ukraine's prime minister complains of threats against his family from anti-government protesters as demonstrations rage on and over integration. a tiny village takes on a us energy giant we travel to remain a world locals are desperate to stop shale gas exploration close to their homes. and the world warns mandela the death of the anti-apartheid icon sparks fear isn't claves that racial tension could return to south africa. it is eleven am in moscow watching r.t. international i'm marina joshing welcome to the program. ukraine's prime minister and allies are of says he's family as well as the families of other officials are

receiving threats from anti-government protesters activists have also rallied outside the homes of security officers as an investigation is launched over allegations of excessive force being used against demonstrators last week are just going to go reports from kiev. it grew by me now like the worst moment was when i saw people being beaten on the ground at my feet they were just kids and i couldn't do anything about it and it was terrible it must never happen again. the night of november thirtieth when peaceful protests in the heart of kiev were broken up by ukraine special right police force dozens and end up in hospitals images of police beating defenseless people emerged on the internet the. was the next day it was the police on the receiving end of the violence but at the hands of a mob and not the peaceful protesters who were dispersed just the day before.

i got hit by a brick or a piece of pavement score in the face it's hard to tell because everything was flying no one could predict it would go like this that there would be rocks bricks most of cocktails but. i was scared for my units who were there because it was totally unexpected right in front of all of this there were these boys eighteen nineteen years old who serve in the army and everything was flying at them rocks molotov cocktails. and these men are among the officers still in hospital a week after the attack some received injuries severe enough to leave them disabled or to convince them to leave the force but both. i determined to return to service and so you don't have any animosity towards the crowd on independence square i can understand the people they want to express their opinion. people have the right to

voice their opinion but without breaking the law it would not be an overstatement to say that many people here in kenya view police is their enemy number one especially after last week's intense clashes what's there is opinion out there that . if the police force were simply following the instructions they have received and it's those who gave the orders that should be held responsible for the violence so . that our recordings on the internet of the actual orders that received an ox is to clear we must create a parliamentary commission and find the person who blew it all up and hold them criminally responsible i'm sure the orders came from someone higher than the head of police. as the protests enter their third week the tension is palpable no one wants a repeat of last week's nightmare. requires a calmer efforts from both sides among people whose patience is already wearing.

meanwhile ukraine's president viktor going to college has met with water important to discuss strategic ties with russia he had a car it made a detour of his way back from china where he hoped to secure aid for ukraine's weak economy however beijing was reluctant to offer any help economic troubles were the main reason cited by ukraine's leadership for rejecting an association agreement with the e.u. a decision that's left the country's population bitterly divided reporter mark conceive who's written extensively on ukraine says protesters calling for integration would be disappointed if the deal ever came to fruition. i think it would be a nightmare come true in the long term ukraine and the european union have a lot to gain from increased relationships with each other but the package that the e.u. was proposing and the price you created would pay and severed ties with russia and the east bloc would in the short term cause a very we'll drop in standard of living for the ukrainian people much greater

energy price costs and the european union and european commission given their own financial woes would not be in the position to give ukraine the necessary financial support it would need in these situations the european union has major problems within its own area that it really must resolve before it can really new it's our first to reach out to nations like ukraine and i think there really needs to be a fundamental reassessment in the brussels of what ukraine needs which has not been adequately recognized in brussels. european and u.s. politicians have been lending their support to the opposition in kiev online with more on that and their reaction to its cause is that had two parties dot com. yes energy have a wage iran has resumed its exploration for shale gas in northeastern rumania the

company earlier is a span of the operation over environmental concerns raised by locals and now says it wants to build positive dialogue was nearby communities but as artie's losing confidence reports it's an operation that's gone hand in hand with violence and intimidation. it's a case of david versus goliath a tiny romanian village pitted against a massive us energy giant chevron which is trying to drill for shale gas that's believed to be trapped beneath the ground in the rocks here now that the process involves a controversial process called fracking that means pumping water and chemicals at high pressures into the ground in order to unlock the gas that's trapped inside the problem according to environmentalists is that all those chemicals can contaminate the water release dangerous methane gas into the area even earthquakes and that is a risk that these villagers in put in jest here in romania simply don't want to take now this has been the scene of peaceful protests for more than

a month now the villagers had gathered here to try to prevent chevron from doing this work when our team was here last in october it seemed that the protesters had won chevron had announced that it would temporarily at least suspend its drilling activity as its exploration activities here but earlier this week authorities had taken chevrons side with brute force. when the police came we couldn't do anything to stop them this round of the camp and began to tune in the one structure everyone here. to do for a group of retired ourselves together to form a human chain across the ruled out of the police officers came out just like grooves they were beating us with their bottoms i was kicked here there was another villager who's in hospital now because of him hard to hit him in the stomach but now as we can see over here chevron has now resumed its activities its exploration activities and we're hearing unconfirmed reports of hundreds of police officers just asperse in this area we also heard for the first reports of police officers

trying to potentially intimidate some of the villagers prevent them from from coming here mourning perhaps of consequences for them if they continue to protest reporting and put in just romania for r t. fragging is also causing uproar across the atlantic the u.s. state of texas has been shaken by several earthquakes recently with some scientists saying dozens of nearby drilling wells are to blame environmental activist and professor at the university of north texas adam burgle believes fracking activities should be subjected to more thorough regulation. what needs to happen is there needs to be more empowerment for those who are most vulnerable to the harms involved here you know companies talk about conducting this in a safe way but the there is no objective answer to what is safe this is it's it's a system that's vulnerable to what was called normal accidents that can there's going to be something going to happen wrong with it at any time now whether that's

too frequently occurring or whether the harms involved or of too great a magnitude i think reasonable people can disagree on that question so the real question isn't whether it's safe it's who gets to determine whether it stays in the us and on that question the people who are most are most vulnerable to the harms involved have to have the greatest say and so when it needs to be sort of restructuring of the political dialogue around this. and coming out of the program i want to live in central paris and brace yourself. it's from here to here. we take a look at garrett live and talk to those in the know about life in the city of light. also in france and it's meeting its second major intervention in africa this year sending troops and helicopters to the central african republic and there are reportedly a thousand french troops on the ground already paris began to sand reinforcements

hours after the u.n. authorized authorized the mission to quell sectarian violence in the country the red cross says at least three hundred people were killed in two days of fighting in the capital as christian militias loyal to the ousted president classed with muslim fighters currently in control of the country dubbed as the policeman of africa france has been active on the continent since the colonial era well here's a map of francis former colonies well over the past decade france has led inventions in mali its most recent operation chad ivory coast and the democratic republic of congo that's aside from its of. in libya as for the current conflict in central african republic earlier this year france refused a request to intervene from former president it was easy who was ousted in march by muslim rebels now it's decided to act immediately lawrence freeman from b. executive intelligence review magazine believes french domestic problems are behind the decision. recently france has become more active

militarily and i think the problem with that france and britain. have not given up their intent on nabbing access and use of some of the resources and wealth of the african countries also i think france is suffering serious problems at home there is a overall devastating collapse in living standards throughout all of europe so many of these things i think combining to push france forward into somebody is military activities. more of them recently than we've seen before to the u.k. now where the government is planning to ban extremist preachers from visiting mosques and as long. as we were in a few minutes prison authorities claim is largely in the jails where people are being radicalized the full story is coming out.

good leverage sure. was easy to build. which doesn't sound anything. to teach me why you should care about. this is why you should. only. economic down in the fine. and the rest.

welcome back this is r.t. international south africa's first black president the man who led the country out of apartheid nelson mandela will be laid to rest next sunday at his family estate but as people around the globe mourn the loss fears are mounting the death of the iconic leader could reaganite racial segregation this time through its those living and why don't claves in south africa that are worried r.t. supposedly are has more. for many years south africans in particular have been asking themselves the question what happens when mandela pos is on and for a long time there was a war we that everything he stood for which was essentially bringing white and

black south africans to give it would disappear when he dies this question has become this urgent as the years have passed on and a new generation of south africans has come to the fore but certainly there are pockets of particularly white south africans who are today afraid now i visited the community of claim from tain which is a white on cave they you find only off the condos now these are white south africans who can trace the roots back to european settlers who came in the sixteen hundreds you need special permission to enter the area there are security guards everywhere there are statues paying tribute to the founders of politics which was south africa's legal system of discrimination between blacks and whites people there justified the existence of such enclaves as merely a way of preserving their history the culture their language they argue against any kind of claims of racism we feel strongly about our identity and we want to protect

back and preserve it this together with the fear that some white of economists feel has caused some to put in place contingency plans now there's a group called the state land is they estimate that the figures are around eighty to one hundred thousand people and they all went through mobile phones in such a way that if in any time they believe a genocide happens and they do believe that a genocide is coming against white south africans they can then mobilize him selves and move to an area where they will be able to both protect themselves and be completely self-sufficient no i visited this community and this is what they had to tell me right now oh we're the stage or little six. little sort of is really the true constructs of these white south africans our. are in the minority the majority really credited mandela with bringing the country back from the brink of civil war regardless of the color of the skin they race the creed their religion south

africans regard mandela as the hero of the struggle against apartheid and see him as one of the greatest sons of this country. and just a click away for you right now if friesen to us spiral ations weren't in the new album for america's latest intelligence gathering satellite should leave you in no doubt judge for yourself the message the sinister octopus has on our team dot com. plus nation security or an attempt to mask its failures japan introduces new state secrecy laws all the details are online. play right from the same place the first tribute and i think picture. on our reporter's twitter. instagram.

the. economic down in the final. days the length of the old shanghai and the rest of life it's a neat make believe if we. come back here watching our senior national government has announced new measures to crack down on islamist extremism drawn up following the brutal murder of a british soldier by two muslim converts and may part of a plan is to block extremist material on the web amban those encouraging them from visiting mosques however searches laura smith reports it's jails were becoming increasingly radicalized one would scrubs prison in west london

temporary or longer term home to around fourteen hundred male prisoners apart from the inevitable gag activity and drug taking that goes on inside many prison inmates find religion while they're doing that stretch some genuine of those not so much. those who want children to and use that religion is of excuse for treatment from. particular concern and there's clear evidence that there are youngsters being radicalized. and forced to join the right to causation of a phone report. who then can become a tree machine where evidence from the prison offices union shows prisoners are necessarily so much finding gods as having shoved in their faces muslim gangs have grown in power and influence in jails all over the country and the prison

officers association is concerned that they target vulnerable new arrivals for conversion and that those who are muslims already are being forced into more extremist views you speak to some prisoners or know to tell you to keep their food or a dollar to get more time a show or done it just to be seen as to be part of a gun culture i've done it for protection i've done it because i was bullied extremists who ultimately released from behind these walls back into society martin lawrence misreporting there now is some other stories from the war. in athens clashes erupted between police and students who were marking the fifth anniversary of a fatal police shooting of a teenager officers used tear gas pepper spray and stun grenades to quell the crowds of youngsters who hurled cattle bombs and said vehicles alive at least ten people were arrested and dozens more are detained. borders and opponents of

ousted president mohamed morsi have clashed in several cities across egypt police and gays are used tear gas to disperse demonstrations and dozens of arrests have been made the unrest comes despite a government passing a new law banning groups of more than ten people gathering on the streets. police have detained six men suspected of stealing a truck hearing highly radioactive materials in mexico the suspects were sent to hospital as they may have radiation poisoning the truck was stolen monday in mexico city and later found in a nearby field it was supposed to transport the material to a nuclear waste facility after being used for radiation therapy. deadly storm has struck northern europe with hurricane force gusts across battered countries at least eight fatalities are thought to be linked to the extreme weather conditions in the u.k. it caused the biggest tidal surge in sixty years flights and rail services were

frozen in matter european regions poland had electricity cut off and four hundred thousand homes. over to france now and paris may be at dream destination but they're all mance of the french capital comes at a premium for those want to live there as are just as are so you found out even if you're willing to pay the price home may still be a cramped attic or basement. it all looks great on paper but anyone with an aspiration of living in central paris quickly discovers the nightmare and becomes looking for a flat here this picturesque center of the city might as well have a sign that says off limits to anyone with a tight budget but if you must prepare for very tight quarters when you first arrive to the far out i was completely shocked because this was the smallest area that i found myself ever but i didn't look it from here to here. donica pay seven hundred seventy euros for this tiny twenty square meter central paris flat in the

popular lot in quarter area plus another hundred for bills and internet she chose convenience over price a choice that's not quite there for others like sabina who lives just outside paris with three other people her bedroom in the basement. was about five hundred euros when i moved. i was looking on internet for place for five hundred euros couldn't find anything really. expensive visited a few places. couldn't find anything so i decided to look for someone to serve a close suburbs in more extreme cases not only do people end up far from the center but in apartments like this one where there's no kitchen or hot water so. it's a real problem in fronts this lack of housing we need eight hundred to nine hundred thousand more housing this is what explains the high prices in july every port

released by france's national institute of statistics and economic studies found that one hundred forty one thousand five hundred people were without a fixed residency in france a rent control law was recently passed as part of a larger housing reform to address the lack of housing substandard conditions and the trend of people being pushed out of paris and other major cities but changes in living standards won't come overnight a fact many in the city of lights have just come to accept. you know. it's ok. just or so you r.t. paris and max max and stacey take on the world's financial have lines in the kaiser report that's why viewers are to international and if you're in the u.k. stay tuned for the wages of debt about how social programs are actually harming africa.

washington so-called peace process to resolve the israel palestine conflict has produced little if any results in fact the palestinians are experiencing excel in way to be legal and seizures is it time to accept a one state solution and or look to global institutions like the un to replace the current negotiating framework. but. i do know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albums. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our crass cynical we've been hijacked why a handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one school class i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture

of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem truck rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america if i ever feel ready to join the movement then welcome it it. may look like bounty islands where the locals can enjoy the sun and the ocean. but that was buried here years ago. means these people are suffering the consequences. how much more poison lies on the ground. behind this zone there is what we call the callet bank on which there is a deposit of plutonium left by security test which caused the dispersion already

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser. so. what do you. well success for david cameron's trade mission to china this way. they are downing street announced the u.k. has won the right to export pig semen to china this is going to be a long one in a deal worth forty five million pounds per year. little piggies well rescue britain's economy for sure and exchange it appears china will win the rights to more of the u.k.'s real income producing assets such as the h s two high speed rail link between london and those places up north that nobody ever goes not only will china invest in the new rail network but may even build it they did

a good job in america building a railroad. cameron bragged that the u.k. infrastructure is worth investing in not just by the government meanwhile back in the u.k. a space of frightening close talking continues police told members of the public so nor people just as clowns if they meet them in the street alas despite the public warning the media insisted on reporting on george osborne's autumn statement oh oh stacey. max george osborne perhaps the most terrifying clown of all actually want to take a look at this image here this is a clown spotted in norfolk i'm not sure if it was george osborne but he looks quite similar with his autumn statement no one thing that was reporting on the state of the u.k. economy i think was the u.k. guilt because in the march budget ten year gilts were trading at one point eight percent with the autumn statement it's now at two point nine two percent so let's look at some.
