this is r.t. international with the twenty four hours a day live from our studio center here in moscow and straight to our breaking news this hour ukraine's former prime minister yulia timoshenko is urging people to stay put until all the demands of being met she's addressing crowds right now on independence square just hours after being released from jail lawmakers in ukraine have now voted to dismiss the president viktor yanukovych for crimes against the people and that's the latest ruling by the now opposition dominated parliament. is watching the situation in the capital which is transformed from scenes of deadly violence to united crowds. the peace with which that's have been unfolding here in kiev hasn't changed one bit it hasn't slowed down at all since you do too much junk other countries former prime minister an opposition leader has been released from jail by the deputies of the parliament and shortly after coming out she pledged to

run for office and that could happen very soon since the other thing that the deputies voted on was the date for an early presidential vote according to their plans that's going to happen at the end of may and also as you just said the deputies of the rada have dismissed president you know from his duties basically saying that he knocked him self out of the game by leaving his whole soul so new ministers are being appointed now such as the minister of justice known to be quite a far right figure in fact is being announced that right wing radicals are going to be very present and involved in the country's a new law enforcement and we're also hearing that now the former justice minister and the minister of tax and revenues they've been arrested while attempting to flee the country and the president viktor you know which is not in kiev himself has been going around the eastern part of the country where he's originally from gathering supporters he rejects all the new laws

passed by the deputies of the rada saying that he's still the man in control of the country and basically saying that the power in ukraine has been hijacked by terrorists and hooligans and the police in the meantime have stepped onto their side on a few key of the cities completely controlled by the protesters and for more about how a life here is right now here's a report we made earlier we went down to the streets to see it with our own eyes less than twenty four hours ago this area was probably among the most high security areas in the whole country the street in front of the president's administration which was guarded by several lines of ukrainians. alpha swat teams one of the most well trained and loyal security forces in the country and now the situation clearly has changed and so have the gores of this area since this street along with the city are under the complete control i the protesters so now locals are just coming

to see the situation with their own eyes the fighting has calmed down taking pictures and also just seeing this area since it was also one of the first spots where the first fierce fighting took place back in december now the police have completely left the city and we've we're getting reports that the president's residence outside of town has also been abandoned by officials and now will close are just coming in there and taking pictures off exotic animals at the zoo inside the president's parents' car collection secret documents and other things which were basically just abandoned as the officials fled the city in the meantime the rod has been passing new laws like a hot printing press scores of people are still on my down square on independence square where they're paying the respects to those killed in the violence and are

demanding for president to step down so like i said the police is out of the city pretty much most of the officials are gone the whereabouts of amir are also unknown and it's now under the complete control of the protesters but the question is how long this format sort of unusual living will be able to continue without officials present here. and in my county that transit discuss the threat of radicals coming to power with charles shoe bridge who spend some time in ukraine watching political developments there let's have a listen to this for. as long as i live i will fight against jews communists and russian scum 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 he said that they didn't want for example in the 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 protesters including the fact that as we've seen on our own television screens unavoidably over the last forty eight hours on longer that many of them are heavily armed it's also clear that that 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 or at least the elections 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 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 meanwhile in the eastern city of how called local officials know little to the president of gathered they've declared that taking control of their respective regions bypassing any rulings now from kiev. has more. a nation turning team russia one is a starting today local authorities are in charge of all political decisions on the ground in israel as we have to protect our land that must the source use of ukraine's eastern and southern regions given how to care for an emergency session and decided that they no longer take orders from kiev while in the capital parliament declare that these people must be brought to justice as separatists we think that the central authorities are paralyzed and that their decisions cannot be considered constitutional while deputies in cutting of adopt a resolution splitting the country

a system of governance for their region has recently shown signs of being far from unanimous what happened in kiev left the local population base divided and dissolution and many fear that radicals from the capital could bring violence in their wake but others condemned the president's agreement with the opposition call and surrender the traditional russian in region helical issues major power base could stumble over the you brokered crisis deal that the head of state signed on friday. i'm shocked and disgusted by the actions of the president that i never expected anything like this from him years ago i never thought he'd ever betray the ukrainian people that i thought that he'd hold on to the end of a gun you love or not but i'm unhappy because then someone who joined the e.u. and be a them back i'm cool as they're free to decide they can go on and live in the e.u. and wait a little then lasted all day and resume used to being free cherishing ounce addition to moderately opposition views which are in the minority here sound surprisingly

similar love the style of but we are fed up with our government we no longer consider oversteer our president as apartheid nations are a bunch of the leaves suffocating the population. after deadly clashes in the key of things are heating up here too the man is quickly surrounded by those who don't share his. piñon. fact that he came here from the capital is my down rallies and he wants to bring violence with him and then tries to assure everyone that he knew some hardcore really sorry just to repeat today's rally in the center of heart of brought together both supporters of those forces and the opposition and was quite peaceful but here which recently became a symbol of players for many ukrainians and a source of great fear is less than five hundred kilometers away and no one can guarantee that its mood of anarchy will not spread here written off not seen from

higher in eastern ukraine while the areas that are now saying they will govern themselves make up the backbone of ukraine's economy southern and eastern ukraine comprises ten regions it's home to just over half the country's population that's twenty three of its forty five million the territory includes huge areas of fertile land with enormous agricultural potential and it's also the nation's industrial heartland with most of the mines and factories and of course all of the country's ports are situated here in the self in the region and the crimea well earlier i discussed the possibility of the country splitting into with politico i was struck and here are his thoughts. i don't want to belong to that category of analysts we say in that ukraine would fall apart tomorrow the scenario seems to be removed but at the same time we should not rule out the idea of for the organization of ukraine

i mean we say for the relation we have to explain what is this actually this is the confidence and. in the scene the area of divorce in that type of you remember that divorce if a going to be where the loyalties towards that. would be recognized they are that sort of. at the same time we have to understand that the new government will never go into. chaos and madness they would think all of the balance of the interests of regional political and business elites he failed to do this then of course ukraine me for all of. us secretary of state has said washington will put pressure on the opposition in kiev to comply with the terms of the crisis deal brokered on friday with british and german top diplomats say they will support the new government now these are among the countries that have been wielding their influence in the capital throughout the unrest smith reports from london. 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 gloves to the protesters and these are also 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 from the very beginning condemning the authorities and and supporting the opposition seemingly in a matter what it did and then of course. 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 is 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 brew 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 their current of the side of the deal that their involvement was essentially worthless. they took the opposition side it hasn't handed in its arms it hasn't stopped using force the barricades of still there the buildings are still occupied and that's despite the police force having pulled out of the center of kiev as we know so all that food and postering basically on able to ensure any kind of meat. boat or he's a senior lecturer in international relations and security studies at moscow state university says the mob is playing by its rules here. agreement that was agreed to on friday between the. so close it leaders

of the opposition who actually has no control over what my down mobs are doing at this point who is actually in control on the ground there has been a coup the deal agreed to has been broken and the congress and our cause 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 of it so we're following the situation there on and on line plus we've got our news crews in kiev and in eastern ukraine don't forget to check the twitter feed for the latest updates.

on international life in moscow we've got news from sochi after the break. so i transit through to vnukovo report your best way to the heart of moscow. and come to the future. to soon show we call in toy cars are stunned when we meet

i did first state of the city address new york mayor bill de blasio said that he would put forward legislation for the city to issue special municipal identification cards to undocumented immigrants he summed up his feelings by saying to all my fellow new yorkers who are undocumented i say new york city is your home too and we will not force any of our residents to live their lives in the shadows yeah that sounds nice but the reason these illegal immigrants live their lives in the shadows is because they immigrated illegally why should new yorkers bend over 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 do but that's just my opinion. fact that. they would like to know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy shrek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked why handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us i'm

job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem of trucks rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing america have a better job ready to join the movement than walk a little bit. too . much to. hello and welcome to technology updates this month we left the whole slim bust of moscow and went to top stun which is one of the country's innovation hot spots on today's show we meet some of cousins young scientists. we find all the making plane parts is a bit like baking a cake. and we can face to face with
