don't break up with britain the charm offensive to keep scotland part of the u.k. is on foreign secretary hague preparing a keynote speech to the scots of their independence referendum. the test is in brazil gear up for what they promise will be their biggest rally yet after the government fails to curb beyond by reversing public transport fare hikes . and the force feeding of hunger strikers are going to doctors from around the globe call on president obama told down the prison this independent medical care.

broadcasting live from moscow twenty four seven this is r.t. on character. the government in the u.k. is campaigning to win hearts and minds in scotland ahead of its historic referendum on independence foreign secretary william hague is about to give a speech in edinburgh to persuade the scots they're safer stronger and better off with britain as r.t. sarah firth reports he has his work cut out the u.k. risking the loss of scottish oil assets if the us prevails. 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 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 have 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 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 is quite hard to get a gauge when you'll hear of exactly where the school says people are placed it's quite a divided mix and you talked 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 go. to hit that point really hammered home that the u.k. stronger together and it will be telling scotland that it will also be a safer scotland but of course it's within the s.n.p. this is in the yes campaign thing this the everything to play for a recent polls show almost a third of scots would like to break up with britain with the yes vote support reaching its highest level in almost two years their own sixty percent would still vote no with one in ten scots undecided and my colleague kevin irwin spoke to

scottish new earlier who says he's certain scotland would cope well without the u k . london should be well practiced in this the empire is gone the colonies have gone about fifty nations have become independent of london london's an old hundred s. and ireland 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 one how you going to fund yourself is the. balance the books the u.k. government releases like 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 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 pay when 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 scaremongering story such as hell could scotland pay for itself for goodness sakes it's absolute nonsense. while the u.k. has been warning scotland they could suffer financial collapse if it goes in british banks to be struggling to balance the books. and raise billions of pounds to cover their risks according to a warning from the u.k.'s financial regulator a report on that in just a few minutes. rest continues to rattle brazil other countries authorities have reversed their decision to increase public transport face for the u.-turn seems to come too late is demonstrators rangar of

those doctors are ordered to follow the orders they receive or alter your orders as their commander in chief without trust safe and acceptable medical care of mentally competent patients is impossible for the above mentioned protocols describe 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. well the situation in guantanamo is causing some in washington to reconsider their approach senate intelligence committee head feinstein expressed her opposition to the force heating up procedures saying the policy is in conflict with international norms and a federal appeals judge wants to see the detainees legal cases handled differently saying that prisoners should be able to challenge their detention in court on a number of those being force fed in guantanamo has meanwhile grown rapidly over the past several months prison officials said that eleven of the thirty seven on the strikers received nutrition through nos tubes and that was back in march when that number nearly doubled the following month with april also seeing the first cases of prisoners being hospitalized people join the hunger strike in may and human rights groups called for a whole to to the force feeding and right now there are one hundred four prisoners

on hunger strike nearly one half of them are on nutrition or terry cooper is a human rights watch consultant and the forensic psychiatry c told us about the long term traumatic effects that force feeding procedures have on prisoners the force feeding is an entirely toxic situation where the individuals chided 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 their being in voluntarily medicated with medications that have very dangerous side effects all of these become traumatic memories as does placement in a restraint chair of the forcing of the two down their throat and this stand becomes lasting memories that cannot be integrated into their personality and it causes ongoing symptoms even if there are to be released the prisoners you know that the doctors are acting in a cruel and actually in

a way that constitutes torture those doctors should not be participating in the force feeding and when they do so it's a gross violation of. well in a moment we'll tell you why british banks need billions of pounds to stay afloat and also reporting on rest in peace. or peaceful protests in spite of people across the country but activists say the police all treating them the same as in this writing home movement. is a following the big business gathering which is now in full swing in st petersburg all reports on that is just an. old. technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. you know sometimes you see

this twenty seven billion pounds that's about forty two billion u.s. dollars that banks need to find to fill in that gaping hole is what financial regulators had found the basing it on the new guidelines that was agreed upon by international central banks after the two thousand and eight financial crisis if we remember we saw then the collapse of some of the world's biggest financial institutions some of the media bailouts taxpayers' money getting involved there and in this report we know that the guideline says that now two percent previously two percent of the equity that banks should have has been raised to seven percent thereby creating this hole in the balance sheets of what concerns financial regulators most right now is the world like a scot with r.b.s. having a thirteen point six billion pound a hole to plug and let's not forget r.b.s. is already eighty one percent old by the government after having received a bailout so this is certainly a sensitive topic when it comes to the bank banking or performance and how they

actually manage their finances and this is again on the back of that report coming from an independent commission set up to investigate behavior of reckless behavior as you pointed out called changing the banking of for good at this if it is passed into law could mean that some baxter's bankers are accused of reckless behavior could be sent to jail it also questions puts accountability of governments and regulators to implement these laws so as not to render all of them but useless when trying to find a twenty seven billion a palace the question there is will the measures that the banks have already put forward r.b.s. and barclays saying they're confident there will be will be able to plug this hole will those measures be enough or will there be a need to go again to external funding and once taxpayers' money gets involved it will certainly a few hit a few nerves that once again the question is who is going to be footing the bill at the end of the day. other news making headlines around the. world this hour
