tap. she's coming down to the words. for many and today is a top tourist attraction in north wales. i am. they are in your eye. i am. six. i like gadgets. thanks so much for joining us here are some of the stories will be covering in the next thirteen still occupying key of independence square security threat for what they called this operation. the tears that will impose sanctions against ukraine at the crackdown against the opposition doesn't end i'm struggling french comic fcs a pretzel sticks but it gets a cash lifeline from

chinese. ending centuries of harmony. the what next for ukraine after a bloody and violent night in the capital kiev that has left twenty five people dead and more than two hundred injured there's been strong international condemnation of the finest european union foreign ministers will hold a crisis meeting tomorrow to discuss possible sanctions against the government of president t k chemical beat the rush of names meddling by the west for the day the couch. meanwhile with no prospect of a peaceful resolution anti government protesters remained defiant and bracing for another night of unrest in key its central independence square the gathering at independence square again tonight. most of them have been waiting all day to assemble again. and many are expecting another fierce battle. the secret service says it is planning another

defensive say radical demonstrators on making preparations the global rising and will be a new attack yanukovich on wednesday about. the caller to ms dawson said. so the demonstrators on independence square have been preparing hold a training center banks with crushed rocks. some members of the nz government camp is still hoping for a diplomatic solution. today's talks between opposition leaders and president big toe yanukovich yielded no progress. sprinkle green. we did see any will from the present will start to snore from the president is seeking the real resolution to this conflict or i would say human contact with people not deciding on the streets of kiev be the sole responsibility for this device with a government that's why there is any one solution to yanukovich and his people must to portugal's know we can. the president has a different id and an antenna vision girl cause she accused the opposition of overstepping of bounty and

trying to seize power by force. he transcends even tougher action. what is on wednesday he announced that he would replace the head of the army. saturday is national trust anywhere in cannes at the moment. even here in an altered oaks church where we did protest is being treated. many are refusing to get to hospitals but they feared they might be reported to the police. alas crossover not to respond i guess i was in tears at independence square. mike is a scene for such a situation like in independence square behind me and independence glad that man as my done that to twenty thousand maybe thirty centers and protests as a buy now and not fall away from them that the kind of dumb things and they had tickets to qt force is standing by and not interacting so far and they are designed to fly and the burning barricades and mainly made from titus we have seen that today we've seen that. last night so far

is quite sad and well shaped like say oh my god comparison to what was then that last night but tension is is really high. we're getting reports that the ukrainian security agency is launching a nationwide anti operation what the seventy. i mean this the that from that moment on indexing it's suppose to be in the whole country and on the amendment on this security said this and decide what police forces will do what the army that will give the army actually would be a new player in this concrete to ukrainians do so experts have been saying for example that the police that could and then jess and sandy flats in the country any house without such a bar and or imminent danger and so that's what opposition activists. obviously at weddings and the bad and also we are guessing you see that there is the new army to use

that matters said people like c speculating if the chemical that has a problem with delight galaxy week in the un force isn't that huge forests in knots as small as the becket security and the units so that might be a reason now for this change and i continue as you know is considering targeted sanctions against those behind the violence. what impact do you think these will have if at all at this stage. well the sentence that is really what it is just what the position the guys have been hoping for a photo of weeks if that is really happening. they think that could be a game changing especially in for example bank towns of high ranking politicians are being frozen because when it comes to mit which is mainly sort of road then maybe add these politicians and also yet to call that could sam is theirs and also the all the guys could to try to influence began to call the ukrainian all the guys said barry pollack still here and we get reports that actually. and maybe even tonight santana

products might be me sing with the three opposition leaders. i don't have confirmation that that that might be assigned to it that talk about sanctions might already making an approach made today. we'll talk again in later editions my item reporting from independence square in kiev like to thank you so much for now. well what can the outside world see it and that returned to battle between anti government activists and security forces and defuse the standoff between the and a covert government and the opposition. it's a question european leaders on grappling with with events taking a deadly turn on both sides not backing down the eu is considering using positive measures to bring about a peaceful resolution the european union and the priority now is to end violence in ukraine the subject dominated talks between chancellor on the medical and president french law on monday and parents. the german and french leaders are united in calling for sanctions. in this and can be engraved

isn't what we have to get the political process back on track. xd anyway to calm the situation. one is one of the mines are in touch with all the contacts we have and to use in russia. those contacts on going all the things going on this but i gave him. the victorians one and the finance as quickly as possible. student journals. i'm a picky. to define sanctions which on top of this unit and can be tightened. sunday we need to restock and it tickled i know as soon as possible. what good will. we read your footy team. the european commission made it clear earlier that brussels would no longer just sit back and watch the situation in ukraine. do you expect. that's targeted measures against those responsible for violence and use of excessive force kennedy agreed to buy all the member states. we hope

that they consider these as the meadow but to see ukraine is now the driving issue in brussels the reactions are beginning to take shape. now eu foreign ministers are holding a special meeting on thursday to discuss possible sanctions against ukraine. and now joined now from brussels by rebecca harms a member of the european parliament. sure the green party. this harms the very warm welcome to the journal. the sanctions be targeted ads to be effective so these sanctions should continue to target that it wants to go with the press and sat in awe of the ukrainian government and to hire a key responsible for the violence to gain their citizens not only since yesterday but since as separate weeks and months and distinctions we are talking about are not on target to begin studies ukraine as a country or a nation. they are

targeted to the games. part of the pool is to continue which really profits from its thing and he's not. i think they should face that said the ban. and now in addition we need to very very soon with epa decision on hold to freeze bank opponents one of the bills keep the one on one hand to one set to bring to our country i'm back at it what's the most goals on bread and protection. and in the same time as you reach enterprises and you which a bank accounts in the european union member states. you pathetic yes many times lately many of your colleagues is well what you make of this latest escalation in violence and how do you see this and eight so this escalation during the eye yesterday afternoon and tonight tonight. i was not a surprise for me i need

received many warnings from my friends out there appeasement is that i'd get all the loose in the west wants a peaceful solution but nobody in kiev seriously expected to add that to the mystery of who called it an end to the people surrounding him i are ready or pee pads for a peaceful a solution the one to the coast of fife with that color and therefore they are doing everything also using violence against us citizens to protect their customers and clients. my camera back or harms is an ep for the green party ms times thank you so much for coming on the program we appreciate it. good bye olive the country more divided than ever this new wave of violence further polarize of the people in ukraine as indiana police have pledged to implement political reforms and the twelve week

crisis box so fun. he failed to meet the test system let's take a look now at the man who spread the presidency has been fraught with difficulties yanukovich finally became president of ukraine in february twenty ten. since then he's done everything possible to stay in power his first attempted leadership failed in two thousand and four. often called know the results of the runoff election amid fraud allegations and mass protests that became known as the orange revolution. which has no intention of repeating that experience. months after taking office. yanukovich will start you have tymoshenko as prime minister she had been leader of the revolution she was put on trial and found guilty of corruption. many believe the charges were politically motivated. still in jail. she seriously he'll be on a covert still considers a threat. that's one of the reasons he said no to the plant association with the european union eu summit in vilnius last november. he

was demanding tymoshenko be freed. something inappropriate refuses to do they're also the economic reasons for his decision yanukovich is supported by polygon to send them money from coal and steel. most of their businesses are located in eastern ukraine and is strongly dependent on russian firms. it would be against their interests to strengthen ukraine's association with western europe. more important of them is the vision europeans and customs union the russian president of the demure putin has promised. the president's family also benefits from the status quo. since twenty ten munich over to some monies under as being one of the wealthiest people in the country. his father was toppled trees and as fortune would be endangered the article which is reactions to the car and anti government protests the range of expressions of understanding to threats of tougher action. that suggests

divisions within the article beach camp. most recently the hardline as among his advisers have been getting the upper hand. it's what's likely to be his reaction if the eu imposed sanctions on his government would be enough to sway chemical mix the two and a us shopping mall forms for another time courting a hit in its relations with russia has been funneling the situation in ukraine closely. i mean sanctions have to target at that. these are the persons who are responsible for the escalation of violence this is the family offering a new coach this is the minister of domestic affairs these days. she then they mean the municipal the secrets of risk but all of these people who are personally responsible for the escalation of violence they have to be targeted. i think that this nation has completely changed since last night. from the eu has not brought the sides together

what scanner. i mean at the and the eu was an option and it has been part of mediation. it was under the auspices of the osce i think the eu court to all for mediation in a row. it is evident that there is no trust no credibility between the company car keys so an international mediation is immediate. to me to make progress in peace talks between the president and the opposition the role for russia in the process. moscow is blaming the european union to interfere from outside it we have two and two to reject these accusations because there is no interference we are ready to help you going to seoul the economic problems to assault the political problems. the distribution has to find and the ukraine ownership insight to the ukraine. i think moscow

has not played to a rolling off an impartial mediator. i think is very much a johnny us. and still have a lemon on is won by another bomb blast making this up on the succulent take this anymore. though the mountains to the north sea. in terms it's sad. europe's most importantly you've never seen it i don't really see it's still march forth on the resort. this can turn to

from a child scandal unfolding in one's rising star in the social democratic party but interesting enough but this is also on the form of parliamentarians the best in the backseat the investigation and how it was revealed to show some democratic leaders on the spd parliamentary group leader tomas oh come on is under fire for phoning the head of germany's federal police the case of mind says the call was justified but allegations are mounting that the dive team was tipped off that he was under investigation. isn't it. my last cross over into our parliamentary correspondent simon young has been following this story for assignment to see you describe the atmosphere during today's testimony well of course is still very tense because of the potential ramifications of this scandal but i think i would say that the atmosphere is more conceal it reason it was of the beginning of the week it's become a bit more obvious today that

the coalition partners conservatives insist that democrats are determined to get through this scandal put it behind him return to normal government business and that's evident in the fact that said calls for people to resign for instance have rather died down today has anything come out of the question is so fun. given that a lot of attention today on the on a brief telephone conversation between the thomas open and early teen years social democrats and get sick of the native tim is criminal investigation no authority and in the midst of a manassas and the confirmation that the missed day down to the man at the center of the scandal was being investigated. that said the key thing today is that the post man that he's been giving testimony at the picnic tea here in the buddhist odds that the ghost supported each other's evidence they said no information will have been tossed across which would've been a legal them to stop him and said they need to basically haven't been able to believe the allegations and that's why he called that

to see if it was some kind of mistakes in the heat is likely all the social democrats is what comes out of that. so once these hearings are over what comes next. well a mood of the political level. some people take the opposition politicians is suggesting what may have to come it isn't full column entry inquiry into the scandal to see what has happened boy a and d day the interior minister feels that he had to break the mortal has to do his job which is that it was happened is a lot of anger from the conservative side still it's one of their ministers he's resigned that this scandal. and dead but having said that more widely i think of the government policies are looking for ways to calm the waters and get it back to doing it business with being that the grand coalition and set me know too that the government to fold over the scandal. i signed in young commentary correspond for dw thank you so much for your insights. now in
