4:01 pm
hello and a very good morning from. kevin owen here at the news center with you live now as you just heard our top stories really police have used tear gas and stun grenades disperse palestinian protesters at a border crossing with the west bank thousands of palestinians throughout the region have been rallying against israel's occupation of their territories they're marking a land day which commemorates the seizing of a large slice of arab territories by israel almost three decades ago. spoke to artie's really was a checkpoint during some of the fiercest scuffles. next running for a while like it had it has been subsiding here at the kalandia checkpoint between ramallah and is jerusalem but now even though the israeli military has pushed back slightly towards the checkpoint the demonstrators never the second team doing their advancement on them they have been they have began burning tires just very recently earlier there has been exchanges. they get between the protesters and the border
4:02 pm
police 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 the palestinians are showing no signs of giving up at all of the this this actually has the land 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
4:03 pm
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 bullets by these really 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 did not subside but they actually are growing especially over the past decade and especially under the government of the name in netanya awful what's happening around you right now we see people running we've seen fires in the back describe what's going on around you as well. while i can tell you that that ban was actually stun grenade i'm sorry it's not it's not particularly dangerous they just kind of really literally stuns 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 i have the tear gas dispersal units on them they're. they're
4:04 pm
edging they're trying to it's 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 special i don't know if 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 all rather full grown men to about thirty they're not go they're not showing any signs of via giving up. ridiculous because there was a top story this is really israel continually building new houses on palestinian land preventing the two sides from jumpstarting dialogue that could eventually lead to an independent palestinian state today dirty dot com the big question of the day is what do you think about it do you think is going to be a substantive substantial solution for the never ending conflict between the two sides were telling this is what you're telling us now is putting up on the board if we can oh heck we can't if you go to our to talk column i can tell you that yes we can good stuff technology beautiful and that the majority of you have to say it's
4:05 pm
been offering around these figures all night forty four forty five hundred forty four lost forty five percent say you think israel will simply absorb palestinian land into its own territory two of the nine percent think there will be no breakthrough until global powers stop using the conflicting side as pawns just the records of a couple of percent of a quarter twenty one percent think the situation's reached a dead end he decides going to be interested in dialogue only five percent of us to say optimistic at all that regional pressure is eventually going to sort this out between israel and palestine earlier we talked to mr for butties a member of the palestinian legislative council he believes israel is more likely to get its way to get in the way rather of any potential agreement been reached and take a listen in. this is not a conflict between two equal sides that don't have been able to find a way to solve the problem this is one side which is the israeli side occupying
4:06 pm
another for the longest occupation in modern history forty six years of occupation one side of pressing the palestinians 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 ministry and they are controlling the industry and commercial ministry and they are also controlling the finance committee in the israeli knesset and practically they control the policy regarding the occupied territories because also the minister of defense who is in charge of the army is also loyal to the settlers in the ality with such an israeli government it's impossible to move into a real peace process unless the punishment acts taking. still to come this hour sends another don't mess with me message north korea which rates it's serious about
4:07 pm
threatening war with the south with its claims once again stirring up the u.s. that's. no sign of improvement in the guantanamo hunger strike but a u.s. rights lawyer says the american public has very little awareness in fact what's actually happening inside camp delta. cypriots with six figure savings and many pensioners to now stand to see the bulk of their deposits wiped out europe's latest bailout terms dictated even wider cash grab them previously thought the central bank says up to two thirds of people savings above one hundred thousand euros to be drained in exchange for shares in collapsing banks and there are doubts whether the rest will ever be repaid that some thoughts on that when i. talk to patrick having said he's a journalist at the u k a column website patrick hi there are not a minute just a week ago cyprus to great fanfare rejected that ten percent tax now they're talking about up to a sixty percent tax i was that a breakthrough what went wrong well we're hearing. about three years ago to
4:08 pm
investigate and talk to people about what's really going on. you know this coming from the euro group just seems to be going to worse you know originally passed the roosevelt room two thousand euros thought they might see sixty percent of the. but now it's looking like they're going to get a big. basically thirty five percent in shares and one of the share is really worth it is an olive branch from the troika i can understand what's going on and me while i'm going to this later we see the economy is already starting to collapse and we found evidence of people we spoke to in the business a lot of analysts have said that this e.u. bailout but intentionally harsh maybe to teach a lesson but how could brussels benefit from it being intentionally harsh what's the reasoning there. well this is really cyprus if you look at the economy as
4:09 pm
a whole which started which is the fly on the back side of an elephant as far as germany and within europe are concerned and what they would like to do it with cyprus there's a geopolitical shape to this crisis this is really i believe what many cypriots are spoke to believe is about getting russian money and russian influence out they've also managed to dip in and take russian money through this crisis but they want to get russia's influence out of cyprus first for whatever reason and they're willing to sacrifice the cyprus economy to do it and i have lot to do with the oil and gas for sure but does future earnings and there will parlay ownership of that buy by loaning cyprus money so it allows the brits believe the bankers in northern europe will be going for their water board the electricity all the public utilities they're going to basically buy this country for pennies on the dollar well i got is this a one off or is it some kind of maybe template that could be used across other countries in the e.u. at some point the featurette yeah you know cypriots are amazing people and that's
4:10 pm
what i've learned since i've been here they're very patient they're very politically correct in terms of confrontation and very take things in stride and wait and see and i think that the troika knew this so they thought well this is this is about the easiest country in europe if you want to do a test run on grabbing people's savings this is the easiest country to do and so it is in a way you're right it is a template and what i'm afraid of is that you know that if you push these people too far. businesses are closed scheduled to close down in weeks and months if they can't get their business to back online due to some of the banks was lacking bank is this israel merchant account their credit card access is down this cat into cash or e.g. euro shortage suppliers around the island to demanding payment of invoices encounter . well good businesses don't have it pensioners who are from new britain are not
4:11 pm
receiving their pensions britain will not send pensions to cyprus so they're having to go back to england to redo their accounts so it's a disaster in the tourism trade will be hit hard this year as well but i guess the people that are bringing us said the people who were brought in the why the cuts across all of the you saying hey at least at least a year zero is still there and we've had many guests on including itself including patrick over the years going now the years do is gone gone gone still there. right now there's a lot of cypriots are saying the euro is worthless and not only that they can't even get their hands on it so the whole thing is in a way cyprus is was trapped by coming into the euro because one of the benefits they thought of joining the e.u. was that the e.u. would work out the cyprus greek cyprus and the turkish cypriot problem there could be autumn split in two and that would promise to never happen so the raid on entering the last president was no socialist president you ran on the dream of you
4:12 pm
read a vacation you resigned two weeks before the banks closed so it's a disaster here the people are realizing it and waking up to it and i think the rest of europe i mean if this happened you know if this happened in spain there would be riots in the streets buildings banks would be burned down it is happening in greece as well but because because cyprus was a soft target for the troika project thanks for the long project he said they have u.k. column website journalist on it thanks so much thank you. letter wants to sit idly by max and stacy delve into the separate crisis in late edition the kaiser report next hour in fact n r t they're also sharing as well the lack of optimism of britain's latest plan for a miracle comeback to. what 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
4:13 pm
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 or 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 in old britannia where over my shoulder you can see the plank above the mayor's office where boris johnson the mayor may very well commit suicide. next this morning the situation of america's most notorious detention camp is becoming increasingly desperate with lawyers acting for guantanamo inmates now claiming that clients are ready to die most of the prisoners are believed to be on weeks long hunger strike protesting against their illegal imprisonment and
4:14 pm
mistreating at the hands of guards several people have been hospitalized in russia does being force fed right now rights activists say the jail is pressuring the strikers to end their campaign but keeping temperatures inside the company freezing point all this is the still no sign of any political momentum to try and solve the guantanamo crisis thomas will know as a lawyer who's represented guantanamo detainees in the past he told me the general public in the us a barely aware of what's happening inside that 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 issues because they're people and it's also thrown up
4:15 pm
a tanned and said well congress are stopping us from doing anything my former clients fozzy 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 we'll be taking an in-depth look at the plight of guantanamo detainees bit later this hour and some breaking the sets on the air again at the martin challenging the idea to fill by some journalists inmates in a comfortable life there and should be grateful for being locked up. i forgot to mention one thing about the guantanamo bay hunger strike going on how damn good the
4:16 pm
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 good most strike detainees are treated absurdly well as absurdly well delicious meals video games for everyone's 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

4:23 pm
different specifications to take for example your high visibility jacket that can cost as much as up to one hundred pounds per unit in a spendthrift force compared to as 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 one has got velcro covering strap which the zip wears this body the zip 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 weight bearing stuff and yes it may be a look like cheap police federation's around the country have been very vocally protesting cuts to their budgets recently yet the public accounts committee says that instead of tackling cry and police forces are wasting resources time and money

all since the new pope was chosen the calls for reform are analysts everyone wants the new pope to allow this and to allow that but the problem is that the catholic church is a religion not a product and people don't like the way a pepsi bottle looks while the company will have to in theory change it to meet public demand but the pope claims to represent the will of the creator of the universe the pope supposedly holds and protects an ancient and eternal truth so how can you expect this eternal truth just up and change because of public demand even though they pretend like the 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 a charred 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
