i would princess to the school in the hotel in touch with the who tell me tonight your group the future of a good girl how would international journalists. every green those are children in tow who. human rights group shanley ukase probe into torturing prisoners overseas after details emerged of britain's secret policy of using its three measures to extract information. from. jet said go at moscow's international air show is too low for buyers and flying fanatics taxi out for the past but aviation house to offer. well we keep on doing this all it see is that much twenty eleven shown here with me real research showing just enjoying all the aircraft inside the outside the high flying community of us r t is life the next three days a movie go to come to ride from this location stay with us right now. also

this hour the discord over closer european harmony france and germany want a unified economic front to save the struggling euro fall investors are left on press. on their for european indices are fooling around one per cent this hour as investors are disappointed with the lack of action coming out from the meeting between moscow and sarkozy but russian markets are ignoring this why climbs out of business ultimately. it's three pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live from any so now with our top story an imminent british inquiry into its agents use of torture overseas has been sly and before it's 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 but that's led to human rights groups to boycott the inquiry saying it lacks credibility as a lawyer and that reports. walking a tightrope of pain first this gave it to merge that's how britain security agencies were encouraged to decide when to church terror suspects. bag was held back ground 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 but i would not have consequent upon him all that but rather i had not been privy involvement of british intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence officers quite regularly in. rome and on the one hand they were physically present while i was being abused they

saw my shirt and my shawl my lecture. with me they saw my 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 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 has been hidden for a very long time has 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 good

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 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 have to have confidence that the judge presiding is not somebody who has been heavily involved with the secret service 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 their policy led to a number of people being told that the list is an agent he knew the public quickly 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 word and if the government goes against that. but it's going to be in secret you will get to see those people involved in your torture then people will lose. any support 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 the second one will be necessary out for sticks beds 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 said whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your and it's r.t. . billions of dollars worth of aircraft sales are likely to be over the next few

days at an airstrip here in moscow as the international air so takes off for its second day but it's already proving to be quite a sight on the ground and in the air of course with over one hundred planes due to take part in a skyline showcase. well it's easy to say is after max air so for us course he's taken off his aviator's still looking as cool as a category i know you're a big fan of aircraft what's catching your eye and ears this second day of the show . and he said the question is what's not catching my eye and what's not blasting my poor ears at the moment it's just the best of the best here for the mac two thousand and eleven and you will international air show here the biggest you can find here whether it's in the civilian sector or the military sector we have the big ever us a three a c. that is absolutely enormous about the size of a skyscraper just lying on its side enormous today and passenger bus the a three

eighty but then we have the military aspect for example we have america's c. five this thing is a colossus we went inside it was like being inside the bowels of a whale you can feel this thing with numerous tanks nulty ton tanks and you can still fly to any part of the world that's the c five but we also saw the historic b. fifty two bomber to be fifty two iconic because during during the cold war era that was what the americans were using for high school i patrols these b. fifty two loaded to the teeth with nuclear weapons but part very near to it is the russian version the russian bear that is just a sight to see a truly iconic image it's such a such a monster what's interesting is that the b. fifty two and the russian bear apart very very close to each other and when you watch the children walk by they were by and there was a lovely big airplanes but when you see them more elder people those who are alive in the cold war you see the look in their eyes they look at these two planes and there's something in their eye because you know they're thinking these could have

been the beginning of the end piece could have been mutually assured destruction had they leveled those nuclear weapons during the cold war now aside from that we've got the military strike strike jets here we all very much anticipating the unveiling of the just bound to be an amazing aircraft the russian sukhoi t. fifty it's supposed to go head to head against america's f. twenty two and the f. eighteen raptor it has a stealth capability is it kite carries all of its weapons inside the body of the aircraft or so it's easy to detect the actual craft on radar it's supersonic it's called la. range protective a striking abilities very advanced comes in at twenty tons which is right in between the f. eighteen and the f. twenty two as well but if you look behind me over here you might be able to see that is the russian version of the eva that is the america we over there and in england we have the. this is the russian version of it which is ultimately just a flying floating radar station now it's just an amazing day today all the families

are out here literally tens of thousands i must say lots and lots of people here dozens upon dozens of planes and it was a good time to be had by all odds he's going to be here for the next few days at least and we're going to continue continue giving you live coverage i want and i do want to say one moment i really am looking forward to hopefully later today is that there will be a reenactment of the battle for moscow where we will have ten vintage soviet aircraft in the air reenacting how they drove the nazis back many many decades ago now enough for me let's turn over to my colleague tom gotten he has an insightful story now about a new russian passenger jet debuting on the market here's my colleague tom. this is one of the new hopes of russian aviation it's called the n.s.t. when she won its towns 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. as a souped mid-range passenger jet to be going up against the likes of boeing seven three seven an airbus is a three twenty both well established planes its makers are fully aware of the challenge ahead we understand it will not we're not first of these markets. market fifty five but we hope we will have. a powerful market. also. they're confident the m s twenty one will be able to technically match its competitors with a third of it built like composition tales and totally us it will save them that crucial substance feel. rumpus as pauperism or bus number. approximately fifteen percent as opposed

a persian course. but the ennis 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 air craft corporation which is trying to make russian plane companies work together why care for us has done in europe the most for engineers engineers the purpose of the from so poorly on point. to work properly of property. it's early days yet but with a wealth of aeronautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying high b.m.s. twenty one puts a new generation of russian airliners in the clouds somewhere. actually. so many people are calling it the best and the biggest international air show on the planet this is march two thousand and eleven i. will keep you posted as this whole event moves on that's right we will be at the markets show for the next

couple of days to do stay with our team for that. close of. the trench. future flight. our team takes to the max airshow. europe's nations are on the verge of blurring into one at least financially with germany and france calling for economic harmony across the euro zone growth grinding to a halt and countries are struggling to stay afloat the euro's big players think the answer is to force mandatory budgets onto member states they're also pledging to harmonize corporate taxes but are rejecting the introduction of joint that guarantees or euro bonds any time soon investors have been left mostly unimpressed by chancellor merkel and president sarkozy plans saying they expected more dr remen

a professor of business and international affairs for the sessions are political not for school. unfortunately this is not going to make much difference for the ongoing crisis all the news that came out and especially conference was quite negative for the market the most negative i believe was the fact that it was announced that the european fund full stabilization facility their bailout fund for the european euro zone numbers 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 in there is very clear about this when the markets are not expecting this other bad news for the market was that taxation is going to go up so she 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 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 to 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 or 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. russia says it hopes international talks on iran's disputed nuclear program could restart soon both countries foreign ministers have been talking in moscow with iran welcoming the kremlin's efforts to help renew negotiations. has been

following the progress and now joins us live through to take us through what russians planas. russia's proposal is a step by step plan of action that would basically see iran resume its called were rationed with the six nations that are basically monitoring the situation in return for the gradual lessening of sanctions that the united nations security council has already opposed on iran and iran of course has reacted very angrily to this proposal by russia seems to be well received by all of the sighs involved in these negotiations and the iranian side is said to be very happy with the proposal and is willing to take participation in the plan so what does that mean in terms of a breakthrough how much those this mean for the progress of negotiations. or

thoroughly of course to say whether it is a breakthrough or not just at this moment but it is definitely a big step forward according to russian foreign minister the sanctions that the united nations security council gets imposing on iran were leading to a dead end in the problem in the negotiations that the only way out was a diplomatic one to get iran. back in cooperation with the united nations security council and it seems that russia has managed to achieve that there step by step program is getting everybody back to the table and of course iran said that it is prepared to let more international inspectors in to open its nuclear program to further inspection has said also. that it will not tolerate any more pressure on his program so sanctions any further sanctions will not be tolerated by the iranian side the russian foreign minister has said that this is a very good staff be

a step by step plan proposed by russia should lead to the satisfaction of both sides to the iranians having their peaceful nuclear energy program and get to the security council giving the ability to see that there is nothing to fear but of course. there are still some doubts and it will be until that the plan is fully implemented that we can actually see how effective it is we also know that the share energy station the first iranian nuclear power plant will also be operational very soon we know that it's already working but it's not yet producing that nuclear peaceful nuclear energy that iran needs and that is also on the agenda right considering those are live in central moscow thank you very much for that update. workers at chapin's fukushima plant say the ground under the facility is cracking and radioactive steam is escaping through the cracks the cooling system of the

client failed after the devastating tsunami hit japan in march sparking a nuclear crisis but new evidence suggests that fukushima reactors were doomed to cripple even before the massive wave reached them joining me now via broadband is dr robert shakeups who's a professor at the hiroshima peace institute how alarming are these latest reports about steam emerging from the cracks under fukushima how serious could this get. it's a very serious and alarming development because this started to happen specifically out there are two large earthquakes in the last few weeks there was a six point four earthquake on the thirty first of july and a six point zero earthquake on august twelfth and so what this would indicate is that there may have been some breaking of some of the plates and some of the structures underground that happened during these earthquakes and they there could be radioactive water that's venting into the soil and what's more as the it has

cracks are opening they're making their way to steam and radioactivity is making its way up so first of all this will make it much more difficult for workers to work there because the problem will not be contained within the building contained within the structure of the reactor vessel and so it's harder for workers to work in an area in which radiation is emerging from unknown and unsuspected places and it's an indication that that radioactive material is moving underground also workers say the damage was done when the earthquake struck not after the tsunami swept through such a facility like this happen lots more earthquake proof given their regularity in japan. yes. this this facility you may remember it was designed to withstand an eight point zero earthquake and what we had was a nine point zero earthquake and so these facilities were designed with the best case scenario in mind and clearly there is much higher earthquakes are possible so

yes if it's the case that we should there's certainly a great deal of evidence that appears to suggest that the first reactor reactor number one was melting down by the time the tsunami hit so if that's the case that the reactor was melting down as a result of the earthquake and not as a result of mr nonny night point of maybe something that has the potential to happen throughout japan and that would put the reliability and the design safety of all of these reactors in question and just to refer back to that first point about the radioactive steam there is continuing to eat is aftershocks so when you have a fragile structure that's already suffered a great deal of damage and you have continual aftershocks at the level of six point zero there's there's been some even higher. what we have now is we have the radioactive core that has melted down into the basement into the bottom of the containment vessel of these reactors and if the radiation level is going town where

it's being monitored inside the buildings and if the water pressure is going down and the temperature is going down it's not as though the radiation is just suddenly going away it means that the radioactive material and melted core is simply moving further away from where it's being measured and it may have as a result of these aftershocks to be moving down out of the building itself so that maybe why we're seeing radioactive steam and as you can see earthquakes even when they happen at a high level they're not individual events they're followed by a series of subsequent earthquakes and so we're seeing now that these reactors were not safe for earthquakes let alone for tsunamis one of the not going to be enough i mean if the earthquake structurally compromised the plant and the safety of its nuclear fuel and now we have this steam another very hazardous situation what is going to be time to close down the reactor it's likely. well in my opinion now i

think that is has been this is been a clear example of the fact that natural disasters are certainly much stronger than our ability to prepare for them. and there's there's all kinds of natural disasters that can strike plants and so these these reactors only function well in a perfect world in which things don't go wrong and that's not the world we live in so i think we need to question the viability of these reactors as a concept all together dr robert takeouts live via broadband with us thank you very much for your insight thank you. well you have all mine for more on the news we're covering here let me run you through some of the reports lined up now at our t. dot com the struggle to stay alive by selling your own organs the grim reality for poverty stricken indians who are preyed on by the illegal bodyparts market. and there's no rocking the vote between russians leading pair watched the president

law is somewhat it from deutsche bank believe the ruble could win back some of its positions although it will not be quick there is scope for the will to recover given the fact that it will prices so far are quite resilient that 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 offer a significant value at the same time of the fact that risk levels are elevated across the border across the world economy that i think will act as a deterrent to the very fast recovery in the world and i think this recovery will take some time. venezuela may transfer up to six billion dollars worth of its international reserves from europe and the u.s. to russia brazil and china an opposition lawmaker says he's obtained documents
