soldiers in that country artie's guy nature can has more. every year international forces detained thousands of afghans and a good number of those are transferred to afghan interrogators now the report by the afghan independent human rights commission and a new york based open society foundations were feels that what awaits the detainees after being transferred is often torture and denial of due process the report refers to very specific cases and testimonies and basically asks whether the u.s. is complicit in torture there we're talking about some gruesome reports of abuse detailed in that report beatings suspension from the ceiling electric shocks of threatened or actual sexual abuse and other forms of mental and physical abuse which are routinely used to obtain confessions or other information the research primarily focuses on how the afghan intelligence agency does business and i think it says that the u.s. in the business of the u.s. forces is just to hand over those detainees but for years america's own network of secret prisons in afg

oil but even though it's free to trade with the islamic republic america wants it to go elsewhere artie's prius trader reports. so far indian officials have refused to stop buying iranian oil which washington has clearly been very angry about some top u.s. state department officials in the past couple of weeks have said that this was a slap in the face to them the indian foreign minister has said that while india has followed u.n. sanctions in the past there is nothing that actually binds them to follow them another big point that many indian officials here are sort of looking at is that the new u.s. law doesn't specify what percentage nation must reduce its import to qualify it from exemptions from the same sions so right now there have been reports surfacing that obama could impose penalties on india as early as june twenty eighth many analysts here in india are saying that same should simply won't work if india and china don't get on board the united states is actually trying to pressure india to start using oh oil. and iraq which obviously are two major allies that washington has an i

and its allies for regime change in syria artie's people of a caught up with the envoy just as he left moscow after talks with the russian leadership. we spoke to him in the in the airport the part cheers alone cheer now he praised russia for offering their its full support to his six point peace plan he met with president putin to get as well as with the foreign minister sergey lavrov over the weekend very happy with what came out of those meetings he said though that the the key issue now is to get both sides in the syrian crisis to sit down together to put down their weapons and to talk things out and he was asked the question in the short press conference you feel he was asked should a bunch of other side be removed from power that is one of the issues the syrians. sat. there for to strike syria it's. come to the table and find a way out of four years in terms of how long it will take to carry out to act out the what's contained in the peace plan he said well you can't put a time frame all of the fights to do so could be counterproductive to was put in place he also mentioned forei

his account but charles saw it is on their iranian guidance and ridicules his own reforms but as artie's laura smith reports of there is considerable doubt about the credibility of the claims which come from splintered opposition groups. well there's a variety of things that refer to in his professional life and also in his personal life these e-mails it's claimed were intercepted by some hackers belonging to one of the opposition groups the supremes council of the revolution between june and early february to june last year early february this year it's significant that they're being released now obviously they're bound to receive quite a lot of media coverage because it's the first anniversary of the uprising in syria so we should certainly look at the timing of that to some of the e-mails refer to communications that assad has had with iran and with the rain in proxies. giving him advice to use powerful and violent language when he's talking to the people also to show appreciation for friendly states and certainly more information on syria's military strength to suggest to the people

self interests so whether or not today's meeting in fact will achieve anything remains to be seen at artie's middle east correspondent hala slayer. but at least x.-press francesco sisi told us that the deep divisions within the syrian opposition could be a serious obstacle to peace. from what we know the rebels are very divided extremely divided in and these are called. for harder fight between different factions as we have seen for instance only see that leave it in print precious are now in conflict in some kind of conflict with each other this situation is the. brilliance people therefore you would be useful to have a peace settlement now are. nobody clearly winning and everybody would be. more in the mood for for compromise. still ahead for you on the program silencing the whistle. with the leaks wiki leaks we keep leaks which we highlight the lengths washington is prepared to go to to persecute the world's most famous whistleblower truly an assault. on the private profiteers of bleeding britain's health service dry u.k. lawmakers a vote for reforms that could see a very firms make milli

as a glorification of nazis and despite that it's got support at the highest political levels as artie's jake aggrieved. there's been decades of change since the world where nazi germany dominated despite the bloody legacy to some courses of europe you still have an audience. now the jews are crying about the holocaust who train marines in forty nine hundred forty one the war for the wall and killed me i think they received it would be deserved. this is one thousand five hundred people gathered to fishy commemorate those who fought alongside hitler's armies and joined the waffen s.s. the meeting stoking fears of a neo nazi resurgence in latvia. we can't be silent when the people to bring the memory of the notice of the birth and this are marching in the street of a member of the european union those in the crowd defend their start saying the so called legionnaires' were fighting for liberty at a time when tyranny faced laughter from all directions it was a military force formed in nine hundred forty three from volunteers and members of the disbanded latvian auxiliary police responsible f

assad regime was lending its weight to the efforts of the un syria envoy kofi annan to mediate peace artie'smiddle east correspondent paula sli or as the details. the united nations security council is expected to vote on this draft statement after syria the statement as such is a statement that would not be legally binding and this is because over violence in syria has been ongoing for more than a year in lagos minus security council members has been that i'm able to agree on the resolution a resolution by comparison is binding statement is not but it does have the potential to become a resolution at a later stage now russia is best making the statement and has that it will backfire resolution that will be formulated from the proposal being put forward by the former head of the united nations kofi annan he has a six point peace plan but moscow has made the point that any kind of statement any kind of resolution can not blame slowly need syrian regime for what has transpired in syria now we don't have to tells of course announce a plan we do understand it includes elements such as calling fo

suggest a strike is in the planning stages and could use a type of bomb never seen before and as artie's and started chatting to reports it looks as if history may be repeating itself. i know for a fish are popular among us war veterans like math it sure wrote something the nerves of some of the roughly one hundred seventy thousand american soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder the u.s. army frag has one hundred eighty three campaign ribbons on those one hundred eighty three ribbons and each represent wars when you compare that to the world at two hundred thirty six years that we've actually been around as a country we're talking about you know a war on average once every year and three months serving americans are on permanent standby to deploy to carry out warfare on command as the u.s. has a bone to pick with one enemy after the other from the soviet union in the choppiness threat was the most useful enemy where we are legitimate and we are completely fantastical it was always the bailable as it's a global conspiracy against which to justify any smaller untag it is af

it is also raising a lot of questions and is hampering its relations with its neighbors thank you artie's arena gold reporting live from moscow. and still ahead for you this hour a post-revolutionary take on justice. thousands of vigilante sort of plant police across pittacus gonna give us appears that the law is now available to rent to the highest bidder. and who needs running water or electricity pressure close up takes you to a sleepy village that the twenty first century is left far behind. the u.s. soldier accused of killing sixteen civilians in afghanistan has been named staff sergeant robert bales is already back in the states in a military prison but has not been charged yet army officials say he's being held in solitary confinement and afghan investigation claims that bales was not acting alone and that up to twenty other u.s. troops may have taken part in the massacre international affairs commentator rick ross also believes the cold blooded killing of civilians by american forces is just history repeating itself. and we have reason to believe you know received no is right all

received a letter from the country's supreme court although there's been no official confirmation as artie's are in a girls' school reports it's a case that's attracted condemnation far and wide. the two men are accused of carrying out the blasts in the admins metro in two thousand levon in april of two thousand and eleven they were arrested just a couple of days after the blast stick place and were put on trial and they over were accused of carrying out not just a terror attack in april of last year but also of another one which also happened in minsk in two thousand and eight one of the men dimitri kind of all of has actually pleaded guilty to both cases where is the other man the one we're talking about in this particular instance of what is has pleaded not guilty he has also written a letter with a petition for pardon to the belorussian president that petition was refused officially now we are hearing that the death sentence has actually been implemented we do not know anything about the fate of another man as of yet now this case was very closely followed by human rights organizations e

which published the article defending the debate but for some with the idea is a step too far as artie's either bennett reports. surely three pos was eight months pregnant when she found out her son would be born with down syndrome even as late as that the only advice she got was to have an abortion doctors tried to persuade her sam's condition would be a struggle not worth living but six years on the only struggle mother and child have had was ignoring that advice i could start all over again and i was choosing not to say and i was treated as something from puter. up malice he actually i was treated as if i was just stupid. it is very sad to think that they are the people who are giving advice. they have a duty to everyone taking an eye to preserve life and a day in a lot of them i think i still don't feel that our children know where preserving their not worth saving and that were happening and that really isn't the case that stereotypes just been taken a whole lot further by two ethicists who argue it's ok to kill babies even after the born the controversial comments were published by

and seemingly shine a light into the embattled leaders and our circle let's get the details from artie's a london correspondent laura smith laura what exactly is are is in these e-mails. well this is an extraordinary cache of emails and of course as you've already mentioned we have to look at where they come from they were claimed intercepted by the opposition group the super supremes council of the revolution between june last year and early february now it can't be any coincidence that they've been really being released today which of course is the first anniversary of the revolt in syria and they reveal a whole range of of sort of. occupation all matters of the first syrian president but also personal matters let's start with the more serious things that these e-mails really reveal they seem to suggest that assad has established through and communicated with through a private e-mail address a sort of network of powerful aides with whom he's communicated directly therefore bypassing his clan and also the vis syrian security operates that's one thing he also has we've seen promised a se

who join the gathering stressed again any interference in syria's internal affairs is unacceptable artie's the tally nothing was there. the joint statement declared that's russia the league of arab states finally agreed on a road map that has been suggesting for quite a while now a five point roadmap for number one is immediate cease fire and stop violence coming from all sides of the conflict that it's impartial and free monitoring of the situation in the country point number three which is probably the most important one that russia has been making all this time is no external interference as sergei lavrov once again stressed that russia does not support the syrian regime but rather the people's rights of choosing their faith for their own country installed in their domestic issues on their own also they talked about the needs of humanitarian corridor for all the people of syria who need aid and will praised for the afterwards of course the annan who is currently in syria trying to establish dialogue between president bashar assad's opposition groups of which there are more than one in s

that over one hundred most reason many of them french had been caught as they fled the city of homs artie's reflection has the latest from syria. two days after the rebel forces pulled out from babar a neighborhood in homes face a grow you know free range attacks by the rebels the chief of the free syrian army has sad but thursday's withdrawal was a tactical on your position syrian national council who is recognized by european union as legitimate representative of the syrian people has warned of massacres claiming they would provide leadership that is a good guys fighters and give them weapons the opposition group already formed a military council to coordinate their weapons supplies these reports follow the free syrian army claims that it's already received weapons and empty aircraft missiles from u.s. and french sources arming the rebels has been considered as an excellent idea by qatar and saudi arabia earlier with a twenty two nation arab league also viewed this as an option if the violence doesn't stop here in syria humanitarian organizations have been appealed to president bashar al

no with fishel permission was ever obtained but activists say the real agenda could be darker as artie's policy or reports from hebron. in the remote hilltops of south had drawn this ancient plate when tribal ekes out a living from the land but they've unwittingly become the latest thorn in the side of the israeli government now. by any means make any real security threat to the israeli government but this part of earth was on the agenda when the german foreign minister met with his israeli counterparts at the center of the conflict these wind and solar generators which will bring electricity to and lighting up the lives of some four hundred people as tel aviv complaining it was lift in the dark but new solar shower is just a three to to show us how her life's been transformed this is what she used to do she tells us four hours twice a day they had no electricity they had no power to charge before they would need to go to the nearby city of. you know it's two hours war just to drive to the telephone and that's a product of the anger of the israeli authorities they say it was a record wit

weapons as artie's various emotional reports war arms could spell more bloodshed. but the bullet is do essentially still estate despite international isolation series borders have remained opened and easy to pass through and that may have played a crucial role in the militarization of the country's conflicts almost immediately after the crisis began here last march they were reports of claflin has been smuggled through to arm president al assad's opponents one thousand dollars to a truck full of weapons capable of delivering house sale destruction and death that's how much and kinds of who pay to smugglers usually iraqi a lebanese drive varies according to ziad ismail chief of the customs series on the border with lebanon. these people bring the women here to destroy our nation and try to kill syrian people under syrian territory enemies. syria has more than two thousand kilometers of front year with five states israel iraq jordan turkey and lebanon the syrian cities where the most violent clashes have taken place homes and there are all over the an hour over the b

i was artie's threats are severe and full interview with mark where djibril is coming up in just over an hour's time here in r.t. . now a summit to assess the threat of nuclear terrorism is underway in south korea and some fifty countries taking part u.s. president barack obama has already threatened north korea with punishment if it goes ahead with launching a satellite next month and many fear is a disguised missile test this now is john sorensen right in the faculty of asian and middle eastern studies at cambridge university thank you for joining us here on our team now in washington agreed to send signals to pyongyang to refrain from the snow on which it insists will only carry a certain light why do you think north korea is pushing for this when it's bad by u.n. sanctions. i think it's probably ultimately an issue about domestic politics and the way you handle proceed with a new leader in the north i got to wonder if he had to assess its authority demonstrate to its public that it's clearly in charge that it can't be pushed around by the international community or this was a refl
