7:01 am
hello and welcome to our team to national twenty four hour news live from moscow. and then story now. and these are no interest from the disaster as things are chill scenes from the ukrainian capital taken overnight the pictures show protests is running amok angry over plans for laws they say are aimed at punishing them for holding rallies the response has been fierce and mix of multiple cocked molotov cocktails clubs and fire balls thrown at police trying to stable for a revolution and i think russia is and can say well if a central kiev looks like a war what's happening that. indeed you said it correctly it looks like a war zone here in the korean capital kiev the scenes of sunday night something completely unprecedented fire on the police trucks molotov cocktails thrown rocks thrown at
7:02 am
the police the police responding with flash bangs all very loud very hard to breathe in central kiev because of all the pepper gas straight across the area something completely untypical back in december when the whole protest started when we saw the first violent clashes between the protesters and the police back then i said that i've never experienced anything like this in kiev i never expected i would be smelling a tear and pepper gas in kiev at this time it's even worse it looks like a full blown revolution and judging by the numbers that we are receiving the numbers of injured among those are journalists among those are policemen among those are protesters. that's a does suggest that this very serious violence and brutality coming from both sides of this protest and this is unlikely to die down anytime soon i just went to the place of the scene of the riot which is literally about three hundred meters from where i'm standing right now at independence square just literally seconds before
7:03 am
we went on air i heard another string of loud banging coming from that side suggesting that more a flash bang grenades were probably used by the police against the protesters so i . went to the scene of the riot and you can see what i want to report i filmed there just a short while ago. it's morning now in kiev but the chance in the right place where the invention rattled in a very violent manner yesterday are not dying down you can see what remains of the police cars and police buses which were burned yesterday afraid to fixing picture what happened here yesterday over there just literally fifty meters away from here all the police lines the right police the special regiment called the better because they're trying to secure the governance of water yesterday on sunday the protesters gathered for a typical rally after that they decided to form the government the court and the clashes with the police erupted we have information that more than seventy police
7:04 am
officers have been living to hospitals with different injuries that still remain pretty much all but there was some some very brutal scenes of the police officers being beaten up also there was some violence from the police reportedly they used rubber bullets against the crowd so we can see from time to time most of cocktails ropes and flash bangs are being thrown from both sides dodes each other this is the live barricade with the protesters. against the police they're still here we can see like the spent literally several thousand people the numbers are expanding as the day progresses really unclear where this whole going to go but so far it's been very very tense the word on the ground is that the police may actually try to assail to the barricades on the independence square which has been there for almost two months now and this may end in very violent very violent scenario will send you know the president on a cover just met with some opposition leaders that he's ready to hold negotiations with the opposition but this is not the talk of the town right here the people are
7:05 am
still very much determined put the government to resign for the president to step down this is their goal this is a no longer appro e.u. protest which it was at the. beginning of the protest story give this is a purely governmental. we're searching for going all the developments of what's happening in the capital here. despite the footage coming in from kiev and reports of more injuries among policeman than protesters the u.s. sticking to its position of blaming the local authorities. going to her reports it looks like the scene is being prepared for the final asked. as rocks went flying and police buses went up in flames the opposition leaders very quickly found the man responsible for the mayhem ukraine's president if they're going to forage or break as much as we demand that you stop the escalation of the situation get the police off the streets dissolve the parliament and call for early
7:06 am
parliamentary and presidential elections do not repeat the fate of ceausescu and get after. the fact that the riots were started by several hundred protesters hailing from the ultra nationalist camp on the independence square seems to have been swept under the carpet the police had to the standards shower of rocks and molotov cocktails the government and abolition of criticism for using water cannons and rubber bullets to contain the raging crowd think recent tension in ukraine is a direct consequence of the government failing to acknowledge their legitimate grievances of its people the u.s. will continue to consider additional steps including sanctions in response to the use of violence and though the voters leaders and members chanted revolution much of the night the west seemed indifferent for the open calls for more a step under these conditions we don't want to live we don't want to work that's why we're going to change the power of what the score is some sematic seventy policemen were injured twenty protesters arrested cameras captured the scenes of
7:07 am
the rioters vicious attacks against the security forces yet for the western leaders and for the ukrainian opposition this seems to be the european way to solve ukraine's internal political issues. we have european values we have european principles we have european rights that we must uphold in each and every european country this type of pressure seems to be effective not even twenty four hours after the riots started president in the coverage has already made concessions to the opposition going as far as a meeting with katie couric and that by the rampaging log in independence square you. opposition seems to be in a win win situation either by getting a change of leadership by force or simply forcing early elections but with radicals there it's now well and truly spilt and key of the question is would the opposition be capable of getting it back in the bottle it even goes r.t. . the us secretary of state was also highly critical of the ukrainian leadership
7:08 am
but as the editor and publisher of business new europe told us by speaking out the west is only denying its own democratic values it's not a democratic process i mean the problem with face here is is that ukraine is actually divided fairly even the last polls i saw fifty percent of the people supported the protests that have just over forty were against it was seven percent on i decided which means that the opposition doesn't have a clear moral authority a mandate from the people in order to change the government moreover you have to remember at the end of the day for his ills and he has many on a call this remains a democratically elected president and for the last twenty years we've been saying to the eastern european countries that we need to respect democracy however here we are a situation where you have to take the in the u.s. saying well forget everything we said the last twenty years let's support these guys because they are fighting for quote unquote freedom so this is
7:09 am
a double standard going on here. as the political crisis in ukraine escalates what can pay off today for the what's happening there in twenty twenty four seven. with the long awaited geneva two peace talks on syria just paid days away oh say is beginning its special coverage of the diplomatic buildup to naysaying which aims to find a way to as the bloody conflict. the list of exactly who will be in germany right is in question again see where is made opposition group in exile if threatening to go back on an earlier agreement to attend at cannes in response to the un chief sending an invitation to iran one of the key players in the region to take part in the talks russia's foreign minister said this doubt i would be a positions of willingness to find
7:10 am
a solution. to that but that if anyone doubting the necessity of all influential players taking part in geneva two is not seeking an end to the syrian crisis these are just whims the syrian government imposes no preconditions and is even willing to sit with countries directly arm the rebels it's not just the moderates so does that mean damascus demands their exclusion the goal of any talks is to bring to the negotiating table not just the parties you like but all those whom the solution to the problem depends on. even of the three were national coalition down the times the peace talks and its priorities are likely to be very different from with opponents if leader earlier said forming an interim government without bashar al assad must be the main aim of the conference the syrian leader himself has said stopping the spread of terrorism should be their primary focus
7:11 am
though the geneva two conference must lead to great results when it comes to fighting terrorism or any other outcome does not touch upon the combating of terrorism would be of no well you talk. and there real fear is that terror is cutting that teeth in syria could spread across the e.u. europeans make up a big chunk of this seventeen thousand four hundred honda is still to be in the water home country the big if you a pain contribute to a france as many as seven hundred of its nationals could be in syria right now belgium and the u.k. are also in the top three the war result happens when they return home all she said half us called top with one london a who loved his brother to war thousands of miles from home. young british traveling to syria now hundreds. and according to one expert the now part of the largest european islamist foreign

fighting contingent in recent times to at least eleven hundred. two. hundred it was from this picturesque seaside town in portsmouth this a group of young men recently left to go and join the fight in syria months ago when news reached the community that twenty three year old it's a kitchen man was killed last fighting on the syrian front line this is the local mosque that if the current number of his friends attended before they left syria where they join one of the most radical opposition groups operating in the country isis the islamic state of iraq and show the before he died if it was active on social media pasting videos an update. now in the first interview since his brother's death mistaken german exclusively tells r.t. he wants to set the record straight about his brother really was and why he thinks
7:13 am
he went to fight difference between. a uniform just because he was in uniform. or something. just because. different. people in uniform. people. as a country. people like many foreign fighters crossed into syria via turkey it was only once he informed his family he had gone to fight jihad or holy war do you think the young men. she has. completely misinterpreting with the jihad and specially in the city it is it is in this completely wrong concept and wrong wrong idea there are other members of the
7:14 am
religious community we met in portsmouth agree and they're under no doubts as to one of the major challenges in tackling you think gauge moment social media friends in other places they get lead parts of who this looks interesting and suddenly they're listening to the teaching and i know that our leaders here of course with would not support i don't think the problem exists within any of the mosques in portsmouth per se the issue lies in where if those mosques and not delivering what the youth want they may look for it somewhere else cross the country and europe wide and the syrian conflict is gauging the young generation like now that the four years ago a member of my friends we were just ordinary boys you know just never thought about this openness spoke about you know we're still you know still aware was going around the world but we never thought you know my brother one this one year older than me is. going to be who died in

7:19 am
here watching all seem to nationals good to have your way that let's move on now iran has started to hold if you are a new man we're trying to run to a long long deal that came into effect today in exchange for coming its nuclear ambitions the west promised to ease the burden of functions on they made nice country so let's not take a closer look at what iran is gaining so the total economic relief for the country over the next six months is seven billion dollars most. so that money point two billion dollars will be accessible through rainy and funds overseas which will be unblocked the rest is coming from an easing of restrictions on the export of petrochemical goods precious metals and financial transitionals coming up next
7:20 am
however the move is just the beginning as for the next tough we get iran and six world powers have to reach a final compromise but as own cheese point is clear reports the plan the pasta agreement may not be easy. from today a deal between iran and the international community goes into effect that will see iran freeze parts of its nuclear program in return for the easing of sanctions in terms of the agreement there will no longer be restrictions on the rain and exports of picture chemicals the country will also be able to import parts for its auto manufacturing industry and trade in gold and other precious metals the next six months are critical because it is during last time frame that the international community and iran will need to reach a final agreement that many fear without which could ultimately see the border middle east descend into chaos and possibly even a war what is clear is that there has been goodwill and the wanting for this deal
7:21 am
to work that has overridden the skeptics and the voices calling for fresh sanctions but what is not clear is how the united states is going to maneuver its way forward it has a very fine line to walk on the one hand you have his role there continues to say that this was a deal with the devil you also have u.s. congressmen and women who are calling for fresh sanctions but on the other hand you have iran's which essentially the american prison barack obama is urging to come to the party and he himself needs to show transparency and commitment why not alienating for example his friend tel aviv in the region so the next six months are going to be critical the hope is that at the end of half a year you will have a permanent deal in place between iran and the international community policy r.t. tel aviv. now from where to online officials into u.s. states consider bringing the death penalty by shooting a shortage of lethal drugs is forcing local norway goes to resurrect

7:23 am
investigate and document now they've sent out another delegation but not to a war torn failed state or dictatorship it's come here to the u.k. to look into international concerns that the government reaction to the guardian publishing edward snowden's revelations on the n.s.a. was way over the top and very worrying for press freedoms the paper says its face says to sit and the threat of legal action. you are the chief executive of the organization. and you were already concerned about the state of press freedom in the u.k. before the snowden affair up. studying the the leveson case. we've always as an organization that you care about self-regulation all over the world always concerned about a situation especially in the unmeasured democracy like u.k. we set an example to the rest of the world where they can be potentially
7:24 am
a risk to. creating an exceptional case of interference between the public authorities the state and the freedom of the press basic principle which is far as the mother of all the principles and civic rights and then of course following leveson the snowden affair blew up what specifically are you concerned about about the government's reaction to the guardian's publication of the n.s.a. leak there might be some risk actually be. that the british since generally speaking. tends to believe. they could bypass the future of professional journalism it's a big concern about. a general trend which could. effect i should be. the rights of citizens might be a connection with the political environment with the state and as soon as there is a connection it was the states you can trust. the sustainability of

faire attitude put it to sions that's not penn admits the u.k. visit is unprecedented but his oaken a station is worried that any violation of the freedom of the press here will give others carte blanche to oppress their own media and throwing away three hundred years of press freedom inside a single year is not something to be ignored. now some other global headlines this hour on and on about the suicide bomber killed at least thirteen people in pakistan city of rawalpindi the explosion was at a military checkpoint near the army headquarters considered to be the city's most secure area the blast follows yesterday's deadly assault on a military convoy in the country's southwest with islamists violent father attacks against the army. tons of police released a video showing a suspect throwing a grenade at a protest account vs
