tasker's and he have kidnapped three policemen one is reportedly released with a stab one as officials demand the immediate release of the other two officers. the ball the ball and highbrow social gathering of europe's baryon lead triggers anger among fountains in vienna. and third anniversary of egypt's revolution is marred by a series of deadly blasts in cairo with an al qaeda inspired group warning of more violence to come. it is four pm in the russian capital you're watching r.t.

international with me marina joshie anti-government riders in ukraine's capital are holding two policemen hostage three officers were reportedly attacked and captured but one was later released with injuries let's cross live now to our correspondent peter all over who is in the capital for us and bring us the latest peter so what do we know about the fate of the hostages and what's being done to freedom. well these three police officers were attacked on friday night nearby to independence square which is just behind me they were then taken captive by the riot is eventually one of those was released he is now being treated in hospital for stop words no the interior ministry of demanded their immediate release and what we're hearing from the interior ministry is they believe that they're being held in a government building that's currently occupied by riots and they're not ruling out the possibility that if they are released then riot police could attempt to storm

the building to try and free those two offices still being what they believe are being held in there now also in that building we're hearing from the authorities they believe it's being used to stockpile weapons stockpile firearms so this comes after an armed gang were arrested on friday night. here in kiev they were in possession of numerous firearms including assault rifles handguns as well as thousands and thousands of rounds of ammunition and they say that they. had been supplying weapons to the riot is so we'll be keeping a close eye on what happens here with regard to those hostages and as it develops we'll be bringing it to you live here from kiev. peter thank you so much for bringing us the very latest and thanks for keeping the fingers on the pulse of the situation and the ground in capital there things now the unrest in ukraine has spread from the capital to other parts of the country in over a dozen regions protesters have deceived and in some cases occupied local

government offices forcing several officials to resign right now in the city of churning of a crowd of around two thousand people storming the administration building and right now you're looking at live pictures from the scene well they are demanding the resignation of the local governor most of the turmoil has been seen in western ukraine but in the eastern provinces it's a different story as artie's attacks here cesky now explains. these are the scenes playing out across western ukraine one by one thirteen region so far have been overcome by protest rage 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 but on the other side there's hardly any disturbance at all if we're talking about people from south

on the east and boss they get 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 come to my business 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 aloneness 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 antagonism between the two sides of the country have great concerns which had previously seemed unthinkable that ukraine my follow yugoslavia scenario and break apart any sort of splits in the area which could happen within the next weeks beast. must be described as quite possible because government wouldn't have enough forces. probably in two parts. we have the 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 feels that the crowds are listening to anyone right now alexey version of ski reporting from kiev in ukraine now the country's leadership has said it's ready

to continue crisis talks with the opposition and has offered several concessions president bush has promised to reshuffle the government and release those arrested during riots in the capital earlier this week and while the plan has failed to appease the demonstrators in kiev officials to the east of the capital are still enjoying strong support or just fall asleep reports from the. most of the east and south of this country is supportive of the government and the president i'm here in the city of donetsk where there has been a pro-government rally happening just a short distance behind me and emotions here are running high they have been various speeches where people have been saying we support the prison gena coverage that he has been truth and justice on the inside and that they will not let him down i've been speaking to a number of people who turned out one particularly emotional woman told me that she came today because this is a fight for her children and grandchildren one of the accusations many here have

been leveling at the protestors in kids that firstly they're small in number they do not represent the country and say can be that they believe powers in the waste and the united states are actually paying people to come to the streets and voice their concerns and that the theme that i repeat to be here is that really there is a lot of support for president called which in addition to this demonstration there's some twenty cities in the east of the country that will today be holding pro-government rallies we're talking about tens of thousands of people who are expected to come to the streets now on the political level the latest word is that president coverage yesterday did agree to concessions and these include on the one hand retiring the head of the city's administration and at the same time reshuffling the cabinet but it doesn't seem as if these seemingly outward stretches of compromise are being met by the opposition now the european commissioner for in the large men stefan fuel has called on ukraine to put announce to the violence on

the heels of his visit to key of brussels and washington are blaming the government for the chaos and threatening sanctions while largely viewing the protesters as peaceful victims of a police crackdown iranian affairs analyst told us that this is exactly what the opposition wants. 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 backwards and the other 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 when issues the violence as evidenced by mr klitschko statement that we will hold until this 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 that are saying the government is responsible for this it's not it's a protesters now radical protesters in kiev are building powerful barricades despite police efforts to dismantle them our online team has all the details so has already to come for real time updates the situation the situation there. around six thousand fewer ias demonstrators swarmed into vienna in protest at an annual ball tanna by europe's leading foreign politicians holocaust survivors are among the strongest critics of the controversial event reports from austria. the enters the academic a ball courts protest and courts of the 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 our

main palace where people with perhaps 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 parties they did not have to ride on susanto crisis and along comes right or right wing extremist parties and they have very easy on this is a protest organizers say it's far right political leaders said to be holding secret meetings planning on how to build will not surge in qalqilya support but they have been uniting ahead of the. 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 rest because i think the case you'll be every week told me. oh. welcome back this is r t international live from moscow now there's been another bombing in cairo this time targeting. a police training center explosion left one person injured and there are also unconfirmed reports of a second blast in the city on saturday cairo had already suffered a series of bombings on friday killing six people dozens were hurt in the four blast which included a powerful car bomb outside a security have quarters in central cairo i'll qaeda sympathizer group admitted the

carnage and is warning civilians to stay away from police buildings the attack sparked public anger at the muslim brotherhood even though it denies any involvement their supporters turned out for rallies across into but they turned violent at least fifteen people died in clashes with police egyptian bracing for rival demonstrations as a country marks the third anniversary of the uprising arguable truth is in cairo. 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 facades of egypt's main police headquarters in cairo the people here like many in governments blame them is above the heads and say it is a vengeance hike on the state's off the ousted islamist president mohammed morsi

with anger mounting there is likely to be a harsher crackdown on the islamist group. exit the brotherhood with they are to blame for this the terrorists one 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 road 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 the population approved a new constitution that broadened the army's power as 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 kind of. explosions just to just to pick gave to get as a typical justification again it's the people and we believe that these three bombing this morning these three some blues is this morning. just one to. have morning the more massacres against their positions in the street 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. steeling themselves ahead of more violence . for cairo. now the twenty eleven revolution and almost three decades of rule by a dictator hosni mubarak after more than

a year of transitional military rule is almost back candidate mohamed morsi was elected president his government pushed through and new constitution criticized for being over influenced by sharia law a popular uprising against morsi led to him being forced down by the army a year later the military then launched a crackdown on the muslim brotherhood with thousands of supporters killed in the unrest the brotherhood was down the clarity of terror group the editor of the pan-african newswire told us that egypt's government should tackle its differences with the opposition to achieve any stability. 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 that's random 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 is potential for more conflict both in the streets as well as that the type of attacks that we saw earlier yesterday. are here tom there's some long awaited good news for anti fracking campaigners in the u.k. an oil and gas firm is scrapping plans to tap into shale deposits in picturesque southern england but not because of public protests to cancel the project find out what made a corporation give up on fracking at the site. plus the u.s. has developed so-called space cop satellites to patrol earth's orbit but it's not people they'll be policing as weeks plan line.

right from the sea. first street. and i think that you're. on a reporter's. instrument. to be in the know. syrian government officials and their main political rivals have met face to face for the first time the talks of the ongoing geneva two conference were brokerage and led by international envoy lakhdar brahimi while the opposing syrian delegations did sit at the same table they have not yet started to go sheeting directly without a mediator the opposition wants the talks to focus on the resignation of president assad which has been rejected by syrian officials the u.s.

and its allies are also calling for regime change but russia which helped set up the geneva two summit says foreign meddling is unacceptable. all those. must decide themselves what to do there is no other way to go about it it's impossible to introduce some scheme like drawing a list of who leaves and who comes in their place that is social engineering and it never ends well but if the task is simply to regime change just because some are trying to do syria could plunge into complete you know. the order must be preserved and there is no other method to do that except to maintain existing institutions. and our she's been hearing how the absence of several key syrian regional power players in geneva two means it will be hard for the conference to yield a break for 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 ceasefire 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. more of the world's news this hour right now iran the authorities say a series of bombings in the worth of the capital have killed twelve people the deadliest blast took the lives of a soldier his wife and four children as they slept destroying their house in the process other explosions happened on a busy street and an outdoor market killing six sectarian tension is running high in the country in which almost eight thousand civilians and over

a thousand security forces were killed last year. well there's been a huge month slide in argentina killing three people eight others are missing after having rain caused the river to burst its banks in the northwestern swarm big villages and roads several hundred locals had to flee as huge boulders surged towards their homes. and a former health minister in the central african republic has been brutally killed in broad daylight in the capital but gooey jos of k.o.i. was hacked to death by a machete wielding a militia man while getting out of a taxi clashes raged in the city just after a new interim president to cough is nine other people were killed as a christian gang looted demolished shops and predominantly muslim neighborhood the tit for tat sectarian violence has been ongoing since last march when muslim rebels came to power. for more staff have been

kidnapped and the egyptian embassy in the capital and is just a day after an egyptian diplomat was seized there one of the people ducked it is said to be a cultural tashi such incidents have increased in recent weeks underlining the government's failure to rein in heavily armed former rebels such he is where the subtropics meets the snow but some of the world's premier high's hockey players will need a cool had to secure a victory of the winter olympics which start in less than two weeks to bomb would say has been checking out what awaits the sport's best boids. the bolshoi the 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 it 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 name. is located by the black sea coast line and is designed to resemble a giant frozen water droplet inside the traditional bowl shaped seating offer some flair with glazed glass on the complex. to see quickly with not screens cameras and sound system so powerful spectators to be able to see every one of the puck on the ice. those with disabilities who also have easy access to the venue 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

i wanted to test the ice rink felt my feet my feet and take a shot of being a rocky play on the limb for me. now i may have ended up looking impressive enough film but i found the keeping the book is taking place across the pond while trying to balance on my stage 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 flake and it's ready for the hockey a limping games for me. i think i need a little bit more practice in the ring go on when play inside of the ball so i stay in tsotsi r.t. . of the players share with you about sochi and its one big transformation in the run up to the game so had to archie dot com for more. ok.

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 was volunteers please use it responsibly and productively but that's just my opinion.
