step will be a presidential election. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program now ukrainian opposition leader a new book says taking over the justice ministry in kiev was not the plan because it could hurt tuesday's negotiations with the government a group of writers is occupying that building right now while local administration headquarters have been the target of protesters elsewhere in the country. the justice ministry has been occupied by the opposition group calling themselves common cause no we're hearing that they are the same group that it occupied both

the energy and the agricultural ministry here previously they have been driven out of some of the areas that they had previously occupied before and they're now moving into this new location now they entered the building without any resistance and they're currently building a system of barricades this is what's happening on sunday night on saturday night we saw at the convention center just near to independence square stormed by rioters some quite ugly scenes at times we saw. cocktails rocks burning tires and partly even a hunger in aid in one instance during nazi standoff that was going on there now the violence that started here in kiev initially spread to the the west of the country to start off with now it's government buildings that have been targeted they've been subject to sieges by rioters and in many cases they've just been

simply overrun by the numbers that have come out on the streets in the city of. we have heard that riot police have retaken the main government building there and also in the city you to nip of but we've seen the government buildings they're coming under siege by rioters the police were able to drive them off but they are now. cheering up their position. prepare for perhaps a further assault there by rioters it's a scene we've seen across the west of the country something that's spreading into the central and southern areas of ukraine so what we are seeing right now across ukraine is despite concessions that have been made by the victory on the code which are in the government here that they would try and change the constitution to do. would trying give opposition leaders positions in the government that they would offer and to anybody who'd being detained by police on the condition that

rice is left government buildings we are seeing any movement from those riots is in any way that they would voluntarily remove themselves from any of that barricades in fact and what we are seeing is that they're building more of those barricades artie's peter all over for us there in kiev now another local administration building in ukraine is being cleared out by special forces right now in the northeastern city of sumi it was besieged after a mass rally which reportedly drew thousands of people meanwhile back in kiev one radical gang of protesters allegedly had these weapons in their possession police seized assault rifles pistols and hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the group authorities claim the gang supplied arms to other rioters and there were attacks on security forces during the week one police officer who was wounded and two others taken hostage reportedly tortured and will then later released. from the tomatoes

made it absolutely clear that it's not frankly sympathetic to sanctions so there are divisions within the european union itself there are some hardliners like mr shultz but i'm not convinced that everybody in the european union agrees to this i think the next week may be very important we will see what happens at the parliamentary session on tuesday if there is a political breakthrough there then by haps we could see the end an end to the violence. the takeover of government buildings and riots are mostly happening in kiev and in the western half of the country as this map shows you as the authorities struggle to control the situation western governments are urging them to secure democracy or to select he or she looks at how the unrest is unfolding. those young people into streets of ukraine by seizing temperatures are writing didn't you noted before 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 up rushed wave of accusations aimed at the actions of the authorities against what they called peaceful protesters. we have all been fun but you know some of the we expect from the ukrainian government then these should democratic freedom in particular they put unity 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 of the riots will be. dealt with effectively in the near future that a nation of. neo nazi. therefore i don't think that

everyone will follow the call of opposition leaders jewel of what a peaceful resolution of these of these some of these deals held down from the violence and they will continue for some time. over the past two months they're you know my done has changed in form and meaning what started as a peaceful protests 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 guess. around wouldn't have enough forces so ukraine will be split it probably in two parts. we have two different causes the opposition is still looking horns with those in power

trying to get a better deal with the president. but the protestors 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 any agreed truth. reporting from key if you crane. unlike their western neighbors in eastern ukraine is mostly in support of president viktor yushchenko which people there are getting worried about what is going on in the country fairing that the protesters could be pulling ukraine in the wrong direction artie's policy or reports. the industrial heart of the ukraine is a place where the majority has been silent until now the violent pictures from kiev are spring people here into action but not in support of the anti-government riot has not but the most of us not beat up but i cannot it is going well there are such things happening in ukraine the protests in kiev are horrible we are brothers we're

all ukrainians in the east and south of the country support for president general cough which is high while tolerance for whiting 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. by gregory green is a correspondent with the local newspaper he wants order and for as long as the government provides it he says he'll supporters were buying up much or 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 lies in europe losing off. russian market is or three all this region so that is the main reason why. people. don't. want. 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 end to the demonstration and a deal to join the russian customs union this they say will give him the stability and security that the key of protests are threatening. policia auti donates ukraine things are developing rapidly in ukraine but you can keep track of it all via our live updates timeline on r.t.

envoy lakhdar brahimi at the peace conference in geneva a joint statement is expected to be made on monday or tuesday maria notion is in damascus with details. if you're in government and you're in a position agreed on sunday in geneva to allow the civilians outside that if you keep your homes in central syria we can expect that to happen as soon as on monday the horse has been clashes between here an army and the rebel forces for almost two years now but last year we looked at the weekend we saw the press a picture at least two districts were badly destroyed in two others it was shelling many residents fled of course but those who didn't touch hands were tied they were trapped in the fight and today up to roll this time of course they face a severe shortage and of food and medical supplies and it's the third largest city in syria and we're talking about thousands of people here this really representing the u.n. have never blinked at geneva two peace talks also told press that women children as

well as a number of adult male civilians conferred as you know militants and this is very important will be evacuated from the city of homs but it's still not clear exactly how it will be organized as the fight in the every still continues of course we can consider it as a serious achievement in the talks between the syrian rival sides of the first iraq they have in almost three years devastating war and a very positive one but still a lot has to be done as other areas here in syria remain besieged and even here in damascus the city in the community tearing situation is hot my colleague your piece cannot has been following the talks in geneva they face one another let's talk to one another a former 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 that i don't think the probability any solution without said going our separate go it became clear both sides had a completely different understanding of the talks goals the rebels pressed for a son to step down officials seem to be ready to talk about almost anything except the president's future but at least outside players agreed to 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 rebuilding 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 botched 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 you got this going off r.t. geneva switzerland in a few minutes we take it to the slopes of sochi for some practice on the peaks. we made this in late may and i'm still in tags nobody is broken and i can tell you this it is absolutely magical out archie's to samples the olympic high life that is coming up later in the program. the n.s.a.

spy scandal could be gaining momentum once again in an interview with a german t.v. channel edward snowden claimed that the agency is involved in industrial espionage the whistleblower said that the n.s.a. snooped on a major german companies that were in competition with u.s. firms the new allegations could weaken the already damaged ties between washington and berlin previous leaks caused outrage when it emerged that angela merkel's phone had been bugged she then accused the us of an unacceptable breach of trust no voc is a member of the snowden campaign team which is working to shed light on the extent of the n.s.a. spying. we know that he is a hero here's a brave man who risked a lot of things to let us that people know the extent of us media surveillance and intrusion into our private lives and we just want to show him that we appreciate what he has done and it is

a clear message sent out to those who are monitoring us that we will not stand for this and that we do not this we do not accept this kind of criminality i think the only people who are accusing at what's known of anything other than a brave man who informed the people of what they should be knowing is that those will be the people who are profiting from this kind of mass surveillance and intrusion into our private lives our a worker at a japanese food factory has made about three thousand people sick the man who poisoned pizza chicken nuggets with pesticides and triggered the recall of six million products we've got the whole story at our to dot com. plus at the in motion section of our website we've got footage of a mudslide sweeping through northwest argentina it's killed four people so far with at least eight still missing and has led to a mass evacuation. chasing after democracy egypt's

power the keep talking of conspiracy theories they keep blaming the government for staging those bombings in it's the portman's which is absolutely nonsense but at the same time the opposite the opposite side which is the regime and the regime loyalists and the proliferation media or protesters are not peaceful themselves and are as hostile as the muslim got it is what we 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 of a change pace is just a bit of snow a russian winter occurs even a few kilometers away from the tropical black sea coast resort city of sochi located there is said to provide super but white slopes for the winter olympics. say visited the mountain venues for the upcoming games.

nationals because of the incident remains unknown. about seventeen thousand demonstrators have marched through central paris protesting against president alond and his policies a struggling economy soaring unemployment high taxes and housing needs at the center of the protests fifty organizations mostly right wing groups planned the route. from state of the art navigation systems to russia's next industrial revolution technology update is after a short break right here on our chief international. i've always had mixed feelings about speed traps it seems like it's a waste of the police officers time but on the other hand they sure do make people paranoid and drive more slowly one man from texas is completely sure his opinion

about speed traps and he set out to save his felt texans from being fined for speeding and much more importantly from potential traffic accidents caused by the hidden police and now he's the one who is in deep trouble according to fox news ron martin faces a misdemeanor charge for violating frisco texas sign ordinance that says that you may only stand around holding a sign on private property martin claims that he was doing the exact same thing as a speed limit sign reminding people to slow down and i think ultimately he is right you should be able to tell other people where the police are setting up speed traps because that will cause them to drive more slowly which is the real goal of speed traps in the first place the only reason local authorities would be against this is because they love the income that comes from a nice big pile of speeding tickets i hope that mr martin finds a way to go right back to holding his sign but this time on private property precious my opinion.

hello and welcome to technology updates on today's show. we listen to some pretty cool. gets caught up in the next industrial revolution. materials make the medical marvels. and we hold our very own my tea party. first. today's fast paced world the race is on to get more done in less time but the old saying more haste less speed was never truer than on the roads of 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. a second way.

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 per year sticking to tail bikes which altogether can stretch of to two thousand kilometers. high tech gadgets like the head up display from a sadie's 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 you are a navigation system puts mental 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 rev counter 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. we decided to build a simulator to refine the user interface in order to test the the way. display works before installing it in a real car. demonstrate the focus to infinity effect so that people quickly this new type of navigation system is indeed more convenient because it doesn't distract you from driving.
