3:00 pm
on r.t. tonight career on a collision course the u.n. says the crisis has gone too far as the north fires up an old nuclear site while america's military edges closer to the prince. riots break out in israeli jails followed by street marches in clashes over the death of a palestinian prisoner who was allegedly refused lifesaving cancer treatment you've got his story. and that investigations launched in the u.s. into that massive oil pipeline leak that flooded the streets of an arkansas town with tons of crude. good evening this is our t. is kevin o. and he will be receiving just after eleven pm now and the u.n.
3:01 pm
says north korea is on a collision course with the world community with its recurrent threats against its southern neighbor and the u.s. declared a state of war with the south and vowed to restart its main nuclear reactor now in response to u.n. sanctions meanwhile the u.s. has moved into the tree hard work closer to the north coast including a warship on a sea based radar platform south korea says it will retaliate if it is attacked seoul based journalist joseph kim believes that america's geopolitics in the region is what's firing up. the rhetoric. in terms of people in the capital in seoul there's not much reaction or 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 us that north korea has continuously condemned and denounced them but the u.s. and south korea continually do these drills so we can see that a lot of these rhetoric these harsh rhetoric that are coming out of north korea in
3:02 pm
pyongyang are in response to these these military exercises as we mentioned a warship has come on the korean coast and now north korea has said that it will restart its run at nuclear reactors 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 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 technically 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 is not
3:03 pm
terry as well as his presence here to be able to continuously monitor and gain more influence in the region. i would say spoke to a jet ski was one of the few foreign journalists has actually been able to report from within north korea. to be honest with you i haven't had a chance to talk to many ordinary people six years ago when i was there in north korea but i don't think the situation has changed i talk to the officials there and i didn't hear a single negative word towards south korea i got the feeling that this was more about north korea versus the west and the u.s. rather than being against the neighbors. and i was and i thought back then i still stand by that by this thought that this conflict between the two koreas is more about something inspired from abroad rather than being an internal issue between the people of the two green of the two koreas i mean they're very close they used to be one country they used to be one empire they are divided politically by the thirtieth barrel they're not divided by any other way so i don't think there
3:04 pm
actually is so much as hostile as everyone wants them to believe what you know impression on north korea's kim mean he he's come people have said he's coming to change the if they really are going to do he has already changing you know we saw google officials in pyongyang unthinkable just five six years ago we saw dennis rodman i mean it's just maybe just a show but still he wants to show that he wants to be more open than his dad and he's pretty says he's grand was also a power he recently said he likes american computers mad computers he likes pop culture he seems pretty in touch with what's going on right now you know what when you when i like is clearly the man in his mid thirty's he's interested in everything happening in the world in particular the technologies he said that the country needs to embrace the technology north korea already has internet north korea doesn't. confiscate cell phones from foreigners and the forecast like they used to do before this is a major change to what used for the question is whether kim jong un will be the man
3:05 pm
to reunite careers and not to go. let's talk about that a little bit that rhetoric this harsh rhetoric that's been going back and forth between the two koreas how likely is going to come out of that if you ask me i don't believe anything will have. and anything bad will happen any war there might be some tension there might be some border clashes and nothing more than that as long as china plays such important role in the region china is basically dictating what happens there and what doesn't happen there it's quite strange to see that the us doesn't want china to become the sole and the most important to go see into between the two koreas because china doesn't want this war it would damage its infrastructure china is already involved in many economic projects with the south korea so as long as china is there there will be no war and china's position on that has been firm and strong there will be no war. right so broken how do several israeli prisons over the death of a palestinian inmate who was serving
3:06 pm
a life sentence and had throat cancer palestinian officials say israel refused to give him vital treatment but israel insists he did ask for an early release but it was already too late. reports. 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 the 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 do know at this point that in
3:07 pm
several israeli jails palestinian prisoners already staging mass actions of protests there are throwing things around and banging 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 a hamas terrorists and he was sentenced to ninety nine years in prison and i was really fishel say that they have sent in the people for the for the early release of a book deal and due to his ailing health but unfortunately he died before that appeal could be processed by the israeli officials. to the death of his also led to street clashes with police various palestinian areas so. that supports the prisoners rights and says people in rage because really does go against international. i think the issue here is the police see that is used against the palestinian
3:08 pm
political prisoners in systematic way actually and this is the health neglect and i wasn't complaining just in the last two months or three months he was complaining about different symptoms and illness since two thousand and seven actually and the delay in doing analysis and checks and they are going no stick for his second is. his this day and this is what we are planing the israeli prison system actually the whole policy of the health treatment in the prison service is lacking properly the correct treatment it doesn't matter what he was convicted with the fact that he was trialed and imprisoned he deserved to be treated properly according to the international standards of the three men off prisoners that any prisoner should get inside any prison actually and is royal is the signature e to these international conventions and international treatments actually should
3:09 pm
offer these standards in their prison so i think the solidarity is with the fact that the sick prisoner was into getting proper treatment including. the sort of all consoles launched a probe into the actual mobile oil pipeline spill in a residential area was swamped with thousands of tons of crude of reply was friday so residents still can't return to their homes in the cleanup could take weeks more details than from going to camp. 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 two 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
3:10 pm
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 that 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
3:11 pm
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 brought church 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 suggest that acts. mobile paid a fine of one point seven million dollars over pipeline safety violations and that was for an oil spill two years the coal in the yellowstone river in montana exxon has a month to contest the violations many believe that while the giants get away with violations like that all too often in the west end all it takes is a team of really good lawyers to do that which the company certainly have and that at the end of the day it's the people affected will pick up the slack in washington
3:12 pm
i'm going to check them. as is often the case is one of the residents whose homes are affected by the pegasus pipeline spill as chris harrell is talked to hi there chris thanks for taking the time to be with us in our t. tonight how was your town of mayflower affected you see the pictures it's hard to get the scale of it just the pictures how does it affected you and the people you know sure well it's an absolute mess huge inconvenience and there's a lot of concerns about what happens next yes and that's a question what is going to happen next. when the cleanup the cleanup process is ongoing right now and there's a lot of personnel and equipment in the area. but so they're saying it could take weeks or months to get it close to some sense of normalcy i just allowing people back fully in the neighborhood that leaks we definitely stop now yeah. that's correct they shut some valve on up the pipe they all had to go in and excavate this section and then see about replacing it i suppose how close was it to houses where
3:13 pm
people live. well it actually went through some yards and some of the houses and down more of the main streets in our subdivision it's a big effect on quite a few houses well look at you now over over your shoulder there are some pictures of it it's obviously got into the water courses and there are some of the guy clear but you know how much oil are we talking about here i mean i. tried to take you for a share of the term i've heard is close to ten thousand barrels of oil in the canadian crude that escaped they're saying they've cleaned up about twelve thousand barrels of both all in water out of the like you said the ditches and local waterways and even one of the local lakes where it almost got in there as well i guess lots of people lots of fish with nextel no bill then coming to apologize and one of the speaks to a larger. there are some in the area there's a claims apartment that's been set up but we've not heard a lot from just yet so it's we're kind of taking a wait and see approach what happens next how are we going to be compensated and
3:14 pm
along with for us some of our neighbors can get back in their homes would you have hoped for more hands on of approach maybe from them so far could you have done mislead a few more people from the company. well so far as the cleanup process they've done a good job there but they've not done a really good job of communicating to some of the residents that would be much this all part large city sixty five years old is one of the oldest in the country isn't it i don't know where their worries in your community about this before considering the amount of all that was going through it daily and it's a huge well truth of the matter is a lot of the residents in our neighborhood weren't aware that the plan was even there. yes believe it or not and that would be a shame on us kind of thing but friday afternoon when the wall was running down the street that was the first time many folks even knew there was anywhere in the area so let me just kind of paged through this pipeline the first it was it's a buried underneath it's not running over ground yet this particular bit that's correct they're saying it's barrier between twenty and twenty four inches under the dirt of course the problem is here you know there's a huge need for oil
3:15 pm
a huge huge need for energy in the states how else are you going to get it around it's the most efficient way to move all around do you think though that companies like exxon that make so much money here are doing enough to keep these pipes in good good enough maintenance given their age. well obviously something wasn't done in this case. the spill to happen but like you said it's a necessary evil my father always said and everyone likes bacon but no one wants a home going in their backyard. feel about the pipeline yeah exactly i mean how what about the people who were turfed out of their houses i think it was twenty two you know it was affected back in now with a no sir and there are still staying in local hotels in the area and. they've been allowed back in their homes through you know twenty minutes at a time and together belongings take care of pets and they don't know when they'll be back again and did the oil actually go into the houses again the pictures we're seeing it's kind of in the culverts around would did anyhow to directly get
3:16 pm
affected in fact it's such a blast and it absolutely well it kind of floated against the back of some houses basically there is some concern that it may have gone down through the foundation into some of the we. are saying that they're going to have to dig out three four feet underneath any saturation and where that all flowed against the back of some houses i'm sure that will affect the foundation and may have to have some houses condemned it looks like you know chris thanks to give our best to everybody thanks thanks for your time we do appreciate it chris how are all there one of the residents of the town affected by that pegasus pipeline spill on the way made in america on our t.v. we report on how a u.s. plans to make a nation bypass gun control regulations by crafting weapons in the comfort of their own home. also to the simplified as minister said is it resignation while the country is busy finding the people responsible for the economic meltdown just a couple of stories with me just ahead.
3:17 pm
well. it's technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
3:18 pm
international airport in the very heart of moscow. again enough is enough for the cypriot finance minister mccully satirises handed in his notice after securing that 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's to blame for the country's economic meltdown reports claim millions of euros have been pulled out of the country in recent weeks jesting some were tipped off about the approaching crisis over under thirty people and firms and they want the scrutiny for suspicious financial transactions among them a firm cohen by the president's son in law financial journalist clinton chambers
3:19 pm
told me he believes other eurozone countries were followed this sad example of cyprus to. anybody that comes under this sort of pressure going forward the first thing that's going to happen is the retailers say he was going to run and they're going to the bank runs now much more likely than they've ever been before because a precedent has been set and you know the guys that set out say that they use a template and then of course they did not. it's not template that it's kind of kind of like a template you know the president has been set up and then unless you've been hiding under a rock through in a country like savina for example or any of the other one of those countries that might get into a crisis you know might repeat a crisis it could be argued against the portuguese would be could be easily could be spain if a new crisis kicks off in any of those countries they're going to see what happened in cyprus they're going to pull their money if you put a percentage on it how likely is it you think this is going to happen again soon somewhere in the you one hundred percent definitely hundred percent because
3:20 pm
the system is not addressing the underlying problem of all this which is deficits state deficits trade deficits the europe and america are bleeding to death and they're not doing anything about it they're not cutting back that they're not cutting back their deficits they're not cutting back their trade deficits so they must go bust so unless they turn that around there's no sign they're going to then the dominoes must fall. well he league said if the julian assange may be holed up at an embassy in london but that's not stopping him running for election in his own country australia now assad has appointed a high profile political campaigning to spearhead his bid for a seat in the australian senate assad has spent the last nine months confined to the ecuadorian embassy in britain way he's avoiding extradition to sweden for questioning of the sex crime and occasions if his absentee election bid is successful he'd be sworn in as senator in july twenty fourth team but that after returning to canberra to do that campaign is being led by greg barnes a from
3:21 pm
a barrister and head of the astray and republican movement he told us a sanchez wiki leaks party aims to bring transparency to the government and insists that it has a realistic chance of victory to. age certainly stands for any a strong incentive which is effectively the house of review in the australian problem entry system and using that more effectively to keep government honest about what it's doing and so not simply rubber stamping government policy using the senate as a house review to ensure that all of our little documentation in relation to policies tie between the parliament not that we should be. points of my appointments or government appointments of my that they scrutinize properly but also ensuring that we start to roll back some of the security measures that have been boarding in astronomy in the post nine eleven environment where you've seen major inversions by the security services into its industry into the lives of ordinary australians there are six senators who will be elected out of the curia
3:22 pm
one of the strikes destroyed he's going to get full and point two nine percent of the vote in order to get elected now we're the preferential system which is the party's preference in julian assange. if he gets six to seven percent of the rules but he's going to get elected at the moment he's polling 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 story starting from a very high price which is going to come down a bit in comp. campaign but it's a very good place to start on a lot of arty deal coleman britain's bedrooms are the latest budget battleground as we explain online widespread protests over welfare coming into force for having spare rooms we tell you where else here is fall into and also we're counting down the days of the ongoing hunger strike at guantanamo to where detainees are said to be willing to die rather than live in the what's been described as cruel injustice . to the u.s.
3:23 pm
now with a gun control debate focused on what type of arms americans are allowed to obtain and bear thanks now to a groundbreaking technology entire gun parts could be manufactured without a license one u.s. students working to make sure everyone can make a weapon at home as reported i found. from the state of the union in youngstown a while we're no workers are mastering the three d. printing but has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything to a store in soho new york three d. printing technology has officially gone mainstream the demand is much greater than our supply right now and we're actually ramping up and expanding rapidly to meet that demand this three d. printing company maker bot opened its first retail store last year it is selling its newly released replicator to desktop for just under twenty two hundred dollars using a plastic material the machine deposits ultra thin layers to form any object that can be molded in software welcome to the world of independent manufacturing so this
3:24 pm
stretch bracelet took about sixteen minutes to make but other objects that are bit bigger like this cupcake gift box took about fifteen hours of printing now while the time a very anyone with a three d. desktop printer can essentially make anything that they want at our web site thing first is a repository for three d. printed items we have more than forty thousand items on the thing over that are free and downloadable and one of our terms of service is that you cannot upload anything that is to the weapon. this is where twenty five year old cody wilson enters the picture a group of friends and i started a project called difference distributed. we want to use a three d. printer to print a gun to release the photos open source the texas law student has already printed a thirty round magazine and lower receiver that houses the bolt for an ar fifteen

and he's reportedly working on completing a rifle with a three d. printer his blueprints for gonzo and gun parts are distributed for free on his website but i'm curious showing people ok this is something that can be done right now. right now the self described. market catechist has thrown a major wrench into america's gun control debate as a national conversation going it was a debate that started in december after twenty children and six adults were shot dead at a connecticut elementary school overwhelming majorities of americans americans who believe in the second amendment have come together around common sense reform by background checks that will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on a gun meanwhile just last month wilson became a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer there bypassing the debate the rendering the debate irrelevance whatever laws make about of this discussion this
3:26 pm
sort of ability to manufacture objects and bodies firearms on a localized centralized basis means of the law really won't matter the law may say that something is illegal but if you can turn to a device that's on your desktop and manufacture that at will with nobody knowing that you've done so then the law doesn't matter at all with a reported three hundred million guns in circulation the u.s. has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world and the second highest rate of deaths by firearms among industrialized nations. and just as lawmakers are finalizing new legislation that would tighten the nation's all too easy access to firearms. experts claim that technology will ultimately outpace their meager efforts at gun control burning up or nial r.t. new york. all the way that isis dog breeds the world's financial pose revealed in the latest edition of the kaiser report when we come back.
