we're getting them just joined us coming up here in our team tonight to our top story the as you just heard thousands of anti-government protesters a clashing with riot police outside the muslim brotherhood headquarters in the egyptian capital cairo reports of come in saying that over seventy people have already been injured that's the indication anyway ati's bell true is therefore it's not about what's going to bring us up to speed on this latest violence he's. going to. seize he punted week and we're going to take or take but i'm certain the good people i keep thinking if i get my ice shrinking and coming from it good thing it's going to keep coming from the people by you know talking i didn't you know that i coached in addition to two hundred points not two minutes i didn't commit you might get to talking on my way. let me correct you keep the question is. there incoming

fire in the crowd right in front of me. i protested are crushing people you could be breaking up it's the culture of it's a constant mean going on all day only a week away from the kids i'm becoming protective clashed with what you thought you get when it's greek time i had to comply and you know me and. including. i think if you continued through that they would be admitting we're going to support these. protesters but no more the. courts are not going to crack it's got that if you break that you think it had a knock on them and. they caught it because the president mohamed morsi comes from the islam it's. locked requested by whichever general said that they were trying to fight you very good not going to come back and including of us who get your money we keep hearing people hear you saying i'm not good enough we need to have

a regime change and we don't want to be led by timothy brotherhood to me that's because you don't want to do it really feeds right now surrounding me i mean i can't think we can clean i'm going to put both countries up to speed it's a slightly noisy line but we were most critics of it thank you bill true given that you have to talk opposition activists mohamed m.r.o. spoke to me says the protests are just the visible side of a deeper problem in egyptian society. the people in charge the president is has got a huge responsibility to watch what's going on now but on the other hand we have to be fair and we have to recognize the actual problems and egyptian society the violence that has been hiding and as we've been scrapping it under the carpet for ages and for years and years and we are the very same people who were phrasing like a lot of violence in the past and now we have to recheck and see what is what's

happening today is it serving that evolution does it have a point we have to push very hard and to continue that the real revolution which just correct and to be productive at the very same time we have to stick to that rule otherwise we're going to spend tens and tens of years like this. well the big stories we're following out of place a cordon off the cypriot polymer designed to send to the legislature for a fifth day running the protesters are urging the government not to cave in to we pressure russians wants to separate to push through a highly unpopular tax it could wipe out ten percent of people saving the proposals already been rejected once but there is growing concern that cyprus will be forced to accept that sometimes the country's banks have been paralyzed for most a week now and it's not his tests or a similar reports next people are bracing themselves 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 of the suggestion was to impose a back to levy tax on back holders the pause it's 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. is not still going to do so everybody says we're going to start going over there we're going to. look for this stuff. and this should be a sure thing and they didn't see the usual news you know just for economy grease on women resume bizarre view of the drug money wants to send the russians out of sight for this. well the mood here in nicosia cyprus remains rather

negative it seems that the people feel that there was 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 is an e.u. i.m.f. program in place. this means that there really is a cash problem on the ground cypriots going out to 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 cards of the amount that they could take for the bag change it has been lowered we'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. are you really worried 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 because there was a political leaders along with the financial sector here trying to figure out a way to maneuver the country out of this predicament that people are simply sitting tight trying to hold on against 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 . well. now warning cyprus quote not to test the boundaries of the troika's patience that softer one avenue of rescue deal with russia. 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 the most go and left the russian capital the proposals by the cypriot finance minister off joint company between cyprus and russia on the 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 of 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 in 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 the 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 turn it's of good blood. without considering the limitations and regulations of the european union and at the same science angela merkel stressed that i quote cyprus must behave accordingly with the european union regulations and must not test the boundaries of the troika base its end of quote so definitely this is a roller coaster ride and as it stands cyprus may be plunging into a default unless any kind of common language and compromise is found anytime soon. there was a official reasoning of why cyprus left empty handed let's see it now what it may have really been that held up the talks and what the politicians may be couldn't tell us is gets more false in the smarties news editor of across the i the high that what did go so wrong the high hopes of this yesterday this visit with that of moscow all worth it was it just the hope on the cypriot side not maybe the russians

well look this goes back to an e.u. russia summit last year when the euro crisis basically told russia that cyprus would be their problem to solve russians i look at it and said well no not really we think it's a eurozone problem but they had stocked up two and a half billion to to keep the island float. so timing is crucial here a change of government in cyprus last year delayed any possibility for a resolution but it crucially brought any chance of a deal into the german election cycle which is taking place in september this year now and this is why merkel is playing hardball she needs votes and the s.p.d. her or her opposition have identified cyprus as a wedge issue. her uncompromising stance which backed a raid on privately held posits in cyprus forced a surprise to come to moscow looking for help at the weekend for the subsidy of e.u. limit to how much money cyprus going to borrow it from outside the u n e way no well i think at that stage the cypriots are pretty much ready to talk to anybody but the

the russian cyprus connections are well known but it's not like the russians are the only one but i've been talking about this for a year how come this is just come such a head. now when they have failed it at this eleventh hour will again this this comes back to the change of government in cyprus last year that there was a possible for the for them to make a deal while that political transition was going on right now the russians are looking at the situation and basically sent the cypriot ministers packing with the by example for two were reasons one specifically is that it's a eurozone problem of russians who are going to get involved in what is the stance of the internal eurozone contagion issue but secondly. they don't think cyprus has hit rock bottom yet merkel is playing hardball right now and she's going to drive that issue into the ground and nobody not the russians nor the chinese is going to touch it until markets game has has reached its zenith and really really briefly that carrot was being done to russia the gas reserves cypresses gas reserves to explore that russia was interested no no no well there's

a couple of interesting tidbits on that actually on line this today in the cyprus reserves right now confirmed are nowhere near being enough to try and filled out that hole so it looks like it's going to be a very long weekend in the holes of brussels is certainly news that sort of across the thing sort of bring us up to speed thank you. well as germany deals with one of its tax havens it's citizens increasingly popping up in another let's talk panama now it's a merge that's where they go they get so into hundreds of shell companies headed by top german bank is car manufacturers and entrepreneurs as well as the families this revelation was made by a hacker who published their names and companies online take a listen a huge part of the world economy. is now in tax havens people people date they don't have an easy way to to see how or how college quality work they should be aware that a lot of. companies in i don't know are some of them legitimately.

as a way to minimize that. well what a crystal horsley's director of austin that was consultancy told me for the ultra rich taxes are only costs to be minimised it is very clear that for the very rich for the i would for a rich who can buy just anything who a billion there is that for them taxes are just costs they have their houses apartments real estate all over the globe for them it doesn't matter where they live so for them it matters we don't want to pay taxes and a part of it is of course and takes havens that's usual with them that's their usual business and they do it because they have no mother country to themselves so to say it is very clear there is no international or very little to little international corporation on this and of course you know if you have families who would not notice that they lost their one five fifteen million new euro's necessary for one of the big german parties for their whole federal election

campaign you know there's nothing that's peanuts to them so you know democracy is left out in this kind of business. russia and china have signed a number of trade bills from agreements cheering the new chinese leaders landmark visit to moscow today she jinping picked the russian capital as his first trip abroad since taking office earlier this month and he's innocent now he's got more on the symbolic and material meaning of it all. russia and china's crown jewel energy cooperation have been polished today in the shining brightly after a slew of deals were signed the most prominent probably being one between right you know its recently bought out in caves paid to become the number one oil company in the world moving exxon mobil out of its spot they find a cooperation deal with russia and with china's top energy company this of course is a tremendous step and will have enormous economic ramifications the main want

a project between russia and china to deliver gas it's very simple china needs gas russia wants to be that number one provider and russia china thirteen we became one step closer to this on this first day of the chinese president's visit now besides energy cooperation another thing they do share which really brings them together is their view of the world they share a lot of points on their stances on many pressing global issues and they are all for pushing the brics to help shift the world to be a more multipolar 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 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 were there too often stand up against intervention and to gresham mosco and beijing seem 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 has a way to diversify its a common like helping tap untouched water sources in the east and investing in the west now they could join forces on cooperation militarily but is the inevitable life in brazil of the type of us that even pacific with that is is threatening china on one side and the need to increasing military encircled and of russia on the other side the more the us 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 coined by a guy at goldman sachs this again is something that russia and china strongly share a belief that brics need to move move forward that they really need to move from being a dialogue based group to a group that sees action there's no doubt that it plays a big role but i think both china and russia would agree and have agreed really today that it's not playing a big enough role the problem here is that it's not quite putting its money where its mouth is and what needs to happen for brics to be able to propose solutions for widespread global issues like syria to create this brics development bank which they are planning on moving further on in south africa next week for what they need

to do is get that on the ground and running so that they can provide a counterbalance to financial institutions like the i.m.f. listen i was a bit earlier on the trade between russia and china has been growing steadily in recent years not his kind of pilgrims got more details now on the numbers of 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 twenty fifteen after already growing over ten percent last year now by twenty twenty we could be looking at two hundred billion dollars trade turnover all of it is energy so we are talking about oil as well we've got igor searchin 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 one million barrels a day by twenty eight. gauge pilbeam full business bulletin coming up next hour of

course is now exactly twenty minutes past not a good time we appreciate it thanks for being with us i'll be back with more news in forty minutes that coming up the latest on the hunger strike of guantanamo bay prisoners after the break. we are facing a lot of problems. because no one. no good schools. will be part. of what's not and i'll be the law in the local needs you want a community l.n.g. molton would be just. that and you get. done for up artist i was fights back i must fight. i'll fight. fight for

rights. commission free cretaceous free in-store charges free. range month free. three stooges free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects a free media oh don darty dot com. getting yes that was a quick forty minutes back again now officials at the guantanamo bay detention center in cuba have acknowledged more detainee's are joining the hunger strike or ledge mistreatment and one rights group representing several inmates has reported

the numbers now over one hundred the pentagon though claims that the figures much lower well either way the protests are into the forty fifth approaching forty six day which according to doctors marks a critical point when the bodies deprived of food he's going to treat you can a small. just this friday morning the spokesperson for guantanamo robert do read and responded to ortiz inquiry here's what he writes as of friday we have twenty six hunger strikers with each receiving actual feeds this is an increase from thursday which is twenty five a day each we have to detainees of the detainee hospital for rehydration observation also an actual street last time robert durango back to us was last week also on friday saying there were fourteen detainees who refused all food although defense attorneys had been saying there were many more will now rather do and says there are 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 and 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 telegrams 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 tourney's are really struggling to find out the true extent of what's happening in guantanamo now and not just the attorneys but we journalist as well i spoke with a lawyer who was denied access to her client in guantanamo this week she told me there is a so-so among defense attorneys that they're being deliberately ignored by the authorities please take a listen so as today there is nothing that we can do we have sent e-mails to the department to brands to the commander. asking them. to talk to us about the detainees condition and we have heard no response so

there's a sense of helplessness among the attorneys as well a few months ago the state department shut down the office that was working to close the prison and on top of it the u.s. south in command and that's the command that oversees. tunnel has just requested forty nine million 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 military said the potential taxpayer bill for upgrading the deteriorating facilities would be almost one hundred ninety six million dollars and all of this effectively means that the detainees are stuck in this legal limbo indefinitely there is a growing sense among prisoners there half of whom by the way have been cleared for release that the only way out of guantanamo for them is in a coffin one former u.k. resident shaikh is being kept in guantanamo bay without charge an m.e.p. from the u.k. his green party jean lambert says not only is the u.k.

reluctant to speed up its release but that america wants to silence them and we've been told that they have been putting pressure on we were told this back in two thousand and eleven and yet zero 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 with theory that. the 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 in bagram in terms potentially of allegations of torture and therefore there's this desire to keep that very quiet

and not bring that into the open. just bring you a bit more now on our top story the the trouble rippling tonight in cairo thousands of anti-government protests have been clashing with riot police outside the muslim brotherhood headquarters in egyptian capital correspond belled troops been on the scene fired through a message to us this is in her words she says a complete mess here brotherhood supporters just attacked i'm trapped by the front line police firing from one side brotherhood supporters on the other hill now close can't get to tahrir square so obviously is a lot of problems there tonight we're across that will bring you the latest pictures we've got some camera feeds coming through in the next couple of minutes as we got that will turn around bring him to the top of next hour an hour on a website we're covering it there too twenty four seven and we've got the timeline tracing the developments too in the one town i'm a longer straight ahead on line for that another of our big stories tonight and two there's an overwhelming british loyalty vote in the falklands it's in most of the u.k. wasn't always so keen to hold on to those islands if you want a more r. t.

dot com. now the u.s. 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 of them fled to somalia again another story on our web site tonight. cracks are appearing in the n.t. a sad syrian national coalition after the election of a new prime minister to govern a rebel held areas twelve members of the body initially resigned from the umbrella opposition group after u.s. citizen that cast senator was voted in carmel me who has been involved in the n.t. movement says radicals now dominate the coalition. then the coalition went to a far off forming and monochrome government which we can characterize. the reason behind this is the mechanisms that we used in the selection of the head of government were wrong and undemocratic this coalition wasn't elected it was the point and radicals

make up the majority 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 political life as one should not be bribed syrian liberal political groups of their rights at this stage of rebuilding our own coalition should not be about revolutionary power it should be about legitimate government i mean to them a government should represent the opinions and interests of the whole syrian nation our position is balanced and we say that what we are seeing now is wrong. i mean stay with us as we take a look at the everyday life of rebel fighters in overage niger delta is coming up next.
