across the country. this is our seeing to national coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the brawl graham radical opposition supporters in the ukrainian capital continued their assault on police barricades for a second antigovernment 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 bruise the violence there the legislation was announced last week and quickly passed as the crisis escalated . isn't here for us. tension may have come down in terms of the noise at the governmental court in kiev
10:02 am
but it's still far from settled only a few meters are separating the police lines and the line of the protesters or the rioters and still sometimes exchanging project arrows at each other over the night we saw an attempt by the police to push the protesters off this particular place here the failed attempt when the protesters started charging with a writer started charging at the police the police had to withdraw and ever since then it's been like that the standoff continues over here it looks like yet another barricade with what remains of the police cars which were burned here on sunday night basically separating the line of the rioters and the police from time to time the protesters and the police are exchanging projectiles these rocks over here are still being used to be thrown at the police during the night we also saw something very completely peculiar for ukraine a cases of vigilantism when the protesters organized something of a safari hunt on what they describe as pro-government provocateurs the court
10:03 am
several of them took them to the revolutionary headquarters organized the civic trial that took them out into the independence square and urged them to apologize for their actions more than several hundred people are still injured in hospitals including more than one hundred policemen which is something unprecedented not only for ukraine but for many other countries in the world and the word on the street here is that the authorities may actually consider implementing an emergency state in the country on thursday if things continue the way they do it or certainly following all the developments in kiev will bring you the latest updates as we get them they probably just fast spiraled out of control of what they we can and most of those injured what policeman diagnosed with head injuries stab wounds and poisoning of the glass and a good chance to find the rest by saying it was provided by the ukrainian authorities and for a moment i joined the line by john local and also on international affairs as mr lupton welcome to all see so far rights activists are becoming more and more vocal
10:04 am
in ukraine and dos santos it to the violence where witnessing in kiev nowadays why do you think that is. well in a sense i think that the opposition in kiev the propers the so-called pro european opposition has violence in its d.n.a. what i mean by that is that as we know the pro european demonstrations are being led by two political parties by and by vitali klitschko as party. of course means it and teach co is primarily known as a boxer in other words the very name of his party in caps relates in expresses the notion of violence or the notion of aggressive violence as for. as i'm sure your viewers know is that the european level affiliated with various extreme right to near fascist political parties like your break in hungary the family call all day
10:05 am
in italy and the phone i saw in france these parties are always attacked by the european elites as being anti democratic anti europe here parties who should whose role should be reduced to the minimum and it's an indication of the incredible hypocrisy of western elites that one of their members these four but the party should instead now be being regarded as a pro western and pro-democratic force that washington and brussels blame the cradle so our cities for the clashes and the rest how reasonable is that. it's totally unreasonable no state in the world no self respecting state in the world would allow people to set up permanent barricades in the central square of the capital city there are many examples of democratic states dismantling such barricades in paris in two thousand and thirteen when some people who were opposed
10:06 am
to gay marriage set up tents not even barricades just tents near the french national assembly those tents were immediately taken away by the police there was a famous case in london of an antiwar protester who after a long time was also removed from parliament square the barricades in clear far far bigger than anything that was ever put up in london or paris and as your reporter has just said and i thought i was a very interesting point he made about as it were revolutionary trials being conducted in the side the barricades the demonstrators have taken the law into their own hands and no state in the world would allow that and therefore it's entirely reasonable for the ukrainian authorities to say that these barricades must be dismantled of course people have the right to demonstrate but they don't have the right to set up camp in the middle of the capital city and still less to take them over to the. right but the protests we're seeing now originated when
10:07 am
parliament passed anti rallying they wouldn't allow mosques or weapons during the protests and that similar laws in the e.u. . of course there are in france it is forbidden to cover your face you're not allowed to cover your face under any circumstances not just during a demonstration. there's the famous floor against the burka but that is. that is in fact in a sense of superfluous will because you're not allowed to go about the street with your face covered it's obvious that if anyone is wearing a mask a particular gas mask they are as it were preparing for violent combat with police and we've seen in these latest clashes as we saw in december when the whole issue first erupted how the demonstrators have initiated violence against the police and how the police in ukraine have seemed to be almost powerless to resist them i remember seeing a video from back in december which i expect you showed as well showing the police without even shields so we can see that the violence has been initiated.
10:08 am
yes karan please. we can see that the violence has been initiated in large measure by the demonstrators themselves and once again the new self respecting state no state whose duty it is to uphold law and order can allow such things to continue to clean up in this company city and that once again how do you think authorities would act in any major european capital should riots start and protesters start calling for revolution there. well as i've said they would do exactly what the ukrainian authorities have done either they would have powers already at their disposal to dismantle these barricades as they have in france or if they didn't have them as happened in britain they would vote special powers or particular powers or change the law in
10:09 am
order to enable them to do so of course the right to demonstrate and protest peacefully is protected. it should be protected everywhere but we're talking about something totally different here we're talking about permanent barricades being set up by people we're talking about people who are taking the law into their own hands as your reporter has said preventing people from walking along the street and going about their ordinary business and above all we're talking about demonstrators who have time and again showed their propensity to violence following as i say the lead of their political parties who themselves either directly or indicate to interrupt me to advocate it none of these things would be permitted or are permitted in any democratic european state. control lock and also in international affairs thank you very much indeed for your time. the riots in here have highlighted a rise in nationalist movements and extremism and also russia's political analyst
10:10 am
at maytree babbage believes opposition leaders are trying to cover up their radical sides their. when you reach war and other so-called moderate nationalists leaders although they're not moderate by group that's trying to force the field to sort of condemn it these actions of no not just be fair to separate themselves from the neo nazis. that sometimes they even deny that you know we are just waiting for the serbs the world for the courage for them of course you know which was a point of light which you know that this is serious i mean how can you afford to burn people in office and for all the mold of coffee if it was going to lead to these people were rescued from the very beginning and it's a shame for the western press more to not use them now or not to have noticed them in two thousand and four and five and to feed all these lights to the western public of all to see what the side in the box nice ukrainian people there are you

10:12 am
conference on syria taking place here in this small swiss town of montreal on the shores of lake geneva is truly an international achievement it took so much time and so much effort but it's finally going to happen the syrian authorities and the rebels after years of fighting and unimaginable violence are going to finally sit down and negotiate but if the assad government did confirm that it was going to take part in a conference long time ago the same can be said about the opposition they've been constantly changing their minds even in the last twenty four hours and mainly because of iran a key regional player which was also supposed to take port moscow and washington which had been pretty much organizing this conference have been saying that its success why we depends on the participation of anyone with an influence on the situation there in syria and iran is definitely one of these powers. you remember how the opposition reacted to the u.n. inviting they made him revoke the office away returning the tickets in six hours
10:13 am
time all in all this is an ugly situation. that iran not taking part in the conference is not a catastrophe but it will definitely not help unite the muslim community in the fight against terror which is also going to be one of the key issues on the table here in one troll since besides the political opposition it is widely known that terrorists including al qaeda linked groups are fighting there in syria as well so as the world's chief diplomat to continue to gather here in montreaux of course we'll be covering the whole conference and we'll be bringing you the latest details as it happens. who wants the threat of terrorism in syria especially those posed by al qaida to be the main focus of talks in geneva as groups operating in the country are targeting their government and their fellow rebels fierce clashes have left more than a thousand opposition fighters dead since the start of the year and as he's going up work now reports some believe washington's previous indiscriminate support for
10:14 am
the rebels is partly responsible here. when the enemy of your enemy is your enemy things can get complicated it's a conundrum the u.s. faces in syria where political financial and military support to the rebels has subsequently served to create a new hotbed for al-qaeda if it was charlotte's did not. stay in power or if he's weakened then syria could become that base another base like pakistan and that in afghanistan before it. uses 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 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
10:15 am
a possible we've almost come full circle after afghanistan and nine eleven where 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 of just defending themselves against you hardest 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. 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
10:16 am
a peace plan for syria they are being asked to pull the plug on terrorism. which should produce clear results with regard to the fight 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 especially saudi arabia turkey and of course the western countries that provide that it's proper for these terrorist organizations and. organizations no one ever imagined america would in any way support merino port r.t. new york. meanwhile violence caused by terror groups or syria is spilling across the border. into the pond nuestra front has claimed responsibility for a massive explosion in a shared dominated district of lebanon's. pupil. but even countries a long way from syria's borders could be vulnerable to the threat from terrorism
