hunger strikers added one time of day prison are allegedly pressure or two and there are weeks long broadus while the u.s. military failed to address the situation that increasingly threatens to turn deadly . british intelligence chiefs warned the u.k. could face terrorist attacks by u.k. citizens that have been aiding gravels forces in syria as the government calls for the rights to see an arms to the opposition. and a russian so you spacecraft carrying it approved three successfully docks with the international space station following a record breaking flight of just six hours. this

is already coming to you live from the russian capital i'm marina joshing welcome to the program the hunger strikers at guantanamo bay are accusing authorities there of pressuring them to and their protests by denying them drinking water and keeping their cells of frigid temperatures at least eleven inmates protesting mistreatment and indefinite detention are being force fed a practice their lawyers say is highly controversial at the same time no movement and the weeks long strike has been seen at a high level was the pentagon completely ignoring the situation at its latest briefing are going to count was there for us. not a word from defense secretary chuck hagel on the situation in guantanamo i was at a news conference with the defense secretary this thursday at the pentagon he never to my question i frankly don't know why i was right there in front of him raising my hand as everyone else as you know half of the many guantanamo have been cleared

for release many of them years ago yet they're still there locked up stuck in this limbo desperate and i was going to ask when they will let these men go and whether it would make any difference if somebody died in this ongoing hunger strike again i never got the chance to ask that question the pentagon has just requested almost two hundred million dollars to renovate the guantanamo prison that kind of investment may suggest that they're not planning to shutting down anytime soon at the beginning of the year the state department closed the office that was in charge of closing the prison i went to a state department briefing earlier this week again never got a chance to ask a question it's either they watch our t.v. or the media person they're just didn't take questions from anyone who is not attending to the briefings on a daily basis which i don't one way or another our questions remain unanswered they're the only person who has been responding to our inquiries about the situation with the detainees was robert during the spokesman for guantanamo but the only comments he can offer are about the health of the detainees which is apparently deteriorating and also the latest numbers as far as how many detainees

are on strike at the moment the latest we have from him is thirty one person but that's it there's complete silence on the most important questions about the future of the prison what's going to happen to these people president obama's spokesperson said the president's team is closely monitoring the hunger strikers guantanamo bay and i can tell you that the administration remains committed to closing the detention facility at guantanamo bay but at the same time offering no specifics as to weigh in and how and how are they going to do that if the pentagon is requesting millions of dollars to renovate it. well for of the weeks the hunger strike has been taking place r.t.d. has been badgering not only authorities in the u.s. but also international human rights groups and the detainees attorneys for full accounts of the situation for all the information we've got gathered for you you can head to respectable time line section on r t v dot com. now british

intelligence chiefs are warning that if you came muslims fighting in syria could soon return in carry out terrorist attacks in britain the home office says hundreds of europeans who are fighting alongside syrian rebels are gaining experience from groups like al qaida the warning comes as the british government pushes for the right to supply the syrian opposition with weapons or the surf takes a closer look at the growing terrorist threat. this is the first annual report on the counterterrorism strategy and in it they highlighted the growing security threat from syria where al qaeda affiliates were tracking hundreds of fighters from europe now let's take a look at some of what the report says and they said as and when u.k. residents for ten there's a risk that they may carry out attacks using skills that they've developed teva sees no these are concerns that are only being highlighted by the british

government but also being highlighted by the european members as well recently we saw the dutch heighten their security threat level as they said that they thought they had around one hundred foreign fighters that had gone to syria and these are also the concerns that i think you've been echoed by france as well so it's certainly not just a problem concerning for if in one obviously that we've seen highlighted in this counterterrorism strategy reports and certainly i think a lot of concern amongst the british authorities with seeing these young british people fighting in the war zone now i'm joined by freelancer in journalist money thank you very much for joining us we were speaking about this subject a couple of weeks before the report was released and obviously this is something that is already going on and i know you've spoken to the friends of the young british man and he was actually the first confirmed british fighter he died over in syria can you tell us

a bit about that well you know. it was only twenty one when he died in syria and already he was a veteran of the libyan libyan war against can gadhafi. despite his young age of the quite difficult he studied. for his life is very much. the friends that i've spoken to is very much very british in many ways is a london boy despite that i think you found. in syria very attractive fish authorities are very concerned he. highlighted in this count terrorism report how worried should they be how much of a threat do you think it says to britain well i think that the report said there were probably around one hundred fighters i think the real numbers probably higher would be most concerning for the british security services of british muslims of asian descent of the pakistan you bangladesh or india who might go to places like syria because they're the ones in the past ten years or so who've been involved in the most dangerous terrorist threats in the u.k.

thank you very much for joining us and they describe the phenomena i don't think anyone could have had any idea of just how complex and how far reaching implications of what is happening in syria right now being we have the u.n. envoy to syria speaking today calling for the desperately need for all sites to come together once again trying to find a resolution to the conflict all they were m.p. for birmingham how to mahmud says the u.k. saw similar terror threats before the conflict in syria i'm glad that this is now in their horizons because once you put people out there. they get that sort of training to get the ability to use the weapons that are available to them one become back here one to start to feel discontented disquiet about particular issues then resort to that and that's happened before we know topple and certainly in afghanistan in iraq and we want to learn those lessons and we have those lessons.

two years of ruthless conflict have completely transformed the image of syria turkey dot com you'll find some striking photos from the city of tehran dobbed the city of the dads along god to take a look. cypriots have been queuing to take their cash as the country's banks reopen after a nearly two week long standstill strict limits have been imposed including a cap on daily was drawls of three hundred euro per person restrictions which cyber say will last for a month or year one van overtveldt editor in chief of the trans magazine thinks they're likely to stay for much longer be vocht away from the bail out scenario to the built in scenario and they're in there you go first of all to the shareholders of the banks and then the insured deposit told us and it's first tried out and i know here in cyprus you also have installed capital control mechanisms which are

indeed totally new in this situation they are contradictory to the very principles of monetary union and when they last only for a few weeks well we'll have to wait and see what happened then if they last longer and really the chances are much larger that they will have to be kept intact over a much longer period than a few weeks then the ballgame changes then we have a new situation and we will have just to wait how markets how bombed all those are deposits all those are we investors react to the fact that one two and three becomes an isolated country within the eurozone in fact creating two separate euros . all oren's freeman and alice for executive intelligence review magazine says it's your early for brussels to pop the champagne corks because the banks will continue to cause turbulence across the euro zone. i don't think cyprus has been saved i think the people in cyprus believe that would do what you have right now is the

beginning of the end of the euro. the euro house is burning and it cannot be saved because of what people see and what the european leadership aides say is that this is the template for the rest of europe so when the banking system is failing which you will continue to fail they now are going to take money from the people and they're going to take that the prizes are essentially stealing money from the people. and while the e.u. decision makers so far failing to stem the contagion disappointed students all across europe teamed up to tackle the problem we report on that later this hour. plus the power of radical hamas gains momentum in the west bank as more and more palestinians accuse their government of failing to resolve the political deadlock with israel that are more just ahead for you.

on line correspondence as it is taking place washington is working on legislation that would force email cloud services and chop providers like skype to install in surveillance equipment within their networks that equipment would give the u.s. intelligence community the ability to monitor online correspondence in real time basically the same way that the f.b.i. could listen in on phone conversations with court approval under love. the phone companies were required by law to implement technology that allows this wire when you're looking at something like skype or some of the other networks those laws do not apply to these places and the f.b.i. is saying we need to change that law because when we go to a company sometimes we get cooperation and technical assistance sometimes we don't and that's just not enough courtesy of the electronic communications privacy act the f.b.i. can already out says archives of e-mails tweets and transcripts but clearly that's

a lack of high profile dialogue is causing even more of a sand in the rest of region. anger on the streets of ramallah against a palestinian government people here say is too weak inactive to bring peace after years of negotiations between the two sides campaign protest as israeli settlements have only expanded and the occupation deepened. the palestinian authority is part of the problem and not the solution present a bass is a servant of the israeli occupation israel wants from the palestinian authority to things as security agents and a financial agent so it can control the palestinian people the palestinian authority does this for them jamal juma organizes regular demonstrations against the palestinian authority he says if there was one thing that would change his opinion it would be if he saw real progress from palestinian israeli dialogue but the two sides haven't sat down together since september two thousand and ten many moderate palestinians are losing faith and looking across the border for inspiration but there are more there by this many and this prayer of the more

hamas will again if they don't believe in with. hamas was achieved with violence. what does not appear. to. have been the president abbas says he won't talk of tel aviv unless there's a freeze on israeli settlement construction something prime minister netanyahu won't agree on especially now in lieu of his new right wing coalition government the irony by refusing to talk with the p.a. netanyahu is helping strengthen israel's archenemy us what has that and the position of hamas and all opposition and palestine is the failure of forcible. please remember that twenty years have passed almost sort of agreement was signed what is the outcome more settlements more segregation apartheid wall shake mahmoud abu tira once cut

a lonely figure in ramallah he was among the minority of west bank palestinians who supported him us he spent seven years in an israeli prison he says because he won a seat in the palestinian government on hamas ticket he blames the p.a. as much as israel. we hamas have roots in historical depth we are more strong in the west bank than in gaza since the elections of two thousand and six in spite of all the arresting and all the harm that our youth suffers in the palestinian authority prisons people are convinced of our way our truth we worked and we are working for the people we are helping them and because of that they arrest us. but chip is not worried about being arrested again despite his intention to stand again for palestinian parliamentary elections due to be held later this year he says he doesn't even have to come pain he merely has to sit and wait while television promotes his cause although no date has been saved for the next palestinian elections people here are starting to think about who to vote for

and while the must will never be as popular in the west bank as it is in gaza it's certainly giving the other political candidates a run for their money here on t.v. ramallah. and now is to look at some other stories from around the world north korea iran syria blogs a u.n. treaty aimed at the regulation of the international arms trade un secretary-general ban ki moon earlier suspended the meeting hoping to persuade them to go back on their decision iran claims that a draft treaty nor is there a legitimate demand to prohibit the flow of arms to those who commit aggression when ordered to come into force the draft needs to be supported by all one hundred ninety three un member states. the funeral profession for a bahraini activists was killed in clashes with police has been dispersed by security forces authorities used tear gas and stun grenades against the mourners according to reports manny were injured during the crackdown the gulf has been

now amid widespread disappointment in doubt read the europe and new movement is becoming more and more popular in its challenge to brussels handling of. students from all over the continent and are teaming up to express their ideas on how europe should shape up artist peter oliver reports. europe it's got food it's got culture it's certainly got history but it also has an increasing number of young people that feel that their future is being sold from underneath. this group of students for liberty is seeing its membership swelled by young people dissatisfied with the status quo they believe in a hardline version of capitalism and their ranks are growing and growing and growing this weekend we have four hundred students here from forty five forty four countries i never thought it was possible it is very exciting to see this growth all over europe and the demand is huge for these ideas so i'm very optimistic for

the future there conferences are organized by young people for young people they aren't financially backed by any political party and everyone who made their way here did so out of their own pockets they haven't got an overnight fix for europe's woes but they say it's time the new approaches i think it's quite a dangerous situation because that means that you have politicians and bureaucrats ruling over nearly five hundred million people and so not not necessarily do they know always what the best things are for us the changes they want to see include more freedom to do business less interference from bureaucrats and the decentralization of power away from brussels today's europe the most important problem with it is the overextension of the unit chill goal. they were designed to to maintain peace have a free market to make sure people could move freely around europe and have started

like building a new nation or trying to build a new nation as the next generation they want to contribute to europe's future something they believe they're being denied at the moment i think it's a expression of the fact that people young people in europe feel stripped of their own power of their you know their own right. it's almost i mean we have fifty percent unemployment among young people in spain how can you feel empowered when you can't get a job and it's that feeling of being left behind that pushes this group of young people to look for a way to change their situation these are all of the r.t. live in belgium and i'll be back with more of a nationally is about thirty minutes time before that though stay with us for technology update here on our team.
