just gone pasta eleven oclock in moscow you love with us i wash our teeth international with me to buy on the day let's take a look at our stories. human rights activists lawyers and journalist us standing shoulder to shoulder and preparing to march on the white house with one demand shut down guantanamo bay saturday is now the annual day of action used to protest twelve years of indefinite detention at the war on terror prison and as artie's honest the sea of children i reports age has a mellowed guantanamo one bit. hidden on a tropical island a symbol of promises made being far from promises kept it will leave an appalling

black mark in the history books unless the people who advocate for its continued existence when and if they win then i. suppose that civilized values that america has will be gone forever twelve years ago the us brought to guantanamo its first detainees of the war on terror the us and powerful sections in the ruling class of the us want a place that openly defy international law it's a decision that's been made and that they want to display a place that we can treat people however we want to whenever we want to the tube is poured into the bag scandal surrounding torture and force feeding mass hunger strikes of desperation and dozens of suicide attempts that hasn't been something that has been an issue since i have been here in a facility that has long stopped making sense if it ever did spike the rhetoric it really isn't about national security or prisoners being so dangerous that they can't possibly be released and therefore that can't be true out of seven hundred

seventy nine. in these past twelve years only seven have been convicted and sentenced we have seen eleven prisoners released between august and december last year compared to just five men in the whole of the previous three years so it's movement but it would be unwise to think that you know when a. hundred fifty five. and seventy six of those men were cleared for release the us struggling with what to do with them and then even bleaker future still ahead for the other seventy nine prisoners facing the abyss of indefinite detention. because they were somewhere somebody. is not our job right after a majority of detainees went on hunger strike last year obama's administration was pushed to make baby steps again by double standards and overlooking the law international treaty obligations mean that we shouldn't be sending people back to

countries where they face the risk of a treatment of torture this followed in some cases but completely ignored in others two men were recently sent to algeria amid grave concerns of possible persecution on the ground the guy who was our. whole adult life basically in europe and in canada and there was really no reason why college educated guy was fluent in german english and french and i should be sent home. and probably trapped there are unable to emigrate because of the stigma of the future of some of those released over the years even more questioned and increasingly grim as media claims surfaced that the cia might have reportedly been engaged in recruiting some of the prisoners as double agents in exchange for freedom our job here is to do the safe legal humane and transparent custody of the detainees while an alleged tug of war between the president's will to shut the prison and congress resisting this is officially used as an excuse to avoid simply closing the place down despite all cost. no promises

to do so i think the only reason you can get away with or trade it really is your credit. you know since this was somehow harder to do now that it was five years you were president you know what politicians human rights organisations legal experts and common sense hold for the struggle of guantanamo prisoners in america's self-made mess of the last twelve years it's already so hard to clean up reasons to keep it around are likely to breed more anniversaries to cause i'm still going to r.t. you. in terms of transparency twenty four teams off to a murky start for guantanamo washington is trying harder than ever to control the information coming out of the prison but snippets still leak out here's the latest letter from matt the last british inmate at guantanamo in it he describes the humiliating and degrading searches that inmates are forced to undergo just to make

a phone call to they annoy is guantanamo has failed to depth in his spirits and he does make a number of corpse about the guards going out of their way to search even inmates genitals. medea benjamin co-founder of the code pink antiwar group says what's happening in guantanamo amounts to psychological torture let's remember these people have been held now for twelve years imagine in your own life what twelve years would would be like we received today a note from one of the prisoners shakur amr who is a citizen of britain has been cleared for release for years now and his know it was heartbreaking because he said that what he really misses most is having played a part in the lives of his children his youngest child was born on the day that he arrived in one town and low he has never even seen his youngest child this is mental torture for these prisoners. will be covering the march on the white house

as it gets under way later on as reaching for that here on r t international. list of bags taking part in europe's biggest unflashy is seeing contests has been confirmed and it's getting shorter by the yum economic troubles are forcing country after country to jump the euro vision ship as artie's alexy reports. knowledge represented russia at the u. revision song contest in twenty ten despite only coming eleventh he describes his participation as a major highlight which propelled him to new heights audience grew very very much many people to get to know us and so they began to come to our concerts it was great. music experience because it was a concert on the great greatest. auditory that i could ever

eurovision saw a peak participation of forty three countries next year poland and armenia withdrew from the contest in twenty thirteen there were joined by boss near turkey slovakia and portugal this time gracious serbia bulgaria and cyprus have also jumped off their eurovision ship. and that list could expand as many simply cannot afford to take part in the future circus that is euro vision like cyprus where roughly. every fifth person is unemployed i'm not an expert on the euro region and white what's happening i'm describing the situation in cyprus and i'm not surprised that this decision has been taken given the fact that. you know in other domains i'm talking about health education and culture the show's bosses say there's nothing to worry about we refresh the format and continue to do so whenever needed to keep the euro vision song contest the most popular pan-european entertainment t.v.

show but at this rate of countries dropping out of the competition there would likely have to invent something very soon to keep europe's longest running song contest from losing its voice. reporting from moscow. not only has here a vision and been using contestants in its budget has also been on the decline in two thousand and ten no way spent fifteen million to host the competition that went up to twenty two million spent by germany in two thousand and eleven by two thousand and twelve sweden hoffer that budgets and this year the plan budget has been cut by more than half again at five million dollars they. when it comes to losing money our financial guru in mexico is always has a shop word and his latest program is on hand with a lesson in modern grandma where there's a special twist. because. it has been voted the word of the year by the american

a nuclear deal that was agreed in november and to run itself insists all outstanding issues have been resolved but those positive signals have been counterbalanced by an internal right across the atlantic the white house says senators who support a bill proposing for the sanctions are responding america into war i tunes marina explains. it was just a few months ago inside the united nations headquarters where the presidents of iran and the u.s. lead ground work for new and positive diplomatic relations however the historic success achieved over the past four months may soon be significantly compromised if not just stories by america's own lawmakers according to reports the nine. u.s. senators are now backing a new package of unilateral sanctions aimed to increase pressure on iran for its nuclear program this means that the senate is just one vote away from the sixty needed to pass most legislation with the house of representatives which is already

showing strong support for economic pressure against tehran according to reports the legislation would blacklist several iranian industrial sectors and threaten banks and companies around the world with being banned from the u.s. market if they help you want to export any more oil now the provisions would only take a fact if tehran violates the six month interim deal or lets it expire without a comprehensive nuclear agreement the u.s. president barack obama has vowed to veto the bill if it makes it to congress but the problem is if the senate actually achieve sixty seven votes it could override a presidential veto the obama administration says additional economic restrictions could threaten a historic diplomatic opportunity with iran that's been cementing over the past few months let's remember in november world powers reached an interim deal with to iran over its nuclear program and negotiations on

a final agreement are still underway not only will more sanctions compromise the success that's already been made but the white house says it won't need to get lee meet up with potential war with tehran although more likely oddly enough at least sixteen democrats are supporting new sanctions and sadly if president obama's historic diplomatic progress with iran comes crumbling down it will be due in part to members of his own party reporting from new york marina port r.t. . thanatos back in the new sanctions bill came it will serve as an insurance policy in future nuclear talks but the policy director of the national iranian american council things this is nothing but a pretext for something much worse. they claim that this is not a violation of the interim deal it is a violation of the interim deal the deal says no new sanctions this imposes new sanctions there's a lot of word games being played but really it comes down to these senators don't

want to see a deal they don't want to see a diplomatic solution they view this as their way or the highway either. iran completely capitulates potentially you have a regime change or something like that or the united states is going to go to war and i think that probably president obama and the u.s. negotiators would rather be focused on the go sharing with iran to get a nuclear deal rather than having to negotiate with hardliners in the senate just to protect the nuclear deal that he's already achieved so he's in a very tough spot i think that's really undermines the position of the united states going into those negotiate negotiations because it conveys his message that the president is not in control of his own foreign policy. lines escalates in iraq as the government tries to push terrorists out of key cities coming up. blood shed some americans will forward to in the country say.

particularly when it's been collected without parents' consent and absolutely so it seems that over a million children in a single academic had this information collected so i think it's really necessary for schools to be transparent especially when it's related to very sensitive personal information what's your solution and obviously parental consent should be sought how can we make sure for example that this data is discarded once children leave school well the first stage in terms of ensuring that the right procedures are taking place was updating the law to say that parents absolutely have a legal guarantee that their consent should be sought and also children have to be incorporated into the process as well not always public education process to teach them the importance of questioning when icing on information but also to understand just what's happening within the system the school itself the figures show forty percent of secondary school pupils have been targeted and thirty one percent of schools didn't see parental consent so as they go back to school after the festive

a show. the city annually spends tens of thousands of your stack going the flying menace a species special operation in itself careful it's so dry it's very difficult to clean it off these birds are worse than vandals it's like they're angry with me personally. few. but the real mission takes place at sunset dressed in protective gear and armed with a loud hailer scientists storm the bird's favorite sleeping spots and this irritating noise is none other than a recording of other stories making a sound which warns of approaching danger the goal is to scare the feathered foes to less populated areas. paid to the idea from science books it works great if only for short periods of time. but even when they do manage to steer the birds usually they just move to other residential zones and always come
