very enthusiastic about what they call people who had turned a blind eye to the paramilitary and neo nazi elements on the streets of kiev have begun to back away now the west and sponsors are rather worried suddenly we begin to see criticism of the new regime in kiev so pollution of russian language rights of its rescinding of the ban on neo nazi symbols and so on suddenly the west begins to say perhaps we have and wish to kill whoever it is in fact maybe destabilizing they've realized in fact that the cooler that overthrew the cove it has in fact not in the end of the drama but only the first fact but of course it's sign i think of it that childish almost unbelievably incompetent attitude on the part of the nato countries that they facilitated this crisis without thinking through what happened that you are unleashing forces of nationalism of fear that can become uncontrollable. what the crimean authorities were asking moscow for how the leader of ukrainian nationalist group right sector has reacted rather reached out for help to one of the world's most notorious terrorists on a social ne

and right sector another neo nationalist the neo nazis these are fascists we now have fascist reallyvery dangerous conditions here that could lead to a civil war in ukraine or far far worse political conditions so in terms of your question what can u.s. view president obama has really put himself in a an international very embarrassing situation where he's he must do something now because he said he's going to do something he can't really do much pete cause he can visit g eight basically is going to be really it's going to the power is going to shift to the brics countries that brazil russia india china and south africa if the u.s. pushes this idea of kicking the russia out of the g eight what's your take on the future of this crisis do you see it escalating even further. extremely dangerous though the context here is that we have washington that is living in this little bubble of unreality this reality distortion zone it's not connected to the real world it's going around the world issuing orders instead of. working in various other countries and powers around the planet to negotiat

. >> why do you think ukrainian lives are threatened. >> ukrainian lives are threatened bus neo-nazis is the leading political force in kiev right now because they already killed many people because they capture it - capture members of families, or some members of ukrainian parliament balls everybody could see the ukrainian can be beaten and then he was put to the put like policeman doing this by doing this to their place where they were speaking. now we see thousand of violence from the neo-nazis in ukraine... >> is the real reason why russia is angry is because ukraine at the moment is a serious foreign policy defeat for moscow. and he can't -- >> no. >> -- and vladimir putin can't allow a domino effect to come out of the foreign policy defeat. >> no, not. ukraine not defeat of russian foreign policy. you crane is defeat of -- ukraine is international of the globe. ukraine has clear cow de tar and military come to power against the political happenings. russia will be able to protect russian national interest and life of 45 million ukrainians who speak the russian language and want

the so-called lawful government, a ban of neo-nazis are operating in the country.s to take over the government. they want to take over our army. i would like to ask those venntives from the west? are you blind? are you forgotten fascism. i would like to remind you i am still the commander and chief of the country. >>> ukraine's ambassador to the united nations joins us now. >> so this is something what mr. yanukovych is saying for the last couple of weeks, but the truth is that his normal legitimate president because he run out of the country, betrayed his own party, that's why he can say anything as -- as a citizen of some -- some state, but he is not legitimate president. we have a legitimate parliament, and a legitimate go. >> he says that people like you are working for the neo-nazis and fascists, and the presidential building was taken over by armed men. >> yeah, so this is something what moscow keeps saying, bringing these labels to all of our nation, particularly to the western part. this is awful. this is awful and we absolutely can't accept any kind of the

according to the german government there's been a sharp rise in neo-nazi crimes in germany in recentrs. most of them targeted at germany's growing immigrant population, including turks and immigrants who are called gypsies. for his part he counters that extremism by visiting classrooms, telling his story, and reminding students that there are echos of the past all around. >> translator: what shapes my life today are my childhood experiences of being mocked for being a jew, being isolated for being a jew, being attacked for being a gypsy, as people said at the time. this is something that must and i believe can be conveyed to young people. that's what drives me to be so active today. >>> this ongoing remembrance of the holocaust is hardly limited to the few remaining survivors of the war. germany has been putting it in all its major cities and the commemoration also comes in more personal ways. >> i hope that it will never happen again, but if it would start again, it would start not anywhere, but here. in our minds. wolfrin is an artist in munich, the city in which adolph hitler call

what unites neoconservatives in the west that we get ready neo nazis in radicalism is intact is of course the hatred for russia they would do anything out of extreme to get to russia but the basic reading crisis has he considered the reminded once again to the backs of the evil the train tickets russia that combines you considered using walk into the briton. i think ross elsewhere when roddick will be on nazis in ukraine and radicalism is to check if the treaty is a kind of alliance is targeting russia and the suggestive reminded me that i did sing kind of like or denying that tenth of march saying its website was hacked. is this some kind of damage control now. oh absolutely i think that it's become rather embarrassing photo for the west region is the fact is that they use if i like it that people in power in kiev. now these two statements coming out of extremists and that i'd be good to see them in complete denial. i don't think that the right seconds going to sibu for it. i tell from this now but it's old i think we know that they thought of that. i think the church and radicals. we kn

these are neo-nazis that have the swastikas and hitler salutes and everything. it looks just horrible. i can't understand why the media hasn't been reporting this and the congress people aren't really explaining this. guest: first of all, please understand that there is a great deal of russian propaganda that is paid for. the russian government does skew stories. i have actually, as i've spoken out for ukraine, i have watched sometimes how they have skewed my words. there is a downdraft of propaganda. that is all part of the struggle that the situation involves. there is a party that is called the svovoda party -- that is in ukraine, and some of the individuals who have been associated with it you could say are right of center in the sense that they are intolerant of other people's religions, other people's points of view, and some have been banished from the country, actually. that party has been made part of the governing coalition that the parliament of the ukraine is trying to hold the country together right now. trying to conduct free and fair elections in

we had a lot of ukrainian hardcore neo nazis traveling out to chechnya to fight in the so-called war for separatism from russia so there's always been this link for the last twenty years or so between the most sort of hard right extremist factions in ukraine and the islamist cause in chechnya the radical islamist cause so this is an alliance that goes back quite a long way really and of course there's a third string to this alliance which is the neo conservatives in the west what unites the neo conservatives in the west with ukrainian neo nazis and radical islamists in chechnya is of course their hatred for russia they will do anything however extreme to get at russia and so i think this ukrainian crisis is sort of remind because once again this sort of axis of evil that's ranged against russia that combines neo conservatives in washington and in britain and in france and elsewhere with radical the other nazis in the ukraine and radical islamists in chechnya this really is a kind of alliance that is targeting russia and this is just a reminder really apparently it's not just the noto

rocked by protests against the new leadership in kiev with many raising the alarm over the rise of neo nazi groups crowds are rallying in the city of the net six now and they're chanting russia and some of the morning a referendum on a possible session from ukraine brought a nail is there for tea. and here in donetsk where again thousands of people have demonstrated on the street said this time in support of a president victory on the coverage he was ousted by the to impose government in kiev thousands of people gathered on the square and eventually marched on the huge administrative building where there are demanding the referendum that they've been calling for for a number of weeks now so after we saw the referendum on sunday i see crimea join the russian federation this week it seems the people in donetsk have taken inspiration from this and demanding a referendum of their own to bring them closer to russia because those are people who are saying that they did not choose the authorities in kiev but also that the authorities in kiev don't seem to be listening to what to what they've been

it's a neo-nazi organization of a bunch of skinheads. i was the founding father of that club. >> i got thug reich tattooed on my belly. the reason why i got it is we were thugs. the reich was for the third reich, the whole nazi aspect. i combined the two, and came up with that. it almost became a motto for a lot of guys. >> i don't even see the tattoos anymore. i'm used to them because i got to know who he is and like instead of just being someone on the streets and seeing him and they judge him, i see him for who he is. >> blood and honor was an organization that was created by the late ian steward donaldson, the lead singer of screwdriver. it was a skinhead organization in the late '70s, early '80s. in the '90s, it split into two different factions. blood and honor international and blood and honor combat 18. the blood and honor i belonged to was combat 18. or c-18. the 18 stands for 1 and 8 for the letter a and h for adolf hitler. >> is that good? >> when i saw pierson born, i saw god that day. that was one of the strangest, greatest

ground by violent mobs and a vanguard of what can only be described as all true nationalists and neo nazis particularly of such groups as the right sector and so on. so russia feels that this government which was formed came to power by force overthrowing a democratically elected president mystery and a covert who is currently forming a government in exile in russia. in rust off the dawn of the last we heard last evening that. what is happening in kiev is outside the bounds of all constitutionality all legal democratic process and we have seen some quite frightening developments in the past week under a wave of revolutionary terror across the ukraine pogroms of party of regions and communist party members we have seen these political party offices burned to the ground in mass numbers we have seen attacks on cultural and religious. and russia felt that in order to secure its border and to protect the right of russian ethnic citizens in the crimea and across the ukraine that they have been. forced to act and it should be said that. russia has identified that this is a direct result of wester

they are a neo-nazi organization. it is a simple fact.u can watch john mccain meeting with their later, and it is amazing how often john mccain meets with terrorists. host: robert, where did you see that? caller: you can look at it on many sources on the internet. the internet is delete -- the only place to get information anymore. media is useless. guest:. guest: have not heard of that before. host: what are you watching closely on the situation in ukraine? guest: we are going to watch what happens on sunday with the vote. there is a lot of coercion and pressure going on on the people in crimea. and then there will be a referendum in moscow, that they will have to vote on, whether to accept and have crimea become part of their country. in the meantime we will continue to let putin know that he will have consequences for doing this and that is not the right thing to do. he needs to respect the '94 agreement, he needs to respect ukraine's right to sovereignty and to be a free and independent country. host: this topical, but for the health

there are neo-nazi groups that form. when they get out of prison, they have those cells that coalesce and lead to that group. it has been on the fbi list of terrorist's for the past 20 to 30 years. >> guilt by association? >> guilt by association is when you strike a target that has nothing to do with your enemy directly. i give you an example. madrid, so spain, 9/11. al qaeda killed 200 people by bombing for trains at the madrid train station. why? why kill spanish people? spanish tourists? because spain had troops in a -- iraq. and people like osama bin laden were upset the west was in iraq. they saw the spanish people as helping george bush in iraq. that would be guilt by association. it could also be an example whereby a leader in africa is considered -- the leader does not help his people, so the local people think the leader is on the same side as america, as great britain. that would be guilt by association. so you have rebellions against about leader. you see them in rwanda, in the congo, various african countrie

the ones responsible for the ukraine revolution is mostly neo nazi protestors bringing back cringing memories from world war ii. he says if armed forces are needed it will be justified. >> even if i take a decision to us use armed force it would be legitimate corresponding to international law and protecting the people who are closely tied to us historically, culturally, economically. >> yesterday president obama saying there's still the opportuni opportunity for russia to work with the international community to stabilize. people are blasting the way the president is handling russia saying he doesn't understand the geopolitical threat. >> it is time we woke up about vladmir putin time the administration got real and we are on the verge of possibly seeing a move to reassert the old russian em tire which -- em which is mr. putin's lifelong ambition. this president does not understand vladmir putin or his ambition. >>> a g-8 summit is in june unless they change their position. >> oo u.s. counter sertism officials are involved in the frantic search for this woman, heather umarova. she f

and you have to look at the kiev government and say that this is really a government which has a neo nazielements to its core and you can blame crimea for not wanting to be a part of a system in a country which really wants to crush its own culture. not just crimea where people are saying they're unhappy with the interim leadership in kiev of the eastern part of the country seeing an arrest people in these provinces have been holding and rallies for several weeks now a massive rally happened in dynamic for example people calling for the same choice crimea has now have and condemning the self declared government of the city saw clashes between pro and anti-government forces thursday night that left one person dead in nearby harkov thousands of protesters were on the streets some of them waving russian flags also some of them occupying offices of far right government parties on friday night two people were killed in this city in a shooting that has been blamed on the right sector radicals also rallies in eastern ukraine in lugansk and people of all ages on the streets expressing their solid

western powers the very embarrassed by this because russia today has been great on highlighting the neo nazi strong your nazi core the heart of this new government in the way the neo nazi helped to come to power and he's become a great embarrassment in this sort of propaganda war really so kiev is now face to you know they've come to power with the help of neo nazi thugs face to it is eliminating those neo nazi thugs now that they now know that their job is being done so to speak how do you see the e.u. in the wider world responding to this if it does turn out to transpire in the way we're that that you're suggesting or the e.u. in the west is responsible for a lot of this violence just because it is evil in the west which the violent who we're going to coach may knew full well that in order to topple ghana coach they would need the help of the right sector and their violence and so that you know believe you if you come out and say how shocked we are by this the assassination etc the e.u. are responsible for a lot of what's going on in ukraine and i'm a. because it could descend into civil w

russian media mentioned that ukraine is teaming with fascists and neo-nazis and these are the tactics they have always used. >> the russian media has raised it that it's in particular american coverage is putin being a warmongering dictator. over the last ten years it's been the usa that has been in iraq, afghanistan and in pakistan. this media could really take some time to -- it's how they cover the types of events often ignoring much of the government's actions. >> join us on consider this... >> president jimmy carter joins antonio mora >> my administartion has a very strong human rights element. >> his perspective on the conflicts facing the world in the state of america. on al jazeera america >> al jazeera america presents extraordinary documentaries. >> i've seen nothing like this before in my entire life. >> the amazon rainforest is going up in smoke. >> hundreds of kilometers square are disappearing in a day here. >> indigenous communities at risk. >> if their forest continues to disappear, then eventually these people will disappear. >> this british firefighter joins a group
