9:03 am
now throughout the last few hours there have been ambulances scurrying forwards and backwards carrying to be injured we know that some people have been seriously injured the israeli police have been responding with rounds of rubber bullets and tear gas it's also been using a vehicle to spray water cannons at the protesters but they've also emitted a device that has this all fall smell and that has been an effort to try and push the crowds you see behind me further into the city of ramallah it was activated a machine that looks very high sound frequency that too and if it to get protesters to disperse at the same time the protesters themselves have been hurling huge chunks of concrete at the israeli border police we are witnessing the same kinds of scenes at other checkpoints across the west bank because the west bank at this stage is in shutdown not elsewhere in jerusalem israeli police are on high alert we know that there have been scenes of violence arrests and raced at the old city
9:04 am
of jerusalem in the west bank we're hearing reports of an eight year old who has been injured and as i mentioned earlier at the israel gaza checkpoint reports of at least five people injured and reports of one person killed. paula one might assume that or today's demonstrations are just limited to the area surrounding you but we understand here at r.t. that actually has a much broader geographical locations. yes this demonstration really has been dubbed the global march to jerusalem and we've witnessed support from some eighty two countries and that is why israeli embassies throughout europe and the united states are also in the highest state of alert as protesters gathered in front of these embassies to show the support to today's landmark demonstrations and essentially the message is one of support for the palestinian people and a call for israel to end its occupation now along the israeli jordanian border we
9:05 am
are receiving reports that at least some twenty to thirty thousand people have gathered there and that is according to jordanian reports there are is as of yet no reports of violence coming out of jordan but we do understand that the situation there is incredibly tense along the israel lebanon border we live in these army is on a state of high alert we know that some two to three thousand protesters have gathered there at the moment the mood there is rather cheerful we are witnessing scenes of families who've gathered along the border waving palestinian flags really to mark their support for the palestinian cause and also participating in these demonstrations is a group that is calling itself jews united against zionism and they too are jewish supporters of the palestinian cause we've been holding up palestinian flags and showing their support for these land day commemorations. joining us live from a checkpoint between ramallah and jerusalem thank you very much and well we have
9:06 am
got live pictures of that we are streaming for you from a checkpoint on the israeli syrian border you can follow and live a dot com latest reports of just one hundred fifty people have been wounded a statement coming out from chief palestinian negotiator sorry america says quote land day for us is a day for our freedom our dignity our independence and we have to continue striving to achieve our stated and our freedom and our independence as a quote there from chief palestinian negotiator side erekat follow the live stream on our website at r.t. dot com. french police have netted around twenty suspected islamicists in a series of raids in several cities across the country and the arrests come just a week after an algerian frenchman mohamed merah killed seven people including to use police have been hunting accomplices but no direct link with him has been confirmed at this point president nicholas sarkozy about
9:07 am
a crackdown on radical islam islam after the recent toulouse massacre said he was inspired by al qaeda so cosy is running a second term for france's top job next month and as artists are are sillier reports the case has become a key tool in order to score political points. mohammed merah was killed by police after thirty two hours seizure into loose 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 made it to the foreground of the discourse is marriage as background shit to me from 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
9:08 am
be criminally punished so that's in addition to psychos east policy of stripping foreign born criminals of their citizenship for their 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 ok only advocating the political change in extremist view is not a crime we have freedom of speech in france and they don't see. restricted. while the french citizen and the east family came to france a very long time ago so. obviously this kind of terrorism. from inside friends of society it's not just something that is imported from the middle east. and you cannot. take away french nationality from a french nationals this is not allowed under the french constitution and then
9:09 am
there's marine le pen 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 on the suspicious trip to places like afghanistan how many mohammed merah are there in the boats and planes that arrive in france full of immigrants how america is perhaps only the tip of the iceberg it's time to reach you on this and the mentalist political religious groups who are killing our children the threat of islamic fundamentalism has been underestimated. i think although it's been announced after these tragic events and 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 are a growing number of immigrants in france about six million of whom are muslims is
9:10 am
being labeled as 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 and are addressing an actual problem or simply the consequences of something more fundamental the core of the problem is it's pretty difficult to create because what is the goal of the problem there doesn't seem to be much consensus on that either does or sylvia r.t. paris so ten minutes past the hour here in moscow spain has passed its deepest of budget cuts yet we had loud public discontent hundreds of thousands of spilled onto the streets across the country on thursday while demonstrators clashed with police and broke windows in barcelona let's not also want to take aggrieved standing by in madrid jake we seen the massive public outrage it's important to note that the government there is a flaw. government barely one hundred days old and yet still the new budget went ahead didn't it. yes it didn't quite severe now we're talking about twenty seven
9:11 am
billion euros in terms of cuts aimed at reducing the deficit to five point three percent of g.d.p. in two thousand and twelve some fees already raised about this figure to resume billion euros moody's credit rating agencies they say that she about forty billion euro need to be cut from the budget to meet that requirement of five point three percent of g.d.p. to some say not enough has been done so far what they are doing is stashing same team sent from all budgets from all the ministries so that throughout the whole of the ministries in spain that i'll include some of those people think should be bring famous allies of education and health care as well they want to bring in some of the protesters and unions in order for development in the future that hasn't occurred in this case now what may allay some fear is it seems that tensions have been kept as has. salaries in some areas civil servants salaries have been kept
9:12 am
as well now this isn't just a problem to do with play when it comes to their deficits and speech stressed quite a lot recently by the italian prime minister that you were taught is that this is something that could spread and infect other countries in the euro zone as well we see that sense of fear today in denmark pass where all the european finance ministers have met and they've agreed to fly will an eight hundred billion euro buy will go to safeguard against any future bailout and spain has really been in everyone's mind when they're talking about that he thinks too big to fail but has the teetering on the brink. convinced it's been clear to see that the trade unions and the government don't see eye to eye on the cuts and the labor of foremost over the past few days we've seen you on the ground level with the protesters what. how they've been saying what's the message. from being here the real pressure gets from
9:13 am
the people who are in the unions themselves if they don't mind austerity understand that there has to be austerity in these tough times but they think certain airspeeds bring pains they should take the cuts should be made at absolutely everywhere and we are talking about health care education also reach your a lot of people down the street yes there is a labor of full this is going to make it easier to sack equal and easier to reduce their wages also in an environment where unemployment is starting in spain is twenty three percent of the population the highs in any developed nation and even higher among the youth for those below the age of twenty five where stands about fifty percent in terms of unemployment that's why we saw a lot of young people out in the streets yes they now the police to get those estimates is about eighty thousand people in the trade a low the uni's pushes as high as eight hundred thousand the worst similar protests and demonstrations take place in valencia also in barcelona and there we saw clashes with police parts of the city set ablaze and windows being smashed all

9:15 am

9:16 am
a peace that doesn't actually exist yet we've seen in the last couple of days an upsurge in the amount of violence from the opposition are reported to have kidnapped a high ranking military pilots and also assassinated two colonels 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 assad to stay in power meanwhile assad is very angry about this support that's being provided to the opposition from the international community he says that countries have to stop providing money and weapons the opposition immediately if this plan is to succeed he's calling the opposition terrorists of course kofi annan himself has come out and said that the deadline for a cease fire is now and that the regime in syria should end a gesture of good faith to be the first to step down course in a bilateral cease fire it's very difficult to time these things it's very unlikely
9:17 am
that assad 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. the porter right that one i mean time political analyst patrick henderson says that the only way to help syria out of a conflict is to promote dialogue not take sides it's unbelievable how it's got to this point where it seems ok to fund the opposition whatever form it is and you know let's not kid ourselves the u.s. and the u.k. have been attacking guerrilla forces in syria for the last year that has been happening that's been admitted by the u.s. state department has been admitted by the u.k. foreign office and all the sudden they're backpedaling now saying that it's all you know nice arab spring nonmilitary intervention and we're going to help the opposition it doesn't work if they want to help syria to engage the syrian government in diplomatic talks on neutral ground it's quite quite clear that president assad is not going to. you know except to close c.n.n.
