rory it's an extremely nerve racking time for two reason me as the u.k. watches on holding their breath to see where this bread said chaos is eventually going to end up leading in fact last night theresa may and what was perceived as really putting her premiership on the line had to convince her cabinet ministers to support the draft agreement she had reached with the european union a five hour debate unravels there were certainly lots of tension lots of discontent on that deal we know that her cabinet cabinet was essentially split on this matter in the end after all of those negotiations she did come out what could be perceived as a victorious continuing to believe that it's either her way or the highway. the choice before us is clear this deal all leaves with no deal only or no bricks it will. however of course to resubmit his approach to grex it has certainly karmic
5:03 am
quite a high price already we have seen a number of high profile resignations inside her government including earlier today perhaps it secretary dominic dominic rob became one of the leaders to resign over two weeks of means handling of present but in terms of where things had now we do know that this draft agreement that was signed off by the cabinet last night is now going to head to the european union where november twenty four twenty fifth other twenty seven you member states are going to sign off on that but then the tricky part comes when it comes back to westminster and has to be voted on by parliament and this is going to be really the hardest roadblock for to resubmit especially given the quite. a heightened dissatisfaction inside the house of commons we have seen on this issue. from what we know the government still it's a fine of you know in its own terms now when we're making progress and close to
5:04 am
a daily is complaining about does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between a botched jail or no jail and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate the try to vote. you are not delivering the breaks to people who voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservatives. millions of voters across the country the prime minister has been reduced to playing political games rather than playing the game the prime minister honestly believes that she commands the will of the people will she putout breaks it deal to the people either through a general election or failing that the new referendums the prime minister's or for your choice between the worst of the worlds. and a catastrophic series of consequences well though the british prime minister is
5:05 am
expected to appear at the house of commons again today quite shortly to outline all of the latest however this is not expected to go smoothly either especially amidst the speculations going around westminster that a possible vote of no confidence could come this is been rumored for weeks if not months now and it continues to be the case that it's been discussed including in the press here in the u.k. whether vote of no confidence could calm as soon as today and some of the newspaper headlines here have really been not very forgiving to theresa may some of them like this one quite self-explanatory we have some that have talked about eleven ministers rejected her proposals forty tory rebels are plotting to bring her down war cabinet this one reads me papers over the cracks me rex a clown a split cabinet a split party and a split nation but at the moment to teresa means doing her best to try to keep this
5:06 am
ship afloat while herself admitting that very difficult times ahead where you talk about a reason we're trying to keep keep this ship afloat we're not just getting this news and stuff here that you can minister for work and pensions mcveigh has just resigned as well so there is another one dropping off the boat and i see a chart and i thank you. newly declassified documents reveal that the cia experimented with a so-called truth serum as part of a program called project medication that's involved drugging prisoners who have not succumbed to what the quote enhanced interrogation techniques. project medication was have 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
5:07 am
the american civil liberties union fought in court for two years to obtain the documents which constitute a history of the cia's extraordinary rendition detention program artie's but i guess the investigates. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic or that there were manuals instructions on how to inflict pain that'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 those these progress from attention flaps and walling to confinement in both large about five hours and small about one hour book
5:08 am
says and finally to the war to board the 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 ha having slapped beaten confined and water boarded these people they were getting results so they opted for something new something like a truth serum problemo. was once problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved mission against 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
5:09 am
justice problem number four revulsion cia tortures according to the torturers themselves the doctors others who were present while horrendous to watch the whole experience responsible medical officer added 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 torturers were torturing a prisoner for example by bach 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
5:10 am
number five all the problems here journalists activists and juice they kept prime kept sniffing around digging up details and publicizing every 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 not 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.
5:11 am
you think they said what do you think about waterboarding i said i like it a lot don't think it's tough enough. 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 and did in the torture that happen so this is a high level of top level civilian. plus we also military people involved in creating the velvia and implementing seems to me a shift in that maybe people a cia and 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 achieve their goals and then and bypass the label of
5:12 am
torture the concept of torture is to treat human beings as if they are less than less than human less than an animal less plant that they are they are not even living creatures they they are. cogs in a wheel experiencing medically with these people is the equivalent of torture it isn't just is dehumanizing. now to be asked in somewhat in singapore which is wrapping up today the russian president a bit earlier brief the media on the outcomes of the gathering of southeast asian countries and their partners reporting from singapore artie's ecosystem so the russian president has officially wrapped up his program here in singapore and well it's been busy three days for him here far away from home and he's met all sorts of leaders from all over the world so at least final media conference i asked him whether or not he himself is satisfied with the results of his trip. mr president
5:13 am
you've come a long way to come here to singapore usenet as you say almost all the participants all kinds of countries with very different geopolitical interests how would you characterize the results of the work here first russia was here in two thousand and five as a guest was that time there was a certain order being formed in terms of relations between the countries and it has nothing to do with the process of globalization and nothing to do with military blocs of this forum we see the promotion of the idea of unity in our relations here are based on a wide basis in each country chooses its own way of developing this format is very beneficial to all of us globally as the russian president also had a brief chat with the american vice president mike pence and vladimir putin stressed that well every hostile jav like sanctions for example that washington aims at russia well it does impact these meetings and so the talk. here in singapore must have been no different so also glad i'm appalled to the japanese
5:14 am
prime minister and those between the countries right now is the issue of the coral islands from japan still has not signed a peace treaty with moscow officially since world war two because tokyo does have a claim on these islands and apparently as a result of this conversation now this is much closer to being resolved and also vladimir putin talked about the situation in ukraine and he's once again reiterated that while the ukrainian president upon these just committed to the. hill right now doesn't seem and you close for ukraine so a lot of to discuss a lot of to take away and a lot of to work on glad i'm a journey back from singapore to law school just a reminder of our breaking news our top story here on our international three members of teresa mayes cabinet have resigned over her drive to divorce steal his dollars off as she presented it to just a moment when he will be speaking with the leader. for reaction.
5:15 am
to. put themselves on. line they get a little reject. so when you want to be president and you. want.
5:16 am
to be right to be right this is what the three of them will be. interested always in the water. they should. know this is international and straight back to our top story now three members of teresa mayes have resigned over a draft divorce deal just hours after she presented it to them they are secretary work and pensions secretary north and minister let's cross live now to work. joining us live here on naughty international today great to see you today so in just a few hours to reset has lost three key members. on the brink. i
5:17 am
certainly think her leadership is i wouldn't be surprised if she's not gone by next week as prime minister because it's difficult to see how she can survive this she's come up with this woodrell agreement that nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the lever's because we don't really leave no one's going to be a bit happy about this i don't believe she can get it through parliament and of course it has to come through the european parliament. will vote against it i think other groups will vote against it here be surprised if it actually got through this parliament either do you expect any more resignations. i wouldn't be surprised i think we've had thirteen so far haven't we and i think that anybody in the conservative party who. values their seat and actually wants to win again whenever the next election comes we'll have to disassociate themselves from this because the top. party membership is up in arms we have in ukip we've
5:18 am
been inundated over the overnight with people applying to join online not just tories but across the board. and people are deserted the tory party i've seen on twitter people tearing up their cards and taking photographs so this deal doesn't actually satisfy anybody and i've been on russia today many times over the last two years rory talking about this and i've said you know this is an elaborate sure rod in order to reach this point where we have not really leaving the e.u. with all agreement this is my was a reminder she never wanted to leave and now she's got this deal that basically we don't leave that doesn't satisfy anybody so i'm not sure what the next step is going to be argued on your program and everywhere else that i could get all the way to lead is actually to repeal the one nine hundred seventy two european communities act as a first step leave under our law and then tell the european union how our exit is going to work what we've got they're laughing at us are i heard
5:19 am
a remark that mr vanier is supposed to have my. which is that he has broken britain well he certainly won this battle but he hasn't won the war because the british people are not going to stand for this seventeen point four million people voted to leave that's what i want to do and i think even more people now will want to leave when they understand how the european union treats written and. zero respect they actually have for us and for us in our democratic decision to leave it's interesting how you describe this as an elaborate sharod it do you think a vote of no confidence might be in the offing. i think that's quite possible. you know i'm hearing speculation about this that the chairman of the conservative party already has the forty eight letters that he needs in order to trigger a vote of no confidence i wouldn't be surprised at all. and whichever side of the argument you're on in the is how can you have any faith or confidence in mrs may to . we deliberate i mean she isn't satisfying anybody in this respect and you know
5:20 am
she's she's a reminder who is supposed to be in charge of the leading process and yet as i say has reached this agreement where we don't really leave and she's completely useless all over this is the idea liberal. plot to actually not take us out of the european union or she's completely useless you can't have it all the way she's done a competent job. you can't keep going to the european union and sign on please my how my we leave please agree or deal with us because they don't want to do this not in their interest that we should leave so why would they help us do that it's utterly and totally the wrong way to approach this kind of a negotiation which is you tell the other side what it is that you're going to do and then you tell them how you want to cooperate with them in areas that need joint decisions and co-operation but all of the balls in their court and then expect them to play a fair game is ridiculous. the labor leadership say that a general election is the only way out of this impasse how likely are they to get
5:21 am
one and would it actually break the deadlock do you think. i think that it's a possibility i think what mrs may probably said cabinet over the last couple of days individual issues had them in the office says well you can accept you can keep me in my not really leaving the european union drawl agreement or we might end up with a general election and you'll get jeremy corbyn and he's rabid marxists that obviously hasn't frightened them enough so i feel a general election could be in the offing and i'm preparing been preparing my party for that for the last few months with selecting candidates telling them to raise money for an election so we we will if that election comes we will be targeting remind all parties in leave seats as a priority you moved that we need to fight as many seats as possible because you keep is the only party. that is a genuine drollest party and we have been for twenty five years and we've been
5:22 am
entirely consistent in everything that we've said over that twenty five years and everything that i have predicted about this whole process since the referendum is come to pass is exactly as i said it was developed in this completely dishonest why where we're now left in this absolutely ridiculous situation which is unparalleled in british history where we've had a prime minister prepared to sell out the country to a foreign power which is precisely what she's done just about in that my last question before i let you go i know you've got a busy day ahead of you but if you were to send a message or any advice to reserve may what would you have to say. for god's you're not doing any good let somebody step up to the role of prime minister who actually does want to leave and has a clue on how to actually make it happen and if the prime minister wants any advice on that i'll be only too happy to give it to them. joining us live here on r.t. international a great pleasure to have you on the thank you for your insight thank you. or the
5:23 am
president of the world anti-doping agency has announced that a delegation will visit a laboratory in moscow with the end of this month as part of the reinstatement deal with its russian wing. he was speaking in the capital of azerbaijan where wada held a meeting on the reinstatement process artie's sports correspondent reports from back. could be easily described as a very turbulent time for the world anti-doping agency it meets and become 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 the reinstatement was not unconditional there were still one criteria to be met which is providing access to your in samples and the board's henri's and we are definitely expecting to hear updates on that during the day 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
5:24 am
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
5:25 am
. and one of. the people we hear from most often. british language is group not of government. of national and. 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're also expecting to hear from her in the course of the day but if you ask the president of the world anti-doping agencies are a greedy he still believes that this decision was well justified it was a recommendation we heard from ari shapiro. the use of the words the financials from the main issues sport and they're subordinated entities or sufficient to show
5:26 am
just for the first condition i'm not sure what we did for the other reasons that i have given you which is the huge amount of your name determining what was the totally dysfunctional and cheating being egypt changed in twenty four team into a pretty risky agent and efficient being agents you know should the combination of these two i think justify 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 some answers to come by the end of this conference today and we'll keep you updated of course thanks for joining us here on r.t. international on this thursday more of your worldwide headlines with my colleague in about twenty five minutes and expectations more potential breaking news in the saga in london we are back.
