the latest news on the week's top stories this is that we can hail an international with me thanks for joining us and we'll start with breaking news this hour five policemen have reportedly been injured in the ukrainian capital protests as are using tear gas and throwing stones and attempts to break into the presidential administration building hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are on the streets despite a month long bond on ronnie's in the city center and all season exhale is that for us right now hi alex a so what's happening there. well things are getting very very violent here in kiev for what started as a peaceful and very huge protest with several hundred thousand people in the streets are now asserting into

a very very serious situation the activists of the nationalist party suborder have taken over the administration of president building in a very violent attempt we saw flash bangs and small grenades exploded they even they even used a bulldozer to break the police lines now we understand that they have entered the building and have already declared that this is the headquarters of the new revolution the surprising thing is that despite the huge presence of protesters in the streets we see very few right police and this was the situation that the administration of the president building was no exception there were maybe ten fifteen times more people storming the building than the policeman protecting it essentially the protest has changed in its in its essence it was about the government refusing to sign the euro association deal in vilnius during the summit now it is more about the people's rage because the government because the special forces dispersed a peaceful protest on friday and

a very violent untypically violent manner for ukraine and this is why the people are protesting in numbers here this issue ation is escalating it's changing every minute certainly will be keeping our viewers updated with that with what's happening here before the. time being let's watch the reports which describe the events which actually let's do this very interesting and very violent day for ukraine. from smiles to host tiles after key if said last week would not be signing a free trade pact with europe eva officials were jumping out of their skin to persuade president unocal the church. think it worth. it to me. but. i think you could see ropy and politicians were not too happy to hear the korean president citing economic troubles and as it became clear kiev was not going to sign the deal at this point paired with a violent dispersal of protests in the capital that's when europe assumed

a different tone we have to set aside short political calculations. and we may not give in to external pressure not the least from russia such tactics from europe which have been accusing russia of pressure in ukraine not to sign the free trade pact raised some eyebrows they should really really stop using the methods of the called world their blackmailing ukraine or to the e.u. offering no compensations to potential economic losses which could have been catastrophic in practical terms it would be a disaster for the ukrainian people it would mean gas prices going up the prices going up unemployment going up the industrialisation so i think in a kurdish really didn't have a choice the e.u. deal is a very bad one ukraine already has a staggering foreign debt of hundred thirty six billion euro and just more denies the factories to standards would have cost a staggering one hundred billion or more people in the street scared little about

such implications that we deserved to be nearer. the deal would have allowed us to get better education in europe during the week of central square was the stage of the mass protests of those supporting your integration opposing president acknowledges decision not to sign the euro association deal in vilnius and even in a typically violent dispersal of their week long sit in on friday night with dozens detained and injured did not stop the protesters still insist the deal with the e.u. will happen most likely in early twenty fifteen but after riot police come to peaceful protesters thousands are converging on the capital kiev to join the opposition's calls for unocal which to hand over the reins alexy resets the ante reporting from kiev in ukraine. and we're getting the latest reports from kiev now and as a so far fifteen police have been hospitalized in kiev and of course we'll keep you posted on the situation there and also for more on what's happening in

ukraine let's now talk live to political analyst alexander celie band of alexander welcome to our scene to year up to five hundred thousand people are reportedly out in kiev angry with the country's leadership can again in college survive this. i believe that this scenario very much resembles the orange revolution that. we are the world's sole not very far you go. in current situation this is very unlikely the ukrainian president will say he's power any seat so i believe russia will have to do it with another political leader in the ukraine very soon right away what we're seeing now the police appear to be taking a much more cautious approach forming friday nights crying down on protesters is that going to bed now the heavy handed down now. i don't think so with current

pressure from the european union that information campaign doubts. suppressing any you know hard on well you know hard actions from the president of the ukraine and with the kind of the. whole case of how to step down so he's going to take charge now and it was going to be responsibility it was is not very sure so i don't think we will have the world is going to see another action that are aimed to disperse the crowd i think the crowd will get what it wants but a revolution is the may thing being called for in the streets now no the signing of a deal a he deal if the opposition simply jumping on the chance for regime change here. you know when i said that they were a scenario we stuck on track that was all position can do really well they are always skilled in you know uprisings they're always skilled in right. they're

always skilled in you know ask a lady the conflict not peaceful resolution they're not really prepared to straighten out the power and down to handling the deal they want to fight and gold wants to see down of the table of negotiations so they do what they can do well nothing will. be ever have a nation is europe still going to want a partnership what this new unstable ukraine. well i believe. it's very much like the case of children and the war with russia in two thousand and eight when nato was thinking considering why not it why not accept the georgian bid for a nato membership now it's very much the same with the ukraine and its. association deal with the e.u. i think they are going to suspended for

a while but i believe they are waiting to see a new leader which will be more flexible in terms of whether to partner with russia are all with you and then the will have him sit down at the table of negotiations and they will i will want to that's what i think political analyst and xander said about the thank you very much indeed for your time and sound. and here's why the ukrainian government is under pressure now thousands of protesters as well as the opposition parliament want to move the country towards europe but the government things that's premature saying brussels is not offering parks like membership and the privileges was to europeans enjoy that. than there is a believe that live closer to europe would be cheaper but the government warns the deal would actually damage the economy for little compensation the opposition still insists kiruv should resist pressure from moscow but close economic ties with russia including a free trade zone

a shared business landscape and increased exports aimed to pull the states together and still mourn ukraine's turn away from the e.u. and the events it's provoking let's not talk to ben the publisher and editor of business in news europe mr ayers thank you very much indeed for being with us here on r.c. so if there were pollution happens in key of in ukraine right now of course it will affect the country's already ailing economy do you think that europe will be ready to help ukraine cope with its problems now. which is to europe over the last few days you know the core of it is clearly thrown in his lot with russia over to russia. ukraine. political instability it was the worst time in so much as the country is teetering on the edge of an economic crisis and they need cash and they needed as you previous because portugal russia can provide in the i did not. i was going to happen to you cranes trade with russia if the opposition in

key of achieves its goals of regime change. well i think that this is a regime change. piece of the orange revolution highly on i clearly see this could spiral out of hand i think we've just taken made a very. difficult political call here he believes that except the use of force which comes with the i.m.f. since distance on things like raising gas tariffs to houses which is very politically damaging for him is going to be less of a danger than topping out the opposition protests that we're seeing on the street he believes that he can actually see is its way through in fact i believe he went to. cynically total interest to try and get some face time with european leaders and he's been saying repeatedly that the e.u. do is still on and may possibly happen in the spring birds again the reports coming

out of illness when he actually talked to any of the leaders here she returned a rescue plan so he had no intention of doing it and he's trying to sort of find his way between. playing down the deal with russia keeping the ear aspirations of life in order to take the wind out of the demonstration which he thinks i have way after a certain amount of time that's his calculation whether it actually works. you see we have a hundred thousand people on my back today and they are very angry and so things are very much in the. way so interesting that the level of trade with the here is pretty much the same as it has with russia so what actually pushes kiev towards russia. well it's a question of money much is the country now has about twenty billion dollar and reserve currency reserves they have seven billion dollars of bond redemptions coming up next year plus they owe the russians another to your brothers for gas so

simply the country is bankrupt it needs financing from somewhere the bond market very close to. problem is in recession so they can't get it from texas i mean they've already started pumping skating many companies hard currency just write the revenues so he's desperate for cash and russia offers going to mediate solutions about just by could get gas prices right place to be immediately take the pressure off the projects and that way your forces believes he can see is very through the alternative was to do another i am there for the right but as i said that comes with very expensive for this process i think the research decided that he doesn't want to pay them rather take the a political money in russia. the u.n. has enough struggling economies of its own why do they need partnership with ukraine that they don't and i mean at the end of the day there's no reason for the ukraine be to let ukraine join in fact it would be an enormous headache i mean just

the. train would be extremely difficult just seemed to be given that we has to sort of come and i could probably policy and the. ukrainian would be a very very large contributions and i don't see how they're going to but it's to do with values and i think there's underlying this is also that elements of cold war i mean there was grab ukraine bring it into the european fold before russia can grab it and bring it into what's been called you know the remake of the soviet union which he says the regime reckon the russians be building and without ukraine participation backtrace the european you know that you need doesn't need sides russia is very keen to get free barrys editor and publisher of business news say europe thank you very much indeed for your time thank you the protests in ukraine have been going on for a week now and for the details of the movement as well as more on the ukraine e.u.

deal that's not to bail you can always log on to our website. antonis coming out after a very short break stay with us. weeks between thanksgiving and christmas in the united states a conflict roughly twenty percent of annual most topics during that period of time people are much less rational one day when they self yes certainly in our modern era people are often spending money that they don't have and spending it on things they don't need to accomplish what they have.

what is the fate of the house of saud on its list of complaints against washington is long and getting longer the saudis are furious over western dealings with iran disappointed that obama didn't bomb syria and one of its only real friends in the region is israel given all of this chemical house of saud afford what it calls an independent one paul. well. it's technology innovations all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. here watching the weekly on our international welcome back this week's on diplomatic differences exposed by the historian deal between six world powers and iran now with atomic ambitions by cutting back on its nuclear program tehran will

say economic sanctions softened or that the deal is still just a small and cautious step as a point to boycott reports. it's a deal that's eluded diplomats for a decade and as the crucial make or break iran letelier talks continued into the night details of how they were going for alluding the journalists camped out in geneva so we waited and waited and waited while diplomats from six world powers and iran inched their way closer to an historic breakthrough than after sixteen hours a tweet from the e.u.'s top diplomat a deal had been done. to the six negotiating powers agreed to recognize iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy including its right to enrichment under the condition that this program is placed under strict control by the i.a.e.a. issued. as we received word of the agreement we got details to iran had agreed to

reduce its uranium enrichment from twenty to a maximum of five percent use fewer centrifuges while halting construction of a new reactor near the town of iraq. throughout this long list of concessions iran's foreign minister still had a smile on his face in return he won for his country a partial easing of sanctions allowing tarantula gain control of billions of dollars worth of much needed funds in foreign banks we believe that it is the sanctions that have brought us to this negotiation and ultimately to the more significant negotiation to follow for a car brands of agreement others have stressed that it wasn't the stress of more punitive measures but diplomacy that won the day over the night in the case of these talks the fact that that the iranians have shown time after time that there is no evidence that iran's nuclear program is anything but peaceful is something

that has been ignored by the western media and western governments but this despite all that iran's real civilians has forced these countries to accept. enrichment and again the russians and the chinese have played a very constructive role and i don't think that sanctions played as much of a role as a recognition by the united states and britain and other countries that we need to engage iran because iran is becoming increasingly influential it is only an interim agreement in six months time well now it's time to run i said to return to the negotiating table but after ten years failed. it remains scientists in the middle of the night it's a game changer polyploid a hot seat to meet. not everyone is happy with the iran deal hawks on capitol hill israeli hardliners and disgruntled shakes in the gulf states such as

some of those who are angry and political battles the white house faces to make this agreement stick. today that diplomacy opened up a new path toward a world that is more secure and flying in the face of president obama what was completed in geneva. last night in small is sort of agreement. it's a story in state. it's not new a safer place in an environment where israel as well as many u.s. lawmakers don't think that iran should develop nuclear technology at all the obama administration had to engage in diplomatic acrobatics to both acknowledge iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy and not acknowledge it at the same time we approach these negotiations with a basic understanding of iran like any nation should be able to access peaceful nuclear energy but because of its record of violating its obligations iran must

accept strict limitations on its nuclear program that make it impossible to develop a nuclear weapon the scope and role of iran's enrichment as is set forth in the language within this document says that iran's peaceful nuclear program is subject to a negotiation. and to mutual agreement despite the official's attempts to appease the hawks punches are flying it looks like we've tacitly agreed that they will be enriching for commercial purposes down the road so i think you're going to see on capitol hill again a bipartisan effort to try to make sure that this is not the final agreement another senator marco rubio call the deal quote a blow to our allies in the region who are already concerned about america's commitment to their security and i think a lot of people both in the middle east and on capitol hill are very concerned that this interim deal becomes the new norm opponents of the deal in washington and

abroad are already working not to let it survive the six month trial the obama administration is walking on eggshells before congress israel and its allies in the coffers it's trying to convey a carefully worded message which is you cannot threaten war all the time in washington i'm going to check out it's been a critical week for scotland in the lone need up to the vote on independence late next year leave the attic sound launched a way to document laying out toward him labeled a mission statement for the nations he tests and see that looks now on the key points put forward by the probably independence movement. should scotland be an independent country it's a six word question that requires a simple yes or no but breaking a three hundred year old doing it could hardly be simple and the scots are not taking it lightly as it stands only about thirty percent of scots say they will

vote for independence a figure those in the yes camp hope to increase by presenting that much anticipated white paper which a scottish national party says has the answers to all the questions about independence the prime minister david cameron and those belonging to the no cabin says that independence is laden with risks and problems with warnings on just about everything taxes and debt the no camp suggests and higher taxes e.u. membership london says scotland could forget about it the trident nuclear program david cameron claims getting rid of it is a bad idea in case of a north korean nuclear attack and there might even be roaming charges on mobile phones if the split happens and the list goes on it's dubbed project fear by the yes camp and they accuse the government of scare mongering scots into voting no and they insist the white paper will prove that independence would bring about a jobs boom and a thriving economy concerns that resonate with voters this white paper answer some

six hundred fifty questions and the details here really are key there are two main categories here one those that will be negotiated during the transition period and another of those will be made to if an independent scottish government is indeed formed they promise indeed a lot of breaking down of all the policies they want to pursue let's listen to a bit of what they said we would call a halt to damaging which mr policies are pushing soo many people into poverty abolish the bedroom tax and ensure that the incomes of the speed keep peace with the course of living the main crux of the matter here is that many critics are pointing out asking if this white paper is going to be presenting the plan b. because a lot of the premises presented requires another party in the. what is the part of the bag of england that the british government or new member states in terms of new membership what if they don't agree to what alex salmond has has been proposing but he said that he is confident that everything that's contained in six hundred

seventy pages will be addressing every single question if anything this white paper is going to be a springboard for even more debates in the months to come and now back to our breaking news story this hour protests are escalation in ukraine with reports of up to fifteen policeman injured in unrest let's now get the latest from alex. he's joining us now live from kiev so alexei what's going on there. what started as a peaceful and huge protest is getting ugly by the minute we were already seeing an attempt by the protesters to take over the administration of the president building they actually tried to use a bulldozer to break police lines tear gas was used to flash bangs were deployed it's unclear who actually used the police all the protestors but we do know and we saw it with our own eyes that protesters have been throwing rocks at the police and we have information of fifty policemen seriously injured as a result of this clash we also know that activists of the nationalist party

snowboarder have taken over the city administration of kiev and set it up as the headquarters of the new revolution as they as they're calling it the tension is certainly very very high right here at the independence square we are hearing open calls from the opposition politicians talking from the stage to the people. and forceful change of regime so this is clearly something unexpected but we understand that this is the essential change of the protests for the whole last week people who are protesting against the government's decision not to sign a free trade zone agreement with the european union now it's all about the rage towards the authorities still was the president and the government because on friday night a peaceful rally peaceful protest at the independence square was brutally dispersed by the police this is the main factor why thousands literally hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets in you know in what is clearly the biggest protests since two thousand and four and we've already heard unconfirmed information coming from

sources here coming from several agencies in ukraine that the authorities are now contemplating imposing a state of emergency in the country if things are going to escalate. reporting there live from the ukrainian capital i say thank you very much and up next a wild upon. 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 will very very creepy but why are they creepy that's because with the like you are not human beauty is related to sex so when you

try to make children beautiful and wear bathing suits or let's just say active poses yeah 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 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. on the welcome to the world that's part of the holiday shopping season just around the corner some of us can't wait to join the bargain hunting well obviously the idea of having to shop for gas how to survive the many temptations and pressures of the

holiday season without causing a down both to your finances onto your relationship to the fact that i'm now i'm joined by environmental fake ologist and consumer behavior guru on the hill thank you very much for your time sir now the tradition of giving gifts is usually thought of as something well and. as something that is mounting hands social relationships social interactions but i think it is it's almost become an obligation if you fail to come up with gifts for a new year all christmas you may suffer a certain social consequences i wonder how much of that is due to the moguls of consumerism who i guess would benefit from filling this pressure to buy something even if it's something that is totally useless being a good gift gift giver is giving the tokens of your feelings toward someone else.
