what's happening is that the media and certainly congress is overselling this. day before the e.u. summit towards eastern european partners public fury in ukraine refuses to die down as the government has a tate's and signing up to trade deals also they are not disability with their own will with unlimited bills with a hundred days to go before the paralympians take over at the sochi winter games are teammates amount of money to turn his life around on the ice rink last. egypt orders the arrest of two prominent activists who spearheaded regime change in twenty eleven as police chase anyone defying the new law which restricts public gatherings. and the crackdown on terror here in the russian capital where police say they've arrested a group of heavily armed islamic extremists. good

evening it's nine pm here my name is kevin owen this is our top story the breaking news the italian senate in the last hours voted to expel former first prime minister silvio berlusconi from parliament of his conviction for tax fraud a larger than life billionaires lead the country for most of the past two decades he addressed his supporters in rome before the vote saying it was a day of mourning for at least democracy before being removed from parliament rather bigger move from parliament means the seventy seven year old is now stripped of political immunity and could now be arrested on criminal charges we bring you more details as we get them. there's an eastern european economic get together starting on thursday but there's one country in the wings having trouble making up its mind he crane is seeing days

of violence and protests demanding that their president signs closer ties with the e.u. even though he knows being hasty could be costly. protesters still continue in kiev they lost it overnight despite temperatures dropping well below zero and right now several thousand people are besieging the government building in central kiev and there's been a warning coming from the authorities for the general public to abstain from any kind of provocations because they had information that some provocative groups were preparing some royals and even an impossible attempt to take over the government building that's why you can see there's heavy police presence riot police are all over the place i when i walked here to the government building i saw literally hundreds of riot police all over the place there securing every governmental building the parliament of the government building and the administration of president building and judging by the fact that these people have ten camps across the city they're not willing to go anywhere until friday until the summit in vilnius still clinging to this last hope of signing your association deal during

the eastern partnership summit even though there are serious assurances coming from the government that this deal will not be signed ukraine's decision has also started a political street fight between brussels and moscow as the two traded accusations of pressuring kiev. 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. the fear is that with the free trade agreement already in place with key of the russian market could be flooded with european goods that could destroy entire industries and see tens of thousands of people out of work. but those camping out in kiev central square are adamant about becoming part of europe despite the risks to their own country's economic health. well it could be ongoing public unrest and kid from day one follow up on instagram for his images

from the very heart of the demonstrations. ukraine's dire economic conditions are being cited as them. same reason lawmakers backed away from the e. deal a burning correspondence been hearing reaction in europe with some believing it can't afford to accommodate here. ukraine's decision not to push for closer association with the e.u. could turn out to be a blessing for those european countries there was going to have to be some two hundred thousand pieces of regulation that would have had to have been changed to allow ukraine to fit into this new partnership all of which would have had to have being paid for by the european countries now these pieces of regulation range from quite 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 eurostar the

european union's own statistics organized nation 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 were problems if you know what sean's i think yes this will be expensive we have not realized it yet but we just have to wait and see i am a gives canoe 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. but it seems year it may have dodged something of a financial bullet following ukraine's decision not to push for those closer ties. we also spoke to people not all from the u.k.

independence party he says many ukrainians are europeans fail to appreciate the risks attached to the association agreement. they don't know enough about the problems that you're up how low the european union wants create ukraine to eventually join they will albania to join they won't say happy it's a joint i mean they even want to take you to join you know ninety five percent of say he isn't even in europe i mean this is an expansionist organization reem britain certainly don't want ukraine to join the european union because if they join that means our borders will be opened up to forty six million ukrainians and in ukraine the average wage is around three hundred euro moment and we know that if they do join a lot of them will come west and at the moment we have twenty two percent youth unemployment in britain and we can saturate out all market any further with any more people.

it's just over ten weeks to go until the such a winter olympic games and the countdown to the paralympics has just reached one hundred two is to say with the latest on the preparations. certainly a hundred days before the paralympics kick off the twenty fourth and this day was marked a specially by president. made a surprise visit to the city to check for himself if the infrastructure and everything around around sochi it's of find and ready for the start of day now the president toured around the infrastructure facilities and was quite impressed even giving the thumbs up and saying that everyone who's come into the situ be able to enjoy. the city as well as the olympics the balance so will starts on the seventh of march until the sixteenth. that's almost nine days are all balled limping

feeble as well as sportsmanship now russia has been taking really important step in making sure the disabled kids for last year they actually read to. convention know the whites people with disabilities and then in the same day yeah they went on to introduce a program that made accessibility environmentally easy for the disabled so indeed those infrastructures have been seen they've been in place a. transport system with the stadiums the restaurants hotels all ready to welcome those with disabilities not only the athletes but also the spectators noble the athletes will be preparing themselves for aiming for that gold will be almost seven hundred athletes competing in the paralympics there's also around forty five countries who will be taking ponte seven disciplines a five sport and a newly introduced so called apparent snowboarding which has had everybody excited

here in sochi and my colleague catherine often met up with the the russian paralympics the hockey team to find out how they're preparing for that gold. ice hockey as it should be intense fierce determined and fast. like you still hockey just with two sticks one in each hand with extra risks. you're constantly flying around at high speeds collisions in everything it's all crazy fast and tireless commitment because. we're here training all the time morning to night every day these seventeen paralympic athletes are in the twenty fourteen russia sled hockey team and thirty six year old is their captain he was injured in two thousand and two while serving in the russian military in chechnya a little filled with before the age of twenty five i used to have

a completely different life. but after the injury i turned to sports to realize my potential. he went from swimming to taking up a chance to join russia's brand new sledge hockey squad. for the worker your words no one is going to bring you things on a silver platter but here we had an opportunity to work for it since two thousand and nine when we were told we were going to participate in the paralympics it's been our driving force in a country that struggled to accommodate people's disabilities russia's paralympic coach says the team is helping to change perceptions in the demos there were a few minutes we're going to need more of these guys managed to prove to themselves their relatives and the entire society that they're not people with disabilities but people with limited abilities. he has been a part of paralympic since one thousand nine hundred four but this is the first year that russia will compete this board only came here few years ago is by d.m.

remembers before the move we were just staring at one another not really knowing what to do first of all let me show you. here is the sledge what it is this is the blade and this small area is the seat. which means it's terribly unsteady your just imagine you have to keep your balance and simultaneously carry the puck you keep falling down then it takes a lot of time to get back up but now we're skilled at it. these search party players the really just so she hasn't been easy it's taken an immense amount of hard work personal sacrifice and dedication but the payoff isn't just on the ice the crucible of the pop world after this experience i believe that people who have survived a car crash or a plane crash will look at us and realize that even with an injury like that you can live on it you can set your own goals and achieve them. you see captain of our team to the region russia. and egyptian prosecutors ordered the arrest of

two leading activists known for their major role in toppling longstanding dictator hosni mubarak and two of the eleven the news comes after police broke off several protests in cairo under a new law that bans demonstrations of more than ten people without permission though true reports from the capital. we expect protesters to once again return to the streets against this very oppressive law which security forces basically enforced on cheers day as those mass public outrage at the behavior of the police towards protesters who were just standing peacefully for a few minutes and that's all the time they were given demonstrating now just before midnight on tuesday we had reports from fifteen prominent activist female activists that he had been sexually assaulted beaten and dumped in the desert after being part of those who were arrested on tuesday for this demonstration this sparked uproar across the country egypt's committee of fifty supposed to be drafting

egypt's constitution suspended its session and many of the political parties called for the draft law to be revised saying that this was a return to the days of hosni mubarak where protests were basically a jew to emergency law the situation in egypt has obviously been deteriorating in the last few months but this new protest more effectively restricts demonstrations in some case criminalizing protesters not allowing people to even gather for a few minutes on the streets in numbers above ten. means you need to do food it was a good place to get the news coming out of that part of the world from us will have details of the major c. ter road here in moscow the. news the couple of minutes after the short break. do you think humanity as a whole would benefit from living found parts of the wall g.m.o. free just to play on the safe side through biotechnology research

with think tank demos and the university of london and what they've done is analyze data from between the two thousand and one census and the t. 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 white have preferred instead to move to so-called mixed areas where there are already established minority groups now here in sheffield the local community has hit the headlines over recent weeks the concerns raised over community tensions between the roma population and other ethnic groups in that community but what this research is saying is that this could be a pattern that we see played out across the u.k. the segregation really needs to be trashed and acknowledged because of course it does have very serious implications for community relations across the.

way to run six hundred thousand white britons left london in the last decade to settle in other parts of the country the predominant lee white politics professor kofman from the university of london believes that driven by the need to stay in the majority one of the negative consequences is that you're getting white british people avoid being very different serious 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 or parts of south london. each census there are fewer and fewer white british. the areas that have very few you know not know but very few white british people living there we see the same trend in the united states there are sections of the diverse cities like houston and los angeles where there are there are very few white people living there and that could be a concern for integration so it's just that inability to attract or 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 the fact is we started off break news about silvio berlusconi we've got more on it now let's have dates just to remind you the italian senate within the last hours were to expel the former prime minister silvio berlusconi from parliament over his conviction for tax fraud the larger than life billionaires led the country for most of the past two decades but this expulsion now puts a six year freeze on his political career he addressed his supporters in rome before the vote saying it was a day of mourning for italy's democracy being removed from parliament to means the seventy seven year old is now stripped of political immunity crucially could now be arrested on criminal charges as we get more details about this a big story coming from italy tonight we'll of course update you you know what you know. more world news in brief demonstrations in bangkok invented
