5:02 pm
after a bruising day of cabinet resignations letters of no confidence and a three hour morning in parliament by a pace. we could choose to leave with no deal we could risk no bricks 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 agreements and the political courage represents 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 a deal that is already dead in the water i'm almost tempted to ask if the members opposite will put their hands up if they actually do support the prime minister and the senate proposal and. my road order food fruit serves what we would leave the

customs union. the next two over was to my right over the frozen so that she would move the interpreter of the united kingdom the whole protocol says otherwise my right order 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 save her brags a deal but also essentially says 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 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
5:04 pm
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 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
5:05 pm
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
5:06 pm
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 a broker george galloway things to even make will be removed from power in a matter of days. 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 put in a letter 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 of private secretary resignations even the vice chairman of the conservative party
5:07 pm
itself has resigned saw it's very hard to see how someone who is dug in behind grex it deal which seems to be almost friendless this is that failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents world this breaks that deal look very much like an orphan to me today. newly declassified documents reveal that the cia sought to experiment with a so-called truths that are most part of a program called project medication this involves drugging prisoners who had not succumbed to other enhanced interrogation techniques. project medication was have previously undisclosed element of this program in which in addition to the physical and psychological torture that ca 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
5:08 pm
use against people's will to inject them with and make them talk the american civil liberties union fourteen court fifteen years to obtain the documents and they gave the lowdown on the cia's extraordinary rendition program with more details is my guess the if. 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 wool into confinement in both large about five hours and small about one hour book says
5:09 pm
and finally to the wall 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 problem was no problem number. three seriously legal 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
5:10 pm
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
5:11 pm
number five all the 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 voted 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
5:12 pm
you think they said what do you think about waterboarding i said i like it a lot that don't think it's tough enough. is enough to keep in mind that we're talking about. a forty four country 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 levels of the you. must be also military people involved in creating developing and implementing seems to me a shift in that maybe people have 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 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 united rival factions to fight the government in the province comes as the russian foreign ministry accuses so-called moderate rebels of hoping extremists violate an internationally mediated buffer zone agreement europe are trying to explains. 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. al shabab probably the mightiest

5:15 pm
and moderates been blurred completely an adlib 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 programs guest works and fights for doesn't seem to have any intention of laying their guns down. and who would you who he said i've been. well i wene and then we. also. learned of home. total this video also deserves a quick look to the right at the interviewer some t.v.

stations used to love having kareem 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 regime forces absolutely not i know some of them. i'm. not going to spend 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 any more 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 interviewing a high profile figure of tough we're all shot aka. al-qaeda in syria. just patrik having some believes that by supporting moderate rebel groups western powers are effectively hoping terrorists. now you have effectively a consolidation of all the militants under one terrorist umbrella effectively so if the west is going to intervene diplomatically if the us is going to want to stop syria from retaking its own territory and its allies who are helping to do that then effectively they're taking the side of of a terrorist. concept officially according to h.g.'s the l

5:23 pm
the seventeenth century it's the only officially recognized congregation of water in ukraine on the other hand though there have been political and religious factions of the country which a very long time pushed for independence ukrainian orthodox church to be established and the president of ukraine petro poroshenko has been a supporter of this he's employed at the. creation of this church is just as important to ukraine's independence and rebirth as joining the e.u. or nato 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 so if this is going to happen it's going to come easily it's quite a complicated situation in ukraine is that yes there's more than one of the book shirts in ukraine apart from the main one recognized officially as part of the
5:24 pm
moscow patriarchate there are also two other churches now they broke away in the early ninety's when ukraine got its independence from the u.s.s.r. this is the key of patriarchates and ukrainian autocephalous church these claim independence but they have never been recognized officially as official corrugations that's until very recently when the patriarch of constantinople he made moves to give them that autonomy independence as well this is very much angered the moscow patriarch 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 pait clergy and laity of the you see in these process is is considered impossible and how is the russian orthodox church reacted well this is triggered a total breakdown in relations the moscow patriarchate has rejected this decision
5:25 pm
they've stated that they have had all thought over the key of corrugation since the seventeenth century and they've even called the schism triggered a schism with constantinople by ending their followers from attending any ceremonies any communions with this church who they have now officially split with the russian orthodox church does not accept the decision. not follow them schism is give them and its leaders are the leaders of the schism and the church that accepted this gives me excluded itself from the canonical field of decision has been made to drop to full communion with the constantinople patriarchy we cannot be in communication with this church which is in schism what about the everyday church goers were they in any way be affected or i think it's going to cause a lot of confusion and division i mean this is seen as a wider context as part of that conflict between russia and ukraine east and west those debates over independence and cultural heritage one priest father mike tyson who's worked in west virginia for fifteen years has even switched churches in the
5:26 pm
wake of the schism he was he's left his patriarch of constantinople parish switching to a russian church he says this is supporting being in solidarity with the ukrainian orthodox church and now in the bigger picture here tensions have been rising since about twenty fourteen there have been dozens of attacks since then by ukrainian nationalists on orthodox churches aligned with moscow they view them as enemies of ukraine as effectively tools of the kremlin in terms of church property there may be conflicts as well the moscow aligned church owns around twelve thousand parishes in ukraine those two other ukrainian churches which may soon unite control about half that number so in terms of ownership of churches in terms of income revenue in terms of where followers are going to go and practice their faith this is an issue that's not going to go away and is likely to certainly cause some more confusion division in a country already deeply divided. church history professor alexander dawkins says ukraine's moves will only make countries divisions worse. operator of worth all of
