5:01 am
and welcome to see international twenty following news live from moscow by name as you know of all let's go to our main story now. riot police are leaving the main site of antigovernment process in the ukrainian capital after hours of a tense standoff with demonstrators special forces moved into the square in the early hours to remove barricades blocking traffic but the opposition claims it was a failed attempt to disperse the protesters. his post court has been following developments for us in kiev. police are maintaining their operation was to remove the blockades that have been strangling and suffocating in central kiev in recent days they said maintain that they have and had no intention of removing the protest tent city the camp that you can see behind me in independence square and shortly after one am local time they began that operation now that was to push the
5:02 am
protesters back into independence square the demonstrators reinforced their barricades and took up that position expecting a full dispersal i then saw police proceeds to push the protesters back and although you are predominantly by side resisted the use of force some scuffles and some clashes did break out well opposition leaders have responded to two events overnights of italy klitschko the heavyweight boxing world champion and of course one high profile opposition leader saying in a tweet that we can't make a compromise with folks in dictators we should get rid of them the number one issue now is the resignation of president and what he calls his putrid administration so it seems the main demand of the opposition now is a complete overhaul of the government now this morning we've seen police try and take back control of the city administrative building but they were met by. things resistance really from the protesters and then retreated from the area and
5:03 am
looking down at the square behind me it seems as if police have now but often retreated from down from independence square having removed those barricades on the times the situation over night. was tense and it did threaten to spill into our right violence intentions were particularly high at the moment the police began the operation was the. deal really all of the hearts of the protest movements over the last few weeks so far as i say protesters have resisted using force the police have they lost them by. now if you take a look just to my right side you can see that's exactly where the barricades were that's this is the area that the protest was held right now the place of the protesters back now the police are formed out here as you can see it's my last time so i right now we're in the area that's been held by the protesters over the last
5:04 am
week or so but it's quite clear that the police want to try and clear the area but for some reason they've stopped what they are right now the protest on state of continuing and we're left with a note the slightly ted standoff. the west has a ready expressed outrage of the actions of the ukrainian authorities the u.s. secretary of state john kerry giving his opinion in the strongest terms as an she's got her to carry reports now from washington. it's not often that you hear the word discuss that from a diplomat it's usually reserved for some horrendous events while john kerry just used it to describe the decision of the ukrainian leadership to dismantle protesters barricades in the center of key of and here's what he said the united states expresses its disgust with the decision of ukrainian authorities to meet the peaceful protest in queues my ground square with riot police bulldozers and baton
5:05 am
is rather then with respect for democratic rights and human dignity of course secretary kerry speaks so it sounds like he speaks from a position that the u.s. would never do anything like that but apparently completely forgot how two years ago riot police. in the year was dismantled ten single arrested hundreds of occupy protesters across the country citing local anti-gay campaign laws already forgot how aggressively riot police dispersed the protesting clinton for example with regard to ukraine washington made no secret that it wanted this deal to happen a free trade agreement between ukraine and the e.u. could later fit into a much larger free trade agreement that is now being negotiated between the e.u. and the west but of course in its statement as the u.s. state department focuses on the right ines for asians of ukrainian protesters that support comes that just the words but also we actions the state department is deploying the assistant secretary of state or you know money to the streets of kiev
5:06 am
to cheer up the protesters as well as told meetings with the opposition and government officials in order to push this deal forward and it seems the stakes are high for washington in ukraine at the moment. as if to stress just how closely involved washington is the u.s. assistant secretary of state is back on independence square this time of bring support and kay's the e.u.'s foreign affairs chief has also been meeting with representatives of both sides but alexander who is a legal expert and blogger says not stop this is by high profile foreign politicians and more a case of meddling than trying to find peace i can actually imagine such a thing i can imagine a situation where they say there was a. big protest in central london and let's say somebody from of gondry say russia came along and you do negotiate with the
5:07 am
government is use most strange to me i have to say i wonder whether it's a tool why is there actually it seems to me that when outsiders involve themselves in the. phares of the country which they don't always understand very well let's remember mr ashton doesn't speak ukrainian she doesn't speak russian she's probably not very familiar with the political internal political situation in the ukraine one wonders what possible compromise will solution they can help to. ukraine's prime minister says the process preventing key payments from being made to keep society running find out how the government struggling to keep the economy alive at r.t. dot com. russia's foreign minister is in iran his first official visit that since

a diplomatic breakthrough on terror rons nuclear program last month sanctions are being eased in return for a reduction in the enrichment of uranium over the next six months in a deal most could have been pushing for. and the iranian capital far too. this is the highest level russian delegation to visit iran since president hassan rouhani took power bringing with him an approach that has led to a real significant diplomatic movement after just several months in power at breakthrough talks in geneva early in november the new administration in tiger and agreed to either freeze or curb parts of its nuclear program the payback was limited relieve from the international sanctions which have severely hampered the country's economy already we know that a group of international inspectors has been allowed to visit the iraq plant here in iran which is at the center of suspicions about iran's motives for have

a nuclear program it's been shut down search fall for at least six months a cauldron to geneva deal russia's massive is that goodwill is key to hold in this together it once foreign minister has already warned that if the last senate decides to introduce new sanctions and this is something that is now being discussed in america all diplomatic achievements already reached between the signs will be done and this is very dangerous sergey lavrov russia's foreign minister will seek a sure is that iran is keeping its and of the deal to the next few months rehabilitation on the international could include syria in just a month's time diplomats have back to switzerland to participate in geneva to syria peace talks and at this stage all the major powers involved in the protective crisis in this. country will be there but not iran and this is something most who
5:10 am
is very concerned about and wants to change it wants to get involved too that will be another important part of the discussions here integrand today will have a joint news briefing later today from both countries officials will keep you updated. essential forceful intervention in syria was avoided in september after the government agreed to destroy its toxic arsenal to rid the middle east of chemical weapons are being held by israel and egypt refusal to join the international convention but with syria now on board there is little space left for countries to maneuver as policy and now explain. this could soon be a thing of the past is radios queuing for gas masks in the pipeline a recommendation to the cabinet to stop manufacturing them for civilians so is dismantling of its chemical weapons also seems to have lifted the edge of his way to fears of a chemical strike well as a few months ago kids were spilling into the streets today the paranoia has died
5:11 am
down. it comes after syria destroyed all of its chemical weapons production facilities the country's on track to eliminate its entire stockpile by the middle of next year the chemical weapons are among the most or of weapons ever known to man and we were made for the world had agreed to abandon that weaponry a long time ago only two countries in the middle east haven't come on board egypt and israel tell of it was actually signed but not ratified the chemical weapons convention that outlaws the production stockpiling and use of chemical weapons the reason that one there is still some chemical weapons in the region and also does not want again from reasons of deterrence to reveal and to discover its capabilities tel aviv has always been vague
5:12 am
on the topic of chemical weapons according to foreign media reports israel has a stockpile of various weapons but is ready public's always shied away from asking too many questions the same reason if it's security issue we don't have to deal with we have the differences. nor the doing we don't have to do anything about it but with syria out of the picture israel's argument is weaker and the organization that controls chemical weapons is keeping up the pressure we regulars. and letters to the non-state parties including israel and encourage you to join by. without joining the convention it means your p.c. has no legal mandate to undertake verification activities to verify the compliance but as another chemical weapons arsenal in the middle east is dismantled with the power of diplomacy these way the government is facing growing international pressure to come on board. tel aviv.

welcome back to all seem to national russia has promised to defend its national interests and security saying the arctic to an injury trajan is contested by many countries including canada which claimed a large area including the north pole for itself on monday. moscow says the sport is an extension of russia's continental shelf and conducted an expedition back in two thousand and seven to prove that it can paint culminated in russia planting its flag on the seabed beneath the north pole of the four thousand meters underwater also wants to step up its military presence in the region russia canada the us and norway and denmark all border the arctic which is believed to contain billions of dollars worth of oil and gas despite the posturing and leading canadian research believes common sense will prevail in. the future of the world economy to some
5:19 am
extent is dependent on the arctic and i think you know russia and canada the united states and norway and denmark are very interested in exploiting these resources i think you know common sense will probably prevail in that you know that it's not the interest of any of these are countries to go to war over those resources and i think there is mechanisms at play through the arctic council through a number of different pre-treating processes for cooperation to get this resolved while the un convention on the law of the sea makes its decisions but i think the problem is that you know in the meantime countries can sometimes to play to the politics of their of their nations i think you know in russia we're seeing a military invasion of the arctic and care that we're seeing canada claim the north pole when in fact their scientific committee really didn't include in the draft that they were going to send to the united nations convention so this kind of

down to the single market importing french products or exporting british ones couldn't be easier were steered clear of american cars this inquiry's of the complexity of doing it for me how hard it is to export whereas here your goods very easy because you know you just make sure it's just a security guard and trying to transport is where it's abou diaby of the idea of what the price for this is well the key the cost and also it's distributed within and outside of britain and although the big cheese of this company says that being part of the e.u. brings much good benefits to the way that they export their own drugs nor will businesses in the u.k. a so called only european union. have come to a small movie in wales to talk to a business that says it's under threat because the restrictions being can fit in brussels james done with cells and electronic cigarettes online and in shops around
