cuts. at seven pm here in moscow you're watching our tea with me to say israeli police have used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse palestinian protesters at a border crossing with the west bank thousands of palestinians across the region are rallying today i gaze israel's occupation of their territories their mocking land a day which commemorates the seizure of a large slice of arab territories by israel almost three decades ago earlier i spoke to our tease. who's at a checkpoint where some of the fiercest scuffles two plates. it's action actually is running high it seemed for

a while like it had it has been subsiding here at the kalandia checkpoint between ramallah and mr islam but now even though the israeli military has pushed back slightly towards the checkpoint the demonstrators nevertheless a continuing their advancement on them they have been they have begun burning tires just very recently earlier there has been exchanges. they get between the protesters and the border police so when the protesters are throwing rocks at the israeli forces and the israeli forces were responding with us down grenades and tear gas it kind of comes and goes in waves but of course these are the palestinians are showing no signs of giving up at all of the of this this actually has the land to the demonstrations have been a tradition since one nine hundred seventy six when they occurred for the first time and six palestinians were killed in a confrontation with the israeli police and israeli armed forces and it has been happening every here as it is happening today last year the protests were extremely violent and they usually turn more violent in gaza where the israeli police and

military forces are generally using live ammunition and we know that at least one person has been wounded with live ammo earlier today in the gaza strip as for what's happening in the west bank where of course protesters being held by the palestinians all over the place there has been an exchange like i said stun grenades and tear gas we do not so we have asked the israeli forces whether they have used rubber bullets they have said no but palestinian media is reporting that there have been at least two wounds from from the use of rubber bullet by these rally for says of course the palestinians are protesting against the israelis sorry palestinians are protesting against these really occupation of land especially against the israeli settlements which not only do not subside but they actually are growing especially over the past decade and especially under the government of benyamin netanyahu what's happening around you right now we see people running we've seen fires in the back this is. what's going on around you guys well. what i

can tell you that that bank was actually stun grenade i'm sorry it's not it's not particularly dangerous they just kind of really literally stunned you and now we can see that the tear gas vehicle that has pulled up maybe we can turn around and you can see what's happening actually as we talk so we yeah we see the vehicles which are have the tear gas dispersal units on them they're. edging they're trying to edge the protesters out as we as we speak the protesters are lined up on the street on the hill right above there and see they're using these special these special i don't i don't know we want to call them the gadgets which with which they throw stones which are fly quite far i have to say majority of them are very young from even kids as young as ten to rather full grown men to about thirty they're not go they're not showing any signs of giving up. and it's your opinion and we're always interested in that today at our team dot com we all ask you do you think there's a substantial solution for the never ending conflict between israel and the palestinian

let's take a look at what you said so now this is all of the poll is shaping up of forty three percent of you think that israel will absorb palestinian land while twenty eight percent of you say no not the side that is interested in peace twenty six percent of you think there will be no breakthrough until global policy stop using the conference lies as they point while the three percent remaining there says yes regional pressure will force both sides into peace voice now on r.t. dot com. right and there's plenty more coming up for you on air in a few minutes and no let up in the egyptians opposition is outrage scuffle in muslim brotherhood and supporters there in the north of dozens injured while protesters in the capital drag their anger at the prosecutor general as we report shortly. plus so no sign of improvement in the guantanamo hunger

strike but a u.s. rights lawyer says the american public has very little awareness of what's actually happening inside camp delta. cypriots are with six figure savings and many pensioners now stand to see the bulk of their deposits wiped out europe slater's bailout terms dictate an even wider cash grab than previously thought the exact terms ought to be unveiled on saturday although some told banks as over of verge of the people savings above one hundred thousand euros will be drained in exchange for shares in collapsing banks risk by so daniel wagner says and none of it will 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 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 prompt more people in my estimation to run to the far right to become more nationalistic and to become more closed minded about the options that they would consider for their future. the situation at america's most notorious detention camp it's becoming increasingly desperate with lawyers acting for one ton of the inmates claiming they clients are ready to die most of the prison assad believed to be on a weeks long hunger strike protesting against the illegal imprisonment and

mistreatment at the hands of gods several people have been hospitalized in iran doesn't being force that rights of activists that say the j. lo's are pressuring the strikers to end a campaign by keeping temperatures inside the camp near freezing point meanwhile there's still no sign of any political momentum to try and solve the guantanamo crisis thomas will not a lawyer who has represented guantanamo detainees in the poll says the general public in the us are barely aware of what's going on at the camp. 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 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 the white house has said that it's still interested in closing guantanamo but i think

it's delegated the issue of their people and it's also thrown up its hands and said well congress is stopping us from doing anything my former client. was the allo to and by is 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 the u.s. courts have no authority to order a release of someone who is in guantanamo they are in the hands of the president the president has the authority to do it congress has said he could do it only with difficulty but he has the authority to do it he needs to step up to the plate and get it done back to our top story of of the land they in the palestine let's get to the top of most of all about gucci a member of a palestinian legislative council most of the city what do you think israel is

sticking to its settlement plan despite the will like the nation and the deadlock on the peace process. because israel doesn't believe in peace because this israeli government doesn't believe in the right of the palestinians to have their freedom and independence to it and through settlement activities they are practically killing the very last opportunity of peace based on two state solution this is a continuation of what israel did in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight they are continuing the process of land appropriation of land and excision and as a matter of fact this is not a conflict between two equal sides that. i'm able to find a way to solve the problem this is one side which is the israeli side occupying another for the longest occupation in modern history forty six years of occupation one side of pressing the palestinians one israeli side that is practically creating a system of apartheid and discrimination and racial discrimination that is

unprecedented in human history during his visit to president obama's signal that getting the peace process back on track will take loads of time in africa how do you see the priest process panning out. well i don't think there is any chance for peace process as long as we have this israeli government because what you have now inside the israeli government. ministers who are themselves settlers and this is the highest number of settlers who are sitting in the government they are also controlling the housing industry and they are controlling the industry and commercial industry and they are also controlling the finance committee in the israeli knesset and practically they control the policy regarding the occupied territories because the minister of defense who is in charge of the army is also loyal to the settlers in reality with such an israeli government it's

impossible to move into a real peace process unless the punishment act. what we need besides the popular nonviolent resistance that you are showing now on your screen what we need is an act of boycott divestment sanctions against this israeli policy like was used before with the south african apartheid system only then we can change the balance of power and we can find peace and let me tell you these demonstrations we've been in today and yesterday were nonviolent they were peaceful only and they were always present with severe violence from israeli are you which uses sound bombs tear gas bombs and gunshots even high velocity bullets besides metallic bullets of course sometimes the young people respond to that attack with with with throwing some stones but i think everybody can see the difference between the power but the stimulus have. missed about that let me ask you this then what is what could or if

washington could force the israelis actually stop its action mend activities would that make a difference or would do you think washington is even capable of that putting pressure on israel to stop the settlement. the only country in the world that can force israel to immediately stop settlement activity is the united states because israel is totally dependent on the united states and its army and its. military and even economy cleon financially the united states can do that but will it do it i don't think unfortunately we see a very powerful israeli lobby in the united states and we see that the american. side giving preference to the strategic alliance but many say maybe themselves that a modern day that obama doesn't always agree with israeli side i mean in the policy has been said you know he doesn't have as much popularity with what these whaley's

that do you think he is the man to do this we thought forty years ago we thought he would be the man because he declared in his speech in cairo two very important things he said there should be immediate freeze all settlement activities and he also said he that the struggle of the palestinians similar to the struggle of the civil rights movement against segregation and apartheid. and he asked us to stick to nonviolence which we did unfortunately during the last visit it seems that he forgot what he said or ignored it and he did not say a single word about the need to immediately freeze all settlement activities actually he was treated for much of what he said before he failed to. mention the popular nonviolent resistance in the occupied territories he failed to mention the need to support the struggle for freedom very slowly because we thought we would do not. a member of the palestinian legislative council thank you for your time and sharing

your thoughts here on r.t. thank you. right scenes of violence are once again marking the end of the we can imagine just turns and fire bombs left dozens injured in the northern city of alexandria and as supporters and opponents of president morsi and the muslim brotherhood clashed in cairo protesters surrounded the prosecutor's general office demanding his resignation over what they'd call on lawful action against the opposition. gunderson got it in front of the prosecutor's general office they are accusing the brotherhood of controlling the judiciary and also protesting against a recent summons in the fine fairy romain activist last week for their alleged involvement in the bloody clashes last week out in this most difficult is that in the capital projects it is a change shot to do with the prosecutor general's office and school to the arrest and something the current prosecutor from a weak position can sound is questionable off to the appeals court here in cairo

overturn the presidential decree appointing him how do we stop violence outside of cairo in egypt psychosis a tsunami appears street battles occurring between undercover protesters and what is yet to identify i think some people are saying that they are appropriate moment morsy supporters who are fighting the undercover protesters all business saying they're actually inflicted and shot i mean it's interesting to see what you speak is being said that moment folks and also be used also heard shots of the protests now in terms of the better part according to early presidential elections saying the present moment morsi has not implemented any changes that he promised and that he really is not fit to govern the country. more to come. as a country prepares for its first opposed the patient election almost a dozen kind of explosions and attacks as the terror network flexes its military muscle proclaiming record operational strength that's still coming up.

april you political analyst eric draitser told us that this is all a part of a high level talks wall and follows directly from the u.s. occupation. 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 us s hand picked successor to saddam hussein child lobby followed by the other u.s. darling alawi and so maliki really represents the us 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. the russian foreign ministry has accused the us of interfering in moscow's affairs that's what as quick as them from washington over a series of inspections and targeting n.g.o.s based in russia real financial has more details on the statements. moscow has accused washington of better phrased interfere ease into the country's internal affairs that's after us state department has described searches of around two thousand non-government organizations throughout russia as we chant and has claimed america will continue to fund some of

them through third agents based outside the country russia's foreign ministry has condemned this behavior calling these statements cynical and provocative and they get ministry spokesperson earlier on with the chevy has also added that russia understands why washington is so angry as most of the n.g.o.s being checked happen merican least also today russia's president vladimir putin has also announced that in two thousand and thirteen around seventy five million dollars of federal budget money will go to support the into those involved in socially oriented projects just to remind our viewers russian authorities have been checking are going to zation such as human rights groups were is groups known also structures environmental advocates with suspicion is that they might provide a front for foreign madelyne into russia's internal affairs but actually is having saying that these inspections are an attempt by kremlin to intimidate its critics.

a large newly elected and the three main parties are digging into their positions and have done so for more than a month since an inconclusive poll gave none of them a clear mandate. north korea was not in a state of war with the south is the latest in a series of statements which have regrets the rhetoric and tension between the two countries gangs being. to get him to buy american on a plane flying over the peninsula. and also also enduring tougher sanctions after conducting abandoned nuclear tests. in britain right now it cuts at any cost to leaving public workers fearing for their jobs such as the two thousand postal staff who walked off on the job on saturday in the latest industrial dispute the preserve though have one eye on their wardrobe artist explains whether management to cut their cloth. most of us in britain realising

you've spent 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 the police are wasting too much money on ordering different bits of uniform there are forty three police forces in england and wales and each one orders their clothes and their equipment separately and to different specifications to take for example your high visibility jacket that we call as much as up to one hundred pounds per unit in a bed preferable was combative little as twenty pounds per unit minimal 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 covering strap which was the zip was this. the zipper with no velcro

covering strop at. the last you need is a bit of bureaucracy get in the way of progress it makes sense to have standardized way of boring stuff and yes it will 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 some time together in order to increase them find power and drive down the costs of their uniforms otherwise persons bobbies might find that they're burning too many holes in all those different pockets care to see london. breaking the cent is coming up next with every mountain in just

a few minutes here on r.t. . plans to create a war medal for cyber warfare have been put on hold by the 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 medals 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 guys who are brave enough to storm the beaches on d.-day or slog through disease and sneak field swaps in vietnam so maybe for the sake of the prestige of the other medals let's just let the cybersecurity one go but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous. i mean. because i've seen a really nice. story so closely. it's. worse for the. white house says the. radio guy and four minutes from a click. away quote for opposed to just you suffer serious. i'm.

going on abby martin and this is breaking this is that so 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 being 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 as absurdly well delicious meals video games for everyone's then what a life what more could these prisoners possibly want maybe the freedom maybe to see their families.
