6:10 pm
ok thank you rick i was able to see. these are the scenes playing out across western ukraine one by one thirteen region so far have been overcome by protest right 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 cellphone 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. this wave
6:11 pm
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 don 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
6:12 pm
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 two weeks must be described as quite possible because government wouldn't have enough forces so ukraine will be split it probably in two parts. we have two different times on thursday the opposition declared a truce with the guy. verman 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 oxy reporting from keefe in ukraine well it seems that police officers have increasingly become victims of the rioters and not only during their standoff on the streets several policemen claimed that they were kidnapped and tortured by protesters and then released. today to those who would serve my head and bound my
6:13 pm
legs with musk tape and taped up my eyes as well the little kid in the. well of the yes we were attacked by a group of masked wearing youngsters they surrounded us screaming the cops terrorists hands up whatever they take everything from us our wallets ourselves phones everything when the we had done nothing to them because we were just coming out of a cafe after lunch with the mob surrounded. so how are the ukrainian special police fairing when it comes to trying to maintain order in this a chaotic and violent situation retired commander city heal from l a's a sheriff's department to 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 than i think you could expect in most places now and still use the use of the ball all cocked else but throwing rocks and bottles and striking him
6:14 pm
with. would all be considered lethal force in the united states piers you know. that's a lethal situation in the united states you could very quickly be shot with lethal force with all the first of all the dragging of the police officer and then quietly while you can now could be very easily result in some type of forced. meanwhile a protester has died in hospital in kiev after three days in intensive care bringing the total number killed in this week's riots to three earlier r t you spoke with professor bruno dress from the paris based national institute of eastern civilisations he thinks the more radical elements in the protest movement could end up derailing the possibility of constructive talks between the government and the opposition more radical elements were used to make detention more and more acute now. there is
6:15 pm
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. will happen in the old western ukraine. only because they are also their base our dear so. we really see but i doubt it will be easy. to bring back some of the. well here is a map of central kiev and you can see the heart of the protest movement has been an independence square actually right down here otherwise called may done where the opposition has set up barricades and camps the riots have moved this week to a long street nearby of a street. it's the scene of most of the violent clashes international relations expert mikhail cut off from the st thomas university told us that it will be hard
6:16 pm
to contain these riots because some of the more radical groups that have joined in . i'm quite skeptical that these riots real be real be dealt with effectively in the near future or they will continue for some time there are national is there a. neo nazi. representative of the so-called right sector group we combine school begins and and you know nazi and the right is from all sides east and west and all sides of political spectrum therefore i don't think that everyone will follow of the call of a physician leaders to put a peaceful resolution of these of these conflicts some of these youth. will burn for the violence and they will continue for some time. this is our two international more news ahead after this break.
6:17 pm
with the economic downturn the find a long. night and the rest i take it will be if we. want to know your. face i think you know the.

6:20 pm
these bomb blasts what we're seeing here is a very divided egypt and it's becoming increasingly split which is really a 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 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 science of the bomb blast which ripped open the facade of egypt's main police headquarters in cairo the people here like many in government the main the mission by the heads and say this intervention attack on the states on the ousted islamist president mohamed 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
6:21 pm
leave their homes but most are more determined than ever to go to the streets against the brotherhood for the revolution and a bird. 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 who 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 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 try civilians in military courts we are a war came together to oust and to crackdown this kind of regime. told the the illegitimate power from the legitimate. president elected government
6:22 pm
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 cairo. the syrian government had opposition tackled the issue of getting humanitarian aid to the war torn country as they held two rounds of face to face talks in geneva the negotiations were mediated by 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 artie's you've got a piece going off is in geneva following the latest developments. mean achievement of saturday's talks in geneva is that the syrian authorities and the opposition or sitting in the same room facing each other and negotiating u.n.
6:23 pm
special envoy on syria lakhdar brahimi was there as well mediating these stop. 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 law garber he me 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 sides have now agreed to start discussing prisoners and kidnappings on sunday possibly even allowing humanitarian aid into syria there are also talks about cease fires but no agreements have been reached as well but what the main problem that we've witnessed here during a few days is that even though the rebels say that the only political solution
6:24 pm
to this whole problem based on the geneva one agreement understand these agreements is completely different they're completely on the same page 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 in fact they say the only way he could step down if the people decide so in a nationwide election 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 peace of the diplomatic process which matters but really the direction in which all of this is going. to take a swing around the globe to look at some other stories making headlines this hour philippines a government officials have met in malaysia with muslim rebels to finalize a peace deal to end the conflict in the nation south insurgency has been going on

6:26 pm
a kiev convention center where a special force is barricaded live shots from downtown kiev there this siege began right after opposition leaders in ukraine rejected a series of proposals by president on a covert ch they neither accepted nor rejected his offer of top government posts for opposition leaders and then reiterated their demands they want the president to step down and hold new elections this year that is despite making a series of concessions over the past couple of days including saturday's bombshell decision to revise the constitution which could limit his powers on a cold which has also promised amnesty to antigovernment rioters on the condition that they leave occupied a regional administration buildings however crowds are seemingly showing no signs of stopping the riots so stay with r.t. and visit r t dot com as well for the latest on what's happening i.
6:27 pm
report is coming up in just a few minutes right here on r t international stay with us. he's values are maybe also reflect massive surveillance operation that is going on when we're talking about defending against terrorism which ultimately i think is it's where it is a catch twenty two right because you don't want to take a program away that is saving people and creating a safe environment but at the same time you know i truly believe that we all have a right to freedom i believe we should be surveilled etc. to china for example growing exactly the way the west screwed it quitting most
6:28 pm
credit in the system they creating more debt in the system the rich are getting richer and the poor poor eight hundred million people live a little less than fifteen dollars a day in china and that doesn't seem to be changing it's the number one problem the chinese government has right now you know it seems to me that what the rich have done is that you know they made themselves so comfortable but in the process of destroying the entire process of where they got their wealth from in the first place the government stood me to look at people's will for the derby to worry about these sort of generational dynasties that we created today i think if you were a billionaire as i say this is a real danger to society that these people were going to be sort of like sitting there at the top of the little bit false majority want to.
6:29 pm
welcome the kaiser report i max keiser 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 this sharing economy satisfies the fundamental yearning of humanity to be in a community. yes go ahead and barf for the reality is every year since the creation of the world economic forum's inequality has grown real incomes of the client and financial crimes redistributed more wealth and now on a bad acid trip my all. out well now would do very well up there at the davus form
6:30 pm
and you know it was created in one thousand seventy one it was called then european management forum already started and it didn't rename itself until one thousand nine hundred seventy one it calls itself the world economic forum but you know the eighty's where of course the time at the beginning of this whole financialization of the world and it became more of a banker is hanging out and bankers hanging out with politicians so i want to look at the world they've created because you know a lot of people say they're out 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 tore away from the blue line the bottom ninety percent where they were rising all together for the first fifty years of that chart.
