this is little ridge that owns revolutionary congress call some to tonight so violent projects leave the center of ukraine's capital devastated and many of those guarding it and hospital. opposition decides it will attend peace talks are the one that we trunk's an invitation to iran just a day before the geneva summit starts a move has called a mistake. on russian diplomats urged those attending the peace talks to focus on the terrorism plague in syria i mean reports of al qaeda training camps across the country.

live from moscow this is our scene to national with me. and everyone welcome to the program radical opposition supporters in the ukrainian capital continued assault on police barricades for a second night of anti-government protests they want to force country's entire leadership out the rioters say they're not leaving and warned that recently published new laws aimed at preventing them from holding rallies will only boost the violence to education was announced last week and quickly passed as the crisis escalated and. isn't here for us right now alex a nice to see you so is there any room for compromise. well it doesn't seem this way the tension is very far from settling down at this moment the barricade and the standoff at the school street at the governmental quarters still continuing with the with the rioters and the police exchanging flash bangs and mold of cocktails at each other more than

a hundred more than several hundred people are now in hospitals including more than one hundred policemen which is something unprecedented not only for ukraine but for many countries in the world when such a number of policemen has been injured in the protests also the word on the ground is that on thursday the authorities may consider implementing an emergency situation in the country if things continue the same way as they do during the night apart from an attempted assault by the police on the on the rioters and tried to push them off the square we also saw something new a very peculiar scene when the protesters found several groups of what they described as pro-government broke provocateurs in the city they were they were thinking that those provocative would be inciting riots inside the city and they actually took some of them hostage brought them to the building over there this is the the headquarters of the revolution as they call it organize something over interrogation something of a vigilante

a trial and then took them out into the square over here the heart of the protest and urged them to apologize for supporting the government for doing the things they did walking basically what they did was walking in groups along the ukrainian capital in the night as i've said there was an attempted assault by the police i went to the place to the riot scene at the governmental courts and here is my report. the situation in kiev has been very tense all throughout the night there was an attempt by the police to push to protest off the bigger steps because street the governmental quarter it was done pretty much on violence the there were no stop and 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 just got to put a matter of seconds basically after that some reinforcements 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 meters separates the police and the protest as we can see a watertown and 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 and we see that all the time that loads of cocktails are being thrown at the police the fire crackers smoke bombs are being exploded from time to time it is still definitely a hotbed of tension also there are numerous reports that identified men in sports costumes are organizing scuffles all across the iranian capital still unclear what the purpose of that is but it certainly creates a very worrying feeling here so the situation is still very tense and it's really

unclear where it's going to go we do know that the president got a call which as been calling for. a negotiation with the opposition leaders some talk has already been held though we understand it was held behind closed doors and no information has come out but definitely as to this moment has been no political solution to this crisis as we can see. the crowd has first spiral down of control over the weekend most of those injured war policeman diagnosed with head injuries a stab wounds on poisoning but the u.s. and the e.u. justify ban rest by saying it was provoked by the ukrainian authorities so historian and ukraine affairs analyst and the boys from knowledge says at this point there's nothing the government could do to as to satisfy the west ask yourself would do any western government confronted with the exact same problem or even something a lot milder how would they respond 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 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 if you stand firm in the law breakers 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 mirai it's unclear how highlighted a rise in nationalist movements on extremism and voice of russia's political analyst and maître babbage believes opposition leaders are trying to cover up their radical side. when you reach war and other so-called moderate nationalists leaders

although they're not moderate by group instruments first they fail to sort of condemn these actions of no not just be fair to separate themselves from the neo nazis. at some time but i think you will deny that you know marxist working for peace or the world for the pure form going forward you know which was a voice of the light which you know that this is you can you can give a full rich boon to people and process and for all we know the whole feels like it's going to be so these people were rescued from the very beginning to be fishing for the working rest north and all just don't know have noticed them think twelve and forty five and too few for everything like the western public apology which the side and the bulk of my ukrainian people there or you know would be the most evil you know. i mean the tension in the ukrainian capital aussie international will keep you up to date with events around the day and also local to call for the live

updates from kiev. less than twenty four hours before the peace talks on syria begin in switzerland he continues to look at the challenges ahead. russia is concerned that international efforts to find a solution to the syrian crisis could be undermined by the absence of iran one of the region's key player is moscow's foreign minister said revoking iran's invitation to the talks is a mistake the u.n. made the decision following an ultimatum from syria's main western banks opposition group. now reports. 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 there's no 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 a conference scheduled to take place in switzerland to come to a diplomatic solution over the syrian crisis he said that iran needs to be a part of the solution it's a key regional player now that decision sparked a confrontation with the united states the united kingdom and france but 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 their protests the patient in the talks effectively undermining the whole deal the syrian national coalition hours after bonking was announcement issued an ultimatum saying we don't invite iran or have iran stick to certain agreements and we saw the 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 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 that ultimatum is rooted. is in a situation. the united nations and several other countries including russia for instance have long argued that iran is a critical flayer in the syrian conflict and that any serious attempt to really genuinely end the war has to bring all sides of the table and that includes tehran . and let's not discuss how these diplomatic games might affect the upcoming peace talks in geneva with jonathan steele who's a columnist on international affairs for britain's guardian newspaper he joins us

now live from london jonathan steele welcome to see how do you are says the yuan decision to withdraw its invitation to iran do agree it was necessary to guarantee the preservation of the syrian opposition in the talks. here so i think it was a very good move for a bank community to do to invite iran to take part because all the countries that are involved closely in the syrian situation. are providing arms or giving support to one of the political sides need to be there if there's going to be a gradual demilitarization you position of local ceasefires from some genuine political compromise all the surrounding countries need to be very and it's absurd to cut one of them. but to what extent is iran's exclusion like its own demise in the talks. well the talks will now go ahead but unlikely to achieve anything very much without iran being there but everybody is saying that

this should be a process. if these talks just ended after twenty four hours or forty eight hours and that was the end then it would be a disaster this is just the first step in a person so one hopes that they will agree to meet again and such a date fairly soon and that in the meantime iran will be brought back into the discussion because you know if you're trying to deal with a war and obviously people are very ferociously opposed to each other but you've got to get them talking and just to say well somebody is on one side and therefore it makes no sense a tool in terms of international diplomacy and peacekeeping meanwhile a body that's often described as main internal opposition a group has one chance said. the chance to join the sea where national coalitions delegation do believe the representation of the opposition or its part if you will will be taken seriously. well the internal opposition the national

coordination body for the democratic change has now decided not to take part. actually rather disappointed with russia because three thought that russia was going to push for a tripartite delegation of opposition people that geneva it would include the syrian national coalition the western backed group it would include kurds as a separate delegation and it would include the national democratic coordination committee for democratic change. there are very disappointed the russia has decided to as it were allowed the americans to control who comes from the opposition side while russia is job is confined to making sure that the syrian government turns and they feel cheated and pointed with russia and that's why they called up because they say you cannot have only the taking part must have the peaceful democratic groups as well but do you believe. these moves by by b.

through an opposition and its parts can actually show that they are willing to find a peaceful solution to the to the crisis in syria. well the syrian national coalition has been put under massive american pressure to turn up including the threat to the u.s. would cut back on support for it with military support for it and would put pressure on other countries to simply stop supplying arms sort of for this massive pressure but the thing is that even with this the hoff of the members of the syrian national coalition agreed to go to geneva so the totally split and then of course there are the jihadi fundamentalist groups the al kargil which were never invited and obviously be attending. the rebel side. is completely split and it's hard to see how they could really make a serious contribution. jonathan steele

a columnist on international affairs for the guardian live from london mr steele thank you very much indeed for sharing your perspective with us we appreciate it. also threat of terrorism in syria especially those posed by al qaida to be the main focus of talks in geneva jihadist groups operating in the country are targeting the government and their fellow rebels fierce clashes have left more than a thousand opposition fighters dead since the start of the again he's a marine up north i now reports somebody washington's previous indiscriminate support for the rebels is partly responsible here. 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 as did not.

stay in power or if he's weakened then syria could become that base another base like pakistan and afghanistan before it. uses a springboard to go into these other places oh experts say and influx of extremist groups has turned the war torn country into a terrorist training center posing a greater threat to american interests than 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 blocks 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 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 should produce clear results with regard to the fart's 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 especially saudi arabia 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 the latest demonstration of the threat of terrorism poses in syria there are reports that al qaida is training european jihad as syria specifically to set up terror cells back home. reports now from damascus despite the international community suffering operates 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 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 what's in the u.k. a blog even helps those who want to marry militants to travel to the country. in

camps have been set up by al qaida in areas held by and to government forces or aspiring female extremists is the midst of piercing to see women join them and then encourage some to swap the traditional way of life for weapons and suicide belts traction is clear women draw less attention from the police and security forces western officials are 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 vans and women will return to their home towns. by one level defector we 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-qaeda 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 fatso norwich 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 side they how to expand the. rich notion r.t. from damascus syria. as the world's top diplomat has had to switzerland it will keep you updated on the diplomatic buildup to wednesday's sea with peace conference . after three years of. the death toll of over one hundred thousand. homeless a and common sense come together with one mention. war is not the answer. does peace have a chance. and coming up later in the ninety years

five million unemployed europeans people are looking for alternatives as i search and even though the world is different than it was at the time of lenin it's not fundamentally changed so i think his ideas are still relevant and appealing to a lot of people to do think when you look at the world today it definitely shows that the capitalism doesn't work to solve the basic problems of the world. online sweet dreams are not made these on archie to hold one of the most popular prescription drugs in the u. was is reportedly turning people into killers instead of sending them to sleep for a blissful night's rest. and an unorthodox to enjoy it to the pope as if for vatican god claims there is an underground network of promus sectionals plotting against him. british government workers are being rewarded for saying no in exchange for rejecting asylum applications home office staff receive gift vouchers and even extra holiday. failed
