1:03 pm
ten pm this is r.t. international. these are not images from a disaster zone these are actual scenes from the ukrainian capital the pictures show protesters running amok angry over plans for laws they say are aimed at punishing them for holding rallies now the response has been fierce a mix of molotov cocktails clubs and bombs and now reports of pepper spray all thrown at the police trying to stave off a revolution. for our international. it's morning now in here but the chance at 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 predicting 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
1:04 pm
trying to secure the governments of water yesterday on sunday the protesters gathered for a typical rally after that they decided to storm the government before 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 remain pretty much although 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 crowds we can see from time to time loads of cocktails ropes and flash bangs are being thrown from both sides dodes each other over the night the protesters have managed to dismantle some of the pavement here and they're using these rocks to throw them at the police they're also using most of cocktails and different flash bangs so it's pretty loud here this is the live barricade where 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
1:05 pm
really unclear where this all 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 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 just to give you the idea of how serious this whole thing is here the protesters are installing. the medieval weapons to make sure their project tiles molotov cocktails are off actually be able to reach the police lines with the seventeen. away from well you know the president not the city's ready to go to the opposition but this is not the talk of the town right here people are still very much determine the government to resign for the president to step down this is their goal this is a no longer broke which it was at the beginning. of this is a purely governmental. developments of what's happening in the capital here.
1:06 pm
well dozens of policemen remain hospitalized with head injuries fractures and. substances the president is now in talks with the opposition to prevent further violence but despite this the e.u. is sticking to its position of blaming the local authorities and as an english to 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 very quickly found the men responsible for the mayhem ukraine's president if they can afford it 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 parliamentary and presidential elections are going to 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 independence square seems
1:07 pm
to have been split into the parties 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 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 protest leaders and members chanted revolution in much of the night the west seemed indifferent for the open calls for more a scout 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 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
1:08 pm
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 ride 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 you. you know position 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 goes r.t. . well the us secretary of state was also highly critical of the ukrainian leadership saying the new anti protester laws would deprive the nation of its future but the editor and publisher of business new europe has told us that he believes by speaking out the west is only denying its own democratic values
1:09 pm
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 of just over forty were against him seventy seven decided which means that the opposition doesn't have a moral authority a mandate from the people in order to change the government you have to remember 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 they need to respect democracy however here we are in a situation where you know that the e.u. and 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. well as the political crisis in ukraine escalates
1:10 pm
we keep you up to date with what's happening in kiev twenty four seven here not international. with the long awaited geneva two peace talks on syria just a few days away altie is beginning its special coverage of the diplomatic buildup to a meeting which aims to find a way to end the bloody conflict. the presence of syria's main opposition group in geneva is in question again the western backed body issued an ultimatum threatening not to show up after the u.n. invited iran the syrian national council is demanding that either iran proves its commitment to setting up an interim government in syria or the un withdraw its invitation russia's foreign minister said this cast doubts over the opposition's willingness to find a solution. for that of 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
1:11 pm
and is even willing to sit with countries directly arm the rebels and 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. believed if the syrian national coalition does attend the peace talks its priorities are likely to be very different from its opponents its leader earlier said forming an interim government without bashar assad must be a main aim at the conference now the syrian leader himself has 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 are real fears that terrorists cutting their teeth in syria could spread across the e.u.

europeans make up a major part of the seventeen thousand foreign jihadists thought to be in the water and country the biggest european contributor is france as many as seven hundred of its nationals could be in syria right now and belgium and the u.k. are also in the top three while the worry is what happens when they return home of the sarah first caught up with one british citizen who lost his brother to a war thousands of miles from home. young british traveling to syria hundred people. and according to one experts the now part of the largest european islamist foreign fighting contingent in recent times two 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

1:14 pm
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'd gone to fight jihad or holy war do you think the young men. she was. completely misinterpreting the weather. and especially in the city a case interests in this completely wrong concept and wrong wrong idea the other members of the religious community we met in portsmouth agree and their own d.n.a. down says to one of the major challenges in tackling you think ajman 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 in
1:15 pm
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 because the country and europe white and the syrian conflict i think gauging the young generation like never before two years ago a member of my friends we were just ordinary boys you know just never thought about this stuff in a spoke about you know we're still you know they were aware of us 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 a battle for it's 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 sunken so before full full force as an. art reporting from portsmouth in the south

south to three hundred years of press freedom an international mission goes to london to investigate whether the government is trying to control the media in the wake of edward snowden's leaks. what the american public hasn't really understood is that this is not a normal banking scandal and that these banks like h.s.b.c. have the blood of american soldiers on their hands that i.e.d. going off in afghanistan killing and killing an american or you know allied soldier that is being financed through our banks that's a problem. dramas
1:18 pm
that can't be ignored. stories others refuse to know. this is changing the world right now. full picture. from around the. globe. to me. washington and the e.u. have removed a number of sanctions they had imposed on iran after it halted part of its uranium enrichment program the move comes as part of a landmark deal between the country and six world powers now let's take a closer look at what iran is gaining from all of this will lead to total economic relief for the country over the next six months is seven billion dollars and most
1:19 pm
of that money four point two billion dollars will be accessible through iranian funds overseas which will be unblocked now the rest is coming from an easing of restrictions on the export of petro chemical goods precious metals and financial transactions however the move is just the beginning as over the next few months iran and the six world powers have to reach a final compromise because artie's paullus live reports the path to the green 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 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
1:20 pm
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 a 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 that 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 president 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. r.t.

1:22 pm
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 the documents now they've sent out another delegation but not to a war torn failed states 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 it's face to sit and 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. 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 if you since
