sees deliberately overlooked reports of mistreatment and rendition as a matter of institutional policy now to reason may has already responded to this these reports publications she said that u.k. personnel were working in a very new and challenging environment at the time which in some cases they weren't prepared for and it took too long the prime minister said to recognise that guidance and training for staff was inadequate and that detainee related work remains important and at times difficult but that intelligence and armed forces personnel are now much better placed to meet that challenge and also perhaps given the content of the report and how much it relates back to what was taking place in the u.s. at the time or what was being done by u.s. agencies there have been rumors swirling around this week in some of the papers that the u.s. government tried to censor the publication before it came out that was something that was denied by the head of the committee that published the report dominic

grieve and i've also got to say the u.s. is yet to comment on the publication that was made by the british government today german chancellor angela merkel says europe's just depends on the migration issue as the block leaders meet for crucial talks in brussels pa story coming up shortly . i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending through to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game played great so it will all chimes with. the base

it's going to it's. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to listen. to going to be press was like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lines in the house. during question. welcome back to the program. global chemical weapons watchdog granting itself the power to assign blame for chemical attacks in syria has been criticized by russia the foreign ministry spokeswoman said they had only made the decision under

pressure from london isn't that if british come when you play out in the do you do political money fuel ations that's exactly how we can characterize it and as we learnt direct bribery of a string of delegations and open blackmail by the u.k. and other governments they sold their odious project decision their grants and characteristic powers to the o.p.c. w two thirds of the nations that voted in this in this vote they voted to change the way in which the u.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons works whereas before before now it was a network of unbiased and neutral experts and labs what they did was. that incident happened they got samples they measured the samples they tested the samples and they said what substance what substance was used they established you know what exactly happened now with this new change from november the u.p.c. w.

will be able to assign blame so in effect it's been turned from a panel of experts into a judiciary into judges who'll be able to say these people were guilty all these people were guilty and this is unprecedented in the sense that the only agency the union in the un that was able to apply sanctions or punish people or people or sides it was it's always been the un security council russia wasn't the only one that voted against this china was india's twenty four other countries basically what happened is all these small micro nations they were there was overwhelming pressure applied upon them those blackmail there was bribery for example their tickets were. made for by great britain other countries accommodation was paid for in hotels that it was almost like a tourist strip for them so they got invited along to vote the way the sponsors wanted and then they left. and now there's a lot of confusion because there's even been talk of russian leaving u.b.c. w.

and that would be tremendous huge blue will also set a precedent but it would be a huge blow against the battle against chemical weapons britain which led the charge here which led this change you know champion this change it cited the hearts and minds across the world that would join together in battle against chemical weapons but russia says this this wasn't the way to go about it and they're being very careful talking about a potential exit now it is now on the table. libya's being torn apart by rival armed groups seven years on from the fall of gadhafi and the city of dan is on the front line of the civil war the libyan national army is now closing in on the city and has reportedly captured one district from militant forces the al and a operates in eastern libya and attacks the internationally recognized government in tripoli. was.

thank you. now eat is the government today in brussels to discuss pressing issues it is a saying it's a question of bang for the future of the european union as one of the main points of discussion will be my question and the german chancellor. has even said it's now make or break the you feel the migration if she can become a cornerstone for europe if we do not manage to solve it it could throw our trustworthiness into question and it's a lot of people say that there will be no european solution that we've already been

waiting more than three years for it and i want to take this chance here to say that this is not true the german chancellor angela merkel was speaking at the bundestag where she updated parliamentarians ahead of the e.u. summit that is taking place in brussels and where of course she's participating she said that migration was the issue that would make or break the european union and she urged parliamentarians to back what she said was a tough but humane asylum and migration policy for the european union should did warn that if germany fails then the future destiny of europe would be determined by the migration issue and of course she's up against some tough opposition that is what the list goes on and when you mr merkel refused to carry out an absolutely possible at the time a closure of the borders back in twenty fifteen you didn't act european quite the contrary your preferred national unilateral action. let's examine the obvious you have not told us about your plan and now you come up in the parliament and want us to cooperate and on this plan the e.u.

summit the german chancellor spoke before and not after the e.u. summit which is why some suggest that this was probably an effort to take the wind out of the sails of some of her critics she did call for european solidarity saying that the twenty eight member states need to act in unison and not act unilaterally but at one point she did trip over her words and seemed to be somewhat confused and we could soon we need to make migration stronger make the control of immigration stronger to run it better. my god they're going to say she needs to be improved in this area now the e.u. summit will of course be dominated by the whole migrant issue and here there's a lot of disagreement italy of course recently saying that it's not going to accept any more migrants when you have said in subsequent to that saying it's opening its ports so a lot of disagreement there although the leaders will support migrant camps being set up outside the european union where people can apply for e.u.

asylum the other issues on the agenda include breaks it on that score we don't expect anything new to come forward there is of course also the issue of trade wars with the united states and here leaders will backward tallaght retaliate three steps to be taken against washington for terrorists that it imposed on steel and then minium and at the same time they will back a lawsuit against the united states in the world in the world trade organization the other main issue that is under discussion is integration for the euro and here leaders would agree that the european solidarity mechanism which is essentially the u.s. owns bailout fund must and should play a bigger role in future. reports of emerge in the british press claiming the u.k. government will buy the house of the former russian double agents so basically pal who was the target of the no. they didn't attack in march and it's claim taxpayer government plans to essentially buy up the property of former double agent sergei

script as well as his possessions and the home of the police officer who was affected in the nerve agent attack nick bailey and it's been reported that the cost of this deal could be up to one million pounds of taxpayer cash and again the british government is yet to confirm or deny those plans but we have heard from a government body in charge of working on the clean up process in seoul's bre tell us that quote we should respect mr screwballs privacy it would be inappropriate to comment on personal matters so there you have that but we have heard from the russian embassy in london who have said that quote any action taken in relation to the allegedly contaminated premises in seoul is very will be seen by russia as part of london's premeditated attempts to make a transparent and joint investigation with russia on board impossible and just to remind our viewers of course russia said many times over and over again that it would like to be part of the investigation while of course it's also been denying

that it has anything to do with the poisoning of sergei scrawl and his daughter yulia back in march if you remember it was on march fourth when all of this started when the pair were found slumped on a park bench and souls very it was later said that they were poisoned with a nerve agent called nava chalk immediately fingers were pointed at russia the british government said that it's highly likely that it would only be russia who would have the means and the motives to carry out such a thing but russia of course said no we have nothing to do with that the two were held in hospital for a little while but both are now well and out of the hospital at this point they were released from their discharge from in may and april and so for an investigation continues while the script polls are somewhere that is yet to be clarified with many questions about whether or not any actual official investigation results will. eventually be released while it is still ongoing and russia this whole time has been waiting for evidence to be provided in terms of

exactly what happened and just last week we saw the prince of wales charles and the duchess of cornwall camilla travel to souls very to sort of boost morale on the ground but it seems that this whole story has slightly left public consciousness here in the u.k. despite all the damage it has caused in relations between russia and the u.k. while still of course we're yet to see officials find official findings of the investigation that is continuing. ati's going underground house to afshin rattansi has been talking to seymour hersh right now and american investigative journalist and pulitzer prize winner about the poisoning of a pal says russians may be responsible for the assassination attempt but not from the kremlin this cripples we were told in this country i mean clearly this was a lethal military grade. nerve gas is if you have to population you that you can have no idea of military grade military grade v.x.

. you could wipe out half of london with that one i mean it's really it was. called a store you know you look i've written about it so yes my something i have written the story i always had about it from my friends in america is. those two were helping your the british intelligence services with information about the russian mafia. that's what they were doing here in other words. the people that would high in the list that would want to hurt them would be the russian mafia russians but not the russian got to worry about the screw brothers well yeah i mean that was the understanding and there's also been some reporting in europe of it that it's been pretty much wiped widespread they had it there was a story but the same actual same thing that they were actually were doing work for the mirror the british intelligence committee activities i mean there is a big russian mafia let's face it from there. you can draw your own conclusions about who wanted to hurt them.

and you can watch the full interview with her in the next episode of going underground. a brand new reports by online news site the into sheds light on the alleged collaboration between american telecoms giant eighteen and u.s. spy agency the n.s.a. . which enabled mass snooping on private e-mails and phone calls apparently eight of the phone companies buildings across major u.s. cities are being used by the n.s.a. for surveillance according to the report the agency collects a large amount of eight hundred eighty customer data as evidence for the alleged collaboration it presents classified n.s.a. documents public records and interviews with staff. and other intercept reports about the alleged collaboration was released in twenty sixteen this concerned the titan point building this is

a skyscraper with restricted access that's able to withstand an atomic blast it's an a.t.m. t. facility but was reportedly used as one of the main centers of the n.s.a. surveillance program former n.s.a. technical director turned whistleblower william binney believes such spying violates the law the agency can neither confirm nor deny its role alleged classified intelligence activities. what eight hundred he called peering sites the eight eight peering sites inside the united states that eight hundred eighty s. those are appearing sites are the sites where they have them all the networks come together and they they put together you know where to get protocols between one another so they can transfer data between each network and the real issue is the other eighty some tapping points that they didn't talk about and those are the ones that are actually targeting the united states citizens and you know that's the violation of the constitution rights of every citizen the united states and they've been doing that since two thousand and one and they aren't even addressing the

european law for example the the e.u. clearly says that the data that any third party holds it belongs to the person involved and they want to share that with anybody they have to get the permission of that person so they've been violating european law so they need a class action lawsuit in europe against the eighty entity in any of the companies it's easier to shoot sue them and more pertinent to do it that way rather than you know try to sue the u.s. government because they'll drag it out in international court for years. that's a roundup of the news this hour after the break back to last the whole state and the status of moscow with that neil harvey and peter schmeichel. as he should be. one of the people so he be in luck because quote i'm on the bus with. just me about what i mean i well me and nothing. but the same.

boat. what i was was a. dumb move to move me. to school i'm. only in the spirit in the prison instead of instead i'm a watchman of blood from a whisper look.

forward to retirement oh is that and there have none he moved can you. hear me shall i. him a national transmission. f.o.c.

i played golf. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside iraq's. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to get the twenty million album fly. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think from what i know about the beautiful guy my great so will more chance with. the bass

this minute. good evening sucked at the size brain today and it's beautiful i think you can just

see behind us not only not so i'm trying to distract you with the beating of muscle to stop an awful lot of excitement going on in the great g. action certainly not between england and belgium. to effectively reserve team lineups not particularly impressive anybody i think. to some that first half of the headline uses a belgium got two more bookings to the name two yellow cards so they absolutely certain if they stay making certain if you stay slightly this goal is that they finish second in the group and then you get to come to moscow and then play at the spots like stadium. so but apart from that and this is what i sometimes don't understand with football players and no one is prepared to make that extra run other than jamie. everyone is cautious. they play the safe pass so when they get the ball in they can actually take

a chance either passing the ball up dribbling forward the turn around passive back and we start over again and that's not even though that's belgium as well. and these guys have you know we made it in the pageantry in the main nine changes and the team that made a change is these guys that getting an opportunity they create an opportunity to show the manager that when you pick your next team i want to be in what we talked about players perhaps playing a sow's into the team is it possible somebody complaints us out of it we saw one woman this we're showing you i think it was a kind of a half opportunity for belgium and it came after. it's in the england doll spilled the ball slightly and it's funny how much attention i got something like i said i was very basic and a little bit of. defeat. but suddenly. gary cahill had to save the ball on the line. and you know if you're watching you see

that they actually showed not not the goal line technology but the showed that situation from the goal line camera because it was that close and had he reacted like a split second later the ball would have gone in place a fumble by jordan pick a pick foot enough course he's not going to play himself i didn't team for making that and you know people make mistakes but it's like. it's like both both teams been instructed to be cautious you know we're good and they'll know this good if we finish where we are now before the game starts we're good don't don't rock the boat don't risk anything and that's actually how this is first time for spin and the referee didn't like it he he he went and bang on forty five stop the kick he wanted to get back to the dressing room have a cup of tea so i complement the only thing separating the teams at the moment then three yellow calls between them now belgium he picked up an extra couple. calls

between them in the five play table which he's walked separates belgium and england at the moment england as it stands in line to take on japan in rough stuff let's see how that develops in the second half but i said you know we have to keep an eye for them everything is a bonus exciting and thrilling and they've gotten up but. it's because the. biggest has a shot if. we don't know exactly what's happening in terms of who is going to be credited this goal to talk and inflection we don't know we haven't seen a conclusive. from that show if it was going in and this is this is a criteria was it going in in spite of that the flexion well then that wouldn't be right because it's cold but maybe it is mirai its own goal we don't know with the look at the table that was the whole don't get three points they say will be a huge celebration and we saw what just getting a goal against england meant for them if they get a wind up first of

a win in panama history in the world cup finals that will be that'll be a national holiday i suspect and the streets of iran school. was seen some partying that they probably haven't seen before that they're actually playing really well i'm quite impressed with them and to be completely honest i've kept an eye of actually kept more than an eye and that came out. more than i want to see in the game. they make game is that a. temple where you know you can you can sort of look at it then you can drop in but the other came to school and and bucks were traditional playing back and playing by the prepared remarks just having a very very good day and a great time the fans having a great time when they're in the stands. so if they were the belgian fans not much for them to cheer so there was some drama though earlier in the day on thursday we saw colombia topping group h. so they put that passes through the top of the table we'll show you the goals from

all that action coming up in a few moments in the meantime though we can speak to a correspondent in the patrik who's watching this i don't know how to describe it apart from this but i want you. and england against belgium let's see things a bit more exciting to be inside the stadium good evening to you how you're enjoying it so far. we've lost him maybe he just does nothing to say that he can add to my country he's just given the. ok you know no correspondent right let's go back then to. what we have in the u.s. and he's smiling so he must be able to take it away i get here you guys i can hear you and i had to run out of there during halftime just to tell you about what's happening inside the stadium and i can tell you it's great stuff all across and even though it is nil nil and just before the half time whistle i heard booing from

the crowd so i guess this bank haters are not so happy about what's going on and when it comes to the actual way the players they support are now doing their job on the pitch but what i'd love pointing out for myself at games like this is the difference in support culture i mean england in belgium on the one hand their neighbors in you. but the way they're cheering on their teams is completely different you can hear the songs for all the english fans and by the way as i expected they are a majority at the kaliningrad arena these guys are sitting down singing songs yes there's the typical england chant when it comes to the belgian guys they're not seeing they're all standing up and they're concentrated in groups of i don't know five hundred people things like that in any case as i was saying we hard. before and just after the half time whistle so does that mean that there will be some

things to be said by the managers maybe you know they're just not putting in enough for that anyway as i was saying before the game the fans were expecting a great spectacle of football definitely some goals to be scored so you know we'll all be hoping that will happen in the second half. but i rushed back. you might miss probably a little kindness i'm going to sit with the correspondent while they are all singing but you know what is it is that something that exploded on the can. you only slightly jealous of course but it's getting to go and be in the stadium and watch the games just on i suppose slightly sorry for one of the guys up to watch this much but hey maybe we'll get some more drama it has tended to be it will that actions come. better late than never. so if some of the england found seems made that journey what they've seen so far and to some of them it's

a big deal is the first of the trip to russia has an example. was was it is. was. my grandfather own father were born in the fall of the truck and so it was in my blood just to follow on from there for the fall farm for as long as i can remember really i think it was me nine hundred ninety eight world cup the recession first got me into football.

playing. on life in the fight on themes of russia over the last four years quite frequently. of some of the signs of mental pain it will. pack for a hot head absolutely miles and while i'm going to live with her had those facts of. wellfleet tried act. i don't really understand the safety concerns of come from this bill a lot of bad press accounts and you're thinking seriously i'm going to think it's been happening right.
