fifteen hundred separate students marching nicosia against the controversial bailout deal saying their future has been stolen that is the chairman of the

country's largest bank resigned. death consistent with hanging that following a post-mortem on the self exiled russian tycoon bodies but i mean up suggestions he took his own life. and emerging powers the leaders of the brics group convene in south africa with the summit promising the establishment of a new development bank expected to reshuffle the international financial scene top stories. international news and common life from a studio center here in moscow this is where the twenty four hours a day. more than a thousand students have protested in nicosia against the last ditch bailout deal

the government struck with its creditors on sunday school and university students marched to the presidential palace in the separate capital chanting slogans and saying their future has been stolen that says the chairman of the bank of cyprus the country's largest financial institution resigned while all banks in the mediterranean state remain closed until thursday to prevent a massive run on accounts depositors with over one hundred thousand euros and two of the main banks could see about forty percent of their assets taken to raise money for the crucial. reports now from nicosia. now this is. is that at the heart of the deal that cyprus sealed with its international 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 haircut a lost whatever money they have here and many cypriots for the past week i've been

to motional rollercoaster wondering what is going to happen to their money to their savings and they 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 the new terms and tonio and 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 then last week and especially. i was going to. be more. to. say. the 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 it will however also absorb the debt nine billion euros in loans which like

you receive from the european central bank as emergency funding assistance a detail that anger. 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 just choose. him. waiting to get some coffee for hello and while this you are 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 by the time we get to. it with that desire. for us it was.

better before with the pounds. from. january two thousand and eight when we enter you the only other side. to this kind of situation so. we have such. a situation we have to wait but. today come 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 are still there are nicosia cyprus reports suggest the money is seeping out of cyprus despite the freshly installed capital controls with no way of telling just exactly how much cash has flown out of the country in recent weeks kristie all of the media saying a member of a media group wake up cyprus believes that the actions of the leaders have

jeopardized the entire financial system. i don't think that it's correct to speak for the bailout because this is not the bailout it can be best described as an overnight assassination because with the decisions that are taking the little group they have pretty much destroyed forty percent of the economy and now they will also add on top of that problem that we have another level and you can obviously understand that the math doesn't work we're facing a new parenting when in the european union this is the first time that he has this has been done but it's like planting a bomb in the structure of the financial system itself therefore i don't see how any any best or people can teach their mind in the banks when now that will have a program twice or even more as bad as it was before then obviously there will be a phrase for a new levy on the bank deposits so how are they expected to keep that the poses in the banks and if they will not hire of the banks supposed to continue. well we

would like to know what you think about the turbulent situation in cyprus head to our web site harvey don't come to participate in our latest web poll and today we're asking you what is next for the country now the bailout deal is sealed but so far the majority as we can see there on screen almost forty percent of you say they'll be a total collapse of trust in the banks aggravating the financial crisis over thirty percent predict that other countries are in line for a similar bailout deal about a fifth think that the terms of the rescue will result in widespread protests one of minority of you believe in cyprus will eventually exit the euro zone. and tell us what you think. a post-mortem examination has revealed the death of the russian self exile tycoon bodies but it was consistent with hanging his body was found in his u.k. mansion this weekend an official inquest is set to be open tomorrow. as the details

. the investigation of course into the death of birth parents or ski 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 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 they are now other unconfirmed details that have come out during the course of the last few days that there are reports of a scarf found by the body there are also reports that the body guard in self was actually asked to run errands on the morning then this of boris berezovsky died as it had actually been in the home at the time of course the police had said that the employee had then come back being concerned that his employees welfare and have broken down that fast and still 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 say 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. over the past decade moscow continually called for london to extradite the ex billionaire so he could be tried for numerous charges of financial crimes but that is also his death and massive thorn in u.k. russian relations has been removed so says author and analyst martin corny 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 writing very very hard. because of school do good and as a man who became a dollar millionaire undercover troth he became a billionaire under yeltsin but for him tragically misjudged the situation after president putin came to power and ended up perhaps

a relatively poor man people are very important and interests in fact seemed to come down to the relationship between two countries regarding an individual west remember that because of a call for the physical overthrow of president believe putin when he was in power. that's pretty serious and he made many accusations. that were assessed nation attempts against his life he play moscow 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. coming up after the break. can shuffle you

global financial headlines kaiser reports. it continues here on r t a new powerful institution the brics joint development

bank is set to emerge on the international financial arena that's is the fifth annual summit of the world's fastest emerging economies it kicked off in south africa the leaders of brazil russia china india and the host nation this year are joined by egypt's president morsi who's hoping to book a place in the club what is your opinion of is in durban. three apart 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 and 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 potential in those big ambition and very similar positions on international affairs russia and china are the un security council but what's the key idea of this organization 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 discussed 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 so brics in the near future. charlie dean of the school of international affairs believes in the five years since its creation that the brics nations have proved they mean business 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 these summits are continuing to be held all of the life 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 among latin america asia and

africa has been spearheaded by the legal of the brakes definitely russia and china are i would say the central pillars of bricks if you remember a bit you know they weren't the only candidates on the concept and many of us brought along so to africa india and brazil to play a larger role and also russia and china are much more global in their overall approach towards the world order and trying to transform the world order the other three are i would say a little more studious school east although they do want a move towards more people already. the u.s. military has admitted the number of hunger striking detainees at guantanamo bay has risen to twenty eight but officials continue to deny allegations most of the one hundred sixty six people held at the facility are trying to starve themselves to death in protest at the indefinite detention and the military is now making the

facts harder to verify that he's got a check on explains. despair among one tunnel 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 if you 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. but he more stories to raise eyebrows are waiting for you on our website at the moment including that of a russian man who tried to make friends dream to become immortal come true by casually exposing him to radiation. twenty eight year old founding father of facebook is said to be making his way into

politics more amounts of our newfangled ambitions and altie dot com. the taliban says it's behind attacks that killed five officers and we did four others in eastern afghanistan earlier on tuesday this comes after afghan president hamid karzai said he's ready to talk with the group when he visits qatar in a few weeks washington's been pushing the country towards peace negotiations ahead of the u.s. handover in twenty fourteen but political analyst keamy believes more talks will achieve little amid the taliban's growing influence. the problem here is that the taliban still are strong going to get in this country and this did believe that the finally can defeat the united states and the government of afghanistan and can back to the birth to the power as the war and ninety in. the ninety's everyone i'd said leave afghanistan in this situation. here is a free jail government in india is

a poor and weak security forces and they are as foreign 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 taleban because of this it is absolutely a complicated situation and i believe it is very difficult for the united to sit to leave this country in this situation. more news now making headlines around the world a suicide bomb attack targeting a military building has been reported in the syrian capital with many people believed killed in the explosion we'll bring you more details as soon as we get them meanwhile the syrian opposition and next hour has taken to the country seat of

the arab league summit in doha syria's membership of the body was suspended in two thousand and eleven after the start of the uprising against president assad the opposition delegation is led by more as the president of the national coalition who attempted to resign as its leader at the weekend is yet to comment on his role as a national representative. leader of rebels occupying the capital of the central african republic says he has suspended the country's constitution and dissolve parliament the militants captured the city on sunday forcing the president to flee the dharm and rich country reports say south african troops who've been helping government forces are also being pulled from the region the rebels actions have been condemned by the un. wonders what's online crossed the line in israel the country's military is widely using social media as a p.r. tool during combat missions but what happens when the soldiers start using these

means inappropriately what is paulus lear investigates how much the idea of controversy all web content is seen to be damaging israel's public image offensive and damaging find a picture of an israeli soldier with mud on his face titled a bomb a star posted on facebook by none other than the head of the i.d.f. social media unit should have gone. just as the government uses social media for explaining for complaining for propaganda or for spinning it also has to do with private soldiers using new media every soldier's 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 occurred under the military code of justice offense and i think that sergeant and above which if 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 the dancing is abusing power i do think that putting your sniper. innocent person is an abuse of power and i think this is the it's thinks in 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 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 flexed its online muscles during the futile 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 i.d.f. 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 questions to be undermined one pick at a time. to see on television. that's it for me for the moment i'll be back with a news team with more for you in about thirty five minutes from now meantime mexico is that is next with his latest take on the world the big business and shady finance that's after the break.

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 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. it's. max kaiser welcome to the kaiser report cyprus banks are going to open today no 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 on a percent cyprus is leaving the euro now it's not with the troika back to the plant no it doesn't back to play yes it 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 bit coy taking you out of this mess or else or well those 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 that you yes none of them will work that's a good bottom line analysis yes they all don't work. so you know while panic coast's was determined who is thomas goes to the head of the central bank of cyprus this panic because nothing going to work that's how the gold panic goes on amazon it goes nothing going to work around here.
