live from our moscow studios you're watching our team international on wednesday france thanks for joining me rioters in ukraine's capital of kiev are reportedly holding two policemen hostage authorities also say an officer was found shot dead in the city center with another in hospital with stab or and wounds these are live pictures of independence square in central kiev just behind me now burning barricades like at this scene here protesters and riot police showered the streets with molotov cocktails and rubber bullets overnight and the fury in kiev is spreading to ukraine's west as artie's alexy reports. these are the scenes playing out across western ukraine one by one thirteen region so far have been overcome by protest grange rioters have stormed regional administration buildings it turned violent in some cases as angry crowds clashed with the police and over not occurring to the west of the river which breaks the country into but

on the other side there's hardly any disturbance at all if we're talking about people from cellphone east and boss they are not eager to participate 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 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 might follow yugoslavia scenario and break apart all enforcement detachments have been. control all the situation invest in regions in ukraine. very weak these days any sort of splits in the area which could happen within the next weeks. quite possible because government wouldn't have enough forces. needed 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 ukraine feel that the crowds are listening to anyone right now alexey version of ski r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine meanwhile president has agreed to several concessions for shuffling his cabinet and pledging to review recent laws that introduced harsher punishments for rioters however opposition leaders have called for citizens across ukraine to form militias and take control into their own hands arches policy clear travel east of the capital to see if those calls are being heard there here in eastern ukraine there's a lot of support for the president many did not support violence many do not support dilution they've been a number of rallies held in support of the government and we've been talking to people who do not want to see a change in power. but i stand for unocal which the only thing i wish is that he would have declared a state of emergency in the country but he didn't because he's such

a gentle hearted person. we're here to support our president viktor yushchenko bitch to support the constitutional order we want to see the calls for coup the time to stop as well as the violence to end people on my done should not be lied to anymore. if we want to live in a year within 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 half 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's been engulfing kiev has seen many western politicians voice their support the u.s. also imposing sanctions against ukraine's politicians ukrainian affairs analyst now bush 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 verda 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 gainsaying 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 and kids have their arsenal included to assault rifles for 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 cranium capital 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. a bomb has exploded near a police academy in cairo injuring one person this comes just

headquarters in cairo the people here like many in government the main them is above the heads and say this intervention attack on the state of the ousted islamist president mohamed 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 rising insurgency and the spike in terror attacks the media has observed the scheme announced by the brotherhood at the meetings abroad we want to disable the country's political roadmap and disturb the referendum on the constitution the muslim brotherhood is just a tool our enemy is the foreign element that controls these tools all egyptian people know about this but hundreds of brotherhood supporters are in jail and they say they are under attack from the power hungry military this month the majority of

a significant boycott of the referendum elections are 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 there's 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 a theater of sport on ice. this venue is a lake and it's ready for the hockey. game as for me i think i need a little bit more practice in the ring our correspondent tries out the stadium that will host all of the ice hockey action at the softer winter olympics next month don't miss that shortly plus. a. confidentiality.

a gathering of far right political leaders from across europe it's hosted by our 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 that the ball is once and for all not acceptable to the right wing people who are in the cause of who we are not dancing celebrating. meshes with nazi ideas it's a closing bridge between our right to extrude mission in austria a. little of the society it's a crying to me to be human mystic movement today the crowd gathered here is dying to have left wing groups representatives of shootings organize ations members of the jewish community and holocaust survivors on top for true justice it

is just simply don't like the fact that the gathering is taking place in the city's main palace where people with bots extremist and anti semitic views are gathering but the reality is that these right wing groups are gaining popularity across europe it's very very scary just that these parties are growing so much the crisis in europe the socialist or the social democratic party's day did not have to ride on susanto crisis and along comes right the right wing extremist parties and they have very easy answers protest organizers say it's far right political leaders the said to be holding secret meetings planning on how to build will not surge and popular support but they have been uniting ahead of. european parliamentary elections in may but once 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

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 sit 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 a 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 the an arms embargo is probably right now out of reach. on our t. dot com when news of fracking brings joy instead of anger the company scraps its plans for gas extraction at a controversial site in southeast england but the u.-turn appears to have nothing to do with the protest and gulf area last year find out what really prompted the move. plus space cops u.s. scientists have developed a series of mini satellites to patrol the earth's orbit and protect other satellites from collisions with space junk on our website we've got all the details . in ice hockey there's no other international competition that can be more exciting than the olympic tournament only once every four years the very best players from both sides of the atlantic get a chance to go head to head as part of their national teams and before the

records will be shared with the public for research purposes and despite promises of anonymity for those whose illnesses are exposed the move has sparked furious debate as tests are sillier reports. some twenty six million households in england will be receiving leaflets like this one from the national health service or the n.h.s. explaining medical records and some confidential information may be shared with third parties which they say is in order to improve patient care all of this will 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 via the family doctor mental health illnesses you have serious diseases and even smoking and drinking habits will be made available to research 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
