horrors of war. and dozens killed in street violence and a deadly wave of bombings in egypt as the polarized nation reaches the third anniversary of its revolution while the interim leader says the country's next presidential election. eight pm in moscow i met très a very good to have you with us our top story this hour ukraine security forces say two policemen were injured last night after angry crowd storm kiev's convention center with about two hundred officers inside they were later allowed to leave the siege came despite the president's offer to change the constitution and give the prime minister's job to one of the opposition leaders that wasn't enough though and they're demanding further concessions as artie's peter all of our reports from kiev . 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 no lections this year they want a government and a total amnesty without any conditions for anybody who has being detained in fatality klitschko speaking from the stage said there's 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 the ted conference center a large people right as they see that building thank god there was molotov cocktails being thrown bricks thrown into windows even burning tires and. and fireworks hold in there as writers tried to get into that building and towards a group of police station there that is thinking of

a standoff lasting a little while we saw the ministry give the orders to the 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 the building safely but 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. these pictures showing the weapons allegedly used by hardline protesters in kiev assault rifles pistols and hundreds of rounds of live ammo seized by police they arrested an armed gang thought to be involved in violent clashes in ukraine's capital authorities claim it was supplying arms to the rioters

police say three security personnel were attacked by radical protesters earlier this week one of them wounded two others taken hostage allegedly tortured and later released all three now being treated in the hospital. completely to his will to head and bound my legs with muskie tape and tape that minds as well he then this pivotal moment yes ones were attacked by a group of masked youngsters they surrounded us the screen of the cops a terrorist could have a seat take everything from us or wallet sources of them with anything. in them to throw in there we had nothing to them because we were just coming out of a cafe after lunch with the mobs around the house can move through with the actions of riot police in care throughout this turbulent week sparked much concern we asked a retired commander from the l.a. sheriff's department what he thinks about their tactics and how his men might have had all the 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 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 then quietly while you can now could be very easily result in some type of we were forced. yeah an arrest has been spreading from the capital to other cities across ukraine targeting regional centers these pictures from the city of china gov where a crowd of around two thousand storm the local ministration building similar events happening across half the country with local governments either being stormed or already being taken over by protesters so as authorities lose control western governments are urging them to secure democracy or he looks airshows he looks at how the unrest is unfolding. those young people in the streets of ukraine by

seizing temperatures are writing the new down at the for europe. ever since the first rocks and molotov cocktails were hurled at the police in kiev my sunday officials in europe and the united states have started a pressure wave of accusations aimed at the actions of your origins against what they called peaceful protesters. thank you thank you you have all been fun though but you know some of the good will we expect from the ukrainian government then the sure democratic freedom in particular the opportunity for peaceful demonstrations then they protect life and that the use of violence does not take place. but people beating police on the ground bombarding the lines with explosive 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 but a nation of. neo nazi. therefore i don't think that everyone will follow the opposition leader as tool of what a peaceful resolution of these of these conflicts some of these deals. held down on the islands and they will continue for some time. that i was. over the past two months there you know my down has changed in form and meaning what started as a peaceful protest broadcast 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 we could happen within the next two weeks must be described as quite possible because given. what they

have on our forces will be split it probably in two parts. with the two different causes 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 booing the people who are acting as their leaders suggest they no longer want to listen to anyone and care little about any agreed truth lexy russia r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine while ukraine's capital and western regions iraq by anti-government riots the east of the country remains supportive of the current leadership people there are getting increasingly worried by the an arrest fearing protesters could be pulling ukraine in the wrong direction as artie's policy reports 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

not but the most of those i cannot see to go in when there are such things happening in ukraine the protests in kiev horrible we are brothers we're all ukrainians in the east and south of the country support for president jenna cause which is high tolerance for why it is low these demonstrators blame opposition parties for using hot headed students to destabilize the country. young people are like zombies to 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. quickly greene is a correspondent with the local newspaper he wants order and for as long as the government provides it he says he'll supporters will open up and actually the message of the protesters regularly changes 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 say 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. losing off. russian market is of course the order this weekend so that is the main reason why. people. don't. want to. be an association protesters complain the kiev white his own 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 tuned into scrap people here in 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.

thirteen minutes past the hour a syrian government officials and their main political rivals are discussing prisoner release terms during their second day of face to face talks at the geneva two conference saturday they edge closer towards negotiating the delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged city of homs but the toughest discussions at the summit are still to come as r.t.c. group is going to reports they face one another lets talk to one another a format simply impossible to imagine even at the beginning of the week just twenty four hours before the start of the conference the opposition couldn't decide whether to go to switzerland or not and when they finally did arrive i think that is the problem and i said i don't think the problem old any solution without i said going stepping down it became clear both sides had a completely different understanding of the talks goals the rebels pressed for

assad to step down officials seemed 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 special envoy to syria lakhdar brahimi announced he did manage to get both sides to meet and so they finally did they go shooting through him with still in the same room and face to face prisoners and kidnappings humanitarian aid and localized cease fires 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 you got this going off r.t. geneva switzerland while. there are differences in geneva syria itself still succumbing to ever more lives being lost to our early but even amid the rapid pace of killing there is hope for assad as artie's marie of an ocean 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 whose babies belong to fighters of the free syrian army. who have patients from all over syria including areas how to buy 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 all 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 me my husband it's a connection between us while we are away from a child there which is often for me this baby means life itself i live through this baby. comes one and

capital statements. according to a new oxfam report the rich are getting richer at an alarming pace middle classes all over the world are under pressure and the poor well are only getting poorer with growing income inequality how can we expect democratic institutions to survive not to speak of maintaining social tranquility is it time to start broadly sharing prosperity. we cannot accept to live under those one of them forever we cannot allow the business a while seeing it is going to soldier on to post a new generation we've got up exit through nineteen there's a new stage. to

. the united states i'm very touched by the way you know to sure that i was worried that they may not know why you live on mars you know mars. so we picked up things like rand. turbans. prayer rugs sword and we know they're coming from the middle east think concentration camp. concentration here to the east but it doesn't want to not even want to the fact that he's a stranger. well conceived and kept it with me as you can probably tell from behind me that gold is mountain we are indeed made which still and wait 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 that as it is with the case the devils may see is no policies in place would have the british prime minister david cameron talking about resorting job spots to britain are wrong data has some rouhani why investors for a post sanction era out of a tinseltown two with goldie hawn teach us a lot about the importance of meditation in amongst these days we had surveillance global warming the most is all of the universe in between the smoke kind of haze and go to champagne they want to focus on the global financial recovery seem to take a bit of a backseat they set off a good mate 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 also to him what concerns him the most complacency. the fact that people feel comfortable that they have lost the fear that they have lost the sense of urgency

and that they think we're out of the woods yet we're not out of the woods growth is very slow unemployment 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 the crisis is not over show let's continue to work hard don't feel complacent now one thing that ran through the forum was income inequality and the dangers that can come from it the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. doubles is 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 below as has tried to raise our image this year of the hierarchy system by introducing the topic

of income inequality which the forum said 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 are starting from up here is difficult to imagine how those people will become a priority for the people of 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 devils gets involved in the financial for is.
