have the -- in luhansk. have the air strikes been successful in pushing back the fighters? >> well i'm outside the luhansk hospital where some separatist fighters have been treated. a police officer shot outside the airport yesterday, he's in a critical condition. it's quite, but there's a reason. separatist fighters didn't want to stay. they are afraid of reprisals. doctors are jumpy. they put a red cross on the roof. fearing that hospitals may be targeted. the medical supplies are coming from russia. as far as pushing back the separatist fighters, i don't think really they've had much success. the separate its are in control of the city, taking two border guard bases. they have control of the military warehouse and the city

administration building. as you mentioned the ukrainian troops are closing in on luhansk. you say that they are closing in. >> n.a.t.o. released satellite images, and they back up a claim that russian tanks crossed into ukraine. if russia is actually aiding the rebels, how do you think the international community will respond? >> i think ukranian authorities, for one, very much believe that this bolsters the case. we are seeing diplomatic fall out. we are seeing secretary of state john kerry calling his russian counter-sergpart sergay lavrov they'll decrease the cost should it not acknowledge images, say

n.a.t.o., say the images raise questions about russia's role in facilitating stability here. the question is is this proof or evidence enough to warrant further sanctions for the international community. we know a third round of sanctions are being considered. will this be enough. we'll see that play out. i want to stay on the ukranian officials. activists vented their anger by attacking them in kiev. at this point, what measures is kiev taking to prevent an embassy attack from happening yet again. well, ukraine's foreign minister went down to the russian embassy to placate the protest. that was unsuccessful. we have seen russia and the u.s. warn ukraine of obligations to provide security. i think there's fear there may be another maydan protest.

deployed to keep the voters safe and managed to deflect the violence. >> translation: in order to have democracy we have to make sacrifices. there's violence, but people need to know their vote matters. we choose a president that matters to solve or problems. international observers say voter turn out was lower than expected. more than 7 million ballots were cast. more than in a record of blacking first round, raising concerns about wide-spread fraud. >> over 200 complaints have been registered with election officials, and more are expected. if the allegations of electoral fraud are as widespread as some believe, it could plunge afghanistan into a crisis.

that is taken over parts of iraq. what is at stake is what is the future of the middle east, what will it look like and what is the involvement going forward. from a military perspective - we are looking at a stalemate. whether forces come from the united states, whether there are many different options that happen here. now, you have suffering people. that's another issue. whoever will support the people, the maliki government or i.s.i.l. that will determine what happens. o in terms of supporting the people, the president said "we have a range of options. what does that include. especially when john mccain and others say air strikes is a possibility. >> the thing is military power is limited. we could be the air force for

prime minister maliki, but that would take a campaign and more intelligence. it's a tremendous amount of work. i'm not sure there'll be time. the group is moving quickly. they'll adjust and move the organization. the worst thing that could happen for the united states is to show pictures of u.s. bombing missions with civilians killed. we have to be careful to assume that american airpowers will solve the prb. speaking of america, do you think the i.s.i.l. poses a direct threat to the united states. yoth it's existential. if you look over the horizon, if this organization allows terrorist organizations, similar to the video in the '90s, pre-9/11 that the taliban sets up. it becomes a threat.

from here, it's not something known to happen today for tomorrow. we have to watch out, be careful, put a cordon around it. >> i want to go back to the tack it canal options. are drones an option. >> they were an option for intelligence, which is the prumry way. we can use the unmanned drones that are armed and do support missions. again, in this particular situation it will be important about eyes on the ground to make sure we are firing up the civilian convoy. it's one of the reasons we need to be involved. those drones that use the weapons systems, a run by people in united states, until we are sure that we are hitting military targets. you mentioned putting eyes on the ground. a defence department official estimates that $15 billion have

will bring peace. columbians want peace, at zero cost. that means f.a.r.c. members have to surrender. negotiations and participation in politics - without those. the world's oldest conflict left generations marked by suffering. victims like this are on opposite sides of the debate. they, like millions of column um bians want an end to the war. chinese warships joined 22 other countries to run through military drills in the west pacific. it's overseen by the united states. the ships practised hitting targets with live ammunitions and they hope to improve the fighting spirit of their shoulders. this is the first time china participated in a major u.s.-hosted drill. vietnam is calling on the

cantor's fall from crays. one stands out more than anything. do you think his speaker ambitious blinded him to everything else around him? >> it's look in this case, like tip o'neil said all politics are local. and looked like eric cantor was running for speaker and forgot he was running for congress. the important thing an elected official can do is pay attention to the base. he was not doing that. the morning of the election eric cantor was in washington d.c., meeting with people in washington d.c. his aides were telling him egg was fine. he was not paying attention to his base, and they, in that district is the tea party. john carlo, do you think hoe was not -- he was not paying

attention to his base. >> i agree with ta, but disagree with the professor saying eric cantor's base was the tea party. 70% of the constituent supported the immigration spill. a notion that there was a great tea party wave, that was part of the calculation, but not the whole story. can't didn't do his job or practice good local politics. he embodied the establish. we here that congress's approval ratings are in the low single digits, and no one encompasses this more than the leadership. speaking of legal politics, let's talk about dave brat. he has been keeping a low profl. during a phone interview he refused to discuss foreign policy issues.

in f you were advising him, what would you advise him, can he afford not to talk about the issue? >> in terms of the election, members of congress inside the republican party. members of cop yes, their more afraid of challenges from the right, fro the tea party, their own party and organizations aligned with the tea party, than they are with the democrats. our system is rigged in favour offiery mannedering. republicans are afraid of their own. there's a wore inside the party. >> the democrats will paint him as a tea party darling, someone out of touch. will that work.

at what point will the republicans get goodnight him. >> let me respond to what david said about republicans being fearful of their own. it's case by case. it's hardly the norm. the same is true. there's no phenomenon. dispot the left intent on making a story on this war in the republican party. it doesn't exist. with regard to professor brad. when you are knew to the stage, you have one or two passes in terms of not being prepared. there's one pass on saying it wouldn't answer foreign affairs questions do you think republicans will lose the district? >> i would lock the buy in a room completely and not let him

out. he stands more of a chance of winning if they don't put it out. this is a loss outside of politics, and a big loss for virginia. do you think republicans will lose it? >> i don't know. i can't say it. it will be tough. the democrats can win the district. it is winnable. eric cantor could have won, but he forgot he woods in a race. >> that is true. it's winnable, but it's not going to be because the candidate is woefully unprepared. if we want to say professor brat is not prepared, mr trammel is nowhere near ready. speaking of contest, let's switch gears and talk about the 2016 presidential race. hillary clinton's book came out and she had a lot of high profile supporters.

look, justice sotomayor stopping buy. striped tee, flip flops. john lewis came by. what did you guys thing about the book, and what do you think about the timing. >> my book arrived yesterday. the amazon. you making a hard choice to read it? >> yes. i'll look at it, that's for sure. i think it's going to be an exciting roid for hillary clinton. that book is going to number one. >> my copy has not arrived of the hopefully it will be auto graphed. >> waiting with baited breath. >> fine, sure. >> clinton has been getting a lot of heat where she was asked about a position on gay marriage, let take a listen. >> you are playing with my words and the issues.

>> i'm just trying to clarify. >> no, i don't think you are. i think you are saying i used to be opposed and now i'm in favour and i did it for political reasons. that's fat wrong. let's state what you imply. i have a strong record, a great commitment to this issue and i'm proud of what i have done and the progress made. >> hello, what do you thing we can make of that. >> the wrap of hillary clinton is that it's not the riggours of a campaign or cit sims from republicans. she is very engaged to run for president. if it's this npr interview or one within diane sawyer where she made is comment about being broke. to the democrat, let's be frank.

>> that's right. she needs to think long and hard. that's what she's going to get. good for hillary clinton. >> why do you say that. >> there has been no bigger champion for women's right, gay rights, human rights. for anyone to speculate that she was not there in the beginning. >> she said she wasn't. she said "i wasn't there", and said to terry "you weren't either." for anyone to speculate she was not there, it's not true. good for her four pushing back. unlike you and people at al jazeera, a lot of people don't do their homework. i am not sure if terry gross did her homework on that. >> she seemed to be confirming what hillary clinton said. hillary clinton said "look, i

didn't believe in this from the beginning", and terry gross th "did you change?" do you feel like republicans will latch onto this and attach the flip flop turn. >> there's so meaning things that republicans attach to hillary clinton. this is a drop in the budget. this remind me of living with teenagers, they have a up neek in -- unique inability for taking responsibility for actions. her husband's record shows that. this shows one in a long line of inconsistencies that republicans will remind the country of. >> staying in 2016, i want to go to the other side of the isle. some would like to draft mitt romney. romney was hosting an event

whe where. >> mitt romney in 2016. >> wait a minute. >> i hope so. please. put him up. >> david is drooling, you may want to fix that. >> i hope we put it up again. here is what happened. i'm going to have a mitt romney lookalike. another mitt romney, you'll have jed bush, chris christie or someone like it fighting through the ted tom cs, rand paul -- ted cruz's, tea parties of the world, run to the right to get the nomination, and come out on the other end not knowing who they are. this is a party that is against immigration reform. obama administration got 68%.

john carlos boss, george w bush and jed bush under the value of the vote. tea partiers don't. >> john carlos, do you agree with that statement. are you a party against? >> no. of course not. david loves coming back to this. somehow this presidential primary will be unique in history, republicans speaking to all constituencies within the tent. that has been the case in memory, there's nothing unique, nor will there be. david jones. and john carlos. thank i both for being was. 24 hours of electricity. it's something many of us take for granted. in many countries it's the

town to charge their mobile phones. >> other people have other thing to do in the town. whilst shopping, they cab leave the phones, chrgeing in the -- charging in the corner, when they are charged, they can come and collect them. >> the lamps and pedal power is helping to light up burundi. you are getting a live look inside rio de janeiro, where day 3 promises serious goal-scoring action. columbia kicked things off in a 3-0 win over greece. it was costa ricco's term, a 3-1 win over uruguay. it was a first world cup victory and if the biggest match. italy sinking england 2-1.

joins us to shed light. thank you for being with us. >> great to be here. >> how significant is the black through? >> it's huge. being able to diagnose people earlier, we can look further. how to diagnose it. for those diagnosed early, we don't have a cure. it's not that being diagnosed early means they'll have a change in the course of their outcome. let's talk about the scanning technique. it could predict the output of parkinson's, 85% accuracy. how is the new technique different from a normal m.r.i.? >> it's called a functional mru. m.r.i.s are form pictures. here you look at the activity,

for parkinson some of the problems are related to movement. the movement that you make, you are having trouble making them. that's why they move sleely, have trouble writing and have a frozen facial expression. they have double making the movements they want, and they can't stop movements they don't want to make. they can have a tremor. you look at that part of the game and see there are problems early on. >> should getting a scan be part of ask preventative care? >> no, we don't have a treatment. if there was something we can do to prevent the disease happening, like a colonoscopy. something where you could intervene, that's great for preventive measures, but because we don't have a treatment for parkinson's, for people predisposed or want to do

something to help others, they want to get experimental treatment, it's great. they can volunteer and find out and have a change. it's not perfect because some people feel if they are diagnosed early, doesn't that affect the rest of their life. you have to carry that weight. >> you turned upon family history or chromosome toasting, what can you do. there's not one involved in parkinson's, it's things like a mewettation, like agent orange. they can be at risk. if somebody has a strong component, you can look at genetic tests and monitor the person. it's not the normal way of going dings. are we closer to discovery a cure. you mentioned there isn't one.

>> we are closer. this is a break through. you can watch the m.r.i., the brain, and try different treatments and develop new drugs and test it on people and see if you can slow down. interim research is a huge advance, in terms of the people suffering from park jin son's - we are closer to a cure but not quite there yet. dr debbie, from the school of med skin. thank you for joining us. let's look at where the rain may fall across the country with meteorologist eboni deon. >> this is a look at water vapour imagery. i want to show you where the moisture is in place. it's here across the mid west. as we head across parts of the south-east we have drier air. it will be warm, not as sticky
