were encouraged to decide when to talk church 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 that i would not have gone to guantanamo altered but rather. being equally important of british intelligence services to british intelligence offices quite regularly. in programming on the one hand they were physically present when i was being abused they saw my. guns pointed at 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
3:03 pm
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 there's yet another 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 purposedly 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 angered human rights groups so much that they've refused to give evidence or go to inquiry meetings. there's also a controller see about the chair of the investigation so peter gibson used to be the intelligence services commissioner the government doesn't see
3:04 pm
a conflict of interest there but many m.p.'s do we have should have confidence that the judge presiding is not somebody who has been heavily involved with secret service in the future in the past and i think 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 tortured or 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 that took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people who were involved in or should we take them to the wood and if the government goes against. this inquiry but it's going to be in secret you will get to see those
3:05 pm
people involved in your torture then people will lose. any support any idea that 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 radicalization whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture you are emmett r.t. london. britain has been sentenced to four years in jail for trying to stir up last week's rising using facebook they said it was just a game insisting no rioting broke out as a result of their posts but they became the first people to be sentenced by judges for massive alarm arrest that's what england in a separate case remember between sixty miles and two years police in handling
3:06 pm
stolen goods nearly thirteen hundred suspects were brought before the courts david bowden a hundred times of decision it's huge five years dot com says he'll have to regain their credibility by. having had both because of the shaken last week with people we've been unable to keep the streets safe i think we're seeing quite a superficial and dangerous kneejerk reaction now from the police and the authorities they try to regain that or for it think it's superficial to see people being hounded quite severe sentence is often quite a minor role in the riots and often for crimes such as stealing a bottle of water or some ice cream which i would've been very unlikely to face charges in jail sentence if if the problem weeks before any strangers because remailed seen my kneejerk reaction to people working for rights to say they want to
3:07 pm
have a riot even if they haven't followed up with organizing the right itself 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 a mass scale but one which actually has more dangerous for of regulations for your average law abiding citizen the people who actually want to have for and conversations about how we tackle the problems we have are going to face more problems from clamping down on social networking and free speech then any of the actual limited number of troublemakers we had. well global markets have taken a nosedive after the leaders of the e.u. strongest economies fail to calm fears of a deepening crisis angle america 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 all really seemed to help keep the single currency afloat ask the
3:08 pm
sender bushell reports. the key decision is they have announced a single united euro zone 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 because sarkozy the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals and. this may make him even more unpopular because the people of europe but in polls in opinion polls they say that they tell you turn on the street lose the european integration angela merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of your opponents which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said the euro bonds are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries bit so they refused
3:09 pm
to bail out the rising problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this the groomers 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. with some extract from skeptical about whether the recovery measures by paris are helping here in the long run this car unless they will act up an angle. out 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 for no political will not in
3:10 pm
germany nor in the rest of the eurozone countries for as surrendering national sovereignty to a collective entity that has any decision power so that it's simply a similar 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 the central asian republics trying to and the rest of asia in the middle east and if that is is created then you can have 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 no new austerity there is no out to this crisis. still ahead new evidence of negative work
