11:01 pm
and here's what russia and around the world this is our see with me you know hello and welcome to the program. as many as fifty four countries took part in the cia's secret detention and prisoner program the claim was made in a report from a new york based ngo which claims foreign governments aid as they do us in making sure interrogations were out of reach of the law is going to trickle down has more fires. 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 produce appétit in cia secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations including by hosting cia prisons on their territories detaining interrogating torturing and abusing individuals assisting in a tour in the capture and transport of detainees and so on so the list includes
11:02 pm
countries like afghanistan all australia denmark djibouti huge of georgia turkey syria the united arab emirates the united kingdom yemen italy and even iran and just in case you're wondering what iran is doing on the list here's what the report says a yemeni national hussein solemn mohammad on the fed he was captured by iranian authorities in tehran sometime after nine eleven two thousand and one and once was handed over to afghan authorities as part of a prisoner exchange and was held in cia detention in afghanistan so a list of fifty four countries there. while president bush acknowledged that the cia had secretly detained about one hundred prisoners and this report alleges there were more the u.s. government has only identified sixteen quote unquote high value detainees italy is the only country where a court has criminally has convicted officials for their involvement in extraordinary rendition operations ten of these the only country to issue an
11:03 pm
apology to to an extraordinary rendition victim maher are more here excuse me r r who was rendered to and tortured in syria and only three countries in addition to canada and it is sweden australia and the united kingdom have issued compensation to extraordinary rendition victims this report is ripe 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. so plaintive countries implicated in allegedly providing so-called prison black sites while assisting america in the kidnapping and torture of terror suspects and private investigator douglas valentine believes america is purposely exaggerating the threat of terrorism to impose its military power while white the war on terror and sell
11:04 pm
through this is an overstatement vast overstatement of the dangers that exist in the it's been proven. that we simply created more enemies in iraq we've created more enemies the war on terror is a war at war killing torturing and detaining people is not a way to bring over its resolve problems the way to resolve problems is through people trying to understand each other through reach accommodations to do things diplomatically instead of this situation that exists right now is that the united states knows the military overhand that it's not willing to give the well by having built three overhead and kind of force its will all round the world and the war on terror is simply a simple pretext for doing what it illustrates is that the government has. since nine eleven more capable propagandizing the american people by exaggerating the threats that exist in order to perpetuate which probably is
11:05 pm
a state of emergency that really doesn't exist in which the government is able to portray the united states the greatest military power that ever existed on the planet earth and some of the person that's been bully. the truth is exactly the opposite. with the u.s. security policy coming in for some harsh criticism the country's vice president is getting an inside look at what other nations are lightning bug bite and gets a prime time he'll british security by sitting amongst the country's top intelligence officials in downing street. the visit iranian leader to egypt the first in more than three decades is seen as a sign that the middle east heavyweights moving closer president ahmadinejad who is under pressure from western states over his nation's nuclear program is attending a muslim summit to discuss security issues with egypt's mohamed morsi egypt and iran severed relations after the nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution one
11:06 pm
cairo offered exile to iran's deposed shah so relations further deteriorated after egypt's peace treaty with israel morse's rise to power out of egypt's revolution banned by the u.s. is seen as major hurdle to better ties with tehran but some analysts believe keeping the door open to the islamic republic is showing cairo is pursuing a more independent foreign policy and that of morse's predecessor and earlier journalist clark told my colleague bill dodd that iran needs all the friends it can get. around the strongest ally in the arab world has now been serious serious been a brutal out of iran all this is the reason why pro israel lobby why the americans while the saudis etc so keen to talk about now there's no shock moment the syrian government is about what we're all going around would be even more isolated going to used to going to be very dangerous position so that's what makes sense for iran to try and build bridges with. all of their financial motives behind this meeting where we've got to believe the economy is going bearing in mind the situation there
11:07 pm
in the room with all those sanctions appearing to have a quantum impact on the iranian economy do you do they both need each other i think they do and i think probably more the point of view i think as we've seen r.t. we will be arrested but we're very happy with how things are gone legacy occurring on the google. offices and shipping are on iran would be one way that she can say to his people look i'm not just a us puppet i am going to be different here so i think from his point and he could get popularity at home by taking a more conciliatory line towards iran and the iranian point of view course they've been putting the dollhouse 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 the real economy is 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 about a nuclear weapons it's got a peaceful nuclear energy program which is no evidence to the contrary so therefore it's it's wrong but it should be totally isolated. this is all see and still plenty
11:08 pm
to come for you here including no retreat those displaced by the syrian conflict to risk their lives to stay in the war torn country rather than take shelter in jordanian brick future becomes. evil but sandy would have destroyed i didn't love the fame they wouldn't. seem to miss the nikkei the passion the food. in the most horrible circumstances. the she'd have to go through what she went through. health care that doesn't care patients at the u.k. hospital died needlessly because of stuff negligence says a public inquiry report on that in a few minutes. download for sure applications if you so choose your language stream quality and enjoy your

favorite. if you're away from your television well it just doesn't matter how would your mobile device if you could watch your t any time anywhere. in the u.s. vice president has gained exclusive access to london security plans by sitting in on a downing street mazing fresh from visits to berlin and paris joe biden met prime minister david cameron and the gold the inside view from britain's military and intelligence chiefs. has met on the small rather on the unprecedented axis. for the vice president he's known for sometimes putting his foot in his mouth 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
11:10 pm
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 give you 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 syria afghanistan iran and north africa now it's not unheard of for foreign nationals to attend u.k. national security council meetings oh they certainly is not common practice now perhaps that's a sign of as day 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 doing by
11:11 pm
a member of the u.k. independence party stephen wolf thank you very much joining us sixty seven april relationships that's going to 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 first coined the phrase we see lots of arguments between ourselves and those of you state clearly there was a huge to. the group 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 heard president obama suggesting that the british people should not exercise
11:12 pm
their democratic rights and have a referendum of whether they should be in or outside of the european union so clearly the special relationship is often tested but this was the people here don't even believe that relationship is special. in kuwait three former opposition m.p.'s have each been sentenced to three years in prison for criticizing the enemy's policies they were arrested last october after joining mass protests against new electoral laws that were adopted just weeks before the parliamentary vote the verdict comes just a few days after another man was jailed for five years for his anti regime tweets and analyst eric draitser sas kwaito north reacts to pressure unless it comes from washington. kuwait is a client state of the united states it is part of the u.s. imperial system along with saudi arabia and qatar and bahrain and a number of other countries so for that obvious reason because they they can't really step out of line from what the line is from washington from london and from
11:13 pm
elsewhere so if you were to have destabilization in kuwait and you were to have the western community the international community as it's called committing condemned the ruling family you will have an overthrow of that regime you will have a destabilization of the region which benefits democratic forces but which is very much detrimental to the united states and their agenda for the region the monarchies are looking around and they're seeing a democratization a wave of democratic upsurge in the region and they know that their regimes will not withstand it unless they're able to crack down on these forces and to maintain their strategic position within the imperial system so on the one hand they crack down on the opposition on the other hand they maintain very positive business relations with washington with london with terrorists and so forth. jordan is trying with massive influx of syrian refugees saying that number could exceed seven hundred thousand this year the jordanian government says it won't be able to accept
11:14 pm
that many more expected if president assad falls although some serious decided to take that chance against bullets and strikes at home rather than to suffer they scored counts on his this account for africa olds. when they come here to escape the hell of war as many as fifty thousand in the last month alone that all too often in jordan psaltery camp hope gives way to despair no i don't have nothing when relief to go home why is this happening why isn't anyone here to help us too many people and not enough help the sprawling tent city is the largest camp for syrians fleeing their war ravaged nation but it's ballooned well beyond capacity there are shortages of food blankets medical supplies just about everything. there are so many of us how can they provide for everyone we are called there is no a true city i have two children and there are no diapers for them i'm forced to
11:15 pm
back from my friends and family most refugees complain about the quality of water toilets and the harsh desert winter they describe the frustration of spending hours and queues only to find out supplies have run out the dismal conditions have sparked a series of riots in recent months turning refugees against aide workers and one another at that no one is helping each other if you want to get bread you need a knife by your side to fight for it it's gas chaos that's simply too much for some seventy year old automat all zavvi says that he would have preferred the death in syria to life in the camps or if i stayed in syria it would have been better for me they would have killed me yes but it's better than coming here and being humiliated like this i'm a sick old man why he wants to go through this. despite its shortcomings the camp still offers refuge from the gunfire and airstrikes ravaging syria and more help could be on the way at
11:16 pm
a recent conference in kuwait the un got more than one point five billion dollars worth of pledges to aid the conflict stricken syrians but there are concerns it may not be enough we don't know how many more will be coming we have we don't know how many more will cross tonight we have no idea how many more there will be by the end of the week here in jordan or in the long or into it's not a situation which is going to be over very soon and therefore yes it is a strain on the countries of course a strain that jordan may not be able to handle much longer. you know the syrian refugees arrived in jordan a country of limited resources at a time when is experiencing its greatest economic challenge ever nonetheless we gave them all we could if the number of refugees keeps growing will struggle to help them this is the reality. but many camp residents have grown weary of waiting for help unable to live in dignity in neighboring countries some syrians are returning home these families are waiting to get on buses that will take them back
11:17 pm
well you know i've been here for three days but after all i've seen this camp i'm probably more right to go back to syria there's killing there but we live worse than animals kind of existence. hundreds of thousands of syrians came to jordan seeking a better life but here at the artillery refugee camp lives are collapsing all over again they fled syria to escape a bloody war only to find themselves fighting a fresh battle just to survive to seek our front of our. refugee camp in jordan. and into our world update now and a severe eight point zero magnitude earthquake which struck near the solomon islands has been followed by two strong aftershocks so now the warnings issued across the south pacific have now been counseled nine me so waves are predicted near the epicenter and governments had ordered people to flee to higher ground reports suggest several villages were destroyed by the quake and of course we'll

11:19 pm
the u.k.'s national health service has been shaken by a public inquiry into what seen as the worst health care scandal in decades and it has to go into the deaths of patients at stafford hospital alleges stoffel fatally negligent and managers turned a blind eye to falls because they were focused on cutting costs on his point work at heard the stories of people who lost their loved ones that. my wife started hospital in september two thousand and eight to disaster to total chaos when you walk through the door of the world you can smell it. crawl and no staff available to find and. the burglar was left to reach. our entry. on the floor we've been there since breakfast on. the. line in a row for you see. maybe kerry who wasn't given to. the death of john's wife is
11:20 pm
just one of the many horror stories term from the now notorious stuff that hospital relatives say it was a lack of compassion on behalf of the staff that stripped many sick people of that dignity so much evil that sandy would describe i didn't want the same thing to the next thing. they enjoy not like they really cared about nicholson. song. in the most horrible said seems. that no human being should have to go through what she went through and that i needed to know to hold onto that said. julie baby's mother died at stafford in what she calls appalling circumstances but when she blew the whistle on the hospital's practice says she was faced with a cover up all the evidence was that the hospital mid staffs was failing and yet
11:21 pm
the that was never shared with the public and i believe the same as in all the hospitals. it's just the evidence on performance isn't shared with the public lots of it she's kept it in. surgical department that was the most dangerous and dysfunctional that the royal college of surgeons has ever encountered but the public would. ever told. and now it's emerged that a string of senior officials failed to take seriously data which showed the hospital significantly higher than average death rates relatives of over a thousand people never got to see them discharged from the hospital patients died needlessly after suffering a catalogue of neglect left in their own excrement dehydrated and without painkillers it's the biggest scandal to have hit the national health service in recent years but with budgets being slashed and red tape preoccupying hospital manages britain's health secretary is warning that there are little bits of stuff
11:22 pm
that dotted all across the u.k.'s health system the results of the public inquiry into the hospital's failings are expected to issue a damning verdict on the way the whole of the n.h.s. functions is soul destroying. that's a bit of stuff and everybody got to make say you know it's got to be made safe tomorrow because people can't continue to suffer it's like saying well it's ok for people to be involved really isn't it's got to stop but even with the glare of a public inquiry and the media spotlight it hasn't stopped last month it emerged that a former fold baby being treated for breathing problems was found with a dummy taped to his mouth to keep him quiet the nurse being investigated for the incident is the third member of staff at star to be disciplined in the last six months the hospital's chief executive has said we're sorry that despite the progress that has been made there are still some instances of care which fall below
11:23 pm
that which we want to provide sorry might be too late but the tide of public anger swelling campaigners say it's time for westminster to overhaul britain's beleaguered health service before any more lives and needlessly lost polly boyko r t stafford. and have also lines. the best stories from around the globe on our website and this time david cameron says he's made a breakthrough in strengthening the nation based off of the british parliament approves a bill that will allow same sex couples to marry yet overhaul the members of the ruling conservative party voted against it so had to alter dot com to find out what caused the split. and also online tina accuses the u.k. of a colonial grab for oil and natural resources saying it will take the full thousand islands back within twenty years because not a single country in the world supports version's claims on the territory.

alcohol may be a traveling tradition for many russian plane passengers but it could soon become illegal on flights russian lawmakers are thinking of buying people from carrying duty free alcohol on board after a series of drunken brawls on international flights going to our ports. please make sure your seat belts are fastened the tray table is securely stowed and the russian passenger next to you is not intoxicated out of his mind this could well become the pre-taped off message of airlines that often cater to tourists from russia passport tickets and alcohol if they're russian of course in fact the first thing that many russians do when traveling abroad on a holiday or just a simple trip they head of duty free stores to get the bottle of liquor they're going to take along with them of course there is a lot of air was that for heavy drinking on board but that doesn't stop many passengers if there is a will there is always
11:25 pm
a way to sneak that bottle on the plane. recently cases of unruly drunks have been springing up one after another one man attacked a police officer in the v.i.p.'s zone in a moscow airport thinking he was still in another country a different man if the four year old businessman on his way to the egyptian resort of god that lit up a cigarette and literally hit back at a flight attendant who tried to stop him the confrontation spiraled into an all out brawl on board should anybody have known table long pretty much he was demanding something crazy he was forcing himself into a cockpit everyone was trying to hold him back and he was yelling let me and forcing his way into the pilot's seat here you know here's the catch though the resume normal in russia that would allow airlines to restrain much less to punish unruly customers in fact flight attendants technically are not even allowed to physically subdue anyone having
11:26 pm
a fit of rage on an airplane and that doesn't fly over well with the country's main airline that used up national commuting we could buy from one to our crews on board to be able to restrain such bashers we need a law for that and we also an amendment to the current air code which would allow not just their flag but all air carriers to be able to refuse service to pass injuries who have. a problem on board passengers like that see on the end the leg honeymooners chris forced a plane heading for thailand to land in is that the status it was after their festive mood quickly soured and turned into a fight when a flight attendant told them to cut down on the liquor consumption they stated two reasons for drinking fear following and celebrating their marriage this type of emotional travel drinking has gotten russian lawmakers thinking there is seriously so in not too distant future it seems passengers will be able to keep their emotions bottled up in moscow it in r.t.e.
