8:02 am
a rather rather violent more than thirty people were arrested and more than forty had to be hospitalized with different injuries right police cordoned off the area not letting anyone inside the square and while the opposition is still contemplating the next move people are literally enraged with what happened this night know what he actually expected that this rally would be dispersed especially considering that for the last three or four days it was very very peaceful and no clashes no violence was reported the fact is that many grain is thousands tens of thousands facts have been protesting against a conscious decision i talk to some of them and i realize that not all of them were actually aware of what they were protesting against let's have a look at my report. italy. greece. spain. for.

you right similar picture looks are deceiving one 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 are human and yet we deserve to be in europe and i should use the deal would have allowed us to get better education in europe but this was not about being in the e.u. joining the union was not even on the table the two hundred page blueprint of the agreement never said anything about a visa free regime and we are hugely 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 four hundred greville but the government was concerned that ukraine's domestic products would be swarmed by cheaper e.q. goods the worst case scenario could have been factory closures and a catastrophe unemployment rate and brussels was offering no compensation for any potential economic losses but 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 a look see or show us the r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. protests to say crane's leadership over in hopes for a better future by rejecting the e.u. deal but the government says there were economic dangers to making a hasty agreement kiev says it well review the deal next year on his paul scott takes a look at what went wrong this time. it's. a moment of unparalleled access to the ukrainian president viktor young a cold which comes face to face with e.u. leaders for the first time since stalling on an historic trade deal the whole thing caught on camera. i. think.
8:05 am
it's clear that kiev decision to hold proceedings has rankled e.u. leaders following years of negotiations the e.u. 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. as 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 is 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 entire 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. depart vilnius contemplating what might have been despite courting president in the cove h. they simply seemed unable to offer him a deal that was tempting enough pull scott r.t. vilnius lithuania is going to be a complicated balancing act for ukraine's president between russian and the e.u. becoming a. partner at moscow based consulting firm marker advisory. brushes of a stronger financial position to offer a better deal to ukraine in that time period my assumption is that president young a covert will try to avoid having to make

a definitive decision either way until after the research team elections if you were to come out today and say we are definitely moving closer to russia that would inflame the political situation and would lead to a very difficult kind of situation for the next twelve months on the other hand of course he can say or as he's already not said you know we're moving to the european union away for russia so my guess is he'll try to pave all sides over the next winter probably over the next twelve months until after the next election and see what he can extract from both sides in the meantime. ukraine's reluctance to strengthen trade with a few cans amid criticism that the blog has lost direction i'll turn to a right wing groups across the continent fighting against what they see as liberalism and want to forge any sense of identity and one political

activist who is taking part in the we are the youth conference and he believes the young people in particular are being forgotten by the elite. 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 a capitalist and 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 can not 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. the cia an unlikely source of talent according to media reports it's been suggested that at the beginning of america's war on terror going tunnel bay prisoners were turned into spies they double agents were promised freedom and safety and sent home with pockets of cash in exchange for providing the u.s. with intelligence from abroad the process of recruitment and training was apparently carried out in secret court edges not far from the detention camp designs to feel more like hotel rooms and prison cells dozens of inmates were reportedly offered a job while only a handful agreed former pentagon security analyst michael maloof explained to us why. 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
8:10 am
and i think that's a serious question but to 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 in guantanamo the more guilty you are the more trials you have of being used as a double agent that's the claim of cannel morris davis a former gun tunnel bait chief prosecutor. would assume like in many organized crime cases sometimes you got to make a deal with the devil to try to get someone further up the food chain i can tell you call some consternation for my prosecutors because in some cases we are asking them to prosecute people for war crimes and they're saying wait you want to prosecute the lieutenant at this level but we've let his colonel go which created this kind of paradox one taught him where if you were a big enough fish you potentially got a free ticket home in
8:11 am
a wad of cash to take with you if you weren't you could potentially get prosecuted and if you're in that lower category the people who have been cleared are still at guantanamo and the tension so the more guilty you are may have been better for you one hundred of babies become the symbols of hope a split in women over coming to start families with their husbands or languishing in this raid he trails find out how they did this. also we told you so anti fracking activists point to a series of increasingly powerful ass quakes in taxes as dangers of shale gas drilling. on the money with the business of russia.

this is international coming to live from moscow welcome back on. the scene to national believes bahrain is more interested in silencing dissent than seeking justice after authorities refused to release opposition leader in a builder job from jail there rights groups there was no reason to keep him up as he has said most of his two year term so is eligible for release but mas that from bahrain watch as only a national pressure can force bahrain to change course the government will release him different only if there is significant pressure from behind allies meaning the
8:15 am
united states or 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 in 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 writers there's so many political prisoners and representatives of the opposition the major players in the opposition in prison. slamming the brakes on german roads the one still raining counters no limits motorways by imposing speed

a rustic area of texas perplexed by a string of increasingly strong quakes battering local communities residents of the believe they know the cause blaming the hundreds of local shale gas fracking sites that the process involves pumping thousands of tons of toxic chemicals to literally dissolve rocks on the ground it's been argued for years that fracking could potentially cause us quakes but that's been hard to back out with dates or under for maine texas calvin tillman believes harming the environment for cash could have a vast oil effect. some pretty good at it shows the injection wells which all of the fracking noise is deposited in that they have been linked to these are required and i think you have to be foolish to not think that all of things going on underground is going to affect you know the long term stability of the earth at the legislative level the oil and gas industry has significant influence probably more

twenty with a line through it the gloves are off baby you can drive you can drive really government is off your back in germany and you can drive the main drive as fast as you want is that. 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 a around one hundred fifteen kilometers an hour the planned 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 on your throats but can manufacture is the notion that a slow down will save lives statistics. accidents etc. 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 masses 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 in tensions in countries a decision on whether to move ahead with the idea is expected in the new german drivers however have already made up their minds it will kill the joy of driving. i am against speed limit it will cost us jobs but i 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. and thus

alto bond i was dxed the germans was from the french or roast beef to the british. not things are they going to want to give up control of easily. control of the team in. this is c international up next states people have out and on the money. 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
8:27 am
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 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 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 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.
8:28 am
i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just knew that everything would be fine for some reason as it were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back how could he not come back because the mere thought of it never crossed our minds. the militants decided to try and break through and i heard you again screaming grenade. go. boom will run his back he rules. a little and it was all over all. we know that our comrades on our commander won't leave us no matter how tough it gets we're team. there is getting was a senior in his military trio. he knew that if he didn't smother that grenade with his body more of just comrades would die he gave his own life to save his friend's
