to the point that some. many questions but no one. that i'm going to get from the feed some information. should be e.u. delegation looking into us buying in europe comes away empty handed while an internal review into american surveillance goes on. it is laughable it is just about as laughable as wall street banks regulating themselves. their human beings after all the torture and abuse accusations keep piling up and one. officials inside to try to convince our crew the inmates are just fine for a look from inside. their secret deal to water down the e.u. regulations right behind the back of brussels to mollify upset on the industrial

giant. it's not just off the twelve o'clock noon here in moscow it's the life with the headlines it's good to have you with us today why do you spy and e.u. delegation has met america's intelligence officials face to face to hear their explanations how the u.s. national security agency was apparently not only tapping the phone calls of tens of millions of europeans but also intercepting the communications of world leaders as well but the missions members were clearly disappointed by the response they got. reports from washington. the e.u. delegation came to get answers from the n.s.a. and they got nothing keith alexander told members of the e.u.
4:02 am
delegation that they are not spying on european citizens on a massive scale obviously there is no way of checking it i caught up with some members of that he says this is sort of like trying to get from some information. don't clarify. the situation. we are lies the mass of the violence cannot be based on the question against the terrorists and of course in order to do do you have information about the telephone or fungal or medical it cannot be justified in the fight against terrorism here the figures we have seen the europeans have how to collect information about as a regions of afghanistan yemen and so on not overall. figures. in terms in german need to give in to the french if you germany. would have done. it so keep alexander told them whatever intelligence european agencies are sharing
4:03 am
with the n.s.a. is from war zones again no way of checking any of that so was that just a symbolic gesture on the part of the e.u. delegation to ask those questions well they definitely need to show european citizens that their representatives are not completely new so they came to washington expressed reserved indignation quite reserved and agreed to cooperate further we've seen it before. now a special intelligence committee launched a review into the u.s. surveillance activities overseas and may even try to restrict them so this is something the n.s.a. chief is working very hard to prevent have a listen it is much more important for this country that we defend this nation and take the beatings. it is to give up a program that would result in this nation being attacked by a huge showing there's little chance the u.s. will give up its wiretapping that's according to american geo political analyst

eric draitser. to entrust the scene bureaucrats like clapper and others who have been caught lying publicly on the record to congress and to other policymakers and officials about the nature of these programs about what the united states is doing about its very operations in the most public sense of the word and so we are to intrust these people with some kind of an internal review it is laughable it is just about as laughable as wall street banks regulating themselves. and many more details of the techniques the n.s.a. uses are being revealed a report now in the washington post showing the agency has been harvesting huge amounts of data from google and yahoo by simply breaking into their communications system links this leaked sketch from an internal presentation shows how the n.s.a. intercepts google traffic by tapping into the company's data cables millions of records collected in this way on a daily basis as part of

a program code named muscular and as you can see right here the n.s.a. engine is soon to enjoy what they're doing if smiley face is anything to go by. we get many more impressions of what these doodles mean on our website dot com. now on the program no matter how hard the u.s. government's working on mending the shattered image of guantanamo bay the flow of criticism continues to shower down on the prison a new report by a u.s. based human rights group has found quote systematic violations of the side and called for its immediate closure. went directly to guantanamo bay to see what it's like for herself from deep inside the walls of good mo is her report. every morning at eight am the u.s. national anthem erupts across the beast that holds america's most scandalous prison no one likes to be spit on no one wants to have their own torture hunger strikes
4:06 am
and suicides have marred this place since two thousand and two and they're human beings after all they're there's no reason to expect that they enjoy being here you know we pretend otherwise prisoners held indefinitely in the name of the never ending war on terror whether they're innocent or guilty is not our job right you know we have the court system to time and that in just over a decade a total of seven hundred seventy nine prisoners the majority released without charges today one hundred sixty four remain over half of them cleared for release but still kept locked up. on the other side of the barbed wire. life is a blast. furnace and water and it's nice there's nothing really bad about here just like any common american town now is awfully scared to come here but i mean it's absolutely beautiful place and you get around all the other stuff getting around the other stuff is not hard a lot of what goes on here is kept under

a thick veil of denial and secrecy delta house is a hospital and library and this is also a place where patients are force fed and even though the hunger strike is largely and officially said to be over we know that at least fifteen people are continually being force fed here today a tube is passed down through a person's nostril and pushed all the way down to their stomach before it's passed down the nose we lubricated and we give the patient a choice that they want to have. which is agent who will numb the area or if they want to lubricate the tube. most of our patients have been using all of the will. in fact some of our patients are so. used to this they will describe which nostril they want this while major world medical bodies are in agreement that force feeding is not ethical and should
4:08 am
not be practiced the force feeding them i've got my clients of experience to guantanamo they've certainly described it as torture the restraint chair that they're strapped into they actually call the torture chair an arabic force feeding takes up to forty five minutes and is performed twice a day the places that had the civilian world of it feel strange i've never heard insisting on. i have not heard that good move fishes are beyond nonchalant about the highly criticized practice you might feel differently from the way i might feel uncomfortable has been the most of it i have heard but they don't even believe in what this thing anymore because they know it sounds stupid i volunteer that the procedure be demonstrated on me requested klein and the prisoners who've not met one another and speak different languages keep saying the same thing that we were tortured used. to the chair legs to the ground. strap across and they forced in a tube into our noses never in thirteen years have detainees been allowed to speak
4:09 am
directly to a journalist while remaining at get most only leaking statements through lawyers they would love nothing more than to sit down with journalists and just tell them you know about their daily lives but communicating seems to only occur here if someone was it a point where maybe they had been verbalizing a lot of hopelessness we were immediately intervening and trying to assist that person to make sure that there wasn't any thoughts of maybe wanting to harm themselves or in their lives with charts like these often used to pinpoint patients despair you asked them how do you feel right now and they'll be able to point to it we have not had a patient in this area. thank heavens meanwhile six suicides and dozens of suicide attempts have taken place at the detention facility we haven't seen any autopsies the u.s. government hasn't released any formal reports or findings we're now inside two active camps at guantanamo camp five old single cells where the so-called less

compliant detainees are held camp number six is one filled with communal cells when officials deem that detainees have behaved better there will be warded by being allowed to live in groups while detainees are kept away from us what we witness are clean empty prison cells with cozy pajamas colgate toothpaste and maximum security shampoos paraded in front of journalists as proof everything is so much better here than any silly horror stories we all have heard and. one ton of cuba and another scandal that battered the prison last week james connell the lawyer of one of the men they're accused of aiding the nine eleven attacks has no claim that his client suffers from major health problems after being tortured by the cia here's what he had to say to us. immediately upon being transferred to guantanamo bay mr abu cheek went to the medical staff and complained that he had suffered a head injury while in cia custody nothing was done to follow up on that there's no
4:11 am
investigation into someplace else told military commissions there's no investigation into the possibility of a federal civilian court there are still a significant number of people who are on hunger strike at guantanamo bay who are being force fed and sometimes hospitalized the most important question is the silencing of the defendants that they can't tell anyone whether that's the un special rapporteur on torture or members of congress and their staff who are investigating the issue they can't tell anyone about what happened to them in cia custody that's what we're challenging because if we can break the silence on that question there could be real movement on guantanamo bay are still to come on the program here on. the number one priority would be to make a decision that is based on what is the best and most you would have been sustainable for our people or for economy the head of the irish government kenny talking to watty about becoming the first country to turn around the financial boat

can't say those words anymore either or we might just possibly remember something bad which could lead to the ultimate horror of the modern western world unpleasant thoughts. we see a lot of western countries the term citizen becoming offensive because it makes resident foreigners legal or illegal feel like second class people who compared actual citizens legally you kind of are if you're offended that you are not treated as a citizen of seattle why not assimilate become a citizen the united states join the team but that's just my opinion. i think. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of
