for tuning out when things take a turn for the unexpected actually it's the pressure of the prime minister that is reflected on the media and we think it's unfair other channels international journalists sharing this information and we have to find out about. only internation generals it's unfair to the people but many believe there's a certain responsibility that comes with being a provider of news and those in turkey have failed at it i don't know what will happen in the future but we have only one channel which shows everything in this country it's really real we are going to decide when we cannot standing for example my mother she lives in a little village if i don't call her she will know nothing with the growing magnitude of protests some of the privately owned channels caught on to the event and tried to make up for lost time i think there's one news channel which has the director of new zealand said that they were sorry and they made a mistake for not covering. their covering it's quite well but the boss the state media is is not. saying that it's just misguided people or manipulated
6:04 am

6:11 am
since morning in total four and a half thousand people have been evacuated several dozen passengers needed help from doctors including one child all due to smoke inhalation now the first fire happened at around eight am moscow time inside a tunnel linking to central metro stations this is the time where the metro is believed to be used by hundreds of thousands of people getting to work and you just school. pretty much since then. there have been these significant problems with the movement of trains they have been suspended in the launch part of the squall line so you can imagine the sort of problems these people are having getting places where they need to go authorities did deploy additional public transport like buses and trolley buses but well we'll keep you updated as the situation develops and like i said i fairly there's now a second fire or a second short circuit which may have taken place on the same line. the law house

of the u.s. congress has voted against closing guantanamo bay blocking the use of taxpayer money to house any detainees transferred from the prison hunger strike that the facility is into its fifth month and some long suffering relatives of the inmates from yemen are skeptical they'll ever see their loved ones again despite obama's promises to send them home adela's is. one such family. now some might argue there's not all that much difference between the physical torture that many prisoners undergo montana mode and the emotional toll meant their relatives are forced to deal with at home like the family of abdurahman ash batty a yemeni terror suspects held at the controversial detention center since two thousand and two after his arrest the whole family was accused of links to terrorists only. america's support for human rights is merely a show it only cares about its own people well it destroys the rights of all others
6:13 am
who have been suffering for thirteen years now in yemen president obama's recent promise to lift restrictions off get made detainees specifically from the country was greeted with nothing but sneers. start of these nonstop lies a bomb remembers about guantanamo only during election campaigns and on holidays he promised to shut it down several times and to forward their cases to their home countries these are all lies. meanwhile back in one town away itself as the thirty yemeni prisoners wait for the u.s. president's promises to come true the full month long hunger strike against their indefinite detention continues person is have been demanding fanaa military doctors to be allowed to treat them nearly forty out of more than one hundred protesters are reportedly being force fed something they claim is torture in itself they are
6:14 am
close enough to death that the military sees a need to force feed them none of them enjoy being force fed i can tell you that and they have described being force fed in such terms of having a knife run down their throat back in yemen the relatives all say they are going to believe another word from president obama until they see their sons brothers and husbands finally return home that's a love that i meant to be no more than this family's case is merely one of several dozen where people can only suffer and cry helplessly inside their homes but hope the ice last. page him a son of yemen. very hale and i'll say truth on the stunned the trial of the whistleblower bradley manning is approaching it said many believe the high profile proceedings called upon to get we can expound

6:17 am
a little account in the wake of the recent will it murder a number of arrests were made across the country after police responded to tweets it was the latest clear sign that police are in placing seychelle media in a way they never have before person might be in need police territory but their actions tread a fine line already someone familiar with the legal ramifications of their tweets felt the full force of the law was one notable example came after a tweet to footballer james mcclean joining in online anger at the footballers decision not to wear a remembrance day poppy katie aiden look he tweeted he deserves to be shot dead alongside a picture of bullets two weeks later and he was arrested by manchester police do you feel like you crossed the line looking back. to. practicing hard. time think you ought. to
6:18 am
consequences they katie's case has since been dropped it's easy to see the cyber threats can cause real fear and often is deserving of punishment but other cases have ranged from the confusing to the downright ludicrous and figures obtained by artesian a steadily rising number of prosecutions in person under the communications act two thousand and three including phone calls emails and social media posts i think the fundamental problem is that there is over policing in the police or have been recent times far too willing to take seriously or complaints and investigate them instead of using commonsense new guidelines set to be made final by the criminal prosecution service in the coming weeks but with the explosion of social media leaving british law fighting to catch up. many in the legal profession a warning that social media uses now need to tread very carefully i mean it is very
6:19 am
deeply concerning i think given the legal perspective and i guess it would be interesting to see your advice to people that actually even though it's ok to say somebody say things when it comes to the station media but it just mention bad things they say well i'm afraid that twitter simply isn't my thing for. me there is facebook and your activities there's a. lot that's never been before so. to be invited to be extremely tough for. sara for. london radley mining to ignore tons of a classified u.s. documents to wiki leaks with the goal of a using the enemy on day two of his trial that was the testimony of a convicted hunka who actually hunted him and until she's clocks are just erotic another whistle blower with things the government's ultimate goal is to get we can make fonda juvenile songs. bradley manning very much is being politically used
6:20 am
as a way to try to reach a songe and there have been rumors of secret indictments on julian of songe here in the united states so the extent that this government has way over charged way over prosecuted and is going after manning you know as if he was a devil in carney speaks volumes to not only making an example out of manning but also the vitriol and contempt that they have against julian assange engine wiki leaks even though bradley manning has testified that he didn't know with whom he was dialoging on the other and it could have been a song during anybody had no reason to think that it was a songe and he was not he didn't understand it to be a saw and she thought it was someone from wiki leaks i think the government very much wants him to say that he was dialoging with julian assange in order to try to
6:21 am
go after julian assigns. oh you bradley manning that water campaign in support of the hundred whistleblowers asking with a lift liberties offering their support and to all to go home right now to find out . and while you're online trying this out as well in the u.s. everything sells even top secrets from the israeli military american veld every tiny screw one of its allies top secret facilities or federal business opportunities website this and much more had to auntie dot com. minutes after being elected for a said no because section of time as pakistan's prime minister nawaz sharif has called on the us to end drone strikes in his country pakistan's high court earlier declared these operations a blatant violation of sovereignty and human rights she spoke to shows who is a lawyer representing drone victims against the us and he told us about the effect
6:22 am
the talks her. president obama often so that it only kills a bullet and doesn't kill civilians but he feels to give names and identities of those who have been killed in the use of strikes in pakistan now according to independent sources more than three thousand people have been killed in reservist on in pakistan but not a single name has been given by president obama or the cia which is occurring over the strikes what we hear from news reports is just a few names of militant leaders who have been killed president obama sure that he is killing militants and he has not killed any civilian than he used to give the names and details of all those militants who he has killed because for a pakistani i would be happy in a sense that if you have killed all those people who are creating all those are in my cities if you kill all these people were killed let you go probably for your well listen a floor but at least i will be happy that you are making me see if what the
6:23 am
question here is that who are you killing. and you can watch that entire conversation by tuning into all see at eighteen forty five. the last one is about to get the green light to become the eighteenth member of the euro zone the baltic country is likely to join the single currency in january next year a decade after it joined the what was europe still struggling to dig itself out of debt many believe last was jumping aboard a sinking ship as was his case appeal be explained. there will be officially swapping their laps for your eyes now to adopt the single currency latvia reduces public deficit to below the e.u. ceiling of three percent of g.d.p. last year which is an achievement considering latvia underwent one of europe's toughest austerity programs after the two thousand and eight crisis wiped
6:24 am
a fifth of its g.d.p. under spice recovery the country still remains one of the purposed in the e.u. so now that the latvian economy is back on track will entrance to the euro zone derail its recovery well let's take a look at the current members are our risk right now of exiting the eurozone we can see that slovenia which adopted figure in two thousand and four is the latest country in financial trouble now public debt has almost doubled to reach forty seven percent as to cyprus the recent banking crisis did little to enrich their economy as you can see there sixty six percent as for greece and that figure is nearly twice as much as the g.d.p. just if we take a look at a few countries that don't actually have the euro we can see that adopting new year is not crucial to having a reasonably healthy economy particular in the case of bulgaria with with twenty
6:25 am
percent and this is got some experts wondering what the urgency is for latvia to join the common currency. it is tied to here their monetary policy which is suitable for germany and that means that once the direction of the interest rates changes from the current very low to the historical averages and they will be your own they're. likely going to suffer a significant contraction during the mystic investment for example these are slovenia greece cyprus or to go and all the rest of the peripheral europe certainly gold to lay in terms of the future instability in the europe well valuations and in terms of the interest rates that means. countries like to have certainty in planning in terms of the longer term investments especially infrastructural investments in blue future that will result significant problems and significant course and there's also another issue not the overall need to consider since offshore favorite cyprus hit the infamous banking crisis phones have been flowing

towards latvia strengthening these small boat estates position as an offshore banking center but once the country adopts a year right european ministers will have more control over the country's banking rules and as a consequence dreams of becoming a tax haven might be over along with a lot. coming up it's time to crunch the numbers our financial show prime interest is after the break he'll announce. wealthy british style. restaurant because for.
