6:00 am
one time a gonzo excuse of creating i'm bearable conditions for the hunger strikers pressuring them to end the weeks long protests with tactics the detainees lawyers describes as excessively harsh. egypt and golf in a fresh protests as an add to government rally in alexandria sees clashes and injuries and anger girls a cry rodin's the resignation off of the prosecutor general. and big a deposit as in cyprus are about to take a major hit with the growing likelihood that their savings will be swallowed by the island's biggest bank as details of the e.u.'s i'm president of bail package emerge .
6:01 am
it's a two pm here in a moscow you'll have with us on our two you with me to say it's good to have your company with us this saturday. the first the first i saw israel's police have used tear gas to disperse palestinian protesters at a border crossing with the west bank thousands of palestinians across the region are rallying today against israel's occupation all the territories the annual land to day demonstrations commemorate the israeli government's seizure of twenty seven years ago of a large chunk of arab land which resulted in deadly rallies artie's irina joins us now from the checkpoint at the palestinian israeli border where tensions are running high it really not just of trauma the way begin that you're wearing right now and where you are it looks like tensions are running high what can you tell us . well i can tell you that the the most an easy thing about being here is probably
6:02 am
the fact that it seems to be really aggravated at one point and then five minutes later it looks like almost nothing is happening at it and goes and rounds and rounds and rounds there certainly has been some tear gas used that has been used for radically throughout the last hour hour and a half or so there were stun grenades being thrown by the border police one of those blew up under my feet it wasn't very pleasant feeling other than that they're worried looks like there were crowds of protesters coming up towards us and then they seem to have dispersed and kind of spread out throughout the area so we're kind of on high alert right now you never know what exactly is going to happen the next minute but we do see there i can also see a noise kevin that's hidden right here on next to the checkpoint and of course the border police are on alert as well now the process you can say have begun actually on friday and several places in the west bank most of course most of the demands which the palestinian protesters are expressing are for the for the israeli
6:03 am
government to stop their plans for. for the expansion off the israeli settlements in the west bank and in the gaza strip and of course they're also calling for the freeze to free the palestinian prisoners from these israeli jails. but at this point we do know that the majority of the closest to happening in the west bank but there are also some happening in towns in northern israel where the arabs the israeli arabs are also marking the land day along with palestinians who reside in the west bank and gaza strip and that the main the main grievance off the palestinians here is the fact that. not only the number of palestinian settlements does not does not subside it actually is growing and over the past decade there has been an increase in the number of israeli settlements in the west bank and now if you look at the numbers there is just over three million palestinians living in the palestinian territories and there is more the. two hundred israeli settlement
6:04 am
settlements with more than a million and more than a million israelis living there so the palestinians are saying that israel is essentially taking away their land the. is kicking them out and is obstructing their human rights and right now at this you know the settlement issue has always been a long it's been the center of the israeli palestinian peace process mehdi everybody international people have everyone has wanted to mediate to try to get a resolution where all we now in resolving this issue. we can say we're still at the crossroads and we're facing we were facing actually head on a. dead end at this point it was expected the president obama would make way during his very recent visit to israel and palestine which happened just last week but obama did say that these settlements are impeding the peace process but he didn't go any further than that although many have expected that he will put more pressure on the israeli government than he did now of course there's also the u.n.
6:05 am
report from two thousand and twelve which did a find that these are settlements and the way israel treats palestinians is breaching their human rights they said that the israelis of the settlements essentially are. our other reason why the palestinians are being forced off the land in which they live rises during their crops and it is basically a major violation of the palestinians human rights other than that of course the situation doesn't seem to waver in any one way one direction and today's clashes which are happening in the west bank and even here at the checkpoint between east jerusalem and ramallah are the prime example of how the situation really is in this region there were no doubt that things are getting a little bit tense way you all we can see just behind you of course those offices there and you know in school gasol do take care and well we'll catch up with you with an update on. the guantanamo hunger strike and he has a the we think the conditions for the protesting in. alleges they're becoming increasingly
6:06 am
unbearable r.t. talked to a lawyer of one of the striking detainees and she told us of the girls are resorting to hamas tactics to pressure them to end a campaign then deep under guard who is in guantanamo now also says the measures only encourages more detainees to join the hunger strike and described her own clients apply. the first year 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 free temperatures it's it's here that's 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 room the camp very cold and he had lost forty pounds when i saw him he used to weigh one hundred sixty seven said he's now one hundred twenty five pounds and when the prisoners began to
6:07 am
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 there and they're also being treated as prisoners the refutation of the united states in the world is at stake here if he really was does not come through cable the government authorities here do not come to the table and discuss it with the team needs improvement of the conditions here there are men who are going to begin to die. meanwhile still a lack of any political momentum to try to solve the guantanamo hunger strike crisis from a film that a lawyer who has represented guantanamo detainees in the pa says this fact coupled
6:08 am
with the loss of any hope for release only makes the strikers more determined to face death 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 kuantan a moment 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
6:09 am
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. the week's long hunger strike at guantanamo bay is also the focus of the breaking the set on our team every well it's intelligence the idea expressed by some journalists that life is not so bad at the detention center after all and that detainees should be grateful not protesting here's a taste of what's to come next. i forgot to mention one thing about the guantanamo bay hunger strike going on how damn good the prisoners have it there are in a robert johnson military defense editor at business insider the hunger strike is not only been overhyped but get mo is apparently more like a club med than it is a prison about this headline it is the other side of the good most strike detainees
6:10 am
are treated absurdly well as absurdly well delicious meals video games for everyone's sports man well life what more could these prisoners possibly want maybe the freedom 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.
6:11 am
they deposited inside prison bank likely to see most of their savings wiped out there will reportedly get back less of them forty percent of the money under the latest rescue package and only inches instead of cash while the remainder may never be paid back the terms of the painful cyprus a rescue all set to be finally announced on saturday daniel wegner c.e.o. of a risk advisory firm says even though she says the wish of the depositors will get on likely to bring any relief if the bank can pull a rabbit out of a hat and somehow make what appears to be near worthless shares somehow very valuable and i suppose these depositors 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 in countries like switzerland where
6:12 am
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 the e.u. insists the cyprus rescue package won't be used as a template as some get out of this believe brussels simply not able to prevent this from happening again one of them is called and injure. the finance blog he says are some countries on side of europe even a been inspired by cyprus is 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
6:13 am
this is limited to a little island nation in the better training and you got to know this incoming this is now what is going to be done to people and again it is not that there are that the losses should be borne by these people in order if that is in fact the case the problem is that you have a government regulatory scheme bulls in europe and in other nations where they are 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 chance. later today max keiser and stacy i have a degree of alehouse some banks are trying to shift the blame for their mistakes to some of the most helpless and vulnerable members of society our your grandparents are stealing your money. by paying for benefits you won't be getting so here's

6:28 am
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 charge 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.
