and representative has the us to answer for the abuse in the states it on inmates. so then it's obvious. guantanamo bay prism come according to prisoners, are regularly subjected to torture while repeats and promises to close the facility of not be met. torture was a betrayal of the rights of the victims of the $911.00 attacks. the us government must urgency, provide judicial resolution apology, and guarantees of non repetition. i still have serious concerns about the continued detention of now 30 men at still there. and the persistent arbitrariness that provides their day to day existence. i observed that after 2 decades of custody, the suffering of those detained is profound. and it's ongoing. every single detainee i met with lives with the unrelenting harms that follow from systematic practices of rendition, torture and arbitrary defense in the us. government must ensure accountability for

all violations of international law, both for victims of its counter terrorism practices present and former detainees and victims. of terrorism, while the guantanamo prison in cuba was opened under the bush administration back in 2002 as pots of the war on cetera. now, throughout these 2 decades, the been repeats of the claims of torture and human rights violations in the

well, throughout the years, washington has repeatedly promised to close the prison that decides came in february from the bye, didn't administration, but it was bar cabal. now he made the strongest assurances as it comes to my eyes, and that was many years ago. i have said repeatedly that i intend to close guantanamo and i will follow through on that. when i was elected in 2008, i said we need to close one town. and i continue to believe that we've had a close one

of the process whereby wanted to know will be closed no later than one year from now to day on the international day in support of the victims of torture. i reaffirmed the united states a position to all forms of things to main treatment, and our commitment to eliminating torture and the system tortures of virus as a hill. and then they are quits for justice. by one of the former president of the comp sold his story of life and then a toria center. the the, i did go 1st to crimes. i didn't because of thoughts. i was i was beaten to they broke my and i was not given food for a very long periods of time. i was situated, assaulted on multiple occasions,

saved the provision of the for 70 days, mostly sort of the most like a lie, but still the, the have nots included that it was the use of the i tease with in that program that allowed us to obtain useful information from the chinese subjected to the i know i didn't do any i said i'm not going to high that's causing me a lot of pain and suffering the leaving country that the springs a little a little bit silly. well, that was the last 27 languages and that seems, excuse me,

i'm saying this is, was a handful of a lot with the help of my lawyers. my support is my family and i was so happy and it was adopted to a movie outside of my family, my brother, they did their last go on terror as life goes on. it was 921922 on 2 different cases for a brief period of time that i want to have guns, saudi arabia, gulf countries including gentlemen, knew it. i suppose it never gotten. used to watch movies, watch noise document that is about the amount of stuff. then i decided to join them . i did not know what the bible was. i had no clue. so when i get to have guns done to training camp work console while tied, that's the 1st time i was very young and i was really misinformed. this was

a very big propaganda machine. the advisor nested already and it's west of allies and allies. so they, they gave me the wrong picture. i thought it was a very good cause to free people and to establish it for the country. at least i didn't even know isn't what the city comes. to be honest the, the people were fighting today. we were supporting in the fight against the soviet it seems to us february of $92.00. the ideas of soccer took over kabul and i found myself in the middle of a civil war that i did not want to do. that's why i went back to my studies with them residing, including

a 98 and the 92 to 399. i received a phone call from my cousin and that he was living with some beloved and use the phone number. and then i was that was the phone number was just a family called he needed help for his father. his father is like my father and i did in the city to have his father because he was sick and he needs money. the . i understand the most of the america is a demo because of when it comes to muslims, people of color after 911. they did not have to divide a fascist solution because they said, if you are american, we do

a little more. if you are not the american you does a lot that these fascism, the former us intelligence officer on host of the, with the boz junkie the actor. what he believes that despite the unofficial speaking of very little brought to the change. and it's an important international issues the united states is not in the mainstream of civilized countries on, on these issues of, of torture and rendition and secret prisons and, and keeping people without charging them with a crime or without allowing them to, to face their peers. inner port a court room. so it's, it's good that the special rapid tour spoke up the previous special wrapper tour.

noon smells are also spoke up and also issued reports. but the shame of it. ready is that um that, uh, i think the united states is going to just ignore it. there's no way to hold the united, the united states kind of what the sad truth of the matter is that the, the position of you in special rep, a tour for, for torture does not have any teeth associated with it. there's no enforcement authority. so he or she can give speeches and an issue press releases and write reports, but there's no way to compel the united states uh, to uh, to follow the law. what it says is that some countries are held to a certain legal standard, and others are not any other country would be held to a tougher standard a now to the muslim festival,

all the sacrifice has to be much around the world more about 2000000 monthly pilgrims from a 160 countries have to send it on back to take part in the hodge live pictures of which you can currently see on your screens with thousands of devout muslims. that taken part in the event, i'm supposed to be months in russia, where around 10 percent of the population is mostly in prison by the mid threes, and congratulating those in the country who is celebrating the holiday season. mind that you shall repulse now from the moscow cathedral, andre it on or as it is known in russia or a. the a chart as it is known in the middle east is an animal muslim holiday which translates to the feast of the sacrifice, the sacrifice, be lam, go, or she, according to assignment teachings. now, it really doesn't come as a surprise that it is a widely celebrated holiday in ross shock, as it is the 2nd largest religion in the country. and it is an official holiday

and a pre dominant leave. most slim republics inside the russian federation, including the republic of the church and yeah, the republic of thought are signed, the republic of things will shed to and even of all there is no right now. we are standing right in front moscow's cats, a drawl, moss, which is the biggest most capable of europe. and it was the only function in most in, during the soviet times. now it was renovated in 2015, and it includes 20 times the size that it now accommodates over 10000 people. and what do people celebrate today? what do they do? you may as well, they wake up very early on in the morning. come to mazda their local mazda as we are right now, spending, they pray, and then after that, they go to their fees, they go visit families, friends, celebrate the joyful, and as most slims around the world do,

russian most plans celebrate this holiday for 4 days, as well, with almost 1400000000 people, india is among the most populated countries on the planet. and also one of the most diverse but debate that is raging over the idea of a uniform civil code, which would be a common sense of personal laws for old religions and the prime minister, his family behind the booth. but his accuse the opposition of inciting minority communities against it as on season. brandon, sean explains, and if i'm interested in arranging more the while addressing his thoughts, he woke as workers of the par page. and if i fall, he in the full bone state and loves you for these basic, he spoke about the need, the uniforms civil code or the u. c. c. he also went on to say that how it's being used by the opposition to mislead or to provoke them was when community in india. now in the moody governments, in the or 9 years,

it has spoken to boston need over uniformed civil court time. and again, in fact, in 2019, the more the government had fast the bill that's coming to lies. triple the last multiples a lot is basically a practice on the chevy. yellow, would you give the body to woodland men to instantly divorce their wives by occupying the wars a lock which means the wars 3 times a. so basically mr. moore the there while addressing his bossy workers. seeing those in support. practices like triple for last are doing great injustice to muslim daughters in the country today. people are being instigated in the name of u. c. c. how can the country be run on to laws? the constitution also talks of equal rights to bring cold has also off to implement u. c. c. these opposition, people are playing, vote, bank politics. so what is you will see see the uniform civil code basically more the government's object to one nation. one is all,

this is all the case and in the right and all laws are based on calls to call to a religion geography. it's the uniform civil code is implemented. that means abortion of force. and the laws which are usually based on 6 sense could chose, for example, they seem to force law the muslim a part of the law. and often these laws can be discriminatory and unfair use the same no is applied to the country. it would be seen for every 3 years, respect to all that culture, they set their religion. uh so the entire country then will be good warmed by long long. but now the critics of the opposite chanel scenes of this move is again secularism. and that it is targeted towards indian woodlands, uniform civil code should be 1st introduced in the hindu religion. every person including scheduled casts and tribes should be allowed to perform foods in any

temple in the country. we don't want you see, see only because the constitution has given protection to every religion within model dimension. yeah. that many long countries also have reformed force the laws for example, egypt. jordan, the key for the question is, is it's time for the country to introduce a uniform civil code which combines or united india on the one law is a time to let go of laws several calls before india boarding defendant. and finally, part has done, has some in the us embassies, deputy chief of mission of controversial statements about fighting terrorism in the country is not about was on goods over the support the commons gave to neighboring india. pakistan's concerns and disappointment. unwarranted one sided and misleading references to it in the joint statements were convey to the us side. it was stressed that the united states should refrain from

issuing statements that may be construed as an encouragement of india is baseless and politically motivated, narrative against pakistan. while the joint statements from the us presidents on the indian pm co don't talk is done to ensure his surgery isn't to use any type of activities. the us state department echoed the sentiment just a few days later and even gave it back kind of complements like this done, which phrase the answer f. as the still said there was most to be done. we remain committed to working with pakistan to address the shared threat posed by terrace groups throughout the region. we do recognize that pakistan has taken some important steps to counter terrace groups in line with the completion of its financial at action task force action plans at the same time. however, we have also been consistent on the importance of pakistan continuing to take steps to permanently dismantle all terrace groups, including loc sir a. tell you, but chase and mohammed and their various front organizations of the south asians to to dig stability in suits. and the results on which he outlined washington's own

history of dealing with terrorism in other countries that we would have appreciated this comment or had it not being the fact that the united states actually left just kind of spun with eyes left on this done with one trillion dollars at the us defense budget thing spent over there and, and then try region in the mess. and as you are there russia, if i could sun china, i've kind of sun and even iran, and it's given the rest of the region to suffering not to leave the future influx, we suffering through film and drug trafficking, the stuff in with the kind of that some of the biggest drug problems, and most importantly be, or even not short, it's either the cells uh, you know, has actually less of kind of son. so the bigger question is, is that if you are fighting against terrorism and that is no big country after i've got a son just given so many lives, a flip, our fight against that hasn't been focused on some details and focus on these have lost their lives the, the net amount of damage. sure country has run into billions of dollars. it's not trillions. and then they have the audacity to tell us that we should do more. i

think this would have been a practical and wise had been most left of kind of stunning a mess and had be all much depth with the us intervention. msm aware tourism has been a natural outcome from the places where they have a form for me to tell you something. i hope your week's going well so far. that's all for me. pizza, scott, but i'll be pressing the button on 2 more out. mom. it will be here at the top of the hour that you see all the today's top stories and into the evening this wednesday thanks very much for watching the the

the the, [000:00:00;00] the

hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered on peter lavelle. wagner, a board in crew will be discussed, debated and probably mythologized for years that comes. but has this bizarre and self defeating affair really changed anything. the fighting continues and ukraine and ukrainians are dying in large numbers, and importantly, russia is winning the cross talking after the board of 2, i'm joined by my guess, scott ritter in del mar is a former intelligence officer in united nations weapons inspector in nashville. we have steve gill, he is an attorney and political commentator and, and list when we cross through alexander guerrero. he is an international law analyst part gentleman crosstalk rules and the fact that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, god, let me go to you. um, you know, we have the after glow right now. i know you were glued to it like the rest of us. what are your initial thoughts after this very bizarre weekend?

well, my initial thoughts are that um the entire world's going to be re imagining wagner . now that the mythology has been stripped away and we're compelled to look at the, the reality of, of the organization, the people who ran the organization, what actually the organization did. and then what it cost russia to, to they have a fogged or a group of let's remember that wagner was a business. i write a report is released statistics about just how successful a business wagner was. um, you know, almost uh, almost 200000000000 roubles poured into wagner last year. and i think we're, we, we, we know some insight into why a promotion of did what he did. it wasn't about patriotism. it wasn't about, you know, demanding that the, it's showing doing garage, some of would do. the right thing is about money,

plain and simple. he was desperate detain. the contract has made him so much money in cost, russia so many lives. um i, i think that, uh, you know, history will show that the wagner experience was a, was a bad experience for russia. this, this was, it was irresponsible to create a private army, understand why they did it. but just to stay in that private army. and it led to this most embarrassing nova debacles, which of course, was the partner attempted to. yeah. and, and i agree with it. and then you know, it was also a lot about ego in about a public presence. and we saw the, the going uh, the refute going on of it. he had with the, the authorities, which he, himself is not really a trained military man. so the public here i can tell you from my perspective is very happy. this affair is over the way attended. it's a mixed bag, but there was

a political resolution. i would have preferred also a legal one, but i couldn't live with the outcome. steve, let me go to nashville with uh, if we're thoughts on this here because all during the, the events of the weekend. well, the thing would be accomplished continued in in ukraine. ukrainians are dying from the west. really didn't know what to make a bit except for if it's bad for proven, it's good for us, which again, it's kind of a juvenile interpretation of everything. and then when i talk about how it would this whole affair was talked about in western media. so your thoughts vive, go ahead. yeah, i think it continues to be something that is not really completely resolved because the stories now are changing after this. i suppose it negotiated settlement for question is now claiming that it was, was never an attempt to go to mazda on the, terribly that this is just a protest march. when you, when you take over a military operation, as they did with armed forces and chains and other military argument, that's not friendly project march. and now you've got

a new president clinton who earlier the message was over not going to prosecute any of these folks. now president put in is making it clear that he intends to prosecute both the leaders, although not the, the armed forces beneath the leader. so. so this is, this is not over yet, and start to talk, you know, better about what happened militarily in your brain is a, as a moved out in a down moves apparently, to, is it about a 120 miles? yeah, but, but the, the russians were still sitting in the faces posture or do you have an american generals on a fox and other locations urging you, praying just charge to put all the work on which makes sense. it is the trap from the beginning. does it dispute more than brains as they thought they had their opening, and the russians are sitting there just, you know, continuing to white. so now started talking about those tactics, but i think we don't know the aftermath of the west is as for collections,

does anybody know probably as much as people advice as well where this goes next. yeah, alex i, i think we, we, we're, um, basically finished with this right now. i mean, scott's absolutely right. it was a huge business enterprise, the garage and saw his empire being diminished dramatically. and his is placing in the public. i mean, what most russians know about progression is on telegram channels. okay, that's where he was king and he was bedded a lot. ok. and now that there's been a major reversal here, but like i said, i wasn't putting a bow on it here is that there's an enormous amount of relief and a lot of people are very happy to see this man move on. okay. and keeping the piece at the same time, your thoughts, alexander, leasing russia. you seem like this. but in the west here, we had the totally different perspective. because as far as i know, and according to the coverage made by the western media, we must serialize in sports that the west continues to make the mistake or clue can

get through us. yeah. through western eyes, believing that speaks for itself. we work with the same dynamic sense to see the cities, and that's why we want to trace versus using the website as a country. and police will cease to read these mark by successive but fail come. who's the business loving me, putting things aboard the west actually has come to get dressed yet as a country board and by a solid in symbol literacy. however, last week and lots of ways the things to include the group immediately led to comparing the rush. it all 5053 we the russia or the 1988 and 99. that was already seen as a memory from the law. in these tests to earn the discussion in the western media manual who are actually a very to a true a sounding board. so for some bull additions to focus on the view that the rest of has proved to be the more political stable than it was believed. and the delivery ends up being as safe as believe to the point where they're at least was

a personality like you're going to be more than likely to decide russian government lead saelens u. s. episodes or there's much of space. and from here, the political situation in russia began to be discussed with the service. and so far as an eventual political interest in russia, and wouldn't be dangerous for the west because of russia. if he's a states that is nothing more, nothing less than the breakers. think the power so the everyone now is still discussing what extent was this stage and get this thing done? what kind of the things effect in case it was not stage, it would have for the russian politics in the future. and that remind everyone that from a to to may, that you're gonna be losing the game, the fees, most popular politician interrupt shit. well he, all i like for me to be pushed back there. he's not a politician, that's the problem. he acted like one. okay. and he was lucky, but anyways,

anyways, i'm elected here scott, that's a, it's a very interesting point because as much as the, the western media and political lead stared this on. no state institution, no regular soldiers, nothing. there was a uniformly rejection of this. okay? and i think they'd let them here put in did the right thing. it was the best of the worst possible outcomes. that's the way i kind of look at it. scott. so again, that we have to re imagine wagner. we have to strip away the mythology law of which was largely created and promoted by upper goshen himself via telegram and uh, it's cetera. um, you know, production in his march to, to moscow said i'm providing the russians with a case example of how it should have been done in key of, of no, for goes in the what, what, what people don't realize right now is that this was not provision negotiating an

end to his to his damn bit up, he was told by lucas jacob, that if he didn't back down all the wagner guys would die. that day. that day. that day. day that the houses, there were thousands of russians. special forces deployed in the civil region, lead elements of wagner had made contact with them and reported back that they were about to be overwhelmed. understand what you're marching on the road was an extended call. there's a thing called a basic load basic about load. oh, that's what you carry on you. you might have a couple of re supplies in your truck. that's it. you're getting a firefight with a regular r before she will run out of ammunition and die. and remember, wagner was scattered all along the road. they weren't going to fight, they were going to die. meanwhile, and most of them done $10000.00 children, osmond special forces and surrounded most of the single have been given to provision that they were coming in that night to kill him and all his wagner

soldiers. this would have been a massacre. it was right to avoid it, but this wasn't production doing anything nice. you know that it criticize a show, a good in garage you month. let me point out that the success of the russian military is enjoying today on the battlefield. is because of decisions made by showing the us about the defense industry, production, joy, do the deployment of russian forces. your last them up, the victory there. enjoy that. what's it for goes, you know, for, it's just reflect on the battle of bus moved up 250000 burger soldiers engaged. 30000 were convicts. we suffered 60 percent casualties, including 20 percent. the 20000 said 20000 dead version that model, if applied across the entire got dead zone 300000 russian dead. thank god rush. it didn't embrace the wagner model, steve, the way, the way i look at it and you know,

and things have come down. obviously it was, he was making progression was making
