that's what's set forth in the minsk agreement.then, most important, the the minsk agreement states this should be done in coordination with d penst and. no one intends to coordinate anything. that's point one. point two, it stated in the minsk agreement there should be the implementation of the law. the law was already passed in ukraine of the special self-governing status of those territories. they've adopted this law if implementation has been postponed and that means the minsk agreements are not fulfilled on this point. third, there should have been the amnesty law. how can one engage in a dialogue if they're all being prosecuted or brought legal charges against them? hats why the minsk agreement say a law on amnesty must be adopted, but it's not been adopted. and there are other points as well. for example, conducting local elections. it's been written in the minsk agreement to adopt a law on local elections upon coordination with donetsk and lou hans. thhans. their representatives have proposals on this law three times but no

if one side says, we have complied with the minsk agreements, it is not true. all of these points must be implemented in coordination. there has been no quarter nation coordination so far. as for the special self-governance of these territories, within 30 days, nothing has been done. it has postponed. the entering into force into this law has been postponed. fullis why we advocate implementation of the minsk agreements. charlie: you really believe that? pres. putin: there is nothing to believe. it is written on paper. it is written. read the document for yourself. i am telling you there has been no carbonation as law -- no quarter nation at all -- co-ordination at all. charlie: the secretary of state also said it is important to implement the minsk agreement, but also for separatists to give up the idea of independent elections. john kerry said that yesterday. yes, i know the position of our u.s. friend. i just mentioned this. i am forced to repeat it. the minsk agreements say a law on local elections must be passed in coordination. what happened in reality? th

according to the minsk such issues have been given to them after consultation and poroshenko warned not agreement but take control over the border between east ukraine and russia. >> are you still confident that minsk two is the agreement that is going to lead to a peaceful settlement where there is more autonomy for the eastern regions and donbas you call them to i'm kate kiev? >> the minsk agreement should be continued and it's still alive and we have very positive things during this in ukraine where in we see that kiev stop it terrorizing night after porteshenko's neighborhoods so in there and it's very good. and when school open and people here will visit the place without terrorizing others and we still believe that both sides and should philosophy minsk agreement and kiev after consultation should give special status and then kiev should agree special law on the local elections for the eastern ukraine and then dunbar should have local elections according to this law. but kiev denies to prove special war on local elections. >> okay, thank you very much, live from moscow, thank you.

confident that only through implementation of the minsk agreement of february 12, 2015, can put an end to the bloodshed and find a way to dialogue. the reason they need to coordinate with them is provided by the minsk agreement, the key element of the government structure. they will become a central leak in building a common space of security and economic cooperation both in europe and eurasia. ladies and gentlemen, i have mentioned these common cooperation on purpose. not long ago in the economic sphere with its objective market laws we would all live in dividing lines. we would build on transparent and jointly formulated rules including the wlo principles stimulating trade and investment and open competition, nevertheless, today unilateral sanctions circumvent in have become commonplace in addition to pursuing political objectives, the sanctions serve as eliminating competitors i would like to point out another sign of economic selfishness. some countries have chosen growth and exclusive with the establishment behind the scenes in secret of those country's own citizens, the general p

what does this opposition mean, especially when talking about the minsk peace plan? this is threatened to derail that? -- does this threatened to derail that? >> there are two groups. there is a nationalist opposition. one is a democratic group. we are at a stage where the situation is very tense. there was escalation of until very recently. ukrainians are not happy with the way things have gone. at the same time, the general mood among ukrainians has changed from a year ago when people were much more gung ho. certainly around july and august, they were patriotic. i think realism has set in and the desire to make peace at whatever cost is the prevailing view of ukrainians. >> piece at whatever cost. thank you. you are watching "dw news." still to come, the world loses a movie master. we take a look at the legendary writer and director, wes craven. all that in more -- all that and more in about a minute. don't go away. we will be here. >> changes, transformations. variations. masterful interpretations by international orchestras and soloists. the beethoven fest 2015 f

they've branded the minsk protocol's ceasefire unconstitutional and vow to keep fighting. >> in the regular army, even when facing direct aggression, they don't get the order to fire because of these minsk agreements. what good are agreements, when a tank is rolling toward you? nobody wants to be cannon fodder. that's why they come to us. >> lito's family knows he'll soon be heading to the front. before the lights go out, he sends a text message, "mama, everything's fine. i love you." >> i can remember at university there were just as many female as male students in my class. and then when i got my first job there was still quite an equal balance between men and women in the office. but you very quickly notice that higher up the hierarchy, a lot of the managers are men. and statistics show that this is also the case in france. but there's one island off the northwest coast of france, where women are most definitely in charge. >> the atlantic ocean along the french coast can be pretty rough. but the people who live here, the bretons, are used to it. many here make their living from fishing.

people are saying to secure peace in the eastern parts of the country so what does this do for that minskdoes it put it in jeopardy now? >> i think that one of the issues in the minsk agreement is one of the concessions the president porteshenko meant was a change in the constitution and internal in the country to have a constitution that will be dictated to you by external powers. nevertheless we understand and i think most ukrainians understand in order to fight against russia and russia's aggression we will need allies and if the allies are saying we need to make a change to the constitution then most ukrainians are prepr paare make that but it's not going down with nationalist type of circles. >> if this is not the way forward what are the alternative? >> there is no alternative and the reality is we have to access this because ukraine cannot fight because they have the second largest in the world and ukraine cannot fight russia on its own and there is no alternative and we have to accept brussels in washington and berlin and making attempt to appease putin and we doubt that appeaseme

i think one of the issues of the minsk agreement -- well, one of the concessions that the president went a change in the constitution, which was highly controversial internally within the country, because it's very strange to have a constitution that will be dictated to you by external powers. but ukraine can't fight russia. russia has the second largest military in the world. we have to accept the dictate of brussels and washington, and berlin, they are making an attempt to appease putin, but when you have an aggressor that is hell bent on war, it's difficult to find a compromised position. >> police have forcibly remove prod testers who occupied beirut's environment ministry. dozens of protesters occupied the ministry, they are demand that the minister resign over the ongoing garbage crisis. there have been mass demonstrations over piles of rubbish that haven't been cleared from the streets. the protests are also being fuelled by corruption in the government and the failure to provide basic services. our correspondent joins us live from beirut, we have just seen protesters being remove

russia is prepared to demonstrate a commitment to complying with the agreements that were reached in minsk. thus far they will been unwilling to do so. >> in answer to my question, you said it may enhance mr. putin's status, i imagine you mean back home perhaps. >> what i was alluding to is i think he thinks it may enhance his status. we've seen russia certainly over the last year and president putin directly over the last year seek to position russia as the chief competitor to the united states around the world. and the president has previously described russia as a regional power to illustrate that they do have influence in the region and are seeking to hold on to the influence that they may be losing in places like the middle east. and that certainly is different than the kind of influence that the united states wields all around the globe. >> you have sometimes personalized things as it relates to president putin, and so has the president. the president once said that putin's shtick is to look like the tough guy. he once also said he is it have a public style where he likes to sit back

what we would like to see is russia live up to the commitment that they made in the context of the minskgreement and the president has been quite clear since the first day that the sanctions were imposed that the united states would be prepared to offer relief from the sanctions as soon as there is evidence that russia had actually followed through on what they said they were going to do but we have not seen that so far. that is where the sanctions remain in place and that is contributing to the kind of economic weakness that we are seeing in russia right now. >> on the next washington journal, pope francis's visit to new york, the second video on his u.s. trickery than a review of the popes speech to congress. the tone, topics, religious significance, and political implications. washington journal is live every morning at 7:00 a.m. eastern on c-span and we welcome your calls, and comments on facebook and twitter. >> the c-span network featuring weekends full of politics, nonfiction books, and american history. the pope's visit to the united states continues on saturday as he travels fro
