you know why if you care about humans and. this is why you should care what you only call. the fallout from mass surveillance revelations forces u.k. intelligence chiefs to make it a story televised public appearance and we'll look at what to expect. fun fact about guantanamo apparently the life of an eagle on a cross here a little more than a life of the detainee if you run one of these beauties over the fine is ten thousand dollars. we reported from the detention camp on what keeps the guards busy while a former inmate describes the tailor made torture methods used to break prisoners. and the high altitude handover of the sochi olympic torch reaches the ice after historic launch from the baikonur cosmodrome that's it let's take a look at the live pictures there and take in the atmosphere of joy and happiness

because this indeed is a historic moment there. you're watching r t i'm marina joshie thinker much for being with us now hot on the heels of american intelligence bosses trying to justify mass surveillance it's time for british spy chiefs to face a grilling has of the three you came teligent agencies are about to make and i'm president a public appearance to explain their spy operations are you sir first takes a look at what to expect. for the first time you're going to have the three heads of britain's spy agencies in the same room being questioned by m.p.'s now that's part of a session this is going to be broadcast satellite link is going to be live but there will be a short time delay just in case any things revealed that could be considered

a threat to national security so who exactly do we have in these hot seat so we've got so in love in the direct g c h q. parker he's the director general of m i five and we've got joan soyuz who is the sixth chief now they are going to face questions from the intelligence and security committee. as part of an inquiry into the oversight of u.k. intelligence agencies following concerns about the scale of mass surveillance that of course coming of the edward snowden revelations now what you're not going to hear because this is a public session is details of only going intelligence operations in their technique so it's unlikely for example that you'll hear any mention of project tempore that of course being the secret program to do with the gathering of web and

. now this is going to be of course widely scrutinized by people who are watching it's the first time it's happened but this is really going to rest of what exactly is the. most experts agree that intelligence bosses are unlikely to find themselves in hot water unlike the journalists who released now those documents so take a look at afeard the british government has made to plug the leaks. back in july the offices of the guardian newspaper which had some of the files were raided by g.c. h.q. agents and hard drives were destroyed a month later david miranda partner of former guardian journalist glenn greenwald was detained for nine hours at heathrow airport while he was in transit between berlin and rio de janeiro after meeting a filmmaker who was involved in breaking the leaks now the man is challenging his attention through the courts although british authorities insist miranda's actions constituted terrorism professor of international security david goldberg believes

the government's going too far. i do think the public has a right to know exactly be over already i think asians of the intelligence community most definitely i think that the issue around how far the u.k. government can go in squeezing an independent and independent newspaper or news organization is totally is totally unacceptable within a democracy and we have a strong judicial system which is suggesting that in fact the government is going too far and its crackdown home but the key thing is that we have to have trust in our politicians that they will have a responsible oversight of the intelligence agencies otherwise we're no different than any other knowledge in office that. according to the snowden leaks you can tell agents was able to monitor up to six hundred million communications every day and they were the only ones who had access to them eight hundred fifty thousand and

the same police and private u.s. contractors could also dig into u.k. databases as gun education explains britain wasn't alone in helping washington keep an eye on the world. intelligence services of five english speaking countries have joint resources to spy on the whole world the u.s. is the most resourceful its closest ties are with britain's jussi h.q. but canada australia new zealand are also contributing australia backs up washington by keeping tabs on asian countries from the documents leaked by edward snowden who learnt that really are embassies across asia pacific coast based highly sensitive intelligence plucked from the program as part of the five eyes network it's not just terrorists that the five eyes are looking for a former australian intelligence officer previous to the program said the main focus is political diplomatic and economic intelligence most recently the east timorese government complained publicly about australian spying during negotiations

on the future of the timor gap oil and gas reserves canada two is interested in natural resources and is accused of actively spying on south america edward snowden revealed that canada with the help of the n.s.a. hacked into the brazilian ministry of energy and mines he also exposed that the u.s. has been spying on brazil's national oil company edward snowden revealed some details of how the five guys operate but even before intelligence officials made no secret of their quote unquote orwellian cooperation i met yesterday with our five guys colleagues and one of them. offered up the term that pop is become popular and his current results go to the efficiency dividend which is. your willian euphemism for cuts. for these intelligence services it looks like a give and take relationship a two way street or should i say a five way street in washington i'm going to check on r t. what you are going to

live from moscow later in the program japan is braced for the most dangerous operation of the crippled fukushima nuclear power play. since the twenty levin meltdown and our t.v. crew is monitoring events there plus. a new round of nuclear talks opens between iran and world powers we ask whether either side is ready to make the concessions needed to break the standoff. now the cost of maintaining one of the planet's most notorious jails guantanamo bay will hit five billion dollars next year our g.'s crew went to the camp to find out what exactly american taxpayers are paying for. despite misconceptions give lho is not just a geo to be or not to be shot it's also a forty five square mile military base with no plans of going anywhere full of signs of the stablished american life it is a navy base and we just happened to have the camps in here home to the only

mcdonalds on cuban soil a subway sandwich shop a starbucks and a taco bell you got busted vested financial interests that you go to starbucks and . all of these other places that help to set up. the logistical support for the troops that are all over the there are about five and a half thousand people living and working on the base roughly half serve the actual detention center the u.s. government has been leasing this territory since one thousand nine hundred three for just over forty five hundred dollars curiously that is still the price today but it's said that the cuban government has been refusing to accept this money for decades the castro government said you know we don't want this lease anymore in the united states' position was that it's a binding lease and in the lease it actually says that it can't be broken unless both sides both countries agree to that that strikes me as a very odd contract server and territory that the u.s. has occupied against cuba's wishes since one thousand fifty nine most officers come here for short term of up to nine months or longer deployment of two to three years

far from home life isn't put on hold and you can't date certain people wait and certainly have if it's away from your like rank system then you're allowed to there's the downtown an open air movie theater playing all the hottest hollywood blockbusters and it ticky bar to let loose after a hard day's work even though most say schedules aren't that intense anyway we actually get quite a bit of time off like a decent man and we go to an end of year as our activities for people to do m.w. are stands for morale welfare and recreation. almost every sport known to man is available to team get on state of the art facilities. i love it it's a lot of people think there's not much to do but there's definitely an abundance to do. being in a remote location doesn't even have to affect eating habits an all you can eat lunch cost just under five bucks and breakfast is half that price

a downside though information or lack thereof or if you do a lot of the t.v. programs broadcasting here are army focused. and internet is almost nonexistent the beast dubbed no stream a stand by some soldiers even so we're told those serving here are banned from looking at websites like wiki leaks for example once classified always classified. even if the information has long been made public there are other strict regulations in place too fun fact about guantanamo apparently a life of an costs here a little more than a life of a detainee if you run one of these babies over the fine is ten thousand dollars. there's a very strict speed limit in guantanamo and it's a very slow speed limit and people say that that's that's all about the quantised somewhat ironic at a place marred by human rights scandals officials make a point of showing journalists how well prisoners two are kept and thirteen here

were now in a typical cell for a compliant detainee at guantanamo they would be allowed to eat books have a piece here are some head and shoulders shampoo the less compliant ones have to wear the orange uniforms and get only two books at a time because going to the other side so you can see the books detainees can't come in here but the prisoner library lovingly displays the best of their art for t.v. crews to see a lot of pre-selected books to avoid certain topics violence sexual and religious stuff controversy shelves packed with magazines d.v.d.'s and video games plenty of ways for legit prisoners of war to pass the indefinite time they're kept here without charges and party guantanamo bay cuba. of course you can watch our reports from behind the camp's walls including conversations with inmates and their lawyers online here in artie's who do log on any time you like for our special coverage. now the meantime

a russian soyuz spacecraft carrying the sochi two thousand and fourteen olympic torch has just docked with the international space station while the hatches of opened and the crew has carried the torch into the i assess artie's lindsey france is at mission control with more. well it doesn't just josh at the international space station and as you're seeing right now i think the news crew is disembarking they hatch has just opened and one crew member and the torch interview i would be the first one to make it out now of course the crews are very each other it's very exciting where everyone sort of people very different i'm very excited to see this sort of because we're very quick trip just drive our you know of course the ice and very crowded place because it's got three soyuz craft that are dogged out it will work nine crew members and with the end of four g. and purports to be up towards us so it's very exciting that it's been such a success and of course as you can see there's no flame on the torch it cannot be

the lids of course in space and so it is it is just the torch in itself so it's very exciting to see this actually happen live and a lot of smiling faces around here of course the family members are also being broadcast from baikonur of course they're very relieved to see their loved ones arrive safely over there now of course the big event this is saturday when the torch will make history by going on a spacewalk it will be tethered to two two cosmonauts before has to spend several hours in outer space of course we'll be bringing you that live here on ars so you can follow us on twitter your one and mobile devices on television and we will be bringing you those live on saturday but for now everyone is just very excited that what you just started early this morning like normal is now and it was such excess . of about four hundred kilometers actually about you heard so here i mission control if you're in moscow and it's been a success and the video is just amazing to watch. when the friends there are giving

us more information and details there indeed it was a remarkable scene but just this morning the torch was still on earth imagine that the rocket took off for space from the baikonur cosmodrome and stand in our correspondent martin anderson has more on the torch is voyage to the ice. docking confirmed for twenty seven am central time and now the crew and symbol of the upcoming winter games have met on the international space station cosmonauts cut off and so they go to san scheme will take the modified torch on a space walk roughly four hundred kilometers above earth fully docked with the current crew this will only be the second time in the isis history that three soyuz spacecraft and nine crew members have been aboard the lab complex at the same time millions will watch as the taught makes history safety and physics mean they card like the torch in space the design has also been changed so it can't fly away with it it wouldn't make much sense everyone knows there can be no flame in outer space

as nothing burns there and it doesn't make sense to fake it after circling the planet several times the torch will come back to earth with the three returning crew members on the eleventh of november to continue its record breaking relay with the world's attention on this historical moment it's a nervous time for everyone involved we only need to prepare psychologically because you can't just before this work mechanically as some routine job after all we are doing with a symbol here. is always good asean countries working together for the birth of everybody on the planet so in a small way i think it's great that we bring this to the international space station which is another invasion of international cooperation over the coming weeks thousands of torchbearers will join the olympic relay across sixty five thousand kilometers of terrain covering all eighty three regions of russia once complete it will be the longest really in the history of the winter olympics but

all culminating in the opening ceremony of the games in sochi by the black sea february seventh in the mean time the olympic torch meets the final frontier but here we are. a moment that promises to be truly out of this world martin andrews r.t. baikonur. and they will be bringing you more on their record breaking torch relay of course for the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi on saturday when the torch is taking on an historic space walk we'll have special coverage of the amazing event a live here on r.t. well more news will be coming your way after a short break stay with us. deliberate torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through to some nine hundred ton two cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killings.

in a record setting trip by land air sea and others faced. a limping torch relay. on r t r two dot com. only for a green card to gain aren't paying prisoners a dollar a day to do eight or ten or twelve hours of work per day they're the most productive workers of america on the prison population and the policy makers in washington want to turn the whole population into a prison population and then they can say look the so productive willing panel of dollar illegal these license plates the get a stamp there's a certain telemarketing getting people to play a lot of tickets and go to the casinos and blow their want of tax there so productive.

dramas that truth be ignored. stories others who refuse to notice. food strange new world light snack. food picture post to taste. from rooms to to. look. welcome back here with r.t. words of guarded optimism over iran's nuclear crisis solution are once again heard in geneva where a fresh round of talks between tehran and six world powers have gone underway officials say an outline of a long awaited deal is emerging world powers are offering a partial easing of sanctions if iran freezes some parts of its nuclear program

michael mann spokesman for the e.u. foreign affairs chief catherine ashton who chairs the nuclear talks told r.t. there's promise but it's ultimately up to iran to end the standoff the signs are good in the fact that we all getting into the detail in a way that's really never happened before under the previous iranian government be have come here to do serious business to make concrete progress the iranians have expressed the wish to do the same so what we hope is that they will follow up was that good words with good deeds in the negotiation room they have to make us a number of undertaking isn't guaranteed this is a balance the iranian nuclear program where the international community has justified concerns so they have to make that step and really you know agree to do certain things that the international community is demanding for example it's all about the enrichment of uranium which is currently being unreached in iran to a level which is not necessary for a peaceful nuclear program therefore there are certain things that they have to do

of course this is the negotiations that both sides have to be flexible but the the first step really needs to come from the iranian side. and how many mahdi a journalist based in iran disagree is that the toxics as depends purely on iran. no one can can expect a major breakthrough as long as the israeli lobby is putting pressure on the the western side if western side one respects iranian right to enrich uranium. if they are ready to respect that right i can do it in teeth from my sources close to the negotiating team that the talks with definite succeed . otherwise if they are not going to respect your right to enrich uranium it's not going to get anywhere it all says we're going to be more cooperative we're going to be more transparent at the at the same time you don't want. to be more serious that is they have to start lifting the genocidal sanctions those sanctions are killing ordinary iranians diabetics cancer patients have affiliates they're not harming the

government they're harming ordinary people. online and we've got a story of how israel is using the twitter hash tag stop the charm offensive to put across the message that iran is diplomatic efforts are merely an facade. and as the trial over an acid attack on the bolshoi theatre is artistic director continues the victim speaks about the assault and demands almost one hundred thousand dollars in compensation had to r.t. dot com for that story. on your common life. policies i think people.

should have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. now a nuclear cleanup team in fukushima is preparing to move the power plants fuel rods to a safer location it's the most hazardous undertaking at the japanese facility since it was crippled by an earthquake and tsunami two and a half years ago has the latest. extracting these rods from the pools is a really hard task because each one of them called ways of more than three hundred kilograms and they cannot even hit each other that's what caused a nuclear chain reactions not only these pools are crippled but the machinery the automated machinery doesn't work as well so every rod has to be extracted from the pool manually the typical company running the fukushima clear up process and the japanese government are now in a vicious cycle situation because on the one hand they need to remove these fuel

rods they are contaminating the water as has been reported in the waters of the question when you clip our plant and on the other hand of course this is a very risky venture because they have to literally extract every rod and there's more than a thousand of them and each rod has to be extracted manually we also managed to take a peek inside the no go zone in other areas and you know what what shocked me the most that surprised me the most and i'm saying that by my experiences of travelling to the explosions only in chernobyl that in the fukushima area the towns which are just close to the station ten fifteen kilometers away from the station they have been reopened for residents were literally saw people rebuilding their houses in this area in case anything happens these people would have to be relieved evacuated again and or putting themselves under very serious risk well in fact in the fukushima region itself there are several n.g.o.s who do not believe the government and the tepco organization in their measurements of the radiation levels the one which struck me the most and we talked with them yesterday the movement called the

mothers of fukushima these are ordinary women who are afraid for the safety and health of their children they bought radiation meters which the cheapest of them costs around a thousand u.s. dollars and they are just trolling the areas taking their own measurements and sending them to the government but the government as they say is doing nothing it is not considering the radiation measurements as if they are trying to play down the scale of the things happening even in tokyo in front of the industrial ministry there is a peek at that there is a protest happening for already eight hundred days with the people there protesting against nuclear energy and the actions of the government and the tepco so you can see how serious the rhetoric of the anti-nuclear movement is now in japan even though they say that their voices being often silenced by those that. christina console founder and host of nuke radio says the engineers are trying to do the impossible while putting public safety at risk. the more i study this problem in fact i've been up all night reading i haven't even gone to sleep. the more that i

look into this i don't know how japan thinks to pull this off the pictures that have been released go at the amount of damage that the racks in the pool have sustained there's no way that they're going to be able to hold those assemblies out . and do it without bumping into other stings and that's where the danger is the other problem is we have three maltin cores that we don't even know where they are and it's really surprising that there isn't a single expert who's called for ground penetrating radar in order to identify where the scores are so that that problem can also be addressed. and other stories from around the world the riot police have stormed the state media building in athens evicting freetown service who have occupied it for five months scuffles erupted between the officers and the activists the public broadcaster your t.v. was shut down in june as part of deep budget cuts with hundreds of employees losing

their jobs as a result. in terror police have clashed with students angry at the organization responsible for university education eleven protesters have been arrested students say the board is a remnant of the dictatorial coup of nine hundred eighty and should have total responsibility for higher education they previously occupied the dean's office angering university and set fire to documents. to the philippines now where over two thousand residents have been relocated from areas is the path of super typhoon schools have been closed flights canceled and emergency services put on high alert the storm which is believed to be the strongest this year is expected to hit the philippines within the next twenty four hours. coming up max and stacey explore america's debt paradox where growth. has become simply too expensive to sustain.

illegal immigration is a hot topic and everyone always says that immigrants do the work that no one wants to do well let me explain why that is i want to kurdistan vacation got into a taxi term by a former migrant worker who used to make a living in moscow he told me that he really worked hard driving unloading trucks after five years he came back home and bought a house yes from a seller that russians can't even survive on he was able to buy a house employers and russia in america say that locals don't want to work or demotivated well want to margaret work or on a salary that could build a bright future one compared to a local who can't even make ends meet while you could see why the migrant workers are a lot more motivated let me put it to you this way if you knew that you had to work five hard years of some awful labor under awful conditions somewhere far away like

brazil or germany what would be able to pay off a house would you do it i think you would let's not buy into this myth that locals and country x. don't want to work they just don't want to work in complete futility for table scraps but that's just my opinion. of. economic ups and downs in the final. day of the deal sang i and the rest because i think me a few will be everything. welcome

to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser you know apparently it takes one point three million liters of water to make a liter of water that's right the litter of water that you purchased down there at the shop it requires one point three nine liters of water in the whole process of getting the water manufactured in water distributing the water consuming the water to get that one liter of water it's called the economics of suicide yes humans are frickin stupid but even that's not as idiotic as when we try to create one unit of g.d.p. growth get this sense the collapse of lehman brothers some estimate that it has taken eighteen dollars of debt to create one dollar of g.d.p. growth it's called stall speed mayday mayday mayday the suckers go and say. thanks the first article here that we're going to discuss chart who are.
