And. A partner and i dont care. I just want the list. Reporter a revealing look at being homeless through the eyes of an 8yearold. We begin with increasing violence in ukraine for the first time the demonstrations have led to deaths. Three protesters were killed while battling police at independent square and antigovernment leaders say if their demands are not met they will go on offensive and nadeine reports. The standoff in kiev turned deadly nighttime brought a fresh wave of violence. Wednesday saw riot Police Firing towards protesters. But still they were unable to hold their ground as reenforcements arrived on the protesters site and by the first deaths inviting. Translator i carried another guy and myself from the front line and he was shot directly in the heart and he died. Reporter the mans body was brought out of a makeshift hospital and driven away, some said it would only make them more determined. Translator even with the killing they wont stop the protests and more people will come in response. Translator im scared because of what happened but im more afraid of our future under this government which is criminal and lawless. Reporter on wednesday president Viktor Yanukovych talked about ending the cry sus but no conclusive outcome and four nights this part of kiev has been a battleground but its hard to say right now exactly how and when the violence will end. So far the fightings happened in one small area of the capitol. But the protesters are angry than ever and promising to stay put. And im with al jazeera kiev. Reporter and these are live pictures from kiev, as you can see the protesters still on the scene, its just after 3 00 a. M. In the ukraine capitol. The fires you see burning are tires and other material used by demonstrators to create barricades to try to block police. Now, we have a 22yearold activist, one of the leaders of the protest in kiev and i talked to her about the latest violence and her frustration with the president ian. Unfortunately our president ignores us all the time and doesnt want to listen to the will of people. A few days ago unfortunately we have seen that he has violated even our basic human rights and rights in this moment we understand that either we will go to jail just simply for standing in the independent square and expressing points of view or on twitter on facebook as i do and writing negative comments and writing points of view we do not support the president ian and the government and we go to jail for doing those simple things and we have understood that unfortunately we dont have the president in government any more. In this country and ukraine which used to be a Democratic State for more than 23 years unfortunately two days ago it has been turned into dictatorship and neither me or my friends or our families we dont want to live in the state. Reporter there is a new antiprotest legislation which makes protests criminal acts and you can be sentenced up to two years in prison, so how does that change the dynamic . Well, i would dare to say that it has completely changed the dynamic and the emotions of people and the mood itself because to be honest when we started the movement almost two months ago, no one, no one was thinking that, yanukovych will shoot people and treat us like terrorist as the Prime Minister told us today and it was a huge shock to follow the procedure and how it was voted in parliament and if they did not count votes and they voted for laws that have been changed in the country for just showing hands and raising their hands. So the very thing they have broken everything in the very place where laws are made, in the parliament. It made us think that, well, unfortunately we are nothing and no one in this country. Reporter what hopes do you have for the coming days and what do you want to see happen . Well, first of all, i would like to see this because for me the clashes between protesters and riot policemen on sunday, im not supporting violence. And im not saying that using force both from the riot policemen and protesters should be honest and aggressively. Im not supporting this, but as a part of the movement from the very beginning from the very first day talking to people and talking to the riot policemen or policemen because i was trying to have some contact to join people from sites and understand what is going on in my country with my people. And im not surprised that people be behave and started a fight and fighting now and today but unfortunately i expect there will be more violence in ukraine because right now people understand there is no way back for them and today opposition leaders from the scene have announced they are giving yanukovych 24 hours and in 24 hours he wont listen to people and fulfill demands, they will start a real gorilla war and unfortunately, unfortunately it seems to me that yanukovych and knowing profile and the way he is behaving and performing politics and unfortunately im preparing myself and my friends and my family for the worst. That those tanks that reportedly have been moving to kiev from another neighboring states around kiev that probably they may be used against protestors. And yanukovych is showing a worse and worse side of him and i know it sounds crazy but i wont be surprised if he will act more aggressive and there will be even more blood. I would not like this to happen in my native country and shocking me what is going on now in ukraine. But this is probably this is the price of the freedom and this is the price of living in the state you want to live. If you want to have Democratic State and not dictatorship with yanukovych we have to stand to the very end and we have to fight for our freedom and we have to protect our families and our basic human rights. Reporter and we were in kiev tonight. Now to switzerland where World Leaders wrapped up the first day of the syria peace talks and the first time in the civil war they faced each other and the atmosphere was anything but diplomatic and we have the latest from switzerland. The people want the tourists to stop. Reporter in a conference that is supposed to talk peace the two sides are yelling at each other. The man is a proSyrian Government journalist and a woman a member of the opposition. This maybe just one moment at a conference sidelines and the Conference Hall the diplomates are just as divided. The u. S. Wants to create a Transitional Government and remove president bashir alasaid. There is no way, no way possible in the imagination that the man who has led the brutal response to his own people could regain the legitimacy to government. Reporter in response the syrian foreign minister said assad had no intention of stepping down. Translator no one, mr. Kerry, in the world has the right to give legitimacy or to withdraw legitimacy from a president , a government, a constitution or a law or anything in syria but syrians. Reporter the opposition says those syrians are being brutalizeded and the government accused of torturing protesters and targeting population centers. The opposition in the u. S. Called the asaid regime and point to the moment when the syrian foreign minister over ran his time. I must finish my speech. I would have to give, no, no, no more time to the group. You live in new york, i live in syria. I have the right to give the syrian version here in this forum. Yes, of course. Reporter the u. S. Is desperate to convince syria to listen and stop the violence and kerry is trying to do that by isolating assad. Today people can more clearly understand how alone assad is in standing up for himself, not for, syria and the resolution to this crisis cannot be about one mans instance or one familys instance about clinging to power. [chanting] and assad supporters here with allies and russian and iran are not going anywhere and chanted loyalty to the government. As just a few blocks away the opposition held a demonstration with a mock funeral. The hope here is for the two sides to come closer together but so far there is far apart as ever. Nick with al jazeera, switzerland. Reporter we have the Senior Writer for al jazeera on line and she is with the digital team on the east coast and in baltimore and welcome. Thanks for having me, john. Reporter so how do you think these talks are being received by people on the ground in syria . I think syrians are over all rather pessimistic and lost faith of the international communitys ability to address the problems happening in syria and the region because historically or the past ten years it is pretty devastating track record so far and ultimately pessimistic and a tone that we heard that was set in opening remarks and obviously not the between of a regime that thinks its there to negotiate a transition. The backers of the Syrian Regime, the irans and russians have not indicated any intention of abandoning the regime or withdrawing the support and pessimistic because there are power brokers and players at the table who are not the ones they would have chosen for themselves to represent them and similarly their positions are not necessarily informed by the suffering and the Syrian People have to bear as a result of everyone, you know, fighting it out on syrian territory. Talk about the suffering and what you understand is going on on the ground. I mean, its very much depends on where you are. There are people in damascus who with can maintain some level of normalcy relative to what is going on in other parts that are devastated. But yet not under regime control. There are other parts that are being starved literally by regime blockades. Reporter you know, when i listen to the Syrian Government talk today about only the Syrian People will determine who is going to be the leader of syria but yet john kerry says president assad cannot remain, if they cannot get over that hurdle then what can they do, is it over . Well, i mean, we have to keep in mind the Syrian People have basically been absent in any of these discussions. I think the best possible outcome that we could hope for, you know, everybody sort of, a lot of folks want to see this as a transition period but i dont think we are there yet. I think in a most optimistic incarnation would be that somehow there is a cease fire and by cease fire the violence perpetrated and the big part coming from the regime and there is a way that the regime signs on to ceasing some of that violence and allowing aid to reach those areas where people are literally starving. Reporter so president assads big ally, the iranians, at first the u. N. Gave them an in into invitation but maybe there is another open door for iran to come back in the peace talks. What do they add to this equation . Well, they are able to sort of walk the walk. They are one of the principal backers of the Syrian Regime and on the ground with their own forces from the revolution and the backers of hesbolah and talking the talk but if its viable the iranians should be part of the discussion because they have the ability, of all the people at the table in switzerland and basically two countries with the most leverage is iran and russian and one of the principal one has been excluded so far. Reporter and its good to see you and thanks for joining us. West Virginia Environmental Protection Agency said it learned yesterday about a second chemical that leaked in to the Charleston Elk river and the spill occurred two weeks ago and likely the substance was filt filtered out and poses no harm but for people the issue is truth and Jonathan Martin reports. Reporter Health Officials in West Virginia say despite news of the new chemical they do not believe there is a new health risk and testing samples to find out how much if any the chemical is detectable in the water and governor and officials in the state say they feel comfortable saying the water here in West Virginia is safe to drink. They found out on facebook over night that a second chemical, pph, leaked from a storage tank along the elk river, part of the same spill two weeks ago that tainted the water supply for some 300,000 West Virginia residents. When i saw that there is this new chemical one of many im sure, nothing at this point can surprise me. And i will never use the tap water here again, ever. Reporter state officials apparently didnt know either, they say they found out about the pph when they received a document tuesday afternoon from Freedom Industries. About 300 gallons of pph were in the tank, about 5 of the total mixture which was mostly mc mm crude, a chemical used to clean coal and this surprised Randy Huffman the is secretary of the department of Environmental Protection. According to the folks from freedom who revealed this to us yesterday they thought they had stopped mixing the material and recently discovered it was in the tank with the mc hm. Reporter state chemical experts say the Water Treatment process likely filtered out the chemical but residents are not convinced they get the truth from the company or the state. The Government Team has not withheld any information. We have not manipulated any information. We are making as much of it available as soon as we possibly can. Reporter now, serious questions for Freedom Industries, when they knew about the second chemical and why it took so long to notify the state. This certainly causes a credibility to take a huge hit absolutely. They are fully responsible, Freedom Industries because it was their site and watch and their tanks. Reporter Al Jazeera America repeatedly reached out to Freedom Industries to ask them about the spill and bankruptcy filing and lawsuits against them, the company says its not going to comment. Reporter Jonathan Martin reporting and late this afternoon the Utility CompanyWest Virginia confirmed that the tests do not have new concerns with the release of pph. In texas fire and rescue crews working to put out a huge condo fire in a dallas neighborhood. This is live video of the entire condo complex burning. There are though known injuries at this time in dallas and no word yet on the cause. The execution of a Mexican National scheduled to die by lethal injection in huntsville, texas has been delayed and waiting for a decision by the Supreme Court on a possible stay. Now, he had been convicted of killing a Houston Police officer 20 years ago. The Mexican Government wants to stop the execution. Arguing the texas violated International Law by providing to provide proper legal representation and we have more on the story from texas. Hi, john, the execution was scheduled to happen more than an hour ago but right now as you mentioned the u. S. Supreme court is still considering a lastminute stay filed by the attorneys of edgar and argument is their client is mentally retarded and should not be executed and that moving forward with the execution would be a violation of International Law that could endanger u. S. Citizens abroad. Edgar was 24 years old when he shot a Houston Police over three times in the back of the head and 20 years later the Mexican Government warns his execution would violate International Law. We will take every step necessary in order to preserve the life of him. Reporter at the heart of mexicos claim is relations and an International Treaty that says a person arrested in a foreign country has a right to contact their consulate for help. Mexico says that didnt happen for him nor 50 other Mexican Nationals sentenced to die in the United States, two other Mexican Nationals have already been executed in texas. In his hometown protesters march the streets in hopes of convincing officials in texas to spare his life. This woman was his teacher in primary school. She says i believe it is unfair because he has been in prison more than 20 years and people who knew him here say he only turned violent after a bull stepped on his head when he was 17. His Attorney Says that never came up in trial or in his clemency appeal. But if the consulate had been notified of the convention as set forth, the consulate would have made sure that the legal representation of him was a professional one. Reporter in september u. S. Secretary of state john kerry asked texas to delay his execution saying his case directly impacts u. S. Foreign relations as well as our countrys ability to provital counselor assistance to u. S. Citizens overseas. The setting of an execution date for him would be extremely detrimental to the interests of the United States. A spokesperson for the Governors Office says texas is complying with state law, telling al jazeera it doesnt matter where youre from if you commit a despicable crime like in texas you are subject to our state laws including a fair trial by jury and the ultimate penalty. The states position is in keeping with the 2008 u. S. Supreme court ruling that said congress is the on entity that has the power to compel states to abide by the Convention Treaty and th
