i. wish. to get them peace to back. you members of a cabinet including the money have to go shoot the deal quit. to consider the national interest and get it back in the withdrawal agreement represents a huge and damaging five year deal that is already dead in the water. in the declassified documents reveal the cia sought to experiment with the so-called troops prisoners resisted other interrogation.

around the world are stepping agency prepares to inspect. russia tries to rebuild its shattered sporting reputation. the appalling case of a russian man who cuts his wife off with an axe in a premeditated rampage that sees him sentenced to fourteen years in a high security jail. welcome this is all to international. in just the last couple of hours british prime minister to resign may said she believes with every fiber of her being that brags that deal is the right course for the u.k. she again urged members of parliament to unite and get behind it. yes difficult and sometimes uncomfortable decisions have had to be made i understand fully that there is some who are unhappy with those compromises but this deal delivers what people

voted for and it is in the national interest and we can only secure it if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabinet yesterday. words come after a bruising day of cabinet resignations talk of a no confidence vote and a three are morning in parliament by m.p.'s. we could choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it is 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 own political career a should represent a huge and damaging failure 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 if they actually do support the prime minister and the senate proposal. on my road or who for whom serve what we would leave the customs union. the next two says of a walk to my right over who said that she would move the integrity of the united kingdom the whole protocol so as all the was my right all who froze so that we would be armed 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 is 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. well this one is pretty self-explanatory as you can see there are 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 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 of 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 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 tries to do her best at this point to try to keep this afloat ship. declassified documents reveal the cia sought to experiment with a so-called truth serum that was part of a program called project medication this involved drugging prisoners who had not succumb to other 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 fourteen court for two years to obtain the documents

and they gave the lowdown on the cia's extraordinary rendition program with details is artie's my guess the. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic or that they 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 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 other problems here journalists activists and juice they kept prime

kept sniffing around digging up details and publicizing everything 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. 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 you. must be also military people involved in creating the belt 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 even medically with these people it is the equivalent of torture it isn't just is dehumanizing. well anti doping agency water is set to visit a laboratory in moscow later this month it's part of russia's efforts to rebuild its reputation in the wake of the doping scandal that rocked world sport automate the announcement at the meeting in azerbaijan sisk he was there in sense of this report from the capital back. i know from the meeting that i wonder delegation would visit russia to meet this year's. visit on the twenty. people. we will complete dish work well before the age of thirty first december twenty eighth which usually. could be team meeting and ship them the water

foundation board met in baku a genuine firestorm among its ranks with this flying high from the other side of the atlantic the u.s. 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 assad has not conditional unconditional reinstatement in september now we know that there was a delegation will travel to moscow on november twenty eighth so i asked the president of water so craig reedy aware that he felt this was the end of the saga does this new developments with. the water people going to moscow on the women twenty eighth means that all the concerns regarding this cooperation between the russian authorities and water can be put to rest will resolve the situation with

the russian of. and you do it being asian she is complying subject to the condition of the little ones like conditions which beautified and we carry on as normal 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 while i have no reason not to share his confidence i mean the russian authorities told us that they would do it back in september so we. i trust that they will keep their promises before the thirty first of december 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 water's annual budget and i also asked the president of whether he felt there was any kind of confrontation with their u.s. colleagues is there a conflict of any kind with the u.s. anti-doping agency and u.k. and i'd open agency following the summit at the white house a few weeks ago i think it would be future she. indicated it was pretty easily. it was limited to people that particular. decision and she shows now we also have a confirmation from the russian ministry official from the minister himself that russia indeed granted the access to moscow aboard stories and obviously we'll be following 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. back to our top story now

the continuing saga of brigs it in the u.k. and the prime minister's fight not just for her draft deal but also her political future george galloway british politician author and broadcaster joins on the line now very good evening to you george you seem to resume a living battling it out she says she's not going anywhere though. do you think she will stay. it's very hard to see her staying perhaps even beyond the weekend because at least forty eight conservative m.p.'s have i understand. of no confidence in her which trigger us a no confidence debate and then vote and even if she won it as mrs that should did i remind you if a sufficiently large minority votes that they have no confidence in her i would have thought her goose was cooked it's been a series of cabinet resignations government minister resignations parliamentary

private secretary of resignations even the vice chairman of the conservative party itself has resigned saw it's very hard to see how someone who has dug in behind a brick deal which seems to be almost friendless this is the failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents well this breaks that deal look very much like an orphan to me today last night in downing street the prime minister said it's her deal or no deal or no brags it now it was very surprising to hear use that phrase no brags that it must have been absolutely neck to to the remain as a do you think it was a scare tactic trying to rally the support of the brig's it is. yes but no breaks it isn't in her gift article fifty was triggered long ago it runs out in march we are out of the e.u. at the end of march whether anybody likes it or not it would take

a majority for some of our course of action which there isn't a majority for there's not a majority for a second referendum there is not a majority of four remaining in the e.u. and so legally the clock is ticking but it was intended to stiffen the ranks of conservative m.p.'s but the signs are singularly failed to do that just after the brig's if somebody said to me you know this will never happen that the law for something that basically a for joy as i call it now fudge it you think we are heading in that direction no i think the european union is hamstrung in any fudge it proposals that might have because part of their tactic is to make leaving the european union such a god awful process that no one else will want to do it because if there was a referendum like course in many you countries the vote would be to leave the e.u.

so this if you'll pardon my french is for the discourse. for the discouragement of the others and so they can't really offer anybody atoll a much better deal than after two long years they've offered her and it seems like everybody sense blood in the water people looking for the position of prime minister think this is their chance also the labor party say we're we need a general election is the only way to sort things out do you think they will get their way. i don't know if they will but they should because it's quite clear that this government on this the more store barraging issue in british politics has filled it's filled to find friends for the strategy that it's followed and for the deal that it has concluded and therefore the british people deserve an hour and titled to a general election to pick a new government which would have the confidence of the country and the strength

the orthogonal to to make a deal with the e.u. this government has neither of those things but it's much harder to get a general election than it was when you left britain no under the fixed term parliaments act you need a two thirds majority to call an early general election and on the principle that turkey's seldom vote for an early christmas you might think that's quite a difficult bar. you've got a choice phrase for us and i greatly appreciate that many thanks good to speak to you george george galloway british politician author and broadcast. next the gruesome story of a man who cut off his wife's hands in a premeditated attack and gloated about it well he's been sentenced to fourteen years in a high security jail in russia. as a story. from this picture you'd think margaret and maitreya lived in blissful

happiness they've been together for five years and even had two young sons but behind the smiles slate and mother's story some of their friends say that they were in fact colostrum divorce margarita often complained that her husband had episodes of uncontrolled roy. he was enraged that i was getting my nails done he'd think i was cheating on him if my bra in my pants matched he emptied out all my shampoos and creams and left empty choose in their place he was angry that i was doing well at work apparently he even checked her whole phone messages i woke up during the night and asked who it was she said to drive in from work but i didn't believe her i was on edge his suspicions fueled his anger so he forced her into the car drove her out into a forest threatened her and demanded she had me to cheating on him that time he let her go she fled to the police but was told that there were not enough grounds to

open a case against him her pleas for help fell on deaf ears and and with her husband's final brutal attack in december last year. volunteered to help i wanted to put my bag in the book but he said there was no space who would have thought that it was taken by next and bandages he played his part like a real actor silently he closed the door and drove off not to work but to the forest.

as we drove to the hospital he shouted what an adrenaline rush worst of all i was still conscious apparently my body gave the signal to keep holding on microsurgery lasted for nearly nine hours the doctors managed to sell back one hand but the other was so badly damaged in the brutal attack during which margarito remained conscious that it was impossible to save this case sent shock waves across the country and attracted so much needed attention to the problem of domestic violence mitri was sentenced to fourteen years in prison while the officer who refused to open a case against him when margarita first went to the police is under investigation for dereliction of duty. the split between ukrainian and russian orthodox church is reaching boiling point as representatives reportedly

arrive in kiev to decide whether to make the divorce notice autocephaly official if you want autocephaly is likely of course from the time hawkins is in the studio tells more about the story of what is it and why is it such an important thing for kiev in particular well to many religious scandals in ukraine surrounding churches might seem like an irrelevant some theological debate rooted in history but actually it's quite a bit more than that we need to understand the basics for you before we go any further the eastern orthodox church has fifteen separate churches these are independent churches religious language that is called autocephaly that means effectively the churches are self-governing. and have independence from any sort of head patriarch now the russian orthodox church has for many years had jurisdiction over here they've had a joint church called the ukrainian all through moscow patriarchate and that's the only officially recognized orthodox church in ukraine but there are factions in the country political. religious have long been pushing for an independent ukrainian

shirts indeed president of petro poroshenko of ukraine has been a supporter of that stating this is as important to the country as joining the e.u. and nato. certainly is the most important event from the same serious as our aspiration to join the u.n. nato the association agreement a visa free regime with the e.u. withdrawal from the c.i.s. rejection of the deceptive treaty and friendship with russia etc all this is the basis of our own way of development development of ukraine to talk about divorces so there's going to be a mess you want a simple situation you guys were i mean apart from this main church which is recognized in ukraine there are also two other churches now these broke away from the main search in the ninety's when ukraine go to its independence that is the key of patriarchate on the ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church these are not officially recognized the hadn't been rather until recently and that is when the patriarch of constantinople who is considered the most important church in the in

the orthodox faith decided to take steps to grant them independence from moscow that's a very much angered the moscow patriarchate the process of granting autocephaly is artificial imposed from outside does not reflect internal ecclesiastical necessity will not bring real church unity will deepen division and intensify conflicts among the people of ukraine under these conditions the participation of the pesky pate clergy and laity of the you see in these process is is considered impossible. how is the russian orthodox church reacted list as a whole breakdown in relations i mean the moscow patriarch has rejected this decision they've said they've controlled the key of the church since about the seventeenth century they will not accept this decision and indeed this is actually triggered a schism within the church the moscow paid truck has even banned orthodox followers from participating in any ceremonies at these other churches so this is very much a messy divorce this is what they had to say. look the church does not accept these

decisions and will not follow them gives them is give them and its leaders are the leaders of the schism and the church that accepted the schism excluded itself from the canonical field of vision has been made to grow up to full communion with the constant and local patriarchate we cannot be in communication with this church which is in schism. people who just want to go to church the other thing what does this mean for me yeah exactly i mean these are debates at the highest levels of church between patriarchs and bishops etc on the ground though i mean this is seen as part of a wider conflict between russia and ukraine east versus west cultural heritage and history etc and this is seen as another cause for division in a country which is already deeply divided indeed tensions have been rising since twenty fourteen there have been dozens of attacks in ukraine by nationalist supporters on churches that are aligned with moscow they see them as enemies of ukraine or stooges of the kremlin even conflict also may flare up over simple things like property line church owns around twelve thousand parishes in the

country those two ukrainian churches owed about half that number so with ownership of churches with revenue streams with followers involved this is an issue which could very much affect millions of followers always an orthodoxy throughout eastern europe ok many things being as right up today daniel hawkins with me. thanks to you guys i was staying with her an artsy told me off and i'll have latest updates. of both of the tricks of the sleazeball. i built for sunday and this is their.

their. mark. hello and 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 debate this time in the west some would even argue that it has already sparked a populist revolution culminating for now with the bracks it was the election of donald trump will the western quest against inequality be more successful than the soviets one well to discuss that i'm now joined by jason anthropologist at the university of london and author of the divide a brief guide to global inequality and his solutions dr he goes.
