5:32 pm
to see ali their side is gained from the fighting in kiev. i sound of police stun grenades echoed over independence square in the morning. four demonstrators once gathered peacefully radicals now throw molotov cocktails the government says extremist groups are stoking the violence. you would know what is it supposed to do most of today. despite it being a day of mourning despite the truce. i have been fighting and grind he said manatee forces since the morning would have been opened to the forest the ceasefire negotiated between the government and opposition held less than twelve hours. government opponents say they were fired on by snipers. often the victims on them i don were killed by a single bullet. many are dead and injured one thing is clear the situation in kiev has lead to chaos and violence ari would be of every friend that the government doesn't
5:33 pm
control the riot police. and it's pretty difficult for the opposition to control my dom and the right number of forces squat on conform to the outfield there may seem little hope for mediation but the foreign ministers of germany france and poland are in kiev to at least try after long talks with president viktor yanukovich they now want to talk to the opposition was the goal of bringing the two sides to the same table the supremes ukraine's future and i need to decide it here in ukraine itself. it notes by using violence on the streets of true political conflict resolution. we wanted to mental scientists can be done is that this event sewing stopping the conflict on the streets and getting the politicians talking again looks unlikely at the moment authorities have told the people of kenya to stay indoors. saying it's too dangerous to go outside
5:34 pm
we're joined now by is unknown so wonder who is in tianjin is joining us on the line from the ukrainian capital. first of all what's happening there where you are i know. though the bill. we will be entered on independence square. however there are street battles that are taking place throughout the capitol street. milicic the government the boys thought that actually do. but if it isn't often with criminal background to set fire to cars and freckles and wrecked havoc on each leaf with it. europe isn't it print this article in the nineteen forty. what do we know about the sheets
5:35 pm
realities in the earlier there were reports that snipers were actually talking heads of protesters is there any official confirmation of this. we will not acknowledge it. due to poor. until that afternoon the big night even using a firearm against protesters. his body. every good feeling to know photographs and videos up not always right word targeting protesters was probably leave iraq. we did that to do before the fed acknowledged that he had begun to pop the right to firearms begin with. morale among the protesters detail very diverse group of people they are moderated. who are trying to help haiti. people with a can. medical need for material gain. then they are the radically oriented writers who are repeating
5:36 pm
the end of violence against the police. so it's a very diverse group with different attitude toward the protests alright since a lot of reporting to ukrainian capital kiev. thank you so much for your update. thank you. a short while ago we told to greene county men are also prominent in the east bay co is also in kiev. we asked at what was the latest sheehan i did that. they had left. the company. that the president of parliament one of the guilt that i know who would get out of it. had a goal for the last time that routinely fall apart. does it
5:37 pm
on my own . it's sth still less any seats at the moment once the situation and eased their way and teasing well i think the fact that the wind that the politically dead calm that has so often with nothing. on the dead to a girly day the people. it's good he said that they had to help the thousands. it is stated in third. i hope that the best. which we will hopefully be tomorrow would be an improvement in us. dead dead people on the mike tom harley be cut. if it were not so good this time the statistics tell us some tea. no eu foreign ministers have agreed to impose sanctions on those responsible for the violence in ukraine. i attended
5:38 pm
the tuesday meeting in brussels he agreed to in the sand and sand freeze the assets of those with blood on their hands lee hughes foreign policy co ordinator catherine ashton called on the government in kiev and the opposition to exercise as much restraint as possible. it's fascinating to see and that this island is completely unacceptable and should stop immediately. any further escalation should be avoided. those who are responsible for human rights violations should be brought to justice. i like to think she's carrying situation we decide as much as i can safely needs to know that i became sanctions. peter agreed to suspend export licences for equipment for internal repression. remember to ashton said the main purpose of oldest anti he was taking was to find a way to end the violence. is it possible that the sanctions well more on that crisis meeting the just concluded in
5:39 pm
brussels was bringing correspondent born princess cake. who was following the talks for us when welcome to the journal tells what the eu foreign ministers decided. basically they decided to introduce a new visa bad and an assets freeze for all those responsible for the violence. liz has not been compiled over the zoo we don't noon. to which politicians or whoever will be targeted in the ukraine rumor has it they will be names from the opposition are other people and bolster the other side of the barricades. i'm however deals the decided to use the ban imports of any material that can be use for it on the repression. and that might seem like no mosque that it is indeed it is a powerful gesture. i mean also depends on them and who's going to be on this list da da is not the oligarchs behind ukrainian government or indeed sitting in the ukrainian government will feel the heat because a lot of them have access to the eu
5:40 pm
and that they will do something to benefit cheat because creation with your position. boy am but realistically i mean how effective do they think that the sanctions will be because my question to step in and make up for the losses. well i mean the russian laws have been to make up for the losses of private individuals but of course the personally will take time the main base in you you would be about forty eight hours before the said measures come into effect that it will have to see whether that's true or not and of course that doesn't mean necessarily mean that the violence will stop just because someone passes in austria for example yanukovich this comedy is rumored to have a large businesses this is all state that would to be free citizen that it doesn't mean that they would to stop the repression as you said it believes it is a cute border with russia and russia will supply anything unnecessary soon more than anything this symbolic measure and it's a sign of singles for the oligarchs behind
5:41 pm
the government. doubts that things can get to the roster for them is to devise continues. annabelle and as you know the german french and polish foreign ministers are currently in kiev calling he's my marathon talks with the tail cone which they hold any sway at all. it's very difficult to see the stage remains today. the there were reports that that under the mask or other leaders from europe that was among the also were calling in of course she was picking up. to know that the minister says they are they will stay until tomorrow evening. maybe even into the weekend saying they hope they can achieve something which is why they prolong their stay in the region they were suppose to come back today and attend a meeting in brussels they decided to stay so there are folks who don't know what's happening behind closed doors but certainly what they tried to steve and his four day ten of the government of national unity the a position to be admitted to him to see the scope of the government

talking to him and whether they would. this would happen in access to the people on the street to a clashing with police and markers as you know the eu has just announced sanctions on those a holes responsible for the violence. russia has accused the eu especially of meddling in the internal politics of the ukraine. will this be more ammunition for the russians to maybe exert more pressure on young comix to increase his crackdown probably yes we hiked to the prime minister can each make a gift idea this day are in a statement on to russia's tv it and it has changed the tone they encounter it said the government owned and to keep that to walk the line they tried to help in the yanukovich said government done to solve this crisis and that date and will keep that promise is serviced there is a for example own a credit to ballot to twelve billion euros that the president prime minister
