the. many questions about. the dollars i'm going to get from the future from information don't clarify if you do it through the e.q. delegation looking into you are spying in here and comes away empty handed while i think it's time for you the american surveillance activities goes on. is just about as laughable as wall street banks regulating themselves. their human beings after all. torture on decent he's a keep piling up on the gaunt tunnel bay prison officials inside the county trying to convince our own crew that the inmates are fine they train for a little insight. and london and thrash out a secret deal to water down the e.u. regulation going behind the bank of brussels to mollify upset bankers and

industrial try and. block syria has destroyed all of its kind of cold weapon production of were bent one day had a shed that's why our polls continue to status about toxic almonds used by the opposition. international news lie from moscow this is aussie with me as you know our thanks for trying it why do you spy and a huge integration has met america's intelligence officials face to face to hear their first hand explanations national security agency was apparently not only topping the phone calls of tens of millions of europeans but intercepting the communications a world leaders as well but the missions members were clearly just a. into by the response they cannot. count reports now 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. 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 e.u. delegation who says this is sort of like trying to give some if you go some information that don't clarify. the situation this is. just you fail we are allies the masters of violence cannot be. on the question against the terrorists and of course not to do do you have information about the telephone or fungal or medical it cannot be justified in the fight against terrorism here to the figures we have seen the europeans have helped him to collect information about other regions of afghanistan yemen and so on not overall. figures. in germs in germany due to the french if the german authorities to observe

it would have done. it so kiss alexander told them whatever intelligence european agencies are sharing with the n.s.a. is from war zones again no way of checking any of that so it 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 a special intelligence committee launched a review into the u.s. surveillance activities overseas and may even try to restrict them although this is something the n.s.a. chief is trying hard to prevent of this 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 and. shows there's little chance the you ass will give up why a topping as has american ship 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. on details on the techniques the n.s.a. uses are being revealed a report on the washington post shows the agency has been harvesting huge tros of data from google and yahoo by breaking into that communications links they say

leaked scantron internal presentation shows how the n.s.a. intercepts google traffic by tapping into the company's data cables millions of records are collected this way on a daily basis as part of a program code named muscular and you can see the n.s.a. engineer is seem to enjoy what they're doing if the smiley face is anything to go by. there's been a new twist in the fate of the mayan who started all this and let's note it has reportedly been given a new job surfing the waves of the russian internet today trying to learn out. no matter how hard the u.s. government is working on mending the shouted image of the gong tunnel become the flow of criticism continues to pour down on the infamous facility a new report by the u.s. based human rights group has found a systematic violations of the science and called for its immediate closure and

achieve and the situation i went to gun turn of a to see what it's like for herself and here is her report. every morning at eight am the u.s. national anthem erupts across the beast that holds america's most scandalous president no one likes to be spit on no one wants to have their own torture hunger strikes 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 now we have the court system determined 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. in the 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 a house as a hospital and library and this is also the 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 lubricate it and we give the patient a choice do they want to have the key which is an agent. area or if they want to lubricate the tube.

most of our patients have been using all of you seem to like it in fact some of our patients are so used to this they will. described which nostril they want this while major world medical bodies are in agreement that force feeding is not ethical and should not be practiced the force feeding them i've got my clients have experienced at one time or they've certainly described this 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 patients that had the civilian world have said 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 request declined the prisoners who've not

met one another and speak different languages keep saying the same thing that we were tortured used. tied our hands 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 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 a at a point where maybe they had been verbalizing a lot of hopelessness we were immediately intervene and try 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 outside 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 r.t. one tonne of cuba and another scandal that the boss of the prison last week james connell the lawyer of amman accused of aiding the nine eleven attacks has claimed his client is now suffers from major health problems after he was tortured by the

cia. immediately upon being transferred to guantanamo bay mr absolutely 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 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. this is our see and still

foreign inspectors who have been inside the country for several weeks now have visited twenty one of twenty three chemical weapons stockpile sites now the reason given as to why they could not go to two of those scientists because it was simply too dangerous there's been no commitment from the rebels fighting that they will ensure the safety of these inspectors but we have been told that these stockpiles at those two sites were moved to sites that the inspectors did in fact investigate the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons says it is extremely satisfied with the way this disarmament program has gone ahead and that all is on track for the final deadline which is the middle of next year by the way syria would have destroyed all of its chemical weapons stockpiles we're receiving reports that earlier this week rebels carried out an attack in which they allegedly used chemical weapons in the north east of the country near the turkish border now it happened near a check post of kurdish defense forces and according to those forces immediately

following the explosion of a shell there was in yellow smoke they also say that they are suffering from symptoms of chemical in head nation and noisier now the russian foreign ministry is calling for an urgent investigation and says it is extremely worrying that this incident is not receiving why disparate coverage. and for more analysis of the syrian chemical weapons under attempts to control them to name for oxana borders walls a pop program coming up in the next hour from now the small world news after this break.

beginning of a trend because brussels again has grown too far if we just look at how many regulations called as memoir run the directive sco out every month by brussels and they harm the national economy is they harm the national competitiveness one size fits all politics that have been tried to pursue do not verse we have seen this during the so-called financial crisis the euro crisis obviously it does not work and this is what we see now it finally becomes clear that this big picture of vic brussels definitely hurts the national interests of the e.u. countries because among themselves there are growing signs of economic hope the irish government has said it will soon leave the bailout program forced upon it when it came close to bankruptcy five years ago and apart present to oksana boyko
