you care about you and. d.h. is why you should care what you only call. radical anti-government riders diggin out ukraine's justice minister ignoring opposition leaders pleas to leave the siege threatens to go with a government with a taste of emergency looming. hope for holmes the syrian peace talks move toward allowing trapped civilians out of the embattled city and to get humanitarian aid and. the british voters who are to board for the ballot as only one in ten young people say they'll be bothered to turn out for the next election.

this international coming to you live from moscow i'm marina josh welcome to the program now bonfires barricades and dug up pavements that's how ukraine's capital looks after almost two weeks of unrelenting violence and government rioters are entrenched in the justice ministry building refusing to budge even despite fellow opposition leaders please about fifty radical activists from the movement known as common cause stormed the ministry at night smashing windows with clubs and metal bars opposition leader vitaly klitschko tried to talk them down and convince them to leave instead they dug in deeper calling for backup and directing barricades ukraine's justice minister calls them a threat to talks between the opposition and the president and warrants she might call a state of emergency if the occupation continues people all over has more from kiev . well this is how it looks right now at the justice ministry here in kiev this became the latest building to be overrun by rioters on sunday evening now it's

still being occupied by opposition forces as you can see they've they've the windows that are being broken through there for using the furniture here to make some kind of barricades and block those away you can also come over this way still groups outside making sure that nobody can get into that building night telling me that they have no intention to leave anytime soon now that's despite opposition leader batali klitschko coming here and saying to these people that they should leave they say in this position leave this building now we've heard from the justice minister herself she said that the fact that they occupying these buildings and they're refusing to leave could end up how purring any kind of talks that are going on to try and broker some kind of peace here in ukraine. and also you see behind me the barricades that they've built very sturdy barricades in order to stop anybody from coming here where i am right now is not too far away from independence square the areas that the opposition occupying or is growing not decreasing at the

moment this is despite calls from their leaders that they should move away from these buildings my colleague alexy out a shift ski has a report now on who is in charge here whether it's the opposition leaders that are telling the people what to do whether it's the people that are dictating what they want to happen. if i have to take a whole that in the head i'll take a bullet in the head of the opposition speeches are his fiery as ever but not all of the protesters are buying it. i not even the commanding presence will be done you can check or is enough to bring them in line. the. key of c. independence square still adorned with different color flag. opposition parties but the biggest question right now is whether they're actually controlling anything at all there's a widespread opinion now in ukraine is that their inability to provide crucial

decisions let's to the violence uprising. i'm not even listening to them everything is already been done by us here but we are running the show they are forced to listen to us. and know their movements leaders have passed up the president's invitation to leave the government but. the only say one revolution 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 you object that. they could not even agree on whether to accept a presidential amnesty for the jailed protesters. president deanna corey said he'll release the detained protesters if there is no for the resistance in central kiev and our position is the same. order. will only agreed to terms on the release of the protesters if the interior minister orders police not to arrest our people anymore. but just they're not politicians they simply

want a result and fast and that is a snap reorganization of the country they're like children you 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 you getting the repeal of an anti protest law but judging by the mood of my it seems there are no compromises that the crowds are ready to listen to. reporting from kiev in ukraine now the new laws of cause such public anger in ukraine introduced harsher punishments for protest but let's compare it to similar rules in europe and across the atlantic if you're found guilty of stirring a riot in britain you could find yourself in jail for up to ten years and nine years if you hurled petrol bombs but in ukraine get just two years values in france from defacing statues to damaging streets as punishable by seven years behind bars

but in ukraine it will get you locked up for just three years attempting or even encouraging the overthrow of the united states government can see you thrown into a cell for up to twenty years and that's twice as much as in ukraine finally don't put a mask on your face at a rally in canada because that could land you up to ten years detention and that's against just fifteen days in ukraine british security analyst and former ride police officer charles shear bridge told me the scale of dissent being seen in ukraine would never be permitted in the u k. which is need to look at the way that the purchased place a particular event to have dealt lease protests that have occurred really in the last three or four years if one looks at for example the protests that occurred at the g twenty summit in london all props weights demonstrations that took place against cuts in student. loans and freaked out and suchlike than the place that take a very robust response to today's demonstrations of course so said the police's responsibility

to keep them clearly under value cultures in the united states officially to facilitate peaceful protest particularly at ice protests have got permission in advance as is required but nonetheless when the kind of disorder that takes place that we could see happening quite rightly now kefford elsewhere in ukraine the police would be expected here not to condemn to respond very much more robust. while the authorities and opposition leaders in kiev try to reach a political solution impatient protesters elsewhere are taking matters into their own hands riders have been breaking into government buildings and city halls across the country and opposition leaders seem to be increasingly losing influence over what's happening on the streets but in the east of the country there are rising wave of trouble it's causing more concern down support as falsely you know reports . was road where

afraid but we hope that these people will be stopped people internet skull watching closely the demonstrations and hears they fear the violence will spread from west to east ukraine and inspire upheaval and copycat protests here alexandra green is taking seriously remarks by the openly racist opposition svoboda party that has no place for jews in ukraine. greenstein assuming you are ukrainian nationalists ukrainian patriots who can become the heroes there will today defend the land were standing on bag then during the second world war our soldiers took our guns and went into the forest to fight the russians the germans the jews and other evils and i wanted to take the ukrainian nation from us. this jewish mother of two is thinking about packing up and leaving these people protesters have already days of the blogs and maybe they will become move while and already two jews have been

attacked in kiev many fear there's worse to come. in the children's school now there is a security guard children now to pepper sprays to school to be safe i'm afraid for my family people living here are bracing for more days if not weeks of grim uncertainty they worry the violence is spilling eastwards and so protesters are taking to the streets to show their support for president yannick coverage but more often than not these rallies are being disrupted wherever. they grow out of people in surgical mask suddenly appear they had bats in their jackets they beat the protesters and kicked them in the head last year when you listen because we don't hide anything suspect of these people wanted to cause trouble with provocations from opposition supporters on the rise a growing number of ukrainians fear that the last few weeks might just be a dress rehearsal for what's to come policy r t donetsk ukraine. now as

a justice minister of maine's blockade the opposition leaders have disowned the common cause movement responsible for the takeover this whole protest began over the ukrainian president's refusal to sign a partnership deal with the you well on our web site r.t. dot com we're running a poll to get your opinions on word the current riots are leading ukraine and here's how the answers are shaping up so far well you can see that almost half our viewers say the unrest will scare any european partners away a ballots a quarter of you say the riders will manage through forests early elections and a sixteen percent say a peaceful deal will be struck between the opposition and the president and about eleven percent and believe president out of college will give in and signed a deal with the e.u. well the entirety dot com to have your say let us know what you think on this issue now our team the national is keeping you up to date with events in kiev twenty four

choose the good sense to. choose to use the great. choose the stories but if you. choose to access to. go back and watch martino national the hundreds of women and children trapped in the middle of syria warfare may be able to leave the besieged city of homes it's

a hope that's arisen add the geneva two peace talks where the government and opposition have agreed to allow those civilians to flee to safety and allow humanitarian aid in while elsewhere people are slower returning to the country's biggest city of aleppo to find their homes demolished or pillaged and some of the most destructive fighting has reduced large parts of the ancient site to rubble moreas a national looks at what's left for citizens to rebuild their lives with. we learned at a local 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 dollars factory where two thousand people were working now because

there is left hers 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 are the destroyed or looted in the middle of it all depends on how lucky you are our home was almost untag they stole everything i mean just 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 will give us power to build everything from scratch wherever. rather coffee we need more and more residents here on sharing these optimists have

like some coffee to play out how's life full of life is good things got. families returned with their kids mohamad 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. while 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 be 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. . or to use 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 and texturally 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 moderates free syrian army factions fighting radical al qaida affiliated groups there for control with the government forces trying to fight them both. but minute and 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 and the all the 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 or front from al qaeda the 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 rule torn country residents say they're not dreaded to give up their fight for their country to be at peace rich nationality from syria. while games corbat editor of in a pan news website a corvette report says afraid of the people in syria still the hands of extremists who have no interest in peaceful diplomacy. in theory this won't be a particularly difficult part of the plan to implement logistically all it would take is this is ation of active hostilities during the time that these women and children are being transported out of the area but perhaps that's easier said than done as both the syrian foreign deputy foreign minister and. own political advisor have both stated recently this is not really a political breakthrough since the syrian government has had in place since two thousand and thirteen

a plan to deliver aid to these civilians populations in these terrorist held areas of the country since for the past year and all such delivery aid delivery has have failed because they have been fired upon by the terrorists themselves so this is not necessarily a breakthrough to it but it will hinge on the terrorists actually standing don't know allowing this transferred take place out of those like america's big brother has been getting its hands on big business adverts nobody has revealed the guild television that the n.s.a. has been using everything it's got to pry the commercial secrets of foreign firms for that i have also the program. taking on the toughest where in such intimate russia's paralympic sled hockey team stay with us for this one. the brits just can't get themselves fired up about voting anymore with turnout for

elections in recent years on a downward slide added to young people in particular who are backing away from the ballot box only ten percent say they will definitely take part in next year's general election reports from london. there's nobody worth fighting for i would have voted for i want you to point out ted sorry i'm not really sure what sentiments that don't bode well for democratic legitimacy and british politicians as electoral engagement continues to decline and the public's emotions turn sour anger is the chief reaction to politicians across all sections of the electorate a recent poll found followed by boredom particularly among the youth with one study showing that only one in ten are definitely planning to vote in the u. case twenty fifteen the general elections have voted before i regret doing it i don't want to be involved with it and i don't want to give it legitimacy i think going to the ballot box gives to this particular system no i don't regret having a system in which i don't have run i don't have

a choice you have how many people who are protesting against was government never even showed an interest in what it what happens to. peaceful protest groups into anger because they're not being listened to and people have been going to stop taking direct action many may have turned their backs on the ballot boxes but there are those who continue their moment of society and politics by taking to the street feeling that this alternative may be more than they're both. young people are interested in politics politicians and the responsible and political parties for. people young people getting involved in a very diverse range of political parts patiences from the titian instant boycotts demonstrations doing stuff on live gauging the occupied. what we have to accept is that our traditional politics is no longer the only game in town i think there is

a genuine the existential problem for traditional british democracy if turned were to continue stream where this problem and so they should be. but it seems not enough to us rage the anger that just keeps boiling over onto the streets. to us are still there are to london. a russian oil giants got a rare chance to make it a mexico the country's a limited seventy five year ban on foreign firms conducting exploration now instructor look at have deal with look oil as we tell you online party dot com the striking story. and maizie images from leningrad seventy years ago insured through years of being horrifically undersea. the n.s.a. isn't content just to spy on huge numbers of people edward snowden says and also

keeps a very close eye on businesses and the whistleblower told german t.v. that the u.s. agency tries to siphon off any information it can get its hands on and he was shown a form of five officers says the n.s.a. is taking industrial spying to a new level the importance is about the scale of the problem because our intelligence agencies have always had a mandate to not only protect national security but also to protect the economic well being of all countries however that is very different from aggressive industrial espionage on an aggressively industrial scale which of course is what snowden has no revealed because the new technologies with the internet and all the surveillance capabilities that the n.s.a. and it's it's you. have developed i mean that they can hoover up literally everything so of course each country wants to protect its economic well being of course it will try and jockey for political and economic advantage but for the sheer scale of it i think that is the issue here. and some other news making headlines around the world today iraqi security forces fighting with al qaida

linked militants near the city of fallujah left at least eight people dead and dozens injured at least five iraqi soldiers have been abducted and several army vehicles seized by the government the army has set a loose cordon around the rebel held city and intensified airstrikes to expel the militants from the occupied areas a standoff which has continued for three weeks has cost thousands of people to flee their homes. there's been a fresh wave of violent demonstrations in bahrain after a protester who was shot by police died in custody abbas was gravely wounded by officers and detained during anti-monarchy rally on the eighth of january after his funeral angry crowds threw stones and pepper bombs at police who had deployed tear gas. anti-government street rally in paris has descended into chaos with at least nine hundred police injured and two hundred fifty protesters arrested organizers of the so-called day of anger say up to one hundred twenty thousand took to the

streets but police side were figures and polls show that public frustration over budget cuts soaring unemployment and high taxes under president hollande have made him france's most unpopular leader of modern times. now the paralympic winter games following on the heels of a sore two lympics will see russia's sled hockey team perform before a global audience for the first time artist i would say saw them shop in their skills on the ice. behind me is of the shy but a rena this is where the paralympics will hold their eyes a sledge hockey tournament now the women's olympic hockey teams will also be playing raiatea in this arena this is a seven thousand multi-polar poses see to a readout don't be surprised to hear the crowd chanting shy but the name means punk

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 that 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's in deep trouble according to fox news ron martin faces a misdemeanor charge for violating fiscal 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 bio speeding tickets i hope that mr martin finds

a way to go right back to holding his sign but this time on private property the fascist my opinion. welcome to surf and co on sophie shevardnadze the latest round of the. israeli palestinian negotiations has yet to bear fruit but while the size of voiced their disagreement on almost every issue publicly the talks still hold watch promise what is to be done with the settlements what will happen to jerusalem and how will palestine and israel resolve the most pressing diplomatic problem of our time west the foreign minister of the palestinian administration. the conflict in

palestine has been raging for decades. and list talks try to proclaim peace only to see war flare up once. now after five years of silence there is again hope. for the world's most powerful diplomats brokering a deal is a question of glory for israel and palestine it is about the very survival how much are they willing to give up to and bloodshed in the holy land. is peace finally coming to the middle east. really great to have you on our program today a palestinian foreign minister welcome so mahmoud abbas has said recently that good progress has been made in negotiations with israel and there's a possibility of prolonging the talks so what have the palestinian negotiators minutes to get from the israeli side at this point. well first of all the person who is in charge of the sponsor will to declare if there isn't

a progress in the negotiations is that it could be nobody else says. we cannot talk about throw to us or lack of progress. are we going to put the two prolonged no one is talking about prolonging the. already allocated time for the negotiations which is really nine months we have rated. clearly that we are sticking to the. original dates which should end by the twenty ninth of. april this month this year and so i need talk about prolonging the negotiations a little this is. premature. and lacks of course knowledge of the status of the negotiations.
