this is why you should care what you only. ukraine's parliament is for beijing an amnesty for detaining anti-government protesters but the radical right wing rioters they refuse to accept the conditions and beat the street. but you as president take the fight to the republicans annual state of the union address but his promises to close guantanamo and tackle poverty bring the empty full stomach to idea of legislative stalemate. glad to see wrongs done to have long kids the business world for big shot hoping to be the first to cash in on opportunities following the partial lifting of sanctions . and we continue to glance behind the scenes of the spectacular event news of the source yellin pickpocket this time scaling new heights also read as ready to

stage battles limpid gold. is already international we coming live from our moscow you with me tom would say it's good to have you company with us this evening ukrainian lawmakers about to vote on an amnesty for those arrested during the antigovernment riots and protests all the pos once this vote could mark a turning point in the ongoing unrest for the no to take effect demonstrators will have to leave the streets and take down their barricades something the more radical writers are refusing to do it all of our reports now from kiev. around a thousand people on independence square just behind me also over on the barricades in a stadium where we saw some of the fiercest fighting well that middle ground 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 to go see a sions with 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. about about two hundred meters away from that rugged building they telling me last night that even if they do get a 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 jaring the problems here in kiev including that we are hearing of attacks on. minorities those sentiments are being echoed somewhat in the parliament by politicians like oh you know balkanized the

leader of the the freedom party here and a nationalist supporter 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 my shift key barely remembers the horrific events of nine hundred forty three when ukrainian insurgence came to slaughter his village in western ukraine but the most tragic things live well in his memory. one of them caught off and shot from close range there was a huge noise a bullet hit an ear with a touch the temple my mom fell down she was unconscious the blood was everywhere they thought and saw her 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 our troops were extremely gruesome people cut in pieces with a saw nine hundred forty three conducted a total ethnic cleansing. that is to destroy a living on a territory they consider their property after the voting slaughter murders of the cold. war of the. regions of the word green try to help. 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 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 the

my john are clearly 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 haven't been prosecuted will always spawn new murders standing at his father's grave near slough you know musharraf 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 ukraine the ukrainian president has already agreed to dissolve the government and cancel the n.t. reading laws which we're hearing the protests but the demonstrators are still demanding he steps down see why a former u.s. police chief and police training expert says the crowds are being in bold and 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 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 and it's pretty clear that when the crowd is that confident that they can beat 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 while today's call stop debate whether the tactics used by the protesters on the streets of the ukrainian capital will legitimate. 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 janak over you know covert 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 thirst 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 has once again promised to close the guantanamo bay prison and bypass congress if needed to help lift people out of poverty but if that is the captain of

reports his state of the union address is being seen as more of a bare bones wish list than a meeting plan of action. 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 the 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 up the 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 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 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 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 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 coliseum 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. obama's state of the union address comes as he faces a rapid decline in public trust recent polls show a third of the nation is pessimistic about the rest of his term in office u.s. journalist and national policy analyst norman solomon says the president's address is i'm likely 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 tremendous 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 you were truly interested in accomplishing such things. big businesses are beginning to circle around the wrong as progress on the historic nuclear deal promises to unless the country's dollars of comet turkey is setting the pace with its entrepreneurs planning to invest fifteen million euros in to run a prime minister everyone also wants to be straight but some critics are urging the companies to rein in their appetite for profit so we know that this will find out why. 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 well. right now iran is ready to host investors in segments like building royal ways construction oil production another industries linked with oil iran has. lots of resources and these resources need investment technology and capability so when the sanctions are over and. western a set of companies are allowed to go in i think there will be plenty of potential tirant 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 feed 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 iran's market others like auto giant renault are eager to 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 iranian market 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 french german siemens italy's any and norway's stand to oil are reportedly sending planeloads of representatives to iran eager to talk cooperation despite the fact the ink on the geneva agreement is barely dry after all anyone who knows business also knows the timing is crucial if you go score r.t. . well some hawks in the u.s. congress don't share the first brawls of optimism over the run and i instead nothing will sanctions barack obama though reiterated any such initiative would have to deal with his presidential veto reason rashi who's a research director at the national iranian american companies things the push to increase the cycle of pressure is leading to a dead end. 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 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 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. still to come on the program cross my halls and hope to die politicians and scandal plagued with to

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 of 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 that 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 to 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 that we're concerned about is things which aren't quite so clear cut
