9:02 am

9:03 am
king david found as the city of jerusalem muhammad never came to jerusalem now it wasn't really the fast time dives and monuments attacked israeli cyberspace now the previous time it happened during last years gaza war now during the four days of classes hundreds of israeli websites that were suffered from forty million unique attacks. and there are around seven hundred israeli watch size repeated attacks including some high profile government websites like the websites of the foreign ministry. and the israeli defense ministry so as you can see that previous attack had some major impact so wait and see how this one develops while the come in the wake of a renewed wave of discontent crushing down on israel
9:04 am
a deadly clashes broke out between activists and soldiers sponsored by the death of a high ranking palestinian prisoners in israeli detention that's all of it accusations he did nothing to save his life. a bit later in the program. this week saw a dramatic escalation on the korean peninsula with pyongyang threatening a preemptive nuclear strike on the united states a response was not left wanting the u.s. and south korean war ships and aircraft swarming to the north coast washington has canceled a planned continental nuclear missile test to avoid further inflaming the situation . takes up the story. to north korea's bellicose threats washington responds with an even more intense buildup of military power in the region that north korea responds with even more threats even though defense secretary chuck hagel called north korea real and clear danger the white house says. movements from north korean
9:05 am
military forces suggesting that it may be just rhetoric but while north korea talks washington apart from f. twenty two fighter jets and other bombers that it sent to the region for the ongoing military exercises with south korea the pentagon is now deploying an advanced missile defense system to. north korea the north korean army has announced that it has the final approval for a nuclear attack on the as they tell us north korean rocket. the u.s. mainland but they can potentially attack u.s. bases in the region there are twenty thousand u.s. troops just across the border in south korea so could we see the worst nuclear standoff since the cuban missile crisis between the soviet union and the u.s. even though the rhetoric is probably as hostile as it's ever been no one really believes that north korea is actually going to carry out an attack north korea itself knows that if it didn't attack or for that attack the united states it would be committing national suicide the united states would retaliate in
9:06 am
a tremendous fashion north korea does not want to commit suicide i believe north korea is doing all this so it can get to a point to actually negotiate some kind of peace agreement with the united states in the u.s. media to you have all pundits basically saying the same thing that north korea is not going to strike because they know it's a suicide that they want to reach some kind of a deal with washington but they're not going to get it you have former officials experts all saying that but with all this war talk from north korea and with u.s. military buildup in the region some say all it may take is for one of the sides to snap or some kind of a mistake before everything spirals out of control in washington i'm going to. a specialist on security and nuclear weapons dr jim walsh offered us his take and there were six in payoffs of america's engagement in korea. right now since this crisis began the philippines has already okayed the use of more bases for the
9:07 am
united states and our country and there was a deal to decommission some of the okinawa sites in japan and that might be off the table as a result of the hype of this particular conflict so you know you see the military industrial complex needs a reason to exist and i believe the north korean threat to be a theatrical or real. reason here is the pretext for the expansion of the military economy from the u.s. side and. this is r t a toxic swamp of oil has used on the streets in a small town in arkansas this week forcing dozens of residents to flee offer an aging pipe bust and the cowardly staying in hotels and may not be able to return to their homes for quite some time and locals have started to feel like victims as they say the company responsible for maintaining the pipe did little to address the concerns i one hundred forty residents in the town have followed lawsuits against exxon mobil worried about the value of their homes local resident chris tyrell says
9:08 am
the spill came as a complete surprise i got off work early and was headed back to my home and a police officer at the entrance to the neighborhood not allowing anybody and i asked why he said the issue was there was no will still in the area and i told him our family and my wife and children at the home so he allowed me in and we're going to little town to get them on the road in and the kind of survey the damage and there was all just flowing down the street behind our house we're taking a wait and see approach what happens next how are we going to be compensated and along with for some of our neighbors can get back in their homes 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. president vladimir putin is heading to hanover in germany today where he'll try to calm the international hype stirred by office searches of non governmental organizations in russia and the role of the country's funds and debt hits cyprus
9:09 am
will also be up for debate of more of these matters and the prospects of mutual ties between moscow and berlin i'm joined live now by hans henning schroeder the head of the russia c.i.s. division at the german institute for international and security affairs good to see you today thank you for coming on r.t. there's a lot of speculation in german media that the relationship between moscow and lynn is far from perfect but how do you read into that. your eye. is not the best. have a stick nation on the high lever of course we have good economic relations we have a of course a common history you have a common understanding but in the moment the situation is not developing now russia has also been accused of a rather harsh approach towards foreign non governmental organizations are you do you think moscow should be concerned about the activities of hundreds of such groups on its territory yes we see that and that's one of the things which
9:10 am
we. disturbs for the people in germany and the politicians especially. and of course we perceived the. years of the german foundations. of the continuity of them as a sort of provocation and it's not quite clear why is a russians did you see it as a provocation can you can you tell us a bit more about that why such a provocation. for instance the corner of our north difficult business is the foundation which is quite new under america and cannot are no shifting as a foundation nor they have worked together cooperated. was. knighted russia party and so it's not quite clear what relation to n.g.o.s and so we didn't quite understand what was the signal. wanted to send us
9:11 am
a letter let's talk about of the investment climate if we can as we said the russian president heading to hanover in germany today russia's been working hard on improving the investment climate in the country you see any shifts there and what should the country do to become more attractive for german investors. it's although it's quite attractive especially for big prizes. for them it's really attractive but they are of course they are they are so heavy that they don't have to feel that some of. competitor does doesn't. work it's it's really a program for for the middle class for small and middle enterprises and so. we are looking for improving for instance for for the quote improving
9:12 am
the dependency of the colts we see you're looking for. a change of situation concerning corruption. and that would be a great step forward but up to no we don't see that. there are so you're seeing a lack of transparency and a lack of progress towards eliminating corruption when it comes to judgments who do want to invest in the russian market but so i'm i'm running very low on time here but i must ask you now that germany is widely believed to be spearheading the sixty percent haircut of deposits in the bank of cyprus e.g. do you think russian investors have grounds for disappointment here. yes of course russia was was very strong russians are very strong invested in cyprus and cyprus was as you know the country which from which to the most investors came back to russia and so it's of course a problem that what what what's the european union to it and of course i think
9:13 am
the german government has to take a share of this policy but on the other hand my impression is at least to the russian government it's not so unhappy about that because the moment putin is going for. the politics of the the offshore he's artsy of. to get bags of money and so in a sense the german government helped him i will have to see if this weekend bears any fruit or hand senate schroeder from the german institute for international and security affairs a pleasure to have you on our team today thanks for sharing your sunday with us thank you. well more in the holy land and panic caused by bird flu hyphen asia that and more after the break. i mean so to know your city in europe the hosts of the twenty four t.v.

winter the figure. son see. such. things the. dog days of. days or. weeks come. to. see it so true.
9:15 am
the book about international and world in the very heart of moscow. from moscow this is artsy with me rory sushi street battles prison strikes and fresh exchanges of fire on the gaza border palestinians have been venting their fury at israel off the one of their high profile nationals died and is ready to jail while serving a life sentence some of the follow up clashes in the west bank did tunde deadly two teenagers were shot by the i.d.f. they were going to go. one man's death turned into a rage of the masses at the beginning of the week sixty four year old my sorrow bookham d. a died in the israeli prison according to his family the palestinian prisoner has complained about his health since the summer of last year but it was only in march
9:16 am
that doctors told him that he had a terminal illness and only days left to live news about the hunt is that spread like wildfire cross the palestinian territories clashes haven't asked numerous towns and villages across the region resulting in the deaths of two palestinian two majors but the most intense clashes between israeli security forces and palestinian protesters took place right here in hebron the hometown of abu hamed to hear rage smoke tear gas and rubber bullets filled the streets as people express their feelings about the treatment of from dia as well as thousands of other palestinians in confinement there is a state of widespread anger and diggnation of. what many people here. a primitive murder by release by the third young think that the death of my father a humvee was a direct result of israeli criminal negligence or of moral carelessness more than
9:17 am
four thousand palestinian inmates went on hunger strike to show what they thought about him d. his death gaza broke the fragile four month long cease fire rockets into southern israel and eliciting an airstrike from tel aviv come to his death provided an outlet for frustration that has been building up for years since the palestinian uprising in the beginning of the century known as the second intifada a growing number of israeli settlements palestinian prisoners and as a result a peace process in jeopardy every crazy or a palestinian being israeli prison that is an issue that. can really explode there can be very very sophisticated how to go. to deal with it and with one occasion of. palestinian prisoners. and
9:18 am
demonstrations and shooting the demonstrators the whole thing can explode this was the second palestinian death in an israeli jail this year the three year old earth arjun i doubt died of a heart attack in february causes such as these only adds to the anger palestinians feel towards israel people on the street want some movement and we do not see any movement toward liberation what we see is continued occupation intensification of certain elements intensification of abduction and killing of people every aleksey which some believe could be and should be. that is royal we. release a good number of palestinians to troll goodwill. readiness for real negotiations with the palestinians
9:19 am
a simple solution that maybe to some but it depends on whether israel has the good will to get in the ways they are in tel aviv even though i can. well palestinian prisoners in israeli custody claim they have been left to waste away behind bars and denied any basic medical treatment so hard it francis director of the prison and supporting human rights association says the situation is complicated by the fact that no one in israel is actually bother over the plight of palestinian detainees. unfortunately in the latest years there is no much reaction from there is that oily mess public in these issues of course those human rights n.g.o.s loyally indios that they would be condemning and of course following these cases and small groups of activists that they would be supporters of the palestinian cause but in general i think almost all for the community would
9:20 am
believe that this person was a terrorist and he obviously deserve to be dying. i did so are prisoners at america's war on terror camp whose call for justice is also being ignored as the hunger strike at guantanamo bay enters its third month later in the program why the authorities are still talking down the scale of the protest. a new type of bird flu has been discovered in china this week promoting the government to cull tens of thousands of birds so far the virus has killed six six people that is out of the eighteen infected it's not the first time though that a new strain of flu has hit china let's have a look at how the infection has spread not only across the population but in the media as well and many of the articles written read like horror stories sparking panic way out of proportion with the facts you remember past bird flu and swine flu outbreaks in the attention they grabbed across the media katie pilbeam has more on
9:21 am
the hype. the panic is already spreading across the globe over fears of a bird flu epidemic in china twenty thousand birds were slaughtered at one local market japan has a health warning some people coming into the country from china hong kong slumped in chinese airline stocks in an attempt to restrict travel vietnam bans poultry imports from china and taiwan it raises quarantine level alerts while u.s. and china are already looking into creating a vaccine for this specific type of bird flu drug producers are already poised to jump in produce a cure at a price of course now let's look at the example of the swine flu epidemic which cost the british taxpayer one point two billion dollars off of the government panicked and splashed out billions on vaccinations pharmaceutical giant class a smith kline secured a billion dollar contract from it making
9:22 am
a billion dollars from vaccines alone last year i reality four hundred fifty seven people died from swine flu a third of which dive regular flu every year so while china battles with the flu drug companies are no doubt preparing for a multi billion dollar order or a journalist on the bar says america wouldn't give up an opportunity to its favorite. there's a couple of things at work here one is the context really the american media has never found a scare disease or disaster that it doesn't like in addition both the media and many say sectors of the power leader in the united states have never met a china bashing incident that they didn't like and so this has both of those wrapped up together the opportunity to disparage say farm products from china for example to have people wonder in the back of their mind if you know chickens or
9:23 am
pork from china are infected with some that would zadok flu so there's a bunch of you know things going on behind the scene that's that has been making the media frighten people. one line story is sometimes why you just can't have enough with statistics are shedding light on the rising number of america's richest people cashing in millions in unemployment benefits to learn how it's possible dot com. plus a miracle baby in india a ten month old girl survives after thirty six hours trapped under the rubble of a collapsed eight story building in mumbai r.t. dot com has the full story. no breakdown but no breakthrough either the latest round of international negotiations over iran's nuclear ambitions have wrapped up in kazakhstan and even been described as positive of the u.s. china russia the u.k.
9:24 am
france and germany proposed easing economic sanctions in return for iranian nuclear enrichment concessions iran says it's responded with its own set of counterproposals but may consider suspending enrichment in order to build trust speaking exclusively to r.t. tehran's chief negotiator saeed jalili also denounced sanctions as being counterproductive. child's. threats against my people and nothing new there ius u.s. administrations have level threats and taken hostile action against my people including the imposition of sanctions this is especially true for the past two years they themselves have openly said that they are trying to impose crippling sanctions however they have seen for themselves that arabian people have managed to transform those threats into opportunity and at the moment iran is the seventeenth largest economy in the world regardless of sanctions or rainy and scientists have managed to build a rocket ship and send live creatures into space these are indications that the
9:25 am
path of sanctions has been very much of what in actual fact they've done is deny an opportunity for their citizens and businesses and corporations to do big. this was a very lucrative radian market and i think we also have to note that these sanctions have no legal base to standoff because many countries including russia and china time and again have expressed their opposition to the sanish adds a lot of that wealth or it is at the guantanamo bay prison camp acknowledged this week the hunger strike among the camps inmates is growing and the official number of those refusing food now stands at forty one the inmates lawyers however say the figure is several times higher with three of the prisoners hospitalized and around a dozen currently being force fed the strike began more than two months ago in protest over treatment and conditions jonathan hafetz who's represented a number of the inmates believes it will be some time before the extreme action achieves anything i think the more pressure may force the us to respond it may not
9:26 am
come right away but i think that the pressure that's triggered from the hunger strikes and the international attention of the statement by the u.n. i think amino may have a defect over time i think that it's going to force the united states to realize that it just can't simply ignore what's act want on amoa and that at some point it's going to have to come to grips with the fact that you know these these men are being imprisoned year after year without charges and you know more and more and more are in fact eyeing him in jail and i think it's very difficult to. you know be able to to justify this and you have to really kind of tie yourself in knots to do so. pleasure to have you with us here in just about an hour we'll take a look at the natural wonderland of russia's sochi region as a pass to host the twenty fourteen winter olympics this is a scene. what
9:27 am
if one third of the population of a capital city of a small arab country took to the streets in protest while the mainstream media would scream the people of nation x. are crying out for democracy we have to intervene and take their oil i mean help them but the earth shaking a large protest is in arab countries it's in paris france and for traditional marriage yes protesters in paris claim that they had eight hundred thousand people on the streets of france's capital and even though the police said that half those numbers for a city of less than two point five million people this was a huge protest for a card list the european union loves to educate the world about democracy and show that's liberal values around and yet that doesn't really seem to listen to the
9:28 am
citizens very much who want to stop the madness of waves of illegal immigrants bailing out members on the times of other nations and for focusing the union's national attention on social issues like gay marriage instead of creating jobs to the e.u. officials out there who claim to believe in democracy maybe it's about time you actually try you know listening to a few voices who disagree with you before you keep promoting policies against possibly the will of the majority but that's just my opinion. the official. bridge stream quality. favorites. if you're away from your television just doesn't matter with your mobile
