we hear the syrian voices who are glad to see the army move into their house even as rights activists salon president assad for the alleged shooting of protesters. businessman was in the russian markets wednesday straight. barely changed markedly during lack of action coming out from the. more intense. just after eleven am here in moscow and you're watching our t.v. now an eminent british inquiry into its agents use of a 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 life human rights groups to boycott the inquiry saying it lacks credibility as laura abbott reports. walking a tightrope of pain again it's emerged that's how britain security agencies were encouraged to decide when to talk terrorist suspects. 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. and i am completely one hundred. sure that i would not have gone to guantanamo or to. intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence offices quite regularly. 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 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 services officials were sending questions receiving information participating interrogations in situations where they either knew or ought to have known that he was being tortured or otherwise mistreated. 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 authorised

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 should 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 that the ministers and agents who 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 say the inquiry set to begin

shortly will be ineffective and that a 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 to further radicalize they should never happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your and it's all to. billions of dollars worth of aircraft sales are likely to be inked over the next few days at an airstrip in a moscow as the international air show takes off for its second day and it's already proving to be quite a sight on the ground and in beer with over one hundred planes due to take part in a skyline to showcase. arches rory sushi is about the max airshow for us rory before we cross live to you we could hear a lot of engines roar you're certainly in your element very well what can you tell

us about what's happening. tessa i'm just i'm just gonna have to cut you off because it's absolutely deafening at the moment the two thousand and eleven mock sasha one of the major fighters i mean here is just pulling these just unbelievable when it was right over my head i can't hear anything i think my brain has melted and is seeping out of my hears but truly a dramatic display of all military aviation might hit at the two thousand and eleven accessor just outside moscow city center if you're anywhere and want to go anywhere near the region perhaps you're the personal jets just come on and i cordially invite all of you to join us here for a stunning day and on a wonderful display of just. aeronautics and he said do you mind. just unbelievable night if i may just a moment show you over that big a three eighty air bus i went inside i want to first cos when i sat down for champagne they said no so i left but we have all

sorts of other sukhoi military jets around here and of course today is the highly anticipated debut of these two hundred fifty eight is ultimately supposed to go head to head with lockheed f. thirty five lightning and the f. twenty two raptor in fact the new t. fifty being unveiled today is so similar some say to the f. twenty two raptor it's actually been nicknamed the up toward a ski however it's lighter it's supposed to be more technologically advanced and it costs less than the us f. twenty two raptor you know we've got lots of drones around here and it's a little bit of serving some of the drones unmanned drones some of them are smaller than my leg there are many helicopters hit the unmanned helicopter robotic systems they hit the days of terminator and skynet getting closer and closer and closer now we've got wonderful displays coming up today and over the next three days of the russian knights in the sukhoi twenty seven's of course the russian swifts in the world famous make twenty nine if any if any of you watch action movies from the

seventy's or the eighty's you know them. twenty nine was the infamous russia fight a russian fighter jet over that time soviet fighter jet we're going to have the french are here without f.l. i'm on the lookout for the miraj the euro miraj fighter they build these planes with such strength in their wings you take thirty volkswagen beetles and stack them up on each wing that's how strong these jets are to take the g. forces the italians are here. called the aircraft and we have some themed flights as well some search and rescue teams where they're bringing in the choppers actually so want to show a while ago that bringing in the search and rescue choppers the zip codes are coming down the guys are flying down the courts hitting the ground here also some anti terror practices and operations going here as well all just fim not nothing to do with terrorism but just the theme of it now across i would you want to start somebody has a story about the brand the s m s twenty one it's they hope that it's going to sell about one hundred at least here to the international market it's going to go head

to head with boeing but ultimately it's russia's jet designed for tomorrow's traveler his artie's. this is one of the new hoops of russian aviation it's called the endless twenty and it's time to it 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 could be going up against the likes of boeing seven three seven an airbus has a three twenty both well established planes its makers are fully aware of the challenge ahead we understand. there are still these markets. market. we hope we will. all this market.

will succeed. they're confident the n.-s. twenty one. will be able to technically match its competitors with a third of it built like compazine tales and totally us it will save them that crucial substance feel powerful in the course of want to see is to present some. approximately fifteen percent as opposed oppression course. but the m.s. 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 ak raft corporation which is trying to make russian plane companies work together like airbus has done in europe we use for engineers engineers capacity from suporn home porting so consumer to two political solution it's early days yet but with a wealth of aeronautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying

high the m s twenty one puts a new generation of russian airliners up in the clouds tamasin. we will continue to be here for the next three days just outside of moscow city center max two thousand and eleven and show i'm a researcher worth noting along with all the cargo planes here the military fighters here the helicopters choppers and even all the drones as well there's going to be a special event taking place at this time if you come you'll be able to see the reconstruction of the soviet field the edge of any defense of the period the battle of moscow it's going to be a flying display of technology and military hardware the planes from that era rearrange reenacting what they did when they drove out the hitlerite who were encroaching on more details to come here live for the next several days i. see the two thousand and eleven back to you. thanks very much thanks very much for that. a great time and as he said we will be of bringing you all the latest action from

two thousand and eleven in the following weeks and do stay with us in our. roach. future. our team takes to the air show. 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 gordon chang from forbes business magazine says its neighbors need to keep a close eye on what's happening. china wants to project power it says 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's claims the entire body of water is 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 this military build up which really is the big in the past is in the world today it is most recent what are your favorite talk 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 a big air force and a big navy so that's where a lot of the money is going to 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 well shell says it's something prone but green groups are not convinced with the crude gushing into the sea for a sixth day. well europe's nations are on the verge of blurring into one well financially at least with germany and france calling for economic harmony across the euro zone growth is grinding to a halt and countries are struggling to stay afloat and they wrote some big players think of the answer is to force mandatory budgets onto member states are also pledging to harmonize corporate taxes. it's for our introduction.

time so. unimpressed by chancellor merkel's and president sarkozy's plans all saying that they expected more dr. romano a professor of business and international affairs says the decisions are political not school. 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 their 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 in the markets we're not expecting this other bad news for the market was that taxation is going to go up especially in terms of corporate taxation where 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 for 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 into 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 anytime soon. syrian security forces reportedly opened fire on thousands who gathered in

various cities calling for president assad to go well human rights activists claim that over eighteen hundred people have been killed since the uprising of ruptured in mid march but as you know reports of the problems are not as black and white as they're made out to be. residents of the eastern city of theirs or have taken to the streets to thank the army for saving. they claim that a month ago an unknown armed group took control of the town and they found themselves trapped in their own homes i mean my place in things bandits blocked their rights put up barricades and became a city we were hiding just like hostages and eyewitnesses say the occupation last for at least twenty days. they are terrorists who gave them power once i told the guy the barricades that i'm going to

a drugstore he said i don't care and in a moment to go through we are asking the army to come and how we offer them. the military claims to have killed several of those who had occupied the city while many were arrested and others just true anyway. soldiers of 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 army's wrongdoing by discrediting peaceful trade democratic front as a terrorist conspiracy but exactly who is behind the protests and who are the genuine protesters. course we have peaceful demonstrations here we want reforms and we don't make a secret of this 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 sent to all the countries all industry six hundred kilometers from the capital there's or is said by some to be an improved. target the local officials a much less guarded. i have a feeling that all those protests have been orchestrated they call themselves opposition but they took part in what's a plot to be a conspiracy against. israel is the only side to benefit from it while it's still unclear who benefits from the end this conflict in this region one thing is clear it's ordinary people who suffer. and while streets may have quite down and there is over for now reminders of the countries and go in conflict and hard to find and fear remains in the air. out t.

it was informed that it is or in eastern syria. all had online for more the news we're covering on the air and let me run you through some of the reports lined up right now at r.t. dot com this struggle to stay alive by selling your own organ is the grim reality for poverty stricken indians who are preyed on by the illegal bodyparts market. plus selling siberia through star wars a movie fat ass the russian president to fund a giant stash of r two d two to highlight the region's techno progress. the oil firm a shell is struggling to plug a second leak at one of its north sea platforms all the company was forced to admit it's responsible for the worst spill and british waters for more than a decade about thirteen hundred barrels of leaks so far and the company says the first part of a rupture is now under control and the flow of oil into the sea is now down to two barrels a day or green groups sounded the alarm that there will be big consequences for the

environment shell that eventually came clean out a bit too is an energy analyst from v environmental organization platform says that a lack of transparency calls into question the seriousness with which the company is treating the incident. what's important is that you create demand rather small. breasts. and resilience against the clowns in the one super last year i remember this it's a glorious phil coles all those question. since to. you for. a moment. there was one point in. the close of all the morning growth. we will show is using dispersants why don't you go. on the.

question. because well they do is break down on more on the smaller boats and more difficult for cleanup operations staunchly on skim the war from the surface government burdens even to those stairs to climb them but they don't have adequate information coming from show certainly insurers and public at large are still in the dark about a lot of the holes show holes on the east or very small boats were information and there's been no official statements coming from and you will see more on members of the company including sea or on the board of directors which there's call into question seriousness to which the company is taking this issue. and once again it's time for the business update with dimitri. and welcome to the program the russian currency has been having a tough time in the recent wave of market turmoil now the training as kicked off

for the ruble in the just marginally stronger u.s. offer someone from deutsche bank believes the rouble could win back some of its positions although won't be quick. there is scope for the will to recover and given the fact that oil prices so far are quite resilient 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 and it does off for significant value at the same time the fact that the risk levels are elevated across the board across the world economy that i think will act as a deterrent to the very fast recovery and that will i think this recovery will take some time. so you the markets now we start with commodities crude prices are rising slightly ahead of a u.s. imagery report which is expected to show at the cline in the reserves brant crude

is up sixty four cents light sweet is over eighty seven dollars per barrel. so going to stock markets now in asia is mixed the hang saying is gaining point six percent while it was gaining one point two last time we looked at it so it's losing its momentum fresh concerns about the european economy are weighing on investor sentiment following disappointing quarterly eurozone and german growth reports the nikkei is down half a percent driven down by financials with mitsui one point two percent lower exporters are also under pressure in tokyo this is the opening picture in europe and the footsie added bags are shedding massively at the opening for the one point two percent of the next one point seven percent around twenty five minutes after the opening investors are disappointed with the lack of action coming out of tuesday's meeting between angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy. and let's take

a look at russia finally and the little positive sentiment that we saw at the very opening of trading has now gone and the r.t.s. is down one percent of my six point eight. the sense to look at some of the main movers. from used to gary now it's down half a percent still two percent of the market this is the pricing in the announcement that the stock has been included into the global standard and as burbank is one point three percent lower well the bank says given the current market volatility players preferred to buy. stocks for long term investment but we have seen is. activity from situations which are picking up some second tier names across the russian universe in small quantities there cognizant of the fact that we're probably going to get a bit lower from here but they're happy to start buying now. so select second tier names are potentially a. good investment opportunity for long lonely investors for investors with the

long term price and in terms of blue chips the activity has been quite volatile there hasn't been any sector out there for months which is markedly. explicit over the last few days and i really doubt this will. change somehow in the next couple of weeks at least. the moscow government is getting ounce of the hotel business. operation as part of this year's privatization programme the hotel company as it is now controlled around fourteen properties with four star ratings the decision comes after the key investor billionaire ronaldo decided to pull out yes it's a well for around two hundred million dollars. it was doing business out seen around fifteen minutes time we'll be here with us next with the headline.
