donna mowbray alaska and ukraine for 5 years in. the hospital when the highly highly highly actually laughed at the what deeds in the i love promise oma been out there or being us at this. sort of battle my mom had been mostly subtle but. let's look at it and akira libby's information about so-called weapons of mass destruction is widely thought to have been used by the u.s. as evidence of saddam hussein's possession of w m d's in iraq one less thing you pointed out that you were warned i believe by the egyptian president mubarak i believe what barak told to tommy you know tommy franks that saddam had biological weapons they were ready yeah but everybody thought he had the international community has clearly demonstrated that it is fed up why is it that a process which has been going on for 12 years trying to disarm iraq from its
9:01 pm
weapons of mass destruction this report by libyan intelligence the external security organization or so shows details of a meeting with the cia. as it plans to invade saddam hussein's iraq in 2003 the u.s. needed to prepare public opinion for the attack getting libya on govt is key to that strategy. but the iraq war went badly for the western allies. no evidence of dangerous weapons was found and the lack of a post-war strategy plunged the country into calles. gadhafi then seized the moment in a dramatic bid to ingratiate himself with the west and have sanctions on libya lifted he claimed to have w m d's and offered to surrender them. desperate
9:02 pm
to put a positive spin on their mission to destroy weapons in the middle east the u.s. and u.k. led the way in rehabilitating gadhafi almost overnight. libya was no longer. part of the axis of evil. in return a lucrative oil and gas deal was signed and it was then that the cia and m i 6 began increasing their rendition of libyan dissidents to the gadhafi regime jubilation a vehicle that out of a 0. 100 for a value of the home. but it's now thought the relationship between the head of the e.s.o. . and western intelligence went back much earlier than the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of iraq the problem between the 2 states gathered pace after 911.
9:03 pm
british intelligence held a meeting with music you said in the week after 911 and the following november november 2000 a while british and libyan intelligence officers held a summit over several days at a hotel as an airport in europe and the german austrian intelligence officers also present and there was a growing agreement at that point that the libyans could be quite useful to the west being useful to the west was what gadhafi was aiming for and the west fell for it but at a price. rendition. this 2012 human rights watch report delivers into enemy hands details the process and several cases including that in our sake and libya. it was an agreement reached that the british and the libyans will start recruiting agents jointly. from the
9:04 pm
libyan agents who would would help and spy on al qaida. the rehabilitation of gadhafi took place under british prime minister tony blair. 20 gordon brown to go over from blair in june 2007 the friendly momentum continues and. the london based human rights organization reprieve has closely monitored rendition for many years. lawyer corey creator specialized in cases involving libya. you remember and the deal in the desert in 2004 is that davi says oh wow i'm joining the community of nations everybody was right you know the war on i've looked at iraq and you know i don't want to go that way and all the rest of it so this president has given to him but the reality is of course what happened after that the sanctions were lifted british petroleum and other companies were able to
9:05 pm
come in and start doing business to the tune of millions in fact billions of dollars i'll just 0 made request to interview tony blair in $24.00 team but his office said he was not available. the producers also asked to interview former british foreign minister jack straw who was responsible for british intelligence 6 at the time of the rendition but his office said he didn't have time. neither was therefore able to shed light on when dishan cases like that of. shaken libby was returned in to the libyan custody and. you know we met him 2 weeks before he supposedly kit committed suicide in his cell. and when that happened we raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death. we were concerned that it was not actually a suicide libby was allowed a single visit from his family in april 2009 while in libyan detention this video
9:06 pm
shows him opponent lee comfortable and his family had. no reason to suspect he might soon take his own life if you should injured injured in the desert and need no. hollywood. father who will. work in the law liquor will enter a limit or con is only had bad and the one i'm sure i'd like to hear. then mr darrow this we at. another what in the event of one bill and we can own the land of the hubble in up. with the other what the what that. dumb animal can hannah up to who are somewhere up on somewhat of a ship how would a number economy. or when we have more highly was

9:08 pm
we have many opportunities to deepen and broaden our cooperation and i'm very much looking forward to. building on this relationship so mr minister welcome so much here thanks for the late. for that certainly not to be our when he comes to know what was it's and what can be can you look at a for something that can last for a year. it's difficult and we can. stated that. human rights watch asked for an investigation into libby's suicide but he was berg and no libyan inquiry was held into his death. so the photographs are very disturbing and when reportedly committed suicide in may be in prison and we question whether that was really a suicide and the photographs reveal things that make it seem as though you know that it might not have the get him in the bin a suicide. gadhafi never allowed any form of opposition within libya.
9:09 pm
a prominent dissident group was the libyan islamic fighting group the l i f g who gadhafi accused of having links to al qaida. can little rock. give you one hell of. the. yeah gladly will help. that gadhafi is jails had an appalling reputation for mistreatment and torture particularly of political prisoners this mobile phone video purports to have been shot in abu salim prison in tripoli. human rights watch and amnesty international have both reported hundreds of deaths in abu salim although the figures have never been independently verified or human remains found if western intelligence services
9:10 pm
knowingly colluded in the torture of libyan dissidents in this way they certainly have a case towards. the western agenda was to establish a connection between saddam hussein and al qaeda whereas gadhafi wanted to link libyan dissident groups to walk a. little less interested in. the new relationship with gadhafi spread and there are allegations that he illegally funded a nicolas sarkozy's 2007 french presidential campaign sarkozy has been charged with illegal campaign financing he denies the charges and the case is yet to reach the french courts gadaffi was welcomed across europe a far cry from his eighty's image as quote the mad dog of the middle east.

9:22 pm
the case was still going on well the key documents that we saw where what appeared to be facts is an correspondence between firstly what appeared to be from m i 6 to the libyan authorities notifying them of the presence of john king about how to his wife fatima at that time in malaysia well the government has sent very blank defenses so far basically saying. what tonight the events even those events that is supported by the documentation and what they have instead done is try to get the case struck out of course by saying that because the allegations involve the u.s. and other states in libya malaysia. that it would be the cause here don't have jurisdiction to deal with it that it would be wrong because he possibly
9:23 pm
criticized the actions of other states at 1st the u.k. government basically said you can't hear these cases at all here in britain because it will harm our relationship with the united states the americans will be terribly upset about it and so forth about it in fear of the hoist or. why then. if you have a magna x. amount of us and i want. to freeze and then i buy a car going to where. she mostly has osha to work on my washing. the hull 2 for bob and family mother to have usually normally 7 cars over to my. mother when i only have. one of the thousands of papers found after the revolution in 2011 was this one marked top secret it refers to libya u.s.
9:24 pm
cooperation and to a list of names of so-called traitors which was given to the americans. at all food meaning. american what i think isn't as well for unseeing well it's only willingly and it's the money. and. little to put on. someone bad then. the one will be in your brain and your family. and was about something really really sickly a. bit on the card well a bit on the hardest libya obviously. really kind of open and. one of. many where they had that a yemeni but. lisa only. in
9:25 pm
the can sleep. in she has the whole of the appointed when he finally. asked for her to see the 30. i want to lift the levy. was. one of the most significant finds in tripoli was a letter written by so mark allen then head of counterintelligence at m i 6 march 2004 to the head of the libyan p.s.o. . it says quote i congratulate you on the safe arrival of saudi meaning. this was the least we could do for you and for libya to demonstrate the remarkable relationship we have built over the years i am so glad that the british security services the cia and the libyans kidnapped
9:26 pm
children between the ages of 6 and 12 and sent them to. i know what i say it's you know what and the. one. that i was born on more than me well maybe. what they need. the civil cases are vaudeville hockey and some real saadi run side by side but also already accepted an offer of compensation by the british government bell harsh however wanted a full apology from the government the former foreign secretary and former head of counterintelligence at m i 6 the british government settled that case in december 2012 for 2200000 pounds to my home in. then. out of the. and.
9:27 pm
so i think that we know really what the truth is here and that the british government knows that it has a case to answer. won't accept such a settlement because he wants an apology he's made it clear that he wants he wants a bit of good will to politicize what was going to have and also what was done to his wife mr bahamas for his part he's offered to drive his case and walk away from his civil court case for just 3 pounds one from some are counted one from jack straw and one from the government and an apology and that's the real problem the british government is worried about apologizing because they feel that if they do that there's a risk that former security service people who were involved in this kidnapping might be prosecuted in my going to jail and one of the even who are and i think if a nurse we have thought we have to do one. and if you believe that this we are going to america are all. on board be. if this were mainly
9:28 pm
i was sceptical we learned in the effort to have a number one of 2 when you're going to knock out the thought and often we have. to many where we are to then i'm here we're in the himalayas if it is proved that british officials did torture anyone whether in the u.k. or parole board or involved complicit in that torch head they need to be held to account under criminal law in the case i'm actually pretty confident that the supreme court of britain is going to say that of course torture victims have to have their day in court but the reality is the government will always seek to delay it's an incredibly embarrassing case what case could be more embarrassing than british security services kidnapping pregnant ladies and sending them back to dictators like it off it doesn't get any worse for them 3 while the british government settled with something else saudi the us government appears so far to have ignored the whole rendition issue even though papers discovered in 2011 point
9:29 pm
clearly to their involvement. according to human rights watch documents show that the cia kidnapped khaled our saif and most of our marketing and rendered them to the libyans the men say they were detained and interrogated in afghanistan for over a year. the documents that were from we found in the libyan intelligence ministry were very troubling they showed a level of cooperation between the united states the united kingdom and the cia in their rendition of a number unlawful rendition of a number of individuals who were enemies of gadhafi back to libya it shows a deep level of collusion between the u.s. and the u.k. and libya it rendering individuals into gadhafi as hands at a time when we knew that gadhafi was mistreating abusing detainees in custody you saw our team. just the man in an alarm or does he.
9:30 pm
live europe about him about that you will. not work as human to sharpen i want you know i would and we walk arm. and they. are till i did mean in the minute nash i was and when he mark and they are back in my car then the men include gaydamak and i've had a monopoly of us over that they can the men. only about what i'm in. or by the way that has either come out of the united states believes and promotes itself as a country that believes in the rule of law and abides by its international legal obligations but we know for a fact that the u.s. has not done so in many cases especially with regards to its detention practices. in. the year or say they have them.
9:31 pm
obviously move. with their behavior with the comes ashore can you made it more difficult for the bush administration to carry out its program of torture they continued to do so but in a different kind of way. and since. the president obama took office he did ban the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and actually has called the practices that occurred during the cia torture program torture the u.s. unlawfully rendered numerous individuals into libyan custody where they knew that they were going to be. they were going to be likely tortured and abused but in addition before they even did that they held several of them in cia detention and tortured them brutally themselves so yes it's a double standard and a double standard that the u.s. absolutely has to account for if it ever wants to put this dark chapter in its
9:32 pm
history behind it and the muslim in america. and the meticulous and. move them of the who are. human rights words or one of them to the with the what was al-jazeera to the cia to comment on all of these allegations but they did not reply. there's evidence that it wasn't just british and american intelligence who colluded with the libyans canada may have also been involved most of a korea a canadian citizen of libyan descent says he was tracked kidnapped and rendered to libyan intelligence he says he was accused of having links with so-called international terrorism but that this has never been proved. it is melissa to move. mood and he would marry me and

9:37 pm
a lot i don't know us but i all jazeera asked the canadian security intelligence service to comment on most of her clothes allegation they replied to say they do not comment publicly on specific cases but they are that our exchanges with foreign agencies are always guided by a playable law ministerial direction and a robust suite of internal policies all to ensure that c.s.i.s. is not complicit directly or indirectly in the mistreatment of any individual and that everything we do to keep canada's safe is consistent with canadian values al-jazeera came across another case that of abraham we see another libyan opponent of gadhafi this time in our land. he says he was detained for questioning by the irish authorities before the visit of george w. bush to arm in june 2004 this led to media stories saying he had links to al
9:38 pm
qaida. but the. death of them well that and we don't have much. all. to him at that mark. and that might. help a little illuminate learn the lesson more on what they. all want to doria or the commission on it most of what ork of it he said that he. can feast officious can be in otoh how many or most or all of the diffusion i had thought that interview with down. america we love the. or yeah i mean. what if it was like oh so i'm
9:39 pm
fighting. all boosie is says that none of the charges against him in ireland was ever proved but that he was nevertheless put under house arrest and subject to travel restrictions. on something that you know they have their credit but. we need to see assia. but i thought i thought i love the love so far at least all i need to have mac that's my but that's the looks ignitions. kind of telling me that and number 2 i think we have a. link a lot of old but it was said by really human who looked at it. and the message cut they were afraid i think i'm 70 i think the stuff that doesn't make it here i am a buffet and i'm
9:40 pm
a whole american the unlit help or talk of me out of. the south oh i thought of some of the short talk of the new senate but very kind of has a good look i don't know if it helped and not the offical move the. al-jazeera asked the irish authorities to comment on mr albritton your statement the justice ministry replied to say that they do not comment on individual cases they went on to say that given the international lakeshore of threat from jihad this type of terrorism the authorities here work closely on an ongoing basis with their international counterparts in identifying and managing threats in this area. to for revenge is a dish best served cold in the 40 years it took the hockey. meanwhile back in the u.k.
9:41 pm
the. just as had been turning in the case of our. lives. on the 10th of may 28th there was a dramatic development. the head of the british government prime minister to resign may sent a letter of apology to bell harsh and his wife fatima and in the british parliament the senior lawyer the attorney general made an announcement. on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal that you both suffered and our role in. the house had been waiting 14 years for this moment so his response was direct you are the one good if only you. and i feel if you were to very her. be would be there was a t. and no one would have any if it is the fact that you had the visual. fatima and
9:42 pm
their lawyers showed the prime minister's letter of apology to the assembled journalists. the u.k. lost its way when i got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and then to get off it just didn't but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recognizing its mistakes and by apologizing. it's important to note that although the british government apologized for rendering the baha g.'s to libya former foreign minister jack straw and former head of counterintelligence today my 6 so mark allen have not admitted personal responsibility or any wrongdoing in the case of god. and fatima bush. furthermore in october 20th the former head of libyan intelligence. publicly denied any complicity in the torture of political detainee. in 1900. massacre at abu salim prison.
9:43 pm
al-jazeera spoke to corey krieger after the british government apology for me the most important moment when the british government apologized and may was the part of the prime minister's letter where she essentially says we believe you. abdullah came in fact and i had to relive the absolute bottom the worst moments of their lives for 6 and a half years to fight this case and we know how survivors of torture and abuse like theirs are often silenced and disbelieved so for the prime minister of the united kingdom to say in her apology we believe what you have said we believe that the cia and the libyans tortured you that for me it was the most powerful moment i don't think that the apology does totally close the rendition issue altogether for under the human fatuma it does it ends the chapter it ends the case they are satisfied that's the end of it but this isn't just a historical issue anymore is it so for example we know that gina has somebody who
9:44 pm
is at the very heart of the american torture and rendition program has been promoted to be director of the cia now and we also know that all around the world there are still security agencies with which the u.s. and the u.k. cooperate every day who torture prisoners so right now as we speak in yemen the united arab emirates is running black sites in which detainees are tortured and which rape is used as a technique of torture and these are people within the u.s. and the u.k. is in coalition and so i think that there's a real moral ethical and legal question for the security services in the u.s. and the u.k. about how closely they're going to fly to abusive security agencies and what the line in the sand is really going to be. the prime minister's apology may have restored the british government's reputation showing it was willing to try to right previous wrong. about how did not to be for the tenacity of human rights lawyers it may never have been achieved and the same cannot be said of m i 6 and the cia
9:45 pm
8 years old from the death of gadhafi it's worth remembering that not every opponent of the gadhafi regime and victim of unlawful rendition by western television staging scenes as a joint to say come. my favs simmons was all. taken by the chinese government all i want to stay with my sound stay with my wife that's all i want this is a really human rights abuses of our time we decided to talk about it. just. tell the world. the truth about china systematic repression of the week is. tell the world coming soon on al-jazeera.
9:46 pm
hello welcome to look at the international forecast with the usual rush of showers through the amazon fight in try for good parts of eastern brazil but i think cloud into northern parts of argentina if anything that will thicken up further to go through the next couple of days expect to see some wet weather coming through here not as its way across the river plate 18 celsius therefore i want to say i was saying it slides right up towards bolivia as we go on in sea where monday if anything it in hans's further pushes a little further northward southeast and possibly still along with europe why seeing some rather weather temperatures struggling to get to 12 degrees one to say

9:52 pm
a huge military attack on that has come under heavy bombardment 3 days at least now . we understand the population which. majority at least. fled as that offensive began we're also hearing that. the they could well be over reports on going fighting around the town of. russell i now that is the other highly significant to have for this to sit on the eastern side of this initial operation saying that yesterday the military actually said they had taken full control of the russell line they swarming. in fact it had to retreat a little bit after facing a strong a counterattack by the s.b.a. . and as i say we now understand the street to street fighting is going on
9:53 pm
i mean interestingly now i'm looking at this the 1st time we've seen anything like this since this event began but certainly the media here has been joined by a couple 100 people waving flags suggesting obviously celebrations. may well be on the control that you have forces but the situation historic syrian rebel forces the situation here is very fluid at the moment. at a statement made by the spokesperson for e.s.p.n. stuff about early giving a press conference and this is very significant and possibly an indication of kind of pressure the school siege around the across the border he says with all options in front a democratic syria is available including dialogue with the syrian regime moscow the arab league the e.u. and iran any cold on the u.s. president trumps a little
9:54 pm
a negotiation process with. the president thinks about any idea like that in terms of negotiations he said that he's not going to negotiate with what he describes as terrorists. terry hundreds. in criticizing western leaders suggest that should be done and we will see in recent days as well from the syrian regime. may the vice president's wife storm and so apologizes in syria saying that there's no way that. they are such government would negotiate with what he described as separatists and try to. militarily a very fluid situation but certainly it seems as if a lot is going on in the last. 12 or so ounces. charlie wilkie tell us about various reports and claims of eisel escapees here we call them break outs whether
9:55 pm
from howard camp or the families all from other areas or jails. well certainly the s.d.s. . issue really said that around a 100 people affiliated with high school had escaped from this prison in a place called lining. and they said the prison had come under fire. they say had to pull back and they say that escapes were made by as i say around 100 people they described in this being family members affiliated with. incarcerated eisel trying to now we have subsequently reports that back number may well be a lot greater. now reports. 800 foreign affiliated foreigners affiliated with. may have escaped from that prison
9:56 pm
as well the situation as i say it's very difficult for the moment what we do know is what the s.d.f. are pete saying for a number of days now that if they did come on the side or any any prison was threatened any prison with ice a prison it was threatened by this offensive and they could not be responsible for those prisoners they said that their priority as you had said that their priority was defending their people and their land but obviously a very worrying development because this is still a huge focus. many leaders around the world am concerned about the kind of security of the cations that this offensive could have on the global find against terror. a child suffered from a chuckle a. now pakistan's prime minister is trying to mediate between iran and saudi arabia iran can made the comments following a meeting with iran's president has an rouhani into her own karma set to travel on
9:57 pm
to riyadh on tuesday he says he's hopeful of a breakthrough soon iran is a neighbor. toys with iran the long way back. saudi arabia. has been one of our closest friends saudi arabia is hopeless when we have needed when we have been in need and so the reason for the strip that we do not want a conflict between saudi arabia and iran we recognize that it's a complex issue we recognize that. but we feel. that this can be resolved through dialogue. we discussed recent developments related to the middle east region particularly to the persian gulf and the theory of armaan as we believe they are very critical regions for the gulf and the whole region we also emphasized
9:58 pm
on the strengthening of stability and more peace in the region. well i said begg joins us now live from teheran so 1st of all what sort of proposals do we know were discussed today. well imran khan has been trying to mediate put together a meeting since the united nations general assembly in new york last month where he met on the sidelines president rouhani now this is a 2nd meeting that's taken place between the 2 leaders and in non-con spoke about the historic ties but also said that this is an initiative by pakistan that no one has told to carry this out and box on does not want to see a conflict in the region that a war between iran and saudi arabia would have global impacts you talked about the crease of oil prices the money spent on the one and the effect on civilian lives but you also thanked iran for the support over the years and also said that president donald trump had asked iran contra act as a go between or as
9:59 pm
a mediator between to ron and washington now we know that iran is open to negotiations iran is open to talks as president rouhani said but we are not entirely sure how they are going to move forward president rouhani said that they acknowledge pakistan's gestures that dialogue is the way forward but any country that thought that it could cause instability in the region was terribly mistaken he also said that this should be an end to the war in yemen that civil war that's been going on for 4 years with saudi arabian emirates are supporting one side and iran are supporting the hutu rebels he said that this should be an immediate cease fire and humanitarian assistance but also called on the united states to return to the j.c. p.o. a that important 2015 nuclear deal that the united states pulled out of last year and he called the sanctions economic terrorism and said that those sanctions should be lifted so iran khan is trying very hard to put together some talks between riyadh and that iran but there is
10:00 pm
a lot of tension especially since for the 14th of september when those saudi aramco oil facilities were attacked by the hutu rebels who claimed responsibility for it but saudi arabia blamed iran but so tensions are high it's a massive task ahead of them. all right thanks so much as a bake there let's bring in our iran analyst our in the rock he joins us live from the british capital london good to have you with us so 1st of all do you think it non-con can pull this one off. i think it so it remains open but there is more of an appetite for. increasing detente between iran and saudi arabia than there has been in recent years namely because with fear campaign of maximum pressure which trump has introduced sanctions. has that iran to want to exact a cost on those sanctions.
