in today's headline news the psychologist and designer of cia torture techniques in the wake of $911.00 justifies his actions and says he would do it again during a free trial testimony at guantanamo bay prison. also our drone is becoming a new tool for us fascinations based watchdog publishes a report looking at how the weapons have changed from targeting terrorists to top military personnel. and the battle of morals the electric car giant task divides residents in germany its 1st european factory could create thousands of jobs but also an environmental. thing that there will be new jobs and new

transport it's hard to imagine anything bad turn somebody on but i'm in favor of job creation and there is a company but wasn't there any other place for this factory. to watching or to international bring your line news i think from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the psychologist dubbed the architect of the cia's enhanced interrogation program post $911.00 has been apologetic about his role in the torture that admission came during a military tribunal that's preparing a trial against the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks on new york and washington and for others which have a personal consequences i would live with i believe there was a genuine threat of an imminent attack i thought my moral obligation to protect american lives outweigh the temporary discomforts of terrorists i get soaked today and do it again. james mitchell was contracted by the cia in the wake of $911.00 to

consult and create an interrogation program for al qaeda suspects even admitted personally using waterboarding a torture technique that simulates drowning on several prisoners later he and another psychologist set up a company that provided support for the interrogations lawyers for the 5 detainees are now seeking for any statements made under interrogation to be disqualified from the trial of torture the cia's interrogation program was authorized back in 2002 by george w. bush and included sleep and dietary manipulations as well as violence and keeping prisoners in painful conditions the u.s. admitted that the techniques comes to torture which was banned as an interrogation technique in 2009 anti-war activists are flounders believes the guantanamo bay trial is deeply flawed. well none of this could possibly be a fair trial i mean how can you have a fair trial with people who've been held in total secrecy whose testimony is based

on torture. the media isn't allowed in the except for conditions so strict that they can't even have a picture of the court room all the testimony is restricted. that none of this none of this layers and layers of secrecy is about providing any kind of justice or accountability or even of information it is going through a theater in order to once again exert their power their power over people's lives and we should just note that there were juveniles who were youth who were held for years at guantanamo there were people who had nothing to do who were simply sold for bounty who were kuantan m o $780.00 prisoners and then the thousands who were held in secret rendition or around the world no accounting for them so this was a huge program and its ramifications were still feeling today. the 1st attain the

mitchell water boarded was a palestinian man known as the by the way back in 2002 he's never been charged with a crime but remains and definitely in guantanamo he was the 1st known cia prisoner to undergo and hance interrogation and even lost an eye while being tortured during his time there is a beta has attempted to put his experience in the drawings just a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing.

as soon as they locked me up inside the box i tried my best to sit up but in vain for the box was too short i tried to take it curled position but to no avail for it was too tight the very strong pain made the screen unconsciously. they kept pouring water and concentrating on my nose and my mouth until i really felt i was drowning and my chest was just about to explode from the lack of oxygen . the. long hours went by while i was standing in that position my hands were tight to the upper bars. it felt like an eternity to the point that i found myself falling

asleep despite the water be. thrown at me by the guard. there's absolutely no justification that can ever be given or accepted for the horrendous and systematic torture that was used and it was used and authorized from the highest levels from the presidency the f.b.i. the cia the top levels of the military the studies were known the conditions were known this isn't just one or 2 people mitchell and jennings this was an entire unit set up in order to use torture and to study how to apply the most excruciating forms of torture of pain of waterboarding of slamming of of packing into tight boxes of stress positions and on and on so how could you justify any of this and none of this torture provided any real information of course not

that that that would even be an excuse it was done to hundreds of prisoners there were also hundreds of secret prisons secret rendition and a geisha in centers all of this really has to be exposed and then an accounting demanded not only of those who designed the torture but of those who set up these torture camps. u.k. based watch dog has published concerning report on a so-called new era for militaries suggesting drones have become a tool for conducting assassinations with more on how the weapons have changed from targeting terrorists to top military personnel here's r.t.c. sally. drones for many years now they form the controversial parts of the west's military arsenal across the world they used to gather intelligence spy on enemies and most and torricelli kill people for the apparent amusement of some.

of the guys here. i see the risk. so how did we get to the point where assassination by drone is normal the u.k. based watchdog drone was investigated the phenomenon the jump from targets in members of non-state groups class just terrorists to the s.s. a nation of top military personnel of a state that us is not in a war with may appear huge in terms of strategy and legality unfortunately however it is also inevitable the approach of government to any scrutiny in such cases has been to give away as little information as possible like in the killing of terrorist suspects in syria between 201520185 the u.k. government the focus was often placed on the individual either the legality of a particular strike or the crimes and the tory t. of an individual the government appeared to for a policy of quizes sec receipt given away some information but rarely provided any

substantial comment and lead into what was described as dissatisfied engagement in parliamentary scrutiny finally the lack of ethical debate was glaringly obvious the media in turn according to drone was failed to scrutinise the killings playing into the government's spin if anything the media coverage contained carefully controlled government messaging mohammed and was he was killed in a drone strike here it was or was as a result of persistent surveillance a british woman who became a prominent recruiter for so-called islamic state has reportedly been killed in a drone strike say it also killed her 12 year old son which she had previously used as a human shield so the blueprint is clear. use drones to kill people in war zones that expand they used to kill who you want and then don't even try to justify it instead bandy about claims that the victim was about to launch a terror attack with no evidence and paint them out to be an extremist precisely what the white house did in the most recent case we had specific emanation

information on an imminent threat and those threats trim included attacks on the us embassies what is your definition of the internet. this was going to happen i can reveal that i believe it would have been 4 embassies the president didn't say when there was a tangible he didn't cite a specific piece of evidence what he says he probably he believes are you saying that i invent one i didn't see one with regard to 4 embassies the use of drones on terror suspects became the norm now the assassination of general cause them so they money is being sold to the public using the same tropes which invites the question what else will be deemed as part of the course next. the london we spoke with former u.k. army officer tal share bridge who believes the u.s. has no legal basis for many of its drone killings. well a situation has been coming for some time i think with the show we said the

definition of a terrorist has been widened for the expediency. of those that actually are seeking to see target individuals but we've really reached a situation i think where when you've got such a senior official and it's difficult to imagine this an official more senior than somebody was a son in respect to very well on that you've now got a situation where if if that was to be any precedent he's killing that really any official or any a government minister of a state which the u.s. doesn't like to be targeted of course there's no legal basis for that which is why of course you've seen the backtracking in terms of the claim and initially said by trump that he posed some kind of imminent threat and of course a soon as you've opened up that box of allowing talk tonight that it's very difficult to put that genie back in a bottle to use another metaphor for example it's very difficult now for the u.s. to claim if one of its officials government ministers are targeted in a similar way perhaps not by a drone but by

a more traditional terrorist attack that somehow that was illegal and itself constitutes an act of terrorism when of course the u.s. has now set a precedent for this kind of action. norway's coalition government has collapsed after it agreed to bring home a woman charged with supporting terrorist groups in syria the move infuriated the right wing progress party which pulled its support for the coalition in response so i'm talking man had me think that there was the shoe of the woman who wasn't i saw a terrorist suspect were the 3 other parties dan bringing home both mother and child that we have always been willing to bring home innocent children who will not compromise with people who have joined to are going to and are actively working to tear down all of the values norway is built on that was done last straw. the woman had been living with her 2 children and the kurdish controlled refugee camp in syria in 2013 and she was arrested on her way back to norway on suspicion of

belonging to the islamic state terror group something she denies last week also decided to allow her to return with her 2 children to receive medical treatment saying it would not let a norwegian child die in syria now it's not the 1st recent case of its kind in europe back in germany allowed a woman suspected of being in iceland member to come back with her 3 children often agree to examine each such case individually to put the issue up for debate with former u.k. immigration advisor keith best and journalist lucrative. well 1st of all you've got to remember this is around a child who's ill and we should not weaponize children the child has had no control over what its mother did or whom she married or anything of that nature don't forget the images of these 4 year olds 4 years old kid 2 had to kill in front of us parents for the camera one of the prison

a suffices so these kids from $1012.00 or under 10 are extremely dangerous to mothers are awfully dangerous people who go off and commit offenses abroad whether that spy joining a an organization that is inherently against the government of the day or anything of that nature then their proper place is to be prosecuted back in their country of origin these people f. left western europe they should be judged where they committed crimes even if they deserve the death penalty following the local laws like in iraq that is totally unrealistic of reality you going to have a proper trial how are you going to have a fair trial in a war torn country where sectarianism is right it's just nonsense if it does if it does but in most cases it's not the case legally if they are norwegian citizens

norway cannot prevent them from actually coming back to norway the only way they can do that is by removing the norwegian citizenship and as a signatory to the state that is what it should do invention it would it would mean well no i'm sorry they can't do that because they're signatory to the statelessness convention if the criminal is only one nationality of he or she should be judged in the country of the nationality but most of the most of these criminals that were in syria for isis they have a double nationality so most of the countries france belgium and others that the lands could easily. suppress the european national exam let them be judged where they are it's no good complaining that norwegian judicial system is a bit lenient on its sentencing or not that's got nothing to do with some whether somebody has committed a criminal offense or not that's all to do with domestic policy in norway we live in democracies so that the problem is that populism is regarded as at the seas

these people are being accused of being fascists at cetra by the left and so there is a big problem of recognition of what the people really want. electronic energy giant has seen resistance to plans of creating its 1st european factory in a small town near the german capital hundreds of people turned out to protest against possible environmental damage however some were more enthusiastic due to the promise of thousands of job opportunities. in the. business not true whether it's good or not and i'm worried about the environment being advanced in our bit there will be new jobs and new transparent it's hard to imagine anything better that's got this and it's a good opportunity for regional elections cause won't solve everything and the manufacture causes environmental damage as exam any of us but i'm in favor of job

creation in tesla as a company but wasn't there any other place for this factory and. you know new graduates haven't been able to find work that fits their skills here in green hydro so a lot of them had to move to other cities i hope this project will provide a boost for the whole region. we've got lots of course are concerned about it on the one hand we're glad that investors are interested in brandenburg on the other hand we're talking about serious interference natural processes we should be carefully considered should do everything to me to get to damage.

a deadly virus has broken out and is running rampant in china where it's already killed 9 people beijing has confirmed more than $400.00 cases and it's already spreading to other countries with pressure being ramped up to contain it as chinese authorities say they are taking urgent actions to halt its movement here and russia the health ministry has warned of a serious risk about the corona virus could spread across its 4000 kilometer border with china quarter reports. people are dying of a new virus reported cases have tripled since the weekend and it's spreading like wildfire across asia it we still know so little about this mysterious illness.

this new coronavirus has been identified as a mutation of sars a respiratory disease that killed over 750 people around the world from 2002 to 2003 antibiotics have absolutely no effect on either of the viruses and that's been

enough to put the russian authorities on high alert not least because the chair is a border with china. the embry of a new corona virus which was 1st recorded in china carries a body logical threats to the population of russia the 1500000 chinese tourists that visit russia every year have now become a potential public health risk russian authorities have begun screening them at all international airports prepared to diagnose the virus if it appears on top of that moscow has advised people against traveling to china the official number of suspected cases in china was just under 300 by tuesday however some experts are saying the current number of infections is much higher using the number of cases detected outside china it is possible to infer the number of clinically compared to cases within one city that may have a phone we estimate that's a total of $1723.00 cases own set of symptoms russia is not alone in being worried

about the outbreak reaching its territory a number of other countries have begun screening for the disease at airports as well china stepping up containment efforts after she's paying stressed the seriousness of the outbreak on national television the disease also got the attention of the world health organization they've called for an emergency meeting to decide whether or not to declare the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern that's a title reserved only for the most serious of epidemics and with the lunar new year approaching millions of chinese around the world are expected to return home to their families one can only hope beijing will have the situation under control. some other developing stories from around the globe for you now starting and limit . the announcement of a new government has triggered protests place their use water cannon to disperse

accused russia of rewriting history responding to a recent speech from bottom or putin and which the russian leader spoke about the bread army's liberation of the nazi death camps and there's collusion with certain european leaders the polish premier had a very different version of events. as the world commemorates 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz russia is trying to rewrite history far from being a liberator the soviet union was a facilitator of nazi germany and a perpetrator of crimes of its own before and after the liberation of auschwitz the soviet union did not liberate warsaw as the russian authorities are now claiming. the dispute between russia and poland comes almost exactly 75 years after some key turning point of world war 2 in january 1945 soviet and polish forces fighting together liberated warsaw and 10 days later the red army freed the largest nazi concentration camp auschwitz and southern poland that date is now commemorated as

international holocaust remembrance day we spoke with a red army veteran who fought to liberate auschwitz and krakow yvonne march in new skin who is now 96 years old expressed his sadness at the way points leaders are now retelling the events of that war. when i was in poland euronews journalists came to me and said that children in school believed that the americans liberated auschwitz children that's ok now the head of the government makes this childish error it's surprising the prime minister exhibits such a literacy how can it be i personally participated in the liberation of krakow i personally participated in the liberation of auschwitz my blood lies somewhere in so easy i was injured there and now i come here and hear things like that how can that be a living participants of poland's liberation everyone knows that 600000 of our soldiers died during poland's liberation everywhere there are our graves i don't

think this is a one off this is part of a focus propaganda exercise. plans to salvage relics from the wreckage of the titanic have hit a snag for one private u.s. firm it was hoped robots would be used to surgically remove and retrieve artifacts to tell the stories of the 1500 people that perished at the u.k. has asked for the sunken cruise liner to be treated with sensitivity and respect. of course we recognize and respect the tragedy of what happened but the hard truth is that we need to share what we can see with the rest of the world why should only a few scientists be allowed to see the artifacts firsthand it's elitist and it's wrong the wreckage still contains the remains of those passengers that went down with the titanic after it struck an iceberg in $1012.00 many of the relatives of the victims are concerned over the announced plans to remove a deteriorating section of the roof we spoke with just just waving him from the

british titanic society believes that many people will be upset if the artifacts are removed. the stage the announcement are misty have made it is quite say you know such an exhibition event even take place from a technological viewpoint if weak sam and the equipment that's available at the moment in the technology they have. dismantled the geneviève mothership is out of commission so is at the moment really for us it kind of just feels like a big topic. we were all kind of supporting this decision sometimes you know if we've got a view that they shouldn't people it's a mystery left in peace but we're going along to museums and going to these attractions and learning more then in essence we're subconsciously playing a role in that process in which weaving artifacts it's really difficult one to gauge this will upset a lot of people and lots of people that are interested in titanic in general so be interesting to see in the next few days i'm kind of looking forward to getting a stay on how it wants feeling about it. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on
