in any sort of military action in the southern region of the crimea authorities have had enough of the national wide uprising they are ready to defend peace and order although they seem confident they want to have to. this wave would never reach us but if it does our party is ready to provide help to law enforcers we would set up road blocks and not let anyone get inside crimea our party a lotus capable of mobilizing up to five thousand people. we're not talking about seceding from ukraine yet we're talking about restoring constitutional order but we would never accept any orders from illegitimate bodies of power created as the mind . for a better understanding of what exactly happening in ukraine in terms of its territory we have this map over here the parts of the country marked in yellow the ones where the local administrations have already been overthrown the red ones the contest the territories the pink ones where riots and mass uprisings are still taking place and

the blue ones where nothing is happening at all there is no revolt no uprising at all and you can see for yourself this is pretty much a fifty fifty division such strong antigun is in between the two sides of the country have great concerns which had previously seemed unthinkable that ukraine my follow yugoslavia scenario and break apart all enforcement detachments have been. control all the situation invest in regions in ukraine. every week these days the any sort of splits in the area we could happen within the next weeks must be described as quite possible because government wouldn't have enough forces so you will be split it probably in two parts. we've got two different times on thursday the opposition declared a truce with the government for seventy two hours but with rioters in kiev again burning tires and hurling burning projectiles at the police hardly anyone in

a gentle hearted person who. we're here to support our president viktor yushchenko bitch to support the constitutional order we want to see the calls for coup this time to stop as well as the violence to end people on my gun should not be allowed to any of. it we want to know whether they yearly in the country well let's behave in a civilized manner and that's the opposite from what is happening right now this is anarchy and this is wrong the western media has been depicting the story as if the whole of ukraine is against the government but this is simply untrue you have a hof the country here in eastern ukraine where people support the president and they have been gathering themselves in almost vigilante type groups to protect the government in the case of violence for now though they have been holding pro-government rallies and these will continue throughout the day here at places like october square rallies have been held in the past against association with the

european union r.t. donetsk ukraine. the rioting that has engulfed you care of has seen many western politicians voice their support with us also imposing sanctions against ukraine's politicians ukrainian affairs analyst an abortion mileage says that's exactly what the protesters have been aiming for. they're trying to force the issue this is this is your typical extortion tactic the whole point is to force the government to react the whole point is to force another police forces to confront the protesters and then scream bloody murder oh my god they're killing us they're oppressing us please help look what's happening help us foreign intervention and so on and so forth it is a very basic tactic from the rebellion playbook being implemented throughout the world in georgia and elsewhere in the ukraine in two thousand and four of all things so i think the protesters are trying to make a point that they're to ones that decide what gets done and who initiates the violence as evidenced by mr klitschko statement that we will hold him to live until

the negotiations are over but we have the power to actually go on strike and initiate attack and he's he's directly again saying his foreign supporters are saying the government is responsible for this it's not it's a protesters. meanwhile ukrainian police say they've seized a range of weapons when they detained a gang in kiev their arsenal included two assault rifles four pistols and hundreds of rounds of ammunition authorities say they have evidence that the gang was involved in kidnappings and supplied arms to the protesters in the ukrainian capital live pictures here right behind me of independence square in central kiev where the drama is unfolding of course we've been following the riots in ukraine since that kicked off last november had to r.t. dot com for a timeline with the latest updates and footage from kiev and much more. strong

country descends into chaos gyptian a dangerously split between those who back the military and those who support muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsy crowds of people gathered at the science of the bomb blast which ripped open the facade of egypt's main police headquarters in cairo the people here like many in governments blame them is above the heads and say this intervention attack on the states off the house of islam is president mohammed morsi with anger mounting there is likely to be a harsher crackdown on the islamist group. exit the brotherhood they are to blame for this the terrorists want to break the country in half some are afraid to leave their homes but most are more determined than ever to go to the streets against the brotherhood for the revolution anniversary the military installed government accuses the brotherhood of being behind a wising insurgency and the spike in terror attacks the media has observed the scheme announced by the brotherhood at the meetings abroad who want to disable the country's political road and disturb the referendum on the constitution the muslim

brotherhood is just a tool that our enemy is the foreign element. knows these tools people know about this but hundreds of brotherhood supporters are in jail and they say they're under attack from the power hungry military this month the majority of the population approved a new constitution that broaden the army's powers it shields the military budget from cuts gives the armed forces the right to approve defense ministers and choice of billions in military courts the military coup that the always career these kind of. explosions just two years typically to get the justification again is the people and we believe that these three bombing this morning these three losers this morning. just to. have more in the more my circles again is there. in the street three years after the uprising we saw the country unite against

a dictatorship egypt is now increasingly divided rather than celebrating a new democracy and much needed change egyptians steeling themselves more violence . for r.t. cairo. the two thousand and eleven revolution eventually led to the toppling of the longstanding dictator hosni mubarak following more than a year of transitional military rule the islamist backed leader mohammed morsi was elected president his government tried to push through a constitution criticized for being over influenced by sharia law last july he was thrown out of office by the army command after months of popular uprising the signaled a return to an era of crackdowns by the military backed government the muslim brotherhood was choked and later declared a terrorist organization editor of the pan-african newswire. says egyptians government is asking for more trouble by completely turning its back on the opposition. i mean cannot guarantee security and sat of egypt as long as there's no

political solution to this split that exists between the brotherhood as well as the military and those who are aligned with the egyptian military it's a very tense atmosphere inside of the country there are many opponents to the military backed regime there was a significant boycott of the that's random elections just last week and i believe that the tensions are going to grow and as long as the current interim government remains intransigent and wants to continue the requestion of the muslim brotherhood and other forces inside the country who disagree with their rule this potential for more conflict both in the streets as well as the type of attacks that we saw earlier yesterday. and still ahead this hour the bolshoi with a difference. this very. lake and it's ready for

thousands have rallied in vienna against a ball where some of europe's leading right wing politicians had gathered for the social event marches paula boyko reports now how the movement despite numerous protests is sweeping across the continent. academic a ball courts protest and courts of a sea everywhere because of the names on its guest list it's become a gathering of far right political leaders from across europe it's hosted by a serious freedom quality and for my guests include marine le pen francaise national front leader as well as far right wing politicians from belgium germany and italy several thousand protesters hit the city streets to mom doing the ball is once and for all not acceptable right when people are in the council we're not

to ride on susanto crisis and along comes right the right wing extremist parties and they have very easy on this is protest organizers say it's far right political leaders said to be holding secret meetings planning on how to build on not surgeon calculus support but they have been uniting ahead of. european parliamentary elections in may but while they're inside the palace as the saying goes they're only going to be waltzing to the right and the diverse crowd that's represented here this evening is determined to show you that it's not happy about sarah polley boycott see vienna. the syrian government and the opposition are again hoping to hold a joint meeting later on sunday that's after negotiations collapsed and made mutual condemnation before they even began the delegates are reportedly still not prepared to talk to each other directly instead communicating through the u.n.

mediator lakhdar brahimi with a broad political solution now looking to be too far off the sides will spend the next two days focusing on humanitarian issues the syrian civil war has killed over one hundred thirty thousand people in nearly three years political analyst phyllis bennis is skeptical the meeting will resolve major issues with some of the key players absent from negotiations. i think if the sides in the same room even if they don't speak directly to each other ironically enough that will be a step forward it's critical all major players have said there is no military solution to this crisis i think that the leaders of both sides although it's hard to even say both sides given that there are so many sides right now but i think that all sides recognize that to be true the question is how long is it going to take and how many more people have to die before a real agreement that would include an arms embargo as well as a temporary cease fire can come into effect we can't afford failure but i'm afraid

that without iran and without some of the crucial parts of the opposition that a ceasefire will only be partial that. an arms embargo is probably right now out of reach. and canada police and firefighters have suspended their search for the. victims of a massive fire that destroyed a nursing home but already confirmed eight people died in the blaze in a small town in quebec province of the right most of the residents were over seventy five years old thirty people are still missing with rescue efforts being hampered by subzero temperatures. armed clashes have erupted in the central african republic between christian militias and former muslim rebels who seized power last year at least sixteen people were killed on thursday and made calls by the authorities on both groups to stop the interreligious violence two thousand people have died there since march with french

be kept under a new giant database called care and everyone's n.h.s. information will be included unless people choose to opt out by their family doctor mental health illnesses you have serious diseases and even smoking and drinking habits will be made available to researchers but also insurers and private medical companies and pharmaceutical companies now the n.h.s. has said that they do have measures in place to make sure that identities are kept private but i debate has been reignited between advocates of the benefits of such a database and campaigners we spoke with julia manning from twenty twenty health an independent think tank on the issue the first time it would bring together. from the hospital sector from the community sector so that's what's really revolutionary about it's. about. confidentiality being maintained concerned about public awareness we don't think people really know yet what's going on and also the

accuracy of. mind of research or having access to your information to be able to inform clinical research but you might be very concerned that private information about you is publicly available and we really feel it should be an opt in system and so the debate continues a massive drive for patient care improvement or a gross violation of patient privacy or the n.h.s. constitution does set out that individuals have the right to object to disclosures of their personal confidential data and that they also have the right for these objections to be respected. r.t. . elderly patients in the u.k. are facing age discrimination seniors are often being written off as too old to treat as props survival rates in britain for elderly patients suffering from cancer to almost the lowest level in europe had to argue dot com for the full story.

welcome to the kaiser report i'm max keiser the world economic forum was created in nineteen seventy one and for over a forty years the dirtiest scuzzy is the names and business banking and politics have met in davos switzerland and each year's meeting they claim they are meeting in order to devise new ways to save the world to deliver prosperity it's all this year for example bill gross tweeted about one of those alleged save the world quote sessions he said the sharing economy satisfies a fundamental yearning of humanity to be in a community. yes go ahead and bar for the reality is that for every year since the creation of the world economic forum's inequality has grown real incomes of the financial crimes redistributed more wealth and on a bad acid trip. well would do very well up there at the form and you know it was created in one thousand seventy one it was called then european

management form started and it didn't rename itself until one thousand nine hundred seven when it called itself the world economic form but you know the eighty's were of course the time at the beginning of this whole financialization of the world and it became more of a bankers hangout and bankers hanging out with politicians so i want to look at the world that they've created because you know a lot of people say they're up there to save the world this is why these bankers me to give their elite opinion about how we should save the world but if you look at this chart from charles you smith it's a percent change in real income since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight now the top ten percent is that red line and the bottom ninety percent is the blue line and as you can see it rose sharply for the top ten percent around one nine hundred eighty two and it just tore away from the blue line the bottom ninety percent where they were rising all together for the first fifty years of that chart. yeah that's right oh you know since one thousand seventy one you say you know that's of course

when the u.s. off the gold standard then we began a period of financialization and global financial ization and global derivatives that were based on global financial ization which has been the engineering trick to create this massive wealth inequality and it's continued now thanks to meetings like davos or builder berger or any of these other global conflict or bankers industrialists and crooks get together to figure out new ways to impoverish the globe and they're doing an outstanding job yes and of course first of all it took ninety seven i want to tell the eighty's before they really tore away because there was a ten year period where people were uncertain if the world could go on a total fiat's system and paul volcker raising rates up to twenty percent really convince people that yes the dollar could be the world's reserve currency it's as good as gold but the other thing is that.
