a day out here in moscow you're watching r t you are considered program now whatever the british inquiry into its agents use of torture overseas has been slammed before it had a chance to get started well it was revealed that britain was prepared to use harsh interrogation if the potential information that was gained was considered important enough well that's led to human rights groups boycotting the inquiry saying it lacks credibility as war and it reports. walking a tightrope of pain versus gain it's emerged that how britain security agencies were encouraged to decide when to talk terror suspects. was held by graham in afghanistan and in guantanamo bay between two thousand and two and two thousand and five he says he was tortured and accuses the u.k. of being complicit in that torture only now is the level of the official complicity being revealed we and i am completely one hundred percent sure but i would not

have consequent on them all to program. with the involvement of british intelligence services the british intelligence offices quite regularly. but. they were physically present when i was being saw my. lecture. it's all. according to policy documents seen by the guardian newspaper senior m i five and m i six agents were asked to weigh up the quality of information they might obtain with the level of mistreatment a prisoner with suffer and if it was worth it to go ahead amnesty international says there's a mounting pile of credible evidence on the extent to which britain was involved in torture binyam mohamed where security services officials were sending question for sending information disputing interrogations in situations where they

12:04 am
a number of issues with the torture inquiry the first thing is we have to have confidence that the judge presiding is not somebody who has been heavily involved with the secret service in the future in the past and i think on that point it fails powerful people including tony blair jack straw and david miliband have refused to reveal whether they knew the policy led to a number of people being tortured but the ministers and agents who wrote it knew the public would be outraged according to the guardian it includes warnings that if it got out the policy could lead to increased radicalization. agrees it's true anybody would get radicalized if you hear about torture took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people who were involved in torture and we take them to the wood and if the government ban goes against their. will have a session. session about complicity in torture this inquiry but it's going to be in
12:05 am
secret and you will get to see it and you will get to see those people involved in the torture and then people will lose. any supporting any idea that the government is actually going to try to. carry out justice many fear the inquiries that begin shortly will be ineffective and the second one will be necessary at vast expense but there's also. that creeping revelations about just how could the u.k. has been in torture and extraordinary rendition will lead to further radicalize they said whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture you are and it's r t. a billions of dollars worth of aircraft sales are likely to be into over the next few days at an airstrip in moscow as the international air show takes off earth saturday one of the biggest clouds this year is the veiling of a new russian stealth fighter the t.

12:10 am
information technology and cyber war also clearly they're putting money into their navy and to their air force the only laggard really is the army the army used to get almost all the money but now clearly china wants a big air force in the big navy so that's where a lot of the money is going to as well as teacher forces in other words nuclear capable missiles well china has probably more object than the united states you know the chinese like to lecture washington about the dollar in china is to g.d.p. ratio is at least as bad as america's it's probably almost double and when you add that hidden to the acknowledged dead china probably has and debt to g.d.p. ratio of one hundred fifty to one hundred sixty percent nearly the military has become much more popular for college graduates because they have not been able really to find work in the civilian economy so people's liberation. has actually done better on recruiting in the last three years eventually going to really

12:12 am
moving slowly towards a fiscal union which is what many had predicted but of course there's one small problem which is the people of europe have been asked to see the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals and. this may make him even more unpopular because the people of europe the north but in polls in opinion polls they say that they stroh's the european integration angela merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of europe which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said the euro bonds are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries did so they refused to bail out the rising problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this the groomers

12:15 am
the taxpayers from germany and france that will end up paying for these bonds down the road the bad news is that we're not going to see any growth and i think everybody understands that and with their joblessness will not get any better and not anytime soon. now iran is welcoming russia's latest proposal for restarting international talks on terror on disputed nuclear program well under the proposal major powers will reduce sanctions against iran for each step it takes towards opening its atomic ambitions to international inspection president ahmadinejad appraise the initiative at a meeting with russia's chief security official in tehran iran is out loggerheads with world powers over its nuclear aspirations the latest round of talks stalled in january without agreement and ways to renew the negotiations will also be on the table but russia's foreign minister meets his reign and counterpart in moscow later on when it stick. now the oil firm shell is struggling to plug a second leak at one of its north sea platforms the company it was forced to admit
