eleven am in moscow this is r t with me marina joshie as it went tot of a hunger strike nears its eight through week conditions for the protesting inmates are allegedly becoming increasingly on bearable r.t. talk to a lawyer of one of the striking detainees and she told us the guards are resorting to harsh tactics to pressure them to end their campaign sending coco who isn't going time now also says the move only encourages more detainees to join the hunger strike and describe her own clients plight. the first say that i saw him he was very weak he had not been able to sleep because he said said the camp authorities had lowered the temperature in much of the camp to very very fruitful temperatures it's it appears that the guards here at the base are trying to end the hunger strike by making conditions more difficult for the prisoners here including making

the rooms the camp very cold and to have lost forty pounds when i saw him he used to weigh one hundred sixty seven eggs now one hundred twenty five pounds and when the prisoners began to strike it seemed that camp authorities began to treat them well harshly to try to end the strike and so many more men joined the strikes and protests the searching of the qur'an and the worsening conditions and more harsh treatment here there are many men who are cleared for release at least eighty six of them in now and they're also being treated as prisoners the refutation of the united states in the world is at stake here if the u.s. does not come from table the government authorities here do not come to the table and discuss it because he needs improvement of the conditions here there are men who are going to begin to die i mean while there's still a lack of any political momentum to try and solve the going time a hunger strike

a crisis telephone or a lawyer who has represented when tommo detainees in the past so this fact coupled with the loss of any hope for release only makes the strikers more determined to face their. what's really wrong and the real cause of the hunger strike is the absolute desperation in despair of these people eighty six of the people down there more than half of the people down there eighty six of them have been cleared for over three years easer innocent people who are continue to be held my former clients fozzy allo to and fires how condrey are innocent people who are wrongly held the president can get in and make sure that those people are released and sent home they don't pose a danger those people are desperate they want to die if they can't get out of guantanamo no one in the united states has been covering guantanamo for the past three years if you talk to people in the united states they simply don't know about

guantanamo bay they don't know today that eighty six of the hundred sixty six people down there are innocent have been cleared have already been cleared many of the others are also innocent they don't know that the people at guantanamo weren't picked up on a battlefield they were sold for bounties by northern alliance people they don't know these facts anymore because there is no coverage in the united states. now we saw how our strike at guantanamo bay is also the focus of breaking the step here on our team abby martin challenges the idea some journalists expressed that life is not so bad at the detention center after all and detainees should be grateful not protesting or here's a taste of what's to come a little later today. i'd like to mention one thing about the guantanamo bay hunger strike going on how damn good the prisoners have it there are in the robert johnson military defense editor at business insider the hunger strike is not only being overhyped but get mo is apparently more like a club med than it is

a prison headline and has the other side of the good most strike detainees are treated absurdly well as absurdly well delicious meals video games for everyone's sports then well life what more could these prisoners possibly want maybe the freedom maybe to see their families and have a normal life outside of a prison cell especially since the majority of already been cleared for release having been declared not guilty and just today it came out that as a punishment for the strike some of the prisoners are filing complaints and pleading for humanitarian aid for being denied a potable drinking water and heat yeah doesn't seem like that nice of a vacation getaway does it and hey robert johnson even though you think it most so absurdly awesome i'll bet you couldn't handle it for a week let alone the rest of your life without trial or charge on that note let's break.

scenes of violence are once again marking the and of the week in egypt clashes between supporters and opponents of the president and the ruling muslim brotherhood party erupted in cairo and to other cities does. those were injured in alexandria where size exchange stone throwing and fire bombs meanwhile in the capital protesters blocked the office of the prosecutor general outrage that actions the authorities have been taking advance the opposition well true has more from cairo. under the garbage in front of the course teaches general office they are accusing the brotherhood of controlling the judiciary and also protesting against a recent summons in the fine ferryboat this last week for their alleged involvement in the bloody clashes last week out in the book that had to say in the comfort of protest is a change to do with the post office and called for the arrest and something

becoming more. of a weak position can sound is questionable off to the appeals court here overturn the presidential decree of appointing him how do we find them outside of cairo in egypt that crisis if you don't exist right now there are these street battles occurring between undercover protesters and what is yet written by. some people saying that they are pro president mohamed morsy supporters who are fighting the undercover protesters all business saying they're actually infected and shocked by the news in the city but what do you think is being said that mona talks and also to use all the good shots i miss really becoming quite fierce in the comics on tree of the protests now in terms of the back office calling for the presidential elections saying that president morsi has not implemented any changes that he promised and that he really is not fit to govern the country. still had u.k. foley's face cutting their claws to suit the budget seeking to save more money

britain's government tries to get cheaper uniforms for its bobbies on the beat plus . leader the program will report on why maggie who have fled the syrian conflict feel they are being humiliated in foreign countries. before that though big depositors inside first largest bank are likely to see most of their savings wiped out they will reportedly get back less than forty percent of their money under the latest rescue package and only in shares instead of cash while the remainder may never be paid back the terms of the painful cyprus rescue are set to be finally announced on saturday then you walk in or see over risk advisory firm says even the share of switch the depositors will get are unlikely to bring and you really are. if the bank can pull a rabbit out of a hat and somehow make what appears to be near worthless shares somehow very valuable to and i suppose these the positives have some hope that they'll be

receiving some of their money back but at this point in time that doesn't look very likely and what's happening now is the rise of the far right in many parts of europe has only in some respects taken off it's been very strong in a country like greece with with golden dawn and instant country like switzerland where nearly a third of the popular vote in the most recent election went to the far right this type of action that we're seeing in greece in cyprus now and in greece is only going to fuel the fire is only going to comp more people in my estimation to run to the far right to become more nationalistic and to become more close minded about the options that they would consider for their future as a you insist cyprus rescue package won't be used as a template some market analysts believe brussels is simply not able to prevent this from happening again and one of them is karl denninger the founder of a finance blog and he says some countries outside of europe have even been inspired

by cyprus as example. the canadian government believe it or not just released a budget document and buried on the hundred forty third page of it is essentially the exact same template that was just used in cyprus so anyone that thinks that this is limited to a little island nation in the better training you've got to know isn't coming this is now what is going to be done to people and again it is not that they're at a loss or shouldn't be borne by these people in order if that is in fact the case the problem is that you have a government regulatory scheme pulls in europe and in other nations where they're supposed to be monitoring these institutions and closing them before they get in trouble like this and they are deliberately not doing their job and then when there is a problem all of a sudden the people with absolutely nothing to do with this lack of action are the ones who end up taking it on the chin. and

a little later this hour max kaiser and state herbert reveal how some banks are trying to shift the blame for their mistakes to some of the most helpless and vulnerable members of society. how your parents are stealing your money. by paying for benefits you won't be getting so here's a heads from a nurture saying it's your little granny who's stealing your money from social security and government deficits it's not the hedge fund managers it's not the stevie cohen's of the world it's not the lloyd blankfein to the world it's not the jamie diamonds of the world it's your little granny banks are just stealing money out of people's bank accounts they're victimizing their scapegoating little old ladies so little old ladies are the scapegoats for this whole granholm to feed the stevie cohen's of the world and then get all puffed up saying look i own eric holder i own barack obama i commit crime with impunity i own all the breakers and it's those grannies fault that soylent green watch is put grannies in your findus burgers and defendable gonna replace granny with a horse me have

a granny burger. twenty three people have been killed in a wave of suicide attacks on mosques in iraq the violence comes ahead of prevention elections in april and is said to be carried out by al qaida cells to scare locals away from the polls and the run up to the vote at least eleven candidates for governor have already been assassinated geo political analyst sarah drives her told us that this is all part of a high level turf war caused by the u.s. invasion. american presence is not simply quote unquote boots on the ground what you what you have to realize is that much of the iraqi political ruling class is handpicked by the united states take for example the ascendance of maliki to the to the role of prime minister this was in opposition to the un s hand-picked successor to saddam hussein be followed by the other u.s. darling a la we and so maliki really represents the u.s.

as worst nightmare and they have worked night and day to do whatever they can to destabilize maliki's government we should remember that al qaeda was created by the united states by the intelligence establishment of the west and to a large extent depending on situations that oftentimes works in their interests and iraq iraq is one battlefield of that we see that al qaeda is a potent weapon of the western powers in syria and much of that is spilled over into unbar province in iraq some of the al qaeda affiliated groups are certainly questionable as to their origins and i think that al qaeda is in many ways that destabilizing force that is needed in order to create the necessary chaos and pretext in iraq for some kind of an intervention whether that be indigenous regime change or from the outside but the political crisis is taking on a geo political international dimension and that is the real story here in bahrain twenty one doctors have been cleared of involvement in illegal anti-government

protests but maddux have spanned more than a year and a half behind bars for as they say treating injured demonstrators dozens of health workers along with opposition activists have been arrested and charged since the uprising began more than two years ago dr fifteen haji faced similar charges as there was clear today and she told us what she had to go through during her confinement. line called a. line . and that. if something isn't going to take your time then. to give your physical and psychological ok we've been denied from speaking for our . standing for days not given food or owner. who are hard to get seen so we know how it works one last thing you think the.

welcome back you're watching our t.v. now u.k. spending cuts to its fleece force are now focusing on how officers look at the government seeks ways to boost its budget the boys in blue are under pressure to curb spending on uniforms and protective clothing. explains. most of us have been that realizing you spend too much money on clothes especially when your budgets already squeezed it could happen to anyone but this time it's the boys in blue the u.k. government spending more stalled says that police are wasting too much. on ordering different brits in uniform there are forty three police forces in england and wales and each one orders that clothes on their equipment separately and to different

specifications to take for example your high visibility jacket back to call as much as up to one hundred pounds per unit in a bench press force combative little as twenty pounds per unit in a more frugal constabulary lots of four hundred percent difference in price and the same applies to all the commonplace items that you'd expect would be standard issues such as boots handcuffs and even body armor this was his goal velcro covered strap which was the zip. zip with no velcro covering strop. the last you need is a bit of bureaucracy get in the way of progress it makes sense to have one standardized way of buying stuff and yes it would be a look like cheap police federation around the country have been very vocally protesting cuts to their budgets recently yet the public accounts committee says that instead of tackling kwai and police forces are wasting resources time and

money on disagreeing over how many pockets they should have on their uniforms for national audit office says that police forces around the country simply need to be found together in order to increase them find power and drive down the costs of their uniforms otherwise britain's bobbies might find that they are burning too many holes in all those different pockets. see london. more new videos on our website r t dot com including the focus shima disaster could have been avoided that's according to japanese power company tap co who initially claimed the main cause of the accident was the deadly tsunami that struck japan we'll find out online why the company has now decided to finally. admit responsibility plus. rescue operation in lafayette were a helicopter and navy ships saved more than two hundred people trapped on ice floes

they have drifted away from the shore by more calm. the un as a rebuke turkey over claims that it forced hundreds of syrians to return to their country after riot at a border refugee camp a violent protest over living conditions was reportedly caused by the death of a seven year old girl in a tank fire an estimated one million people have left syria since the beginning of the civil conflict two years ago was mannie fleeing to neighboring turkey and jordan but having left for safer a wife mandy now feel they have ended up living in humiliating conditions as lucic often have now explains. they come here by the thousands carrying meager belongings

and painful memories at the zaatari refugee camp in jordan as desert a shortage of nearly everything has turned daily life into a battle for survival. everything is hard here we don't have clean water to drink and it makes the children sick. for others despair has turned to anger. inside the calm their suffering in syria we're suffering why is this suffering still going on why the hell with human rights to hell with the world to hell with the big countries. but those living in camps are only the most visible part of the problem the tip of the iceberg in a disaster that is far more vast than meets the eye around eighty percent of jordan's syrian refugees live in cities and towns many of them are concentrated right here in urban about twenty kilometers from the syrian border and while camp

life certainly is hard urban refugees have problems of their own abdullah brought his family to jordan after their home was destroyed in the war they now share this two room apartment with another syrian family. we felt we couldn't stay inside the towns because of our children we found this home but we can barely pay the rent there is no help with food or supplies for people like us no one has mercy on us this mother of six also lives here she tells us her daughter hasn't had milk in three days they've run out of money and they don't know where to turn to for help. ifas unfair here is full of humiliation how can we live. aid groups call them the invisible victims of the compass the one which is the easiest to see whereas if you how families who are spread over a small city of course they're much more difficult to find they tend to stay to remain isolated very very quickly run out of means because many of the families who have arrived late due north arrive basically without anything local charities

catering to urban refugees do exist but they're struggling to this clinic for syrian refugees depends entirely on donations but it hasn't been able to buy new medicines for days the money simply isn't coming in and that means no medication for this syrian baby at least for now just like the countless refugees languishing in camps and struggling in cities his parents will have to wait in hopes of help lucy calford of r t jordan. now to some other stories making headlines around the world north korea says it has an dirty state of war with south korea a statement pyongyang says it would respond without mercy to any action from seoul that would harm its sovereignty but indicated it was not about to mount a preemptive strike tensions in the area. for months with north korea remaining defiant in the face of international efforts to hold its nuclear program.

a spate of deadly mining accidents has struck child up twenty eight people have been killed by a gas blast at a coal mine in the country's north eastern province of dylan and another incident over eighty workers have been buried by a huge landslide of a goal by a mountainous area of tibet almost two thousand rescuers have been dispatched to the area but no survivors have you have been found. clashes have erupted between palestinians and israeli security forces in the west bank on the eve of mass protests to mark the so-called land day demonstrations on march thirtieth commemorate the nineteen seventy six israeli government announcement that it would have said. the arab land and the galaxy region which resulted in dad lee rallies thousands of palestinians are expected to take to the streets on saturday to van their fury against what they call discriminatory israeli settlement policies. and thousands have taken to the streets of

chicago to voice their anger against some president plans to shut down dozens of schools in the city the rally a result in fines for scores of protesters the closures are aimed at plugging our one billion dollar budget gap with ortiz determines to go on with their plans despite mass protests are due to see a joke in our reports. record single school closure in u.s. history versus the people. chicago the third largest city in america plans to shut down fifty four public schools by autumn this year it makes us feel like we are not important to anybody it makes us so much harder for us to get an education in school. thousands of protesters flooded onto the streets of the windy city to rally against this measure the demonstrators believe officials are targeting the vulnerable youths in the

least well off neighborhoods. for several hours emotions ran high. one hundred sixty demonstrators were arrested including this organizer we're talking about a number of school closures that has not been paralleled in this country's history other than hurricane katrina a total of sixty one school buildings including this one are targeted currently teaching thirty thousand students and amounting to ten percent of all of them entry schools in the city chicago officials say the step is key in closing a one billion dollar budget deficit but parents teachers and students refuse to accept this activist and parent sabrina moore he lives in a home with eleven chill. she calls the closures racism ninety percent of the schools are in african-american communities where is our kids going to go to school they go to cross through terrible neighborhoods gay infested neighborhoods. the protesters have calmed for now but promise to return to fight for education justice

if their voices remain ignored even though the final vote on the mass closures and the cuts to teachers wages won't come until the end of may and the schools won't be shut until august this is already a bright example of in need of a system overhaul its budget gaps are being filled at the expense of the future of children as they see turkana are key chicago illinois. and the kaiser report starts here in just a few moments don't go away. players to create a war medal for cyber warfare have been put on hold by new defense secretary chuck hagel but should they have been put on hold i mean hackers a drone operators do play a real important role in modern militaries and there are already u.s.

military medals for things that don't involve people shooting at you the antarctic a service medals given by the department of defense for service between fifteen and thirty consecutive days in antarctica although the cold down there is potentially deadly no penguins are going to storm the base with kalashnikovs the homeland security distinguished service medal has also never been issued to anyone on the battlefield because thankfully for america there haven't been any invading armies in the homeland so is there precedent for a medal like cyber warfare battles i mean yes just there is but when you think about it giving someone a medal for using a mouse to blow up blips on a monitor really seems to devalue the medals of the guy. were brave enough to storm the beaches on d.-day or slog through disease and sneak filled swamps and vietnam so maybe for the sake of the prestige of the other metals let's just let the cybersecurity one go but that's just my opinion.

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser when i told you about gold that is to say told you to buy gold four years ago right here in the kaiser report many of you asked but what if the government confiscates our gold maybe the more intelligent question you should have been asking was what if they seize your bank account when i talk to you about bitcoin that is to say i told you to buy a bit coin of five dollars per bitcoin you screeched what if they shut down the internet well maybe you should have been asking what if they shut down all the banks well it's too late now the template has been set and while europe melts down let's see what the template holds for the united kingdom oh right here you know.
