only. the ukrainian parliament votes to depose president unocal bitch who refuses to step down saying the opposition is attempting a state this as former prime minister yulia tymoshenko is released from prison and addresses protesters in kiev. meanwhile local authorities from the east and south of the country hold an emergency meeting to take full control of their regions claiming the central parliament's decisions are unconstitutional. the european mediators said that help to broker a crisis deal for ukraine say they will support the new government while admitting the opposition has violated the agreement.

welcome to our team there's no i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us now ukraine's former prime minister yulia timoshenko has urged protesters in kiev to stay put until their demands are met she addressed the crowd at independence square just hours after being released from prison the country's lawmakers have voted to dismiss a president and have set a date for an early election that's as the president has refused to step down and accused the opposition of an attempted coup. as the latest. the peace with which have been unfolding here in kiev hasn't changed one bit it hasn't slowed down at all since you do too much junk of the country's former prime minister an opposition leader has been released from jail by the deputies of the palm it 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 to also deputies of the rada have dismissed president you know from his duties basically saying that he knocked himself out of the game by leaving his post also 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 now president viktor yanukovych is not in kiev himself is going to going around the eastern part of the country where he's originally from gathering supporters who 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 june thirtieth the cities completely controlled by the protesters and for more about how 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 ukrainian alpha swat teams one of the walls. 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 a long time city are under the complete control of 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 and 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 locals are just coming in there and taking pictures off exotic animals at the zoo inside the president's parents' car collection secret documents on 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. cannot force there now according to reports radicals have now besieged a prominent orthodox christian monastery in central kiev they are allegedly planning to hand it over to the jurisdiction of a breakaway patriarch charles should bridge has been watching the political developments in ukraine earlier he spoke with my colleagues matt my colleague about the threat of radicals coming into power here is an example of the rhetoric that prompted the discussion. 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 who 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. or at least the reluctance of the armed services to intervene in what is off to 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 the law that brings ukraine back under the two thousand and four constitution limiting the president's powers has now officially come into force meanwhile from the eastern and southern parts of ukraine have slammed to decisions by kiev as unconstitutional they assembled in the city of harkov and declared that they are taking control of their respective regions to maintain the safety of the citizens until order in the capital is fully restored artie's marouf an ocean has more. a nation turning team russia one isn't starting today local authorities are in charge of all political decisions on the ground in these regions we have to protect our land. the sources of ukraine's eastern and southern regions gathered in

how to 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's system of governance their region has recently shown signs of being far from unanimous what happened in kiev left a 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 colonnade surrender the traditional russian region had his major power base could stumble over the year brokered crisis deal that the head of state signed on friday. i'm shocked and disgusted by the actions of the president i never expected anything like this from him i never thought he'd ever

betray the crimean people that i thought that he'd hold on to the end of the rule not that i'm unhappy because those who want to join the e.u. and they are their back and cool as they're free to decide they're going to go on and live in the un way to build a little their master their orders and resume used to being free cherishing ounce addition and. opposition views which are in the minority here sound surprisingly similar but we are fed up with our government we no longer consider yanukovych your president as the party of regions are a bunch of these are 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. pinion know what they see spanked that he came in from the camp turns my head on bradley's and i want to bring him in then tries to assure everyone that he recently hunted really sorry just mentally repeating today's rally in the center of

heart of brought together both supporters of those sources and the opposition and was quite pleased whole 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 an icky will not spread here regional if not see from higher in eastern ukraine the areas that are now saying they will govern themselves make up the backbone of ukraine's economy let's take a look southern and eastern ukraine comprises ten different regions it's home to a little more than half the country's population over twenty three of its forty five million other territory includes huge areas of fertile land with enormous agricultural potential it is also the nation's industrial heartland with most of the mines and factories located there as well as the country's ports they are situated in a desk and in the crimea earlier my colleague bill dodd discussed of the

possibility of ukraine splitting into two with a political analyst sergei stroke. i don't want to belong to that category of you know this we say in the ukraine it would fall apart tomorrow the scenario seems to be removed but at the same time we should not rule out the idea for the organization of ukraine i mean we say for their relation we have to explain what does this actually this is. and we can do in the sea in the area of divorce in that type of you remember that there right now we're going to be where the loyalties towards that that's right would be recognized that's what i will provide that's right at the same time we have to understand that the new government were 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 may for it fall apart. now the u.s.

has welcomed of ukrainian parliaments calls for the creation of a coalition government and early elections washington also hailed the release of the eight nations former prime minister yulia timoshenko meanwhile the president of the european council has said that the bloc will stand by ukraine and that the terms of the crisis deal reached on friday will bring the country out of its deadlock party's lawyer smith reports. 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 love to the protestors and these are also the 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 and

essentially they they took sides right from the very beginning condemning the authorities and and supporting the opposition seemingly no 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 rightists love sikorsky telling an opposition leader you'll 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's side it hasn't handed in its omes it hasn't stopped using force the barricades are 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 well that food and postering basically on able to ensure any kind of meat. market sloboda senior lecturer in international relations and security studies have moscow state university says the armed rioters who have now taken over kiev are playing by their own rules. agreement that was agreed to on friday between the. so close it leaders of the opposition who actually has no control over what the might on 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 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 of it and we are following the situation in ukraine on air and online plus we have got our news crews in kiev and eastern ukraine so don't forget to check out the r.t. twitter feed for their latest updates. and we've got more news coming up after a short break including a wrap up of saturday's heated competition at the sochi winter olympics there with us. you know there's a new game in town it's called the hunger games housing games

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 were the only ones who may have had something to shout about if you can explains comedian jimmy kimmel knew that the u.s. media would take the bait when he conspired with keith henson from the u.s. lose team and posted a video of a wolf supposedly wandering the hallways 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 were. in the hallway and i'm not. talking blitzer to shooting out from the door outside the world in the olympic village i'm glad you're not in this hallway since got to get 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 well. that's not the man from wall street in the movie

recently swiss voters nearly passed a referendum to put a strict quota back on immigration switzerland is a relatively small country and some estimate that almost a quarter of the population is made up of immigrants from e.u. countries that is a lot of people and the swiss are worried that the increased foreigners will also mean increased crime rent prices burd the state and erode traditional local culture as modern immigration almost always does this was populations democratic choice to restrict immigration is naturally being blasted by the e.u. brass what threats to cancel bilateral agreements how dear you have a different version of. then we in the you have switzerland how dare you i don't think this event will have much effect on the e.u. bureaucratic machine nothing could make them change their hyper liberal minds but i think the swiss anti immigration referendum will have a huge effect on local populations of countries like germany and the u.k. which are seeing horrible effects of open borders and growing anti e.u.

sentiment as i speak i don't like to make predictions by i think a lot of disenfranchised people across the e.u. are going to become quite jealous of the swiss move and demand the same type of changes at home but that's just my opinion. choose your language. for the sake of it and if anyone else. chooses to use the consensus to. choose to get to. choose the stories get in. choose access to.
