a so-called truth serum on prisoners who had resisted other in harms interrogation techniques also had. to take a look at israeli warplanes unleash massive airstrikes on gaza in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the enclave. but you know we came here on r.t. international with me in a day or two later this is our roundup of the top stories from the last couple days in the latest up to date news welcome to the program. it was a tense week for the british prime minister theresa may as she fought to weather a brags that storm by cabinet resignations and growing calls for a vote of no confidence the party meltdown happened after she unveiled her divorce draft plans on wednesday with a stark ultimatum. the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no
12:02 pm
deal all the all no bricks it. within hours of revealing her draft brags a plan to cabinet stencil play to secure his full backing to members abruptly quit including the president secretary but that was just the start in total seven members of tourism as government resigned she also had to face a three hour morning i am. does the prime minister's still intend to board a false choice to parliament between her botched jail or no jail she and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate betrayed. you are not delivering the brakes people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. i'm only owns of voters across the country we can choose to leave with no deal we can risk no breaks it all or we can choose.
12:03 pm
i. or 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 he's because they've been made so many promises none of which have been delivered on because think holmes be delivered to them yes difficult and sometimes uncomfortable decisions have had to be made i understand fully that the reason 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 resignations government minister resignations parliamentary
12:04 pm
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 that 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 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 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 i've seen on twitter people tearing up their cards and taking photographs so this deal
12:05 pm
doesn't actually satisfy any body and this trauma in and around parliament this week. in artie's online in case you missed it takes an alternative look at events that. there was something quick on the credit here really because i have the. chaos in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliamentary democracy trying to get to grips with something to do with brakes and. now this time the thing to do with it is very serious and we know this because it's important to do with the. that which they should all be including the one in charge of their exit on a track to be a display of confidence in themselves. that

a cia program to develop a so-called the truth serum it involved tracking prisoners who were able to withstand other 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 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. has more 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 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 while it's also ineffective

problem number one imagine the 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 slaps and willing 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. there's what a conundrum her having slapped beaten confined and water boarded these people they were getting results so they opted for something new something like

a stomach for torture. let me be clear on what the cia dr its role was here when the cia torturers 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 all the problems here journalists activists in 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.
12:12 pm
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 they don't think it's tough enough. it seems the bromance between donald trump and the money on micron on the rocks after the u.s. president lashed out his french counterpart on twitter on tuesday that had been meeting in paris during commemorations marking the centenary of the first world war armistice turned on micron over his intentions to create a europe wide army. but

west. but. what may seem as an ugly display of far right shod brainwashing appears to get full support from the local administration well earlier this year kiev splashed some of its budget 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 and planted council think tank tried to raise international awareness 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
