英国新闻听力 泰国法院裁决没收他信14亿美元资产（在线收听）

The British government has defended the reputation of its domestic security service MI5 after a judge questioned what he called the dubious record of some of its staff. The Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Britain had the finest intelligence service in the world, and MI5 did not use torture or ask others to torture on its behalf. He was responding to comments by a judge who said it appeared that MI5 officials had not told the truth when they denied knowledge of the alleged torture of a British resident Binyam Mohamed in American custody. Rob Broomby reports.

The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that the intelligence services could not defend themselves in public against many of the allegations made about them, but he could. He said he had every confidence that their work did not undermine the principles and values that were the best guarantees of future security. "We do not torture or ask others to do so on our behalf", he said. The home secretary said he was deeply disappointed by the criticism of the security services, but calls for a judicial inquiry to establish whether MI5 turned a blind eye to torture continue to mount.

The Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that anyone plotting against the elected government will face punishment.

The message from Tayyip Erdogan could hardly have been clearer. The days when soldiers could intervene whenever they judged a government to be going off course, he said, are over.

"No one is above the law, no one has impunity," he told the gathering of party loyalists in Ankara, "those who make plans behind closed doors will face justice."
