five am in moscow i met good to have you with us our top story this hour a protest against ukraine shelving in each integration deal have been going on for more than a week and happening in the country's capital right now and these are peaceful scenes but police dispersed one rally with tear gas stun grenades and baton saturday demonstrators want the president to resign after he said no to europe or he's alexei or a chef he reports from kiev. until square was the stage of the mass protest of those supporting your integration and opposing president acknowledges decision not to sign the euro association deal in vilnius it is no longer the case right police now controlling the area during the night several hundred policemen came here and dispersed the crowd and eyewitnesses say that the dispersal was rather violent more than thirty people were arrested and more than forty had to be hospitalized with
8:02 pm
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 nobody 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 ukrainians thousands tens of thousands fact have been protesting against his decision i talked to some of them and i realize that not all of them were actually aware of what they were protesting against italy. greece. spain. portugal. and ukraine a similar picture but looks are deceiving well a number of european countries has been protesting against brussels policy ukraine
8:03 pm
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 for a hundred green. but the government was concerned that ukraine's domestic products would be swamped by cheaper 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 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. see reporting from key if in ukraine . kiev has become the center of the protest movement but staunchly pro e.u. leval of isn't far behind opposition activists from the country's western city plan to join private protestors in the capital kiev meanwhile wants the courts to ban demonstrations in the center until the start of next year european union officials spoke out against what they called excessive use of police force during the rallies political commentator alexander norcross of things it's hypocritical because of how some e.u. nations handled protests on their own land it's very weird for to hear that the european union leaders and especially the people in brussels condemning the ukrainian government for using the police to the two to deal with the demonstrates is unclear if i can tell you in any of those countries and europe britain. to go
8:05 pm
eat the only you name it police deal very ruthlessly with all demonstrate this especially if these demonstrations against the austerity which is imposed on these nations by brussels and for these same people to go and tell the ukrainian government that they are heavy handed with their demonstrate this is just hypocrisy . ukraine's presidential elections come up in early two thousand and fifteen any new plans to revisit the agreement sometime during that year kiev says it wasn't offered enough economic support from the e.u. but the block has said it won't change its terms artie's paul scott takes a look at how the deal fell apart. it's. a moment of power allowed access to the ukrainian president viktor yana cold which comes face to face with e.u. lead is for the first time since stilling one historic trade deal the whole thing caught on camera. i. think that already. occurred.
8:06 pm
to me. that it's clear that kiev decision to hold proceedings has rankled a ulead is following years of negotiations the e.u. since his outside influence we have to set aside short political calculations. and we may not give in to external pressure no the least for russia. says the financial deal also 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
8:07 pm
russia were rejected by the e.u. brussels finances may not allow them to increase the offer to kiev look at the european union massive ron paul 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 seams so a you depart to vilnius contemplating what might have been despite courting president on the coach they simply seemed unable to offer him a deal that was tempting enough scots vilnius lithuania. not just ukraine's government that was an assault on prospects for the e.u. more young people within the bloc joining far right wing movements which are often
8:08 pm
seen as offering an alternative to brussels policies saturday many of them took part in the we are the youth conference in the new capital capital activist ruben rossi a participated in a gathering in says what he thinks is behind the rise of the far right within the union. it's only greece spain and portugal finding a job it's that easy these days so of course people go looking for exposure to young people who go looking and searching for solutions and i think that there are some movements that can give these solutions to the problem today that's the capitalist and liberal system is cost the governments over the european union that day till to the. jumps people so we can see that people are looking for alternatives and not say that it's 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 starts to organize themselves

to prosecute people for war crimes and they're saying wait you mean to prosecute the lieutenant at this level but we've let his colonel go which created this kind of paradox one taught him a where if you are a big enough fish you potentially got a free ticket home and i 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 you're still at guantanamo and definite attention so the more guilty you are may have been better for you. if you're concerned about online privacy you can be sure that you're not alone london is playing host to the crypto festival annual event and to teaching people how to evade online surveillance and surf the net anonymously plus. when you go past a star and this is one twenty with a line through it the gloves are off baby you can drive. really government is off your back you germany germany is famous autobahns could soon face restrictions from

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 drive says drive as fast as you want is that. it's the country right now throughout the world for its. unlimited speeds germany could be said to fall foul of the regulations that could see drivers of 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 on your throats but come on you five trips on the notion that a slow down will save lives statistics also show a major accidents etc on the autobahn this is on the streets off side the
8:25 pm
autobahn and this is already very limited. and for some it's a clear indicator of the european commission overtaking which should be national musses the problem at the moment is that many of those rules are being made by the commission and not being subject to democratic accountability in the european parliament and that seems to me is 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 german drivers however have already made up their minds it will kill the joy of driving. i'm against speed limit it will cause 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 world for the e.u. to convince germans that their speed she'd be in the hands of brussels now till. i

8:27 pm
hundred thirty six olympics nazi pseudo science their self-proclaimed superiority was put on trial for the whole world to see and fight 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 acts 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 has really developed 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 have to say i think the olympic flame is kind of burnt out over the years although i have to. 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. there's
