in britain are pushing the government to take the power to stop and search terror suspects away from police the law was first introduced in march and landed a job or if both houses of parliament don't agree to prolong it but as a band of reports there are still some dubious legal loopholes in britain which are leaving some suspects locked out for years without charge the family is in complete . good hands. the anguish of a family torn apart. the. party who asked us to do you suppose i'm not going to lose some. son son is one of britain's forgotten terrorist suspects held in custody for five years without charge trapped in the twisted depths of its justice system we drove him home to his very weak nickname properly i knew none of these hitchens whom

rebirth because you could see. our son was arrested in two thousand and six on alleged terrorism offenses he hasn't been tried here because it's not the u.k. that wants him but the u.s. it accuses of supporting the taliban and being involved with websites it calls extremist one of the websites servers happen to be in america and that's why it's after him people. if they committed anything occurred in this country and they should be brought to justice here and charged if released and that the get on with their life five years is with prison and is is store issue britain won't release him because of a treaty signed in two thousand and three in the post nine eleven crackdown it means the u.s. can extradite terrorist suspects without a hearing or even showing any evidence to has families relentless fight for justice

is the only thing stopping them quote america says nobody. see. america's. only the people who provoke us with something but not all and none of the government workers to. this is why a towel how was arrested at his father's shop just over five years ago since then the family have seen their son once a week for fear they won't see him at all if he's extradited to the states in prison here tell her writes poetry and teaches english if extradited and convicted it will be a supermax jail solitary confinement and life without parole extreme measures to those who know the man born and educated in london i'm very surprised that the british courts have not treated him on sale at least in all these these years

because it's completely clear that he's not any kind of threat to anybody there are four more like talha including bubba our maid britain's longest detained without charge prisoner gary mckinnon and another fighting extradition since hacking into the pentagon seven years ago both t.m. town has suffered from asperger's syndrome which helped keep gary out of prison unlike the muslim suspects gary mckinnon is say you know white middle class english boy and and tell. a very highly educated. british middle class boys and they're both asians and they're muslims and it tells you is sort of something rather awful about our society despite opposing the treaty in opposition the government's done little to overturn it only an independent review in sic timber townhouse families gone to the

european court of human rights in a last ditch bid to get him tried here it's taken five years to get this far the town has fathers not giving up hope yet are there bennett. london. still to come on the program this hour a target locked america persuade the media to well put parts of a missile defense on this territory with washington pushing out with its controversial plan. in time italy is deciding on the future of a highly unpopular assyria package intended to put a leash on the country's runaway debt the country's lower house of parliament is voting today on whether to pass an extensive set of tax hikes and spending cuts the measure has already been passed by the senate despite weeks of wrangling and mass public protests but even if passed many wonder if it will be enough because authorities sarah first reports years of economic stagnation and

a culture of government excess may have left it too little too late. as italy prepares to once again tighten its belt in the light of mule stares he measures politicians it seems they found a way to save themselves and pennies we publish a new of the inside of the parliament you see it. as like a free. hand with very cheap prizes this cheap yet exclusive many was leaked to italian let's press a magazine this is name it should instead be stray. before we voted the. prize for the people of the parliament. five million some for around a thousand. a year for the controversial spending doesn't end there politicians have four hundred thousand euros allocated for learn which courses naver million

euros spent just for their stationery and it's the taxpayer left fitting that was paying bell in fact this being hard for many to stomach that we are an economic crazy arlene are my people like us. because they don't care they interest our feet only to care are they interested so we are. outside the parliament building a protest meeting and has been growing led by guitar in a ferrari has been a hunger strike for months. all the people here are hungry for a future for their children we don't see that at the moment but to make the boards actions listen we know we need to get three million people here we hope there will come their protesting against what they say is the politicians of piece of taxpayers' money and an inability to deal adequately with the economic crisis in the country still across italy costa to be cuts in social spending in people's wages when it comes to the politicians it seems no expenses. people's appetite for

change is growing thing here. in the protests that have their voices heard so far no politician spoken so that they vow that the hunger strike will continue and that remain here until they get some answers. artsy. and as our team is peter all about his gas discussed the growing crisis in italy is not unique in the united states there is great concern over the engine of the world economy the once mighty and now shrinking american middle class that more in crossed are coming your way at eleven thirty. but here's a preview. i was amazed to discover when i got to the united states that everybody who's in the trade union is considered middle class you just mean guys with jobs that's what you mean if you're very terrible the family capital or capital gains or whatever you just meet people who make money from money and people earning money

from work most of these middle class people make money from work and they should cast their lot in with the poor of people who make their money to the point where being employed means middle class well i once. dealer i know in both once said very powerfully that for him working class men people who didn't want to work. was emerging from you know when it collapsed and i would put it another way around when you get a crisis the middle class becomes the people who have to work and they start having this illusion that they can become rich like everybody else and suddenly realize hey we're just like the poor guy down the street that i used to pass by. washington has strongly backed the libyan opposition since the revolutionary wave engulfed the state it's now equally enthusiastic in its support against syria's

president bashar asad but the concern is whether america's decision to take sides could backfire on its closest middle east ally israel archie's going it should count looks at a possible repercussions of u.s. policy as nations in the middle east and north africa are torn between the struggle to bring about change and the struggle not to let that change ruin their lives washington views the arab spring as an opportunity to finally see some of its longtime foes crumble you know. iran is not an arab country the arab spring to spread two absolutely. and i think in many ways it's a matter of time before that kind of change before and revolution occurs in the ones under the umbrella of arab revolutions washington is also beating the drums of regime change in syria iran's closest ally in the region violence within the country has been widely condemned countries like russia and china call for both

sides in syria to talk and end the bloodshed while america is blaming our side a loan the transition to democracy in syria has begun and it's time for assad to get out of the way i think assad's days just like the darfur number and let's hope that bashar assad is next in line they were overthrown khadafi they're going to have a proxy or client government in tripoli the next step is syria they want to overthrow syria next to take advantage of any movement that exists in syria to overthrow the assad government now they have a more democratic government a more humane government but a government that is allied with the united states and after syria the next target will be iran itself watching regimes go down one by one american politicians are filled with new hopes and aspirations some went as far as to predict the arab spring would spread all across the world what this is all about is the arab spring and bashar assad is next and even places like china and russia and other places they're very uneasy this is about people aspiring for freedom and that's what the

libyan people have just achieved oh that's wishful thinking on the part of john mccain but it speaks volumes to where the real orientation is in washington not just of the republicans but the democrats too so they would like to overthrow the government in china they would like to overthrow the government in russia they would like to overthrow the government of venezuela and cuba or wherever people are independent of the dictates of washington but when it comes to syria and iran washington doesn't seem to be just fantasizing about revenue. it actively fosters the process by pledging support for anti-government movements there but some say this might eventually turn against america's closest ally in the region israel what you have with. with hamas could essentially spread to many more places and then you have a much much larger population base in an extremely hostile position towards the very existence of israel by throwing its support behind revolution makers and really say

washington the seeking to increase its influence and control in these countries let's look at how things have been in the control department so far eject thousands protest against the u.s. backed military there that's still in power last week a gyptian storm peace really embassy and rage by the killing of five egyptian border guards in the lead near washington supported leadership is taking over but the country is at risk of plunging into tribal war syria the opposition includes those with radical agendas so the aftermath of the so-called arab spring remains very murky and difficult yet washington seems to be using the herb spring to fulfill its long time goals but the fear is it might end up getting the opposite of what it wishes for an undermining the whole region i'm going to shut down reporting from washington r.t. israel strained relations with turkey and egypt threaten to leave a dangerously isolated from the whole region a situation made even more delicate by the coming decision at the u.n.

on whether to grant the palestinian statehood turkish political commentator told r.t. that israel's current policy is leading nowhere. israel now is getting away from the notion that it needs rational democratic allies in the region and this isolation now taking place because israeli coalition israeli decision makers on the political level are choosing even to to if you will believe those doors allies by refusing to apologize for turkey for what has been taking place and hoping to get away with what has been done against them certainly puts for forward in mute in israeli image in the people's eyes that the country will continue in spalt fashion on the seas while the world or around them in their near vicinity is is really changing powerfully and radically. on the ground in libya the

national transitional council has given everyone in the besieged procrit office stronghold bani walid two days to leave or a face a full scale attack last week opposition fighters launched an assault on the city but the offensive stoled in the face of fierce resistance rebels however claim they've made gains in the city of red valley sixty kilometers east of kid obvious home town of seared and even though the whereabouts of the embattled leader is still unknown stephen rambam who is the have an international investigative agency says it's just a matter of time before he's found. khadafi is a nut but he's a very clever and up and he's a north that's managed to survive for forty five years and i'm sure he took note of how osama bin ladin was captured and i'm sure he took note of how saddam hussein was captured and i'm sure he's avoiding those mistakes but he will make

a new mistook. a full interview with steven rambam is coming up in around fifteen minutes time. so the u.s. and remaining have sealed a deal under which america would station its much debated interceptor missiles in eastern europe under the agreement the us will build a network of military facilities in the country over the next four years but this is only the first stage of a plan with more bases to be set up around europe the stated intent of the program is to the fan you are up against attacks from rogue states such as iran and north korea but according to pierre gill and professor at paris west university the fact that there is no real threat to america or its allies puts a question mark over just who the shield is aimed at. i don't think it's really a military necessity no one really believed to do was a possibility iran europe its besides did not reach could not reach western europe

so it was the deployment was. scrapped in the czech republic not as a new deployment in rumania but i think this takes up surely political washington probably wants to reassure the former satellite countries of the soviet union so it's a political move but hardly a military necessity and also considering the state of the us economy i don't think it's a wise move in financial terms one of. this we said all this it would russia at least he was achieving something corporation in russia and key issues but this new deployment is aware of antagonizing russia which is going to turn into maybe some kind of new arms race which is totally pointless not only because the effectiveness of that shield is problematic double but also because it's going to cost a lot of money unnecessarily because frankly i don't think iran is in

a position to attack anyone in the west pilot error has emerged as the most likely cause of the tragic plane crash in the russian city of which killed almost an entire top ice hockey team and we could girl ideas peter all of our brings us more on the latest theories. a report in a russian newspaper out today quotes sources inside the investigative committee saying that pilot error was the most likely cause of the fatal edstaston no the report says as the pilots failed to remove a parking brake the investigators have already ruled out a mechanical failure on the aircraft and thus low quality fuel may have caused this crash so they are suggesting that pilot error was the most likely cause now this pocking brake is essentially the same as the hungry called a car though it doesn't seem like a most obvious of of causes for such a dramatic exhausted listening to the on board flight recorders we have heard not

to the pilots the main pilots on board had said that he was sick and i asked the. the co-pilot's that they would fly the plane to minsk the flight of course was carrying the locomotive yacht us level ice hockey team as they were on their way to play the opening much of their cage season they were all all those members of the hockey team on board were killed the one remaining survivor a flight attendant who was on board will be interviewed by crash investigators as soon as they are up to it. now to find out if anything can corroborate this new theory the pilot and a parking brake was left on and not resulted in this trying to shut it all over importing them now let's take a look at some of the stories from around the world c.c.t.v. footage shows the moment a bus and two passenger trains collided during morning rush hour in argentina eleven people died and two hundred twelve were injured some of them children the

russia's fate is tied up with the growth of china and india are not at the moment looks reports and hasn't been affected by the downturn in developed markets and as compared to other. countries i think russia has been of course with brazil as essentially a commodity exporter which is exposed to movements in commodity prices which are affected by global growth it's not like china and india which are large enough that they can determine their own fate to make their own economic weather to a great degree because it depends on commodity prices which depend upon global developments. from the markets now well prices are heading down u.s. crude off six weeks highs investors concerns about the euro zone are taking precedence over tightening supply lights which is trading below ninety eight eighty nine dollars a barrel while branch is at one hundred and eleven dollars. and asian stock markets were shot down on wednesday shares of the financial sector were leading the losses
