don't know why nato is making such statements i don't know why nato secretary-general anders fogh rasmussen answers questions concerning the possibility of russia sending troops to ukraine is there was i don't know why such questions are being asked you what was the i believe it creates a distorted picture and such signals could pick the wrong picture of events in some minds we consider the events in ukraine an internal. well the head of the council of europe is in ukraine to meet the government and opposition leaders are to use it in a looks now at who's been weighing in on the crisis in ukraine we stand with the vast majority of the ukrainians who want to see this future for their country well kiva is paralyzed by protests politicians are commenting quite publicly on the twitter sphere president young a call which is miscalculating badly as regards the association agreement with the e.u. and towards the people of ukraine. ukrainian leaders are not ready to go further and signed the agreement with the e.u. people of ukraine should be disappointed and the us and european countries stand acc

the current secretary general of nato anders fogh rasmussen has just taken to twitter to give his condolences to the people of russia on this tragedy. being a particularly sad irony because of course many of the chechen rebels have been harbored through e.u. political asylum in european nations and in nato countries themselves including france and poland and britain where of course one of the former chechen rebel leaders akhmed zakayev has been residing for a number of years now of course the islamic radicals are the ones that tend to carry out these attacks but the ones that are directing funding fostering and training them tend to be elsewhere located elsewhere and of course we have for example the testimony of former f.b.i. whistle blower sabella edmonds talking about operation gladio b r earlier this year she was talking about how this this operation was a nato fund is an ongoing nato funded operation in cooperation with the pentagon to stir up islamic radical terrorism specifically in the north caucasus region and the surrounding area as a type of threat directed at russia and of course

now yesterday mr rasmussen decided to play hardball he said that if karzai doesn't sign the deal with the americans all nato forces could be withdrawn from of ganesan after thirteen years of war and that eight billion dollars in annual aid that afghans have so badly needs will that could be in jeopardy too but if this is a game of carrots and sticks approach we saw both the nato and the united states somewhat soften their stance today the u.s. secretary of state john kerry came out with a new proposal this morning saying all right if karzai doesn't want to sign the deal let's come up with a plan to help him save face we can get the defense minister to sign it anyone as soon as it gets signed quickly and soon now we also saw both nato and the white house refuse now to hold karzai to a deadline this is a major about face for the white house which had a earlier insisted that karzai is signed the deal before the end of the year now they're saying they simply wanted done just as quickly as possible for cars i mean while he knows that he needs this money he knows that afghanistan does need

not understand what they don't make these statements i cannot understand what secretary general rasmussen answers the question of whether or not russia is able to put its forces in ukraine is due to its total value who listens protests continued to roll ukraine over the president's decision to pull away from a landmark trade deal with the european union. what to make sense of the holy ukraine russia eu triangle. i enjoy each day on a distinguished analyst thomas while he is senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations and he joins me today from brussels. thank you very much for being on the interview we've seen some recent progress in east west relations on syria and carry on syrian chemical weapons on the uranium nuclear issue gee think it is a risk now of this relationship being poisoned by a what's happening in ukraine. what that will precede the relation between russia and the west will drop him off to play either an issue between russia and europe as is its conduct a series of overlapping bet on it. ah yes the husband corporation up over time off so time of tensi

my solidarity to the government and people of russia meanwhile nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen said there can be no justification for such barbarous attacks nato and russia stand together in the fight against terrorism including by working together on technology to prevent attacks on public transport systems the un secretary general also called for those responsible for the tragedy in volgograd to be brought to justice and terrorism also unanimously condemned by the u.n. security council and the war activist don de bar thinks that it's up to the international community to join forces against global terrorism people on the ground who did this perhaps may be you know anonymous players just individuals who are incited one way or another but you do not move weaponized explosives into a major city without the aid of very powerful forces state actors usually and so i think that the focus should be for the entire international community to take a look already at who are the state actors that are enabling these things and to make them the international pariah is that they should be and

my solidarity to the government and people of russia meanwhile nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen they can be no just if occasion for such attacks nato and russia stand together in the fight against terrorism including by working together on technology to prevent attacks on public transport systems and here's what the president of israel had to say my heart is with the victims of the latest horrific acts and also the previous ones that were as painful for russia terrorism is the cause of so many meaningless suffering and pain all around the world and i'm sure the international community here will keep up the combined struggle against it let's now go live to purt who is a researcher in russian affairs for the british east of west center mr peres welcome to ask a very nice to talk to right now us we know that you've served in the u.k. army is so what can you tell us about the modern counterterrorism measures. outdated on. one thing we need to know really is the big question is why are we failing. counterterrorism now we've got lots of we keep hearing remember. you're doing really we

my solidarity of the government and people of russia meanwhile nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen said there can be no justification for such barbarous attacks nato and russia stand together in the fight against terrorism including by working together on technology to prevent attacks on public transport systems journalist and broadcaster neil clark says the international community has got to switch from words to action when it comes to the threat of global terror. western approach to terrorism has been very consistent because we're told on the one hand the west implacably opposed to radical islamic terrorism and that it's the biggest it's a school and humanity etc and yet on the other hand we have the west lining up we buy the guns i mean terrorists in syria. you know back on the same side as al qaeda is trying to trap or eight cents you know government now the west has got to i think change its relationship with saudi arabia which is a major sponsor of a lot of these radical islamic groups around western to rely on its foreign policy the trouble is if you look at syria for exampl

because there is that you i don't know why nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen answers questions concerning the possibility of russia sending troops to ukraine i don't know why such questions are being asked us i believe it creates a distorted picture and such signals could pick the wrong picture of events in some minds we consider the events in ukraine an internal matter. meanwhile the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity says kiev has been seeing a pattern of provocation throughout the two weeks of public dissent the u.s. and the e.u. talk a lot about european values and western values but is it a western value to allow a foreign country to come in and influence politics on the streets of course it's not you see a pattern here of of escalation in provocation i think really the protesters on the ground they had a very large public provocation a few nights ago they were using chains and tractors the question now i think is will the protesters ratchet up looking for a government overreaction so that they can get some new energy into their protests
