this is. the. rioters take over the justice ministry and clear of a meeting latest display of discord among the opposition for trying to oust the country's leadership and refuse to take no for an answer. as syria peace talks in geneva bring about a deal aimed at easing the humanitarian crisis in alms our t.v. is it's another major in battled city aleppo to see how residents there are coping . and young voters in the u.k. become increasingly disenchanted with politics and politicians sparking concerns of a low turnout for next year's general election.

you're watching r t international life from moscow islands in france thanks for joining me. rioters occupying the justice ministry in the ukrainian capital are beyond the control of the political opposition one leader vitaly klitschko tried to talk the radical activists out of the building but they refused to leave. now on why some of the protestors are ignoring party orders. yes. if i have to take a bullet in the head i'll take a bullet in the head the opposition speeches are as fiery as ever but not all of the protesters are buying it. not even the commanding presence of each corps is enough to bring them in line kiev's independence square is still adorned with different color flags of opposition parties but the biggest question right now is whether they actually controlling anything at all there's a widespread opinion now in ukraine is that their inability to provide crucial decisions let to the violence uprising. i'm not even listening to them everything is already been done by us here but if we're running the show they're forced to

listen to us and know their movements leaders have passed up the president's invitation to lead your government. but now you only say we are now we offered them to control government to fight corruption and change the law but they're refusing it their actions are deprived of any. they could not even agree on whether to accept a presidential amnesty for the jailed protesters yes the. president said he will release the detained protesters there's no where the resistance is in central kiev and our position is the same. it provided prospers that us masri i ask will only. terms on the release of the protesters if the interior minister orders police not to arrest our people anymore robert that does it would look at them just like just good they're not politicians they simply wants a result and fast and that is

a snap reorganization of the country like the children who see soldiers marching and trying to jump in front of the formation to feel like generals. a country in revolt is now holding its breath until tuesday when big decisions are expected from parliament getting the repeal of an anti protest law but judging by the mood of my done it seems there are no compromises that the crowds are ready to listen to. reporting from kiev in ukraine and just as authorities are trying to bring a political solution to the table the most impatient protesters are taking matters into their own hands rioters are breaking into government buildings and city halls across the country this is mostly happening in the west of ukraine and it's getting harder for authorities to contain the protests as our peter all reports. we saw at the convention center just near to independence square which is right behind me stormed by rioters some quite ugly scenes at times we saw molotov cocktails rocks

burning tires and apparently even a hunger an aide in one instance thrown during nazi standoff that was going on there no 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 are 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 seen the government buildings there coming under siege by rioters the police were able to drive them off but they are now. cheering up their position to prepare for perhaps a further assault there by rioters it's a scene we've seen across the west of the country something that spreading into the

central and southern areas of ukraine as we are seeing any movement from those rioters in any way that they would voluntarily remove themselves from any of their barricades in fact and what we are seeing is that they're building more of those. the u.s. and a more political restrictions might be used to restrain the authorities in kiev that legal expert and political blogger alexander macoris says europe is too out of tune to make such a decision. i don't think it's actually a close as it breaks out one important change that's happened is that the presidency of the european union the rotating presidency has passed to greece and greece has 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 sholes 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 than perhaps we could see the end and into the violence. part international is keeping you up to date with the events in care of twenty four seven on air and through our website r.t. dot com. talks between the syrian government and extra opposition in geneva seem to be finally bringing about some results the sides have reached an agreement that will lead humanitarian aid enter the besieged city of on's and allowed women and children to leave its warhead areas now meanwhile in syria's other embattled city aleppo people are returning to their homes after government forces recaptured large parts of the town from militants artie's more if a national reports on the civilian struggle to bring their life back to normal. we

learned a little international airport on what is believed to be the first civil airplane to touch down here in the last year. it's a special government flight but authorities say regular ones are due to start in a month's time this flight means the return of life to this airport and the syrian army this northern syrian region has seen the most violent clashes during the almost three year long conflict leaving death and devastation behind it used to be four billion dollar factory where two thousand people were working now you can see there is left person is destroyed but while that is a common picture here it seems that helpful peace is slowly coming back this village outside aleppo has just come back under government control out of fourteen thousand residents who fled it after the rebels a tag one third the government says is now back to discover the houses either

destroyed or looted in them and it all depends on how lucky you are our home was almost untag but they stole everything i mean. this pregnant woman says she and her husband have been waiting for this baby for twelve years and they're happy to finally have it now instead of our home was destroyed we now have nothing but god gave us a baby and that's who give us power to build everything from scratch wherever. rather coffee we need more and more residents here sharing these optimists. like coffee to play out how's life life is good things god. family is returned with their kids muhammad twelve years old couldn't go to school for months but he still thinks of his school days i have three friends and him how much and how many there my cousins. well we are talking to many terran aid arrived people are in

desperate need of simply everything and most importantly security measures did what we do now is we get locals involved in patrolling and helping the army secure the area and protecting the village and we call on all of us to come back soon he has interviewed who leave the village to drive to the c.-t. . what used to take some fifteen minutes by highway takes an hour today roads are not yet safe enough but parts of aleppo loop secure at least at first glance we are a little bit surprised to see what used to be syria's biggest business center still so vibrant time to actually say we even took off like jackets with us expecting to see clashes in the middle of a completely destroyed city but don't be mistaken this is the western part of the city. more to the east you will see a completely different picture moderate free syrian army factions fighting radical

al qaida affiliated groups there for control with the government forces trying to fight them both. but middleton still control half of the city and a big part of northern syria remaining the biggest challenge to the cease fire plan pushed forward by syrian and russian foreign ministers we syrians are ready to reconcile with each other and the letter was a good place to start with so we can give an example to other regions but these guys from the news refrain from al qaeda they don't know what they want but it's certainly not peace but while this force is large enough to threaten a carefully forged peace to this war torn country residents say they're not dreaded to give up their fight for their country to be at peace rich nationality from syria . it still remains to be saying how the first step agreements reached in. well be

implemented the talks are ongoing but middle east expert palo refind says no major deal should be anticipated that unless other key players in the region are involved in the process through well you know the opposition in not syria at least for nigeria. is not at all sure that those won't be convened in iraq but these talks should be able to transform decisions into action on the ground it is clear that slightly if you should look in iraq as being a step forward in the sense that the conference the a collapse but on the other hand. experts that almost all agree to find to your role and sustainable solution in syria it is necessary to start to dial don't read other tool parties richie's iran and saudi arabia which are in fact influencing the facts on the ground be here a new in the soul the dialogue is necessary to find

a solution for syria otherwise we would continue with such small agreements which probably on the ground will not be difficult to be implemented. coming up on our to international unlimited ability. these guys managed to prove to themselves and their relatives and the entire society that they are not people with disabilities or with unlimited. we report from saatchi on russia's black hawk eating. right to see. her street. and i would think that your.

impress in the global financial arena for the first time a university in the u.k. has decided to accept the digital currency for attrition fees that's is the future of the cryptocurrency is being discussed at a conference in miami our correspondent perry i'm boring listen to some of the forecasts for the virtual money. and i'm here at these twenty four team north american point conference i went to the first ever big conference about a year ago and in one year the amount of growth and the big points of unity if you received a number of big points in circulation increase fourteen percent and the number of bitcoin transactions per day have increased twenty five percent in just one year i spoke with nicholas carey he is the c.e.o. of block chain which is the world. biggest they coined a website decline has been growing at an astronomical rate we say there's an unbelievable migration of human talent and capital moving into big i expect more volatility but possibly even up for trajectory this will be a good thing for everybody though more money moving into the space more attention

to it and greater adoption of decline twenty fourteen is all going to be about making that point more user friendly and having more start up companies to get more consumers and vaults and the community now i also spoke with nick just set the a bit pay which was the first big point payment processing company asked about the kind of growth that he saw within the last year or so about this time last year we had maybe two thousand merchants on our platform accepting that going now we have over twenty one thousand so about ten times more in the course of the year and so i think the trend is going to continue more and more merchants are seeing the value that bitcoin can bring to their business government regulation is a big threat to big coin businesses the regulatory environment is unclear and predictable and it's already put a lot of businesses out of business regulating big point however it would essentially be endorsing and so there are a lot of governments that are using a hands off approach despite this to read everyone here seems to agree that the decline floodgates have been opened and that decline is here to stay and miami
