when to determine if they are in the new mood can you. diminish. the psychologist and design of now planned cia torture techniques in the wake of 911 justifies his actions during the preach all tests when at one time a bay detention center. i believe there was a genuine 1st of an imminent attack or gets up to date due to. a u.k. based watchdog publishes a report looking at how drone strikes could be normalized as a new tool for assassination is up to u.s. forces targeted in a radiant top military chief. and a bottle of morals as the electric car giant task of divides residents and job many its european frenchie could create thousands of jobs but also an environmental fallout we cannot stop it there will be new jobs and new transfers it's hard to

imagine anything about the 6 somebody i was on when fraser a job creation international as a company that was in there or any other place for the structure. where you are in the wild executing and international this wednesday a woman will come from a whole team here in moscow. lots of stories but let's start this hour with this one the psychologist dubbed the architect of the cia's and hans interrogation program post $911.00 has been unapologetic about his role in any torture that admission came during a minute she tribunals that's preparing a trial against the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks on new york and washington and for others. what sort of personal consequences i would live with i believe there was a genuine threat of an imminent attack or thought my moral obligation to protect american lives outweighed temporary discomforts of terrorists our guests 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 he even admitted personally using waterboarding as a torture technique that simulates drowning on several prisoners late said he and another psychologist sets up a company that provided support for the interrogations the cia's program included now illegal coercive measures. in the immediate aftermath of $911.00 we tortured some for lawyers for the 5 detainees are now seeking for any statements made under interrogation to be disqualified from the trial on grounds of torture antiwar 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 except for conditions so strict that they can't even have a picture of the court room all the testimony is restricted. 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 youths 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 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. waterboard it was a palestinian man known as abu zubaydah he's never been charged with a crime but remained indefinitely in guantanamo he was the finest known cia prison had to undergo and haunted interrogation and even lost an eye while being tortured during his time as a by to have attempted to illustrate his experiences just a warning you may find some of the following images distressing.

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 a curled position but to no avail for it was too tight the very strong pain made me scream unconsciously. they kept pouring water and concentrating on my nose in 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 being 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 cry for mx's of torture of pain of waterboarding how 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 accounting demanded not only of those who designed the torture but of those who set up these torture camps. now let's cross the pond because that u.k. based watchdog has published a report on a so-called new era suggesting drones have become a tool for conducting assassinations with more on how the weapons have changed from targeting terrorists to top military past and his are too easy. 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 risk. so how did we get to the point where assassination by drone is normal the u.k. based watchdog drone wars investigated the phenomenon from targeting members of non-state groups classed hysteresis to the assassination of top military personnel of a state that u.s. is not at war we have made huge in terms of strategy and legality unfortunately however it's also an avid to model the approach of governments 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

particular strike or the crimes in the tourist year of an individual the government appeared to for a policy if it was a secret city given away some information by trail or provided any substantial common 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 . and 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 extremists 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 in that. this was going to happen and can reveal that i believe it would have been for 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 meant 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 east london. we spoke with former u.k. army officer charles super super rich who believes the u.s.

has no legal basis for many of its trade 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 target individuals but we've really reached a situation i think 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 of iran that you've now got a situation where if if that was to be any precedent he's killing that really any official any a government minister of a state which the u.s. doesn't like can 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 initially said by term that he posed some kind of imminent threat and of course as soon as you've opened up that box of allowing talk tonight that'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. and other european news story for you norway's coalition government has elapsed after it agreed to bring home a woman charged with supporting terrorist groups in syria the move infuriate the right wing of progress party which pulled support for the coalition and response. so. there was the shoe of the woman who was an eyesore terrorist suspect were the 3 other parties caved in bringing home both mother and child we have always been willing to bring home innocent children who will not compromise with people who have jointure are going to see sions and are actively working to tear down all of

the values lurie is built on was the last straw. the report treated woman is a norwegian citizen who went to syria and 2013 she being with her 2 children in the kurdish controlled whole refugee camp in syria last week there also decided to allow her to return with her children she was arrested upon arrival on suspicion of being an eyesore member something she denies and this is not the 1st time a recent case of its kind in europe back in november for example jummy allowed a woman suspected of being an eyesore member to come back with 3 children meanwhile nearby finland agreed to examine cases on an individual basis we put the issue up for debate with former u.k. immigration advisor keith best and john unless you. 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 who 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 the mothers are all fully 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 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 a reality of 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 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 matter. it down let them be judged where they are it's no good complaining that no we didn't judicial system is a bit lenient on the sentencing although that's got nothing to do with some with

the somebody who's committed a criminal offense or not that's all to do with domestic policy in the way we live in democracies so that the problem is that populism is regarded as at the seas these people are being accused of being freshest cetra by the left and so there is a big problem of recognition of what the people really want. not far from norway and germany automotive on electrical and tests that has divided the residents of a small town near the country's capital of the plans to create its fast european gigafactory that dozens of demonstrators have been denouncing possible environmental damage with plans to cut down $300.00 hectares of forest for that factory that but they were met by counter protesters to be a p.c. at stake over the promise of thousands of jobs. over a good many people are absolutely not aware of those decisions great roll out our water management agency has already admitted that there is no guarantee of the

locals will be supplied with enough water after the launch of the factory and they have to think about it it business not true either it's good or not i'm worried about the environment the thing advance and there will be new jobs and new transparent but it's hard to imagine anything better that's got this nickel it's a good opportunity for a region bill it should cause won't solve everything and the manufacture causes environmental damage as examinee are but i'm in favor of job creation internationally as a company but wasn't there any other place for this fracturing. you know do. regan the young graduates haven't been able to find work that fits their skill was hearing growing high the so a lot of them how to move to other cities and i hope this project would provide a boost for the whole region will come out of bounds of course we're concerned

about it on the one hand we're glad that investors are interested in brand a more on the other hand we're talking about serious interviewer ince natural processes we should be carefully considered that we should do everything to mitigate the damage based on the deforestation area the implications will be very gravely and we're talking about in total deforestation and the extinction of all the animal and plant species which once inhabited this we. still had hair on our to international face but comes under scrutiny for its role in a trial in puerto rico i'll tell you why in 90 seconds. it

seems like 2016 all over again bernie sanders is popular in doing well in the polls and the democratic establishment along with the donor class are nervous their centrist politics is fraying now throw in identity politics the problem for bernie this time around apparently is that he's not inclusive enough is a democratic primary being rigged against. you know world's big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each

other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back facebook has found itself at the center of a trial unfolding students from puerto rico university and yet another privacy breach scandal it's been revealed that the social media giant gave the country's justice department access to a trove of private information a case has now been made against those who participated in protest in 2017 the student strikes lost it for a week somewhere gave budget cuts triggered by government will start to policies

the protest was streamed live on facebook and soon after the police made numerous arrests including people who were not actually protesting at the time we spoke to one of the students lawyers and she gave us details on how we used the information provided by the social media giant. they. look as. though baby oh it's so and also for a nation picture ice and dance ills and that's how they identified students with the. scary scary for everyone i think people should have the knowledge that many of the scenes that we put on social media we think are. really not private and the government the governments in general have access to that information and facebook

doesn't make it any harder for government to get the permission now mung the data given to the authorities were id numbers of those interacting with pages about the protest online facebook also granted access to private messages a bank account information marianna nellie again said this has become a new method for blacklisting and surveilling people and question rico. beyond the shills request to search more and more space from facebook and the search you are and. in our in our evacuation to broaden. the base look bro but i did use. the risotto it's. got an a in our us not the thing for people who are not being in the those who have not got any of that any illegal act and these you know wrote in the

end has led to who and you know way oh oh. blackall is the be. very mailing people and also. it also has a ceiling anything because people know they are being served. and we also got reaction from privacy activist and tech expert bill knew he says that facebook should be doing more to protect private information facebook have put themselves in a position where sometimes they argue that they are a publisher and sometimes that they argue that they're just a platform there are different responsibilities that come with either of these particular roles but one of the roles that comes in if they want to have a sort of journalistic or an editorial position is a level of protecting sources which comes with journalists or whatever what we have

to be cautious of is people using the platform to have conversations in confidence where their identity and the information about their conversations are then shared with parties that they don't wish to have this shared with it's questionable whether this should be done and on what lawful basis you need a level of judicial supervision and a legal level of oversight whatever your intruding on somebody is previously we've reached out to facebook about the data given to party because of and one of course keep you posted on any response. contract offer but isn't this our german chancellor angela merkel that's calling on the wild to include china in the pursuit of common goals and not return to cold war era exclusion. or worse rules you have to build up fairness of course we have to practice multilateralism so the rules apply to everyone but i believe for us not to fall into

a new bipolarity but rather that we try was a result of experience we have to include a country like china multilateralism and treated at least equally. this comes as the u.s. and china manage to reach a truce in their trade war german manufacturer suffered collateral damage from tensions between washington and beijing that mostly hit its car industry another flash point of course was chinese tech giant quar way the u.s. is pressuring the e.u. to ban huawei 5 g. equipment over fears it could spike to beijing and steal intellectual properties the company denies of course all accusations and job and 8 the question of 5 g. has long been debated by lawmakers with beijing promising a backlash if while way is bond in order to appease the u.s. . if germany were to make a decision that led to war always exclusion from the german market there will be consequences the chinese government will not stand by. micro picture is done and

the e.u. in general is one of the poles down in of no order and china doubtless needs another one so where there would be more of collaboration and been a continuous agender and also because of bad shit is the means dong very soon and there be a new suspects so maybe it is a plan to install a new policy to create a new consensus among the country and for china of course right now is clouds on critical and or the parent of a sign us trade war and china's government always want to engage the european countries as a remote ally to kind of kind of balance so i think the dynamics of a mechanism is the natural resource they were observing right now holway however china has some special meaning is highly symbolic in china socialist governments i personally would like to make it part of the 2 roubles a listen to make a statement saying that we are actually our so-called pro american company so over

a trade war has an effect on start merge and we are still part of the global game so they're trying to send a mixed signals that of us abroad in case the chinese government getting too close and they are still willing to look for eternity is that from the company's financial perspective while that's how things are looking up for the moment top of the hour i'll be back see them. please please. please. play. lists lists.

place. please. please. please please. please please. live. play. lists

lists lists. clicked. and very well might continue watching on since last. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery meaning this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pen this than him and what happens in court be.

shocked shocked as far as we feel. we don't know she'll just from. the end of this trial unfortunately you. will still not know childress. hello and welcome across town for all things were considered i'm peter lavelle it seems like 2016 all over again bernie sanders is popular and doing well in the polls and the democratic establishment along with the donor.
