russia sledge hockey team is training harder than ever for its debut games. this is actually coming to you live from moscow with me marina joshie welcome to the program. protests continue in ukraine against the government's rejection of an e.u. trade deal and association agreement and that's as an e.u. summit is set to start in the lithuanian capital vilnius where ukraine's president promised to explain to the blocs leaders why they turned down the path i do like here in kiev for us. protests continue in kiev they have been very peaceful over the past several days but this may well be calm before the storm because everyone is waiting for the eastern partnership summit in vilnius and the biggest question is whether the u.s.o.c. should deal between brussels and key it will be signed the opposition already says
4:02 am
that if it will not be signed they'll be taking people into the streets on a massive national wide strike and inside what they describe as a euro revolution would in any case the euro association deal is not only causing a tension on the ground here in kiev but also the diplomatic level while moscow and brussels are still trying to find out who blackmailed who over this deal some european politicians are coming to keep their waste no time to energize the crowds from the stage with the fiery speeches one speech by a lithuanian a parliamentary speaker caused controversy and some sort of pressure on the ukrainian government in these words let's listen and i congratulate the people of ukraine as you have gathered here to stand for the european future of your country and if you any a has already torn its path to becoming a member of the european union if you any and trust that the ukrainian people will make the right choice well after the speech was made by the least twenty and upon entry speaker. a high ranking diplomat of the twenty nine was you were summoned to

the ukrainian foreign minister to provide explanations so you can see that it's not only causing tension on the ground but also the diplomatic level we do know that ukrainian president got a call which is traveling to vilnius but the biggest question is whether or not he will sign the euro so sation deal in the least when he and capital right now we have stonewall assurances from the great in government refund by the prime minister by the foreign minister by the president himself that the deal is off as it stands but in the rollercoaster ride which is the great in politics you can never say anything with complete certainty and there's still a chance that you know congress may bow down to the pressure which is applied on him by the protesting crowds in kiev and sign this deal my colleague paul scott will be in the least we. covered all covering the summit day i will of course provide all the details on developments from the ukrainian capital all the e.u. says ukraine still has time to change its mind over the signing of the deal we spoke to paul and tell from the panel's party and he believes there is why disregard for the risks of ukraine's integration into the union. they don't know

first. let me show you what it's like here is the sledge what it is this is the blade and this small area is the seat. which means it's terribly unsteady like you are just imagine you have to keep your balance and simultaneously carry the puck you keep falling down and it takes a lot of time to get back up but now with that. these third chalky players the road just so she hasn't been easy it's taken an immense amount of hard work personal sacrifice and dedication but the payoff is that it's just on the eyes the principles of football it's 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 leave or you can set your goals to achieve. seek out from the parties to leave egypt russia.

a state without nationality that may sound strange but for some it's a reality people in israel cannot be documented as being israeli and as a policy or discovers a united national identity could be an important step towards anding discrimination in the country the us has uncle sam russia has the bear frons has mario on and israel has a question mark if nothing else it's weird and france you're french in the united states you're american in south africa you're south african but here in israel you cannot be registered as israeli i'm though the only low you can come from moscow. and demand to be registered nationality. but you can not there man. it's a totally absurd situation in israel's population registry there are one hundred
4:22 am
thirty five recognized nations people are listed as jews arab druze and more but never as israeli and the most seem ok with that it's the mountain meaning it is the same the nation is the jewish nation and it has a jewish nation state in the proclamation of independence and the un resolution of november the twenty ninth one nine hundred forty seven which says that a jewish state would be formed not an israeli world if a person was to be identified as is waiting in the national registry it would challenge the claim that israel is a jewish country something the supreme court is aware of as is all we have mary and a group of israelis petitioning for change there already is a lot. different about form an arab set of them this is something to accept it's not that more crowd take reward despicably long. all of that. but for now the supreme court has dismissed the case leaving the debate on what is an israeli open
4:23 am
for years it was truly created by one of the country's greatest caricaturists camile goddaughter better known as dorsch but slick is clearly jewish as a question of whether the show yet ok give him up or a young man because israel was still young state and slowly he created the new israeli national guard more with the sure what happened with their neighbors palestinians included but they weren't part of the character. like the registry cyrillic lives in a world where culture faith and history are more defining then one's present and by all accounts it's likely to remain that way at least for the nearest future and israel without israelis. r t hold on. and you're watching r.t. international coming up is there a solution to the age old problem of hunger or boycott. scott says that the president of the world food prize dr king is queen and that's in worlds apart.
4:24 am
i hate to be a downer but i really think the olympics have lost all meaning in the past when there was the cold war it was like a battle between two ideologies taking place in the abstract and the one nine hundred thirty six olympics nazi pseudo science their self-proclaimed superiority was put on trial for the whole world to see and spent the olympics having the majority of the countries on earth participating they're now horribly horribly bland one could argue that they have become a great way for countries to show off their ex used to build up some infrastructure by think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand a lympics in beijing yes china is really develop in the last twenty years but the olympics really teach us anything about this country with a radically different political system or anything about their ancient culture or the way they think or the way they live no nothing at all all we saw were some
4:25 am
flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yeah i hate to say it but i think the olympic flame is kind of burnt out over the years although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind of neat i think that when and if the world ever becomes an ideological battle ground again and then the olympics will become worth watching but for now it's just generic sports from generic countries of generic stadiums but that's just my opinion. i know c.n.n. m s n b c news have taken some nuts lately but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny. it's closer to the truth just like take. off the. goods because one whole attention in the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on. the people.
4:26 am
that are teenagers we have a different brain. with no because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. you got us into the jokes we'll handle today i said that. this is the plays that has been consecrated to god for almost a thousand of years people came here twenty some years ago and so are you stablished me and i stick life on the silent. and people feel the love of christ all working. people say you can. come but something happens on this island that makes them return to it again and
4:27 am
again they say the below saves them. join me james brown on a journey for the soul. only on o.t. . hello and welcome to worlds apart millions of people ever all in the western world will join hands and if things giving prayers today praising the lord for the food on their table and down throwing about a third of it into the trash can in the meantime millions of others will go to sleep hungry can we ever solve the age old problem of hunger and what is the best way to do it to discuss that i'm now joined by cannot quinn president of the world what price and a former u.s. ambassador to can void if ambassador quinn it's
4:28 am
a great honor to have you on the show well i'm very delighted to be with you and i want to wish you a very happy thanksgiving to all of your viewers thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday in the united states it's one that no matter what your back grown what your ethnicity what your religion is it's something that your nights all americans absolutely and things giving and is associated with food and i believe that you said once that the greatest challenge that humanity faces today is whether we'll be able to feed the in the nine billion people who are expected to populate this planet by the year two thousand and fifty now some experts would say that absolutely we can so the problem is not so much whether the planet can produce enough food there are some would argue that it already produces enough to feed everybody but rather how we can distribute this food fairly and so that nobody goes to sleep hungry well i think absolutely right that food distribution is
4:29 am
a huge issue and we do right know this year and twenty thirteen produce enough food to feed everyone sustainably and nutritiously and the question is. how do you get it there and you're absolutely right that about a third of the food is lost post-harvest lost and then food that is thrown away. not all consumed and this is a problem and that's why the world food prize was created by dr norman borlaug to find the breakthrough achievements that will deal with all of all of those issues and the ambassador queen i think the focus that you organization is making is more on our culture and sustainable production rather than distribution and sustainable management don't you think that it would be wise to share.
