no deal european leaders failed to reveal the rumors of an agreement with kiev and the ukrainian president refuses to revive the towards. so the sound on the west spirals and as one. police climbed down on protesters outraged jail sentences slumped on a group of women for a peaceful demonstration. with the black friday shopping mall and kicking off in the west we'll look at the wild buying spree old the federal reserve and where it's taking the american economy.

very well welcome to international. law and let's go straight to a main story now ukraine will not be reviving its plans for signing a pod with the the blank failed to convince president he had a call that year in the eastern partnership summit the gathering is underway in lithuania and also he's poles called took a behind the scenes look at the event for. since kiev announced that they would not be signing that association agreement with the e.u. one of the interesting questions has been how would european leaders responded last night we got a little insight we saw european leaders and heads of state arrive on the red carpet for an informal dinner on thursday evening and cameras were allowed in to capture those those meetings the first meetings really between european leaders and president on the coverts now he was clearly coming under pressure you can hear the lithuanian president say but if you signed the agreement well german chancellor

angela merkel says to the president going to cope which we expected more we being the european union going to cope which then can be just about her to defend is to justify his decision to mark the economic situation in ukraine is very difficult we are facing serious threats are not appears to be one of the main stumbling blocks and one of the reasons that you know the coverage is standing so far in the six hundred million euros that are on offer from the e.u. and the international monetary fund as part of this deal is just in adequate for ukraine so says president at this moment he says that offer and that figure left his country feeling humiliated well of course the precondition of allowing jailed opposition leader yulia tymoshenko to germany for medical treatment was something that proved by the ukrainian government meanwhile in care of mass demonstrations are being staged against the government's decision to show the trade pact with the

europe our correspondent alex here avar. we had already heard from the opposition figures from the opposition politicians that they will be willing to take people into the streets and even inside what they call a euro revolution in case the deal will not be signed so we probably expecting more and more people to come to the independence square in kiev we also heard about their intention to form a human chain from the central square in kiev to the border with poland in western ukraine that's about six hundred kilometers that would take half a million people to do that it's a certain a question whether they will be able to pull it off so as i've said they are clinging to this hope that the deal will be signed but according to the assurances coming from the ukrainian government it seems very very unlikely because of the damages and economic threats that the country may suffer we spoke to the former finance minister of the country is the source of or told us that the country simply don't have enough money to a complete all the regulations of the european union that would cost more than one

hundred billion euros of course neither ukrainian businesses nor the government have this amount of money or will have any time soon that's when ukraine is not ready to take responsibilities he's not capable of fulfilling when to stand up the protests will certainly be expanding as the day progresses more people becoming here the question is will be leading those protests because all the opposition politicians are now in vilnius as well and we know that the e.u. officials will be meeting them today to discuss the protests the potential of signing the e.u.'s illustration deal. a you need is a now saying an agreement could be possible when a new president comes to power in ukraine however chalice and paul castellano clung myleene spotless and ukraine i'm better off without a chance. e.u. doesn't need the ukraine really i mean the e.u. is is close to bankruptcy itself a lot of the country the if you're a bankrupt or very close to it and you think the e.u. will be concentrating on trying to save the world its priority portugal italy and spain but it is it wants to expand it's all right for west of the e.u.

fanatics to sit there in brussels or london to say ukraine should join the e.u. treaty so on this trade deal with the things he in practical terms would be a disaster for the ukrainian people it would be gas prices going up the prices going up unemployment going up the industrialized nations so i think going to really didn't have a choice. and peter allen his guys the debate ukraine's rejects it and just how attractive the deal was for king when the furnace plays bass and today's car stock for. the fact is the european union doesn't have money to hand out ukraine needs an awful lot of money and everyone knows that the european union and its member states are broke they have debt up to their eyeballs and they can't afford to pay their own bills let alone other peoples both russia and the european union like integration with ukraine but unocal over to the end of the day just said it's not a good enough deal i think the only call it is government trying to probe and see where that the european union would be able to provide some financial assistance

and also whether it would be willing to notch the i.m.f. to be more lenient and maybe have softer preconditions for unlocking the loans however the european union made it very clear that they're not going to make any concessions. on our website who have gathered expert opinion on the e.u. ukrainian association deal so to find out more on what's behind. head online to assay dot com. in ager meantime a student demonstrator has been cold as cairo university has become the latest battleground of antigovernment protests against a bertold police quieted down. i. just clashed

with fine tear gas to disperse the crowds who were chanting down with military rule a nineteen year old student died in this council's after sustaining face whole batch of injuries physically as well rocking the country by a new government law banning more than ten people gathering without their mission their coats often caught right. harsh jail sentences given to twenty one young women i cannot exam to who were arrested in october for protesting in support of islam as president mohamed morsi who was ousted in july by the military now sportiness those women have to be given eleven years in jail for supposedly holding weapons and assaulting police officers seven of them on mine is that just fifteen years old sixteen years old their families say they were just protesting on the corniche of an exam to holding balloons handing out flyers now it's not just islamist protesters who have been cracked down on we've also got elected activists who have being arrested so the new protest by the government which was issued

a few days ago and for him it's any protests happened without permission from the interior ministry the latest news we've had is a gyptian blogger. who is one of the key voices of the journey to be part of the nation he's picked up the his wife beaten he was being summoned by the general prosecutor for inciting protests he is of course a liberal leftist activist showing that it's not just the islamists who would be targeted the question is whether the government can continue this has been massive opposition from a lot of the political factions including comments from one of the maybe people. he does hundreds of but he used to be a presidential hopeful he tweeted austin the interim president to pardon these girls who've been sentenced and there's been no question there was about this new protest last name for it to be looked at again so the question remains whether this military led government will be able to continue this crackdown and continue issuing these very difficult laws on restricting freedoms. the day also they take

black friday exactly five years ago the federal reserve announced its own unprecedented shopping spree but it's hardly been helping america's economy in upward and i am one of those behind the experiment because things it was a big mistake. black friday the day after thanksgiving is america's busiest shopping day of the year millions standing in lines for hours or even days before stampeding into stores to snag door buster deals oddly enough the federal reserve bank has also used this pseudo holiday to launch its own on precedented spending spree otherwise known as want to t. that easy two thousand the financial crisis the fed began buying up massive bonds to drive down the cost of credit and experiment pitched at helping main street as the program marks its five year anniversary the former fed official who helped spearhead the quantitative easing is publicly apologizing to all americans for the

role he played his name is andrew use are and he joins me now andrew what is so bad about quantitative easing that you felt you had to publicly apologize to the entire country i believe we have a very big wake up call with the financial crisis five years ago we had a we realize we have this economy that was over we were lying on wall street where the banks and become too big and too too concentrated for the larger economy and what i feel quality quantities it all to me has done is to reinforce. that structure in the u.s. economy and a lot of the benefits of q.e. have ultimately gone to the banks rather to to main street america so if we see that over the course of five years those that have benefited from q e have been the richest people in the united states of the richest companies the richest banks in the majority of americans are not benefiting from this and why is still continuing

the problem is. the fed at this point is the only one doing something and so it feels like it keeps on having to do something to help mild the argument is what it's doing is it not only helping but it may actually be hurting for four more dramatically the u.s. economy. and let's not look back at two thousand and eight when the fed unveiled its largest single us package in the u.s. history by lending too many mortgages out and not getting their money back and as financial troubles plagued boris while the federal reserve bank comes to rescue a program of massive bull and touch says printing more cash and buying the bond loans from the ailing banks that by pouring more money into the banks they intended to help the average joe driving down the cost of credit so that more americans could survive the financial meltdown but it turned out to be a big win for wall street and not the tocs pez with the boers increasingly missing

their credit payments it means interest rates are about to go through the roof the publisher of trans channel challenge leonti owns a great consequences that the only reason there is any recovery going on in the united states or for that matter the european zone is that interest rates are at record lows so as i mentioned you could buy an automobile with zero percent and what there go it what's going to happen when interest rates go up the housing market again collapses the auto market collapses and worse than that the bond market collapses and so you're going to start seeing a decline again in people paying mortgages more foreclosures happening and that's when interest rates go up because when interest rates go up this phony recovery we have in the housing market is going to stop and a lot of the new people that got into the market are going to have trouble paying

as the olympic torch continues its momentous truth from the drop greatest heights to extreme depths those raring to compete at century twenty fourteen us wearing a towel sagat in shape for the winter games there was says he has also been put through its paces ahead of the sporting spectacular among wants a report from the centerpiece of the black sea resort. i'm standing inside of the fish a limb pig a stadium which will host the opening as well as the closing ceremonies for the olympic and paralympic of twenty fourteen now president vladimir putin will be here a little bit later to tour the stadium itself which keeping everything under wraps we don't want to show you everything as a this is going to be the home of the olympic torch as well as for those opening

closing ceremonies the finished a stadium is quite unique it is a shaped like a seashell and to myself that is the black sea and to my left is the mountainous cluster where all the beautiful alpine ski resorts are being prepared for the athletes as well as the spectators are wonderful quite unique about the stadium is the fact that it is made out of glass so while you're when it's sunny the sun is reflected up on it and you can really see why it was chosen to be the host stadium for the olympics and of course there will be no sporting activities happening here because it is kept for the opening and closing ceremonies and after the olympics it will be used for twenty eight feet for the world cup so we're here everything is almost ready and we're just waiting for the final nails and balls to be put in on the fish a stadium and of course

a president which has already stemmed russia ready to host the world in salt she come twenty fourteen. up next i'll see international links at a transgender tragedy his name is jane eyre is just ahead. 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 at 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 it's quite the olympics having the majority of the countries on earth participating there are now horribly horribly

bland one could argue that they have become a great way for countries to show off their excuse to build up some infrastructure by i think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand a lympics in beijing yes china is really developed 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 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 into 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 a generic stadiums but that's just my opinion. says the media leave us so we leave the people. motions so to the. party

there's a. push is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics only on our team. you know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy shrek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked like handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem try to fix rational
