antigovernment rodgers leave ukraine's justice ministry off the ransacking the building but keep barricades in place and pledge to stay until their demands are met. the head of a major trading service is arrested in new york dragging the value of the currency down he's been charged with drug profits in the tourist silk road website. as the syrian peace talks move towards allowing trapps civilians out of the city and to get humanitarian aid in. and also the british voters who had to board for the ballot as only one in ten young people say they'll turn up for the next election up top stories.

international live from a studio center in moscow is just a nine pm and seven pm in kiev where makeshift churned up pavements prevail that's how ukraine's capital looks after almost two weeks of relenting mayhem when anti-government rot is now entrenched outside the justice ministry it was stormed and occupied overnight by radical activists from the movement known as common cause. of the building but peter all of us now reports it's far from business as usual for the officials there the justice ministry is in a severe state of disarray after it was stormed by rioters on sunday evening all of its windows have been put out the most of the furniture is piled up against those windows to barricade when we spoke to those guys who were on the door there a huge line of people all in mosques and carrying shields and when. pin's there

they were saying that essentially they were blocking entry to this building in attempt to stop it from being occupied by what they calling provocateurs however they telling us that they will let people from the justice ministry and if they show their passes that they work there however if they were all to get into that building as i say they have to go through this line of in mosques carrying weapons with with shields it certainly doesn't seem like it's going to be a way of them being able to get a lot of work done in that building with regards to who's actually in charge when it comes to the opposition here in ukraine we can now hear a report from my colleague alexy out a chef ski jump. if i have to take a hole in the head i'll take a hole 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 and you can check or is enough to bring them in line.

kiev's independence square 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's to the violence uprising by using islam i'm not even listening to them everything is already been done by us or here but we are running the show they are forced to listen to us. and now the movements leaders have tossed off the president's invitation to leave the government but what happened you thought the only say one revolution now you know for them to control government to fight corruption and change the law they're refusing it their actions are deprived of any you object to them when you know they could not even agree on whether to accept a presidential amnesty for the jailed protesters yes there you were. president gore which. he'll release the detained protesters if there is no room for the resistance

in central kiev and our position is the same. provided prospers. will only agree to terms on the release of the protesters if the interior minister orders police now to a restaurant people anymore. does it would look at them as just but just good they're not politicians who simply wants a result and fast and that is just not reorganization of the country my children who see soldiers marching and try to jump in front of the formation of the field like generals. a country in revolt is now holding its breath until tuesday when big decisions are expected from parliament including the repeal of an anti protest law but judging by the move it seems there are no compromises that the crowds aren't ready to listen to. reporting from key. a group calling itself the ukrainian insurgent army is now claiming responsibility for the murder of

a policeman in kiev on saturday a statement that's appeared on facebook now warns that there are more killings to come the new law that cause such public anger introduced harsher punishments for protest but let's compare it to similar rules in europe and in north america if you're found guilty of starting a rot in britain then you could find yourself in jail for up to ten years and nine years if you whole petrol bombs but trying kiev and you would get just two years well vandalism in france from the facing statues to damaging streets is punishable by seven years behind bars but in ukraine just three. or even encouraging the overthrow of the united states government can see you thrown into a cell for up to twenty years that's twice as much as in ukraine and finally don't put a mask on your face at a rally in canada because that could land you up to ten years detention that's against just fifteen days in the former soviet state where british security analyst and former police officer charles shoe bridge told us the scale of dissent we're now seeing would never be tolerated in the u k. which is need to look at the way

that the british police particularly on that have dealt with pos parts i sort of really i mean 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 rates demonstrations that took place against cuts in student grants and loans and frick and such like them to place. a very robust response to deice demonstrations of course it's the police's responsibility and the right to condemn clearly and other european countries and the united states officially to facilitate peaceful protest particular protests of course commissioner advances required but nonetheless when the kind of to sort of it takes place that we would see happening quite rightly not care for the elsewhere in ukraine the place would be expected here and we've got to continue to respond very much more robustly. while the authorities in opposition leaders in kiev try to reach a political solution impatient protesters elsewhere taking matters into their own

hands rosses have been breaking to government buildings and city halls across the west of the country opposition leaders seem to be increasingly losing influence over what's happening on the streets there and in eastern ukraine the situation has been relatively calm so far but locals fear that could soon change as paula slip reports. the oath was thrown where afraid but we hope that these people will be stopped people internet sky watching closely the demonstrations in kiev 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 there's no place for jews in ukraine the greens can assume that if you are ukrainian nationalists ukrainian patriots who can become the heroes that will today defend the land were standing your 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 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 tasted the blondes and maybe they will become move weiland already two jews have been attacked of many fear this was to come. in the children school now there is a security guard children out 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 by. the crowd of people in surgical masks suddenly appear the bats in their jackets they beat the protesters

and kick them in the head asking when you mustn't we don't hide anything we suspect that 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 paula slee r.t. donates ukraine now as the justice ministry remains blockaded 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 e.u. well a lot to dot com we're running a poll to get your opinions on where the current riots are leading the country here's how they are shaping up so far almost half of you think that the rest will scare away any european partners about a quarter think that the writers will manage to force early elections and seventeen percent believe that a peaceful deal will be struck between the opposition and the president just a minority moment nine percent believe the president in a covert will give in and sign the deal with the log on to r.t.

dot com good to hear we have to say. a lot internationally to keep you up to date with events in kiev on air and on our web site r.t. dot com. the c.e.o. of one of the world's leading bitcoin exchanges bit instant has been arrested in new york charlie shrem is charged with helping to launder more than one million dollars worth of coins via the drug trade on the silk road website the bit instant co-founder has been a hero of all reports on the cryptocurrency and he told r.t. how his business developed from an ambitious start up to a major service for the community. came into the queen's face. i was the only person in york city had heard even heard of the coin i was left out of every v.c. firm in the city and now fast forward to two years there are so many start ups or

start meet ups. let's discuss this now with economist mark fulton senior fellow at the von institute. because markets they've really taken a hit recently anyway haven't they what willis at a rest do for the big coin itself its value and its future well this is terrible for the big coin market at least temporarily but this was a political event not a legal or judicial event this arrest it was a political event meant to intimidate people in the bitcoin space and it was a perfectly foreseeable event as well but we can't go into the exact nature of the charges but does it not surprise you that he has been arrested for dealing with the silk road website which of course was was closed down and in effect laundering money through that does does that not come as a surprise to you. no not at all he was in his bitcoins for cash basically in facilitating trade but not actually at least as far as these charges are

concerned involved in the trade and basically he gave a speech last night about the merits of bitcoin and in new york city today they're starting a two day hearing on the future of bitcoin right there in new york city where he was arrested so it fits in right after the speech and right before this public hearing to be held in new york today but because it has gotten a tourist reputation hasn't it by being used by the underworld by criminals so they can't be traced and dealing with all sorts of suspect goods oh yeah but because of small player even in the illegal transactions the u.s. dollar is actually the major facilitator of illegal transactions of drugs and human trafficking all sorts of nasty businesses most of the trade is done with the u.s. dollar not bitcoin bitcoin is a small player as a small percentage of its transactions are illegal that's true but the majority are for legal goods whereas the u.s.

dollar is the primary player in international trade in illicit items but could big . and eventually become a major threat to the dollar. well it is a threat but it's something that's not going to happen in the next day or the next year it's going to take some time to develop and basically the central bank the federal reserve and central banks around the world can fight off bitcoin by providing a more stable dollar a more stable euro they're in the business right now of making the world uncertain as to the future of money and so that's the only reason why bitcoin was has become so prominent today but it's come probably but is it not a fad that is going to vanish eventually well that's you know that's for the history books we don't know but i think the chances are is that bitcoin has some advantages over traditional money to make it look like it's going to have a future or if not going then some form of electronic transmittable monetary

systems outside of the purview of central banks i think that's for certain just a quick question we're told about silk road and understand the u.s. government and billions worth of millions i should say with a bit coins after the shutdown of that website but what would it be doing with that money do you think well it's not they're not the true owner they're just they have possession of those bitcoins i think that they're you know the governments tend to be technologically inept and i'm pretty sure they're probably won't know what to do with them for quite some time but you say well this is political and this is the u.s. government talking a big con but what will we see other governments also joining the u.s. and target in the big point as as a threat. well i think that other countries have started to make their intentions known i think that if they see bitcoin is becoming a problem for them that they maybe step in i think china is worried about people moving capital outside of china and so they're putting regulations in issuing threats and so i think that that is something that we're going to see is the one

big coin becomes a problem for governments that governments are going to step in and try to regulate them and try to restrict people's access and limit the amount of transactions that take place with bitcoin relative to their own domestic currency. thank you very much indeed thanks for your thoughts on this see what the future holds thank you very much thank you. but it looks like america's big brother has been getting a big. break .

for the global economy.

hundreds of women and children trapped in the middle of syrian warfare may be able to leave the besieged city of homs it's a hope it's a resident the geneva two peace talks where the government and opposition have agreed to allow those civilians to flee to safety and let humanitarian aid in elsewhere people are slowly returning to the country's biggest city 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 look so what's left for citizens to rebuild their lives with. we learned at aleppo 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 are the destroyed or looted in the middle of 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 is that 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. rather coffee we need more and more residents here sharing these optimists. like some 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 while we are talking. humanitarian 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. we leave the village to drive to the city 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 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 militants 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 liquor was a good place to start with so we can give an example to other regions but these guys from the newsroom front from al qaeda the don't know what they want but it's certainly not peace but while they see 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 riff nationality from syria . james corbet editor of the independent news website the colbert report says the fate of the people in syria is still in 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 be on the terrorists actually standing down no allowing this transferred take place. and i say isn't content just to spawn huge numbers of people edward snowden says it also keeps a very close eye on business as it was told german t.v. that the us agency tries to siphon off any information they can get its hands on glenn ford is a former british army pay who has spent years working to raise awareness of such as banal as he says the e.u. should have seen this coming. i guess you're just being naive or. i mean

when the americans are. hundreds of millions of people across the european union why would we expect them to leave business alone is probably close in europe europe tens of thousands of jobs every time america american companies win contracts that european companies were expecting to win we must be suspicious now that's not because she had a better deal on the table than you whatever deal. the brits get themselves fought up about voting anymore with turnout for elections in recent years on the downward slide and its young people in particular backing away from the ballot box ten percent saying they will definitely take part in next year's general election to sicily reports now from london is nobody worth fighting for i wouldn't vote 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 haven't i don't have a choice you have how many people protesting against was government never even showed an interest in what happens is that that sort of peaceful protest goes 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. i taking to the streets feeling that this alternative may be more up to them but. young people are

interested in politics and politicians and money responsible and political parties for not appealing to young people young people getting involved in a very diverse range of political participation says from the titian instant boycotts demonstrations doing stuff on live gauging the occupied leave with. what we have to accept is that traditional politics is no longer the only game in town i think there is a genuinely existential problem for traditional british democracy if turnout turned were to continue processions are extremely aware of this problem and so they should be. but it seems not enough to us wage the anger that just keeps boiling over onto the streets right there. are so you are to london. about the need to move in just over half an hour from now in the
