6:02 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 protests this came from the independence square and charged at the police so the police actually took a few steps back and right now i'll need a few dozen metres separate from the police and the 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 bullets of cocktails are being thrown at the police the fire crackers smoke bombs are being exploded from time to time it is still definitely
6:03 am
a hotbed of tension also there are numerous reports that identified men in sports costs to start organizing scuffles all across the caribbean 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 out of coverage has been calling for a negotiation with the opposition. some talk has already been held though we understand it was held behind closed doors and no information has come out but definitely at this moment that no political solution to this crisis as we can see.
6:04 am
the most violent fighting in kiev unfolded on sunday night leaving about one hundred police wounded most had head injuries from the riots clubs or symptoms of poisoning by an unknown gas still the glass in the you were quick to turn on ukraine's government say they supply itself by cracking down and demonstrate is said historian and crane affairs analyst in a voice a monitor says the western bias against president again a call that is so great there's nothing the media can do at this point 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 so whatever they do they're going to be condemned for it so they may as well i figure and i'm guessing that from their behavior they're figuring it as well they may as well do everything they can
6:05 am
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 would you are able restraint especially again compared to what western law enforcement would routinely do in such circumstances. under the riots in clear of rage john there's been a rise in nationalist tendencies after turner tonks thomas in choosing care within a week the european jewish congress has now asked the authorities to provide safety for the local hebrew community let's discuss the situation with the voice of russian political analyst dmitri babich he's here in the studio with us on r.c. dmitri very nice to talk here in ca again as always so we've seen ukrainian nationalists on the front lines of the riots in kiev do you think this is the
6:06 am
coincidence that these attacks are happening now and we think are the extremists nationalism is very typical for a war of people in the ukraine in a position and with these people i would not use the word nationalist you know and the yards and you can nationalists the people who are burning the bosphorus right now there are known artists and you know i have before me here probably of the cameras who show with this is just a book you know a small brochure published by the ukrainian. called ukrainian. insurgent army you know the ukrainian nationalist or you know not so group that four during the second world war and you can see here ward off basically nazi symbols and the style was very nazi so we should not forget there during the war considerable part of western ukraine in population supported hitler right after the
6:07 am
german troops moved in there were several groups you know of ukrainian nationalists which helped them and now we see these symbols you know or the symbols behind you all you you know organization of ukrainian nationalists this was one of the most cruel groups during the second world war the one they destroyed a lot of russians a lot of jewels they were horrid and i said why it's the willingly for field the order of the german nazis so i would not want to. all these people nationals there are no nazis ok but talking about present time so far the radical tendencies within the ukraine opposition have been launched ignored by their western so what about now are these the times going to bring the whole situation in the spotlight now well. since the early ninety's the western press has been duped depicting eastern ukraine. pro russian and western ukraine.
6:08 am
well they forget that western ukrainians participated in the war on the side of it was germany and if this is the europe. you know is offered to ukraine then i think the majority of ukrainians would not want to go to this kind of europe they remember it by the times of the second world war and they remember the by extremist ukrainian nationalism which was very widespread in the post-war years and even recently you know during these twenty years or ukrainian independence so the shame is first that the odds when you reach war and other so-called moderate nationalists leaders although they're not moderate by european standards first they fail to sort of condemn these actions of no not as they failed to separate themselves from the known artists. sometimes even denied that no one answers were involved they said these were all provocateurs from newport beach you know which was
6:09 am
a boy into life we see now that this is serious i mean how can you recall which burn his own boss and throw out of cocktails at his own police so these people were active from the very beginning and it's a shame for the western press not to notice them now not to have noticed them in two thousand and four and five and to feed all of these lies to the western public about civil society and the nice ukrainian bieber ups there are you know these are not liberals these are known artists thank you very much. political analyst at the voice of russia radio dimitris thank you very much indeed for sharing your views with us. as the political crisis in ukraine as collates we are keeping you up to date with what's happening in care twenty four seven. it was just a day to go till the long awaited geneva two peace talks on syria would continue to

provide hour of yield leave dance around the meeting. commenting on the diplomatic toggle a wednesday's peace talks russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said revoking iran's invitation was an obvious mistake the un retracted it following an ultimatum from the opposition syrian national coalition aussie's this account from of the full story. that 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 the 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 any twenty second conference scheduled to take place in switzerland to come to
6:11 am
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 and their protests the patient in the talks effectively undermining the whole deal there was the threat of that to be a serious of the geneva two conference could collapse as a result of this 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 bond reversing course essentially now the russian foreign minister said that the behavior by the syrian opposition group here raises questions about the group's willingness to really
6:12 am
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 some good honest militant groups are refusing to play by anyone's rules adopting the every man for himself tactics. notional reports now from damascus.
6:13 am
despite the international community separate now for its efforts to bring peace to syria and its people the brutal conflict now has a new phrase radical militants have long used children in their fight against a masochist but now more and more women both local and from the west are being dragged into jihad some apparently make the journey to marry fall into is who they appear ready to support no matter who 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 most severe thing to see women join them and then 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 russian officials are
6:14 am
concerned about the rising number of their nationals looking to syria to take part in the war they're afraid that after being trained to kill these men and women will return to their home towns. by one level defect it 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 defend a golems or how to use a kalashnikov all the time waiting for the moment when their threats all knowledge 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 sides they how to expand their. original not see from damascus

syria. the u.s. has repeatedly come into fierce criticism for the fox the aid washington and its allies sent to the rebels sometimes ends up in the wrong hands. explains now how the west could be helping terror 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 then in 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 a terrorist training center posing a greater threat to american interests than
6:16 am
a 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 become the magnet for jihadists and extremists it is the strongest magnet for
6:17 am
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 fights against terrorism in syria in particular it needs to put pressure on countries that are exporting terrorism by sending terrorists money and weapons to terrorist organizations that do and especially saudi arabia and turkey and of course the western countries that provide political conflict with 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 say the territory under control of the islamic state of iraq and move on to last that small block and it's a blog last some of the jihad his group denounced even by al qaeda were simply the

a new trend of socialist ideas which are coming into fashion while the globe he looks at the stage as the leading step in and it's a life that's coming up after the break. the united states is a very good example here because in the early years they they had a pretty strong genuine democracy that by now i would argue has degenerated into a system where money and power mattered much more than bit and then the deputy of the majority of the founding fathers of the united states would constantly say that they were not trying to instill democracy that thought democracy was horrible they wanted topps we institute a republic and they purposely designed the institutions to as they put it exclude the majority of from participation.
