live from new center eight pm this tuesday evening is kevin owen with you our top story than this ukraine's parliament building remains besieged by protesters angry at the leaders rejecting a deal which would have brought the country closer to the e.u. mass rallies turned violent again overnight with police and protesters firing tear gas and pepper spread each other. fourth. another day another protest rallies in kiev have. people here clearly and. not just on the euros we see the heavy police presence here and on monday we actually saw clashes here in the morning some of the question of the police tear gas with such was the story on monday evening at the protest at the european square where a minor provocation a minor incident causing
11:02 am
a rather big brawl with the police to gas was used again i was in the thick of it i actually managed to film part of the somebody this brawl with myself on the u.-turn may have stunned a few people but it's no surprise to some of those who have looked at the numbers the country's economy has been on a downward slope for over a year and a half with foreign debt at a staggering one hundred thirty six billion dollars would have cost at least another hundred billion dollars to more than nice factories to e.u. stand arts' not all can so closures would see tens of thousands of people unemployed at risk if cannot afford especially since the e.u. made it clear no immediate compensation then acute drop in industrial output from lost trade with russia which said ukraine cannot get loyalty points from everyone. but at. least there's a medical term trauma that's what signing this deal would become for ukraine it's not a political for the state to function normally it would lead to the closing of tens
11:03 am
of thousands of factories and businesses millions of jobs would be costly if this deal would send the ukrainian economy spiraling into total collapse it would effectively paralyze the state of city people to do it pretty sure that we can for you know judging by the fact that the protesters still have tent camps scattered all across the city the protests are unlikely to die down and least until the end of this week when there will be the bodies of some of them really aware brain still have a chance on the signing of the euro association deal house there's been some russian reaction to that and i can bring you this has come in the last few minutes russia's president. quote his it friends in the european commission to refrain from harsh statements and quote. that was major in comments on the ukrainian deal german news conference just no interest in italy but it also said the trade deal poses a grave danger for the russian economy course will bring you more details on that as more details come through through the course of the evening. the diplomatic triumph in geneva has done little to come one of the harshest critics of the rounds
11:04 am
nuclear deal with the west though israel's prime minister's now sending his top security advisor to washington to convince president obama to hold out for a final accord with duran which is expected in six months time fall asleep investigates why israel isn't ready to break open the champagne then israel's leaders are lining up to lambaste the rand nuclear deal taking a cue from the commander this first step could very well be the last of the country's foreign minister val's the world is now closer to a nuclear arms race while the economic chief warns a nuclear suitcase could detonate a new york madrid five years from now the supremum has made the world a much more dangerous place. but that world is hating the deal with iran as historic it will make our partners in the region safer it will make our ally israel safer while television threatening to isolate itself even further so
11:05 am
the goal is not bob by this move the wing it retains the right to act and yet for all the frustration there is one more hope for israeli politicians to use the next six months before a final deal is drafted to their advantage i suspect they're going to be continuously saying that iran is not keeping its commitment and i've sure they're going to be in close touch with. united states friends than anybody in any of the countries continuously pressing israel's demands for what should be in that final agreement but with the pressure on israel it's the only country in the middle east that has not and does not intend to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty if you want to avoid. a nuclear weapon for iran we have to be part of a nuclear free zone with very simple even iran's president hassan rouhani has
11:06 am
called on israel to join the treaty positioning himself as a major peacekeeper in the attempt to denuclearize the region never threaten israel with nuclear weapons on the contrary. a third iran militarily the outcome can be. if a nuclear free middle east initiative was ever to work its estimated israel would need to get rid of anywhere between seventy five and four hundred nuclear warheads israel is not going to agree even to talk about the iranian bomb in the context of day nuclearization that's the last thing that israel wants to have in the equation . and for a country that has never officially admitted to possessing nuclear arms getting her to destroy them might be the most difficult deal the world has yet to secure policy r t tel aviv. while the israeli probably says insistence that his country doesn't have to go along with the deals got short shrift from britain's top diplomat william
11:07 am
hague sworn by the minute you know against undermining what was achieved in geneva . of course we would discourage anybody in the world including israel from taking any steps that would undermine this agreement time we will make that very clear to all comes this also very important to explain to them to ask them well the alternative to this agreement would be because the alternatives would involve iran getting to nuclear weapons threshold capability or having a nuclear weapon or a conflict with a round or all of those meantime by the minute you know who's hardline stance on iran isn't winning a much support at home either his refusal to budge a spot angry reactions of israel's media some commentators suggest his harsh words were prompted by a sense of personal failure and they'd accusing him of behaving all day in the international arena the liberal her at newspapers question the prime minister's diplomacy calling it an in your face bellyaching says israeli national security expert oh an ultimate spoke to us and says that you know his handling of the issue
11:08 am
is far from popular with his people an increasing number of analysts and commentators who have come out and said this deal is something israel could live with and even if it's not perfect it's not something that we would have opted for ourselves that it's something that's not as bad as our prime minister has described so there's definitely a spectrum of opinion here on this issue as there is in every issue what we do know is in the week or two leading up to the agreement there was a poll taken about what people felt about the prime minister's rhetoric towards the united states and a plurality supported him and only a very small percentage of the public thought that he was fully on justified but that may be different after the agreements come to come into being we'll have to see. what kind of country would an independent scotland become if it's of this and say yes to breaking away from the u.k. in a referendum next september the question the scottish government outlined what it thinks will happen in a draft white papers it's not
11:09 am
a test for us it is by looking through the six hundred page blueprint. this white paper answers some six hundred fifty questions and the details here really are key there are two main categories here one those that will be negotiated during the transition period and another of those will be made if an independent scottish government is indeed formed they promise indeed a lot of breaking down of all the policies they want to pursue let's listen to a bit of what they said that today we would also call a halt to damaging which mr policies are pushing soo many people into poverty abolish the bedroom tax and ensure that the incomes of the lowest paid with the course of living going in to this white paper there were a lot of sticking points that were debated heatedly by both sides those pro and against the independents first of all there's a question of currency scotland wants to keep the sterling pound and form a union a currency union with the u.k. but westminster has been adamant that this is not guaranteed and in fact is highly
11:10 am
unlikely and another issue is that of taxes today alex salmond had insisted that there won't be need to raise taxes and that first of all scotland will be in a better fiscal position as the u.k. but this is against one of the new studies that have come out this saying that there will be a long term fiscal difficulty for scotland if it becomes independent and there's also the question of who is going to be controlling the oil reserves there is definitely bound to be dispute between westminster and scotland if it does become independent again alex salmond insisting that he doesn't want any of the nuclear weapons programs in the country they will maintain some of the more conventional defenses and how the list goes on but i think the main crux of the matter here is that many critics are pointing out asking if this white paper is going to be presenting the plan b. because a lot of the premises presented requires another party in negotiation what if the party the back of england and the british government or even member states in terms
11:11 am
of e.u. membership what if they don't agree to what alex salmond has. has been proposing but he said that he is confident that everything that's contained in six hundred seventy pages will be addressing every single question if anything had this white paper is going to be a springboard for even more debates in the months to come on but earlier we discussed why this brand new document so important for scotland with jonathan shafi is from the radical independence campaign for me some of the main headlines just how different the scottish government's approach to key economic concerns in comparison to basements of discussion so far has been one in which what we've seen from the new campaign has been nothing concerning how they would improve the lives of people on the button we see no idea about how david for example start to think about the raising living standards or redistributing wealth in fact what we've seen is the opposite of that we've seen them put forward ideas that are going to maximize the well for the very top of society not everything and this white paper
11:12 am
today i would agree with but i think what we've got to say is that this is the start of i hope a much broader discussion i don't want sort of scolding that we want to leaven. if you take a look at lawless libya in a few minutes in the program authorities there are. factions refusing to lay down arms and come under government control. join me piece for all of this to find out what it takes to graduate from europe's only. gree of. group of highly skilled training trainees devoted to making a livelihood out of those who are no longer living stay with us.

in the libyan city of benghazi and he's with his militia is threatening to unleash a bloodbath in defense of sharia law the group came under attack from government troops on monday at least nine people were killed and dozens wounded in the clashes it's the latest crackdown on militias which is being ordered to disband or join the army local journalist karim and not she reports now from tripoli for r.t. . over forty people were killed and more than two hundred injured at a rally last week in tripoli as protesters clashed with the militia and they took control of a number of government buildings the gunmen gave into the demands of the libyan authorities and left tripoli but refused to lay down arms reportedly natives of the city of misrata they were among the first to seek to remove the gaddafi regime in general the security situation in libya remains unstable believe me as deputy intelligence chief mustafa know our recently kidnapped outside tripoli's international airport. or for their part libyan civilians
11:15 am
a big demonstrating in tripoli against the rogue militias have been causing chaos in the country we've been getting some of their reactions. it's a message to libya's government but we want to authorities to solve the problem of those and making the people suffer. we want everybody who is illegally carrying weapons to disarm we want and then to the bloodshed so the people are rallying for security in libya for the army and police to play the roles they are supposed to or for a bit more background here the libyan government's been able to control the militias who helped propel it to power when they overthrew and killed moamar gaddafi they could be seventeen hundred armed groups across the country with no central leadership or unified agenda meanwhile some four hundred arms depos spread through libya but only a fraction of control by the government these caches can send some advance weaponry and thousands of anti-aircraft missiles reportedly go missing course in the wrong hands they could easily be used to say bring down a larger craft such as a passenger plane for some analysts the ongoing western interference is only
11:16 am
fueling the crisis to. the government is totally incapable of reining in these militias they're not going to disarm there's been a problem associated with bringing together the various militia groups but many of them are motivated by sectional interests criminal activity and we've seen the fruits of this over the last two weeks and then of course there's the international aspect as well other forces that are coming in from outside of libya also participating in the internal political struggles that are going on in libya itself and then of course we still have the ongoing role of the united states and these other western states who are continually interfering in the internal affairs of libya and now the united states is talking about training some five to seven thousand libyans to be a part of this new national army and this of course could cause even more consternation inside the country because many of these militia groups even though
11:17 am
they were against gadhafi they still do not support the u.s. or nato interfering in the internal affairs of libya at this stage the crisis is already see libya plummet to around ten percent of its previous level that's costing the economy has to eight hundred forty billion dollars a day militant groups are taking control of more than half of the country's all supplies in the resource rich eastern provinces the former self-proclaimed autonomy called said i care complete with its own shadow government an army tripoli has been unable to appease the separatists who want to start exporting the crude independently now but one expert thinks they can have a hard time finding a buyer. the on gangs lumping tool control the assets of oil production so that they count finance their activities they will not succeed and they will have also to repaired the damage to the oil in that's the third of that or more the major import that is like italy france
11:18 am
and germany will not deal with that they would rather buy oil from somewhere else but other than deal with the many she is. reporting next tonight a new batch of leaks provided by edward snowden show the n.s.a. has infiltrated over fifty thousand global computer networks with malware the us intelligence agencies reportedly been using a program to harvest sensitive information for purposes that have got little to do with national security according to investigative journalist and reporter david lyndal they are actually able to plant knees devices inside the servers that's a whole new level of. invasiveness and it's not just on the computers it's rate in the servers that the computers work through none of this is catching terrorists or even stopping terrorists this is really about something else
11:19 am
the terrorism is an excuse for having this massive spying and while it was snowden continues to be viewed as a traitor by washington post a campaign on the city's bus routes is putting across a very different message the scheme launched by free speech advocacy group calls on the public to take a stand against america's notorious surveillance operations and thanks the former cia man for exposing wrongdoing. revelations of government spying have been flooding the media for months now and american and british officials are worried that the worst is yet to come to another snowden avalanche this time the so-called doomsday tranche of highly sensitive and classified documents said to include the names of intelligence personnel employed by the u.s. and its allies r.t. dot com a website reports on a web t.v. reporting two of the cia practice of turning guantanamo bay prisoners into double agents to fight america's war on terror it's really interesting read you have a chance to get a minute or two dot com. in bahrain the clampdown on

conference interested italy but in a putin that rebuffed criticism of moscow over putting any kind of pressure on care let's take a listen. if we keep our free trade with kiev and this deal comes through we have every reason to believe that goods from the e.u. will go directly into the russian market but via ukraine either rich european made or marked as ukrainian and that poses a huge threat to our economy that's why i wanted to ask our friends in brussels my personal friends in the european commission to refrain from harsh statements do we really have to stifle an entire segment of our economy just to get them to like us . of course a correspondence will bring you more details on what the president had to say in the next more that coming up it's twenty two minutes past eight at night they are moscow's world views in brief to bring you now in portugal public frustrations boiling over as the government proposed introduce new spending cuts a large rallies taking place outside parliament in lisbon as the vote on the twenty

11:24 am
premier attacks in short. so a very different and it's not a job for everyone but there is a dead good living to be made out of it in a very specific kind of professional and taking as artie's peter all of a discovered while visiting europe's only academy offering a postgrad in post-mortem. a small town college class is like any other except for the coffin in the middle of the room that is these students are learning how to be undertake is. what i want to work on help people through that is a very difficult time when my grandmother died the funeral directors didn't do a great job and i saw the distress that caused my family this isn't a job it's a calling. the college in northern bavaria is the only one of its kind in europe each year they take about five hundred students on
11:25 am
a three year course rain or shine they are drilled for every eventuality. ok the buddies down all the guests have left but the police call and says this lady may have been poisoned and must be examined how do you get her out of there any ideas yeah. a lot of the course is spent on the job at local funeral parlor as despite the onus being on professionalism it doesn't leave the participants immune to the realities. do sometimes you know if there is a kid line there or someone my age it hits you hard for a gyal life can be the students don't just spend their time digging graves they also receive extensive studies in the not so me as well as lessons in how to deal with the deceased using some rather realistic props also the correct way to measure on build a coffin including those designed to fit the regulations for international travel.
11:26 am

11:27 am
one member of st petersburg's legislative assembly is trying to get child beauty pageants banned in russia starting with his hometown you know i couldn't agree more with this gent on this issue these kids beauty pageants not only put a ton of pressure on children to achieve something absolutely pointless but they're also a pedophile's dream come true and are well very very creepy but why are they creepy that's because whether you like it or not human beauty is related to sex so when you try to make children beautiful and wear bathing suits or let's just say active poses yet that's called sexualizing children and it's disgusting although adult beauty pageants are also sort of stupid at least the participants are all adults so see it because beauty pageants are obviously related to sexuality should be able to participate in them until you reach the age of consent in your country otherwise it
