i'm simply say a british investigation into tool challenged asians is a far the government says any aid will the side whether to actually release the results. four years in jail for unknown the riots two young british better put behind bars all faced in jail messages on facebook calling for people to leave their hometown. more wobbles on the global markets off to paris ignore the advice of investors on how to save the euro zone from going on. and they be asian sensation russia's best generation five just made its international debut . business ten years after russia the credits the call to nine hundred ninety eight

the country led the two thousand and eight financial crisis with a budget surplus but is russia in for another perfect storm for me in our business sports and. a very warm welcome this is our seed live from moscow a human rights groups the boy causing a bush easing corner into allegations of torture saying the government's taking an irresponsible approach to the case as a business is 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 on his or emmett spread on torture victim who also downs in choir it will bring justice. walking a tightrope of pain first this again it's emerged that's how britain security

agencies were encouraged to decide when to talk terrorist suspects. 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 condom altered but rather had it not been could be important british intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence officers quite regularly. and they were physically present when i was being abused they saw my shot at 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 prisoner with supper 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 has angered human rights groups so much that they've refused to give evidence or go to inquiry meetings. there's also contributes the 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 future in the past and i think. 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 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 if you hear about the types of torture 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 ban goes against that. 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 the 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 well said what happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your and its r.t.e. wanted. to a man in britain happen sentenced to four years in jail for trying to stir up last week's rioting using facebook both men posted messages on the social networking site horning for their friends to join in the arm wrestle they later said. it was just a joke insisting they rioting broke out as a result of their pace that's what lived our city came david ballard

a commentator for social issues websites the institute of ideas dot com made us being with us here just about now do you think that four years in prison for calling for riot never actually happened is a just sentence. no i don't and i think we're seeing quite a having had. recently shaken last week with people we've been unable to keep the streets safe i think we've seen quite a superficial and dangerous kneejerk reaction now from the police and the authorities they try to regain that will it superficially seem to be been hounded quite severe sentences for oftentimes quite a minor role in the riots and often for crimes such as stealing a bottle of water or some ice cream which they would have been very unlikely to face charges. jail sentence if they can if you go for a long week before any strangers because we may all seen. new jerk reaction to people. to say they want to have a right even if they haven't followed up organizing the right itself which is

already i think. the distinction between action and streatch so you have one of the cases where somebody was trying to organize rights which obviously is a crime and something you want to deal with quite seriously when you have somebody else who said he wanted to organize a right didn't go to extreme lengths to try to organize that so it was a joke and he's been treated with exactly the same severity simply saying that out loud on the social networking sites on the person who was trying to organize a right so i got here it is very saudi authorities now do you think trying to gain some sort of credibility see in making these quite tough arrests you think after being quite severely criticized for the way that they handled the riots and the absence of plays. i think they are but i think the question you have to ask yourself whether they will actually restore much or stories to your credibility by cracking down in quite severe and often incoherent why people who are really

heavily involved in the problem you have to the question of the decline of will power through within really society is a long running social problem it's a very complex one to deal with but i think we can do so if you so that people who are growing up in the streets are shocked if police officers he was visibly sharing in their enjoyment of the briefly new p.c. and not necessarily be shaken from their actions because teenage and very sad and when she said that he thought the rights were a good idea given community service as we saw today. now facebook and twitter have come under fire for helping to spread the public disorder that we saw taking place last week and david cameron has said some people convicted of rising class be banned from using them do you think that that will happen. i think that would be a very dangerous move if they allow that to happen again you have to try and separate off action from speech in this regard so people can use social networking sites and perhaps of said things on social networking sites which we regret

a moment later maybe a joke that goes wrong that's very different from going off to try and organize a right to try and. actually for me go out there to break the law or even saying that people should be doing it and supporting that even if you don't know about serious about it and actually doing that and i think they're trying to clamp down on social networking this way is quite a kneejerk response to a new problem in terms of people's ability to communicate and organize on a mass scale which actually has more dangerous for vacations for your average law abiding citizen and you think of for example a man last year who was also simply jailed for making a joke about throwing up an airport on twitter and who essentially made that joke and instantly regretted it and then had a pretty long so actually it's the people who actually will have free conversations about how we tackle the problems we have are going to face more problems from clamping down on social networking and for me personally that relies on limited number of troublemakers we had of course but surely there in lies the problem the

difference of the authority space and trying to distinguish between these people making jokes on these social networking sites and these people are actually planning to stir up trouble how does the of course he's going about making that separation without perhaps this worrying trend that you suggest that we could see further restrictions being placed on social networking sites in the u.k. . well i think that's a job for the police and the law courts to try and ascertain that's the notion of justice where we have a legal system to ascertain what somebody is involved in it was a crime whether they should be guilty and how they should be punished for it there's a danger when the process becomes involved in particularly the government trying to send a strong message to people which then becomes something slightly separate from whether somebody was making a joke or genuinely trying to start or write or involved in a race it's already trying to use that process to make a statement to people which is going to actually make things more complex and is

not going to do very much to regain police or parisians they respond to what many people would see as unfair incoherent reactions ok david barden commentator for social issues web site institute of ideas dot com thank you feel thoughts. here now global markets have taken the nays dive after the needs of the e.u. strongest economies fail to come fears of a deepening crisis anglo-american and nicolas sarkozy call for the creation of a central economic policy which would ensure you're as a members it take more financial responsibility but they brushed aside suggestions of expanding the e.u. bailout fund to releasing euro bonds to help keep the single currency escalator actual 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 haven't been lost nicolas sarkozy 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 your pub and you know this but in polls in opinion polls they say that they don't it won'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 europe poems which many have said would be the solution agreed and eventually they said that euro bonds are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries that so they refused to bailout the rising problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this the 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

harmonize economies and taxes across europe so a very wide range of proposals on offer here. still ahead this hour new evidence of negligence to sit down in the past say the cooling system was doomed to fail before the facility was hit by the nazis an army. now the first public glimpse of russia's new fifth generation fighter jet was the highlight of this national air show near moscow and the second day of the biennial max as a person or stays cool lucrative deals signed over ground and high speed aerobatic displays and the skies artie's russi chaison watching the action for us. what an amazing day it's been here for the max two thousand and eleven international annual show one is rory so you say 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 t.p.t. strike and he gave the stamp of approval and how could he not with the maneuvers it was pulling it just for the sky to pieces a truly sensational piece piece of machinery that is designed to go against america's f. twenty two an f. eighteen the idea was actually jumped up between russia and india it was a mutual deal to produce the super secret stealth the teeth if 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 russian swift pull 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 to move 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 on 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 a 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 bargain for the meantime i just need to find the kids. this is one of the new hoops of russian aviation it's called the in this twenty one 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 its. as it is to survive the competition. has a suit to mid-range passenger jet but he begun 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 they were not we're not terrorists on these markets. the market will be hard but we hope we will opt for our whole market. we'll see. 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 feel. it want to see is to present. approximately fifteen percent or so of course operational course. for the emmys twenty one also follows the earlier sukhoi superjet as one of the first russian airline is built in years the efforts being led by the united aircraft corporation

which is trying to make russian plane companies work together and i cared for us was done in europe when you were so. opposite you from so called on point. to go to political solution it's early days yet but with a wealth of very nautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying high on the m.s. twenty one puts a new generation of russian airliners up in the clouds from boston to. los he's bringing you the best of man twenty eleven throughout the week stating for more highlights from last case that powered assaye. seem any different than it is in japan say that further structural cracks happen founded upon russians were leasing radioactive steam. they also say that claims that at least one of the reactors was seriously damaged before the devastating tsunami hit

the area inaudible for more on this let's talk to professor christopher busby of the a european a committee on a radiation risks he joins us live now from wales in the u.k. many of us are being with us here professor now reports suggest that the reactor is up but actually mcclelland were damaged by the initial earthquake and not the some not only way given that us quakes a common place in japan or does this say about the safety of the rest of japan's nuclear reactors. whether i mean the obvious response is that is that they should actually all be shut down i think most people believe this and they also believe that it was very silly to do reactors on on what is clearly a mine and in an area where there are known to be. great. we see the result of having done the business of the obvious point but in the wake of these reports what should happen now in your opinion to japan's network of nuclear facilities. well in my opinion of course they should they should they

should all be put into cold shutdown i mean and about their plan should ultimately . give up nuclear prizes and fight well as you probably know my opinion is nuclear power itself is a strangely dangerous process and that you cannot really believe that you can cage these things and expect them not to come in and not have these sorts of accidents and other accidents will occur in the future and these accidents are so terrifying and the consequences of them are so pouring it really we cannot afford choose this method of generating electricity because you can't stop it just not because that would bring the whole of pre-planning to a halt because it depends so so much from the. wind that that is a problem has to be faced now on the government's on the plots operator tepco have come under heavy criticism from many courses for the reliability of the information that they've been releasing about this disaster do you think that we now know the

true extent of this crisis. no i know that we don't because i've actually visited there and i play can quite sophisticated radiation measuring equipment and i've been able to satisfy myself that the concentrations of radionuclides on the ground even as far as one hundred and more kilometers away from the plant are very much higher than they've been saying and indeed some measurements that i've been making on open source from vehicles from as far away as tokyo so that the concentrations of cesium one three seven for example in these filters is more than one thousand so i'm so. in terms of a concentration in the concentration at the peak of the weapons in one thousand nine hundred fifty three so we're talking about serious serious levels of radioactive clouds and the problem is that this is affectively being ignored by caught by the authorities concentrating on the external very straight so they say so long as the extent of those rate is not more than so many microsleep or whatever it happens to be everybody's going to be safe in some sense comparing it with

natural background radiation but actually it cannot be compared with natural background radiation the red for the very very high level of contamination even as far south as tokyo for example we found one sample in tokyo that had levels of radioactivity harden levels inside the chernobyl exclusion zone very serious matter say president how serious all these new cracks to the stock sell off the consumer part should we be alarmist. well the fact that steam is coming and we know from measurements made in california that was steam contains the isotopes for thirty five this isotope is associated with neutron a radiation of chlorine and so what we've got here is a situation where you've got fission taking place you know almost neutron concentration mute from flux and seawater. and effectively we're producing very large quantities of radionuclides all the time and they haven't been able to deal with that i was told by somebody who heard this from fish when he was talking

to the prime minister of japan who said that the releases from the plant on the order of ten to the power thirteen crows. so we're talking about something that is absolutely ongoing and it's just it's just being ignored is being it's being it's not been adequately reported by the authorities in japan or indeed in the us on international atomic energy marring times professor christopher busby scientific secretary of the european commission on radiation risks many until after. the open . now the number of terror attacks and counter terror operations is on the rise in russia's north caucasus region just over the past twenty four hours a day for a dozen militants being killed by security forces well she's missing a quarter of a life from the caucuses the latest on all this i mean do we understand that the counter terror operation is still ongoing in the region take us through what's happening that. the latest the latest information that we have

received is coming from change where during an operation seven militants have been killed and one of these seven has already been identified he was one of the high profile terrorists working in the region of russia's north caucasus he was also preparing a suicide bombers as well as he was planning future attacks in the region the identification of the other six is now in process of the chechen republic of arms on corbett of this operation was that cafferty planned and prepared in advance meanwhile of the state was also large by and not the rate that happens in the neighboring republic of dagestan where a group of militants attacked a column of the russian military forces two russian servicemen were killed and in a fighting broke out late enough that six militants were killed according to russian officials of the number of a terror attacks when told by thirty percent in the first half of this year i'm

going to you know we know that russian security services are on high alert times in the caucuses all of a managing to keep a lid on things. that's right average one hand is on high alert and just recently basically at the same time and a very close to bilocation of the fighting that i was talking about earlier in the republic of dagestan russian federal security services how to diffuse a bomb with an un presidential and a massive amount of one hundred kilograms of t.n.t. the bomb was also filed with a destructive components and the explosive device was hidden in a prime that was lying at the back of the car that was part of very close to the markets russia's antiterrorist committee sas that it was the people who first noticed this is specialist looking car being part still they called the police meanwhile it's not the first attempt of such clients that has happened quite

recently according to russia's after the had another large scale attack or was it prevents it this time on the russian where you always in the moscow region was prevented in july by the special forces. many thanks for keeping us updated on these the dean of course of a bear reporting from the front lines of russia's war on terror in the caucasus region ok that is the way the news this is our headline shortly but first of all the business with cutting. hello welcome to business here in r.t. august seventeenth is a dark day in russian financial history it's a country declared its only the fault back in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. caught between a fall and could prices and the asian crisis but she was caught short. a capital says were not in line for a perfect storm to. the ninety nine crisis makes what we're seeing of them i would
