8:05 pm
she stumbled twice he stumbled once in a partial program last night she stumbled across the ice again in the free programs and ended up finishing fifth at my doubts. the fifteen years of age the hard times will come again but this evening is all about timeliness of unique about. she's the one that is that she's the one who's given the russian sports and found a much needed shot in the arm on something to cheer them up off the top ok to face the contending that the us and gracie don't disappoint about the only missing out on a medal finishing fourth and was the sense that we can expect tomorrow as we head into the final weekend of the winter games. while our spies and the next twenty four forty eight hours or so i don't really get to be on sunday's men's ice hockey final release the shutter peace event of any winter and take some of the main entrance but deflation i have to study art in and around so tedious we come to russia suffered a defeat to finland they want going into the torments are talked about displayed written papers they haven't won the hearts of gold to support the soviet union in nineteen ninety
8:06 pm
eight however are some question was what caused the unified team that won gold in nineteen ninety two but it wasn't a great time made a loss to finland in the quarter finals dream on i really did are slightly deflate the marriage in and around outsourcing study for the fun times. the study because we have the semi final line up in the men's competition tomorrow with sweden taken advantage of the usa taking on camera destitute of our suppliers alike both of these if you will which can add to the excitement of the tension and concludes on sunday often in a few hours before the closing ceremony to which i paced events of the building up and down the road leading to an external to our team's top three have only this time such a bright shiny a winter all and thank you thank you so much. let's go to ukraine now we're a temporary truce between police and rioters broke down overnight and bloodshed that filled the streets of kiev. once again. ukrainian health departments as at least
8:07 pm
seventy five people have been killed since the clashes began on the cover. dr is working on the scene say as many as seventy protesters were reported dead today. oh well. hundreds of others have been injured during this twelve week ordeal. the honey is fighting is happening in independence square held a certain number of victims comes as opposed to foreign fighters as well as police are now using a line if ammunition and chips. many of the protesters and police officers killed or injured since tuesday sustained income loans. today is being described as the deadliest day i was in the protests to date or to correspond and alexei your chest he joined us earlier and shared with us his harrowing experience in ukraine including been shot at. well right now we're pretty much okay with the debate over the date for us the first of all. getting into a hotel trading away on right now which is pretty much a porch rest of the up with this and writing groups at the moment i was a
8:08 pm
nightmare because all the adjoining streets were blocked off by the police and the first thing i saw on my way here was a policeman beat into a bloody mass carried on a stretcher and i was a surprise to see that because last night supposedly the opposition and the government of the president managed to agree on that show was on a ceasefire so that look nothing like it like a ceasefire from the first minutes i got here that i had a live broadcast at nine o'clock in the morning and while i was doing that broke out. i saw literally help out cutting a life behind me with that the protesters throwing molotov cocktails and firing line weapons at the police the police reached reading and writing the middle of my live broadcast the right wing groups who are actually running towards my life position so while each week for the first time in my fifteen year korean tv i have to say to the view is i have to apologize because this is no longer safe and i'll just leave you with a report that yesterday so this is holiday
8:09 pm
started mixing two hours late that i was doing a live shot from a life position. one floor below. one study right now totally crying. it would save about ninety seconds before i was suppose to go a nap. after a shot was fired into our room and hit the glass broke the window and hit the wall each the thirty fifty centimeters from where. who was standing and getting ready for the live broadcast we've actually did the live broadcast. but that was quite tense and eat them later on in one of the rooms of our cruise with them and i managed to find that as seven sixty two bullets for seventy five from the galapagos though. this is pretty much across five bullets will find in every direction and even in the rooms when there were no people inside there were still bullet holes and bullets to be found. alexei that's just unbelievable i really hope that you and your crew are keeping safe out there. obviously this peace treaty that was supposed to let happen between the police and rioters had not actually at how pandora was broken very quickly can you talk not
8:10 pm
only innocent about the peace treaty. well that the peace treaty is nothing as we can see ended its non existence it is a once again a viable prove that the people in the protest in the heart of the protests the so called white wing sector they're not taking orders from a body from the oppositional from anyone else. in fact their lead at me to get upset last night that he knew nothing about this truth and that that would not that they notice they want the revolution to go to the very end of this is pretty much what was happening in the morning and get them from my standpoint when i was standing i could hear his soul that is what the protesters who were attacking the police not the other way round as it happened on several occasions here in kiev. so this is no truce i mean we cannot speak about any kind of reconciliation between the sides and despite the efforts by the opposition the president to agree on something. these people get to my gun at the independence square they're willing to go to the very end. right now it's larry relatively calm we have with hearing that is
8:11 pm
to read the gun shop gunshots being fired. but it's not particularly tense at the moment is that i would say it's a tense wait. people are waiting for something whether this will be another soul or something else but this is a very very nervous wait. what i do want to clarify some things we know police are using mine ammunition but from your perspective when you have seen you've also seen protesters using guns and ammunition as well right absolutely reiki i can confirm that i saw it with my own eyes both the police and the protest this time the riots is using live weapons. in fact when the police were treating the five ak seventy four famous kalashnikov rifles that special version of the special courses. at the protesters and the protesters were fiery hunting rifles sniper rifles handguns and that we may actually managed to buy fewer lot like european students to get into their sniping position at the fourteenth floor all totally crazy
8:12 pm
nowhere right now. where the protests of the writers have their sight the position of cameramen was inside it felt how they were firing back at presumably snipers offbeat of the armed forces off off off off the police so yes it is absolutely clear that both sides are using live rounds now and this is bringing to the much more fuel to the already ongoing fire. now i understand also that you were covering the orange revolution that happened in ukraine back at nine years ago or so. on some talk on your experience covering that and compare it to what we're dealing with natalie is any comparison you can strike well i can say i can safely say that i've covered several hot spots as we as we call it with the riots and cornflakes with orange revolution. a little less than nine years ago was nothing compared to what is happening at the moment because it was pretty much a peaceful protest peaceful and gentle with all the regime
8:13 pm
no bullets off i've known sales were used was a purely peaceful. the matter and back then there was certainly something that the rba could be involved at the tax would enter the city and things may get violent. but it never did this time on the suspicion that the allegation that i needed a belief that the army may actually be involved in this conflict that may attack anytime soon even during this night is absolutely real because of all the things happening because of so many dead i just wish the scene at least ten corpses all right just getting to the independence square for a vigil and pretty much the same thing is happening from the police side we also now offering report that several dead policeman on the downside the loss of injured. so this is nothing compared to the orange revolution doors evolution was a completely peaceful one or force whatsoever on some minor pushing and shoving this time it's real warfare in kiev. and i'm afraid to actually. i'm afraid to even think what was going to happen next with a country and into the hole in
8:14 pm
the whole twilight thing i cannot stress enough how i want to help you keep safe and keep bringing us your excellent reports are to correspond alexei here are just the reporting from kiev ukraine. meanwhile european union leaders are now criticizing ukrainian government for its role in the bloodshed and agree to impose sanctions on the country during this trip to mexico president obama expressed concern about the situation and also threatens the chance. critics say that those threats as well as an understanding of the situation on the ground on this guy and a father stephen cullen is one of those people listen. we were going to have president obama apparently been informed about what's going on. he says he hopes his protesters will become violent. worried that they'd been violent for more than a week the completion of the occupying government buildings use buildings on fire you crying. when we get this incredible statement by
8:15 pm
the european union and washington that the recession people who resort to violence the rat. the president of ukraine by how well the guys wearing masks to the streets in hurling molotov cocktail a lot more to talk to somebody from the state department. going to get their names phone numbers and addresses. ostrich. more on the west stands icons to ukraine's demonstrations let's hang out. our team guy and ketchikan. doesn't obama knows with ukrainian media should do a whole primarily responsible for making sure that it is dealing with the peaceful protesters in an appropriate way. i was an obama has however made no suggestions on how ukrainian authorities to deal with white tips. fourteen the city shooting eating and throwing molotov cocktails at police
8:16 pm
neither has he called for the so called peaceful protesters concrete for elections to express their aspirations as he would at home under different circumstances. you don't like a particular policy. for a particular president. are you for your possession. mother when a more action. european leaders don't seem to want to wait for elections he did all but calling for the ukrainian president to step down the ukrainian authorities are afraid to lose all legitimacy. the current authorities in ukraine need to make space for transitional government of national unity and early elections in order to bring about the legitimacy of national authorities the washington and brussels are considering sanctions against ukraine. the us has already parted number of ukrainian officials from entering the country to duty sanctions against the opposition because they're the ones who are these the defining democracy
8:17 pm
by torching the capital as opposed to accept the results of a legitimate election in working to challenge them next time around. washington a stand up for democracy in a word. it is the people themselves that make those decisions. that's what the united states will continue to strive to achieve but behind the scenes u s officials are apparently trying to decide who should be the ukrainian government and he did not know. billy did luton are going into the government just what answers they are due to political homework and stuff makes me wonder people marking the sweet moment of conflicts and shooting. is also part of the opposition square quilt. newport. in the name of democracy the second part. meanwhile the us the eu and nato lay full responsibility on the ukrainian government threatening it with consequences and sanctions
8:18 pm
and eventual sanctions for twenty ukrainian politicians have already been imposed by washington. russian foreign minister sergei blackrock said the actions of the western states resemble blackmail and he urged condemnation of the actions of quote radicals and extremists who are mostly responsible for violence and bloody riots to discuss the bigger picture i was joined earlier by brian becker he's the national coat of color. accordingly there excuse me of the answer coalition. i think the sanctions would curb the violence as the west seems to think that well well we have to look at the new sanctions measures and in a bigger context the united states in the eu the nato powers have been using all kinds of pressure on the ukraine government with the effort to bring ukraine into the eu which means to bring it in tomato red shoes the border and in november what they did is they gave an ultimatum to the ukraine government. you either make a decision now he would brush up or be with the eu no other choice than
8:19 pm
they outlined a plan which was to impose extreme austerity measures and ukrainian people as part of the admission policy to get into the eu. then of course they help castigated barbara create these protests and now as the protesters are using extreme violence is the government is using violence and is the government is trying to maintain order you at the us in the eu saying now we will impose sanctions on the optician the government for the use of my own so this is a full court press that says pressure what's the real purpose. i think it's to break out the ukraine government with the hopefully i'll be doing that government toppling the government in getting the government that will take the country into the eu into the western sphere of influence and this has to be seen by russia has agreed. so you could plan out one scenario there i went on to you about best and worst case scenarios what do they look like see you in this country well that the worst case scenario is that ukraine which is divine and of course
8:20 pm
between east and west and is a class divide between rich and four. between those who look to the is the notion of men. the sort of taken towards the west or the upper crust of a being of the western arctic country who have towards germany it was the worst case could be that ukraine could descend into civil war that there could be the dismemberment of ukraine a country of forty six million people a beautiful country with a rich history type that's what happened in yugoslavia under pressure from nato forces it was a country that was a multi national multi ethnic han regionally divided multi national republican was broken up. could this happen in ukraine yes the same thing happen to the former soviet union under those circumstances the worse case scenario could be so much suffering not just for now inactive for months or years but for generations for the people of ukraine this case the eu and united states should get out of ukraine and let the ukrainian people become the masters of their own destiny. that's the best cakes now the sun really slippery slope to civil war but i want to tell you i mean
8:21 pm
we're seeing people die on a daily basis for saying these clashes continue for weeks and months. what does. where is the line when it comes to a revolution one that starts happening or will we start calling this a civil war when that money. well we're getting close to the line i don't think it's a revolution and it's kind of a counter revolution we've seen the error of counter revolution for the last twenty years where western powers to advance economic military and diplomatic authority especially since the collapse of the soviet union are picking apart the former soviet republics integrating them into an american or western sphere of influence. integrating them into nato. and that's part of a counter revolution because it's not really for the benefit of the people of the western powers will always they were doing it for a noble cause freedom democracy against repression they have their own imperial interests in this very important geo strategically important and resource rich part of the world. and mind your ps speaking of the us as a whole i want to focus on some of the individual
8:22 pm
players are obviously out taking part in its number of american politicians haven't been very vocal about some of them even visiting talking about john mccain he visited back in september or december excuse me and us and secretary of state victoria and new line actually handed out pastries in independence square. so took out the involvement of the individual american politicians in how this whole thing plays out will john mccain is a provocative to earn a war maker i hate his assigned to insult the role of de stabilizing in overthrowing governments are always advocating war. i mean he is the ultra millet or is there but you know that this is as you mention a bipartisan affair because this act it might lead us not to argue about the american people i'm talking about that mean the u s foreign policy establishment which is linked to the military wing to the c i a link to the oil to the nsa the whole military and us to accomplish what they're trying to do is to stabilize the ukraine. not because they care about ukrainian people. they want to incorporate ukraine this
8:23 pm
important country big country the second largest army in the military in europe who incorporated as part of the us sphere of influence that's an imperial design the american people don't gain anything from that big corporations and banks in the military has to come but they do get very interesting perspective on what is the nail down a very complex scene and thank you so much for weighing and brian becker national corn and read the insert collection. while still adding on our tn baltimore a university hospital is making a new week and tough medicine doctors there are creating a digital database of brain mri scans to find out the ball of the emr after the break there are. once again. i've never had that. are they
