zero while investors are left i think it's. just after twelve noon here in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. now whatever the 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 that reports are walking a tightrope of pain versus gain it's emerged that's how britain security agencies were encouraged to decide when to talk to terrorist suspects bag 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 i am completely one hundred percent sure that i would not have gone to guantanamo or to back room had it not been could be involvement of british intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence officers quite regularly in rome and. they were physically present when i was being abused they saw my. guns pointed towards me they saw my head 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 to 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 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 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 say 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 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 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 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 word and if the government then goes against that and so this inquiry 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. it's actually going to try to. carry out just as many

phase of the inquiries set to begin shortly will be ineffective and that a second one will be necessary at vost expense but there's also a concern that creeping revelations about just how complicit 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 your anecdotes he did the 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 well it's already proving to be quite a sight on the ground and in the air with over one hundred planes jus to take part in a skyline showcase. reports. the two thousand and eleven mike says show one of the major fighters over here is

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 leroy's big players think the answer is to force mandatory budgets onto member states mazhar europe correspondent daniel bushell explains surrendering a sovereignty is not what people want. the key decision is they have announced a single united eurozone government they also announced a 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 there's one small problem which is the people of europe have been. because the the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals

and suspected this may make him even more unpopular because the people of europe but in polls in opinion polls they say that they don't want the european integration angular merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this but they dismissed the use of euro bourne's 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 rumors 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 ranging proposals on offer here. vests are said been left mostly

unimpressed by chancellor merkel and president sarkozy's plans saying that they expected more well dr shah had assad to recommend a professor of business and international affairs says it be it 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 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 is going to be issued and there were very clear about this in 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 more 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 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 that joblessness will not get any better and not any time soon. iran is hailing russia's step plan to help restart international

a lack of transparency calls into question the seriousness with which the company is treating the incident. what's important here is that the u.k. government has been rather smart in claiming that its regulatory regimes were breasts. and resilient against the kinds of things that put happen in the food not support last year however this particular spill calls for those crimes and question it's a particular sense to the period of the year for breeding. program if certain c. there was one point where it's hard and difficult to plug in a certain need because of all the growth in the us and all that shows using dispersants that isn't been highly controversial. on the use is questionable because well they do. more on the smaller boats and more difficult for. proper

published and for example trying to link us to someone they were claiming was a spy in pakistan and also raising doubts about the validity of our 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 don't 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 fighting cases on behalf of civilians in pakistan leaked intelligence documents us secret cables there were leaks point wiki leaks earlier this year 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 with the cia. and in just a few minutes we talked to the a prime minister of a cacio which gained independence from georgia along with south such it three years
