the worst rate an air as for terrorists experts say the methods used to fight them have spawned even more extremism torture and the abuses which were just put out or going home over the river thinking it was full of our leaders and that significantly set its back on the world and try and defeat terrorism america's decade long campaign on terror has created a new phenomena more without borders and as many say without rules torture rape and murder that took place at the u.s. run prison in abu ghraib iraq as well as other u.s. prisons overseas brought global condemnation but key decision makers in the bush administration say what they did was in the best interest of their country and they would do the same again call it torture you think you can still be a tool yes rendition yes secret prisons yes wiretap. with colonel lawrence wilkerson was collin powell chief of staff when he was the

secretary of state under george w. bush he says some of the bush administration members deserve to be put on trial and he would be ready to testify george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted here oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping. that is order. the fact that there hasn't been a terrorist attack on the scale of nine eleven on the u.s. soil is often attributed to the harsh methods used in the last decade as a war on terror but counterterrorism experts say the fact that terrorists are successfully recruiting thousands of new members these days does not add to security in the u.s. and the whole world for that matter we've also seen other extremists networks like for us well in response things like u.s. drone attacks and often. so in some ways with the benefit of patients in pakistan u.s. drone strikes have killed. thousands of civilians and made it only

a handful of actual terrorists many of the victims' loved ones seek revenge by joining radical groups others like this young man who lost both of his legs and three family members in a drone strike gather in protest asking when will the killing stop we have made much more than a cottage industry out of the book my former boss colin powell was called the terrorist industrial complex lots of people were making lots of money all through this so-called global war on terror our war on terror. begins without god. but it does not in there listening to george bush's declaration of war on terror from ten years ago one is left one great whether it was the beginning of a vicious circle where the revenge would take more innocent lives and would start a new wave of terror i'm going to shake our reporting from washington r.t. and tomorrow we'll assess the effects of

a post nine eleven world both on the us and on those in afghanistan where many still don't know the reason why they were invaded in the first place. in this province think. its consequences. and let us. know. if i just got here it would be a surprise i've been here now for six months and this is going to stone ages where we are. all be back shortly with a recap of our main story so for now it's time for business with maria. hello and vulcan's a business here on our new pipelines are across russia on the other side of the country from nordstrom the risky gas pipeline provides a new artery to markets in asia and this is our see such out of a look at our travel there for us. this land is surrounded by some of the most and

there jihan green nations in the world consumption in places such as south korea and china is growing rapidly offering great opportunities for gas prone to cash in especially now as it has loads of gas close to the region and rated to be exported this new gas pipeline which was removed and is opening runs from faculty and through lots of us talk it is able to supply thirty billion cubic meters of gas annually lots of the russian seizes the round here need just a tiny part of that and that's why gas pump is desperate to find buyers for its extra gas and isn't talks with several contras might it's not all so easy at the moment stocks with china are dragging over prize and possible supplies to south korea are complicated by risk in transit through north korea but is there reason not a project to make use of the far eastern gas it is an alan g. plant and large of us talk gazprom is considering building the plant with japan's

a total corporation and if it's on stream in five years as planned the gas from here may be shipped to the world's biggest alan g. consumers south korea and japan. so let's take a look at the markets now or oil is their own after posting significant growth in the previous session that's as weather conditions and let's go still far from home with more tropical storms coming to thrust into the auction. and they go us markets just opened and they are in the red that comes after a report showed first time applicants for jobless benefits lines last. year has slipped back into positive territory and that's at this point the european central bank cutting its forecast for economic growth in the euro zone. and here in russia investors are pretty much following the uncertainty in europe the arts yes it is shedding. point two percent of all noise sites visiting point one percent this hour

let's take a look at some individual families on the my six look cool is among the main losers the company could face a several billion ruble fine as a federal and local police service thinks is overvalued fuel prices in the end of last year north nichols is also there on the spot reports resize finally sought in talks to sell its stake in the company and bucking the trend is after it acquired the eastern european arm all gold spike. and that's all we have time for this hour the headlines on the exit.

the official. line called touch from the queue jumps to. the deal among the t.'s mind the world comes to an r.s.s. feeds now with the one. on the wall she told. me it is easy. to. see.

all the battles are to have here's a recap of our stories goals as hockey community has nodded in grief after a rough was that the motive was almost entirely wiped out a possible scenario of what a slob i'm going to pull out. firm said while the survivors only political direction the boat had been taken to moscow for specialist treatment. the u.k. government faces legal action as doctors about a new inquiry into shades of the weapons inspector and he was the man would live the lives of the new iraq had no w m d's ahead of the invasion in. the middle

east to build up palestinians start a peaceful campaign for statehood ahead of the new web vote in israel tensions grow as police on true blood tests are calling for a better government. also its bloody years in american jails the russian parliament today going to be resting on the racial divide bierria its subjects for conspiring to smuggle drugs but moscow slides unless seven edition as. well turning our attention to libya now and more insight into what's happening there our interview is coming up next. today we're joined by mr thomas have a bird european commissioner for human rights talking to us from a star wars thanks very much mr however for joining us now let's get right to well we know that there were cia prisons in europe and people were tortured and now you're pushing for the truth what more should be. there's

a lot more to know in fact because we haven't had a full account for what really happened and who took the decisions and on what grounds these black sites were established on european soil of the things that we still have to know what do you think is most important i think we have to learn from history and unfortunately during this period of ten years very serious human rights violations for a committed and we have an atmosphere impunity when it comes to these violations of human rights i think the truce has to come out on board really happened who took the decisions who allowed the establishment of these secret places of detention and thereby allowing torture to take place now this is a story came to light i mean there have been some governments ordering investigations will they found very little so far do you think it's possible that they're deliberately trying to play it down and if so is there any proof of them

doing so well there is an enormous pressure from washington to keep all this secret in fact instructions from from cia with the support of the way tell us not to give any facts on this so therefore it's not easy to investigate but i think that some of the european governments are going abroad they have to decide whether they think that the cooperation between the security agencies are more important than to look into human rights violations and break the fear of impunity ok well we're talking here about european officials authorizing these rendition sites but what about those who. actually masterminded and those words of directly involved do you think say officials will ever be held accountable for their actions unfortunately it's not likely but if the european governments involved could take steps to really put out everything they know and publish that it may start a process in the united states where the accountability also there is established

but why is it not likely. it's not likely because this is there is an atmosphere of security confidentiality around this. notion that when it comes to the activities of a security agency the truth should not be told to the public and i think that is a real problem because here we have had cooperation between the united states security agency and european agencies under which human rights violations were seriously seriously violated and it is very important that we know when we know that violations were made that we establish that there should be there were crack to control of the security agencies activities well there are claims that the u.s. and the u.k. said prisoners to be tortured in libya to the gadhafi regime does that seem likely to you yes it's very likely and it fits a pattern and also they are now documents being discovered in tripoli which show

that this actually did happen ok and you've seen a proof of such things happening yourself no not myself but i have been reports last week from human rights watch showing that there was such activities and typically this is not made solely for comment from the cia in washington because they have the policy of never making any public comments on such revelations or the commander of the rebel forces that. he demanded an apology from western powers over he. is a legislation two thousand and four and i legit he was arrested in bangkok and had to get off the forces for torture now how do you think they're going to explain their alleged murky deals with gadhafi to the rebels because now they're essentially on the same side i think that question has to be given to the washington there is an explanation to be given there but he was obviously one of

those who were picked up during this so-called war on terror he was in guantanamo that's shown and he was obviously one of those who were badly treated and i think he and others this is an apology some of them who were brought there to count on him or to the secret places so detention or to partner countries of the united states in this where they were tortured they were not probably not innocent but still even people who are on good ground suspected they have the right to certain protection when it comes to human rights including not to be tortured now the rebels are now in control and foreigners are reportedly in danger especially black africans because i well there have been accusations of them being about these mercenaries how do you think this will affect the building of a democratic society in libya you know i'm not an expert on the my focus is on your apart obviously there is a problem there and human rights organizations have already reported about problems

when it comes to how rebels have dealt with africans who have been accused of being mercenaries for folk about we could just do our best in order to ensure that those people are well treated some of them of course may well be genuine refugees from other parts of africa who were trying to reach europe and past violent gun got stuck and i think it's very important that also european governments deal with refugees from libya coming from other parts of africa in line with the international standards when it comes to recite. policies i looking at the humanitarian crisis now in libya that has been reported what do you think is the area that needs the most attention at the moment and how are they going to going to go about solving these humanitarian problems i mean this is very general can we break them down first of all it is important to establish security in the country so that the normal life could start again secondly to build democracy because there

was no democracy there which is a very difficult challenge and i hope that there could be a generous approach from from europe to share the experiences we have when it comes to the steps to be taken in order to build institutions democratic ones and to allow for. genuine willo people to be channeled into political decision making ok well going back to what you were an expert on those black sites what do you think is the next step now that the us the story house come out into the public in poland they have already started through the prosecutor and investigation and i think it's very important piece work is protected and there is no attempt to slow down his work because he's sensitive when with the united states in in rumania their work hasn't really started there was one investigation by a political group from the senate but the prosecutor has not started an

investigation and i really hope that office will now take the initiative and start and are rushing the situation and come up with a report now you're saying it's important that the investigation is not locking earlier you were expressing your concerns that there could be directives from higher up to to not give enough information how do you go about going about that hurdle knowing you're dealing with governments here is very difficult because of this notion that activities by the security agencies and their cooperation between themselves should be kept secret at all cost i think that is a really good notion that. we have now to start discussing because so many human rights violations have been committed under that notion and the time has come to establish a democratic control of the security agencies they should not be allowed to take action which violate basic human rights yes should not be but do you think that just let's just look at concrete actions we're talking about what is right what is

wrong from your point of view but concrete absence i'm just wondering really legally speaking will it be possible to get all of the truth out i think it would be very difficult unfortunately but i hope that the discussion that may come now will encourage some other political and strategic braver steps and a better position when it comes to this because it's not acceptable that we have states within the states who are run on undemocratic places and violating human rights and the security agencies must be put under democratic control and they are not for the moment in my opinion but you said you're using the south anniversary of nine eleven to raise the issue of cia black sites so why is that because. you know. i think the first priority of course is to pay respect to the victims of the attack on the united states ten years ago but then we also have at the same time to look at how the u.s.

government and european governments respond to this attack and unfortunately i think there is a lot of lessons to be learned from how this war on terror so-called war on terror was conducted which allowed for very serious human rights violations which unfortunately also had the effect that terrorism has spread the militant groups have increased. the number of people killed and many of them innocent doing those ten years they also deserve some respect in this situation and therefore i think it's absolutely important that. the way we handled this gruesome attack will be an honest discussion so that we don't repeat this in the future and speaking of the militant groups you just released a report based on your visit to russia's north caucasus which is of course region are marked by sporadic violence by terrorists how do you assess the struggle

against the terrorists over there the struggle is still going on there have been some positive initiatives taken a lot of money has been put on budgets in order to improve the standard of living in the area. there is a focus more on the social dimension of this the roots for terrorism which i think is very positive but unfortunately still also a problem of impunity that the crimes which have been committed including by law enforcement forces have not been satisfactorily addressed and people guilty responsible have not been brought to justice so there is still a need to do more when it comes to that aspect all right well thank you very much sir for your time mr thomas however he my rights commissioner of the council of europe thank you. thank you.
