he's also wanted on the same charges in the meantime the e.u. foreign affairs commissioner catherine ashton has met with the leaders of the opposition and the acting president here in the ukrainian capital and has pledged financial support from the e.u. meanwhile in the e.u. most debt stricken nations are not very happy about the idea of financially helping ukraine right now. first they put greece. and then they owe for ukraine all the money they should support us now that we're in great need i find is completely wrong to the european union or first all this money to ukraine we don't have any job and at the same time we have debts to pay it's not right to give all this money to ukraine. is in need of financial assistance the economy is in bad shape and it was even before the events here in kiev but the question is at what price is this help going to come. meanwhile ukraine's finance ministry is calling

for a donor's conference with brussels or washington and the international monetary fund it says it needs financial assistance for the next three years as well as urgent aid in the short term while the i.m.f. requiring painful economic reforms in return the help would likely come out of their high price as foreign affairs analysts explains. the plane with carrots and sticks the there's economic integration which was going to mean that big parts of the ukrainian working population will see a deterioration in their living style the fantasy about entering your of the the streets be in line with gold that's a fantasy because the real project is it is an i.m.f. based austerity program that's the real path into the e.u. it's not going to be the german path it'll be the greek path for the ukraine the ongoing sand office polarized in ukraine deepening the divide between the west and south east which has a huge russian speaking population is some provinces are the country's powerhouse

a question of divide and green. and are closely following the situation in ukraine on air and online so had to r.t. dot com for more in-depth analysis and minute by minute updates of what's happened in kiev and other regions. and other news as the deadline for u.s. troops to pull out from of ganesan approaches washington this plan and simply three thousand personnel behind president karzai has so far refused to sign a bilateral security deal with the u.s. and as arts he's gotten sick our reports washington is now scrambling to preserve its footprints and the region. it's not easy for the obama administration to communicate reasons why the u.s. should say ghana's them past twenty four teen the administration hasn't been able to sell those reasons to president karzai who said nato troops presence made his country worse but washington definitely does not want to leave afghanistan for good and one of the reported options is that those three thousand troops would be

deployed to bases in kabul and bob graham and would not do much traveling across the country now the other option which the pentagon reportedly favors more is leaving ten thousand troops behind and also leaving more bases open the pentagon argues the closing of some of the bases would hamper drone operations in pakistan washington's main argument now remains that afghan forces cannot stand alone against the resurgent taliban to increase the pressure congress has recently slashed plans development and military aid to afghanistan to roughly half by half to one point one billion dollars there is also an understanding here in washington that in order to not lose of ganesan completely they may have to make a now to the taliban force they'd been fighting for more than a decade. so many of the recent developments show how far we have come from initial declarations like the us saying that he would leave afghanistan by the end of twenty fourteen in washington i'm going to check on our team. the u.s.

is arguing its withdrawal from afghanistan will put its. neighboring pakistan at forcing them to seek alternative locations for their controversial drone bases meanwhile raise some polls show that over half of american surveyed thought the u.s. has failed to achieve its goals in afghanistan and that's compared to thirty eight percent who think it had almost succeeded with former u.s. army judge advocate general and he told us washington is interested in maintaining the image of an unending conflict in afghanistan. they know are definitely leaving why continue wasting lives trying to get us out but it seems that we're standing in opposite leaving. some kind of occupying force. there's an element of. an occupying force they want to maintain the appearance that we're in a war so that they can justify the claims of constitutional

powers on behalf of the. so called commander in chief the president. we're heading into a short break now but do stay with artsy international for more news including a report on a small village in germany has residents faced the prospect of having some leave their homes to make way for a coal mine. let's talk a. little lights around. you . for the young girls camel for the future hunter. between two and three hundred million

program now saying that stopping muslims in the country from falling on the big influence on friday calls it's supposed to serve as a counterterrorism strategy but many claim it's counterproductive with some muslim saying it's place in the school nation by authorities are seized or smith reports. preventing terrorism a powerful phrase used to excuse all manner of abuses from government spying on their own citizens to foreign wars now muslims in the u.k. are accusing the government of scapegoating them in the fight against terror and creating what they're calling a cradle to grave police state they say the police strategy known as prevent monitor's muslims and tries to change ideologies in every area of their life so it's an all encompassing policy that is touching on every aspect of muslim life in a negative negative way which encourages discrimination you've got to remember that . when one person has been affected in this way the whole family as they tell their

family they tell their friends they tell others so this is becoming a shared experience amongst the muslim community the whole community is now experiencing what's happening in prevent despite the fact that human rights organizations have branded the strategy unacceptably intrusive into the lives of ordinary muslims and based not on preventing terrorism but on changing ideology beliefs and values it appears set to be enshrined into law and it's not the only example of politicians seeking to make capital out of apparently discriminating against muslims gerard batten is immigration spokesman for the u.k. independence party he wants british muslims to sign a code of conduct that affirms the equality of all people equal rights for women rejects violence and promote tolerance but i can't see how anybody could object to it i mean if you say to anybody anywhere in the world do you think that people

should be treated equally men and women should be treated equally you know there should be no violence there should be no compulsion in religion everybody should be free to follow their own religion who would not sign it only people who don't believe those things batten on. used the document would help moderate muslims to distinguish themselves from extremists but muslims themselves say it's just another way of singling them out and it doesn't lead anywhere it does what leads to. you know fascism against other communities this is what you know it's really what will happen as more and more people think it's perfectly alright to target women who wear a job on the side a code of conduct to worry that as policies like these become part of everyday life casual islamophobia follows pitting community against community and dividing society. and we have more stories for you on line while the

united states continuing to support financially and offer training to the opposition groups venezuela has a very strong suspicious kind of a standpoint towards the united states. the leader of the opposition has the klein salts with cries that maduro who says the protesters are planted in the coop backed by. hand but it's also believes been as well is getting in the way of america's economic domination of the region the role that has played historically over the past decade and a half of. promoting a kind of an independence movement within latin america which seeks to extricate itself from u.s. control particularly economic control in terms of the broad economic policies that have been imposed upon the region venezuela is a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to trying to look for government said maybe

more amenable to united states last year the amounts of energy produced from coal in germany rose to its highest level since nine hundred ninety s. that's despite a campaign to shift the greener sources of energy are ceaselessly cash in the visits to the small town there which now risks being the story by the country's coal addiction. welcome to outer wash population two hundred forty one it's a place that steeped in history the bell in this church was forged before columbus sailed for america and locals here have centuries old claim to the land it's we're all rick schultz was born and it's where he intends to die his family has owned this farm since fifteen sixty she learned a trade from his father and plans to hand the business down to his son. this has been our homeland for centuries it means everything to us but my family and my fellow villagers here face a terrible prospect our homes could soon be raised and our businesses destroyed.

it's what's beneath the land an estimated two hundred fifty million tonnes of brown coal that threatens to wipe out a wash and two nearby villages off the map they have machines or strip mining the ground or brown coal and you can see a size of this operation a coal mine behind me is already the size of several small towns but the company. wants to grow this we dish energy giant wants to double the size of the open cast mine bought in fall needs more lignite for its power plant one of the dirtiest in europe the local children call it the cloud making factory it's one of the most polluting fossil fuels and it's supposed to be a thing of the past germany gets nearly twenty five percent of its electricity from solar and wind with a goal of eighty percent renewables by twenty fifty yet the country burned more brown coal last year than at any time since the one nine hundred ninety s. the dirty downside of chancellor merkel's nuclear phaseout more than nine hundred

villagers are risk of being displaced and for some there's a feeling of history repeating itself in this region thousands had been resettled after the second world war when the communist government depended on brown coal to power its cities and factories. it makes me furious just furious first the government comes in starts developing alternative sources of energy and now we've come back to brown coal i feel very disillusioned we simply can't go back to old practices. residents have launched their own campaign to keep the diggers at bay but it's questionable if they can keep up the fight these are tiny villages with aging populations facing an energy giant with deep pockets a definitive decision has yet to be made on the fate of the villages in fall does move then it likely won't be for many more years and approval by state authorities is still pending although local activists aren't optimistic so these three villages

will basically be gone if the plans if the parents go through the parliaments through villages. to be moved. our laws protect the interests of the coal mining industry and the industry managed to convince politicians that if the country abandons called l.b. major problems with electricity supply. the company has said that it will recreate outer wash elsewhere a church or church promises a house for a house but for residents like all rick schultz giving up is simply not an option. over here. my ancestors fought in the thirty year war with sweden in the seventeenth century and they defended this land and i will also stand firm and fight for my land i cannot imagine what happens if i lose this battle. reporting in outer wash germany and lucy catherine of all people in that small town are forced

out of their homes by a coal company some in london are pushed out of theirs by growing inequality. the findings show how the purchasing power of a wealthy or middle is increasingly pushing the most desirable neighborhoods out of the reach of middle class cling on whose salaries have failed to keep pace over the past forty years the policies have created this enormous gulf this enormous split so these cling on just seems like. they're trying to cling on to having some modicum of middle class existence are being beamed out of out of out of the plane is gone and it's not really a middle class at all it's just being split right down the middle so you've got the tops of the brand and then you've got everyone else the losers are being forced out

judy cox a utah mother out of spite but an entire line of t. shirts at a popular chain store at her local mall the reason that she bought them was because she feels that the images of nearly naked women on them violate her local towns decency code she wants to make it clear though that she feels the store has the right to sell this type of shirt just not displayed in an exterior window ultimately her plan is to return the shirts on day fifty nine of the store's sixty limit let's hope for her sake they don't have a no return policy i bring this up because this is a great example of a nonviolent form of protest that actually works because the scandal and more importantly it will make the company lose a few dollars technically the girls on the shirts are even fully exposed believe me i checked thoroughly and i would even call them r. rated the local communities have the right to be more conservative than the rest of the nation if they want to be and it's good that judy cox actually did something rather than just sitting at home on the air complaining about moral decay across

a small wedge shaped slice in the north of perhaps the most famous desert on earth this small country is known as the sahara gate. for fifty years to annual desert festival has taken place here it's an event that draws people from all surrounding countries. these people's lives a deeply intertwined with the desert. the many preparations for the festival began six months ago they've gone deep into the desert every day on an exhaustive training shuttle the main event is camel racing any prize in a sprint race is a great honor but winning the forty two kilometer marathon is considered especially

prestigious the young boys in the small town of doulas dream of such a victory. seemingly endless sand dunes begin just beyond the town's borders. like every other man in the region image hopes to win two years ago he and his camel came first in a sprint for us. i'm confident about this part of the race because my camel is quite familiar with the area but i do have some doubts about the long distance marathon i haven't entered it before with this camel. because the festival only takes place once a year imet needs to make a living for himself and his camel so he dons make up and colorful national costume to pose as an exotic sultan for tourists which is particularly popular with some women travelers. as camel though is less than impressed baeza pedigree racer and only interested in entering competitions he frequently and

loudly expresses his disapproval. omar's life is centered on his camels in the desert. i love this this in my life this is in my. in the in my heart. no doubt. know my time and this is not working interest now this is right as everything for me in life because this government love me for one time this government like me. a man has always shared a special relationship with his camels there was a time when he trained these beautiful creatures to appear in a hollywood movie that was filmed in the sahara. your own movie is named. i am more of. this i give it then.
