just hundreds of meters away from the heart of the opposition protests parties alexy or chefs he is in kiev and takes a closer look at how the revolutionary mood is affecting everyday life. the korean capital has been in the protest mode for more than two weeks now it looks completely different than a month ago people are living here cooking food. and definitely life has changed when the protests kicked off talking about food underneath the square of the protest you can literally chew on the e.u. donuts with the european union flag are now available for sale. i think with their lunch. and the taste delicious local fridge magnet manufacturers were quick to pounce on the idea of the protest and now you can purchase a very peculiar more ability from sending young to prison to localizing international brands the one that central kiev is the place of many restaurants and bars in their lives have been affected in one way or another we decided to pay

enraged by particular aspects of this unrest as someone who was born and raised in your house you feel guilty as protests against protests are booed i'm tired of going to go to because i think he is running his course but as a keep resident i'm not sure why i'm on even if needed to be destroyed it seems these demonstrations have been privatized by a bunch of vandals. for just one kilometer from the independent square there are places where the revolution vibe is the non existent up to what has been a turbulent and hardly free craned people are letting off steam in different nightclubs and bars and it's life goes on despite the some part of the city is still on the revolutionary lockdown lets you assess the reporting from kiev in ukraine. u.s. senator john mccain is heading to kiev to join the opposition protests along with other u.s. lawmakers the senate introduced

a resolution calling on washington to impose sanctions against ukraine if islands breaks out during these rallies that is don de bar is a producer for c.p.r. news in the u.s. he says geo political ambitions are behind foreign involvement in ukraine's crisis . a member of the greek parliament goes there on the public treasury to stir up trouble with ukraine and to promote the e.u. stance a bully well the e.u. was strangling greece these are some amazing images to me there's a geo political agenda this being served by stirring up a rest in the ukraine both an attempt to bring it into the orbit of western europe a century and also by the way to use you ukraine as another source of the looting that goes on if the plane were to look at what its real future would be in the u. it should look to the countries of the south greece portugal spain and ukraine will end up impoverished and exploited france is one of the policy makers in the e.u.

reemerging as a colonial power and ukraine they are attempting basically to treat as a lower tier sect substrata group almost a quality inside the. online we've got a live timeline of the events in kiev for you head to our website r.t. dot com for the very latest from the ukrainian capital. al-qaeda linked rebels have kidnapped one hundred twenty currents in a syrian village close to the turkish border that's according to the syrian observatory for human rights the fighters say all the captives including six women were taken to an unknown location alan simo is a representative for the foreign affairs and relations office of the democratic union party in syria he's calling on the international community to protect the kurdish minority. terror group. related. and affiliated to.

a different approach. well these are extremely desperate measures being carried out by the rebels. they want to sabotage the geneva two talks to be held on january the twenty second and twenty fourteen they're not gaining ground in terms of. their operations against the assad government and they haven't been able to topple the assad government the report on the chemical weapons use has not apportion blame they were hoping that the syrian government would be flames and therefore there would be more of an international pressure against assad to step down that this hasn't asked of the judeo christian politicians in europe are paying lip service to the whole process. providing non-lethal aid. is lethal in effect the whole international effort is futile in

every sense of the word. on the eve of the anniversary of the sandy hook elementary school massacre the u.s. is hit once again by a similar tragedy a student has shot two classmates while hunting down a teacher coming up we report on why america is such fertile ground for gun violence. ireland has met an important milestone on the road to financial recovery it's the first country to break free from a eurozone bailout program after three years of receiving loans from international bankers the country has decided it can stand on its own feet our taste tests are still your reports. arlin will would itself be quote shackles of the troika on sunday and will wake up on monday as a quote normal european country standing on equal footing a confident claim by prime minister kenny ahead of the country's official exit from its bailout program for eighty five billion euros it cost the irish three years of

painful austerity higher taxes slashed minimum wage which has since been raced back high youth unemployment and another wave of irish immigration i'm not sure that the hard ideological divide of austerity which was coming forth from europe was a good one to irish people would be to nice to see the end of the troika to see the opportunity for a street gang or economic sovereignty to be up to make our own decisions in relation to our future the government here is touting the exit from the bailout program as restoring economic and financial freedom but no one here is under any illusion that that exit would also mean an end to hardships or complete release from austerity while the idea of possibly having more control over their destiny as a nation is psychologically uplifting people really want is freedom from individual debt that so many here are still heavily burdened with. facing and long term slowdown in our structural growth we still are facing. in other words when

you look at the overall economic level of achievement in this bailout it's not really that significant yet at the same time that we should go to the nation to the government to the nation was. calling. in dublin city center sights and sounds of the festive season our president means hello to lose you feel a kick to the curb no one would celebrate the banner. be happy were exiting from us will it have any impact on. the budget for this year or next year no will it to read the mortgage arrears figures take a dramatic change next quarter know just to see the. now recent polls suggest that half of violence population believe the government did a good job driving the country out of the bailout in the meantime seventy three percent hope that austerity measures will be eased we gauge of public opinion on

the streets of dublin. i suppose is a positive move but. said today we're still bold to germany france the bigger economies in europe so. for the internet of a go to the b.b.c. to make much difference to the holding to you know we've come to a bad time we've come out with something or saying say you know you like a certain you like it i think it's good i think they have to stand on their own two feet i think they can yes i do. the irish government says the country's economy is recovering though it could take years to pay back the loans despite all that political analyst derek john epping says ireland success sends a separate a positive message to other bailed out countries. finally ireland achieved to get out of the hole get back to economic growth and leave the bailout the so it's a welcome on the financial markets that's quite an achievement because it showed

that through fiscal consolidation it is possible to recover. example full griese full portugal for cyprus and others the issue basically is how much time do we have when all the economies of greece italy spain portugal signpost growing again if it is going to be one or two years like in ireland it will be very good but if it going to be ten years it's going to be very low and i'm afraid that many citizens in those countries will look accept this take do you know if this is going to be a stake nations. i think this will have very serious political consequences decades after the end of apartheid in south africa there are still plenty of unresolved anger. it's definitely unsafe because if you see no white person you're wrong as a nation mourns the death of nelson mandela racial tensions are still strong in some

places across the country we go to one such area later in the program. a case of incest and depravity as shocked australia in a remote valley police discovered a family that has been interbreeding for four generations brother sister father daughter own niece resulting in a gruesome outcome for all involved in what the police refer to as an incest cults. i know what you're thinking you're thinking that sounds a whole lot like wall street sons and daughters program where sons and daughters of the fathers and mothers aunts and uncles ruling the world are hard to see the banking system of the generation genetically identical to us war for dead products . speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's cool here.

south africa's government officials are paying their last respects to nelson mandela before his burial on sunday but as the country mourns many fear his death may reveal serious tensions in the still divided state party's policy player reports from a suburb of johannesburg where life is far from what mandela envisioned for his country. it's definitely unsafe because if you seen a white person around. us in this core you can is taking us on a drive through the streets of his childhood this was a wealthy white neighborhood in the time of a part eight. is now a very different place i would look at me a camera gary anything. of value i wouldn't wear a watch i wouldn't read anything that could make me vulnerable to be attacked or be robbed a handful of white south africans still live here most are too old or too poor to move out of and stephen is one of the few who still call hillbrow home it's

a pretty they're pretty busy. because i think with the current government things. this is going to. mean. twenty three years after the end of apartheid south africa remains plagued with unresolved racial tension. while people they still have the opportunity. vaguely. distanced themselves to the blokes who are never members well we couldn't be on the streets of off to night at night some black south africans he admits are still angry it may be they have but a good word or something because they nor the door it's really. their being there while they hate girls and while it's the good of this thing that they have miley in the movie they do we don't have miley at times south africa

seems very far from the country mandela hoped it would be instead of becoming a melting pot of different cultures and colors suburbs like hillbrow are today places where whites are too afraid to go and where the black population remembers very well they once were. the past the present and the future balance put side by side as the nation mourns its most famous son and wonders what comes next. johannesburg. more news is coming up in about half an hour but before that if you're watching r t international max and stacy take you through the global financial headlines in the latest kaiser report and if you're in the u.k. prepare to meet the inhabitants of sun's polynesian islands to face talks the dangers that are masked by nature is beauty.

as we all know the holidays are a great time for families to get together and sometimes on the l. call gets flowing they're also a great time for us to argue about everything from politics to religion with the ones we love but if you happen to be an n.s.a. agent and the government has an official list of talking points that way you can win those family arguments for sure yeah that's right the government is not giving n.s.a. agents lists a very corny talking points going to firedoglake so that way they can convince their relatives over the holidays of just how awesome effective and necessary the national security agency truly is despite all those little revelation things of mass spying by snowden trust me talking points exist for a reason political social and religious organizations and use them so that when

their members who may not be the best debaters on the planet can defend the positions of the organization and i would have no problem with the n.s.a. gave this list to agents they could answer questions from journalists but when the government wants you to propagandize your friends and family over christmas and thanksgiving it all seems kind a cultish to me that's just my opinion. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred and twenty three days. through two hundred cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand kilometers. in
