a very warm welcome to you this is our see live 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 at this 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 of the store and it spread 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 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 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 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 and 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 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 says 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 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 lawsuits rising using facebook they said it was just a joke insisting no rising broke out as a result. when they became the first to be sentenced by judges after a massive love that swept them in a separate case three men were jailed for two hundred sixty. years for the use of. nearly thirteen hundred suspects in the world was fooled so far david bowden the commentators have side. of the deal far as he's attempting to take this.

visibly 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 as they try to recreate or forward through it superficially to 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 for which they would have been very unlikely to face charges at least 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 on a mass scale but one which actually has more dangerous verifications 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 the limited number of troublemakers we had. you're with are still ahead for you this hour more wobbles on the global market. ignore the advice of investors on how to save figure as a going on. to all the world these dow and tepco the company that operates japan's devastated because she when you play a power plant has confirmed radioactive material is still present in the surrounding soil reports also claimed the pipes of at least one of the reactors was seriously damaged even before being hit by the devastation tsunami in march the allegations raise concerns of the facility was doomed from the beginning it's here eight hundred wet reporting begins the cooling system failed and went into meltdown after the massive earthquake and the following fifteen miles away from the plant's

been leaking radioactive material since the disaster despite continued efforts to patch up the damage professor chris for possibly a european commission on radiation risks says that nuclear energy in japan should be found together. it was very silly to build reactors on what is clearly a line and in an area where there are known to be. great. we see the result of having to you cannot really believe that you can cage 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 but really we cannot afford to lose 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 much from nuclear power what we've got here is a situation where you've got fission taking place know most neutron concentration

neutron flux and seawater. and then effectively we're producing very large quantities of reading replies all the time and they haven't been. well to deal with 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. public glimpse of russia's new generation fighter jet was the highlight of. moscow and the second day of the. lucrative deal signed on the ground that high speed aerobatic displays in the skies. 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 rory sushi 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 jet and he gave it his stamp of approval and how could he not with a maneuver as 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 an f. eighteen the idea was actually dreamt up between russia and india it was a mutual deal to produce the super secret stealth the 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 they put some very high maneuver high speed closely knit acrobatics the americans here the french are here the italians are here the baltic be here during the 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. well that was our rory sushi here in the rest of the r.c. team set to bring you the best of this year's man throughout the week will do stay with us for more high flying highlights from moscow's jet powered air. global markets have taken an aes dive 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 your as a members take more financial responsibility they brushed aside suggestions of expanding the e.u. bailout fund or releasing euro bonds to help keep the single currency afloat artie's a new partial 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 asked because the the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals and is suspected this may make him even more unpopular because the people of europe but in polls in opinion polls they say that they don't want the european integration angela merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this but they dismissed the use of euro bourne's which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said that euro bonds are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries bit so they refuse 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 home annoys economies and taxes across europe so a very wide ranging proposals on offer here. about whether the recovery measures by going in paris will help the euro in the long run political analyst and author and dell thinks the e.u. needs to look outside the west is it here it's. 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 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 what's to syria now if the u.n. is pulling out its dolphin that growing concern about violent crackdown by government forces all demonstrate as it comes that to this day of a thousand people happen killed since troops seized control of the northern port

city of latakia the director of the center for research on devise ation and michel it to the gulf school says the hype around the syrian crisis is big olcott straightforward rules. i think that this is really part of the public relations campaign to to denver is the syrian government without addressing the fundamental coals of the crisis this is no peace for this movement it is an armed insurrection by. well organized mercenaries. and it is confirm. not only by government sources let's examine israeli and lebanese also say the protesters have heavy machine guns so. i think. the united nations decided to move to remove its is no essential so stuff

essentially. as a prelude to tomorrow's session of the united nations security council. let's take a look now at some other stories from around the world this hour un prosecutors have announced they want to speed up the trial of general came luggage concerns over his poor health they want to try sixty nine year old love it for the stripper needs a massacre first and then try him on all the charges fearing that his condition why not allow him to stand a long trial lodges accused of leading the genocide of eight thousand muslims and stripper elites there in one thousand nine hundred five and the siege of sarajevo in which ten thousand were killed. and turkish forces have reportedly launched a massive retaliation against kurdish forces in iraq after eight servicemen were killed in a rebel attack on a military convoy reports suggest some fifteen warplanes strafed several of bases of the kurdistan workers party of the turkish leaders said their patience with the

what's on line few right now a russian company reveals how much it's a space hotel is going to cost and what kind of accommodation will be provided for space travel it's. also in line for you russia's top politicians the maker of better than that image pollution take time out by going on official trip to the bison volgograd video and many more of our website all to. other a public about in the caucuses is gearing up for an early election following the death of its president the stakes are high for any future leader as the region still recovering from the conflict with neighboring georgia i'm next we talked to one of the presidential candidates prime minister. about the challenges his country

faces. we are in the republic of a pause here where preparations are under way for the august presidential election . is the country's prime minister and also one of the candidates and he's here with us today the upcoming election is the second presidential election after. recognition what does it say about applause as

a more independent state. we have been an independent state for a longer time than we've been recognized so this is in fact already our fourth election democracy is working its way into our society and so each time elections get more democratic the public gets involved more actively and so we expect this time it will be a democratic process the prime minister of your main competitor is the acting president how do you manage the country. the governmental mechanisms are working and currently in accordance with our constitution presidential duties are performed by the parliament speaker all the ministries are working as usual you with concerns that the elections would be falsified and promise to fight if your victory would be taking from you hopeful are you ready to go. alexion for it is nothing but lying to our own people it's the worst crime one could commit all of us here not because you will do everything to never let that happen political tensions put the country on the brink of civil war in two thousand and four is that the threat today. if

someone attempts to rig the ballot or pull some dirty tricks then of course it could be a threat. what will your foreign policy priorities be. our priority strategic partner is russia and our foreign policy will focus on relations with russia in addition to this we keep working on getting the other more distant countries to recognize us we're looking for partners for friendly states which are less dependent on nato as policy and the united states despite some quite high pressure from the major. such states are at their this process continues and it will not stop we are convinced that his cheating further international recognition will to a significant extent depend on how we keep on developing as a country on our progress in home affairs and what example we'll be setting. it's joining russia an option any time and if you church. we are highly interested in joining those international organizations that russia our strategic partner is

a member of for instance such organizations as the shanghai cooperation organization with his joint military program also euro sec and the customs union and many other organizations we'd like to participate wherever possible that's our interest but we are not talking about becoming part of another state and neither is russia thinking in such terms are talks with georgia possible. in a certain format the talks with georgia are still ongoing if we think of the geneva talks as for direct dialogue i think it is possible and will be necessary in future though right at the moment the prospects to reach a consensus on this matter appear quite negative first of all the georgian authorities have themselves restricted the possibilities for dialogue by adopting the law on occupied territories this doesn't leave any chance for maintaining a dialogue is there fear of another georgian aggression. we are quite used to it by

now and we have had to deal with a number of acts of aggression but now that we have a strategic partnership with russia which defines our mutual obligations it gives us reliable security guarantees and our society has stopped considering the external threat to our security as a priority issue we have other top priority threats to deal with now. how far is georgia prepared to go to restore what it calls its territorial integrity. these are the roots of our conflict that lie in the fact that georgia is claiming our territory as long as it keeps claiming it there is no way to reach an agreement. georgian refugees are allowed to return to the bordering district of golly are you prepared to let them return to their homes and so whom the capital of. this process has actually been completed those people who wanted to return did so well. those who didn't are adapting to their lives at their new places of residence and they should be receiving help both from the international community and georgian

authorities because the problem of refugees is a two way problem which should be addressed everywhere via a combined two way approach those people who can be brought back home should be helped to return and that's what we did in jew course well those who couldn't return should be helped find accommodation where they ended up living those people who can be brought back home should be helps to return and that's what we did in due time well those who couldn't return should be helped to accommodate where they ended up living those people who have been returned home want to be citizens with full rights we have been visiting towns and settlements in the bordering district of galilee jury in the election campaign and the main thing the district residents are asking for is to speed up the process of recognizing their citizenship providing them with passports and that's what we want to help them become our country's citizens with full rights and adjust to all international processes. this there is a whole generation of people that applies here who survived two wars with georgia during the past twenty years how is it possible at all for these people to live

peaceful lives. or if we speak of youth organizations we have twelve such groups in our cars here and two of them are participating in the fair election campaign their position is neutral and they're going to be observing the upcoming election ten other organizations have gone public with their decision to support my candidacy because it needs foreign investments but is it possible to attract capital to projects in the country when its legal and economic status is doubted by some potential investors we have a law that provides guarantees to businesses and international investors and we are working on other additional mechanisms to provide security guarantees for their business we're very interested in it and our laws will be increasing the extent of security guarantees for their business we do want to attract more investors the russian city of sochi. very close to a cause here is there any profit for applause in the fact that so much is being invested into saltines olympic projects which at the current stage were already co

working on this project were supplying the olympic construction sites with materials and there are a number of other projects which we are interested in participating in and it is possible we will at any rate we're already receiving support on some communications projects as you know we've obtained a loan to restore our railway system and we've signed a letter of intent pertaining to the reconstruction of our airport and we are considering all this in the context of the sochi olympic project. sergei shamba thank you for your time with us today. for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
