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

well news and more live from moscow this is characterized. the u.k. government is campaigning to win hearts and minds in scotland ahead of its historic referendum on independence the foreign secretary william hague has given a speech in edinburgh to persuade the scots there safer stronger and better off with britain as r.t. sarah firth reports he has his work cut out for the u.k. risking the loss of scottish oil assets if the yes vote prevails. 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 there is

within the yes campaign for example have pointed to recent treasury reports in which independent scotland was placed in the same category is iceland cyprus and ireland all of which of course have had economic crises 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 it 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 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 hear of exactly where school fish people a place that it's quite

a divided mix where recent polls show most a third of scots would like to break up with britain with the yes vote support reaching its highest live in the most two years their own sixty percent would still vote no one in ten scots undecided kevin owen spoke to scottish m.p.'s who says he's certain scotland would do without the u.k. . 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 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. you know they're going through a process of the may be 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 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 you keep a relationship a 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 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 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 hell could scotland pay for itself for goodness sakes it's absolute nonsense. while the u.k. has been warning scotland it could suffer financial collapse if it goes it alone british banks appear to be struggling to balance the books they need to raise billions of to cover their risks into a warning from the u.k.'s financial regulator a report on that in just a few minutes. rest continues to rattle

brazil countries authorities have reversed their decision to increase the public transport it. seems to have come too late to appease demonstrators they're angry over the government's high spending on hosting next year's football world cup health care and education remain severely underfunded the rallies are believed to be the most violent in a decade biggest day of protest so far as promised for thursday on. what's now only on west. brasil 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 more to support the cell bhalo where there have been recent by human rights 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 a football tournament in an effort to contain the own going protests in the city of

four to listen at least two people have been injured near a city and were riot police attempted to prevent them from entering the site the demonstrators flint after being tear gassed by the most traitors main grievances thing freezing public transport fees in several brazilian cities and also the extraordinary public but for the two thousand and fourteen world cup a.t.t.'s including cell paulo and rio de janeiro have been forced by the demonstrations to abundant and transport free rice however thousands of people that have been joining the protests have introduced new complaints towards president dilma rousseff government such as what de 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 to day concerns is found. don't forget you can always head to r.t. dot com for more pictures and videos of the protest and the first right into the violent storm which is gathering now i saw just a click away. president obama should hold the force feeding of detainees at guantanamo bay without prisoners to receive independent medical care as required by the u.n. that was a message from an international group of doctors who are concerned of the hunger strike at the facility which is well into its fifth month now and chicken has details. the way in 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 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 one tunnel 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 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 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. well let's not talk to tony crowder who's a lawyer for legal charity in london represents many detainees at guantanamo bay thanks for joining us how naughty today do you think guantanamo officials will ever allow dulces from the outside there actually is a little bit of precedent for this we have seen mental health experts and others in limited cases of litigation or in guantanamo be committed to go down in the south people when certainly hope so because i can tell you all of our hunger strike and i don't see the doctors they tried again and again to raise the medical stuff but on time or of these issues they say i reject the beating i reject an educated why are

you involving yourself. and the military doctors just struck and they say well i just have to follow orders and so so yeah i hope that the military sort of the commander in chief will take the request here and some of these prisoners have already been cleared for release but they're still behind both sounds that i think that the right eighty nine of the hundred sixty six prisoners are cleared for release in the process require all of the u.s. intelligence agencies to be your nemesis that it was think to send them and still they are there i think fundamentally the problem has been one political well barack obama has issued a lot of fine words about his desire to close guantanamo and he's taken a step i hope this is recent speech means that there are going to be a few more steps but there are concrete things that he could do to transfer the cleared men right now that he's not doing and that's really disappointing to them i don't think people are going to eat until they see cleared people leave and they say all transferred as you say i mean wouldn't they just go to some of the secure

or maybe facility i hope not i mean a lot of people are free to help with their families has been transferred from guantanamo if you think shock or robert you've got a british wife and four british children there's no reason you should be on a plane next week to go and be reunited with them and we were happy actually that at the g eight summit this week david cameron personally raised the case of president obama. but the tragedy is it seems to be that level of engagement that's required right we have all of these people who have had to starve themselves for four months going on five months now just to get the world to sit up and pay attention it is a crisis on top of those in the worst crisis and barack obama's presidency right now and i just hope that the administration will start treating. those the u.s. really have a choice besides force feeding prisoners i mean let them starve to death is the worst option isn't it well i know that this is a complicated issue right but the overwhelming weight of international law and just medical ethical opinion the right thing to do is to send independent doctors

like the people who wrote the letter to mrs these people to see if they were front of sound mind in making your brain choice you know the doctor's job is to have a beautiful conversation with someone to try to figure out if they're of a clear mind and give them anything yes and then if somebody deems to be in their right mind then yes it's difficult but the duty of the physician down to find these people have been in prison for nearly twelve years now you know and and it hard as you and i find that to imagine i think the control over whether or not is sort of the last bit of dignity they have left. calling quite attorney from was one of my with detainees thank you for joining us today. just ahead a report on the risks facing the u.k.'s financial health stay with us.

speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the ip interviews intriguing story for you to.

find out more visit our big teeth it's called. the 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 shortly after a report calling for criminal punishment for bankers reckless misconduct auntie's to sawsan it was in london to look at the troubles of a person'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 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 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 puts 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 palace 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 hit a few nerves that once again the question is who is going to be footing the bill at the end of the day. if you missed anything on air you can always catch up on headlines and much more online here's a quick look at what's lined up for you that day hunted by america mega upload like him dot com now reverses roles and accuses the u.s. what he calls the largest massacre of data in the history of the internet and that what's got him up in arms at all to dot com. also online today the world's fastest growing economy goes to extremes for

a cleaner future as china introduces the death penalty to break the nation's environmental protection laws. recent comments from senior israeli cabinet members expressing skepticism over a two state solution prompted angry responses and a stinging president mahmoud abbas accused israel of trying to avoid peace on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu trying to distance himself from the comments but this war of words means little to scores of suffering palestinians whose homes are being blocked off by walls of concrete. experience. 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 was the fact that israel is 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 tiny 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. 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 iow the myth of the much jews fear arabs and always build a wall if there are no arabs they don't build a world at that point 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. 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 ghetto this terror will be their war there are immigrants from africa will build 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. the crandall a crammer of world business are in st petersburg looking for ways to boost economic growth reform the global financial system and strengthen trade or to help him is that the forum where she's been speaking to and but only on at the head of wealth

management and private banking or square bank russian. 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 as the japanese government enforces aggressive stimulus in order to reduce the strength of the yen and that is why the russian ruble could be getting involved as well there's been talk of a saying about devaluing the russian currency so i'm going to get some expert analysis right now from ruben but daniel the co-head of c. i've been spared by callous use of i'll make my bangs face a rebel getting involved in the so-called current evils what's your take on that we're realize it's a much more complicated picture for russia because we are very heavily depend from the expert body for our currency we do related to ces which are now trying to grow and compete against foreigners you know would face some challenges this is why in russia you're not like in japan never saw a sort of meeting in the economy for us will be much more difficult and complicated

just to go do additional rable that used to be complex of the different types of instruments implementations and intensely and suddenly 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 infrastructure it just desperate measures meddling with oil . it's not easy situation for anybody. stimulating economy you always believe it artificial some stimulation and some part of me to like doing mortgage financing cheaper for example or to people would you expect that he will start to buy more flats in the ring of play it will be roy construction is a question that will go grow it will grow trying calling on me but unfortunately is not going to straight forward just by becoming more complicated is why yes you're right we used to use different this woman and they say they don't get instrument for government use just a lot. turkish police have used water cannon to disperse another large protest in

the capital ankara dozens of arrests have been made across the country as authorities try to put an end to the three week long unrest artie's tom barton witnessed the latest crackdown this crossroads in the center of ankara was filled with protesters just a few minutes before it might be hard to believe it now is 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 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 having 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. a new form of peaceful resistance to government action a sonnet standing protest is spreading across turkey van of the clashes are still occurring in major cities for it is defending their efforts to restore order but

gives a try trini who took part in the rallies says police often target peaceful protesters an extremist indiscriminately. now led protests turn into like a stunning protest so people just. stare at the place this is how we try to. protest but last night also some of those people had been attacked police doesn't differentiate like peaceful protesters. citizens just using their democratic rights or people who try to make travel people who try to use this situation and try to do extreme things the police should of course react but only to those people not to the innocent ones. next after a short break it's not a moment to move breaking a sweat. 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 then 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 was flawed that somehow makes bush's brain into some sort of triumph but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food since i had because you know how fabulous. i mean. i. really miss. personally.

at. worst you're going to go lie down for the. radio guy and for a minute. what we're about to give you've never seen anything like this i'm sorry. i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set you know turkey isn't the only place that seeing thousands protesting in recent weeks brazil is also been hosting protests in several cities around the country including its capital sao paulo most of the protests have been peaceful but a few like last weeks have turned violent hundred people were injured tear gas and rubber bullets and a hundred twenty were arrested after clashes with police demonstrations began after the government announced a hike in public transportation rates but of then grown into a greater call change brazil's government brazilians have been questioning the government's priorities when it comes to taxes and spending the country hosting the

world cup next year many people have seen their tax dollars wasted preparation for the event meanwhile the people argue that they aren't seeing any improvements and results education health care and public transportation problems and in response president dilma rousseff has said quote the voices of the streets must be heard and that she's committed to social transformation but other government officials seem more interested in squashing the dissent and they're lacking a unified message opposition to protesters is also present in the media there just check out this clip from one brazilian newscast where they're taking a poll from viewers real time of whether or not they support the uprising. the welfare of dissent is that what you do if one of this bill. would do c.g. put it best. you could well do so with doug let's just be because. it wasn't that funny as hard as that newscasters trying to weigh the poll against a demonstration.
