a u.s. report based on interviews with former detainees says afghan prisoners were abused at a secret military detention center in afghanistan the claims include strip searches sleep deprivation and the lack of food for some date from this year despite president obama's pledge to clean up prison practices and this from marty's going to church again. it's important to remember that those detainees are not the first ones to report about this secret prison at the american military base in afghanistan were all sorts of different sorts of abuses were reportedly going on we've heard about this alleged so-called black jail before but a u.s. foundation that is called the open society foundations based in new york well they have recently interviewed eighteen former detainees and their descriptions perfectly coincide with earlier reports on this black jail in of ghana's that they're saying that the cells were so cold that it was like cold sleeping in the fridge also they had dried lights on twenty four seven they're saying they were
3:06 am
given food that was impossible to eat also they were unable to practice their religion well most claimed they had been detained in those conditions for months although u.s. rules for detention set a limit of two weeks anyway if those accusations are true that it clearly violates u.s. rules u.s. and international laws on detention political implications of this could be even more upsetting as we know when obama became president he claimed a very tough stance against inhumane detention conditions that american military prisons he wanted to shut down the prison at guantanamo bay in cuba but never came true he also pledged improvements in detainee conditions in afghanistan some improvements have been seen like reporters were allowed to tour the main detention facility in afghanistan the red cross was granted a better access to the detainees there happy seeing certain reforms carried out since two thousand and nine but what is interesting how few of those interviewed by
3:07 am
this foundation for this recent report on abuses in afghanistan are saying they were detained after the changes the reforms had been implemented that could cast a shadow on the obama administration's widely popular detention reforms so despite the announced changes there's not much disclosure on what's going on at some classified detention detention sites there there are only accounts of people who have been there the u.s. military denies the existence of any black jails. there the president has wrapped up his controversial trip to lebanon having stirred up emotions in the neighboring israel and the u.s. is growing support for the military has been up before ending the visit of the. group's leader reportedly handed him a gun that was taken israeli soldiers earlier i mean a child lashed out at israel saying zionists will be defeated for palestine forcefully freend his comments were made just kilometers away from the border with

israel sparking protests there and criticism in the u.s. . in the middle east politics and security experts says that america's anger at the visit is partly aimed distracting the world from the vast presence it still has in the region. as well as weapons are a bit of a strategic surprise and we saw that in two thousand and six where they launched antiship missiles and had a certain degree of technological advantage when it came to anti-tank weapons as well but in addition to the thirty thousand or so missiles that hezbollah has supposedly rearmed itself with since the two thousand and six conflict i think the iranian deals are far more interesting in terms of the welfare aspects they spent over a billion dollars reconstructing large parts of southern beirut there was a energy deal signed between the iranian foreign minister and the lebanese energy minister could provide much needed gas and all supplied to a electrical infrastructure here in lebanon that is on its legs really and i think that is much more interesting in terms of iran's use of soft power to improve its relations with lebanon rather than simply weapons alone there is

a crescendo of violence regards to the iranian u.s. relationship currently in the middle east and the u.s. has not fully exited iraq it still has some fifty thousand troops on the ground there if you include special forces and the largest embassy u.s. embassy in the world this is a presence that aims to have a strategic effect in influencing which direction iraq goes and of course a reminder to the neighbor in iran that the u.s. has not accepted the region but remains on alert there instead the problem we have is that the competence. the iraqi military is in stark contrast to the incompetency of the iraqi political elite and government bear in mind we have had no government in iraq for a record breaking time over seven months now the newly rebuilt u.s. sponsored iraqi army number some six hundred fifty thousand if you include the border guard in the police americans are in a weapons spending spree at the moment in the middle east they're just finishing off a sixty billion dollars deal with the saudis and i've spent over sold over ten billion dollars worth of weapons to the iraqis since the war including high tech equipment

in the area and exactly as high among residents who are still reeling from the devastating hurricane season two years ago. the u.s. is being ran to the lowest for providing proper access to justice for civilians compared to ten other developed countries a study says it's mainly wealthy americans who get the privilege of having the legal system behind them ortiz preassure the takes a look at why the civil justice system is out of reach for the average american. the united states of america land of freedom and equality a place where all citizens have equal access to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for us to try to make sure the change in liberty in the freedom that you had in the past not if you ask the tea partiers and while many might wonder what exactly they've been complaining about it looks like they might be on to something according to a new report by the world justice project the united states ranks the lowest out of
3:12 am
eleven developed countries when it comes to access to civil justice and less than one in five low income americans gets the legal assistance they need wealthier people get good lawyers private lawyers they get out of whatever they were accused of and the same accusation against a low income person of color will lead them to jail for lengthy periods of time i don't look like the good old u.s. of a doesn't stack up when it comes to other factories either out of the nine factories that the project looked into from absence of corruption to limited government power to an effective criminal system the united states ranked seventh or below out of eleven countries in all areas except for one but then we really need a report to prove that the united states isn't all it's cracked up to be let's take a look at the justice system it's not just low income americans that don't have access to legal services many argue that african-americans are unfairly prosecuted
3:13 am
to the states we have this terrible problem with american bigotry racism bigotry class bigotry within the system a system not next in the system a white capital supremacy where we still have a large part of the population celebrate that white people are superior to black people every day americans witness shocking stories of police brutality and police departments across the country are shelling out sometimes up to one billion dollars as is the case in new york city to settle cases many. having to do with brutality everybody interacts with the police and you think that they're there to serve and protect us but you know police officers need to understand that they swear an oath to the constitution and the number one important factor they should provide in their job is constitutional protection for the citizens of this country i think that's been lost and what about limited government powers the united states ranks ninth out of the eleven developed countries when it comes to that the national legal and policy center recently found that the white house might be spying on
3:14 am
americans on facebook twitter and other social media websites and not too long ago president obama resigned the patriot act that allows the government to spy on americans and seize personal records and private data in the name of homeland security we now know and the federal government has admitted that homeland security's main focus is not. the main focus and the war activists quakers conservatives libertarians land rights activist g.m.o. activist it's basically everybody and while the united states wages wars abroad to bring freedom and democracy to other countries many say it need not look beyond its own borders to find problems to solve and here we are going around the world. and invading other countries to bring democracy to them when we really should be focusing on improving our democracy here at home. and irony that may just

houses in the lonely older people people don't put as much of themselves into the places where they live now a days but this quiet decline goes well with the cool delicate nature of the place . not everybody enjoys the outdoors enquires contemplation of a job with signals the start of the hunting season it brings in hunters from all over russia but also money for the local forestry commission for licenses to shoot for their buck i mean even bear. the hunt is carefully choreographed shooters take up positions on a range several hundred feet away from each other then beat and there's the woods on the other side when his dog the take the scent they begin to chase the animal flushing him out and presenting an easy target for the shooters. well at least in theory on this occasion nature spared its offspring and after three drives no game
3:18 am
was killed in the group that was more than well you can never guess the hunt is a hunt but the forests here are teeming with animals so the hunters bury pickers and fisherman leave the woods allow nature to rule over its domain but tomorrow they will return because whatever city's offer its nature they still depend on. party not good region. still to come in are typical of elves cross-talk guests will be locking horns in a few minutes first though the business news with stephanie. hello and welcome to the business bulletin a group of top fund managers say the global economy is risking much worse than the events of the past three years eighteen investment experts say their views are being widely ignored by the media so they've published them instead in their book the gathering storm artes nor emmitsburg to co-author patrick young to ask what
3:19 am
governments and central banks are doing wrong. we've spent the last twenty years at an all you can eat buffet and we've basically kept eating and kept eating and eating and now we're food and i think the problem with that central banking is all about effectively when the party gets going the central bank must remove the punch bowl well what's actually happened here is you know ben bernanke up the point where we got to one minute to midnight instead of closing the party dine he brought everybody inside locked them up and pushed their faces into the punchbowl and made them drink more and therefore it's very very difficult because really we have a fundamental problem because actually the central bankers themselves are ultimately being controlled by the politicians i mean i realize we have this sort of rather elegant concept that they're politically independent but ultimately they're appointed by politicians they have to deal with politicians every day of their lives and therefore they are to some greater or lesser degree controlled by them and i think that's clearly evident for example when we look at mr tree shape
3:20 am
at the european central bank he's very capable he's making clear statements which i think of being the right kind of policy but then ultimately he's been undermined by the government all around the u.s. is now has announced a new way of course it is a. government that withdrawing. this is diametrically opposite this approach this is how is that possible we've got ben bernanke the helicopter ben as i think you'll go on history he's going to quantitatively anything he possibly can but i think one of the most important things we have to look at is also the fact of not just what the banks are doing in one direction but actually what the banks are demanding and i think it's interesting that for example when portugal decided it needed to build one of the large supranational banks doing well they're not taking their paper they're actually demanding gold so they want hard fixed assets and that's therefore rather worrying within europe the difficulty is that quantitative easing is going to be difficult to achieve because effectively they've spent all the money anyway
3:21 am
so therefore there's nothing more to spend going forward what do we see what a childhood. themselves again in the way that's the difficulty it doesn't just go away with one recession unless it's a very short sharp recession i mean countries like for example the baltic states some of the parts of eastern europe because they're at a completely different fears of the developmental cycle and therefore they have got the opportunity to point but in the relatively bloated and wealthy large state economy countries of western europe it's going to be very very difficult to turn not wronged and it seems rather ironic actually that in the post communist world it actually many nations in eastern europe that are actually better equipped to move forward than necessarily the nations in the west that was patrick young a co-author of the gathering storm. let's take a quick look at how the equity markets are performing asian stocks are falling on friday that is the dollar strengthens and four hundred clients on facebook of recovery is pulling financials away on the nikkei following
