russia says it's setting up humanitarian corridors to let civilians out of the syrian enclave of eastern ghouta however it's not clear where the rebel and terrorist groups are occupying the area will allow anyone to leave also to come this hour an r.c. after a spectacular closing ceremony to the winter olympics we speak exclusively to fifteen year old figure skating gold move this to mean it's a get over about her world record achievement and the defiant three kids in greece struggling to find shelters in jobs some are resorting to drug dealing and prostitution to survive we'll bring you a firsthand account of their store. for

the welcome it's just gone seven o'clock this monday evening here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now we start this hour with the news that russia says it's setting up humanitarian corridors in the syrian enclave of eastern ghouta to let civilians out of the war ravaged area however it's not clear at the moment of groups occupying the besieged region well let anyone out meanwhile the russian foreign minister says this information campaign targeting the syrian government is underway moscow earlier predicted there could be provocative reports of alleged chemical attacks. fake reports are being planted in the media about chlorine allegedly used in eastern guta news outlets are citing an anonymous source from the us let me remind you we've been warning about such fake stories since yesterday and there will be more such stories from social media from the white helmets a provocative organization with a history of fake reports especially when it comes to chemical attacks for which there is no evidence so these provocations will continue with

a single goal to blacken the syrian government by accusing it of all sorts of violations and workarounds since well earlier i discussed this with our war correspondent motoric as they have been about why the u.n. security council resolution calling for a cease fire has not brought any pace cypher. resolution twenty four zero one is very open to interpretation it called for a ceasefire to be implemented in syria without delay and everybody in syria who is interested in doing so is trying to figure out how this resolution doesn't you know it doesn't affect them it doesn't mandate that they should also take part in this ceasefire because it includes a clause that says you can continue military action against terrorists and if you are a terrorist obviously you know this resolution has no power over you so you continue

fighting if you are fighting terrorists or radical islamists then this resolution doesn't doesn't affect you i that because you'll have to continue fighting the and you have a situation in which it just isn't working it hasn't taken hold in the east in good in africa in other areas in syria and here though the russians have just come out the russian minister of defense and he said there will be unilateral ceasefire from the part of the syrian government tomorrow for a number of hours to allow civilians to flee eastern ghouta eastern good is of course a small suburb just outside of damascus from which rebels jaish al islam the army of islam predominantly has shelled the capital for many many years now doesn't civilian casualties just yesterday suit you know this cease fire has not taken all in eastern guta outside of damascus and if you ask the people in damascus well there were mixed opinions about that. truce similar to the others

we will see it being violated this is a strange story and we are the ones who end up being harmed don't you see the children in school and women and students i mean i mean who should we feel sorry for for these released. we are tired of shelling every day totally to go to show off people here that i am against the truth because it only benefits the rebels the hope that it will be over and that no gunmen remain there now that the syrian government is making progress against islam nusra. which also has a presence in other radical islamist groups now that they're making progress against them advancing making gains suddenly you have another international scandal outrage more allegations of chemical weapons use from the same faces from the white

helmets are the pro rebel activists which the no issue with some regularity but they say this is politics first and foremost there isn't as much concern in the among the international community for the civilians in eastern guten many of whom are not being allowed out according to various sources the russians people on the ground they saying that the rebels are doing what they did in aleppo they're blocking civilians from leaving eastern ghouta their their human shields also what i mean we shouldn't they started the fact that even the eastern beauty were paid to be the focus of much media attention at the moment is not the only hot spot in syria no it isn't military action is continuing in you know rebel on claves as well as p.g. syrian kurds afrin we're talking about here where turkey launched about a month ago a military operation to liberate the area from terrorists as it's called in the

p.k. k. the y.p. the syrian syrian kurds turkey says these does not affect it it is you know it is powerless because it is fighting terrorists when you look at the u.n. security council resolution we see that fight against terror organizations is outside its scope therefore it will. affect turkey's ongoing operation in that one month thousands of people have been killed in africa tens of thousands of fled. shelling bombing airstrikes the days on end you have allegations of the video footage we verified of course for the video footage of executions looting robbery all sorts of things yet he says that we are continuing this anti terrorist operation and everyone came out two hours ago and he said this isn't working it isn't working so he will continue to talk to the u.n.

security council to russia to around three principal players in the syrian conflict and you know not a lot of optimism that this will tickle more aghast you have speaking to me earlier well political science professor maggette both ross believes the violence is also unlikely to say it's my eve to say we have to stop the violence overnight and cease fire overnight simply because all the parties involved have interest to continue on with this violence terrorist groups have instructions to escape violence. terrorist groups in this day of this they are so desperate that's why i can't believe that they can use chemical weapons as the last chord on the table. the winter olympics in south korea have finished with no way topping the medal stable let him

pick athletes from russia are all his role so now i'm came in thirteenth place that i've been a scandal having prevented many russians from competing. takes a look now at how russia fed in pain. well seventy medals chang is only minus twelve if you compare it to twenty nine team russian medals and saw a cheat this is not a mon blowing result but it still deserves a huge round of applause given that most russia stars weren't even violet here by the international olympic committee so basically it was mostly a team of olympic newbies but i'll tell you what did blow the mind of russian fans here in pyongyang it is the first gold medal by their men's ice hockey team in twenty six years the final was really tough neck and neck till the last second with surprise silver medalists germany and the red machine was all only able to show

who's boss on an extra time the marginal swing game was very tough for germany didn't get to the final for no reason it's great that we won that we level the school and then the final point in overtime i think this goal brought joy to millions of russian fans speaking of bosses on o.e. our won two gold medals at these olympics and the first one was no less pressure will wear men's ice skating to russian teenage girls top the podium after breaking two world records one after another within fifteen minutes but of course you can't share one gold and thanks to one extra point from the jury. of a fifteen year old girl from asia became the champion and we were the first t.v. channel to talk to her after she got off the podium in an exclusive interview.

before competition i fully distance myself from the outside world i didn't mind the attention from the journalists fans and the fact that i'm participating in the olympic games for me it was the same as any other competition of course i supported the other athletes from russia. but i didn't feel this big burden of responsibility maybe that helped me because of the book spoke with a go i just you were so calm of your performance and everyone said that the only source single tear what did you do to say so spoil the bus i work on so this i'm getting it is. actually there were no tears at all and i'm always like that keeping my emotions to myself but when i go home i always share all my emotions with my parents. i think when i get home i will be dancing and jumping for joy i hope by the time i get home i will realize what i have achieved. the court's going to the park guys if so you haven't been jumping and dancing so far because when you put it to work so you get what i get i only during my routine. what about your

relationship with. your rivals are nice but is it true that you're actually friends . with that yes absolutely there's we have to go to have a coffee or a chat on social media between training we always share funny videos on instagram and have a good laugh together yes we do a status mission the already that i was you know you said you don't notice the media attention but we have to ask you about the american skates actually wagman who criticize your routine saying the putting of a very complicated elements at the end is basically cheating what would you say to her. no one goes because it just it's i can say that this only encouraged me to do more and better so i wanted to prove even more that what she was saying is not true but you cannot prove anything to people like her you know they can i say let her compete in the olympics with my program and i'll gladly see how she'll manage to do it of course figure skating is developing really fast nowadays there's always a new generation younger than me maybe someday i might think like that too because

in my group there are already some girls who can do quadruple jumps but i will try as hard as i can to stay in sport as long as i can i'm already thinking about the next season is that everything is skating all you think about but there's still. for now i cannot think about anything else i try to be as careful as i can and not make any mistakes so i can stay in skating for as long as i can. but. graduations to her now in other news this evening tensions are rising across italy as the country prepares to vote in general elections this coming weekend police have been deployed in cities throughout the country to face opposing rallies either defending or slamming center right parties security forces expect further protests to on election day and beyond is the vote is not expected to produce a sickly winner and she says the now explains the cage figures on the political stage. it's nice general election a show like no other starring a convict

a tramp want to be a poster boy confused well let me break it down for you office contender is the grounds old age of eighty one and has a scandalous past of ford convictions and sex scandals and he's also been the former prime minister of italy multiple times silvio berlusconi i'm still young sure i'm ready to. well at least he's young at heart and he has plenty of supporters but. i will vote for berlusconi and the rest i don't care about he gets things done. due to his conviction he can become the prime minister himself but if his go italy party does well he could be the man to pick the head of the cabinet go it's a lead to coalition which spans the range of italian center right politics is thought they could gain their percent of the vote it's part of this coalition includes our next contender salvini and his leg a party for me and i thought. italians first.

tell us first wait a second doesn't that battle cry sound familiar america first and i'm sure there's more. myron trump is the first of us keeping most. the promises he made during the electoral campaign now just like trump salvini tweets about anything and everything moving on swath it contender now the young face of the anti establishment party only thirty one years old the leader of the five star movement is seen by some as a bit of eye candy and he makes weight promises to. we're the only political force that in recent years has made promises to the italians and this kept faith with those promises we're the only ones to renounce the privileges of politics while the politicians continue to obtain these privileges i give up my annuity and cut my salary. has the complete opposite of the party's found and stand up comedian but they grillo his cool calm and collected and it seems to have captivated young

voters i will go with tomorrow tomorrow will be a baton and point i hope that the five star movement comes to power because it understands us young people better they are more aware about technology they think about the future all of us young people but they're still a huge group of those and show which way to votes on march the fourth poll suggest almost a third of eligible voters are either undecided or will abstain honestly i don't trust anyone anymore. or mean they're all the same whichever political party it is they come here they make their promises i say this i will do that but in the end it was nothing. they might have their reasons italy has seen sixty governments and even more prime ministers since the second world war that's roughly new cabinets every fourteen months so we'll see if any of these cars can sway the voters and stay long enough to actually keep any of their promises. opposed to also show the

center left parties including the current ruling one are likely to struggle at the election however sandra goes easley's to the minister for european affairs and a member of the ruling democratic party does believe the large amount of undecided voters does mean that the outcome is not set in stone there are four million of italians for media of rebellious who say that they would go to vote they would go to the calls but. they have to make up their mind and that is why the opinion polls of us now are not very reliable because. we depend on the movement on the electoral behavior of these four million people and also there are people who are abstaining in the last elections who are saying they would have stayed in and it is the duty of all the political forces in this week to perswade. are possible of voters to go to the polls because these are elections they need to be

very important for italy for our positioning in the european union and i think that they are also very important for the possibility to relaunch their european union itself. still to come this hour thise ins of unaccompanied refugee children raise massive concern in europe and bring you details of the stories to just off the bright. good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. that you'd like to be for us this is what before three in the morning can't be good

deemed illegal by the spanish government is a look back then it had spain's biggest political crisis in forty years unfolding. many wasn't even in one thousand nine thousand when for a few weeks we decided to start the presidents vice president and other high ranking officials from the council on government i was

am i well madrid continues to insist that the referendum was illegal and warns that any attempt to norgay right the exiled catalan leader colace page demand would lead to the continuation of emergency rule by the central government the catalonia expert thomas harrington says that locals of had enough. what we're seeing here is the the results of the spanish government's tactic of divide and rule and the fact that on january thirtieth the two main parties of the catalan independence movement were unable to come to an agreement as to the swearing in of the exiled president and a lot of people felt quite deflated by the inability of the leadership of the movement to get together at this crucial time. and so i think a lot of people are feeling worn out so i think we're in a position or

a time where the world is feeling a bit deflated because of the failure of the leadership to get together and yet they're speaking out in the streets perhaps a more organic fashion. so that's how things are looking so far today here in r.t. don't forget if you get a chance to have a look at a web site take it off to the. fifty years ago britain and within to come together as a sleeping pill does this is what i mean because of the us has said this is the side effects were terrible but not on the road as shown in dodge one four board will be here not the war then boom boom up across europe. starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation. in two ways first will the
