UN CALLS FOR PROSECUTIONS OVER US TORTURE

Senior United Nations officials are calling for the prosecution of US officials after a report detailing CIA interrogation of al Qaeda suspects.

The Senate report describes techniques used as 'brutal'.

The UN's Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism Ben Emmerson says figures from President George Bush's administration should be prosecuted.

And while questions are still being asked about the UK's role in the rendition of some terror suspects for the US - current British Prime Minister David Cameron is condemning the practices outlined in the Senate report.

IN: "Torture is...
OUT: ...authority."
