it starts on t. dot com. as serious as president assad can step down only as a result of dialogue between the government and the opposition r c looks at how media spin turned the story around. from talking about torture and silenced its military tribunals the complains of attorneys foregone time the detainees who say the defense of prisoners is being jeopardized. and after months of protests over a failing economy report on how spain's recession affects more than just its people as many of the country's horses are condemned to death by their. international news and comments live from moscow this is all she was me you thanks

for joining is 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 min and stayed moscow to look at a political solution to the ongoing crisis but as aussies alisa camplin of now reports western media came up with a rather different picture of what was actually discussed. 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 all over the net recommending resignation as a condition before conducting any dialogue means that you can't attend to the matter of how. dialogue can discuss any problem i don't we are ready to talk about anything even this question can be discussed but a resignation before any mechanisms in place for the syrian people to express their

opinion is a democratic approach. but as you can see here right there which i was talking about is the need to remove any kinds of preconditions such as for example the requirement to present bashar al assad stepping down before some sort of a peaceful solution could be negotiated that 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 the take place was in arabic was later 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 aleppo as the battle continues to rage in serious second city several news outlets have reported for example what the free syrian army spokespeople have said that they have taken the trolls of really true thirds of the level of the syrian government of president

bashar al assad has claimed disputed those claims and what all of this really serves to highlight is again the lack of balance 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 the sort of the lack the ability for the different sides to come together to really move this forward in a diplomatic way another thing that's really not helping. the potential of a peacefully negotiated solution to the crisis is some of the language that we've seen coming out of the 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 sergey lavrov has been continuously calling for which is no

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 of the many factions both within and outside of syria did not wish to see a peaceful resolution succeed and so it really remains to be seen whether there could be a way out of this conflict that doesn't further make this ongoing war and even worse the past. is not for diplomacy to succeed western countries must adhere strictly to the norms of international no on the u.n. charter but nor correspondent and columnist eric margolis believes they chose of that happening are slim. as an old story no work orders things i sleep in the r.v. stumbling towards a possible armed conflict here and if it states there's no strategic interests in

syria what this is all about and the fact that the us or sense of the connection here 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 foreign minister has been urging the wording on but 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 the government and there's even support from fronts syria may be breaking up into little cantons fighting one another along religious and ethnic tribal. lines there 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. and stay tuned for our interview program coming up next hour as we look at the outside forces fueling the syrian conflict and cristiano soon head of the sinner and friendship association gives his views on the west has in mind for damascus and the whole middle east in the long term but here's a preview. such a powerhouse in the region is sourced from. the node the big old iran first i have to think of syria and i'm quite convinced if they would succeed to destroy syria the next door of goods will be hezbollah in lebanon on the one of these these two allies or thirteen outs. they will concentrate one hundred percent on the. internal conflict is quickly growing into a regional one and later this hour we take

a look at how turkey might be feeling the effects of the crisis on its southern border many analysts now believe that anchor is the links to the syrian rebels are backfiring and it will bring you the story in just a few minutes. but the diplomatic spat over julian assange continues with i could all saying it could take the issue to the you once international court all the details are coming out for you. the attorneys for inmates had gone tandem obey say they have been banned from bringing out this subject of torture in court and they also claim that a number of other legal restrictions are stopping them from building a proper defense in cases that could result in the death penalty the notorious prison is still open despite promises by president obama to shut it down years ago he's a murderer portnoy in our report. as the saying goes everyone remembers their first walk talk mode will be closed no later than one year from now when u.s. president barack 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. to the advocates that defended 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. national security interests at

a pretrial hearing at guantanamo bay the defense attorneys will challenge u.s. secrecy girls 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 given the prisoners were forced to take mind altering drugs often against their will before being interrogated

a story first broken by truth out's lead investigative reporter jason leopold what the inspector general said was is that taney is 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 then 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 merino for nigh on artsy we're. going to earlier we spoke to kind of morris davis the former chief prosecutor the notorious prison and he explained it would cause 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 an argument whether it's morally justified to engage in torture to collect intelligence to maybe prevent an attack this 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 and potentially potentially a death sentence was just a step too far and so rather than go forward with tortured evidence i chose to
