that. the week's biggest stories from our d.c. maze ministerial the british prime minister to save her brags of her own government and a week of resignations recriminations second referendum all. but lost in peace to consider the national interest and get it back in the withdrawal agreement represents a huge and damaging five year deal that is already. in the. newly declassified documents reveal the cia experimented with

a so-called truth serum on prisoners who had resisted other enhanced interrogation techniques also ahead. is really war planes on leash. in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the enclave. live from moscow with the review of the big stories these past seven days this is the weekly r t international hello and welcome. it was a tense week for the british prime minister to resign may now she fall to weather a break that storm marked by cabinet resignations on growing calls for a vote of no confidence the party meltdown happened after she unveiled. plans on

weapon state threatening it would be heard or no deal. the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal only all no bricks it at all. well within hours of revealing her draft brags it planned to a cabinet ostensibly to secure its full backing to members or broccoli quit including the brakes it secretary and that was just the start and total seven ministers from trees amaze government resigned she also had to face a three hour mauling by m.p.'s. we can choose to leave we know to you we can risk no brakes it is all we can i i or all we can choose to unite in support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal the withdrawal agreements and the outline political declaration represents

a huge and damaging failure 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 one of the members opposite will put their hands up actually do support i prime minister and the senate proposal i want my right on a vote for the surge that we would leave the customs union. annex to says otherwise my right only one friend said that she would maintain the integrity of the united kingdom the whole protocol says otherwise my right honorable frode so that we would be out of the jurisdiction of the york and court of justice article one hundred seventy four says otherwise it's very hard to see her staying perhaps even beyond the weekend it's been a series of cabinet resignation and 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 bricks it deal which seems to be almost friendless they say that failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents well this breaks that deal look very much like an orphan to me today she's come up with this would fall agreement and nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the labor's big. i was under it 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 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. indeed there was plenty of drama in the run parliament during may's briggs's millstream in artie's online series in case you missed it partly by kotex on the alternative look at events at westminster not. they want something quick on this branded till i'm ready because i have the. chaos in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliament free democracy tries to get to grips with something to do with rights it.

now this time the thing to do with drugs it is very serious and we know this because important ministers to do with gregg's it which they should all be including someone in charge of gregg's it comes back to a display of confidence in himself. that it didn't. look to anyone even when they sleep with him is looking. at music used to be a mother brings a world. view but at. the moment it will be the backstop is that they should be a good group of children you know we've given the e.u. a backstop. for the sugar bowl over seven eight eight

seven. there are five hundred pages of something to do with brags that britain's elected representatives are all hearing inside this court that at least. political isn't it strange. that. these guys. have of course tending to know all about it in fact they're talking about what's happening in that we're not watching it it's fair to say that right now. everyone's talking about it without having read it a little bit like the bible. or in p. c z what's the backstop oh i'm not sure. what's the mike stone.

excuse me what's not an either. or what is it you don't really think of my job to ask the questions you don't. well in case you're wondering what the buck stop is it's to prevent a hard border between the republic of ireland northern ireland and if you'd like to live a little bit more r.t. dot. newly declassified documents reveal the cia program to develop a so-called truth serum it involved drugging prisoners who were able to withstand other 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 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. more now on the cia interrogation program and how it evolved. 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 a.z. 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 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 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 a lot of 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 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. last we also military people involved in creating the go and implementing seems to me a shift in that maybe people of 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. let's go back to monday now where israeli fighter jets struck a palestinian targets after militants in gaza launched rockets on mortar shells it appears to be the most intense escalation of hostilities in the region since twenty fourteen at least seven palestinians and want to really were killed many more were wounded. i. think.

is really defense minister of vic door lieberman quit on wed and stay in protest and a gallon a cease fire which he described as a capitulation to terror the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict the day before in which the israeli representative palestinian observer were at loggerheads. security council must only condemn hamas we condemn in the strongest possible terms this aggression by israel there is no such a thing both sides. but that's in the fires but result of the splot good which is immoral and illegal and it is inhumane and we will continue to take any measure measure necessary to put the people this round of violence was created as a result of a botched bizarrely military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza collision all of the victims

except one of this round of escalation where palestinian all of the victims were inside gaza and not outside of the gaza strip israel bombed a t.v. station it bombed residential buildings it leveled them to the ground those are acts that are acts of terror because they did terrorize two million palestinians the latest round of escalation started because of a botched israeli undercover operation three kilometers deep inside gaza that's how the escalation started with the israeli forces killing seven palestinians. now it seems the bromance between donald trump and money will mark crumley is heading this after the u.s. president blush starts on choose the honest french counterpart on twitter it has

been or could meeting in paris during commemorations marking this intent of the first world war on us this trumpet turned over his intentions to create a europe wide army. but it was germany in world wars one and two how did that work out for france. they was starting to learn german in paris before the us came along pay for nato no. funds makes it very hard for the us to send its winds into france and charges big tariffs not fat must change the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating in france twenty six percent and another employment rate of almost ten percent. make france great to get. one politician out but is it will be we need to use whom you can defend it so long

moreover without depending only on the us in a way that exhibits greater sovereignty. and we are. losing you. prefer. well as well as taunting the french president twitter donald trump also threaten de wine war he claimed america's wines are just as good a low that left a sour taste for many in france are really what choice did we have we had the but the tables to the test and paris. as donald trump thrashed out at france's president this week on twitter he also took a much what he saw as unfair trade practices when it comes to wine tariffs way sis

said the french who are very precious about that wine the don't said both countries made excellent wine but france made it very hard for the us to sell its wines to the country and charges big tariffs so that got us thinking who makes the better wine the us all fronts it's time for a battle of the new world wine this is the old and the judges it's the parisians a. new room full sail rolls. no. good to use resin the full sail where frisco. don't you know. the. whole thing coming. down i would say our pool room.

absolute most of it. we. don't live very much. and there are a. little bit. more. in the wake of. the verdict is in hand pushing clear parisians preferred the wine from the us all her well maybe for once the don't rule towns being vindicated as the one from his country seems to have trumped that from france so. on this occasion from paris we admit defeat but nevertheless we will always weighs a gloss and say so and say show that you can ski otty paris.

ukraine's far right freedom party has organized the children's summer camp although to some it might seem like more of a boot camp journalist from the associated press news agency visited the sites where youngsters live under strict rules and learn how to be soldiers a little to train co explains. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. oh you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes right my off. chance that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. was catching march. welcome to the temper of will summer camp and western ukraine it's pretty much a boot camp hidden in the forest the people who set it up are from the national

socialist svoboda or freedom party so who can get enrolled officially it's for teens but a.p. journalists who went there say they saw children as young as eight here they're being taught how to kill did just that this is you know they can still. see a limitless new coal then out of system but it used to know what i was doing he should post fun things when one of the only two of his mostly. but not only do they get to learn how to take down those who adults are calling russian invaders the kids are also taught to stand up to what the instructors see as degrading trends in the west . of the us this. should make you. walk if you will feel. so out of the. west that was.

what may seem as an ugly display of far right shaw the brainwashing appears to get full support from the local administration well earlier this year kiev splashed some of its bug. on youth projects the goal is to prop up what they call a national patriotic education some of these projects are run by the stream far right. even the nato backed atlantic council think tank tried to raise international wariness with this article and indeed we didn't write that amnesty international's pointing out the issues more than just critical ukraine is sinking into a kill sort of uncontrolled violence posed by radical groups and the total impunity

critically no one in the country can feel safe under these conditions and if you're wondering if any of this could actually spill beyond ukraine well just lately and f.b.i. agents criminal complaint said ukrainian neo nazis were believed to have trained white supremacists in america just wait till some of these youngsters grow up. just a little bit of. additional information to this in january ukraine passed a law recognizing russia as an aggressor state and then last week he have and again the ukrainian prime minister minister said his country is trying to build a strong democracy whereas the kremlin supports populist nationalist movements. retail giant amazon has picked the location for its second after

a growing it's original home in seattle it's now setting up shop over on the east coast with a base that between new york and arlington in the state of virginia the competition was tough with several cities vying to be amazon's new home and everything that comes with that but not everyone was keen to see the firm pitch up in their city was killed please. a competition of sorts began with cities across the country offering tax incentives and making cringing videos in the hopes of luring them in how the proud amazon customer. amazon. amazon or amazon your smart sexy city that thinks outside the box. please join us. where should amazon locate h q two in fiscal texas well in the plot twist worthy of a bad television show amazon picks two big winners not just one the new offices will be in arlington virginia just across the river from washington d.c.

think there are other cities that can use the extra jobs more if they're moving to new work they do they're the ones that do the jobs i'm not sure what effect it would have on small businesses but i'm sure they'll try to print up the extra burden everything's already closed without them so it will be a lot more let's not forget that new york state governor andrew cuomo. honest to legally change his name if it would convince amazon to move in. two. and a time one talk of the low wages income inequality in money and politics is everywhere nothing is more reassuring to a frustrated public than seeing their elected officials grovel and beg before huge multinational corporations. artsy new york braving raging seas for a months without a home comfort in sight a navy life is not an easy one so how will the latest crop of russian cadets and barking on their first big voyage her we follow their adventures next in on deck

rejected. so when you want to be president. more somehow i want to. let you go right to be for us that's what i'm up for three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water using my. last question. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies criminal had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company growing untold develops in the denied a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she said is just cut short arms are many solidified victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only

want the money i want the revenge. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the small place the fall for such luck. any interrogation. he. promised. to put people. make the money make them want to give and take no for an answer. on accountability and police. misconduct that has nothing to do with.
