i reporter cusins over fifty countries are sifting the u. ads and secretly detaining interrogating and torturing terror suspects abroad. iran's president is in a historic visit to cairo with western friendly egypt looking ready to open a new phase of relations with tehran. than three forward kuwaiti m.p.'s have been sentenced to three years in prison each just for criticizing the country's leadership.

international news and comment live from moscow this is r.c. with me. and a very warm welcome to the program. as many as fifty four countries took part in the cia's secret detention and prison that rendition program the claim was made in a report from a new york based ngo which claims foreign governments age the u.s. in making sure interrogations were out of reach of the law. has more or less. 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 protists appétit in cia secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations including by hosting cia prisons on their territories detaining interrogating torturing going to be using individuals assisting in a tour in the capture and transport of detainees and so on so the list includes

countries like afghanistan and 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 terror on 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

apology to and to agree 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 that of 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 plenty of countries implicated in allegedly providing so-called prison black science while assisting american kidnapping and torture terror suspects and a former private investigator douglas valentine and knaves america pappas exaggerating the threat of terrorism to impose its military power world wide the

war on terror and sell through the. 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 that will magically exhibit this situation that exists right now is that the united states does 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

a state of emergency that really doesn't exist in which the government's 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 planning joe biden gets i mean from a front line deal british security by sitting around the country stop intelligence officials in downing street. the visit over rainy and lead it to each of their first in more than three decades is seen as a sign that to me at least have a weight so moving closer president ahmadinejad has used pressure from western states over his nation's nuclear program was attending a muslim summit to discuss security issues of egypt's mohamed morsi egypt and iran

seven relations after the islamic revolution and the further deteriorated after egypt's peace treaty with israel morse's us about rise to power out of egypt's uprising is seen as major hurdle to better ties with tehran which are strongly opposed to the current revolt in syria but some analysts believe keeping the door open to the islamic republic shows cairo is pursuing a more independent foreign policy than his predecessor and their journalist in new york clark told my colleague bill doth that iran needs all the friends it can get with the ground strongest ally in the arab world has now been serious serious been abroad a lot of iran this is the reason why pro israel lobby why the americans while the saudis etc so keen to talk a saudi now there's no shock moment the syrian government is about what we're all going around would be even more isolated going to use today and be a very dangerous position so that's what makes sense for iran to be trying to build bridges with. all the financial motives behind this meeting where we've got to believe the economy is going bearing in mind the situation there 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 bill and i think more as you point of view i think are we seeing r.t. being all going to rest in egypt but people are very happy with how things have gone but you see occurring on the mubarak. and shoot people are on the run be. one way in which you 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 and he could get popularity at home by taking a more conciliatory line toward iran and iranians the point if you course they've been pretty good on house i mean the pro israel lobby has been very successful in passing it giving the u.s. and other countries to pass tougher and tougher sanctions on iran the ring economy is a really bad state so iran needs all the friends you can get there's no reason for iran to be isolated there's no proof it's about opinion weapons it's got a peaceful nuclear energy program which there's no evidence to the contrary so therefore it's it's wrong but it should be totally isolated now retreat for the

syrians are fleeing the war those displayed by the conflict or with allies to stay in the country rather than take shelter in parks until dania refugee camps or explain why later in the program. these will that certainly would have been designed not only in the most horrible circumstances that no human being should have to go through what he's going through in. health care that doesn't care patients at a u.k. hospital died needlessly because of stuff negligence says a public inquiry report on that and again that. download the official r.t. application to yourself choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorite . if you're away from your television and well it just doesn't matter now with your mobile device you can watch r.t. any time anyway.

the u.s. vice president has gained exclusive access to london security plans by sitting in on the downing street meeting fresh from visits to billing and powers joe biden met prime minister david cameron and the inside of you from britain's military and intelligence chiefs. has more now on the president axis. for the vice president he's known for sometimes putting his foot in his mouth kind 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 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 foreign nationals to attend u.k. national security council meetings although it certainly is not common practice now perhaps that's a sign of 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 want 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 from 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've had this special relationship since winston churchill's first court in the fridge we've seen lots of arguments between also on those you know state clearly there was a huge to. agreed 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 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 there's lots of people here don't even believe that relationship is special. coverage has been praised for its

pioneering role in democracy ranking fast among the gulf states of freedom of press all the social networks are paid to be different to x. rays were sentenced to ten five years for anti regime message on twitter and three former opposition m.p.'s were sentenced to prison terms for criticizing their amir's policies and mystery traits as kuwait or not react 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 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 come in and condemn 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 paris and so forth. jordan is struggling with massive influx of syrian refugees saying that number could exceed seven hundred thousand this year they draw down your government says it all not be able to accept the many more expected if president assad falls although some syrians are deciding to take their chance against bullets and strikes at home rather than suffer the school and camps oh please this is our report. and 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 we lift home why is this happening why isn't anyone here to help us too many people and not enough help the sprawling ten 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 back from my friends and family because the 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 the day 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 off medals obvious says that he would have preferred a 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 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 lawn 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 whether 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 well you know i've been here for three days but after all i've seen in this campaign probably more want 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 sob story 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 out front of r t. refugee camps in jordan. and i'm dave now and this severe eight point zero magnitude earthquake was struck near the solomon islands so one and a half meter waves followed the quake near the islands but the tsunami warnings issued elsewhere in the south pacific have been cancelled governments had ordered people to flee to higher ground reports so several villages were destroyed and you can follow the live updates on this developing story on our twitter feed. and some other global news making headlines this hour the french military assisted by local militia has taken control of dow the last major city to remain in control of as the miss militants paris estimated several hundred rebels have been killed since the offensive in mali began last month but while the advance has been swift some

reports such as the french led really rebel ration campaign liberation i should say has also the civilian casualties the french foreign minister has hinted at the operation it may be over at five o'clock. a league to justice department memos that shows the u.s. government allows drone strikes on its citizens abroad to report shows washington can target all i can either link american suspects even if they are considered to be merely plotting against the u.s. doesn't have to be considered imminent or a suspect to be targeted and there doesn't have to be evidence of an act of plot. there is national health service has been shaken by a public inquiry into all same as the wost health care scandal in decades and investigation into the deaths of patients at a stop at a hospital alleges stock will finally negligent on managers turned a blind diet of falls because they were focused on cutting costs or his point heard

public would ever told us 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 off the suffering a catalogue of neglect left in their own excrement dehydrated and without painkillers it's the biggest scandal to hit the national health service in recent years but with budgets being slashed and red tape preoccupying hospital manages a person's health secretary is warning that there are little bits of stuff 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 they sold the story. as a bit of stuff and everywhere that it 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 homed 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 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 the roll so lined up the best stories for you from around the globe

your seat belts are fast and the treaty blue sickeningly 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 ticket and alcohol if you're russian of course in fact the first thing that many russians do when traveling abroad on holiday or just a simple terms they had a duty free store is to get the bottle of liquor they're going to take along with them of course there are a lot of air ones that prohibit drinking onboard. but that doesn't stop many passengers if there is a will there is always 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 try 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 he was yelling let me and forcing his way into the pilot's seat here. 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 a fit of rage on an airplane and that doesn't fight over well with the country's main airline that used up national could mean we could buy them once our crews on board to be able to restrain such passengers we need a law for that and we also want to mince to the current air code which would allow not just air flag but all air carriers to be able to refuse service to pass
