8:02 am
watching live pictures here on r.t. all morning and afternoon now the current situation where you are now. well the mood here at the kalandia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah is tense indeed for the last few hours israeli border police have been gathering and hurling rounds of tear gas as well as water canisters at the protesters if you see just a short distance behind me now the palestinian member of parliament most of about bootie was here a short time ago he was hit in the head by a water canister we understand he's in a serious condition in hospital and we also receiving other reports of injuries as the violence here continues with no signs of yet of it abating in any way house where in jerusalem there is a very high police presence particularly around the damascus gate entrance into the old city now there police are on horseback there are also patrolling israeli arab cities and we hear into reports of injuries coming out of jerusalem in gaza we know
8:03 am
that at least one youngster has been killed five people have been injured among them a journalist who is in a serious condition in hospital reports are receiving from jordan are at that at least twenty thousand demonstrators have gathered along the israeli jordanian border we are hearing from the lebanese side that demonstrators are also gathering along the israeli living on border and that is army has beefed up its security there but no reports yet of injuries or any kind of chaos along the border points but here along the jerusalem checkpoint of kalandia the ambulances have been scurrying forwards and backwards we know that people are injured but we waiting to hear just how serious those injuries are paula we are according to hamas spokesman israel one here said a message saying quote today we send a message to the occupation that they must leave our land must stop the jewish takeover of jerusalem
8:04 am
a message there to those supporters of palestinians among their plight but also the palestinian authorities supporters to hold demonstrations not just in the area where you are but also worldwide. well today's demonstration marked a landing day but it has been dubbed the global march to jerusalem so certainly the focal point is here near jerusalem and in the west bank and elsewhere there are demonstrators gathering in the capital cities of european countries as well as various cities across the united states and they'd have been gathering around the israeli embassies which have beefed up this security out of concern that it could be violence and chaos at these israeli high points the constant west bank is shut down and this is as israel raises its alert to the highest level as i say similar scenes as what you see here have been unfolding at various checkpoints between israel and the palestinian west bank and it various israeli arab cities this global
8:05 am
march to jerusalem according to organizers is a non violent event so the certainly is from the palestinian side and the israeli side if we effort to try and make sure that there are no injuries and no deaths but certainly that is going to be quite hard to maintain as tensions run high and passions are inflated as we witnessing here at the kalandia checkpoint. at the checkpoint between ramallah and jerusalem i think for the day we're checking with you throughout the day here on out. we have got of the live pictures that are being streamed out from the checkpoint of the israeli syrian border we're streaming it on our website r.t. dot com you can head there to see what is happening right now. or a story as in this hour here on the program. people are tightening their belts. space race this. slave race itself massive budget cuts deemed to be the

toughest it almost four decades is just a day after hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of the country to protest. the camera tricks a picture of you is able to compare it to your driver's license photo and. marina was on the corner of forty second of the three o'clock. or so private life anymore as even your home appliances could soon start spying on you know u.s. surveillance plans shortly here on our team. the. french police have netted around twenty suspected it is the most so in a series of raids in several cities around the country and the arrests come just a week after an algerian frenchman mohamed merah killed seven people into those police have been hunting grounds accomplices but with no direct link soviet being

found president nicolas sarkozy for the meantime about a crackdown on radical islam ism after the toulouse massacre said he was inspired by al qaeda president sarkozy is running for the second term for france's top job next month and as our reports cases become a key tool to score political points. mohamed merah was killed by police after thirty two hours seizure and to lose his life may have ended that day but his story has given france's presidential hopefuls an excuse for electioneering with ever more radical rhetoric. that's given rise to a huge political debate and what's needed to the foreground of the discourse is marriage as a background sheet to nearly from now on anyone who regularly consults internet sites which promote terror or hatred or violence will be sentenced to prison any person going abroad for the purposes of indoctrination in terrorist ideology will
8:08 am
be criminally punished so that's in addition to sarkozy's policy of stripping foreign born criminals of their citizenship further tightening border control saying there are too many foreigners in france and promising to bar radical muslim preachers from entering the country to participate in an islamic conference next month but clearly advocating the political change in extreme is you it's not a crime we have freedom of speech in france and they don't see. it's. was a french citizen and the east family came to france a very long time ago so. obviously this kind of terrorism. from inside french society it's not just something that is imported from in the middle east. and you cannot. take away french nationality from the french nationals this is not. the french constitution and then there's money in the pen
8:09 am
the far right national front party candidate having long pushed a more radical anti immigration line call for the revival of the death penalty for child killers and the deportation of any foreigner who goes in a suspicious trip to places like afghanistan how many mohamed merah are there in the boats and planes that arrive in france full of immigrants how did memorize perhaps only the tip of the iceberg it's time to go on this from the mentalist political religious groups who are killing our children the threat of islamic fundamentalism has been underestimated. i think all that's been announced after these tragic events are proposals put forward solely for the election it goes to the one who proposes the most radical solutions which would aim supposedly at solving the problem but the problem is much deeper with our of the growing number of immigrants in france about six million of whom are muslims is being labeled as
8:10 am
a problem by some prominent figures politicians are throwing around what they call solutions but the question is whether any of these policy ideas on immigration or security are realistic that are addressing an actual problem or simply the consequences of something more fundamental the core of the call a musical tribute if you can go through it because what is the goal of all the problem there doesn't seem to be much consensus on that either does or sylvia r.t. paris. ten minutes past the hour here in moscow this is r.t. spain is set to pass its deepest budget cuts yet all amid loud public discontent hundreds of thousands of spilled out of the streets all across the country on thursday demonstrators clashed with police and broke windows in barcelona and let's not talk to our teacher who grieve standing by for us live in madrid we've seen massive public outrage but still the new budget is set to go ahead isnt it. yes it is there were budgets in those parts to be very deep and very severe that's because
8:11 am
of the situation facing the spanish government at the moment they failed in two thousand and eleven to reduce that deficit down as much as they would have wanted this year they're saying they have to do ok down to about five point three percent of g.d.p. that's going to mean a lot of slashing when it comes to budgetary funds money that means that very few areas are likely to be safe from this now the spanish prime minister said it's going to be a very austere budget what i mean would like to see about thirty five billion euros being slashed so the ministry will face cuts but also the more controversial areas as well those who many would see safeguards are going to see education health care talks as well you also saw those protests those are sparked by controversial labor reform bills essentially making it easier to fire people and also reduce their wages significantly and this isn't being described as just a spanish problem it's something that many fear will infect the rest of the euro
8:12 am
zone that's what many leaders of we were taught seen recently we've seen that today in denmark where we've had european finance ministers meeting and they've been scuffling in the green upon a follow world at eight hundred billion euro fire wall to shore up against any future paid out that's principally aimed at countries like italy and right now like spain who many say are too big to go bust but are currently teetering on the brink of trade unions and the government don't see eye to eye on the cuts and the labor reforms are certainly over the past couple of days we've seen you reporting from the think of the protesters on the streets what are the people there actually saying. essentially the same as we understand the need in this situation to moments with their issues where they should be targeted and i don't think the spanish government at the moment is told the right areas you mentioned health care education and the want of reading sponsored anger yesterday was that of those labor
8:13 am
reform bills that's why the general strike was organized and that saw it we saw hundreds of thousands of people around the country taking to the streets here madrid who police estimate is about eighty thousand years but it eight hundred thousand and that's what the square was packed out to the full and there was a lot of angry sentiment from young people and the reason behind this is spain is facing a problem of unemployment about twenty three percent of the nation unemployed that's even more startling when you look at the younger people those below the age of twenty five they're about fifty percent of the population unemployed this problem being felt by them we also saw protests taking place in berlin and barcelona boss knowing it difficult because there is aside from peaceful process that the largest or madrid there are clashes with police or parts of the city being set ablaze as well and windows being smashed there were arrests made and looks upon large that regardless of that message regards to that sense it's being sent by
8:14 am
a lot of people at the moment is the government is going to be passing a very austere budget. increase their reporting from madrid thank you. nato states may be supporting a u.n. peace plan for a cease fire from all sides in syria but the u.s. and its allies are firmly backing the rebels as well. to funnel additional aid to the opposition worth hundreds of thousands of pounds amid reports they're already getting weapons from abroad. with reports from london. this money that the u.k. has pledged amounts to eight hundred thousand dollars and represents a doubling of the funding that's being given to the opposition we're expecting other countries to follow suit including the u.s. seventy one nation saying on sunday it's a group that calls itself the friends of syria this is the second meeting that they
8:15 am
and in fact it seems from their agenda that they are not in fact friends of syria they're in fact friends of the syrian opposition and the goals of the meeting that they're holding on sunday includes you know icing really focus on you know saying this this famously disparate opposition that we see in syria and whilst at the same time thinking up new measures to increase pressure on the regime so it's a very one sided strategy that they've got going on who has also said recently that he's looking at borrowing u.n. peacekeeping troops from various regions to try and influence a peace that doesn't actually exist yet we've seen in the last couple of days in the amount of violence from the opposition are reported to have kidnapped a high ranking military pilot and also assassinated two from the army on thursday so that looks like the opposition is stepping up its attacks in fact the opposition says that it won't contemplate even negotiating on anything which would allow for our side to stay in power meanwhile is very angry about this support that's being
8:16 am
provided to the opposition from the international community he says that countries have to stop providing money and weapons to the opposition immediately if this plan is to succeed he's calling the opposition terrorists of course himself has come out and said that the deadline for a cease fire is now and that the regime in syria should you know in a gesture of good faith be the first to step down course in a bilateral cease fire it's very difficult to time these things it's very unlikely that our side will volunteer to be the first to step down so we're really not any any further forward but if the situation develops any further. laura smith reporting right here for us on the program let's talk about our top story that have a many palestinians indeed in fact thousands of them are commemorating the land day event we've been streaming live pictures for you on r.t. r t dot com as well here we are going into a checkpoint on the golan heights here certainly hundreds if not thousands of
