saw the neural brace it's. a process that people don't write about the three international financial institutions accused of demanding comes but few visible solutions that. we can watch again increases the number of detainees at mit's on hunger strike a gun tama as that figure edges closer to that claimed by lewis's the big. trace the russian president is holding right now he's. with the nation they call to be on social issues are the talk of a long list of questions people want. international

news live from moscow this is all she was made. and welcome to the program and we can talk about our one on the top stories presentations q. and a with the nation and here. we're bringing you some live pictures we're getting right now and this has led to a person's eleven years if you're on a tour since two thousand and one and his first since he was reelected to the top job last year he missed only two sessions in two thousand and four and twenty two hours here to his longest session was two years ago in twenty eleven. lost love with the city a new solution. to the really. good. it will be addressed to. five she's

she. was one of what has been regarded as so for. her management company and she's here in our studio today miter can you give the floor to go live to university with this. hello mr putin from the city with. the national privileged two percent sorry management company that would bring you some live pictures from a place here in a section about a real person and right now they're discussing the measures like pensions economy conditions or living conditions and other things and of course we're back to this q. and a session but right now let's turn to some other stories this hour. it was a massive protests in portugal later as people revolt against government cuts around one billion euros is the latest public demonstration of resentment towards the three international bodies not the troika who decide which nation is deserving of financial help protesters say that simply making heavy demands on people but

changing nothing piece of reports. twenty fifth is the day that the portuguese celebrate the one nine hundred seventy four revolution but it's revolt of a different kind that will be taking place here on the streets of lisbon and says thousands come out to demonstrate against the current government and country and also against the three main lenders they give given cash to the financially stricken nation the so-called troika the e.u. the international monetary fund and the european central bank are one of the main targets for anger here as well as their own politicians that this isn't the only nation that will be seeing demonstrations take place on thursday in spain around one thousand four hundred riot police will be out in madrid to try and make sure that demonstrations there don't boil over as we have seen in the past now it's not just the people of europe that have been voicing their displeasure against the

troika that's now being also spoken about in the corridors of power here in europe with senior any peace member of the european parliament voicing their displeasure against the way the troika the seemingly endless financial crisis on wednesday we heard. a very senior austrian n.e.p. refer to the way that the situation in cyprus was handled as neo colonialism and then another senior any piece said that there must be an inquiry into just who came up with the idea of placing a levy on small private deposit is and cypriot banks it now seems that that will go by the wayside but the fact that it was just raised brought about so much tension and lost welp so much respect for the e.u. markets that the politicians say it can't happen again and they want to make sure that it won't happen again and also find out just who suggested that it was a good idea in the first place so another day another round of demonstrations in

europe as people come out to just say that they on tapi with the way things are going that they want change and they want that change to come quickly. alexei you get a chef spoke to a not a euro skeptic the head of the u.k. independence party nigel faraj and he believes the days of the eurozone are numbered and that people should withdraw their money from leeds banks before what happened in cyprus happens elsewhere. big investors should be worried all over the euro zone particular southern europe i mean i i have been pondering for years you know what would happen when spain finally went back how would they possibly deal with the sheer scale of the bailout that would be needed which perhaps would be five or six hundred billion euros how could this happen without huge american support or global help because what cyprus has done is give us the template or what they will do in future is they won't be all countries out there belgium in and they'll do it by stealing investors' money by taxing people on their properties and

by forcing central banks into selling their holdings of gold i mean this is a truly dollars situation if this plan is giving the green light to all the people who are affected will actually accepted what in a sense they may not have much choice because if their money is in bank accounts and literally that money is stolen from them without them having to give their consent then it's difficult to see what they can do so my advice to people is if you own property if you've got money in bank accounts in the eurozone get your money out before they come after you because it's perfectly clear that is their plan heading on from here mr ferrars we've heard some harsh criticism coming from some european parliamentary members against the troika conglomerate some of them saying that this entity should be even disorder would in your opinion that fix the problem it's quite right that there should be criticism of the troika really it's quite extraordinary that that into all these countries that are in trouble with the

euro zone they've effectively given up parliamentary democracy and handed it over to a very arrogant troika but it's all well and good but members of the european parliament to criticize the troika given that they make up a third of that i would much rather see rather than their parliamentary colleagues i'd much rather see them supporting my plan which is to get the european commission next month in this building a letter. emotional debate if they behaved as part of the troika mr ferrars my final question just briefly do you think this current economic crisis in the euro zone could somehow lead to a hypothetical collapse of the whole european union there is absolutely no way that the eurozone can last forever they may keep it going for a few more years by invoking ever more extreme measures but ultimately the euro zone is going to break up the economics that break it up it may be civil disobedience or violence on a very large scale that eventually get some of those mediterranean countries out

and after that i think the big question then is well what is the european union for and i think that the alternative model that a growing number of people in the e.u. were talking about which is a europe based on cooperation a europe based on trade a europe based on nation state democracy i think that vision is one that can only grow in support as the years go by. as a reporter very shortly the tough economic times are hurting even the most vulnerable. yet i feel like i will be a laying on a gay teen and the blade back and i don't know how he's going to drop or not. so assassins of disabled in the u.k. could soon be forced to prove to the government they are disabled enough to get the money they need to know. the u.s. military is being forced to admit almost daily that the gun tunnel of a hunger strike is increasing in number but their fish will figure still lower than that claimed by lawyers who say the majority of the one hundred sixty six detainees

have been starving themselves for nearly three months fishel figures rose exponentially have to print trying to break up the prisoners protest gets more official say ninety two detainees are now refusing all sued with seventeen being force fed and two in hospital there have been several recent suicide attempts and the military's muslim advisor there says he's worried the protest will lead to debts detainees have grown desperate over their indefinite detention without charge with some believing they'll never leave the notorious facility as all she is going after trick reports. u.s. officials now acknowledge that ninety two detainees source starving themselves of guantanamo the military has been updating the numbers since the middle of march saying at the beginning that there were fourteen people on strike the detainees the first lawyers have been saying all along there were many more around one hundred thirty they would say earlier this month the president tried to put an end to the strike by putting the inmates in solitary confinement authorities said they raided

the communal living area and force the detainees into individual cells to prevent them from covering cameras didn't help the number has doubled since then according to the officials again the numbers that we've been getting from defense lawyers were different all along out of one hundred sixty six one tunnel prisoners eighty six have been cleared for release so the sole reason they're still held captive is their nationality i had the chance to ask the. assistant secretary on why it's about this collective punishment based on nationality here's what she said the president has made clear his commitment to closing guantanamo but this has to be done in accordance with u.s. law in consultation with the congress so it has to reassure you back to their statements from the white house and the spokesman that it's not just about those who have been cleared for release but many other inmates have never been formally accused the defense lawyers say it's been a dead end for them trying to get their clients out whenever asked about these

issues the administration gives the same response it were first to congress what the lawyers say even with the transfer restrictions in place the current law still allows for the administration to use waivers to release some of these men but they for some reason don't use those it's really not clear what can change the status quo at this point an advisor for the pentagon who visited guantanamo last week came back and said that he predicted the ongoing strike would lead to death so a long time muslim advisor ed. one ton a mole who goes by the name zack who goes only by his first name for security reasons he said quote there will be more than one death and then he added that the detainees called wanted to die out of hunger and thirst behind covered cameras end of quote and the question many now ask is what if someone really dies in this hunger strike will it change something in washington. bringing you

coverage of the developing crisis of gun tunnel but you can always had to our website is a sheet of comb for a full timeline of the events that and in the mean time coming out here on on just a couple of minutes look at the brothers believed to be behind the boston bombings and the way that portrayed in the global means you just stay with us.

the good. international and world in the very heart of moscow. this is aussie welcome back. terror and violence in iraq has some locals fearing they're on the same road as well so neighbors syria one hundred iraqis have been killed in clashes antara talks in the past two days alone is the was paid to violence as u.s. for

a band of to eleven and comes amid deepening political turmoil with the government struggling to get the power brokers to work together middle east expert lowers davidson blames washington for sparking the crisis i took playing the iraqi regime and failing to replace it with a stable antennas have. two thousand years in the war and we will move saddam hussein was the darling what is the bad guy. nobody was there to see him go they did all right sectarian and szell by words or very very little. we removed every. thing else from the only place said and no. deception and that there are no part of the american government to try to do. two sides together and what you get is this or here we're going to carry violence it should have never gotten we open pandora's box and we couldn't close even

remotely there. and the question is what can close. investigation of the boston marathon bombings continues with journalists hunting for every new detail he's a sissy trick in the looks not only of the bond ground of the two suspects and the way they're being portrayed by the global media. a terror act shocked the u.s. the suspects are nineteen twenty six year old son i have brothers joe hart was a u.s. citizen to my lot on his way to becoming one but both of chechen origin the older brother to milan is said to have traveled to dagestan in russia for several months . to be. just on the show to make detonators put these things together. nutrition despite the media rage these locations remain unknown to some a lot of people are confusing it with chalk with

a vacuum and. yeah whatever it's called i know i did i can't assume that the majority of americans today even speak english young at the time of the bombings that star nine have spent the last decade living in the u.s. . with. us you know and while the origin and yet again religion are already largely gleaned as the root of all evil the investigation is only in its first stages so the. family member we're just south of there and there are those who knew the two brothers see the media is taking it over the top they can't always be trying to rush to be the first ones to break a new piece of information local blogger luis vasquez knew both brothers while he was here since he was little and if you didn't know a hard name you would just assume that he was an american around here we have a very diverse community and it's normal to here for someone to go back to their country he says over sensationalizing that's our knives background doesn't get any answers to the question by being answered and even for coaching with his brother

they would never go around pounding their chest about their religion the most. then some conversation i've had about about their background is them telling me where they're from that's that's after that all this talk about boxing and let's talk about lunch that's some you'll want to high school with joe hart who has now been charged with the use of weapons of mass destruction the media has a way of spinning things of course and with regards to his nationality to me it doesn't matter. it shouldn't matter what his religion is either when i graduated there were forty five languages spoken just in my graduating class alone it is not unusual in fact it is very common to hear a foreign language he reminds us that the only suspect alive after the bombings has lived in america since the age of eight i didn't come here the younger age you know from everyone that knows and they will tell you and they have told me on certain occasions you know this person was part of the community the attack felt even more

personal and devastating for samuel because he knew the brother is responsible but pointing fingers he says at places of birth or religion is far from crucial what is solving this case and bringing justice that takes time time and effort that would hopefully lead to innocent people feeling safe again security in this country seems like it's more for show than for anything a lot of times unfortunately. that needs to change while the media pick apart every single detail they can lay their hands and ears on it seems that what should matter after the tragedy is tackling terrorism a global threat that has no faith upbringing or religion but has become the curse of the twenty first century not just here but all over the world and so you churkin our party boston massachusetts. president putin says the west should not have called chechen terrorists freedom fighters he's currently holding his annual q. and a session where russians pose questions on any issue they like and more now

with. his joining me now live hugo nice to see you're following this story so why was putin talking about chechen terrorists that right now. well the q. and a session is already in full swing and judging by previous experiences since two thousand and one it could last for several more hours so there's very likely that there will be many more issues touched upon during this discussion but one of the issues talked about so far was of the recent terrorist attack the recent tragedy in boston in walding two suspects who are chechen nationalists and the president has commented on that reminding how russia's actions in the caucasus well to be exact in the two anti terror campaign as there were often shown to the international audience by western media in a negative way while chechen terrorists or just in general terrorism the caucasus

were often presented to people as freedom fighters. there we're going to show decision i think common people in the u.s. have nothing to do that. they don't know what's going on and i would like to address the russian people and the american people everybody who is interested in these issues i can tell you that russia is a victim of international terrorism and so russia is among the first victims. and i hate it when our western partners including some of your colleagues in the media in the west call are terrorists who committed some heinous crime is in russia. when they called them freedom fighters and never called them terrorists which they supported them they provided me to you support for them financial support for them political support. sometimes direct sometimes indirectly

. but they always supported their actions in russia and we always told our partners instead of general declarations you should have closer cooperation. between our. security services and no these two criminals confirmed that we were. you go no one doubts that corruption is a brain for russian development what to put to say about that corruption was and still unfortunately is a major problem for russia still lots of questions are around that especially in light of a set of recent high profile scandals involving involving senior officials like the former defense minister who got tangled up in this huge scandal involving possible fraud worth of several worth of millions of dollars and while the president has

stressed once again that no matter who is involved or just openly involved in the media in these scandals until a court decides who is guilty and who is not then then you can talk about it but he stressed again for people not to follow all the speculation in the media which is not based on the actual decisions of course the president has also commented on the recent initiative to battles from having foreign bank accounts supporting it and saying that if they want to keep their money outside of russia they obviously don't trust russia's banking system and also fall under extra dependency from other states. by the way while you were speaking to bring our viewers some live pictures from this q. and a session igor many thanks indeed for that we'll be talking to you later thanks live as a disabled person in britain could soon become a lot harder than now being asked to prove face to face that they deserve the help

that until recently had been taken for granted now he's pulling back on our reports . he said even his bones break so easily she's already sustained sixty six fractures in her thirty three years she has to use a wheelchair is one of three point two million brits claiming that disability living allowance will d.l.a. which helps those who are unable to move around freely because of physical disability but it's being replaced by a new personal independence payment the looming change will see stricter assessments for determining whether or not to sable people deserve tax payers money he says she's terrified she could lose the monthly payments if i lost everything i'd basically condemned to a life of housebound with my course it would be virtually non-existent but at the moment it's really unclear d.l.a. currently comes in two parts a core payment of up to seventy seven pounds and forty five pence a week and i'm ability component worth up to fifty four pounds that mobility

component means lisa is provided with a car which she says is the one thing that keeps her from being housebound whether or not she gets to keep what she calls her lifeline will become clear over the next year and a half as the new scheme is rolled out and d.l.a. is replaced it's scary. you know i feel like you know laying on a gate seeing the blades and i don't know if it's going to drop or not. just that. does that take you out of mental oh absolutely. i yeah. i don't think i'm going to elaborate on that one on camera and yet the government is on a mission to drastically reform the welfare state today almost one pound in every three spent by the government goes on welfare in a world of competitiveness a world where no one is owed a living we need to have

a welfare system the country can properly afford in order to do that private companies are toss health care and capital. have been drafted in to run the assessments for the changeover from disability living allowance to. their reputation precedes them they've already carried out assessments for people receiving incapacity it's another type of welfare payment to those who are suffering an illness that renders them unable to go to work many people really do worry that the assessments for paper going to be very similar to the warmest it's a currently held for bowman sports allowance of the work capability assessment we've heard of so many cases of abuses of people being treated badly medicals and people not being listened to and in so many cases where people have lost benefits as a consequence of one of these assessments they've appealed and the pill has been over to tribunal last month brain damaged amputee mark evans who can't walk or talk was

classified as fit for work after one such assessment the story isn't the worst the government's own figures show that one thousand three hundred people died after being told they should go back to work right off healthcare and now they're preparing to assess d.l.a. claimants a recent survey found one in five doctors say disabled patients have committed or attempted to commit suicide as a result of undergoing for fear of undergoing the assessments capability they aren't reading about mobile somedays i think. yes i am worthwhile human being and i you know. subsistence level benefits that keep me alive. now the days you're full think questioning you know i am i really worth it. whether or not the government thinks leaser is worth it she'll find out in twenty fifteen when her assessment comes but to critics the changes are about saving money rather than making the system fairer view is. compassion is not only first in

seeing these changes do not represent a compassionate society. london. and up next here and i'll save you the untold stories of the niger delta militants to stay with us for that. it is a mystery to see. him know this is not a fifty's beside fi movie slogan it is what a.b.c. news is trying to find out when they investigated how alina finally textured beef is produced this type of quote beef has become very widespread throughout fast food restaurants and supermarkets in the usa and has led to its south dakota based manufacturer posting profits in the hundreds of millions of dollars but so what's wrong with some processed beefy might ask well the reporting showed that ammonia

and other rough chemicals were doused on to the meat to kill equal i bacteria and make it safe for consumption although this product is for some reason legal the film is about to create public backlash and many companies give up ordering the mysteriously and finally took should be one of the mainstream media for once actually did something valuable for society and what did they get in return sued yeah the pink slime crew decided to sue a.b.c. news and forced them not to divulge their company's secrets as well as punish them for defamation against their product which led to profit losses and guess what they won the lawsuit well defaming products that on mass could destroy the health of millions of americans is no blasphemy in my book but that's just my opinion. wealthy british science.
