information they might obtain with the level of mistreatment a prisoner would suffer and if it was worth it to go ahead and misty international says there's a mounting pile of credible evidence on the extent to which britain was involved in torture as the 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 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 an good human rights group so much that they've refused to give evidence 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 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 so powerful people including tony blair jack straw and david miliband have refused to reveal whether they knew their policy led to a number of people being tortured so the list is an agent. of the public will 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 but 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 . we'll have to support it but it's going to be in secret you will get to see those

6:14 am
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 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 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. so you can have on line for more on the news we're covering here on r t let me run you through some of the reports lined up at r.t. dot com the struggle to stay alive by selling your own organs the grim reality for poverty stricken indian through or preyed on by what you read gold body parts
