this is with me thank you for joining us this hour. the biggest. prison has seen in years is now entering its fiftieth day with. health growing fears it could soon lead to even prompted the red cross to visit a. week. three of the inmates protesting over mistreatment and indefinite detention have already been hospitalized and at least being force fed the situation is exacerbated by the many of the hunger strikers are actually ready to die that's according to u.s. federal public defender carlos warner talking to my colleague. exclusively shot a statement recently made by one of his guantanamo clients. revealing the desperation that most of them. i scare myself when i look in the mirror let them
6:02 am
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 and could not stand. it was a scary scary meeting for me and his messages respect all kilis will his wish come true or will he now be prepared to die but i think that
6:03 am
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 had some hope it's very difficult to live everybody in guantanamo is indefinitely detained nobody is being released cleared for release or not why nor joy give me surely and 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 and this is a broken promise one that he has chosen to not abide by it 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
6:04 am
strike 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 in both the white house is keeping a very quiet over the whole situation even as the u.s. military admit that the strike is growing saying now the thirty one inmates are refusing food for the time being a lawyer claim numbers are much bigger. who's been following the protest the latest details. according to the center for constitutional rights the hunger strike began
6:05 am
on or around february sixth when prisoners decided to protest the confiscation of their personal. handling of their korans u.s. military officials. had been mishandled in any way. the white house for comment but a spokesperson for the white house referred us to the currently there are one hundred sixty six. still languishing on the island more than half of those have already been cleared for release and many of those most of them have been held there for more than a decade reporting from new york. city. for the seven weeks the hunger strike has been taking place. from. prison officials and international organizations so
6:06 am
you can head over to our special time line. you can get a break a picture of what's actually happening in guantanamo also respond to the protests. well it is another day of closed banks in cyprus grows over the bailout deal with the. thousands of students protesting in the capital in the. painful rescue plan and of course its ramifications for the deal to avoid bankruptcy could see large depositors losing up to eighty per cent of the savings a move seen by many as quote legalized theft contributor says the cyprus turmoil is an indication of a fading economic model. the main thing about cyprus is this is a clear example of the euro zone elite and let's face it right from the start of the euro zone project was an elite system at the expense of the poor and the poor
6:07 am
out there demonstrating in nicosia because they see that the confidence of the banking system is about confidence the initial panacea that they had to hook to the poorest people in cyprus as it were has already created panic and well it's the name of the bank governor and there isn't. the euro or countries where looking at right now and of course in the united states the government acts as a quasi private entity in itself and along with that kind of private for profit idea within the banking system there in mind the bubbles that will ultimately according to some analysts destroy the chinese call that western. live from moscow this is our t. emerging market giants china and brazil have agreed to trade the equivalent of up
6:08 am
to thirty billion dollars per year but in their own currencies the move is aim to challenging the longtime dominance of the greenback and the euro in global trade the so-called brics nations of brazil russia india china and south africa all been working to reinforce the clout of the world's fastest growing economies. got pissed off has the latest from the summit the south african city of durban. china and brazil have decided to deal basically to conduct nearly half of the payments between each other in the national currency the total treat turnover of between the two nations currently stands at around seventy five billion u.s. dollars now also another project currently being worked on here at the bric summit in south africa and has already been agreed in principle is the future establishment of a joint development bank possibly with a starter capital of around fifty billion us dollars and why is all of this happening as well the five members of the brics organisation for the past two
6:09 am
decades have been the most rapidly developing economies in the world and they do want to trade freely and how they want and they do want to be independent from financial problems in the current stagnating economic global system especially with the latest problems in the euro zone and other issues and turbulence in the global economy now moving with the currencies is also quite obvious that it helps the economies of the five member states of brics to be protected from things like currency wars or consequences related to the changes of the euro and of the dollar and establishing a joint development bank would also help them not be affected by problems in say the i.m.f. or the world bank so basically all the steps that have been made so far only pool for the key goal of this organization of brics to promote a multiple world and what we're witnessing here now is basically the transformation of bricks from a dialogue form to
6:10 am
a full scale strategic cooperation giant. if you go to school reporting there and in the meantime professor of economics and finance at new york university and lee she believes that many of the brics group's moves are triggered by the establishment's resistance to its growing influence they certainly are growing in more influence they're growing in wells perhaps down the road there are political power will also be stronger certainly the western countries have been resisting and this is part of the reason why you see them trying to create their own version of a development bank so that you know they don't have to feel that they're just excluded from the western club that they can now start their own club because they have enough. cohesion enough common interests to do so in the car and the strength to do so. well there's a certainly not been
6:11 am
a total consensus in a totally friendly atmosphere between all participants of the brics summit here we have have a look at this the russian presidential security details here who are trying to get into the summit who are being stopped ultimately by the south african summit security details here as well certainly it got pretty ugly in fact we'll continue to show you footage here where the well the south african employees of the security details of the summit got downright physical with the russian president's security details as well and we understand there was some point the russian protocol officials the one supposedly carrying the nuclear cases were allowed to go through however you can find a lot more of this footage. frankly rob the physical for now though coming your way in just a few minutes here on auti big brother is watching washington seeks ways to track citizens using an increasing number of drones but the move is meant by stark opposition from individual states. also we'll tell you why the arab league has
6:12 am
6:13 am
a nation of three couldn't take three construction just three to make amends three. three stooges free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects free medio dot harty dot com. thank you for joining us here on arts here i'm real research and moscow the arab league has given the green light for its members to send to syrian rebels despite fears that the syrian opposition is being increasingly infiltrated by foreign and she hottest fight has a bio me as a kiwi the editor of the pan-african news wire he says the arab league is pursuing its own agenda and extending support for the rebels we also have to understand the political composition of the arab league it has been dominated
6:14 am
a little last several years by the gulf emirates these elite forces. operating in countries that are not democratic themselves therefore they have no real moral basis for criticism of the government in damascus also on these arab emirates in the gulf heavily with the united states and the north atlantic treaty organization so it's really not surprising that in kata you would have a situation where the syrian government would be attacked and that you would have these opposition forces who are heavily divided themselves who have no real program for the future of syria and who have been reluctant and even obstinate in regard to negotiate any type of political settlement to the conflict in syria to be seated as a legitimate government of syria. and how the syrian conflict is increasingly
6:15 am
spreading beyond its borders finding itself at the crossroads of foreign interests and that's all up for debate with little of alan crosstalk that's coming your way in about an hour and fifteen minutes. is being supplied well you know it was leave supplied with thinking seriously down side they have to they were in resume well what kind of a talk is saying that iran is not syria is limited to the growth rate there is a lot of several in the situation it's false or just it's not true iran's role in the syrian uprising is really negligible because of the present moment there is the western powers of the us france britain other modules but i'm not. going to be levels i mean the same time that pouring petrol on a fire. well it appears the sky is the limit for u.s. law enforcement with aerial surveillance drones set to be used domestically but
6:16 am
capitol hill has certainly met some farmers systems to the plans to use guy nature can has more on the attempts to fight back against this federal project one point this documentary on u.s. public television touts the technological capabilities of drones and their new super sensors this in that was taken seventeen thousand five hundred feet above quantico virginia and covers fifteen square miles if we wanted to know what is going on in any spot along the seam i'd say near this building intersection we can generate a moving image that shows what's going on in the area the state of virginia was the first to stand up against this kind of surveillance in early february the state legislature passed a two year moratorium on the use of drones but the bill is yet to be signed by the state's governor who is known to be very supportive of the spy aircraft. the charlottesville virginia police. i've never used drones but the city council has
6:17 am
nonetheless restricted their use just in case these this technology is already being heavily marketed to local law enforcement agencies and other groups and there's even one county in virginia that already purchased two drones for surveillance and so we know it's coming and we just we want to get out ahead of it at least twenty seven states are now considering legislation to outline how drones can be used by law enforcement or to ground them all together but there are those who believe the lawmakers at first. the rise of the spy planes so they're taking the matter into their own hands a company in oregon says it is developed and will soon start selling to acknowledge that could shoot people from surveillance drones over the phone the developer did not offer any details but said this more not this able in their cameras or anything like that we are not doing anything physically to the drones we are simply not allowing their cameras look at area. also in the battle for privacy
6:18 am
a designer in new york came up with a name to sebelius clothing line this is a garment that's designed to be thermally reflective which means that he bounces off it and he does what's he was for thermal imaging in particular this technology is used a lot on drones and you refuse but it's doubtful that this designer is gear however creative could compete with the cutting edge spight acknowledging now being developed for government use a million terabytes of video a day which is the equivalent of five thousand hours of high definition footage so you can go back and say i would like to see what happened in this particular location three days two hours four minutes ago and it would actually show you exactly what happened and you feel watching it live there's actually enough resolution to be able to see that people were. saving their arms or walking around
6:19 am
where as a number of states try to restrict the federal level there is a great push. the federal aviation administration projects. there will be thirty. there's absolutely no way of knowing if we are being filmed at the moment so we might as well wave to big brother up there in washington. and bruised. but an autopsy report shows that. before. those details on the web site. is right through the windscreen of his. even more starting to write a book you. don't lose your head.
6:20 am
it's twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital just a second the world. immigrants who want to become british now have to study hard the u.k. government has introduced its citizenship test. many as three thousand the country's history and. even many british natives. also in scotland the famous british landmark in london's trafalgar square commemorate admiral nelson who died in the past or to follow in a scene
6:21 am
a fight but it's also now be on one of the questions persons since that time the way he is being criticized focusing too much on historical information and not enough on practical knowledge it's become a standard joke and i mean that's you know something which is supposed to be taken seriously and you know when it was first announced we were involved in a few little quiz sessions where even you know prominent members of the people who were in the past have been prominent members of the government were being asked questions like who would see the british king who expel the danes for. i'm guessing completely in hopelessly wrong and yet his discipline says these. very muffet say that by putting british culture and history at the heart of the system that they're ensuring that those who want to settle in britain permanently fully understand british life those criticisms about the test being overly complex and focusing too
6:22 am
much on historical information do the questions really represent what it means to be british was a find out we did some of these questions to members of the british public to find out how they fare which led looks a prehistoric monument which stands in the english country of will. the name of the admiral he's got a monument here in trafalgar square below the notion yes that's right ok we've got another one for you this is an assistant ship ties what you call the second largest party in the house of commons conservatives it is the opposition. you know one of the to the name of the admiral he died in battle in one thousand nine hundred five and has a monument here in trafalgar square. i'll give you. the no no. this is all sorts of questions i've gone through them it's not as
6:23 am
if these questions are good. people are going to be done online and they going to have plenty of opportunity to look through a very thin book but frankly for it if they can't do that then i think that. eighteen to twenty four questions correctly and the need to learn details historical backgrounds if they want to become. and many people do a lot more than one hundred fifty thousand people. almost eighty thousand of which were here in london. and into the day we go some of the global headlines for you now starting with me and where sectarian violence continues to escalate holes are where more curfews are being imposed as attacks on muslim communities are closer to the larger city of rangoon a state of emergency is in force in central regions and some forty deaths have been reported since the on the rest began a week ago the trouble broke out after
