6:05 am
militia attacked with ma shchet and guns. the judge said they carved up victims limbal lby limb. they talked about the fact katanga was so young at the time, 24 years old. he has a young family, six children. those were things they discussed before reaching the sentence. >> this was in 2003 of course. did the court discuss whether he may have supporters back at home? do we know their potential reaction or was it so long that situation isn't isn't important anymore? >> reporter: the situation is important. the village was wieped out and the judge said that was their intention. they talked about how villagers
6:06 am
didn't want to return. all homes were burnt militia sold animals in the yards. there aren't people now that will remember this happening is what they are saying in court. as far as katanga goes, they say he has the potential to inform he's engaged with the court process. they'lly4 see that has a relatively small sentence. others say this will show it will not be tolerated. three heavily armed men attack the consulate # in the city. the indian foreign ministry says all is at stakes. hundreds of firefighters are

6:08 am
rebel brigade. >> hostilities are going on all the time. perhaps it was naive thinking they could hold the election process without trouble on the ground. i don't think this was a huge rally. it was what they call a tent set up by supporters who would have gathered in the evening. i'm not sure if there were speeches going on. it was hit by a mor ter by rebels. 20 killed, half civilians and the other were armed supporters of the government. that's not clear. they think the death toll may rise. 30 people were injured, some very seriously. there may be some who su come to their wounds. it's making initiatives on the

6:11 am
most of the protests camps have really been dispanded now. many have come together to express frustrations of what has happened. what will be interesting is how long the military will allow this to progress for. >> it's interesting looking at pictures that there are no red shirts or yellow shirts. there's no colors to signify who these people are. might they be from both sides of the political device? >> i don't think they are from both sides. they are not from what a we broadly call the yellow shirt movement. what they have tried to do, most the people here are wearing black. the candles as you saw there in that memorial down there. this is a weight for democracy than anything else.
6:12 am
very brave in many ways. people are gathering more than five people now illegal in thailand. the military could decide it doesn't want to tolerate this. >> is there media censorship in the country, how much will get around the country, do you think? >> through the main television station, next to nothing. the broadcast channel as have been taken over. it's through social media now. nothing has been done to shut down social media. pictures will be circulating on social media. facebook is popular here, twitter. word will get out of this demonstration. a show of defiance against the military leadership. who knows, possibly other people will see it and want to replicate themselves. >> if there are more developments at that scene, we'll be back with you.

6:14 am
it's the exit of money from the country we've seen. the russian foreign ministry estimates $51 billion was pull ed from the country. since the ukraine crisis began, it could be like $220 billion. that's taken its toll on the currency. moscow has been trying to pump up the markets. it's still down, around 7% with major currencies in the past two months. we'll hear from nigel later. we're also looking at ebay. there's growing pressure on the commerce giant over security practice t practices. ebay urged users to change pass words after saying hackers had broken into the database. three states have launched a joint investigation into the
