from the kremlin what a news conference is a to begin scene. and guantanamo bay officials acknowledge the number of hunger strikes at the detention center is growing while human rights groups with the figure at over one hundred. seven pm here in a moscow you live with us on our t.v. with me to bomb would say it's good to have your company with us now we're going straight into our breaking news this hour we are receiving reports of the protesters have stormed the muslim brotherhood headquarters in the age of sion capital of cairo how does a build true is there for us right now bell what's going on around you how violent it is of the protest. seem to streets away from the machismo

headquarters in the capital a great distance have yet to take into the buildings how do they offer you can also again. i'm just going to currently akash a very seeing people occurring brought such each other sounds of gunfire as i change the costume so it's a billion carrying guns. that become part of the retreating from people coming off the front lines that covered in blood the courage. that he wanted to quote from the brotherhood on the psyche don't play between the same thing happening to whites but . basically taking charge fees. during these really very bloody clashes that come to court so i'm often off week said seven from the same area when gennesaret led to the attack by. men as they were filming and become a great running. graffiti on the walls of. this cried on the streets with the talking them including our t.v.

cameraman he received a head to head injury can agree that it's right at that moment in the camp and i think caution to really ask and i think. quite a few can point. me to. very predictable conditions you find yourself a but do keep us updated and of course will unravel the story as it continues to throughout the evening. riot police have called on to off these support column and as angry crowds descended on the legislature a day running the protesters are urging the government not to bend to e.u. pressure russell's once a stupid comment to push through a highly unpopular tax could wipe out a ten percent of people savings the proposal has already been rejected once but there's growing concern that cyprus a will be forced to accept it the country's banks have been paralyzed almost a week now and holds up people are bracing themselves for the worst. of all of this

a 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 at the suggestion was to impose a back to levy tax on back holders deposits now ninety one percent of cypriots according to a poll have been against. back tax and there we've seen protests on the streets of people angry really at the e.u. at the troika 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 i believe. this is one of the yeah if you need good news for everybody she's going to start going over there we're going to produce results look for this stuff the first plane should be asia and they didn't have these should usually just for

economy women resume is arguably just one of the institution the russians or the sight of friends. on the border well the mood here in nicosia cyprus remains rather negative it seems of the people feel that they're receiving one bad news after another the latest being that 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 was an i.m.f. program in place now this means that the really is a cash problem on the ground cypriots going out to a.t.m.'s early in the morning trying to get as much cash as they could as some have told me that there's a limit on their cars to the amount that they can take for the bank has changed has been lowered they've also been speaking to some shopkeepers they're really having a problem be seen big losses in their business and it's been a headache for them since this started. my business is down over seventy percent in just the last few days. and you really read that.

and one of the direct effects of the financial predicament cyprus is you can already feel on the ground here the size of it put up only cash no visa cards allowed at this gas station they really want to hold on to was 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 would 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 was the political leaders along with the financial sector here try to figure out a way to maneuver the country out of this predicament that people are simply sitting tight trying to hold on again was much cash as they can because really for them their main concern is how to get through these next few days when they've already experienced being in limbo for the past week reporting from nicosia cyprus

. following other developments in the super capital for us and posting regular updates and pictures among the latest from home is that crisis battered greece has pledged. around six hundred million euros now chancellor angela merkel is now warning. quote not to test the boundaries of the troika's patients and quote that's after one avenue of rescue deal with rochelle all but evaporates nicosia and moscow failed to agree on a rescue plan after intense negotiations in the russian capital. picks up the story . prime minister medvedev said that russia will be willing to provide any needed assistance to rescue the cypriot economy only when brussels and you can see a find a common language on the ways out of this crisis this came shortly after the cypriot finance minister said that he had not received any help he was willing to

get in a moscow and left the russian capital the proposals by the cypriot finance minister of joint company between cyprus and russia on exploring the natural resources fields on the island did not meet any interest on the russian investment companies and the chance of russia providing an emergency loan to the island was not even considered because cyprus is under a certain limit imposed by the european union of having loans from other countries and by getting this loan from russia it would have violated this limit and certainly violated the internal economic agreements within the european union so that's where the talks between cyprus and russia stalled that's why the finance minister had to leave moscow in some way that indeed the european union is the final straw for the island for cyprus but here things are not also quite easy because brussels still insists that cyprus must impose the much maligned deposit

tax something of course which is causing controversy and protests on the island and also apart from all other regulations analysts are saying that the bailout loan itself would not completely rescue the cypriot economy because it's much more money will be needed to rescue this situation and you can see it will have to find the money elsewhere and certainly this remains a big question where it could find their money apart from that certainly there's a certain political wrangling happening between brussels and the casea with the head of the cypriot parliament saying that they will vote on the alternative plan. without considering the limitations and regulations of the european union and at the same time angela merkel stressed that i quote cyprus must behave accordingly with the european union regulations and must not test the boundaries of the troika basis and of quote so definitely this is

a rollercoaster ride and as it stands cyprus may be plunging into a default unless any kind of common language and compromise is found any time soon the super government is due to present to the e.u. and i.m.f. with a new plan dubbed plan b. to secure a bailout but andrey as a who's a candidate for the bavarian paul amanda says the upcoming germany elections are false i'm going to get tough on cyprus now we are in a complicated situation and why the european union is so harsh i cannot explain for chancellor merkel it's the elections upcoming in september. that's why she demands that the people of cyprus have to. carry birds your however for me this cannot be a loose solution you cannot solve this situation by adding debt like the ten

billion now the european union is too great as a no one as a guarantee whatever about this will be no sustainable solution will put it bloomed those austerity to the people of cyprus they did it for us and now they change years because because of the upcoming elections voters will not go on with the government policy like this. catching the chinese wind in russia's economic sails that's what russia's president vladimir putin says he's aiming to do during that month talks in moscow with the new chinese leader we're now looking at live pictures of the two leaders who are just waiting there to give a joint a news conference at the kremlin and you can see that journalism from both china and wall skin all around the world to sit in there taking questions with the two

leaders now key energy deals have already been signed including on the construction of a gas pipeline to china the world's biggest energy consumer president xi jinping chose a russia as his for as a foreign destination since taking office earlier this month and just to remind you that it approved and also chose china for his first trip after being elected for his current term to the new somalia has a more on the ever strengthening partnership between the two policy fun let's not forget dinner putin picked china as his first stop in this term as president now the favor is being returned shooting ping's first visit are brought here to russia certainly not a coincidence and 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 something surely washington must notice what is brushing off no they don't take it seriously at their peril russia and china so brics major trade partners and team. they are said the u.n. security council were there too often stand up against intervention and to gresham mosco and beijing a scene we impact 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 the cities the two can agree on the high 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 result of the to tell us that even pacific could with that is is threatening china on one side and the need to increasing military encircled and the russians 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 what they need to do is put their money where their mouth is that's the short answer according to the lead singer of 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. . for more on the growing partnership between russia and china let's now talk live to a file upon tucci co-founder of the young china watches professional network was up on two g. choosing russia as a first foreign destination any special significance to that all is she's in pain just returning ready made a speech is polite gesture at the start of his term well i think the important thing to remember here is that. as you said president putin made beijing his first

stop and she didn't things precisely who made moscow his first stop when he was promoted to this position within the party so it's not entirely surprising that he tipping is choosing to go to moscow now china's economic growth is unraveled to so far many will the partnership continue to be equally beneficial for beijing and moscow in the coming years. yes i think clearly these are two partners that do a lot of work together however i think we have to be careful not to overstate the substance behind the relationship yes they do a lot together and on the international stage they agree about a lot of things however there are also difficulties i think i don't believe that we've seen that during this visit this time they have managed to come to some sort of resolution about the gas pricing dispute that's been going on for over a decade now so it's not. a partnership that works in every front if that was actually going to be my next question about being too big countries with too big.

too big powers they could be rivals instead of allies what else do you foresee in terms of you know stuff that they wouldn't agree on i mean we know that the gas pricing is one issue what other issues do you foresee that they might not necessarily agree with well i would suspect that in some cases russia takes maybe more confrontational view on issues than china does china does not like go out and confront the. yes go that's a bit harsh rhetoric coming from i mean to say that russia takes a much harsher stance that china most people would say oh i mean for example if we look at issues like syria we look at a question like syria where russia has been quite outspoken in its support of the outside of the assad regime and has been in the forefront of sort of countering western rhetoric against china on the other hand really hasn't said much and stayed very quiet in the background and that's very much in chief and with the chinese approach to international affairs they like to sort of stay much more in the background whereas russia maybe likes to be more forward i would i mean i'm just

following what you say yeah i would say that china has always agreed with what with russia's stance particularly on syria i mean whether they've been there i don't think they have not been vocal to say the least but let's talk about the brig's putin says the brits only they had to help the world economy not to compete with the western states an organization do you think that. i'm sorry could you repeat that question president putin says that the brics group of emerging economies is only there to help the world economy is not to compete with the western states and organizations what do you make of that what i think the brics is still a relatively unformed entity it's not entirely clear to me what it's actually going to do at the moment it seems to be a grouping of up and coming powers that sort of meet regularly and agree on certain things however another things i think they probably disagree as well and also we're

dealing with five countries here they're very different stages of this sort of development path rafał upon two g. co-founder of the young china watchers professional network thank you so much for your time and being an i.t. thank. you to russia and china has been growing steadily in recent years an artist kitty pilgrim has more details on the numbers and the types of deals being struck. just to give you an idea as to how much money can be made trade is forecast to exceed one hundred billion dollars in it fifteen after already growing over ten percent last year now by twenty twenty we could be looking at two hundred billion dollars trade. a lot of it is energy so we are talking about oil as well we've got eagle search in the head of ross nasser the world's biggest or producer now are set to meet the new leader of china he's going to be discussing an increase

of exports to china which could equate to a one million barrels a day by twenty eight tain and it's not just energy deals going on though we've also got delivery of arms contracts as well being discussed so really it's straight to business. and let's go back to our breaking news story this hour angry protesters have stronger the central headquarters of the muslim brotherhood in cairo these are live pictures of from the gyptian capital i would say that supporters of the slightest movement are being bussed in the to you cairo hundreds of police are on the streets are trying to prevent the violence from spreading just to remind you that on thursday a panel of egyptian judges will rule that the muslim brotherhood should be banned these are live pictures from the egyptian capital cairo we are keeping a close eye on how the events unfold and we'll keep you updated as soon as we get

more information on what's happening. thank you.

a oh so. thanks for staying with us you're watching our officials at the guantanamo bay detention center in cuba have acknowledged more detainees are joining the hunger strike over alleged mistreatment and human rights groups are representing several inmates has reported the number is now over the one hundred the pentagon though claims that the figure is a much lower the protests now in the forty fifth day which according to doctors

marks a critical point when the body is deprived of food let's cross live a g r t's the energy can form all on that that again what i'll do prison officials as saying about the hunger strike well just this friday morning the spokesperson for one tunnel robert durant responded to ortiz inquiry and here's what he writes take a listen. as of friday we have twenty six hunger strikers with eight receiving enteral feeds this is an increase from thursday which was twenty five and eight we have two detainees in the detainee hospital for rehydration an observation also an entry feat. well and terminal feed it means they're getting nutrition through a feeding tube last time robert zubrin got back to us was last week also on friday saying there were fourteen detainees who refused all food although defense

attorneys have been saying they were making more well now rather julianne says their twenty six we cannot independently verify these numbers or any of this so we have to rely on the response that we get from the officials and the detainees lawyers here's the latest from the attorneys apparently there are now denied direct access to their clients in guantanamo attorney say they had a visit scheduled for early next week with one of the clients who lost thirty pounds that's almost fourteen telegram since the strike began at the beginning of february that visit was approved by the military but the lawyers say they've just been informed by the authorities that they cannot visit the client because the military flight scheduled for next week was canceled also most recently the navy decided to discontinue commercial flights to the camp so attorneys are really struggling to find out the true extent of what's happening in one town i'm on now and not just the attorneys but we journalists as well i spoke with a lawyer who was denied access to her client being one time of this week she told me there's a sense among defense attorneys that they're being deliberately ignored by the

authorities please take a listen. so frustrating there is nothing that we can do we have sent e-mails to the to the department to brands to the commander. asking them. to talk to us about the detainees condition and we have heard no response we have been told by the department of justice that they will not talk to us they refer back to the department of defense no one has talked to us we have asked for other options to get down to guantanamo we've been told there are no other options there is no light that we can get on it is very frustrating. so there was an richardson defense attorney for one of the detainees you know there's a sense of hopelessness among the lawyers as well. now he's in his second term president obama is there any sign that he will keep his presidential campaign promise and shut down the prison doesn't look like it does it

a few months ago state department shut down the office that was working to close the prison and oh yes on top of it the u.s. command that's the command that oversees guantanamo has just requested forty nine new dollars to build a new prison building at guantanamo bay for quote unquote special detainees on top of other renovations it says are necessary since washington decided to keep it open indefinitely the move the military said the potential taxpayer bill for operating the deteriorating facilities would be almost one hundred ninety six million dollars all of this effectively means that the detainees are stuck in this legal limbo indifferent and there is a growing sense among them half of whom by the way have been cleared for release that the only way out of guantanamo for them is in a coffin. as you can reporting they giving us an update on what's going on with the hunger strike at guantanamo bay detention one former u.k.

resident and a man amar is being kept in one tunnel bay without charge and i mean peace from the u.k. green party jeanne lembit says not only is the u.k. reluctant to speed up his release but that america wants to silence the mad. we've been told that they have been putting pressure on we were told this back in two thousand and eleven and yet as your report was very accurately saying here are two governments both of which believe this man could be released and yet we haven't seen it there are a couple of barriers we think one is that there's now a law in the united states which basically says that anybody who is released from guantanamo must basically commit to not committing a crime in the future which i think many of us would think is a totally unrealistic commitment any human being to make and there's also a theory that. if he's back in the u.k. then chances are he will actually be talking about not only his experiences in

guantanamo but what also happened to him earlier him by graham in terms potentially of allegations of torture and therefore this is desired sort of keep that very quiet and not bring that into the open. over on our website we've got a timeline tracing the developments in the going ton of the hunger strike get online for that also they are overwhelming british a loyalty vote in the fall once it's emerged that the u.k. wasn't always so keen to hold on to the island's new documentary feel that margaret thatcher's government was highly reluctant to go to war with china over the small territory. and the us is willing to pay ten million dollars for any information on two of its citizens that recently made it to the top of the f.b.i.'s most wanted list having fled to somalia as an orgy dot com for the details . at least forty nine people including a semi a muslim
