coming your way short of. a very warm welcome to you this is our see life from moscow human rights groups are boycotting a british inquiry into allegations of torture saying the government's taking an irresponsible approach to the case while activists insist 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 emmett's read 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 terror suspects. was 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 or to back room had it not been could be involvement of british intelligence services i spoke to british intelligence offices quite regularly. and they were physically present when i was being abused they saw. 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 there's 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 control to say 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 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 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 anecdotes he. two men in britain have been sentenced to four years in jail for trying to stir up last week's rising using facebook they said it was just a joke insisting no rioting broke out as a result of their posts but they became the first people to be sentenced by a judge as a massive alarm lest that's what england in a separate case remembered between sixty miles and two years from handling stolen goods nearly thirteen hundred suspected prizes were brought before the courts david bowden a common sense of the social issues website is you divide dot com says the all

attempts to regain their credibility have been too far. off dorothy visibly shaken last week with people with 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 as they try to recreate. it superficially you see people being hounded quite severe sentences for often playing 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've been very unlikely to face charges. jail sentence lost if they committed for a long week before any strangers because we never seen. a kneejerk reaction to people working trying to say they want to 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 in

a mass scale but one which actually has more dangerous for occasions for your average law abiding citizen the people who actually want to have frank 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 with a limited number of troublemakers we had. well markets have taken part of the need is the strongest economies fail to calm fears of a deepening crisis anglo-american cause the call for the creation of a central economic body which would ensure your as a members take more financial responsibility but they brushed aside suggestions of expanding the bailout fund or releasing europe wants to help keep the single currency a flate 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 this one small problem which is the people of europe haven't been asked 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 unpopular because the people of europe but in polls in opinion polls they say that they don't need the european integration angela 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 the euro bonds are not 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 denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this the rumors that they

say are trying to bring down the euro attacks 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. well some experts are skeptical about whether the recovery measures proposed by berlin and paris will help the euro in the long run political analyst and author f w engdahl things the e.u. 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 i think above all with russia the central asian republics china and the rest of asia in the middle east and if that 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 not only austerity but there is no up to this crisis. still ahead for you this hour new evidence of negligence work is that japan's fukushima say the cooling system was due to fail before the fear is that by the mobs the moment. the thousand public glimpse of

ross's new generation finds yet with the highlight of the last a mammoth sky and the fact that they have the biannual monks observation all things the lucrative deal find on the ground on high speed aerobatic displays in the sky. and watching the action for us. what an amazing day it's been here for the max two thousand and eleven international annual show what money is wrong research 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 t fifty strike that he gave. and how could he not with the new who is it was pulling it

just the sky pieces of the station a piece of 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 stealthy t. fifty 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 the pool 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 tribute 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 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 i'll let it i'll let you go to tom bargain for the meantime i just need to find the keys. this is one of the new hoops of russian aviation it's called the in this twenty one it's time to design the 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'll have to be as modern as it says. as it is to survive the competition. as a sort to mid-range passenger jet to 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 were not for us on these markets. the market for what we hope we will hobson for our home

market. also says. they're confident the m s twenty one will be able to technically match its competitors with a third of it built like complicite materials and totally u.s. banks it will save on that crucial substance feel powerful in the one persists to present some. approximately fifteen percent or so of course operation of course. but the m.s. twenty one also follows the earlier sukhoi superjet as 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 like airbus is done in europe we use for engineers engineers capacitive from suporn company so-called soon to go to political illusion it's early days yet but with a wealth of aeronautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying

high the m s twenty one will put a new generation of russian airliners up in the clouds tom boston marty. losses bringing you the best of back trying to level throughout the week stay tuned for more highlights from last check power dosh. the other wild me's dowen work is the focus shimon nuclear facility in japan say that further structural cracks have been found at the plant and that is releasing radioactive steam but they also say that pipes and at least one of the reactors was seriously damaged before the devastating tsunami hit the area and mobs but the allegations raise concern that facility was doomed even before the quake triggered the disaster problems were deteriorating pipes at the plant had been reported is the cooling system a failed to stop reactors going into meltdown after it was hit by the foreseen so high waves the plant's been leaking radioactive material since the disaster despite

efforts to clean it up professor christopher possibly of the european commission on radiation risks says that nuclear energy to power should be abandoned altogether. it was very silly to build reactors on what is clearly a fault line and in an area where there are known to be. quakes. we see the result of having to you cannot really believe that you can create these things and expect them not to come out and not to 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 pawling that really we cannot afford to use this method of generating electricity because you can't stop it just now because that would bring the whole of japan to a halt because it depends so so much from what we've got here is a situation where you've got fission taking place no most neutron concentration neutron flux and seawater. and then effectively we're producing

a very large quantities of radio nuclides all the time and i haven't been able to deal with that 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 international atomic energy to syria now. the un is pulling out its dolphin made growing concern about a violent crackdown by government forces against demonstrators it comes out today saying thirty people have been killed since cheap seize control of the northern port city of latakia but director of the center for research by zation and michel edge of the gulf ski says the hype around the syrian crisis is being orchestrated from abroad i think that this is really part of a public relations campaign. to double is the syrian go. without addressing the fundamental causes of the crisis this is the notes of peace. there

still. is an insurrection by. well over the most serious. that is. known only by government sources let's examine israeli and lebanese sources say the protesters have heavy machine guns so. i think. the united nations decided to move to remove its is no essential stuff stuff essentially. as a prelude to tomorrow's session of the united nations security council. around says it's ready to resume international negotiations all eyes disputed nuclear program he's on extended sees russia's efforts as key to restarting the talks south according to the iranian foreign minister he's all my visit to moscow two ounce currently under four sets of u.n. sanctions cutting that is out of a report. well washer of course has always been against this tough approach to the

iranian nuclear 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 of the return all the reigning officials to the negotiation table in return for a gradual removal 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 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 we'll 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. going to all the stories around the world are you in for the finale they want to speed up the trial of balls and so as does real. concerns even poor health they want to try sixty nine year old nottage for the massacre fust and then try him on the charges fearing that his condition might longer allow him to stand a long trial not. used to reading the genocide eight thousand was the say one
