11:06 am
taken a nosedive after the leaders of the e.u. strongest economies fail to calm fears of a deepening crisis angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy called 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 archies daniel but 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 this 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. this may make him even more important because the people of europe but in
11:07 am
poland in the opinion polls they say that they don't need the european integration angle or merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of euro bourne's which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said that you're 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. 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. but some experts are skeptical about
11:08 am
whether the recovery. measures proposed by berlin and paris will help the euro in the long run political analyst and author of william and all thinks they you needs to look outside the west to secure its financial future. i think the collective economic government that merkel and sarkozy are talking about is really a desperate political ploy to try to create the illusion of stability where the underlined stability doesn't yet exist there is no political will not in germany nor in the rest of the eurozone countries for as surrendering national sovereignty to a collective entity that has any decision power so it's simply a shimmer that's been thrown out there to try to calm the markets the alternative really is is to get a stable export market relations and i think above all with russia that the central asian republics china and the rest of asia in the middle east and if that is created then you can have
11:09 am
a growth vector that leads you out of this debt impasse that the eurozone countries are in without that and so long as as the dollar system dominates international financial relations that moody's standard and poor's do the rating on sovereign debt for european union countries and that there is no independent european credit rating agency and there isn't is no. growth perspective only austerity there is no up to this crisis. human rights groups are boycotting a british inquiry into allegations of torture saying the government is taking an irresponsible approach to the case activist insists the probe is a waste of time and public money because downing street will have the final say over whether or not to disclose the results or his lawyer and that 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
11:10 am
were encouraged to decide when to talk to terrorist suspects. 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 but 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. and they were physically present when i was being abused they saw 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
11:11 am
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 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 authorised agents to participate in its actuations 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 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
11:12 am
a conflict of interest there that 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 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 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 we'll have this inquiry but it's going to be in secret you won't get to see those people involved in your torture and then people will
11:13 am
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 radicalization whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your anecdotes he did. still ahead for you this hour here in our two the worst oil spill in decades in british waters we have to you on the disaster of a green group say will have a grave consequences for the environment. but first the leader of russia's chechen republic says seven militants including

and the bomb was also filed with the destructive components and to the explosive device that was hidden in a pipe that was a lying at the back of the car that was parked a very near to the market it was a remove couldn't trolled a bomb ass of the criminals installed homemade electric dida nadirs onto it and the russian committee so it was the people who first noticed the suspicious looking car being parked and so they called the police meanwhile it's not the first time full of such kind according to russia's alpha's b. has a quite recently another large scale a top. and as those times on the russian railways in the moscow region was prevented as a by the special forces. to iran 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
11:16 am
minister who's on a visit here in moscow to iran is currently under four sets of u.n. sanctions katrina's are reports. of course has always been against this tough approach to the iranian nuclear i'd gend saying that the only way out is a diplomatic one and that in forcing further sanctions on iran would only worsen the situation and its 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 negotiation table in return for the gradual removal of a 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.
11:17 am
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 but it will not tolerate any further sanctions against it will see those sanctions as 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. it's coming up to eighteen minutes past the hour still ahead new evidence of negligence workers in japan's fukushima plant say of a cooling system was doomed to fail before the facility was hit by the market tsunami. the oil giant shall says it's still doesn't know what caused the leak at
11:18 am
one of its north sea platforms the company was forced to admit it's responsible for the worst spill in british waters for more than a decade about thirteen hundred barrels have leaked so far confirmed it's still struggling to control a second really but said the first pipe rupture is now under control and the flow of oil into the sea is down to one barrel a day greenpeace has criticized the company for taking too long to make information about the spill public adam on it who is and their g. analyst from the environmental organization platform says a lack of transparency is a very sign. what's important is that the u.k. government has been rather small in claiming that it's regulatory breasts and is. against the kinds of things hoped for in the one super last year i remember this particular spill calls all those claims and question it's
11:19 am
a particularly since two. year for breeding. program life. sort of shows we. certainly need big players of all the moving growth he needs us to know that shows using dispersants highly controversial. and the use is questionable because well they do on the smaller more difficult for. staunchly on. from sources. government for these even to the stairs to climb in the pool don't have adequate information coming from show certainly insurers and public at large are still in the dark about a lot of the polls show has almost very small bits of information and there's been no official statements coming from and you see more. members of part of the company
11:20 am
including. the board of directors which there's call into question seriousness through which the company is taking action. a look now at some world news in brief for you were an explosion in southeast turkey close to the iraqi border has killed nine soldiers and wounded several others turkish officials say the troops died after their military vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb they suspect kurdish militants were behind the attack last month twenty people died in a clash between turkish soldiers and members of a kurdish rebel group that has been calling for autonomy of the area for almost two decades. the u.n. says it's pulled out non-essential staff from syria where president bashar is hoping to end a five month uprising against his regime comes after the syrian army reportedly withdrew from the eastern city of floor with witnesses saying they saw convoys of army vehicles leaving the area activists say at least thirty two people have been
11:21 am
killed since troops seized control of the city in a crackdown last week and it's believed over eighteen hundred people have been killed since the uprising began in march. where un prosecutors have announced that they beat up the trial of bosnian serb general. due to concerns over his poor health they want to try sixty nine year old luggage for the stubborn need to massacre first and then try him on other charges fearing that his condition might not allow him to stand a long trial which is accused of leading to genocide of eight thousand muslims in seventy in one thousand nine hundred eighty five and the forty three month siege of sarajevo in which ten thousand people were killed. workers at the fukushima nuclear facility in japan say that further structural cracks have been found at the plant and that it's releasing radioactive steam they also say that pipes and at least one of the reactors were seriously damaged before the devastating tsunami hit
11:22 am
the area in march the allegations raise concern that the facility was doomed even before the earthquake triggered the disaster. problems with deteriorating pipes at the plant had been reported for years the cooling system failed to stop reactors going into meltdown after it was hit by forty meter or forty meter high waves the plant has been leaking radioactive material since the disaster despite efforts to clean it up dr robert j. cups up here a senior police institute says that the evidence brings into question the path. but 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 the tsunami a nine point zero earthquake is something that has the potential to happen throughout japan and that would put the reliability and the design safety of all of
11:23 am
these reactors in question 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 down 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 the melted core is simply moving further away from where it's being measured 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. next if the life business update with kareena here on r.t. stay with us.
11:24 am
i don't look until offices update joining me all the seven same. as a dog day in russian financial history it's when the country declared its own default back in one thousand nine hundred eight called between a fall in crude prices and the asian crisis russia was caught short or on national down a cab and also has were not in line for a perfect storm to the ninety nine zero eight crisis makes what we're saying is that i would look like a walk in the park i mean ninety nine zero eight the equity market lost ninety three percent of its value last week the the russian market also about fifteen percent of its value paid her but it was nothing compared to the ninety nine zero russia has moved on a lot further for you know russia russia now it performs along saw it a lot of the other emerging markets and looks to its lead in ninety nine zero eight it was really a case of its own. and a pretty terrible period for anybody had to get through the exchange rate is
