to rub people already counted for just twelve euros fifty per month. is prime minister treason my battles to get. this key members of the cabinet including the man who helped negotiate the deal. 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. terrorist group claims to have joined forces with so-called moderate syrian rebels to fight the government in the country's last rebel stronghold. appalling case of

a russian man who could have his wife's hands with an axe in a premeditated rampage sees him sentenced to fourteen years in a high security jail. this is. british prime minister treason by standing by her draft briggs's deal by the series of resignations from the government 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 are some who are unhappy with those compromises but this deal delivers what people voted for in the national interest. and we can only secure it if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabin it yesterday. well words come after

a bruising day of cabinet resignations talks in a confidence vote and i three. by m.p.'s. we could choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it is all we can to do it. or 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 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 and. my road order food frozen so that we would leave the customs union.

the next two says of a walk by road. but she would move the integrity of the united kingdom a whole protocol so as otherwise my route on who froze so that we would be armed to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice also one hundred seventy four says otherwise quite chaotic times in the u.k. at the moment as theresa may not only tries to push through and save her bracks 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 why.

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 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 a 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 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 right 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 british politician and broadcaster george galloway thinks three's amazing days in power are numbered. 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 triggers 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 is dug in behind a brick deal which seems to be almost friendless this is a failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents well this breaks that deal look very much like an orphan to me today. in class d. classified documents reveal that the cia sought to experiment with so-called troops or miss part of a program called project medication involved drugging prisoners he hadn't succumbed to other and hence the 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 ca 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 fortin called for two years to get those documents and they gave the lowdown on the cia extraordinary rendition program details is my guess the. 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 progress 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 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 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 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 year is that they've 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 level civilian. possibly also military people involved in creating the wealthy 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. a terrorist group in syria is claiming to have you know need to drive all factions to fight the government in italy province becomes the russian foreign ministry accuse the so-called moderate rebels of helping extremists violate an internationally mediated buffer zone agreement in between two reports. syria's province is still an unbelievably complicated melting pot of anti assad militias from those known as syria's moderate rebels to internationally recognized terrorists like hayat to harir al shabab probably the mightiest group it's the former nusra front otherwise al qaeda in syria should ring

a bell. well a so-called spokesman for the armed wing of that same tough. has given an interview but there are many. who feels like. the man didn't come up with any kind of full list of who's involved but kept repeating everyone in the free lands that's how he refers to areas not controlled by damascus question if we are to believe the guy have the lines between terrorists and moderates been blurred completely and ad lib technically there's

a ceasefire between the government and the rebels and a buffer zone in the province right now it was brokered by turkey and russia and eventually backed by france and germany the buffer zone is meant to be free of any terrorists but if it is the terrorists that are now taking control of a joint command center for everyone how does the cease fire deal make sense anyway at least you're going to zation the program's guest works and fights for doesn't seem to have any intention of laying their guns down and. no one would you who he said have been. when i when he and then when you have a. total this video also deserves a quick look to the right at the interview or some t.v. stations used to love having been. on air people executed it's as simple as that

what can i do here and see a blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to the regime forces absolutely not ya know. i'm. not sure that we spent some. time sometimes you will hear someone say that they are part of al qaeda but what is their real affiliation to al qaeda other than some romantic notion to be honest with you he was one of those who were one sending out last messages from besieged aleppo before death from assad's bombs here in besieged aleppo. we may not be able to see anyone messages as regime forces push closer this might be close to if not be a last communication but his reports have since kept coming and he was even accused of links to al qaida something he has denied c.n.n. actually try to distance themselves from

a door karim and one of their more recent documentaries well november twenty. two interviews during a high profile figure of talk we're all shot. in syria. again patrick henningsen executive. editor of twenty first century wired dot com patrick terrorists in it live as we hear uniting with what we refer to as moderate rebels is this much of a change is significant. well it depends whether you take take their word for it or not if you take this on face value it is significant because it does change the sort of the framework if you will of the multilateral agreement or the cease fire that's in place right now if all militants are coming under the one unified command and if h.t.s.

. or al nusra whichever you want to call it this week if they are in charge then basically that means there are no more effectively no more moderate rebels in lives so the united states is calls a couple of months ago along with britain and france that you can't attack it live because others you know three million civilians there and it will be a huge a humanitarian disaster and so forth now you have effectively a consolidation of all the militants under one terrorist on bravo affectively so if if the west is going to intervene diplomatically if the u.s. is going to want to stop syria from retaking its own territory and its allies who are helping them do that then effectively they're taking the side of of a terrorist. confound what will this mean for that for the same as we understand that he's currently a ceasefire will it be able to survive. well the ceasefire has already been broken

already and also if you watch his interview with this spokesperson from h.t.s. he'll say quite clearly that they performed a raid deep into syrian territories talk about the north hama region and it's what's important is the target the attacked from the red russian guaranteed record center for reconciliation in north hama you know if they're attacking the reconciliation center that's very symbolic because that means that there is no. any sort of agreements or anything they had it talks any of these groups in saatchi or in geneva or in a standoff that's basically gone now so if they're attacking the the reconciliation center and i think that was a deliberate target that's basically to submerge and sort of take take down all and

any participation in any of these peace talks over the last two years basically how do you think this plays out do we see the government forces come in is it inevitable to see a battle for that. if effaced yes or this you new unified terrorist command as as you can call them is nothing wrong with saying that if they're doing incursions and. assassinations and so forth and check terrorist attacks in syria then the government will have to respond syrian arab army will have to respond and at some point. you know that you russia syria turkey have acted in good faith to try to mitigate what was a potentially horrible situation and terms of loss of life back in august and september so if these so-called rebels were terrorists aren't going to. agree or abide by any sort of multilateral cooperative agreement then that's all

bets are off and syria will really do exactly what it has said it's always going to do which is to retake every inch of syrian territory so that includes what the terrorists call free syria which is basically it liberate now that appreciate you coming on joining us this evening patrick henningsen my guest executive editor of twenty first century wired dot com thank you. ugly scenes in the sri lankan parliament when a brutal broke out between dozens of and pace. tempers boiled over following discussions over the controversial new prime minister

has been a political deadlock since last month when this president saying this former page and suspended part of it but expanded they believe the constitutional. man who cut off his wife's in a premeditated attack and then gloated about it has been sentenced to fourteen years in a high security jail in russia ortiz but in a coach of a house 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 nother story some of their friends say that they were in fact colostrum divorce margarita often complained that her husband had episodes of uncontrolled reaching jealousy 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 in cream and left empty choose in their place he was angry that i was

doing well at work apparently he even checked her phone messages i work or up during the night and asked who it was she said a driver from work but i didn't believe 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 along deaf ears and what her her. final brutal attack in december last year.

to help i wanted to put my bag in the book he said there was no space port of thought that it was taken by an axe 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 lost it for nearly nine hours the doctors managed to sew 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 churches is reaching a boiling point as representatives have reportedly arrived in kiev to decide whether to make the divorce official on the store enough war correspondent. it's then if i understand that the name for this process is. the word many people will be i think accustomed with just takes to what it means and why is it so important to keep in particular well i mean religious scandal surrounding churches in here of too many people might seem just some like obscure debate rooted in history or theological sort of term but actually goes

a lot deeper than that if we go back in history we can see the eastern orthodox church is made up of fifteen different separate churches now this is called as you mentioned in religious terms autocephaly that means he has its own independence self governance and jurisdiction now also for centuries the russian orthodox church has had jurisdiction over the key of orthodox church they've created a united congregation to call the ukrainian orthodox church officially this was the only recognized congregation of orthodoxy in ukraine. but there are political and religious factions in the country which have pushed for quite some time now for autonomy within the ukrainian church this is an idea also supported by president poroshenko who compared the creation of ukraine in the church to the ukraine joining the e.u. and even nato and i was important to take a listen. autocephaly is the most important event from the same serious as our aspiration to join the un 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. ease of him to say not quite so easy to do understand complicated situation in ukraine because apart from that official orthodox church in kiev there are also two other separate churches these are the key of patriarchates and the ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church their views broke away from the main church and ninety's when ukraine became independent and would not recognize the fish only up until very recently now what's happened is the patriarch of constantinople which is considered the most important church the head of all churches in orthodoxy has taken steps to recognize their independence and their autonomy from the king of church a decision that is very much angered the moscow patriarchate to say the least. 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. was the reaction of the russian orthodox church being what it's for going to total breakdown between the russian church and the concerned local church the patriarch at has rejected this decision they've said they've had authority over the king of the church since about the seventeenth century and they have said that they're triggering a schism with the church they're banning their followers from attending any sort of congregation celebration ceremony with the church of constantin ople quite harsh words coming here let's take a listen the russian orthodox church does not accept these decisions and will not follow them schism is schism and its leaders are the leaders of the schism and the church that accepted the schism excluded itself from the canonical field of decision has been made to drop to full communion with the constantinople

patriarchate we cannot be in communication with this church which is in schism. and for those people who just let go to church for the winter what does this mean for them a lot of confusion of course of followers on the ground in all countries it's seen by many this conflict as part of a wider conflict between russia and ukraine between east and west between you know a question of cultural heritage of religious history etc i mean one priest for example father mike tyson he's worked in west virginia for the last fifteen years he's even switched churches in the wake of the schism he's left his patron of that hopeful parish he switched the russian church to show solidarity for the church of ukraine but just a wider context i mean tensions have been high since about twenty fourteen there have been numerous attacks by ukrainian nationalists against churches who are viewed as moscow aligned they consider them as enemies of ukraine as traitors as aligned to the kremlin conflict may also flare up in relation to property control

the moscow patriarchate controls about twelve thousand churches across ukraine those two ukrainian churches who will perhaps be independent once they unite control about half that number so with ownership of churches with income revenue with followers seventy percent of ukraine being orthodox followers of course this carries a lot of symbolism of people and it's very likely to carry on causing a bit of confusion and division it complicated story thanks so much for helping to explain it to as many thanks daniel who can sit with me in the studio. and church history professor alexander dvorkin says ukraine's moves in his appeal will only make the country's divisions worse. worth all over you will never allow. it to exist or tell this new church will be the world was not the people you. and i still have my doubts that it will be fulfilled in the polluter so full of us very soon it will be discrimination of those believers of that would want to stay with the canonical church.
