hands of interrogation techniques brought to the story and. israeli warplanes unleashed massive air strikes on gaza in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the clay. welcomes his art international it's a roundup of the big stories of the last seven days with me kevin out in the hot seat tonight than first off what a tense week it was for the british prime minister trees of may she fought to weather huge storm marked 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 with a stark ultimatum the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal.

orly or no bricks it at all. within hours of her revealing the draft plan to cabinet a stance or be she hoped to secure its full backing to members abruptly quit including the bricks it secretary himself but i'll just start in total seven members of trees amaze government resigned shows had ben to face a three hour morning by m.p.'s does the prime minister's still intend to vote a false choice to parliament between her botched jail or no jail and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate the trade. you are not delivering the brakes people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. was merely owns of voters across the country we can choose to leave with no deal we can risk no breaks it all or we can say.

i was. for or we can 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 so fed up is because they've been made so many promises none of which have been delivered on because they koans be delivered to them 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 been a series of cabinet resignation the government minister resignations and parliamentary private secretary 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 great deal which seems to be almost friendless this is a failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents world this deal look very much like an orphan to me today she's come up with this withdrawal agreement and nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as you don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers because under it we don't really leave so no one's going to be happy about this i don't believe she can get it through parliament and of course it also has to come for 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 are seen on twitter people tearing up their cards and taking photographs so this deal doesn't actually satisfy any body

more of the say in the endless drama in a row in parliament this last week during may's breaks it most true in ati's online series in case you missed it by the way polly boy could takes an alternative look at what's going on behind the scenes there in westminster. they want something quick on this deal i'm ready because i have a. chaos in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliament three democracy tries to get to grips with something to do with rights it. now this time the thing to do with russia is 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 was practically a display of confidence in himself. that it.

wasn't if you. look at anyone leave the ministry with a. living. will need to get used to dream up the courage to say. you've got a good. plan the moment you leave the backstop is. basically we could do you need to go 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 that person elected representatives are hearing inside this whole thing to please. let it play out 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 impeach. c.z. once the facts start oh i'm not. sorry. the mike stone. excuse me was not an either. or does it you can only really think of my job to ask the questions if you don't. go poly case you want to the course and you want a quick reminder the buck stops often talked about is to prevent the hard border between the republic of our lives in northern ireland you read much more about it and unravel the confusion about. the stories you brought this last week you need to classified documents to reveal the cia program to develop

a so-called truth serum and involve drugging prisoners who are able to withstand other interrogation techniques project medication was 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 a senior correspondent more goes to war on the sin terror gratian program from the cia and how it all of volved. 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 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 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 other 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 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 don't think it's tough but now. it seems the bromance between donald trump emanuel mccraw is hitting the skids after the u.s. president lashed out at his french counterpart on twitter and choose day that the role could meeting in paris during commemorations marking this and tina of the first world war armistice 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 in paris before the us came along pay for nato one. punch makes it very hard to send its winds into france and charges big tariffs not the fact that must change but the problem is that the manual suffers from a very low approval rate it's twenty six percent and unemployment rate of almost ten percent. makes france great to get. to petition our police will be we need to use who can defend its little world without depending only on the us you will get exhibits greater suffering. and. to.

preclude. another blow to the own tongue as well as told the french president on twitter donald trump also threatened why in war now he claimed america's ones just as good as in bordeaux and the rest he said that left a nasty sour taste in many of france we put the tipples literally to the test in paris to get the a.m.b. of it. composer. and the road forces are all through the ball now that we have to move forward to feel good the constant planting the skill. if you don't. really pull together the whole thing coming. and going i would say our full group. back on the.

group that calls for accountability the ability to do most of it look where. it is you don't get very much technology. and i think. that's a little bit low. in the wake of. the folks in the field but the banker who said with. some of the verdict is in canada is pushing clear parisians preferred the wine from the u.s. all her well maybe for once the dawn world has been vindicated as the wine 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. otty paris with arguably the best

job of the week i think coming up more the stories we brought you in the weekly over the last seven days exchange of fire really kicked off to israel of militants in gaza hundreds of strikes from both sides and also ukraine's far right parties some with children are taught to kill his cup of the stories after the break. this manufactured consensus of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round. the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

i don't think the democrats are much closer to negotiate with the republicans or president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by our internal our turtle bickering in affairs. i get all mondays ready fighter jets struck palestinian targets after militants in gaza last rockets and mortar shells it appears to be the most intense escalation of hostilities in the region says twenty forty at least seven palestinians and one israeli were killed many more wounded.

i. on the political side of things mean time running in parallel to that is really defense minister lieberman quit wednesday in protest of a gaza ceasefire which he described as a capitulation to terror the un security council also held an emergency meeting on the conflict a day before in which the israeli representative on the other side the palestinian observer. 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 attacks and fire as a result of this blockade which is immoral and illegal and it is inhumane and we will continue to take any measures new measures necessary to protect our people that this round of violence was 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 start. 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. ukraine's far right freedom party has organized a children's summer camp although to some it might look like a boot camp germans from the associated press news agency visited said site where youngsters live under strict rules and learn how to be combat ready as a trunk or so i'm finding out. 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 you do this you know they really can still live. new coal then their own system but it used to know what i was. supposed to call fun things when one of them only a few 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. feel that what you will feel. it was. your should have but. 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 by. 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 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. to this story a bit of context for you in january ukraine passed a law recognizing russia as a quote aggressor state last week the ukrainian vice prime minister said his country's trying to build a strong democracy whereas he went on to say the kremlin supports populist

nationalist movements which put journalists in the week has been monitoring this whole coverage of the ukraine conflict since it erupted four years ago things may be just may be a turning points been reached i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west the main associated press have gone in there obviously a syndication agency so obviously that you know their copy then has to be reported in other mediums 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 is. it's good that for the first time you know many readers and 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 schoolchildren minors 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 now says not show us some of the big stories as covered by us over the last seven days where we want to ask questions while here in moscow this sunday is kevin i would love with you saying thank you for watching us and enjoy what's left of the week.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i've been saying the numbers mean some. us of a one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be called rich point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar

a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one business show you can afford to miss the one and only. blushes and mention the cheek a total morsel of each ticket to the host or a team you'll be set it's not that it's insulting shots that always sting against. them. beautiful to go see it myself included. a little bit i was caught but i'm counting that in the scheme to show. on. t.v. shall use. the end of

a spell to the south korean his just tell them not to eat some corn summed up all. the money i took of the british mr west demolition of the disco. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the spot . the birch if you had any interest geisha out there what bill c. 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 comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said their forwards are already set on the statement that i will be home by that time the next day there's

a culture on the countability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all their crime. so i don't walk into. my own body i have a body. found in south and the public line when he became in this province a spokesman for the handicapped children. not. least. over the years alison would make appearances on telephones across the country. not better than other people. because i'm not

a handicapped person. or people get it wrong. they look at alvin lonnie thank god it's tremendous how you can do things with the. well i suppose if you look at your feet it's tremendous but these are my these are my hands too and i have been doing it forever these are not tremendous feet is the only thing i've got so when i pick up a cup and i have a drink you know. wow what a thrill. i do think. i thought. i thought and i was going to have to be a nine. i didn't think that i was going to go on dates i didn't know what was going to happen and that that's not how it happened i had a great high school run i mean you know i had a lot of.
