political landscape a powerful earthquake. >> i was home watching tv and was thrown out of my bed. widespread destruction. now the safe for fivers and the bed. -- for survivors and the dead. >> tomorrow we'd hope to have five helicopters in canned. >> in canada a quake in nepal. we begin in nepal, where the earthquake killed close to 2,000. 5,000 feared to be injured, and they are expected to rise as rescue crews reached the areas hard to get to. tens of thousands are homeless forced to sleep outside in the open, in the cold and in the

rain. the epicentre for the magnitude 7.8 quake was 50 miles north-west of canada india and pakistan. aid is pouring in from around the world. >> reporter: rescuers searched throughout the night through the rubble. the epicentre 60 miles from catherine the great. it collapsed a tower, leaving dozens under the rub. >> the threat of aftershocks kept many from going home. >> what if an earthquake comes again. me and my family haven't gone

back to the room since the earthquake. >> there has been more than a dozen aftershocks. it set off an avalanche on mef rest. 10 people died on the mountain. >> the rescue effort was described as chaotic. india's foreign secretary said it send aircraft with supplies and responders and more help on the way. >> we have five helicopters in kathmandu and in another area. these helicopters - their role would be to do the local rescue, to do the air lift if they have to, and to do full distribution locally. >> the hardest hit areas, the heavily populated kathmandu valley.

there was heavy damage on the chinese border and neighbouring countries. 123450 the next 72 hours will be critical for finding and rescuing survivors. after shocks are making the rescue effort more challenging tonight, google is confirming that one of its executives is among the dead. the company said that dan fredden berg was hiking mef rest when the -- mount everest when the quake others. three others were with him, they are safe joining us is patrick fuller from the international red cross. tell us what you are hearing as reports are coming in from the field. how bad is bad?

>> well that's difficult to quantify at this stage. we are one day in. in a major earthquake situation, it's difficult to get a grasp on the full extent of the damage. it's early days. we are concerned about the situation outside of the canada valley. it is relatively accessible. there's only about three main routes out to the outstanding districts. in some places we are concerned. we had anecdotal reports that villages have been flattened. the priority for everyone is to get out and do aerial assessments, to get a sense of what the damage is, and what the needs are. >> how concerned are you that the death toll that is more than 2000, will continue to rise. >> we can be confident that it will rise. we don't have a clear picture of what the situation in the outloi

outlaying areas and down. to have a death toll at this point is around 2,000. it will rise. there are people trapped under rubble debris and collapsed houses. search and rescue is the priority at the moment. >> walk us through the hours of a disaster like this. how do the international aid teams get organised. >> it's a well-tested process. from the red cross there's an international response. back to assessment teams. emergency teams. the central accord nation club is here. this is the head office, we can organise logistical supply froms here and dubai. the main asset is nepal red cross, who have extensive experience on the ground in nepal. they are a key part of the government part of the

contingency plan. their volunteers play a vital role. they are in the community trained in first aid. they can respond quickly, had is what they are doing. >> you have a grasp on how large an area we are talking about. >> not exactly at the moment, but the epicentre was 80km from canada. the real epicentre is a 100km radius. there's 6 million in the vicinity. it's a large population. in 2008 there was a devastating earthquake in sichuan province. similar magnitude to this in nepal, killing 60,000 people. we hope that will not be repeated in this case. >> was nepal prepared. if they were were your organizations able to hit the ground running of.

>> the organization is there. they are port of the fabric. recross is a major response. and they have been working with the government in 2005. there's a coalition of organizations preparing for an event like this including the red cross, the u.n., the india and sri lankan government looking at what role each organization can play in this situation. at this stage, obviously the priority is to ensure that search and rescue effort are car youred out as -- carried out as efficiently as possible and ensure that people left out in the cold. they are too fearful to go back to their homes, that they are taken care of. a lot of people are sheltering in the hope it's cold poor weather, it's raining. we have to met their needs. >> based on what you hear from

the field reports, what does nepal need? >> it needs international assistance. the indian government mobilized relief materials and crews who flew in yesterday. the big challenge at the moment as in any earthquake situation is logistics. mobilizing relief into the country. there's one international airport in kathmandu that can cope with the capacity of aircraft. at the moment it's closed to commercial traffic. we hope it will open up soon. >> patrick fuller with the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. thank you for being with us. >> today's deadly quake measured 7.8 on the record of interviewer scale. three happening in the last 15 years alone. the biggest in 2004. it was a 9.1 quake in some art

ra leaving many dead. 15,000 died in a later quake. in chile, an 8.8 quake struck, killing 500,000 people. >> hear in the u.s. there were protests in baltimore, more than 1,000 people taking to the streets. the day of progress passed. as night drew near tempers flared. freddie gray died a week after being arrested by police. police acknowledged yesterday that he should have refused medical attention at the scene. protesters are demanding justice. john terrett has the story. >> reporter: come nightfall baltimore police braced for the worst. in the end small numbers got out of hand cameras capturing

images of a small number of young people breaking windows. officers moved in breaking up squirmishes. arrests were made. the day began, continuing with several thousand marches converging on the downtown for a rally and speeches against police brutality. al jazeera was present when the marchers entered the city center. >> it's the end of the march approaching baltimore city hall area. people are tired. we'll find out what some of them think. can i ask you a question - why do you think a march like this is effective. what can it achieve? >> we are trying to stop the violence between the police and us. they didn't have to kill the boy. they didn't have to kill the boy. it was wrong, it's injustice. we doing this to keep the piece. . >> that is the sentiment of

freddie gray's family. his cousin attended the rally. >> there's so much injustice. there's no reason the police conduct themselves in a manner where it cost them his life. i understand breaking the law is wrong, the way they apprehended him, the things they did, it was wrong. >> protesters broke away to camden valley, to the baseball game between the orioles and the red sox. the mood changed from peaceful to anger. that's a sign of how much hurt and frustration there is in the city. >> it's the natural frustration that bowls over when you have injustice and a young population that is angry and fired up. so they ended up clashing with the press. -- with the police. >> freddie gray's death sparking

anger across maryland. we take a look. >> we want to ask serious questions about why this is happening. >> reporter: a week after freddie gray was pronounced dead after injuries suffered whilst in police custody, protesters took to the streets. the largest protest, and unlike the others made up of mostly african-americans, a wider cross-section of people are joining in. >> i think what happened with freddie gray and all over the country is not a new problem, it's an old problem, as old as the count rip. as long as that -- country. as long as that problem exists there's a movement against it. >> everyone is angry, everywhere wants answers. >> we want justice yes, i do. they have a thing where the police is to protect and serve, right. the only thing they are serving now is this disaster and death. >> reporter: they want the officers involved to be charmed

and an end to commonplace police brutality and racial profiling in the community. police admit it was a mistake not to get gray help when he was screaming in pain and not to secure him with a seatbelt in the back of the van. an inquiry is under way, six officers on unpaid leave pending an outcome of the investigation. >> we need justice. police need to do prison time. they needed - justice needs to be served. there's no national database of deaths involving police in the u.s. an fbi your analysis suggest baltimore police killed 120 people over the past 20 years. >> the police commissioner promised reforms and said in the last three years, he fired 50 officers for wrongdoing. these protesters say freddy gray's desk showed how many problems exist and why they remain on the streets. >> reporter: freddy gray's death

was a spark leading a fire in this community. gray will be buried on monday rebels in syria appear to have captured a strategic town in the north-west. this is the video posted on lied. showing fighters capturing the town from the syrian government. it was the last major town under government control, and the latest in a series of setbacks in the north and south. rebels are pushing west towards the coast a stronghold of the government elite. saudi-led coalition air strikes targeted air strikes in aden in the port city, following a week of clashes on the ground. al jazeera's victoria gatenby reports. >> fighters loyal to the president in exile come under

fire north-west of aden. a fighter is injured on the ground and they are trying to rescue him without being shot. houthi rebels and forces loyal to ali abdullah saleh have been trying to push their way into this area. these fighters are trying to prevent the city falling under houthi control. street to street battles continue in the center of the city with tanks and heavy shelling trying to force the hewitt houthis to retreat or surrender. pro-government forces take control of an area of the city. taiz is seen as the gate way to southern yemen and both sides are fighting hard to control it. >> the humanitarian situation is worse things. there's a lack of fuel and essentials like food and water.

after a month of bombing most in yemen want the war to end. in the city to the north people describe an owned to the coup calling for the implementation of the nations peace plan. >> despite saudi arabia indicating the aerial bombing is over. air strikes continue in aden tees and sanaa. in a village, people are too frightened to stay. >> translation: there used to be 54 houses with 75 households living in them. after the air streaks, no one lives here. saudi arabia and its partners repeatedly said they will not stop the attacks until president abd-rabbu mansour hadi is reinstated. a command so far rejected. for the people in yemen, the fighting and misery continues. >> coming up on al jazeera america - presidential

candidates can raise millions for their campaigns before they announce that they are running. that was not always the case. it has a lot of people asking if it is ethical. we take a deeper look. >> ash from chile's volcano is spreading. back to the top story, the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck nepal. more coming up this hour. this hour.

tonight we take a deeper look at pacts and the

presidency. republican presidential hopefuls are in iowa for the faith and freedom event. democratic counterparts gather in south carolina a chance for would-be candidates to bin over supporters and woo the donors. for more than 30 years candidates accepted your money, public money, then the 2010 citizens united sector. opening to private donations. jed bush is yet to enter the race, but is criss-crossing the country to raise money to fund a campaign. individuals can give him $2,700. they can give the pact as much as they wanted. spending has skyrocketed. michael shure takes a look at big money.

>> reporter: most candidates dream of running more in the pockets than they left with. rather than counting cards he is counting on the generosity of sheldon adelson, trying to play the role of king maker in the 2016 election. the 36th richest american is expected to spend upwards of $100 million. >> an individual with millions tense of millions hundreds of millions, could fit the bill for a campaign, and make a difference have a determinative effect. >> reporter: running for president is about getting the most electoral vote. the new way of campaigning is about getting the most cash. it's the legacy of the supreme court's 2010 citizens united ruling allowing compses and unions to pend unlimited sums of

money on campaign. and the recent case allows for nonprofit organizations to accept limited donations from individuals. it is precisely this provision that will allow jed bush to have all television advertising and mail paid for by an entity allowing unprecedented funds. and to operate with a coordinated effort. >> the republicans seem to be talking only about me. >> before bush is a candidate. >> we must do better than the obama administration-clinton foreign policies that has damaged us. bush seems to lean towards a campaign financed by a super pack carefully threading through a loophole in campaign

lou allowing unlimited donations to fuel a message machine operating at arm's length from the candidate and his campaign. most pacts, including right to rise can establish a related nonprofit where donors are anonymous. >> the right to rise super-pact who does that come from, we have as a right to rise who it is coming from we have no idea. >> it's not just republicans, before there was hillary for president, there was ready for hillary. a super pact with billionaire george soros as his finance chair. by delaying the announcement ready for hillary was able to continue fundraising. that may be why jed bush is taking time before declaring.

campaign finance law is mak g it so you may be able to buy the house, this house. >> samuel is a professor of constitutional law at n.y.u., and obrien murray with us a republican strategist and the they are in studio tonight. mr murray, if i'm the little guys, john or jane doe public, and i call my congressman, and a big name donor calls the congressman, one that lays out millions of dollars, who does the congressman answer the phone call from first? >> that's a different way of looking at it. people met the congressman in the street, and some say call my office. that's why they call. >> who does the congressman pick up the call from first? >> someone in the office answers the call first. it's not a relationship. >> you are saying it doesn't matter it someone donates a million to someone that

donates as they can. >> if they donate a million. they know who it is. if they met them on the street staff knows them to. >> that's ridiculous. if someone gives me a million dollars i answer their call right away. the question is they need the million. it's a reality of life. what is the accountability transparency, what can the voters decide about who you get money from. nobody in politics would ever claim that. >> answer the question this way. why do we dance around that issue so much? anybody out there watching right now realises what mr isaacson says. if someone donates a million to you, you answer the call. why are we so sensitive about this? >> there's an appearance of impropriety and how it's handled. and what they could be calling about. they could be calling about an issue in the district, that they care about, that is education across the board. you can walk into a congressional office and talk to

a staffer based on the service. >> if all of this is decided by big-named donors, mr isaacson, and backroom deals, why have an election. are we looking at window dressing and calling it democracy? >> no, i think the voters matter. we had a lot of big-name people that pour in resources and they lose. that's right. shelton put a lot of money in behind the candidates, and every one lost. the voters matter. i think the question is what empowers the voters in a democracy. i think we focused on the illusion that there's corruption, that i give you $5, and you change your vote. these candidate have positions. everywhere knows what their positions are. they need money for the campaign. it helps voters know what they are doing to find out where the

money is from. that's why transparency is the biggest issue. the problem with the super pacts is that they operate in the shadows, and no one knows where the money comes from or how the money is spent. we did a lot to squeeze the candidates and the parties, making it hard for them to raise or spend money, technical details and an oversight. we created a shadow world where there's too much money floating around. >> the number one donor was a democrat. the first candidate cannot take funds, was president obama. mccain spent less than $100 million. about about $87 million. and the obama more than $700 million. when you talk about money in politics, you have to look across the aisle. >> it's not a democrat or republican thing. both sides are raising record numbers of cash. the question that has to be

asked is does it pass the smell test? . >> when you say the smell test disclosure is important. no question about it. we need the money in politics. there's 35 countries spending a billion a year. g.m. is 2 or 3. over four years, that's $4 billion. is it more important for dollars to be spent on the next congress member, or what car you buy. when you talk about money in politics, there has to be an opportunity to get it out there. >> does it pass the smell test? >> of course it does. >> it passes the smell test if it's transparent. we may not like the fact that candidates have to grovel for money, and if you are on an email lists you have solicitations for money, it's

it's expensive. we push the money not to the candidates and the parties. that we know how to deal with. we had that in american history, they needed the money to do politics. they push it to the organisations, we don't know organisations, we don't know who hey are. >> 527s disclose donors and expenses. there are the c4s, but there is a significant amount of disclosure about where the money comes in. you are poiging out there's not 100% of disclosure. >> there's so much funny poured into campaigns, and i remember the last election, there was so much negative advertising on the air in virgin, that is almost cancelled each other out. every time you turned it on,

there was this a guy saying this one stinks, that guy stinks. is no one paying attention to the messenger. >> short answer is no. if it didn't work, we wouldn't do it. we test on focus group and polls. polls.c >> does one man, one vote count. >> it's not effective at the amount of money spent. if you live in ohio, and north carolina, you see the negative ads, you talk to anyone under 40. when was the last time you watched a television ad during normally broadcast hours? it doesn't exist. what we have is a lot of advisors or older candidates living in the 1970s, and think that television big buys. sorry i'm on television saying this, is the way to go in campaigns. it's the ground game. getting people mobilized. >> it's the ground game, the internet. >> it brings me to the next question. if we are focussing on the money, what are the campaigns focussing on that we are not paying attention to.

what is the next frontier. >> i think the republicans shocked the democrats in 2004, and the democrats shocked the republicans in '08 and '12 on the use of new technology, reaching out to voters. the internet donations for president obama in 2008 or 2012, there was about 4 million people that gave money. the amount of money are not the sheldon adelson amounts of money, but each of those people became a stakeholder in the campaign. i think the campaigns on both sides recognise that you need to mobilize people, get them to get out the vote. you need the coffees at the house. things of that sort. and the money poured in by whether it's george sorelson on

one side or the koch brothers doesn't translate to that. >> people are not watching tv like in the traditional steps, but on the computer, hand-held devices, there's a way to call up voters. and then we can identify them. door to door with hand-held devices. all those activities make the difference in a campaign. that changed things in ohio. >> i want you both to do something that your significant others will be proud of. that is empowering the consumer. how can the john or jane doe empower the cash. >> the first thing is what i do, volunteer. when you volunteer and make the calls, when you support someone, that's being active, that's how you met the candidates. someone that has a 9-5 job saying they want to effect the political process. i can't spend my life, like you did. >> when you are at home at night

you can contact people on facebook and support the candidate. there's captains throughout this country organising precinct and buildings. whether you are a democrat or republican. >> the big saving grace for the voter, for the consumers, is at some point you have to get votes. money doesn't translate to votes directly, it translates through people and translates poorly. it's a saving grace. the hope is that different form of organisations, whether it's facebook or twitter, new form of communication, particularly as the population ages and the new generation takes hold, that that will dampen the role of money. >> is the end game trying to get the educated consumer not to vote or get them to vote? >> you get them to vote. you want to identify your voters. >> what about the other guys, would you rather have everyone or just your guys. >> my job is getting my people to vote. >> is that good for america? >> it's great for america. competition is what built the

country, and political competition is the lifeblood of democracy. he gets his people out. i get mine out, and together we are insentivised, mobilizing the population. most of us have this and that, and ideas, and know how to reach me where i cap be reached, which may be a twitter account doubt date >> let me ask the question away. what is the big money doing to make sure his voters don't come out and yours do. how are they negatively trying to affect the election? >> that's defining the opponent before yourself. the reality is people don't pay attention to an election until after september, after labour day. that's the history. they have two months to get the message out. if you run for office, and i

define you for what i want to define you as, it's better for me. >> does that you truly define me as an opponent. i knew a person that ran for house seat. they said it wasn't what they were frying too prove that they were negative but the lie they were trying to encounter. >> if this happens, you can't be too sensitive if you want to go to politics. people are good. they are used to hearing coke and pepsi tell you what is wrong with the other one, and they failed the taste test. people are discerning, as long as there's competition, and both sides have an incentive to get us out. as long as they talk to me, the voter, it shapes up well. it's been a good run. >> if you run an ad, an outright lie, the press call you on it, the internet calls you on it, whether it's twitter or facebook, it's better than 100 years ago.

100 years ago this was no way to counter these. >> there's fact checks. >> i'll give you the last word. thank you both. >> thank you next, thousands take to the streets of baltimore protesting the death of a man who died in police custody. we hear from a group who says protests are not the answer. >> the italian coast guard overwhelmed as more migrants make the dangerous crossing to europe. europe.

more on the demonstrations in baltimore, thousands demanding justice for freddie gray, the 25-year-old arrested on april 12th. cell phone video shows police dragging him into a van, he sleeped into a coma dying a week later. he suffered a spinal cord injury. police are saying he needed medical attention on the scene. he didn't get it.

baltimore residents want to change the way police interact with the community. john terrett has more. >> reporter: they set off early saturday afternoon heading for city hall the amount to shut baltimore with a rally against police brutality, thousands of people filled the streets, many coming from out of town. but there is another way say some locals. ray and melissa kelly call themselves a power couple. they work full-time jobs, but make time to come into a poor neighbourhood, to work for no boundaries. a group dedicated to help a community that is oppressed by the police. >> they see this. the media is covering the protest. everyone wants justice now, and we have to recognise the process, and we have to get behind the efforts fighting for the same justice for years. >> he does mean years. no boundaries has been working

to improve policing, security health care and nutritional issues for eight years, and that is why they say a large scale protest like todays is in danger of backfiring. >> we don't go in yelling, screaming, cursing, badgering the police. we do prayer, and we talk to them. we let our voices be heard so that they can help us to make change. >> that works? >> yes, it does work. most of the time it works. >> but they say there's much more to be done, that outsiders for a day can't achieve. still ahead - how people in chile and argentina are dealing with the aftermath of the kalbuko volcano that erupted twice. and two decade after being brought it the united states to be adopted, a man faces

deportation because of something that happened when he was just a toddler.

more than 6,000 people have been evacuated from the area and chile's calbuco volcano, it spread ash into the air affecting flights in chile, brazil and argentina. on the ground people are waiting and watching for scenes of an eruption. lucia newman reports. >> reporter: like a sleeping giant the calbuco reminded chile lying dormant is a cat nap. the more than 10 million-year-old volcano erupted sunday. now many of the 4,000 residents forced to evacuate were allowed to return to the red zone to check

on their homes, and clear roads and roofs as best they could. >> translation: i came to remove the ash from the roof so it will not collapse. we are nervous and do not know when we'll be able to return home. >> a state of emergency remains in effect in towns and cities near calbuco. >> translation: the volcano is unstable and could erupt again. it's an eruption, but it could be larger lava flows, mudslides and explosions that could put people's lives at risk. >> as the calbuco continued to belch huge clouds of ash in the destruction of neighbouring argentina, where air traffic has been disrupted, here volunteers distribute food and water to those trying to salvage their belongings, or simply find their pets. these cows re sitting in what

48 hours ago were lush green pastures. now these and other livestock are being evacuated. >> there's at least 600 animals >> there's at least 600 animals we need to take elsewhere, because there's too much ash. they will starve if they stay here. most of this volcanic ash looks and feels like a collection of stones. absolutely everything here is covered in it. the worst part was not trying to clear this away, which could take as long as a year. it's the uncertainty about whether the volcano will go back to sleep or erupt. that is something experts tell us only the volcano knows for sure. in italy more migrants rescued from near disaster, the coast guard saying it brought 335 to safety in the sicilian port. the first group rescued off the

coast of libya, where the raft was in danger of sinking. another group, including 38 women and a child were rescued from a different vote. many trying to reach the shores are from africa. catherine soi talks to some ethiopians making the journey. >> reporter: almost everyone here knew five young men killed along side migrants by i.s.i.l. in libya last week. they were headed to europe through a well-smuggled route. the plan to cross the sea to italy. in the neighbourhood where three grew up. many joined the families in mourning. they were inconsolable, the pain hard to describe. this couple were looking for a better life. many friends were desperate to leave. many say life was difficult, and staying in ethiopia was not an option.

>> these are some of the childhood friends that saw them off 2 months ago, hoping to follow soon. as they grieve, they have not abandoned the plan. >> i know they are dangerous. it's better than being stuck here. i know life will be better when i go. >> reporter: this man attempted a journey. he never got to his destination. they were turned back at the border. smugglers failed to agree on a payment for the border police. >> the smugglers are brutal. they don't care about anyone. they care only about money. they beat us. they treat us badly. >> ethiopia has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. it's a poor country, many are unemployed. some believe it's a mentality, rather than poverty driving people to leave. >> the mind-set.

the collective psychology of going to dreamland countries of destination with plenty of opportunities has been a driving factor. >> but in the neighbourhood the vigil goes on. as some of the young people dream of plans to leave the country, no matter what thousands of south koreans are back on the streets of seoul protesting the government's labour policies. they say the policies will reduce wages job security and retirement benefits. and are angry with the president for the way the ferry disaster was handled. more than 300 died when the ferry sank off the south korean south-west coast. 350 were high school students. some koreans are waiting to see if they too, will be desupported. as allen schauffler -- deported. as allen schauffler tells us that includes a man adopted and

brought to the u.s. adam was born in korea, raised in the u.s. could have his life turned upside down again. >> someone took me as a child. sent me to this country and failed to finalise the adoption through the naturalization process. >> reporter: he was three when his mother left him and his sister at an orphanage. adopted by american parents, he bounced from home to home before doing taken in by tom and dowly. they were convicted on a dozen counts of criminal mistreatment and assault on members of his adopted family. adam had his own troubles with the law, including a conviction for burglarizing their home. >> i went to prison, 25 months. >> reporter: his adoptive father served 90 days. adam served three prison terms,

the most recent in 2013 for assaulting a room-mate. >> i will not sit here and say i'm a guy that should be ab solved of everything i have done. i'm responsible, and i did the time. >> he learnt that his criminal record could cost him and his new family. >> there, that amount. >> his efforts to become a permanent u.s. resident tripped a homeland security background check. immigration officials tell the stay at home dad he could be deported, sent to korea, because he has felony convictions and is not a u.s. citizen. he has no contact with korean relatives and does not speak the language. >> no one made the citizenship official. the crafter family didn't. adoption organizations didn't. nowhere along the line from you made a u.s. citizen. >> immigration, customs enforce. tells us the agency does not

track how many adoptees like adam have been deported or could be. we asked ice for an on-camera interview and were turned down. the agency offered to answer questions we asked by email. the spokesman responded in part: the child citizenship act of 2000 guaranteed citizenship to adoptees 18 and under. there is no suf provision for older a -- such provision for older adults. at 40 years of age, adam could be uprooted sent to his native and foreign country.

>> i made a lot of mistakes along the way and learnt hard lessons, i'm still an american. >> reporter: for a few months at least, this is home still ahead on al jazeera america - they are on a mission from moscow to berlin poland is trying to stop the notorious group of bikers from coming across the border.

a group of pro-russian bikers are hitting the road to germany, a route that the soviet army took in the second world war. poland wants them stopped at the border. tensions in europe high, the trip is called provocative. rory challands went to meet them. >> reporter: revving up for the summer season, these are russia's bikers. they sport the look of outlaws, rebels of the road. but born to be wild - not these days. now they ride for russia and christianity. >> translation: our values are based on the same thing in which our country is based. it's orthodox religion. >> leader of the pack is alexander. he is on a u.s. sanctions list

for involvement in the russian takeover of crimea. at the wolves club house he chose me favourite likes and articulated believe and force attempting to control world affairs. >> there's a new technology destroying as much as a nuclear weapon, it's controlled chaos. we see the sitation in iraq. russia can be the leader in the sphere. a spiritual sphere. this is the great meaning of russia, russia is not the salvation. salvation will come from russia. >> oorth doxy, patriotism, and a commitment to spare the nation, it's easy to see why they like vladimir putin, and he likes them. he's ridden with them a number of times. others find the union worrying.

>> it's part of a more general campaign to fit the conservative majority, the consolidated majority. and fit it against anybody who would not pledge allegiance to the states. >> poland has concerns. it says 20 nightwolfs that plan to trace the advance from eastern berlin will not be allowed throw. warsaw views russia as hostile. the wolves say if they are stopped at the polish boarder, they'll find a way of getting in, they are not hinting at how, but a suggestion that they may split up and get in individually through different border posts. it's a measure of tensions that an e.u. country is nervous about and a measure of modern rush a that a leather-clad bikie gang
