now. the british foreign secretary arrives in edinburgh to spearhead efforts to convince scotland its future and its oil money should stay within the united kingdom. believe brazil sees its worst protests in over a decade as disputes over corruption and the cost of the football world cup uncover deep economic and political discontent. and criticism over the treatment of one ton of my baby taney. as president obama independent medical examinations for those on hunger strike at the notorious prison. and i welcome you watching r.t.

with me. 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 scotland and its own money should remain ruled by london r.t. sarah firth breaks down he's expected to convince the night. mr hague is going to be trying to lay out in foreign policy terms why he feels it's preferable that scots stay put that is 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 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 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 school and 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 school system people placed 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 hermit hoping that the u.k. stronger together and it's filled with the hague will be telling scotland that it will also be a face 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 while recent polls suggest about a third of scots support independence compared to fifty nine percent he won't true nine in the u.k. but scottish champagne 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 s. 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 in the maybe good for a learning curve the find it difficult yet again but of course the practicalities to consider as well one how you 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 ireland if it becomes independent what's that the united kingdom government should do 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 more 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 on the scaremongering story such as how could scotland pay for itself for goodness sakes it's absolute nonsense. massive protests refused 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 and the value to carry out their biggest demonstration yet on thursday artistic national jugular as this report. 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 itself bhalo where there have been recent violent riots as the demonstrators tried 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 to demonstrate or smain 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 rights 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 the reasons why you think this unrest is happening in brazil this is the latest from our online poll of hearty dot com forty seven percent if you believe in stanton government inefficiency and corruption that's why people are at. i believe it's something to do with a foreign plot in the attempt to destabilize latin america fifteen percent of you there in yellow believe it's all to do with the initial hike in public fees including transport costs as well as increasing world cup costs and also then there's thirteen percent who say it's actually all down to the general global economic slowdown you can cast your vote all you do have to do is go to r.t. dot com. the force feeding of prisoners at guantanamo bay

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 the procedure is not ethically acceptable and believes those starving themselves need to have their injustices addressed r.t.c. any chickie reports. the 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 grow obama urging him to allow detainees access to independent medical examinations and advice here's what they write deduce 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 your orders as their commander in chief without trust

safe an acceptable medical care of mentally competent patients is impossible the above mentioned protocols describe the procedure of 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 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 to just down their noses doesn't

fix the problem. the number of guantanamo bay detainees being force fed has been growing rapidly over the past few months you just have to look at the figures according to the prisons officials in march this year out of thirty seven hunger strike is eleven we're receiving untrue feeds fast forward a month and you have a dramatic increase is now up to one hundred hunger strikers with twenty one of those being force fed last month three more people join the hunger strike and fifteen more had to be given food against their will so this brings us to june with a hundred four prisoners refusing food forty four of those being force fed my colleague the bang not say earlier spoke with dr frank arnold 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 that's all for this sort of treatment all this sort of procedure what appears to be happening is that

when detainees wait or health deteriorates to it alarming degree they are forced to . rosarito not complete and then allowed to starve themselves again with the scariest thing of all is a drug called mr cooper which is normally used for noise here and vomit is being administered to these people in ways that are in violation of good practice and are potentially dangerous this is a drug which over long term use is known to cause neurological damage which may be probably. the only key state solution that off the israeli cabinet member to give the palestinians their own nation nothing but hopeless explain in a minute how the peace process could. demonstrate this is. another night of heavy policing as

a ruling party and. the crackdown is being for spike stream is plaguing the protest movement. just. do we speak your language or not

a day in. the music programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn it into angles kid stories. are you here. to enjoy the spanish find out more visit actuality t.v. dot com. 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 is authorities bid to stop three weeks long unrest. 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 vehicle. 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 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 in 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 that set off the police the 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 managed to catch up with an unpaid phytic his ruling party chantay killing cheney said police were forced to resort to tougher measures against protesters we have to distinguish here between protesters and troublemakers and members of illegal organizations were trying to create havoc within within the city of stumble and some other cities in turkey. the police has a lawful rights to use. the law given means to them to disperse

over 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 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 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. something the sutra she he took part in the anchor upright says the police target pace will protest this and extremist indiscriminately. protests turn into like a stunning protest so people just go like stand and stare at

a place for like you know a couple of. that's like hell for the hour and hour and then like this is how we try to continue to protest of course there is a fire going on there like you know some people try to use this situation and try to express or do extreme things totally. doesn't differentiate like. citizens just using their democracy democratic rights and the walls that they're trolling the stone. on r.t. dot com right now the world's fastest growing economic giant goes to extremes for a cleaner future china introduces execution for those who dared to break the nation's environmental protection law also online. dot com accuses the u.s. government for what he calls the largest massacre of data in the history of the

internet find out about those stories that are to call. israel's commitment to a two state solution to achieve peace within the palestinians he's in serious recent comments from some senior israeli cabinet members suggest the ruling coalition staunchly opposed to the idea. the country's deputy defense minister danny then on said moves to promote it will be buried in parliament the statement was later echoed by the israeli trade minister enough tali bennett he declared the two state option had hit a dead end and also called for us with the annexation 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 walls of

concrete reports. the walls might be coming down in the rest of the world but here in israel they're going up this one along the country's border with egypt there's a fifty one kilometer one around gaza is one in the pipeline next to jordan and the newest frontier is being fortified along the lebanese and syrian borders and then there is 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. 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 to hold 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. they are 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 selling drugs they come to our house steal from them to. 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 wall besides racism they built it because we are arabs it bothers me

they did not leave us any room and they do not even own the slander. abdullah is one of those who now finds himself on the wrong side of the wall i already made of the jews fear arabs and always build a wall if there are no arabs they don't build a wall that is way does 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 the israelis are more and more getting into the ghetto they still would be there war they are immigrants from africa will be their 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 policy are forty in large city israel. global big business is gathering in some pages but 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 pilbeam is there and joins us live right now on. what is a topping the agenda at the moment. and they always say tax evasion aggressive corporate tax avoidance we know top topics at the g. eight summit earlier on in the way can they filter through right here to send pieces back i've been tapped into. that financial experts investors about this and right now i'm joined by mr weiner bug a mock windbag a c.e.o.

see young fellow give me your lowdown of what was spoken about the g eight what did you take from it won't more rules and regulations and sounds of tax avoidance. ok maybe. it's a complicated issue when you talk about tax because there's three elements there's the legal aspect what to the lobby protection ministration aspect how do they collect taxes and then the political aspect what the communique from the g eight spoke to is they do believe there should be changes in the law to allow governments to be able to better figure out how to collect taxes across the board and that's a joint effort with the o.e.c.d. and that's positive that they're working together because you can't solve it individually on the tax administration side they're talking about much more transparency where companies have to provide more information to governments with regard to where they earn their money so that they can figure out how to collect taxes the political side is still out there that's where governments want to reduce the taxes they are around the world to try to attract business and labor yet meet

their financial goals created by the melt down and raise more to enforce right not least you know it's my next question do you think that there's a real danger the government could be competing with each other in order to put more money into that treasuries into their home nation paul. it's kelley yeah i mean right now there's limited capital is limited growth around the world and so everyone is trying to get a track to capital and create jobs obviously we still have massive unemployment around the world so how they're doing that is reducing the cost of capital by lowering corporate tax rates and that is a competition to attract capital at the same time they all are trying to fill their financial coffers and so they're trying to figure out where they can get that money from other activities outside their jurisdictions and let's talk about here as saying psychotic you guys without mentioning it we know growth has been dismal he'll sell projects in zero point six percent reduction in the crisis in the region unemployment rate sky high it will start to see has it gone wrong well eventually

you have to have balanced budgets because otherwise you're just a for a massive tax increases and bigger problems down the road the speed at which you do it has been called into question and you are seeing governments across the eurozone try to balance now more growth policies with those austerity policies but we're still seeing real trouble in growth in most of europe the united states and north america a little bit faster growth and even more fast growth in the emerging markets in europe the big issue remains massive youth unemployment and whether that will translate into a lost generation longer term problems and i think governments are starting to look at that it's going to have to be dealt with by windbag a c. c. young thank you very much indeed for your time today absolutely plaza i'm going to be haoles a screw loose it into these live coverage from the st peter's back in sanaa snow economic forum right thank you katie. live from some pictures but we're going to continue with on actual fame at the moment more economy math is a coming up from

a washington studio its prime interest next. i know they track approval ratings of the presidents of various countries by did though they still research the approval ratings of former presidents twice like gallup poll that says that george w. bush has been slowly growing in his approval numbers since leaving office in fact his numbers have increased by seventeen percent amongst independents and even his in three rival democratic voters have given him fourteen percentage points of popularity i think this may be due to the fact that obama's magic has worn off and people are getting fed up with things belonging for the bush days is insane if you are one of the people who has recently decided that bush is awesome and please tell me how he differs from obama true obama can pronounce ninety nine percent of the words on the teleprompter in front of him but both presidents have let expensive

wars with questionable objectives bush gave us the patriot act and obama continued it with the n.d.a. both of them seem to like their drones and massive government spending and expansion i don't know i don't think that just because obama's rules flawed that somehow makes bush's brain into some sort of triumph but that's just my opinion. good afternoon and welcome to prime interest and hairy and boring and washington d.c. let's get to today's had by. silicon valley is heating up in the wake of the national security agency whistleblower scandal the american civil liberties union

is now involved in attempting to rein in the n.s.a. the lead snooping but several tech giants are being proactive as well do no evil google is seeking permission from the u.s. to disclose the volume and scope of federal requests. customer information was twitter officially why but facebook won't join the fray asserting the disclosures would be vague and the meaningless and facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg face heat from shareholders yesterday investors angry at the forty percent drop in facebook's i.p.o. price at the goodwill to him for thirty minutes and when asked about the company's accuser profitability the chief financial officer threw his hands up the saying i wish i had a crystal ball. and the subject of government surveillance did come up and reiterated earlier statements that uncle sam doesn't plug into figures about

servers really really promises. and finally the new york fad of published a paper on his website that calls for the us to see the underwater mortgage is under the premise of eminent domain they would then be refinanced with government large debts repackaged and to new security and sold to new investors according to the wall street journal kicker or the author of the paperwork or now a law professor robert pockets once and drew out a paper tag from the very company that first pitched the idea mortgage resolution partner. of course there was no disclosure of this until the wall street journal made a few phone calls nice job or bad. and here is what's in your prime interest.
