this is why you should watch only. national it's in clear take the revolution into their own hands saying they're fed up with the lack of determination among the opposition said big deep roots of ethnic disputes in ukraine and there will be live in kiev and just a few miles but. the u.s. president delivers new promises for a better future in his state of the union speech but poll suggests the public no longer trust him to follow through on his words. and business bonanza foreign companies are ready to rush back into iran taking advantage of the partial suspension of sanctions flying last year's historic new their agreement that.

this is asking to national coming here live from moscow i am you know sure of our thanks for joining us. nationalists say they're now taking charge of the attempted revolution in ukraine because they are unhappy with the opposition's leadership one senior member of the so-called right sector movement says the aims of the more moderate activists or to beg among the groups ideas is to reject the e.u. stablish a ukrainian only state and aussies peter on about isn't here right now for us let's go live to him peter it looks like the president over ukraine is trying to reach a middle ground there can we say the same about the protesters. well that middle ground that you say the president victory on a covert has been trying to reach that it's taken the form of a series of concessions that he offered to the opposition jury negotiations with their leadership now the last of those concessions which is an amnesty for for

anybody who's been detained by police during the violence that we saw in the streets here of kiev and across the rest of ukraine that will be voted on in parliament later on wednesday but the what we're hearing from those on the barricades that are just a stone's throw or a way really about about two hundred meters away from that road a building there telling me last night that even if they do get vote for this amnesty well it's not going to be enough the group right sector who are on the streets of kiev here are calling for a full blown revolution in the country and those sentiments are being echoed somewhat in the parliament by politicians like. the leader of the the freedom party here and they are nationalist supporter so what we are seeing is that the nationals game their voices in the parliament as well as we see in those groups on the streets calling for a full on revolution now they have been it's claimed responsible for some of the

worst violence that we've seen during the problems here in kiev including that we are hearing of attacks on. minorities here and by right wing extremist groups and nationalist organizations now the the the history of this this movement these nationalist movements in ukraine goes way back and my colleague alexey had a share ski takes a look at some of those deep roots of nationalism here in ukraine. chef ski barely remembers the horrific events of nine hundred forty three when ukrainian insurgents going to slaughter his village in western ukraine but the most tragic things live well in his memory. is one of them car. up and shot from close range there was a huge noise a bullet hit an ear with 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 troops were extremely gruesome people cut in pieces with a saw one thousand and forty three in a bottle conducted a total ethnic cleansing crane that is to destroy a living on a territory they consider their property after the bowling slaughter of the murders of both continued in the walls of the internet open region just over there were grainy and try to help them provide them with shelter 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 and 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 the my john cleary guarding him as a hero of 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 murders which haven't been prosecuted well at all and spawning writers standing at his father's grave must laugh in a machete 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 ukraine. the ukrainian president has a right to agree to dissolve the government and council the anti iranian norms which refuting the protest however protest is a still blocking central kiev and want him to grant amnesty to those arrested

during the riots on balance step down and want to explode believes the crowds have been emboldened by the tone of their sources that. 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 metal pipe to large sticks which is internationally very uncommon most police agencies will not stand there 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 in assaults and in today's crosstalk with a gas can see that whether they tactics ease by the press has on the streets of the ukrainian capital what it a miss. 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 obtained volunteers to poor boy 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 you know covert for better or worse he's making compromises he did over the weekend it was rejected by the opposition i mean what more do they want first we should remember that why one 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 neal not. the u.s. president made fresh promises of a better life in his state of the union address he pledged to combat inequality lower taxes and once again close guantanamo but as he is lisa catherine of proposals obama has a history of saying that's not doing a year of action and 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 year for this administration obama's facing some of the load at the lowest voter approval ratings of his presidency and a divided congress that is effectively blocked him at nearly every charge and so this year we saw a president who seem to frankly acknowledge his limitations he was. measures he

called for last year the same goes for tax reform immigration climate change closing guantanamo bay 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 vowing 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 this speech was very light on 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 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 do 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. as state of the union address comes as he faces a rapid decline in public trust recent polls show a third of the nation pessimistic about the rest of obama's term in office and national policy analyst norman solomon believes 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 has the least power that he's ever had since he was sworn in in january of two thousand and nine and one of the sad things is that wall street exercise from s.s. 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 country but in fact he has much less capacity to bring that about even if he were truly interested in accomplishing such things. progress on a landmark nuclear deal between iran and all the world powers is leading to

optimism not only among politicians but in the business community texas prime minister is currently in tehran seeking to boost trade ties and many western companies are also ready to rush back in and while washington says they should hold all wearing a warning iran is not yet ready for business the reality already appears quite different as all his arena going to come explains. 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 up 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 invest in segments like building roadways row construction oil production another industries linked with oil iran has. lots of resources and these

resources need investment technology capability so when the sanctions are over. western a service companies are allowed to go and i think there will be plenty of potential to run 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 figure out 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 ron's market others like auto giant reno are eager to get

back to doing business in a familiar territory. ourselves and all of come when you factor and would love to contribute to the development of the iranian market which is already the largest market in the middle east despite the sanctions those trading rejections caused the french automotive company to write off five hundred million jews last year those understandably keen to get back to its previous ten. market share in the country and even expand on other giants like. german siemens italy's any and norway you start to well are reportedly sending planeloads of representatives to iran eager to talk conflagration 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 town r.t. . the us congress is still mulling most sanctions against iran but president obama in his state of the union address earlier reiterated he would veto any attempts to

do so but resume russia has a recession erects at the national iranian american companies believes that displayed the u.s. leaders efforts to push for sanctions is far from that president of the united states. together with the state department going 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 rather than 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 myself included dispute the notion that it was sagan's that brought iran to the table what we need right now is to trade concessions on our end

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 the writing fall from the decision making process in many countries when they in the u.k. it's become a dad who was filmmakers and official regularly made the headlines for getting into bed with the money man well that's coming up for you later in the fall well after the break. of the. it was
