7:02 am
out in masses in the west bank and in gaza to protest the israeli land policy which they call discriminate of towards palestinians and say is breaching their human rights now that the protests have been happening since last since friday since last night where palestinians in several towns have come out to call for the end of the israeli occupation we have a very heavy border police presence here we were expecting more clashes to occur throughout the day not just here but also in northern israel and of course in several places across the west bank 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. report from two thousand and twelve which did a find that these are the settlements and the way israel treats palestinians is breaching their 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 the east jerusalem and ramallah are the prime example of how the situation really is in this region. full r.t. twitter feed for all the updates from the palestinian israeli border when tension is mounting. as a one ton of mongol strike me as it's a week of conditions of the protesting inmates allegedly becoming increasingly and bearable talk to a lawyer one of the striking detainees and she told us the gods are resorting to harsh tactics to pressure them to end a campaign. in guantanamo now also says the measures only encourage more detainees to join the hunger strike and describes her own client's plight. the first year that i saw him he was very weak he had not been able to sleep because he said said
7:04 am
the camp authorities had lowered the temperature in much of the camp to very very free 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 room the camp very cold and he had lost forty pounds when i saw him he used to weigh one hundred sixty seven edge is now one hundred twenty five pounds and when the prisoners began to strike it seemed that camp authorities began to treat someone harshly to try to end the strike and so many more men joined the strike to protest the searching of the qur'an and the worsening conditions and the more harsh treatment here there are many men who are cleared for release at least eighty six of them and now and they're also being treated as prisoners the refutation of the united states in the world is at stake here if he
7:05 am
really was does not come to table the government authorities here do not come to the table and discuss with the detainees the improvement of the conditions here there are men who are going to begin to die meanwhile there's still a lag of any political momentum to try and solve the guantanamo hunger strike crisis thomas wilma a lawyer who has represented guantanamo detainees in the pot says this flag coupled with the loss of any hope of release only makes the strength of more determined to face them. what's really wrong and the real cause of the hunger strike is the absolute desperation and 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 these are innocent people who are continue to be held my former clients. and. innocent people who are wrongly
7:06 am
hold the president and 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 kuantan him over the past three years if you talk to people in the united states they simply don't know about guantanamo they don't know today that eighty six of one 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 of corn were 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. there weeks long hunger strike at guantanamo bay is also the focus of breaking the set here on our team every mountain challenges the idea expressed by some journalists that life is not so bad at the detention center after all and the detainees should be grateful not protesting here's a taste of what's to come later this hour. to mention one thing about the

guantanamo bay hunger strike going on how damn good the prisoners have at their help in a robert johnson military defense editor and 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 has the other side of the get most strike detainees are treated absurdly well yes absurdly well delicious meals video games for everyone sports man well. life what more could these prisoners possibly want maybe the freedom maybe to see their families and up a normal life outside of a prison cell especially since a 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

7:09 am
a hat and somehow make what appears to be near worthless shares somehow very valuable then 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 into in countries 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 adrian says the cypress rescue package will be used as a template market analysts believe brussels is simply not able to prevent this from happening again one of them was called an injury or the founder of

conditions as we speak half an hour explains. they come here by the thousands carrying meager belongings and painful memories at the refugee camp in jordan as does search 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 the suffering still going on and 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
