trade deal with a customs union with russia on the same terms have to follow but they have the european union's fault that's one aspect another aspect is if they were to sign a deal with the european union what would be the effect on the economy it would mean adopting new again union regulations with very little influence over them what would be the effect of that effect would be to make the economy far more on the back to see if it would mean factories closing down it would mean unemployment you've been you it has changed history high levels of unemployment because of its economic policies particularly it's excessive regulation just look at the economic facts leave the motion to one side and on series clear that a deal between the ukraine and the european union is not in ukraine's interest. and of course we're keeping an eye on the situation in kiev plans chunk of call for obviates as well as the latest media's and photos and i've also got a d.c. how timeline of events there in case you missed anything. and new radical force in u.k. politics is a rolling up its sleeves and getting down

with the politics of the european union that the united states of american is but then on the other hand given that president obama has invariably been looking towards asia we probably shouldn't be surprised second of all i think is the pure practicality there is an incredibly powerful motive to be it's going on within europe at the moment particularly in the u.k. for instance over the issue of migrant labor within the e.u. on january the first next year there is a possibility that many bulgarians and romanians may start to move across to the west because they'll be allowed to to go and work i think that within the european union there would be a bridge an outcry indeed if suddenly the gates were to be opened because obviously millions of ukrainians want a better life and they want a better economy but to simply let them loose on the western european economy when it's already ravaged by inflation by unemployment by all sorts of problems is going to be a huge political no no well i mean let's talk about the politicians for a moment because we have seen him in kiev as well taking part

attention to events in ukraine. the european union needs you and you need the european union and if you needed you would be with your poland has always regarded ukraine as its backyard it has i would say neo imperialist designs on ukraine what some powers may be hoping for is a repeat of the events of two thousand and four when the country stood still for months in support of the western backed victory but things have changed over the years the orange revolution worked because people didn't know what it was about at the time. nine years later things are a bit more clear all the promises that were made then. have been repeatedly broken the crowds in key of are clearly disillusioned and a bitterly divided parliament has a tough task in building bridges a job made all the more difficult by western nations fueling what could become another revolution and the demise of a democratically elected government in kiev it in a close call r.t. . well meantime nato leaders have condemned what they called excessive use of force in kiev and russia's chief diplomats also commented on foreign leaders

agreement this deal is signed bond of car still crying to be on a long term member of the union. and therefore be a system. some political commentators though say the assistance by western politicians now is simply unacceptable. maija need for any ukrainian or russian or any other diplomats or former politicians or politicians will take part and then your demonstration against the e.u. will in all across other severely europe and that would cause an uproar the point probably even in the western countries going to the united nations and asking for a meeting of the security council because that is blatant into feeling so this isn't got nothing to do with people power as they claim some some politicians like to say about that under the rule of law does not involve foreign diplomats and foreign politicians interfering and basically provoking this violence like it's happening in ukraine. journalist martensite who followed ukraine's recent history believes the bid to divide among its people would only deepen if the e.u. association deal but i think it would be a nightmare come true in the

protesting against the government's decision not to sign a free trade agreement with the european union now it's more about the rage that the peaceful rally was dispersed brutally by the police on friday if i asked my cameraman now to zoom to the independence square which is right below where i'm standing right now you can see how many people there just a short while ago the protesters broke the police lines and over to the square the same square from where they were kicked off kicked out from on friday night at this square alone we can see maybe two two and two hundred fifty thousand people at the moment it is definitely a huge crowd will also know that some protesters are ticketing the building of the government the building of the presidential administration and pretty much the protests are happening everywhere across the city has been very peaceful so far we see no police presence no right police on the scene even at the at the government building my my my contact there told me that only the protesters no right police over there but this fragile peace maybe violated it at any moment

european union countries if crowds on the street are to determine that a government that may be unpopular in midterm should fall where does that stop if that crowd is stimulated with foreign support foreign cash i'm in my side i'm afraid so my misspent youth used to help take money and computers missiles equipment to dissidents in eastern europe so i know that perhaps the fairytale picture of just the people rising up rather overlooks about how the people are stimulated to rise up how there is a media campaign how there is a support basis that requires money for instance that comes i'm afraid from the european union countries and we made part and as you said you see this constant stream of e.u. official supporting the anti-government rallies but it makes you wonder why are they focusing their attention on you seem so many rallies recently spain italy greece the list goes on here all those countries currently struggling in the e.u. with so many problems of their own what they focusing on that instead why all play . well of course first of all because that would admit that a lot o

not to sign a free trade zone agreement with the european union now it's more about the rage of the people against the government the president believing that they were the ones who dispersed a peaceful protest on friday night when several hundred protesters were violently pushed from the central square by the police this is the main shift of the of the protest at the moment. the whole week they've been protesting against the government says not to sign the erode station deal despite that many economists and people in power are saying that this deal could have harmed ukraine economically still this was not something on the minds of the people and they were protesting against it the whole week but now essentially the protest is different and judging by the fact that the steel fences have been set up in the city it's really unlikely that the protests will die down any time soon alexey thank you very much indeed for that live update from kiev well with kiev now a battleground seems less discuss what is its stake with william and bell geo political analyst and author of full spectrum do

going to go ahead with the trade agreement with the european union now there are forty entitle to do that if people don't agree don't agree with that decision then the right way to deal with that is to campaign it in in an election which is only about fourteen months away for the government to be changed democratically called into the law and the constitution and for the new president whoever he is to then go ahead with this with this agreement what is what we're looking at now is on a completely different we're looking at a demand for the president and the prime minister and the government to be removed from power by people in the streets but it looks as if the president himself is being coerced now into perhaps making another decision on this issue he's already said he's going to talk to the head of the european commission do you think actually he is being pushed by the events there in kiev and being forced perhaps to make a u. turn. another one i think i still think that is on likely i would however say that mr hugh nuke of each has not perhaps acted particularly firmly in this ma

the european union to support your march most but i know that there are forces in ukraine who think different. as course there is also that what we should be keeping in mind is the fact that just really hard to say where exactly all of this is going to head at this point people are putting up tents and a central independence square even though they're actually banned from being there all together but you have the tents are up the barricades are also up at this point even seem to be rather peaceful but who knows what the day will bring all we have to do is just wait and see absolutely. from kiev irina thank you very much. and let's discuss the situation in ukraine with school ski the rector of the european center of jew political analysis mr welcome to our she is good to talk to you now so looks like ukraine is pretty much divided country now with the with the west traditionally more pro european more pro european integration with the the europe and these to historically more production do thing but opposition leaders are trying to to have some sort of a dialogue with the eastern. i

favoring the deal with the european union but while those with the same pro e.u. moods are shared by less than thirty percent in the east earlier i discussed this and other issues affecting the events in ukraine with political analyst dmitri babich. the majority of ukrainians want to retain good relations with russia and the problem is that no one has read almost no one has read in ukraine the so-called agreement with the u. because it is more than von thousand pages long and it is north accessible even on the internet dmitri there are some senior politicians that gave extra impetus to the protests by addressing the crowds in independence square i know it's very noisy where you are right now but let's have a quick listen to what they had to say. is this to tell you who are part of europe and we will sue poor really over the years they still have the european union needs you and you need the european union and if you needed you would be with you or are you. are to me three what so what's your take on this there are already some analysts that are saying that is direct interference in the co

politicians in kiev are more concerned about their own image than ukraine or the union's well being. m.e.p. as members of the european parliament are terrified that they're about to be outflanked by anti european forces in elections in four or five months time therefore they're doing anything to try and get a tinge of popularity and of course the way they do that in the socialist european superstate of the e.u. is trying to be seen around liberal demonstrators at all times because it kind of inflates their ok credentials of looking like hippy liberals the truth is they have no coherent concept of why or what they could do with ukraine and in fact the worst thing that could happen in many senses is that you korean knowledge signs this economic deal because if it did a live free movement of labor it would be chaos for europe as usual the european union a super state of humbug and hypocrisy well as the antigovernment protests in ukrainian capital grows so do the rallies in support of blocking the trade deal with the thousands of pro-government activists descended on the capital and tow

into any deal with the european union robert oulds the chair of the bruges group a u.k. independent old party think tank he says ukraine has to now look east to save its economy. the way forward is to look at the cold hard economic facts such as ask the question where does most of the ukraine's exports go to the answer he's the vast majority of ukrainian exports go towards washington the cia states therefore ukraine should we see that trade to your. customers you need everybody on the same you have to follow but they have the european union that's one aspect another aspect g.'s if they were to sign a deal with the european union what would be the effect on the economy it would mean adopting new opinion vacations with very little influence over them what would be the effect of that the effect would be to make the economy far more on the head to see if it would mean factories closing down it would mean unemployment you've been you it has change this week high levels of unemployment because of its economic policies particularly excessive regulation just look at the economic facts leave

just diverting attention away from its own failings. if the european union's leaders whether individually or collectively started to admitting to their shortcomings there'd be no end of problems wouldn't there i mean look at the european union massive run problem floyd and throughout the course of the entire union we've got things like fifty percent plus youth unemployment in several mediterranean countries they have a euro currency project which is a thing built on science by the sort of deluded technocrats who believe that they know the best thing for all people and therefore realistically the only thing the european union can try to do is keep me in storming anybody russia who cares because ultimately the european union started and has rendered wonderful supranational trade project is ultimately falling apart at the same because it has become itself a crumbling soviet style empire which in many cases replicates some of the more ridiculous facets of the old soviet union. if you're watching r.t. international early this week a global headlines were dominated by an historic n
