and that's why the pm here in the russian capital hope you're having a great day so far it's good to have you with us here on r.t. riots have broken out in several israeli prisons over the death of a palestinian inmate my sorry was a serving a life sentence and he had throat cancer but as soon officials as say israel refused to give him vital treatment but israel insists it did ask for an early release but it was already too late has the story. he started feeling ill last summer and he has asked the authorities for check ups but they basically have done those check ups but never told him exactly what was happening and even though the man was obviously lost more than fifteen kilos in less than two months they still kept him in the dark as well as his family until they've told him just in march of

this year that he had terminal cancer and literally had to live so the minister for prison affairs of the palestinian authority has already said that israeli actions in this instance are heinous because. the prisoner did not receive timely medical help and he also called for an international investigation into the death of up to him via now of course this is something that left a lot of palestinians incredibly angry in fact we are we can expect protests throughout several cities of palestinian authority but we do know at this point that in several israeli jails palestinian prisoners already staging. actions of protests there are throwing things around and burying on their cell doors because this is not the first time that something like this has happened just in february another palestinian inmate just thirty years old died of an apparent heart attack was in jail since two thousand and two he was imprisoned on charges of conspiring

with hamas terrorists he was sentenced to ninety nine years in prison and i was really viciously that they have sent in the people for the for the early release of a due to his ailing health but unfortunately he died before that appeal could be processed by the israeli officials the environmental damage from a mess of oil spill in that console town is becoming clearer as cleanup efforts for the continue a residential area was swarmed to with thousands of barrels of crude what a pipeline burst last friday dozens of homes had to be evacuated more details now from gay and she can. exxon mobil is naturally trying to downplay environmental concerns they're not saying exactly how much oil spilled onto the streets of that neighborhood in arkansas but the company says it has already collected more than twelve thousand barrels of oil mixed with water from the affected area not clear how much of it was water though twenty three homes were evacuated there as they're still cleaning up the pipeline that was carrying canadian heavy crudes to the south

of the u.s. this is the country's gulf coast refineries this latest spill response from critics of the proposed keystone x.l. pipeline the keystone x.l. pipeline would carry eight hundred thousand barrels per day just to compare the pipe that leaked in arkansas can carry around ninety thousand barrels a day so the consequences of a leak could be devastating the keystone pipeline would also carry canadian heavy crudes to us with finally seeing the self the project doesn't have the final green light from the administration just yet but the oil giants involved are pushing the administration very hard to go ahead with it saying it will bring down fuel costs in the u.s. trans canada is first keystone line in the deal was spilled the a dozen times just in its first year of operation the company of course says the new keystone x.l. will be so much better but people know from experience how devastating consequences of an oil spill can be and how hard it is to clean up this is certainly not the

first incident of course everyone remembers the disaster in the gulf of mexico in twenty ten when after an explosion and he had been leaking oil on the ocean floor for several months before the well was capped an estimated four point nine million barrels of oil had leaked into the gulf three years later the call is still not free in july two thousand and ten a pipeline by church speak more than twenty thousand barrels of canadian tar sands crude oil into the michigan waterway so this happens all the time just last week the government suggested axe. mobil paid a fine of one point seven million dollars over pipeline safety violations and that was for an oil spill two years ago in the yellowstone river in montana exxon has a month to contest the violations many believe that world giants get away with violations like that all too often in the west and all it takes is a team of really good lawyers to do that which the companies certainly have and at

the end of the day it's the people of turkey will pick up the slack in washington i'm going to check. the accident that has reignited the debate over the use of decades old pipelines to transport increasingly large amounts of crude or across north america now let's take a look at the continent's oil transit infrastructure on the story more than half of america's oil routes were build in the one nine hundred fifty s. and sixty's this is according to the u.s. department of transportation some including the pegasus pipeline which caused trouble in the action for and it was constructed even before the nine hundred fifty s. and sixty's now billions of dollars worth of oil flows are through these pipelines every year in the two thousand and eleven five all of the industries giants axon a mobile royal shell b.p. conoco phillips and chevron had a combined revenue of nearly two trillion dollars congress says of their turnover

is equal to more than ten percent of u.s. g.d.p. but this point to the huge profits the government and corporations are cutting corners when it comes to repairing and renewing infrastructure and environmental consultant richard steiner says the pipeline has long passed is used by date. there's no excuse whatsoever for oil pipelines to be anything over thirty years old their general design life is maybe twenty to thirty years there's been several spills about six or seven of this heavy diluted bit timid it's called dil bit which is the tar sand the oil which is so thick it can't be transported through a pipeline unless it's cut with condensate and benzene action has shown time and time again that they are not willing to accept responsibility legitimate financial responsibility for their actions however negligent they are they got out of the alaska spill with you know about

a billion dollars paid to private thirty thousand private litigants that should have been by many of their estimations much much more than that so they have a history of short changing responses the u.n. says north korea is on a collision course with the world community with its recurring threats against washington and seoul declared a state of war with the south and well to restart its main nuclear reactor in response to you when sanctions meanwhile slowing tensions and let the u.s. to position the minute she had with all for the militants coast including a warship and a sea bass raid a platform south korea says it will retaliate if it's attacked let's go to seoul now and go with the correspondent as of kamal formal on this at. all is just a fifty kilometer from the north korean border where there's a major military build up how are people reacting where you are to what's going on

. in terms of how the south korean public is reacting to the current situation the missile defense in north korea said it is ready and that they appointed their missiles toward south korea. while people in young coney island which was attacked two years ago actually excuse me three years ago. the level of alarm there is actually gone up but in terms of people in the capital in seoul there's not much reaction and much alarm as these threats and the rhetoric from north korea has been continuous throughout the years we've seen an annual drills with south korea and the u.s. that north korea has continuously condemned and denounced them but u.s. and south korea continually do these drills and this is where the rhetoric has gotten harsher this year however we have seen that certain military military vehicles such as the war ship as you mentioned or the b.

two stealth bomber has gotten a lot of reaction from north korea let's talk about that a little bit the situation escalated actually off to the u.s. a stealth fighter through the korean peninsula in recent military drills with the south i'm going to washington just making the situation little bit worse by provoking north korea. well the u.s. thinks that's not it says that the rhetoric is actually heightening the tension on the korean peninsula but as you mentioned north korea did say that in or korea in or korean relations are now in a state of war and this happened actually a day after the b. two stealth bombers did its mock bombings the mock bomb instead of a simulate simulation nuclear attack on north korea just in case it was attacked so we can see that a lot of these rhetoric these harsh rhetoric that are coming out of north korea in pyongyang are in response to these these military exercises as we

mentioned the warship has come on the korean coast and now north korea has said that it will restart its grant nuclear reactor so we see that a lot of what the threats that are coming out of kenya are in reaction to the actions of the u.s. and south korea so you can see that those of us i just want to quickly just ask you this because i'm running out of time pyongyang has made similar threats many times in the past and analysts tend to question the seriousness of these warnings why the thoughts and media hype over them this time around there is a lot of media hype in terms of western media with what north korea is currently doing right now and we have to actually see this as something that the u.s. perhaps is maybe thinking about in terms of their rebalance and to east asia they are in italy trying to get back into east asia to be able to counter china and its growing powers in terms of the economy and why not use north korea north korea is

a threat in what it says is a threat and so they are using this opportunity to be able to rebalance his military as well as his presence here to be able to continuously monitor and gain more influence in the region so always a correspondent joseph cam thank you thank you. why do with a new set of spending cuts are forcing ordinary brits to stretch their pounds as far as they can we take a look at the u.k.'s penny pinching leaderships and rich list in a few minutes we'll ask if the politicians are in any way in touch with the people they say. technology innovation and the developments around. the future are

covered. internationally and in the very heart of moscow.

welcome back you're watching our t.v. we can make founder julian assange may be holed up in the an embassy in london but let's also bring him for running for election in his home country australia has appointed a high profile political campaigner to spearhead his bid for seat in the australian senate as on just when the law is nine months confined to the ecuadorian embassy in britain where he's avoiding extradition to sweden for questioning over six crime allegations if he is absent election bid is successful he would be sworn in as a senator in july twenty fourth team but would have to return to camera to do that to his campaign is being led by greg ganske obama barrister and head of the a straight and republican movement he says as long as we can these polity aims to bring transparency to the government and insist that it has a realistic chance of victory. the shoot me stands for

a new strength which is effective. a house of review in the australian parliamentary system using that more effectively to keep government honest about what it's doing and so not simply rubber stamping government policies using the senate as a house review to ensure that all of audible documentation in relation to policies tie between the parliament that we see. points of my appointment set of government appointments of mike that they scrutinize properly but also ensuring that we start to roll back some of the security measures that have been boarding minister idea in a post nine eleven environment where you've seen major invasions by the security services the newest industry into the lives of ordinary australians there are six senators who were elected out of the curia one of the strikes destroyed he's got to get fourteen point two nine percent of the vote in order to get elected now with a preferential system which is of the party's preference in julian assange. if he gets six to seven percent of the rules but he says going to get elected at the

moment he's calling around about twenty five to twenty seven percent that is twenty five to twenty seven percent of australians aside they would vote for julian assange i'm sorry starting from a very high price which is going to come down a bit in the context of the campaign but it's a very good place to stop. some of britain's a multi-million m.p.'s have done themselves no favors this week at telling the unemployed and the low paid that seventy one pounds a week is generous and that it's easy to live on fifty three pounds a week others who aren't telling people how to live their lives have never even tried working a fly politics leaving britain little doubt that the government's out of touch with airfreight the now report. young polish and in politics meet britain's need political elite an assortment of multimillionaires he studied at exclusive universities a recent study by the house of commons library reveal that one in seven m.p.'s have never held

a job outside of politics and that's left many wondering whether they're really up to the job and posh i'm not defensive about it i'm there to do a drop i do the job the best my beauty but somebody the government's best is not good enough. no idea what it's like making all these attacks and they you know they've never been a person like unemployed people living on fifty six lb weeks they've no idea what that's like well lay the might of been accused of scoring political points by waiting class warfare they don't escape criticism either ed miliband and his wealthy counterparts the champagne socialists but this is not just the tories and lib dems and some of this labor as well like they're also rich so let's take a look at he's on the political rich list according to recent estimate the man with his hands on the nation's purse strings chancellor george osborne is east in his

pockets weighing him down with an estimated four point five million pounds to his name to impart to shares in a prosperous family business david cameron's not far off with assets estimated at three point eight million pounds but even the prime minister and chancellor fall short of the one time leader of the house of lords thomas galbraith a k lord strathclyde he's worth almost ten million pounds london's famous forward taylor's where the price range for most people but not of this government many of whom is suited be said and not afraid to flaunt their wealth the prime minister david cameron is known to be partial to the rich. did jane see the point which is likely to set you back more than the average monthly household income and with your daughter having to live with another austerity tailored budget can this politically really understand what those cuts mean for ordinary. you close according to your cloth as the old saying goes perhaps members of government should

take note from their tail is unemployment in britain. is down and ordinary british people feel presented we've frozen. we've increased the pension hugely. so how does the world. losing the aaa rating is a big deal you can always come up with things that. have gone wrong with the bad economic situation that we inherited it was almost inevitable that we're going to lose our aaa rating resurgence of the tough that the top to some is an indicator of a much greater malays there is a problem with the political class in general and that's it is out of touch with the general population they don't really understand a lot of families are suffering now with writing basic costs and of course it's very much a top down elitist policy that's driving these costs with the growing public skepticism the government's been left looking for different ways to try to connect whether it's george osborne joining twitter or david cameron starring in

a pop music video just what will the government do next to try to convince that they can get down with the best of what should take a while i guess at some form but i can't actually tell you one hundred percent but that's would be my guess but i'm happy to try that with you. r.t. london. enough is enough for the cypriot finance minister. they handed in his noticed after securing the ten billion euro bailout that will see savers in two major banks pay the bill the finger pointing is far from over though as the island tries to establish who is to blame for the countries that you can. meltdown ripple is killing them millions of a euros have been pulled out of the country in recent weeks suggesting some went to about the approaching crisis and one hundred thirty people and frames on the street in the four suspicious financial transactions among them of. mine the president's son in law the author of the report and then it's in fine print these and that and

those mentioned being carried out how to salvage clients rizal you making things where. poor people are actually forced to take the burden of school vs greed when all full here and unfortunately the stop in troy is not the onset of myopia knee on because actually making things worse instead of looking for the problem delayed which is the rise in a sense a bundle of europe by having still policies and that's what caused this problem send the poor people are now scared generalizing europeans want to destroy five of us a commercial economy center. at the very top of the russian money out of here out of it and making going around spreading rumors that. you take money laundering

country and yet if you can their own countries. billions and billions of euros are being laundered each day and give it to quiet the process of european banks not being prosecuted and. the clients kokura from their money laundry because you know and just so that you're not big on psychosis. the bodies of thirteen civilians mostly women and children have been discovered in syria's western province of homs syrian state media blames the violence on rebel forces are saying the victims had been robbed but that has not been independently verified this comes after alleged chemical attacks in the leopard two weeks ago closely followed by a bombing in damascus they killed forty two people including a prominent cleric amal cafe's there from the london based campaign group of the syrian social you might find some of the images will show you in the next few minutes of setting mr walker for three vicious attacks within two weeks and

most of the victims civilians what does this tell us about what the conflict is descending into. well hello well basically the conflict is really intensifying week after week as we can notice that there is no doubt at the moment that this has turned very much into a good work to bring down the syrian state space has started probably. you know from the arabs or muslims point of view to support their pressed brothers and sisters in syria but it turned out that they weren't at all oppressed the theory was that once they see some international community support some support from their brothers and sisters that they would actually abandon the regime but it turned out that they did and now the only way for those who committed also so you know money and weaponry and so on is to actually bring an influx of huge unclothed of weaponry

over fighters and so on and so forth and all the necessary logistics including for example female into trainers for male jihadists i mean i've seen it's amazing couple a couple we've been pleading with the underage daughter not to go for entertaining male jihad in syria so this has gone very bizarre and it has gone very intense and those who have committed all sorts of billions and billions of dollars have no way back but to try and throw out the syrian government in any way or if they can this seems to be more targeted towards just civilians why would either side. again by targeting civilians. well i mean there's i mean i'm going to talk about the side of the armed groups mainly here if i may be the theory was that again the once they go into a certain place they should be viewed as liberators from the oppression of the regime or the government what turned out is that they wouldn't viewed as liberators

but as an oppressing force themselves so there is a huge intimidation practice that it's that is taking place i mean we've seen yesterday in the area in a little regret they've cut the head of the local cleric and you know hanging over them in a raid you know sort of you stir up some people who do survive news but there is a huge intimidation that is taking place and those who do not take the view of the these armed groups especially the extremist islamic views are immediately punished so that everyone else obeys in a sense i would not be surprised at all to see the most horrendous of three city taking place in order to try and move through the eyes only but really ariel it is recently occupied by these armed groups is there room for any dialogue now between the syrian government and the rebel forces. well i can see there is

a huge ideology that is taking place here that the the basis or the the cornerstone for the philosophy of the rebels at the moment is extreme islamic is an extreme exam ikhwan and there is no formal research. you know ideologies of the. sort of the politicians who claim to support the anti government side really do not have a lot leverage on the ground so talking with them is probably no more than a p.r. campaign to to to be able to gain some popularity for this political leader or that one it remains to be seen how they can and who can control these groups there are numerous they are not coherent and we've seen for example a few a couple of weeks ago that the leader and the person who created the free syrian army if you know suffered this is an assassin they are not mr well qualified just run out of time but i wish we had more with you thank you very much mr quote from

the london based campaign group the syrian social club thank you very much now on the way the sights and sounds of source take it all with our team. you know when the history of any culture there are some dark chapters throughout human history there's been war on every continent and religious strife and oppression every culture has some skeletons in their closet and in recent u.s. history the scandalous prison at guantanamo bay as making patriotic american scurrying around a decade or so rather than slamming the door shut and get mall i hate that term condemning it as one of the greatest mistakes in american history and gloriously declaring on t.v. channels and newspapers the country wide that it shall never be repeated again the pentagon instead wants to blow another forty nine million dollars expanding it even if you are one of the types of things that american gulags are supercool and

awesome do you realize it takes over one million dollars per year per prisoner to keep the place open are you sure you don't want that money to go towards something else like your children's education the thing that burns me up about this the most is that obama promised if elected to close guantanamo bay and as commander in chief of the armed forces he could do this whatever he wanted no amount of filibustering by the republicans could stop him obama you promised hundreds of millions of people to do something very simple start the paper work tomorrow buddy make the nation look better that's your job but that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you. are is a big check. i'm

in sochi the u.s. city in europe on the host of the twenty fourteen winter the pick a. song. thank you. song. thank you. dog days are. my days it. calms. the sun it's so true.
