the in the. no deal of the e.u. summit here in real news concludes without ukraine signing the association agreement however the e.u. insisting all foot remains on the table does up thousands are still in the streets of ukrainian cities both supporting and opposing the president's decision it's been peaceful so far but who knows this may well be a call before the storm. turns by tap on and nothing came out which was very frightening that the air was degraded horrible a lot of fear and hacks trying sly. those side effects of fracking one to not communities in texas and also having to cope with us quakes which some of blaming on this new method of training. i began to have some serious philosophical reservations about what the fed was doing and i decided to apologize

to america. as the black friday shopping someone kicks off in the glass we'll look at where the wild buying spree of the federal reserve has landed the american economy five years after it started. international news live from moscow this is our senior national with me you know. and welcome to the program. e.u. leaders have failed in their fight to move ukraine closer to europe president yet in comics refused an association deal during an eastern bloc summit in vilnius meanwhile in ukraine's capital kiev thousands are keeping up round the clock protest to try and push the government into cozying up to europe and earlier i

spoke to paul scott and. then following the events for as expected in vilnius has concluded without ukraine assigning that association agreement however on friday the president of the european council herman van rompuy he's hopeful that the deal can be revisited at a later date. remains clear. of signing the most ambitious agreement the european union has ever offered to a nonmember state is still on the table so the e.u. insists that the offer is still on the table however it is a deal that low house already rejected president. maintaining that the deal of the financial deal on offer from brussels was not adequate for his country right now saying he left his country feeling many ated now congress called the moment he came face to face with. heads of state for the very first time since tooling decision

now the lithuanian president was present you can just about make him out on tape saying but if he signs the agreement he says to me on a car i'm going to merkel says we expected more we being the european union in this case now going to cove it justifies his decision to me by saying the economic situation in ukraine is very difficult we are facing serious threats and of course a precondition jailed opposition leader yulia tymoshenko be released to go to germany for medical medical treatment on her back was never likely to be agreed in the ukrainian parliament so for now president of coverage has given a no to the deal in its current form and have scale has meant and they meant they must have public projects thinking how are people reacting to the news if it's still pretty much in protest mode just as many other ukrainian cities all across the country protests are taking place right now at the independence square we have a little more than ten thousand of those who are opposing the president's decision clearly furious with the fact that ukraine did not sign the euro cessation deal

today on the other square just a few hundred meters from here we have the supporters of the presidential party who are saying that this was a right brooke a magic move the biggest question as to how long these protests will last provided that would be only as has come to an end now it is certain that ukraine will not be signing this deal that's also a big question who will be leading this potential protest. because all the opposition leaders and obviously they are the key factors here in leading the protest movement they are still in vilnius but we are certainly expecting numbers to grow here i did abandon square as the day progresses as a working hours finish in kiev we also heard that the people here are planning to stage a unique form of protest to life human chain from the independence square to the border with the european union to the border with poland that six hundred kilometers from here and we also already heard about several incidents with clashes between the two opposing political camps so the situation is pretty much out of knives despite looking peaceful so far and certainly will be following what's

happening in gear in the next several hours. at the real news summit the president of the european commission was once again critical of russia's at the moment let's listen in for a bilateral agreement between dupion union and crane there should be no trilateral for. the times of limited sovereignty over europe and right and i'm sure i'm less punchy young has told our saying that here up is just trying to divert attention from its own witness it. if the european union's leaders whether individually or collectively started admitting to their shortcomings there'd be no end of problems wouldn't there i mean look at the european union massive run down employment throughout the course of the entire union we've got things like fifty percent plus use on employment in several mediterranean countries they have a year old currency project which is a fiasco of course what we have is

a petulant president barroso who's extremely upset because the eastern word expansion of the european union has for the first time in twenty years been checked and it's been checked because when you korean read the small print of the deal they realise that actually they couldn't possibly manage to make the thing work it was going to render short term huge economic difficulties for ukraine and this is a country for whom actually most of their trade is to the east twenty percent with the likes of russia six or seven percent with turkey in fact the only european union country really on the radar would have been its neighbor poland. on our website or gather x. percent pinion on the e.u. ukrainian association deal so to find out more what's behind. head on line to r.t. dot com.

the holiday shopping season has kicked off in the last with some retailers breaking tradition by pushing their opening hours into thanksgiving night instead of waiting for the official start on black friday and it's been exactly five years since the u.s. federal reserve began its own and president the chopping spree back in two thousand and eight it unveiled the largest stimulus package in u.s. history and that's now see just how it all panned out by handing out too many mortgages and as foundational troubles play boras people. couldn't repay their debt and the us federal reserve launched a massive program that of bond purchases printing more cash and buying a bond loans by pouring more money into the banks they intended to help the average american by driving down the cost of credit so that more people could survive the financial meltdown but it turned out to be a big win for wolves trade more than the taxpayer and with

a reported increase in boras again missing that credit payments any rise in interest rates could leave a lot of people in severe trouble while she's more important i met one of those behind the fed's experimenter who now sees that as 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 busting deals oddly enough the federal reserve bank has also used this pseudo holiday to launch its own president did spending spree otherwise known as want to teach it easy two thousand and four prices the fed began buying up massive bonds to drive down the cost of credit and experiment at helping main street as the program marks its five year anniversary the former fed official who called spearhead quantitative easing is publicly apologizing to

all americans for the role he played his name is andrew who sar and he joins me now andrew what is so bad about quantitative easing that you thought you had to publicly apologize to the entire country i believe we have a very big wakeup call with the financial crisis five years ago we got we realize we have the economy that was over we were lying on wall street where all the banks had become too big and too to call to trade it for the larger economy and what i feel wanted to want to use it all to me is dog. to reinforce. that structure in the u.s. economy and all the benefits of cuba have all truly 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 and 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 to moderate is worth doing is that not only helping but it may actually be hurting for four more dramatic u.s. economy there's a political fallout in washington after anonymous u.s. officials revealed the details of a secret cia program they claim the agency bribed and recruited some al qaeda members held in guantanamo bay during the presidency of george w. bush the double agents were then allegedly set free and allowed to reinfiltrate the ranks of terrorists let's now bring in former pentagon security analyst michael maloof live from washington d.c. mr miller welcome to wait to talk to you again as always how's your you're going in and out all the time can you hear me now i can hear you know ok from time voiced

fire from that arroyo and i would tell him what i'd see and then he would clear me hot and the decision was on me for when to fire as the face of war changed those restrictions became greater and greater and greater we we could not loose weapons and towards the end of our occupation in iraq we were weapons tight it took. the president to say yes that somebody would destroy. good laboratory. was to build a new. mission to teach me. why you should. only.

olympic torch now president vladimir putin for the stadium itself which is quite unique it is a shaped like a seashell and to myself is be a 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 know 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 seoul she

come twenty fourteen. and not to say he should have announced in talks to form interim pilot about his killing missions abroad 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 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 i think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand lympics and beijing yet 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 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 a generic stadiums but that's just my opinion. i think. everybody. should you know the price is the only

industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy back albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press to mco we've been hijacked why a handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem to try rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing us to find a job ready to join the movement then walk a bit. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some not slightly 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 but it's close and for the truth and might think. it's because one full attention in the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here good to be coming up. at our teen years we have a different pretty. good though because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not i look. at. you guys stick to the jokes well handle the thing i said i've got to. deliberate design it's a big journey to suck. one hundred twenty three days. through two
