from all of us here at r.t. international welcome to the program. with your live worldwide headlines police have dispersed an anti-government protest in the very heart of ukraine's capital using tear gas and batons right here this is are the latest pictures are from the scene right now more than a week in and people have been calling for the president to resign over the decision to cut back out of a trade deal with the e.u. the premier was shunned by the ukrainian leader during a key summit in vilnius this week e.u. officials had hoped it would strengthen his ties with the union and the president's lack of movement on the issue has only infuriated the protesting crowds even more. he has the latest. italy greece spain portugal ukraine similar picture looks are deceiving well a number of european countries has been protesting against brussels policy ukraine

is probably the only one where people are taking to the streets in tens of thousands to support the idea of your integration. to be in europe but this was not about being in the e.u. joining the union was not even on the table and brussels was offering no compensation for any potential economic losses the country already has a hundred thirty six billion dollars foreign debt and just modernizing factories to e.u. standards would have cost a staggering two hundred billion or more. the deal would have allowed us to get better education in europe but the two hundred page blueprint of the agreement never said anything about a visa free regime where he isn't about that my wife can go to poland and buy a lot of food for just ten her even though which is just over a dollar that's twice as much as i can buy here for a hundred greville but the government was concerned that ukraine's domestic products would be swamped by cheaper goods with russia shutting its doors to protect its own market the worst case scenario could have been factory closures and

a catastrophe unemployment rate despite that ukraine's leadership has hinted a deal may still materialize in march next year that would mean a longer winter on the streets for the angry crowds who are refusing to go home they want the president's head before they do. the r.t. reporting from key if in ukraine. now protesters believe the country's leadership hijack their future by leaving the e.u. trade deal on the scrapheap although warned that i hasty agreement would devastate the country's economy people still want in as kiev a looks to revisit the agreement possibly next year paul scott has been finding out what went wrong this time around. it's. a moment of on power allowed access the ukrainian president viktor yushchenko vits comes face to face with a huge lead as for the first time since stalling on an historic trade deal the whole thing caught on camera i think it was i think.

i made. any difference to us i think it's clear that kiev decision to hold proceedings has rankled a huge lead as following years of negotiations they you senses outside influence we have to set aside short term political calculations. and we may not give in to external pressure not the least from russia going to college it says the financial deal on offer isn't large enough to prevent damage to ukraine's flailing economy of course neither ukrainian businesses nor the government have this amount of money or will have any time soon that's why ukraine is not ready to take responsibilities he's not capable of fulfilling yet oh so where does this

leave the situation ukraine's proposals for trilateral talks with russia were rejected by the e.u. or brussels finances may not allow them to increase the offer to kiev look at the european union massive run column employment throughout the course of the union they have a euro currency project which is a fiasco realistically the only thing the european union can try to do is keep blame storming anybody russia who cares because the european union is ultimately falling apart at the same so the e.u. departs vilnius contemplating what might have been despite courting president they simply seemed unable to offer him a deal that was tempting enough pull scots r.t. vilnius lithuania. and as ukraine says no to the e.u. many within the bloc itself are saying no to its central policy or young

nationalists from belgium have invited revolutionaries from all over the continent to talk about how to fight liberalism we spoke to one political activist who's taking part in the we are the youth conference he says unemployment is ultimately the main driving force behind the rise of anti liberalism. in italy greece spain and portugal finding a job is not that easy these days so of course people go looking specially young people go looking and searching for solutions and i think that there are some movements that can give these solutions to the problems of today that the capitalist liberal system has cost the government over the european union that they totally don't care about the jobs of young people so we can see that people are looking for alternatives we cannot say that it's a fact a nationalist revolution we can just say that it's very logical thing to happen

it's a logical thing when people are left behind as they start to organize themselves and they start to think. i thank for joining us here on r.t. international guantanamo bay may have been a source for cia double agents media sources claim the secret service turned prisoners into spies sent them home with the promise of freedom safety and millions in cash according to the claims an installation was discovered near the controversial facility supposedly training the recruits in said the cia chose the prisoners considered the most dangerous for commission and there's been no concrete proof provided for the claim nice of a former pentagon security analyst michael maloof he says such double agents would have no way to go back to their enemies in their own countries. any exposure at any time like this of any secret program if there is one is always damaging. the question then is what is the relevance you send these guys back what tangible

basis do you have and in the follow up and actually recruiting and i think that's a serious question but they even have a revelation that such a program might even exist it could be very damaging to these individuals and i doubt that those who are in guantanamo now would really be able to go back without some suspicion being cast upon them and in guantanamo the more guilty you are the more chances you have to get out as a double agent that's the claim of colonel morris davis a former guantanamo bay chief prosecutor. would assume like in many organized crime cases sometimes you gotta make a deal with the devil to try to get someone further up the food chain i could take all some consternation from my prosecutors because in some cases we were asking them to prosecute people for war crimes and there's any way that you want to prosecute the lieutenant at this level but we've let his colonel go which created this kind of paradox of guantanamo where if you were

a big enough fish you potentially got a free ticket home and a wad of cash to take with you if you work you could potentially get prosecuted and if you're in that lower category the people would have been cleared you're still at guantanamo and definite the tensions of the more guilty you are may have been better for you. today the miracle of life we meet the palestinian women who have managed to start families despite their husbands being locked up in israeli jails for years. brussels apply the brakes. on autobahn famously allow drivers to go as fast as they want. in just a few short minutes.

one thing that i still can't understand. i don't want to good mood but i have this one question with. everything. that you give them all no. way but. it was a. he tried to restrain himself but look. if it really puts me off that i have such a father. it was one small but very great secret and i have to live with his.

face. a pleasure to have you with us here today i'm sure. for probably the most complex of. the phenomenon of friendly fire probably extends back to the invention of gunpowder

. kill a bunch of people. for their families they're really us people. reading. this something shoots my brother in the leg not intentional because it because it was night time or in the morning even the best even the belch soldiers. are going to make mistakes this is this whole idea of brotherhood and order. and camaraderie in this sense it was in this context that has absolutely no place. on live from moscow with the international trying to silence human rights activists not built it out job by keeping him in prison according to amnesty international

the campaigner has most of his two year money is now legally eligible for release but authorities there are in no rush to set him free now bill has been in jail since august last year for participating in anti-government protests critics say so that a brain it needs to be pressured by its allies cases such as this one. the government will release him if and only if there is significant pressure from behind allies meaning the united states of the united kingdom. in absence of that pressure i think the government will still trying to come in prison in line with their campaign of you know trying to prevent any sort of dissent or create any sort of safe space for dissent we saw dealy videos of nighttime bombardments of villages in behind with tear gas these are areas where there's no protests whatsoever going on the government just comes in and fires massive amounts of tear gas to punish citizens for expressing dissent or earlier protests so we're not seeing the use of tear gas and behind to disperse violent rioters as much as we're seeing it to

punish as a weapon of collective punishment we've seen the government try to hold the so-called national dialogue with the opposition but you can't really have this dialogue when there's there's so many political prisoners and representatives of the opposition major players in the opposition in prison. and we've got more and crackdown on dissent on our website dot com that's including the story about one human rights activist who went to the police to file a case but ended up arrested instead. now here's a tricky problem how do you start a family if your husband is in jail with a number of palestinian women have found a way by smuggling. out of israeli prisons they were driven to the desperate measure amid fears they'd be too old for motherhood at the time their partners were released reports. because whose son maybe yap enough that i knew he was born against all odds. then the fact that marge was

born has given us hope he's everything to us in the end we won despite all the obstacles for us he is the ultimate luxury mushed was born despite his father's absence adult career mother mommy is in israeli prison where he's been sentenced to twenty five years for murder lydia was afraid she'd no longer be able to have children by the time he got out and so instead of waiting for him she did the next best thing and arranged for his sperm to be smuggled out for the first time i went to visit my husband with his niece on the soldiers went crazy when they saw the baby like i was carrying a bomb they started asking questions like how come you have a baby smuggling sperm from prison is gaining popularity in the palestinian world but first the community must approve after this happens the procedure is quite straightforward the first thing they have to get. that they have a sample from that. they get if they get

a sample we ask the woman the wife of the prisoners to begin with they have to fiercely give a letter from here side and to first degree with the from her husband's side. to declare that this bill belonged to the door this woman as one of the sample can survive for up to forty eight hours before being frozen five years treatment. is three months pregnant her husband summer is serving an eighteen year sentence. this is i haven't had children for eleven years my husband was in prison all this time the first time in prison his wife got pregnant she basically gave hope to all of us . it's a puzzle for the israeli prison service in a mission statement they insist that security arrangements and inmates interactions with the visitors are carefully monitored which makes objects exchanged much more difficult they further vul to prevent any smuggling of any kind and none of the.

people we interviewed would give details of how the spin is smuggled out from under the watchful eye of prison guards there was almost no physical contact between security prisoners and their families but five babies have been born this way and eighteen women are pregnant. bringing a baby into this work in spite of the fact that he's father is in the jews not in this prison is a form of resistance. with bank. becoming too large for a moscow wave of quakes in the state of texas triggered suggestions they were made independent studies have shown that injecting explosive fluids into oil and gas wells known as fracking could be the culprit here and the latest rumble was a three point six magnitude quake the strongest in several years the process is allowing texas to free up its hard to reach resources and is therefore proving quite a droll for the big oil and gas corporations want to in texas calvin tillman he

believes harming the environment for cash could have irreversible effects some pretty good at it shows the injection wells we've seen all of the fracking noise is deposited in that they have been linked to these earthquakes and i think you have to be ghoulish to not think that all of things going on underground is going to have you know the long term stability of the earth at the legislative level the oil and gas industry has a significant influence probably more in the fact than they do in any other state in the united states or around the world the impact that this has i mean you know by the time that you. hear the noise and have the earthquakes and smelling the orders and your water has methane in it it's too late at that point and so you know the damage that is being done or that it's going to be non is going to go on for many many many years and it's not something that you're going to be able to undo.

or to cairo now to open up the let's get some other global headlines for you a brief capitol being shaken by anti-government protests resulting in at least eighty six arrests of security forces using tear gas the crowds responding with stones demonstrations solving days of defiance of a new law which bans gatherings without government consent at the recent arrests of many activists only adding fuel to the public anger over the military's grip on power. somali now with the two a reg separatist group has said it's ending a cease fire agreed upon with the government in june this following clashes between the army and demonstrators. protests in the capital bamako on thursday the people demanded french troops leave the country after a new president was elected. is maintaining more than three thousand soldiers in mali following a joint operation local troops against the rebels in joint. police in scotland say

there are numerous casualties after a helicopter crashed into a pub in glasgow one hundred twenty people were in the building when the police chopper with three people on board impacted the roof several are still said to be trapped inside at this point it's not clear what caused the crash. germany's autobahns are renowned for their limitless speed but strict rules may soon be applied to driving there as well as audrey's peter all of the reports such moves have been met with a huge amount of anger. when you go past the sign this is one twenty with a line through it the gloves are off baby you can drive you can drive really bad government is off your back in germany and you can drive the main drive as fast as you want. it's the country renowned throughout the world for its. unlimited speeds germany could be said to fall foul of the regulations that could see drivers

of the countries paying high performance cars limited to a maximum of about one hundred fifty kilometers an hour the planned clampdown would see stated with a device that automatically applies the brakes whenever a car exceeds the speed limit in the area the idea is to increase highway safety thirty thousand people die every year when your throats become manufacture is the notion that a slowdown will save lives statistics also show a major accidents. on the autobahn this is on the streets off side the autobahn and this is already very limited. and for some it's a clear indicator of the european commission overtaking which should be national matzos the problem at the moment is that many of those rules are being made by the commission and are not being subject to democratic accountability in the european

parliament and that seems to me is the source of a lot of the frustration and tensions in countries a decision on whether to move ahead with the idea is expected in the new year german drivers however have already made up their minds it will kill the joy of driving. i'm against speed limit it will cost those jobs but all the wall be will not allow that to happen people will fall asleep at that speed the whole reason we built beautiful roads was to drive on them properly it's going to be a tough one for the e.u. to convince germans that their speed should be in the hands of brussels down south so. i was dxed the germans from the french or roast beef to the british. not things are they going to want to give up control of easily . control of a. far more news here without international about half an hour's time next

i'll step aside for angry abby i mean not in breaking the set was the moment. one member of st petersburg's legislative assembly is trying to get child beauty pageants banned in russia starting with his hometown you know i couldn't agree more with this gent on this issue these kids beauty pageants not only put a ton of pressure on children to achieve something absolutely pointless but they're also a pedophile's dream come true and are well very very creepy but why are they creepy that's because whether you like it or not human beauty is related to sex so when you try to make children beautiful and wear bathing suits let's just say active poses yet that's called sexualizing children and it's disgusting although adult

beauty pageants are also sort of stupid at least the participants are all adults so i see it because beauty pageants are obviously related to sexuality should be able to participate in them until you reach the age of consent in your country otherwise it is just a pedophile buffet but that's just my opinion. bought up i'm not a martin and this is breaking the set so qatar is roughly the size of connecticut that the small persian gulf state is emerging as a major player on the world stage in fact it's set to host the twenty twenty two world cup of course an event this size requires an unimaginable amount of building and labor and that's where nepal comes in is in a country of two million people there are currently three hundred forty thousand

nepalese migrant workers many of which been assigned to world cup construction but according to several reports released by the guardian the workers face brutal working conditions long hours lack of pay and wretched living quarters and just yesterday it was confirmed that seventy napoli's labors have already died while working on world cup projects yet both the nepalese and qatari governments refuse to acknowledge this massive human rights problem so if you're sick of world powers treating migrant laborers like garbage and tell fifo to pressure qatar and put an end to this modern day slavery. the case. it was a really very hard to take a. look. at that or how to act with that or make their lives. look.

like. well d.c. is officially closed for business and of course the mainstream media is doing a wall to wall coverage on nothing but the shutdown. the united states government shut down our own that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo the two sides are digging in it is day number two of the government shutdown and the day begins with few answers as to how to break the logjam can honestly say that only the republicans are being sensible in all of this and only that and all the democrats are not being sensible really alice yes it's everyone's favorite game

show the capitol hill blame game first the clock was counting down to the shutdown and now the clock is counting up tell them what the american people won johnny actually nobody wins here in fact federal employees are the biggest losers of all as congress continues to twiddle their thumbs while still getting paid eight hundred thousand other government always won't be but while the corporate media is putting all the effort to treating this like a new year's countdown let's take a look at what they haven't been covering starting a new york where israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has turned to speak at the u.n. g.a. and after just a few syllables the focus of his speech was clear iran and the demonization of its new president. rouhani doesn't sound like a million new jobs but when it comes to iran's nuclear weapons program the only difference between them is this us of a do judge it was

a wolf in wolf's clothing who honey is a wolf in sheep's clothing a wolf who thinks he can pull the the wool over the eyes. of the international community. a wolf in sheep's clothing i'm shaking in my heels baby you're the man don't be fooled by this new leaders peace offering remember we've been warned before. there's a saying in tennessee i know it's in texas probably to see this just fool me once. shame. shame on you. if you can't get fooled again you fooled once. you can feel good again well ahead of the baby you didn't get that phrase generally right and he is one of the best when it comes to instilling fear in fact his central theme was talking about how you ronnie and missiles will be reaching u.s. shores in a matter of years and how secretive iran's nuclear program is of course once again

distracting the entire world from the one country that does have a secretive nuclear program and has never officially admitted to its existence yes you guessed it israel and while netanyahu ensures that we don't give peace a chance let's move on to my home state of california a state that has taken on the n.d.a. most notably section two hundred twenty one of the bill that allows for the indefinite detention of anyone without charges or trial and remember the government can simply cite national security reasons for walking you want to sell and throwing away the key but thankfully governor jerry brown in the california legislature are doing something that protect california citizens brown just signed a bill affectively blocking state cooperation with the federal government's attempts to indefinitely detain californians so cudos to at least one functioning government body that seems to remotely care about its citizenry i just hope the congressional clowns on capitol hill wrap up their dog and pony show before i run out of material.
