reporting from kiev in ukraine. and there will be bring you more on the latest developments there in ukraine and president yannick overages bombshell decision to change the constitution to turn ukraine into a parliamentary presidential republic he also offered one of the opposition leaders arseniy yatsenyuk the job of prime minister one another main opposition figure the boxer turned politician vitaly klitschko may become deputy prime minister in a covert has also promised an amnesty to all those taking part in the protests on the condition if they leave occupied governmental buildings when after several rounds of talks the leadership and the opposition have finally agreed to clear the streets of kiev protesters camped out in the center of the capital and police are supposed to leave now there's still no reaction from those in kiev those in the streets to these latest announcements you can see live pictures now from one of the main streets of street right now and that's where much of the violence over the past few d

in your state it is what it is everybody living in ukraine today was born in a country called ukraine and the way to resolve the crisis that they face is to have elections to create legitimate people having to wait for the money they keep having i'll surely slow them her into over and over again elect ok i mean you know this is a very social issues but it's a problem that's adjusted to solve our problems it doesn't solve problems it does solve problems because the striking fact the striking thing about the current set of protests is that it's not limited to the west you see them going on into the proper throats in persia and other cities as well in the north in kharkiv and elsewhere so it's simply not the case that this is the west rising up against the russian domination in the us it's people who are fed up with what they perceive to be a corrupt regime who's doing live very little to improve their living standards and people are taking the opportunity perhaps from the fact that the protests started with a different goal which was over the european union association but are using tha

or ukraine or start to construct anything the ukraine they should clearly separate themselves from these kind of people because these people are not european they are not ukrainian they're in fact unacceptable in any society and it's a shame that the us shutting its eyes on that and that the huge i would say the majority of european press pretends not to notice it john the press pretends not to notice it again these are i mean diem is a very good historian i know him very very well and he knows his history well here and i see these posters also i hear these chants and it sends you know i get my hair stands up in the back of my head is that i can't believe in two thousand and fourteen someone is marching in the streets of ukraine saying these things with torture swear to a lie to torture just like fascists did in one thousand so if you know and i mean. we had a big demonstration in paris on sunday and the interior minister condemned the demonstrators as right wing and extreme right wing and yet the idea that any of them would for example hold up a portrait of marshal peten is completely i

, a democratic ukraine.the name far right there goes ukrainian nationalism, which has its main thrust is building of a truly independent ukraine. a ukraine which would be a national democratic state and not a colony of russia come as ukrainian nationalists think. the move toward europe is a move toward democracy and away from the authoritarianism of russia and [indiscernible] severaluld unite authoritarian states. ukrainians do not want this. they want to be away from authoritarianism and they struggle for democracy now in ukraine. basically, ukraine is a frontline of democratic europe. the ukrainians are not only fighting for their own freedom, but they are fighting to stop authoritarianism to spread westward. >> stephen cohen, what is your take on what is happening in ukraine right now? >> well, it is not what anton shekhovtsov said. where to begin. can we begin at the beginning? ukraine,appening in what has been unfolding since november in the streets is probably the single most important international st

else of ukraine we should. defend. legally t. of democracy and not backing this movement some of them are very provocative. imagine but some opposition leader declared but they would create a war against russia over i've said but this should become a kind of two year in order to create a situation of very strong tension between the different parts of the country so just defend the legality varies a president we have to do to push. back. we're told between the opposition and the president but as i told you present has been elected again brian thanks for your thoughts mr merrick shiprock foreign affairs adviser to the leader of the national front. thank you opposition leader metallic klitschko was booed as he publicly announced the results of talks with the government the boxer turned politician hasn't exactly been getting universal support from the protesters earlier this week he was sprayed by a fire extinguisher while trying to calm the rioting the opposition appears deeply fractured with many protesters being firmly against any

and from the ukraine, the executive director of the national minorities of the ukraine. ambassador, let me start with you. you heard our reporter in the square mention that over time, the demonstrators have upped their demands, and they have seen the possibility for getting a greater prize. did yanukovych miss an opportunity. and does he continue to miss them? >> i'm not sure that the protesters have upped their demands. in the very first days of late november, people in the square were calling for the president yanukovych to step down, and they are doing it again now. i'm not sure that those demands are realistic. i think that there are many steps that mr. yanukovych has to take to try to quell the arrests. but it's unlikely that he will step down there power. what we have seen over the past two months is a regularly handheld effort by mr. yanukovych to per wad persue protests from coming off the square without giving them anything, and that's why they have not gone away. he thought that they would be pleased. and they're interested in a government that's not corrupt. i

and let's not get more on the situation in ukraine from. his a senior international relations lecturer and research from the moscow state university mr knox about us thank you very much for joining us here at the very nice to thank you for having me on wonderful ok the u.s. we know that the u.s. is revoking its phases over what they call violence towards protesters but what kind of violence how is saying that so what we're seeing that is that the riot police moving in and out and trying to take upon the barricades that. is not and that ok well what we're hearing from the united states and from the european union is of course the most cynical hypocrisy after the last few years of the brutal police repression of the occupy wall street movement in the united states and the anti neoliberal austerity diktats that have been instituted around the european union which brought literally tens of millions of protesters out onto the street. them calling against violence in the ukraine where the majority of the injuries for the past few days have been f

it was led by people who basically wanted ukraine to turn towards the e.u. now we're seeing a completely different picture radicals destroying the capital and calling for revolution how did it come to that. you're absolutely right and let me tell you that it is an extremely difficult for me to comment on that because i am not only a russian citizen but made to be ukrainian and believe me for me what happened in the last three days. surprise i could have never imagined that such things can ever happen in ukraine which proves that it's all or it's compression. compromise so deal this week they was a belief and i share the belief that your great improve just north that violent the very phrase that character what we've seen these days is. this is really suffering we would have very very to do this really is a subject of very big concern for all of us yeah of course and sergei of course we all sharing your believes a nonviolent. come out of this situation but for some time actually ukraine's authorities have been accused of corruption but don't you think that peo

we naturally as also discuss ukraine. we express deep concern about escalation of violence casualties and reports of missing persons and violence against protesters and journalists. use of force is not the answer to the political situation guilfoyle it is need to engage in the sears eye level dialogue to position civil society and to repeal the laws approved by the rather restricting civic freedoms. i called present junk of which last week to pass these clear messages commission a fuller has traveled twice to the country in the last five days and how representative cathy ashton he's travelling to care for today. i think it is both in your opinion and russian interest to contribute to the stipulation of the situation based on the rule of law and respect of human rights no one stands to gain from absence of law order and freedom in this context i want to take note of today's decision by the father to repeal the sixteen of general laws restricting fundamental freedoms he's confirmed this together with your doctrine of amnest

well i think that can be exactly what has been characterized as happening in the ukraine in kiev for the last week i have family in laws in kiev and they're afraid to leave their houses right now because of what is happening it should be said that this is limited to the downtown section of the city and what we have are several thousand ultra nationalist. rioters because we can call them raw it's hers we can call them terrorists we can call them insurgents at this point but one thing is sure is not this has nothing to do with democratic protest these people are attacking police with chain weapons mala top of cocktails. bombs pyrotechnics there have been stabbings of police they have been building trebuchets and using both scenarios and morningstar as we see an absolute medievalism level of violence coming from these people. several thousand people that are being cheered on and facilitated by the slightly larger crowds on the my done. are. right now engaged on the street which is right up the street from them i don and there is no question anymore that this is a democratic protest even

ukraine or at least the country's capital kiev has descended into chaos protests have turned extremely violent and the social order is on the verge of collapse to what degree do protesters in kiev represent the ukrainian people what do these protesters believe in and what do they really want is ukraine on the path to nowhere. i would rather as questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question more. hello and welcome to crossfire all things are considered i'm peter lavelle ukraine or at least the country's capital care has descended into chaos protests have turned extremely violent and the social order is on the verge of collapse to what degree do protesters in kiev represent the ukrainian people what do these protesters believe in and what do they really want also there are accusations of outside meddling is ukraine on the path to nowhere. to cross talk of ants in ukraine i'm joined by my guest alexander maturity and london he is a legal writer and an analyst in moscow we have

as you said ukraine has introduced changes into our agenda ukraine has not introduced it changes into the agenda and indeed we have a lot of attention to the issue of the eastern partnership in general and in this regard in this context we also talked about ukraine as one of the countries that is in gauged in the negotiations of this project. the first part of the hearing secondly we always look at the problems that we face so. if you doubt our unfortunately. we have been outstanding for a while and these are very important problems usually today we have been saying that the european union is a applying and to dumping measures in the chemical industry etc based on. their assumption that we have unfair gas policies we feel this is unfair this is exclusive demand from our european partners but these issues are technical we have a longstanding issue with a third energy package but again our turnover of trade is growing almost ten percent ago last year and this will be a record breaking level we corporation high tech in aviation in space we have specific important projects in this area we

different political crisis in ukraine have been towering above the e.u. russia summit in brussels the event was scaled back by the blog from two days to just a few hours over the raul let's now talk to our correspondent we talked to our correspondent who's been following the meeting this is what she had to say. this russia e.u. summit has been consistently billed in the past as a platform for furthering the street strategic cooperation between russia and the e.u. went to great extent it was in terms of the topics that they did touch upon however we know that coming into this summit there was this huge issue out of ukraine that was hanging over the meeting and the relations were strained after the decision of . which not to go ahead to sign that agreement with the e.u. in favor of closer ties with russia so that was one of the sticking points of this is skosh and what came out of it basically all of the representatives. of the european commission report of the european council all condemning the violence also but also saying that violence is not the answer

control all the situation invest in regions in ukraine. the week these days the any sort of splits in the area we could happen within the next two weeks must be described as quite possible because government wouldn't have enough forces so you will be split it probably in two parts. we've got two different times on thursday the opposition declared a truce with the government for seventy two hours but with rioters in kiev again burning tires and hurling burning projectiles that the police hardly anyone in ukraine feels that the crowds are listening to anyone right now alexey version of ski r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine meanwhile president has agreed to several concessions reshuffling his cabinet and pledging to review recent laws that introduced harsher punishments for rioters however opposition leaders have called for citizens across ukraine to form militias and take control into their own hands party's policy or travel to the east of the capital to see if those calls are being heard there. here in eastern ukraine there's a lot of sup

we are working with our partners the government of ukraine. drift the concerns. that i literally just. the efforts. working with president. to try to achieve you know move in this direction in the next days we will stand with the people of ukraine. so there you heard john kerry saying the u.s. will stand with the people of ukraine similar in fact more strongly worded a reaction here in washington on capitol hill we saw a joint statement from a bipartisan group of senators led by john mccain also pinning the blame directly on the government of ukraine now in that statement they had expressed what they called regret that some protesters have resorted to violent measures but said that and i quote the responsibility for the growing political crisis lies squarely with the governments quote heavy handed tactics and undemocratic actions that was the joint statement from lawmakers here now the white house this week again threatened sanctions it does seem that washington is hoping not to actually resort to taking that step quite yet really waiting to see what steps the go

wasn't in a position to ask the president of ukraine to step down but he did say washington wants ukraine to repeal harsh new anti protest laws that have sparked the latest clashes now while sanctions are being considered by the white house no decision on that just yet the u.s. of course has revoked the visas of several ukrainian officials who were allegedly linked to violence in kiev earlier violence not the latest round now president obama himself staying silent on the recent developments however the u.s. isn't alone in pointing the finger of blame on the ukrainian government when it comes to the recent violence the finnish foreign minister said in an entry on his blog that the government bears responsibility if it continues to what he called deny the basic rights of its citizens despite the provocations of some protesters in the crowd this is on a blog post that he issued we also heard from the e.u. budget commissioner who said that while sanctions weren't being discussed the body will go beyond simply condemning the violence one possible option going after the bank accounts of certain

they're the ones who are thinking that ukraine should be with europe they're saying that ukraine is you are it's european country and it should take it isn't so you take a step away from russia that's what a kind of started with now it's mostly against the government but you also have to understand the fact that this is the western ukraine that has that opinion people in the east are a lot more russia friendly they do not want to get away from russia they do not want to step away from russia they're much more closer to moscow then they are say to warsaw also i think it's important to underline the fact that just when i was in kiev all you had to do was walk about a kilometer away from the my down from the state from the independence square and you would be in a normal city where people go shopping people go to their gyms people go have a great time go to school go. work there were only upset over the over the protests because you have to be seven it's the major leagues he had his main thoroughfare that was blocked by the protests and still is by the way so you cannot imagine the tra

reporting from kiev in ukraine now the new laws of cause such public anger in ukraine introduced harsher punishments for protest but let's compare it to similar rules in europe and across the atlantic if you're found guilty of stirring a riot in britain you could find yourself in jail for up to ten years and nine years if you hurled petrol bombs but in ukraine get just two years values in france from defacing statues to damaging streets as punishable by seven years behind bars but in ukraine it will get you locked up for just three years attempting or even encouraging the overthrow of the united states government can see you thrown into a cell for up to twenty years and that's twice as much as in ukraine finally don't put a mask on your face at a rally in canada because that could land you up to ten years detention and that's against just fifteen days in ukraine british security analyst and former ride police officer charles shear bridge told me the scale of dissent being seen in ukraine would never be permitted in the u k. which is need to look at the way that the purchased place a part

of course we're worried about jews in ukraine at the moment because if there is anti-semitic violence there will be no mercy for anyone neither women nor children. with nazi off fascist images clearly on display the concern is that even the nationalist leaders are no longer in control of their supporters and the evidence of support for ukrainian wartime leaders who lead death squads against the jews is apparent on the streets of kiev right beside the stage of kids independence square the heart of the protest there is a big banner with step on going down on it the 1940's insurgent leader in ukraine but despite there's lots of controversy surrounding his role in history in many countries this would hardly surprise anyone in today's here but that the other scene of the protests beside what seems to be future molotov cocktails we see a peculiar graffiti on the wall an old eric room which is unlikely to have any double meanings in european countries because back in the one hundred forty s. it was used by some of the nazi divisions. now that ultra wing activists have become the core of the

association agreement with ukraine did contain a security component that required ukraine to cooperate with nato forces there is reason enough to be concerned about nato troops facing russian troops just across the border so it's an issue of enormous importance it's a geo strategic issue for the united states and it's becoming a very serious issue it's it'll be interesting to see what comes of kerry's meeting with the foreign minister lavrov which is supposed to take place i believe in the next few hours daniel thanks for talking to us great to hear your thoughts on this down in mcadam's executive director of the ron paul institute there in washington thank you well with riots now spreading wide across ukraine's west it seems unlikely for the talks will bring any solutions paullus live reports from one of the hot beds of the unrest. this is the regional administration building event at sun card skin western ukraine where at the till a week ago the regional governor had his office but as you can see just liking kiev's there is now a giant barricade surrounding the building with snow tir

reporting from kiev in ukraine. well earlier i spoke to professor bruno address he's from the paris based national institute of civilisations he is skeptical about the deal between the opposition and the government and thinks it will come up against resistance from the more radical elements in the protest movement. more radical elements were used to make detention more and more acute and no. there is a compromise on that and a higher level of bugs you know you can do the same time i doubt that the extremist movement. agreed to go back home and dogs problems that would happen in kiev and the only western. only because their own so their bases are there so. i've got to really see but i don't want to get to meet you know to bring back stuff. well here we have a map of central kiev and the heart of the protest movement is now over on independence square known as my dad and where the opposition has been camped out now the fiercest clashes broke out earlier this week on a nearby street this very long street here now most

ukraine's prime minister resigned saying it's a sacrifice to stop the violent unrest but the opposition continues to call for mass protests until the president steps down to. the union is working on the question will be. brussels downgrades a summit with russia because of differences over the crisis in ukraine which is casting and long shadow over the talks. in just ten days the games begin in softies olympic park but as the host city prepares to get down to business there are still allegations in the media to deal with. those who do say that it was created to give the graves in the international media what do you know . one senior member of the international olympic committee says his remarks on corruption and saw were taken out of context and used by the media to create headlines. you're watching are to international live from our moscow studios i'm lindsey france thanks for joining me ukraine's prime minister has resigned and what he says is part of an attempt to find a peaceful solution to the country's political deadlock the parliament is now reviewing several other concessions mad

donetsk ukraine. well the rioting that's been engulfing care of has seen many western politicians wash their support with the u.s. also imposing sanctions against ukraine's politicians ukrainian affairs analyst. says that's exactly what the protesters have been aiming for. they're trying to force the issue this is this is your typical extortion tactic the whole point is to force the government to react the whole point is to force another police forces to confront the protesters and then scream bloody murder oh my god they're killing us they're oppressing us please help look what's happening help us foreign intervention and so on and so forth it is a very basic tactic from the rebellion playbook being implemented throughout the world in georgia and elsewhere in the ukraine in two thousand and four of all things so i think the protesters are trying to make a point that verda ones that decide what gets done and who initiates the violence as evidenced by mr klitschko statement that we will hold him to liv

surely the crisis in ukraine is up for debate. across town with peter will now stay with us mm i i i i i. i am recently facebook was ablaze with lights and chairs about the twenty fourteen no pants subway ride. this is the yearly event that is grown in popularity and spread with pianist native york to cities across the globe according to fox news is that you thousands of people ride the subway in their underwear as if it were normal day which organizers say is the prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in places. i guess this is kind of funny i mean hey i like whacking us think about the effort of propaganda takes to thousands of people the world over to simultaneously do something and with all that effort in all those thousands of participants all you do is walk around thatcher pants on this idea most of the korea by some people in a pre deck and lifestyle because the community to stop organizing people for the goal of spreading joy a lot of us can't afford puttin on the table in the future could you guys please try

the split over ukraine sees brussels scaling back and the e.u. russia summit to a meeting of just a few hours as some political analysts say europe should grow up. a limpid park is about to throw open its doors for the games and flow of allegations from the world's media continue to flood the host city. so you did this way you create to give big waves to the national media for what do you know is a senior member of the international olympic committee claims the media used his remarks on corruption and soft you out of context to cause a sensation. ukraine's president has now accepted the resignation of the country's prime minister and the entire cabinet they will remain in their posts until a new government is formed that says the country's lawmakers voted in an emergency session to repeal most of the and to protest laws that triggered two weeks of violence in kiev party's election in the ukrainian capital for us. undoubtedly this is the biggest political day in the history of modern ukraine with the parliament voting on very crucial steps and i w
