best way to the heart of moscow. crowds rally in the ukrainian city office of us topple in a show of defiance against the self declared government in kiev and voice cord for the new mayor chosen by the popular will on sunday. the real half into the e.u. it's not going to be the german path it'll be the greeks have experts warn the help from brussels and the international monetary fund may be too painful for ukraine to handle. in washington miles over whether to leave three thousand troops in afghanistan beyond twenty fourteen as a bilateral security agreement with kabul hangs in the balance. and british muslims cry foul over their government's campaign against radicalism and say they're being turned into scapegoats.

for pm in the russian capital you're watching our national with memory and joshua welcome to the program the political upheavals in ukraine's capital are sparking a backlash in the south and east of the country where crowds are making it clear they did not recognize the new pro western leadership the movement's gathering pace in the crimean city of sevastopol as r.t.c. corpus going off now reports for the past if you d.c. in the city. which is also the country's second largest seaport and home to russia's black sea fleet scores of people have been taken to the streets protesting everything that's been happening in fact they haven't recognized the new of shorty's and moreover they've taken down ukrainian flags from government buildings

and put up russian once moscow has been saying that it will not intervene into the situation here and has been calling on. western partners to follow its examples now . has also voted for a new mayor who's gained his supporters by promising to protect the city from the ultra right to see what you are referring to the nationalists more of whom have been taking a new government post here in kiev so clearly the already existing gap between the east and the west is now growing. we do want to see it with our own eyes and we're actually planning to go to see us cope with it later on to report about the events there from the ground while ukraine's new leadership has said thursday as a deadline to form a government having missed an earlier target date and despite rush hour once again urging the west to restrain the extremists striving for power brussels and washington have not questioned the legitimacy of the interim government political blogger william also believes that further escalation would play into the hands of

western politicians. the banks. germany and united states trying to get as much control. over as much of the country as the term at the moment. a certain degree of chaos which is why i do turning a blind eye to what i can only describe as nazis started to talk to them and i think that's because it's a question of divide and rule well luxembourg has become the first european power so far to voice concern over the rise of radical groups in ukraine since the turmoil began what's now hear more from artie's. there. it's quite of the expected statement given that the european of the consider the protests that have been legitimate yes that is absolutely correct in fact personally i have seen at least five european officials parading through the independence square in its early

stages making statements about the fact how everything is fine and dandy and is absolutely a. democracy in its best form but now we are hearing from the foreign minister of luxembourg who actually is the first person only an official level from the west to indicate that in fact there is something sinister going on on the my done also known as the independence square in kiev let's have a listen. the european union has no right to support extremists those who are using violence the nazis as you call them europe is familiar with them we have to fight all extremist forces including those in ukraine this is very important all ukrainians who hate violence and extremism need to find a compromise and restore peace. now about those who are russian foreign ministry is calling. for us to as nazis well let's have a look at some of the leaders in ukraine so-called revolution for example alexander

moves it's called he is a man of the. a radical views he's actually known for being ukrainian national and he's actually participated in the chechen war he went to the caucasus was fought on the side of the terrorists and prided himself on the fact that he personally had several tanks and armored vehicles and despite that he still managed to run for the ukrainian parliament a couple of years ago again he's one of the leaders of alter nationalist movement and then there's also a leg who is essentially one of the three leaders of the of the my done of the independence square movement and he is openly not just but also just a mythic making numerous statements to in that regard that have actually gotten him into quite a lot of hot water with the jewish population of ukraine so this is what we're looking at in ukraine right now this is the type of people that the west has been until now is openly supporting and if you look at the fact that just recently just

on tuesday in fact we have heard messages about the fact that a. synagogue in fact has been as it has been it's have to be one of the all of this is leaving all of this really should leave us somewhat worried in upper hands of as to what exactly is going to happen there next. week is much for bringing us. there meanwhile with ukraine's economy balancing on the verge of default the country's new leadership is welcoming western diplomats in the hope of getting urgent aid foreign policy chief catherine ashton has promised support and washington chatter will weigh into an addition to an i.m.f. package but as are. reports many routines are not so happy about saving ukraine from default. e.u. member state greece we don't have any jobs and at the same time we have debts to pay they should support us now that we're in great need e.u.

member states spain. i'm unemployed i have two children we don't get any government help and it's hard to survive each month but if we don't have money for us how can we give it to ukraine. and revolting ukraine a country without even an association deal with the e.u. . the e.u. is as plain with carrots and sticks the there's economic integration which was going to mean big parts of the ukrainian working population will see a deterioration in their living style the fantasy about answering 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 with questions about who will lead ukraine into the future and whether the country will stay together one things clear it's the rubicon to be that needs to be revamped first even before the euro my down protest kicked off there was a talk of a possible default in ukraine in november its external debt three hundred sixty

billion euro it was one of the main reasons why king of refused to sign the trade pact with the e.u. fearing it could aggravate the situation even the more you november last year europe offered only several hundred million euro to ukraine but with the opposition now taking the reins the e.u. is ready to give a whole lot more luxury maybe even members such as greece and spain can no hardly afford. that spain can't help now. i'm just speechless this idea is worse than anything. first they put greed. and then they all for ukraine all the money. was in from cue the ukraine. folly are closely following the situation in ukraine on air and online so how to r.t. dot com for in-depth analysis and minute by minute updates of what's happening in kiev and other regions of. nato the fans ministers will be

meeting on wednesday to discuss the western military presence in afghanistan this has the white house weighs up whether to start preparations for a total withdrawal of u.s. troops by the end of the year the signing about literal security deal may look unlikely at the moment but washington is reluctant to release its hold on the region as it is going to count now splines. it's not easy for the obama administration to communicate reasons why the u.s. should say ghana's them past twenty four teams the administration hasn't been able to sell those reasons to president karzai is like nato troops presence 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 to buy 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. else take a look at how the war has played out in the numbers the intervention and afghanistan has cost u.s. taxpayers more than five hundred fifty billion dollars equal to the average annual salary of ten million american teachers throwing up or shame is a widely used metaphor by the troops referring to the javelin anti-tank missiles

that cost eighty thousand dollars each and over a thousand nations committed their forces to the nato led campaign but while australia and ireland send just three and some soldiers respectively the us deployed ninety thousand but recent polls show that sixty six percent of americans believe the war was not worth fighting and want to add an activist we talked to thinks the u.s. has littered the country with all the ammunition they haven't done much incidentally done the thing they have provided to the afghan military forces uniform in a few outdated weapons of millions of dollars to spend in afghanistan cost the lives of more than a million afghans they have not invested in strictly into this logic in the nation building that they had in the simply intended to help build institutions in steve fuchsias building is good but if the fusion building can be done in cannot continue

to maintain itself and it's not sustainable in this situation building is of no use and so they're going to military they have trained them but they have not provided you with anything. and coming up later this hour a village goes up against a massive industry. my family and my fellow villagers here face a terrible prospect of our homes could soon be raised and our businesses destroyed our jihads to a small community in eastern germany who stand to lose their homes and livelihoods due to the expansion of the coal mining. the agenda here is clear banks don't want the competition they don't want the coin to succeed the central banks that deal of money don't want a competitor they don't want to cryptocurrency they are going to report the news in a way that reflects their interests unfortunately there is no sure objective news

source anymore except aside from the. world. science technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future of covered. the. economic up down in the final. day the sun the deal shanghai and the rest because i take it will be if we.

come back this is our team international face was rising islamophobia at home and the urgent need to tackle the threat posed by competence returning from this here in a war the u.k. government is stepping up its campaign against. but some members of the multimillion strong british muslim community now feel they are being victimized as laura smith reports. preventing terrorism a powerful phrase used to excuse all manner of the busa is 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 created what they're calling a cradle to grave police state they say the police strategy known as prevent monitors 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 to be enshrined in law and it's not the only example of politicians seeking to make capital out of apparently discriminating against muslims general patton 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 while i can 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 the. 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 batton argues 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 leads to. you know fascism against other communities this is really what will happen as more and more people think it's perfectly right to target women who wear. a code of conduct the worry that as policies like these become part of everyday life casual islamophobia follow pitting community against community and dividing society lower smith. also in britain and media reports as all homeless people across the european

union could potentially be given roofs over their hands in the blink of an eye with a shocking number of homes across the continent standing empty and on the news had to r.t. dot com for more details. also online evidence comes to light in australia suggesting that our planet may have become habitable much earlier than previously thought it's all there for you on our website r.t.e. dot com. right to see. first street. and i think that you're. on our reporters were very. instrumental. in the. wall

street violence has intensified in venezuela and government protesters have been putting up barricades in major cities including the capital which in the past twenty four hours has seen some of the most fierce fighting at least fifteen people have been killed in over two weeks of unrest president nicolas maduro has blamed washington for destabilizing his country at his latin american alice can bob explains the u.s. is keen to scale back the achievements of the chobits era yes there is a foreign interests absolutely terms of trying to roll back the kinds of contributions regionally and internationally that venezuela has accomplished 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. and the leader of the opposition has declined talks offered by president uhuru who says the protesters are planning

a coup backed by the u.s. administration can pot also thinks venezuela is getting in the way of america's economic domination of the region the role that business well 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 governments that may be more amenable to united states now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and south korea says its border has been violated by in the war theory in patrol boat the vessel spent several hours near an island on the disputed border before turning back after warnings were issued the incident follows souls' joint military drills with the us which angered

. really jets have reportedly attacked to hezbollah opposition on the lebanon syria border lebanese authorities are investigating reports and syrian officials say the militant group uses the area as a missile base and training camp there relationship between has below and israel has been tense since the month long war in two thousand and six which and it in stalemate. and one of the world's largest bitcoin exchange platform sam ti vo x. went offline a with its founder on account for earlier this month a website indefinitely hold of bitcoin withdrawals after detecting what the cold unusual activity this has caused the digital currency to drop or eighty percent of value and said babbitt point supporters has been advocating for its wider use you can read. on while the spike to tams to switch to greener energy last year germany produced its highest level of bro brown coal electricity since nine hundred

ninety but there is one village in eastern germany that risks losing everything over countries hunger for fossil fuels lucic off the reports. welcome to out of 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 local skeer 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 my fellow villagers here face a terrible prospect our homes could soon be raised and our businesses destroyed but . it's what's beneath the land an estimated two hundred fifty million tons 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 for a late night or brown coal and you can see the vast size of this operation the coal mine behind me is already the size of several small towns but the company field wants to grow this we dish energy giant wants to double the size of the open cast mine vote in following these 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 with. it makes me furious just. for 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 question of all 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 involved 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 there is a through villages will basically be gone if the plans of the parents. go through the. to be moved this is to have

a trough going on our laws protect the interests of the coal mining industry and the industry managed to convince politicians that if the country abandons cold l.b. major problems with electricity supply quite honestly the violence intimate the company has said that it will recreate outer wash elsewhere a church for a church it promises a house for a house but for residents like all rick schultz giving up is simply not an option and of off on him by the here you and my ancestors fought in the thirty year war with sweden in the seventeenth century object 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 the sea captain of that coming up next next hider gets the bottom of why the long the middle class can no longer afford to live in their own neighborhoods.

a transit route to vnukovo report your best way to the heart of moscow. 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 cause 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 by 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 the country if a housewife from a small mormon community can stand up to the man what's stopping you but that's just my opinion.

i marinate join me. in part and. very conservative and much much. only on the bus and. welcome to the kaiser report by max kaiser you know it's a little pool of money death. people are falling into the world. the world pool so they have boundaries between exchange mt gox faces

whirlpool of death as prices drop to lowest point in six months and the latest chapter in the continuing story mount cox troubled big quinn exchanges further spiral down the plughole as it released another statement today citing security issues at its tokyo office as the reason withdrawal capability hasn't been returned so you know when they announce this headline is a few days old the price at mt gox went to below one hundred dollars now many people on you tube were surely king. as well of course on the other exchanges it was always above six hundred around six hundred dollars so you can either look at it as a shriek that big queen itself is crashing or as this tweet from jim rickards who is an expert in markets and finance and debt and debt restructuring and

bankruptcies if big coin two hundred dollars at mt gox and five hundred eighty dollars at coin desk it's not two different prices market saying sixty five percent chance gox fails well of course going down is not an exchange that's an index of different prices on different exchanges and the mt gox price is an indication of the faulty mechanism that they've used for price discovery that we've covered on the show many times we've talked about it not up to the task and so they fire. they were overwhelmed and they're probably going to go completely out of the picture and other exchanges will take their place and the bitcoin price is it will recover because general technology big call in the cryptology is not being questioned here of course it's not as strong as macs going cryptology which has a superior cryptology and a faster hash rate this is why

a lot of people are now moving into macs coin because they realize it's a period to bitcoin in many ways bitcoin however does have a first mover advantage and it is widely adopted and there's a lot of services and goods plugged into it but i wouldn't be surprised to see max going to twenty thirty forty million dollar market cap in the in the short term so the price fell down to below one hundred dollars at mt gox went back up to three hundred dollars three hundred forty dollars then fell back to two hundred dollars now during that whole time mostly here a lot of shriekers and it's also good to remember that this is what regulators this is what central bankers this is what politicians are hearing they mostly hear the streakers because they shriek louder than most than normal people who are understanding like jim rickards could look at it and say well the market is just pricing in a sixty five percent chance that mt gox will collapse just like argentina for example their bonds on the face of it will say one hundred u.s. dollars but you can buy them.
