something. russia says it's ready to support a u.n. resolution on syria if it reflects the u.n. arab league envoy mission which calls for a cease fire and dialogue between both sides. behind over of abuse human rights groups discover the u.s. is still sending afghan detainees to prisons which records of torture. and paying for justice with british construction workers demand their livelihoods back after finding out the police were involved in lining them on an illegal blacklist.

she is coming to you live from the heart of moscow with me and welcome to the program the russian capital says it will support the u.n. 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 them if it contains an ultimatum let's get details on this now life monti says the ministry of foreign affairs there in central moscow russia has taken a firm line with the u.n. over syria so far possibly a change in stars a change of attitude perhaps. but i think many people are going to see this is the toughening of pressure on syria that he has to bear in mind that russia has been calling for a ceasefire in the country months now. hasn't really changed when it comes down to the fundamental certainly the reason. will this detail that's. u.n.

resolution the fact that they are not going but what they see is a one sided resolution now but doesn't change speed question today with a trial statement that will possibly be based on a later on in the date in this case or by france is that it's cool that that cools the case president assad and the opposition to implement fully under mediately case he announced six point peace plan now if the wording is that respects what russia has been calling for from the very beginning which is that there should be no need to make sense over solution backing one side then there is a possibility that that could be very to treat these other foreign ministers meeting with his lebanese counterpart today said that russia would be willing to back that statement not just as a statement but as a resolution teetered again only if there are no alternates and so certainly russia has lent his voice to support not just keep this in the country they do say to the growing calls for a humanitarian case in syria we saw the foreign minister meeting with the heads of

the international committee it's very close yesterday and said there are hopes that this third this tall statement kid indeed at the very soon to be its all to later on state it is against come down to the wording of that and whether the security council can get consensus so let's talk for a moment about a kofi annan of the u.n. special envoy to syria has his mission ok to launch in the water one country as you mentioned earlier kofi annan points to get a peace mission how do you see anyone for some reason when it comes to announce a mission. this certainly some more positive signs with this mission to go with a six point peace plan laid out is very similar to what you saw of the arab league in certain this in laying out the statements the violence the release of political prisoners by the removal of security forces from some of the greatest areas oh well it's to reinforce and cools down fortunately we saw that arab league mission a century distancing. under pressure from different sides.

even now that there are forces within it within syria the day she wants to see the peace love comes the situation up. there is no place to go western russia against be able to see some of the difference in the security council as well will be able to bridge. the stumbling blocks. and minds to speak in the everyone's going. with this statement that will be discussed later. but of course you could. continue in the country at the maybe this is. just recently in fighting breaking out right in the heart of the calculus i mean everyone very very thankful continue. to solve the crisis in the country all right. in

central moscow many thanks. syrian opposition leaders are admitting some foreign governments are sending weapons to the rebels. believes those outside forces have no thoughts about humanitarian aid. or for regime change. well unfortunately the cycle of violence shows absolutely no signs of abating and absolutely those terrible 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 has been making for some time that there is clearly some international coordination and arming of these. cold rain teg rebels who are who are supposedly doing this it would seem to point to that there's been more reform in syria in the past year and there has been in the past fifty and if that's not enough to to at least to bring the sides to the table to start some sort of negotiation and one would have to imagine that nothing will so regime change

seems to be absolutely you know double course that you know the west and others have set their eyes on at this point 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 against goes to prove the point that there really diplomacy isn't the end game here the end game is to get rid of assad and unfortunately we see that from the playing out right now so one has to hope that recent initiatives like the their red cross called for the cease fire on a daily basis and things like that could have some sort of effect but at this point it really seems the cycle of violence is just escalating and what you say now the u.s. has continued to send the afghan detainees to facilities where prisoners had previously been tortured that's by banning such transfers last july but the report comes from the afghan and human rights commission assisted by international open society

groups for evidence of torture that has already been uncovered that's what he's got a check on reports. every year era 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 a new york based open society foundations were feels 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 detail to 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 he 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 as provided ample material through various reports rampant torture and all lawful practices have been reported at so-called black site interrogation centers by the way the u.s. government has admitted the existence of those secret centers but the admission the 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 base to the afghan government though these reports come out about what happens to the detainees after their hand in hand you go 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 of ghana's then on a regular basis the american soldier who apparently killed sixteen innocent civilians the gurning of the holy muslim books u.s.

marine you're an aging on dead afghans and more broadly the surge of violence there rampant opium production which terrorists around the globe feed off yes journalists to focus on problems in again is that it seems there are more problems than time to report. parties gone each account reporting there let's turn our attention now it's where iran i where the supreme leader says the country can withstand the economic pressure from abroad including expulsion from swift the global bank payments network but it's iran said it could retaliate by blocking a vital oil rig in the persian gulf and in israeli intelligence have reportedly agreed that iran is not developing nuclear weapons but political analyst and historian peter rushton says that pressure is unlikely to ease in any way what we're seeing at the moment has been is the culmination of a long term effort by iran's owners to force the iranian government into war corner

to force them into a position where they're left with an invidious truce between or not one howling to steer a course if we can on the one hand seeming to be bullied and getting in and appearing weak and on the other hand alone themselves to be provoked and allowing themselves to be forced into a confrontational position diplomatic and intelligence professionals are having their reports having for would abused for political and ideological reasons there's a political ideological agenda in washington and tel aviv to an extent here in london as well to willfully misinterpret intelligence to slant or to spin to use the term that's become used recently to spin intelligence in a direction that forces people on the path to war we saw it in iraq where they were they were there were absolutely disastrous consequences from intelligence the intelligence process being abused and i think we're seeing it now here in iran.

possible fraud but the relatively few violations were overshadowed by the entertainment provided some have already dubbed the election the most expensive live show in russia's history the system cost a billion dollars. most advanced software to the most remote regions of russia if not for the elections it could take another five to ten years now we can do video conferences scholars can be lectured by the first professors from russia and it ruled. that's just one of many ideas about how to use the two hundred fifty thousand cameras the interior ministry's investigating a police station and causing a true man died from serious injuries sustained in custody a string of such incidents gives way to the argument that there can never be too much money training and what russians may still be undecided who they want to keep an eye on they definitely want to control not entertain the all seeing eye of the

wellcome will make things harder to hide under the carpet and russia's police stations are somewhere critics have argued for a while need to come under greater scrutiny but equally after several people digress and probably receive the well in preliminary. i suggest we move cameras from polling to police stations we should be installed in preliminary custody cells directed at policeman on duty and in the rooms were suspects are questioned because he would not violate the rights of those detained because their faces. the hard to see. the detainees themselves from police abuse really. meanwhile parents want to protect their children from another type of abuse corruption in schemes would be annual nationwide state exams due to take place in june they are logging for classrooms to be equipped with c.c.t.v. . it's crucial for us all children during all types of exams on equal terms that we

their prices have gone up seven per cent of us that are currently in libya going to increase output of kinds of sentiments pushing up and if we look at the current says we see the trade as a favorite present that is suffering that comes off the comments from the christine legarde the i.m.f. chief saying that the global economy is still fragile if you look at the ruble mixed reactions is that we've got a hard against the u.s. dollar against the year right now let me tell you we've seen a lot of bright colors at this hour but i can tell you that the u.s. index futures are indeed dow's it be interesting how that i put up in about three hours time to stay with us for.
