supporters and opponents of ukraine's self declared leadership clash in the southern region of crimea the lawmakers are at loggerheads over the whether to sever ties with the meanwhile in the capital. this is just the beginning ukraine's resurrection europe's was a river shouldn't you be started over my down for a nationalist see he posts in government with crowds once again crowding on to independence square the hub of the uprising ready to approve or reject a new lineup of cabinet members. yeah and then just leave these members of the public to be harassed part of syria patrols. vigilantes in armored cars patrolled the streets of a muslim neighborhood in east london sparking fears of

a clash between cultures. and any inquiry into the work of the troika of international lenders the struggling euro zone states of flags deep flaws in the system as the european parliament admits the bailout hasn't quite gone to plan. ten pm in moscow i met president good to have you with us our top story the ukraine uprising has brought months of chaos to the capital but now it's the country's south where tensions are boiling earlier today more than ten thousand people surrounded the parliament in crimea has main city these are pictures from simferopol where two rival factions are demonstrating for and against the interim government in kiev scuffles broke out leaving several wounded protesters also tried to storm the building where lawmakers were trying to decide on whether the region should break away from ukraine or reports. the potential as you can

see and feel. high right now completely. round in just one place now in the meantime in another city here in the crimea around sixty miles away in the city of sevastopol which is also ukraine second largest seaport pro russian protests have been taking place there as well for the past few days including today and put in front of the local administration building in the past few days the biggest protest gathered tens of thousands of people they've also elected a new mayor who is known for his pro russian views and has promised to protect the city i guess the national russians or the representatives of the right wing are currently coming to power in here would seem a small group of nationalist here as well. now you could see it i was moving

quickly like i said both sides are now are watching was it was. quite a tense situation. yeah tottenham is a region home to major industrial hubs and tourist spots the majority of the population there considers russian their native language not ukrainian and the core of the resistance is an able hub naval hub city of sevastopol ukraine's second largest port and also home to the russian black sea fleet while in the capital the interim leadership is about to announce a list of new cabinet members this is a live video from the crowd there that's gathered on independence square the list of candidates has to be approved by the gathering for the government to be formed thursday gathering also paying homage to those killed in three months of clashes that have an aging in the capital you can also see some flags flown by members of the crowd there some of those flags believed to have nationalist affiliations with members of the far right lining up for the top jobs in the government like sarah

show school reforms. we lead ukraine and europe's biggest battle in a vibrantly edited clip the right sector movement of ukraine states its mission and well something that the revolution here ended with the ousting of president jiang the call which its leader to meet the jarosz has a different view. you see what you know this is just the beginning ukraine's resurrection europe's reserve they started our my down. but does this resurrection require the storming of political plan to offices the torching of politicians houses and the manhunt for journalists from the new government at this recently the offer of your reward for the whereabouts of a russian journalist from the r.t.r. channel for all of the cole providing false information so you can see where we are heading now the jewish community in southeastern ukraine thought we had returned but on tuesday unidentified man tried to set the town synagogue ablaze with molotov

cocktails the police for masked men started throwing explosives. around eleven pm. oh security tried to catch the perpetrators but they failed. so. the right sector is the core and the voice of the uprising but the extent of its involvement in the acts of vandalism and violence walking ukraine now is hard to verify the attacks are often perpetrated by unidentified masked men finding who exactly they represent is difficult the word on the street is that there are several on factions operating under the my gun ban are now raising serious concerns about the rise of extremism just as the symbols of the tragic past resurface on ukraine streets we witness right now. a very hypocritical approach to politics it's especially by the european union and by the european states they say they fight against extremists inside the european union they fund extremists and

support extremists and outside think it will be. described as widely seen as a victory over the regime that might done remains intact with that right sector standing firm some of its members may leave independence square soon though possibly landing a job seen the real ministry one parliament forms a unity government on thursday. votes in from kiev in ukraine. going forward a former member of the european parliament things prospect of ultranationalist gaining some of the top jobs in ukraine is something the e.u. should be concerned about clearly we have to look very carefully at this government of national unity we should be bringing trying to bring people together some hard and difficult decisions have to be made to incorporate people from all parts of ukraine in the new government if it's a sectarian government of in quotation marks one the recent conflict and this is

just a recipe for further problems in the future with the continued to emerge in some of the far right. stick another look now at these live pictures from central kiev in independence square where a list of government ministers is being put to the crowd for their approval we'll be watching developments there on air and online you can also find out about some intimidation techniques the ultra nationalist leaders have been allegedly resorting to details on that on our t. dot com we'll be keeping on top of this story throughout the day. but turning to some other news now with the u.k. government struggling to contain a rise of islamophobia some britons are making the job easier now a group of activists so started patrolling the east london streets in armored vehicles saying they want to protect people from being harassed by radical muslims some locals fear the campaign is only furthering tensions as are reports. i want it to be so hard for the big kids given the christian prolific there's any patrolling

town halls on the hills of the small but make sure it's muslim patrols any political group calling themselves britain first have responded by filming what they've dubbed christie and patrols and this patrol comes complete with a big proof the bullet proof the whole thing is off the t. joins the as they took to the streets in east london where we having pulled. why the area because that's where. the group is being described as far right many of their members a former b.m.p. or e.t.l. they really get differentiate themselves from these groups and insist they don't want to be associated with violence pick tactics such as baiting when members stand with empty big cans to try and lure out the muslim patrols have proven controversial and some members of the creep had already faced the rest we'll hear

your individual. problems for anyone to be. sure your drug dealing are tricky to confront them do you think the. intimidating. despite having a poorly contented muslim patrols at the time the east london mosque has been singled out by the christian patrol for criticism the mosques say they feel caught in the middle and are worried the patrol could inflame fragile community relations our community certainly feels threatened by his antics turning up to. any part of the country. is. putting across the street. a strong message the public me. to understand is that none of these groups represent the mainstream community or society out on london streets and while

there's not much support to be found here i think first to throw the book with you you shouldn't have should love the story. yeah. yeah yeah i think you're right that. it's all going to be completely peaceful here there are going to be moments where i think there's a potential for trouble there always will be there's nothing we can do to avoid that. yeah just leave these members of the public. at the front line but that's not what we've been told since a number of arrests last year the muslim patrols have gone to ground it's unclear that patrols are actually still operating that will likely come as some relief to

policing community relations work is in this diverse area of london despite the christian patrol activity the muslim patrols that's not taken the bait so. the london spoke with independence party helmer who thinks the presence of vigilantes on the london streets shows authorities have failed to deal with social tensions there. we shouldn't need those patrols if we were policing the streets properly and that is the it's you we need the police to get a grip we need the streets to be safe for everyone whether they're indigenous or immigrants whether they're christians or muslims but we must also insist that people do not seek to impose their beliefs on others that is absolutely critical and we must have a situation where the same law applies to everybody we cannot have bits of sharia law incorporated into british law. meanwhile two radical

british muslims have been said to forty five years and a life in prison respectively for the brutal murder of u.k. soldier lee rigby in london last may the perelandra me down in their car before hacking him to death with knives in broad daylight the high court judge who had down the said and said the killers betrayed islam and all peaceful muslim communities in britain and added that neither defendant had shown any remorse over the murder. coming up climate of intolerance in the use power oust the council of europe's anti-racism watchdog criticizing germany for a slow progress at stamping out discrimination that and more after a short break. the

. will. of the young girls. for the future hunger. between two and three hundred million guns united states so you can act like they're not here and keep kids away from. the process that is the law and you know teaches them a lot of folks ability to pay through the eyes of children if we can't do it for our children future like the country the same.

fourteen minutes past the hour the european parliament has criticized the work of international lenders and admitted to flaws in the eurozone bailout program the report admits financial institutions have saved several euro zone members from bankruptcy but the troika of lenders is accused of failing to consult with national governments and just giving them all to maidens moreover the report says the troika lacks accountability and transparency and applies a blanket approach to all the crisis countries are his peer all over has more their hands on the purse strings of europe's cash strapped. with confidence in the euro zone's three biggest lenders known as the troika is wavering in terms of public debt in terms of potential rolph in terms of unemployment their results are worse now than before the troika intervention in the country like greece made up of the international monetary fund the e.u. and the european central bank the idea behind the troika was to get the most

indebted eurozone nations back on an even keel through bailouts and at times crippling austerity measures island became the first to leave the bailout program at the end of last year not before cutting sixty billion euro from the budget seeing salary squeeze by twenty percent in southern europe in hopes of a light at the end of the tunnel high especially for the generation growing up in detroit unemployment is not should be able to afford so we are going to be facing a. a large number of young people in countries like greece or spain youth unemployment is over fifty percent and these people have little prospect of getting a job and achieving some sort of economic security this is seen european lawmakers call into question the ability of the troika to deal with the scale of the crisis and to attack its methods the troika acts like acts like a governor. and visits its colonies in the south though here event tells you what

to do the measures they come up with are not they're not always very effective the credibility of its economic forecasts has caused most unease particularly concerning greece which is received two hundred forty billion euro in loans so far in twenty eleven the troika predicted economic growth in greece of one percent however the reality was a seven percent shrink just a one off you might think then in twenty twelve they predicted two percent growth which ended up as a further four percent downturn those running for election to the european parliament this year say that the current systems in place for trying to deal with the crippling debts in some parts of the eurozone just aren't working and that a new solution other than the troika will have to be found in the next parliament with some accusing the troika of trying to cover up its mistakes but there is quite a bit of propaganda going on right now trying to make people believe that there is

an improvement in those southern european countries in fact there is no improvement that i can see because the debt situation is verse than ever the banking crisis is still not resolved. r.t. germany. also. europe's anti-racism watchdog says the country is not doing enough to wipe out discrimination and homophobia in the country is urged authorities to take a firmer stance i hate speech. has more from berlin. germany has done a good job of lowering young people away from the neo nazis see in the report also praise of the country for a program that lets people applying for jobs anonymously in order to make sure that no one's discriminated for age or origin but when it comes to battling homophobia and racism the report says that germany simply has a lot more work to do one of the things that are recommends is tougher penalties for crimes against sexual religious or ethnic minorities as well as an overhaul of the way in which germany registers these kinds of incidents because right now there

simply is a lack of confidence among victims in the german investigation process as a result many victims of racist or homophobic assaults simply don't report them to the authorities as a major problem the council of europe also took issue with germany's penal code like the legal system here basically in many european union countries racial motivation for one example is considered as a factor in a crime when passing a sentence will not here in germany over here racial incitement as well as hate speech is only punishable when someone is found to have disturbed that piece something which is really quite difficult to prove in a court of law now the council of europe issues these types of reports every five years the recommendations aren't binding and of course it's up to the individual countries to decide what if anything to do about it but the authors of the report do say that intolerance is something they see as growing all across europe not just here in germany french lawmakers over prudent extension of the country's military operation in the central african republic paris and soldiers to stop

a bloodbath between warring clans in the ball state in december so in the campaign is a short term deployment but historian bruno jeb ski things the west is continuing to use local conflicts to further aims on the continent. new what will happen in central africa for for a long time so i think it's just a pretext. now is going to be long and we will stay very long. it will not be very quick it's just like ivory coast where the french intervention was done long good goal we can say and. ivorian people is not finishing it's the same case in mali it's the same in central africa basically i think problem is. you know there is a competition between western powers and. local tensions are you just used as a pretext to intervene there is something to be done but. it's

a little bit too late and the responsibility are partly. in france or or in western countries. james bond ones wielded a gun that could only fire when he himself was the one holding it as we report on our website such a weapon no longer the stuff of fiction you can actually buy it in the states or details online that are also their city of san francisco a beautiful spot but getting an unwelcome claim to fame as a watchdog group reveals that the golden gate bridge has seen a record number of suicides over the course of the last year or details on r.t. dot com. well you might think it's deja vu and you could be right but the tortures have now turned blue this time around the people carrying them have to work harder to bring the flame to sochi than their predecessors the paralympic torch relay has started and r.t.c. go has more. well the only how we can have to get said the torch from the finest

far as the far east of russia to where the paralympic games are going to take place and that of course is inside and they will have to cover the length and breadth of the entire country forty five cities more than fifteen hundred people are going to be involved and still we're going to be we're going to be seeing rather impressive displays off emotional physical and of course human in durance going we're going to be looking at people with disabilities to perform in some of the most amazing sports in sochi but because they have such a short period of time to do this the organizers decided that torch release will be happening soon will tenuously in several cities at the same time so so on wednesday it was the far eastern cities that have started but the real late and by the end of next week we're going to be seeing the paralympic torch lit out in sochi russia actually has traditionally performed rather well and paralympics in fact they came in second during the vancouver winter games and of course they are hoping that the

russian athletes and paralympics will be able to perform that feat during the paralympic games in sochi as well. as arenas said team russia no stream no stranger to winter paralympic victory eight years ago in turin they topped the overall tally with thirteen goals and in vancouver last time russia was just one goal short of finishing first now with a home turf advantage there is little doubt everything will be going their way and their chase for goal in their chase for gold already earlier met with some of those who've been able to overcome physical and psychological barriers to achieve sporting excellence you can find those stories on our website and are you today. finally in the bulletin israeli arms sales are booming but they're also coming under heightened criticism the industry sold more than ten dollars ten billion dollars worth of weapons in two thousand and eleven and twenty twelve but it's facing awkward questions over a court detailing the use of palestinian territories as testing grounds artie's policy reports. i think there is

a very big elephant in the room in israel very big fact in a reality which is seldom spoken about and that's as far as most people go on israel's arms industry but how has a country the size of the american state of new jersey become the world's sixth largest exporter people don't really ask why is it why the hell this small country became such of super power of weapons your time feldman is a journalist and filmmaker he recently released his award winning documentary the lab in which he argues that israel's occupation of palestine and also to have such a prosperous weapons industry what armies all over the world want are weapons which were tested on real so to say guinea pigs in a real cause we have this live course we have an availability of and availability of conflict and availability of war it starts with the drones for decades israeli

drones have been hunting for palestinian militants and they had an arms caches making as well the go to country for unmanned aerial vehicles soon to become the world's largest exporter on the defense front the iron dome system proved its capabilities in the last gaza wall lining the pockets of these really military industrial complex nobody wants to poke a gold because everybody. in the street is very upset it's a lot of money the politicians over here we have a solution the idea of deserve to have a solution years of fighting in close combat in gaza in the west bank have also given israelis the edge first weapons like the guy and to avoid assault rifles and now something that even hollywood is copping a gun that shoots around corners and as controversial as israel's west bank barrier is its state of the art security system is being copied along america's borders with canada and mexico i think the israelis. most exciting in the country because

they are developing something testing immediately in the field so the engineering the funding into a state goes directly to the army and can see if they do all day develop either good or not after three years of working on his documentary is adamant there is no weapon it's rather successful the exporting which the israeli army is not using in gaza ended with bad but it leaves the country with a lot to unsocial it's doubtful the hugely influential arms industry has an interest in peace because for as long as israel's holds on to the west bank and gaza it has a limbo tree for finding tasting and showcasing weapons systems and industrial military front that for a main secure policy r t tel aviv. and coming up our national report on firearms exclusively for young people let's stay with more on that you're on our team.
