6:01 am
worldwide news around the clock this is our duty of life in the russian capital with me. moscow says it will support a un resolution endorsing the peace plan drawn up by the united nations envoy to syria kofi annan but russia's foreign minister has said moscow will not back the mandate if it contains an ultimatum let's get more on this now from joining us live from central moscow sara russia has taken a firm line with the u.n. over syria so far are we starting to see a change there. certainly i think this is going to be seen by many people is perhaps a toughening of russia's stance towards syria russia is that me out it is voice. of concern in recent days to you know just came in and said that in the country even to say to the guy who's for humanitarian trees in syria now later on today the
6:02 am
security council against anything to discuss a draw statement was forced by france now that's going to cool the possible further measures if president bashar al assad fails to implement like a fiend on six point peace plan and now we had foreign minister sergey lavrov speech in today at a meeting with his lebanese counterpart and he said the russians are ready to back that statement and not just the statement that actually thought this was a resolution of that crucially once again in the wording they did say that only in the wording that's new also made since not really what we're going to come down see once again the previous t.v. tape that russia has wielded at these u.n. security council meetings has been because of the wording how will they see as one sided resolutions say they get if there's anything in the wording that they feel nonce in all states and then the not won't get head say that's really going to be once again what it wrestle so well to have been these increased words in the last
6:03 am
couple of days i will say one very much a city statement can be tilted later on today that's going to be what the sticking point is again so you talk about kofi annan six point peace plan of course of the u.n. special envoy to syria we're talking about here a six point peace plan is there any optimism that this mission could actually work seeing that all previous attempts have more or less failed. will save any stumbling block to the security council's efforts to try and be food and again is he staying this as sort of back and full day for the wording of the resolutions to think that the statement today is not a strong as a resolution as he had lovers that it would be. willing to back its presentation if they can meet food and get some consensus on what that's calling for now we need a cape town six point plan who's the ferry much the stimulus things to what the arab league mission had cooled for when they were in the country that's the whole to the final humanitarian access that's the big one right now police if. you were
6:04 am
me the security forces from some of the protest areas now i was in the country when the arab league mission was going ahead to those very much a feeling among some of them that the syrian government but necessarily taking some of these points seriously and. it was in some senses a little bit of the fun in that sense now ok finance mission i would say have added weight behind it given that russia is being seen to increase the pool to some of the statements to be made in recent times to do things that arab league mission essentially these things equate key to the lack of cooperation in some of the polls they say that's going to remain a fold until we've heard from the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon saying that there's absolutely no time to wait one minute one hour delay means more people dead and that's very much the feeling is the same going violence within the last couple of weeks ago i mean suicide bombings and to me it seems that this life of great even the captors day i mean it
6:05 am
absolutely bites still this some sort of consensus is reached and of course this big this thing creates concern and makes me international left to find a solution in syria what i write about is i live in central moscow thinking. well i mean time syrian opposition leaders are admitting that some foreign governments are sending weapons to the rebels independent journalist james corbett believes those outside forces have no thoughts about humanitarian aid and are only concerned with regime change. well unfortunately the cycle of violence shows absolutely no signs of abating and absolutely those are blasts are particularly worrying because they were of course targeting the air force intelligence and national security buildings so it does seem to prove the point that assad been making for some time that there is clearly some international coordination and arming of these so called graham taig rebels who are who are supposedly doing this it would seem to point to that
6:06 am
there's been more reform in syria in the past year than there has been in the past fifty and if that's not enough to to at least to bring the sides to the table and start some sort of negotiation then one would have to imagine that nothing will so regime change seems to be absolutely you know visible course that you know the west and others have set their eyes on that certainly arming and giving weapons to. the insurgents is it is absolutely designed for nothing else than to cause more bloodshed and and the idea of doing that in a humanitarian fashion i think is laughable on its face and once again strike goes to prove the point that really diplomacy isn't the end game here in the end game is to get rid of assad and unfortunately we see that from the playing out right now someone has to hope that recent initiatives like me there the red cross call for the cease fire on a daily basis and things like that could have some sort of effect at this point it really seems the cycle of violence is just escalating. now the u.s.

has continued to send afghan detainees to facilities where prisoners had previously been tortured despite batting such transfers rushed by other report comes from the afghan human rights commission assisted by international open society groups evidence of new torture had already been covered by the details after writings guy . every year air national forces detained thousands of afghans and a good number of those are transferred to afghan interrogators now the report by the afghan independent human rights commission and a new york based open society foundations were heels that what awaits the detainees after being transferred is often torture and denial of due process the report refers to very specific cases and testimonies and basically asks whether the u.s. is complicit in torture there we're talking about some gruesome reports of abuse detailed in that report beatings suspension from the ceiling electric shocks of threatened or actual sexual abuse and other forms of mental and physical abuse

which are routinely used to obtain confessions or other information the research primarily focuses on how the afghan intelligence agency does business and that it says that the u.s. the business of the u.s. forces is just to hand over those detainees but for years america's own network of secret prisons in afghanistan has provided ample material for various reports rampant torture and all lawful practices have been reported at so-called black side interrogation centers by the way the u.s. government has admitted the existence of those secret centers but the admission confirmation came after many years of denials so now as the u.s. is in the process of handing over its presence including the infamous prison on dog or a mayor base to the afghan government though these reports come out about what happens to the detainees after they were handed handed over by american forces to their afghan colleagues this pullout operation is becoming increasingly challenging for the united states at times plain embarrassing because of the bad news coming from
