let's here more from peter greste. >> i thought that this was going to be the day. i think all of us did. it's not unheard of, but it is unusual for the courts to delay verdicts. we have also seen so many unexpected twists and turns in this trial that i've given up trying to say anything for certain. i guess we should look forward to august 8th as the verdicts day, but not expect it to happen on that day. the only thing that any of us are concerned about at this point is the verdicts. that's the thing that defines our live from that moment on, we can't make plans or be sure about our ability to travel. mohammed badr and mohamed fadel fahmy - it's the point they either walk away as free men or go back to prison. absolutely everything hinges on the a day. to have the twists and turns

>> this hugely controversial bill is now law and what it means is that security prisoners, these are prisoners that israel convicted or suspects of what it calls terrorism relth charges. it allows for a certain amount of force to be used by prisoners if they refuse to be force-fed. most on hunger strikes are in administrative detention. what does it mean - they are held without charge, and renewable under a plilt imilitary course. most of the hunger strike cases are from those that haven't been charge, and the bill, parliament said to show this, rather than foors feeding them, charge or release them. a huge back rash from israel's medical community saying it amounts to torture, going against medical ethics, beliefs, and urge doctors not to do it. a doctor we spoke to equated it

too rape. we put it to one of the men involved in drafting the bill. he said it's not about force-feeding but medical help. they don't want to prisoners to die. if you look at the numbers on the ground no prisoner died from a hunger strike. there has been cases where prisoners died because they were force-fed. >> the iraqi government has be fied alleges that it tart tours prisoners. official are questioned by those suspecting human rights abuses. we speak to imran khan, in baghdad. imran khan reports. >> the iraqis face tough questions. they denied the charms in a statement issued to al jazeera, they said they do not torture people and there's no evidence to contradict that. however, there is a legal problem when it comes to the iraqi constitution. torture is not clearly defined.

some say it's a deliberate measure to allow them to get away with opening secret prisons and torturing iraqi prisoners. there's plenty ofized on this. we have reports from human rights watch, amnesty international and other groups, about the secret drivens, there has been testimony from those inside the prisons alleging that they have been tortured when haider al-abadi took power after nouri al-maliki, he said he would clean house. we haven't seen a huge amount coming on in relation to the secret prisons of torture. the iraqis denied all of that. various human rights groups put out public statements and evidence to suggest that those tortured - torture techniques are used and secret prisons are in existence.
