ukraine has seized the largest protests since the orange revolution almost a decade ago with government buildings seized and hundreds of policemen demonstrators all injured in the violence. with big business. of working class ideals it's inspiring a new political force to take matters into its own hands what they. have done on the right by creating a party that seriously challenged conservatives they want to do. for me at least life was going to war no longer the promised land israelis become disillusioned with bad economics at home they're now looking for money and the prospects.

glad to have you with us here on r.t. international. from everybody here welcome to today's headlines the ukrainian capital is headed for another turbulent day as thousands of moved from the central square to surround the prime minister's office in kiev earlier the country's largest protest since the orange revolution violent government buildings stormed and hundreds left injured actually most of them this time around being police demonstrators demanding the president's resignation this following his snapping of an e.u. trade integration deal. witnessed the latest. it is still pretty tense in the ukrainian capital 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 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 ukraine building to see everything with my own ice the building of the administration of ukraine's president now under siege with several hundred right policemen protecting the building there said our buses so that the protesters cannot reach inside and these few few meters basically between two 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 failed 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 the clashes my ear off at any 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 and off the losing the battle for the city council building to protesters police set up a barricade in front of the president's palace you can get the latest updates by here following alexia chef ski on twitter. now 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 oakford university he says the passionate speech is heard in kiev's independence square i do not resonate well with all ukrainians. i think we should because of attributing what's going on to the majority of people and i suspect that the tragedy of the great majority of people rather passive uncertain of all the

dissolution about politics and both equation the risk now is that we have 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 the were pretty new countries they feel they've got the strobes stage kind of who was seen in any one time of 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 far from the state. in the meantime some senior politicians have blamed russia for what's led to the situation in kiev saying it was kremlin interference that sunk the deal with the e.u. and international relations professor moxley bada 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 cheerleading 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 earlier today this is a most agree just violation of the united nations charter and international law violation of sovereignty and the noninterference of the domestic affairs of other states and i think russia cannot take the whole world community cannot take this agree just act lightly. and with little left in its piggy bank ukraine wanted time to sort out the problem of its ever growing foreign debt and a range compensation for a modernization program kiev said this could have helped to safeguard jobs before entered into any type of deal with the e.u. robert oulds the chair of the bruges group or u.k. independent old party think tank he says ukraine has to look east now to try and 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 he's the vast majority of ukrainian exports go towards watches in the c.i.s. states therefore ukraine should we see that straight to your. customers you need everybody on the same you have to follow but maybe you've been you need that's one aspect another aspect g.'s if they were to sign a deal with the european union what would be the effect on the economy it would mean don't continue in union vacations buried it will influence over them what would be the effect of that if it would be to make the economy far more on the path to see if it would be factories closing down it would mean unemployment you've been you know it has change this week high levels of unemployment because of its economic policies particularly excessive regulation just look at the economic facts leave the motion to one side and clear that deal between the ukraine and the

movements like this highlight is that a recent trend of citizens reaching a point where they are looking for an alternative which they feel is simply do not exist within the walls of these institutions. reporting from london. and while a rising number of brits are disappointed with the government frustration with the rest of europe is also gaining pace online we report on the widening gap between the u.k. and e.u. and why people's attitudes toward turning increasingly hostile. water is a vital part of our everyday lives but for some it's turning into a luxury after a short break here on our look at how people make it through the. country running dry very unusual reason. why. something many others type of granted is also notable by its absence stops the freedom of expression i hear on

if you are just joining us welcome to the program here on r.t. international drug addictions are well known for ruining lives but in yemen it's going a whole step further the male population's love chewing one particular leaf is leaving the country facing a life threatening water shortage list of capital for its. it's midday in the sun up like clockwork each afternoon these now things fill up with people behind cut the route we've got is the essence of the nature of a city if we don't sure that we're not alone banned in many countries but legal in yemen the leaves contain a mild narcotic and almost everyone shoes more than ninety percent of men are born

into the world health organization at this market to countless ladies and plenty of customers that shop windows in a second so this is about five dollars worth of hearts chewing this substance moving on the national past time somebody will say i'm national identity don't know or anything about it but the action comes out of a whole other one that the country as a whole is that is it ok for the idea to logically put that yemen has no shortage of problems but a shortage of water could make some not the first world cup at all to run dry current is one of the main culprits. yemen is chewing itself to the country is limited water resources and ninety three percent of the extract of water goes to agriculture and that's mostly to grow past 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 it takes an incredible amount of water to irrigate these got fields 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. in some 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 ground water could be depleted in less than a decade but for the poorest residents it's as good as gone should be talking about . what i'm saying this is actually. it's a matter of definitions not. and that's not the. country we have the most serious what's the problem in the world. it's a race against time and one that is losing but here the evenings belong to cut

across or will actually be throughout the day here on ars he international for now . the reason poor prospects are cited among key reasons that young israelis are increasingly leaving their native country paula severe reports on the new generation choosing the bright lights of europe the u.s. and even latin america rather than that of the promised land. their ancestors may have called it the promised land but more and more young israelis are seeking their fortunes far from its golden shaws a former israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin once branded those who immigrated from israel cowards but these days most of the people who are leaving are young educated smart and successful many don't come back there's a word in hebrew for those israelis who believe your dream which means the same thing until recently it was attributed to misfits lower class and people who couldn't find a place in society but a lot now is

a straight a pupil she want to scholarship to study at the american university in washington d.c. the fact that that's the only jewish country prays a certain role but it's not something that should limit ourselves. but the debate was read night after two of this year's nobel prize winners in chemistry were israelis who left for the states an embarrassing reminder of the extent to which local talent has fled very bible has a computer technician who sitting up his own business in the german capital in his road for me at least life was like every day going to war your always fight with your customers and fight with your clients i had my own business there and it was always a struggle and your life is more calm you can relax you can sit quiet you can sleep quietly like there are many israelis land up here the city from which adult hitler once ruled which is why the country's finance minister recently thundered

from his facebook page that he's a little impatient with people who are willing to throw the only country the jews have into the trash because bergen is more convenient actually it pissed me off to read this comment on why if i stay there it's because it's good for me financially it's good for me socially but bottom line it's still economics for many the most common complaint among those israelis living abroad is that back home salaries are low and prices high. and it's almost impossible to make ends meet it's a cliff his will two years ago with his ecuadorian wife after giving israel a try he decided to leave for the country if israel wasn't such a complicated economically. i wouldn't have left. tens of thousands of his way to live to tape rude to israel's finding fonda's it's a sad thing to me and goodbye to the beloved country. tell of is.

just a moment here on the international a close look at the lives of military families who lost their loved ones and had bouts of friendly fire but if you're in the u.k. you're going underground with afshin rattansi. ukraine is in a tough spot right now trying to figure out whether to join the e.u. or the arrangements custom union it would be nice if they would you know maybe allow the populace to vote for their future via referendum but sadly it looks like the politicians will be making a historic decision i can see why some people want to look west and some people want to look east but i don't understand why so-called ukrainian nationalists want so desperately to join the e.u. first off any nationalist groups in the e.u. are automatically demonised as right wing extremists and the politically correct

west patriotism is pretty much a dirty word generally nationalist like their culture and the people who are part of it but if you look at migration trends within the e.u. we see that the slavic part of it is flooding western europe looking for work i have many relatives from the slavic part of the e.u. and almost all of them have to work abroad and might sound nice to be able to work in europe but the reality is that ukrainians will probably be paid even less than bulgarians romanians to clean toilets in london. ukrainian nationalists don't have to like russia or join the customs union or join any bloc of countries but advocating a future for themselves the e.u. seems absolutely backwards at least to me but that's just my point.

with the economic downturn the final. day of the deal and the rest of life the thing became ill be a briefly a. right to see. first trip. and i think that your. letter. to me in the. research of dr

scott's nor a retired lieutenant colonel at the harvard business school highlights the difficulties in determining both the cause of and criminal culpability in friendly fire incidents so friendly fire have a perverse relationship with friendly fire paratrooper and eighty second airborne division was a victim of friendly fire in operation urgent fury. greneda and so for years this was ninety three i had a perverse sense of curiosity how could sometimes some of the best trained best equipped people in the world sometimes fall short of the mark in his book friendly fire dr snoeck investigates an encounter in a no fly zone in which two u.s. f. fifteen fighters shot down to u.s. army black hawk helicopters instantly killing twenty six u.n. peacekeepers this happened in one thousand nine hundred four full three years after the end of the first gulf war it was a high shooting war going around there's not a lot of bad guys running around on the ground or in

a lot of enemy planes flying around near broad daylight unlimited visibility relatively benign conditions it's on camp lane this one in the fog of war on the call sheet that morning the two f. fifteen pilots were briefed that they would be the first aircraft to enter the no fly zone by regulation no helicopters were allowed to fly into the zone without fighter coverage. unbeknown to the f. fifteen pilots a last minute early morning trip was scheduled to get peacekeepers to or below the town deep in northern iraq when the pilots entered the no fly zone that morning they were alarmed to see two helicopters appear on their radar nobody's supposed to be in front of them that day so you're already your expectations these are probably enemy helicopters that speeded that out too that this sense of all you're trying to figure out is in hip isn't something which soviet designation helicopters for the army's rules of engagement the f. fifteen approach the blackhawks to visually confirm that they were enemy aircraft

before firing they were trained on this they take a lot of pride in this but of course a black hawk a u.s. army black hawk. was configured these two blackhawks were configured slightly different that day normally a black hawk they have little wing lights on the side and sponsons and on this particular day the blackhawks were going about one hundred miles to the town of erbil inside deep inside northern iraq and so they attached external fuel tank still blackhawks and these little wings and that changed the shape. what shapes what we see every day it's largely shaped by our expectations. by what we want to see what we expect to see and also then the ultimate you know sort of the physical stimulus that actually enters or i so it was a very ambiguous stimulus the speed the distance and everything camouflage and a very strong set of expectations the visual.
