new wind moving more the bond artsy four days ukraine has been caught under threat of chaos. my seven month while protesters and authorities plan. now a peace deal has been reached between the government and opposition leader. but what cool storm of violence. the latest on ukraine just a hat and the secular the games are nearing the end of competition and team usa to bond and that in men's hockey for a chance to play for gold glove an update as of

the later show up. i heart my first find him in washington d c i and my eyes and you are watching our america. well let's begin this afternoon in ukraine a country that has commanded the attention from the mainstream media this week when the images that look like scenes from world war two or the end of times these are the sights and sounds that can broadcast of round the world from ukraine for months. protesters have occupied independence square and various government buildings to try to force president neon up call that just can't. but only in the past week as the world actually begun to pay attention. people can't help but laugh because this is a first world country with deep rooted colts pro lackluster and it appears to be collapsing in on itself viewers around the world care or at least temporarily anyway because the images are

absolutely captivating and will continue to care until the next great heights this comes along any one eight not that this crisis could be in the making as we speak of peace deal has been reached between ukrainian government and opposition leaders that is expected to and a pledge that is a ray of hope after days upon days of darkness early hours of hard to correspond and alexei your chest he too was on the ground in ukraine the first hour i asked him to outline the terms of this new deal. well essentially this is the biggest concession that the ruling because it wouldn't have the maids to the opposition not only because the greeks to hold the election although the date has not yet been set. and even though they have even agreed to return to the constitution of ukraine of two thousand for which essentially gives more power to the parliament rather than the president something that chemical exchange twenty ten when she was his second year in office

he basically get ballots for yourself. now it's going back again to the parliamentarian republic here in ukraine. but the probably the biggest concession and this is unimaginable to be completely honest with you i was shocked when i read the news that the parliament ratified the lord de criminalizing the criminal law of the article the criminal code of the brain which landed on your guitar center the former prime minister the late eat the whole world was treated while in prison for seven gypsies already spent two years in prison. and she is definitely see it as the main ally has that the manga as the main enemy for the freedom of its politically has been so reluctant to let her go from prison are that he actually surprised the trade agreement with the european union eu was due monday to let a single goal lead then they would sign the deal. so this is a very big news we train in fact this award on the ground right now that ukraine may have read these this future presidents from

prison. now what is definitely the biggest concessions we've seen today the last time. let's talk about that not all that more and see all that bad the account now really intense and of course is the opposition leader she is a former prime minister. a little bit more about the de criminalization of the lot and also allowed and what's the likelihood of prison and a club it's finally signing the deal into into actual law well that deal as far as renault has already been signed by both the opposition the president of the opposition have in fact manage to post or several laws inside the parliament which i would not have happened in any other circumstances rather than this violent tokyo in the capital of ukraine took an immaculate in a sentence at me. she is the biggest political rival of the local beach. i got a call is to instigate that as many believe this case against shia gotten seven get prison time for the use of color when he's when she signed gas deal with russia in two

thousand and nine. and she spent only two years in prison offers seven prison the seven ye present time now she may actually walked three and john says of delta college winning the presidential election it tymoshenko walks free from prison and becomes the contender becomes the running to and that for the president selection of very slim. so essentially this is. this looks like yellow cottage. digging his own hole i mean. already we have information that many deputies from the elite body have defected to the opposition. this thing this may make things even worse already out of college with tymoshenko which is called the joan of arc on seventy s it used to be the prime minister. she nearly won the presidential action against inappropriate for the end of two thousand and nine in two thousand said excuse me but i'm definitely right now with all the banter when all the frustration off maybe prince against their property as president tymoshenko laid back baby back with a mofo mall. wow

what if i will support that she used to have in twenty ten and alexei i can't help but notice that your outside vs yesterday when you are in the hat's how can a bumper down a little bit more. would you say that that things are finally starting to calm down and the results of this new deal between the ukrainian government and opposition leaders how are they responding to act. you know what was all very like to think that this is the end that the story may be dying down the streets of kyiv made a return to the useful life again but this is not the case of fires. we may allege because of that victory just minutes ago. one of the leaders of the rightwing sect of the so called right wing sector which is more of the protests the guys who are coming to the instigating all the fighting in the frontline havoc in kiev. he spoke from the stage only get man behind me and he said that he cared little about eighty laws about any concessions made by the government to make only one straight month

that democrats must resign by ten o'clock in the morning on saturday. otherwise the right wing that will attack with weapons that will try to stall governmental buildings and they will again be back to full attack mode. to this as as this statement is creating some citizen signs i mean there's the sort of a panic spreading around the journalists in this hotel right now. the same hotel which was fired at and we ourselves will find that by sniper bullets at the life position. join the many journalists here at mel told me that they have actually considering to give back you wait for me at if things are starting to get really nice tea and nobody can rule that out because we've been to that point before. on wednesday night the opposition the president agree on the juice of a ceasefire to warrant out of some kind of agreement on thursday morning the right wing sector shows that they care little about any kind of agreements they go into full attack mode. almost hundred people died as a result of that attack. take a seat was up but still unstable it's

still far from being in shows and we're still far from saying this is all over and we can go home. now i understand the ukrainian lawmakers would enter the halls of parliament were also fighting and kind of joking it out. so obviously they're fine with them on some sounds and there is contention. even within the parliament itself can you talk to that. yes we see is some scuffles in the parliament during the day when they were discussing the laws. i cannot tell you for sure what caused the scuffles but said the tensions were running high but the sense of the office that these couples after the break which the parliament announced after that the information started flowing in that some of the deputies on the morning fog defected to the opposition may be as result of the scuffle maybe as a result of the violence ended it no longer want to see that violence in the country. but the sun city and at the end of the day they have a constitutional majority in parliament and the more than three hundred boats and most of the places most of the last war. i've

given in the end and in order and in favor all these lost something unprecedented for a rather turbulent political life the ukrainian side to the walls the ukrainian parliament with the taxes were high. both outside and inside ukrainian parliament for the last several days. so with this new deal perhaps the beginning of the and in terms of me is crazy and kind of seems that we see play out with my ammunition being used on both sides. thank you so much for reporting and please stay safe are the corresponding alexei here are just beyond the ground in ukraine. now in the midst of all this fighting and all of this political disagreements what political interests are also at play in ukraine congressman dana who are not personally and his colleagues this week for taking signs in and form a while. this was no one knows for sure who started the violence in ukraine and he accused protesters of using both groups for us. representative are not currently chairman of the house foreign affairs camel and you're out and he joined me earlier to explain

why the peaceful protesters are being portrayed as just that. well they were in the year were present in large segment. to me the ukrainian population the wheel for a number ukraine is a very divided country of about half the country really wants closer relations with russia the lord of the government wants closer relations moreover you can tell to their country. two diametrically opposed. people can order a strongly about all of these type of issue should be settled at the ballot box. and i'm just wondering personal. what is this idea about having foreign countries to sign off to an agreement between ukrainians themselves. our guys was kind of odd that this government a government signed off on the one the agreement. this should be left up to the people who should be settled. not on the streets. but in

the ballot by ballot even if they didn't like with the government was doing and can kick about in the next election. i'm just wondering but no matter who wins the next election. this probably means. now if you feel really strongly about going to really get on the streets and risk losing your lives. you can foresee any position on to the ukrainian government that would mean there'd be a lot of turmoil in the future. and as you say we are seeing these diametrically uprising of canyons playing our industry was what this crazy violent going on. john mccain and chris murphy travel to kiev in december senator murphy said ukraine's future stamp with europe and the us stands with ukraine while senator mccain proclaimed quote america stands with you. do you think that this kind of that speech is appropriate. no i don't and i don't think the use of the ukrainian people to decide what is in their best interest and oh yes the russians were by the way

were true it is is that the law people the republican party were so pretty in russia as it was the soviet union called war is over. one day decided that he would like the album of course there's no reason why he shouldn't be representing the interests of russia is the president of russia. he offered the ukrainians a deal that know if they would go towards the european direction. well on ok. they have a right to accept or reject that their government in the right direction up to reject it without having to us trying to say well if you accept any closer ties with russia that must mean you're a puppet in your corrupt and you're you're a gangster well on the ad states that she really interfering locally with what ukraine should be deciding for themselves and i understand that president obama actually called present black hair put in today. that call even should've taken place. well i don't know what he was talking about and why you would be nice in front of mr

prudent in the united states for both dedicated to getting back to the democratic process and allowing elections to happen in allowing people are elected to make the decisions for the country. in this case i don't see a dichotomy. i don't see mr boardman closing out the match should be our position as a man as americans. other than that we believe in the democratic process. so on are just a hint of mr prudent is demonized by a lot of people here and there whenever watching out for rational self interest. where were acting as if this is the old cold war days and was a communist overture to do something to dominate the world. when you have a right to watch out for the interests of the people there just is the way we do in united states. just as the ukrainian government should be doing the washing up in the interests of the people of ukraine. all boils down to business is essentially what you're saying now you cannot talk about this peace deal you say that if ukraine wants to have

keith the nation go to the ballot boxes and do it there. now with this new deal they're saying they're calling for early elections that and for presidential elections by this end are the ski hill undermined the democratically elected government since essentially in reverse as the constitution and force early elections. i mean what kind of message does the center protesters have been saying that at one of the street and riots that they will get what they want well no they went to his resume is or what we don't know whether they went to this reason ryan and are not there's a lot of evidence to indicate that up before being shot to that the authorities once they were in the streets of started to of brutal lies in them. there is no evidence the roundup but also there's evidence of her on heads among the people who were demonstrating that they all work as peaceful as is being incorporated victims as they are being betrayed. of the most important thing

however is the rule of law and yes with the human rights have to protect people on the right to demonstrate an expressed their opposition to government policy but also we have the rule of law to think about when suddenly government is elected. it should be that it gathers a group of people who were elected to make decisions of the ones issues of policy now what we've learned ukraine now. it looks like it you can f you really disagree with what the elected government is doing. you should go to the streets and just a raise holy and to all those policies are reversed four dollars and change made in the procedure. well certainly not those i believe that i have lead to peace and ukraine in the future the family i killed a fly on both sides and we don't really know right now cuckoo as in simulated this kind of chaos that we're seeing play out in the streets. too much time left but we'll see the last few years now demonstrations happened throughout the arab world

recently in turkey and the rain we've seen them play on the european hewlett austerity right sweetie. here in the last with the occupying movement what's the appropriate response from governments to movements that happened like this and take it out to history. well the important thing is that all people in these countries brothers united states or earn elsewhere. these people have the right to demonstrate that a right to walk a straight skirt occupied territory have a right to protest in the end to express themselves and their opposition to government policies as often as aggressively as they can without stepping on the rights of others. bound up in a hole in the united states in the oven occupy a movement going wrong with that as they were occupying territory and sitting down and say oh we control is now well as long as people and are just a hint in parks and an outing protest meetings and things like that without actually taking possession of

a given part of all peoples of those rights need to be protected. the same time elected government of that that principle of the elected people see you can be a very small by howard will get hundreds of thousand of people out. so the people right of the majority to elect its government policies should be stepped on either content in our block are from california. thank you so much for joining me i hope you come back again. to sit in our athletes are answering the final weekend of competition before the closing ceremony on sunday. let's take a look at the heart. the us leads the medal count with twenty seven brush i use just one behind the twenty six medals followed by canada norway the netherlands and germany now that's hard to count today is all about the semifinals men's ice hockey. the us and canada hoping to have a better outcome than the us when his hockey team. earlier by rt is a richer cocoununterparts flelt on the ground in sochi. he

legalize is discrimination the firestone rubber anti gay laws erupted after the kansas house of representatives passed such a bill last week. rt is ramon valley now reports from topeka kansas. i knew. until the music goes inside the spectacular dome an elegant chambers of the kansas state capitol. be on the street appearances this is also home to a fierce debate between supporters of same marriage in their opponents. what if the tree is alive and well in cannes and time again. we believe that religion should be used to discriminate in kansas same marriage is bad the national spotlight shine bright in the state after the kansas house of representatives approved a bill that would've allowed anyone to refuse to do business with same couples by citing religious beliefs some portion because the language of the bill is so loose that it really is a license to discriminate much crap protested the religious freedom bill speaker in law makers eventually said he would let the legislation

died in the senate. i contacted several supporters of the religious freedom act that they chose not to speak to us on camera. those who i was able to speak to over the phone said the controversy was like he stood up by a misinterpretation of their measure. while it may have died for the time being here in kansas. lgbt activists fear that i could once again pop appear in another state houses conservative advocates feel that religious freedom protections are needed for people of faith were trying to make a living buddhas at random believes the court rule changes are hurting christians in the us and putting them at legal risk it is clear. if you're a christian. nate and what has been maintained but every religion in the history of that time. that's the insects all activity is not for a human person and is back. you have work in america. this is the message of the cave all we need to protect these people and for that reason states like kansas are writing bills like this as a whole lot more will be read

father does. we have is which. within the last few weeks at least nine other states have introduced legislation that is similar to the kansas bill. measures have stalled and several legislatures that the arizona legislature passed its own religious freedom act. now it's up to the governor decided they will become law the constitution and protect people's religion. but there's no such document anything for orientation so they're trying to protect the most protected cost our country as conservative activists push back against the legalization of gay marriage. the play will continue over whose freedoms the government will simply protect. in topeka kansas ramon valley mill. rte. i am not around the dinner table right now we're telling down on the late afternoon snack fair warning you should probably put down the ditch are eating for a few minutes to get ready for this next story. a few months back when kentucky farmers kill off a bunch of baby pigs because they were sick but before seen epidemic diary of my
