make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept. their forwards. so i stay there i will be all about that the next day there's a culture of all accountability police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their cry. the british prime minister to resume a battle to get him to back a draft plan that is key members of the cabinet including the man who helped negotiate a deal quit the last game piece to consider the national interest and give it back the withdrawal agreement represents a huge and damaging failure the deal that is already dead in the water. nearly declassified documents reveal that the cia experimented with so-called truth

serum on prisoners who resisted other enhanced interrogation techniques the world anti-doping agency has to inspect to moscow look forward through his russia tries to rebuild and shattered sporting reputation. hello there she's gone five pm here in moscow you're watching international now theresa may has faced a grilling him the british parliament over her draft breaks it plan while hard line breaks cities have started attempts to oust the pm and that is already amid a slew of resignations from her cabinet over the deal among those who have quit secretary dominic rob the work and pensions secretary estimate for a debate raged in the house of commons over the course of the country should take. we could choose to leave with no deal we could risk no bricks. it's all we can to

wait. for or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal the withdrawal agreement and the political career a should represent a huge and damaging for you as a psychologist it's clear to me to see that the prime minister is in denial the prime minister comes before us today trying to sell us the deal that is already dead in the water i'm almost tempted to ask if the honorable members opposite will put their hands up the family actually do support the prime minister and the senate proposal and. my road order food fruit so good we would leave the customs union. the next two says of a walk to my right over the frozen so that she would move the integrity of the united kingdom the whole procedure called so is all the was my right or who froze

so that we would be on to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice oscar one hundred seventy four says another was quite chaotic times in the u.k. at the moment as theresa may not only tries to push through and see her brecht's a deal but also essentially save her post as prime minister of this country we're seeing right now a new set of resignations having taken place this morning with high profile cabinet ministers and junior ministers heading towards the door in defiance of may's approach towards bracks it's we certainly know that this is an extremely nerve wracking time not just for her but for the rest of the country that i was watching exactly where this brags that chaos is going to be leading i can show you some newspapers here that are not being forgiving towards to resubmit all while this one is pretty self-explanatory as you can see there. others that are talking about

eleven ministers rejected her proposals forty tory rebels are plotting to bring her down war cabinet and others are seeing me papers over the cracks and here we have another one that talks about a split cabinet a split party and a split nation and indeed all of this comes following to recently yesterday holding an entire five hour session with her cabinet ministers trying to push through and convince them that her draft deal agreed with the e.u. is the best one and the only one possible indeed we saw a very tense and divided cabinet. members of which did not necessarily want to accept what she was offering the alternatives to her of pushing them to agree with her were resignation some of them we have seen today there's been quite a bit of talk of me potentially having to resign herself and today she has also been appearing in parliament where there is still of course quite

a bit of indignation because what happens next is this draft deal now that it's been approved by cabinet ministers following quite a fight it is going to go to brussels where it will be signed off by e.u. member states but then it has to come back to westminster and be approved in parliament and that is where it gets tricky course over the last several weeks there has been speculation has been ripe that a possible vote of no confidence could take place with the letters floating in of tory m.p.'s demanding that theresa may step down there have been a renewed wave of these speculations going around today saying that this could happen as early as today this thursday because of this renewed dissatisfaction with the way to recently has been handling this so indeed a very very chaotic time as theresa may try is to do her best at this point to try to keep this ship afloat. we asked the u.k. independence party leader jared batten whether trees amaze government is teetering

on the brink i 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 withdrawal agreement that nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers because we don't really leave so 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 also has to come through the european parliament ukip any piece will vote against it i think other groups will vote against it here so i'd be surprised if it actually got through this parliament either 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 any body. now the news newly declassified documents reveal that the cia experimented with the so-called truth serum as part of a program called project medication this involved drugging prisoners who have not succumbed to other quote enhanced interrogation techniques project medication was

previously undisclosed element of this program in which in addition to the physical and psychological torture that the cia was engaged in several 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 well the american civil liberties union fourteen caught for two years to obtain these documents and they gave the lowdown on the cia's extraordinary rendition program with more details his mode of gasoline. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic ordered 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 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 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 and this is problem number three seriously illegal

there were at least two legal obstacles approved bush and his 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 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 number five a lot of 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. do you think they said what do you think about waterboarding i said i like it a lot they don't think it's tough enough. with they 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 belt and implementing seems to me a shift in that maybe people a cia and the in the federal government in 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 that they are. cogs in a wheel experiment in medically with these people it is the equivalent of torture it isn't just is dehumanizing. let's head to singapore on the s.c.n. summit which does wrap up on thursday the russian president has briefed the media on the results of the gathering of countries from southeast asia and their partners on a report from the event. 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 these final media conference i asked him whether or not he himself is satisfied with the results of his trip because none of us today was you know you mr president you've come a long way to come here to singapore you have met 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 and at 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 this forum we see the promotion of the idea of unity our relations here are based on a wide basis in each country chooses its own way of development 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 jab like sanctions for example that washington aims at russia will it does impact these meetings and so the talk here in singapore must have been no different so also vladimir putin talked to the japanese prime minister and the most heated topic between the countries right now is the issue of the coral islands in france 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 apparently is just not committed to the minsk process so right now peace doesn't seem any closer for ukraine so a lot of to discuss a lot of to take away and. a lot of to work on it's journey back from singapore to

more school. of reporting there still to come this hour world antidoping chiefs prepare to inspect the moscow a laboratory is russia looks to restore its sporting reputation well have a look at that story more detail just after the break. hillary clinton is a war monger and the democrats are easily conned into spending trillions of dollars and the defense industry and why they control the house defense stocks went up they mean is there any clearer indication that the democrats are the party of war. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back now after the hotly contested midterm elections in the u.s. amid allegations of fraud the state of florida is holding a recount for the senate and governor races the republicans their lead over the democrat rivals but both results did fall within the margin of triggering

a recount. reports the twenty eighteen 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 underway recount in broward. county to how is it possible is this political conspiracy an election recount crisis lorida is known as a swing state in the us 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 electoral 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 if 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 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 or it may have a very good reputation for weather but it's not so hot when it come. counting votes . artsy new york or donald trump is already crying foul on twitter and says an anonymous vote is no longer possible as large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere the president is demanding that the election results be called in favor of the republican candidates rick scott and wrong to scientists. the world anti-doping agency is set to visit a laboratory in moscow later this month this part of russia is to rebuild its reputation in the wake of the dating scandal which rocked world sport what made the announcement at a meeting in the capital of i suppose your own from that meeting that i wonder delegation vision russian years. vision on the twenty.

we will complete dish work well before the thirty first december twenty. first flying high from the other side of the atlantic the u.s. side are accusing the water of you know caving into the russians and criticizing the decision in september to reinstate. but this time the big news obviously obviously of the day is that moscow and the sports minister of russia allowed. the access to its laboratories in moscow particular you read samples which was the biggest and the most important criteria of a restart is not conditional unconditional reinstatement in september now we know that the water delegation will travel to moscow on november twenty eighth and i.

the end of this toxic saga here is what he had to say this will resolve the situation we have with the russian authorities. and you dropping agency compliant subject to the condition of the local one start condition which beautified then we carry on normal which any other national and dropping agency. we have of around the world individual always be in my view the cleanest leeched around the world is a good system in russia i also managed to later catch up with the secretary general of the organization is there live in italy he said pretty much the same confidence as the president but i'd like to remind that this happens among the very strong confrontation between the u.s. anti-doping agency vocal critics of reinstatement they even had a private summit in washington d.c. two weeks ago where they even hinted at

a possibility of pulling the budget that the us contributes every year to waters and your budget and i also asked the president off water whether he felt there was any kind of confrontation with their u.s. colleagues. and i think it would be fair to see the view of the meeting that was an old. ocean indicated that it was pretty selective. it was limited to people who to get particular. discussion decision and she shows. that there were. inappropriate comments made by some individuals coming out as a teaching which we don't wish. to london today she later. now we also have a confirmation from the russian ministry official from the minister himself that russia indeed granted the access to moscow laboratories and obviously will be for.

that process on the damage twenty eight every step of the way make sure you tune in to r.t. to get the details on that day what happens in moscow. with that report now finally this hour they were hoping to swap the boulevards of paris for the streets of shanghai but passengers on a flight to china did end up with more than they bargained for.

the first time. ok there we sat up. and all our nights of. the end got. us. to the in. the mall or slow so cool.

i. was not is the. libby. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race is on all sides spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with the systems to sleazeball. my milk or something and this is their.

role is going to say to the board a business with a must do to it look. this is need with. a lot of fellows on the shuttle bus now all because i am. just. not. the case is that i've got to go and that can be a bios to look at the model you punish diplo it's most that it's so much more the show such as the flu it's almost like. the moon you were doing you must. live.

in a world of big partners through a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past. it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now watching closely watching the hawks.

learn of welcome to worlds apart it took a quarter of a century since the collapse of the soviet union for the issue of inequality to resurface at the center of political and economic debates this time in the west some would even argue that it has already sparked a populist revolution culminating for now with the brics it was the election of donald trump well the western quest against inequality being more successful than the soviets one well to discuss that i'm now joined by jason hicks anthropologist at the university of london and author of the divide a brief guide to global inequality and its solutions dr he called it's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thanks for having me now you know i come from a country reach for seventy years had the run the massive experiment in the rabbit caving inequality and many people here in russia believe that this fixation on inequality ultimately made the soviet system. incompatible with reality to what

extent the opposite is true if you abandon any regulation and leave it all to the market forces can you have a harmonious well functioning society and i think it's quite clear that. you know extreme inequality has become a very serious problem around the world both within countries as well as between them and what's evidence is that it's creating not only economic crisis. but also political ones in the sense of richer people are able to control political outcomes what usually. poor people feel deeply disenfranchised and disaffected with with the dominant system so i think that it's quite important that we stick to address this problem as urgently as possible well i'm not trying to draw any direct comparisons between the soviet focus on inequality and the western one but i wonder if you see any historical continuity between the collapse of the soviet union and the triumph of neoliberal economics back in the early ninety's and such a sharp rise of inequality a quarter of

a century later yes i think it's quite clear that with the collapse of the soviet union in the late and the late it is. the there was a kind of ideological consensus around near liberal globalisation and that was carried on through the night tonight is and is still with us today and the consequence of of of that sort of the imposition of free market globalization has been a dramatic increase in inequality. since the eighty's and ninety's which is really rich kind of catastrophic historically unprecedented levels and so when we call for a reduction in inequality in western societies for example it doesn't need to be the kind of dramatic aggressive attempts to equalize that we might imagine the soviet union attempted rather was calling for the kind of reduction in equality that was accomplished in fact in western societies like the us and britain during the post-war years during the forty's and fifty's and sixty's before the onset of neoliberal globalization i think you would agree that inequality is often presented as a kind of a leftist preoccupation and the typical.
