newly declassified documents reveal that the cia with a truth serum. enhanced interrogation techniques. criticism that's off the. whole deal is not accepted the choice of the forest. they steal. no deal.

and the world anti-doping agency is holding a meeting in azerbaijan will give an update on its decision. it is thursday november the fifteenth just off to here in moscow you're watching international story. documents reveal that the cia experimented with a so-called truth serum as part of a program called project medication and this involves drugging prisoners who had come to other quote enhanced interrogation techniques. project medication was of previously undisclosed element of this program in which in addition to the physical and psychological torture that the cia was engaged in several cia doctors decided

to try to figure out whether they could also find some kind of truth serum that they would use against people's will to inject them with and make them talk the american civil liberties union force in court for two years to obtain the documents which constitute a history of the cia's extraordinary rendition detention program correspondent investigates. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic ordered they were manuals instructions on how to inflict pain it's not a secret in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we tortured some folks see torture isn't only frowned upon because it's evil vile it's also ineffective problem number one imagine the cia's surprise when those people that they were putting through hell resisted grew used to it enhanced interrogation

techniques were begun within six hours these progressed from attention flaps and walling to confinement in both large about five hours and small about one hour book says and finally to the waterboard a.z. seems amazingly resistant to waterboard what happened was that the victims and this is problem number two adapted to suffering cia's own words the prisoners began to see certain torture procedures as escape a break from other harsher measures what a conundrum here having slapped beaten confined and water boarded these people they were getting results so they opted for something new something like a truth serum problem was problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved mission because medical experimentation on prisoners and

a ban on interrogation or use of mind altering drugs the question became moot since the legal department did not want to raise another issue with the department of justice problem number four revulsion cia tortures according to the torturers themselves the doctors others who were present were horrendous to watch the whole. experienced responsible medical officer did was visually and psychologically very uncomfortable for all those witnessing it the problem was so widespread and so serious that employees had to be counseled and then checked to make sure they were still all right in the head after everything they had seen and done and they began only hiring people who had a stomach for torture let me be clear on what the cia doctors role was here when the cia tortures were torturing a prisoner for example by bought by waterboarding him say doctors would medically

resuscitate the prisoner when he would become unconscious from too much torture what they did was allow the cia to continue torturing people over and over problem number five a lot of problems here journalists activists and juice they kept prime kept sniffing around digging up details and publicize and have a day over the government the cia they resisted see for example how the document that revealed all of these looked initially when released under the freedom of information act in two thousand and sixteen or a lot of information in it it's almost like two fingers to the press sometimes these court battles took years but they got it out eventually. ancient history you might say we knew most of this plus it happened in the early

two thousand lessons have been learned and this torture will never happen again. you think they said what do you think about waterboarding i said i like it a lot that i don't think it's tough enough. with you have to keep in mind that we're talking about a forty four country wide torture program. so it's a very rich complex torture machine that was put in place with obviously many hundreds of people complicit. in the torture that happened so this is a high level of top levels of the. last we also military people involved in creating the go and implementing seems to me a shift in that maybe people the cia and the in the federal government the security organs the people that are involved in this kind of thing it is very possible that

they believe this is a way to to to achieve their goals and then and bypass the label of torture the concept of torture is to treat human beings as if they are less than less than human less than animal lesson plan that they are they are not even living creatures they they are. cogs in a wheel experiment in medically with these people it is the equivalent of torture it isn't just is dehumanizing. the u.k. prime minister is under fire over her latest brick so to remarks with the media slamming to resent me for creating a divided government i fractured country as after she suggested britain could leave the e.u. with a no deal breck said or not leave out whole if indeed had terms were not accepted. the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal. or no bricks it. on wednesday to resume managed to secure the backing of cabinet for

a draft of divorce deal after more than five hours of talks which will now have to face another hurdle in how best to see through the process of getting a plan adopted by parliament where on wednesday she was grilled from both sides of the house. from what we know the government steal it's a failure in its own terms now when we're making progress in close to a daily is complaining about does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate directed and betrayed if. you are not delivering the break see people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. . millions of voters across the country the prime minister has been reduced to playing political games rather than playing if the prime minister honestly believes

that she commands the will of the people while she putts have breaks it deal to the people either through a general election or a link that a new referendum the prime minister's offer good choice between the worst of all worlds and a catastrophic series of consequences the collective decision of cap and it was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outline political declaration these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it is a decision that is firmly in the national interest through the may spend several hours meeting with her cabinet in order to thrash out an agreement a collective agreement about this draft brags that text and it would appear. she had mixed results because reports coming out state that a number of her cabinet colleagues including sajid javid. liam fox and

estimate vijay express their opposition to the draft text on a number of them including estimates vary in particular a very vociferous in it and mcveigh was sets of calls for all the members of the cabinet to be able to vote on that position so that it became official who took what position on this draft text but that idea put forward was struck down the report saying that the mood within that meeting was worse than the one that followed the checkers plan and we know of course from that meeting that to david davis and boris johnson both stood down as ministers in the wake of that also the d.p. on who to resign may's government relies so heavily for support they've also said that if this still has the potential to see the new united kingdom break up with one day too will have to withdraw that support perhaps more positively for the prime minister she received. to welcome to this draft text from yo drugs co the

our prime minister and also michel barnier the chief negotiator he said that he considered this to be significant decisive progress now that the prime minister to drum up support and to get rid of any attempts. to try to perhaps hand in letters of no confidence in her if she is going to get the support to get this deal through parliament. well the historian alan scott believes that amid all the breaks in negotiations to resume a has failed to secure any real concessions from the e.u. but as if you also shared by journalist john gaunt. could see to do everything she said she would fight for we've ended up despite her redlines we've ended up probably in the single more in the customs union she's given a separate state is ignored while interest betrayed the scottish fishermen as far as i can see it's almost incredible even more incredible of politics

so i expect that may still be resignations i hope for the honor of the conservative party that are. and i hope that the g. the d.p. and everyone else beaters this poll with seventeen point four million people the majority vote to get out and we should have been out ages ago it's taken two years of this nonsense this is what people are sure a lot of people vote a second referendum look we had a people's vote and the people spoke the politicians should just go on with it and make clearly haven't because let's face it treason is a reminder to their cool but why give a vote to the people if you think going to ignore it and i believe juries of a yes definitely now betrayed us sheesh you mediate this great nation in the way that she's giving to the e.u. you do mount. the death toll in california as wildfires has now risen to

fifty six with the inferno still ravaging that us state some one hundred thirty people are missing and over nine thousand structures totally destroyed the response of some celebrities who are among those who have lost their homes certainly angered some locals.

just on a quarter past the hour here in moscow we are on standby for the russian president vladimir putin who is a attending the what is called the last day of the summit in singapore when he makes his comments we will go live in the meantime there your program returns in just a. hillary

clinton is a warmonger and the democrats are easily conned into spending trillions of dollars in the defense industry and why they control the house and stocks went up they mean is there any clearer indication that the democrats are the party of war. for the tremendously economically because of the we'll do the world by. giving you the power to impose. these these are useful tools of us imperialism of in fact. it's not clear to me what is true that these institutions are deeply unfair thirds of us there are. the majority world and that's really the reason we.

could have you to join us today the world anti-doping agency is holding a meeting in the capital of us at a by john where it will give an update on the reinstatement of a russian. sports correspondent reports from. could be easily described as a very turbulent time for the world anti-doping agency it meets to discuss a plethora of different issues but the most important one is the september's decision to reinstate the russian anti-doping agency as part of the world anti-doping family back then it was clearly explained that their reinstatement was not unconditional there was still one criteria to be met which is providing access to your in samples and. and we are definitely expecting to hear updates on that

during the. but what i've already made it clear that if this criteria is not met then the case of the reinstatement of the will be handed over back to the compliance review committee again we'll be hearing updates on that but all this follows a major rift within the organization just several weeks ago the u.s. anti-doping agency and a number of other national anti-doping agencies including u.k. and australia held a private summit in washington d.c. in america in the white house in fact invited top athletes who even shed tears for the future of clean sport and there were very clear hints made at that summit that unless water manages to reform itself the annual contributions to the budget from the u.s. and u.k. which amounts to about three million dollars off thirty four could be pulled if water doesn't take unnecessary steps while his leadership along with the i.o.c. are increasingly isolated with athletes and public opinion they need to wake up and smell the coffee step down from their ivory tower because athletes are demanding

change and change is coming but the president of the world anti-doping agency sorry greedy was having none of that one government voted against the recommendation one . and one of. the people we hear from most often. british language is group not of government. of national and. she didn't meet again the bone of contention here has been the decision to reinstate very vocal criticism coming from a number of athletes and also the vice president of the world anti-doping agency who was one of the vocal critics one of the two persons in fact a vote against the reinstatement back in september we also expected to hear from her in the course of the day but if you ask the president of the world anti-doping agency sir craig reedy he still believes that this decision was well justified it was a recommendation. of the words from the main issue sport

or subordinate it was sufficient to satisfy the flesh condition. for the other reasons that i have given you which is the huge amount of. determining what was a totally dysfunctional and cheating. cheat in twenty fourteen into a pretty risky agent and deficient. in chino so the combination of these two i think justified what was done so as you can see there are a lot of questions remaining and are still flying high within the world anti-doping agencies situation and we are certain expecting. by the end of this conference today and we'll keep you updated of course. after the hotly contested midterm elections in the united states amid allegations of fraud the state of florida is holding a recount for the senate and governor races the republicans the lead over their

democratic rivals with the results of both races falling within the margin of triggering a recount. the twenty eight thousand midterm elections took place on november sixth it's ancient history the country has moved on well not in florida florida now where i'm president and recounts are underway the recounting is under way recount in broward county to how is it possible is this political conspiracy in election recount crisis lorida is known as a swing state in u.s. presidential elections obama and trump both won florida as a key victory on their road to the white house and you can forget back in two thousand when a recount in florida kept americans biting their nails for months the margin of victory for george w. bush was only five hundred thirty seven votes george walker bush has won florida's twenty five a mark for all votes. this should put him over the top recount

controversy back then and recount controversy today the woman who's in charge of tallying votes in one particular county brenda snipes was caught destroying ballots too soon during the twenty sixteen reelection bid by democratic rep debbie wasserman schultz now debbie wasserman schultz's name is synonymous with corrupt in her party practices from back when she was d.n.c. chief and favored hillary clinton over burning. republicans are quick to remember that scandal now even former florida governor jeb bush who appointed brenda snipes wants her out there is no question the broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law on multiple counts supervisors snipes should be removed from her office for the recounts however jeb bush's reputation isn't exactly clean either many of the cues

to him of delivering florida for his brother back in two thousand by purging the voter rolls thank you very much. and god bless america so no matter who ends up winning the midterm elections in florida or the two thousand and twenty presidential vote one thing is pretty clear florida may have a very good reputation for weather but it's not so hot when it comes to counting votes kaleb moppet artsy new york earlier on monday donald trump claimed that the election results should be called in favor of the republican candidates rick scott and wrong to scientists claiming that an honest vote count is no longer possible. so they were hoping to swap the boot of odds of paris for the streets of shanghai with passengers on a flight to china more than they bargained for when they hopped on the plane. it's.

potential problems former director of the national transportation safety board jamie dentists back with the latest and we've told you about the amazon selection of two new headquarters but today we look at the huge hype surrounding the selection and what does it mean what were the differentiator when it got down to the brass business. and later molly barrows is back and here to help us consider the business of the u.s. environmental protection agency here's a sneak preview they continue to have some pretty pronounced personal problems all that straight ahead but first we had some headlines let's do it. we start today's global report with british prime minister theresa may who moments ago announced her cabinet has backed a draft withdrawal plan for brecht's that ms may said the alternatives to the draft were a no deal breaker. or not leaving the european union at all as described the deal as the best that could be negotiated she also said that difficult days were ahead

a process designated for nations that run deficits over three percent of g.d.p. against italy some even believe that italy may be subject to some sanctions going forward check it out i think we are approaching sanctions from the european union because i think that detention government unfortunately has chosen a conflict in course with the european union so i expect a very tough reaction. yields on tell you and bonds rose to a three week high on the news and moving north to the german economy which has contract it for the first time since two thousand and fifteen according to the latest figures those reports indicate the german economy which is europe's largest of course shrank by point two percent in the third quarter be low expectations of point one percent contraction while the news was not shocking given those expectations and the recent troubles of german automakers over those european emissions scandals and those standards the.
