alpha take to the skies to the council. witnessing history in the making with the debut of the super secret stealth fighter russia's new through voice teeth fifty details on that and so much more coming your way shortly. a very warm welcome to you this is ours eli from moscow human rights groups are boycotting a person's inquiry into allegations of torture saying the government is taking an irresponsible approach to the case based 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 and has made one torture victim who also downs 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 terrorist suspects beg 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 that i would not have consequent on him all to go wrong. with the involvement of british intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence officers quite regularly in programming guantanamo 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 am 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 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 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 and good human rights groups so much that they've refused to give evidence or go to inquiry meetings there's. also you can travel 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 to 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 i'm not going to 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 that the ministers and agents who british 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 but the types of torture that took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people would involved in torture and we take them for the wood and if the government goes against. it it's

going to be in secret you won't get to see those people involved in your torture then people will lose. any supporting 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 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. . now two men in britain happened sentenced to four years in jail for trying to start last week's rioting using facebook both then posted messages on the social networking site calling for their friends to join in the arm rest. they later said it was just a joke and they rioting actually broke out as

a result of their posts and it was live told the germans take nothing for a bit more this thanks for being with us here it's disgusting now four years in prison for not one riot is this if that sentance. well it's it's clearly a sentence which has been increased because of the whole circumstances but i think it's a little bit rich of jordan blackshaw i'm terry keenan to say that this is a joke because clearly in the sort of situation that we had here in britain a week ago for the people who were really afraid to go out because of mortal rampaging around the streets as they were in some of our cities this is not a joke at all and i think actually it's quite right for the courts to take this very seriously is incitement to criminal behavior and of course these people should go through the normal channels and possibly go to jail for what they've done which is inciting rioting very serious offense and also we've got

a situation also though where you know david cameron and the cabinet and particularly the city of london the bankers have also been doing a looting of our economy i mean they have been massive bailouts they're using these bailouts to what they're actually doing with that it's a lobby the government for more and more power and less restrictions on what the bankers are able to do we're now in this banking spiral as a result so you can see that there are is a certain amount of proceeds from the government to actually criticize these two individuals ok with the last let's get back to these riots it was pretty clear wasn't that the police couldn't get those rights under control last week so are they now perhaps taking these arrests too far as you said was only incitement to causing violence so i mean for example one time. stealing i think is two scoops of coffee ice cream after a riot is snaps into a car. there are

a capital that's right this is very dangerous i think for the courts to be putting people down for numbers in years for a very simple offenses like speeling for example is one of them so i think actually what's going to happen is they're going to be a bit of a backlash against this if sentencing the way we actually decide who's way people are sinners in this country is in itself is quite controversial all the little solution charge of the sentencing council is actually a close personal friend of it is about murdoch and and so there are questions about his judgment and the judgment of those who are deciding in britain how our people are sentenced i think what will happen is with certain of the more extreme cases with this writing is that people will actually get a lot less sentences you know much lower sentences possibly even be released because they've been in jail for certain it out on after they've been to appear on at least one of these two facebook people actually is going to be definitely appealing against this four year sentence now let's talk more about the issue of

facebook and twitter and other social networking sites and all of this the british prime minister has said that the free flow the information can be used for crime in the government now we're trying to take control of the social networks something. well i think to a certain extent behind the scenes there already are controls on them i think facebook have done everything they can to make sure anybody even under age people of facebook which is really terrible i mean you shouldn't shouldn't be you know sort of eleven twelve thirteen year old children using these kind of social networking sites and i think actually it's quite sensible to make sure that the rules that already exist are enforced but the last thing we need is a knee jerk reaction against our ability to communicate it's quite clear we have to separate the difference between all of the communications and those kinds of communications which involve incitement to riot incitement to other kinds of criminal behavior and of course because of things which are actually part of a conspiracy such as the phone hacking scandal it's now become clear there were

communications going around on e-mail to do with hacking into people's phones and that was actually a criminal conspiracy as we'll see in the months to come so i think we've got to separate the two let everybody communicate freely but if people are actually in such incredible offenses and making things worse generally they are criminals and should be arrested as such doesn't mean to say you should then restrict the actual communication wait until people communicate and then arrest them if they committed an offense and of course some are suggesting this so with these accusations being levied against social networking sites by the government we're seeing something of a double standard taking place the risk of men was very swift to praise such sites and twitter as tools the democracy during the arab uprisings but now considering people in the u.k. for using the very same sites. well one of the ironies of this is as you try and restrict these internet sites what happens is that actually if you have for example

as you trips just did when they closed down the internet in certain places during the tahrir square the uprising earlier this year is that people actually come out in the street so they have a chance anyway and i think this is being used actually as you're hinting at there as an excuse to regulate more more government interference in the way we communicate which i think would be a terrible thing and i think it's a bit rich coming from david cameron who and the government i mean who are many of whom are we talking about george osborne boris johnson david cameron who are members of this elite oxford bullingdon club and i'll quote now one of the things they said back in ninety six was that they smashed the place up and set fire to the toilets i think they should take a close look at themselves and their club that they used to be part of in oxford a drinking club where they would smash the prices up one occasion apparently two bottles of wine were smashed by these behaviors or guards they were liars vandals

to me later got really go lecturing the rest of us moving away from university antics and talking more about what actually happened on the streets of london last week because that was very serious why do you think that those riots happened in the first place do you think that there in the years some sort of split in society . well i think to a certain extent people see the looting that's been going on by the bankers and by the politicians colluding with them actually allowing them to get away with it by big corporations are now angry it is one of the reasons they're on the streets but of course there's no real excuse for this criminal behavior the anger is there what we've got to do is address the anger and make sure our younger generation of color hundred percent chance of getting a decent job and have a future because as many of them out there right now it's tell you who are angry because they see no future in conservative britain. tony gassing of. from bristol many parents. or global markets have taken

a nosedive after the leaders of the strongest economies fail to come for years of crisis angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy called for the creation of a central economic equality which would ensure euro zone members take more financial responsibility but they brushed aside suggestions of expanding the bailout fund already europe wants to help keep the single currency afloat. 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 lost you can see 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

probably know this but in polls in the opinion polls they say that they don't close the european integration angela merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of the euro bones which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries did so they refused to the royal problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this group is that they say are trying to bring down the euro tax on financial transactions was also announced . because of the purpose was to home a noise economy and taxes across europe so a very wide ranging proposals on offer here. this hour the worst oil spill in the decades in history and says without anyone that is not

a green groups they will have grave consequences going viral. a billion dollar exhibition at. promising lucrative deals displays at the latest aircraft spectators staring up at the sky after. generation of a moment when state highlights. what an amazing day it's been here for the max two thousand and eleven international annual show one is ruiz to show you we saw history in the making today with the debut of the super secret stealth sukhoi the t fifty it's been hidden from everybody it came out today much to the approval of the prime minister vladimir putin he was here to watch the debut of the stealth you can drive.

and how could he not with the maneuvers it was pulling it just tore the sky to pieces a truly sensational piece piece of machinery it is designed to go against america's f. twenty two and f. eighteen the idea was actually dreamt up between russia and india it was a mutual deal to produce the super secret stealth the teeth the idea is to create over a thousand in the coming decades and hopefully have them in service by two thousand and fifty we saw some spectacular shows from the russian knights and the russians with some very high maneuver high speed closely knit acrobatics the americans here the french are here the italians in here the baltic be here doing their acrobatic stunts as well and we saw a lot of robotic systems. we saw the drones large drones tiny drones we saw helicopter drones as well so it's been a fantastic day and r.t. will continue to broadcast live throughout the weekend the week and the weekend here it just on the outskirts of moscow i should turn now to my colleague tom barton who has

a story about the new russian passenger jet that is soon to come on the market possibly already selling one hundred that could be the next order on the table now let it out let you go to tom barton for the meantime i just need to find the keys. this is one of the new hopes of russian aviation it's called the n.s.a. trying to warm its talented as 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 happen as modern as it says it is to survive the competition. as a sort of mid range passenger jet it will be going up against the likes of boeing seven three seven an airbus has a three twenty both well established planes its makers are fully aware of the challenge ahead we understand it will not we're not for us on this market to market the car but we hope we will opt for multiple market.

losses. they're confident the m s twenty one will be able to technically match its competitors with a third of it built like compazine cereals and totally us it will save them that crucial substance feel. of oneness is to present some were. approximately fifteen percent or so of course operation of course. but d.m.'s twenty one also follows the earlier sukhoi superjet as one of the first russian airliners built in years the efforts being led by the united aircraft corporation which is trying to make russian plane companies work together like air persons done in europe we wish the engineers are engineers the purpose of the problems on putting through. the political illusion

it's early days yet but with a wealth of aeronautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying high on the enters twenty one will put a new generation of russian airliners up in the clouds tom boston party. a lot is bringing you the best of max trains you have been throughout the week states seen for more highlights from last powered assets. hands on. my approach. shape our future flights hire large sea change to the max air show. now and work is that the fukushima nuclear facility in japan say a third of the structural cracks have been found in the past and this is releasing

a radioactive steam they also say that pipes and at least one of the reactors was seriously damaged before the devastating tsunami hit the area and not what the allegations raise concerns that the facility was deemed even before the earthquake triggered the disaster problems and deteriorating pipes at the plant has been reported to me as the cooling system failed to stop reactors going into meltdown off it was hit by the fourteen so high waves the plant's been release radioactive material since the disaster despite efforts to clean it up top drop or take a piece of the harassment piece institute says publishing is reactive didn't f.p.s. be equipped to cope with natural disasters. 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 and i point out the quake is something that has the

potential to happen to out of here and that would put the reliability and the design safety of all of these reactors in question so when you have a fragile structure that's already suffered a great deal of damage and you have continue all counter shocks at the level of six point zero there's there's been some even higher. what we have meant was we have the radioactive core that is 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 it 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 it i love all they're not into. with that answer followed by a series of subsequent earthquakes and so we're seeing now that the reactor is going to save thirty quakes let alone personnel. who were dying shell says it

still doesn't know what caused one of its north platte formes the company was forced to admit it's responsible for the worst school in british waters for more than a decade about betty hundred barrels of so far confirmed it's still struggling to control the secondly this is the first rupture is now under control and the flow of oil into the sea is now down to one barrel a day or green this is criticize the company if it's taking too long and take information about the oil spill public knowledge seasonality and less from the environmental organization platform says i lack of transparency is a warning sign. what's important is that. when rather small. groups or even rests. on resilience against the consequence of poor papa would not support last year i wrote this

simple still calls for all those. groups and particularly since two. year for. growth. and also share was one point. in the second need we preserve all the new growth. we also know that charles using dispersants isn't quite a controversy or. the uses or questionable because while the boos are upon you or on the small. world for. the proper options to actually. steam from sort of government bodies you can tell the story is still counting on how adequate information coming from shore certainly ensures and public at large right across the world. sure it was on the east or very small bits new information and there's been more social statement sponsor and you are seeing your own members of

the company see or hear which goes on to question. what companies do. what the leader of russia's chechen republic says seven militants including a top or terrorist in india have been killed by security forces that comes with a major anti terror operation underway in the north caucuses six militants and two police there have been killed and a major terrorist attack involving massive quantities of explosives prevented artie's going into court records. two russian servicemen were killed when a group of militants attacked to be column off of the russian military forces of the republic of dagestan everything happened during a search operation that was carried out of body of the russian troops and in a wooden area of the republic they were looking for the militants who earlier farida point the russian military forces early on a choose the night and as of the moment of the fighting continues and what we know

so far is that six militants have been killed in that battle basically at the same time and very near to the location of the fighting russian federal security services have a defused a bomb with an m. presidential in a massive amount of one hundred kilograms of t.n.t. and the bomb was also filed with a destructive components and the explosive device 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 removed be controlled a bomb ass of the criminals installed homemade electricity donators own so it's and the russian committee said 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 pope such kind according to russia's alpha's b. has quite recently another large scale attack and at those times on the russian railways in the most the region was provided set of by the special forces plenty
