Tonight Ritula Shah reports live from the US base in Guantanamo Bay. President Obama promised to close the facility in 2008 but 164 men are still being held. Will the president spend precious political capital to overcome the legal and practical hurdles that still stand in the way of its closure? The World Tonight has been given access to the base to see what the conditions are like for the detainees and to talk to the people who guard them.
