we are ment to be your first choice for the news. >> binding them ahome. cunning around the word taking in more than 100,000 syrian refugees.

she has been accused of motting to kill him. the success in the fight against a global killer, how millions have been prevented. >> hello, the u.s. senate has condemned the techniques used by the c.i.a. after the nerve attacks. it has reveal add report wrapping up five years of investigation into the tactics. it details the use of sleep deprivation, sexual humiliation, and simulating drowning. senator investigators say the program was far more brutal than the c.i.a. ever admitted and at least 26 people were wrongfully held many secret prisons. s that techniques were ineffective and they never produced information that led to

foiling eminent terror threats. she spoke at length about how the government was mislead about the abuse detainees were off subject to harsh and brutal interrogation. and treatment because c.i.a. analysts believed often in error, that they knew more information than what they had provided. sometimes managers and interfay tors in the field were uncomfortable with what they were being asked to do and recommended ending the abuse of a detainee. repeatedly everyoverruled by people, who thought they knew better. >> first, to tell us what congress is expected to do next, kimberly.

>> well, you know, it is hard to say what congress is expected to do. we heard from shortly after the intelligence committee re'sing this report on the heels of her statement. he spoke at length reminding not just members of the united states, but around the world it was in 1990, that they helped to draft and author the convention against torture. that it is in no case, and in no way justified whether it's a state of war, emergency, and yet this is exactly what we are finding from this report took place. in very brutal terms. so there was that opportunity, there was an opportunity again in 2008 to really bring about an end to rendition, or interrogation techniques but it was president obama who vetoed again. again, we saw an opportunity by the congress to close guantanamo bay, where

many are being held. again that opportunity was passed what we have here in advance of this report, a lot of bickers back and forth, about why it should or shouldn't be released. around the word, but also now we have just arguing supports by democrats -- and lawmakers in general, about whether or not this report is good or bad. >> 12 years in the making. and 19 herself did go through a law to make that public. >> she did, and it was a real changing of the relationship, between dianne and the cia. she has long champions their work, but this is where there is a deep division. the fact that this report has been released there were efforts and yet we have a pretty comprehensive look now at what took place, the fact that dianne has used strong wording that it

was program of enhanced interrogation, it was morally and legally misguided it did not yield results. and also the fact that it was not a good way to get intelligence, and that no lives were saved. the fact that we have just these statements are being made, this report is being released countering those statements just shows how this relationship has been leading up, and how there is a deep sense of betrayal by the committee now that this has been revealed. >> joining us from just outside the white house, a hot of back and forth, going on, what does the white house has president obama come out and said anything. >> he makes it pretty

cheer that he is standing by his decision not to prosecute any of those. rather than another reason to refight old i hope we can leave these techniques where they belong, in the past. today we are reminded it makes us stronger. the president came to us, he outlawed torture, but again, prosecute anyone involved let's not forget, it is a crime to lie to congress. and this report says that the congress was repeatedly lied to. so that would be one avenue to go after some of the officials names in this report. and they didn't want this report released in the first place. >> so what can be the long term implications? well, you know, the senator said the reason she wanted to release it is to make sure the torture never happened again, but look at why it has been outlawed.

the next president can easily come in overturn that. that didn't stop the c.i.a. from legal it has the legal basis to ignoring those treaties. this could be overturned by the next president. >> the former chief prosecutor and now he is an assistant professor, joining us live from washington, d.c. thank you for being with us so do you think that now that the summary, at least, of this report has been put out there, has been published does this settle the controversy of the c.i.a. program. >> i don't think it settles us. the crucial point is what do we do from here.

because as has been mentioned, we have a domestic torture statute, here at home, the geneva conventions make torture a war crime, so it is a question now of where do we do from here. >> it is very unlikely, that any sort of accountability will be come out of this and there won't be any legal con wednesdays. for any of the cia officials. certainly the president has made it clear again today that he is taking a look forward not back. and having impunity to for churr, as i said, torture is prohibited be i the convention it is prohibited by the geneva convention. while we can look the other way here, excused our conduct in the international community.

that the interrogations were justifying and he is dismissing this report. >> as it says there is no justification whatsoever for torture. ronald ragan called it an abhorrent practice and that the u.s. was leading the effort to stamp out this practice, and here we are 20 years later committed torture ourself. we need to take this moment in time to look and to take the right steps going forward.

because the u.s. government had sate that re'sing this report, then could unhereby a giant backlash as well as it's innuance abroad. do you expect to see a backlash. >> people like representative who is the head of the house intelligence committee who have been trying to fan the flames to keep this coming out and saying people are going to die. we had the navy seal team member that shot osama bin laden in the face, talking about the night he killed bin laden and that sparked no controversial, so i don't think people will get that upset about what happened to mohamed ten or 12 years ago.

>> all right, thank you orders an inquiry of the investigative report of the teammates return. >> in supporting the leader of the road map for reconciliation. this is at the annual summit of the leaders of the gulf state who have gathered here.

ambassadors only recently returned after a diplomatic rowe over the support for the muslim brotherhood. we need to get rid of sectarian risks. as long as there's terrorism, and our region in particular, and the challenge they put on every one of us, necessitates the arab country and the international community to work collectively, and adopt the necessary measures in order to get rid of terrorism and to deal with the real reasons that the political, social, and economic reasons for such terrorism. violence, and a presentation, and the lack of security will lead to this. joining us now in the

studio to talk about the latest lines we are hearing. apparently deals to get an agreement over all the issues and perhaps leading the summit with a success, that means the reason and the points one of them is supporting the road map in egypt which means that there is an agreement that egypt needs to move towards national reconciliation, certainly because that's one of the main points of the road map. so it isn't exactly a very clear are we going to see more of this as it

comes to other topics. >> interestingly, they were supposed to host the 36 minute, and the last moment i found that it was accepted to be hosted in saudi arabia. which apparently is being analyzed with the use of the members about the move towards a union within the region. so that can explain why the deal was to continue the revolution towards a more union, military, in terms of single currency, you know one passport and so forth. so in this summer, the portion, move on a number

of issues and now this seems to be an intention, if you will, to move towards a closer union. and perhaps it is the country that is not exactly with this approach. >> interesting. and to have some kind of reconciliation after we have seen differences. >> the difference is between the united emritz saudi arabia, those seem to have been put behind them, a number of issues that there is disagreement 80, certainly what unites them is the common theft for their security. they feel with the dwindling prices and the rise of iran, and certainly the proliferation of extremism, that their collective security is theftenned.

of course, the instability in yemen next door, so all of that is bringing together, and agree on all of these issues. now, they don't agree to the very depth and detail of these issues but certainly, they have expressed a consensus on those, at least, generally speaking thank you very much. our senior political analyst joining us here in doha. other news, has fired his vice president joyce. he was let go days after she lost her post in the ruling party. she was one touted as likely to sek seed the president. eight ministers have also been sacked. this update for us. >> or keep her in the fold, keep her in the family, while he fires her, and this has been a

surprise to many. he has accused her of trying to remove him to power, and said she even tried to kill him. and in this meeting they talked about removing and installing her as the next president, the u.s. has denied these allegations this is one newspaper here the u.s. is the assassination claim they say they are always willing and happy to work with the people, she has been coming out saying what he is doing is not fair, she has always been hollywood to him. and in speaking out, she is also been quoted as saying that she believes that he is being lied to she is saying her enemies are trying to sideline her, and she wants him to reconsider his decision the big question supporter no is who he will appoint as his vice president and the ore key thing, of course, is what is the way forward and the other ministers being

fired for this alleged destruction. and ultimately people about what this means for the economy. >> kenya's information minister has denied the existence of secret death squads after an exclusive al jazeera report. woe hold you how police admitted for the first time, that they do kill people of being so called muslim cad ales. one hitman admitted that he killed 50 suspects. another said the squalls kill about 1,000 every year. did say that invest faces are going on. >> the accusations about the police being involved in the killing of a muslim and so on, it just rumor or basically -- by people who have a

different kind of agenda, if people know who is killing -- the reports from the police. that's why we are conducting the investigation. we are collaborating with -- >> if they are then found through further investigations whoever they are, at the moment, we don't know who they are. that's why these investigations are going on. and when the decisions lead to the point, whoever they are, will be arrested. >> well, countries have more than doubles the number of syrian refugees that they are willing to resettle to more than 100,000 that comes after a big increase in the numbers being offered homes. more than 3 million have fled to the closest neighbors.

but hundreds of thousands are heading to europe. pack in april 2011, syrians made just under 500 applications for asylum. and that peek lost before tailing off very slightly the following month. swede and germany have the greatest applications from syrian refugees. many others have gone to switzerland, the united kingdom, but thousands more are spread across many other parts of europe. barn by phillips is in geneva, he is covering that u.n. conference for us to tell us what the main results were of the conference. >> who are talking about pledges that aren't necessarily specific, they are a big vague, but when we try to pin him

down, he says look, in terms of resettlement, among the immediate neighbors we had taken about fort thousand going into this meeting and we have come out of this meeting with members of the juries in the region of 100,000. which as you say, is more than double it's not enough, in his words. it is a step, but he does believe that it does represent progress for syrian refugees. >> mass resettlement, can't really be the only solution, what are the other options? well, it is certainly not the only solution. the high commission itself believes that something like 10% of the syrian refugees who are currently in those neighboring countries and specifically really jordan lebanon and turkey above all, some 10% of them that's 300,000 at least, need resettlement. they are children, people

with health problems they will never be able to go home. they need material support, in order to retain the material strain of hosting that many people but in the long long term, of course, the only solution to this terrible problem is as is stainable peace, and it goes without saying that that is way beyond the unhcr. >> thank you very much reporting from geneva. john reports on the plight of war refugees in

europe. >> this carries the hopes of 600 people. they huddled for almost a week, until it's engine broke, the piston they didn't have the parts to fix, and they drifted dangerously. they were towed to europe on the island which reaches out like an oasis they were met here by emergency services and a lot of people who helped. they are very grateful because they have been saved. >> that gratitude may not last syrians arriving may stay for six monos but they cannot work or repilled their lives here, and they have taken to the streets to protest against that. >> we have spent our money here, for nothing. we want to go to europe to find a good life and

find a future, we are good people. >> the new syrian and afghan arrivals are kept under heavy police guard. locals drop off food. >> they are very grateful, they thank us every day, but they want this to be over, they want to go on their way, they are doctors, lawyers, respectable people, not poor. >> far from it, the value of this passage is estimated at well over $2 million these people pay to to as far as germany and italy. >> they were forced to abandon lives because of their religious identity, they are the fabric of the syrian and afghan middle class being cobled to threat. and they form a surge in asylum applications across the developed world. >> some two dozen prepare to be taken to shelters around the country, relieves to move on to the next step.

they now face the realities of poverty in exile. al jazeera. well, there could be some good news, the food program is which it suspend add week ago, the agency said on tuesday that a fund raising drive has raised $80 million. spain and thailand are the latest countries to shut down the online taxi company. >> india has asked the local government to stop

all unregistered taxi services. it is a problem that few deny. >> the trouble is some men consider but disregard other women as nobodies. they follow them and stop them. >> the timing of this latest case that has captured the nation's attention, couldn't be worse. it comes almost two years after the fatal gang rape of a female student on a bus in new delhi. activists aren't surprised that crimes

like rape still pose a huge challenge. >> we know that a lot of thing which is are promised have not been put in place. we know the. >> pros are there, but nothing in reality. except for very very marginal changes one that say is constantly being challenged by the hay rate of sexual violence against women. >> the government has introduced new laws and initiatives to raise awareness about crimes like rape, and to make the country safer, as this latest case shows public confidence is low, and many people are still waiting to see results. al jazeera, new dell li. >> still to come, we h have more on that u.s. senate intelligence committee report on the c.i.a. secret interrogation program,

and coming up find out which clubs are -- with a chance of reaching the knock out rounds of the european champions league.

teach for america is supposed to educate poor children. >> schools where kids need grade teaching the most. >> can unprepared teachers make a difference? >> why are we sending them teachers with 5 weeks of training?

the u.s. senate has condemned the c.i.a. for what it calls deception and brutality the committee has released a censored version of the report into the interrogation techniques. the 480 page document wraps up five years of investigation. it details the use of sleep deprivation, and simulated drowning on suspects. senate investigators say the program was far more brutal than the c.i.a. ever admitted. the report says these techniques were ineffective, and never led to information that led to foiling of a terror threat. calling for prosecutions over that interrogation program joining us from the united nations, to tell us what more he said.

on counter terrorism and human rights. to look at human rights abuses caused by downer terrorism campaigns. he has been calling for this over a year we have got the summary that has come out with the redactions. and i think that shows the brutal damming details of the c.i.a.'s program, now he is saying and we have already been hearing on this program, about the difficulties of legal action, he is saying that the u.s. must take legal action against those responsible, because they have treaty obligations to do so. he is quoting u.n. convention. and the u.n. convention against torture, both of which the u.s. has signed.

he is saying these people should be brought to justice. another interesting point, how can that happen. well, i can tell you right now. signatures from the criminal court are having their annual meeting here, real unease about this report among the delegates to that gathering. they are certainly talking about it here one interesting fact that we have in the pages that have been released details black ofs where the detention centers where they were taking place.

now, where were those? obviously the details are redacted in the report. but if they are in countries which are signatories to their own statute that set up the criminal court, then potentially they could be international heel ramifications. worth one last thing, the u.n. secretary general we are told, is well aware of the release of this report, his spokesman said the u.n. are studying the report and will speak at a hater date. the secretary general currently in lima for a climate change conference. the former c.i.a. operative and she says it was clear to many of the agencies that they believe that torture was not effective.

hearing them talk it filled me with sadness. for a number of reasons but one of which was that the torture program at that time was in full swing, and was being talked about many the hallway, although i certainly was not a part of it. what made me sad is how many times they referred to cia officer whose questioned the ethicacy, who questioned the management. and that those -- that questioning really fell on deaf ears. so familiar to me, when you see mismanagement, when you see things are just wrong, there really is no recourse. i think any veteran intelligence operative would argue that harsh

interrogation, do not yield effective results. that you do not get actionable intelligence, of course they will talk, they will say whatever you want them to say, but the attitude after the agency, at the time i was there, was that you would never get good information through torture. so i think the reason that the agency higher ups are objects so much to the release, is not because they genuinely fear that operatives or foreign assets are in danger, i think it is deeply embarrassing to them because this lifeboat that they have been clinging to, claiming these methods were effective has been proved to be false. something that many of us made the claim long ago. >> well, a frank man that was kidnapped three years ago has been freed.

the french president says he is in relatively good health despite the captivities. >> our last hostage is free, i just heard the good news, who will be making a statement when he arrived, as he has not arrived yet. and i would hike to thank him and the president who invest in helping us free our hostage. >> a french military plane is on it's way to bring back. his daughter is onboard the mane, and he is expected to be back in france as early as wednesday when he will p reunited with other members of his family, and also formally received and welcomed. now remarks that the president made when he announced the release of the hostage were quite telling. oeh spoke of intense

negotiations that had taken place with authorities. and there is widespread speculation in the french media that in fact, some kind of prisoner exchange has been involved in securing the release of the frenchman. in fact, if these are report, it would appear two of the men that were involved in abducting him originally, three years ago, in 2011, were in fact released as part of the deal. they were captured, and shortly after being involved in that attack have been held prisoner since then, and now apparently, have been released in order to secure the release of the frenchman we don't have that officially, but at any rate, he is expected back in france on wednesday. >> nigerian military says it is trying to regain territory in the north of the country. the armed group had been capturing towns with an

attempt to establish a so called. reports where she met people who lived under boko haram control. >> . >> the town she was in school. her family fled without her, for three weeks she lived under the group's so called rule before taking a back road to escape they are patrolling the streets, they told people they were going to put things in order, went shop to shop, house to house, breaking in and taking belongings. >> they have been pushing to acquire territory people initially ned in terror, but the group has been seeking to paint an image of actual government, and the more than two dozen town and villages it has seized. avid owe released by the group, reported to show it's leader. people that fled effected areas state say they

would much -- that it is hard to tell myth from reality. what appears certain, however, is the attempt to establish a presence. >> they were going around looking for girls to mary, they said it was not forced, they would pay a dowry. then the groom would pick a house and settle in it. >> he says the fighters were preventing people from threing. they asked people to reopen their shops, they reopened shops of those who left, and conducted business among themselves. they even operated a station. >> he said fighters they were only after government workers and soldiers and as long as they abide by the version, they would be spared. videos.ropaganda videos

they also told al jazeera the group single out christians either randomly killing them or forcing them to convert the ability to hold on to the large territories is being tested. the group is not heaved to have enough resources to provide services over a long period of time neither is it particularly popular in the communities. >> the government says although the seizure is a concern, the group is unable to actually rule. >> not going back are the hundreds.

>> open couraging news on ma hair yeah. the -- that's helped by simple measures. it estimates there were 198. 184,000 dies. africa accounted for 80% of those deaths and the majority of them were children under 5. but the number of people dying of the disease is falling sharply since 2000, the mortality rate has fallen by 47% worldwide. and it's africa, that is showing the most improvement, with a 54% drop in the mortality rate. but not everyone is showing such dramatic success. they went to the hills area of bangladesh, and there are farming methods are undoing much of the progress made to come pat the disease. >> might be creating a

malaria problem that refuses to go away. slash and burn agriculture can be linked to a higher sense of cases. burning the soil raises it's p.h. conduct, making it more suitable as a breeding ground which transmits the disease. >> three years ahead of schedule. >> but the number of cases spiked from 7,500 last year, to over 18,000 this year in the three districts that formed the hill tracks.

far removed from the rest of the country. >> raising the p.h. level isn't the only thing putting them at risk. slash and burn farmers go deep into the jungle weeks at a time. >> some of these maces are so remote, it can take more than a day. the government has launched an antimalaria drive in this area. part of the plan is to distribute these jackets to slash and burn you remember fakers. >> a special type of jacket, that is -- it is immersed in insecticide.

it is not actual hi comfortable for the person. >> the government has handed out 2,000 jackets this year. and says recipients have so far stayed disease free. they welcome the move, if something may keep here from being bitten she is willing to give eight chance. >> al jazeera, bangladesh. >> nine people have been killed when a pom ex-moded in a bus. in the mast took place in front of a unit, on the island. no one has claimed responsibility, attacks have continued in the region despite a new awe ton my deal between the government and the largest muslim rebel group. the government says the new law is necessary to convince allies to share

intelligence with japan. but opponents say it curbs freedom of speech. victoria records. chalk on him to scrap the law even though the secrecy law is going into effect, the other government and the ruling party don't want to draw too much attention to it. so it is important that we market under the new agency higher ups whistle blower whose han over state secrets and get up to ten years in jail. journalists working with emthis can get five years in prison. >> opponents say the law is part of the wider agenda.

so everyone's desire to know and find out things will slowly wither away, and the desire to know things about politics will fade. >> japan's government says the government needs the new law in order to exchange secrets with allies like the united states. and in order to tight. nation's security in times of increasing regional tense. >> the government will implement the law, but make use of things that they will be revealed to parliament. so the right to know isn't infringed. >> thousands of protestors formed a human change around parliament. the year on demonstrators feel just as strongly, and they say the danger of this law is that the government decide what is question credit.

>> peter greste, and ba had mohamed were jailed on false charges. they are appealing against their convictions. they were each sentenced to seven years in prison, ba had was given an additional three years for having a spent bullet in his possession, which he picked up at a protest. still to come, now threatened by plantations. and coming up in sport, we will hear from brazilian football legend as he is released from hospital.

>> we have lost our firewood, our vegetables, our animals our birds and peeks that's all gone now. that used to be our source of living. >> and this become of his home, thousands are found indonesia provised. of around $20 billion. it's now his turn. >> farm oil is rapidly moving into the far east creating economic opportunities but also land conflict and social disparity, while the demand for sustainable farm is growing and environmentalist are questioning if these plantations can ever be exploited in a responsible way. despite promised by oil companies only few have

been given jobs. companies complain most don't have the rights skills to work in plantations. some have been given trees instead to generate income. we never touched money before in our lives. not even $1. >> despite a disappearing forrest and employment of opportunities the companies say they are investment h eventually benefit the local population. >> we have to think about the benefits of converting this. we have to think about it. they have to feel economic development, it is great to have all this that meanwhile people are suffering. >> local leaders question the benefits.

crops are considers more in line with the local culture. >> if we look at how the community and see how they are asking for a review of the licenses. >> an estimated 400,000 forrest have been converted into palm oil plantations already, with the intention to increase the exports many more will follow. seriously threatening the remaining hunting grounds. steadfast al jazeera. look for all the sports news on the news hour. >> thank you very much. tuesday sees the last round of group games in the european championships league gets underway, some decisive matches coming up. they have to beat to progress into the knock out rounds.

the end field will be enough for the swiss team to progress. they are in a similar position ten years ago. they went on to win the title. the only defeat was in the last game against real madrid who is just beating everybody right now. the top scorer of course scored in the game in switzerland, but now he is a big presence, so he will certainly be glad to have him back. what it will be hook to play here in the dream and potentially taking this through. so they know they are in for a real game here. as i say, a few months ago. a real stiff test if they are going to qualify for the stages. >> they will go through with the draw and the victory if they need a

win to qualify. the italians could top the group if they beat by two goals or more, if they lose they are then in with a chance of qualifying. 74-year-old brazillian has been treated for a urinary tract infection. where he was transpired to a special unit, but he is now set to spend christmas back at home. >> i want to remind all
