right. france intensifies its assault on the hideouts of islamic militant somali border with algeria that says locals in the liberated cities claim the campaign has come at a cost to civilians. most comprehensive allegations yet of illegal rendition and torture in secret cia prisons around the world emerge in a report released by a top american n.g.o.s. and the iranian president flies into egypt for the first time in more than three decades in a visit seen as an attempt to improve ties between the two regional heavyweights since his nemesis came to power there.

live from the new center here in moscow this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day french military forces have stepped up their offensive on rebel bases in northern mali with troops moving into the city of kid dull the last bastion of islamist insurgents around eighteen hundred soldiers from chad also joined the operation to senior islamic leaders have been captured fleeing airstrikes on the border with algeria he reports now from the country wirelessly that is their money dollars they know what i'm going to look at today in this town in mali everyone is celebrating the capture of two important islamist leaders one of them is mohammed the head of the. a group which retired for months particularly violating the rights of women he was captured along with the leader of the movement for unity and jihad in west africa say he was taken north of keep close to the border with algeria the

capture of these two leaders demonstrates what everyone knows this if you go into book to make sense of security in a dangerous wilderness we were are so. detained by the mali an army when trying to get to the city of duane's or any movement towards the north has been strictly forbidden since last weekend when six million soldiers were killed by explosives planted by rebels on the roads leading there was this risk affects the stability of the country distances in mali are so big that it is next to impossible to travel safely on the roads so now the region lacks food medicine and fuel specifically in this part of the region. there are about seven thousand refugees children suffer the most unless medication is brought into the centers treating malnutrition like the one we saw in mopti would face tragedy becoming. the likely. treating malnutrition is a necessity in today's critical situation negligence was the cause of malnutrition

before but now and then this crisis most children are suffering does unless it happens in every home where children don't get enough care and could die. the alternative syrians are being tried to deliver supplies to to book to be in the share and spread them to the north from there we also saw many people come to donate blood so desperately needed in hospitals a christian community in the central region of mali has been collecting supplies that as. the war has taken on a religious meaning and when that happens the first thing they to announce they're hunting us those who are directly linked with religion. get us out. despite the fact the war is moving away the situation remains critical in a country filled with refugees and deport the health and food crisis is putting eighty million people at risk of malnutrition is the persona but what it is what am i going to hear gonzalo lunch or mali for r t. meanwhile mounting reports from

cities that have been liberated suggest that freedom has come at a cost francesa trunks have reportedly resulted in a number of civilian casualties guitar he's a researcher from amnesty international he's just returned from the country says the campaign raises many concerns but we were able to to register was. to use tonight solutions including a traditional killing we collected testimonies from a large variety of people who told us how. some people are arrested in the town of severity and then brought in front of where they were created and then frozen into the well later we had also stories about people who had been arrested and some of them disappeared and regarding the care of these of the civilians who were killed in the town of qana what we are asking both the french

and the new nominees is not they should or should be a commission of inquiry just to to know the circumstances of the death of the five people who were killed including the children because these people need a potion there should be kind of warnings given to the civilian population so that they could they could leave the the war zones to to seek shelter elsewhere some of the groups are been leaving some of the towns in mali and they may be seeking refuge in other places i mean we had been rocking about the hostage taking about kind of some code trees big name taken into a stage and a concern also what we are concerned about is that there may be a prisoner tax agreement a civilian who may be accused of collaborating with the armed groups so we are

concerned about it. fresh allegations of emerge of secret cia prisons around the world and violations that have allegedly been taking place there a new york based ngo funded by one of america's richest men george soros has unveiled a report which claims to detail the operation of these so-called black sites we get live expert opinion shortly but first art is going to can has the details. this is a very comprehensive report prepared by the open society foundations not only do they detail torture techniques that were used at cia secret prisons overseas to so-called black sites but also give a list of countries that one way or another participated in cia secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations including by hosting cia prisons on their territories detaining interrogating torturing going to be using it in the jewels assisting in a tour in the capture and transport of detainees and so on so the list includes countries like afghanistan all australia canada denmark

djibouti georgia germany syria turkey italy the united arab emirates. united the united kingdom yemen and other countries while president bush acknowledged that the cia had secretly detained about one hundred prisoners and this report alleges that there were more the u.s. government had only identified sixteen high value detainees italy is the only country where court has criminally convicted officials for their involvement in extraordinary rendition operations canada is the only country to issue an apology to an extraordinary rendition victim. who was rendered to and tortured in syria only three countries in addition to canada and that have swayed in australia and the united kingdom have issued compensation to extraordinary rendition victims this report is rife with human rights abuses and it's clear that high ranking bush

administration officials bear responsibility for authorizing human rights violations and yet no one was prosecuted because the u.s. government has classified everything related to its torture practices any accusation would be dismissed on state secrets grounds. well for more let's not talk live to eric he's a u.s. attorney. are you surprised by this report all of this was a thing of the post part of the bush era. well i think that what's good is people are out there continuing to dig through what our historic records this happened needs to be scrutinized and we need to gather lessons learned so we don't repeat the mistakes i think that the united states has been an advocate against human rights violations and you know this is reflective of an inconsistency sort of a double standard that we have out there and i think it's something that needs to

be confronted i think that you know president obama made a determination early on in the campaign that he wasn't going to look back he was only going to look forward and i think that that has adversely affected people's ability to really drill down into these issues and resolve them in a way that makes sure that it will happen again. in the tourney you're a lawyer is it illegal what's been going on. well i mean it's there are two layers of law right there's the thing that you know we all know is bad and that's killing people you know that you don't have to have a lot and know that that's bad and then you have the laws that we be put on the books you know like speeding this is the type of law that everyone knows is wrong right i mean everyone knows that torturing another human being is not the right thing to do ok i under any circumstances so you know i know that there have been

assertions that you know there's a ticking time bomb scenario and that under you know those extreme circumstances there may be something warranted but what we see in practice is an abuse by a number of people that weren't even i mean they had torture that was legal but then they pushed it even further and and made it worse than what was even authorized so it really is a record of abuses no evil it's just as well see isn't any evidence suggests that what's been happening has actually made the world a safer place it was a necessary evil in some ways. you know that's going to be hard to discern because we don't know all of the facts that are behind closed doors i suspect that that's not the case and i'll tell you why is because every one of the people that we're we're talking about that may have been tortured you know happened after the fact right so it wasn't that intelligence was really you know discerned from those

interrogations it's really information that created an investigation that may have led to other information so was there information gathered from these interrogations maybe what's the reliability of the information how many more arrests were conducted as a result you know we don't have those facts and would be hard pressed i think for them to produce just briefly so many accusations and allegations against the cia but the fact that over fifty countries were complicit in this what what what does that tell you about that whole nature of the operation. well i mean it says a number of different things obviously you know that you know people can't just point a finger at the united states and say you know we're on an island doing this alone you know there was a unified effort a coordinated effort to make this happen so there are there i'm a number of different people obviously involved in this process who determined it

to be a legitimate and a process to undertake the problem is that nobody took a step back and said you know are we doing the right thing here you know that the consequences of giving up our moral authority on these issues are far perpetual and i think that all nations need to take a look at this because it's a really it's a step back away from the standards that we're trying to assert to the rest of the world eric great to talk to you thank you very much david joining us live here naughty eric montalvo. the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad's incur on his first visit to egypt to more than thirty years is attending a muslim summit and is discussing security issues for the country's leader mohamed morsy iran also wants car on board with such issues as syria and its own nuclear program journalist neil clark told me earlier that tehran needs all the friends it can get around the strongest ally in the arab world has now been serious serious

been a lot of iran or this is the reason why the pro israel lobby why the americans why are the saudis etc so keen to talk about a sad now there's no such moment the syrian government is about to fall but were it for iran would be even more isolated than it is today and the unit in a very dangerous position so they are what makes good sense for iran to be trying to build bridges with cairo are there financial motives behind this meeting where we've got to believe the economies and bearing in mind the situation there in iran with all those sanctions appearing to have a quite an impact on the iranian economy do you do they both need each other i think they do and i think promote its point of view i think as we see harty all the rest of egypt but people are very happy with how things have gone legacy and carry on a look at it and ship people are on iraq will be one way that she can say to these people look i'm not just a us puppet i'm going to be different here so i think from his point of him he could get popularity at home by taking a more conciliatory line toward iraq could be running what if you course they've

been pretty good on house i mean the pro israel lobby has been very successful in getting the u.s. and other countries to pass tougher and tougher sanctions on iran he really can use a really bad state so iran needs all the friends it can get there's no reason for iran to be isolated there's no proof it's developing nuclear weapons it's got a peaceful nuclear energy program which there's no evidence the contrary so therefore it's it's wrong but it should be totally isolated. coming up a little later in the program this hour the battle of negative press the u.k. considers affecting a potential wave of used in european immigrants with ads highlighting just why they'd be better off staying at home that story and all this after the break. wealthy british scientists are. spot on the title of the.

he continues her naughty u.s. vice president joe biden joined the british prime minister david cameron for national security meeting earlier today in downing street was attended by british military chiefs intelligence officials and political leaders the american v.p. arrived in the u.k. on monday following visits to berlin and paris for top level talks. reports. for the vice president he's known for sometimes putting his foot in his mouth it could of almost being another gaffe but some a very quick to point out when he said that he talked of being delighted to have been invited to that meeting and of having spent half his life in security meetings in the u.s. but people are quick to point out you don't actually have a spoke for years on the u.s. national security council he can be given that possibly he was referring to other

security commitments but during his visit to downing street this is what part of what he took part in he was invited to this national security council meeting it was chaired by prime minister david cameron and it's thought that what was on the agenda and talks about there were issues such as syria afghanistan iran and north africa now it's not unheard of for foreign nationals to attend u.k. national security council meetings although it certainly is not common practice now perhaps that's a sign of as jay biden made mention to the special relationship that britain and the u.s. enjoy he spoke of the u.s. and britain as having the most open relationship that they have with any country in the world well that's all well and good but is a satisfactory relationship everyone wants to talk more about that i'm joined by a member of the u.k. independence party stephen wolf thank you very much joining us to stephen open

relationships let's go into that is it really beneficial day for everyone i'm not sure it actually is i mean it should be we are and we are two countries that actually share common values in terms of our legal systems our language the way that we look at business and it should be but over the period of the years that we have this special relationship to winston churchill the first court in the fridge we've seen lots of arguments between ourselves and those of you know states clearly there was a huge to. from the way that the british public did not want to get involved in afghanistan we also had a disagreement in the way that we did not want to get in vietnam and only recently we've had president obama suggesting that the british people should know exercise their democratic rights and have a referendum of whether they should be in or out of the european union so clearly the special relationship is often tested but there's lots of people here don't even

believe that relationship is special. the gulf kingdoms of bahrain and kuwait seeing fresh public outcry against the country's unelected rulers who've been stepping up their crackdowns on dissent for the last two years calls for more rights and democracy are increasingly met with the arrests and brutal force as the conservative refuse to concede while the west is accused of turning a blind boy to violations by its key arab allies this report. says. life in the gulf used to look like this. but the black gold hidden beneath the sands transformed the arabian states from an hospitable desert came storing structures of glass and steel physical testaments to their wealth and power in a wider region known for its tinderbox tensions the gulf monarchies have stood out for their relative stability and for an oil dependent west eager for a military stronghold to counter on the gulf became

a strategic away says petro dollars have helped to insulate the gulf against economic hardships plaguing other states but not against popular uprisings now the gulf monarchies as a whole have been struggling to stave off the effects of the arab spring with varying degrees of success. seen as the most tolerant of the gulf countries but the worry is that the trend could be reversed activists say that it already has been political gatherings of more than twenty people are banned as are political parties and when the last op. position dominated parliament challenge the ruling authorities it was dismissed voting rules were changed to ensure critics say a more compliant parliament speaking out against the system has landed many activists in jail as for those who took to the streets to protest we were beaten up by. the special forces. the sound bombs and but on and after the march whoever is on the street isn't just being detained and thrown into

jail it's a struggle activists in bahrain are all too familiar with. three days after egypt's former president was ousted from power protests began in both reign like the kuwaitis they were demanding an end to the monarchy but more representation at a violent crackdown saw a shift in some of those demands but there's still you got to stop it is a daily in different areas against the regime against that because i didn't state that the situation. one thousand five hundred residents we have. every day we have a lot of. security forces some rounding gate is what i think the people like that the houses as in other gulf states the monarchy blames the unrest on a radical minority they are hardliners they want to see regime change they want to implement their own style of government and impose on the rest of the population of

bahrain a system of government that is totally unacceptable these demands called for a. minster style democracy captain head of style democracy in golf but critics disagree saying the protesters simply want their governments to listen i want to comes to violent crackdowns he says westminster and capitol hill simply turn a blind eye we are victims because we live in a country which have the u.s. and the united states and they don't. the people they don't care about the humanity they don't care about. though you and i. whether in bahrain saudi arabia qatar oman or kuwait scenes like this one are becoming increasingly more common but nasa shows a power outage like this one show that the dots well wolf alone isn't enough to insulate the countries from people taking to the streets and demanding a greater say in their political system and unless the monarchies show themselves

willing to listen their stability may prove to be a mirage lucy catherine of r.t.e. kuwait. u.k. is looking at ways to curb the wave of eastern european immigrants expected at its doors when remain and bog area a given unrestricted access to the e.u. and twenty fourteen the government's not considering a negative advertising campaign about the country to make it less appealing to potential movers. reports we have so many things going for our country the english language testing times brilliant history very creative people some of the best universities in the world a great place to do business we need to stand up and shout about how great britain is and get people to come and invest and visit but that's not the message for everyone the u.k. government is reportedly brainstorming ways to dissuade eastern european immigrants from coming to britain come january twenty fourth team twenty nine million romanians and bulgarians will be able to live and work anywhere in europe including

the u.k. one idea being considered a negative advertising campaign about broken britain while the government considers that some creative brits have been all too happy to expose their nation's flaws for all to see as you can imagine not all the romanians living in the u.k. are cleaning the toilets some of them are highly qualified even to understudy is there so they find this very aggressive and under society campaigning as one minister. percinet a negative ad campaign would help to correct the impression that these streets are paved with gold but even considering how to push off would be migrants the british government has managed to offend not one but two whole countries and now one remaining newspaper has decided that rather than getting mad it's going to get even instead. the remaining in space campaign says that since it's so tough in the u.k. brits should come to remain

a danger by the british people to come to romania are agreeing they're here half of our women look like kate and the other half like her sister so this is a funny campaign what if you can see behind it there's actually a serious message which is that romania have still valuable resources intelligence and humor and that britain should take advantage of this next wave of immigrants instead of marking them but the debate over immigration in the u.k. is growing more hostile some ministers have suggested limiting remaining in symbolic ariens access to health services and housing when they arrive i think it will look good or masses of country to do something like about but i can see where where the snow is coming from of having a lot of people coming over here and looking for work and benefits and housing but i just sit with me really to do something right now immigration is always something you want to be careful when a talking about offing is

a bit silly to be honest because we're living in the you know europe which is open for every every country. which is you know in the us with the financial crisis getting worse britain isn't as attractive as it was to migrants a decade ago. that everybody in the world wants to come doing because england is obviously the most gracious country. in which people but they seem to forget him . to remain friends and remain is a beautiful country loving warm exciting country to live in today when they produce these statistics about thirty million remain. everybody's going to leave and then the last one to light isn't going to be a single person left and then it really is nonsensical whether or not the anti britain campaign will ever make it to a billboard near bucharest is now beside the point the british government has
