was. the british foreign secretary arrived in edinburgh to spearhead efforts to convince gulf and its future and its oil money could stay within the united kingdom. i mean straight is in turkey and your another night of heavy policing is the ruling party m.p. tells our to the crackdown is being forced by extremists plaguing the protest movement . and criticism over the treatment of guantanamo bay detainees grows louder doctors are urged president obama twelve independent medical examinations for those on hunger strike at the notorious prison camp.

and i welcome thanks for being with us this morning and watching r.t. with me andrew. now the british government is beginning its charm offensive on scotland to keep it part of the u.k. with foreign secretary william hague chosen as cheerleader he's in edinburgh later to speak about why the kingdom should remain united see sarah firth breaks down how he's expected to convince the naysayers. mr hague's going to be trying to lay out in foreign policy terms why he feels it's preferable the scots stay put and it's the basis of his argument is going to be this that a vote for independence is not going to be a vote for business as usual is going to bring about stances change in his thought he's going to try and highlight some of the possible negative implications that that could bring of course it's a stance of change that's exactly what these within the yes campaign those who want

to see an independent scotland want to bring about they accuse westminster of dominating economic policy dominating resources and they say they want to break that stranglehold now they have been political to both sides those within the yes campaign for example have pointed to a recent treasury report in which independent scotland was placed in the same category as iceland cyprus and ireland all of which of course have had economic crises and now those within the yes campaign say these sort of tactics are scaremongering to try and persuade more people to vote against independence of course no more fiercely this is the way to run an independent get played out than in the discussion when it comes to oil now this we saw a senior member of government is missing that where scotland to become independent

it would have a major resource on its hands another member of government would also go as far as to say that possibly in the past the u.k. government had downplayed the value of that asset it's quite hard to get a gauge when you'll hear of exactly where the school system people a place that it's quite a divided mix and you talk to people on the streets there today when that speech happens we'll be bringing you all the latest from mass and it's thought we're going . you hit that point really hernot hang that the u.k. stronger together and it's still with the hague will be telling scotland that it will also be a face for scotland but of course they sit in the s.n.p. they sit in the yes campaign saying they're still everything to play for the recent polls suggest a batter third of scots support independence compared to fifty nine percent who want to remain in the u.k. scottish and pe angus macneil insists the nation can do well on its own by financially and politically london should be well practiced in this the empire has

gone the colonies have gone about fifty nations have become independent of london london's an old hundred this and ireland's moved on doesn't want to come back even the tiny island man of the coast of the u.k. doesn't want to be ruled from london either so you know they're going through a process and that may be good for a learning curve that find it difficult yet again but of course the practicalities to consider as well how you're going to fund yourself is the. balance the books the u.k. government's releases this paper warning scotland will suffer a banking collapse just like cyprus or island if it becomes independent what's that the united kingdom government should be well aware that they haven't funded themselves is two thousand and one is twelve years they haven't balance the books scotland is actually eight point four percent of the u.k. population pay nine point nine percent of the taxation of the u.k. we're very confident we can peer and we are but incidentally we also believe england can too one thing is certain this independence of scotland is going through like the other hundred forty two you know that went through in the past scotland is

probably the best planned ever i can think of another nation that's gone through so much planning it's a much closer examination in the lead up to its independence so all bodes well for the future and scare mongering stories such as how could scotland pay for itself for goodness sakes it's absolute nonsense. another large protest has been dispersed overnight by police using water cannons in turkey's capital ankara this after wednesday saw dozens of arrests across the country as authorities bid to stop the three weeks long unrest artie's tom barton witnessed this latest crackdown. this crossroads in the center of ankara was filled with protesters just a few minutes before it might be hard to believe but now it's totally empty you can see one of the police vehicles up there still using its water cannon against the remaining few protesters the police charged in here with two vehicles firing tear gas everyone in the square true king on that having to dive for cover and water

cannon blasting everything around they've left branches hanging off trees and debris and water all over the streets protesters who had been gathered to try and demonstrate their anger at perceived or for a tear in ism by prime minister erdogan of turkey coming to scatter into side streets all around here very shocked by the sudden on rush of these police vehicles this particular spot has marked nightly confrontations between police and protesters some might say some onlookers might say really proving what protesters might be saying that the police really over reacting to some of the protests here it's not quite known what exactly did set off the police but protesters absolutely saying it's this kind of pretty police response that has them out on the streets protesting in the first place mr irvine and his supporters for their part calling some of the protesters terrorists implicating possible foreign involvement in their

funding and saying that they don't represent a large part of the turkey turkish populace he does have a fair point in that around half of the turkish populace polls indicate do support him well tom caught up with an m.p. for turkey's ruling party chatter i kill it he said police were forced to resort to toughen measures against the protesters we have to distinguish here between protesters and troublemakers and members of illegal organizations who are trying to create havoc within. within the city of stumble in some other cities in turkey. the police has a lawful rights to use. the law given means to them to disperse of these troublemakers. vandals. if you're looking for a balance i would say the police has to has to act within its powers that is

a balance for the police however decisions we're trying to use their democratic rights to protest have to do this peacefully if you're resorting to violence and using mult of cork tails and other kinds of weaponries against officials who were. given the duty by the state to protect public order then of course these law these law enforcement officers have the right to use the force that is given to them by law within the law. two faced on the two state solution israeli cabinet members called to give the palestinians their own nation nothing but how plus we explain in a minute the peace process could be. the force feeding of prisoners at the guantanamo bay prison has led some doctors to call on the facilities medical staff not to treat detainees and allow them to go on hunger

strike the world medical association has declared that force feeding is never ethically acceptable saying the starving themselves need to have their injustices addressed you can as this report. way and the world medical association demand access for independent doctors to guantanamo detainees more than one hundred fifty doctors including from the us have signed an open letter to drop obama urging him to allow access to independent medical examinations and advice here's what they write it is clear that the detainees do not trust their military doctors they have very good reason for this is you should know from the current protocols of the joint task force guantanamo which those doctors are ordered to follow the orders they receive or ultimately orders as their commander in chief without trust safe an acceptable medical care of mentally competent patients is impossible for the above mentioned protocols described the procedure of force feeding that the doctors are obliged to administer at guantanamo it involves

a tube inserted through the nose and down the throat of the detainees on hunger strike and those who are being force fed at guantanamo describe it as a very painful procedure to which they gave no consent actually it is the opinion of the u.n. commission on human rights that for speeding is a lawful and torture when it's clear that it's a protest and a last resort for the detainees because before the hunger strike became impossible to ignore one tunnel was out of sight out of mind and washington was happy to keep it that way the un has repeatedly called on the obama administration to stop the practice of force feeding and fix the underlying issue of this hunger strike which is indefinite detention the entire international community has called on the us to either try these people or let them go shopping tubes down their noses doesn't fix the problem. terry cooper says. she can cool irreparable

damage. the force feeding is an entirely toxic situation where the individual is tied strapped to a restraint chair the tube is forced down their throat they tend to vomit in that situation when food is forced into their body they're being in voluntarily medicated with medications that have very dangerous side effects all of this abuses medical ethics and a doctor should not participate the united states military should not be doing it one of the purposes of torture is to cause permanent damage from what i understand of the hunger strike and particularly the conditions of confinement the kinds of searches that are being done the fact that the prisoners are kept in extreme isolation a lot of the time that they're treated cruelly all of these become traumatic memories as does placement in a restraint chair of the forcing of a tube down their throat and this then becomes lasting memories that cannot be integrated into their personality and it causes ongoing symptoms even if they're to

be released the trauma reverberates in the psychological life that is the individual has the memories of the trauma is unable to alleviate the pain keeps having intrusive memories for instance flashbacks and nightmares and such and this becomes a rather continuous problem in their lives so they can't go along with the normal events of life and they don't come right now the world's fastest growing economic giant go to extremes for a clean china introduces an execution for they seem dead to break the nation's environmental protection oh it's also online maker of late find kim dotcom accuses the us government for what he calls the largest massacre of data in the history of the internet you can find out who won a battle on our web site at how to help. welcome

. follow welcome back now israel's commitment to a two state solution to achieve peace with the palestinians is in serious doubt recent comments from some senior israeli cabinet members suggest the ruling coalition staunchly oppose the idea of the country's deputy defense minister danny danon said move to promote it will be buried in parliament should they be up for discussion the statement was later echoed by the israeli trade minister in the bennet he described he declared the t. state option had hit a dead end and also called for a swift annexation of territories in the west bank this could cast a shadow on international efforts to bring israel and palestine to the negotiating table as u.s. secretary of state john kerry gears up for his fifth trip to the region to try and edge divisions between the two sides but the war of words means little to scores of

suffering palestinians whose homes are constantly being cornered by walls of thick concrete paula slayer has this report. the walls might be coming down in the race to the world but here in israel they're going up there's one along the country's border with egypt there's a fifty one kilometer one around gaza there's one in the pipeline next to jordan and the newest frontier is being fortified along the lebanese and syrian borders and then there's the most famous the controversial so-called separation wall that encircles the west bank of course it's of us the for. defending itself and preparing itself for possible future attacks towards the borders of israel assessable and also it seems from attacks even closer to home it's not only on the borders but also here inside israel twenty minutes away from tel aviv jews and arabs have lived side by side in the israeli city of lard for generations but in

one part of the city they're now living on opposite sides of a concrete wall. we met a time the horn on the jewish side he builds wars for a living but they're usually the decorative type used for exhibitions and parties he and his jewish neighbors battled hard even dipping into their own pockets to build this wall our neighbors next door. are. they making a lot of trouble to us there are people here there are farmers and they have land growing. with or something else and they used to. burn everything selling drugs they come to our house feel for inventing. drugs they want a lot has the highest homicide rate in israel police say it's because of infighting among arab families but the families say that's nonsense. there is no reason to build this war besides racism they build it because we are arabs it bothers me they

did not leave us any room and they do not even on this land. abdullah is one of those who now finds himself on the wrong side of the wall. the jews fear arabs and always build a wall if there are no arabs they don't build a wall. israelis argue they was all meant to keep terrorism and illegal infiltration out both dropped ninety percent after the barriers went up but palestinians insist the wars keep them under siege and are used as an excuse for annexing palestinian land wars in the name of the game of israel virtual wars and real wars the feeling is that it's the israelis more and more getting into the gate all this terror will be their war there are immigrants from africa will be there war every single be sold by building a war and above all the world is against us let's win the war israel's physical

isolation gets clearer by the day a country that could soon be completely enclosed by steel concrete and barbed wire . for r.t. in large city israel. now brazil is seeing its worst protest in over a decade sparked by high taxes corruption and the extravagant cost of the upcoming upcoming football world cup r.t. sam sacks reports now on the unrest. it is sponsibility to organize the thoughts the cup in two thousand and fourteen two didn't come to receive that was six years ago an announcement that the world's biggest soccer tournament would be coming home to brazil for the first time since one thousand nine hundred fifty but with one year to go until the tournament kicks off this is what's happening in brazil this week. at least two hundred thousand brazilians have taken to the streets all around the country with massive demonstrations in

major cities like sell paolo in rio de janeiro cities which are also currently spending huge amounts of public money on sports stadiums and security in preparation for the global soccer tournament next year and then the olympics in two thousand and sixteen and demonstrators want to know why billions of dollars in public money is being funneled to build extravagant sports stadiums while schools hospitals roads and water facilities around the country are crumbling a sentiment summed up in this now viral you tube video so well cup is going to add up to about thirty eight billions of dollars that's more than the last three were all cut at together they added up to about twenty five billion so to make matters worse to raise even more revenue the public services in brazil have been cut and bus fares have been increased a move that sparked the demonstrations around the country last week and the nation's poorest have suffered the most as favelas are bulldozed to make room for

new tourist destinations as many as one point five million families are expected to be forced out of their homes before the world cup kicks off meanwhile private real estate developers construction companies and multinational sponsors are doing very well securing huge contracts and preparing for a profit bonanza when the world flocks to brazil next summer but what happens to the broader brazilian economy after the games are over in two thousand and ten south africa. as to the world cup and the country was only able to recruit a tenth of the nearly five billion dollars spent to prepare for the games meanwhile the international soccer governing body made its money off south africa's hospitality collecting billions in television and marketing rights so it's no wonder why brazilian taxpayers feel like they're getting a raw deal same sex are today. so let's look at what you think is the root cause

behind this unrest in brazil at r.t. dot com the majority of you believe it's government inefficiency and corruption twenty six percent say its foreign efforts to destabilize latin america around fifteen percent believe it is all because of the hike in public fees and world cup costs and then the remainder that's thirteen percent say it's due to the global economic slowdown now you can choose to cast your vote or you have to do is go to r.t. dot com. some other news in brief now this hour at least twenty two people have died following a gunfight at the u.n. compound in somalia the attackers detonated a car bomb at the entrance and then stormed the compound the victims include insurgents u.n. employees and civilians the al qaeda linked rebel group. has claimed responsibility . syrian troops alongside lebanon's hezbollah are reportedly fighting rebels in

a damascus suburb which is home to a major issue a shrine protecting the. mosque is seen as crucial for president sad who is backed by shia muslims the fighting in the area is part of a wider offensive aimed at recapturing the suburbs of the country's capital. now the shaky peace process in afghanistan is under threat with president karzai suspending talks with the u.s. on a new security deal the move comes in reaction to washington's u. turn decision to enter direct negotiations with the taliban first discussions are due later today at the militant organizations new office in qatar but only hours after saying it's ready for talks with washington the taliban claimed responsibility for a deadly assault on an american air base the latest in a string of attacks meanwhile afghan forces have taken over control of the country's security paving the way. for a complete u.s. pullout in twenty fourteen dr kahn how in columnist the online journal foreign

policy in focus is skeptical about the pace talks. there's a war going on we haven't declared ceasefire and if we're not going to declare a cease fire why shouldn't our declared fix our country is more unstable than it's ever been. do you know that states is in the position we're in the process of trying to retreat from the country they have had their supply lines attack and you actually lost this war this is them an unmitigated disaster and essentially what the united states is trying to do is to stop the hemorrhaging but is the same time still maintain some kind of presence in afghanistan whether the taliban or wow that that's not clear barack obama has visited verdun for the first time as u.s. president came in two thousand and eight to give

a triumphant speech in the city when running for the white house attracting hundreds of thousands this time the crowd numbered just a few thousand and the welcome was not as warm he was met by protests against the u.s. eavesdropping following revelations of the n.s.a. sweeping global surveillance with germany among those most affected another group of activists were rallying in support of the hunger strikers in one town and you have been refusing food for over four months now have a protest is wearing orange jumpsuits called for detainees to be either formally charged or released during his keynote speech in berlin obama again called for the closure of the cuba base prison among other things his party's peeta all of the reports. president obama received a far cooler reception on his latest visit to lynn than he had received five years ago back in two thousand and eighty two a huge crowd of over two hundred thousand people to come and hear him speak this time around four thousand and those were

well handpicked mostly american students diplomats and other personnel that were penned in around the brandenburg gate what main issue that barack obama picked to deliver in his speech was that of an increase in getting rid of nuclear weapons he said that the current start treaty between the united states and russia was already doing very good work but he said he wanted to do a lot more he wanted to see the amounts of weapons reduced by a third the one third and said that he'd be speaking to the leadership in russia or one of the major issues that overshadowed in some ways the historic nature of. his visit has been the n.s.a. spying scandal germany was one of the countries targeted the most by prism that snooping device of looking into e-mails and phone calls and alerts prompted

a lot of demonstrations ahead of barack obama's visit and also during that while he was giving his address not brandenburg gate the amount of security that's being own show here i'm in is pretty much mind blowing it's been on in place pretty much since friday a huge police cordon separating the area around the brandenburg gate from the rest of central perlin was erected resource leipus on rooftops and people pretty much not allowed to get anywhere near to there was also fences a huge glass protective shield put up to make sure that nobody who hadn't received one of those four thousand invitations could be. isn't the speech that was being given at brandenburg gate and with so many demonstrators coming out to the the u.s. president as opposed to those who came to cheer him five years ago well that's why the organizers deemed that type of security necessary in order to keep them away

from where the president was delivering his speech he it is coming up see half past eight prime interest is next. good afternoon to welcome to prime interest i'm perry i'm boring in washington d c and here's the headlines in the room following today. it's bad day after six weeks of job openings from the last announcement in scaring risk markets into a correction we're taking speeds we've been seeing much recent price inflation and unemployment data still have not reached target and it caters to be gained but fed might reduce its bond buying princes later this year we'll talk with dr andrus producer bob inglis from the new york stock exchange and just a bit and the pending consultant bill boyd to financial advisory services is under the gun no not because of its role in the botched independent foreclosure review
