horrors of the war. dozens are killed in street violence and a wave of deadly bombings in egypt as a colorado is nation reaches the third anniversary of its revolution meanwhile the interim leader says the country's next step will be a presidential election. what you want international coming to live from moscow with me marina joshie ukraine's security forces say two policemen were injured last night after angry crowd storm caves convention center with about two hundred officers inside they were later allowed to leave and the siege came despite the president's offer to change the constitution and give a prime minister's job to one of the opposition leaders but that wasn't enough and they are demanding further concessions as peter all of our reports. the opposition

said they couldn't accept those concessions but they were willing to negotiate further they put forward what they wanted in speeches from the main stage in independence square here just behind me they want to continue negotiations they want elections this year they want a new government and a total amnesty without any conditions for anybody who has being detained in fatality klitschko speaking from the stage just behind me said no way would anybody be clearing the streets right now he said that they'd come here they would stay here until they finish what they started well after those speeches that set off a large crowd of people marching towards that conference center a large group of writers laid siege to that building and we saw dramatic images coming out from not seen. there was molotov cocktails being thrown bricks thrown through windows even burning tires and. and fireworks hold in there as writers try

to get into that building and towards a group of police who were who were stationed there after a standoff lasting a little while we saw the interior ministry give orders to their riot police to to pull out of that building now also one of the opposition leaders former heavyweight champion vitaly klitschko was on the scene as well trying to negotiate a deal that would allow those right police to leave that building safely what we're seeing here in kiev right now is a large group of people surrounding a conference hall just over to my left from where i am here on independence square basically a standoff still going on the opposition saying that they're willing to negotiate but they have knocked back those concessions that were put forward by the government. while these pictures show the weapons allegedly used by hardline protesters in kiev assault rifles pistols and hundreds of rounds of live ammunition were seized by police they arrested an armed gang thought to be involved in

a violent clashes in ukraine's capital authorities claim it was supplying arms to rioters police say three security personnel were attacked by radical protesters earlier this week one of them was wounded two others taken hostages allegedly tortured and later released all three are now being treated in hospital publicly towards riffle a head and bound my legs with muskie tape and taped to my knees as well he did not view it most of the care yes ones were attacked by a group of masked wearing youngsters they surrounded us green of the cops nearest hamzawy because of the take everything from us our wallets ourselves along with everything when them to throw in there we had done nothing to them we were just coming out of a cafe after lunch with the mob surrounded. the actions of the riot police in kiev throughout this turbulent week sparking much concern we asked a retired commander from the los angeles sheriff's department what he thinks about

their tactics and how american security forces would have handled a similar situation from what i've seen on the video so although showing a lot more restraint then i think you could expect in most places nine states the use of the ball all cocked tells of the throwing rocks and bottles and striking him with holmes 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 the football madness the grabbing of the police officer and then quietly while you can now could be very easily result in some type but we are forced. now the unrest has been spreading from the capital to other cities across ukraine targeting the regional center and these pictures are from the city of turning of where a crowd of around two thousand stormed the local administration buildings similar events are happening across half of the country with local governments either being

stormed or have already been taken over by protesters and as the authorities lose control western governments are urging them to secure democracy and ice here cesky looks at how the investors unfolding. those young people in the streets of ukraine by seizing temperatures are writing the new go to for europe. ever since the first rocks and molotov cocktails were hurled at the police in kiev my sunday if issues in europe and the united states have started up fresh wave of accusations aimed at the actions of the authorities against what they called peaceful protesters the album from their will but you know some of the here will we expect from the ukrainian government then the should democratic freedom in particular they put unity for peaceful demonstrations then they protect life and they do usually violence does not take place. but people beating police on the ground from body aligns with exploded project tiles and even taking them hostage

can hardly be classified as peaceful even pictures of rioters carrying far arms are surfacing i'm quite skeptical that these riots will be. dealt with effectively in the near future that they will continue for some time nation on this. neo nazi. but it isn't a bit of a so-called right sector group we combine school began zend neo 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 full. of positionally interest of what a peaceful resolution of these of these conflicts some of these deals held down from the violence and they will continue for some time over the past two months their you know my down has changed in form and meaning what started as a peaceful protest brought asked has turned into a display of violence on both sides it has now grown in size to with almost half of

the country's regional administration stake in over spawning serious concerns the country could fall apart any sort of splits in the area which could happen within. next 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 have two different that is the opposition is still working horns with those in power trying to get a better deal with the president the protesters storming a police base and doing the people who are acting as their leaders suggest they no longer want to listen to anyone and care little about eighty agreed truth. reporting from kiev in ukraine. while ukraine's capital on western regions are rocked by anti-government riots the east of the country remains supportive of the current leadership people there are getting increasingly worried by the end rest fearing that the protestors could be pulling

a crane in the wrong direction as policy or has been finding out the industrial heart of the ukraine is a place where the majority has been silent until now divided pictures from kiev are spurring people here into action but not in support of the anti-government riot has no but the most of us not the other i cannot see to knowing when there are such things happening in ukraine the protests in kiev a horrible we are brothers we are all ukrainians in the east and south of the country support for president general coffee which is high while tolerance for why it is low these demonstrators blame opposition parties for using hot headed students to destabilize the country years young people are like zombies they get information from the internet and this information is only one side the usa in the west are paying for this information to be put out of the book gregory greene is a correspondent with the local newspaper he once order and for as long as the

government provides it he says he'll supporters who are buying up much or the message of the protesters regularly changes or their main idea in the beginning was to join the european union the next week and it was political change and they wanted the president to go. now i think even the protesters cannot see why they're demonstrating unlike the demonstrators in kiev most of the more than four million people who live in the country's most populous region don't believe ukraine's future lies in europe losing or for. russian market is of course the order in this region so that is the main reason why the. people. don't. want to. the european association protests just complain the kids rioters on wasting time on the streets while it's the country's east that keeps the economy alive and if you crane was to join europe now its factories would be turned into scrap people here in a vision

a different future to the antigovernment protests what they want is a quick into the demonstration and a deal to join the russian customs union this they say will give them the stability and security that the key of protests are threatening to unravel policia r.t. donetsk ukraine. ukraine's hands ministry has ruled out deploying the armed forces against the protesters in more detail than that at r.t. dot com as well as following our minute by minute updates of what's happening in the country. and we take to the salt she slopes in just a few minutes here and here the national practice. we've made is on the same length and i'm still intact nobody is broken and i can tell you this it is absolutely magical out yeah. we sent

whether to go to switzerland or not and when they finally did arrive i think that i said is the problem and i said i don't have a problem old any solution without i said going our separate go it became clear both sides had a completely different understanding of the talks goals the rebels pressed for assad to step down officials seem to be ready to talk about almost anything except the president's future but at least outside players agreed this is strictly up to the syrians to decide. the seriousness of themselves had the primary responsibility to end the country determine their particular system and future and start the bidding their country but one world powers left and direct talks were supposed to begin the opposition refused to sit down at the same table with the other side we came here to talk and they are not ready finally when it seemed the negotiations were completely bust special envoy to syria lakhdar brahimi announced he did manage

to get both sides to meet and so they finally did negotiating through him but still in the same room and face to face prisoners and kidnappings humanitarian aid and localized ceasefires were the first issues on the table with more pressing topics awaiting discussion despite all the emotions accusations and preconditions were heard this week these talks are the first real chance for a diplomatic solution in syria and after nearly three years of bloodshed and ongoing violence it will be a bumpy road and there is a long way to go but the first steps in the right direction have definitely been made if you go it is going off r.t. geneva switzerland while the diplomats try and rush out their differences in geneva syria itself is still succumbing to ever more lives being lost by the hour but even amend their rapid pace of killing there is help for some as the reports from damascus. even in this dangerously divided country one

place the differences don't matter is this children's hospital in damascus. a tiny relative of a government minister chose a room here with babies belonging to fighters of the free syrian army. who have patients from all over syria including areas held by the rebels because this is the only hospital of its kind in the country where babies born think can be treated and we treat them all the same they're all syrian children after all we all belong to one country and have to learn how to live together again. in three years of conflict neither men or women or children were spared according to the un more than one hundred thousand people have died in fact the number is so high they've officially stopped counting. the anger and pain on both sides can't be measured. but still it's peace that people want more than giving an idea who is married to

a syrian government soldier has just fallen pregnant and the tough lives this is a beacon of hope this kidman salata mean my husband it's a connection between us while we are away from each other which is often for me this baby means life itself i live through this baby. comes one and a half year old daughter was born during the fear wrist attack damascus has ever seen she says her fight has nothing to do with her. i don't want a thing that war means there and we have to leave and we have to fight for peace and life we can't give up now. it's a side of war that not many think about in the midst of violence and devastation babies are still being born in their thousands new parents who run away from atrocities in their hometowns often end up in camps which like the basics of sanitation is security. but was death all around their chosen life

anniversary of the twenty eleven uprising security forces used tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters in several areas of cairo while on to her ears where thousands rallied in support of the military also this week a wave of deadly bombings shook the capital claiming six lives and inspired militants claimed responsibility but the authorities are placing the blame on the muslim brotherhood the attacks highlighted the threat of it is the most insurgency taking root in shit cairo based journalist mohammed sabri says both the muslim brotherhood and the army are to blame for the situation. what's happening is we have we have a major ground for the pro-government media inciting violence against anyone who's not in doing so because it's easy we have the muslim brotherhood who are definitely guilty for a lot of things that you have they have done or not they have done throughout the year in power the keep talking of conspiracy theories they keep blaming the

government for as they did those bombings in the it's the portman's which is absolutely long since but of this is. the opposite the opposite side which is the regime and the regime loyalists in the programs you need you know what protestors are not peaceful themselves or as hostile as the muslim brotherhood is what what should be stopped now and what the government should be working tirelessly to stop is 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 and a look now at some other stories from around the world one of the main leaders of thailand's government protests has been shot dead he was reportedly gunned down while addressing a crowd and died leaving hospital violence comes as demonstrators try to disrupt the general election they swarmed polling station there early on sunday to prevent advanced voting from taking place. with riots have swept through brazil's largest

welcome to ventura county with me katie program as you can probably tell from behind me the gorgeous mountains we are indeed made switzerland this week for the devils the world economic forum now for the last four days the world's most privileged money movers they've been promising and pledging says with the case that doubles mazie is no policies in place would have the british prime minister david cameron talking about reshowing jobs back to britain iran's leader has some rouhani worry investors for a post sanction era out of it tinseltown too with goldie hawn teaching us all about the importance of meditation in amongst these things we had surveillance global warming the most is of the universe in between the smoke kind of payson go to champagne they want to focus on the global financial recovery seem to take

a bit of a backseat they should often get me but we're not exactly in a booming economy just now so this is a sense of complacency coming into this when i spoke to the head of the o.e.c.d. and i asked him what concerns him the most complacency the fact that people feel comfortable that they have lost the future that they have lost the sense of urgency and the defeat we're out of the woods we're not out of the woods growth is very slow on a problem it is historically high. inequalities are growing there's a great loss of trust in everything that we have built in a hundred years in all our institutions so we're not out of the woods good to cross is not over show let's continue to work hard don't feel complacent now one thing that runs through the double sporran was income inequality and the dangers that can come from it the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

doubles as the highest part of europe and it's a place where the global elite come here to discuss how to enrich themselves and of course improve the lives of the ninety nine percent that live down in our dollars house tried to raise our image this year of the hierarchy system by introducing the topic of income inequality which the forums have was the biggest threat to the global economy right now but you know when you got eight c. billionaires in attendance it's quite difficult to take that one seriously as a certain element of irony to that and according to the latest reports half of the world's poorest population that is three and a half billion people now have the same amount of well as the eighty five richest people added to that the one percent richest now have an accumulated wealth of one hundred ten trillion dollars that's sixty five percent more than the world or

from up here is difficult to imagine how those people will become a priority for the people of double well we are all equal in the eyes of god no matter how many millions or billions that we might have to weigh in the bank at this time of year the whole of gets involved in the financial for even the church itself year after year a columnist some politicians would come here crying for a solution to the financial crisis. no i caught up with the nobel prize. when a economist robert on the problem here's what he had to say there should be a recognition that we need some inequality because people won't work if if they think their income doesn't depend on it and i think it's ok to have billionaires actually for people who invent a new computer system people don't really begrudge them.
