was. nationalising here to take the revolution into their own hands saying they're fed up with a lack of determination among the opposition big deep roots of ethnic disputes in ukraine. the u.s. president delivers new promises for a better future in his state of the union speech but polls suggest the public no longer trust him to follow through on his word. on to business but now as a foreign companies are ready to rush back into it you've run taking advantage of the cultural suspension of sanctions following last year's historic nuclear agreement.
12:01 am
international news and comment live from moscow you're watching now to international with me. thanks for joining us nationalists and happy with the leadership of ukraine's nationwide protest movement and speed don't they attend revolution say from now on they are in charge one of these old the so-called right sector movement says it's obliged to take responsibility because the opposition's aims are to beg among the groups ideas is to reject the e.u. in favor of establishing a ukrainian only state as nick minorities and are worried about the potential rise of extremism and as our season exceed the finds out this is a conflict that goes beyond generations. u.s. love him a chef ski barely remembers the horrific events of nine hundred forty three when ukrainian insurgents they will by going to slaughter his village in western ukraine but the most tragic things live well in his memory. one of them caught up and shot
12:02 am
from close range there was a huge noise a bullet hit an ear it touched the temple my mom fell down she was unconscious the blood was everywhere they thought and sober and went to the village to murder they didn't kill they murdered with pitchforks and axes survived to become poland's first and only man in space nineteen members of his family including his father and more than eighty thousand poles jews and their medians were not as lucky some of murders in what was a genuine ethnic cleansing by troops were extremely gruesome people cut in pieces with a saw nine hundred forty three conducted to total ethnic cleansing crane that is to destroy a living on up here a tory they considered the property of the devolving slaughter of the murders of the continuum of the new and third the region of the worry grainy and try to help.
12:03 am
but those ukrainians are flowing through. seven decades later when ukraine's opposition faced off with the government pictures of those behind the slaughter resurfaced in the heart of the protest the man who formed the 1940's insurgent movement in ukraine step on when there is still pretty much tearing the country apart while many call him a killer and cannot forgive the atrocities his movement had committed some at them i don't i clearly guarding him as a hero warsaw has been supportive of ukraine's protesters all along despite a chunk of the radical writers supporting the man who brought so much pain to the polish nation unpunished minors which haven't been prosecuted well at all and spawning writers standing at his father's grave must laugh to myself ski says he feels no hate towards ukrainians but he wants the truth to be told and things to be named as they should be. reporting from kiev in
12:04 am
ukraine. the ukrainian president has a radio agree to dissolve the government and council the anti running rules which were feuding the processed however protests is still blocking central kiev and want him to grant amnesty to those arrested during the riots and then step down and one expert believes the crowds are being emboldened by the tolerance all authority the video that i've seen thus far has been pretty limited so it's impossible to talk about the actual reaction collectively but the videos that i have seen have shown a remarkable level of restraint basically rioters attacking the police and the police not even fighting back just holding the line and receiving the petrol bombs and the strikes from it look like everything from of metal pipe to large sticks which is internationally very uncommon most police agencies will not stand there
12:05 am
and basically become punching bags for rioters it's pretty clear that when the crowd is that confident that they can be on the police and have nothing happen that they don't fear the police intervention pretty clearly and when crowds don't fear the police in my experience that causes the crowd to become much more dangerous much more active in property damage and assaults. and in today's crosstalk they guests can see that whether they took six one a chiton bent. they have shown extreme violence the opposition they've shown themselves to be very radical they've demanded of course the resignation of the president which they haven't yet attained violence is deplorable but when you're in a revolutionary situation it's inevitable that extremists get attracted to large scale demonstrations and the responsibility for creating that situation unfortunately lay with the government and president yannick over you know covert for better or worse he's making compromises he did over the weekend was rejected by
12:06 am
the opposition i mean what more do they want first we should remember that violence started back in december when all the lawyers riot police attacked peaceful demonstrators on november thirtieth but they tried to attack the presidential administration and you remember what how terrible was the fight there i'm not going to call these people protesters i'm going to call them now on artists. the u.s. president made fresh promises of a better life in his state of the union address and on his promises of world com batting financial inequality lowering taxes and once again closing guantanamo are ceaselessly catherine of looks at obama's latest pledges. a year of action that was the rallying cry from the u.s. president at the state of the union address here in washington but it does of course come at a time when action is anything but guaranteed it has been an incredibly difficult
12:07 am
year for this administration obama is facing some of the low to lowest voter approval ratings of his presidency and a divided congress that has effectively blocked him at nearly every churn and so this year we saw a president who seemed to frankly a knowledge his limitations he wasn't able to get the gun control measures he called for last year the same goes for tax reform immigration climate change closing guantanamo i mean the list of really does go on in fact according to some political scientists of forty one items that the president had asked for in a state of the union address only true he's been able to achieve so now obama did try to assert himself by vallon to sidestep congress on a number of issues for example using his executive power to raise the minimum wage for federal workers but on the big ticket items his hands really are tied obama needs congress to play ball and given the current climate on capitol hill it's simply not very likely that he's going to get it now this speech was very light on
12:08 am
foreign policy old obama did remind viewers that he's imposed limits on the use of drones and also promised again to reform u.s. surveillance but no details on how he planned to do all that the president did also mention ukraine saying the u.s. stands for the principle that all people have the right to express themselves freely and peacefully and have a say in their country's future so really coming out on the side of the protesters they're not really straying from the administration response over the past few weeks and so when it comes to the actual policy proposals really not much in terms of what's new we really are seeing obama sort of try to call yet again for many of the things he's called for before whether it's immigration reform the tax code overhaul things that he simply has not been able to achieve perhaps trying to to to hope that twenty fourteen will be the year that he'll be able to do it but also at the same time acknowledging his limitations that those promises won't necessarily turn to action. state of the union address comes as he faces
12:09 am
a rapid decline in public tranced recent polls show a set of the nation pessimistic about the rest of about his time in office u.s. journalist and national policy analyst norman so long believe the president's address is unlikely to change that basically what we had tonight it's a speech from the president which was a kind of hollow populism the rhetoric was there about wanting to help those who are in financial need but the programs and the proposals were basically absent this president had the least power than he's ever had since he was sworn in in january of two thousand and nine and one of the things is that wall street exercise the message power and presence in the obama administration during the first term and now with much less leverage or capacity to push anything through congress he's speaking about how he wants to achieve so much for the working people of the
12:10 am
country but in fact he has much less capacity to bring that about even if he were truly interested in accomplishing such things progress in a landmark nuclear deal between iran and other world powers is leading to optimism not only among politicians but in the business community to take it from in the states currently in tehran seeking to bring trade ties and many western companies are also ready to rush back in and while washington says they should hold off warning iran is not ready for business the reality already appears quite different as i say they're not going to score explaining. this could very well be the world's newest gold rush but in the not so wild east a population of some seventy five million people a youth literacy rate of ninety percent. and some of the world's largest oil and gas reserves in a country that's been isolated from the world for decades if this doesn't sound like a recipe for business but very little else well. right now iran is ready to host
12:11 am
invest in segments like building royal ways construction to oil production another industries linked with oil to iran appears to have fulfilled the first two requirements of the recent geneva agreement by halting production of high grade uranium and stopping its most powerful centrifuges now it's waiting for the other side in the talks to deliver on their promises and ease some of the sanctions iran's new president seems to be in with enthusiasm and determination to show his country's ready for a new era of business that feeds their own growth iran's economy has the potential to be in the top ten within the next three decades ago which i pursued through a wider planning of social economic as well as wider domestic and foreign policy well some investors may be looking into making a first ever foray into iran's market others like auto giant renault are eager to
12:12 am
get back to doing business in a familiar territory. ourselves and a lot of come when you factor in would love to contribute to the development of the ring in markets which is already the largest market in the middle east despite the sanctions those trading restrictions cost the french automotive company to write off five hundred million jews last year so it's understandably keen to get back to its previous ten percent market share in the country and even expand on other giants like. german siemens italy's any and norway started well all reportedly sending planeloads of representatives to iran eager to talk operation despite the fact the ink on the geneva agreement is barely dry after all anyone who knows business also knows the timing is crucial in a ghost r.t. . the us congress is still mulling more sanctions against iran but president obama in his state of the union address rita raters he would veto any attempts to do so
12:13 am
but to resume russia is a research there actually have been a showing in american companies believe that despite the u.s. leaders efforts the push for sanctions is far from over the president of the united states. together with the state department gone out and made a concerted effort to show members of congress that new sanctions right now would be destructive to the diplomatic process and it would show the international community of the problem lies primarily in washington as opposed to teheran but this problem is far from over you've only bought yourself a little bit of time and this kind of crisis could very well come back up bubble back up to the forefront sooner or later there has been a long standing and unproven argument not just from congress but especially from congress that sanctions have brought the iranians to the negotiating table so more sanctions will get america a better deal a lot of analysts and i saw that clearly dispute the notion that it was say that brought iran to the table what we need right now is to trade concessions on our end
12:14 am
for concessions on the iranian and that's how you win the peace we don't need to increase the cycle of escalation that brought us to the precipice of a war that's the worst possible thing that could happen right now. you know being is a rarity you follow from the decision making process in many countries in the u.k. it's become a day. you know making and officials regularly make the headlines for getting into bed with big money. coming out pretty late to fall back. to. new york to london. the whole world is on the whole.
