olympic torch relay. the. protests against housing policies clashes in rome as activists vent their anger at the government over the affordable cost of living. in syria successfully destroyed all of its chemical weapons production facilities and. the reports continue to surface about rebel fighters using toxic armaments. looks like a sport for a tropical beach holiday. here . is more like a living hell on earth. in our latest report from inside guantanamo bay prison we look at the allegations of torture and abuse as officials try to convince the world that the inmates are doing

just fine plus. was called. in the wake of nine eleven twelve years off to try to the american officials are told to keep using september the eleventh as the justification for expanding surveillance home and abroad. this is. a day fierce clashes in the capital have left at least six people injured police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters gathered in central rome to demand better social housing well from the italian capital we're joined live by.

was the demonstration now there are various reports about who actually provoked the clashes what did you see happen there today. yes what i saw is that there were some people. who came into the demonstration with the helmets and so i think their intention was really to start a fight with the police and not to have a peaceful protest and when they decided to move. from the parliament to the streets of rome which was not supposed to happen then did reach some point to where the police to stop them and they said they could not go forward and so there was some arguing with the police and then they decided to start fighting and after a bit today the police are. sold the crowd started running away because they could not breathe they were in tears so how well do you think how well do you think the police then handle this situation what do you make of their behavior. well

i think the police and the situation correctly because they did not provoke the protesters. they're only hostile to was to troll diesel smoke bombs but only because they had been attacked by the protesters so i think the did quite well a set up and two weeks ago in rome where there were other clashes and they ended the protest today but all the protests could continue again in the capital there over the next day or two. day after the fight with the police they went back to the parliament and they ended the protest before the parliament we don't file it's. delayed delayed man from demonstration they said that there's going to be another demonstration here in rome on november the town so maybe we can expect more clashes in the forthcoming days sure so we're seeing it. clashes two weeks ago now today

and more still to come so this is not over for the italian capital. yes i think we're going to see other clashes in the next days especially on november the tenth the same movement another demonstration here in the capital and do you think though the authorities are listening to the concerns of these protests protesters the concerns about the rising cost of living and in particular the cost of housing. well i think the government isn't really much caring about it because they think they have bigger issues like viber of the government. and he's been suspended from from the. coming days so i think this is not the main issue in the agenda of the government right now so the protesters they don't agree they don't understand about the fact that perhaps they could be facing

a greek style bailout if the measures are not pursued. i think they're aware of these but i think they're also very very hungry i mean they're very angry so i think what happened today is very symbolic of what is happening right now in the nation with a government that is actually not doing any team because they are stuck trying to survive and. doing something concrete with the country thanks very much mary great to talk to you live. journalist an eyewitness here on our to appreciate your time thank you. snowden's revelations about the. scene that u.s. intelligence forces go to great lengths to justify their activities officially they've been told to use nine eleven as their main argument according to a document leaked in the media and some politicians are happy to follow that advice

. what i want to tell you about is how did we get here nine eleven prior to nine eleven we had no way of connecting those dots what section two fifteen does allow the government to connect the dots these dutch should have and likely could have been connected to prevent nine eleven many of these reform proposals run the risk of recreating the type of cumbersome over lawyer pfizer regime that proved so inadequate in the wake of nine eleven one incident was called nine eleven that should never happen again when as you times correspondent pepe escobar thinks this approach cannot be justified because it's mainly intelligence on the ground not electronic surveillance that helps prevent terrorism nowadays we have this electronic mule filled the lism in-built in the george orwell orwellian panopticon complex where the piece of it has

a start it's always nine eleven justifying lying on virtually every citizen in the world from sub-saharan africa to western china this is completely absurd because they are not for ending any laws because of electronic surveillance on top of it we cannot believe it is seeing general keith alexander chief of n.s.a. says he is an orwellian functionary you know defending you pretty realistic metal ball of gene fact it's complete it's beyond surrealism because it doesn't make sense if you don't have a ground that can tell you cannot fight what was called the war on terror and the obama administration started to call overseas contingency operations all c.e.o. you cannot do all c.e.o. with without boots on the ground in terms of intel and if if you watch homeland the american series you know that. more details on the techniques used by the n.s.a. are being revealed a report in the washington post shows the agency has been harvesting huge amounts

of data from google and yahoo by breaking into their communications links this 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 are collected in this way on a daily basis as part of a program code named muscular and the n.s.a. engineers enjoy what they're doing if the smiley face is only to go by or to get a clearer idea of what these doodles mean check out dot com right now also the man behind all those leaks is now earning his keep three months after being granted asylum in russia edward snowden finds a job the details coming up in just a few minutes from now. all of the facilities used in syria to produce chemical weapons have been destroyed a day ahead of schedule it's being seen as a major step under the russian american brokered deal to rid syria of its stockpile of toxic arms by the middle of twenty fourteen. has more. what we're hearing now

from an official inside the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons is that damascus has destroyed all equipment that is used for producing mixing and selling chemical weapons this comes a day ahead of the agreed november first deadline and it is a major achievement in an extremely tight and ambitious disarmament program the foreign inspectors who have been inside the country for several weeks now have visited twenty one out 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 when 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 a yellow smoke they also say that they are suffering from symptoms of chemical in head nation and north korea 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 as they were told to show me in the world an author who's written extensively about the middle east including the syrian war show me in the syrian government is clearly cooperating with this international team how important now is it for the compliance of the rebels to finish this task now. well i think it becomes increasingly important as we hear reports

of rebels potentially having chemical weapons or chemical agents of some kind but i think primarily the importance of rebel compliance and assistance and transparency in this process is because they are often they are scattered throughout the country and highly contested areas where shelling and attacks on both sides are going on and obviously inspectors and syrian government. folks have to go into these areas to to assure compliance with their obligations to the o.p.c. w. now just because we see the official removal of chemical weapons from syria that doesn't necessarily mean the rebels themselves call make toxic weapons after we spoke to experts here and you say it's quite easy to do so the threat is still there. it's certainly as in fact like i said there is that evidence that rebels have some their hands on some chemical weapons we've certainly

seen in iraq and turkey rebels being apprehended with chemical agents components of chemical weapons in their possession and there is even suggestion and eyewitnesses that they had chemical weapons and. but i think. really important point and this is something i heard from a syrian government official earlier this year the syrian government has for some time now viewed chemical weapons as a liability and a burden precisely for these reasons because potentially rebels could get their hands on small amounts of these chemical agents and use them across the border in israel or turkey to then justify a military attack against the syrian government so they have been quite pleased that the international community has come together to in fact rid them of these weapons so that excuse no longer exists but what about the chemical to solve moment itself just how significant is it for the overall role peace process in syria.

i'm not sure it's very important at all chemical weapons like scuds and cluster munitions and you know things like this have been narratives to hype up the conflict and draw international intervention on different levels this was a straw man and it's been sidelined now i think what's important about this chemical weapons. the involvement the international community in removing chemical weapons from syria is that it afforded the international community particularly those countries that want it or worse seeking an exit from the syrian conflict to have an excuse then to come together and resolve longstanding issues with adversaries using chemical weapons as the back door into these negotiations of course many people want to see the whole world rid of the threat of chemical weapons this is been a successful russia u.s.

initiative do you think perhaps this could lead the way for other countries to be targeted that could be a positive effect globally with this initiative in syria. well it's not just chemical weapons of course it's biological weapons and of course for the middle east the issue of nuclear weapons so i think obviously this creates the right kind of momentum to then address all these other longstanding issues however what doesn't necessarily exist in a larger examination of w m d's in the region is political will there was certainly political will over this issue because as i said it wasn't chemical weapons in syria that was the issue as much as it was. syria and seeking an exit from from the syrian military theater and using that as an excuse to then move forth the negotiations on another track so political will needs to exist i think the momentum is there but what we have to wait and see if political will will manifest ok show

it's absolutely beautiful place and you get around 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 camp delta 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 in we give the patient a choice do they want to have the key which is agent it will numb the area or if they want olive oil 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 describe 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 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 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 it 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 climbed the prisoners who've not met one another and speak different languages keep saying the same thing that we were tortured used. tied. to the chair legs to the ground.
