is r.t. international live from our studio center here in moscow which just turned eight pm and six pm in kiev where the government is offering further concessions to calm the rest with president pledging to free those arrested during the riots earlier this week well meanwhile protests are engulfing more cities across western ukraine live to the capital now in artie's peeta all over so pete what is the government's plan now. what we've been hearing from president. to the latest rounds of talks between the government and the opposition now he's announced what's been achieved so far he said the january sixteenth laws that were brought into. down on demonstrations that they would be changes to those laws he didn't say

that they would be repealed but we're expecting there could be some kind of softening of the legislation that was brought in to try and tackle the riots here now the opposition and government have agreed that there will be an amnesty for all people who are being detained by police during the riots that we've seen here in kiev as well as across the rest of the country now what we're going to see next week is a emergency session of parliament here in ukraine during that emergency session we're expecting to see a reshuffle of the the on a covert his government he said he's going to change a few members of personnel around so we'll be looking to see what comes out of out of that next week now in terms of the violence that's been going on here that the on a covert you said that he points the finger towards a groups all foreigners who be responsible for the majority of the worst violence blaming them for coming in and provoking the situation here that we've seen in

times get really quite out of control now the president said that he will do everything to try and bring about peace saying that all legal means at his disposal would be used as he tries to bring some kind of calm back to the practically of the rest of ukraine what well yes you mentioned the rest of ukraine there apart from what's happening in the capital it seems that armrest is definitely spreading throughout other parts of the country tell us more about lat. well we're looking at about a dozen cities in the west of the country where police and rioters clashed it's government buildings official buildings that have been the targets for these new riots in the west of the country the worst affected cities where we're looking at the cities of yvonne of their friend gulf where writers had tried to take government buildings on thursday night we now see after a vicious standoff that they have succeeded in breaking their way into government

buildings and not city in the elsewhere in. chad north sea. well what we've seen there is around one thousand rioters facing off against around one hundred riot police in one of the main government buildings there it's been some quite thick scenes coming from from not standoff the police there of course outnumbered ten to one in that situation and in love all of which was one of the first cities outside of kiev to see violence there. also major roads in the city how being barricaded similar ways to what we've seen in kiev this well the police headquarters in not city we understand has been surrounded by riot is as well now the ukrainian prime minister mr is out of has said that there will be negotiations and i'll be talking to the e.u. switzerland about. trying to ease tensions in ukraine and see if they

can help to perhaps broker some kind of a peace between opposition riot is. the government here now the news what's been coming out from ukraine has been making headlines around the world and we've heard comments from the e.u. and u.s. leaders some of those comments being claimed only really succeeding in inflaming tensions here in inflaming the violence you can have a look at some of those comments that are being coming out of brussels and washington. the violent scenes in ukraine triggered a strong reaction from abroad seems like they so police attacking protesters. telecine 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 well and he was ready to take action if the situation didn't

change these type of statements of led to accusations of encouraging the riot is in a way that's being seen 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 just not. to european leaders that have weighed in on the ukrainian crisis the united states canceled 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 has 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 attacked in the west of the country while throughout it all thousands of demonstrators and police remain caught in a tense standoff right in the heart of the capital peter all of a r.t. . or german in france of some of ukraine's ambassadors over the protests in kiev

and other cities meanwhile at the davus economic forum in switzerland police have detained demonstrators at a rally to support the unrest there in ukraine although that's triggered no response from brussels the foreign of affairs adviser for the french national front says it's another sign of e.u. inconsistency. it's typically a situation of double standards but we are used we have double standards we if we are talking about value with you government because i give you an example if you are talking about what happening friends we've managed to miss protestation that was the right against gay marriage and could you imagine that if the russian government have been interfere into the situation what could have been the position of the officer of the french government so this is something we have to say russia is not interfering into country's affairs which is not the case for the western

world there are backing protests there are backing for the station and at the same time don't respect the right of their own protests at home and the opposition leader vitaly klitschko was booed as he publicly announce the results of talks with the government the boxer turned politician hasn't exactly been getting universal support from the protesters earlier this week he was sprayed by a fire extinguisher or trying to calm the rioting opposition appears deeply fractured with many protesters being firmly against any talks and calling for revolution radical groups have been at the core of the protests in ukraine's capital alexia chef ski investigates the unrest far right contingent. here convulsed by violence. molotov cocktails pitched battles between protesters and police a capital city spiraling out of control. and amid all that

radicals and extremists who are spearheading this violence. and is ready teacher in a key of synagogue 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 controversy surrounding his role in history in many countries this what hardly surprised anyone in today's kiev but that the other scene of the protest beside what seems to be future molotov cocktails was see a peculiar graffiti on the wall an old eric room which is unlikely to have any double meanings in european countries because back in the one hundred forty s. it was used by some of the not social divisions. now that also wing activists have become the core of the protest some analysts say the spain's bleak picture for the country. is most of those rioting do not take orders from our legal opposition forces there 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. ukraine's leader has said he's ready to have further talks with the opposition and you can head to r.t. dot com to find out more about that also online we're providing minute by minute updates on the situation and reporting on the improvised weaponry being used by a street mobs against police offices. a fourth explosion has rocked the egyptian capital killing one person that comes just hours after a series of deadly blasts shook leaving five people dead and injuring dozens more an islamic extremist group has admitted to carrying out the attack on the police building and most reporters of egypt's ousted president mohamed morsy a clashing with security forces in cairo and other cities across the country two

people have reportedly been killed in the unrest and this comes just before the third anniversary of egypt's two thousand and eleven revolution that toppled the country's longtime leader hosni mubarak era based journalist hugh miles says the government faces a huge challenge to keep islamist groups at bay. but of course lou shows us that the the islamist movement who presumably responsible for this bombing no one has no evidence has been produced but i mean this looks like it could well be the work of the one of these jihadist groups inside of who claimed responsibility for previous attacks. they are not going to go away it's not going to be possible for all the egyptian government just to pretend that is mists did not win five elections fair and square. kicked out of power they can't just carry on business as usual and if they try and carry on business as usual then there's

obviously we can see there's going to be efforts to destruct. the syrian opposition refusal to sit down for talks with the government has derailed peace talks in geneva one serious rival rebel factions are facing off in a gruesome battle for supremacy with no unity in sight as said camp a report from inside syria is coming up shortly for you here in the international. this is the media leave us so we need to be. part of the scene motions to. play your part of the visible. issues that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politic.

headline. reports. between syria's warring factions have been reports saying the opposition delegation

is refusing to write dialogue with the regime it's demanding a written commitment to the geneva one communique calling for a transitional government meanwhile the un mediator on syria has met with the government delegation and is warning that it will leave switzerland saturday and this progress is made 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 with the u.n. special envoy on syria president 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 tory's 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 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 media to knock the brick he me is currently meeting with the opposition delegation but antiwar activists brumback it believes the syrian rebels are not willing to make any compromises here 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 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 what is international media has had to hoodwink in syria and unity that you need to there's a fresh infighting among the opposition in the war zone itself activists say fourteen hundred people have been killed this month alone during clashes between rival rebel factions or if a nation is at the front lines and just warn you that some images in the report graphic. for me gin in old in syria one of the richest and most developed before three divest eighteen years of war has been the scene of some of the fiercest

clashes between government troops and the rebels fighting shoulder to shoulder with a number of different al qaida affiliated groups but now a different sort of war is raging on the same battlefield that there's. been a good or a loss of gosh the moderates free syrian army an umbrella military organization united n.t.'s our forces since the beginning of the conflict is battling numerous radical jihadist groups who they say hijacked the revolution in order to establish an islamic caliphate in syria don't sometimes do not stand up he had up to the roof of one of the highest buildings in the city of aleppo but the syrian army's line ends at the who say from a mosque after that and you have no control the militants are only fifteen others beyond the mosque and the area is just food of militants five hundred meters from here and beyond that it's just a pool of them. and we had clashes nearby but the syrian army is not even involved

just about got the confrontation is now between the free syrian army and the jihad as of isis when darkness comes will join the fight but for now we are on standby let her know we don't have any troops there we are fighting between themselves for control. according to the syrian observatory for human rights the london based opposition group relying on activists in the field for their data around fourteen hundred people have been killed in the country since hostilities between the rebels and jihadists broke out these january among the dead hundreds of moderate rebels and nearly two hundred civilians in an audio message posted online on thursday leader ayman al-zawahiri called on his militants to immediately hold the fighting between the brothers but clashes exit q sions and torture between those who were once calm rates continue. and with the syrian government and opposition now

starting their first dialogue and three years the question is now how this internal rebel fight will affect syria as a home some say it would most likely weaken the whole n.t.'s movement others fear the rebels would be completely taken over by the jihadists that's a scenario that could harm even potentially undermine the prospects of peace that's been perceived at the current talks in geneva. rif notion r.t. from syria the syrian turmoil is also behind an escalation in cyber warfare on our website we report how a pro-government group of syrian hackers targeted cnn's twitter and facebook accounts on what sort of confusion the hackers were able to cause. plus this facebook facing the end research likening the website's rise to a disease epidemic that users are apparently getting cured read about the study which predicts when the social network could collapse. how much has been

to american stealth bombers flying over the peninsula during the exercises. when you have made a team just over half an hour the mean time larry king grills a veteran u.s. politician in the future of congress and the white house that some of the brain. 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 and such and thousands of people ride the subway in their underwear as if it were a normal day which the organizers 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 and 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 your pants on this idea must've been created by some people with a pretty decadent lifestyle because how could 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 was volunteers please use it responsibly and productively but that's just my opinion. he could congress in the midst of a scandal and he 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 already 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

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 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 the one 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 that i don't have any great insight i know that if hillary.
