the world's top headlines live on our international. news team welcome to the program the ukrainian capital is headed for another turbulent day as thousands of moves from the central square to surround the prime minister's office in kiev earlier the country's largest protest since the orange revolution turned violent with government buildings stormed and hundreds left injured most of them being police. following the turmoil in kiev now joining us live good to see you and i can still see lots of people. very rough weather in the ukrainian capital what is the scene at the moment now. well as you have pointed out i think we're essentially looking at a storm but that hasn't deterred deterred people from coming out on the streets
3:02 am
we're not talking about hundreds of thousands like their world for the weekend but we are talking about several hundreds of people out on the square they have just played the national anthem and we do know that a lot of people have actually left the squirrel already even though they're actually barred from being in the square by the government as it is odd but there's hundreds of you before i actually went to other government buildings that they went to the prime minister's office they went to be a presidential history i said surely there has been is an ordinance from the leaders of the ukrainian opposition who are saying that they are determined to take control of all government buildings and the ukrainian capital and to was to simply proceed with the if the never and the with the oh the protests which could last for weeks if not months as you have said this is the biggest social of discord in ukraine since the orange revolution of two thousand and four two thousand and five . for tests have begun as rather small scale protests are for the
3:03 am
association into the european union but now they have transformed into something significantly larger and now that we're hearing calls for the resignation of the government and even a revolution these protests have been marked by increasing and ten times the extremely brutal violence especially when it came to confrontation between the police and the protesters in such a one of such shows of immense force was actually our last night at the presidential administration my colleague alex here is just q was there and he brings us this report. the building or the administration of ukraine's president now under siege with several hundred royd policemen protecting the building the set of buses so that the protesters cannot reach inside and riis. 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
3:04 am
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 the police are now fearing that classes 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. some opposition figures in ukraine openly calling for a revolution to overthrow the current government but professor mark almond a historian at oxford university he says the passionate speech is heard in kiev's independence square 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 is the greatest the great majority of people around the passive and
3:05 am
certainly around the dissolution about politics when both equation the risk now is that we have a politics of two minorities and it may be that the group on the streets with kind of paramilitary nationalist support from the west not just western plane but also from some of the work or new countries they feel able to strip states of kind of who were seen during one time of same time and this could change go but it could lead to a very violent situation and it could be a question of the ukraine is far from the state and some senior politicians have blamed russia for what's led to the situation in kiev saying it was the kremlin interference that sunk the deal with the e.u. but international relations professor marks the border he says is those exact same european politicians who are now blatantly interfering in your. rains internal affairs by involving themselves in these protests the fact that they are essentially on the ground in kiev cheerleading the protestors on calling for
3:06 am
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 non interference in 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 the range compensation for a modernization program here said this could have helped to safeguard jobs before it entered into any deal with the e.u. or robert oulds the chairman of the bruges group a u.k. independent old party think tank he says ukraine now has to look east to save its economy. the way forward is to look at the cold hard economic facts such as ask the question where does most of ukraine's exports go to the answer is the
3:07 am
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 to be on the same you have to follow but they have the european union's falls that's one aspect another aspect is if they were to sign a deal with you in union what would be the effect on the economy it would mean adopting new opinion 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 excessive regulation just look at the economic facts leave the motion to one side and on so he's clear that a deal between the ukraine and the european union is not in ukraine's interest and

limited water resources ninety three percent of the extracted water goes to agriculture and that's mostly to grow pot amid the rugged landscape on the outskirts of the capital got trees as far as the eye can see if 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 at this village ten have already gone dry and two more are on the verge. in some know 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

strength and durability every government the middle east except turkey and israel because their democracies every single other government is fragile you look at a fairly stable country like jordan it is fragile as well i hope for side arabia's would become a constitutional monarchy more like jordan but saudi arabia has lots of work to do . more before we join keep our troops for the sports for now low salaries and poor prospects of cited among key reasons the young israelis are increasingly leaving their native country. now reporting 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
3:21 am
educated smart and successful many don't come back there's a word in hebrew for those israelis who leave your dream which means the same thing until recently it was attributed to misfits lower class and people who couldn't find their place in society but alone a 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 plays a certain role but it's not something that should limit ourselves. but the debate was read knighted 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. 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
3:22 am
a struggle and your life is more calm you can relax you can sit quiet you can sleep quietly like barry many israelis land up here which is why the country's finance minister recently funded from his facebook page that he's a little impatient with people who are willing to throw the only country that jews have into the trash because berlin is more convenient actually 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 does well two years ago with his ecuadorian wife after giving israel a try he decided to leave for her country if israel wasn't such a complicated. good.

3:24 am
are automatically demonised as right wing extremists and in 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 rumanians 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 opinion. wealthy british style it's not right.
