with the level of mistreatment of prisoners 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 as yet another 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. you know ministers are very senior officials authorised agents to participate in and 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 is angered human rights groups so much that they've refused to give evidence all go to inquiry meetings there's also control to see about the chair of the invest. ation

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 we have to have confidence that the judge presiding is not somebody who has been heavily involved with cheaper service in the future in the past and i think pointed powerful people including tony blair jack straw and david miliband have refused to reveal whether they knew that policy led to a number of people being tortured the ministers in agents who british 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 to the wood and if the government ban goes against that. but it's going to be in secret you will get to see those people

involved in your 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 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 could the u.k. has been in torture and extraordinary rendition will lead to further radicalize whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your and its r.t. . now 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 it's already proving to be quite a sight on the ground and air with over one hundred planes due to take part in a starlight. showcase. reports.

on for months twenty one years and since it's been eco terrorists before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country when nine eleven happened the bush administration could not find any terrorists because the feds couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people who were accused of property sabotage and labeled them as terrorists someone you destroy property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind it's not fair and real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with their cub scout troops that's the. sound. kind. of. tough.

for the. we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. 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 well growth is grinding to a halt and countries are struggling to stay afloat the euro's big players think the answer is to force mandatory budgets on to a number of states missouri europe correspondent daniel bushell explains surrendering the sovereignty is not what people want. the key decision is they have announced a single united eurozone government they also announced the corporation tax to unite the corporation taxes of germany and france so we're moving slowly towards a fiscal union which is what many had predicted but of course this one small

problem which is the people of europe haven't been lost because the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals and. this may make him even more important because the people of europe but in polls in the opinion polls they say that they don't want to exclude the european integration angular merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of euro boredoms which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said the europeans 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 denounced the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this. is that they say are trying to bring down the euro

a tax on financial transactions was also announced. that the purpose was to home annoys economies and taxes across europe so a very wide range of proposals on offer here. oh investor seven left mostly unimpressed by chancellor merkel and president sarkozy clients saying that they expected more well dr shah had as a professor of business and international affairs says it be it decisions are political not the scope. unfortunately this is not going to make much difference for the ongoing crisis all the news that came out of this conference was quite negative for the market the most negative i believe was the fact that it was announced that a european fund will stabilisation facility there be allowed fund for the european euro zone members will not be expanded and they believe it enough as it is for the moment the second thing there's no common europe on that is going to be issued and

there were very clear about this and the markets are not expecting this other bad news for the market was their 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 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 that 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 what most europeans don't understand is down the road when the greeks cannot pay their money back it will be the taxpayers from germany and from 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. iran is hailing russia step plan to help restart international talks on a terror disputed nuclear program russia's foreign minister and his iranian counterpart have just been discussing that in moscow under russia's proposal major powers will reduce sanctions against iran for each step it takes towards opening its atomic ambitions to international inspection iran is a logger heads with world powers over its nuclear aspirations and the latest round of talks stalled in january without agreement and during the meeting in moscow the foreign ministers also talked about the launch of iran's first nuclear power plant built with the russian help iran it says the bush era facility will be fully online in the near future. more head on the eye for more of the news we're covering on the air and let me run you through some of the reports lined up right now at our t v

they say they haven't killed a civilian from a of last year or evidence suggests entirely the contrary we were hearing rumors of over u.s. officials in washington trying to cast aspersions on our study before it was even published. for example trying to link with someone they were claiming with a spy in pakistan and also raising the. research itself we went back and looked at over two thousand individual media reports from pakistani us u.k. international media looking at the strikes and then once we've actually untangled that process and got the clearest idea of what had taken place we don't cross-reference with a host of material which included legal studies case notes of lawyers who are for i think cases on behalf of civilians from pakistan intelligence documents us secret cables the only point here and so on so we're trying to build up really as comprehensive a public view as we could of what's actually been taking place at the cia. and in
