why you should watch only. syria says president assad can step down only as a result of dialogue between the government and the opposition she looks at how media spin got it all wrong. john from talking about torture and silence to military tribunals the complaints of attorneys will go on time never detainees who say the defense of prisoners is being jeopardized. and after months of protests over a failing economy report on house of payne its reception the state not just its people but its animals two guys many of the country's horses are condemned to death by their own.
1:01 am
this is coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program syria's deputy prime minister says foreign military intervention would be an infringement on the right of the syrian people to decide their own future the comments came after a meeting with russia's foreign minister in moscow to look at a political solution to the ongoing crisis but as a coven of reports western media came up with a rather different picture orders and shared discounts. i want to play to you something that the syrian deputy foreign minister had said during the talks that was grossly missed interpreted and exaggerated in fact in some of the news headlines. recommending resignation as a condition before conducting any dialogue means that you can't attend to the matter at hand and. dialogue can discuss any problem i know we are ready to talk about anything even question can be discussed but a resignation before any mechanisms in place for the syrian people to express their
1:02 am
opinion is a democratic approach. plus you can see here right there which i was talking about is the need to remove any kinds of precondition such as for example another requirement to present bashar al assad stepping down before some sort of a peaceful solution could be negotiated but that is not what was reflected in the news coverage of the talks on tuesday between the the syrian delegation and the russian government of course we do have to keep in mind that the press conference that had taken place was in arabic was they were translated to russian and then into english but what this really serves to highlight is that the lack of accurate information and balance information coming out about the eighteen month long conflict i also want to bring into the discussion the example of the level as the battle continues to rage in serious second city several news outlets have reported for example but when the free syrian army spokespeople had said that they had taken the trolls of nearly two thirds of the level of the syrian government of president
1:03 am
bashar al assad has claimed disputed those claims and what all of this really serves to highlight is again the lack of a balanced information coming out about this conflict there really needs to be a middle ground in this escalating conflict what we're seeing instead is a sort of black and white paper trail the trading of barbs sort of the lack of ability for the different sides to come together to really move this forward and a diplomatic way another thing that's really not helping. the potential of a peaceful negotiated solution to the crisis is some of the language that we've seen coming out of from the the united states as of late on monday because president barack obama had really caused quite an international stir when he said that the movement or use of chemical or biological weapons by the government of president bashar al assad could trigger could cause the u.s. to reconsider its opposition to military intervention and this of course goes to the against what sergei lavrov has been continuously calling for which is
1:04 am
unilateral action by any outside power that this is a conflict that needs to be really resolved from within unilateral action by any country outside of this conflict will only make matters worse the russian foreign minister had said that it looks like there may be a willingness to discuss a potential solution to the conflict in a diplomatic matter but many factions both within and outside of syria would not wish to see a peaceful resolution succeed and so it really remains to be seen whether there could be a way out of the sponge like that doesn't further make this ongoing war and even worse the past. sounds that were diplomacy to succeed western countries not must study is tricky to the norms of international no one the un ciancia but it was correspondent and columnist eric margolis believes that charges of that happening us. united states has no strategic interests in syria what this is all about is you ron and the fact that the u.s.
1:05 am
is in a very sensitive election year with this pressure on the obama administration to do something the republicans are screaming do something in so let's hope that the threats and verbal i'm still hoping that there will be a diplomatic solution in the foreign minister has been urging the wording on. the chances are receding as political pressure grows and the united states and behind us let's remember that these rare yoopers pushing very hard to do something to. overthrow of governments and there's even support from fronts syria may be breaking up into little cantons fighting one another along religious and ethnic and tribal. lines that are just as a living on was in the one nine hundred seventy s. this is a very frightening prospect and we have to work hard to make sure it does not happen. internal conflict is quickly growing into

1:07 am
obama's first executive order delivered on a promise cemented over the years as president i will close guantanamo reject the military commissions act and it here to the geneva conventions i've said repeatedly that america doesn't torture and i'm going to make sure that we don't torture nearly four years after america's change took office one hundred sixty eight detainees are still being held at guantanamo awaiting their day in court before a military commission but even then the obama administration will not allow them to testify about the alleged torture and harsh interrogation techniques some claim to have suffered according to the government there is no scope because it needs to advocates that if it did six count of his torture in the course of treatment the government's justification for that is that disclosing that information. court could be damaging to u.s.
1:08 am
national security interests at a pretrial hearing at guantanamo bay the defense attorneys will challenge u.s. secrecy rules and a litany of other restrictions that experts say undermine the right of detainees to receive a fair trial and defense counsel may want to communicate and the letter you know provides and current updates on news information to inform them of certain things that that may apply to their case and every one of those pieces of correspondence is then run through a vetting system where the government is reviewing all of that to determine whether or not it's proper material the confidences are being contaminated directly by the u.s. government over the years the u.s. military has gone as far as dosing detainees with high levels of psychotropic drugs . according to reports released by the pentagon good most prisoners were forced to take mind altering drugs often against their will before being interrogated
1:09 am
a story first broken by truth out's lead investigative reporter jason leopold what the inspector general said was is that detainees were interrogated while they were on drugs that is known to produce or will end up producing unreliable information so then you have the government going into the d.c. circuit ok and arguing that all of the detainees statements are true critics accuse obama of following in the footsteps of his predecessor george w. bush by continuing a system that revolves around censoring defendants in the name of national security this is not a legitimate process how do you prosecute someone cheney years after the crime when you have full control of their body and the evidence for that an entire period of time nearly eleven years following the september eleventh attacks the us military

commission is set to hear the first set of arguments in preparation for the trial of five suspects the us president meanwhile is campaigning for his second term apparently forgetting about the monumental promise he made when beginning his first marine aboard i.r.t. . we spoke to colonel morris davis the informant chief prosecutor at the notorious prison and her explained what caused him to leave his post. what really put me over on the other side was being compelled to use evidence obtained by torture i think folks could make a an argument whether it's morally justified to engage in torture to collect intelligence to maybe prevent an attack eminent but then to take that same information and hand it over to me and say ok now use this as evidence in an american criminal proceeding to obtain a conviction in principle potentially

regime of staring out the conflict by arming syrian soil international relations professor mark owen and that's that turkey is asking for trouble by supporting syrian opposition rights. one of the reasons why ankara had been so supporter of bashar assad was that he was very close the border. into turkey what we're now seeing course is the border between turkey and syria is open to incorporation into syria rebels and also. are supposed to be a woman as you all come a blind eye to the border america's foreign interests there was also a risk but very of course the horse will smile while. there's also another short. mind is the risk for religious extremists of our group of this fundamentalist groups who don't necessarily recognize any water between syria and turkey who don't necessarily want to create a kurdish state that actually. groups are coming unglued probably have no bird
