8:03 am
a bit of history in the making as this came from philadelphia to moscow had to stop about eight times to refuel but still we think that an experimental aircraft has never made such a journey from america to russia prime minister putin has been here he came to make a small speech he came to show is the encouragement for the business the economic and financial deals going on here with a new line of jets indeed he also came to give his secretive stamp of approval on the ground you sukhoi t. fifty the fifth generation striker jet that is set to rival america's f. twenty two raptor the f. eighteen as well. i haven't seen it nobody here has seen it except the prime minister it is due to be unveiled a little bit later this afternoon it will only fly for about one minute so it's a very quick secretive showing of this new piece of a russian military hardware this new t. fifty has stealth capabilities it has a supersonic ranging speeds and it's absolutely loaded to the nine with a state of the art technology and it's i'm i'm just thrilled to see it and see what
8:04 am
kind of maneuvers it can do and there's loads more to tell you about here but some i think i better get into a we've got a lot of people to speak to out here more to see it's not going to pass you over to my colleague tom barton who has a story about a brand new russian civilian lined up other is going to go on the market hoping to sell an immediate hundred crofts when its debut is going to get boeing a run for his money so for now here's artie's. this is one of the new hoops of russian aviation it's called the m.s. twenty womb 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. as a short to mid range passenger jet it will be going up against the likes of boeing seven three seven an airbus has a three twenty both will established planes its makers are fully aware of the
8:05 am
challenge ahead we understand it will not we are not interested in this market. market. but we hope we will. all market. will succeed. they're confident the m s twenty one will be able to technically match its competitors with a third of it built like complicit materials and totally us it will save them the crucial substance fuel. present some. approximately fifteen percent or so of course operation of course. but the image twenty one also follows the earlier sukhoi superjet was one of the first russian airliners built in years the efforts are being led by the united and craft corporation which is trying to make russian plane companies work together why can't the us has done in europe we used to be engineers and use capacity from soup or
8:06 am
company. to people to political illusion it's early days yet but with a wealth of aeronautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying funny that the m.s. twenty one who puts a new generation of russian airliners up in the clouds tom johnson. well r.t. is bringing you the best of mach's twenty eleven throughout the week stay tuned for more highlights from moscow suggest powered air show. hands. off approach. future flight. are two types to the max air show global markets have taken
8:07 am
a nosedive after the leaders of the e.u. or strongest economies fail to claim calm fears of a deepening crisis angola merkel and nicolas sarkozy call for the creation of a central economic body which would ensure euro zone members take more financial responsibility but they brushed aside suggestions of expanding the e.u. bailout fund or releasing euro bonds to help keep the single currency afloat artie's daniel bushell reports. 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 important because the people of europe
8:08 am
haven't been asked but in polls in the opinion polls they say that they don't need to omit the european integration angle or merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this but they dismissed the use of your abortions which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said that you are a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries did so they refused to bail out the royal problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounced the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this group is that they say are trying to bring down the euro a tax on financial transactions was also announced. that the purpose was to homeless economies and taxes across europe so a very wide ranging proposals on offer here. well the measures announced by medical and sarkozy are aimed at saving the long term future of the euro but investors are
8:09 am
not seeing the why they want an immediate fix are just spoke to one business expert to explain why she thinks paris and berlin are off target. unfortunately this is not going to make much difference for the ongoing crisis all the news that came out of this best conference was quite negative for the market the most negative i believe was the fact that it was announced that the european fund a full stabilisation facility that 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 is 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
8:10 am
really addressed the markets needs for clear concise actions 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 for 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 any time soon. in other news human rights groups are boycotting a british inquiry into allegations of torture saying the government is taking an irresponsible approach to the case activists insist the probe is
8:11 am
a quote waste of time and public money because downing street will have the final say over whether or not to disclose the results are met one torture victim who also doubts the inquiry will bring justice. 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. 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 i am completely one hundred percent sure that i would not have gone to guantanamo or to back room. with the involvement of british intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence officers quite regularly. but.
8:12 am
they were physically present when i was being abused they saw my shop and my lecture. 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 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 as the document that's 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 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
8:13 am
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 or go to inquiry meetings. there's also a 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 but many m.p.'s do we have 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 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
8:14 am
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 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 support any idea that the government is actually going to try to. carry out justice many fear 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 will lead to further radicalize ation whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your and it's all to me. back to our top story the max

8:22 am
each hour of live from max twenty eleven again the t. fifty super fighter jet making its world debut just landing here in fact at. the max twenty eleven supposed to only fly again like i said for a minute we got much more of a show there got to go twice live for you to see that the t fifty superjet back down on the ground after its world debut. says it's ready to resume international negotiations on its disputed nuclear program the islamic state sees russia's efforts as key to restarting the talks that's according to the iranian foreign minister who's on a visit to moscow in artie's katrina as our allies following talks at the foreign ministry go through that iran is currently under four sets of u.n. sanctions what's russia are proposing to ease the situation. or washer of course has always been against this approach to the iranian nuclear agenda saying that the
8:23 am
only way out is a diplomatic one and that in forcing further sanctions on iran would only worsen the situation and it's proposal is a step by step plan which has been deemed acceptable by the iranian side and also cautiously welcomed by the united nations security council and that plan proposes a greater openness in the return of the reigning officials to the negotiations table in return for a gradual removal of all of the un imposed sanctions against iran of the iranian side is said to be very satisfied with the russians proposal of the step by step program and said that it is prepared to open its doors to international observers. make sure that. representatives from the international atomic energy agency from the united nations security council can see that iran is not interested in creating nuclear weapons it only wants to have an existing peaceful nuclear energy program
8:24 am
but it will not tolerate any further sanctions against it will see those sanctions . has basically an infringement on its right to peaceful nuclear energy and this is exactly where russia's step by step plan comes in and seemingly of course satisfies both sides will of course have to wait to see how that plan is implemented and whether it is as effective in reality as it has been so far in words. now to put it lightly some members of the international community suspect iran of developing nuclear weapons what's what's tehran doing to try and disprove those claims which of course for years it's been saying are not true. well to iran maintains its position that it is not attempting to create nuclear weapons it's simply wants to have peaceful nuclear energy for the country and of course skeptics
8:25 am
specifically in the united nations security council have frequently doubted that and that was of course the reason for imposing those sanctions and that led to a sort of a lockdown because tehran buckled down and refused to admit international observers in return the united nations imposed more sanctions so it was kind of a dead end situation for a while but iran is now saying that if the step by step plan is implemented it will be more than happy to allow international observers to come and visit the country to visit the only so far existing nuclear power plant in iran that's the bush era nuclear power plant built by russia to make sure and reassure everyone that it is only interested in creating peaceful nuclear energy to power the country's needs and of course the bush air power plant which is which has been started by germans in the one nine hundred seventy s. and finished by russia just recently is still not fully operational we know that it is already working but it is still not been launched and it's still not producing
