chaos in kiev hundreds of thousands of pro e.u. protesters battled police and stormed government buildings in the ukrainian capital there demanding that president quit for not signing a trade deal with europe. a breakthrough nuclear agreement reached between iran and six world powers is met with angry statements from iranian hardliners in israel and capitol hill hawks who claim the deal is a failure. of. scottish independence movement launching its manifesto. he would also call a halt to damaging to pull the seas and pushing so many people into pull the teeth but critics say the way the text is heavy on detail but light on facts.

seven am in moscow i'm at treasure bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news up to one hundred sixty five people most of them police have been wounded in street battles in the ukrainian capital sunday's ban on demonstrations that didn't stop hundreds of thousands of pro e.u. protesters from throwing bricks at officers and storming government buildings artie's alexei has more from kiev. tensions are dying down here in the central capital although still it's pretty much at a knife edge ten twenty thousand protesting in the central square the city administration building was earlier taken over by the activist of a nationalist party they now describe it as the headquarters of the new revolution another boiling point here is the building of the administration of ukraine's president earlier during the day we saw enormous clashes happening at this building

as a standoff continues with protesters and the police i went there and i saw the situation how it was straight after a huge huge brawl with the police the building of the administration of ukraine's president now under siege with several hundred riot policemen protecting the building the center buses so that the protesters cannot reach inside and these few a few meters basically maybe twenty meters between them and the protesters we've walked here we saw literally maybe several hundred of them over here we see shattered glass you can see probably over here some shattered glass on the ground or rocks which were used to throw a bit to throw at the police several hours ago the protesters that tried to assault a building the even used a bulldozer to try to break the police lines as we can see there fail the police are pretty much in control over here even though we're not even being let inside this perimeter because of the policeman appearing that it clashes my. at any minute it's actually quite hard to speak here because of all the tear gas which was used

still pretty much felt in the air and the situation is still very very tense here another incident i witnessed with my own eyes the group of some activists attempted to take down the lenin monument in central kiev and also the police came to the scene tried to protect the monument in central kiev the focus of the protests has now shifted from the decision disagreement with the current government that it did not sign the free trade agreement with the european union to rage at the government's actions particularly dispersing. the peaceful protest on friday night or rather a typically brutal dispersal by the police and this is the main reason why so many people have taken to the streets there demanding the impeachment of the president the demanding the resignation of the government and we saw how activists a certain political movement set up steel fences around the central area blocking it for traffic but some statements coming from politicians here suggesting that

things may calm down starting on monday because the speaker of the ukrainian parliament has called on the ruling party members of government and the opposition to sit at the same table to negotiate how things will result in ukraine to avoid any more confrontations we also have this is not a good time to push but some sources are suggesting that the delegation of ukraine's government may be traveling to europe next week to read to go see aid to the euro association deal but again this information is yet to be officially confirmed by the ukrainian government. ukrainian police have told protesters they need to leave the city council building or avail conduct an operation to clear it out this is inside the city council video that you're seeing here from archy's video agency ruptly where protesters are apparently barricaded inside these are some of the updates that alexei is also tweeting for us you can follow him on twitter for the latest from kiev. demonstrators are calling for a new ukrainian president now because victory on a covert refused to sign with the e.u.

professor mark all mind oxford historian thinks the street protesters don't speak for the majority of ukrainians. i think we should because we've attributing what's going on to the majority of people in ukraine i suspect that the tragedy of the greatest great majority of people around the passive uncertain world of dissolution about politics when both equation the risk now is that we have a political so to minorities and it may be that the group home the streets with kind of paramilitary nationalists support the west not just western from some of the were pretty new countries they feel able to strip states of kind of who was seen in any one time a certain time and this could change go but it could lead to a very violent situation and it could be a question but for the ukraine. it was a state. of the west in general would prefer to free the winners out of this and they hope that the standard through which we will shoot him so for now the forty five against the world will handle this crisis very well so far that he will try to

curry favor back with us is a good. maybe simply there is nothing the rest of ukrainian situation easily all simply. take a look at why the ukrainian government is taking so much heat for not signing the e.u. deal the opposition insists that a move toward europe is the right one but the government doesn't see it that way because brussels isn't offering the membership or other privileges that most europeans get plus yannick over its indicated that the e.u. didn't offer enough cash to help combat the country's economic woes still many are saying there are major financial advantages to working with europe e.u. leaders for instance claim ukraine's economy would be boosted by more than six percent in that businesses would save money on import duties ukraine's leadership though thinks the deal could actually cause an economic downturn and we have heard some e.u. officials say that kiev was pressured by moscow not to sign the foreign ministers of sweden and poland among the latest to do so ukraine already has a free trade agreement with russia that gives it increased exports and other

advantages to the east associate professor of political economy jeffrey summers says why he thinks the ukrainian economy could be hurt by the strengthening trade relations with the e.u. . if we take a look at eastward expansion of the e.u. we can see that it has in the past produced dnd us realisation in the east labor migration from the east to the west and so we've also seen west european consumer products dumped in the east and i think that the e.u. is again experiencing of course of the past four five years economic crisis and it sees further eastward expansion as a way to resolve their own problems in west europe. so who will end up benefiting from the ongoing unrest current affairs blogger anatoly karl and things neither the government nor the opposition may get anything out of it. i don't think and you boys it's the fact that because. they don't get the east.

although. these make the village equal to each there's also going to be all of the evil thing in the whole thing this. will be. this this silence so i don't think it will then that the opposition. has that and that it well it's obviously nothing you do and you. think it's funny because the snake that full of the it's not state it's that is that the faint i mean. that it would believe in its favor focus more on that the thing that's not excited to think that the gangs. check out our t. dot com for the latest videos photos and news updates from kiev also online a timeline of events in case you missed out on.

becoming weaker iran and six world powers set to drive the first steps towards implementing the nuclear deal that was recently sealed in geneva the process though is not expected to be a smooth one although seen as a diplomatic breakthrough the already agreement has already faced fierce criticism from tehran longstanding foes in the region as well as hardliners within iran and hawks on capitol hill or he's got a cheeky on his the view from washington. 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 cute in geneva. last night in small store i mean. 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 now on 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 its survival the six month trial the obama administration is walking on egg shells before congress israel and its allies in the golf as 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 under the preliminary deal in the coming six months or iran is expected to partially whole uranium enrichment in exchange for an easing of economic sanctions middle east expert gwynneth tog things though the agreement wasn't brought about by international pressure on iran but instead its

growing influence. this is a multilateral effort. it's too important a country to ignore and meet to open the door 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 and what we're seeing is a paradox where the sunni muslim governments of the gulf are suddenly finding themselves in with israel and looking very bad while the iranian shiite influence is helping the palestinians and creating a completely new playing field. the u.s. state of texas shaken recently by a string of increasing earthquakes some of its residents pointing the finger at controversial fracking technology calling for it to be banned.

these are all the parts that when into making this or where there's progress there could be dangerous still to come on the program a report on technology know how that allows the creation of functioning guns with the use of a three d. printer. first has been a critical week for scotland in the long lead up to a vote on independence late next year neither alex salmond launched a way to document laying out what he labeled the mission statement for the nation's future or these tests are so you look at the key points put forward by the pro 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 in the car this is laden with risks and problems with warnings on just about everything taxes and debt the suggest 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've sist 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 answers some six hundred fifty questions and the details here really are two main categories here one those that will be negotiated during the transition period and another of

those will be made if an independent scottish government is 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 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 negotiation. what if the part of the bag of england that the british government or even e.u. member states in terms of e.u. membership what if they don't agree to what alex salmond has been proposing but he said that he is confident 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 we spoke with jonathan shafi

co-founder of the radical independence campaign he expressed concerns about the document. for me some of the main headlines just how different the scottish government's approach to economic incentives and comparison to basements of the discussion so far has been one in which what we've seen from the new campaign has been nothing concerning. the leaves of people on the left and we see new ideas about how the woods for example start to think about the raising living standards of redistributing wealth in fact what we've seen is the opposite of that we've seen them put forward ideas that are going to maximize the bill for the very top of society you know everything and this white people would agree with but i think what we've got to see is that this is the i hope a much broader discussion on what sort of school that we want to live in a school scuffle could have much more serious consequences than just a black eye for one student he suffered a brain injury and remains in a coma after

printed metal gun we wanted to showcase the abilities of what direct metal can do eric much later is a project coordinator at solid concepts company specializing in three d. printing young prince or in the arts he was granted an exclusive tour of their austin facility which boasts ten three d. industrial printers and a glimpse of our technological future these are all of the three d. printed parts that went into making this car after getting a federal firearms license the company used a process called direct metal laser centering to produce this browning nine hundred eleven pistol the three d. printed in metal gun has fired over one thousand rounds in the meantime solid concepts has manufactured its second nineteen eleven firearm solid concepts insists the stainless steel firearm they've introduced to the world can't be replicated by hobbyists these machines start at six hundred thousand and go up to

a million dollars they need to be in industrial environments they require more electricity than is available in residential areas and it will be years before metal printers become available on the consumer market not exactly the world's first mini metal maker has already been created and with laser centering patents set to expire in february it's predicted that metal desktop printers will hit the consumer market before you know it as the world has learned the convenience of technology has a downside we all loved the internet cell phones e-mail and social media before finding out that our beloved data is being monitored and stored by the n.s.a. . the astonishing capability of three d. metal printers is no law. a secret. so when they become a part of our households have alongside the microwave and flat screen t.v. . what people choose to physically in the privacy of their home thank you will be

beyond the control. arena point i am r.t. texas the first functional three d. printed gun created in may of this year by was a single shot model made of plastic six months later it was developed into a fully functional metal copy of the world's most iconic handgun and expert in the field says the biggest danger is the hidden ability of three d. printing firearms to take any shape. it's a very universal kind of technology that can be used in lots of different ways some some good some not so good but it is alarming that people have started printing guns i would say the most dangerous thing is let's say a gun that doesn't look like a gun but looks like the flower vase or something else and so that is this ability to make things in any shape and for really defies a lot of the conventional thinking around regulating guns around detecting them and so forth and i think that's sort of it's

a whole new world when it comes to controlling these kinds of things a new countdown just started for russia as a lympics city of sochi in one hundred days the winter power olympic games begin there one of russia's medal hopefuls is the sled hockey team which is competing for the very first time artie's lucy catherine of joined in them in training. i copied as it should be intense fierce determined and. like you it still hockey just with two sticks one in each hand with extra risks. for you miss you're constantly flying around at high speeds collisions and everything for it's all crazy fast and tireless commitment we're just. we're here training all the time morning to night every day these seventeen paralympic athletes are in a twenty fourteen russia sledge hockey team and thirty six year old buddy i'm so you can is their captain he was injured in two thousand and two while serving in the russian military in chechnya. still visible before the age of twenty five i

used to have a completely different life were also for both of but after the injury i turned to sports to realize my potential. he went from swimming to taking up a chance to join russia's brand new sledge hockey squad. no one is going to bring you things on a silver platter but here we had an opportunity to work for it since two thousand and nine when we were told we were going to participate in the second paralympics it's been a driving force in a country that struggled to accommodate people's disabilities russia's paralympic coach says the team is helping to change perceptions in the demo so we're putting on the second huge new world more of these guys managed to prove to themselves their relatives and the entire society that they are not people with disabilities but people with unlimited abilities. he has been a part of paralympics since ninety ninety four but this is the first year that russia will compete this board only came here few years ago as remembers before the

movie version when we were just staring at one another not really knowing what to do first. let me show you what it's like here is the sledge what this is the blade and this small area is the seat. which means it's terribly unsteady so just imagine you have to keep your balance and simultaneously carry the puck you keep falling down and it takes a lot of time to get back up but now with skill that. these sledge hockey players the road just so she hasn't been easy it's taken an immense amount of hard work personal sacrifice and dedication but the payoff is that it's just on the ice the possible super bowl it's off to this experience i believe that people who have survived a car crash or a plane crash will look at us and realize that even with an injury like that you can live on you can set your own goals and achieve. the captain of our team to the
