>> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour, i'm here in doha, these are the top stories on al jazeera. secret prisons and torture did not work - the u.s. senate report slams the c.i.a.'s interrogation techniques. [ explosion ] iraq asks for more help from the u.s. in the fight against i.s.i.l. a special report on the iraqi forces battling the group lisa zimmermann's president -- zimbabwe's

president calls an emergency meeting to replace the deputy he sacked. plus... >> i'm nick clark off the coast of peru, in the abaund unt water where -- abundant waters where there's a looming threat to marine life the united nations and human rights groups are causing for u.s. officials to be procuted for their role in interrogation -- prosecuted for interrogation techniques, following tore future practices at hidden sites around the world, and no useful intelligence was gained from torturing prisoniers. >> reporter: hundreds of pages of evidence of what happened to 119 men detained in secret prisons, like this one in lithuania. >> the cia programme was more

brutal than people were led to believe. >> detainees were deprived sleep for 180 hours. five forced to have enemas, not for medical reasons. there are reports five people were water boarded which the cia describes as a series of near drownings, and there's reports of physical violent beatings, contradicting assurances from top bosses. >> the senate report says the i cia purposely lied to congress, the public and the programme's effectiveness. >> i can say questioning the detainees has given us information that has saved innocent lives by helping us stop new attacks. >> the report says it's not true, the interrogations did not stop plots or lead to the capture or killing of operatives, like osama bin laden, or khalid sheikh mohammed. u.s. president obama banned the use of torture, but ruled out

prosecuting the people who carried it out. >> my goal is to make sure having banned this practice, which is one of the first things i did when i came into sofs, that we don't make that mistake again. when we are under threat, and we are afraid, e and the public is clamoring to do something, that's when we have to be most on guard because there are times we can slip into the kinds of activities that i don't think we want to see repeated. >> experts warn the next president could overturn his order. >> it would be pretty easy for president obama or the next president to ignore executive actions that have been taken on torture, because we have seen huge expansion of executive authorities understand presidents bush and obama. >> the c.i.a. is refuting the report, denying the allegations, and the republicans that will control the senate seem to be backing them up.

>> executive summaries and conclusions contain a disrk number of factual and -- disturbing number of factual and analytical errors. >> it seems congress will push for more detail. it means the world will have a better idea of what happened to the men, but no one but them will pay a price for how they were treated. the u.s. senate reports 54 countries spanning from africa to north america were involved in the c.i.a.'s enhanced interrogation programme. 14 middle eastern countries are believed to have participated. >> well, adam cogal is a middle east researcher at human rights watch and joins us from the jordanian capital amman. good to have you with us on al jazeera. we mentioned other countries that are believed to take part. how complicit are other

governments in what went on? your organisation researched jordan's role. what did you find? >> well, thank you for having me, first of all. human rights watch research found over the years that other governments are very complicit in this programme of rendition, of terrorism suspects from places like the battlefields in afghanistan or pakistan and other places, two countries in the middle east for extended periods of interrogation. our organization researched the rendition of 14 non-jordanians, two jordan, between 2001 and 2004. and in our research, we found evidence that these detainees had been tortured through various meanings. including through sleep deprivation, beatings, the beating of the soles of the feet and other harsh methods. >> this was done in jordan, who

should be held accountable for this. are prosecution, do you think, likely? >> well, in fact, if the torture happened as the evidence indicates that it did, it means that both jordan and the united states broke their obligations under the convention against torture. it's really unfortunate, for example, that president obama has decided to turn the other page and forego vigorous prosecutions against officials that authorised the torture programme, or were complicit in it. we would call upon him to reverse that and to, in fact, prosecute those known to have been involved in the torture programme. the problem is without prosecutions, without clear declarations that this was illegal activity, it turns into merely sort of a failed policy decision, rather than illegal activity, and it could be resurrected by future

administration in the event of a security threat. >> the methods that are detailed in this report, have they stopped, do you think, from the information that you have - either by the c.i.a. or its partner organizations? >> i'm sorry, can you repeat the question. >> do you think that the methods that this report details, are they still continuing, or have they stopped either by the c.i.a. or countries that partner rendition countries? >> well, we have no evidence to indicate that these interrogation techniques continued. president obama said he ended them. we don't have evidence that he continued. >> thank you very much for that. adam coogle from human rights watch joining us from the jordanian capital amman. thank you for your time. >> let's move on to other news. iraq's prime minister asked

the united states for more air strikes and weapons to fight i.s.i.l. haider al-abadi made the request to the outgoing u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel who has been in baghdad. let's go to jane arraf who joins us live from the iraqi capital. is the u.s. likely to heed prime minister haider al-abadi's call? well, they are trying to do more. there are certain constraints. the u.s. does not want to get too deeply into the conflict with an uncertain outcome. the other are legal constraints. it wants to help and send weapons mented there's a lot of concern in washington if they speed up weapons deliveries, sent fighter jets and armour. what we see on the ground is

with the u.s. air strikes, i canny forces have been able to push back i.s.i.l. forces in key areas, but in places around iraq's biggest remainry oil proved he is able to come back and keep fighting. >> reporter: this is the main army north of baghdad to tikrit. the i.s.i.l. gunmen they are fighting are here. iraqi forces regained control of iraq's biggest refinery. i.s.i.l. retreated from large areas. the group keeps coming back - in the form of snipers and suicide bombers. >> we have to be village lents for enemies using hit and run

tactics. we have the main role under our cell. they are using surprise attacks. snipers and suicide bombers. >> counterterrorism largely remained in tact when four additions of the army collapsed. trained by the united states, they have been at the forefront of a lot of battles against i.s.i.l. after fighting to take back the we finery, counterterrorism forces stayed on. the fighting continues on the highway to tich rid. this village has been cleared, the counterterrorism troops believe i.s.i.l. gunmen could come back at any time. >> so while the counterterrorism forces and special forces retained a lot of lessons they learnt from the american, according to american officials,

the focus is really on iraq's regular army and the federal police and other units. it's there that the u.s., along with allies, are trying to figure out how to quickly train large numbers of troops so they can go in and hold territory that they regained thank you very much for that. that's our correspondent jane arraf joining us from the iraqi capital baghdad. to syria, where the united nations refugee agency says 28 countries agreed to resettle up to 100,000 refugees from syria. the pledge comes days after amnesty international said nations have taken in a pitiful number. more than 3 million syrians fled fighting. barnaby phillips reports from geneva. >> reporter: in geneva, a meeting of roughly 40 counties in the world that have expressed a willingness to take some syrian refugees.

there has been a vast exodus from syria. the people are crossing to turkey. lebanon and jordan struggled to cope with huge influxes. >> jordan is the third poorest nation in water resources. with that said, there was no syrian in jordan denied water. we live in a turbulent region. where security necessities are extremely high, but there was never a syrian who did not have security and safety in jordan. >> the country around syria has taken on an extraordinary burden in looking after millions of refugees. increasingly the countries say the burden is no longer sustainable. the united nations is pleading with the rest of the world to do more to help. >> most of the countries that agreed to resettle syrian refugees outside the middle east are in europe.

sweden and germany led the way. >> everyone who finds refuge in our countries, who regains hope for the future. who receives medical care. every child that can go to school again, live a formal life is worth the eefrt. >> several countries announced visa policies. >> after the u.s. spoke with progress, countries around the world agreeing to take 100,000 syrians from the middle east. >> i think it's an excellent interim result. but i will only be happy when all the syrians that would in a justified way or should be resettled. of course, syria's refugee crisis can only end when its war end and bringing peace to syria is behind the remit of the un hcr there is some good news for

the syrian refugees. the u.n.'s world food program is restarting food in jordan, lebanon, turkey, iraq and egypt. electronic food vouchers which hoped to feed 1.7 million syrians were stopped due to a lack of funding. the initiative will continue after the wsp managed to secure $80 million through an online fundraising campaign. >> there's more to come on the al jazeera newshour. back home, the last frenchman held hostage lands at an air base near paris. >> liberia's president launches a drive against an ebola outbreak. a report on how people there have been coping. zimbabwean president mugabe called a meeting to replace the

secretary he sagged. he fired joyce maggura. let's go to our correspondent from zimbabwe. has this come as a surprise, given grace mugabe, robert's wife, campaigned, public campaign against mooujureujurmu. >> no, it hasn't. a big surprise that someone close to the president was accused of removing him, the former vice president joyce mugure u. he was meant to be here to address supporters, all his people are in the building. when he gets here he's expected to announce people or the body that will make the decision. also, of course, name his vice president who is expected to

weigh in sooner, some time later today. right now they are waiting for him to arrive. no plaiption as to why he's late. any idea who might be named as the deputy? >> lots of people are speakulating, expecting is to be the justice minister, a long-time ally. people pelent him to be named the vice president. he hasn't always been in the good books. he was accused of manoeuvring in the party and replace mugabe, he's in the good books and is expected to be named the vice president soon. >> thank you very much for that a frenchman kidnapped in mali three years ago arrived back home. he is the last french hostage to be released by the north african branch of al qaeda.

that's him greeted by french president frederic hollande. he urged french citizens not to travel to areas where he risked being kidnapped. >> i want to send a clear and simple message to all citizens that may be in zones considered risky. do what you can to avoid going to places where you could be kidd nonparole period. there are regions one should not be allowed to travel to. 2-3 years ago we could ask questions. now there is no more uncertainty. >> translation: i'm going to keep it brief as i don't have much energy. i wanted to thank france, the french people, mr president and everyone in government for their effort in securing my relief as well as those of other hostages. being a hostage is complicated. it's not that simple.

life is beautiful. to find freedom again. i didn't know what freedom was, i have forgotten. don't forget. to be a freeman, it's necessary to take care and pay attention. freedom is priceless, when we are kidnapped, lost at the point of death, we think about life. i thank you all for being here, and i thank you you will once again. >> kenya's information minister denied the secret death squads following an al jazeera report. a counter terrorism police admitted that they killed people suspected of being muslim radicals. a policeman admitted he killed 50 suspect. another said they kill about 500 suspects every year. >> speaking to my colleague on "inside story", the information minister says investigations are ongoing. >> the accusations about the

police being involved in the killing of muslim radicals and so on is gossip. rumour or innuendo, people who have a different agenda. people know who is killing the clerics. there are media reports, why not give it to the police. we don't know them. that's why we are conducting investigations. we are not alone. we collaborate with governments in the region. and virs bodies. >> you say if they are found through further investigations. you. >> they'll be prosecuted. >> you accept that. >> they'll face the full force of the law. >> even if they are police. >> whoever they are. at the moment we don't know who they are. that's why the decisions are going on. when the investigations lead to a point, wherever they are, they will be arrested. >> one more note on the story. kenya's interior minister ordered investigations into al jazeera for the developmentry on the police killings, it's

one time his wife came here to us. >> this family's heart ache is magnified. first the loss of loved ones. then the stigma. it's a pattern seen in the ebola epidemic zone of liberia, sierra leone and guinea. the health care workers risking their lives to treat the infected reported being shunned in the communities. she and her family found acceptance and generosity through a church community. it's straining to help them. >> they don't have clothes. they don't have sufficient food. the place they are living is six in number and they are just in a room. the pastor is hoping a donor or an international organization ca organization can lift the family's circumstances. he wants to ensure the chin are able to attend school. >> we believe in god to see that they'll be this school. they try to rebuild their lives. >> time may help decimate the

fear. >> i want to tell them they should not be afraid of me. since i come to the community people are not afraid of me, so my own people should not be afraid of me. >> this is a family of survivors. one day it may be a family yupd. to new york where security has been stepped up and all jewish facilities, as amateur video shows calvin peters launching at police before they shot and killed him. peters entered a brooklyn synagogue and stabbed a 22-year-old jewish student and began questioning other workers before spouting anti-semitic comment the lower house of the u.s. congress passed a bill for more water to be shipped to calve refuse. it may not be realised as the

will not do much to help. >> we do not see being out of the woods this winter. we take steps in the right direction. this will not be resolve. >> here is why. >> we will have to have 150% years for 2-3 years in a row before we have re-establishment of groundwater. if we have average rainwater. moreover, this may not be that unusu unusual. they now rely on water from this tank. the family fills it up. so they can wash dishes and what sh toilets. bottled water arrives on the doorstep. they are forced to ration and bathe from a bucket to conserve. >> did you think you would be living here? >> no. no. i used to live like this in mexico. i never thought we were going to live again. not this, right now. >> with winter approaching

country official are worried about people taking cold water -- et showers. the sol -- bucket showers. the solution 26 showers. if you look inside you see a stall with running water. if you come outside, down the steps, they set up a sink area. this is so people can brush their teeth. they have a mirror, and there's hot running water. that is very important. don't think that because this is california, that it doesn't get cold in the winter. >> what we are trying to do is provide for the basic human needs, make sure they get clean, take a warm shower and be comfortable. we are trying to give normalcy as the disaster continues. >> shall i just say come over here with me and live it, live it with me? >> you won't - well, people won't last a day with what we are living right now. >> with 75 inches of rain needed between now and next fall to end

much the last remaining hostage arrived home after being freed by the north african branch. he was welcomed by frenchman frederic hollande, warring french citizens not to travel into areas where he could be kidnapped. countries tend to set up a special joint police force after agreeing to broaden security efforts against i.s.i.l., and qatar, host of the gulf council, or g.c.c. summit announced it's joining other countries in a roadmap much >> reporter: it was seen as a crucial summit for the g.c.c., leaders having patched up some of their major citizens, withdrawing their ambassadors from doha. saudi arabia, u.a.e. and bahrain accused qatar of destabilizing

the region, giving reference to fellow gulf states. they opened proceedings, calling for unity and solidarity. >> translation: the gulf countries depend on unity, and we need to get rid of sectarian riveringss. the phenomenon of terrorism in our age and region in particular, and the challenge terrorism puts on every one of us necessitates the arab countries and the international communities to work collectively and adopt necessary measures to get rid of terrorism and deal with the real reasons. the political, social and economic reasons for such terrorism. >> reporter: well before the leaders of the world's richest countries arrived, security was upper most on their minds. they say three conflict - iraq, syria and yemen as presenting more and more of a threat in their own countries in the

coast. dominating discussions behind closed doors is what they see as a continued growth of i.s.i.l. the islamic state of iraq and the levant. in an attempt to widen their security efforts against i.s.i.l., the g.c.c. summit decided to form a joint counterterrorism police to be based in abu dhabi and agreed to set up a joint naval defense force. it could coordinate with the coalition forces with frequent air strikes. saudi arabia is believed to be at risk of the so-called terror threat. having extremism in iraq and yemen, with a border - friendships, yemen shared 1400km with saudi arabia. iraq more than 800km. it's a threat in the border, north and south creates a problem. >> at the same time we understand if a snowball effect will happen, it will not execute

anyone. >> qatar's foreign minister said the g.c.c. was showing solidarity in efforts to resolve conflict. qatar agreed to work in the g.c.c. to help egypt become a strong and stable country. the six states of the g.c.c. may have been through what some feel is a damning diplomatic spat. but they appear unified now. >> a new law comes into effect in japan, which could land journalist and whistleblowers in gaol for leaking state secrets. hundreds protested against the legislation, saying it infringes on basic freedom. the japanese government says it's necessary to convince allies to share intelligence. >> reporter: protesters gather outside prime minister shinzo abe's residence, calling on him to scrap the secrecy law, saying

it is draconian and antidemocratic. even though the secrecy law is going in effect, the other government of the ruling party don't want to draw too much attention it it. it's important that we mark it. under the new secrecy law whistleblowers who hand over state secrets get up to 10 years in gaol. journalists working with them can get five years in prison. opponents say the law is part of prime minister shinzo abe's agenda to revise japan's constitution. >> under this law, if you don't illegally give or leak secrets, if you solicit or conspire, it is possible to be tried for a crime. everyone's desire to know and find out things will wither away, and the desire to know important things about national politics will fade. >> japan's government says the

government needs the law in order to exchange secrets with allies like the united states. in order to tighten the nation's security in times of regional tension. >> the government willformly implement the law and make use of the fact that things must be revealed to parliament so the people's rite to know is not ipp fringed. >> the controversial law was passed in december. thousands of protesters formed a human chain around parliament. a year on, demonstrators feel just as strongly, and they say the danger of this law is that the government ultimately decides what is secret. victoria gaetan by al jazeera. let's get more from michael, with the institute of contemporary asia studies at the university in tokyo. joining us via skype from tokyo. good to have you with us on al jazeera. some concern that the government has not clearly defined what it

considers is state secret. has this law been left conveniently vague? >> it's got a strange formulation. it talks about four basic areas, which you can't argue with - defense, foreign relations, anti-spying and anti-terrorism activities. it says that 19 ministries and agencies, more than are normally involved in security are going to be able to declare things secret. and then there are all these subcategories of over 50 of them describing different kinds of information that may be considered secret. so a smart beaurocrat. if he didn't want something known by the public, would find a way of categorizing it as a state secret. >> why are we seeing this now. i mean, there are those in japan that felt the country was in control of sensitive intelligence was not adequate in the past.

is the law a reaction to that? i6789d there were incidents in the past when bureau grats leaked information, or politicians revealed something that was embarrassing to a government. the embarrassing case was a set of secret agreements between the united states and japan. which were related to the return of okayy nowa. the japanese government never admitted the secret agreements existed even after a reporter exposed them. two decades later the united states declassified the agreements and put it on display at the national archives, the japanese governments denied that these things occurred. some things can't be made public. mostly it's to avoid embarrassment. >> there has been protests

agates the law. what can people that are opposed to to do about it now, and do you expect any kind of backlash against it, given that it's taken ect in the middle of shasha's election -- shinzo abe's election campaign. >> it may cost a little support, not many. the most grey if japan is going to be a player, it has to have framework to make sure secrets are protect. this law is overboard and, more importantly, prosecutes reporters who may be uncovering snaps of government misfeasance. and at that point it's hard to justify. >> thank you for that. michael cucek joining us from tokyo. thank you

china gaoled a second senior figure in a week. the former deputy head of the planning agency was accused of receiving breebs. adrian brown has the latest from budget. >> leo was deputy head of the body that helps to steer china's vast economy. at his trial in september he was found guilty of accepting millions in bricks and broke down several times during the hearing saying he brought not just shame to the family but the communist party. he's been sentenced to life in jill. it would not have surprised ordinarily chinese people. since january this year 500 low ranking and government official have been arrested and charged with corruption. this partly the result of xi jinping's anticorruption

freed more than 80,000 working children, and that is why he's receiving the nobel peace prize. >> again, it's a surprise. but in a little while i realise that this is the biggest recognisition to the most neglected, to the nest invisible on the planet. it's not me. >> reporter: he gay up a career in engineering to campaign for children's rights. his work is often dangerous, confronting openers of factories and workshops to free bonded children and enrolled them in schools. this man is just one of these rescued children. through years ago when he was eight, he was found working in a brick kiln to support his family. >> i didn't know anything about school, what it was, or where the kids were going. now i'm settling in the fifth

grade and i know about a lot of things. >> the most vulnerable boys are brought here so they can go to school. looking at the children. it's clear that they have had remarkable success in preventing child labour in india. the government admits there's more than 4 million children in the country forced to work. >> rights advocates say the government must address the underlying causes of child slavery. >> it's making greater efforts in education. there's 8 million children out of school, primary school. a lot can be done there. >> despite his achievements, he, too, wants to do more. his dream is to ensure that every child is in school, and plans to make it come true in his lift. life-time. now, post people in the

capital of the maldives have not had running water for several days. the island's only desalination plant was dammed in a fire last week. as nicole johnson reports, lack of water is not the only problem facing the city. >> reporter: if you picture the maldives like this, you haven't been to its capital. it's noisy, chaotic and crowded. 130,000 maldifficultians live here, and around 50,000 workers from india and bangladesh, all crammed into two square kilometres of land. this is an environmental activist, and he's had enough of his city. everyone is bumping into each other. more traffic. it's too crowded and overpopulated, too much. resources are under pressure, there's no respect for the rubbish to go. it's loaded to a bathroom and

sent to another island. the groundwater is desalinated and it is not running. everyone is drinking from plastic bottles. everywhere that you look, there are people, cars, motorbikes and buildings. many say the cap fall is too expensive and it's no longer a niece place to live. however a 20 minute ferry ride away, there's a mistake. for 10 years of the government and investors have been developing a new island. it has widestreets, quiet parks and not many people. however, that is changing, and the man made island will become larger by reclaiming more land. it could become home to 160,000 people, turning it into a new commercial capital. >> there are opportunities here.

once it is done, this will be the chose for everyone. >> this is the new home. he packed up his family and moved here a year ago. the rent is half the press of a czar pleas in the capital. there are plenty of lifestyle benefits. >> we are very happy on the island. that is why i change my life. >> >> reporter: back in mali this, is one of the few places left where you can get away from it all. sadly it's a man made beach. developers poured concrete over the natural ones decades ago. still ahead - in the footsteps of bruce lee. meet afghanistan's wonder. hoping to make it big. in sport, find out one of
