international news analysis and reporter this is our t.v. we're very glad to have you with us now the clock is ticking for debt stricken cyprus to meet conditions for a ten billion euro e.u. bailout to parliament has paul several t. bills restructuring the banks making it harder for superuser to get the cash but it's yet to decide on the most contentious measure the levy on bank deposits the deadline is on monday when the european central bank says it will come to funds to supriya banks if no deal is reached r.t. says or so he is following the tortuous debates in the country's parliament and the mood on the streets. no the cypriot parliament has passed a series of bills which review part of a package that they will present to the troika to get approval in order to get the ten billion euro bailout they needed to save their country from bankruptcy their banks essentially now one of these bills pass is one on capital controls it could be imposed on bags essentially means restricting the access of some people or to

their accounts and also restricting the flow of money in and out of cypriot bank accounts of the other bill passes creating that solidarity fund which essentially means pooling state assets together to create this fund to contribute to the amount of money they need to present in order to get that bailout again and another bill that was approved was restructuring banks up the people started protesting on the streets when it was announced that one of the conditions is imposing a tax on bank deposits of cypriot bank account holders and the people were certainly not happy with this this would eat into their savings they were worried that they will lose that amount of money now this is still a question and parliamentarians here are still going to be debating on our how much that will be how a percentage that will be on which kind of back accounts of cypriot bank holders that will be as well so it's still a big question and this is an answer that the people are certainly going to be waiting for who've been out into the streets speaking to the people on how they actually feel about the decisions that their leaders have been making so we're here with a meeting void of protesters for the past two days here in cyprus ever since of your

nels met over the last weekend. what would be giving them ten billion euros of bailout like conditions that they were willing to accept and it's really been a combination of very fast the jury rating and bad news for cypriots and to some slow moving developments of mining solutions to the problems that they're facing now there's really a cash problem in the country the banks are a good thing going to be close until next week many people have already gone out to the streets and tried to get some money from the a.t.m. the people gathered here it's really an interesting mix so there are some people worried for the possibility of losing their jobs their status of foreigners who have called cyprus home who are worried about their savings will lose hope. to some of them and here's what they had to say the banking crisis has affected us to know we come get the money we've earned we work in cyprus we're not jobless who can get cash out of a.t.m. machines. we've invested our money into the economy of cyprus but they could cut us off what are the grounds for that. we have to get out of the euro

but we will stay home how they would pay us and our kids. if we don't accept it i would be no development with this and. the. parliament is actually just a few meters from your garden those guys over there beyond the barricades the people who have come out to the streets really want to get their voices heard by the leaders who make their way to parliament to those meetings and come up with solutions for the country and this is a been really a common sight now in many troubled the result nations people coming out to the streets in the past few days many of the people i've spoken to said that the one question on their minds is how is this going to go on we want to know when will that solution finally found reporting for me to see a cyprus i'm just a silly. german chancellor angela merkel appears furious with a plan b. as bumped up by me cause you rejected the levy on bank deposits in parliament she complained of a lack of communication with. i don't want to they're playing with fire and dry as

a d. candidate for the bavarian parliament believes michaele's a hostile rhetoric is because she's feeling the heat domestically. now we are in a complicated situation there 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 the people of cyprus to. carry birds year however for me this kind of be a little solution you cannot solve this situation by adding debt like the billion now the european union willing to pay as a no one as a guarantee whatever about this will be no sustainable solution will put it bloomed most austerity to the people of cyprus they did it for them and now they change

gears because because of the upcoming elections the german voters will not go on with a government policy like this germany slimy cozier decision to create a solidarity fund to raise funds of pushing for a levy in state burden says cyprus has to revamp its banking system and stop being a tax haven meanwhile russian investors showed no interest in a rescue deal for cyprus and as are his news editor i have a quote he explains that the e.u. is a hard line stance a stance from german chancellor metals desire to gain all she can politically from the situation. this starts at a russia e.u. summit last year when the euro krotz told russia that cyprus would be their problem to solve cyprus had been racked by the greek economic collapse the russians didn't take kindly to that said it's a euro zone problem and it's not like russians are the only ones availing of time cypriot tax loopholes however russia did stop at two and a half billion to help trying to keep the island afloat

a change in the cypriot government last year delayed any chance of a resolution most notably out of russia e.u. summit last december but it crucially brought the timing of any deal into the german election cycle and this is why merkel is playing hardball merkel's in search of votes she's under pressure at home and explains the euro group's decision to back a raid on privately held posits in cyprus germany's taking a very very hard line on this issue merkel's uncompromising stance backed euro group's decision to raid privately held super deposits weekend. and sent the cypriots to moscow looking for help the russians look at the cyprus approach and say no we're not going to get involved for two reasons. but secondly merkel is going to drive this into the ground she's taking a hard line on the cypriot issue and nobody is going to touch cyprus or until she has finished the political process or may gain the political capital necessary from

this situation to let cyprus off the hook it's going to be a very very long weekend in the halls of process and for lent. the escalating crisis in cyprus is sending shivers all across the eurozone and the next crisis to emerge it could be in another small economies struggling with a heavily indebted bank sector slovenia the i.m.f. says that baghdad is increasing among some must stay drawn bags now let's take a look at these figures here bad loans and it's a three mostly state run bank a full fifteen percent in two thousand and eleven and saw twenty point five percent in a twenty now that's seven billion that you're looking at right now that's the bad debt there's a linnaean banking sector is nursing and it equals to twenty percent of the country's g.d.p. now emerging markets analysts are. slovenia maybe seeking the bailout in the second part of this year the cypriot crisis will have broad based impacts across the

eurozone and across the wider region but one country that stands out in particular is slovenia slovenia has been standing out as a potential candidate for seeking international bailout for much of the past year and now that we have had the crisis in cyprus and the form of the proposed bailout and a potential tax on deposits it really creates increases fears in slovenia of what an international bailout might entail so we want to want to bear in mind going forward as long as it's not shut from international markets and i don't think it is they will be fine and they won't have to seek international bailout the condition which would trigger slovenia having to seek international bailout is if the current political turmoil in slovenia carries on and effectively keeps living in the shots living out of international markets under that scenario might have to seek international bailout and i think the stress points will become visible towards the second half of the when slovenia starts running out of cash. and for more expert

the chinese leader has also made of course was about the cooperation between russia and china among other things that the two countries also agree on is the fact that it is about time to leave the old stereotypes declined he said that we're living in the twenty first century and therefore the cold war era is gone and over with and therefore this theory types and thinking along those lines also has to go and he also mentioned that course russia and china are there cooperation will provide for a clearer world order he also mentioned of course the need to not just to move away from syria types but also to move towards the mall to four world and the multiple area to the of the world is also one of the founding principles of bricks of course brics essentially was a trade and economic organization but it is now moving increasing towards becoming a major geo political player and that is going to be one of the main subjects of discussions during the upcoming brick summit in south africa and yet despite of

course there are many agreements on the political level russian trying to still have several things that they need to work on at the moment those things is the gas supplies deal from russia to china which has been in the works for ten years and it does look like during this visit russia and china have made some headway towards finding a solution but the details of the deal are yet to be figured out and it is expected that those details will come up until the end of the year but of course the chinese leader said that russia and china nevertheless are each other's biggest partner and argues for seeing eye to eye on a lot of issues and cooperation is something that the two countries are going not just to continue but we'll all start he said that his trip there is a symbolic significance by happening in march because the leader hopes that he will see some very good fruits borne forth from the seeds that he has sown during this visit. whether russia and china are becoming common story in briggs' economies professor joseph chan

of the muslim brotherhood headquarters which is right behind me here in the mccutcheon district in cairo police were fending off protesters from the main gates it is the most headquarters using excessive amounts of take us protesters responded with a moment of cocktails and rocks meanwhile a few hundred meters away protest is engaged with street battles in street battles with supporters of the mission brotherhood you attended a few hours before and the time those demonstrators fleeing the police come fire started friday morning when anti-government protesters decided to march on the headquarters that is a mystery protest against a president who hails from of the muslim brotherhood and also protesting against what was a legit tact by the missed him by a next attack by mr bobbitt members last week on journalists were seen injuries coming off the front line with people with severe head injuries in addition to people fainting and vomiting from tear gas and i also saw civilians holding hands made weapons shotguns wasn't able to ascertain which side they were on but there

were a lot of gunfire in these battles between the rival civilian protest groups and basically is what is showing is a divided egypt as these a civilian protest and continue to clash it doesn't seem to be any hope of dialogue between oppositional forces and the president protesters here say that there's been no change in the last two years in egypt the president mahmoud morsi is ignoring their main demands and instead they have a constitution that has been written by an islamist dominated constituent assembly the brotherhood for their part say the demonstrators of violence and had to torch their headquarters and therefore they've been responding in a way of defense what is really showing is that there's very little hope of a unified egypt on the horizon. the kuantan a mob a hunger strike has gone beyond the critical forty five day mark when doctors say health is put at serious risk officials at the detention center in cuba have acknowledged more detainees are joining the protests over alleged mistreatment this

comes amid a pentagon request for forty nine million dollars to build a new prison building and carry out renovations despite a four year old promise to shut it down and as you can reports. the spokesperson for guantanamo robert zubrin responded to our tease inquiry here's what he writes as of friday the twenty second of march twenty third seed we have twenty six hunger strike is with a receiving end to all 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 on mental feed last time robert durango back to us was last week also on friday saying there were fourteen detainees who refused all food although the defense attorneys had been saying there were many more well 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 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 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 sense among defense attorneys that they are being deliberately ignored by the authorities so assuming there is nothing that we can do we have sent e-mails to the to the department to bear arms to the commander. asking them. to talk to us about the condition and we heard no response so there is

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 and. man and that's the command that oversees guantanamo 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 british m.p. george galloway says that despite the promise the u.s. has no intention to close guantanamo a prison camp where you are held without charge without drywall indefinitely where your lawyer has no right to see you where you have no rights of any kind can never be made more comfortable even if you put thick carpet big armed just like we have

in the british parliament in it it will never be comfortable it remains an outrage but the significance of the investment is this they wouldn't be spending tens of millions of new dollars on guantanamo if they didn't intend to keep it as a legal black hole where so-called illegal combatants are incarcerated people by the way seized and kidnapped from around the world and taken their drug and manacled in many cases this is the stuff of fiction but unfortunately it's fact in two thousand and thirteen in obama's america political correctness may be leaving british taxpayers out of pocket in an attempt to accommodate non english speaking immigrants one london council blue half a million pounds on translations that will never be read. as taking to the streets to see what locals have to say about their hard earned money being lost in

translation. for those who live in the u.k. and don't speak english the british government's been understanding for the past several years that's because local councils translates information about that services into to as many as seventy different languages so whether it's your pension feeding instructions and or do or a new thoughts about how to lose weight in the choice of punjab. it's available and courtesy of the u.k. taxpayer and this north london bar a hiring day the local town hall wasted almost wholesome million pounds translating documents that no one ended up reading leaflets included a school's guidance french somalians her cash as well as a gay lesbian bisexual and transgender services directory and friends they meet reflects what they're doing and before they commit mass amounts of money terrible waste that is not right when i see people homeless on the street. we need to get

messages across however people from different backgrounds with english is a second language they've also got responsibility to learn english. the minister for local government eric pickles says that the u.k.'s immigrants need to improve their english while local governments could do with brushing up on them mom according to pickles putting a stop to the exorbitant translations of public information could help to save money for abortions worsening economy as well as help to improve the english of immigrants and help to integrate them into british society we need to start getting immigrants to work for the u.k. as opposed to the u.k. spending a lot of money on immigrants we should try and help them but not the extent of wasting it most accounts we should have a policy of we shouldn't buy stuff for media stuff especially when budgets are really being cut translations across all public bodies cos the u.k. government a hundred forty million pounds

a year the result is something the local government. minister of course i mean hope and simple situation where no one speaks english as their main language in too many british households so if you can only read your local council newsletter in bengali arabic or somali you might think about signing up for some english lessons otherwise it could all end up greek to you polly boy here arty london. now a quick look at what else is going on in the world the president of wine bar has declared a state of see the city of a make after three days of relentless sectarian violence gangs of hooters armed with a machetes and torches attacked the muslim communities torching mosques and homes in their path it's the worst violence to hit my mother since last summer's deadly riots in the west of the country. the lebanese prime minister and his whole government have resigned and following a dispute with the shared a group hezbollah the country has been in the political deadlock ever since his
