because according to the authorities they have information of certain provocative groups will be trying to incite riots and maybe even try attempts to take over the government building so obviously these people are unhappy with a gun is decision and they're still clinging to a slight hope that the deal may be still signed in vilnius despite strong assurances coming from ukraine's government from the prime minister from the foreign minister that the deal will not be signed but looking at the numbers and figures of potential economic damages it's easy to see why the korean government doesn't want to sign these deal let me break down some of these numbers for you do you charlie may have started a few people but it's no surprise to those who 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 it would have cost over one hundred billion dollars to modernize factories not all can so closures would trigger massive unemployment at risk if can not afford especially since the e.u. made it clear no immediate compensation then

3:05 am
big issues right down to things like the type of screws used on road signs and the gauge of railway tracks and those are things that really european countries can't afford to be paying for right now we're seeing eighty four million people on the brink of poverty across the european union this is according to the european union's own statistics organization youth unemployment is endemic across most of europe all of these things are leading europeans here in berlin to tell me that well europe should look to put its own financial problems correct before it starts taking on the debts of others. so it's not the e.u. already has plenty of problems in its own right at the moment for example bulgaria will be joining soon i will only create more were programs. we have ones i think yes this will be expensive we have not realized it yet but we just have to wait and see. it's hard to say there are plenty of problems in ukraine in any case if we

take them it should be done under different conditions. it seems year it may have dodged something of a financial bullet following ukraine's decision not to push closer ties. one reason ukraine shelled the e.u. deal was the international monetary fund severe terms foreign aid package included the freezing of salaries and additional harsh budget cuts we've got more else is on the story plus all the latest updates so had to r.t. dot com. police in the egyptian capital cairo have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse crowds protesting against a new law that restricts public gatherings. dozens of demonstrators have been arrested in the operation the bill requires police approval for public protests of more than ten people critics say the law is

a major blow to the marker as artie's bell true now reports. protesters today who took to the streets in defiance of this very oppressive new law they told me they felt like egypt to turn back time to the mubarak days when these kinds of brownies were swiftly moved from the streets by security forces who in fact to be given carte blanche to use violence to move people on so certainly feels like we've moved into a new era here in egypt people were fired on by tear gas and water cannons heavily beaten within moments of coming to the streets to protest in defiance of this particular new piece of legislation they were rounded up among those dozens that were arrested including sixty women and very well known activists including one human rights lawyer now this sparked uproar across the country egypt committee of fifty years in the last few days of drafting egypt's constitution had to suspend that session of the ten of its members walked out in anger over these arrests there's also been
3:08 am
a lot of comments made by egypt's political faction saying these protests will cannot continue. really yet to be seen what's going to happen but certainly egypt's feeling like it's moving into a new era where people can demonstrate people do have a voice of rights groups are saying is if it really have any crackdown on so it remains to be seen really whether the military backed government is going to be able to keep these very oppressive laws in place and keep restricting freedoms in this particularly tumultuous political time and coming up on our t.v. would take a look at the latest images from the syrian civil war. in this country engulfed in violence international mediators agree on a day to resume peace talks already shunned by the rebels fighting the regime in syria. britain is stirring into a color coded society with the u.k.'s white and asked nick minorities choosing to live apart that's according to a new study that warns of comfort zone segregation which could lead to division and
3:09 am
hostility between the communities are to sheriff earth has more on the worrying trend all that warnings that person could be drifting towards becoming a color coded society coming from the former head of the equalities and human rights commission trevor phillips now mr phillips has been leading some research with think tank demos and the university of london and what they've done is stated from between the two thousand and one census and the two thousand and eleven census and what they found is during that time more than one hundred thousand people from ethnic minority groups had moved out of london but instead of moving to areas considered predominantly whites of preferred instead to move to so-called mixed areas where there are already established minority groups now here in sheffield a local community has hit the headlines recent weeks the concerns raised over community tensions between the growth of population and other ethnic groups in the
3:10 am
community but what this research is saying is that this could be a person that we see played out across the u.k. the segregation really needs to be dressed and acknowledged because of course it does have very serious implications for community relations across the. aisle as estimated some six hundred thousand why britons a left london between two thousand and one and two thousand and eleven opting to move to areas with a high wide population eric housman professor of politics of the university of london says they're driven by the need to stay in the majority. one of the negative consequences is that you are getting whites british people avoiding very diverse areas so it's not because they dislike anyone group but they just want to be in a comfortable bitch already so you can get a situation where like in parts of east london new him or in parts of south london . each census there are fewer and fewer white british there and it is possible that
3:11 am
there will be areas that have very few to know or not know but very few white british people. and in the united states there are sections of the diverse cities like houston and los angeles where you are if there are very few white people living there and that could be a concern for integration so it's just that inability to attract retain white british population in some of these areas that are maybe not so close to central london but are not far enough away to be sort of leafy and green so it's that where you might get this effect also to come on the program in the local fashion a status my being impressed by visitors to moscow's iconic red square have been taken aback by the sight of a larger than life live aton suitcase that's been installed near the crown well coming up we'll take a look at the controversy surrounding the case. the

what is up y'all i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set you probably heard about arizona governor jan brewer for all the wrong reasons after all her love for private prisons and disdain for undocumented immigrants ranked her among the worst governors in the u.s. unfortunately this next story only helps cement her place on the list so it was recently disclosed that over six thousand child abuse claims across arizona have gone completely unvested and while that number refers to cases dating back to two thousand and nine the vast majority of them are only a few months old and while i'm not blaming birth for the abuse itself of course she did take office in two thousand and nine so every one of these cases happened under her watch at the very least she could have fired the man alternately responsible

for child protection in the state clarence carter ironically burr even said that fixing up arizona's troubled department of child protection services was a top priority as governor but it seems like she's been far more concerned with making sure all those brown people stay out of her state. of the. it was a. very hard to take. lightly that he ever had sex with her but there. was. such.

little. twelve guys i didn't think it was possible that the cia has officially ruined one of my all time favorite beatles songs that's right according to the associated press reporters out of goldman and not appear as though one in mccartney's classic penny lane was the code name for a multi-year long program to turn guantanamo prisoners into double agents goldman in a talk to nearly a dozen u.s. officials involved in the program and while they owe all chose to remain anonymous these are the same guys that uncovered the n.y.p.d. is enormous muslim surveillance operations so i think it's safe to say they have some credibility according to their reporting as hundreds of detainees began flooding into guantanamo in the years following nine eleven the cia just couldn't pass up the golden opportunity to put get no prisoners on the agency's payroll which is where penny lane comes in in two thousand and three it began as the unofficial name of
3:28 am
a cluster of cottages just outside of guantanamo's administrative offices after prisoners were identified as potential candidates for the operation they were taken from the confines of guantanamo as main prison and placed in these well kept cottages complete with patios full size beds and even a collection of pornography if requested by the detainee now keep in mind that during all of this the c.i. . i wasn't interested in the hundreds of prisoners that were sent to guantanamo on flimsy or nonexistent evidence nope in fact a prerequisite for those candidates is that they had significant and deep ties to al qaeda so that they could be you could be of use to the cia when released back into the world so while detainees with no terrorist ties continue to hold up in their cells of this day many of the most dangerous and violent detainees were freed long ago and placed inside of actual al qaeda cells you know i'm beginning to think the cia uses the showtime series homeland as a training video for its agents so just to get this straight the cia release is the
3:29 am
worst of the worst instead of trying them in an actual you call it trial court of law and with no guarantee that these so-called double agents won't immediately remember violent extremism and surprisingly penny lane was administered under the bush administration but when obama took office he called for a full review of the intelligence gathered from these double agents to help him carry out drone strikes because there's nothing like trust soon al-qaeda source to take out al qaeda and i write you know i'm not even surprised at this news anymore considering how the us has already bribed taliban warlords in iraq insurgents to not kill soldiers and private contractors during the occupations so i guess the real strategy behind the war on terror is that if you can't beat em pay them and then drone them.
