don't break up with britain the charm offensive to keep scotland part of the u.k. is on the foreign secretary hague preparing a keynote speech to the scots out of their independence referendum. testers in brazil garo what they promise will be their biggest rally yet of the government fails to by reversing public transport hikes. and stop the force feeding of hunger strikers in guantanamo doctors for around the globe calling on president obama to allow the prisoners independent medical care.

around the world around the clock you're watching on. the u.k. a government is campaigning to win hearts and minds in scotland ahead of its historic friend them on independence foreign secretary william hague is about to give a speech in edinburgh to persuade the scots this stronger i'm better off with britain this r.t. sarah firth reports he has his work cut out in the u.k. risking the loss of scottish oil assets if the yes vote 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 the 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 they 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 school and 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 school says people a place that it's quite a divided mix when you talk to people on the streets there today when that speech happens we'll be bringing you all the latest from that's and it's thought we go. to hit that point really hammered home that the u.k. stronger together and it's the hague will be telling scotland that it will also be safe for scotland but of course they did in the s.n.p. this it in the yes campaign saying this the everything to play for the recent polls almost a third of scots would like to break up with britain for the yes vote support reaching its highest level in almost two years their own sixty percent would still vote no one in ten scots undecided my colleague kevin owner spoke to a scottish n.p.r.

new earlier who says he's certain scotland would cope well with 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 hand at 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 in the maybe 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 that 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 pay when we are but incidentally we also believe anyone 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 and scaremongering stories such as hell could scotland pay for itself for goodness sakes just absolute nonsense. involving the u.k.'s been warning scotland they could suffer a financial collapse if it goes back in british banks struggling to balance the books. raising millions of pounds to cover their risks according to a warning from the u.k.'s financial regulator we report on that in just a few minutes. as unrest continues to rattle brazil the country's authorities have reversed their decision to increase public transport fast but a u. turn seems to come too late to these demonstrators i'm going over the government's

high spending on hosting next year's football world cup health care and. remains underfunded rallies are believed to be the most violent in a decade but the biggest day of protest so far is promised thursday teasing that you know. the honest. press in this is still under pressure due to their unprecedented public protests which have been taking place all over the country for the past ten days conflicts hard to sport itself bhalo word there have been recent violent riots i think 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 on going protests in the city of at 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 were 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 says 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.

that forget you can always ahead to r.t. dot com for more pictures and videos of the protest from the first rally to the violent storm which is gathering now that saw just a click away. president obama should hold the force feeding of detainees at guantanamo bay and the prisoners to see if independent medical care as required by the u.n. was a message from an international group of doctors who are concerned over the hunger strike at the facility which is well into its fifth month now and has details. way in the world medical association demand access for independent doctors to guantanamo detainees more than one hundred fifty doctors including from the u.s. have signed an open letter to grok obama urging him to allow guantanamo 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 ultimately your orders as their commander in chief without trust safe and acceptable medical care of mentally competent patients is impossible 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 ton of the 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. a situation in gone tyros causing some in washington to reconsider their approach senate intelligence committee head feinstein expressed her opposition to the force feeding procedures saying the police policy conflicts 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 the 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 hundred strikers received nutrition through nose cheap back in march that number nearly doubled the following month april also seeing the first cases of prisoners in hospitalized where more people join the hunger strike in may as human rights groups call for a halt to the force feeding and right now there are one hundred four prisoners on

hunger strike who go and the early half of them are on nutrition cubes. well one of the men he signed that is going town and there to two of president obama is dr david mccoy and academic at university of london let's get his thoughts on the issue now thanks for joining us here on r.t. today why is there a need for medical personnel from the outside they are doctors they are trained medics out there where there are. operating and quote i know very well so those. are really operating on the instruction of military so now and conducting procedure is really unlawful by international law. as you state for speeding or chosen to undertake a hunger strike has been determined by. george bush's iraq thinks council itself as

a form of torture itself. so what we're asking for is independent external doctors from the outside able to assess the condition of these hunger strikers and how she work hand in hand with the medical personnel in quantum them up to arrive at a more appropriate set of procedures and actions well that's what you're asking for but realistically when you get what you want. i don't know i mean i think if we can apply as much external pressure on the u.s. administration as possible i think i think. we could succeed in opening up and i would bury two independent medical assessments and so i'm hoping that president obama will heed our letter and make this make this request. and if that did happen do you think it would help to put an end to the hunger strike. it might do but you know as as you stated this hunger strike is being undertaken by

many of the business. with thought and consideration it's been expressed as openly and as i'm out there the only real means of protest at what is really an illegal for attention. of themselves and so it may help to end the youngest strike but ultimately what we need is an end to the illegal detention of these prisoners in guantanamo bay without recourse to a photo judicial process. and from a medical standpoint then what are the consequences of physically of this kind of force feeding action both in the short and long term on those prisoners. well it's a form of cruel treatment in a way it's not to be a deep hasn't and procedures. but it.

denies the. will of these prisoners to undertake an action that they considered to be necessary for themselves. the force feeding itself will probably keep these prisoners in a state oh poor health over a long period of time. and there's nothing really to address the fundamental underlying issue the problems of this illegal tension and without her judicial process and if they are released would they ever be able to reintegrate into society given what they've been through very briefly i mean the issues not about their release right now it's really about providing them with recourse to judicial process. so that's all that these prisoners i really i really requesting up to my about should i throw judicial process declare that they should be released and that would follow on from there ok i thought today mcquay from the university of london

thanks very much for joining us here today on our ten. after a break we'll tell you why british banks need billions of pounds to stay afloat also. join make a few live coverage on the same pieces by international economic forum i'll have exclusive interviews from some of the world's biggest players in the financial well .

speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the r.p. interviews intriguing story to tell you. the arabic to find out more visit our big. dog called. u.k.'s financial health is at risk with its top banks in need of billions of pounds to fill a hole in that balance sheets revelation by the country's financial regulator come

shortly after reports according to a criminal punishment for bank reckless misconduct all to ease a test series in london to look at the troubles of britain's banking sector. 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 this report that we know that the guideline says that now two percent previously two percent of the uk 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 that are accused of reckless behavior could be sent to jail it also questions put accountability of governments and regulators to implement these laws so as not to render all of them but useless and trying to find a twenty seven billion a pal's the question there is will the measures that the banks have already put forward r.b.s. and barclays saying they're confident they 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 have a few nerves that once again the question is who is going to be footing the bill at the end of the day. it's something you can always. catch up on our headlines and much more online is a quick look at what's on tap you that day. hunted by america mega upload founder kim dotcom now reverses roles in accuses the u.s. government for what he calls the largest massacre of data in the history of the internet and i want to go to him up in arms. also there today the world's fastest growing economy goes to extremists future as china introduces the death penalty. to break the nation's environmental protection the rules. of world business are in st petersburg looking for ways to boost economic growth reform the global financial system and strengthen trade katie pilbeam is that the economic for talking to its participants she joins us live now katie thousands of

business leaders from around the world what's on top of the agenda. yes also people hey carrie i can tell you one of the topics on the agenda is the so-called currency war as we know it kicks off at the beginning of this year is the japanese government in force is aggressive stimulus in order to reduce the strength of the yen and the russian ruble could be getting involved as well there's been talk us surfacing about devaluing the russian currency so i'm going to get some expert analysis right now from ruben but danielle the co-head of c. ip spevak hello to you somehow make my being the face of rebel getting involved in the so-called current events what's your take on that you heard a discussion that today was days to discuss with mr gravel the rating. for mr economy develop on the car and mr ricardo up and. former head of the that we have said the bank was talking about the cars and we're realizing it's

a much more complicated picture for russia because we are very heavily dependent from the expert body where our currency would be related to ces which could now trying to grow and compete against foreigners and would face some challenges this is why in russia you're not like in japan and i saw it for the meeting in this economy for us will be much more difficult and complicated just to go in there with a shorter building used to be complex all of the different types of instruments implementations of intensely and certainly there must be although why use two to base not just the russian domestic economy but the global one as well you know creating jobs and infrastructure it just desperate measures meddling with oil. it's not easy sedation for anybody. stimulating economy you always need to be able because if you show some stimulation and some part of me still like being in mortgage financing cheaper for example or to people would you expect that people start to buy more flats in the ring or flats will be royal construction is

a concessions that will go grow it will grow a giant con on me. but are fortunately still going to straightforwardness why becoming more complicated is why yes you're right we used to use different just for men and they say they dangerous instrument for government use just in the law but we are the choices we used to keep monitoring policy quite strong three otherwise we have other challenges also great in your life how you pleasurable russia will be also very dangerous in the constitution are. a moment to the mat carter says i wanted to mention the big calling for a quick play and it's a reaction to the central bank do you think people reacting by going towards virtual cards is this if the few account say i'm not i'm not sure the future of the currency but definitely people so concerned about what's going on but they're trying to make do as you cation over all the people they have is why they're going in different directions that should not be surprised that people buying land in the

moon also i heard they give people trying to find different types of the new instruments which i'm sure will be found because of the demands of reality putting all of us in a new reality which will be change stories of changes in the economy in the world wide and in russia but i will say continuing to maim tyrus over time surgery using today right stick with all coins that you sound like like a ribbon vidanta and thank you for a much indeed had a spare bike three i bet i'll be back a bit later kerry more exclusive entities from the st petersburg international economic forum and david look forward to that case thanks very much again. recent comments from senior israeli cabinet members expressing skepticism over a two state solution and prompted angry responses palestinian president mahmoud abbas accused israel of trying to avoid pace israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu trying to distance himself from the comments this war of words means that

all to schools of suffering palestinians whose homes are being blocked off by walls of think concrete on t.v. supports new 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 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 in the society 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. they're 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 serving 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 you know 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 loom 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 jews fear arabs and always build a wall but if there are no arabs they don't build a wall that 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. virtual wars and real wars the feeling is that it's. more and more getting into the ghetto there is still will be there war there are immigrants from africa will be there war every single be sold by building a war and above all the words against us let's build

a wall 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. more economic matters from our washington studio next it's prime interest coming up after a short break. 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 a 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.

that afternoon in a welcome to prime and i'm perry and boring in washington b. thing and here's the headline to them following today. well it's bad day after six weeks of job opening. last announcement in scaring risk markets into a correction breaking speeds we've been seeing much recent price inflation and unemployment data still have not reached target and it caters to begin with fed might reduce its bond buying purchases 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 of the charges led by new york department of financial services which is offering under an obscure state.
