while syria says president assad can step down only as a result of dialogue between the government and the opposition party looks at how the media spent on the story around. banned from talking about torture and silence to military tribunals the complaints of attorneys for guantanamo detainees who say the defense of prisoners is being jeopardized. and after months of protest over a failing economy we report on how spain's recession thanks more than just its people many of the country's forces are condemned to death by their own nerves. hello and welcome to our team where we've got the latest stories for you on screen and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week well starting in syria 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 for a political solution to the ongoing crisis however as artie's loosely call funnell 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 at hand the dialogue can discuss any problem i don't we are ready to talk about anything even question can be discussed but a resignation before any mechanisms in place for people to express their 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 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 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 they were translated to russian and then into english but what this really serves to highlight is 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 what the free syrian army spokespeople have said that they have taken controls of nearly two 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 lack the 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 was seen coming out of the the united states as the plate on monday because president barack obama had really caused a 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 a trigger would cause the u.s. to reconsider its opposition to military intervention 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 poncelet it 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 did not wish to seek a peaceful resolution succeeding so it really remains to be seen whether there could be a way out of this one flip that doesn't further make this ongoing war even worse in the past. meanwhile encarta is investigating the possibility of syrian involvement in monday's call bombing in turkey southeast it rocked an industrial city close to the syrian border claiming the lives of nine people including children turkish officials were quick to blame kurdish militants who deny any links to the attack claims that kurdish separatists are capitalizing on the chaos and war torn syria

and have accused the solids regime of stirring up the conflict by arming kurds on syrian soil associate professor of politics at bill cantu university jeremy salt says turkey has ignored many of the potential implications when deciding how to act in the conflict. didn't seem to do was indications of what it was doing it was to win or just to control. anyone who knows the region would realize that once the people who were confronting them. they were also they walk upon the picture of. the situation in syria exacerbated because you were also. in opposition most of the single user can help. you get a year ago. you could be here what you need. if you. don't think that is the most the possibility that the syrian government can

be reprocessed instead what of course we get very much of a lot of the orders for each brigade a lot. of those already have a lot of problems the sunni governors helping with daily attacks sunni muslim. muslims so the consequence of what is now going on and this is the more sponsored. predictable i could go anywhere statement if you can for interview program coming up next hour as we look at the outside forces fueling the syrian conflict chris johnson head of the syrian friendship association gives his view on what the west has in mind for damascus and the home middle east and the long term there's a preview. such a powerhouse in the region it's sourced from. to pick out iran first they have to pick out syria and i'm quite convinced if they would succeed to the surprise syria

the next door to bits will be hezbollah in lebanon and one of these these two allies or taken outs. they will concentrate one hundred percent on the. also coming your way and later this hour the probables on diplomatic spat over the web. said it or continues with ecuador saying it could take the issue to the un's international court all the details are coming up. but attorneys for inmates are kuantan mowbray they have been banned from bringing up the subject of torture and court they also claim that a number of other of legal restrictions are stopping them from building a proper defense in cases that could result in the death penalty those issues are said to be discussed at the pretrial hearings for five inmates accused of masterminding and launching the september eleventh attacks that were scheduled to

start today but were delayed until thursday due to a train crash in baltimore which disrupted the internet connection to guantanamo president obama pledged to shut down the notorious prison years ago but has never lived up to that promise artie's more important i reports. as the saying goes everyone remembers their first one most will be closed no later than one year from now and us 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 if you go 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 advocates it does it did six count as she's torture in the course of treatment the government's justification for that is that losing 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 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 or send a 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 get more prisoners were forced to take mind altering drugs often against their will before being interrogated a story first broken by truth outs 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 had 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 u.s. president meanwhile is campaigning for his second term apparently forgetting about the monumental promise he made when beginning his first for nine artsy. earlier we spoke to colonel morris davis the former chief prosecutor at the charas president he 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 an argument whether it's morally justified to engage in torture to collect intelligence to maybe prevent an attack in a minute but then you 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. was just a step too far and so rather than go forward with tortured evidence i chose to resign. now if you've missed some of our stories you can always find them online news whenever you want to that's at our dot com. a failed experiment as the japanese government allows fishing near the distressed fukushima nuclear plant they can bring some wiring. plus the debate dividing germany criminal charges are filed against a rabbi and varia for performing
