why you should care only. the new chinese president is in moscow on his first overseas trip or since taking office with a true economic giant as they came to bolster they share clout in the global arena . i. panic and frustration in cyprus as citizens of fear losing their savings and politicians a race against time to avoid a default. and cracks emergency or is main rebel force or with some opposition activists claiming the group is being guided by islam as a radicals. thank . god. that

she pm here in moscow you live with us on our t.v. i'm to bomb would say with the latest international news. catching other chinese a wind in russia's economic sails so that's what the russia's president vladimir putin says he's aiming to do at len marks are talks in moscow with the new chinese a leader xi jinping a big donor rochelle for his for his trip abroad or since assuming call earlier this month our correspondent nowhere joins us live and is a quite a symbolic choice for his first trip isn't it. certainly let's not forget that vladimir putin picked china as his first stop in this term as president now the favor is being returned sitting paying his first visit abroad here to russia certainly not a coincident at least that's not the way it's being seen but as a sign a symbol even a message perhaps to other leaders to other nations that this partnership is

a strong one and it's only growing at the forefront economic cooperation and a joint interest to break the washington consensus around the world and transform the global stage into a multi-polar one. pushing two powers together a common goal to shift global balance is forging a tie between russia and china that could soon be unbreakable a new chinese leader his first stop moscow some think surely washington must notice but is brushing off no they don't take it seriously at their own peril russia and china fellow brics major trade partners and team players at the u.n. security council are there too often stand up against intervention and to gresham mosco and beijing are seen really impacts of nature back to tax and they don't want the instability that washington seeks in the middle east beijing and moscow want to

do business china is booming and russia is right next door the potential for gas deals and pipelines are vast as soon as the two can agree on a price russia also sees china as a way to diversify its economy like helping tap untouched water sources in the east and investing in the west now they could join forces on cooperation military that is the inevitable i think result of the to take us that even pacific pivot that is is threatening china on one side and. the mido increasing military encircled into russia on the other side the more the u.s. pushes its agenda in certain parts of the world the closer they push russia and china together that opens the door for growth and enormous economic ramifications the nations that make up the brics group may be divergent but experts now see they are much more than an acronym point by

a guy at goldman sachs. and the brics are developing fast they agree on all of the fundamentals that is they want a multi-polar world and they want to have more say on what happens in it geo politically now when you have the world's biggest country joint heads with potentially the world's largest economy and economic force that becomes a very powerful potential just talking about the brics a group but tell us a little bit more about how big a role it plays on the world stage well first off they want to play a bigger role but what they need to do is put their money where their mouth is that's the short answer according to the lead singer to putin the main goal now is to move from a dialogue based format that focuses on smaller issues more relative to them to a full scale strategic cooperation mechanism that focuses on solving key global issues together in order for them to do that they need to push forward with their

plans of a brics development bank that could counter institutions like the i.m.f. and they said no way they're following a she. visit here to moscow. right angry crowds have descended on the seepage of parliament with politicians such a vote on an alternative plan to raise funds and avoid a painful default. these are live pictures from the capital new protests demanding that the head of the country's central bank. restructuring of banks as part of a rescue plan a move which could inevitably lead to layoffs the country's banks have been paralyzed for almost a week and speculation they want to be again and as hard says a report people are preparing for the worst. all of this panic this negativity started of course on the announcement over the weekend from brussels that in order

to get a ten billion euro bailout package cyprus will have to cough up about five point eight billion and the suggestion was to impose a tax on. causes ninety one percent of cypriots according to a poll have been against. we've seen protests on the streets of people angry really . and specifically a germany they feel of the country has been cornered into a position where they really have no choice but to take a very hard decision now here's what some of the cypriots feel right now towards europe. where the mood here in nicosia cyprus remains rather negative it seems of the people feel that they're receiving one after another the latest the european central bank will only continue to provide liquidity to the country until monday and after that it will only continue to do so if there is an i.m.f. program in. there really is

a problem on the ground cypriots going out to early in the morning trying to get as much cash as they could have told me that the limit on their cars of amount that they could take for the bank has been lowered we've also been speaking to some shopkeepers they're really having a problem big losses in their business and it's been a headache for them since this started. my business. down over seventy percent in just the last few days. you really read that. and one of the direct effects of the three national predicament you can already feel on the ground here the size of it put up only cash no visa cards allowed at this gas station we really want to hold on to as much cash as they could as the banks will be closed until next week and really they're not confident that the banks will reopen when the government said it just to be safe you can see the size if you don't have cash you won't get. to pay for our people.

something we have to pay in cash so we take on the question now as the political leaders along with the financial sector here try to figure out a way to maneuver the country out of this predicament the people are simply sitting tight trying to hold on against it was much cash as they can because really for them the main concern is how to get through these next few days when they've already experienced being in limbo for the past week reporting for nicosia cyprus. the cypriot parliament right now on her twitter feed she says local journalists all surprised over. police have been. so as i look local takes a full side president is a wondrous hero option has evaporated the island state and russia have failed to agree on any deal during the cypriot a finance minister's visit to moscow. reports. the finance minister of russia

and light in dust on the situation saying that the proposal by the cypriot finance minister to create a joint state company allowing russian access to the natural resources exploration fields on the island did not receive any interest from the russian investment companies and that's why the talks failed he also added that the matter of providing the cyprus with an emergency loan from russia was not even considered. simply for the fact that cyprus has a certain limit imposed by the european union on the loans it can get from other countries and by getting another loan from russia. it would have breached this limit and violated the internal economic agreements of the european union definity brussels remains probably the last solution for the cypriot economy but it's not so easy here as well apart from all the regulations and all the limits that the e.u.

has imposed on cyprus it also demands that cyprus must impose the much maligned deposit tax in order to receive the bailout loan there is a certain dissent growing on the island now the head of the parliament saying that the parliament will probably will vote without considering the e.u. regulations and this leads many experts to believe that cyprus may even pull out from the eurozone in the some nearest future because of all these regulations by the european union besides the bailout loan from the european european union as experts say would not solve the economic problems of the island completely that you can see it will still have to find some money elsewhere and that is the biggest question of course where it will find these this money on top of that old brussels has once again reiterated that can even the head of the talks in moscow that it doesn't need the russian capital in order to solve its domestic and its internal

economic problems so certainly with even without the finance minister we are in for some interesting and probably some difficult talks here in moscow we will certainly update our viewers on the situation as we get it. economists that harry being a member of the free voters poteen germany explained why the e.u. and berlin in particular are being so heavy handed with cyprus but don't forget that we are heading for elections in germany rescue packages that we have gone through in the past have been totally unpopular with the german taxpayer and going ahead now with a simple solution to what we've got in the past you just cannot sell it to the german taxpayer i guess that's an issue as well also you don't you shouldn't forget that those negotiations go she a she's with a cyprus are very complicated every party has to keep up its bargaining power and so. it's like a mystery you know and you have to be on guard you have to bluff and god knows what

will happen and us germans we're not saying that we shouldn't help cyprus but the germans told that at the end of the dying day the money the loans the guarantees whatever you want to call it does not support the people in cyprus it's supporting the banks that's supporting the bank owners it's supporting wall street and supporting them the big one people and that's the whole issue here coming up after the break how a russian company is set to become the world's largest oil producer. we are facing a lot of problems in the. because no one thought to drink no good school. but no permits when you feel part.

of the local what's not going up up is a law in the local needs you might want to community l.n.g. molten would be used. at all and you could. give to dunford for a match up artist i was fights about i must fight. i'll fight. the fight for right.

place. i. her been living this way to seventeen. different reclusion strict. their community. they clearly distinguish between their own and the alien.

and guard their family and think. thanks for staying with us and this is our team russia's energy giant said to become the world's biggest oil producer the company has put the final touches to its approaches of russia's a third largest crude producer k b p from british and the russian shareholders are just as are further as the details of the deal already dubbed historic. it's going

to make the world's biggest oil producer displacing exxon mobil from the top spot but it's also going to secure more than forty percent of russian oil production in the hands of the states the experts are saying it could take years to fully integrate the two companies into a single synchronized unit so there's lots of joint work ahead under the deal b.p. will own roughly twenty percent making it the largest shareholder of the state that's such an ungodly have another difficult task on their hands this week and that's going to be to make sure that they can iron out their differences and see why. the hunger strike among guantanamo bay prisoners has entered a forty fifth a day a point that could become critical for inmates health according to doctors rights groups claim more than one hundred detainees are refusing food over mistreatment while the pentagon maintains that the number is much lower the strike has brought

to the plight of prisoners a back into the headlines at least one former u.k. resident is being kept there without charge or reports on the british government's response r.t. turned to the u.k. foreign office for their position and we can have a listen to the statement that we received back right now the u.k. has long held that indefinite detention review a fair trial is unacceptable and we welcome president obama's continuing commitment to closing the detention facility at guantanamo bay and to maintain the sustainable and principled regime for the handling of detainees. so quite an anodyne text read that sounds like it could be in some serious need of updating actually it refers to us president obama's continuing commitment to closing down the prison now the closure of guantanamo bay was actually one of us president obama's main campaign promises back in the two thousand and eight presidential election it's something

he's spoken about a lot it's a promise he's made repeatedly yet. later and nothing has happened in fact the only shutting down that's taken place recently is the closure of the government office that's charged with transferring the detainees and closing down the prison so just to recap in case that sounds in any way peculiar they've closed down the office that's meant to close down guantanamo bay and the british foreign office supports this continuing commitment to shutting down the facility shakir i am a has been languishing at guantanamo bay for over eleven years now and quite astonishingly this is a man who's never been charged with any wrongdoing he's never been put on trial he's been cleared for release twice yet he's still there the british government's efforts to negotiate his release have been few they've been feeble and most

importantly they've been completely and utterly fruitless so the red cross human rights watch amnesty international they've all expressed frustration that they haven't been allowed to visit detainees they condemned was been taking place at the facility for over a decade now but at the same time over here in the u.k. there's been a little more than a peep from the mainstream media both about shakar amma and about guantanamo bay in general with this little awareness of the situation shachar armors future is very much uncertain. meanwhile it appears prisoner treat mistreatment is not so rare in the u.s. had to r.t. dot com to see how one inmate was restrained and then pepper spray before being left unattended at a jail in maine there's a leg to the situation on our website. at least forty nine people including a top sunni muslim preacher have been killed in

a suicide bomb attack and i'm asking central damascus the blast occurred with the mosque packed with worshippers who had gathered for evening prayers more than eighty people were injured in the explosion which authorities are suspected targeted the cleric. stanch a supporter of president bashar assad is the first time since the start of the uprising that there's been a suicide attack in a mosque report has it entails. the most shocking news and most details that after the bomb they discovered another bomb which is the door of the mosque and. happily the happy news that it wasn't exploded. they managed to or dissolve it inside the mosque of mr macdonald beauty which is one of the most important school in syria and one of the most important one in the islamic word he is the one who was targeted mainly because. he was suppose he was considered a supporter of the. syrian government and he made some strong speeches every

friday trying to convince people to join the army and the fight for their country and he was he was under a lot of threats around the time of the and said rest in syria but he insisted on his and his position i did not change into becoming one of this one of the people who are with the revolution and with the rest. meanwhile cracks are appearing in the n.t. asserted syrian national coalition after the election of a new prime minister to govern rebel held areas election of u.s. citizen carson heater led twelve members of the body to resign from the umbrella opposition group. who took part in the n.t. as. the coalition is being guided by islamist radicals. they're there for. the coalition went too far forming a monochrome government which we can characterize as extremist the reason behind

this is the mechanisms that we used to be selection of the head of government were wrong and under the ground this coalition wasn't elected it was appointed and radicals make up the majority it does not match the reality of syrian society if this coalition was the result of free and fair elections then we would have accepted the results of the vote should not deprive syrian minorities of the right to participate in britain who right as one should not bribe the syrian liberal political groups of their rights at this stage of rebuilding our own the coalition should not be about revolutionary power it should be about legitimate government and legitimate government should represent the opinions and interests of the whole syrian nation our position is balanced and we see that what we are seeing now is wrong. now could look at some other international news in brief invite as well as capital caracas or several hundred students have pleasure with supporters of the late charge as soon as demanded that the government and the lection council lot of

use its position and power in the coming election police used tear gas and plastic bullets to disperse the crowds forming a call drawn between the two sides the country's elections are scheduled for april fourteenth with experts predicting a win for top a successor nicolas maduro. former french president nicolas sarkozy has been placed under investigation for alleged corruption during the two thousand and seven presidential campaign the ruling follows a three year long inquiry accusing so cozy of taking illegal donations from france's the richest woman areas betancourt here's a lawyers say you'll appeal the decision calling it incoherent and say prosecutors will now decide whether to put the ex-president on trial. president obama's middle east tour has been greeted with mixed feelings both in israel and palestine with no tangible results despite his calls for peace the palestinian public who greeted the

u.s. leader with protests were disappointed by his show over unwavering allegiances to israel and like of pressure over the issue of settlements in the west bank obama was more restrained on the issue than before saying that a halting settlement expansion should not be a precondition for peace at a meeting with the palestinian leader as for israel during his two days they obama seemed keen to repaired tens of relations with the country's prime minister with signs of discord on issues like iran with still clearly visible still it's obama's a stance of clearly favoring one side of the conflict that is making peace prospects ever more distant this view of palestinian political and social activism . obama proved to be a very good speaker he gave a great speech yesterday but again palestinians do not expect wars they expect actions and in terms of action obama has been the most pro israeli president u.s.

president in history the american administration kept supporting israel military diplomatically economically and that's exactly what palestinian question how can a president who wants to promise peace. take one side and keeps granting phone support unconditionally. while ignoring the palestinian plight he indeed mentioned some of the injustices palestinians traced but at the same time he is the one who is totally complicit under sponsible in those in creating those injustices and in maintaining those injustices twenty years of negotiation have they given nothing to the palestinian have changed totally that. on the ground the number of of settlers in the west. repelled in those twenty years continuous repression of the palestinian people learn get up confiscation house the militia displacement of people continued and actually anyone i invite anyone to come and

see the ality on the ground the two thirds solution that obama is applauding all the time is that. stay with us as we take a look at the everyday life of rebel fighters in the oil rich mines. jorge rios an argentinean student at seventeen other similar students from foreign countries all paid a private company between three thousand and four thousand dollars so that they get to take part in a u.s. state department work study program he was promised forty hours of work per week at a common fast food restaurant with a decent salary but the reality he claims was quite different he was actually only

given around four hours of work per week what was expected to be on call twenty four seven like a surgery i guess in case of some burger emergency he says he was forced to live in accommodations that were provided by the restaurant real six plane that he had to sleep in a child size bunk bed in a basement with seven other people in filthy conditions and for this service he had to pay the restaurant three hundred dollars a month overall real swallowed up paying the burger joint to work for them what a way to not make a living all though the story sounds funny on the surface many foreigners in work and study and work in travel programs do experience exploitation upon arrival in the usa i've even personally met some of them so i know but more than that in a time when millions of americans are struggling to put food on the kitchen table why are companies searching for thousands of exploitable foreigners to work for two dollars an hour cheaper it is corporate greed and their absolute disrespect for americans that allows this to happen just pay the extra two dollars and have

americans work for you to cheap corporate pigs but that's just my opinion. i take careful note of people on those things i jump over old school. i know but i bring my dozens of them myself with them. as i don't want to go to. class if we've . got come to agreement. so lie. every cause i want to hear his going to go find out i've got an agreement which is only to government fell because i want to kill him. and. there's trouble

and i don't are strong. and i'm giving them problems. he. does because i said if you give us the right. foot. back and he john kerry the villagers go about their lives in close proximity to the militants for fun fishermen contemplate the choices young men must make and faced with the challenge of being poor in the niger delta flight dad.
