Syria. For sugar pushing my research she was told a couple logs about why they wouldnt run the c. W. Story. It was a long list of things are done personally wrong. Hello the good morning just go right oclock here in moscow youre watching r. T. International now a series of chilling sketches produced by guantanamo inmates have been published in a report called how america tortures the pictures show the socalled enhanced interrogation techniques that abu zubaida was subjected to between 20022005 in the secret cia prison his lawyer mark dembo who was the driving force behind the torture report believes it will help to shed light on the abuse of prisoners. So you see you know its. So that is simply there goes the terrible. d ringback torture. I dont know if they are or. Why they charged. Or released. Was captured from a jihadi safe pakistan in 2002 and sent to a socalled cia black sites in thailand where the toll she took place was then transferred to Guantanamo Bay where he still being held without charge he was the 1st person to be subjected to the brutal Interrogation Program which was approved by the administration of george w. Bush and to since been acknowledged by the cia heres a quick overview of what happened. 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 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 guards. My colleagues. He told us that the u. S. Has transparency shes when it comes to high guantanamo detainees are treated. Has he suffered any lasting physical psychological damage or result of the torture. Well you know he must you know anybody would but its ive visited him 67 times a year a robot is a tyrant and its really quite hard to see d any of that. He has had the minutes of adjustments because of what techniques were used on him the waterboarding may have produced some problems were feared the fact is they were used on him for 17 straight he did it is. They care row didnt want to. Believe hes not going to face any charges he has not faced any charges there the clear issue is here why is being kept for so long in kuantan him obey. Well i think it is yes or is theres no question that for 17 years he has never been charged i represented for 10 years weve been asked repeatedly for him to d be charged with crimes and that is very frustrating but they do it in c. In the cia excuse. Me state Senate Committee on intelligence has found he was never a member of that have nothing to do with all d the noble or did d he ever do any terrorist acts whats the purpose all that when its been shown to to essentially fail to yield Accurate Information from many suspects so i think it failed to produce Accurate Information from almost anybody but certainly the field to attract any and to obtain any accurate explanation for it was a bit of part because they didnt know any accountability is that you would i would love to have many people held accountable but it turns of. The american model right now is d to look forward d not backwards of course the problem we have right now is look if they dont work backwards the digital who are stuck there are going to remain stuck where. No i dont think. d right. d now the u. S. Ties will vote on impeachment donald trump on wednesday the president himself accuses the democratic leadership of pressuring Party Members to vote no way and also warns that the whole process could actually backfire dems both from the house and the senate have pulled no punches trying to convince the public. Impeachment the constitution precisely to protect ourselves from a president becoming a tyrant and a desperate clear that this president acted in a way that not only violates the public trust each up or dies to our National Security what is President Trump afraid of the truth the facts the American People understand whats happening here we have to stand up and appear to the American People is if we accept our constitutional responsibility honestly and fairly and directly where the pressure is especially high on those representatives that come from pro trump states and could disappoint their own votes is these kind of northen breaks down the impeachment case. A vote on impeachment is set to take place the house of representatives has drawn up the charges and democrats are calling for donald trump to be removed how democrats have focused on fighting for the people we must hold this president accountable a constitution a nation dependent democrats see launching these proceedings as a huge victory they say donald trump has betrayed the whole country but the whole country doesnt agree the country is split and americans dont seem to care for partisan squabbles many have become more critical of the democrats in recent months even within the house of representatives 18 democrats are bucking the party line and say they will vote against impeachment they argue that months before the 2020 alexion this doesnt look good for the democrats but we are so close there are now like i work our you getting here knowing how. To drive and i dont think there are youre. All these factors combined to make some democrats very nervous and donald trump seems to be emphasizing the fears on the other side of the aisle any democrat that votes for this she. Will be voting to sacrifice their House Majority their dignity and their career. Another fear hanging over the democrats is that they wont be able to actually remove donald trump from office after all republicans have a pretty solid majority in the senate so whats the plan well call up even more witnesses during the impeachment trial in the senate how on such a weighty matter could we avoid hearing this could we go forward without hearing it i havent seen a single good argument about why these witnesses shouldnt testify with these documents be produced unless the president has something to hide. And you supporters want that information. But who knows if these tactics will actually pay off remember the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings the democrats called witness after witness after witness and the republicans seem to have been the big winners then these Sexual Assault allegations and heated rhetoric didnt win the democrats any points as the 2020 alexion edged nearer democrats stand to possibly lose pretty big from this whole impeachment fiasco after all the trouble is actually driven from office the red state in the rust belt base of Trump Supporters wont be pleased animosity between the 2 sides could reach a critical juncture and if they fail they could face ridicule for dragging the country through a pointless procedure wasting money and wasting time so what exactly are the democrats trying to accomplish by impeaching donald trump to quote an old american saying you have to wonder are the democrats perhaps cutting off their nose in order to spite their face kaleb often r. T. New york. There are foster 2020 us president ial candidates in the potential policy towards these clear what the democrats are really up to with their impeachment drive. Anybody with common sense can see it you know there is no basis for impeachment and we know that there is a Senate Majority the only thing that the democrats are proving is that they were sore losers during the election and we see time and time again a lot of people are getting away from the Democratic Party not just by the way theyre acting on it theyre wasting the tax paying dollars. Putting on fiascoes still cannot get over that donald trump is the president the United States i mean i was against him in the elections in 2016 and im running against him again in 2020 but you have to put all of that aside and there are facts and there is you know the fake news and thats what were seeing today. The american magazine newsweek is a. Spotlight after a former reporter claimed that he quit when editors threw out his story on a chemical attack investigation in syria then. Between us we can tackle that has intensified we heard from the journalist who gave us his version of events. I was i kept pushing to try and do the story because i feel like its of extreme you know Public Interest the attacks on me that it is were kind of nit picking on on certain things i was doing in my articles but it was purely on interest to be able to target me in an email so off pushing a son she was told a couple alarms about why they wouldnt run the o. P. C. W. Story. It was a long list of things that ive done personally wrong you know my argument is the documenting documentary evidence that we have solid its been verified by reuters its been verified by the mail on sunday. Theres no reason in my opinion that it shouldnt be published. There is a writer and a freelance journalist who joined news we can september this year just 2 months later though he quit after pitching a story about the Global Chemical watchdog the o. P. C. W. Misrepresenting facts relating to the ledge chemical attack in ceres duma rejected it and now her dad is a legal battle over his publishing of an exchange of corporate emails as for the magazine itself newsweek has given this statement saying her dad pitched a Conspiracy Theory that couldnt run because it goes against objective reporting we can publish 3 truths of really open c. W. Documents and emails between the watchdogs whistleblower and his chiefs in the whistleblower expresses his concern over the final report on the attack which contradicts the Investigation Teams finding in the report the level of chlorine was allegedly overstated plus it is still unclear if the cylinders were dropped were placed manually one of the leads was to blow emails was later verified by the reuters news agency. The Fact Finding Mission report does not reflect the views of all the team members that deployed to doom or only one Fact Finding Mission team member a paramedic of the socalled Fact Finding Mission core team. Was in duma we are not insisting on being right in our assertions but we are demanding to be heard we have been stonewalled throughout by obfuscation exclusion and even thuggish and bullying behavior the alleged chemical attack and in april last year reporting killed dozens of civilians in response the United States and its nato allies france and conducted air strikes against Syrian Military targets the c. W. Was later sent to the scene to investigate an suspected chemical attack and the subsequent reporting queues the Syrian Government of carrying it out what is tarik dad again explaining why journalists should not be exploited to justify paul. Lets look at the evidence that we have available to us at the moment there are scientists from a nonpolitical body of the united nations. That say that their report their findings from a chemical weapon site were not representative in the in the final report that was released to the world to me this is you know doesnt really need explaining why this is a newsworthy story is that these organizations have taken a long time for us to get here in terms of a historical point of view when we shouldnt be weaponized in them to kind of create the Public Opinion needed to go to war at the moment there are very few western well mainstream western journalists that are reporting on this so i would say this complete failure of the media. You know our job as journalists are to hold governments to account and if governments are going to war on false premises then. We have good evidence to suggest that now and no one is reporting it then were not doing our job as journalists. British Primary School has found itself in the firing line after parents were angered by changes to the wording for additional Christmas Carols the white old Primary School in the south east of england has rejected several carols replacing for example little lord with baby boy jesus critics say the changes are made the whole point of the celebration some parents have reacted negatively. If he was just a baby boy named jesus there wouldnt be a celebration in the 1st place hes our lord and savior and king of all kings thats the whole point its also a tradition is taking away the traditions of the country i believe my children have been discriminated against and they have been denied the freedom to fully express their Faith Christian belief and tradition of being 2nd feist and silenced in the name of inclusion and Political Correctness the words lord jesus are about the central message of christmas which is that god is with those in jesus to put it very simply but its what christmas is about the school in question says it promotes British Values including tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs it has defended the move by saying that some students did not attend last year is this because of their religious beliefs on the school wants to include all their peoples during the festive period well earlier kevin owen discussed the issue with him yet from the christian concerned group and also social commentator my answer. Christianity and the whole reason why we celebrate Christian Christmas is because jesus was born as a human being and yet it was god as well and came down and its an incredible thing to think that god became a human being but thats what actually happened and thats what were celebrating here and they wanted to remove that reference as well as jesus being king and jesus being savior if we dont have those things what are we celebrating i think its a massive distortion lets be quite clear jesus wasnt god he was odd agreed from a theological perspective not agree he was a mighty messenger a prophet there is very little theological evidence the public space and the educational space is one which is secular it does not mean it is bereft of theology or education of belief or conscience but is inclusive of it so if we want to have Standing Advisory Councils of religious education that include all strains of all walks of life of humanism as well and atheism of people who want to come in there with so of more free n. G. s they are included nowadays and the question is whether children should be free to opt out from an itty bitty where is mary jesus a baby and all the question that it is not decided on in a stable which isnt true i think that sets the parents or the fix or composition i think they could come a watch if they wanted to theyre really so upset about people saying jesus or that they have to not even be in the same presence theres something to talk about there why are they so upset about people saying jesus is lord i cant even go watson and observe it you know and so i think i want to discuss that with them but ultimately i want to respect their rights if they want to opt out of it they cannot sound of it another person should be made for that and the head teacher has seen that she has had 60 people who last year opted out from religious services worshipful activities and under the education act collective worship is wholly or broadly of a christian tradition but it doesnt have to be a particular question is not whether they did i was out thats not a commercial you want to opt out no none of that the question you know youll just go to the car see the question is whether you should tell us the wording of our laws its not what people should opt out everyone agrees that theyre not out. Why belgium says my only reason i dont have one place is not a question that might change the wording of traditional carols to remove the key belief of christianity as something thats not christian after all thats the question islam is best is the completion of gods revelation we are not here to supersede christians we have to live alongside people and one another and in a modern Secular Society in the educational space we need to have a plural system where everybody is welcome this is the same old tired arguments that some so. How do you know migrants i mean when you have a situation that was a christianity that are not your traditional sounds is not welcome youre saying belief is the word so much as i. Said although i would say all that what it is doing then following it will say thats of christianity youre the one thats being intolerant here because youre saying they shouldnt saying the word says it all thats the its all an attitude here. Debate we had here really and i and what may prove to be a major setback for Transatlantic Relations the u. S. Senate has approved a sanctions bill targeting Companies Involved in the north to pipeline project the measure aimed at disrupting russias efforts to increase the supply of gas to europe is expected to be signed into law by president dont try this week early my colleague kevin i mean discuss this with our correspondent. Heres the deal from the american standpoint if the russian data or gas is delivered to western europe through all pipelines through countries like Poland Ukraine its all fine by the way once russia starts playing its new pipelines elsewhere this immediately causes a meltdown in government offices in kiev and warsaw but back to the 2nd option the way it is seen in d. C. Its Russias Energy giant gas problems starts diversifying the ways its fuel gets to western European Countries through new pipelines like nord. Stream north stream 2 thats a disaster that gets europe hoped on putins gas needle so lets just listen to how a u. S. Congressman who was behind the sanctions put it last week this pipeline if completed. Would make europe even more dependent on Russian Energy would generate billions of dollars for putin billions of dollars that would fund Russian Military aggression so we have learned that the us 2020 National Defense authorization act includes a bill that would penalize the companies that are involved in the construction of nord stream 2 there are plenty of german businesses that are who are involved because it is indeed in the interest of european consumers to get a new more reliable more direct route for the supplies now when it comes to the officials in moscow they have been blaming the americans for unfair competition in moscows message has been very simple you dont really care about europe what you want to do is sell your liquefied natural gas across which makes it more expensive in many cases but i just want to make sure that you listen to one american official because it cant just look at how they put it if the gas is russian that is bad putins gas if it is something thats extracted in america thats molecules of freedom with the u. S. In another year of record setting not to Gas Production im pleased that the department of energy is doing what account to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of u. S. Freedom to be exported to the world either which way this pipeline ends up in germany suppose germany had to say about it well just a little earlier the german top diplomat reiterated berlins stance that these sanctions are unacceptable north strained to is almost fully complete and i can tell you that this u. S. Sanctions bill is believed to open up this 30 day window for the European Companies to abandon their work on the pipeline now i can tell you that the german newspaper. Built revealed internal documents from germanys Energy Ministry where it says that berlin believes that this pipeline could be completed within this area and then this could actually lead to a situation when the sanctions prove to be completely pointless but of course we understand that nothing is pointless when it can be aimed at the audience back home the audience that will vote at some point. Germanys committee chief on economy and energy told us though the burden is ready to respond to any sanctions imposed by washington. But if the u. S. Keeps trying to obstruct the north stream project i suggest responding with punitive tariffs on german imports of american gas things cannot continue like this if we impose punitive tariffs on u. S. Gas sales will fall on the u. S. Will have to reflect on his actions the u. S. Is unhappy that we are not buying their gas they want to boost their own trade and thats why they are imposing sanctions on Companies Involved in building the pipeline the firstly american liquefied natural gas is obtained through fracking which makes it an acceptable for germany and secondly it is much more expensive than rushing gas by the natural gas we get from russia is high in demand and due to falling production in europe the demand has only increased so we plan to import more of it this is why north stream 2 is so important because the americans have tried to interrupt our oil and gas trade with russia from the outset and yet we have managed to cooperate for many years without interruption so both sides need this and we plan to continue whether the us likes it or not. The british Prime Minister has unveiled plans that he says will fight anti semitism or johnson wants to ban public bodies from joining a palestinian led campaign to boycott israel as a protest over the occupied territories so i ask you taylor picks up the story. There are a few grassroots organizations as divisive as the boycott divestment and sanctions movement at build the shelf as a pro freedom pro Equality Group fighting to secure palestinian rights by putting economic pressure on israel but in recent years b. D. s has been accused of antisemitism and allegation vehemently denies the b. D. S. Movement does not tolerate any acts or discourse which drops or promotes among others and black racism and the arab racism islamophobia. And he semitism sexism zina phobia or homophobia the b. D. S. Movement is an unknown and thats Harsh Criticism of its who are either human Rights Groups and the u. N. Also condemn illegal israeli settlements in the west bank similarly know found by the e. U. s top court ruled that both food and drink made in these settlements have to be labeled as coming from the occupied territory and even the International HolocaustRemembrance Alliance whose definition of antisemitism is used internationally allows for a less than glowing reviews office well criticism of israel is similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as anti semitic nevertheless politicians globally have chosen to side against b. D. S. And the latest to jump on the brotherhood walk in is Boris Johnson feeling fresh and powerful of his recent sweep to victory in the u. K. General election b. D. s is no good as ation devoted to boycotting and removing investment from israel one of our key allies were going to ensure that the Public Sector places Like Councils and Health Authorities cant work against israel prejudice israel b. D. S. Is just a thin disguise for anti semitism and we as conservatives should always tackle Racial Discrimination b. D. s is one of the worst we pieces of racialism that we know. This latest move has sparked criticism from those who argue b. D. S. Is a non violent protest movement dedicated to ending discrimination they claim this is an up and deliberate attempt to conflate criticism of israeli policies with anti semitism the conservative governments who new talk of outlawing b. D. S. Is the result of having lost the moral argument and like supporters of israel everywhere needing to resort to oppression and smears to stop ethical by cart and divestment initiatives also crying foul of this alleged misuse of the anti semitism label are supporters of Jeremy Corbett they argue hes been smeared for standing in solidarity with the Palestinian People i think it is high time the un since it does recognize the needs of the Palestinian People through. And also through their membership to unesco its time for them to now recognize palestine as a state and some who had been hoping for a call from the government were quick to identify the guilty party the chief rabbi must be dancing in the street the pro israel lobby a one hour day on election by line Jerry Mccorkle in an already tense Political Climate reaction to the remark came fit fost once again opens her trap and once again vile and to semitism spews of her racist how can this vile bigot still be in the lords allowed month and barris meant to our country janet is an unapologetic and a semite there she goes again she cant help herself its a sickness the chief rabbi must be dancing in the street over labours election loss jenny tongue is vile but its the responses that expose how bad antisemitism actually is its a semantic minefield out there be careful where you step even a well intentioned statement could be used as ammunition against you or is. Johnson was actually submitting to that israeli pressure he was actually also he was influenced by President Donald Trump but what some prizes need to be honest is why he isnt a hottie he isnt power just just a few days ago he won the election just last players the old wednesday so now immediately the person he is taking care of is to actually begin to take this strong position against innocent people in palestine people and better bit goofy shit 1st they said you know we should ban these a and is it and now it is the symmetry is it. Which means also and it is that idealism so what we are not allowed
