5:00 pm
a with tonight establishes a new national security unit to combat domestic terrorism just as america marks the anniversary of the january stakes capitol hill, riots elsewhere as i tend to brussels for the next round of russia. security. talk to the westlake today, big talk. we look at the groundwork that's been laid during talks between russia and the us so far more problematic policy for the british prime minister league team. i was revealed a 100 down the street staff provide it to a boozy get together during the 1st and the heavy national lock there in 2020 and it's 20 years since the 1st detainees arrived in the notorious us guantanamo bay detention center. we speak with former inmates about the horrors they went through a black hole,
5:01 pm
niggley black hole. so they were all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. one can only is one of the biggest human right now in the 21st century. hey there, good morning. life mart internationals world usage. few moscow. welcome to our world news at one i am with may kevin know. so one year after the capitol hill riots, the u. s. department of justice is established a new domestic terrorism unit that to combat threats that they claim has doubled. in the past 2 years, i decided to establish that domestic terrorism unit. to augment our existing approach. this group dedicated attorney will focus on the domestic terrorism threat, helping to ensure that these cases are properly effectively coordinated across the department of justice and across the country. that was testimony we heard from mark olson, who is a deputy attorney general with the national security division of the us department
5:02 pm
of justice announcing the formation of this new entity that will deal with the issue of domestic terrorism. now this comes as part of the senate judiciary committees hearings about january 6th. that was the capital riots. and after that happened january 6, 2021. in the aftermath of that, we saw a number of republican representatives saying that the responsibility came squarely from trump, that trump quote, there's responsibility for when wednesdays attack on congress. and in the aftermath of that we see an investigation. now in the testimony we heard today, we heard department of justice officials talking about how white supremacists, anti government activists, and others are the primary domestic terrorism threat. and in some of their language, they even compare them to his lama stream. and here's what we heard from my perspective of spending a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and
5:03 pm
islamic extremists, extreme as of all stripes. this group shares many of the same characteristics. people who feel like their way of life is under attack. many of those people i would, i would guess last year had carried those exact beliefs and thoughts as they marched their way to break into the nation's capital. now, republicans described all of this as a with chance starting the stage were clamped down on the sand in the united states, serving a political agenda that will only further divide the country and increase division and reservation u. s. society. here's some of the republican reactions. unfortunately, one year later, the majority party seems no closer to answering the central question of how the capital was left so unprepared and what must be done to ensure it never happens again. instead, they are using it as a partisan political weapon to further divide our country. now, republicans have also raised concerns about why this single riot that happened on
5:04 pm
capitol hill is getting far more attention than the year of rioting that preceded it. and the protests around the country, almost every major city had rioting, property, destruction going on in the lead up to the 2020 election in the aftermath of the killing of george floyd. and such, there's a, there's a feeling that democrats are using january 6th to serve political ends and that these ongoing hearings and investigations and potentially this new unit being formed to investigate domestic terrorism, serves a political and for the democratic party. but we did hear this announcement of the department of justice has said that this formation of this new unit is taking place . so that's what we've heard from testimony in capitol hill, about the us department of justice and their ongoing efforts against domestic terrorism. with graham were laid out on monday between russia and the us security talks in geneva, ice know tend to brussels when it goes to asians with ne, to you to start a wednesday so far the us has promised written response to moscow security demands
5:05 pm
. they include no further east with expansion of nato or missiles position the russian territory. with more what's been said, so fi shala dubin ski. well, the talks may have been described as being business liken frying. when the russian us delegation met each other in geneva, however, it does seem that no information has been laid back to washington. i slightly different view seems to be taking place with the white house spokesperson suggesting that russia could be getting ready at any moment to spread this information about what was said in those meetings in war may have been agreed in terms of potential way forwards to angry reaction from the russian foreign ministry with the spokesperson saying that the u. s. authorities was simply out of touch. we are preparing yourself for the civility in likelihood. no one should be surprised. i should say, if russia spreads disinformation about commitments that have not been made,
5:06 pm
or if it goes even further and instigates something as a proof text for further destabilizing activity. and so we would continue to urge everyone not to fall for any attempts to pushed and disinformation out there. as for the numerous statements made by the white house press secretary legally, but it is sincerely regretable that the american leadership is represented by people who do not know the subject well enough. but it's telling them we advise you colleagues not to forget to use critical thinking and carefully double check with at least the most important stories, so as not to show your incompetence to the whole world. now, interesting with those comments that russia could be ready to spread this information. given that the russian delegation held an open press conference, there was a live stream of that press conference with the deputy foreign minister outlining what had happened in the talks and plenty of questions in regards to that from media from across the world. us by contrast,
5:07 pm
didn't hold an open press conference, so to speak. it was a press conference that was or do you own me, a telephone with a transcript late to being released. some might question who therefore has something to hide? but of course, what we do know from those discussions is that the u. s. is expected to give with a written confirmation response later on this week. in regards to some of the red lines that were outlined by russia, including potentially that old ukraine. now it was a session business like they said, however, it does appear that there is a lack of optimism as a result of those talks. now from both sides. we do not see any significant reason for optimism. the only thing that deserves positive assessment is the way the talks were conducted with openness, thoroughness, and directness. but this is not something that can bring satisfaction because what
5:08 pm
is important is the result, not the process. it was not what you would call a negotiation. we're not to a point where we're ready to set down texts and begin to go back and forth even before going into these talks that they were of course, new possible, thank sanctions being threatened by the united states. if it said russia invades ukraine, no rush is that time and time again. it does not intend to evade ukraine. and that was reiterated again at the press conference on monday night. however, the russian deputy for ministers saying what russia really wants right now is i in plaid guarantees that ukraine will not join the nato alliance. now will ever we are fed up with loose dog i. mrs. misinterpretations what happened that different forms of negotiations behind closed doors. we do not trust the other sites. so to see we need iron clad
5:09 pm
waterproof bulletproof legally binding guarantees not assurance is not safeguards guarantees. so no concrete breakthrough, particularly with the united states, saying they couldn't discuss issues of ukraine and it's possible membership of native without me to being present its allies being present at the negotiating tables. and that is the stage that we are now at with new round of discussions to take place on wednesday between nato and the russian delegation, where ukraine of course will be a large part of those discussions we've also heard from the nato secretary general, who is pads lowered the ball when it comes to talks, suggesting that a good outcome would be that they would be more talks in the future rather than any concrete action. however, yet still to make has said that when he was prime minister of norway,
5:10 pm
he had many discussions with russia. and he had found that the russians were open to negotiations. so perhaps there is a ray of lights at the end of the tunnel. yet more party pressure for the british prime minister paras johnson. but once again, it's social as well as political, a leaked email as well. another lockdown gathering involving the leader and his wife. it's claimed a 100 downing street style for voting for boozy. get together at the height of the kobe long times, there in 2020 hi, all. after what has been an incredibly busy period, it would be nice to make the most lovely weather can have some socially distance drinks and the number 10 garden this evening. please join us from 6 p. m, and bring your own boose. well, it seems as though all the prime minister was during, during this pandemic is party. and while everybody was simply in a lockdown, it seems as though the government was acting as if there was a cause for celebration. in fact, the prime minister is chief 8,
5:11 pm
simply sent out this message saying that the lovely weather in may of 2020 was ample enough reason to host a party. and so invited around a 100 people to a, bring your own booth, downing street garden party. now it's alleged that around 40 people attended this party, including boris johnson. the only problem is at the time the rules clearly stated, even reiterated just an hour before that invitation went out. but you can only me talk with one other person from another household and of course, social distance 2 meters apart. so it's probably not much of a surprise for me to tell you this huge amount of opposition to it, including calls for the prime minister to resign. people will find it utterly outrageous that the most powerful people in the tory government would be using up at number 10 downing street proving yet again that it's one rule for them. and another for the rest of us. if the prime minister had
5:12 pm
a shred of integrity or an ounce of shame, he would have resigned many months ago. boris johnson has consistently shown that he has no regard for the rules he puts in place for the rest of us. at the time, everyone would have known that going to a party was wrong. so how can those run the country of filters was ok? now, number 10 are yet to comment, but far as children has previously and repeatedly said, that all guidelines have been followed. of course, the metropolitan police and now weighing and considering investigating the now in communication with the cabinet office. but just to give you a bit of an idea of what was happening at the time here in london on may the 25th, that 5 days off of the social party, 10 days off of that one. and she alleged why re florence children said this, the only reason we've been able to make such progress is because the country has observed the social distancing rules. feel free to speak to people yourself if you feel they are not observing the rules and the police will step in if necessary. so
5:13 pm
it comes as no surprise then it's no wonder that even tories are now losing trust in the government. according to the latest shocking pole, more than a 3rd of tories think that boris johnson should quit. and almost $4.10 think he is doing a bad job, of course, considering that is now being dozens of party revelations and allegations floating around during the locked down period. it sounds as though the government was almost on the booth cruise, but it seems as though bar johnson may not go down with his ship. well, you can radio host john gone, says the saga reflects the sorry, state of british politics at the moment. morris johnson has absolutely disgusted me . it is completely and utterly wrong when we, the people were following all the advice to the letter. and some people were getting fine when they wrote, how did he and other members of the government, if they were there, break their own rules and no man or woman is above the law,
5:14 pm
and the law should take precedence here and they should investigate. it's not good enough that that's going to report in weeks and weeks you need to report. now what this story illustrates, it's just how poor our mainstream politicians are today. they're all pretty useless and you couldn't put a cigarette paper between them. we've been let down in our country by the political class, the professional political class. they all basically discussed me is 3 is the day since the 1st prisoners were taken. the notorious u. s. prison camp at guantanamo bay. we've been hearing about what they went through. $4020.00 more as a bag was held over 3 years without ever being charged with any crime. unfortunately, on this anniversary 20 years, there are people i spoke to young boys. one no longer young that 1819 years old.
5:15 pm
who never met at all because they probably beheld without child or travel channel. listening to me. as i saw 2 people, i saw one prison with his hands on his head to the top of the cage being repeated, be punched, and keep them to the children. the americans accepted that this was a homicide. i also was subject to the sounds of a woman screaming in the next cell that i was led to believe was my wife, while interrogating some way pictures of my children in front of me and threatened to send me to egypt and the syria. if i didn't cooperate so, so they're all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. and i say i was on the get the 3 is there a few people been up to literally 20 years without charge across well, and you report by human rights watch details. the tragic extend to the systematic abuse of the prison come but assess is the torture illegal detention of hundreds of muslims at guantanamo, and cause upon president joe biden,
5:16 pm
5:17 pm
we also spoke 2 more former guantanamo bay detainees, and like many others, both of them were never charged with a crime, is what they had to say to us. we think of one's animal, we try not to, but it does come up. of course it's continuous is something that continues with us throughout our life is something that is a grained inside our hearts and spirits. and we have to think about it all the time is something that we cannot change. and sometimes one can tell them like now was in the news be think about those 2 are still insoluble. tell them i was there for 5 years. throughout the 5 years there was continuous thought. so there was no rules,
5:18 pm
no god, no laws, nothing. the god did what they like and the american system did what they want something else. so sometimes you are humiliated sexually, sometimes you're beaten, sometimes or anything that they thought will get information out of the prisoners and they were willing to commit those folks. that's why we're kept in gonna tell them when tell them or is a black hole, legal black hole, what is going on? you know, what time is a place that retake garage, you know, injustice. one time when i was a simple torture, injustice, lawlessness, abuse of power in different dishes, one can only is one of the biggest human right by the 21st century. no law lives there. no human rights, no. any kind of rules or basic right for, for humans. so gonna tell me the existence is a torture is injustice as it is now, it's 20 years and it won't turn to be a political game or a, you know, what?
5:19 pm
because what want to keep it open because that gives you some kind of publicity or in some time, more books. sadly. what is that humanity and they know what else is wrong? they don't want to know shouldn't exist in the 1st place. human rights lawyer club stafford smith represent similar it made soup and held in the facility and says the process of obtaining justice for the prisoners is long and convoluted. something that i, as an american lawyer very ashamed on that we in the us have held people indefinitely without trial now for 20 years. in some cases there's no excuse for that. it's absolutely wrong. it's very, very difficult to explain why it takes a long time and even with a very small number of prisoners. sure, they want true military condition each time we've come to the supreme court has been when the us government to assess it, it's right term to keep prisoners without proper trials. and each time they've lost
5:20 pm
. and you would think that here we are 20 as on, surely they've now narrowed down the people since 780 they originally said were the worst terrorists in the world. i think now that get it right, but they haven't. and indeed, one of my clients, i still represent 6 people. and one of my clients is someone who is mistaken for a true terrorist who has torch and for 540 days. and then was taken to guantanamo bay while the us captured the real terrorists and set him free. so it all nodded. as r t as well, that continues with me. kevin and medical facilities are overwhelmed and facing severe staffing shortages is america, reaches the world record. now, daily registered kobe infections, i'll tell you more because stick around off to the breaking news. the
5:21 pm
5:22 pm
a lot of parties out there. ah ah, again, so disturbing landmark for america? no. it broke the world record for daily registered code infections on monday, with more than 1300000 cases. according to reports, the day also saw the highest number of hospitalizations with many medical facilities overwhelmed and facing severe staffing shortages. health authorities of even now allowed medic infected with covey to stay on at work. if they have mild symptoms, they will be required to wear extra protective masks and should be assigned to only treat coven. patience is the fear. it's still not quite clear. i was going to put
5:23 pm
into action we don't have any information on whether hospitals will adopt this approach or not. but what we do know is that hospitals are expecting many more patients in the coming days than they're going to be able to care for with the current resources. i spoke to david green, the president of the service employees international union, who said to, along the modeling, fight, hello, this a continuous can could worse. and the crisis a, you know, it's a really scary, dangerous time because you know, our job, our 1st job is to protect the people we serve the patients and these hospitals. and by forcing our nurses and health care workers to tap to come in, if there cove it positive, it puts these patients at risk. so we're, we're asking in our local elected officials here and in our community groups and anybody that will listen to you. we want to reversal this policy and we, we really believe that it's health and safety crisis if they force our nurses to have to come to work while they're covered. expose, we, we thought it could be,
5:24 pm
it can make a really difficult crisis, even more difficult. none the less, amid the covey chaos in the us present, joe biden is continuing to praise his team's policies during the pandemic. today, america is the only leading economy in the world where the economy as a whole, is stronger than before the pandemic. no wonder and one lady in economic, se me analyst describe what we've accomplished in 2021 is the strongest 1st year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years. however, a recent poll suggest is 68 percent of american c. the economy is the biggest concern in these days. well just said he, 7 percent of the viruses, the top 5 priority, a merger major shifted an opinion for just a year ago. well, the following on with news about cove it and how it's affecting people. american retailer, wal mart has have the paid leave for work. is that test positive for cove? it almost isolate you. company policy says they'll now get just one week off. we
5:25 pm
heard from walmart employees as the moves putting people's lives at risk. i don't want to pay sickly for employees who aren't going to be at work. they'd rather us come to work sick, spread the virus to other people, get other people sick. have them have to go on our way even all that. some are afraid, you know, getting a virus, they get the virus. what are they going to do if they're still sick after 5 days? i mean, i feel the same way. i can't coming to work when i'm so have coven spread it everywhere? they really don't care, so i put all, all our lives in danger even more than before as just not worse. i'm not going to die for walmart. and i don't think anybody else wants to dr. wal mart either. well, will marks new policies follow up dated recommendations from the us center for disease control and prevention that allow people to isolate for 5 days after cove 19 infection, that instead of 10 will mark spokesperson chipped in and said, they don't switch, use the number of other policies to help employees during the crisis, including working from home where possible until the end of january surgeon cove
