i'm going to. run. my pictures there from central kiev where protesters are still holding strong there blazing barricades in that capital city set the country on fire of rioters control seven local governments in western regions all ukraine's east stands behind the president. another bomb attack on police in cairo marks the anniversary of the two thousand and eleven revolution that's just a day after a string of blast around the capital killed six. and thousands protest against a social gathering of far right politicians in vienna as nationalist movements gained popularity across europe.

like from our moscow studios you're watching r t international i'm lindsey frank thanks for joining me. writers in ukraine's capital kiev are reportedly holding two policeman hostage authorities also say an officer was found shot dead in the city center with another in hospital with stab wounds amid burning the barricades 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 are chefs 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 all that occurring to the west of the river which breaks the country into one of the other side there's hardly any disturbance at all if we're talking about people from

solved. 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 to have to. this wave would never reach us but if it does our party is ready to provide help to law enforcers or if we want to set up roadblocks and not let anyone get inside crimea our party alone is 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 i don't 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 integrity is in between the two sides of the country have great concerns which had previously seemed unthinkable that ukraine my fellow yugoslavia scenario and break apart all. friends have been. control all the situation invest in regions in ukraine. the week these days the any sort of splits in the area we could happen within the next two 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 that the police hardly anyone in ukraine feels 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 reshuffling 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 party's policy or travel to the 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 revolution they've been and 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 yes and look what 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. when we said 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 done should not be lied to anymore you know 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 engulfed in care of has seen many western politicians voice their support with the u.s. also imposing sanctions against ukraine's politicians ukrainian affairs analyst the 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 to 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 in kiev their arsenal included to assault rifles for pistols and hundreds of rounds of ammunition authorities say they have evidence that the game was involved in kidnappings and supplied arms to the protesters in ukraine in capital we've got live pics right up here from the center of kiev in independence square where protesters are still holding strong we've of course been following the riots in ukraine since they kicked off last november as are two 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 a day after the egyptian capital suffered a series of bomb attacks which killed six people and wounded many more. this is security footage of the first and most powerful blast outside the city's police headquarters which like our officers dead as you can see it was a car bomb attacks hyped up public hatred of the muslim brotherhood who supporters in turn continue to defy protest bans on friday and faced off against police in various parts of egypt authorities say those outbreaks claimed at least twelve lives a correspondent del true reports from the epicenter of the unrest. three years on from the two thousand and eleven revolution egypt was supposed to be celebrating instead deadly bomb blasts rocked cairo targeting police offices as the country descends into chaos gyptian a dangerously split between those who backed the military and those who support ousted muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsy crowds of people gathered at the

site 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 state's office they ousted islamist president mohammed morsi with anger mounting there is likely to be a harsher crackdown on the islamist group. exit the brotherhood where 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 that controls these tools 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 the population approved a new constitution that broaden the army's power as it shields in military budget and cuts gives the arm. 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 to just typically get the justification again it's the people and we believe that these three bombing this morning these three losers this morning. just to. have more on the more massacre was against their. industry three years after the uprising which 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 ahead of more

violence. for r.t. cairo. the two thousand and eleven revolution eventually led to the toppling of 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 this signaled a return to an era of crackdowns by the military backed government muslim brotherhood was choked and later declared a terrorist organization editor of the pan-african newswire says egypt's government is asking for more trouble by completely turning its back on the opposition. the army 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 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 it's correspondent this venue if you like and it's. for the hockey. game as well. i think i need a little bit more practice in the rain. our correspondent tries up a stadium that will host all the ice hockey action at the saucy winter olympics

protests is sweeping across the continent. here enters the academic a ball courts protest and courts of see 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 our serious freedom policy 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 tomorrow monday that the ball is once and for all not acceptable right when people are in the council we are not dancing celebrating the pleasing mashes nazi adheres it's a closing bridge between our right to extremists who are in austria a. little of the society it's a crying to me to be human to stick movement today the crowd gathered here

is dying plus you have left wing groups representatives of she didn't organize ations members of the jewish community holocaust survivors and african studies it is just simply just like the fox not like 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 on gaming popularity across europe it's very very scary to us that these parties are growing so much with the crisis in europe the socialist or the social democratic parties they did not have to ride on susan to crisis and along comes the right wing extremist parties and they have very easy on this is a protest organizers say it's far right political leaders the said to be holding secret meetings planning on how to build on not surge and popular support but they

haven't uniting ahead of the. european parliamentary elections in may but while they're inside the palace as the saying goes they're really going to be waltzing to the right and the diverse crowd that's represented here this evening is determined to show that it's not happy about what the boy can see vienna. far right groups are indeed gaining ground across europe and austria the freedom party made a strong showing in september general election with over twenty percent of the vote the popularity of the dutch party for freedom also is currently at the same level while the movement for a better hungary polls up at thirteen percent and the golden dawn in greece is the country's third most popular party. the syrian government and the opposition are having another try at holding their first joint meeting in geneva that's after friday's negotiations almost collapsed amid mutual condemnation before

the even began the delegates are reportedly still not prepared to talk to one another 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 and 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 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 two dot com when news of fracking brings joy instead of anger a company's props its plans for show gas extraction at a controversial site in southeast england but the u.-turn appears to have nothing to do with the protests that engulfed the area last year find out what really prompted the move. 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 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 superstar blades begin carving the ice at the event's main arena and saw she teased about a lot say went to check it out for herself. the bowl sure ice palace is a twelve thousand multi-purpose arena now this is going to be home to the most anticipated all the events of the winter games hockey now bolshoi is rice anonymous with the russia and the words and means big in english so it's only fair to say that this stadium is the big ice palace but does it live up to its may. is located by the black sea coastline and is designed to resemble a giant frozen water droplet inside the traditional bowl shaped seating also some

flair with glazed glass on the complex. to see quickly with large screens cameras and a sound system so powerful spectators will be able to hear every one of the puck on the ice. those with disabilities who also have easy access to the new cheering on their favorite team now here's a taste of what to expect this olympic venue oh oh oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. oh oh oh i wanted to test the ice rink felt like beneath my feet and take a shot of being a cocky play on the limping arena. now i may have ended up looking impressive in our film but i found the keeping the hockey stick in place across the pond while

trying to balance on my skates was a job i was happy to be to the professionals ok so i'm not an olympic hockey player but one thing that's for sure is that this venue is public and it's ready for the hockey a limping games as for me i think i need a little bit more practice in the rain go on my play inside of the ball so i stay employed to our team. stay with us for more reports from where the athletes will be going for gold got plenty to share with you in the run up to the games and of course the big opening ceremony it's all here on our t.v. the best place to gear up for your winter olympics. here you ok. how do you operate doing brigade rumors could you get a sports fan so to speak stephen is it as easy as resoled i'm not an olympic hockey

player is on the big. league and even my son. britain's national health service has announced that patient's medical 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 cilia 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 how 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 by their family doctor now mental health illness is yet serious the season even smoking into good habits will be made available to research years but also insurers and private medical

companies 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 help an independent think tank on the a she's the first time we're bringing 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 our records you might not mind a 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 through these objections to be respected just sylvia r.t. . iraqi authorities say a double blast has killed a soldier his wife and four children the incident which destroyed the entire house happened early saturday in a town north of baghdad sectarian tension is running high in the country in which almost eight thousand civilians and over a thousand security forces were killed last year. president has reiterated he will not sign a security pact with the u.s. until peace talks resume with the pakistani taliban made karzai has repeatedly refused to pen the deal which would allow american troops to stay in afghanistan beyond two thousand and fourteen the agreement could also give u.s. soldiers the right to raid people's homes as well as immunity from prosecution.

another whistleblowers facing a lot of heat including a wave of death threats but what did she discover some sort of dark secret cia plans or some other plot for a new war of luxury no she exposed something far more dangerous and important to the zombies on their couches the university of north carolina athletes are mentally unfit for college and even high school mary willing come blew the whistle on the fact that between eight and ten percent of the school's football and basketball players read a fourth grade level and many others are sub college level she also claims that these students were allowed into the university based on the screening process done by the university i.e. implying that the use of n.c. knew exactly who they were letting into the university remember college football

makes a lot of money i always had a feeling that something like this was going on i mean according to usa today many college athletes claim that during the season they put in more than double the amount of hours on sports that they are allowed that's fifty to sixty hours a week how can they possibly learn anything maybe it isn't so sad that this goes on it is a reflection of economics what is sad is that the whistleblower is getting death threats just for saying that it is going on by those stupid hardcore fans but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome dates on today's show. we listen to some pretty cool chuen. russia gets caught up in the next industrial revolution. miracle materials make for medical marvels. and we hold our very own my tea party. but first into these fast paced world the race is on to get more done in less time but the old saying more haste less speed was the be truer than on the road to the world's megacities where crippling congestion slows progress to a snail's pace so perhaps a dose of high tech decongestion will help cities breathe easier. second when.
