can you give us again today if you do. i can give you the guarantee on believe that it's true the much anticipated u.k. intelligence chiefs televised public grilling turns into more of a q. and a session with predictable questions big. also coming up a report from guantanamo bay prison guards feel the comfort of billions of dollars being spent to keep up this spirit. here a little more than a life of the detainee if you want to find ten thousand dollars deprived of the most basic human rights. torture is one form of prison that tells. high altitude to hand over the. reaches the i assess after the story launched from

the baikonur cosmodrome we've got the pictures coming up to. a very good evening from heaven and if you just joined us just after eleven pm watching r.t. our top story on the heels of american intelligence bosses trying to justify mass surveillance since britain's spy chief souping giving the floor to explain themselves but those who expected a heavy grilling room for serious disappointment are furthest been following the hearing explains. well of course the searching coming as a sensitive time for the government and those intelligence agencies on the back of the edward snowden revelations now we saw these three spy chief being questioned over a broad range of issues but i'm going to take you like to the chief. keef's

in lago he was asked why it was necessary for the majority to have intelligence gathered in the attempts to catch the minority of doing wrong and he answered that with an analogy of a haystack so trying to find a needle in a haystack essentially saying that they don't look at the innocent hey if you like is an analogy that he used a fair bit do you think we really saw the level of scrutiny because a lot of people have been calling for indeed it think at the beginning of the session when we heard it said that witnesses are going to be asked to reveal any secret information so you're never really going to get any mind blowing revelations from those three spy chief but i do think people have been looking perhaps to complete the questioning to have gone a little bit further on some of those points and i think one of the most interesting bits in that question and answer session was when the. boss said that

much of their success lies in terrorists being unaware of what they do and he went on to say that as a direct consequence of the snowden revelations their task has been made more difficult now let's take a listen to that. effect of the media coverage brutal media coverage will make the job that we have harder for years to come the leaks from snowden have been very damaging they've put our operations at risk is clear that our groceries are rubbing their hands with glee our card is nothing you don't produce. information you can share with those as to actual hard evidence the terrorists or potential terrorists have been looking at these reports not in this public form and again i'm not sure that people are going to be fully satisfied with the answer is

that they received the main issue here i think is that a lot of the questions and a lot of the answers given from those spite sheets were centrally asking the public to take it on trust you know we're not sneakers that's not what we do we're protecting. lives in the and the country and i think the problem is in the wake of the edges of the nation's of course a lot of that trust has being eroded and say that is where the difficulty is going to live or certainly there are some interesting bits of information in there that are going to be very closely scrutinized but i think certain you're going to see this debate continuing in sort of further will most experts predicted the intelligence forces were likely to find themselves in hot water and like of course the journalists and really snowden's documents let's take a brief look at efforts 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 the hard drives they were destroyed then a month later you may recall david miranda

a partner of former guardian journalist glenn greenwald was detained for nine hours at heathrow airport he was in transit at the time between berlin and rio after apparently beating a filmmaker who was involved in breaking the leaks david miranda no instant lease challenging his detention through the courts of the british authorities insist he's actions constituted terrorism so that's still going on professor of international security david gold braid spoke to us and believes the government's gone too far. i do think the public has a right to know exactly the overall ramifications of the intelligence community most definitely i think that the issue around how far the u.k. government can go in squeezing an independent an 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 on the government but be key thing is that we have to

have trust in our politicians that they will have proper responsible oversight of the intelligence agencies otherwise we're no different than any other not democracy . according to the snowden leaks u.k. intelligence was able to monitor up to six hundred million communications every day they weren't the only ones either who had access to them eight hundred fifty thousand n.s.a. employees at private u.s. contractors could also dig into u.k. databases and next has got to teach you can explain britain wasn't alone either in helping washington to 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 embassies across asia pacific coast highly sensitive

intelligence plucked from a program as part of the five eyes network is not just terrorists that the five eyes are looking for a former australian intelligence officer privy 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 us 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 poppy

is become popular and his countries australia call it the efficiency dividend which is. the orwellian 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 our to. commit bit later in the program japan's price for the most dangerous operation of the fukushima plant since that truly love meltdown. monitoring events there for you because you know with them plus we have come to do serious business to make concrete progress the e.u. expresses optimism over the current round of nuclear talks with iran but that approach isn't shared by everybody beyond what's the other side to be more serious that is they have to start lifting the genocidal sanctions those sanctions are killing ordinary iranians. the cost of maintaining one of the planet's most notorious

jails when tandem obey is set to hit five billion dollars next year artie's crew went to that camp to find out exactly what 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 there you go to starbucks and . all of these other places that help to set up a 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 so when 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 whole 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 a ticket bar to let loose after a hard day's work even though most say schedules aren't that intense anyway we

regulations in place to 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 we're now in a typical so for a compliant detainee at guantanamo they would be allowed to eat books have a two piece here some head and shoulders shampoo the less compliant ones have to wear the orange uniforms and get only two books at a time i was 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

and symbol of the upcoming winter games have met on the international space station cosmonauts cut off and so go to sun 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 top 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 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 relate with the world's attention on this historic moment it's

a nervous time for everyone involved we only need to prepare psychologically because you can't just before miss work mechanically or some routine job after all we are doing with a symbol here if you will is always good to see countries working together for the better 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 presentation 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 relate in the history of the winter olympics which will culminate in the opening ceremony of the games in sochi by the black sea feb seventh in the meantime the lympics porch meets the final frontier. but here we are home a moment that promises to be truly out of this world martin andrews and see

baikonur or as you well are to bring you more on the record breaking torch relay of course for the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi on saturday when that torch is taken on that historic space or we'll have special coverage of the amazing event live for you here on this very channel and they're back to the present at sixty minutes past eleven more news with me after this break. george is on an epic journey to structure. one hundred twenty three days. through to the mother tongue two cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people. or sixty five those who come in. in a record setting trip by land air. space. olympic torch relay. on r t r two dot com.

what's happened is law enforcement and the national security agency has gone behind our collective backs and tried to accomplish this using the courts in secret and that's truly what the issue is a broken whatever trust and violated whatever trust we may have had and that's the real issue and they're going to have to earn that back the hard way. but if you're going to watch these policies i think you know.

a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. pakistani taliban has rejected peace negotiations with the government comes hours after the militants chose a new leader to replace the former head killed by a u.s. drone attack last week i spoke to them about british journalist who says the u.s. was asked to put a halt to its drone strikes but chose to ignore it the taliban are angry at. last week the previous leader of the taliban who was killed in a u.s. drone attack mauler for the last the new newly appointed chief spokesperson for the taliban and leader of the taliban now was always against peace talks even before

the killing of hacking was food last week and he was responsible for the shooting of malala yousafzai the insurgency from two thousand and seven to two thousand and nine in the swat valley that for thousands of pakistanis killed so he has always been against peace talks with their pakistan government who have accused the us of sabotaging talks the us were aware that peace talks were imminent and they had been asked by the pakistan government to hold strong strikes whilst these peace negotiations were occurring everybody in pakistan knew about peace talks occurring so it's very difficult to imagine they weren't aware of them and where do peace negotiations go from here at the moment they've come to a grinding halt you know boxed on government are angry at the u.s. and the taliban are angry at the pakistan government and it just seems that nobody seems to be going anywhere with peace talks. words of guarded optimism over iran's

nuclear crisis solution are once again being heard in geneva where a fresh round of talks between iran and six world powers are going on the way 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 a spokesman for the e.u. foreign affairs chief catherine ashton who chairs the nuclear talks and told r.t. there is promise but it's ultimately up to iran to end the standoff the signs are good in the fact that we are getting into the detail in a way that's really never happened before under the previous iranian government we 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 their words their good words with good deeds in the negotiation room a have to make a certain number of undertakings and guarantees this is about 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 reached 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 a negotiation supposed sides have to be flexible but the first step really needs to come from the iranian side. how many murders a journalist based in to run he disagrees that the talks success depends purely on iran no one can get expect a major breakthrough as long as the israeli lobby is putting pressure on the western side if they have western side one still respect iranian right to enrich uranium if they are ready to respect that right i can go in teeth from my sources close to the negotiating team that the talks would definitely succeed. otherwise if they're not going to respect your right to enrich uranium it's not going to get anywhere iran says we're going to be more cooperative we're going to

be more transparent at the. same time iran wants the other side to be more serious that is they have to start lifting the genocidal sanctions those sanctions are killing ordinary iranians diabetic's cancer patients have affiliates they're not harming the government they're harming ordinary people. all our news lots of common lots of great pictures online for us twenty four seventh's like these stories an outspoken advocate of such sanctions israel increasingly resorting to twitter with the. state with the touch tag hash tag stop the charm offensive spreading the message of the relatively moderate efforts merely a facade so we've got more of that online also there too as the trial over that acid attack from a poll show theatres artistic director continues the victim speaks out about the assault on line with us and demands almost one hundred thousand dollars in compensation keep up to speed on. reporting

next a nuclear clean up to move fukushima is preparing to move the power plants fuel rods to a safe location it's the most hazardous undertaking at the japanese facility since it was crippled by that earthquake and tsunami two and a half years ago alexia jessica's got the latest for you. 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 would cause a nuclear chain reaction not only these pools are crippled but the machinery the automated machinery doesn't work as well so everyone has to be extracted from the pool manually the tepco 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 contaminated the water as has been reported in the waters of the fukushima nuclear power 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 drop has to be extracted manually we also managed to take a peek inside the no go zone in other areas and you know what's what shocked me the most and surprised me the most and i'm saying that by my experiences of traveling to the explosions on interim novel 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 are did 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 cost around a thousand u.s. dollars and they are just but trawling the areas taking their own measurements and

sending them to the government but the government as they say is doing nothing is not considering the radiation measurements as if they're trying to play down the scale of the things happening even in tokyo in front of the industrial ministry there's a peek at there's 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 power. it would use a brief rally by kurds against the construction of a barrier on the turkey syria turn violent turkish police fired tear gas and used water cannons dispersed the crowd testers insist the construction would separate residences and easily move freely across the border the kurdish peace and democracy party has promised more olives in the coming days if the turkish government continues with its plans star for the state t.v. channel and spade to be protesting against its closure earlier r t v u v n valencia

mean again in thirty three minutes. 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 driver 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 for the seller that russians can't even survive and he was able to buy a house employers and russian america say that locals don't want to work are 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 market 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 but would be able to pay off the house would you do it i think you would let's not buy into this mess. that locals in country x. don't want to work they just don't want to work in complete futility for table scraps but the surest my point. welcome to the kaiser report i am max kaiser you know apparently it takes one point

three nine liters of water to make a liter of water that's right the leader of water they purchased down there at the shop it requires one point three nine liters of water in the whole process 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. the first article here that we're going to discuss chart this stall speed of which you speak paul brodsky the fed is hold.
