talks on syria for the country's main opposition group says it will drop out of the negotiations. and syria's president says the upcoming conference must focus on talking terrorism about help but look at how mercenaries from europe contribute to the spread of your hardest violence that. international news and comment live from moscow you're watching military international with me. hello and welcome to the program. now beings and not images from the disaster zone these are actual scenes from the ukrainian capital taken overnight the pictures show protesters running along angry over plans for laws they
9:03 am
say are aimed at punishing them for holding rallies the response has been fear is a mix of molotov cocktails clubs and fire bombs all thrown at police trying to stave off a revolution there. is in a cave for. it's morning now in kiev but that sanction at the right place where the investments unraveled 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 a pretty depicting picture of 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 they're trying to secure the governments of water yesterday on sunday the protesters gathered for a typical rally after that they decided to form the government record and the clashes with the police erupted we have information that more than seventy police officers have been. to hospitals with different injuries that still remained pretty
9:04 am
much although there was something in the scenes of the police officers beating up also there was some violence from the police report that the they used rubber bullets against the crowd so we can see from time to time loads of cocktails ropes and flash bangs are being thrown from both sides towards 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 all going to go but so far it's been very very time the word on the ground is that the police may actually try to hold the barricade on the independence square which has been there for almost two months now and this may end in very violent very violent scenario will you know the president on the 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 still very much determined for the government to resign for the
9:05 am
president to step down this is their goal this is a no longer appro e.u. protest which it was at the beginning of this whole protest story here this is a purely anti governmental movement we're starting following all the developments of what's happening in the ukrainian capital here. dozens of policemen remain hospitalized with head injuries from cheers and poisoning by unknown substances the interior ministry is claiming the opposition is now arming the protesters with clubs but despite the e.u. is sticking to its positional blaming the local authorities there and as a rino going to reports it appears this scene is being set for the final act. 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 for it is that if we demand that you stop the escalation of the situation get the police off the streets dissolve the parliament and calling for
9:06 am
early parliamentary and presidential elections are going to not repeat the fate of child cesco and get aberrated 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 withstand a 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 us will continue to consider additional steps including sanctions in response to the use of violence and though the vote is the those and members chanted revolution in 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 words of whether this core is sibs emetic seventy policemen were injured twenty protesters arrested cameras captured the
9:07 am
scenes of 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 meeting with good and bad by the rampaging log in and a billion square. ukrainian 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 in kiev 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
9:08 am
saying the new protest alone was would deprive the nation of its hatred but the editor and publisher of business new europe told us he believes by speaking out the west is only denying its own democratic whining it's not a democratic process i mean the problem with face here is that ukraine is actually divided fairly evenly the last polls i saw fifty percent of the people supported the protests but at just over forty were against it seventy seven 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 had a call this remains a democratically elected president and for the last twenty years we've been saying to the eastern european countries that they need to respect democracy however here we are in a situation where you know that the in the u.s.
9:09 am
saying well forget everything we said for the last twenty years let's support these guys because they are fighting for quote unquote freedom so this is a double standard going on here. as the political crisis in ukraine ask what came up to date with what's happening in twenty four seven. where the long awaited geneva two peace talks on syria just paid days away is beginning its special coverage will be a diplomatic build up time a saying which aims to find a way to end the bloody conflict. and unless there were exactly who will be internet is in question again soon whereas main opposition group in exile is threatening to go buying an early agreement to attend at cannes in response to the u. one chip sending an invitation to iran one of the key players in the region to take part in the talks syrian national council now says the invite has to be was drawn by eleven pm g.m.t.
9:10 am
or it will not show up russia's foreign minister sat this causes a doubt over the opposition's willingness to find a solution. anyone judging the necessity of all influential players taking part in geneva two it 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 tour is to bring to the negotiating table not just the parties you like but all those whom the solution to the problem depends on. and even they say were national coalition a dozen times the peace talks its priorities are likely to be very different from the out from the ones of its opponents its leader said forming an interim government without bashar al assad must be the main aim of the conference they say
9:11 am
when leader himself has said stopping the spread of terrorism should be the primary focus less now listen at. the geneva two conference must lead to concrete results when it comes to fighting terrorism and the other outcome that does not touch on the combating of terrorism would be of no value at all. and there are real fears that terrorists cutting their teeth in syria could splash could spread across the e.u. europeans make up a big chunk of these seventeen thousand foreign jihad it is thought to be in the war torn country the biggest european contributor is france as many as seven hundred of its nationals could be in square right now under belgium and they you care also in the top three that the warriors what happens when they return home. caught up with one british citizen who lost his brother to thousands of miles from home. a young british traveling to syria
9:12 am
a hundred people. and according to one experts 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 and these reached a 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
9:13 am
brother's death mr kinch him on exclusively tells r.t. he wants to set the record straight about who his brother really was and why he thinks he went to fight difference between. a uniform just because he was in uniform. just because. different. people in uniform always fight for people. as a country. people like many foreign fighters crossed into syria via turkey it was only once he informed his family he'd gone to fight jihad or holy war do you think the young men. she was.
9:14 am
complete. and especially in the city it is it is in this completely wrong concept and wrong wrong idea there are other members of the religious community we met in portsmouth agree and they're under no doubt says to one of the major challenges in tackling you think gauge moment social media friends in other places they get led down a path of who looks interesting and suddenly they're listening to the teaching and i know that our leaders here in ports 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 gauging the young generation like never before you go a member of my friends who are just ordinary boys you know just never thought about
9:15 am
seven or spoke about you know we're still still aware of what's going on around the world but we have thought you know my brother one this one year older than me is. going to be who died in a belfort just something that hasn't sunk in for me or a lot of people so i know it's happened but it's still and sunk in so for full full force and. so. putting from portsmouth in the south of england. and out he has also been closely following the story of a belgian father whose son converted to islam left for syria to join the rebels so his father dimitri made several trips to be a war torn country and managed to finally bring his son home but he told r.t. it was the belgian government that should have. i succeeded in my mission to bring my son back and you see cool things there really cool things also things going on there this against human rights he was against so all these kind of things and you
9:16 am
guys are so against i don't let you off of some of the rubble groups how many young people from here about fighting there whether they mostly come from what's motivating them tell us more. look i'm sure. if you're talking about only us we're talking about and believe me i know what i'm saying we're talking about between fifteen and twenty thousand. at this moment and every day every day they are still going to syria everything else they still arrive into that's just bypass the banner in syria and they're still going to syria betterment is doing nothing to stop this i have proven in my dead mission that it's possible to return youngsters because i brought my son back with that's a bet i understand about the respect for my own government so i have proven that this possible so if i've proven its right other governments. of course will be
9:17 am
updating you on any developments that could affect the geneva two peace conference on syria through on the day to day plans don't miss our special coverage of the summit that starts on wednesday. just a little over one hundred. c. and common sense come together with one. war is not do you know. does. come your way make time to program a historic deal comes into effect the one you can funds in line it's kind of being uranium enrichment and exchange for an easing of sanctions off the reports of all the future holds what a trick in a game say szell still ahead. under threat to three hundred years of press freedom and the international mission goes to london to investigate whether the government
9:18 am
is trying to control the media in the wake of edward snowden's leaks that's not the break. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. as a new physician. to go. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise of those to do so. i will never do i.
9:19 am
don't deserve to die. this isn't c. international i from moscow welcome back iran has started to hold a few raymond returned under a landmark deal that came into effect today in exchange for curbing its nuclear ambitions the west promised to ease the burden of sanctions on the middle east country and let's now take a closer look at iran is gaining here the total economic relief for the country over the next six months is seven billion dollars while still that money four point
9:20 am
two billion dollars will be accessible through a ring of funds of the season which will be unblocked the rest is coming from an easing of restrictions on the export of petrochemical goods precious metals and financial transactions you can see here how about the move is just the beginning as well the next tougher yeah iran and six world powers have to reach a final compromise but as also has pointed to now reports they passed agreement maybe not. 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 they will no longer be restrictions on the reigning exports of petro 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
9:21 am
months are critical because it is stringless 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 good will and the wanting for this deal 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 had new is congressmen and women who are calling for fresh sanctions but on the other hand you have iran's which essentially the american president barack obama is urging to come to the party and he himself needs to show transparency in the middle and not alienating for example his friend tel aviv in the region so the next six months are going to be critical for the hope is that at the end of hoffer year you will have
9:22 am
a permanent deal in place between iran and the international community r.t. tel aviv. so while the global headlines this hour iraq's capital by the dutch i think guys who is an exposure is in creating cobol's killing over twenty four and injuring scores more close to the bluff happened in share neighborhoods where the dead missed a tight time getting a call ignored it then while the iraqi army is an atheist we're told that al qaeda linked militants in the city of ramadi this is the large part of it and. you foreign ministers have approved the deployment of several hundred troops to the central african republic to reinforce peacekeepers from france and the african union meanwhile a transitional parliament in the african country has elected a new interim leader amid i'm going clashes between rival christian and muslim militants that in the latest reports say at least fifty people have been killed in the country over the weekend as into a total death toll of over one thousand. i mean to nationalize ation that
9:23 am
inspired for violations of media freedom across the world is on its first ever mission to the u.k. there are growing concerns about government pressure being put on the press in britain falling there also was his response to the guardian newspaper printed leaks from n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden and some suggest three hundred years of press freedom is under threat lower smith investigate. the world association of newspapers and news publishes isn't an organization everyone has heard of but if you live under a government that violates press freedoms it's likely they will have visited to investigate and document now they've sent out another delegation but not to a war torn failed state or dictatorship it's come 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.
9:24 am
was way over the top and very worrying for press freedoms the paper says its face says to sit on the threats of legal action. of the chief executive of the organization that. you were already concerned about the status of press freedom in the u.k. before the snowden affair up. studying the religious and. we've always as an organization taking care of patients all over the world always concerned about the situation especially in the unmeasured democracy like u.k. we set an example to the rest of the world where they can be potentially 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
9:25 am
about about the government's reaction to the guardian's publication of the n.s.a. leak there might be some risk actually. that the british instead of the speaking. tends to believe. they could bypass the future of professional journalism it's a big. general. pete. that's the rights of citizens might be a connection with the political environment was the state and as soon as there is a connection to the states you can trust. the sustainability of. put it to. me think u.k. visit is unprecedented but his organization is worried that any violation of the freedom of the press here will give others caught blows to oppress their own media
9:26 am
and throwing away three hundred years of press freedom inside a single year is not something to be ignored. and coming up next after the break is selfish about monson talks to the man who stood alone against one. another whistle blower is facing a lot of heat including a wave of death threats but what did she discover some sort of dark secret cia plans or some other plot for a new war of luxury no she exposed something far more dangerous and important to the zombies on their couches the university of north carolina athletes are mentally unfit for college and even high school mary willing come blew the whistle on the fact that between eight and ten percent of the school's football and basketball players read of a fourth grade level and many others are sub college level she also claims that
9:27 am
these students were allowed into the university based on the screening process done by the university implying that the u. of n.c. knew exactly who they were letting into the university remember college football makes a lot of money i always had a feeling that something like this was going on i mean according to usa today many college athletes claim that during the season they put in more than double the amount of hours on sports that they are allowed that's fifty to sixty hours a week how can they possibly learn anything. maybe it isn't so sad that this goes on it is a reflection of economics what is sad is that the whistleblower is getting death threats just for saying that it is going on by those stupid hard core fans but that's just my opinion. polls are my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports and let the players know i will leave them to stapling a comment on your latter point to say. ok a car is on the docket no.
9:28 am
thank you no more weasel words. when you need a direct question and be prepared for a change when you're done you should be ready for a. pretty tough speech and slid down to freedom to watch. hello and welcome to city until i'm sophie shevardnadze big banks have been blamed for causing the global crisis in two thousand and eight still they were bailed out by governments and kept afloat to save world economies from falling into ruins but even now what do we know about their activities while will definitely learn more
9:29 am
