just after seven pm here in the russian capital with me it's good to have you with us today. more than a thousand students have protested against the last ditch bailout deal the government managed to strike with its creditors on sunday high school and university students marched to the presidential palace in the cypriot capital chanting slogans and saying that their future has been stolen. off the bank of cyprus the country's largest financial institution resigned while all banks in the mediterranean remain closed until thursday to prevent a massive run on the. positives with over one hundred thousand euros in two of the main banks could see about forty percent of their assets taken of course in order to raise money for this ongoing bailout the latest now reporting from. this. part of. creditors to get that ten billion euro

bailout it needs and what will happen to this back essentially is it will be split into pieces and people with deposits of more than one hundred thousand euros that are uninsured will have to take a huge here a lost whatever money they have here and many cypriots for the past week have begun to motional rollercoaster wondering what is going to happen to their money to their savings 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. i ordered it and then last week and especially. if. i was going to. use. anymore.

the bank of cyprus according to the deal will function as the good bank and will take all deposits of less than one hundred thousand euros from like it will however also absorb the debt nine thousand loans which like you receive from the european central bank as emergency funding assistance a detail that angers them. is like they want to push. and while this employee he worries about the health of his bank other cypriots worry about when their banks will reopen if at all we have no cash we are just a truth behind him waiting to get something. for hello.

and while this year a group of. a complete banking meltdown for many cypriots their feeling towards europe is one of frustration it's better to go back to the palace for the time we get to. it with the desire. for us it was a little. better before with pounds. from. january two thousand and eight when we had three you're the only other side. to this kind of situation so. we're such. a situation to have to wait but. it's going to take so long and for now cypriots are forced to wait for banks reopen for cash to start flowing for jobs and life savings to be secure again. does or sylvia are nicosia cyprus. in the meantime a. member of

a media group called wake up cyprus he believes the actions of the e.u. leaders have jeopardized the entire cypriot financial system. i don't think that it's correct to speak for the bailout because this is no the bailout it can be best described as an overnight us as a nation because we've. taken a little group they have pretty much the story forty percent of the quantum and now the we also add on top of the problem that we have another little. understand that the math doesn't work but facing a new part of the i mean in the european union this is the first time that he has this has been done but it's like planting a bomb in destruction of the financial system itself therefore i don't see how any any. people can to put their money in the banks when now that we would have a program twice or even more as bad as it was before then obviously there would be a freeze for new levy on the fund deposits so how are they expected to keep that

the poses in the banks and if the when or how are the banks supposed to continue well here are still gauging your opinion on this story would like to know what you think about the ongoing situation in cyprus if you just head over to our web site r.t. dot com you can participate in our latest world wide poll that is ongoing right now of course today we're asking what is next for cyprus now the bailout deal as well supposedly sealed here the numbers for this hour still they are changing a little bit from hour to hour those still in the lead though nearly forty percent saying they'll be a total collapse of trust in the banks if indeed that hasn't already happened just over a third now thinking that other countries could be in line for a similar bailout deal down to about a fifth now thinking the terms of the rescue will result in widespread protests well that's already begun and a minority of voters that are to dot com and of you was saying that cyprus will eventually exit the euro zone will this story is only just starting to explode we are loving your opinions it on a web on our website right now so. click away have

a go and tell us what you think. and for now a post-mortem examination has revealed the death of the russians tycoon boris berezovsky was consistent with hanging his body was found in his u.k. mansion this weekend an official inquest is set to be open tomorrow the latest details now to our correspondent sara. the investigation of course into the death of boris berezovsky ongoing they've released the results of that post-mortem examination carried out by a home office pathologist this found that the cause of death is consistent with hanging but there's no sign of a violent struggle now you're remembering and earlier statement from the police they said that there was no evidence at that point in the investigation of a third party involvement now they're still toxicology tests to be carried out and the results of those aren't expected for

a couple of weeks the forensic examination is still taking place boris berezovsky is home and today the formal id procedure is actually going to be carried out as well to identify the body with the hugely controversial character that you had in boris berezovsky those always going to be this huge amount of intrigue and speculation now in a previous statement the police had said they're now trying to build up a picture of the state of mind of the man in the last days of his life i think a lot of people di feel that that's pointing towards police looking at the possibility that this is a suicide but of course no confirmation on any of these details safe are now other unconfirmed details that have come out during the course of the last few days that there are reports of a skull found by the body there are also reports that the body guard in self was actually asked to run errands on the morning that mr boris berezovsky died and so had actually been in the home at the time of course the police had said that the employee had then come back being concerned for his employees welfare and have

broken down that bottom drawer where the body was then found in separate pieces to this case in the last days of his life he had given an informal meeting to journalists in which he'd spoken of losing the meaning of life and again reiterated this longing to return home to russia to quite a sad picture i think really this being built up but of course so many unanswered questions still at this point and i think that's very much what the police are going to be looking to do now is pull all this information together and try and answer some of these questions that remain as the investigation now progresses. certainly over the past decade moscow has been calling for london to extradite the ex billionaire so that he can be tried for numerous charges of financial crimes but with death a massive thorn in the side of u.k. russia relations perhaps has been removed that's according to author and analyst

martin mccauley i think you go down as a band of capitalist. who was more concerned with power than money is political judgment was very very poor because during the year he seemed to be writing very very hard. because of school do good and there's a man who became a dollar million undercover troth he became a billionaire. but for him tragically misjudged the situation after president putin came to power and ended up perhaps a relief for the poor man people a very important interest in fact seemed to come down to the relations between two countries regarding an individual west remember that the results call for the physical overthrow of president believe putin when he was in power. that's pretty serious and he made many accusations. that the recess nation attempts

against his life he play most good he blamed russia for that and so on that poisoned relations between moscow and london you could find it always in the english press with his name came up. people expected a scandal and what it what is he going to say now about moscow and what is what is he going to blame putin again for something else. now with him gone that's gone as well hopefully we can move forward and if you like some of the poison has been taken out of the relations. this is. small. to prison israeli soldiers are running behind online videos deemed inappropriate by the army by the military's attempts to both. the u.s. military admits the number of hunger strikers at guantanamo bay has risen again but continue to deny most of the detainees there. after

a very quick break. good luck. to building a new. mission to teach me. this is why you should. only. see a story. and then something else.

and realize everything is. a pleasure to have you with us here on. moscow a new powerful institution the brics joint development bank is set to emerge on the international financial stage as the fifth annual summit of the world's fastest emerging economies has now kicked off in south africa the leaders of brazil russia china india and the host nation this year they're actually all being joined by egypt's president morsi he's hoping quite eagerly to book a place in the club more from durban now and go to preschool. hard to underestimate

the importance and the potential off the brics nations first of all the combined population all the five states nearly three billion people can understand the potential in that also the average g.d.p. growth last year was four percent while in the g seven it was around it was last than one percent and so while there is big for tension there is big ambition and very similar positions on international affairs russia and china and the un security council but what the key idea of this organization is is that it's not in opposition to other international organizations but is only for international cooperation would be when and with everybody who wants to take part in fact egypt has been clearly voicing its desire to possibly join the organization as well what we're witnessing now is the transformation of bricks from a dialogue forum to a full on mechanism for split cooperation and one of the issues you discuss here in south africa currently is establishing

a joint development bank possibly with the headquarters in moscow and with a starting capital of around fifty billion u.s. dollars now also last year at the bric summit in new delhi of the five partners the five nations decided to conduct all of the payments between them in their national currencies to protect their economies from things like currency wars or the consequences from the change of the rate of the dollar and in connection with this there is also an idea of forming a bank for international payments now another issue discussed here in south africa is also establishing a joint emergency fund with a capital of around two hundred forty billion u.s. dollars which is very important especially in light of the latest turbulence of the global economy and specially troubled new trouble in the euro zone and analysts say that the way it's going now is that we could also expect. the forming or the funding of

a joint headquarters. in the near future. this is r.t. and the u.s. military has admitted that the number of hunger striking detainees at guantanamo bay has risen to twenty eight but officials continue to deny allegations that most of the one hundred sixty six people held at the facility are trying to starve themselves over this in protest of their indefinite detention and the military is now making it well even harder to verify all the facts as ati's guy nature can try to discover. despair among guantanamo detainees grows now even their lawyers are denied direct access to them attorneys say they had a visit scheduled for early next week with one of the clients who lost thirty pounds since the strike began at the beginning of february that is it was approved 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. he's going into japan reporting of the taliban says it's behind attacks that killed five officers and wounded four others in eastern afghanistan earlier on tuesday this comes after afghan president hamid karzai said that he's ready to talk with the group when he visits cutout in a just a few weeks and washington's been pushing the country towards peace negotiations ahead of the u.s. handover in twenty fourteen more now from political analyst kimi joining me live from kabul a pleasure to see you today sir thanks for joining us here at r.t. it's been more than a decade of fighting now the u.s. says it wants president karzai to get friendly with the taliban now if he hasn't already in the past do you see any positive results coming from it.

yes actually the u.s. is there have think of reach that did lock in fighting against the taliban and al qaeda in this in this country now the united states wants to put an end to disconsolate through the negotiations with the taliban or through walls think the government of afghanistan is first to bring the taliban. on the negotiation table but the crucial taliban as a crucial side of the conflict have frequently refused to call for a negotiation with the government off got a son even with the united with the united states the problem here is that the taliban still are strong going to get this country and this to believe that the finally can defeat the united states and the government of afghanistan and can back to the to the fall or as the war and nineteen. nineties and at the same time the taliban believe dat dere are many countries india are many countries particularly

in the region in sam. slavic extremist organizations in the region this supporting the taliban and did have developed to continue the fighting. against the united states or canada i mean you you sort of you know who but you see these are the taliban the taliban is still very powerful in afghanistan and the taliban has refused so far to come to the negotiations table with or with the afghan government do to tell us this to the afghan president he certainly upset washington the other day recently when he appeared to suggest that america has been being that with the taliban what do you think because i mean by that. actually. carries a has been willing to bring the taliban. to negotiation terrible sense many years and still he is where he is willing for willing but the problem is the taliban has refused to negotiations with the government of

afghanistan and now karzai welling to bring the taliban on the negotiation table in the future because of this he accused the united states for making negotiation for conducting negotiation with the taliban secretary whether the government of afghanistan carries a i think as a wants to keep negotiation process and him to have is hand and put the united states out of out of the rain because they believe that if the united states negotiates with the taliban if they did a deal with the taliban it would be dangerous for for his government if far his government's a variant he may have here i mean as we know as well as if they send here is now for ten years there's been huge amounts of cash from washington flowing into afghanistan and i've been doing stories on this for years now about about various bits about bouts of cash going to various factions whether it's among the taliban and not what is washington got to show for it at this point other than perhaps

a slightly empty a bank balance as any progress being made. i think some of the some pro progress have been made in afghanistan over the more than ten years back to. washington and the afghan government or facing a lot of problems and a lot of challenges in this country and i think. it is very difficult for the united states to leave the country with out. economic and policy political support and to. forget all that. the united states and the government of afghanistan have met and end up passed now to manage and i list as many people in afghanistan believe that if the united states leave afghanistan in this situation. here is a free government in india is a poor and weak security forces and the air is for it interference in afghanistan and this situation if the united states leave afghanistan it will pay more. more in

the future and it would be extremely costly for a far for the united states interest in the future because the taliban the taliban is gaining ground in the taliban is growing and insurgency in many parts of the country is growing at the same time the support of. foreign countries and regional countries still is of the way to the taliban because of this it is absolutely a complicated situation and i believe it is very difficult for the you made to sit to leave this country in this situation in good back and well here more and more then he paid in one thousand nine hundred ninety s. when for a lot also when i saw now when you say you left. to asian american troops getting their final steps of withdrawal by the end of twenty fourteen as you say a very fragile future ahead for afghanistan a political analyst a happy parky me live from kabul thank you very much for joining us here today

thank you. thank you for joining us here on our to today what does what's online what does it mean when it crosses the line in israel the country's military is widely using social media as a p.r. tool during combat missions what happens though when the soldiers start using these means and appropriately. investigates. offensive and damaging or better fun a picture of an israeli soldier with mud on his face titled a bomb a style posted on facebook by none other than the head of the i.d.f. social media unit don't wish to merge just as the government uses social media for explaining for complaining for propaganda or for spinning it also has to deal with private soldiers using new media every soldier is a broadcast station. it looks innocent enough but this soldier got two weeks in a military prison. while after posting these pictures on his facebook profile this infantry fighter was brought to book for abuse of power 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 if it could under the military code of justice offense nothing could 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 free speech i don't see how you can control it i don't think that dancing is abusing power i do think that putting your sniper in 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 misuse the misuse of power because just for them just for fun is not shooting the kid 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 i.d.f. 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 for. it's online muscles joining 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 suffered drug 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. there are t.v. television. art at the moment of a modern breaking a sweat. oh

since the new pope was chosen the calls for reform are analysts everyone wants the new pope to allow this and to allow that but the problem is that the catholic church is a religion not a product and people don't like the way a pepsi bottle looks while the company will have to in theory change it to meet public demand but the pope claims to represent the will of the creator of the universe the pope supposedly holds and protects an ancient an eternal truth so how can you expect this eternal truth just up and change because of public demand even though they pretend like the adult religions do change over time but how can you expect the pope after hundreds of years of saying that people would be condemned to the fires of hell and eternity in the charred walls of the damned for certain sins just now say well i guess those sins are ok if you are catholic and you want your religion to change constantly then why do you believe in it why bother having principles and rules in the first place supposedly given to you by the almighty if

you're just going to change them whenever you feel like it i don't get this but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous. i mean. i know that i'm still really messed up. very closely. worse for the. white house sick of it.
