rescue personnel, and possibly to the future survivors who will be joining them. also we are preparing to mobilize all the resources possibly around the country to provide any more support if needed. >> do you have staff there? what are they saying about the - well, i guess about our mental health of the relatives. they do look fab, profoundly sorrowful, and also furious. there has been altercations, fights, between them and officials. >> currently we have over 500 volunteers and 95 staff members at the site, and also we have 40 psychosocial support instructors, and as you said, they are in a desperate situation. what we are doing is providing them with meals, so they will not need to stand out

the poll suggests those that want to breakaway from ukraine and join russia are in a minority. >> protesters control the local television station, where they set up a transmitting tower to broadcast russian programs. residents will have been able to hear the kremlin's spokesman justifying the build-up of troops along the eastern border. >> we have forces in the region of the border, some based there permanently, others to reinforce against a back drop of what is happening in the ukraine. actually, any country that is going take precautionary measures, will need to secure it. >> protesters in the east believe the interim government in kiev believe it's illegal. people in kiev describe the protesters as rebels and separatists. the only hopeful signs is an offer from the government to respect a truth until after easter.

>> well, staying in ukraine, there's a poll out suggesting that most ukrainians don't want to join russia, but feel the counter government is illegitimate. kiev's institute for international published findings. over half are against joining russia, a little over a quarter are in favour of rule by moscow. >> in the wider donetsk region, under two fifth support the kremlin's demands for a federalized ukraine. around the same amount want a decentralisation of power. in eastern ukraine, nearly three-quarters of the government leave the government led by arseniy yatsenyuk is illegal. . >> india is in the second week

approval. at the same time you see that the jewish worshippers allowed freedom of access. why can the christiums and muslims not get to their holy place, but the jewish can. it was as simple as that. on any given day thousands of jews, christians and muslims flock to the holy city. pilgrims from all over the region and world try to make it to jerusalem. it's because of this the police say they have to have restrictions for the safety of all pilgrims. >> the police don't discriminate between foreigners. we are talking here about numbers. the police agreed for the safety of people, local residents or foreigners. >> thousand of police officers have been deployed this easter weekend. some christians say more needs to be done. >> you cannot practice your
