prisoners in the u.s. military detention complex details coming up in just a moment. international news and comment live from the new center here in moscow this is. libya's government forces claim they have taken control of the opposition stronghold bunnie one eat but say pockets of resistance still remain that's after a week's long deadly assault with reports of dozens of residents in the besieged city being killed by government shelling. has the details. we continue to receive these conflicting reports from our sources on the ground we're hearing about the army is actually withdrawing from the city or though we are hearing of wide scale killings from the government sources they say that the system has fallen we continue to receive verified video footage as well as reports of wide

scale killings of indiscriminate shelling and also the use of poisonous gas some of the photos and video we've been receiving show dismembered bodies children who've been killed and some of that footage is coming from bani walid television that has been broadcasting these visuals almost nonstop there is still a question mark over whether or not chemical weaponry has been used doctors at the scene do report that many of the patients they were treating are suffering from toxic gas inhalation and certainly here in the same kind of thing from eyewitnesses but again we are receiving unconfirmed reports that many of the shells are being fired with gas inside them as of yet we cannot independently verify those so far it has been going on now for the better part of three weeks and in that time all communication in and out of the city has been hampered it took us several days to make contact with people inside the besieged city they told us that these army forces were manning all the entrances and exits to and from bani walid this despite

the fact that thousands of people have fled to neighboring sites and refugee camps we have managed to make contact with a man in the us he's asked us to hide his identity because he was afraid for his family who are still inside. he tells us that the army is pushing back you also say it's quite alarmingly that he hasn't heard from his family for several days and he's incredibly fearful as to their fate the militias after. the fighting. there in a way from the from the from the city there. is good people control over. the militias. there was taken. really old man in his good money he. doesn't have an ego about it. just a council member people. really big on the first. i think about

seventy buddy from the militias. to be. six hundred from the militias on the wilds of. the street of the middle of the city i'm barely touched me ever since the violence started some three weeks ago residents of bani walid has been appealing to the international community for assistance to moscow took up the score by drafting a statement that a put forward to the united nations security council earlier this week but that was blocked by the united states prompting a response from moscow saying that a found as odd and strange in a context understand why such a statement had not been approved it's also course maybe an international community to accuse both washington and others of double standards you need to remember it wasn't so long ago that russia and china were blamed for voting against resolutions in libya and now the question is being asked why when moscow puts forward for

calling for assistance in body while it is this being stopped by washington. or he's managed to make contact with an eyewitness in the city she says militias are carrying out mass killings of civilians continue to call on the international community to help. these are not governmental forces there militias an armed gangsters surrounding anyone without any legitimacy the media is prohibited from reporting on what's happening in the city the situation is horrible crimes are committed communications were deliberately cut in order for these gangsters to prevent any person from communicating what's really happening there bulldozing houses they're setting houses on fire stealing everything they find moreover they committed massacres killing as many people as they counted people here in bani walid want to return to their homes they say that their cities totally destroyed nevertheless they want to go back and live in the wreckage they refused to be driven out of the city secondly they request all humanitarian organizations including the u.n.

to come to bani walid and see the destruction for themselves and see the devastation and need immediate aid we need humanitarian assistance urgently. the syrian army has agreed to hold military operations from friday morning until monday the four day truce is part of a proposed between government forces and the rebels for the muslim holiday of the however the always reserving the right to respond after some militant groups stated they'd continue fighting in this part of the government announcement syrian rebels are claiming they've made crucial advances in aleppo controlling majority of the city. let's get reaction now from political analysts. he joins me live now from beirut president assad's forces have agreed to the truce jury in this was the first of all but will it actually be all of but all parties. i was actually having them. doing to bury a monitor mission to ceasefire also going to work and i think it is very difficult

not to end game at it for many reasons i think both sides still have the desire to resort to the language of ours because they want to make a decisive change on the ground to a negotiated. future compromise or else the program has neither the army know position or. will supremacy on the other side or thought you were a decisive victory at least on the ground that is why the hostilities and the operations would continue the second one is the absence of. effective mechanism to possible the two most if any if so why was the filters only for four days only for four days the other point is that this so-called free syrian army is not the united body we all know that it is in fact mental skills units as many of them have no sense of going to receive orders some of being on the. other side of the fence and i just saw the on going on turkey and also we have qaida. objectives in the.

shower they all had to declare every few of us with a cease fire and say down not interested and it was you know it was a stark reality that this ceasefire will fail what's the point of announcing it when you make it pretty clear is going to fail and probably everybody there in syria knows that too. for example well currently being i could hear indicated. there are three or any troops invaded. invaded and occupied by the army. and the statement of the syrian army today they say that you could be a v.c. or anybody else or pearson. to discuss our view that means that the army of the syrian army not also about a bind. because. they're not also about.

let's talk about aleppo then it's syria's second major city reports that it has actually fallen to the rebels. just how big a deciding moment could this be for the civil conflict now in syria after all we see the similar situation and aleppo before only. yes i think it's safe to say that the idaho file has been a fallout on the and the free syrian army because i'm from. you know i'm a big joke about the bane. comprises of only want two percent of the books they had the free syrian army. which is the north and south i think well on the border has been inside the city this is not seen or this is a quote sure and you have because something companies who are beginning their support and army. are heroes standing mercenaries to see that this is no more war because to me work is only through syria as you see. it bigger it bigger could be

to conflict with regional powers struggling between even themselves i just want one for so one thing here that even the so-called friends of syria who who consider themselves our senate eyes are busy in peace but there is and how did the second between them. and i suspect who want to get the biggest part of the order to bring us out but this particular not coming to the surface doing to all the compass it has only been doing the second transitional period that the interior jean got this from of the court so this is very weak that this is bigger than the civil war it is a regional if you general proxy were going on i mean i mean if a little falls which is the biggest industrial city they will hit the wrong house syria and they will need. syria will you raise many issues thank you very much indeed for your thoughts political analyst kamal come also and joining me live in beirut. wiki leaks could be giving the us more red faces the

embassy in london doesn't seem to have stopped julian ourselves from working he's been there for more than four months now in fact quite the opposite in fact whenever i speak to him or to any of his supporters i say what's he doing in there they all say always working all the time and this is the result of his work starting today thursday and over the next month likely it's going to release over one hundred classified all restricted files all the rules and procedures that have governed the treatment of detainees in u.s. custody over the last ten years these include operating manuals and of course interrogation procedures for camps in iraq and cuba abu ghraib and of course kuantan i'm obey among the first documents to be released is the foundation documents program tons of it which was written in two thousand and two and put into force then and we can say that this document is the one that went on to shape the treatment of prisoners in u.s. military camps through the years only to be great but of the military detention

facilities and the documents talk of all aspects of camp life access to legal visits medical treatment access to that as well what possessions the prisoners are allowed to have and also of course they all talk about how prisoners. are interrogated violence is prohibited in the documents that have been released in writing bartz the they encourage this kind of exploitation of the fears of prisoners love of their homeland love of comrades love of family and and of course intimidation also says that it's all through a meeting with britain to discuss his failing health the ecuadorian embassy say that he is losing weight and that he's also suffering problems with his vision he can't go outside so he gets no fresh air and limited daylight particularly now that the winter is coming or you can see it's quite dark outside so those things you know will be taking

a toll on his health the ecuador. embassy's had previously asked listen assurances that if he is to be hospitalized for example he wouldn't be arrested but the deputy foreign minister of backtalk told r.t. that the u.k. is unwilling to discuss not only safe passage to ecuador which would essentially honor the terms of the asylum that ecuador has offered him but also even the principle of what they do in a situation in which it was however the british foreign office says that it hasn't had any notification that julia is suffering and is sick and that if it does they will consider that so we have to see how this situation progresses sudan's threaten return a nation over an alleged deadly israeli air strike on a cartoon to the refused to comment on reports that for its frontage it's carried out an air raid on a plan to providing rockets to go answer foreign policy expert a little earlier he says potentially. major crime has been committed. you know the sudanese allegations are true this is
