sunday traditional people. start to divorce violent all scenario so two hundred meters from me two hours ago the people who wanted to come to the governmental building and to vote on that on the sole ukrainian parliament building they were stopped by police and small group of radicals socialists groups of rights verticals members told me it's not their political radicals but some people who are aggressive and they started to fight against the police. the started to throw in the pure text next to them and. their voice on some of them and the start of the clash as so the question is i have been in now even now so that you. stopped you in this second so to say that this people are trying to break into their parliament

old buildings. to violent and some of the protest members of your own mind on are not supporting them and there are a lot of discussions on the europeans can score now so there are some people who support violence and some people who don't. have you seen any injured people there are toll. i'm sure you can use a one time have you seen any people injured there are told soft uno. yeah i saw those people so the result of medical medical most are around the europe they're true trying to help to somebody because their policeman used the gas and author that a lot of people have problems with health now and they need their medical support and i know that some awfully policeman also has some problems one of the policeman special force members were beaten by the radicals and after that he was

put into the room went down so two hundred meters there beside me and medicals are helping him andre you talked about a radical hard line elements there who are they and how many of them of the. so. on europe a square now there are some thousand people but only one hundred of them we are this right radicals who are fighting against the police all other people are just standing and watching out there is. this people are not supported by all the political parties and a few seconds ago all the earlier so if you can in opposition said that they don't support the all the radicals radical environmental things which are happening now and you have and they need only the peaceful scenario and they are not to give they can support this people and this right radicals so they are not controlled by pollutions it's like an alternative right article movement in ukraine and some

experts think that this people are controlled by ukrainian special forces all right andre brushed avoid the ukrainian journalist thanks for the update much appreciated . just fresh back from ukraine not too long ago in fact as well yourself from the scenes you've been saying playing today against those with this new law. in a series of laws that are. surprised by what's happened today that i know is a letter from. no because it looks it either had to it would say burst into flame earlier right when they started back in november or it got to the point where they have to do something and by they i mean the protesters and of course the government as well but mostly the protesters because for a while there they tried to you know keep it coming in waves they were waiting for the dispersal. it's going to happen people kept getting messages through their phones and through twitter. with threatening messages which were essentially saying

we're about to be ambushed there the police are about to attack because there's going to be you know essentially all hell breaking loose and it never happened so i think it got to the point where they just had to to have done something if you. want to for the well you know today it's really i mean i wasn't particularly there today but from what i've seen from what i've observed it's probably really quite safe to say that we've probably had several hundred of these ultranationalist. not even activists protest and there's plenty of them here at the mine donna do you want to try to get over this you know honestly if i were to speak from personal point of view i would say this is exactly what they wanted then the mayhem not even publicity so much it's basically a collection of young men who are violent determined to not even bring attention to themselves they feed on the on the chaos and the mayhem and that and they confrontations with police and and once they get to these confrontations they can

be very while and i mean they have they have sticks they're prepared to be. the opposition very much distancing themselves from absolutely ordinary citizens caught up a little bit or a fact there were reports that i read on twitter from some of the journalists who are tweeting and they said that for a while there it looked like klitschko was actually about to come to blows with the people who have actually started burning the bus and at one point they tried to direct the bus somebody got into the bus and tried to direct them at the police if we go back to back to deliberate december there was already an incident when they tried to run a bulldozer into the police as well so this is sort of a repeat of what we saw back then just a month ago essentially but it does look a lot does look a lot severe of course it's much more colorful now and goodness knows how long this is going to go for rewinding the clock. very briefly. back back in the day basically it was about the fact that you know which failed or

brother i would say he pulled out at the very last moment from signing i trade agreement with the european union but everybody in ukraine seemed a lot of people i shouldn't say everybody you know there were a lot of people especially in the western part of ukraine which always tries to associate with europe though there were people who are saying hey this was our essentially first step into the european union and now we are robbed of the chance which essentially wasn't the case but let's not delve into that and afterwards the basically the first protests were about against the whole pulling away from the european union but now they're completely different now it's against the government now they're protesting now they're saying this is a revolution in one of the government to step down the protests is a. set of new restrictions that was signed in late last week absolutely yes there is there are several laws which sound very complicated but essentially what they do is they give more power to the judges they protect the judges they also essentially cut down on people's right to protest on

my down so people a lot of people on my done saw that as sort of an attempt to squash the protests. go to the latest pictures now taken full frame i think hopefully we got to stay with me for supporting. those pictures i think we're getting a free from square. it looks looks like a mobile phone or a picture but if that's the latest live scene can you just. take a look at. this so you know yes it's actually it's right in the center of the city and this is essentially the. this is exactly where the protest happened it's right near there you are my don but it's one street away essentially it's right around the corner from the hotel that where we were staying and generally that's where that's where the police used to. sort of get together and protect the is right there the ukrainian parliament so there were a lot of. i asked them protecting it from the protesters should the protests turned

violent but they actually weren't that violent for quite a while. i do not believe easier to cope is likely to be swayed by any of this at this stage mean agreements been most signed with russia doesn't preclude future relations with the rest of the music. at this point we can we can assume that probably he has to do something obviously. he also needs to talk to think about needs to think about the consequences obviously of course i'm no political analyst but at this point it does look like there is there is a really high chance that we could be seen early elections because there is very little chance that this is going to just sit and peacefully now especially after what we've been seeing today klitschko he's. been foremost in a lot of this was he was the darling boy you know what are his chances for the future that obviously you know from what i've been observing it does look like he is the favorite of the people who are on the way done and of course all of the many

european officials who were there and were shaking hands with him and meeting with him and basically he is the darling of the ukrainian protests and those who support the protest but at this point especially as of earlier today again from what i was reading people are actually on the who are protesting independence going to of at this point they're unhappy even with klitschko because look at this is we are into the second were over the second month of protests and they cannot agree on anything they decided not even to bring out a unified candidate should the elections take place and a lot of people i think were really upset by that which shows that essentially there is three of them three leaders of the protest and they cannot even come together and they cannot agree on the fact who is going to be the leader and that's what people were chanting earlier today they were it was shouting leader leader because that's exactly what they need and they don't see a lot of talk very little action. tonight covering it much more this

very near future as well the looks with a correspondent there. ok without his lectures eskies also covered last year's protests in ukraine he's following the terminal right now and you can follow him on twitter of course follow him for the most dramatic pictures. to other news now syria's main opposition groups finally said he will attend peace talks in geneva after months of hesitation the made the decision just a few days before the summit due to begin the opposition over insists the removal of bashar al assad from power remains its only priority what he called his kind of looks back at this week's diplomatic twists and turns with time running out before the start of geneva two conference on syria it was a busy week for global diplomacy it's our hope that in the face to face meeting of the regime and the opposition will be the beginning of the beginning. the end to

this unspeakable conflict never before have russia and the us been so united over syria holding damascus and the rebels both responsible for atrocities standing together for a political solution and going further still we wouldn't be going to try to send the signals to all the syrian sides on the need to establish localized ceasefires to consider the lists of prisoners of war including civilians and also used to allow humanitarian aid to. washington you can turn around and stance on iran saying it could also take part in the conference so long as it supported previous international agreements on syria to keep our swing the foundation for he would say you are on the same page when it comes to the most important issues the same can be said about some western nations who may be risking it also haps right now just one wrong move is enough to bring down this diplomatic house of cards such as the mixed signals sent from france to the rebels who themselves took the whole week to decide

whether they'll take part. we don't have the assad regime on one side and terrorists on the other it is the regime that is fueling terrorism. such statements may be music to their ears but these are cynical statements the western military alliance has been recruiting right from the outset and it's confirmed by numerous. reliable sources from pairs the diplomatic which moved to moscow which was visited by syria and iran's chief diplomat the most this is confirmed. after much debate so has the opposition but still in question the ones produced by whites with its actions that it's a key player in the region and vital to peaceful solution for syria he was one of the parties. the syrian coalition's hesitation on traveling to geneva for their expose the deep divisions within the rebel camp syrian presidential advisor percentage band who was with the country delegation here in moscow this week said

the opposition in exile is going to do with the people living in syria. these parties first of all they have and they have been living outside syria for so many years they are kind of syria and. in arbroath the whole do not know what the syrian people are going through and second i think because of the source of finance i think many of them are receiving finances from different parties but anyone who lives with the syrian people who wants the interest of the syrian people to be above everything else would give the last priority to stopping this terrorism that is this throwing the lives of the syrian people i believe it's a question of what is the one the priority is is it the sea that people and syria and its territorial integrity or is it some personal interest being an ally for other forces another key player in the region is participation in the syrian peace

talks is a pretty areas around the coast pressuring the u.n. want to run but washington is still sending mixed signals about it former french prime minister dominic developments explained why he thinks it's crucial that iran takes part. ron should be as much as possible part of the talks because he one is a very regional important players i believe the dialogue that the international community is having with the ride on the nuclear question is a very important one we should try to go forward and settle and if we can have the royal board in discussing the current crisis of the region we are of course we will be much more efficient how can we solve the iraqi crisis and how can we solve the syrian crisis without your and that's why i really believe that the dialogue with this country is important and we should really take into account the fact that without having you run a border days no solution in the middle east well starting from monday are to bring

in a special preview of the long awaited geneva two talks plus as well where we don't miss the coverage we've got lined up for you from the event from wednesday. after two hours of. just over one hundred. little missy and common sense come together with one. war is not the answer. does peace have a chance. a hugely anticipated address from barack obama about the future of n.s.a. surveillance this last week was widely criticized as failing to push forward any actual reforms the agency will continue its work than with some restrictions on its activities authorities will now need to dish approvals the top someone's phone and foreign leaders of u.s. allies have been told they will no longer be the targets of espionage any data

which is gathered will no longer be stored by the government of though there was no explanation as to what will happen to it and critics say these measures will change nothing though end of the day. i wouldn't call it a reform i would call it the ongoing normalization of the outrageous policy of violating the fourth amendment on an enormous scale we're learning more as every week goes by about what they're collecting in terms of text messages and e-mails and admitted data and it's it's voluminous and the president is is not can admitting that anything has been done wrong is not proposing to stop doing it is not suggesting we restore the fourth amendment to the constitution he's suggesting that this will continue and it will be reformed perhaps in part someday but he claims it's been a great step forward i don't see it it has tactics caused outrage across the world

might have compared its activities to the full scale espionage of the cold war era a correspondent peter all of a looks at the similarities them. on finding out that the united states attempt to private mobile phone and confronted president obama with this claim. former offices in the east german secret police which was known as the stars e of a warning for the n.s.a. if they think must surveillance is the solution to a nation's problems who quote if it's even the best qualified and most advanced secret service cannot save the state we showed you that away from the professed shock of the politicians at the n.s.a. spying ability how does it compare with the actions of the east german secret services cheering the cold war disk and now it's really this is exactly as illegal as some of the tactics that the stars are used to employ it is

a breach of human rights but the government machine is so powerful that you can't stop it by edward snowden's leaks about the shape and scope of n.s.a. surveillance showing germany as one of the top targets for u.s. snooping again. on top of the communist leaning to devil's mountain life the remnants of the last major n.s.a. spying program to look into the private lives of the people of berlin or its abundant now back in the day this post was yours to listen in on the private phone calls of thousands of citizens in both the east and the west of the fifty. then it was thousands of calls now it's millions sometimes tens of millions of data connections that are tracked and logged. the way they do it now is much more intensive your web browsing history credit cards they can build a profile on you way easier than was ever possible in my day. didn't have access to

this type of technology they rely on developing personal contacts indices even those who are working in counterintelligence in the west were ours even they said it we were pretty good even then the fear of being listened into is taken seriously as one former officer charged with looking into nato told us human those fyrst my superior officer is there any technology we have that they can use to stop eavesdropping on my calls yes just don't pick it up these veterans of the spy game might be impressed by the capabilities of the n.s.a. but they're cautious about the quality of the information collected for lessons yet they relied too much on technology that technology might let you locate a person or listen to their cause it doesn't let you know what they think with the usa doing all it can to justify its intelligence gathering the operation dubbed the two point zero by critics looks set to continue for some time yet peter all over

germany. still to come in a program russian officials ban the fences of guantanamo bay a delegation from moscow given access to the last russian citizen being kept there told us that reminded washington of its unfulfilled promise to shut down the facility that's coming up shortly plus to explain the record breaking cost of the winter games in dispelling concerns over intrusive security the russian president speak to journalists just a few weeks now of course before such intimate details about what after the break. when you are followed around when you are being investigated because of the whim of someone this is the beginning of the end of your freedom. does do you know save me keenly intercept american citizens. text messages you know. where

the calls text messages so you just see everything without my knowledge that actually basically and there's no legal absolutely yes when you bareback with the internet you're back with big brother kill. one of your mom and watch t.v. all the face i think sometimes you. feel. a pleasure to have you with us here on our t.v. today i roll researcher.

top british furniture officials could soon be tried to be international criminal court for war crimes victims of the iraq war have submitted a dossier accusing forces of numerous cases of abuse and torture but the u.k. is fighting hard to prevent this service from facing a tribunal artie's police reports from london. up until now the international criminal court at the hague had mostly tried to african dictators and tyrants but the i.c.c. has been asked to investigate thousands of allegations of war crimes committed by british forces in iraq a two hundred and fifty page dossier presented by a human rights organization and a british law firm contains allegations of beatings of electrocution smoke executions and sexual assault committed by u.k. forces and according to the also as of this report the finger of blame extends to

the very heart of the british government at the time so the head of the british army the former defense secretary and the former defense minister could face prosecution for what this dossier calls systemic war crimes there are many hundreds of cases where the people have been interviewed in the provided reports about this abuse and it varies from what people might think are. relatively mundane examples of abuse to really quite appalling physical violence there are put says that british military commanders knew that their forces were committing war crimes and moreover that their civilian superiors cautiously ignored such information at their disposal but the u.k. foreign secretary william hague has already firmly rejected the suggestion that those at the top pair in westminster knew what was taking place on the ground in iraq we reject allegations of systematic abuse but whether all substantiated

allegations of things going wrong these things have been or are being investigated that does not require references to the international criminal court the position of the british government has constantly been or were doing enough the point of this is simply that they still haven't done enough there are right now. at the international criminal court two heads of state one of them the sitting head of state of kenya and the other the former head of state of called d'ivoire they're both on trial at the international criminal court not for getting their hands bloody they didn't do anything themselves but people under their authority or people they should have controlled were committing the crimes so if it's good enough for the african countries it should be good enough for the u.k. to the international criminal court has come under increasing pressure to act against war crimes committed by western countries it's now up to the prosecutor at the i.c.c. to go through the claims of abuse and to decide whether to call high ranking

british officials into the dock at the hague ali boy artsy london. but the majority of the contents of the reporter kept away from the eyes of the public over some extracts have come to light the dossier contends reports of killings beatings rape and various tortured methods that u.k. forces allegedly used on detained iraqis the families of inmates were also reportedly targeted the eight year old so the deed of one man was allegedly slapped by an officer when his father was arrested and a detainee being interrogated claimed soldiers threatened to rape his sister i spoke to a legal advisor at the european center for constitutional human rights about these accusations evidence shows that it's not only about individual single cases and incidents it's really a systematic pattern of representative acts which are cured and finding in our report or communication to the i.c.c. it's mars and single isolated incidents it's now is the time because the u.k.

had ten years to investigate to prosecute the direct perpetrators but also the higher ups. in the u.k. ten years and there are still hardly any prosecutions in the country so now it's simply the time that international courts have to step in. talk to dot com for the full interview with andrea schiller co-author of the report which accuses british forces of abuse and torture and taken of course in the stories were there as well like these the radiation of japan's stricken fukushima nuclear plant has hit record levels apparently the latest measurements suggest the worst leak in one reactor wells going straight into the ocean. also the u.k. politician who says he knows what storms and floods have battering the country he says is god retribution for legalizing gay marriage according to him read more about that online. where the sochi winter olympics are just

a few weeks away president ridhima putin spoke to foreign and russian members of the media he was keen to dispel concerns about security as well as to discuss some of the challenges of hosting the event. of oliver earlier spoke to andrew farmer who's in issues olympic city these games the most expensive in the limpid history and five times the original price tag for mr putin did stress that over the last five years so cheap was the biggest building site in the world all the venues had to be built from scratch and with huge infrastructural development in terms of roads and rail links and he said because of that it was expected things would go over budget but he said where overspend has not been justified action has been taken and people have actually lost their jobs including a russian olympic committee member who was in charge of the ski jump facility which went six and a half times over budget and he was fired however mr putin did say that there was no corruption among government officials are they in.
