thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. international today just off the nine am on monday. from all of us here welcome. the ukrainian capital is braced for another turbulent day as thousands remain in kiev's main square in defiance of a court. at the country's largest protest since the orange revolution tun violent with the government buildings stormed and hundreds left injured most of them being police demonstrators now demanding the president's resignation following his sniping trade integration deal. with the latest. it is still pretty tense in the ukrainian capital the this not as many people now as it used to be at the beginning of the protest the protesters have managed to overtake the city administration building and they now describe it as the headquarters of the new revolution and several hours ago in fact the administration
12:02 am
of president of ukraine building looked like a battlefield computer kalash a rupture between the protesters and the riot police and the protesters even used a bulldozer to break the police lines short while ago i went to the administration of president of ukraine building to see everything with my own ice the building of the administration of ukraine's president now under siege with several hundred a riot policemen protecting the building this set of buses so that the protesters cannot reach inside in these few few meters basically maybe twenty meters between them and the protesters we 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 the 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 the policeman appearing that clashes my ear off at any
12:03 am
minute it's actually quite hard to speak here because of all the tear gas which was used it's still pretty much felt in the air and the situation is still very very tense here now after losing the battle for the city council building to protesters police set up a barricade right in front of the president's palace you can get a fresh updates by following alexia chef skis twitter account in the meantime some opposition figures in ukraine are openly calling for a revolution to overthrow the current government but professor mark almond a historian at oakwood university he says the passionate speech is heard in kiev's independence square a don't resonate well with all you crazy. i think we should because of attributing what's going on to the majority of people and 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
12:04 am
a politics of two minorities and it may be that the group on the streets grouped with kind of paramilitary nationalist support from the west not just western plane but also from some of your community countries do you feel they've got the strobes kind of who was seen in any one time or same time and this could change go but it could lead to a very violent situation and it could be you can question whether ukraine is father was a state in the meantime some senior politicians have blamed of russia for what's led to the situation in kiev saying it was a kremlin interference that sunk the deal with the e.u. but international relations professor botha he says it's those exact same european politicians who are now blatantly interfering in ukraine's internal affairs by involving themselves in the protests the fact that they are essentially on the ground in kiev cheer leading the protesters on calling for a revolution in the country this is a tantamount to the regime change that has been called for in german newspapers
12:05 am
earlier today this is a most agree just violation of the united nations charter and international law violation of sovereignty and the not interference of the domestic affairs of other states and i think russia cannot take the whole world community cannot take this. act lightly. i know with very little left in his piggy bank ukraine wanted time to sort out the problem of its ever growing foreign debt and a range compensation for a modernized program kiev said this could help to safeguard jobs before it entered into any deal with the e.u. well robert oulds from the bruges group the u.k. independent all party think tank he says ukraine has to look east to save its faltering economy. the way forward is to look at the cold hard economic facts such as ask the question where does most of the ukraine's exports go to the answer
12:06 am
is the vast majority of ukrainian exports go towards washington the c.i.s. states therefore ukraine should really see that trade deal costumes you need everybody on the same to have to follow but they have the european union's fault that's one aspect another aspect is if they were to sign a deal with the you in union what would be the effect on the economy it would mean adopting european union regular ations with very little influence over them what would be the effect of that effect would be to make the economy far more on competitive it would mean factories closing down it would mean unemployment you've been unit has changed history high levels of unemployment because of its economic policies particularly its excessive regulation just look at the economic facts leave the motion to one side and on series clear that deal between the ukraine and the european union is not in ukraine's interest here at all to international we're

leaving the country facing a life threatening water shortage later capital for ports. it's midday in some not like clockwork each afternoon these now only fill up with people buying cut oh my god is the essence of nature if we don't sure we're not alone banned in many countries but legal in yemen the leaves contain a mild narcotic and almost everyone chews more than ninety percent of men according to the world health organization at this market countless righties and plenty of customers. have a second so this is about five dollars worth of thoughts chewing the substance moving around the national past time somebody will say i'm national a deficit without knowing anything about it but the action comes out of all one at
12:14 am
the country as a whole list of is it ok for the you to logically yemen has no shortage of problems but a shortage of water could make some not the first world capital to run dry caught is one of the main culprits. yemen is chewing itself to death the country has limited water resources and its population rate has exploded that's a huge factor in the shortage but then ninety three percent of the extracted water goes to agriculture and that's mostly to grow cotton amid the rugged landscape on the outskirts of the capital got trees as far as the eye can see they can be harvested all year round and the farmers here say they earn more cash from drugs than food. used to grow grapes peaches pomegranates and other fruits but it simply wasn't as profitable as caught so we routed out the other crops and left only the caught trees. it takes an incredible amount of water to irrigate these got fields
12:15 am
the more you pump in the faster these trees grow but even here it's taking its toll of the thirty wells that serve in this village ten have already gone dry and two more are on the verge. by law only the government is allowed to dig and maintain wells in reality it's a free for all pumping water out is dirt cheap thanks to government fuel subsidies which has led to thousands of illegal wells and that's meant farmers can irrigate the traditional way completely flooding the field while draining the supply much faster than it can be replenished. in sum no the consequences are already visible those who can afford it buy their water from these trucks the rest struggle to get by however they can there are public taps but the water is often dirty and shortages are common the city's groundwater could be depleted in less than a decade but for the poorest residents it's as good as gone should be talking about

soldering ottawa to antennas has actually it's run out of water it's a matter of definition snow. and that's not just some countries that have the most serious what's the problem in the world the dwindling supply has already sparked instability many conflicts in the rural areas are water related and the interior ministry says that water and land disputes killed four thousand people each year that we were where they were not far and order to bring order to leave they will be able. to do a lot of the rivers. it's a race against time and one that yemen is losing but here the evenings belong to cut men gather together to talk smoke and chew their chosen escapes for a country that has precious few of them and for now escaping the water crisis will simply have to wait another day. to see caffein of r t sanaa yemen.
