civilians russia and china both abstained from supporting the u.n. resolution in march both countries met in moscow friday if in a picture of was there for r.t. . i asked the russian foreign minister at a press conference today what he thought about the idea of including russia in this international content. towards their goal of there in russia's view only. the which isn't trusted with their resolutions and one is hearing the implementation of such as the years security council and that any country member to the u.n. which signed under its charter is supposed to call on all other resolutions and the foundational haunted with believe any god it is simply not needed is available speech. so it's a contact group has established itself and now is trying to take responsibility for what lee international communities policy towards libya should be and not only libya we're hearing voices calling for this group to decide what to do in other

states in the region we believe that all sides should be focusing on the peaceful resolution of the situation and not supporting one side in an internal conflict what is essentially a civil war those comments were made at a joint press conference by the russian foreign minister and the chinese foreign minister there we are and we see that russia and china are coordinating their voices in major international advance and the most recent example. that was in march when they pulled abstained in the no fly zone vote on leave and what the two countries feared might happen as a result of an international intervention is happening now we see casualties i was started as an ant rest appears to be a bitter war between get out his forces and rebels but russia and china and again they stressed it today believe that nato is going far beyond its un mandate by even considering it on grounds of gratian in libya and minding the rising number of casualties and leaving it's likely that both russia and china would be to any un

resolution which would place ground troops in libya still to come this of us are indicators torturing techniques saying it hopes. to forward target it says followed questioning methods of american detention centers only serve to fill the ranks of the details in just a few minutes for. the first quarter sentence of nationalists to murder the human rights lawyer and a journalist to life in prison his accomplice was given eighteen years in jail. as this report. well it is a very unusual case because really it's one of the first times that the perpetrators of hate crimes were not only tried but also convicted and given quite lengthy prison terms no crimes extremely difficult to investigate and prosecute and this was one of the reasons why people implicated in hate crimes are usually tried on odds are trying our just ranging from homicide sometimes cool again is man

as a result they got away with lighter sentences but these cases different because one of the defendants we keep to who was convicted of two murders that whole thing is law for california prominent human rights lawyer and all the necessity aboveboard of our freelance reporter of for nobody gets a guy killer was sentenced to a maximum prison term that is a lot of imprisonment now he's associated and girlfriend you give me a hassid. who was found guilty of acting as an accomplice to the murder of marc caliph she was sentenced to eighteen years in prison now that's a big lauzon the prosecution was asking for but that's still quite a lengthy prison term now the mutually plan to kill only it's the newest law for calico was a very well known human rights lawyer here in russia he was walking down

a street to reason here is a mattress station and asked to see above were kompany for him to ask a couple of questions and that was one both of them were approached by and killed in broad daylight in a very cold blooded manner now the only point i would like to add is that despite being called the russian born in quiet and they actually use these a moment cried a big during the trial they showed a lot of attraction for each other holding hands keys thing sharing jokes but this was very painful for the families of the victims and they. they're really after the media not to remember size based crime because if these two individuals despite all their affection for each other actually killed two very bright people and they committed the crime in a very callous manner. foyle's apparently seized in the raid that killed osama bin laden suggest that he remained closely involved in al-qaeda terror plots it's one of the justifications from the u.s. government over its handling of the logons killing is going to change cohen

explains the volatile questioning of terror suspects is also being lauded for helping america get its most wanted. putting a pretty face on the years of torture and abuse of the law u.s. officials talk about the efficiency of enhanced interrogation techniques as they call them in locating bin ladin we obtain that information through waterboarding and so for those who say that waterboarding does it work and say that it should be struck in the use again we got vital information which directly where as to why are you denying that waterboarding was in and part of the tactics used to extract the intelligence that led to the successful mission no i think some of the detainees clearly were you know they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees no tangible proof has been presented as to how torture helped the petain valuable intelligence on bin laden although a detainee named cally cheik muhammad was reported to have provided information on a courier that led to bin laden's capture intelligence sources say he repeatedly

misled interrogators about the couriers identity and stalled the quest for years he was water boarded one hundred eighty three times what we're seeing is that waterboarding enhanced interrogation techniques just like professional interrogators have been saying for years always result and in either limited information false information or no information the laying of the groundwork if you will of these techniques basically i believe wholeheartedly slowed us down on the road towards some of the numerous other members of al qaeda not not just in london in i'm convinced we would have found them a lot earlier had we not resorted to torture and abuse attempts to justify torture seem outrageous to those who have been unjustly subjected to inhumane treatment that u.s. prisons overseas were not colonels was captured in pakistan in two thousand and one

he was working for and n.g.o.s that helped the youth there to quit drugs and adopt a healthier lifestyle he was. to guantanamo and torture it for five years it will be made. very greedy the crime remember and of course i refused to sign it. i go to court. i refuse. to. go grey hold my american to the author. who of course it's right time goes. to source never charged with any crimes or it's now back home in germany the vast majority of the hundreds of individuals who have been held at guantanamo since two thousand and two like moron are said to be of no intelligence value whatsoever some of them were children when they were captured by canadian citizen omar carter who was just

fifteen when he was taken into u.s. custody he said because he was tortured he was ready to say anything the torture is wanted to hear to stop the pain the international community has wisely condemned the unlawful practices at the u.s. prison amnesty international call the the gulag of our what times matthew alexander has carried out more than three hundred interrogations in iraq and helped track down a number of terrorists he says tortured it was used by the u.s. authorities in one town a mole and other prisons overseas like the infamous abu ghraib in iraq contributed to more terror when i was in iraq i oversaw the interrogations of foreign fighters and those foreign fighters the majority of them said time and time again the reason they come to iraq to fight was because of the torture and abuse of detainees and both are great and when tom obey and this is not my opinion the department of french tracked the statistics and they were briefed every interrogator right there

the. torture abuse was ok is number one recruiting tool and so this policy of courtroom. used to not make america safer what it did was it caused the deaths of hundreds or thousands of american soldiers recently in the wake of all the cheering about bin laden's death when asked about torture the cia director assess whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches i think it's always going to be an open question just a few years ago when barack obama was running for president on promises to shut down guantanamo and stop the torture it was presented as a done deal but now with bin laden's death it could seem the ends justify the means the means which has many experts say not only have not made americans safer but have motivated more terrorists i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. will for more insight and analysis of suspicious methods used in the war on terror but for a web site is a t don't call here's what else is lundell for your life after
