the british foreign secretary arrives in edinburgh to spearhead efforts to convince scotland it and its oil money should stay within the united kingdom. brazil sees its worst possible worst protest in over a decade of disputes over corruption and be extravagant cost of the football world cup uncovered economic and political discontent and criticism over the treatment of one ton of my baby tiny's grows as doctors president obama to allow independent medical examinations for those on hunger strike at the notorious prison.

you're watching r.t. live from moscow with me andrew felt 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 the cheerleader he's in edinburgh later to speak about why scotland and its all money should remain ruled by london r.t. sarah firth breaks down how he is expected to convince the naysayers. mr hague is going to be trying to lay out in foreign policy terms why he feels it's preferable that scott's 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 a stance of 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 of 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 there's been a political tit for tat with 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 debate around independence 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 had also gone 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 people 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 that and it's thought we're going . to hit that point really have it hang at the u.k. stronger together and it's thought mr hague will be telling scotland that it will also be a safer scotland but of course they say then the s.n.p. they did in the yes campaign saying they still everything to play for a recent poll suggest about a third of scots support independence compared to fifty nine percent he want to remain in the u.k. but scottish and pay angus macneil insists the nation can do well on its own both 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 to 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 and how you're going to fund yourself is the. balance the books the u.k. government releases at 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 as 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 in this independence that scotland is going through like the other hundred forty two now 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 and so much cross-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. massive protests refuse to die down in brazil despite the government backtracking on plans to increase the cost of public transport activists are angry at what they claim is widespread corruption and extravagant spending on the upcoming football world cup to carry out their biggest demonstrations yet on thursday. reports brazil is still under pressure due to the unprecedented public protests which have been taking place all over the country for the past ten days conflicts hard to sport is to sell paolo where there have been recent violent riots as the demonstrators try to take over the local government's main building where they

faced off with the police the brazilian government said it will deploy the national public security force in five cities hosting the fee for football tournament in an effort to contain the ongoing protests in the city of least two people have been injured near a city and were riot police attempted to prevent them from entering the site the demonstrators fled after being tear gassed the demonstrators main grievances the increase in public transport fees in several brazilian cities and also the extraordinary public but for the two thousand and fourteen world cup eight cities including sao paulo and rio de janeiro have been forced by the demonstrations to abandon the transport free rise however thousands of people that have been joining the protests have introduced new complaints towards president dilma rousseff government such as one day defined as the poor conditions of the education and health care systems president rousseff started that she was impressed with the

demonstrations which according to her are taken into account by her government since they represent the country has a working democracy however protesters have decided to remain on the streets and organize your rallies until definitive solution today concerns is found. so let's have a look at why you think this unrest is happening at the moment this is the result so far evolved poll that we've got on our website r.t. dot com forty seven percent of you believe that it's all down to government inefficiency and corruption twenty five percent believe there is a foreign plot to try and destabilize latin america and we have fifteen percent saying it's all down to the initial hike in transport fees plus the rising cost of trying to host the world cup and them finally a smaller percentage that the percent say it's really down to the general global economic slowdown you can cast your vote all you have to do is go to r.t. dot com. the force feeding of prisoners that the prison has

led some doctors to call on the facilities medical staff not to treat detainees and to allow them to go on hunger strike the world medical association has declared force feeding is not ethically acceptable and believes that those starving themselves need to have their just to see addressed. as this report thank you way and the world medical association demand access for independent doctors to want to do paintings more than one hundred fifty doctors including from the u.s. have signed an open letter to grow obama urging them to allow one hundred more detainees 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 alternately your orders as their commander in chief without trust

safe and acceptable medical care of mentally competent patients is impossible the above mentioned protocols the scribed the procedure for speeding 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. 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 force feeding 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 u.n. 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

. while the number of guantanamo bay detainees being force fed has been growing rapidly over the past few months just look at the figures here according to the prisons officials in march this year out of the thirty seven hunger strike is eleven were receiving and through feeds boss for the month and you have a dramatic increase jump to one hundred here with twenty one of those hunger strikers being force fed last month three more people join the hunger strike and fifteen more to be given food against their will and then this brings us to today with one hundred four prisoners refusing food and forty four of those being force fed my colleague the banknorth say earlier spoke with dr frank on what the author of the letters sent to barack obama he says what's going on behind bars amounts to torture. can you talk about both the short and long term. i guess if they all for this sort of treatment all this sort of procedure what appears to be happening

is that when these wait or health deteriorates to an alarming degree they are forced to. rosarito not complete and then allowed to starve themselves and with the scariest thing of all is a drug called mr cooper which is normally used for involvement is being administered to these people in ways or in violation of practice and or potentially dangerous this is a drug which over the long term use is known to cause neurological damage which may be a problem. on the two state solution israeli cabinet . to give the palestinians their own nothing but we explain in a minute high the peace process could be. another

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 choking 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 erdogan 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 did manage to catch up with an m.p. for turkey's ruling party chair thai kill it she said police were forced to resort to toughen measures against protesters. we have to distinguish here between protesters and troublemakers and members of illegal organizations who are trying to create havoc within and 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 and vandals and now. if you're looking for a balance i would say the police has to has to act within its law given powers that is a balance for the police however decisions who are 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 are. 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 clearly we spoke to thank you sue chargeback who took part in the anchor price asked and she says police target peaceful protesters and extremists indiscriminately. protests turned into like

the u.s. government for what he calls the largest massacre of data in the history of the internet you can find out more about those stories at r.t. dot com. israel's commitment to a two state solution to achieve peace with the palestinians is in serious tact recent comments from some a senior israeli cabinet members suggest the ruling coalition staunchly opposed the idea the country's deputy defense minister danny din on said moves to promote it will be buried in parliament not statement was later echoed by the israeli trade minister naftali bennett he declared the two state option had hit a dead end and also called for a swift or an exception of territories in the west bank and this could cast a shadow on international efforts to bring israel and palestine to the negotiating table u.s. secretary of state john kerry is planning his fifth trip to the region to try to bring the two sides together but the war of words means little to scores of

suffering palestinians whose homes are constantly being cornered by wars of thick concrete reports. 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 in circles the west bank of course it was the fact that israel is defending itself and preparing itself for possible future attacks towards the. necessity 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 a horn on the jewish side he builds wars for a living but they 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. they're making a lot of trouble for us there are people here there are farmers and they have land growing. with or something else and they used to. burn everything. drugs they come to our house. 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 you know there is no

reason to build this war besides racism they built it because we are arabs it bothers me they did not leave us any of them and they do not even own the slander shorter than a few abdullah is one of those who now finds himself on the wrong side of the wall i owed him if to severe arabs i always build a world in which i said oh no arabs just welcome it don't build a wall there are lots more 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. more and more getting into the tool there is still will be there war. immigrants from africa will be there war every single be sort of building

a war and above all their words against us let's win the war israel's physical isolation gets clearer by the day a country there could soon be completely enclosed by steel concrete and barbed wire . for r.t. in large city israel. 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 utan decision to enter direct negotiations with the taliban first discussions argy later today the militant organizations new office and cattle but only hours after say saying it's ready for talks with washington the taliban claimed responsibility for a deadly assault on an american 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 on twenty fourteen dr kahn hallinan columnist at the online journal foreign

policy in focus is skeptical about the peace 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. d.n.a. it 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 it's the same time still maintain some kind of presence in afghanistan whether the taliban wow that that's not clear. global big business is gathering in st petersburg at the moment to discuss what's

happening in the world's economy with russia's political and business elite in our business correspondent katie pill being is rubbing shoulders with the. as we know also banking dominate the economic agenda at the g eight summit in northern ireland this week and the topic is very much dilemma knowing its way to st pete to bag right hate and i'm going to get some professional analysis on the topic from i've been it's not so from us one investment great white has give me the light that he sent me what they say when they see a comic passable i'm wife you'll be on field so i they said they played it may well be off your sation is an issue that comes back from time to time in world economic history the reality in russia is that until we have investors savers who have a high degree of confidence and trust in the way russia is administered you're

going to have a real difficult time addressing to offer as a nation even more because humans here in russia because the banking sector is so reliant upon official business to have a tough a don't call it one when russia began to accumulate capital globally it was impossible to accumulate capital within russia there were good reasons for having offshore accounts russia had whole industries up as we know grew up in offshore zones most notably cyprus that service this money that's value added on top of just a place to keep your money but we have now in russia is in theory a banking system that's more than capable of taking that money back and using it domestically but what you do not have it's confidence by investors that this would be in their interest and so the government's task in the authorization is not just to present to talks but to build trust among its own people among savers among investors and the government is far so far away from doing so i

can it's about the general theme of the four enhanced days when about the ring that getting a new economy the resolutely said we've pretty far away from that by. now this is what we hear i say at the height of its recess and we need to be so great here in the us as well how are we going to see the situation for let's say there's a pretty strong consensus among most people who are attending this forum about what needs to be done here first it's the old old story not the rule of man but rule of law secondly it's on not in these entrenched the beats. in polls to me i'm a rocker see it so that people have an opportunity to develop businesses without one appearance from incumbents these kinds of things are well established the good news is that the russian economy still has growth that. there are sectors of the russian economy that are still quite vibrant and building and building on those

successes is something that we'd all like to see for the regime turn to turn towards him people thank you very much indeed that is such that from outside investment great plains know it leave it and seize the day from the city to back into knots no economic forum i was approaching a hopeless twelve here in moscow i'm back with more news at the top of the hour in between we've got the story of people victimized in the name of science.
