5:02 am
a quarter it was done pretty much on violent day there were no scuffles they were just pushing the protesters off the first thing they did they destroyed the catapult and medieval weapon which the protesters had early a built to hurl cocktails and rocks at the police lines they destroyed it's got to put a matter of seconds basically after that some reinforcement of the protesters came from the independence square and charged at the police so the police actually took a few steps back and right now only a few dozen metres separates the police and they protest as we can see a water cannon standing right in the middle of the police lines there was information coming from a local media that the police actually warned that they may use weapons against protesters if they continue their violent behavior indeed we have seen anything at all the time that loads of cocktails are being thrown at the police the fire crackers the smoke bombs are being exploded from time to time it is still
5:03 am
definitely a hotbed of tension also there are numerous reports that identified men in sports costumes are organizing scuffles all across the korean capital. police are refraining from stepping in decisively. as we have the right to use force according to the rule of law about one hundred policemen were wounded in the clashes sixty one have been hospitalized some with grave injuries among them are two who were captured by the rioters one was taken to the house of trade unions beaten and tortured the same was done to the other in independence square both have since been freed hospitalized and are in deep shock we do know that the president of coverage has been calling for a negotiation with the opposition. some thought has already been held though we understand it was all denied closed doors and no information has come out but definitely out of this moment with no political solution to this crisis as we can
5:04 am
see. the most violent infighting in unfolded on sunday nights leaving about a hundred police wanted most had head injuries from the rioters clubs all symptoms of poisoning by an unknown guys still the u.s. and e.u. was quick to turn on ukraine's government saying it brought this upon itself by cracking down on demonstrators said historian and ukraine affairs analyst the voice of knowledge says the western bias against president called it is so great there's nothing the leader can do at this point is to shift it. ask yourself would do any western government confronted with the exact same problem or even something a lot milder how would they respond would there be automated weapons deployed actual bullets as opposed to rubber ones i think the default response from the west is that the ukrainian government can do no right to whatever they do they're going to be condemned for it so they may as well i figure and i'm guessing that from
5:05 am
their behavior they're figuring it as well they may as well do everything they can in their power to secure the rule of law to suppress the violent protesters and to make sure that this does not boiling over into civil war i think a modicum of force is appropriate when you're facing violent protesters you have to send a message that this will not be tolerated you have to send a message that you stand for them and that lawbreakers will not be allowed to run rampant and i think from what i've seen they've acted with you are able restraint especially again compared to what western law enforcement would routinely do in such circumstances. and my colleague bill don't discuss the situation in ukraine with and the check and citric coverage on international affairs that this innit. the changes that happen on the seventeenth of january in a very this is not in europe but in you know in accordance with europe and europe and guidelines what is needed is dialogue the dialogue is needed of course in their home not in the parliament and especially is needed between the government and the
5:06 am
opposition the representatives of the opposition present in the parliament and through the dialogue everything has to be discussed not so dividing lines but we condemn the violence not only my political group it was meeting of foreign affairs ministers and we don't stop or dividing lines what we are dealing with is a clear attempt to undermine the constitutional order of a major european state and it is truly shocking for european parliamentarians to say that they are still supportive of the process that obviously wants to use street thuggery and mob rule as a means of regime change regime change a change of government that's exactly what the e.u. wants no no no no nono no no no we had we had president elections in ukraine four years ago we had the elections elections were recognized freeze and fair if there
5:07 am
has to be a change of government it has to be done through the elections that the principle of the european union the protest is waiting for that democratic process as an election do spring twenty fifth exactly our economy is going to be president of all former german foreign minister thus the best available at the barricades and victoria nuland from the state department passing quickies around can you imagine russian foreign minister a lot of going to barcelona to support catalan separatists and when it comes to ukraine what we have witnessed is excessive patience by the government at the street thuggery and the rule of mob this would not have been ill. in washington d.c. would not have been allowed in london and certainly not in brussels what was the reason for the demonstrations the reason was that president no coverage the ukrainian oratory to use refuse at the last moment under the pressure of moscow under the pressure of russia refused to sign the association. this is simply
5:08 am
factually wrong we are looking at a clear cut situation where young the coverage was perfectly within his rights to say no to a horrible deal which had it gone ahead would have cost ukraine tens of billions of euros which it cannot afford when russia came in with fifteen billion rescue package and it's simply that europe wanted to have free access to do your cranium market for nothing and it was geo political all along as the political crisis in ukraine escalates we're keeping you up to date with what's happening in kiev twenty four seventh's stay with us. was just a day to go till the long awaited geneva two peace talks on syria we continue to

provide our overview of the rounds around the meeting. commenting on the diplomatic tongo a wednesday is peace talks russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said revoking iran's invitation was an obvious mistake the un retracted it following an all summation from the opposition syrian national coalition meanwhile its main bloc has quit the coalition impressionist at the umbrella organizations plans to attend the talks and. the full story. at invitation a was a withdrawal by the united nations amid intense pressure from the united states and other allies of the u.s. although the much anticipated syria peace conference is still expected to take place that has been overshadowed by those ago rather bizarre diplomatic ping pong that's essentially unfolded since that invitation was issues now how did all of this play out on sunday by the u.n. secretary general basically announced that he is inviting iran to participate in
5:10 am
the new twenty second conference scheduled to take place in switzerland to come to a diplomatic solution over the syrian crisis he said that the iran needs to be a part of the solution it's a key regional player its interests are also involved in what's going on there and that is why bunty moon wanted to bring iran to the table now that decision sparked a confrontation with the united states the united kingdom and france it also angered the syrian opposition and saudi arabia which has been largely seen as a backer of the syrian insurgency they've threatened to boycott of their protests the patient in the talks effectively undermining the whole deal there was the threat of that to be a serious if the geneva two conference could collapse as a result of this and what we basically saw afterwards was the syrian national coalition hours after bonking wins announcement issued an ultimatum saying don't invite iran or have iran stick to certain agreements and today we saw. reversing course essentially now the russian foreign minister said that behavior by the
5:11 am
syrian opposition group here raises questions about the group's willingness to really stick to commit to a peaceful solution take a listen. revoking the invitation is a mistake of course but not a disaster we believe that all sides that have influence on the conflict should be present the syrian national coalition is trying to impose its own interpretation of the existing geneva communiqué that's where the ultimatum is rooted this is a situation. the united nations and several other countries including russia for instance have long argued that iran is a critical player in the syrian conflict and that any serious attempt to really genuinely end the war has to bring all sides to the table and that includes tehran . the plague of terror is sweeping the nation especially fighting al qaeda should become the main focus of the conference according to the russian foreign minister sunday hottest minutes and groups are refusing to play by anyone's rules adopting

the every month for himself toxics. reports now from damascus. despite the international community separate now for its efforts to bring peace to syria and its people the brutal conflict now has a new face radical militants have long used children in their fight against a mask but now more and more women in both local and from the west have been dragged into jihad some apparently make the journey to marry fall into is who they appear ready to support no matter walks in the u.k. a blog even helps those who want to marry militant travel to the country here in syria training camps have been set up by areas held by and to government forces or aspiring female extremists is the mist of fear going to see women join them and encourage some to swap a traditional way of life for weapons and suicide belts traction it's clear women draw less attention from the police and security forces question officials are

concerned about the rising number of their nationals looking to syria to take part in the war they afraid that after being trained to kill these men and women will return to their home towns. by one level defector who is sad that is that is precisely what militant groups are hoping to achieve because in two different sources there are up to two thousand european fighters here in syria who joined rebels groups many of which have ties to al qaida for the time being they remain here in syria learning how to make and determine a golems or how to use a kalashnikov all the time waiting for the moment when their threats will know which could be put into action with the geneva two talks set to kick off on wednesday there remain those who wants no part in a political solution and are resolved to stay away from the negotiations and they how to expand the. original should not see from damascus syria.
5:14 am
the u.s. has repeatedly come under fierce criticism for the funks the aid washington and its allies send to the rebels sometimes ends up in the wrong hands she's going to work nine explains now how the west could be helping terrorists to fester. when the enemy of your enemy is your enemy things can get complicated it's a conundrum the us faces in syria where political financial and military support to the rebels has subsequently served to create a new hotbed for al-qaeda if bush are us did not. stay in power or if he's weakened then syria could become that base another base like pakistan and afghanistan before it to be used as a springboard to go into these other countries oh experts say an influx of extremist groups has turned the war torn country into
5:15 am
a terrorist training center posing a greater threat to american interests than the leader washington wants removed these groups are much more dangerous and we have hands of thousands of international fighters coming in in a very fundamentalist capacity we've almost come full circle after afghanistan where nine eleven were where we are seeing these groups still fighting for fundamentalists. principles what began as an anti-government uprising three years ago has turned into an internal fight between opposition blocs the free syrian army set up to battle assad has more and more found that its hands are full just defending themselves against jihadists who are seeking a foothold in the country this leaving u.s. officials acknowledging a loss of control over the war it initially supported we too are deeply concerned about the rise of extremism. the world needs no reminder that syria has
5:16 am
become the magnet for jihadists and extremists it is the strongest magnet for terror of anyplace today and as world powers star gathering in geneva to map out a peace plan for syria they are being asked to pull the plug on terrorism. which of evil confrontation which is clear results with regard to the fight against terrorism in syria particularly it needs to put pressure on countries that are exporting terrorism by sending terrorists money and weapons to terrorist organizations good especially saudi arabia and turkey and of course the western countries that provide political compass for these terrorist organizations. organizations no one ever imagined america would in any way support merino port r.t. new york and behind me you can see the territory under control of the islamic state of iraq and levant or i as on it as that said marcus in block so it's
