ropes and flash bangs are being thrown from both sides towards each other this is the live barricade with the protesters. against the police there still here we can see like the cement 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 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 and a very violent very violent scenario will come to know that president obama 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 president to step down this is their goal this is a no longer afro e.u. protest which it was at the beginning of this whole protest story of this is a purely anti governmental movement we're starting following all the developments
10:04 am
of what's happening in the ukraine capital here. ski's closely following the ongoing turmoil in ukraine and you can find the latest on his twitter feed and he says protesters have started building and an actual actual rather catapult to send projectiles into the police ranks and follow him for the most dramatic pictures and up to date information. so dozens of policemen remain hospitalized and killed with had injuries fractures and poisoning by unknown substances the interior ministry is claiming the opposition is now arming the protesters with clubs but despite a use sticking to its position of blaming the local authorities and as a report it appears the scene is being set for the final act. as rocks went flying and police buses went up in flames the opposition leaders really quickly found the man responsible for the mayhem ukraine's president get to
10:05 am
the footage or break is that this we demand that you stop the escalation of the situation get the police off the streets dissolve the parliament and call for early parliamentary and presidential elections are going to do not repeat the fate of ceausescu and get after it the fact that the riots were started by several hundred protesters hailing from the ultra nationalist camp on the defensive square seems to have been split into the party the police had to the standard 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 christian 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 protest leaders and members chanted revolution in much of the night the west seemed indifferent for the open calls for more
10:06 am
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 whether the score is some sematic seventy policemen were injured twenty protesters arrested cameras captured the 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 lights started president in a club which has already made concessions to the opposition going as far as you know 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
10:07 am
there it's now well it's really 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 saying the new un to protest the laws would deprive the nation of its but the editor and publisher of business new europe told as human lives by speaking out the west is only denying its own democratic running it's not a democratic process i mean the problem with face here is 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 the 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 yet to call this remains a democratically elected president and for the last twenty years we've been saying
10:08 am
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. 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. and as a political crisis in ukraine escalates what k.p. up to date with what's happening in care twenty four seven. with the long awaited geneva peace talks on syria just a few days away o.c. is beginning its special coverage of the diplomatic buildup to me saying well trains to find a way to end the bloody conflict. the presence of syria's main opposition group internee were is in question again they western backed body issued an ultimatum threatening not to show up after the u.n. invited iran they say were national council is demanding that either iran proves
10:09 am
its commitments to setting up an interim government in syria or the new one withdraw its invite but russia's foreign minister said this caused doubts over the opposition's unwillingness to find a solution. anyone judging 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 top is to bring to the negotiating table not just the parties you like but all those whom the solution to the problem depends on. the syrian national coalition does attends the peace talks its priorities are likely to be very different from its opponents its leader earlier said forming an interim
10:10 am
government without wash are assigned a main aim of the conference they say we need to himself said stopping the spread of terrorism should be the primary focus. the geneva two conference must lead to concrete results when it comes to fighting terrorism and the other outcome that does not touch upon the come back to you of terrorism would be of no value at all. there were real fear is that terrorists cutting their teeth in syria could spread across the e.u. europeans make up a big chunk of that seventeen thousand for in your heart 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 syria right now belgium and the you care also in the top three they will raise what happens when they return home. caught up with one british citizen who lost his brother to a wall thousands of miles from harm. young british traveling to

10:20 am
security and richmond the move comes as part of a landmark deal between the country and six world powers and let's now take a closer look at all iran is gaining here they total it can only really for the country over the next six months is seven billion dollars most of that money four point two billion dollars will be acceptable three arena funds overseas which will be unblocked the rest is coming from an easing of restrictions on export of petrochemical goods precious metals and financial transactions however the move is just the beginning as for the next hoffer year iran and six world powers have to reach a final compromise but as all see is policy here of course the path to the 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
10:21 am
terms of the agreement they will no longer be restrictions on the rainy and exports of petrochemicals 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 this 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 have new is congressmen and women who are calling for fresh sanctions but on the other hand you have iran which essentially the american prison barack obama is urging to come to the party and he himself needs to
10:22 am
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. allow for one as are all lying officials in two u.s. states consider bring the death penalty but i should say. the shorter final of the lethal drugs is forcing local law makers to resurrect a message that has disappeared and much of the world all the details are at r.t. dot com. and also setting up a fake social media account might cost you a pretty penny in russia as one lawmaker prop. poses a bill which fines mounting to thousands of dollars. an international organization that inspects violations of media freedom across the

world is on its first ever mission to the u.k. there are growing concerns about a government pressure being put on the press in britain allowing the authorities response to the guardian newspaper printing leaks from n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden and some suggest three hundred years of press freedom is under threat laura smith investigates. the world association of newspapers and news publishes isn't an organization everyone's 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 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
10:24 am
says to sit out on the threat of legal action we've always as an organization taking care of patients all over the world always concerned about the situation especially in the major democracy like u.k. 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 but it is since generally speaking. tends to believe. they could bypass the future of professional journalism it's a big concern to. the general region of africa actually be that's. the rights of citizens. and admits the u.k. visit is unprecedented but his organization is worried that any violation of the freedom of the press here will give others carte blanche to oppress their own media
10:25 am
and throwing away three hundred years of press freedom inside a single year is not something to be ignored. so while the global headlines here right now iraq's capital by the time has been shaken by a series of explosions including compounds coming over twenty people and injuring scores more. most of the blast happened in share neighborhoods with the deadliest attack targeting a crowded market meanwhile the iraqi army is engaged in fierce fighting with al qaeda linked militants in the city of ramadi this is the large part of it in december. even foreign ministers have approved a different development be the deployment of several hundred troops to the central asian republics he reinforce peacekeepers from france and the african union meanwhile the transitional parliament in the african country has elected a new interim need to meet ongoing clashes between rival christian and muslim militias latest reports say at least fifty people have been killed in the country

10:27 am
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 plots for a new world 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 merely willing blew the whistle on the fact that the. 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 these students were allowed into the university based on the screening process done by the university implying that the use 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
