9:02 am
earlier the acting prime minister said that they should be removed but peacefully. what have you been able to determine, not only are they occupying security buildings but they're taking weapons. >> reporter: that's right, they're now in control of two separate buildings. one is the police headquarters and the other is the security building. armed men, we saw 15 to 20 outside of the building. all with professional grade weapons. we saw staffers there as well, and on the other side of the barricade there are a few hured protesters there to support the activists inside.
9:03 am
we've been inside, we came out but we were turned on by a mob of protesters who tried to take the cameras, saying that because we're not from russia we could not be trusted with the story. that's the other thing that is the big issue here. the interior minister has feared or the the interior ministry sg protecting firearms, at the building there were machine guns and pistols seized, and they were being handed out to protesters. we have not seen evidence of that, but it gives you an idea of how fluid this situation is. >> thank you very much, indeed. that was the situation in the donesk region of ukraine. almost 150 kilometers away we go
9:04 am
pro russian demonstrators protesting there. we have this report. >> reporter: it's the early days of the ukrainian crisis when protesters in kiev stood to oust viktor yanukovych. here they are against the new ukrainian government. it's been a week since they took over the security building by pro russian supporters. with every day that passes, the list gets longer, now they want the formation of a southeastern apparently, but this is not crimea and beyond the encampment there is little sympathy for the protesters. the majority of people here look at kiev rather than moscow. >> this is crazy. these are unemployed people who have nothing to do. they're being paid by russia. they represent less than 1% of
9:05 am
us. we can't listen to them. if they want a referendum, they need six months to prepare it or russia will rig the ballots. >> reporter: they have seized a large amount of weapons that were inside the security building. the government has warned several times that it would retake the building by force if they don't evacuate. they have come and gone and there has been no action pap perhaps because authorities in kiev know this could be a very risky operation. the encampment is growing around the building. >> if they try to remove us all hell will break loose. there is a mini army in the blood. several defense lines are in place. stones and molotov cocktails are ready to be used if need be, but
9:06 am
many are praying that that day will never come. >> the youngest prime minister in italy, but already he may have gray hair. problems he has inherited are causing anger on the streets. many voicing disapproval of his government. we're joined live, not all of this is of his making. what are they saying they should do about it? >> well, david there, is a number of movements, but in this demonstration here one is a movement for the rights for housing. the other is a movement that opposes the construction of a high rail network. there are people here who
9:07 am
object. his labor market reforms now that he made it easier to hire people, but of course it's also easier for them to fire them. now this movement in the past record of violent protests. you can see that there were estimated 20,000 people that were meant to arrive here. i can count about 3,000. but more are gathering the demonstration is literally just started. but as i was saying this is certainly the biggest protest since renzi became prime minister two months ago. but because of the track record of violence movement there is a heavy police presence. they fear that tension and violence may play rough especially in the view that they are now heading towards the ministry of finance, which is literally about a kilometer from here. that's where the first signs of tension may become apparent. >> i think we can hear security forces, helicopters somewhere
9:08 am
over head keeping an eye on things. but taking a step back to the protest itself, has renzi's government done anything that could be construed as a benefit for the people of italy? >> well, indeed. for two months he has passed on quite popular reforms. there is cautious optimism for his government, especially in the view that he's proposed tax cuts, and cuts of public spending. he even put money in the itali italian's pockets for 10 million families who earn less than 10,500 euros. he has proved to be fairly popular among italians. the people demonstrating here are really demonstrating problems that he inherited from other governments.
9:09 am
>> peaceful protesters in rome, thank you very much, indeed. good to have you on the program. the iraqi city of fallujah has been armed by anti-government groups and has been said to be linked to al-qaeda. the government said they would do whatever is necessary to force those fighters out of the city. but for those caught in the middle life is increasingly difficult, increasingly dangerous. we have reports. >> reporter: fallujah has been under siege for more than three months. the government doesn't have control here. that belongs to fighters linked to al-qaeda as well as tribes against the government. just getting to the hospital is a risk. >> this must have been some sort of mortar or artillery shells. >> reporter: many people have

9:11 am
now, but it's only been a couple of days since you left. >> three months since the start of the crisis in fallujah city. only one hospital is exposed to many bombing attacks. this makes many to leave the hospital to escape these attacks. so the hospital is facing a shortage of medical equipment because of the sanctions of the city from the army, and from the forces. which make it difficult.
9:12 am
>> when there are scenes of devastation and situations such as this, you often see volunteers stepping in. are you saying that at all, or are you being left entirely on your own? >> truly, in the front of the hospital. >> i wonder if you're getting help from outside, are you getting help from volunteer organizations. >> yes, yes, many associations try to help our aids, and some non-governmental associations, but the entrance of the hospital is very difficult.
9:13 am
it is being exposed to random bombing. >> so what can be done to make things better for you and the patients? >> the most important thing is to stop random bombings to the city. this may encourage volunteers from outside of the city to enter the city, and to give help, mainly the hospital. >> well, we understand that. thank you, thank you very much, indeed, for talking to us about what is going on in fallujah. libya has detained hundreds of migrants trying to cross into europe. in the past week alone most of them are from somalia and thousands of them are trying to make the dangerous journey every year, and they often end up in

9:15 am
who have special per miss to be outside most of the time and they help out. but the guards who didn't appear to be very offensive said they can't organize regular exercise session because they don't have proper security. isn't it humane the way these people are treated? >> humane other not, it's not for me to decide. we do what we can, but the state isn't helping us. >> reporter: the detainees get regular meals and occasional medical attention. the guards say conditions are what they should be because they're poorly resourced and short staffed. but many of the men here are uncertain about their rights, and don't know what is going to happen next finance andrew simmon.andrew simmons. al jazeera. >> we'll be reporting on why tens of thousand was syrian refugee children can't go to
