rioters and not only during their standoff on the streets several policemen claim that they were kidnapped and tortured by protesters and then released. i'm guilty towards the roof of my head and bound my legs with tape and taped up my knees as well he. was privy to more of the yes ones were attacked by a group of masked youngsters they surrounded the screen of the cops a terrorist hands on top of each take everything from us our wallets ourselves along with everything when them to throw in there we had nothing to them because we were just coming out of a cafe after lunch with the mob surrounded. how are the ukrainian special police fairing and when it comes to trying to maintain order in this chaotic and violent situation retired commander city heal from sheriff department told us that police in the us would have reacted much harsher in the same type of scenario from what i've seen on the video so although showing

a lot more restraint then i think you could expect in most places and i'd still use the he was the ball of octane olds throwing rocks and bottles and striking him with all those would all be considered lethal force in the united states you know that's a lethal situation in the united states you could very quickly be shot with lethal force with all of. the dragging of the police officer and quote we can while you can now could be very easily result in some type of course. numerous local government buildings have been besieged by the protesters in different parts of ukraine the city of it will evolve and much of the rest of the western ukraine are seeing the worst of the turmoil however that is not necessarily the case in other parts of the country as artie's alexy 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. 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 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 to have to because of 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 roadblocks 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 on 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 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

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 rush up ski oxy reporting from kiev in ukraine. a protester has died in the hospital in kiev after three days in intensive care bringing the total number killed in this week's riots to three earlier r.t. spoke with professor bruno dressy from the paris based national institute of eastern civilizations he thinks the more radical elements in the protest movement could end up with the railing the possibility of constructive talks between the government and the opposition. more radical elements were used to make detention more and more acute no. there is

a compromise on that and a higher level of bugs you know you can do the same time i doubt the extremist movement will agree to go back home and dogs problem that will happen in p.d.f. and in the old western news crew. because they're also their babies our dear so does god so we really see but i doubt it will be easy if you want to bring back steve. alright and as promised we are going to cross the live to our t's peter all over now just a little bit of a warning there is a delay in the satellite feed so if you hear of a bit of a break in that is a part of the technical difficulties that we have to work with in these tense situations so peter tell us about what's going on in kiev right now in the aftermath the opposition is refusing to deal with the president what's going on.

well you see here is just well they just say very well it was the biggest clashes between. police used to be over that way just behind it with the cameras right now though with the first. two that we have whereby this is the ukrainian house here well it's also being used. by the right police they are there out of one hundred or so right police the police to be in there that's the sort of the scene. each now by raia tuesday's broken windows this was around several hundred also people then. maybe as many as five hundred monks a month now they're throwing f.i.o.s.

into the windows they trying to get into that building to get through it to sprite police although this is a similar type you see as we have seen in other cities across ukraine with by we've seen a government buildings official buildings and buildings with riot police to be station stormed by a riot is. i don't see any response to a fall from what from the police inside but we have seen many fireworks many firecrackers and everything that they can get their hands on basically as well as the rocks that they have plenty old filled through the windows as people try to break their way through the doors now all of this came off to. this speeches on independence square earlier on where the the opposition said that they. think that they only said that they didn't say that they would accept the office for all the on the colbert show that they they think they didn't check that out

right now what we did see is. ossie i.c.b. yes the new york who is one of deceit is over the the opposition groups he's the leader of the group called follow the law and he was offered the position. of prime minister the great it does seem that he may well accept that position also amongst the opposition leaders looking to you to move into the government following these talks between government and opposition is the former world heavyweight champion vitali klitschko he could well take over as the deputy. as the deputy prime minister know all of this to see what is some stuff that's supposed to be sorted out in the next week we are expecting to see a special session of parliament this. well he had next week it all comes off to statements of victory on a covert your which he said he won't succeed make changes to the constitution these changes would give a pall of athol would limit the power of the president however it does seem to be

a lot of elements in amongst the opposition in amongst these riots is that all willing to take policy in these negotiations i spoke to people earlier all that said well it's all well and good that it's the opposition leaders to say these things but they don't speak that everybody can feed all the fire kate see if. they told the barricades elsewhere across ukraine and not what we're seeing now is groups. they say each to you if you create a house there as this develops of course and bring you all the way to stay at all i'll say all right artie's peter oliver in ukraine keeping across the situation as it is rapidly developing ever changing of course our teams are going to keep you up to date as more information becomes available more news ahead after a short break you're watching our team international.

and welcome back you're watching r.t. international egypt's anniversary of the two thousand and eleven uprising has been marred by deadly violence at least twenty nine people have been killed in clashes across the country police descended on the protesters firing tear gas and shooting bullets in the air this comes despite of the interior minister's promise to provide security we underestimate just a day after a series of deadly blasts hit cairo leaving at least six people dead and another one hundred injured are true reports from the rest of city. another car bomb has exploded the police building this time in the key city of suez this is the

sixth such explosion has taken place in two days we had four bomb blasts in cairo inside day and this morning at six is one cannot simulate a bomb blast in the east in the suburb of cairo and this comes of course on the anniversary of the generosity five edition which ousted president barak and there have been rival protest groups that have taken to the streets across the country it's been seen as a violence security forces are essentially not allowing any ounce of government groups to gather in the streets where the islamist support is that i was the president mohamed morsi over the secular activists has been heavily contrast it with what's going on in tahrir square which supports forces chief general abdel fatah sisi has come out in droves today holding images of him they say they want him to be president to crack down even harder on the islamist groups like the missing brotherhood and they blame to these bomb blasts what we're seeing here is a very divided egypt and it's becoming increasingly split which is really been

exacerbated by these bomb blasts now i was at the size of the explosions yesterday and i made this reports three years on from the two thousand and eleven revolution egypt was supposed to be celebrating instead the. adly 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 morsi 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 government blame the mission by the heads and say this event attack on the state after they ousted islamist 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 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 broaden the army's power as it shields a military budget from cuts gives the armed forces the right to approve defense ministers and try civilians in military courts we are warping together to oust and to crackdown on this kind of regime. who was told the illegitimate power from the legitimate. residence and elected government 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 me. violence. cairo. the two thousand and eleven revolution brought an end to the hosni mubarak's three decades in power after more than a year of transitional military rule the islamist backed candidate mohamed morsi was elected president his government pushed through a new constitution criticized for being overly influenced by sharia law a popular uprising against morsi led to him being forced out by the army a year later then the military launched a crackdown on the muslim brotherhood with thousands of supporters killed in the unrest the group was then declared a terrorist movement cairo based journalist mohamed sabri says the brotherhood is responsible for much of the turmoil the keep talking of conspiracy theories the key

bill and blaming the government for staging those bombings it's the corpulent which is absolutely nonsense but of the same time opposite the opposite side which is the regime and the regime loyalists them to produce what protestors are not peaceful themselves and are as hostile as the muslim brotherhood is what what should be stopped now and what the government should be working tirelessly to stop inciting violence you know why didn't those gaps between sectors of the community and moving the country forward towards a phase of civil strife the syrian government and opposition tackled the issue of getting humanitarian aid into the war torn country as they held two rounds of face to face talks in geneva the negotiations were mediated by a u.n. envoy lakhdar brahimi who said they were moving forward only in half steps as the situation remains extremely complicated talks are expected to resume on sunday or

does he go to peace going off is in geneva following the latest developments. i mean achievement of saturday's talks in geneva is that the syrian authorities and the opposition are sitting in the same room facing each other and negotiating u.n. special envoy on syria lakhdar brahimi was there as well mediating these talks but given the fact that just earlier on friday the rebels said they were not going to sit down at the same table with the authorities having them talking in this format is already quite a diplomatic achievement. who is the key mediator of these negotiations has been conducting quite a careful slow sensitive diplomatic tactic taking the whole process slowly step by step for instance. have now agreed to start discussing prisoners and kidnappings on sunday possibly even allowing humanitarian aid into syria there are also talks about a localized fires but no agreements have been reached as well but the main problem

that we've witnessed here during these few days is that even though the rebel say. political solution to this whole problem based on the geneva one agreements the way the understand these agreements is completely different they're completely and not on the same piece the rebels say they want to talk about forming a transitional government without president assad in it while the authorities seem to be ready to talk about almost anything except for president assad's future in fact they say the only way he could step down if the people decided so in the nationwide election but really like i said after three years still ongoing violence and bloodshed even having them in the same room facing each other is already quite of progress right now it's not perhaps the piece of the diplomatic process which matters but really the direction in which all of this is going. take

productively but that's just my opinion. hello and welcome to technology updates on today's show. show. we listen some pretty cool chuen. russia gets caught up in the next industrial revolution. miracle materials make the 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 with the old saying more haste less speed was never true 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. moskos traffic jams are legendary in fact the capital was awarded the jew title of the world's most congested city last year by g.p.s. make it tom tom with the average muscovite driver spending over five full days a year sticking to tail bikes which altogether can stretch of to two thousand kilometers. high tech gadgets like the head up display for mercedes show collision and lane departure warnings making for a safer driver reducing accidents and helping keep the city moving while certainly

an improvement over traditional dashboards they do still require the driver to focus on the windscreen leaving the rest of the road a blur once again skolkovo lived up to its reputation. this contraption in the foyer may look like an arcade machine but under the bonnet it has more uses than just entertaining visitors the way ray navigation system puts mentored reality into the driving seat by projecting the route onto the road ahead so the driver's eyes are kept firmly focused on the road this simulation of the device also display speed fuel and ref count information rendering car does boards a thing of the past as well as helping drivers get about town or number gates treacherous cliffs holding roads the finished product will display up to date traffic information and can be installed in any existing vehicle. where it is now on the drawing board and in development but the simulator is far from redundant.
