international news and comment live from moscow this is all scenes are national with me hello and welcome to the program. the ukrainian count as i was headed for another day as thousands have moved from the central square to surround the prime minister's office in kiev earlier the protests turned violent with a government building stormed and hundreds left injured most of them police demonstrators and demanding the president's resignation following his snubbing of an e.u. trade integration deal and she's i mean i'm going to have been following the turmoil in care for a number of people out here on the independence square in the center of kiev has actually grown in just over the past hour and we are getting reports from local people do local residents who are staying in kiev that actually there are more

people coming in from various different regions so we're bound to see these numbers these crowds grow of course is at this point it's hard to compare them to the hundreds of thousands that were here over the weekend but there are very large numbers over by the government buildings and this is what the opposition leaders have been calling on people to do to take over all the government buildings in kiev and that is also the places that the government buildings are also the places where mass confrontations between the police and the protesters have taken place over the weekend with some of the most severe brutality that has ever been witnessed that has been witnessed in ukraine over the past you can say several decades and my colleague alex a you're just you was there and he has this a story to tell us several hundred people have gathered in front of the government building there now blocking it obviously the book in the road as well so that no government official can get inside this is their way of telling that this government needs to go we saw the approach just as bringing still fences to cordon
5:03 am
off central streets of the city there were some warnings coming from the police at some point that they will try to get back the city's ministration building which the protesters took over last night during the protest the tension breeze pretty much tangible in the same protest is happening in front of the presidential the destruction building i well. there last night and i saw that the corridor between the protesters and the police they're still remaining there's a very thin line separating those protesting and those defending the presidential administration the ministration of president building became the scene of a battlefield yesterday when several hundred supporters clashed with the police in a very for ukraine with rocks flying towards the police use flash bangs it was hell breaking loose we are certainly watching the situation how it unravels here and give but for now these people are here they're not letting one inside the ride police are inside they've blocked the entrance with these buses as you can see and

the standoff continues in the ukrainian capital. some opposition figures in ukraine are openly calling for a revolution to overthrow the current government but professor mark almond a historian at oxford university says the passionate speech is how didn't kiev's independence square don't resonate well with all ukrainians. i think we should because of attributing what's going on to the majority of people i suspect to the tragedy of the greatest the great majority of people around the passive uncertain of all the dissolution about politics and equation the risk now is that we have a politics of two minorities maybe the group on the streets group with kind of paramilitary nationalistic or the west not just western playing but also from some of your community countries they feel able to strip states of kind of who we're seeing very one time of same time and this could change go but it could lead to a very violent situation and it could even question whether ukraine is father was
5:05 am
a state. some senior politicians have blamed russia who was led to the situation and cleared saying it was kremlin interference that sunk the deal with the but international relations professor marcus in a boat says it's those exact same european politicians who are now belatedly 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 protestors on calling for 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 in international law violation of sovereignty and the not interference in the domestic affairs of other states and i think russia cannot take the whole world community cannot take this. lightly. and with little left in its piggy bank ukraine wanted time to some time

5:07 am
mean adopting new again union regulations with very little influence over them what would be the effect of that effect would be to make the economy far more on the back to see if it would mean factories closing down it would mean unemployment you've been you it has changed history high levels of unemployment because of its economic policies particularly it's excessive regulation just look at the economic facts leave the motion to one side and on series clear that a deal between the ukraine and the european union is not in ukraine's interest. and of course we're keeping an eye on the situation in kiev plans chunk of call for obviates as well as the latest media's and photos and i've also got a d.c. how timeline of events there in case you missed anything.

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 descending 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 praises 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 and 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 israel for me at least life was like every day going to war your always fight with

a complicated economic. good. i wouldn't have left. tens of thousands of his way to live today pooled to israel's founding fathers it's a sad thing to me and goodbye to the beloved country. television. and kind of announcing to national a look at the lives of military families who lost their loved ones deeds have. done to over here in the u.k. . 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
5:25 am
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 what so desperately to join the e.u. first off any nationalist groups in the e.u. 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 so 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.
