was the scene of the fiercest fighting on thursday and confirmed at least 75 people were killed. and earlier today there were reports that a number of police have defected to the opposition and have joined the protest movement. earlier a group of officers who had been captured by the protesters on thursday were released and surrounded by an angry crowd led to the protester's camp and sought safety in a nearby cathedral and let's bring in al jazeera andrew simmons who is in kiev, a fast, developing story, andrew and tell us about the talk of a potential deal, what do we know about it? >> well, the details haven't been given, but we are expecting in the next few minutes the assembly of the foreign ministers from germany and france and poland with the russian ambassador and

yanukovich himself to sign a deal which will put in place a settlement. now, what the contents of that are are not clear. there have been various leaks from publications, suggesting that this will be a lessening of the powers of the president, which was a key demand of the protesters and the formation of a new coalition government within the matter of ten days and then following on from that constitutional reform which would end up with a presidential elections taking place by december. now, whether that is going to be enough to i'm kate the thousands of people who have been protesting for three months after such violence is unclear. this is another moment, wobbly moment and crucial moment in this process. >> reporter: it sure does sound like it andrew but we understand that parliament is in session right now.

what is going on there, what are they discussing? >> dramatic scenes in parliament. basically they got together this morning and they announced first of all silence for all the dead. that took place and then the speaker of the house announced that he had signed off on a new law which would ban the president from allowing his security forces to use live ammunition along with another series of measures basically denouncing all of his moves so he was losing power over the last 24 hours and following on from that, the police had entered the building and armed police had entered parliament and opposition demanded that these police were removed from the building. that took place and then scuffles broke out because the party of regions, the yanukovich party, those mps wanted to go

into recess instead of talking about constitutional reform and opposition member trying to amount the speaker's election at one point. so really, really unruly scenes. so against this back drop and the people here demanding that yanukovich stand down and they are saying time and time again they want him removed, that there is fury here. >> reporter: andrew and you asked yourself a few moments ago whether talk of a deal would talk about the protesters standing behind you, has it changed the mood of thursday and we know 75 people have been confirmed dead? >> a major switch in mood but very mixed emotions really, having walked through the square a few hours ago compared to 24 hours prior to that when it was an absolute battlefield with people dying all over the place, now there was a mood as i walk

through, one of reflection and a somber mood with prayers but also in various places a real hope they made a breakthrough and these deaths were not for nothing but really with this crisis it ebbs and flows and swerves in so many directions no one can be sure right now that we are in to a positive mode. and there is an amazing amount of tension here but yes a change of mood. >> andrew we will speak to you later on, for the time being andrew is reporting from kiev and thank you. well, the government in venezuela is under pressure with protests across the country entering a 10th day and it began in the states when a peaceful demonstration descended into violence. on friday the government sent troopers to the region to tackle the unrest and the state capitol say essential services to the city have been cut and they say the government insighted

violence there and demonstrations have spread to the national capitol carcaus and the situation has eased but the government has launched a media crack down and cutoff the internet to one city and blocked an app that turns smartphones to walkie-talkies and he threatened to kick out the news station cnn. >> translator: i asked the communication minister to notify cnn we started the administrative process to remove them from venezuela if they do not rectify the story and stop with the war propaganda, i do not accept war propaganda. >> reporter: eric is vice president of the council of the americas and he says that this discontentment in venezuela has been building for sometime. >> it started with the material shortages from toilet paper to basic food staples and all kinds

of things people need to live on and on more complicated things like healthcare, but it also has been because of a deep frustration of the inability of the government to get common crime under control and the safety of the streets in cacacus and elsewhere and this is a primal screen if you will of the people of venezuela that has been building for sometime and it started peacefully about a week ago and escalated from there with a reaction by the government. the truth of the matter is the frustrations in some way have existed for a long time, but i think there is a certain element of real concern that this time might be a little bit different. it's not just the so-called people who are the wealthiest of venezuela but it's the students out in the streets, people who have traditionally at least been somewhat willing to not be so vocal in their criticism of the government.

so some things changed and i think the madora government has seen that. it's also interesting that lopez has emerged as a real leader of the movement. he really had not been before and i think the government is pointing to that as well. >> zimbabwai is the oldest leader and one of the longest serving presidents on the continent and the leader since they gained independence from britain 34 years ago and some are celebrating the event, others are frustrated with how long he has been in power and we have a former member of the party. >> i think it's quite clear that he enjoys the ceremony of state president and commander-in-chief. problems that the people of zimbabwai confronting today they go back 20 years with no prospect of being solved and now

he is 90 plus. >> reporter: as the birthday events unfold they are questioning his economic legacy, his land reform program has seen forms being forcibly seized from whites and given to blacks and some farmers returned to tobacco production. >> they are growing tobacco instead of staples and there are 80,000 growers and he has grown tobacco for over 20 years. >> it did not make sense to grow maize and it was cheaper to buy maize after selling the tobacco and in the maize production it was to diversify into local production. >> reporter: this year's tobacco selling season has

started and most people here are small-scale farmers and sometimes can get $5 a kilogram and there is a land reform program and a policy that took commercial farmers from whites and gave them to the land of blacks. and some are doing well but the economy is struggling and most people are not. the government imports foods because the farmers are not growing enough. >> reporter: it used to be called the bread basket of africa now the u.n. said 2 million people need food and there are still farms lying idle and the infrastructure now in ruin. >> they worked in tiny pockets and tabacco is a success but limited and they are self-employed individuals and not employers. if they are lucky they can meet the costs of rearing a family but most of them are not making

that much money and being kept in the business only just by tobacco prices that allow them to be back next year but they will never become relatively well off people growing tobacco on the streets. >> reporter: and many of those who now have land say they are confident the country will one day return to the glory days when it could feed its on people but for now it could be a pipe dream. i'm with al jazeera. >> reporter: here are the al jazeera news hour and still to come is nigeria missing billions in oil revenue, the governor of the bank is suspended for speaking out. plus we have an exclusive report from afghanistan and giving us insight into the taliban perspective and canada celebrates a great lake olympic come back against the united states and we will be here with that story a little later. ♪

al jazeera has gained exclusive access to taliban fighters in afghanistan's logar providence and the reporter was embedded with a group of self proclaimed taliban fighters as they attacked an afghan garison and it's a rare sight in the security challenge facing afghanistan when forces scaled back earlier this year and we will talk to him in a couple of minutes but first let's watch an extract from his exclusive report. >> i'm taking to meet two of their commanders. it's obvious they are planning something big. then they get the signal.

the fact that there will be suicide bombers is a surprise. they had not told me about that before. and then suddenly the fighting begins. the taliban's heavy machine guns are ready. [gunfire]

these taliban have little or no formal military training. and ana fight back. [gunfire] things are not going to plan. their machine gun still isn't working. they leave the gunner to fix it while they go to support their attack from another side. to allow the rest of the taliban to enter the base, three suicide bombers have been sent to blowup

the main gate. but they have to first award heavy fire coming from inside. there are 200 meters of open ground between the ball and the base. [gunfire] the taliban had hoped this would be a victory but it's becoming clear that they are facing far greater resistance than they had expected. the suicide bombers have failed

to get close to the gate and they are told to pull back. the heavy machine gunners have finally fixed their weapon. [gunfire] but it's too late. the resistance from soldiers inside the base has been too strong. [gunfire] angry at losing two of its men the commander orders me to stop filming. >> reporter: and let's bring him in now who filmed the report for the al jazeera fault lines and joining us from copenhagen and it's interesting because you often hear of reporters embedding with the afghan army or the u.s. army in countries like afghanistan, very rarely are they with self proclaimed

taliban and what made you want to do that? >> i think the question answers itself and we have so in reports from ana forces and western forces and it's extremely important to understand what's happening on the other side. it's extremely important to understand why these insurgents keep fighting and what kind of people they are and what their ambitions are so it's an important piece of the puzzle about the war in afghanistan. >> reporter: can you tell us how you managed to gain that access? >> i used tribal connections and i have contacts in afghanistan who are tribally affiliated with some of the taliban in logar and it's important there is confidence when you get this access because the insurgents are extremely paranoid about journalists being spies and

spying on them and that is also the pretext they use when they kidnap journalists for example. so you really have to be sure about the sources that you are using and they also have to be sure about you and at the same time you know even though you have taken all precautions i experienced it once in helem and took precautions i could take and kidnapped anyway and it's also a bet to do it. >> reporter: and we understand that you also got the chance to talk to the taliban fighters about other parts of their life besides the fighting that we saw on that first clip and let's just take another clip from your film.

what is your personal take on that particular conversation showing that the fighters there with the taliban have other parts in their life and they have to work and also let me ask you were you ban from filming anything at all? >> actually, not, i was quite surprised because they only told me once not to film and it was during the battle because they lost some men and one of the commanders was upset like we saw in the earlier clip and besides that actually i was quite free to film and i filmed other things too which will show a lot of things about the specific society in the area too. so it was actually surprisingly very easy to film in the area.

and regarding the things that he is talking about, i'm taking him only his words, specifically him and the people that i was with at this time. they told me that talibans from the other side of the border and pakistan came and fought every spring, from spring until fall and sometimes also foreigners from other countries but i was there doing winter and i didn't see anybody from the other side of the border. and the insurgents in this area specifically at the time i was there it seemed like they were locally based because when i took a walk with them through the streets it's like how are you cousin and uncle and saying hi to people and people recognized them and i could see they had relatives in the area. >> reporter: thank you for talking to us and he has done an exclusive report for the program's fault lines on al jazeera. and you can, in fact, watch

fault lines right here on the channel and that will happen at 1630 gmt on friday, 1630 gmt right here on al jazeera. let's get a weather update now and steph is here to tell us about some developments out of new zeeland. >> that is right and looking about what is going on in new zeeland because it has been humid and it is causing some problems like this, a thick blanket of clouds that has caused problems for flights and made things pretty messy on the roads as well. things are now changing because we have more cloud that is gradually working its way up the south island and we are seeing an increase in winds and rain as well and it will help to wash away the humid weather and things definitely changing there as we head through the next couple of days and maybe not necessarily for the better because where we did not have the fog and where the fog cleared it was a beautiful day

but we will have clouds, rain and stronger winds as well. talking of rain we had quite a bit of that over in australia as well and here it has been very welcome and you can see the our of cloud here and that is over the worst part of the drought we have in queen land and the rain is welcome indeed. over the past 24 hours places are reporting over 260 millimeters of rain. clearly that amount of rain in such a short period of time have given us some problems and seen lots of water on the ground there but fortunately no major flooding situations and there will be a few more hours as well over the next few days. >> and we are continuing with the weather theme and severe drought in kenya left 1.3 million people in urgent need of food and conditions are so bad that 30,000 people fled to neighboring countries and kenya has been the hardest hit. >> it's been a long day for

these women and they were up before dawn looking for wild berrys to feed their families here in northwestern kenya. by the time they get back home, tired and hungry, it's late afternoon, the berrys have collected are bitter and poisonous and little nutrition and have to be boiled five hours and this is what i have to eat even if i finish cooking at midnight. >> reporter: at least 3,000 people here are on the verge of starvation. >> we are estimating that people in need of support 1.5 million people. out of these million already and one or other drought intervention program and 500,000 of those now when we provide the food. >> reporter: this is a land of

contradictions. it's one of the most resource rich in kenya and has oil and now under ground to last the entire country 60 years and the people are some of the hungryist. the government has relief made but the people here say that maize is not enough and the center has about 400 vulnerable people and the bags of maize brought here were not enough for all of them. so you can see behind me they are trying to collect what has remained on the grounds. opening up to kenya is a challenge. the people are scattered on the terrain in an area the size of the chek republic. >> we are looking for pasture and water. >> reporter: without food and water, the children like many others here would stop coming to

school. and this class has not had porridge and normally there are 40 children and today only ten showed up and this is northwest kenya. >> reporter: the central bank governor of nigeria is hitting back after being removed from office and he was suspended after making comments that $20 billion million had gone missing and he will go to court to challenge the move and gerald reports. >> reporter: out of a job, nigeria central bank governor is suspended for what the presidential office calls financial recklessness and misconduct, but he says he is not going without a fight. >> the government appointed by both the president and the senate and there for should be removed by both. so for me i think we should challenge it. i think it should be challenged

so that governments coming after me will not refuse to act or will not refuse to be independent for fear that they will be suspended. >> reporter: he has been at laggerheads for missing money at a state-run company and they deny any wrongdoing and an audit into subsidy payments is underway. but how the president jonathan has chosen to deal with a whistleblower and increasing criticism of his administration doesn't sit well with many in the country. there is corruption and the president has not taken this with respect to days and corruptions and many times are officials of the government. >> reporter: nigeria is one of the world's largest oil producers and count for 80% of revenue and as little as 1% of

nigerians benefit from the wealth and he is a reformist who has taken on major corporations in the past. this time it seems the probe into the corrupt oil sector hit too close to home. i'm gerald with al jazeera. >> reporter: still to come on the al jazeera news hour under heavy guardian behind closed doors and not guilty in cairo to free the staff enters day 55 and fighting in the central african republic as they call for the peace keeping force. >> reporter: the man who had the finale in history had his hands back on the trophy and i will explain why. ♪ ♪

♪ the top stories on the al jazeera news hour, agreement on resolving the crisis in ukraine has been reached according to viktor yanukovych but the french foreign minister urged caution saying opposition needs more time to assess the deal. and there are reports that a number of police defected and joining the protests. the venezuela opposition lopez has been formally charged with insighting violence at the antigovernment protests and six people have died in more than a week. and zimbabwai is celebrating a birthday and one of the oldest leader and the longer serving

president in the continent. and the top story is the unfolding crisis in ukraine and remmy is an assistant professor of international affairs at katar and we are hearing reports of a possible deal that has been reached in the ukraine and what do you know about it? >> it has caution and in the deal is the idea there would be elections potentially in december 2014, new constitution might be drafted that would be more accounting to the lines of the 2004 constitution that gave power to parliament and to the president but the big question is to see the opposition and people on independent square today will accept a deal. so far they did not strike a deal because president yanukovich will remain in power and want yanukovich to step down. >> these are live pictures from kiev and you can see and let's

see the opposition leaders accept a deal and no reports of that yet but if they do can they persuade demonstrates and how much control do they have on them? >> they have been calling for a more let's say compromise here on the situation. they have been active since the beginning of events and the big question is dealing with the violation coalition and government in the next ten days but it's still very open in the air and i have to see what kind of coalition government it's going to be and not the first time seeing back and forth to try to have more compromise and try to strike some deals with opposition. yet in the past every time yanukovich has come back on his words so even right now the parliament was supposed to be talking about the deal itself and went to recess. the policeman was inside and outside of the parliament so we have to be very cautious about this. >> reporter: it's worth noting and reminding our viewers that

this all started back in november a couple months ago when president yanukovich rejected a bid with the european union and let's talk about the geo politics and russia and ukraine and what is at stake for both here? >> it's essential to russia's interest and the other is poland and they are trying to put together of the union which is a gathering of central asia and central europe with russia and they cannot lose face on the ukrainian situation and to have large-scale conflict and stability in the country. >> reporter: it's worth noting that many people pointing the finger at russia saying that russia was behind the rejection of the deal by president yanukovich. >> russia does not look favorly

of ukraine with the european union and the way it's portrayed in russia today and i was on the phone with russia yesterday is looking at the conflict as a crisis of 1992. and looking at the european union stepping in, the western interest may be stepping in inside the traditional sphere of russia. the way it has been portrayed in europe is like the remaining conflict in 1989 who we have different versions here and it has been talked over since november so both public opinions are seeing the conflict very differently today. >> reporter: thank you for the time being and he is joining us here in doha. well according cairo has arranged the trial of three al jazeera journalists until the 5th of march. mohamed and peter greste and fahmy are in prison 55 days and accused of being with a terrorist organization and plead not guilty to all

view the trial is politicized. >> this is prepared for an outcome we don't want. >> reporter: to journalists shouted from the defendant's cage they have been subject to, quote, psychologically unbearable conditions since their arrest december 29 and said they got only one hour of exercise a day and no access to reading material. the case has raised protests from journalists rounds the world that warn egypt is one of the world east oppressive countries for independent reporting. >> i think by not registering as forcefully as possible that this is not accessible, people think it's a perfectly fine way to proceed and not only egypt but other governments following suit. >> reporter: prosecution witness also be heard and the evidence considered at the next hearing scheduled for early next month and i'm tom ackerman al

jazeera. >> one of the key issues in the egypt court case is freedom of the press, it's a big issue in yemen as well and journalists are increasingly coming under attack and there have been physical attacks as well as routine interfere ends in their way, in the way they do their jobs. mohamed reports from the yemen capitol. >> reporter: mohamed is a young journalist who nearly lost his life last november. his car was blown up just as he got into it and the wounds took months to heal and he had to have several operations and his case highlights the plight of journalists speaking truth to power in yemen. >> translator: truth has a price and i saw how much innocent blood was spilled for trivial reasons and journalists will pay a price as well as being tried but frankly i was shocked by what happened to me. >> reporter: and he went on trial and in prison several times during the rule of the

former president. he continues to criticize what he calls the unfinished job of the revolution as he believes it is in yemen and mohamed is not the only case here. he also spoke his mind and a gunman attacked him last april and failed to kill him but he lost his leg. this is another journalist who was abducted by groups that didn't like his views. local activists are up to 700 cases of violence against journalists in the last two years. those frequent violations have made them make this center and showing them how to do their job professional and more importantly how to do it safely. >> translator: many of our young journalists fail to seek only the truth. instead they serve tribal entities seeking to promote

individual interests. >> reporter: they believes that the safety can be enhanced if they learn to be more professional and avoid provocation. a view shared by the foreign minister who was in an assassination attempt in 2012 for his views of the god. >> translator: to the extent we help our journalists we want them to behave responsibly. >> reporter: it's not like ethics, it's the fact that so much is being exposed for the first time since the uprising and i'm with al jazeera. >> reporter: fighting has broken out between anti-christian fighters and soldiers in central african republic and are in the country to escort muslims to safety over the border but as they passed through an area held by the antibalica fighting broke out and since the crisis in the central african republic

approval. >> let's suppose we hold the resolution in march, i think we will need at least five or six months before the deployment. >> reporter: that's why moon is proposing an interim force and the clear objective to contain the violence, protect save yanukovichs and prevent displacement and ensure humanitarian aid and 2000 people have been killed from violence between muslims and christians. >> it's very easy to break trust and it's very hard to rebuild it and we have to start at the community level but i think you also need reconciliation efforts and dialog at the national level. >> reporter: until there is progress on that front it may fall to international troops to stabilize the country. the u.n. has received just 15% of the humanitarian aid by the international community last month and with multiple crisis from syria to south sudan the central african republic is fighting for the u.n. and the
