or the growing alienation and frustration with the euro project could be said the new right is really the only right so willing. ukraine's president condemns what he calls. and defies calls to step down he's now in the east of the country where local authorities say they're taking full control of the region's. position that parliament votes to oust the president while the former prime minister yulia timoshenko leaves jail police forces reportedly joined the uprising. and european media to help broker a crisis deal for ukraine say the opposition has failed to comply with its russia. to rein in the radicals.

this is already twenty four hours a day life from our studio in moscow so breaking news this hour here on r.t. international ukraine's lawmakers have voted to depose the country's president viktor yanukovych now that's the latest ruling by the now opposition dominated parliament it's also ruled to release the country's former prime minister an opposition figurehead yulia tymoshenko who is now out of the prison hospital she'd been held in and on her way to kiev and to government rioters and now in full control of the capital and the interior minister says that they have appointed the terror minutes appointed says the police have joined their side meanwhile the country's president remains defiant he's left the capital and move to the eastern part of the country. well there's traditionally been more support for him or from

there he's made a number of statements condemning the events in the capital as a coup and refusing to step down and the officials from south eastern ukraine have said that they are taking full control of their respective regions of his refreshing is in the eastern ukrainian city of hochul. the resolution that the representatives of the us or sees over the eastern and southeastern ukraine adopted here today after their emergency meeting here in the city of halakhah says that since today they no longer obey the central source is that they think are paralyzed local resources will be in charge of all political decisions here this resolution also says that the rock huge doubts that all a recent decisions and laws approved by the country's parliament are constitutional and deliberate this resolution in fact means a huge plea to power here in the country and of course that this will add to the

division that we already see not only in ukraine but even here in the eastern part of the country we are in hardcover now and it's known as the capital of the eastern ukraine that traditionally support the president viktor you know called the church we see that today population here is divided from one hand they are afraid that opposition including right wing didn't do all those radical elements so it can come here from kiev and from another hand both politicians and ordinary people here on the ground are not totally happy with what victory new coach is doing as a president and particularly the early paul deal that victor in a quote which signed with the opposition the rather those who support the local authorities and even the president but also the raw those who call themselves opposition and they say that they don't want to live in the country ruled by unocal

which and his people. well the areas that are now saying they'll govern themselves brains economy if you look here southern and eastern ukraine comprises ten regions it's home to just over half the country's population that's twenty three out of forty five million the territory includes huge areas of fertile land with enormous agricultural potential it's also the country's industrial heartland with most of the mines and factories and of course all of ukraine's ports situated here in the adesa region and the crimea well european brokers of the deal the president signed with the opposition on friday and now admitting the antigovernment protesters have failed to comply with its terms when it's get more on their reaction from ortiz or smith in london so laura tell us more what these e.u. represent is a saying. well we've seen involvement of foreign officials on the my down right

from the very beginning of this crisis we've seen slightly surreal things like polish deputies setting up tents on the my dad and making speeches distributing polish delicacies to the protesters we've seen the u.s. undersecretary of state victoria nuland distributing cookies we hear and we've also seen the lithuanian foreign minister handing out warm blubs to the protesters and these are all to the physical manifestations of this seemingly unconditional support that western powers have offered to the protesters since the very beginning and in fact up until recently they've been calling them peaceful protesters and essentially they they took sides right through the very beginning condemning the authorities and and supporting the opposition seemingly in a matter what it did and then of course they broke it they steal from germany and poland and also seemingly at whatever cost in fact the media's most to get hold of a video of a polish minister rudd his love sikorsky telling an opposition leader you will all

be dead if you don't agree to this deal talking about the possible imposition of martial law and now believe it or not we have this could deal in place brokered by france germany and poland but even they have now been forced to admit that the deal isn't working that basically the opposition leaders on sticking to the current of the side of the deal that their involvement was essentially worthless. they took the opposition side it hasn't handed in its omes it hasn't stopped using force the barricades of still that the buildings are still occupied and that's despite the police force having pulled out of the center of kiev as we know so well that food and postering basically on able to ensure any kind of peat moss with loving on the french very much indeed for that while mark sloboda he is a senior lecturer in international relations and security studies at moscow state university he says the mall is playing by its own rules. agreement that

was agreed to on friday between the. so cozy leaders of the opposition who actually have no control over what the might on mobs are doing at this point who is actually in control on the ground there has been the deal agreed to has been broken and the congress in hard calls has declared that any decisions taken by this parliament now have been taken without the participation of the majority of the party of regions and communist delegates and that any of its decisions are invalid because they have been made under threats of violence and death by the mobs that were literally sieging the parliament and are now in physical control over. my colleague not trying to discuss the threat of radicals coming to power with charles shubert who

spend some time in ukraine watching the political developments there let's have a listen to this first the usual as long as i live i will fight against jews communists and russians communism now that is an activist from the right sector an organization that will be incorporated with the police according to one of the opposition leaders as a former police officer do you think that someone you'd want joining the ranks of law enforcement. i think your question is rhetorical because it's really clear that those kind of people who are advocating if you like the street violence even yesterday. deep inside one b.b.c. broadcast was an activist being interviewed who said that they didn't want for example in a cove rich to be tried or anything like this they just wanted him killed the media here and even government figures have started to question the makeup of at least some of these protestors including the fact that as we've seen on our own television screens and avoidably over the last forty eight hours and longer that

many of them are heavily armed it's also clear that there i think we can see from the rapid scale of what might be called defections amongst police the neutrality shall we say of the armed services in this the reluctance of the armed services to intervene in what is after all a public order security situation within ukraine can be seen if you like almost as a mutiny it's also clear that. there may have been some form of negotiations some sort of activism going on behind the scenes with links with various political groups to the armed forces and perhaps even within the police itself certainly in the west of ukraine that wouldn't be a surprise because you colonialist and ukraine specialist bruno jet ski told us that the country is very into was a complete power vacuum. i think that do you call which companies zoom in more and more divided and i think that you made quite a lot of errors so it's not sure he will be. still the leader of the let's say

and t. and d. my down the come there are too many leaders in the opposition and emotion. more and more so i don't really. see how do you position can be still united especially guards who we observe very strong differences between do you know them i didn't. people and leaders of the opposition so i think that in the next two weeks we will see maybe strong differences between insight you think. well we're following the situation in ukraine on air and online plus we've got our crew there in kiev and in the eastern part of the country don't forget to check out the r.t. twitter feed for the latest updates morphew of the next few hours here of course and r.t. international. just

across the black sea from ukraine the slopes of sochi are abuzz as russia takes the men's seven kilometer relay gold and vaults to the top of the medal rankings right now let's hear all about that from our very own scott he's there in sochi now paula another incredibly close finish in that competition which of course is now put russia at the top of that medal table tell us more about that. yes it's been another good day for russia here in sochi with twenty four hours or so away from the end of the games and the host nation has surged to the top of the medals table two golds coming on saturday the latest in the biathlon men's relay a few moments ago but earlier history was created yet again here in sochi vic wild becoming the first snowboarder to win two gold medals in a single olympic games he ever so narrowly won the inaugural parallel slalom outing

to the gold he'd already won in the giant parallel slalom wild as u.s. born but became a russian citizen in two thousand and eleven after marrying his russian girlfriend who incidentally has a bronze medal to her name in sochi while there was also a bronze medal for russia in the speedskating in the women's proceeds in the ag arena behind me so let's see how all of that affects the very latest medals table and you can see russia the hosts lead the way now with eleven gold medals that total of twenty nine medals overall is a record in the country's modern history norway in second place canada and the usa complete the top four but now i gather the crowds are also playing a really big part in russia's some of these games coming to their final stages. yes very much so victor on was the man of the moment on friday he has won three gold medals in short track speed skating here in sochi on friday he won the five

hundred meters before helping russia to gold in the relay and the atmosphere inside the iceberg skating palace was electric an unofficial olympic record was set with the home for hands reaching well over one hundred decibel but they weren't the only ones who may have had something to shout about the night you can explains. comedian jimmy kimmel knew that the u.s. media would take the bait when he conspired with kate hansen from the u.s. lucia team and posted a video of a wolf supposedly wandering the whole ways of her dorm in sochi but even the comedian could not imagine the scale of the media frenzy that followed the seventeen second clip shows a large canine actually walked past a room with wolf in the hallway and i'm not talking blitzer sitting out from the door outside the olympic village i'm glad you're not in this hallway since i got it out of there there's a stray dog problem maybe they also have a straight wolf problem you've heard of the wolf of wall street how about the war

of the olympic village the wall so that's not the me from wall street in the movie thing you know it's not just going. on here it's is unbelievable. because it chills people that's a wolf well it was a wolf except not in sochi but in a b.b.c. studio in los angeles in a specially constructed for the cajun replica of the athletes' dorm hallway in sochi turns out there is no wealth of sochi we were all duped but that's not the point is fit with the whole the whole paradigm they had created about oh russia is so scary it's so crazy it's pandemonium people running around with their heads on fire and so this fit in there and so they loved it they gave it up and it shows how there is a very small thought paradigm that's allowed on most of our media and the things that paradigm or perfect you find. thank you rugby you did a great job ok i'd love to do this again would you consider bringing a live bear to the closing ceremonies i know let me see where i can find this kind

of a lot of force going on here he might have as well being a bear the media would still bite jimmy kimmel's prank like nothing else has called out the us media on their obsession with finding faults with the sochi olympics. in washington i'm going to shut down. the g twenty for teen promise this week told them that in the exhilarating winter he ate here join me and you said no way i'm a kevin zero and i'm the last of our little take news team for sochi twenty four take. on. international law if you're a moscow back to ukraine and our breaking news story this hour let's get a live update now from the ship he is in yes so let's see what news from parliament which is now of course dominated by the opposition. yes indeed the news are coming

so quickly every hour bring some and definitely a big breaking news the latest one is that the parliament has impeached president on the call of it and we're still trying to figure out whether whether this decision may stand according to the country's constitution because recently the country reverted to the constitution of two thousand and four and the un accord which has not signed this come back to the constitution just yet but even under the current constitution it means that a constitutional majority of more than three hundred thirty votes in the side the parliament would definitely impeach the president so as it stands according to the law he is impeached and moreover we know from from how to cook and this is been confirmed that the former prime minister yulia timoshenko the arc rival of unocal which political rival has left the prison hospital and now on her way to kiev the president of ukraine i'm not sure if i can still call him the president though but

he on a call which is defined he says he will not accept any decisions coming from the parliament he still is the acting president according to himself and he earlier equated everything happening in the country to a coup d'etat he even made a comparison to the one nine hundred thirty situation in germany when nazis were coming to power he said that he will continue touring south and east of ukraine talking to his electorate because that's where he feels safe in a car which also said that his car was shot at on friday when he was trying to leave for the east of ukraine meanwhile kiev itself is no longer controlled by anyone we know that the opposition protesters are controlling all of the governmental buildings in the city including the parliament the government the administration of the president and the defense ministry and the interior ministry in fact the interior ministry the new one has already been appointed one of the figureheads of the euro my down movement has already made several statements including that of the interior minister troops and the police are now on the side

of the opposition and the people and we've heard. a statement coming from the commander in chief of the military forces who said that the army is still undecided it's pretty much not taking any sides of the conflict at the moment so is this the end of the story is this the end of the my down we we still unclear because with news coming from the east of ukraine with the article which clearly being defiant of everything happening in kiev we still may see some kind of confrontation here. live in kiev thanks very much indeed for that update no doubt more from you over the coming hours well that would come to you live here from moscow international we'll have more of course all those developments from ukraine in just about half an hour from now and all the news after the break. in the. show we go on tour and sometimes stunned when we meet some of his sons

even america's youngest citizens can be spared from having their personal information collected and stored the department of education is creating a statewide database that will include the names addresses test scores learning disabilities attendance and disciplinary records of every single public school students the data collection begins at the age of five and a private company called in bloom has been contracted to store and protect the records of three point six million students education officials say the program can help companies who produce iching material to tailor their products to student needs however parents are not buying it more than four thousand have signed a petition rejecting the in bloom program including karen sproul who spoke with our

t.v. about her concerns for her ten year old son and millions of others the new york state department did not notify parents they didn't give x. for consent. we kind of just stumbled on it and discovered it just seems like parents were taken out of the equation completely in terms of protecting the children's privacy we were not aware that the new york state department made a deal with bill gates in blue nonprofit organization to upload all of our children's personal data disinclined to parents as well. for the purpose of personalized learning for me this is particularly alarming because my child has special needs. and his main school records are centrally his medical records where as in any other instance releases would have to be signed for any of the information to be released to a third party you don't even know who will have access records if there's breaches you wouldn't even know because it's so massive. and the extent to the information

that's being uploaded is so huge that it will be available to many different third party vendors entities that we have no idea who they are and what information would be released to them it's horrifying to me as a parent new york officials say the in bloom student data program will begin in april in the meantime thousands of parents say they are prepared to fight the state two thousand mail in order to protect their children's privacy reporting from new york marino court nile r.t. . all the latest now from the forefront of technological innovation and more from ukraine in just over half an hour with me and then used to. be.

backwards for illegal criminal immigrants this is the same logic that if i catch a guy breaking into my house as a gracious host i should offer him a pizza because it's his home too this is not just a slap in the face to rule of law but also to the immigrants who do go through the bureaucracy and headaches to become u.s. citizens the right way the legal way so the blasio if you're going to provide these illegal immigrants with some sort of document it should be a plane ticket back home with instructions on how to apply for a green card the legit proper way just like everyone else has to fashion just my opinion. on the money with the business of russia.
