twenty four hours a day. more than felson students protested in the case here against a last ditch deal the government struck with its creditors on sunday school and university students marched to the presidential palace in the capital chanting slogans and saying their future has been stolen and 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 the positives with over one hundred thousand euros and two of the main banks could see about forty percent of the assets taken to raise money for the crucial by inner city reports now from. this is that back at the heart of the deal that cyprus sealed with its international creditors to get that ten billion euro bailout it meets 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 and they look to 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 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. i wonder if the last week and especially. if. i was going to. be more. to start. the bank of cyprus according to the deal will function as the

good bank 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 an emergency funding assistance a detail that angers them. what is this is like that 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. behind him waiting to get some cuts for hello and while this year a group approved. a complete banking meltdown for many cypriots their feeling towards europe is one of frustration but it's about the power of the time we get to

. it with the desire. for us it wasn't. just before with the pounds. from. january two thousand and eight when we had three you're the only other side. to this kind of situation. where it's such. a situation i have to wait. because 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 r.t. nicosia cyprus. she's a member of a media group wake-up cyprus believes that the actions of the leaders of jeopardize the entire cypriot 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 taken in little group they have pretty much destroyed forty percent of the economy and now they will also add on top of the debt problem that we have another long and you kind of history understand that the math does not work but facing a new parenting 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 the structure of the financial system itself therefore i don't see how any any best or people can tip their mind the banks when now that we have a debt problem twice or even more as bad as it was before then obviously there will be a phrase for a new levy on their back when bond deposits so how are they expected to keep that opposes in the banks and if they will not hire the banks supposed to continue and r.t. contributor afshin rattansi believes that the unique cyprus model of raising money by raiding depositors accounts could be adopted by other european countries in the

future. the main thing about cyprus is this is a clear example of the euro zone elite and let's face it right from the stop the euro zone project was an elite system at the expense of the poor and the poor are out there demonstrating in nicosia right now in cyprus because they see that the confidence in the banking system is about confidence the initial panacea that they had to hurt the poorest people in cyprus as it were has already created haneke and well it's the name of the bank governor and there isn't the banking system of the euro zone presumably is interconnected that's how they were able to find and create the euro system so of course there are deep interconnections between all these different banks and all these institutions so this if anything will create more jitters and people be watching to portugal people already are let alone greece

because the only perhaps good thing to come out of it is that the i.m.f. in e.c.b. won't make the idiotic move all of immediately causing massive queues outside bank banks but in effect the fiscal demands that are made by brussels and berlin are such that they are going to do that anyway so of course is going to stretch further further and. we would like to know what you think about the turbulent situation in cyprus head to our web site r.t. dot com to participate in our latest web poll and today we're ask you what's next for the country now that the bailout deal is sealed well it's a look at the results on screen so far the majority almost forty percent say it will be a total collapse of trust in the banks aggravating the financial crisis over thirty percent predict 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 while

we can see there a minority view eight percent believe that cyprus will eventually exit the euro zone has wanted or com tell us what you think. a post-mortem examination has revealed the death of the russian exiled 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 opened on thursday sort of first as the details. the investigation of course into the death of birth 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 no 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 at the forensic examinations 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 it 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 scarf found by the body there are also reports that the bodyguard in self was actually asked to run errands on the morning then this that 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 bathroom door where the body was then found in separate pieces to this case in the last days of his life boris berezovsky 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. there are. plenty more still to come this hour including hungry for the truth the u.s. military admits the number of hunger strike. has risen again but continues to deny most of the detainees. themselves we speak to

a lawyer representing one of those detainees. happening to the global economy. building.

mission to teach me. why you should. only. news continues here on a new powerful institution the brics joint development bank is it to emerge on the international financial arena that says the fifth annual summit of the world's fastest emerging economies is 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 on to europe is going to is in the. three apart to underestimate the importance and the potential off the brics nations first of all

the combine 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 a voice in 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. cooperation and one of the issues you discuss here in south africa currently is stablished 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. chief emerging markets economist

neil sharing says the new joint development bank would become a serious alternative to the establishment we can see this political terms at least there's been a rival to say that well it's going to be able to resize my attitude certainly and i think it's going to be focused mainly on lending to to the develop the developing world. particularly in africa i think that the key thing to understand the brics is that although there are very large economies in some ways to break that there are very different economies china and india much larger that are still russia brazil russia are much china and india perhaps the thing that is behind it all to get the past year or so is that each of us starts to run into really growth of this growth challenges but i think this is that this can be a thing we see the next five years is that growth in the group economy so that is going to help the united states at the developed world.

the u.s. military is 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 protests that indefinite detention and the military is now making the facts harder to verify that he's got a check on explains. 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. the taliban says it is behind attacks that killed five afghan army officers and wounded 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 analysts hubby park he believes talking with 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 he finally can defeat the united states and the government of afghanistan and can back to the birth to power as the war and nineteen. ninety s. if the united states leave afghanistan in this situation. or is a three judge government india is a poor and weak security forces india as for it interference in afghanistan in this situation if the united states leave afghanistan it will pay more. more in the

future and it would be extremely costly. 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 or on the way to the taliban because of this it is absolutely complicated situation and i believe it is very difficult for the you know to sit to leave this country in this situation. stories to raise your eyebrows are waiting for you on our website at the moment calm including that of a russian man who tried to make a dream becoming mortal come true. exposing him to radiation. and the twenty eight year old founding father of facebook is said to be making his way into politics.

speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the c.r.p. interviews intriguing story. than trying. to find out more visit. the arab league summit currently underway in cata has affirmed the right of member states to give military support to the syrian rebels that's according to the gathering's draft resolution the summit in category seen by some as a diplomatic triumph for the syrian opposition with its leader taking the seat among other members but in reality the coalition is sharply divided with moyes are copied trying to quit is president only we can get it through the syria tribune

online blog dr ali mohamed believes the resolution to send arms is no more than a p.r. stunt. for the opposition they have been saying they were in large quantities and they have incentives. i don't think they can do any more if they would just keeps him the more they have been standing. at the moment this shows that they are doing is legal and covered by the arab league people political weight is so doubtful are given this syrian seat in the in the arab league this is like. who does not giving them who does not deserve. i think if we examine the image carefully we will see that this is no hope for them at any level because the person who was who was sitting is actually resigned he has not. taken his resignation you have the person next to him who is supposedly. the interim

prime minister was rejected by all the fighting. so they are they wanted to look like. in reality it is. back now to a story in covering them obey whether u.s. military's admitted that the number of hunger striking detainees at the prison camp has risen to twenty eight but officials continue to deny allegations that most of the hundred sixty six people held at. sells to death well us federal public defender close warner who represents one of the guantanamo detainees joins me now live call us when's the last time you spoke to your client and how did he say the situation is. actually i have late breaking news from the island it came in just a few moments ago from colonel when guard if you'd be interested i have a statement from fires they'll can dari what he said are you interested very much he said quote i scare myself when i look in the mirror let them kill us as we have

nothing to lose we died when obama indefinitely detained us respect us or kill us it's your choice the u.s. must take off its mask and kill us that was his statement as of today i saw him last week i represent more i have many clients there but i did see him last week and it was it was a shock to see what i saw he was a man who was down over thirty pounds from less than a month ago he refused all nourishment his cheeks were sunken he was exhausted could not stand. it was a scary scary meeting for me and his message is respect or kill this will his wish come true or will he now be prepared to die but i think that

many of the men in the ones that are indefinitely detained they have zero hope they have no hope because of the ministration i think many of them are ready to die the question is how and when will they die they have no hope of being released from that place and until being has some hope it's very difficult to live can we get this any of them are prepared to die and i ask you was this clear before release a few years ago and if so why hasn't he been released. fire is not on the list of eighty six innocent men who are cleared for release and those eighty six men it was a unanimous decision by the us government our government to release them. but fi is not on that list but let's be clear everybody in guantanamo is indefinitely detained nobody is being released cleared for release or not why nor joy you to me surely to explain the u.s. must have a justified legal reason for keeping these people locked up. yes the

reason very simple and it's at the foot of president obama now you're talking to a federal defender what that means is that i come from the far left i am a liberal i believe in president obama and i voted for him twice but this is a broken promise one that he has chosen to abide by and not abide by excuse me he looks at the republicans in congress he says it's their fault well as of today there's not one person in the ministration i can contact to redress these problems there's nobody in the entire obama administration i could call and say let's stop the hunger strike i'm forced to do that at the base with with. young officers at the base if people do start to die do you think there will be any more attention from the mainstream media not just in the u.s. but throughout the world and in. some respects will have

a huge liability when they have that they've got to respond to some of the let me. let me slow you down these are men they're not animals that are people that we have grown to know and respect and i don't want to see any of them die i don't want to see them die over this or any other protest they should get process there at the end of their rope if and it's not if it's when people die if the strike is not ended then sure there's going to be more attention but let me tell you as a human being i do not want to see my clients die and the fact that they're in this condition is one of the most heart wrenching things that i've had to experience as a lawyer so call us the big question is will that desperate actions now achieve anything briefly. well. up to the world the military is telling the world to look away from guantanamo everything's fine nobody is striking there's only ten fifteen twenty and now i heard it's over thirty today. the only

way this changes is if the world pressures the united states internally as well we need the citizens of the united states to stand up and demand that president obama follow through with his promise and his promises to close guantanamo he made that promise and that broken promise as you could hear from the mouth of. is killing people in guantanamo not a lot from the u.s. federal public defender call us want to thank you for your time this is. the kind of report is next more news in health. oh since the new pope was chosen the calls for reform are endless 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.
