a probe into cia secret prisons of the world that's a little coverage. it's nine pm here in moscow you're watching our live with me tom let's say. human rights groups and independent activists are raising the alarm over the rising number of atrocities committed by the mali an army as well as a french military assisting it government forces like use of multiple killings without trial jus process while reports i'm measuring a french a strikes that have resulted in civilian deaths parasite launched its combat mission in mali almost three weeks ago under the banner of rooting out islam make insurgency in the north west african state london based activists from stop the war coalition and lindsey german joins us live mr man according to reports

earlier this week twelve civilians have been killed in a french raid on mali and village could this kind of incident only serve to draw anger against foreign forces well i think it definitely world any of the wars that the western powers have been involved in very involved that strikes this kills innocent people we know. this is a matter of record in libya in afghanistan and iraq and it will be exactly the same i think the problem in many people will be question the war and the resupply mission now aided by the british intervention is doing more and more i recall in the colonial powers really. intervening in this country. could the french have been able to prevent civilian casualties i mean did they do enough to prevent them. myself you very much because i think what happens is when you're bombing from thirty thousand feet or whatever the heart is whatever you say about

your technology you're not going to be in a position to be able to. is that you're killing in this situation a situation where you have warfare going on between different groups of people well it's not dealing with necessarily regular armies who will be civilians who are caught up in this and were killed and therefore which countries are but you know in france they should really think very very seriously before they attempt any of these things seems to me as easy for an air force like the french or the british to kill people and to bomb countries it's much much harder to change the society in the way that it needs to be change and this is what we're this is what we're saying you look at these countries these are countries which are very very rich in resources in natural resources in niger you have a radium you have oil and gas and so on but the local people don't benefit from any of. the french have said that the mission was

a success is it all overly optimistic to expect that one of the poorest states in the world could deal effectively effectively with the fallout of the war there i mean will they be able to rebuild mali after this. well i think it's very very foolish for anybody to say that this war the french intervention is a success the as i understand it what has happened is that they have been able to form they have been able to therefore take a number of towns which were controlled by the rebels in mali but most people's assessment is this is not the end of the fighting or indeed a war that the rebels will disappear into the desert for a time will recruit will appear in other towns in the situation will continue and i think with all of these forces around we have an escalation in britain only yesterday david cameron announced that he's going to send troops as well those as well as equipment to help the french when they engage in these they

pretend that they're right a very limited cost operation very few people get killed that they're worth doing because of human rights and democracy and you want every single time we've had eleven years of experience of this now you find that every single time the initial euphoria they've been successful has turned into a greater and greater war into mission creep and this is really mission creep on speed it is moving fantastically quickly from the initial aims to now sending in more troops and we'll see where we are in the few months but none of it to me looks like a successful or a particularly useful. model no one would argue that the rise of extremism is something that should be stopped by any legitimate means but how easy is it to identify extremists and terrorists in a country like mali is full of as many groups seeking independence they also aren't

and they're ready to fight. well those the different ethnic groups of the tour and who want who want national independence and sound very themselves what's happening in mali is itself a product of the intervention in libya where it's europe were eventually driven south again into mali after the fall of gadhafi but if i think if you look more generally we were told in two thousand and one the war in afghanistan that will get rid of terrorism in afghanistan it moved the problems for the british and americans to pakistan then we were told suddenly al qaida has spread to the middle east now we're told we've got al qaida in the macweb now whatever the truth is about what exactly all these groups represent what you're finding is after eleven years of the war on terror more grievances against western powers more terrorist groups more five food there is and until there is a political solution to the grievances and to the problems that rover than the

whole of interventions that are becoming more and more of a pattern in german i'm going to have to you are not saying like we are today i'm very sorry but i've just run out of time with you thank you very much i will tell you i'm here in london based activists from stop the war coalition lindsey german. egypt's opposition send a clear message to the president they want to see mohamed morsi for urgent talks after almost a week of deadly unrest as we lost going to the engine starts publishing deals this is a shortened by jail cell phone that's in a few minutes. and a load of work ahead for america's grand new secretary of state john kerry even while we're asking whether a special person on top of you is to promise you will mean change for washington's of points from. identity theft to cyber hostages online terrorism that's not a plot of

least expect it. a brutal clash at greece's labor minister's office today as hundreds of protesters battled with police after storming the building the demonstrators and raise of an eminent round of fresh pay cuts and pensions celestials all part of athens austerity drive but the police response according to lawyer judge metropolis was part of a new approach. the government has decided to follow up on receipt of zero tolerance as it says ideas that existence of your state in measures show we have seen the government to take in medicine measures that they are unconstitutional i guess the very center strikes and now we have seen door there. very violently against a generally peaceful and calm demonstration where only seem the last three or four weeks i complain of propaganda try to convince us that now the worst is becoming

that there is i don't believe that this is that is exactly because we are following this same set of policies over certain measures that the four three hears has condemned greece. of slow death that this recession of the economy contraction of the economy unfair social measures are both very serious and of the population and also affect the social right i think that as far as what we're following this said . there's a chorus and a case of sexual abuse against russian child surfaces so it is in moscow justice while public feeling of the newly implemented ban on american adoptions still runs high. hopes of a timely closure of guantanamo bay have dimmed further with the men tasked with researching inmates and shutting down the u.s. detention center in cuba now transferred away the white house has not so far signed

a replacement daniel fried was picked for the job in two thousand and nine by president obama vowed to shut down the notorious prison friday work to to convince other nations to do a guantanamo inmates considered to be low risk but he soon saw his job grow more difficult with new laws complicating the repatriation of detainees all over the almost eight hundred inmates that have passed through their guantanamo only nine have had charges brought against them including the five nine eleven suspects currently facing pretrial hearings. meanwhile investigations into america's so-called black sites abroad are making little headway eight years long probe into covert cia jails in poland in particular as investigators frustrated with washington not volunteering much help and as r.g.c. reno reports even if the details were forthcoming justice might not be. guantanamo may hold all the headlines but all the interested it means people aren't moving

their focus elsewhere so-called black sites secret prisons were established by the cia during its well publicized war on terror unlike the cause however these secret facilities were never publicly discussed by the authorities the u.s. claimed they could hold prisoners outside the us because then they wouldn't be subject to the geneva conventions to international law and humanitarian law reports suggest such prisons were in existence from two thousand and two but you simply not long after the events of nine eleven the u.s. government denied the existence of these prisons until two thousand and six now the only country in europe which has acknowledged the presence of a secret facility on its territory is lithuania and if you were to look at it you will you will see something almost a deliberate site except for the imposing fences surrounding it likewise a suspected secret prison in poland is believed to be located here apparently in one of the most beautiful spots in the country according to various reports mostly

from journalists or human rights organizations so-called high value detainees were flown in by the cia for interrogation at these polish facilities. i managed to get records from the airport in germany where it's clear that they have learned an aircraft used by the cia very important evidence because until then everyone denied these landings and reported different destinations of these flights to europe controlled however just like their american counterparts the authorities in warsaw have been extremely frugal with the details and investigation into the secret prisons has been dragging on for almost five years now but what is some earth during its course remains unknown one man who has been charged with involvement is poland's former chief of intelligence and security is big news tonight called ski this first high profile official of any nation to be prosecuted over the issue polish investigators have only one response to all questions concerning their investigation all the information has been classified as it involves state secrets

which of course they're not allowed to divulge on top of that since the case directly involves u.s. officials one would imagine warsaw and washington working very closely together yet people who are privy to the investigation say this is definitely not the case the united states or thirty's have not helped the investigation anyway in fact i can say obstructing the investigation. in my absolutely. article three. mutually glistens treaty between poland and the united states. they've refused to produce any information requested by the prosecutor therefore the extent of the investigations progress just like any information about the torture of prisoners regarding who watch where when and how all of it remains a mystery and building this occasion is rumored to conclude next month by the looks

home instead of violent protests in egypt have been going on for almost a week and have resulted in over fifty deaths thousands have been calling for an end to morse's rule clashing with police and troops and defying the curfew order imposed three towns along the city's cannell blogger and journalist a while ask him does the morsi hopes to gain outside support to validate his crackdown on opposition at home. he's going to the europe trip to secure funds perhaps for for egypt but what will he do with these funds when he's very hesitant and they you know he cannot even run his country how it works he left at a time when the police were exercising extreme brutality with a lot of people killed in the port. somewheres and him imposing the emergency law which he. promised he would never would. so so it's actually has

been present and i think he's just trying to secure an international relationship so that he can oppress the people. back in his country israel has boycotted a u.n. reveal of its human rights practices becoming the first country to make such a move it claims the organization is biased against it and the feeling of isolation is growing in tel aviv not only when it comes to international policies but the country planning to build more defensive walls on territory considers its own as artie's alessio sheer scale reports. if you were allowed to invest your money into israel's construction companies those supplying materials for defensive walls you would have probably made. i have to profit government decision suggests they will never run out of business and. we intend to erect a fence along the golan heights we know that on the other side of our border with syria today the syrian army has moved away and in its place global jihad forces have moved in therefore we will defend this border against both infiltration and

terrorism. that would make a third defensive wall in less than twenty years along with the one in jerusalem and on the border with egypt barriers with lebanon and jordan are also being discussed all have the same just difficult security reasons israel built a concrete wall in the west bank more than a decade ago to protect itself from palestinian terrorism years on not only it is still dividing the land and the people but the opinions as well supporters of the defensive barrier pointed to a decreased number of attacks while its opponents say that its existence in the first place is creating more grounds for instability political rights and michael believes the west bank barrier may have been a temporary solution years ago but it's no longer proving effective just as the march graced friends with the sea knight peninsula that eventually failed to keep out african migrants if building another turns israel into

a fortress he says then it will be a medieval one. holds in the war so if someone is really. willing to. do it. decision of the government show the craziness or the crazy philosophy which is behind me to create a normality for our children grandchildren based on the fortress completely surrounded by fans we are going back to. with this philosophy of creating. the war the war building business may seem profitable to some but financial experts . constructing these barriers consumes a sizeable chunk of the defense budget as well as suffocating regional development which is part of the palestinian state but of the. it was excluded by the wall and now it is became. almost get to some of. the

part of the. various sources of his generals on the war for us and it is also very much. to their business environment the fence at the border with egypt can be excused for being an international border the golan heights on the other hand is only a cease fire line left from the israeli syrian warfare so not only it would not protect israel from any kind of mordant weapon attack but just like the wall in the west bank it could become another more humans to the indefinite occupation of territory conquered by force. r.t. reporting from israel. another case of abuse against russian children adopted by u.s. citizens has come to light investigators in moscow have launched a criminal case into allegations of sex crimes against a six year old boy in an american force the family. has more on the. the increasing

number of news of inhumane treatment of russian children by americans is alarming to say the least but what's worse is that the russians can hardly do anything about it from here from across the atlantic and all russian investigators could do is launch a criminal probe here locally common sense says it will not affect the alleged child rapist at all or to the russian investigators the family that sexually abused them had already been convicted by u.s. courts earlier for acts of abuse against. mind you the word sexual never came up and they only got probation at that time russian diplomats are unable to be any use to kids in such cases which earlier prompted russian to. live a law and that law prohibits americans from adopting russian kids altogether now

live was an adopted child from russia and that he was left by his american parents lost in a car and he eventually died from suffocation when the law was passed it prompted huge debates both here and in the united states whether the old friends would benefit from such restrictions while the local authorities in the united states seem indifferent to the fate of little kids adults a few from here in russia. more and how the story has been developing as well as expert opinion from both russia and the us at r.t. dot com. the u.s. senate has approved john kerry as the next secretary of state with hardly anyone opposing the nomination the sixty nine year old democrat will replace hillary clinton whose legacy includes the rise of anti-american sentiment to world wide as well as tough times with russia artie's gammage again takes

a close look into kerry's political posture to get more perspective on what to expect from him in the future. the evolution of john kerry's views has been quite remarkable so remarkable that it's hard to pin where exactly he standing on a number of issues he built his career on the reputation of a name to war advocate a vietnam veteran himself he was very vocal as a spokesman of the vietnam veterans against the war back in the seventies then in the eighty's he challenge to the reagan administration's policies on central america in one thousand nine hundred one he voted against the u.s. involvement in the first gulf war but later over the years john kerry has morphed into a pretty much mainstream politician with a record which casts a shadow on the end to war image that he's been trying to build for himself in two thousand and two he voted to authorize the iraq invasion and since then he has made a slew of conflicting statements which might have cost him the election in two thousand and four when he was running as the antiwar candidate so while criticizing

bush w. bush for the war in iraq in two thousand and four in august of that year when asked if he would still have gone to war knowing saddam hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction john kerry said yes i would have voted for the authority i believe it was the right authority for a president to have in september that year in direct contradiction to that statement john kerry said we should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know today. these are just some of his other conflicting statements for example on supplemental funding for the troops back in two thousand and three it was an eighty seven billion dollars bill in september that year he was for it in a cold war he voted against it it was at that time when he said i actually did vote for it before i voted against it a phrase which kind of stuck with john kerry on patriot act again he was for it before he was against it on israel's unilateral construction of a security fence he called it a barrier to peace at one time but less than

a year later he reversed himself calling the fence a legitimate act of self defense. now as far as his present views which he shared during his confirmation hearing last week on the range he said although the u.s. favors diplomacy but washington will act to prevent iran from getting the nuclear weapon whether it's a preventive action could mean war he did not clarify that he was cautious speaking about syria and that caution is reflective of the white house becoming seemingly more aware of the challenges there and the threats behind a military intervention but it's worth noting that he may ask if there were any conditions under which you would support u.s. or nato led airstrikes on the syrian military john kerry said quote unquote sure but before that in march he also said bombing syria would not be the right thing to do is not necessarily a flip flop but you can see that his actions and views can go either way during the confirmation hearing we've heard john kerry channel

a new message that the obama administration is trying to convey and that is in president obama's own words we're not treating from the hips and his nomination of chuck hagel who is known to have been against a strike on iran for example could be part of that message so secretary of state john kerry now channels that we are not going to rush into action message but he's record shows that when the tide turns and that tide can turn very quickly and the drums of war start beating loud and clear again john kerry would probably jump on that type. more international news in iran thirteen minutes sent out by hand it's cross talk a little about. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something
