this is why you should care only. nationalists in kiev and take the revolution into their own hands and saying they're fed up with determination among the opposition looks at the deep roots. in ukraine. the us president delivers new promises for better future in his state of the union speech a poll suggests the public no longer trust him to follow through on his words. and a business plans of foreign companies are ready to rush back into the one taking advantage of the partial suspension of sanctions last year's historic nuclear agreement.

has just been passed to pm here in the russian capital you'll have with us on our chief international i'm to bunk with. the ukrainian parliament has started a session that could mark a turning point but the protests that have crippled the country's capital lawmakers will be voting on an amnesty for those detained during the riots opposition demonstrators have promised to me the streets if it's possible to all of the reports now from kiev around a thousand people on independence square just behind me also over on the barricades in the stadium where we saw some of the fiercest fighting well that middle ground the president picked the 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 to go see a sions we 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 in kiev and across the rest of ukraine that will be voted on in parliament later on wednesday

basically the government is saying that they put forward an amnesty for anybody who's being detained as long as demonstrate is leave government buildings that have been occupied to remove themselves from barricades 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 they 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 they have been it's claimed responsible for some of the worst violence that we've seen during the problems here in kiev including the week we're hearing of attacks on. minorities those sentiments are being echoed somewhat in the parliament by politicians like. balkanized the leader of the freedom party here on the nationalist supports the the history of this this

movement these nationalist movements in ukraine goes way back and my colleague alexey out of takes a look at some of those deep roots of nash. well as i'm here in ukraine. the u.s. left in my chef ski barely remembers the horrific events of nine hundred forty three when ukrainian insurgents came to slaughter his village in western ukraine but the most tragic things live well in his memory. is one of them caught up and shot from close range there was a huge noise a bullet hit an ear with it touched the temple my mom fell down she was unconscious the blood was everywhere they thought and so were 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 a total ethnic cleansing of holes in ukraine that is to destroy a living on a territory they considered the property of the devolving slaughter of the murders of both continued walls of the internal pain region of the worry craniums we try to help them provide 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 step on when there is still pretty much tearing the country apart while many call him an a killer and cannot forgive the atrocities his movement had committed some at the mike john cleary guarding him as a hero warsaw has been supportive of ukraine's protesters all along despite

a chunk of the radical right there is supporting the man who brought so much pain to the polish nation unpunished miners which been haven't. prosecuted will always spawn new murders standing at his father's grave from us laughter musharraf says he feels no hate towards ukrainians but he wants the truth to be told and things to be named as they should be moot. reporting from key of ukraine the ukrainian president has already agreed to dissolve the government and cancel the n.t. reading laws which refuting of the protests however protesters are so blocking central kiev and want him to step down steve i james is a former deputy chief of police in the us and then expert in international police training he believes the constant actually being emboldened by the tolerance of the authorities the videos that i have seen have shown a remarkable level of restraint basically rioters attacking the police and the

police move in 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 where the 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 well in today's cross talk of i guess consider whether the tactics used by the protesters on the streets of the queen and capital well it it to me it. they have shown extreme violence the opposition they have 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 you know coverts for better or worse he's making compromises he did over the weekend was rejected by the opposition i mean what more do they want to we should remember that the violence started back in december one of 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 an artist. the u.s. president made fresh promises of a better life in his state of the union address he pledged to combat financial inequality lowered taxes and to once again close guantanamo but as i do you see

catherine of reports obama has a history of say but not doing. 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 and has been an incredibly difficult 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 president who seem to frankly a knowledge whose 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 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 two he's been able to achieve so now obama did

try to assert himself by value 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 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 plans 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 call see 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 is 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 obama's state of the union address comes as he faces a rep it decline in public trust recent polls show a third all over the nation pessimistic about the rest of obama's term in office was shown alyson national policy analyst and norman solomon now 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 had 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 a massive power 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 you were truly interested in accomplishing such things. why lobbying is rarely thought from the decision making process in many countries but in the u.k. it's become a dirty word no make as and officials when they make the headlines for getting into bed with the money men one that's coming up for you later in the program. progress on a landmark nuclear deal between iran and the world policy is

a leading to optimism not only among politicians but in the business community too turkey's prime minister is currently in tehran seeking to please change time and many western companies are also ready to rush back and while washington says they should hold off warning iran is not yet ready for business and reality already appears quite different as our two theories are going to school expand. 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 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 will. be right now iran is ready to host invest in segments like building railways construction oil production another industries linked with oil iran has. lots of resources. and these

resources need investment and technology and capability so when the sanctions are over. western a service company is allowed to go in 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 countries are ready for a new era of business to 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 while 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 us 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 restrictions caused the french automotive company to write off five hundred million dollars last year so it's understandably keen to get back to its previous temp. cent market share in the country and expand on other giants like. german siemens italy's any and norway stand too well are reportedly sending planeloads of representatives to iran eager to talk conflagration despite the fact the incoming geneva agreement is dry after all anyone who knows business also knows the timing is crucial in the congress come party. while the u.s. congress is still mulling more sanctions against iran but president obama in his state of the union address earlier reiterated he would veto any attempt to do so

but reason rashi who's a research director at the national iranian american companies believes that despite the u.s. leaders efforts to push for sanctions it's 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 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 it would 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 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. one is off of the breaking arch international including a look at how the conflict in the central african republic is spreading beyond its borders. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's

election campaigns but that doesn't stop the widespread attempts to buy government influence at all other times often ending in scandal at artie's laura smith reports . being exerting influence or no make is this become something of a dirty word around westminster methods of lobbying according to the parliament website can include sending letters and making presentations of course it doesn't mention lobbying m.p.'s awards of cash but it's the scandal that lobbying is most famous for officials taking cash for questions cash for cameron a quarter of a mill to have dinner with the pm and cash for doing parliamentary work course in the sunday times staying westminster is so scandal ridden that the standards watchdog and its chairman lord you have decided m.p.'s need special training to help them not to abuse their position so it seems pretty obvious to me the n.p.c.

shouldn't be for example accepting cash to ask questions in parliament or selling time with the prime minister why isn't the obvious two m.p.'s themselves well you're talking about things there which are at the extreme end of the behavior and one of the things we're concerned about is things which aren't quite so clear cut where people find themselves at morally unpopular drugs certain or difficult situations or unpredictable situations disk committee has a long term role and the long term rule is to defend certain ethical principles of selflessness take all the city openness of public life. we're looking at ways to actually promulgated those principles throughout the public sector see them properly embedded back in two thousand and nine david cameron said lobbying would be the next big scandal and sure enough the stories keep coming and the latest example experts who are advising the government told sugar consumption have been
