in the new. international news and comment live from moscow this is our c international with me paolo hello and welcome to the program ukraine's ousted president viktor unocal which has surfaced with a public statement which suggests he is a no mood to give up in the fires to hold on to power. as a details. story of victory on a cause which has turned into a genuine hollywood thriller here fled ukraine's capital of five days ago leaving the power it in the capital to what was then the political opposition which was quite hastily putting him on the wanted list branding him a criminal responsible for mass murder of ukrainians it has been speculation for

some time that you may still be in ukraine now he may be in russia it's not confirmed by any official source as of yet but we do know that president bush sent a statement to the russians a news agency that us which said that he is still considering himself the legitimate president of ukraine elected in a constitutional manner everything according to mr gonna call which which is happening now in the ukrainian parliament is illegitimate he said he will continue fighting for restoring the constitutional order in the country but at the same time he stated that he and his compatriots are receiving death threats from those running the show right now in kiev that's why you had to ask russia for help and providing security for him in the times when according to extremists are running the show in his country he also says that. the events which are now happening in the east and the south of the country are a clear indication that not everyone is happy with the way things are going in and he will spare no effort in restoring the legitimate constitutional order in the

country but as i've said not a single official has yet confirmed that he is in russia although the entire to us agency quote a certain source within the russian government that plea for help and for political asylum has been granted by russia and with the country more polarized than ever there is no better time for the ousted president to speak count according to international relations act. while technically still the having rights as the president of the ukraine after being driven out by this putsch in kiev he's released a rather powerful statement we have seen a complete deterioration of the situation in kiev this putsch has shown that they really have no power. to control what is going on certainly not in the entirety of the ukraine but even more locally the ultra nationalist mobs

which which they cynically made an attempt to ride the tiger of their violence into power are now in control of the streets so. i guess at this point must feel he has no alternative except to try to restore order to the country. and as the rise of the nationalist that's leading to trouble in ukraine south with a full frontal on ras now in the capital of the autonomous region of crimea. a staffer. over the night a group of pro russian activists got inside the local pollen here and raise that russian flag on top of it and now scores of their supporters have gathered in front of the parliament as well and they're saying that they're gravely concerned about what's been happening in kiev especially about more and more nationalists coming to power and they're saying they'll stand here to protect their national identity since just explain the east and southeast of ukraine where we are now are heavily populated by ethnic russians all of this is happening after clashes erupted between

pro russian supporters and pro ukrainian ones who are mainly crimean tatars and that happened on wednesday and it started as a political rally but then the tensions quickly turned into ethnic was. a lie how far more rain here in the crimea national slogans are being shouted alongside pro russian ones they share the same lens but definitely not the same political views. you would wish that we all came out today to show that without our approval no decisions will be maint we see the crimea is a part of. the majority of people here support russia in the u.s.s.r. the crimea belong to the russian soviet republic until nine hundred fifty four when the then soviet leadership decided to transfer it to the administration off so he

did crean and won the u.s.s.r. collapsed in one thousand nine hundred one and the crimea was left as a part of independent ukraine but for the last few centuries mainly ethnic russians have been living on these lands alongside minorities including the muslim crimean tatars but. the crimea always used to be russian and was passed over to the crane unlawfully it's time for justice to prevail the square in front of the a local administration building here in secret all we had was a. division. for political changes and if you are brilliant and gulf war pro russian with the russian flags there for you great works here and the dangers are reaching the boiling point. even the news about this week's that most of the crimean tartars have been siding with the ukrainian nationalist but they were never able to agree on much elizabeth tartars one of their own crimean tartar government as it was but

the idea is too far fetched to reach this point however nationalism is far more important than logic the majority here are expecting the local graveyard authorities to exercise the political will not do well in new ethnic offered in europe to break out you go to the school of reporting from the grey mirror. in a bid to gain ground through local muslim ta-ta community has been holding a raw is for the new king of leadership in the region however the group is a minority most of the area's populated by ethnic russians and over seventy percent of the people there count russian as their native language headlines across america and europe as well as in ukraine are speculating russia is on the brink of getting involved in crimea some are directly linking russia's snap military drills with the tense situation on the peninsula however russian military officials have denied there is any connection saying the maneuvers are being held hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away and or simply retain there have also been alarming

reports of the russian military moving its troops around crimea moscow's explanation is that they are non directly or forces serving at the local russian navy base that has been permanently stationed in sevastopol for decades nato and e.u. officials have regard let's send a warning signals to the russian government and he is off his lissa capital with more on their reaction coming from the west. well a unified message from nato defense ministers urging to keep most revolutionary ukraine in one piece a message from the alarm we did hear from. the nato secretary general for birch russia not to do anything that would quote escalate tension or create a misunderstanding he later told a meeting of the nato ukraine commission which is presently having a get together in brussels that the latest developments in the crimea were dangerous and irresponsible he did go on to also call on kiev authorities to leave the country forward in what he called an inclusive political process the new german

defense minister also weighing in at her very first nato summit let's take a listen to what she had to say the situation in the ukraine particularly in crimea fills us with great concern it is of the utmost importance that we prevent a breakup of the ukraine and that special forces in the country are strengthened so nato defense ministers as you heard there are unified and they are alarmed over the developments now as you heard from my colleague going off the crimean i was of course part of russia until one nine hundred fifty four and remains home to russia's black sea fleet ukraine itself of course had been caught between russia and the west since the dissolution of the soviet union back in one thousand nine hundred one in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven and we did see nato essentially work to set up a special joint commission it with ukraine to oversee relations possibly paving a way forward for membership and later in two thousand and eight there was an agreement that key of could eventually be considered for nato membership but that have been put to rest since so

a lot of questions now about whether ukraine will effectively visit the issue with the change in power and the upheaval that we've seen over in that country. and let's now get more thoughts on diets of political analyst as we train bondage he joins us now live hi beth mitri has there been any real evidence of russia flexing its military muscle as it has been claimed. no what so ever there was no evidence and i'm sure that there will be no intervention from the russian side but of course . certain people in the west and there are a nationalist rodeos in ukraine are interested in demise in russia and i think in a few days this won't even be remembered just like no one now remembers all the lies about the possible security threat at the sochi games or of all the so-called anti-gay laws which were actually never question so these allies will be quickly

forgotten but right now they're. just like before the sochi games give me a tree i'm not sure it will have a mop a nato member states in eastern europe with their bases and surely they have enough bases that that so special about ukraine for that. well i think that. this is a really a tragedy because you put ukraine before a choice it page to me either they you all russia. it was not the russian media created this high styria advanced civilization of choice it's now or never before this fatal illness i met last year now i think the u.s. officials themselves and tape it about what happened because of what happened in iraq was also a blow to their priest each after all these were three foreign ministers from the e.u. member countries poor and germany and france who guaranteed i stress guaranteed this

agreement between their position and you know which one share in power this agreement was dead in ten minutes it was not worth the paper it. was a huge blow to the e.u.'s prestige and you just disqualified itself from being an intermediary in future. and also attempts to enter nato by the ukrainian government were ended and i think in a call which is can call in to turn back to that course again not. well i'm not sure wasn't going to college was so busy mr. ukraine's trying to nato he continued cooperation with nato in fact he was very pro european. i would remind you that he did not cancel the so-called association agreement with the he asked to postpone it for financial reasons now we know. and solve all your government in kiev for their. government funds already so

because of these poor very material financial reasons you asked to perform the signing of the treaty and that was enough to put the e.u. in reach so basically i think. the west has been unable to cooperate with such a broad european president as you know which was it was corrupt it was ineffective but he was pro european how is that we're going to cooperate with other countries in eastern europe which may be which may be governed by less for european leaders than he would be an approach. how the ukrainian people going to perceive statements from a western military officials that have nothing to do with economics actually. well actually i think they're the cause of the in your story in kiev for is it's going to take i mean canceling this war which gave russian and other minority languages

some kind of status inside those regions of ukraine where you have national minorities more than ten percent of the population. are totally sensible law and they cancelled it first you know when they came to power so this was information and now we have these new prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk one of those people who . you know the aggressive attacks on my dad. now he's making this irresponsible statement let me quote and i just read it in ukrainian and it made me very angry and here's what you said russians dorm start a war with us is this the way to avoid. you know government business on your first day. isn't that confrontational so i think there this government will end up badly . not only because the economic situation is bad but also because. there

there was no case in history when he konami problems will be solved by entering confrontation with other countries. dimitri babich political analyst and me trace thank you very much indeed for sharing your views with us weber shedded and stay with us on c international as we close the form to all the latest developments in ukraine more expert opinion is also available for you on line as. a transit route to vnukovo report your best way to the heart of moscow.

this is also international welcome biog there's growing discontent in america's diplomatic community after barack obama nominated several of his big election baka is to be ambassadors especially after

a grueling on the senate showed the nominees to be no less clueless about their future postings his critics say about him was simply returning the favor for the finding that so he returned to office as governor to check our reports confirmation hearings ever feel that a number of president obama's nominees for a basset is ships have little or no knowledge of the countries there are signs to serve in. the real expert on china but said the man who is confirmed as u.s. ambassador to china one of norway's major political parties progress party now expects an apology from president obama after the future of bassa to norway apparently did know about their existence norway has been very quick to denounce. them. we're going to continue to work with norway to make sure the government has denounced them the go the coalition gun they part of the coalition of the government but i would say that you know what a guy three years already i think correct. it but what george sunis does know is

how to run motels and how to raise money he has reportedly bundler contributed more than one point three million dollars for president obama's election campaign he's not alone more than half of the president's political appointees are his sponsors and or fundraisers the reported quote unquote price paid by his donors for ambassadorships stands at nearly two million dollars. to those concerned about the qualifications of its nominees the white house has a diplomatic answer being a donor to the president's campaign does not guarantee you a job in the ministration but it does not prevent you from getting what many are worried about the message that some of these appointments send to the world the structure reinforces the perception that. the americans are not listening to their counterparts because the policies are made in washington and the people who are delivering the policy really are instructed to deliver what they're getting back

isn't going to have any input whatsoever into the decision making process that is of course if they know what washington's policies are do you agree that the u.s. embassy in china should be an island of freedom that's a question i going to have to get back to. work with the district i do not know the destruction policy precisely on that point career diplomats and some lawmakers here are now worried not just about some of the current nominations but about the standards for future diplomats they don't want the message to be oh you don't have to be an expert on the country where you're going to serve on behalf of your government and then there is the broader question what kind of diplomacy can you expect from such diplomats in washington i'm going to check out our team. trying to proclaim to buy some of the most evil company in the wild is once again drawing fire a new study suggests monsanto's round up. could be linked to

a whole lot more of it. just there is still there are two. honest international is accusing israeli forces of using reckless violence in the occupied palestinian territories and you were pulled from the human rights group goes as far as to suggest some killings may actually be war crimes paula spirituals been on live from jerusalem for more on this hello there paula so there are some strong accusations being made here yes they certainly are this amnesty international report that is some eighty seven pages reviews the behavior of the israeli army in the occupied west bank of a period of three years from two thousand and eleven to two thousand and thirteen and what it found is that the israeli soldiers behaved in an excessive and reckless way resulting in the death of multiple palestinians in what some might say is war crimes as you can well imagine the i.d.f. has dismissed the report it says that amnesty international has

a complete lack of understanding of the situation on the ground and that in fact during the same time period there was a marked increase in palestinian violence on the israeli army and on the list the report documents the death of some forty five palestinians in this time period it talks about a pattern of unlawful killings it also says that in addition to these there were at least two hundred and sixty one people who were killed in serious sorry who was seriously injured by live ammunition and an additional eight thousand who were seriously injured by other means including rubber coated bullets in the same time period there was only one israeli soldier who was brought to book he was sentenced to one year in prison with five months suspended and allowed to remain in the army albeit at a lower rank. or live from jerusalem paula thank you very much indeed for that. now why would one of the wilds most powerful oil executives join a lawsuit against shale gas training. explains in just

then walk a little bit there. welcome to the car as a report imax as are you know london housing is so expensive that even klingon can afford to buy here. for max not the calling from star trek these are called middle class cling on the headline reads middle class cling ons squeezed out of london property market so the financial times looked at all the recent data from savile's housing market and what they found was that the f.t. findings show how the purchasing power of a wealthy who are 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 well the government's going to put them all into the transporter room and beam them onto another planet where you don't need a job to work you don't need food you don't need water you don't need air you just got to get out of there because the policies created this enormous gulf this enormous split so these cling on just feels 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 place gold well the clean ons or i guess you would call the lower middle class and they're the sort of people who could afford to live in say camden town which is not too far from central london but now those very people who only twenty years ago could have afforded to buy there based on their average salary at the time now that average salary today would only get you to like further

out on the commuter lines in places like red bridge well i mean it's not really middle class at all it's just being split right down the middle so you've got the tops at the brant and then you've got the. everyone else the losers are being forced out of this immediate london area code where all of the easy money being printed by the social bank is available for terms undisclosed and nontransparent yeah and of course it proves once again that working for a living is a chump game because if you have to work for a salary. you have nowhere to live and you might have a commute that's two or three hours long to get into that job that can afford to pay for the house that you have way out in redbridge i missed a british working class you know these guys that come and eat their beans on toast and they're you know a little further of two pound or two pounds and then they go get a jack hammer in the middle.
