a new song russia and around the world this is all she was mijnheer of a hello and welcome to the program. as many as fifty four countries took part in the cia's secret detention and prison recent issue program the claim was made in a report from a new york based and trio which claims foreign governments aided the us and making sure interrogations were out of reach of the law r.t. is going to check and has more now. 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 river and bishan operations including by hosting cia prisons on their territories detaining interrogating torturing going to be using it in vigils assisting in a tour in the capture and transport of detainees and so on so the list includes

countries like afghanistan else trail 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 who same solemn mohammad almost thirty 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 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 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 plenty of countries implicated in allegedly assisting the us in the kidnapping and torture of terror suspects and former private investigator at douglas not in time and leaves america it's perfectly exaggerating the threat of terrorism to impose its military power lines the war on terror it's self is is an overstatement vast overstatement of the dangers that exist in the it's been proven. get us there that we simply

created more enemies in iraq we've created more enemies the war on terror is a war and war killing torturing 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 those military overhand that it's not willing to give the go by having built three over here that kind of force its will all rule 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 is able to portray the united states the greatest military power that ever existed on the

planet earth and some of it though the person that was being bullied. the truth is exactly the opposite. now 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 the front line view of british security by sitting among the country's top intelligence officials in downing street. the visit of the reigning leader to egypt the first in more than three decades is seen as a sign that to the middle east heavyweights are moving closer president ahmadinejad 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 islamic revolution and they further deteriorated after egypt's peace treaty with israel nor says you as a bank rise to power out of egypt's uprising is seen as major hurdle to better ties

with tehran which is strongly opposed to the current revolt in syria some analysts believe keeping the door open to the islamic republic shows cairo is pursuing a more independent foreign policy than most is al such criticism and their journalist neil clark told my college build off that iran needs all the friends it can to get around the strongest ally in the arab world has now been serious serious been a brutal out of iran this is the reason why the pro israel lobby why we americans why the saudis etc so keen to talk shout now there's no such moment the syrian government is about to fall but we're all going around would be even more isolated than it is today going to be a very dangerous position so that's what makes sense for iran to be trying to build bridges with cairo all of their financial motives behind this meeting where we've got to believe the economy is going bearing in mind the situation there in iran with all those sanctions that appearing to have a a quantum impact on the iranian economy do you do they both need each other i think

they do bill and i think more 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 are gone legacy incurring all of our watch. and shipped on iran the wrong 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 from 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 iran 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 developing nuclear weapons it's got a peaceful nuclear energy program which which is no evidence to the contrary so therefore it's it's wrong but it should be totally isolated. their case national health service has been shaken by a public inquiry into what seen as there was house gas candle in decades an

investigation into the deaths of patients as stothard hospital alleges stuff while facing a negligent and managers turned a blind eye to falls because they were focused on cutting costs he's going to boca heard now the stories of people who lost their loved ones that. my wife started hospital in september two thousand and eight it was just a disaster is a total chaos when you walk through the door of the world you smell it. you know to me crime you know stuff from very little to find in. the books that was left and ridge. on the floor we've been there since breakfast on. the. line in a row for you see. maybe carry if you wasn't given to. the death of john's wife is just one of the many horror stories to match 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 their

dignity so much evil that sandy would describe people not just in song. in the most horrible circumstances. no he wouldn't be she'd have to go through what she went through 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 there that the hospital mid staffs was failing and yet the that was never shared with the public and i believe the same as in all the hospitals 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 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 for their free ride i've got to make say you know it's got to be made so tomorrow because people can't continue to suffer 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. no retreat for the syrians fleeing border that is displayed by the conflict lies to stay in the country rather than take shelter in packs of jordanian refugee comes to explain why or shortly after this break.

to be your for your media project revealed on darkie dot com. this is the welcome bond the u.s. finds president has gained exclusive access to london security plans by sitting in on a downing street meeting fresh from visits to berlin and paris drove by too much prime minister david cameron and called they inside the from britain's military and intelligence chiefs. has more now on the unprecedented access for the vice president he's known for sometimes putting his foot in his mouth it could look almost being another gaffe but some a very quick to point out when he said that he talks of being delighted to have been invited to that meeting and of having spent whole his delight in security meetings in the us but people are quick to point out you don't actually have a spoke for years on the us national security council but he can that 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 to. partin 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 such as syria afghanistan iran and north africa now it's not unheard of the 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 jay biden made mention to the special relationship that britain and the us enjoy he spoke of the us 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 it a satisfactory relationship that 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 and stephen a few 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 i'm glad 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 first coined the phrase we've seen lots of arguments between ourselves and those in the united states clearly there was a huge disagreement 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 outside of the european union so

clearly the special relationship is often tested but there's also people here don't even believe that relationship is special. kuwait has been. praise for its pioneering role in democracy ranking first among gold states for freedom of the press but reality that can be different three opposition m.p.'s were sentenced to prison terms for criticizing the ruling and the years policies to activists were also sentenced to ten and five years for writing anti regime messages on twitter and analyst eric draitser says kuwait will 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 committee 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 peace for teaching 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 a seven hundred thousand they say they don't and in government says it will not be able to accept the many more expected if president assad falls although some sirrahs i decided to take that chance against bullets and asked trikes at home

rather than suffer this calling accounts of his less account and of reforms. 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 oh i don't have nothing when relief to go home why is this happening why isn't anyone here 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 believed. 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. 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 i thought 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 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 man on or into a can 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 well you know i've been here for three days but after all i've seen in this

compound 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 our front of our t.v. . refugee camp in jordan. and update now on the severe eight point zero magnitude earthquake which struck near the solomon islands one and a half meter wave followed the quake near the islands at least four people have reportedly been killed and several villages destroyed but tsunami warnings issued elsewhere in the south pacific have been cancelled governments had ordered people to flee to higher ground and you can follow live updates on this developing story on his twitter feed. so some other global news making headlines this hour

the french military assisted by local militia has taken control of the last major city to remain in the control islamist militants paris estimates that several hundred rebels have been killed since their fence of in mali began last month while they advance has been swift as some reports suggest the french led liberation campaign has also caused the civilian casualties the french foreign minister has hinted the operation may be over by march. a leaked justice department memo such as the u.s. government allows trans trikes on its citizens abroad the report shows washington is going to target all kinds of american suspects even in that considered to be a merely plotting against the u.s. and a child does not have to be considered imminent or a suspect to be targeted. i also lined up the best stories from around the globe on our website for you and this time david cameron says he's made a breakthrough in strengthening the make sure this after they british parliament

make sure your seat belts are fastened the treaty boosie can really stowed and the passenger next to you is not intoxicated out of his mind passport tickets and alcohol of course there is the lot of the airlines and prohibit drinking onboard but that doesn't stop many passengers if there is a will there is always a way to sneak the bottle on the plane. we simply 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 the moscow airport thinking he was still in another country a different man in fifty four year old businessman on his way to the egyptian resort of god lit up a cigarette and literally hit back at a flight attendant who tried to stop him the confrontations. piled into an all out brawl on board something if i get my own table one 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 reason or more 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 fly over well with the country's main airline but that use of national could be a major part of ones 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 their flag but all air carriers to be able to refuse service to passengers who have created a problem on board passengers like to see on the end the leg honeymooners who forced a plane heading for thailand to land in his back to stand 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

declared eighty five hundred liters of anthrax but unscom estimates that saddam hussein could have produced twenty five thousand liters it should come as no shock then that since saddam hussein forced out the last inspectors in one thousand nine hundred eighty we have amassed much intelligence indicating that iraq is continuing to make these weapons we know that iraq has at least seven of these mobile biological agent factories what followed this anthrax fear mongering was operation iraqi freedom that cost over eight hundred billion u.s. dollars thousands of american casualties over a million. and dead iraqis and of course no weapons of mass destruction to justify a military occupation that lasted nearly nine years today history repeats itself as the well oiled gears of the american war machine singles out countries like iran and north korea.
