sixty six of them colonel morris davis he's a former chief prosecutor for the terrorism trials at guantanamo bay he told me earlier that the money has been spent in vain. well guantanamo has been nothing but a black eye for the us i mean if you recall back in two thousand and one when the decision was made to to use guantanamo's a detention facility it was selected because there were people that thought it was outside the reach of the law and it would be the perfect law free zone to exploit people for intelligence it was supposed to be a temporary facility in two thousand and six when i was there we had a proposal to build a complex for about one hundred twelve million dollars that we intended to use for five years so until two thousand and eleven we thought everything would be finished and it would be closed and here we are in two thousand and thirteen it just keeps going on and on so it's just been a you know an embarrassment to the country it's drained our credibility is wasted our money and it's time for it to close its taken out now the timeline of the guantanamo standoff according to him m

earlier today president obama said that he wants to close down guantanamo bay promise to do this back in two thousand and eight but the prisoner remains open because republicans blocked him in congress will he be able to overcome republican fear and shutter one of the most shameful symbols of america's turned to the dark side during the so-called war on terror i'll ask our panelists and the night's big picture politics panel in just a mall also a well we've known for years the fossil fuels are killing our planet our leaders in washington have sat back and watched the world current now one new mexico county has taken matters into its own hands and banned oil extraction within its borders this is the future of the fight against global warming and believe it or not the united states could learn a thing or two about social justice from bangladesh i'll tell you why i feel the. need to know this at a surprise press conference earlier this morning president obama told reporters that he wants to close the guantanamo bay detention center think it is critical for us to understand the guantanamo

hillary clinton can't convince the president to do more than who can for a closer look at the guantanamo bay detention facility and the actions of both the president and congress can take i was joined earlier by human rights lawyer david remes well i have compassion for every single man at guantanamo we've been fighting the legal fight for nine years and the courts haven't been responsive that's the forum where the government has succeeded unfortunately the courts have pulled out but right now we're in a situation where the detainees have exercised the only power that they have after all others. haven't you said been exhausted and that is to engage in a hunger strike at the logic of a hunger strike is death. and some of the hunger strike in the force feeding themselves many call that force feeding torture so let's talk about the steps that congress could take to fix the situation at guantanamo bay and then we'll talk about some of the steps that president obama himself can take to fix the situation let's start with congress nothing would satisfy us more than having congress act here they wou

the negative attention of the world is going to be focused on guantanamo bay and the shame that it has brought upon the united states of america the crimes that have been you can only wonder what they are still being created in guantanamo bay by the united states will not go away and the. attention of the world to negative attention is focused on these crimes well it is grilled prison officials detainees lawyers activists and even representatives to get a full account of what's going on at guantanamo bay i can for the developments at r.t. dot com. the world renowned learn ski theatre in st petersburg has a rich musical legacy stretching back centuries and now it's branching out by launching a brand new second venue risky to opens on thursday from isis to dazzle visitors both on and off stage than let's say has taken a tour of what is the most expensive cultural projects ever. taking ten yes reach premie and i'd although it's not come cheap at some seven hundred thirty million dollars bad what audiences will get is a seventy nine thousand square building and to accommodate today'

you remember there has been a hunger strike at guantanamo bay. that certainly ramped up the pressure. and he did call for closing guantanamo bay. here's what he had to say more broadly. take a listen. >> from our use of drones to the detention of terrorist suspects, the decisions that we are making now will define the type of nation and world that we leave to our children. so america is at a cross roads. we must define the nature and scope of this struggle or else it will define us. as commander-in-chief, i must weigh these heart tragedies against the alternatives. to do nothing in the face of terrorist networks would invite far more civilian casualties. not just in our cities at home and our facilities abroad but in the very places like kabul and mogadishu where terrorists seek a foothold. >> reporter: now, of course, the use of drones has been controversial to some extent. according to the latest gallup poll, 65% of americans actually support the use of drones abroad on foreign enemies. however, only 41% support the use of drones when you are t

weapons one of the many sensitive issues obama address was the issue of closing the prison at guantanamo bay he said the idea that the u.s. would still detain a group of individuals indefinitely without trial is contrary to the interests reputations and morals of america while the u.s. president has shown his strong will to close the prison he lacks the necessary support from congress and that support is what would give obama the authority and the funding to close the prison and now obama's comments come of course as the hunger strike at guantanamo bay prison enters its fourth day this is a story that our team first reported back in march and has continued to cover we were among the first to cover it for to you extra navy medical stuff i've been sent in to assist with over one hundred inmates using food at guantanamo bay. company can stone things washington is under pressure to prove it's already tarnished image there. u.s. authorities are in damage control mode now because they know that with every prisoner who dies in guantanamo bay the negative attention of the world is going to be focuse

there will be new rules for guantanamo bay.there will be a fresh attempt to send prisoners to trial. that was not enough for the hecklers. >> you are commander in chief. you can close it today. he could not, continue. >> history will cast a harsh judgment on this aspect of our fight on terrorism and those who failed to and it appeared imagine a future 10 or 20 years from now when the united states of america is still holding people who have been charged with no crime on a piece of land that is not part of our country. >> outside of the stage, protesters were hardly satisfied. >> i am very disappointed. i was a democrat for a long time and i wanted to vote for him this time around. when it comes to the perpetuation of this war and in obamag the cycle going, has done as much as he had. >> the republicans in congress have stopped him from closing guantanamo bay. for all of the speeches, there was no suggestion why the hard politics have changed him a white it is any easier now to make those promises become a reality. >> the tricky

so obama has failed first on commitment to shut down guantanamo bay has now started another lap of a former detainee from the camp more back he told us he believes the u.s. is trying to get away with a crime and end up being thanked for it. i don't think anybody's going to be singing the praises of obama any time soon because he's already made a promise four weeks ago and he closed the place the words of malcolm x. you don't take a knife to stick it in a man's back nine inches deep five inches and say we're making progress if they're cleared for release and why don't you released him now it is a process it will take you no more we want the criminals they were the criminals the criminality was done against us torture is criminality kidnap is criminality rendition is criminality tortures criminality all of these things were done to us we didn't do this to anybody we were interrogated by the world's most powerful law enforcement and intelligence agencies and at the years of all of this we still have no charges against us and the years of all of this prison still the overwhelming majorit

and that idea of this being a sort of little guantanamo bay obviously excluding me concerning a one that we've already seen the u.k. government a really trying to me away from but the u.k. lawyers have been very clear here that parliamentarians did not know about this that this was not known to the british public so you've got the defense secretary on the one side saying you know this is very different to guantanamo bay in a number of very important respects predominantly that this is for the detainees own protection and also that this wasn't a secret that the people heard about it and this is being spoken about unequal the u.k. lawyers saying you know hang on a second absolutely not this was a secret facility and this is the public awakening now so i think certainly what you're seeing it has been discussed in the possible what you're seeing now with this realisation of the number of people being detained at cannes last year and also this kind of question mark exactly huge walking away is certainly going to justify much closer scrutiny now around this and certainly going to raise some co

coming up on r t the guantanamo bay hunger strike reaches the three month mark how much longer will this last and how does it get to this point we'll dive into that topic just ahead. the syrian war might have turned a serious corner after reports surface of the use of chemical weapons but who is behind the sarin gas that question might not have a straightforward answer a deeper look at the latest developments coming up. and the private space industry continues to shoot for the stars from trips to the international space station to possible asteroid mining and even putting people on mars look at the efforts to make money in the new space race. it's monday may sixth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm maggie lopez and you are watching our t.v. starting off this hour out of the shadows of military limbo and into the spotlight of american political debate for years the government has ignored cries to close guantanamo bay to end the do to have indefinite detention there and to stop the torture at that facility but u.s. officials and the american public are paying attention now why is that and whi

military authority overseeing guantanamo bay he denies there's any abuse at the facility. when a detainee leave the camp they get a what we call a full frisk which is a pat down search not unlike you'd experience going through airport security if you are selected for secondary screening in the united states it's quick it's with full clothing on and it's noninvasive so the lawyers it's not the detainees job to tell the truth the lawyers just repeat what the detainees say that all of those allegations are false what about the allegations of the many years i want to let me ask you about the allegations about the unsafe and inhumane force feeding all those prisoners who are on hunger strike do you deny that well there is the policy of the united states and its drudgery of life for lawful means we currently have a hundred hunger strikers today we have currently thirty who are. doing and terribly sad deaths using a liquid nutrition supplement. most of them when they're ordered to do that go compliantly and take it a percentage about a third need to be taken to their their cheati

when he talked about guantanamo bay, it cost the american taxpayer $150 million a year. million per prisoner when on average on a prison in pennsylvania and elsewhere, it's about $48,000. so let's get -- and some of those folks, you know, are going to go back to their countries to be detained elsewhere. >> when you look at the fact, krystal, the president has now addressed guantanamo bay, which some of us that supported him were disappointed in, and drones, which i've disagreed with, he's now moving closer to where even some of his own base has said we're with you but these things we're not with. i think that this gives a sense that maybe the president has not only ended the bush era as we knew it in these policies but began to turn the corner where foreign policy and where we're dealing with questions of military and defense in this country is going to go. >> i think that's right and i think the point on guantanamo is really important. i mean, not to go back through the history of all of this, the president made it a priority. he tried to close guantanamo bay and ran up

and all of this includes making another run at closing guantanamo bay. it is a problem that is not getting any better. it's getting worse with the hunger strikes and we need to deal with guantanamo. we need to engage congress on lightening up on the restrictions that they have imposed. >> let me get first before i get to guantanamo, i want to ask you about the drone strikes. do you think that the administration has been to a certain extent, indiscriminate in the use of drones, in nonwar zones? in areas where there are civilian populations. where the premise for going after someone isn't just that we know someone is there. but that there is a group of men congress gaiting who we think are connected to al qaeda, just to use a hypothetical. >> given my experience, as a lawyer for the u.s. military and the department of defense. i disagree with that characterization. targeted lethal force, every operation of targeted lethal force is reviewed legally, carefully at the level of my office, down the military chain of command to insure that it fits within our lega
