interrogation techniques tell you about that plus two. israeli warplanes unleashed massive air strikes on gaza a week in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the only place. and welcome assault international and surrounded the big stories of the last seven days a week first that was a tense week for british prime minister treason may was she fought to weather the storm by cabinet resignations and growing calls for a vote of no confidence the party meltdown happened after she unveiled her e.u. divorce draft plans on wednesday threatening it would be a deal or no deal. the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal all the all no bricks it at all well within hours of revealing her draft plan

to cabinet to stand simply to secure its full backing to members abruptly quit including the brics it secretary but that was just the start in total seven members have to reserve may's government resigned she also to face the morning by m.p.'s to . does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate practic and betrayed. you are not delivering the brakes people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. i'm merely owns of voters across the country we can choose to leave with no deal we can risk no bricks it at all or we can choose. i. or or we can
6:03 am
choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal prime minister comes before us today trying to sell us a deal that is already dead in the water the reason why the people of this country are safe and up he's because they've been made so many promises none of which have been delivered on because they calm to be delivered to 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 and it's in the national interest and we can only secure it if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabinet yesterday it's very hard to see her staying perhaps even beyond the weekend it's been a series of cabinet resignation the government minister resignations parliamentary private secretary resignations even the vice chairman of the conservative party
6:04 am
itself has resigned saw it's very hard to see how someone who is dug in behind a bricks deal which seems to be almost friendless there say that failure is an orphan and sick. as a thousand parents. deal look very much like an orphan to me today she's come up with this withdrawal agreement that nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the reminders who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers because we don't really leave 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 has to come for the european parliament. 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 are saying on twitter people tearing up their cards and taking photographs this deal doesn't actually satisfy any body so endless drama in and around parliament this week jury
6:05 am
made. the. series in case you missed it we took an alternative look at events at westminster. there was nothing quite. really cause i have. chaos in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliamentary democracy trying to get. something to do with. now this time the thing to do with it is very serious and we know this because important to do with that. sure including the one in charge of gregg's it was actually. confident in himself.
6:06 am
anyone familiar with. anything that is. but you look at. the moment you leave the backstop is. basically we could. go given the e.u. our backstop. seven eight eight seven. there are five hundred pages of something to do with brags that that person elected representatives are hearing inside this call to be. well let's put it that. these guys them easier of course tend to know all about it in fact
6:07 am
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 impedes. c.z. once the facts stop the bomb not at all it's already a once the mike stone. excuse me what's an old night and. what is it you don't you think it is my job to ask the questions. what case you wonder what the buck stop is is to prevent a border between the republicans in the northern ireland. you need to classify documents reveal the cia program to develop a so-called truth serum that involved drugging prisoners who are able to withstand
6:08 am
other interrogation techniques. project medication was the 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. more of the cia interrogation program and how it evolved. 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
6:09 am
putting through hell resisted grew used to it enhanced interrogation techniques were begun within six hours these progressed from attention slaps and wool into 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 problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved mission against medical
6:10 am
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
6:11 am
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 or 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.
6:12 am
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 general to get started now the way. it seems the bromance between donald trump and emanuel mccraw was hitting the skids after the us president lashed out at his french counterpart on twitter on choose day they don't all quit meeting in paris during commemorations marking the same tenor of the first world war armistice from turned on micron over his intentions to create a europe wide army. but it was germany and world was one and two how did that work out for france. they were starting to learn german paris before the us came along pay for nato with no.
6:13 am
funds makes it very hard for the us to sell its wines 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 an unemployment rate of almost ten percent. make france great to get. one petition out but is it what we need a europe can defend itself along moreover without depending only on the us in a way that exhibits greater sovereignty. and we'll. look at the. free food.
6:14 am
and as well as talking to the french president on twitter donald trump also threaten the wine war he claimed america's wines are just as good as in bordeaux and the rest although that left a sour taste in many in france so we put the temples to the test in paris. the course of. the road for sale. they're all we've got to get through to do it because it's still worth. it if you believe. in the. little for the long haul think of it. i would say the apple group in a group dot com would be. good but the other big liberal attitude you know some of it. because you don't get very much to tell it is difficult.
6:15 am
and i think. a little bit low. in the week. before the book in the world except with. some of the decreasing candidates pushing clear parisians preferred the whining from the us all her well maybe for once the donald has been vindicated as the wind 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 deep r.t. paris yet she is no more of this week stories coming up an exchange of fire between israel and militants in gaza under the strug from both sides. and ukraine's far right parties summer camp with children are taught to kill will tell you right
6:16 am
after this break. if you. didn't this is the phrase that has become
6:17 am
a mantra for many people as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them always the story we tell ourselves. changes. the israeli fighter jets struck palestinian targets after militants in gaza launched rockets and mortar shells it appears to be the most intense escalation of hostilities in the region since twenty fourteen at least seven palestinians one israeli were killed many more were wounded.
6:18 am
i. was along with this israeli defense minister of a door labeling quit wednesday in protest of the gaza ceasefire which he described as a capitulation to tara the un security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict the day before in which the israeli representative and the palestinian observer were at loggerheads. security council must only condemn hamas but 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 result of this blockade which is immoral and illegal and inhumane and we will continue to take any measures new measures necessary to protect our people this round of violence was
6:19 am
created as a result of a botched. does that are really military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza collation 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 palestinian. ukraine's far right freedom parties organized to children some
6:20 am
accompany the to some it might look more like a boot camp journalists from the associated press news agency visited the site where youngsters live under strict rules and learn how to be ready this in a patrol to report. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. that. both of you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes right by our. 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
6:21 am
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 you do this you know they can still live there it seems limitless new coal then out of system but it used to know what i was doing he should post pickle fun things when one of manila's i'm only two of his more. 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. a lesson is. you should make use of. the walk if you will feel. so out of the. west that was.
6:22 am
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 practically no one in the country can feel safe under these conditions and if
6:23 am
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. a footnote to this in january ukraine passed a law recognizing russia as a quote aggressive state last week the ukrainian vice prime minister said his country is trying to build a strong democracy whereas the kremlin he said supports populist nationalist movements journalist donald had some to say about that he's been monitoring the coverage of ukraine conflict since it erupted four years ago he believes we may have reached a turning point now. i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west i mean associated press have gone in there obviously a syndication agency so obviously that you know their copy then has to be reported
6:24 am
in other mediums good i'm pleasantly surprised that you know outfits like the washington post notably have covered it although some of the usual suspects you know the guardian and outlets i doubt if ignored the story once again but that's not surprising but it's good that for the first time you know. many readers in western countries are finally learning something about what's really going on in western ukraine particular with these nationalist groups the way things work in the west is that you need pressure groups you know think tanks to kind of get on these bandwagons and kind of you know almost force the agenda and what's very interesting is here we've got children you know school children minors that are being trained to hate being trained to kill as being trained to fight and where is amnesty international where is human rights watch i mean they're not interested i mean where is the american embassy what it's supposed moral leadership you know lashing out against this where the british embassy and some of the questions we are some of the stories we covered in the snapshot of the big news stories of the last seven days here were not international moscow this sunday's kevin i would say thanks for watching us enjoy the rest of the week.
6:25 am
it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies criminal had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ash was a german company develops a little mind a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to
6:26 am
have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything. yeah she said is just cut short arms many solidified victims i have to this day. received compensation they never apologized for the suffering. not only want the money i want the revenge. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that in the spot the wishful look at birch. had any interest geisha out there what you'll see is promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most uncomfortable makes them want to get out and don't take no for an answer only accept their denials she said therefore which. sat on the statement that i would be home by the next day there's
6:27 am
a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime. six guys are financial survival. when customers go by to reduce the price. will reduce allow or. that's undercutting now what's good for market it's not good for the global economy. but on the welcome to the party pics or it didn't happen that's phrase has long the
6:28 am
confines of that forms become alive dictum for a vast areas people young and old housewives to prime ministers as more and more people participate in visualising the world at. around them how is that changing the story we tell ourselves about ourselves to discuss that i'm now joined by eleven men the richer professor of computer science in the city university of new york tomorrow it's good to talk to thank you very much for your time because so much when you were into big data long before it became a household name and uses specifically to analyze contemporary culture which i think is far more visualised and far more egalitarian and that in any other time in human history when anyone with a mobile for the smartphone can contribute how does it change the overall discourse . proposed for you in charge. when there had so many people creation culture it was actually before social media
6:29 am
took off and what i'm interested in used to expose was great to reach you it was often this to assume with people people who create if i feel artist special artist living in places like most who believe in new york in my face is as red right millions of creative people often as people i'm a creature from maybe the very small places in siberia even china in bolivia everywhere so how do we make it visible how they're being with creativity we're products religion ations the surface how do you make this new cultural world visible now from what i understand for a very long time human visual culture was or at least the visible part of it was defined primarily by the talent and by the artist as you said rather than the masses and the direction was. essentially turning their original into the mainstream is that still the case so there are multiple processes going on right if you look at but all of artificial intelligence for example in contemporary digital
6:30 am
culture search engines recommendation systems you know which is building became reality for those it's very easy to assume with this is going to lead to less cultural diversity but also mechanisms which perhaps can make it more they were resample spotify rights were largest music's the services as it is the study really showed with every month the number of different music artists were wishes and is listening to is increasing by a few percent right so so it's possible with which knowledge is going to make a world more diverse illis there were some same time. that's an interesting and somewhat paradoxical statement but if you took the most popular apps i assume that they're still playing by the numbers rather than the quality of the contents of don't you think about focus on the numbers the numbers of likes the number of let's say promotions.
