resent the ukrainian people which of these protesters believe in and what do they really want is ukraine on the path to nowhere. on arrests in ukraine spreads to other cities where crowds are besieging local administrations while in the capital a temporary truce is holding as the opposition and the government vowed to continue talks. with many protesters dismissing and even though she will look at the radical elements and the trouble are fueling the violence. at another news no face to face meeting for the syrian government and the opposition as of warring sides agree to talk only three un mediators in different rooms at different times. and cairo is rocked by series of deadly blasts claiming at least four lines and

injuring dozens of others i have the anniversary of a twenty eleven uprising. international coming to you live from moscow with. unrest isn't golfing more cities across western ukraine while in kiev government concessions have failed to appease the opposition the two sides plan to hold another round of talks and end the fragile truce well in many other places though the situation isn't so peaceful and these are all the main regional cities and all of them have tried to seize local administrations bullies only managed to repel the crowds and just one of those let's now talk to our correspondent here all over who joins us live from the

ukrainian capital peter did tell us about the unrest spreading to other cities across ukraine. well currently around a dozen ukrainian cities are under siege by rioters these people are targeting local authority building the local government buildings police stations and the likes and barricading roads no three of the worst affected cities which has seen the worst violence. in the town or city of tennessee where we're hearing that right now we're around one thousand rioters are besieging local government buildings there with around one hundred riot police trying to keep them away but of course they are they are outnumbered ten to one in that situation in live volved which was one of the first cities outside of kiev to see violence biloba into its. right is have occupied government buildings there. they've blocked roads in there also barricading the police barricade in the police headquarters so that certainly say

they seem to have the upper hand in that situation and in which was also one of the first cities to see violence outside of kiev well we're seeing similar scenes there as well as large groups of rioters take over the government buildings and try to barricade make barricades there to form defensive positions now in response to this news prime minister of the ukrainian prime minister has called these actions the in an attempt at a coup d'etat so he's certainly taking nice the very seriously the the violence that we're seeing spreading away from kiev and into western ukraine where say around a dozen cities currently under siege there might be to tell us what's happening in ukraine in capital right now how calm is the situation on the streets. but we have a very tentative and somewhat on the easy piece here right now what we have seen i

was just we're just behind me is independence square is continuing to have speeches being delivered there to a crowd over where the main flaw. point has been either number stadium we were just over there before i was talking to you and the barricades are still being reinforced as much as they can the still more and more tires are arriving the fires aren't as severe as we've seen previous days but they are still burning there's still that thick black smoke in the air one of the most disturbing things though we have heard just recently comes from the authorities here which they are getting ready and they're prepared because of some information that they've received that they could be an attempt by hardline groups here to perform some kind of retaliation killing to retaliate for the deaths of of rioters demonstrators here in kiev so that's also very worrying news and we'll be keeping an eye on that as we get more information on it but overall right now it's a it's a very tentative peace here but there are still lots of groups of people carrying

rudimentary weapons in their own homemade body armor many of them now. this these incidents what we've seen here in ukraine have been drawing attention from all around the world over some of the comments that have been coming out in particular from the european union and from the united states of. criticism claiming that they're encouraging rioters to to take to the streets more into continued violence against authorities here and you listen to my reports on what the comments of being just right now. the violence seems in ukraine triggered a strong reaction from abroad scenes like this so police attacking protesters. tell it to the protesters against the police has prompted the head of the e.u. parliament martin scholtz to call for immediate elections in the country while jose manuel barroso the e.u. commission president warned that he was ready to take action if the situation

didn't change these type of statements of led to accusations of encouraging the rioters in a way which. see previous conflicts it's a very similar scenario to what was happening in. the beginning of the ninety's. we had people clamoring for democracy which was completely illegitimate and then. outside western support pretty much gave way to the extremist who started calling not just for democracy but for the breakup of the country it's not just european leaders that have way you did on the ukrainian crisis the united states cancelled visas for officials who it believes were involved in the crackdown on demonstrators the end of last year and all the time they've pointed the finger of blame for the riots directed at the ukrainian government now this increasing tension in ukraine is a direct consequence of the government failing to acknowledge that legitimate grievances of its people instead it is moved to weaken the foundations of ukraine's democracy

by criminalizing peaceful protests and stripping civil society and political opponents of key democratic protections under the law determined not to see his country ripped apart president geonic overtures warned foreign politicians against trying to influence which direction the country will take care and politicians from the west and east really help us let's be frank they are fighting for their influence over ukraine or state is independent weekend and we will decide our fate independently the government and opposition have entered into tentative negotiations just as violence spreads to other cities with local government offices attacks in the west of the country while throughout it all thousands of demonstrators and police remain caught in a tense standoff right in the hearts of the capital peter all of a. an opposition leader who was booed as a publicly announced the result of talks with the government the boxer turned

politician haven't exactly been getting universal support from the protesters early . this weekend he was sprayed by a fire extinguisher while trying to calm the rioting the opposition appears deeply fractured was mannie protesters being firmly against any talks and calling for revolution but have one russian political thing tank told us it's very dangerous when the leaders of the and rast lack influence. see happening today in my done on my done looks more and more as the events unfolding in. the square in cairo and we know what the events the ultra nationalists fascists are driving. violence cannot be controlled and the so-called ukrainian opposition actually.

gave them a lot to them to allow them to participate in these violence or what we see today the answer seems to me to semitic. statements of those people this is a cyclical typical fascist behavior it will be very difficult to stop the pandora box or few create fascism or open radical groups have been at the core of the protests in ukraine's capital the country's prime minister claims it's actually not the opposition fighting the government but the militants are just like here shift investigate the far right components of the unrest. of convulsed by violence. molotov cocktails pitched battles between protesters and police a capital city spiraling out of control. and amid all it's the radicals and extremists who are spearheading this violence. and his ready teacher

in a key of synagogue dog glickman is following it all from his hospital bed twenty four hours before the violence erupted he was beaten and stabbed by unidentified men it was the second attack on a jew in his many days we asked the local jewish community to comment on the matter but they refused hearing retribution from far right groups those watching on from abroad are also deeply disturbed by recent developments what. of course we're worried about jews in ukraine at the moment because if there is anti-semitic violence there will be no mercy for anyone neither women nor children. with nazi off fascist images clearly on display the concern is that even the nationalist leaders are no longer in control of their supporters and the evidence of support for ukrainian wartime leaders who lead death squads against the jews is apparent on the streets of kiev right beside the stage of kiev's independence square the heart of the protest there is

a big banner with step on going down on it the 1940's insurgent leader in the ukraine but despite there's lots of control of the surrounding his role in history in many countries this would hardly surprise anyone in today's gear but that the other scene of the protests beside what seems to be future molotov cocktails we see a peculiar graffiti on the wall an old eric groom which is unlikely to have any double meanings in european countries because back in the one nine hundred forty s. it was used by some of the nazis to divisions. now that ultra wing activists have become the core of the protest some analysts say dispense bleak picture for the country. most of those rioting do not take orders from our legal opposition forces they are radical nationalists football fans revolutionary romanticists and inadequate people it's a mixed mob but radical nationalists are the only ones with knowledge and skill when it comes to mass riots they know how to handle themselves it's not only unsafe

for the public but also for the future. alexi russia's ski r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. well the german foreign ministry has summoned ukraine's ambassador so i had to argue dot com to find out what's behind that also there today we're providing minute by minute updates on the situation and a report on the improvised weaponry being used by rioters against police. here she is between syria's warring factions have been postponed with a report saying the opposition delegation is rushing direct dialogue with the regime the u.n. mediator on syria has met with the government delegation and sworn that i will leave switzerland on saturday unless progress is made going off as the latest from the geneva two peace conference the talks were supposed to officially start at

eleven am with the both the authorities and the opposition sitting down at the same table and formally greeting each other would the u.n. special envoy on syria president or as well and it was planned that after that he was going to hold separate meetings with both sides passing on information and thus making this dialogue possible but since the rebels refused to sit down at the same table with the of tories formally the talks haven't started and formally they have been postponed one of the main sticking points is that the opposition continues pressing on their demands for president assad to step down while the authorities are saying that first they have to stop the violence defeat the terror threat in the country and then hold nationwide elections with anyone willing taking part for the syrian people to decide of the country's political future so clearly they're not on the same page when it comes to the talks are going to continue at least with mr brahimi at the end of the day hopefully we'll find out if they'll bring any results. united nations mediate a lockdown brahimi is meeting with the opposition has set to take place in

a few hours time by anti-war activists brownback or believes the syrian rebels are not willing to make an compromises syrian opposition has come to the conference kicking and screaming in the first place they don't really want to be there because there's nothing that they think that they can get from the conference the syrian opposition only wants one thing which is to replace the assad government with their own government and clearly the assad government edge and even is prepared for a political settlement but won't agree in advance that the assad government will disappear or no longer be present in syria there are forces within the syrian armed opposition those affiliated with al qaida those who are getting the bulk of their arms from saudi arabia and from other regimes in the in the middle east they don't look for a negotiated settlement they're not going to agree to a negotiated settlement so it's not possible for the syrian government to see the syrian opposition is a real partner for negotiations when there are two wings two armed wings fighting each other and fighting the assad government and one wing is determined in advance

that they will never agree to some sort of transition that allows the bath this party to remain in power in any shape or form. a while diplomatic volleys are exchanged in switzerland there is more trouble on the home front as rival rebel group swap hands in a gruesome valve for supremacy with no unity in sight for the antacid camp all reports from inside syria is coming up shortly. there's a legal so we believe that maybe. the sea potions to cure the play your part of the musical. shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from . politics only on r t.

and coming out next larry king grills a veteran u.s. politician on the future of congress and the white house to save us. recently facebook was ablaze with likes and shares about the twenty fourteen no pants subway ride this is a yearly event that has grown in popularity and spread way beyond its native new york to cities across the globe according to fox news a century thousands of people ride the subway in their underwear as if it were a normal day what you're going to say is a prank collective the cause of scenes of chaos and joy in public places yeah i guess this is kind of funny i mean hey i like wackiness but think about the effort of propaganda takes to get thousands of people the world over to simultaneously do

something and then with all that effort and all those thousands of participants all you do is walk around without your pants on this idea must have been created by some people with a pretty decadent lifestyle because how can you even think of organizing people for the goal of spreading joy when a lot of us can't even afford to put dinner on the table in the future could you guys please try some pantless food donating or pencils recycling or maybe best of all and artist of all pencils job creating wackiness is fine but when you have the power of thousands of trouser with volunteers please use it responsibly and productively but that's just my opinion. he could conquer. yes in the midst of a scandal only recently made an unsuccessful bid to become new york city's mayor he's the always outspoken democrat anthony weiner and he joins we're going to talk about obama's second term the mounting allegations against new jersey governor chris christie and what he calls the white can do wing of the g.o.p.

plus we'll hopefully get a few insights into picking up the pieces after a public fall anthony wiener is our special guest today on politics. with larry king on larry king and if anyone is our special guest he's been a frequent guest the mind during the many years that i was on television at c.n.n. i'll tell you very frankly i always enjoyed talking with him i guess i've always found him to freely speak his mind a six term congressman who never was afraid to speak out on any issue he joins we from a snowy day in new york let's take care of some quick things anthony and get to some things current how well you do and how you're holding up eugene o'neill said there is a second act in america well i'm doing well it's great to be to be on with you and

talk to a brooklyn boy who's displaced there in l.a. for i look i'm doing fine i mean the guy destined myself off ahead of the run for mayor was one that i you know i was proud the campaign that we ran i obviously was a deeply flawed messenger and we didn't do as well as we would like but nothing ventured nothing gained moving forward and last i got at a two year old at home and now a wife i love very much and so i've gotten many blessings to be thankful for are you out of the political arena at all it's completely. well i can't see running for office again anytime in the in the near middle or probably the distant distant future i mean i had to spend my entire adult life in politics i worked for my predecessor chuck schumer and then was elected to the city council of a young age and was honored to have a job that's mentioned in the united states constitution representing the people of brooklyn and queens so i've had a pretty good career it as an elected official the things i care about i still care

about i mean the challenges facing the middle class and those struggling to make it a challenge to find comprehensive health care for all americans these things i still care about the law i'll be looking for other ways to advance those things but i'm not sure running for office again in the future will be in the cards but do take it one day at a time. and before we get to some current is your wife still very close with she's still were invented worry. she's she's she's hillary's chief of staff to her transition whatever the you know hillary organization is now who is that in whom is secretary clinton's chief of staff. do you think she's going to run. well i don't have any inside knowledge we keep kind of a fire wall in our household information like that in but i don't have any great insight i know that if hillary were to run she'd be an amazing cavity arguably the most qualified candidate in the history of the united states ever to run for president i know that if she does decide.
