which on fortunately doesn't sound anything. to teach me creation why you should care about humans. this is why you should care only on the. e.u. countries say they stand to suffer billions of euros in losses from russia's restriction of food imports imposed as a response to western nations sanctions. burns again as protesters dig in and fight back against police attempts to dismantle ten counts of barricades that have become symbols of the winter uprising in the ukrainian capital . also hope for a long term truce between israel and gaza fades as both sides failed to agree terms almost one thousand five hundred people have died in a month of fighting. plus n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden is granted a three year residence permit for russia with the possibility of permanent

citizenship in the future. welcome good to have your company once again my name is neil harvey and you're watching international. some e.u. countries have expressed alarm about how severely they will be hit by russia's retaliation to sanctions over the ukrainian crisis moscow has banned food imports from and placed a ban on certain foodstuffs coming from those nations that backed sanctions against russia so that's the united states canada australia norway the european union the european union perhaps most significantly it does an awful lot of trade with russia around the export of food stuffs now the type of things that are going to have

restrictions placed upon them are meet fruit vegetables dairy products and fish their prime minister dmitry medvedev said that this ban places or around a year would be in place for a year you could be under review should their global partners act as what he called reasonable east towards russia there's an awful lot of money at stake here over twelve billion euros of trade is done exporting food from here in europe to russia already countries searches finland. contacted brussels and said look if we're going to miss out on this type of trade because of sanctions you've put in place we need compensation our farmers need compensation from brussels to make up the shortfalls particularly in finland in the dairy markets they could stand to lose up to one billion euro from the finnish economy elsewhere we've heard statements coming out across from across europe here in germany the

trade union that deals with wholesale trade and foreign trade said that this could have a detrimental effect on the german economy in greece the main opposition party said that well the fact that the greek government the current greek government was just blindly following sanctions from brussels and from washington was going to have a detrimental effect on the farming sector there. in the agricultural sector there and in ireland the minister of agriculture. very concerned that there is risk particularly when it comes to cheese exports that last year island exported for half a million euros worth of cheese to russia and they got to be missing out on this over the next twelve months and experts think that sanctions will cross over into different economic sectors in the e.u. as well as russia it will have a devastating impact on particular countries including poland romania the

netherlands and you will have individual producers who will be hit very hard indeed if you have perishable goods you can't simply sell them to someone else the next day for the same price they're going to lose a lot of money this certainly gets you back to a certainty can jump can jump quickly from one sixth of the economy to the other creating employment raising prices especially in the euro zone and russian economies which suffer from a lack of economy groups problem right now. on our web site r.t. dot com we are asking you about the effect that the latest sanctions will have on both russia and western countries we take a look at the results in so far as we see here. a third most of those who voted think it all sides will be affected equally almost as many believe the sanctions will. hit average e.u. and u.s. citizens. the hardest year just under twenty percent say that average russians will

be the ones who suffer the most the smallest percentage is about sixteen percent of of all those who voted think that the effect would barely be noticed as economies will quickly adapt and compensate not too late to have your say they just had to r.t. dot com and cast your vote. now clashes have erupted in central kiev between protesters and police the city center has been shrouded in black smoke as people there burnt tires police and special units got the situation under control but they failed to dismantle all of the barricades in the ten counties here of central square for the protesters there pelted them with projectiles and attacked them leaving about fifty injured according to police officials ten people have been arrested and a criminal investigation opened under hooliganism charges and this is the exact same place that saw the start of the anti-government uprising in november last year now that standoff also began as police tried to tear down barricades and it ended in the overthrow of the then president here's what some of the protesters have said

power and so we see a lot of ideological differences katie personality fighting and really a power play among different factions as to who will chart the future course of this new ukrainian regime well the writing comes as hosts nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen there in english has more on how he was greeted and what he promised ukraine. nato secretary general has received possibly before mr welcomes in the ukrainian capital he was all over the place meeting where the various ukrainian officials and in one place in particular but he was meeting with the president poroshenko he actually received an award he was awarded an order of freedom and in return ukrainian officials have gotten well nothing new really they've gotten a lot of speeches from anders fogh rasmussen who went on to say once again something that he has mentioned before that russia is the aggressor that nato is

journalist and historian douglas valentine told us the government is likely to keep delaying this report in order to hush up the ugly truth. well there is a low bar. legal also psychological reasons for the administration to try and keep this is narrow. undisclosed as possible there are concerned about what will the american public think of this report so they're trying to contain the damage as most as much as possible basically along with would certainly. be only the notes on the administrator is how can we do this and people think we're responding to their desires and their needs and of course you have to realize the government doesn't really care and it's going to continue to do all the things it wants to do anyway it's just going to try to make this report look like they have the interests of americans.

coming up something very interesting a backstage pass to r.t. in the latest episode and used to enjoy. during a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you 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 since 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 some

kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture sound nice and drown out the fact that he sure approves of shelling civilians in eastern ukraine if obama really does feel that the post nine eleven torture was a shameful part of american history that as the leader of the executive branch of the nation he could do a lot to punish those who did the torture then and prevent it from happening again in the future but if i do obama this is all just a bunch of sweet talk but that's just my opinion. the strategy of china in africa is to build stuff and the strategy of america in africa is to bomb stuff so i think the africans are thinking you know i think we go with the belt stuff rather than bomb stuff and the u.s. .
