might achieve a consensus that will move the country forward. they'll bell -- be talking about amnesty, rescinding anti-protest laws which was passed through parliament, and is widely seen as draconian, permitting the defamation of public officials, people have been driving in convoys, and losing licences driving in convoys of more than five cars. that has to go. the opposition is rejecting an attempt to coopt it with the city. one of the opposition leaders refused to take on the post of prime minister to join forces with the president. they want to have the gaoled opposition leader freed and the ukraine to go back on to the path to get closer. a bunch of things are being

decided. >> the opposition has rejected some of the concessions that the president put forward. despite the parliamentary session going on in parliament later today, we are looking at live picture showing that the rallies continue. >> look, it's judgment day for the government and the parliamentary opposition. it's not sure that they are in charm of the people power protesters. the the mind-set of the leaders, speaking in independence swar. telling the people as if they spected them to follow them, what the president would say, and now they sound like school boys handing in their homework when they talk to the people. it's obvious that the people in charge, in their occupations of more than 10 regional administrative buildings, the

big square, two government ministries and city hall. it would be give. the opposition in parliament needs to make sure that it is not poorly judged by the people who have been demonstrating with the ukraine for nine weeks. >> thank you. speak to you later. nick spicer reporting from kiev. >> the anti-government protests in ukraine turned deadly. three were killed last week, two shot by police. opposition leaders say dozens of people have gone missing. sue turton looks at a campaign of intimidation. >> this was the leader of the biggest protest group, until he went missing after weeks of threatening calls and attacks on his business.

>> he was getting calls and text messages that threatened his life if he continued his political activities. his business was paralyzed because of inspections and his bank accounts frozen. >> the security services tells a lawyer they knew nothing about his disappearance, and any investigation would take weeks. this intimidation isn't just against the protest leaders. a makeshift hospital close to the frontline was smashed by the police and medical workers are being intimidated. this medical student, afraid to give her full name, was stopped by police as she headed home. they saw her past and immediately detained her. taking her out into a forest. what came next was worse. >> translation: that night my father was brutally beaten.

his condition was critical. they left a note saying, "your daughter talks to the media too much." her father was punished after she told local journalists about her detainment. >> sasha is not the only protestor detained by the police. in what is beginning to look like a campaign of intimidation by police, by sending text messages and attacking their families. it may not be clubbing people on the front line. but it's just as threatening. president viktor yanukovych may put on a conciliatory face in talks with opposition leaders. there's an undercounter, an attempt to fracture the protest movement by picking off one protestor at a time. >> two men accused of some of the worst atrocities are in

a highly critical statement of the japanese revision. >> that's right. redictable fury to the decision by the japanese education ministry and government to make the change in teaching manuals that give teaching points to teachers in middle schools and high schools. the south koreans call for the japanese government to rescind this immediately. they say that they are driving their young people into a pit of false history, and in a public show of anger they pull in the ambassador of japan in south korea into the foreign ministry after he had to come through a small group of protesters, and the deputy foreign minister gave them a public dressing down. >> through the speech at the japanese national assembly over docto. following this the japanese

education minister including claims in middle and high school textbooks. the government relays have strict conditions rahhing this. the government promised to take actions if japan doesn't rescind the policy. >> that was the question a number of journalists spoke about. on three separate occasions he told them to wash and learn. in 2008 japan made mention in the education literature. they withdrew and it's an option on the table. it deepens the gulf on the countries. it's a time when the united states want the to allies in north korea, north-east asia to
