11:01 am
a company but wasn't there any other place for this factory. where you are in the wild. national this one stay a warm welcome from the whole team there and lost. lots of stories so let's get stuck in the psychologist dubbed the all contact of the cia's in hans interrogation program post 911 has been unapologetic about his role in 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. whatever 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 outweigh the temporary discomforts of terrorists are get soaked today and do it again. james mitchell was contracted by the cia in the wake of
11:02 am
$911.00 to consult on create an interrogation program for al qaeda suspects he even admitted puff's than using waterboarding of torture techniques that simulates drowning on several prison as. another psychologist set up a company that provided support for the interrogations the cia's program included now illegal co us of masha's. in the immediate aftermath of $911.00 we tortured some for lawyers for the 5 detainees are now seeking for any statements made on the interrogation to be disqualified from the trial on grounds of torture until activists are flounders believes the count a trial is deeply flawed. well none of this could possibly be
11:03 am
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. the 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 prisoners and then the thousands who were held in secret rendition or around
11:04 am
the world no accounting for them so this was a huge program and its ramifications were still feeling today the detainee mitchell waterboard it was a palestinian man known as abu zubaydah he's never been charged with a crime but remains indefinitely in guantanamo he was the fos known cia prison had to undergo an haunted interrogation and even often i while being tortured during his time as a by to has attempted to in the straight his experiences a warning you may find some of the following images distressing.
11:05 am
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 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
11:06 am
upper bars. it felt like an eternity to the point that i found myself falling asleep and despite the water being thrown at me by the guards. there is 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 f.b.i. the cia the top levels of the military the studies were known the conditions were known. and this isn't just one or 2 people michel 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
11:07 am
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. another headline story for you a u.k. based watchdog has published a report on a so-called new era suggesting drones have become a tool for conducting assassinations with war and how the weapons have changed from targeting terrorists to top minute to pass an al his r t z. 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
11:08 am
and most of 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 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 tours of an individual the government
11:09 am
appeared to for a policy if it was a secrecy giving away some information by trail or providing any substantial common and lead into what was described as dissatisfying engagement in parliamentary scrutiny finally the lack of ethical debate was glaringly obvious the media and according to drone wars failed to scrutinize 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 it. 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
11:10 am
a terror attack with no evidence to 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 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 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 r.t. london earlier we spoke with former u.k. army officer charles super edge who believes the u.s. has no neagle basis for many of its drone killings. well
11:11 am
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 that an official mohseni and 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 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 tahrir 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.
11:12 am
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. some of that european story for you norway's coalition government has collapsed after decreed 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. there was the shoe of the woman who wasn't i saw a terrorist suspect we're just 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 joined. and are actively working to all of the values lurie is built on was the last straw. their punctuated woman is
11:13 am
a norwegian citizen who went to syria and 2013 she being with her 2 children in the kurdish controlled a whole refugee camp in syria last week though her decided to allow her to return with her children she was arrested on arrival on suspicion of being an eyesore member something she denies now this is not the recent case of its kind in europe back in november for example germany allowed a woman suspected of being an ice on member to come back with her 3 children meanwhile nearby finland agreed to examine cases on an individual basis we've got the issue up for debate with the former u.k. immigration advisor keith best and john this. 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
11:14 am
forget the images of these 4 year olds 4 years old kid 2 had to kill in front of his 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 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 surf the death penalty following the local laws like in iraq that is totally unrealistic a 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 but in most cases
11:15 am
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. no it's down let them be judged where they are it's no good complaining that no we judicial system is a bit lenient on the sentencing although that's got nothing to do with some whether somebody is committed a criminal offense or not that's all to do with domestic policy in the way we live
11:16 am
in democracies so that the problem is that populism is regarded as at the seas these people are being accused of being fascists that septra by the left and so there is a big problem of recognition for the people really want. not far from norway and jummy automotive electrical energy giant tesla has divided the residents of a small town near the country's capital of a plans to create its 1st of european gigafactory dozens of demonstrators have been denouncing a possible environmental damage with plans to cut down 300 hectares of forests for that very factory but they were met by counter-protest as to who appeared to be enthusiastic over the promise of those thousands of jobs. because of a good many people are absolutely not aware of those decisions great fall out our water management agency has already admitted that there is no guarantee the locals will be supplied with enough water after the launch of the factory and they have to think about it it business but not true either it's good or not i'm worried about
11:17 am
the environment a good thing advancing there will be new jobs and new transparent but it's hard to imagine anything about turning that's got this nickel it's a good opportunity for a region bill it should cause once over everything and then 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. even though it. graduates haven't been able to find work that fits their skill was hearing growing haida so a lot of them had to move to other cities and i hope this project will provide a boost for the whole region equipment of guns of course we're concerned about it on the one hand we're glad that investors are interested in brandenburg on the
11:18 am
other hand we're talking about serious interference natural processes we should be carefully considered that we should do everything to me to get the damage based on the deforestation area the implications will be very gravely and we're talking about total deforestation and the extinction of all of the animal and plant species which once inhabited this we. still had this our office national broadband 10 and a private u.s. company go head to head over a plan to solve the traffic on the planktonic stories up to the show play.

11:21 am
the u.s. and china manage to reach a truce in their trade war job and manufacture suffered collateral damage from tensions between washington and beijing that mostly hit its car industry and other trash point of course was the chinese tech giant qual way the u.s. is pressuring the e.u. to ban huawei 5 g. equipment over fears it could spy for beijing and steal intellectual properties for its part the company denies all accusations in germany the question of 5 g. has long been debated by lawmakers with beijing promising a backlash if well wait is banned in order to please the u.s. . if germany were to make a decision that led to wow ways exclusion from the german market there will be consequences the chinese government will not stand by our idol micro picture is duds r.d. e.u. in general is one of the pose that on in of noble order and in china doubtless knees than the the worn so were there are be more

the a willing to love or tallaght have a list that from the common is of the knowledge of a spot her had finally va sounds been a senate and agreement between london and washington med to protect the wreckage of the titanic has finally come into force after at ratification by the u.s. air comes as a private american firm has been pushing to go ahead with a project to salvage relics from the sunken vessel it wants tease sub must suppose row parts to retrieve artifacts to tell the story is of those 1500 people that perished 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 rest of the ship still contains the remains of those passengers that went down with the titanic after it struck an iceberg in $1012.00 many relatives of the victims are concerned over plans to remove
11:24 am
a deteriorating section of the room we spoke with just meeting them from the british titanic society you told us that many will be upset if the u.s. firm gets its way. this stage the announcement they are misty have made it is quite say you know come at such an exhibition event even take place from a technological viewpoint if we examined 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 piece we're all kind of supporting this decision sometimes you know if we've got a view that they shouldn't be bought and she 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 of retrieving artifacts so it's a really difficult one to gauge this will upset a lot of people and a lot 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 it on how it wants
11:25 am
