every look at this example one day it was here the next day it is it and they're wondering is the same thing going to happen to their jobs or their savings to everything else they think they have precisely what did you choose and tonio a manager for the country's biggest bank the bank of cyprus has been thinking all through this rollercoaster week for the first time in my life for thirty years. and in the last week and especially. i was going to. be more to. say your. bank of cyprus according to the deal will function as the good back it will take all deposits of less than one hundred thousand euros from like e. it will however also absorb the debt naively euros in loans which like you receive

from the european central bank as emergency funding assistance the detail that angers dimitris. is like they want to push. and while this employer you worries about the health of this bank other supports worry about when their beds movie open if at all we have no cash we are just a truth behind the. him machines waiting to get some tabs for how you know and while this you are. banking well down the money sixty minutes. is one of. its better to go but. by the time we get to. it with the disaster but as it was then. it took before we the pounds he said

it was january two thousand and eight when you're the only other side upside down so slowly so you were of these kind of situation so if. we had such. a situation i have to wait but. today because it's going to take so long and for now cypriots are forced to wait for the banks reopen for cash to start flowing for jobs and life savings to secure. does so sylvia are nicosia cyprus the president of cyprus is defending the controversial rescue package admitting it is painful but in the best interest of the country meanwhile the troika hailed the plan saying it places the country on a sustainable path to recovery but the deposit levy has raised fears that the same thing could be done in other struggling banks across the continent and here's what the head of the euro group is saying quote if there's a risk in

a bank first question should be ok what's the bank going to do about that is property fears across the euro zone as the cyprus deal has now created a new template for resolving future banking problems as professor of international finance charizard raman explained to my colleague bill died earlier the bailouts not only scared small savers but may trigger big investors to start pulling their cash out of other e.u. banks. it's good we tied him on to the greek social economic debacle that we are seeing the supreme it going to go into a deep recession and this is going to be another decade lost for this country clearly the europeans and the i.m.f. they have broken one of the most basic tenants of financial crisis management and that is safeguarding the small saver what they have done is put the fear of god into small savers about their own local banks and that's the beginning of the end for any financial market and specially for foreign investors coming into those markets no one's going to be putting money into local southern banks anymore and

indeed even those economies spain france which are really fragile at the moment but big economies i mean if if the investors are sort of pulling money out of those countries that is significant in that there is a huge probability that it might actually start to happen because we have opened pandora's box right now and we can shut the lid on this now. later today or it is max keiser gives his own unique spin on a separate financial crisis saying chaos and uncertainty are beginning to be the rule of the day. spanx are going to open today they aren't yes they are no they're not are they they haircut on the deposits is ten percent now it's fifteen percent now it's forty percent now it's zero percent or maybe it's one hundred percent cyprus is leaving the no it's not leaving the troika back to the plant now does it back the plant yes it does no it doesn't welcome to the new world order it's called yes no maybe and maybe you'd have a gold silver and big client taking out of this mess or else or well there's going

to be well yes no or maybe the way stacey exactly max you know there's one thing that's never uncertain about all of these plans they have and that is they yes none of them will work that's a good bottom line analysis yes they all don't work. mounting fears cyprus could slide into deep recession and unemployment with possible repercussions for other elling euro economies on our website r.t. dot com or asking now that the belo deal is sealed what do you think is next the majority of respondents some forty percent say that the total collapse in trust in the banks will be coming and that aggravates the financial crisis thirty percent predict other countries are in line for a similar belo deal less twenty three percent say the bailout will result in widespread protests the minority ten percent think cyprus will eventually exit the euro zone because of all this what do you think quick on r.t.

dot com and have your say. well as one bloc struggles financially the other is looking to go from strength to strength the world's big emerging economies gathering in south africa looking to reshape their brics organization the leaders of brazil russia india china and the host nation at the summit with egypt's president mohamed morsi set to attend hoping to join the bloc in the future sorties lex airshow ski reports expectations for strengthening the group are high. since its inception in two thousand and nine many have been wondering what brix is all about a symbol of growing global multiple lera tea or a counterweight to the e.u. and nato the leaders of the member states have been cautiously downplaying its role saying this alliance is purely economic and exists mostly on verbal agreements officially it's not even a legally bound international organization the greeks leaders are only now contemplating setting up headquarters in one of the capitals but just look at every

brics country separately russia the world's largest exporter china the world's second largest economy and the source of a cheap labor force india cheap intellectual resources brazil with its enormously powerful agricultural sector and the republic of south africa the continent's leader in natural resources but the country's economic stats together the numbers are nothing short of impressive last year the brics countries average four percent g.d.p. growth whilst the g seven countries came up with only zero point seven percent and their collective gross national product already exceeds twenty seven percent of the global output and this economic might of the group of five could diversify into a joint brics development bank this idea appeared during last year's summit in new delhi and there are certain indications this year's meeting in durban could pave the way to its creation should this prove to be the case the world may see a new powerful financial institution we are now on the verge of

a formal decision. it would be a substantial in terms of capital and capital or substantial new international and these development bank. is probably one of the major deliverables having brics more and more prominent in the area of economy international finance development of infrastructure the common standpoint among the brics states and major international issues could also be a huge factor in global geopolitics the war in syria is just one of the examples. the group of five has been insisting on a peaceful solution to the conflict and with the moscow and beijing firmly standing within the u.n. security council against any military intervention no wonder experts say bashar assad recently asked the group of five to help bring the conflict to an end many experts believe that despite brics being an informal group it's geopolitical weight is already very high as for political rule of bricks it's. actually

a major international institution which preserved the whole human kind of solving economic problems for example the g twenty. i think at this point the decisions of g. twenty uprooted to the position of brics so brics has yet to become an officially established organization but the russian president already said cooperation within this bloc will be more school store foreign priority this year and considering that at least five countries including mexico indonesia and egypt are willing to join the world may soon see a powerful alliance of developing economies which experts say even in its current configuration may become the world's wealthiest union of states in thirty years the brics group viewed as a potential game changer for the international arena and its continuing development driven by russia and china that's the view of dr shearer and professor and dean of the general school of international affairs. from the early days when it was seen

as an upstart that was still getting its act together and resolving and ironing out some differences we have come a long way in five years the fact of the summit center continue to be held all of the light some of the critics who said that this was just a marriage of convenience or just a short piece i don't for a photo op and nothing more what we're seeing now is that their agenda is quite advanced especially the economic economic integration and one that in america asia and africa is being spearheaded by the legal of the brakes definitely russia and china i would say the central pillars of bricks if you remember did you deal with the old unit of the concept and many of us brought along so to africa india and brazil to play a larger ruler and also russia and china are much more global in their overall approach towards the world order in trying to transform the world order the other three are i would say a little more student school east although they do want to move towards more people already.

by the military but the attorneys 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 as u.s. officials obviously try to downplay the hunger strike more criticism is coming in from the international community with heard criticism from the u.n. commissioner for human rights very strong words from amnesty international they call guantanamo an american gulag this is what the head of their security with human rights campaign said quote instead of justice for the nine eleven attacks one tunnel has brought us torture indefinite detention unfair trials and hunger strikes so i made a very broad international criticism of what the u.s. officials do basically nothing a few months ago state department shut down the office that was working to close the prison which effectively means that the detainees are stuck there in this legal limbo indefinitely their attorneys fear that we're going to see more suicides human

rights organizations say there were hundreds of suicide attempts at the prison at least seven suicides have been reported so far including a detainee named. he had spent eleven years in guantanamo he was cleared for release by both bush and obama administrations he took his own life in september last year. on our website r.t. dot com bring you the latest updates our top stories and news from around the world including apocalyptic time to move death tolls in china after sixteen thousand infected rotting pig carcasses find out what else is mysteriously been fished out of chinese waters. also like the u.k. prime minister david cameron announcing a massive crackdown on immigration is the british economy continues to falter this and more a click away. from. the i.d.f. is cracking down on inappropriate behavior from its troops israeli soldiers online dance videos and controversial content have gone viral there are fears the videos

may be undermining though the government's attempts to use social media as a p.r. tool or his policy or takes a look at who's responsible for damaging the public image offensive and damaging a fund a picture of an israeli soldier with mud on his face titled a bomb a stone posted on facebook by none other than the head of the i.d.f. social media unit should have done the mish just as the government uses social media for explaining for propaganda and spinning it also has to do with private soldiers using new media every soldier's broadcast station. it looks innocent enough but this will just go to the extent of military prison. after posting these pictures on his facebook post this infant was forced to book piece of toilet and misuse of army weaponry. these soldiers turned their patrol in hebron into a dance move. it angered the i.d.f.

but others felt they did a far better job of showing the human side of the army than any spin doctor ever courage under the military code of justice offense and i think that sergeant and above which is in fact any conduct which is unbecoming an i.d.f. soldier would would would be for really potentially at least exposure to criminal liability could actually find yourself in jail but it's not always fun and games neither is it so clear cut the i.d.f. told r.t. that a sniper who posted this image was dealt with appropriately it's the problem of or free speech i don't see how you can control it i don't think that the dancing is abusing power i do think that putting your sniper a mine. innocent person is an abuse of power and i think this is that it's think that the army should do gil you gave was an officer with the paratroopers unit he says he'd brief his soldiers regularly about what they could and could not post

online but many were careless or childishly unaware of the impact one clip could have you have to remember that soldiers are. kids. eventually they're just they're just kids that miss through the misuse of power because just for them to just run is not shooting the kid is not trying to kill the kid the irony is that the i.d.f. itself put so much emphasis on social networks using them extensively to promote its actions. the idea of has taken its war to twitter facebook instagram and even tumblr turning its social media tool box into the most globally visible arm of the israeli defense force it started during the israeli gaza war at the end of two thousand and eight but the idea of social media department flexed its online muscles during the flotilla incident a year and a half later distributing regular video taken from an israeli assault craft and

tweeting in sixteen languages after the most recent israel gaza war last november the erstwhile embarrassed idea of social media guru boasted his unit had beaten the enemy some claimed foreign media asked more questions about the idea of twitter activity than about the army's bombings in gaza but when ordinary soldiers start using the same platforms all that positive public diplomacy threatens to be undermined one click at a time. will disappear r t tel aviv turning now to some other stories making global headlines leader of the syrian opposition claims the movements has rebel fighters in the ranks of the government to secure chemical weapons any sure they don't fall into extremist hands there's a day after the f.s.a. again blamed assad troops using chemical weapons the warring sides started trading toxic accusations a week ago after a rocket attack killed twenty six people near aleppo near where the larger
