we hear the syrian voices were glad to see the army move into their towns even as rights activists slam president assad for the alleged shooting of protesters. just after ten am here in moscow you're watching r.t. and imminent british inquiry into its agents use of torture overseas has been slammed before it had a chance to get started 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 human rights groups to boycott the inquiry saying it lacks credibility as a lawyer and reports. walking a tightrope of pain versus gain it's emerged that's how britain security agencies

were encouraged to decide when to talk terrorist suspects. was held 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. sure but i would not have gone to guantanamo or to back room. with british intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence officers quite regularly. but. they were physically present when i was being abused they saw. me they saw my according to policy documents seen by the guardian newspaper senior 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 would 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 service officials were sending question for saving information participating interrogations in situations where they either knew or ought to have known that he was being tortured or otherwise mistreated garcia was youth rendition flights and then you know every week or every month there's a new piece of evidence document that's been hidden for a very long time that's just been released that shows that there was you know perhaps circumstances in which ministers were very senior officials authorized agents to participate and in situations where it was more likely than not the torture would occur. there's a police investigation into torture allegations under way and as soon as that's

finished an inquiry will begin but it's already come under fire the policy on interrogation and all the relevant documents may not be made public which has angered human rights groups so much that they've refused to give evidence or go to inquiry meetings there's also control to see about the chair of the investigation so peter gibson used to be the intelligence services commissioner the government doesn't see a conflict of interest there but many m.p.'s do i think there are 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 the types of torture that took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people who were involved in torture and we take them for the wood and if the government then goes against that and so we'll have this session this. session about complicity in torture this inquiry but it's going to be in secret and you won't get to see it and you won't get to see those people involved in your torture and then people will lose. any support any idea that the government is actually going to try to. carry out justice many fear the inquiry set to begin shortly will be ineffective in the second one will be necessary at vast expense but there's also concern that. creeping revelations about just how complicit the u.k.

has been in torture and extraordinary rendition will lead to further radicalize they should also have a happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your and it's all it's he. will billions of dollars worth of aircraft sales are likely to being so over the next few days that an airstrip in a moscow as the international air show takes off for its second day it's already proving to be quite a sight on the ground and in the air with over one hundred planes to do to take part in a skylight a showcase. arches rory sushi is about the max air show for us rory i know you're in your element right now you're a fan of the biggest and the baddest ride was catching your eye right now. you know the problems are some ideas that i actually came in today with my credit card i might be flowing flying home tonight it looks like a lot of trouble i am surrounded by the biggest and the baddest here we have

anything from the big transport ships here the big planes to the strategic fighter jets even to the microlight for one person or two people one of the highly anticipated debut today will be that of the sukhoi t fifty this is the russia's fifth generation strategic fighter military jet it does have stealth capabilities and of course short long defensive capabilities as well you know this is not just a russian event this year for two thousand and eleven just on the outskirts of moscow the italians and the americans are here with one of their massive transport ships and even the french decide to show up as well so it's going to be an exciting week we are here all week long on location for the big shows in fact in the distance in the just a fantastic day and perfect weather for it as well my colleague tom barton has an insightful story about the new twenty one a passenger jet that will be going head to head with the likes of boeing and this

story on the twenty one. this is one of the new hoops of russian aviation it's called the in this twenty and it's trying to do is an airline of the twenty first century there's a lot riding on the fate of this plane it represents the efforts of a russian aircraft industry that so far failed to break into international markets and it will have to be as modern as it says it is to survive the competition. to mid-range passenger jet would be going up against the likes of boeing seven three seven an airbus is a three twenty both will established planes its makers i'm fully aware of the challenge ahead we understand who we are not. interested in this market. market if you are what we hope we will. for albert hall this morning. also said. they're confident the m s twenty one will be able to technically match

its competitive with a third of it built like complicite materials and totally us it will save them that crucial substance if you. want this is to present. approximately fifteen percent or so of course operation of course. but the interest twenty one also follows the earlier sukhoi superjet as one of the first russian airliners built in years the efforts are being led by the united and craft corporation which is trying to make russian plane companies work together like airbus has done in europe we use engineers engineers capacity from suporn company so consumer. to political solution it's early days yet but with a wealth of aeronautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying high the n.s.t. twenty one puts a new generation of russian airliners up in the clouds tom box and hockey.

i'll have to have a problem there but that was our days were reporting for max two thousand and eleven and we will be there all throughout the week to bring you all the latest and moscow's jet powered airshow to distinguish us on our. hands. future flights on my part to take to the max airshow. meanwhile china is taking its military might to a new level finishing a round of trials of its first ever aircraft carrier although building the future carrier suite will take time beijing has already heralding

a new chapter for the country's naval fleet water from forbes business magazine says its neighbors need to keep a close eye on what's happening china wants to project power it is said that its new aircraft carrier is for scientific research and training well of course it's not it's meant to try to intimidate countries in the region especially in the south china sea where china is claims the entire body of water as an internal chinese lake and of course china wants to project power not only southwards but northwards towards mongolia and russia they talk about the last territories clearly beijing wants to get the used territories in a later date no country right now threatens china and that really is what is bothering the countries in the neighborhood and the united states and basically what's going on is there is a military build up which really is the big some the best is in the world today most recent why your favorite talked about 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 the air force in a big navy so that's where a lot of the money is going into as well as strategic forces in other words nuclear capable missiles eventually it is going to really undermine chinese foreign policy because all the countries on the periphery in the south and are now very very concerned the only countries that aren't complaining are north korea and burma. well in a few minutes we'll update you on the worst oil spill in decades in a british waters shell says it's under control but green groups are not convinced with crude gushing into the sea for six days. now europe's nations are on the verge of blurring into one all financially at least with germany and france calling for economic harmony across the euro zone grinding

to a halt and countries are struggling to stay afloat the euro's big players think that the answer is to force mandatory budgets onto member states will investors have been left mostly unimpressed by chancellor merkel's and president sarkozy's plans saying they expected more doctors she had as a professor of business and international affairs says that the decisions are political not fiscal. unfortunately this is not going to make much difference for the ongoing crisis all the news that came out of this press conference was quite negative for the market the most negative i believe was the fact that it was announced that the european fund stabilization facility that bailout fund for the european euro zone members will not be expanded and they believe it's enough as it is for the moment the second thing there's no common euro bond that was going to be issued and there was very clear about this when the markets were not expecting this other bad news for the market was that taxation is going to go up especially in

terms of corporate taxation the harmonization and then down the road they also want countries to have a balanced budget so the european leaders unfortunately have done it again they haven't really addressed the markets needs for clear concise action but what they are doing instead is looking at the long term political solution to this dilemma that they have it doesn't seem as they understand the markets seriousness about what's going on no one is asking the taxpayers to pay another bailout instead they're using the european central bank as a mechanism to buy the bonds for italy and spain most europeans don't understand is down the road when the greeks cannot pay their money back it will be the taxpayers from germany interest 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 that joblessness will not get any better and not any time

who had occupied the city while many were arrested and i was just trying to. hold on the syrian army i live in the city of there as so near the iraqi border. officials are saying operation is now over that the city has been freed from all the groups as you can see people are welcome in the soldiers as the waiters. critics of the regime don't share this euphoria claiming that assad is trying to cover his own his wrongdoing by distributing peaceful trying to the crush of protests as a terrorist conspiracy but exactly who's behind the protests and who are the genuine protesters of how of course we have peaceful demonstrations here we want reforms and we don't make a secret of that but those who burn cars there are different story once i asked the guy the barricades why he's there he said because they paid me. and they just center of the country's all industry six hundred kilometers from the capital theirs

three years ago before that the latest business news with dimitri. thanks to us i learned welcome to the program and we start with business at a high altitude in the moscow reach and the international show is seeing dozens of new deals being struck and i don't have the details this is set to be a record breaking yeah fall mox with more people than ever are calming to the show while the spectators admirers the technology and gasp at the aerobatics display teams there's also plenty of serious business taking place the russian market is expected to grow rapidly boeing says potential of one hundred ten billion dollars over the next twenty years and says it's ready to invest heavily to build on its position here over the next thirty years we expect just to invest about twenty seven billion u.s. dollars here in russia about eighteen billion dollars in titanium five billion

per barrel light sweet is a eighty seven dollars fifty three cents. shares are mixed the hang seng is gaining around one point one percent well the nikkei is losing half a percent fresh concerns about the european economy and weighing on investor sentiment following the disappointing thing which is the euro zone and germany. financials are the first to suffer in line with. one point two percent this is our exporters so the pressure here. is the opening picture on the surface will start trading in four and a half minutes both in the season that the previous trading session low are your to us saying one point three percent of my six hundred two percent off. from a great year says the market's unlikely as you continue smartly for the us and. we're likely to continue seeing. across markets today and throughout the rest of this week and perhaps a couple weeks to come that's because there are still issues which are quite

substantial on the table that have no resolution as we see it now from that we can conclude that perhaps we should be trading kind of around the levels of the summer of two thousand and ten the june july august levels which were the two levels. we talk about the u.s. markets or the russian markets we're talking about ten fifteen percent downside from here and that's when and why you will be able to talk about a potential rally potential bargains to be picked up as markets move to the bottom and to the fair level where they could switch into two thousand and twelve figures for the price and the slower growth than we all expected and then look into a value placed perhaps russian currency has been having a tough time in the recent wave of markets while however you just listen to somebody from deutsche bank believes the ruble could win back some of its positions although it won't be quick. there is scope for the will to recover given the fact that oil prices so far are quite resilient so what we're seeing in the markets is

that people are still very cautious and taking on risk and even though the. current levels does look cheap. it does off for significant value at the same time of the fact that risk levels are elevated across the board across the world economy that i think will act as a deterrent to the very fast recovery in the world but i think this recovery will take some time moscow government is getting out of the hotel business and is selling in city run operates as part of its this year's privatization program the hotel company as it's known controls around fourteen properties with two or four star ratings the decision comes off so the firms key invested billions. more decided to pull out the assets somewhere for around two hundred maybe a bill gates. and we will be back in around fifteen minutes time with an update is
