it will. take place. breaking news here on international ukraine's president invites two of his most outspoken opponents to lead the government and agrees to alter the constitution. itself to crisis talks with the opposition aimed at getting a wave of sweeping the nation. all this is two police officers kidnapped by rodgers in ukraine's capital have now been released both were allegedly tortured and had been taken to hospital.

this is international live from our studio center here in moscow where just ten eleven pm and nine pm in ukraine where the country's president has invited a leader of the opposition to become prime minister in a bid to quell antigovernment unrest let's get more now on this surprise turn around who is there in kiev so this appears to be momentous news coming there from the ukrainian capital tell us more peter. well the latest round of talks between the government and the opposition appears to have resulted in something of a breakthrough we've been hearing from the un a covert the president of ukraine saying that he will make changes to the constitution of the country that will see ukraine revert back to a parliamentary presidential republic you know what that means is that the

parliament will have more powers. they are following this this decision and also the news that the leader of the opposition group fatherland r c a new york will be offered the job i will has been offered the job of prime minister we're also hearing that vitale klitschko the other opposition leader of course the former world heavyweight boxing champion could. be a given the role of deputy prime minister there as well all of this coming out of these most recent talks between the two sides now the president also said that the opposition and the government the police and the opposition had agreed to clear the streets of kiev now that will be a rather long process we've seen a lot of incumbents a lot of defenses barricades and the likes being built up in a still an awful lot of people out on the streets here in fact about two hundred meters over to my left there's still ongoing clashes between riot police and riot

is fires still burning and i can actually hear just out my left large shouts kind of low loud shouts coming from just over and not direction so that's not going to be any kind of quick process of clearing the streets here now we've also heard president a covert saying that he would grant and honesty to that an amnesty would be granted to all of those he's being detained by police but that amnesty was dependent on riot is leaving government buildings that they have that they have occupied here here in kiev those rights have occupied buildings here in kiev as well as across the country and what about the reports of those two police officers who were taken hostage by raj as they've been released do you know more about that. yes well these two police officers they were part of a group of three they were attacked not too far away from where i am right now on

friday evening they were then taken captive by the attackers. one of those police officers was released on friday evening he was rushed to the hospital with stop were injuries the other two officers have now been released on saturday and they've also been taken to hospital talking about being tortured by their captors and beaten as well so they've now been released they are in hospital right now receiving treatment and we heard from the authorities here that any acts of threats of violence by rioters would be responded with force right police forces going to target and we present it and you've been there throughout these events be to just recap what has happened there for the country what we've seen running battles and standoffs with police here in kiev and that eventually spreading into the west of the country and into some. ukraine as

well now here in kiev for what we were able to see on tuesday the barricades in the other where the main flash point is which is just over say over to my left around two hundred meters away near the denominate stadium the original barricades that were being used there were burnt out police vehicles that have been taken as riot police were. severely outnumbered by the amounts of rices on the streets armed with rudimentary weapons and molotov cocktails rocks that have been being mined from the paving slabs of the the city of kiev and hill towards riot police riot police responded with rubber bullets tear gas flash bang grenades on wednesday we saw police attempt to clear out that whole area with a a large a charge from them but that really only succeeded in clearing out that area for well less than half an hour before those writers came back and they built fall more stood the barricades and when i was walking around there today we're seeing. really

a high production facility going on way in the reactions of the barricades molotov cocktails are being made. we seeing those rocks that are being dug up from the the streets here they're being put into sacks him and sent up to the front line so they can be used against police there now on this day it did seem like we're going to start to see some kind of breakthrough a truce was called as talks began between the opposition and the government however that truce well it lasted then to say it lasted for thursday but on friday the fires were really lit now these fires there are a huge tie of fire that is separating the front line between the police and rioters big thick acrid smoke there making it very difficult to see that's still burning right now and on saturday we've seen again more building of barricades reinforcing of barricades and this whole process continuing of clashes and

standoffs bitter. right. so this news coming out from the latest talks between the opposition and the government seemingly providing some kind of breakthrough in talking about trying to clear the streets of kiev both sides apparently agreeing to that it will be a long process but it does seem as if some things are moving forward in ukraine right peter thanks very much indeed for that live there in kiev now to talk more on what is happening there in the country will cross live to international relations expert. and thomas university in canada some huge concessions there from ukraine's leadership do you think this really could be the end of the unrest. but i do not expect that violence will stop immediately indeed these are significant concessions but from the point of view protesters this is. too little too late of a demand the resignation of the president and they demand sweeping changes in the

constitution and the cabinet i do not think. you'll agree to that good an encouraging sign is that he indeed talks to the position leaders and he indeed makes some decisions to keep the protesters what. is talking to the people of ukraine direct and in fact the big question is whether or not their position leaders are very present everyone who is protesting on the streets now yes you make a good point to the government and the opposition leaders have said yes they will clear the streets but do you think that means that all of the protesters but listen bearing in mind of course the nationalists the extremists amongst the opposition. therefore i'm quite skeptical of the riots we'll be deal to be dealt with effectively in the near future or they will continue for some time indeed as you mentioned nation on the. neo nazi.

president of of the so-called right sector group. called again zero and a neo nazi and the right is from all sides east and west and all sides of the political spectrum. therefore i don't think that everyone will full of the opposition leaders to of what a peaceful resolution of these of these conflicts some of these us. from the violence and they will continue for some time and we call the opposition leaders they feed off of these top jobs presumably they will take them and doing so well that now we can even more after all the presidential powers will be lessened as a result of this agreement. this is true but they don't see how else he can save their face and indeed his presidency. as you mentioned the situation in ukraine is dire and in fact there are various. civil disobedience going through

the rest of the country in the center of the country and something has to be pretty drastic i believe the president made a number of mistakes he saved. and he didn't do that he was perceived as an arrogant and therefore he needs to make these be concessions now while the e.u. and the usa condemn ukraine's government only for pushing the country into this turmoil have a in effect got what they want now but at a cost. well i knew the american or european elites. would really want to see ukraine. but what i cannot. indeed i cannot fail to observe is that the european union and the us from the very early stages of the protest movement unequivocally sided with the protesters and you supported them i done and in this case it is fair to say interfere in the

internal affairs of ukraine as a sovereign state later on the wanted to while and is minister of internal affairs as a result of the two violence. quarters comment from the worst to me again unequivocal in condemning and that was justified by all means. one still there was a peaceful process going on i think the european union was quiet. fast and sure when it sympathies to one side of the ukrainian society. in full understanding no one notices because thank you so much that really interesting to talk to be culled out of international relations expert live here and. international we appreciate. what a protester has died in hospital in kiev after three days in intensive care bringing the death toll from this week's riots to three meanwhile in over a dozen regions of the country angry mobs have besieged and in many cases occupied local government offices the city is one of the latest to fully baked into the

government hundreds of protesters stormed the local administration building with police have been unable to drive them away meanwhile the local legislature the city of the falls in which the plane is declared that it no longer recognizes ukraine's state law and that's the national parliament which is the single worst of the turmoil at the moment as r.t. like she had said he explained. i. 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 i 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 are not eager to participate in any sort of military action in the southern region over crimea authorities have had enough of a national wide uprising they are ready to disband peace and order although they seem confident they want 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 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 at the mine. 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 contests 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 strawman dragon is in between the two sides of the country have great concerns which had previously seemed unthinkable that ukraine my former yugoslavia scenario and break apart any sort of splits in the area we could happen within the next weeks must be described as quite possible because government would have on our forces will be splitted probably in two parts. we are for the two different purposes on thursday the opposition declared a truce with the government for seventy two hours but with riot you can keep 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. well earlier i spoke to professor bruno address

he's from the paris based national institute of civilisations he is skeptical about the deal between the opposition and the government and thinks it will come up against resistance from the more radical elements in the protest movement. more radical elements were used to make detention more and more acute and no. there is a compromise on that and a higher level of bugs you know you can do the same time i doubt that the extremist movement. agreed to go back home and dogs problems that would happen in kiev and the only western. only because their own so their bases are there so. i've got to really see but i don't want to get to meet you know to bring back stuff. well here we have

a map of central kiev and the heart of the protest movement is now over on independence square known as my dad and where the opposition has been camped out now the fiercest clashes broke out earlier this week on a nearby street this very long street here now most abode of the senior international relations electorate moscow state university says the more liberal opposition leaders have no control over the situation. is this a genuine offer on the part of yannick over which or is he calculating that yes and political will turn this offer down there is more than just the opinion of the opposition leaders to take him down here because there is also a certain opposition leader only john a bloc of the neo nazi leader of the swoboda party and i don't think at this point dad the opposition leader is these liberal opposition leaders have shown that they actually have control of the situation or of the protesters the telly klitschko

being sprayed by a fire extinguisher the other day when he attempted to calm down the crowds there any attempt to attack the police lines was a clear indication of this. international live in moscow more news for you just ahead. brace. the world economic forum was created in nineteen seventy one and for over a forty years the dirtiest scuzzy has names in 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.

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 plaque 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 of 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. nomics what is sad is that the whistleblower is getting death threats just for saying that it is going on by those stupid hard core fans but that's just my opinion. maybe also reflects massive surveillance operation that is going on when we're talking about defending against terrorism which ultimately i think is it's where is a catch twenty two right because you don't want to take a program away that is saving people and creating a safer environment but the same time you know i truly believe that we all have a right to enter the freedom i believe we should be surveilled except for a. welcome

of the kaiser report imax kaiser the world economic forum was created in nineteen seventy one and for over a forty years the dirtiest scuzzy names and business banking and politics have met and davos switzerland and eight years 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 the 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 meet to give their elite opinion about how we should save the world but if you look at this chart from charles who smith is the 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 thousand nine hundred eighty two and it just.
