where your mind of you was it's the exact same place that saw the start of the anti-government uprising back in november last year that eventually ended in the overthrew other than president yanukovych people burned tires ascending approves of a thick black smoke all over the city center the standoff began when city authorities tried to dismantle tents and barricades. right we're now joined live by ben harris he's a moscow based editor of business news or you're a magazine ben it's good to have you with us so quickly who are these people remaining on my dad and what are their demands now. well there's been purchases the whole time and the idea they said that they weren't going to leave after the government changed because they want to hold the new government accountable there's a sentiment of mistrust amongst the protestors that the new government is going to go its own direction and they want to make sure that the government is going to

represent what the people one says. there was a pertinent question that came out this morning and one of the crisis is the saying that you know we simply once again a cold which the former president and that doesn't mean that we signed up for a war and so there's a lot of people who are very unhappy i think you have to come back and realize again that the ukrainian population is now the green unified of what it wanted to happen next about the new government and that there's a lot of people who simply wanted to end the corruption and that didn't mean that they want to start a conflict with russia or a conflicts in eastern ukraine and that stuff is people who are protesting as the economy is going into collapse now given the situation today it's not the first it's the first not the first time the police have tried to action to spurs some of these activists on the square i we're going to now see more violence. it's possible as i said in the beginning i mean that the year of my projects is. real and a large portion of the premium population participated and believes in it but then

an equally large almost half the population were not in favor of what was going on and although that nobody likes you nickel of each other doesn't necessarily mean that they want to go in the european direction or that they want to have a conflict with russia and so they feel again like they did at the end of call bitch that they're being ignored and that the new government is not going in the opposite direction but they're less happy with that's and they're going to protest and they want to see themselves heard and the government is now in a chicky position where is you know what does it do so this is the same problem they can't you nick overseas do they crack down do they concede and the problem is is that this is a sort of polar choice between either going the school going ways and government con to both and i think it comes back to the main failing of this whole situation that there was never sit down around the table between all the interested parties and negotiate a compromise there's no compromise here and without compromise you can end up in street fighting so what does the government do now i mean you crazy economy is

currently in tatters now prices are going high people are unemployed there's a war raging in the east what does the government do you add how is this going to affect the public's mood. it is obviously black and as you mentioned i mean the economy is going to sink by some six percent say three percent of. the rule at the same time unemployment has jumped up to ten percent and is only going to get worse this is putting a lot of. right we seem to have lost a barrister moskos grace editor of business will come back to that story as it unfolds here on our team to national you're watching art international we're going to move right now to stay with. ukraine in a situation and most was a reaction to some of its sanctions last event a number of nations from russia's food market it comes in response to sanctions

imposed by western nations over the crisis in ukraine bid all of us is here to tell us more he's joining us live now peter. so why gather for a serious response from russia has just come out what's the reaction where you are . well what was the noun's by prime minister dmitri medvedev is that russia will ban the imports of food stamps from a number of countries that supported sanctions against russia. these nations are the e.u. countries the united states australia canada and norway and what this will mean is that they'll be restrictions put in place import into russia of root vegetables some dairy products and fish. this ban will last for a year that's what they've said so far and another move also ukrainian airlines will be plans for a russian air space now that's also covered by the same the same ban for one year

now dmitri medvedev in announcing this said that it actually gave it give russian industry and agricultural sectors the chance to put right some of the problems that exist in those sectors already and to take up the slack themselves he also said that there would be if their global partners of russia's global partners acted in a responsible manner then well these sanctions could go away this ban on imports could go away so that's the world looks like at the minute we're going to see a ban on some foodstuffs being brought into russia. thank you very much for that breakdown on at those latest reactions despite of the e.u. and the u.s. are saying the step is counterproductive political commentator for the e.u. reporter magazine and van dense he believes that some move the west could have predicted when project when he put russia on the blacklist. it's the only logical answer because our as a president of

a country. mr putin has to defend russian interests and if the voice of russian diplomacy is not heard and still there is no negotiated solution there is no there is no investment people are not really engaged into negotiated solution of ukraine there is no other answer than to have a sort of a mirror like reaction there europeans who will pay the bills it's not a bad news for russian speakers it's basically it's a very good news for russian agricultural producers because the world tried to do their best to feel they got up and entire family has been killed in army shelling just outside lugansk in east ukraine graphic footage shows neighbors pulling out five bodies from a basement where they have been taking shelter it's reported a shell hit their house causing it to collapse and bury them beneath. for the world

to exist. nobody. will. know. but just to give you. and this gigantic crater was what residents in a small town in donetsk region found after heavy bombing campaign. i kid denies that he uses any banned weapons in his crackdown on the eastern provinces but that's what they've been deploying craters like these are left by ballistic missiles now they strike a pre-determined target within a range of up to three hundred three hundred kilometers with a variety of warheads which can include chemical always like these in residential

areas in eastern ukraine have been caused by missiles from oregon apol for rocket launcher it strikes are seen as highly inaccurate and the area damage can be up to forty actors and of course mortar shells have been raining down on easing regions up for several months now causing the kind of damage that you see when they hit their targets explodes causing widespread destruction and wounds and moreover such rounds are highly inaccurate which means they can hit civilian objects even when aimed at troops military expert charles the shoe bridge says well because they meaning the military or army in the military should bear responsibility for the hundreds of deaths. states are on target to use weapons of course particularly if as they say they're acting in self-defense but at all times states have an obligation to safeguard civilians that means to say that they can't target

civilians with these weapon systems and they can't target areas in which civilians if you like are so predominant that it becomes a pop disproportion attack and of course the larger the weapon and here we're talking about ballistic weapons allegedly being used that have very large warheads that places even more onus of responsibility on those using those weapons to ensure that they don't disproportionate harm civilians and in these kind of urban battlefields that mark the east ukraine yet if you like it's almost impossible to use those weapons without harming civilians and so again their use could be very easily described and could amount to a war crime. and say it's why in gaza that is still holding but it's fear that that one before much longer that's after the signs fail to agree on extending the truce month long conflict has already claimed up to one thousand nine hundred lives most of the victims are palestinian civilians and this

correspondent who share reports only a handful of them like enough to get adequate medical help. every day patients arrive from guards or to palestinian hospitals in jerusalem and the west bank the market said hospital east room has received dozens of cases since the latest conflict erupted in this room he is six years old. that was mooted two weeks ago he has multiple business school fracture after the bombing of his house here deceived unconscious over the environment. in his first few days here khalid's life was maintained by a ventilator he's made a solid recovery doctors say and is now able to move his limbs his mother nihad has been by his side for almost three weeks only one relative is allowed to accompany such medical cases from gaza but they're only granted one day's access to israel.

again as leave the hospital because of my son and because i have permits to remain in israel for just one day but when i leave i show them the medical records at the crossing and they let me pass into gaza it is not easy to come out of gaza it is not easy to be coordinated there is checkpoints that are procedures that israelis have and therefore we're not getting enough patience although there are thousands upon thousands of patients who need support and help forty two year old pfizer was in her home preparing dinner for have family when her house was suddenly demolished upon her i asked if she felt lucky to be outside of gas or receiving expert treatment. it was a situation in the gaza strip is an absolute disaster how can i feel lucky when my people are dying. over nine thousand palestinians have been injured in gaza getting

medical treatment outside of its overstretched health system is like winning the lottery three year old the i mean a boob job or survived an attack on his family home in gaza as they gathered for the first night of the islamic festivals. an eighteen member family was wiped out leaving just this one child little yeah i mean still calls out for his favorites his older sister he doesn't know she's being killed along with all the others a relative. has lived through six wars between the palestinians and israel. no i do see either israel or the palestinians is winning we the citizens of the folder for war everybody is a loser whoever thinks of peace is the true human being. these patients are lucky to have temporarily escaped gaza to receive the very best in medical treatment many are looking forward to returning to their families in gaza but it is

his lawyer and as a whistleblower edward snowden has been granted a three year residence permits in russia he fled to russia more than a year after having disclosed the global surveillance projects maintained by the u.s. and the u.k. i do what i caution about joins me now live with before the details of the data what exactly is the best example development for snowden well as you just said it's according to the latest reports that we've been receiving agri snowden has indeed received a residence promise in russia that is valid for three years starting from the first august and that statement comes from he is a lawyer. and we are still waiting for the confirmation coming from russia's for migration now the former n.s.a. contractor allowed it in moscow back in june twenty third teen and he landed in the transit zone from hong kong and his final destination was act with the word however

during a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you'll almost never hear from a government bureaucrat he told the audience that in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we america did some things that were wrong we did a whole lot of things that were right but we tortured some folks here it is a rare thing to hear someone in the white house admit to torturing people after nine eleven but the question is why did he say this now please allow me to suspect first obama is the teleprompter master so if he loves to read off a screen i doubt this was some sort of slip up this was probably done consciously but why well it always helps if you look good by condemning the moral failings of previous presidents liberals and democrats love to hate bush so this could be subs kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture some nice and drown out the fact that he sure approves of showing civilians in eastern ukraine if obama really does feel that the post nine to.
