more from. later on this hour for a moment to have been been accusations of the use of life by both sides in the conflict protesters are well armed but it's unclear just where they fire arms from they're also using grenades fire wire and molotov cocktails against law enforcers others through rocks welded to baseball bats and metal rods attempts were also made to ram trucks through police cordons foreign affairs expert says those behind the protests are deliberately iran paying out the violence that. destroys atlanta school and industry supply and bush the people behind the demonstrations and behind it are just organized in order to push the government into finally to be treating the demonstrators as we did years for an instrument matter how hard a government trying to appease them. and i think this was a part of the push to going for broke and you know there for three months you know

they need to show some results and they decided to do so i do going to be victory or death and they don't really care needs or dies in the process. russia has had a mob violence in ukraine and called on their sources in kiev to resolve the crisis by whatever means they see fit has now crossed. over the details. president spoke over the phone with his ukrainian counterpart any word on what was actually said well yes absolutely there have been some speculations about the subject matter of the conversation however at the presidential spokesman it was called has unveiled that your intentions of russia are never to meddle in ukrainian or any other internal politics have a listen. whether you know we come bring the grab right now about western forces have been strongly

supporting the ukraine opposition right how are they reacting to the latest violence that. well just to reiterate what the presidential spokesman has said just let me backtrack a little bit of did say that russia of course is definitely concerned with what's happening in ukraine but it has never been the policy of the russian president to give advice or directions to anyone and again ukrainian president is a grown man he is a leader of his country and therefore everything that is happening in ukraine should be solved by the people who live there including the government and the opposition without any international meddling unfortunately this is definitely does does not seem to be the viewpoint of the western politicians or official figures we have already heard from representatives of germany and france that they are ready to talk. against ukraine and not just general sanctions but targeted personal sanctions probably meaning the governmental officials also there has been

a statement from the. from moneygall barroso who has also expressed similar intentions. that was. live in moscow thank you very much and let's now look back at how the situation unfolded in kiev on tuesday when violence returns to the ukrainian capital for us the opposition rally be crowds and them is not limited to grab a flurry of talk as though it's a little. trouble began when radical protesters broke through police lines and the situation escalated even further one riot has tried to storm the office of ukraine's ruling party setting it on fire police struggled to contain the thousands of protesters throwing rocks and molotov cocktails some even used trunks to break through the security cordon three people were killed becoming the victims of the street violence which continued to escalate and less than two hours later

a police officer died one protesters attacked security forces and while the rest has also spread to regional centers in western ukraine rioters have seized local government buildings and police stations in the cities of loot and ivana from coffs while a new wall of original sorties have responded in overnight a theft of communication from local police officers reported i should say rioters that torched the regional prosecutor's office and stormed an internal ministry security base with thirty members of the military being badly hurt as a result and brian becker is the director of the anti was a coalition he says the violence is being massively stirred up from abroad. the united states and nato and the e.u. together are using their combined forces to signal these demonstrators that we are with you and of course that emboldens them and john kerry and the e.u.

and the nato leadership and the obama administration are neck deep in now a plan to carry out regime change in this extremely important part of europe trying to integrate a former soviet republic into the e.u. and of course into nato ultimately i think the united states government is playing a dirty game another dirty game they're trying to do what they've been doing for the last twenty years which is to incorporate all of the former socialist countries in the eastern and social and central european bloc those that were aligned with the soviet union into an american western nato sphere of influence and you can see it it's going systematically and ukraine is a big prize it's a big country with a very big military and it's right on russia's border. and right now we are able to bring it all he's an expat a chef k. who is in kiev right now had attics a friends on a concrete tab and that in chaos so both going on what are you saying that.

well i would describe the tension is now a smoldering just as the tires and all other things which are burning at the barricades at the independence square day my dad it's not as violent as it was on tuesday and during the night time during the night it was pretty violent we saw flash bangs explode all the side mode of call tell startled at the police we're doing here sometimes though at the moment flashbacks are being excluded and probably the scary you see at the end of times square is the former labor union house which was my body opposition as a revolution headquarters which is almost completely burnt it's the building is old black right now and still fires coming out several windows of this building is still an unpredictable situation because the police line is literally twenty meters away from the protesters and. the police will actually trying to storm the

independence square that there is information that they may attempt if no solution is found it doesn't see that a new solution is going to be found in the nearest future being while the ukrainian capital itself is a complete lockdown old essential roads are blocked by the police i had a very hard time just traveling around the city just a few hours ago as well as the underground the the subway system is also not working creating a huge problem for the residents to going to work at things like this it was pretty much a war zone now and spreading not only from you know i'm not being a result it's only just essential part of the city but to the whole city as well i would say that. how have the ukrainian authorities reacted to the violence that to the bloodshed in kiev.

ukraine's authorities the president held more than two hour talks with the opposition last night about it still it was brought no result whatsoever and it's the first time since the start of the conflict which when i heard the president on approach was using some hard bullets statements like for instance you know there is still time left to find the solutions to just probably that this time would run out at some point you still called on all these sides to find some sort of compromise a peaceful solution to end the bloodshed but at the same time he laid the blame for the latest string of violence screenwriting integrate directly on the opposition and said that some of the opposition politicians must go on trial for what is happening here since this is tuesday with at least twenty five people already killed including one journalist a local newspaper who was shot dead with a gunshot wound to just last night so this is definitely terrible for ukraine even compared to what was happening in january here at the governmental quarter things

are much much worse now and we are obviously following the situation to see where it goes here in kiev but so far no one can do any kind of predictions on where it is going to lead to false he's an exterior shots kate live back from kiev and say thank you very much and we do apologize for those long delays in our conversation as well and of course we are closely watching the developments in kiev and will be keeping you up to date on all the latest news from that online team is providing a live minute by minute by line all they both have to ask dot com they have today. the german chancellor angela merkel is taking hope project of crating and e.u. only internet to france and the hope of getting president to bond with that idea the european communications network is designed to prevent user data from leaking

across the atlantic but as lucy covered of reports the toss could prove far more difficult than it seems keeping european online communications within here and it's an idea that's gained traction amid revelations of widespread u.s. buying and now the german chancellor is on board. but talk of european providers that offer security for our citizens so that one shouldn't have to send e-mails and other information across the atlantic rather one could build up a communication network inside europe that's. the size and scope of american surveillance has outraged european leaders especially on glimmer of gold because cell phone was allegedly tapped although germany is one of america's closest allies documents leaked by the former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden show it was treated as a third class partner spied on at levels similar to china and saudi arabia to put that in perspective the n.s.a.

watched twenty million german phone connections and ten million internet data sets on an average day tapping only two million connections and friends during the same time give her all the fury merkel's initiative may have want to do with anger at home her government has been seen as lax on u.s. spying and snowden revealed cooperation between countries may have been closer than german indignation with indicate. america doesn't really. believe a plan. it doesn't seem that the conservative party is concerned with protection of the data of citizens at all it seems to be a point of pressure. put forward to the united states. but it's unclear what the actual purpose of this idea is merkel has been pushing the us for a relationship similar to the so-called five eyes agreement reached after the second world war i deal between english speaking countries not to spy on one

another but the white house isn't playing ball there's no country where we have a no spy ring now it appears that germany is going on the offensive with plans for counter espionage against western allies as for merkel's internet proposal while the devil is in the details currently a message sent from one online user to another could have a long journey before it reaches its destination although the german government hasn't released specifics the european networks could potentially allow data to bypass that route but is that realistic well for one the internet is a global network walling it off in europe goes against the concept of a world wide web what's more different european countries have different laws on privacy so a shared policy would need to be adopted for a europe wide scheme to work and there's a bigger issue it's not going to stop the n.s.a. let's put it that way. the n.s.a. goes where the data it is is the n.s.a. compiled text messages that

a telecommunications networks in china they can probably manage to get facebook messages out of germany moving the data isn't fixing the problem securing the data is the problem a problem that will take more than tough talk to fix reporting in berlin for r t m d c catherine of. coming up later this hour abandoned today economic life. when we entered the. they made golden promises and told us we're gonna eat from golden students but they never kept to their word the bomb is in crisis head greek stage a motorcade protests claiming financial aid from the european lenders has failed to make their lives any easier they send more that. there's a medium leave us so we leave that maybe. by the sea pushing securely play your

international welcome by limping glory kept in the family russian funds a celebration to podium finishes and the giant slalom snowboarding won by members of the same family vic wilde originally from america was and the civil and the man's paolo event the snowboarder won that gold just minutes after his russian wife alina as it was in clinched bronze in the same discipline but for women also he caught up with the lucky couple before they began their quest for the olympic podium. without any good funding in the united states and that wasn't going to reach the goals that i wanted. it was an opportunity to get. you know to be able to do what i wanted to do to me he brought the new out is also because he is away his way with more aggressive than i am maybe

a little more aggressive more like a more of a more of a boss if you if you will and. he made me engage in in whatever i'm doing and do it one hundred percent. meanwhile there's only a matter of minutes before russia's ice hockey team takes to the rink for an olympic quarterfinal facing a stern test against finland mon they have come a showdown from our correspondent and her from. binion deception in the world rankings one place ahead of russia and in my opinion i think russia will have to improve on their performance that they. showed against norway yesterday i know they won that for nothing but they were only two up with sixty seven seconds left and they did seem to struggle to break down that norwegian side and even the defense defenseman for russia under markoff said as much after the match but the russian fans we spoke to aren't so you can say we're hoping for a big win even if we don't get

a high score we still expect victory the team is doing a great job i support it no matter what it will be a tough match but russia will win go to russia now hardly a day goes past when i'm not talking about russian figure skaters such as the strength in depth for them and today we will see that best emerging talent in the ladies short program fifteen year old unit skier takes to the ice again after helping russia win gold in the team event well sure i was very nervous and scared but the head of my singles event i'm more calm to be honest i've got used to it and singles is a completely different event i would also see a girl just a couple of years older. she's making her really big debut but doesn't seem to be fazed by that. is the first adult competition for me in my coach told me not to think about it as an olympic competition but just an ordinary start there will be a lot of russian fans who are very loud and energetic i'll have to focus and just do my job i'm sure she will she's a very confident young lady

a very busy day here in sochi i've only picked out if you things there and i haven't even mentioned the team events in the biathlon and the cross-country skiing say keep an eye out for those. of here's the whistleblower edward snowden may be in limbo of a where his future lies but one of the u.k.'s most venerable institutions is happy to give him a position of trust students at glasgow university and scotland have nominated him as a test sassy exp. former u.s. national security agency edward snowden has been elected as a student rector of glasgow university one of the oldest universities in the u.k. carried out the role of the rector is to represent student issues do senior management at the university but previous and convents have been elected as political statements of the group that had nominated edward snowden said that he did so because he stood for democracy and that voted for him he would have to show

support for his flight as a wanted man after revealing the extent of global surveillance by the n.s.a. as well as other spy agencies and they said that this would also serve a message to governments their opposition to the intrusive nature of state security now as far as edward snowden is concerned this isn't his first award in october two thousand and thirteen you received the sam adams integrity and intelligence award and also just this week he's one of the recipients of the two thousand and thirteen george polk award in journalism in new york reaction just snowden's latest revelations on how the n.s.a. targeted wiki leaks was quick in coming from a fellow whistleblower who then asunder expressed his outrage at the leak and we need his calls for an investigation into the spy agencies activities that are just a click away. and also energy john chav ron decided the best way to compensate for future explosion at a fracking and a five day in fine fellow pulls

a free pizza check out how the community welcome to that online. fan was fed up with their government's tax policies are attempting to bring grease to at stern still by blocking the roads as overstayers here have seen comes to their salaries and pensions and mass rallies becoming something of an annual tradition. they left their fields and abandoned their tractors again greek farmers young and old took to the streets calling for revolution for the third time in just two weeks farmers of this region that's four hundred kilometers from the capital athens go to the blog this state highway and out of tampa the broader authorities are telling friends and they will do it again and again they say until their voice is heard their demands are nothing new in greece the country that's been hit the hardest by the economic crisis and has now

been recession for six years but we want the government to reduce taxes and to cut prices for equipment and petrol we already pay too much to do to produce or goods well the same time we have to pay for electricity or water bills along with education and medical treatment who pay for everything and we pay too much cost us has three grown up children and all three of them are we go out to work part of the twenty seven percent of greig's who are unemployed. or politicians don't care about us there is no good infrastructure we sell our products at very low prices and while the european union gives greece money it never reaches us farmers . survived the second world war but says he can barely endure the current economic situation. the first day we entered the e.u. all our problems started the life of farmers was never easy now it's hell i could to a tobacco but the boy my boy or young people leave this country why i was supposed

to become easier but it never happened he's not alone in feeling let down and people here seem to have no doubt about what went wrong with the soup when we entered the new things changed dramatically it was stuff but now it's even worse at that time they made golden promises and told us we're gonna eat from golden spoon but they never kept to their word. the farmers are not optimistic they say things will only get worse given the crisis arise and we can't afford this the comments promised to reduce prices further truth to night time but they never did the protestant call for action what else we can do will fight until then but despite such calls this demonstration is little more than a symbolic act right police were at the scene but they never stepped in and the highway patrol simply opened alternative routes so that the traffic was unaffected greece faced

a wave of violent protests spec'ing two thousand and ten two thousand and twelve. that left at least five dead and hundreds of others injured no one here wants a repetition of those events and not many actually believe it will change anything . now these farmers who abandoned their tractors to make their voice heard feel that they have reaped what the politicians in athens have so. race nationality from greece. breaking the set is next here on our international.
