it was not like a pre, or baghdad or, or, or the military security that you saw in the, in guantanamo bay. and again, i've been in places where they are essentially occupied territories like in interact with their soldiers on every corner in moscow, in, in, in these areas of your brain, you did not see a military presence. now they may be on the front lines where they are still engaged in combat. but in these areas where i was, you're not seeing a big military presence that's being oppressive or repressing the people. and more importantly, you're not seeing us in western media there to see what's there to be saying do share which there to be heard. they don't care to report the truth in these areas. and that's been the case from the, from the outset of this, uh, this conflict. you get the propaganda that is issued to the western media by you praying that they just report whether it's the ghost of g ever or these are the stories. and you're not having anybody on the other side reporting what's going on to the people who are suffering in, in don bass, the in the husband and in the don't

and i know this is a watch this program in guantanamo in the tv room apparently. but i guess people should, i don't know if you have any very quick message to the people in good time and we will be watching this in the us present can because your latest one is about the process as well. the only point i made is that the, the constitution in united states is very clear on something called due process. and if you're in a jail in america, you don't have to be a citizen, they get due process and you don't have to have been captured somewhere outside of america or american sovereign territory. due process is in the constitution and none of the courts edge edge indicated the very that's been legal issues. go to war . in the course of done something and forcing them very back in the bush cheney days and forcing the white house to a these to the government to give some rights to them. but none of the no court has ever said the one thing that nobody wants it, which is the prisoners have absolutely right to due process. the way the court, there was a case decided a couple w

and felicia, you also went to a detention facility at guantanamo bay. right? before the courts were opening up and what was that like comparison, you know, there was a lot more military presence in, in those experiences. and then i had in, in moscow and certainly even going into the dumbass regions on ask and, and some of the other areas, you know, there's some of the ukrainian propaganda. there's claiming that people are being forced to go about the soldiers or driving them to the polling places. i think it'd be further from the truth, but again, there were soldiers, one or 2 at each polling place, guarding and protecting the people who were coming to exercise their right to vote . there were teachers that were voting, there were city officials who were coming and boating, they were just regular citizens. people who work in that one of the areas in the coal mines a lot of it was very agricultural, one of the areas that we went into, you drove miles and miles and miles through sunflower, seed fields with both sides of the road, being miles and miles of sunflow

there has been still no trial for the five defendants who are being held in guantanamo. >> thank youwant to say, my heart goes out to all the other families who are in the same position i am. you know, your question is a really important one because the fact is, 9/11 family members have been failed by four successive administrations, from bush to obama to trump to biden. we have not been able to carry out a trial. and i personally have invested a lot of energy in watching not what people may imagine is a trial but watching the military commissions at guantanamo. -- with no date for a trial to actually begin anywhere in sight. i believe we have to call an end to it. and take guilty pleas from the defendants and learn what we can from them in stipulations of fact about what they did. it's less than i ever would have expected from my country. but it's all i think we can get at this moment. >> i mean, i can tell it's a hard position for you. i mean, this is something that a lot of the families -- you know, some want to see it go to trial. they want to see death penalties, potentially. bu

a militaryjudge at guantanamo bay has ruled that one of the five defendants charged over the 9—11 attacksa medical panel, which concluded that ramzi bin al—shibh was too psychologically damaged to defend himself. the medical board said mr al—shibh had become delusional and psychotic and was unable to understand the nature of the proceedings. his lawyer says he was tortured while in cia custody. with more on this, bbc security correspondent gordon corera. and also the allegation is it has left him traumatised. those were the arguments from his defence team. this leads to another delay problem with proceedings. it is specifically to do with the death penalty being on the table. to do with the death penalty being on the table-— to do with the death penalty being on the table. , , , ., on the table. these proceedings have obviously changed _ on the table. these proceedings have obviously changed over _ on the table. these proceedings have obviously changed over the _ on the table. these proceedings have obviously changed over the years. - obviously changed over the years. where does this leav

military prosecutors had offered the men held at guantanamo bay, including alleged nine divided by 11 mastermind khalid sheikh mohammed, a deal that would have spared them solitary confinement and provided medical treatment for alleged abuse while in cia custody. but biden saying no. a spokesperson saying the president does not believe that the agreement would be appropriate in the circumstances. the terms of the agreement called for the detainees to plead guilty in exchange for being spared the death penalty. nearly 3000 people died in the attacks. the single worst assault on the us since pearl harbor. before biden rejected the terms families of nine divided by 11 victims expressed outrage over the possible plea deal. >> it feels like a betrayal. it feels like the government is choosing to protect the master mind, the perpetrators, the financiers. >> now, many welcoming biden's decision. a man who lost his father on nine divided by 11 saying, we look forward to the day that we can praise our government for finally giving us justice and holding all parties involved in the attacks acco

then you'll have those who were held in guantanamo, but one time a little bit. who are going to ask for the same thing? you have those who were part of the, it's been dition program programs whereby prisoners were flown to a 3rd country with someone from the c i a with them on military praise to be tortured in that 3rd country to get confessions out of them. so i think once you start this compensation, you probably will have hundreds of people behind that asking for the same thing. and probably that's why do you as is reluctant about opening that door. okay, hold on. i don't need it for us in don't think front is withdrawing us and best of the 2 is yet i'm ending old minutes free cooperation of to weeks of tension with benjamin to president emmanuel my call says the withdrawal will be completed by the end of the year the ministry which these power back in july has welcome to move cooling at a step to ed 70. because hack has moved from deca in france will no longer be held hostage by purchase. those other words from the french president emanuel mccall who has rec

so what was happening in guantanamo was something they didn't want to know. what was happening on the street choose what they called an increase in insurgency, where it says that the rock is looked at it as resistance was also on the increase . and the bush administration was in a very difficult position. so they wanted to get information from these prisoners, even though many didn't have that information. how do i can understand a certain extent, what you're saying 20 years ago. it was a very sensitive time for the bush administration, but it has been now so many years since that happened. why has they not been any accountability since then why the victims still struggling to get justice? i think because i believe is probably not an isolated case. mean, we've heard the testimonies of people who were held, for example in guantanamo who came up with similar stories. i mean version of it, but the core of it, which is the utter humiliation of a person was, is still there. you probably have similar stories in bad gram. i mean, bagley, i mean, i've gotten this don

i was working at -- as a special envoy for the closure of guantanamo in 2014, and i was reading the decisionsn military detention, including the notorious and shameful korematsu case. i noticed that the first of the shameful anti-japanese decisions , which was about a curfew targeted at japanese-american citizens, was decided exactly one week from -- one week before one of the greatest civil liberties decisions in the courts history, west virginia for the -- board of education versus burnett, where justice rep. jackson: gave an opinion that struck down the compulsory flag statute that the jehovah's witnesses had objected to. i noticed that within seven days the supreme court had issued one of the worst civil liberties decisions in history and one of the greatest civil liberties decisions in its history. and, so that puzzled and interested me, and i think that we are very interested in reading about the supreme court during world war ii. i discovered that there is not much written on that as a subject. there is a tremendous amount written about fdr's battles with the supreme court, in the 1930

politics never get this kind of screws. western journalists don't raise issues like the or rack or guantanamo, but you don't have to be a fan of m b as to wonder why. as far as the international media are concerned, the saudis seemed to be, you know, legal to their own. the investments was so huge that i think the saudi leak was actually the 2nd largest investor within the transfer market. so there was some anxiety about that. some sort of call it oriented lism or sort of cultural in east with that. but you have to understand that this is also due to the fact that this is a state that is investing, and especially when study or village to be doing this for a number of years to come. i think everyone just realizes that this is something that they're going to have to deal with. there is a very specific double standard that is applied to the middle east. it's the most controversial world copeland history. if you look at the world come last year, there was a level of the criticisms, and so that wasn't aimed at russia or china when it goes to the olympics and facing . unquestionably, both of those
