ukraine takes the forefront of security conference in munich. what does incitement of chris and the violent street protests have to do with promoting democracy russia's foreign minister himself at the e.u. . view of the rights that have split the country down the middle. east no food nothing to eat or drink to militants are inside as well on the soul of the prophet we want this to stop. visits a starving rebel held palestinian refugee camp in syria that received its first food aid in months after dozens of people have died from hunger. flame goes to the top of europe's highest peak just a stone's throw from its final destination toward brand the. courseware cross

country skiers and biathletes will be racing for gold in just a matter of days. this is not international live from our studio center here in moscow where just past eight pm and five pm in munich where europe has been taking a one sided view of the turmoil plaguing ukraine that's the point russia's foreign minister has been hammering home as he addressed a global security forum in the city. is that. crain the situation there is definitely one of the key issues on the table here in munich and one of the first things that russia's foreign minister lavrov talked about was the situation in fact he criticized the way the european union and the west so far have been dealing with the situation there and their approach what does inside them and of recently

violent street protests have to do with promoting democracy why don't we hear condemnation of those who seize and hold government buildings and the police torture the police use racist anti semitic and nazi slogans lie on many prominent european politicians actually encouraging such actions will go back home quickly to surely punish any violations of the law now one of the first meetings that took place here in munich last night was the one between one of the leaders of the queen opposition arsenius enugu and to the german president and even though the president's post here in germany is to somewhat of a formal position many still saw it as a hint that ukraine would take up much of the talks here and we know that mr isa nuke is also scheduled to meet separately with u.s. secretary of state john kerry while ukrainian officials who are also taking part in the conference they're not scheduled to meet with any of these people individually

and many are criticizing these countries for perhaps conducting this one sided approach to the situation clearly syria is one of the most important issues talked about right now since so well the first attempt to get both sides of the car for to sit down and negotiate peacefully has just happened to enter geneva and mr weber of commented on the latest statements coming out of washington that syria after all these are so far in the feeling with the agreements on the chemical arms deal he said this is really right now no time for him. altered made also the foreign minister remind you that this year the world is going to mark one hundred years since the start of the first world war the war and said that everyone has to remember what policies of national exceptionalism. and called on europe and on the united states are real cern to the policy of building one joint one joint world

peace and collaboration once again saying that until russia receives guarantees from of the u.s. it's still going to see its plans for the anti-missile defense system in europe as a potential threats to its national security team of the usa could you state john kerry has reiterated that washington stands with the people of ukraine the latest polls show only a third of them are in favor of the habit that's been plaguing kiev and the country's western regions political analyst alexander public believes the support shown by the us for the riots is all about geopolitics. now we have the nato general secretary. making more and more comments in this regard again favoring the protesters of course the ukraine is is geo political prize par excellence if you're moving east towards iraq obviously made you feel you have the cold war

more than one. thing here it seems like yes justified this is not anything new for the west to play in the real politic have nothing to do with you the law. much to you right now to geo political interests and people are just being used as pawns unfortunately. and as discussions continue in munich we'll be bringing you the latest updates on air and online at all t.v. dot com. some of the government in the opposition failing to reach a consensus on the syrian crisis there's no letup in the miserable plight of refugees around eight hundred thousand people in the palestinian camps south of damascus remain besieged by rebels food aid was fun and able to reach the area yesterday after months of waiting but at least fifty five people have died there from hunger or visited the site. another battleground of the brutal syrian war in the very heart of the country and at the edge of the regime stronghold this is

your new cullison and camp here in damascus that has been held by the militants for more than a year now we are not allowed to go any further because their military people who are controlling situation here on the ground told us that the ras not a person and the raw armed man you are and this building but it's not only from bullets that people here are dying when we visit dozens already said to have died from starvation a year after the siege began food and water supplies a role but gone there's no food nothing to eat or drink the militants are inside i swear on the cell of the prophet we want this to stop whatever guilty we just want to go out they want to go out but they can't they're trapped those holding the camp only allow women and elderly men to go out briefly to bring in food

a distributed by the syrian and palestinian officials together with the un their families remain inside so they have to return to the besieged camp and arrest that well we're talking to one of their like resident and old man behind those collapses to the ground at all no one could tell us exactly why was there of the. my god who are dying from hunger we can't take this anymore. humanitarian aid is the only achievement so far i ask those responsible how they know the food they deliver will not fall into the militants hands they say no one can give any going t. . siege has become a popular tactic among rebel forces here in syria just recently we went to the industrial city of outside damascus according to army generals at least five thousand tremaine trapped their sieges serve well to weaken an army has

capabilities keeping a large forces tied up for long periods of time but they have another go to. your own. they claim the syrian government is besieging the palestinians in the camp they want to invert the truth by saying the syrian government is part of the killing force as they don't do anything to protect the people they want the people to hit the regime. accusations over the next of the syrian authorities allowed indeed government officials blame the militants for infiltrating into the cities in the first place and complain they can do little to fight back now in civilians could be hurt and thousands of ordinary people all over syria remain hostage inside their own homes waiting for help. already three years into this conflict that could prove very long way to indeed refreshing r.t.

from syria. meanwhile the u.s. is challenge the syrian government over its commitment to chemical disarmament us secretary of state warned damascus of possible military action if it misses the deadlines to destroy its arsenal must go responded by insisting such rhetoric only can put the process hey mr breton golden is a former officer in the british army's chemical defense regiment says chemical disarmament in a war zone such as syria is a the middletons there are always been great for doing this is a hugely ambitious plan and with the lead of the russian federation and us we just wouldn't be here the majority of these chemicals and precursors are pretty much stock north of damascus we know the sort of fighting that's going on in the contested areas has to go through and there's a big you know i still battle going on just twenty five dollars for an attack here there are many sides to this and the opposition do not appear to be helping. realize that u.n.

resorting to the practice for their basic needs is put has been finding out. some people do it for a dad others might have a physical compulsion when i could be part of a larger crime network but up until now few people in britain were doing it out of necessity i'm talking about shoplifting. people they don't even a small going big thing even expensive or cheap or what they do they just grab the bar and they walk out according to the british retail consortium theft from shops is not a nine year high and the biggest increase has been food theft the police say there's a link between welfare cuts unemployment and shoplifting we're seeing people choosing to shoplift to maintain their previous life still on diminishing budgets and police forces approve actively targeting shoplifters we have a sixteen. if you can see on the ceiling to here. for over the

one that would be. if you keep looking further down the. government critics say that it's cuts to welfare payments that are pushing previously or abiding citizens into so-called poverty crime over the past several months police forces have been criticized for being too lenient on women especially in mothers who of course shoplifting items that they simply can't afford to buy essential items like nappies and baby food life is so hard that the more. people live to see. what they do. but the bottom that speaks to retailers here in the u.k. says that that is far from a victimless crime last year alone the losses to industry over five hundred million pounds as

a result they say that shops like this one go bust and communities. time now for more news from around the world antigovernment protests are heating up in the thai capital with at least two blasts and dozens of government shots at least six people have been wounded as supporters of the country's prime minister clashed with her opponents incident happened off the demonstrators blockaded the building where ballot papers were being stored the violence is spiraling ahead of sunday's general election which the opposition's vowed to boycott and disrupt. people being killed and three others injured on indonesia's western island of sumatra after a volcano erupted again. unleashed fresh. and searing gas engulf nearby homes just one day after authorities allowed thousands of villagers to return to their land saying it was safe officials now for the death toll will rise the volcano has been active with small eruptions since september after three

admitted it paid some students to defend its policies on social networks or now it's using facebook rather than direct face to face meetings to ask the public what it wants explains. there's a new kind of politics blowing through cyberspace the parliaments on facebook and its users are the legislators it's very simple citizens right in the page what they want to change and sometimes even better if they write how and we take the commons and choose and pick a member of parliament that is there is suitable to that. issue we are doing a lobby a lobby for the citizens with its ears to the ground this user generated democracy is turning citizens into politicians for a long time not everyone have was fed up with the high cost of renting in tel aviv she posted about it her suggestions metamorphosed into

a bull to regulate real estate agents fees it's now a vote away from becoming law i think it's definitely a more direct way it's up to the government and they're actually listening and they're doing things in it which is amazing rather than feeling threatened by this new brand of cyber activists more and more politicians are seeing the potential of partnering with their constituents online within that the public should be a partner in creating policy in legislation social media is a very very powerful to in politics this will be a mini revolution in everything. to the connections between us and the public which right now is not enough is not good enough the next bill's already in the making granting single mothers cheaper life insurance the social media i think will be the next platform of the politics all over the world it might have been the ancient greeks who introduced the world to democracy but today's generation is one click away from perfecting it paul asli r.t.

tell of of. but it's almost time for big bankers to run for cover because my colleague max kaiser is on air here on naughty international in just a few minutes that's after this short break i'll be back with more news. i've always had mixed feelings about speed traps it seems like it's a waste of the police officers time but on the other hand they sure do make people paranoid and drive more slowly one man from texas is completely sure of his opinion about speed traps and he set out to save his felt texans from being fined for speeding and much more importantly from potential traffic accidents caused by the hidden police and now he's the one who's in deep trouble according to fox news ron martin faces a misdemeanor charge for violating frisco texas sign ordinance that says that you may only stand around holding a sign on private property martin claims that he was doing the exact same thing as

a speed limit sign reminding people to slow down and i think ultimately he is right you should be able to tell other people where the police are setting up speed traps because that will cause them to drive more slowly which is the real goal of speed traps in the first place the only reason local authorities would be against this is because they love the income that comes from a nice big pile of speeding tickets i hope that mr martin finds a way to go right back to holding his sign but this time on private property but that's just my opinion. and. how do you operate dillon but i'm going to the most good sports such. as proof. the copy. is on. my.

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser. the whole economy is jumping around tripping. but global financial flows back to two thousand and seven when the bankers first drop the acid trip called the liquidity crisis which led to the financial crash and burn which led to the in their central banks dropping wads of cash well astral planing from their imaginary helicopter and saying one print makes you larger and one paper makes you smile and the money that china gives you doesn't do anything at all go away as just. when she's ten feet tall yes it's been a whole round trip nowhere. yes max a lot of. thing is going on the first headline here china trade puzzle revived as

hong kong data diverged china's trade numbers distorted by fake exports last year are set to come under renewed scrutiny after discrepancy between hong kong and chinese figures for bilateral trade widened to the largest in eight months so hong kong's december imports from china fell one point nine percent from last year and yet china's data show is that it grew by two point three percent so there's a huge divergence there so many madonna non-con are playing this round trip game where they're doing all kinds of accounting fraud sounds like you know lehman brothers and. the federal reserve bank of yes has like repo one five deal they crashed lehman brothers now they do say that there were maybe a lot of faith invoices that were used to conjure up these data but the other thing where they talk about the round tripping they say another possible explanation for the discrepancy is round shipping of goods that are export from china to hong kong

and then back to the mainland australia and new zealand banking group ltd said in a report yesterday the round shipping trade has become an avenue to fuel china's cap. well inflows as a current account may have been quote improperly used as an alternative way of liquidity injection economist lewdly gang and raymond young wrote so they're using this as a kind of quantitative easing the fake trade they're actually putting things on boats maybe and sending it to australia and sending it back in order to make things look like their stuff is happening accounting fraud is the new opium they go into accounting fraud and stoke up a ball of. accounting fraud yeah baby let's get on that accounting for a crouching account of leaping tiger of. pork i think. so you know it also is a reminds me of the round trip to two thousand and seven when the liquidity crisis began we're seeing this over and over and noticed in the news as you look around

this notion of liquidity there's a liquidity problem around the world and that's what you first saw in two thousand and seven before the giant crash of two thousand and eight of the financial markets in the banks collapsing in the u.k. there reporting growth ok we don't know if the figures are based on a round trip in from china we don't know but what part of the growth from last year and you know mark carney and george osborne have been celebrating the fact that the u.k. economy is growing but i want to remind people that it's a lot of round tripping of our own cash that was stolen from us because this first headline is from august of two thousand and thirteen last year p.p.i. compensation spurs the car to be three spending booze banks have inadvertently provided to boost the economy through the vast compensation payments made to customers who are missile payment protection insurance so last year they gave ten billion pounds to the economy which was promptly spent because people felt it was free money hey you guys still one hundred billion for me and now you're giving me ten.
