detention camp in afghanistan the process of dubbed extraordinary rendition the man's lawyers are calling on the u.k. to help free him as britain was the detaining or thora to call required from the reprieve charity he was fighting for rahmatullah is released told r.t. that britain's friendship with america blinds it to the truth. so hundreds of prisoners and guards around but what makes you know this special is that you know it was actually picked up by the united kingdom in iraq in february two thousand and four the u.k. handed him to the united states in march and april there were discussions between the u.s. and the u.k. because the u.s. wanted to send them to bob graham and the u.k. didn't object despite the fact that at this time even the abu ghraib photos broke making it absolutely clear to anyone who had any doubt what was happening to prisoners in u.s. detention the u.k. says that it learned quote unquote in june of that year june two thousand and four that my client had been sent to bob graham and although there was an m.o. you kind of deal between the u.s. and the u.k. that permits the u.k.

to get him out of custody and never bothered to do so so we've had to sue them in the united kingdom courts and haiti of course but to tell them you have to get this prisoner back you never should have been sent out of iraq he was rendered on the possibly in violation of the geneva conventions and you have a responsibility to him he's your prisoner when we first started to go see prisoners there shortly after the supreme court allowed prisoners to go and we had heard all kinds of stories of people being roughed up and if you at this moment the clients i go in see there are going on ten years in detention they've lost almost a decade ago and there's no prospect of a trial no prospect of release and congress is going on saying we need to have gone to go forever so that's the real anthony that they go through at this point uncertain future no prospect of leaving i think it's one of the saddest parts of the whole war on terror story the way various european nations for their kind of witting or unwitting handmaidens of us torture practices we know about cia prisons and poland or maybe a little brain the u.k.

is us its closest ally let's be clear and we saw time and again in the war on terror the u.k. getting just a little bit too close to the illegality of george bush and his cronies. but britain is not the only state that's been supporting the us to carry out its illegal treatment of prisoners back in two thousand and one a new leaders gave america green light to go ahead with its vision of battling terror and since then hundred so going through torture without trial. as the story . was arrested on the streets and sent to guantanamo for torture after five years america released him without charge to this day the u.s. has given no explanation all said story. george bush's lawyer alberto gonzales fully legal interrogators from the land of the free are free to cause quote simulated drowning reply instrumentality impairment of bodily function even

failure and even death i was one of those who survived. because i was not signed. up so i was forced a. number of. the us refused to even reveal they were holding concern as his mother owns this lawyer to find her son and it took several years and there was no chance to get in contact with mr quinn and it's really a shame for the united states what happened. plot concerned national law and it's simply impossible and the twenty first century. put someone in the extra. room. saying you have no right moves to end the practices they are imposing

a set of standards on our intelligence communities in terms of interrogating prisoners that our people think will be ineffective in the classified memo gonzales did warn us gods it was legally safer to perform torture on foreign soil ministers in the european union were glad to oblige the e.u. agreed to help arrest and transport people to countries where they could be tortured in a meeting here at nato headquarters in two thousand and one detainees may or may not have been since they never received a real trial we just can't know for sure. barack obama was elected on the promise to short one time to move its he's even a few u.s. rulings which give detainees some rights. two years on the prison still open for business but also. street. crimes against humanity so is the obama administration and so's europe. for participating and

what exactly is executive from bush down no fear going after foreigners food lawsuits over torture when the world looms what's america's doing said bush's advisor we will all be ashamed and you will shorty braman. you are with r.t. and on the way for you here a poisoned generation thousands of families and indeed demanding compensation from the government for spraying a quarter of a full pesticide believed to cause widespread deformities in children. the euro is dead and buried quite literally according to certain skeptics who have held a mock funeral for the ailing single currency in brussels they argue that attempts to bail out greece are too little too late and other. the failure will leave the eurozone dream happens e.u. members are currently pressing the greek authorities to tighten its purse strings

once again if it is to receive get more money to keep it afloat the government proposed a twenty eight billion euro budget cut over the next five years if approved it will mean another twelve billion euros and rescue money parties are going to join to those morning economic workers in brussels this is a funeral procession in the center of brussels where the european leaders are meeting to discuss the future of the greek debt and of the eurozone itself they believe the euro can be salvaged but most people including euro skeptics believe that it is impossible and there will be no resurrection off the euro well to me and i think a lot of people it's beginning to collapse around the sea in bailouts billions of pounds of taxpayers' money especially from the germans putting a lot of this bill and i think the public got enough of it and i've had enough in the leaders of the european union have presented greece with conditions in order for the country to receive the remainder of its bailout unfortunately for greece we

will have to take extreme measures which are incredibly unpopular in the country and that presents and major challenge for the greek government right immediately after it has just been for shuffled the leaders all unanimously wrong again maybe i'm wrong about greece from the very start she should never have been allowed to join the euro in the first place she wasn't suited to it they were wrong to bail out first time they're wrong drawn by her out the second time with the greek parliament on tuesday except this package then this time next year i'll be talking to you i will be a third bailout so while these european leaders are extremely excited about the fact that the future of the euro could still be resurrected most of the people in europe do not believe so and unfortunately for the european leaders the common europeans believe that the end of the euro is near. i was commissioner reporting right now the russian president is delivering on his promise to d.c. centralized power in the country giving the regions

a greater say in politics contributor wants to appoint the current governor of st petersburg as the new head of the upper house of the russian parliament and he's pretty relevant now joins us live with more details on this situation. so peter what exactly does this mean for russia. what will this means is volunteer much yanker looks although it's guaranteed to be the next speaker of the federation council the upper house of russian parliament. this is come of this they can seize come about since the sort of give me a lot of step down amid pressure from the regions and also something that was backed by president may get of these members of the federation council from the regions are saying that the federation council becomes slightly to moscow centric and they want to see more representation from across russia and this is something that the president said yes i agree with these but he's got into much younger the eight year governor of st petersburg sixty two year old valentina much younger well

she's essentially said to her if you want the job and it's there and take it so it looks more likely that she will be established as the the new speaker of the upper house of the russian government so our piece of what else there is inside the meter is going to proposing to make political life in the country more liberal. but it's not just the open house that seems like it's in for a bit of a revamp of the state duma just behind me the lower house of russian government also set for a little bit of a shake up the president's put forward a draft law that would mean that it's the current percentage of the vote what you need to take a seat in the duma is seven percent he wants to see that lowered to five percent meaning that more parties in the regions can get a share of the main power base here in moscow not just the major political parties making the whole system far more represented. of russia as a whole and as i said less moscow centric no it doesn't actually go to living further than that he said if by the same proves to be too little. of

a decrease the amount of the vote you need an election he's willing to lower its to three percent now this would make sure that a lot of the more marginal parties as they are at the moment would be able to the city and only the main well then a decision making that goes on of making laws and governing here in the russian federation all right he's been one of them live in central moscow thank you. it's part of the former prime minister of ukraine has gone on trial for abusing power during her time in office in two thousand and nine and yulia timoshenko secured a gas deal with russia which is claimed to have robbed the ukrainian economy of millions of dollars she's dismissed the case as fabricated but faces up to ten years in jail if convicted. is in kenya for. the atmosphere inside the courtroom and around the court building is absolutely electrifying around fifteen hundred supporters of unity much like as you can see here gathered in

dollars and this is clearly the main charge against the country's former prime minister it is something of a full from grace for the woman who was once one of the most powerful and prominent politicians in the world several magazines describe huge machine class as one of the most important female politicians on the planet now she is she could become a convict and if convicted she could face up to ten years in prison even if this sentence would be suspended for her then still she would be unable to run for president for the next presidential election in twenty to fifty this according to thomas and co makes this case political and she describes it as the one being orchestrated personally by president because you have a quote which it is not the first time that futenma shango is is on the trial in two thousand and one she was. charged with smuggling russian gas and see very clearly the supporters of you to the circle are ready to be seen as the court
