the world. you knew long wong will the eye. signing up on rt ten cents. ntini and build between russia and ukraine over crimea. today a crimean delegation visited moscow meanwhile last night's allegations of putting thousands of troops on the ground for how bubbly is something straight ahead the forty locals in a town next to my huge toxic landfill find a plan to expand that gentleman sitting presidents have experienced a cluster of birth defects fuelling fears and frustration over their safety from a toxic material named after him up and coming up

and in sochi russia and this year's winter paralympics have gotten athletes from around the world will compete as they represent their home countries. the latest on the opening ceremony and much more during the show. a fan friday marks up and find him in washington d c on an irrigated and watching our america. begin today with the latest in ukraine over the past week ukrainian and western officials had begun accusing russia of sending thousands of troops into the crimea region. back at the claim russia has denied saying instead that the unidentified troops are local militia ask for more on that earlier i spoke with our cheese hollis clear was on the ground in the region's capital. i first asked her to clear up the confusion on who those unidentified troops were really are. wow its ukrainian reports the same

city that point to the figure of some thirty thousand what they say too much of the soldiers who are currently in ukraine predominantly in crime yet now the russian government and the russian authorities have not confirmed this and said it stands on the ground is acting on an action soldiers get that at bottom of the talking about a self defense units that had been formed by the local population. no call mandy says now this is supported by social media for example if you could mention facebook has been a lot of talk and eight. my youngest is saying that they feel unprotected in a film a need to form themselves into these kind of units to patrol the streets and protect themselves. most of this is happening in the city off the basketball which is pretty much a minute each piece has its headquarters. mark sixteen referendum against crime year residents two options either jewelry watch out for just a week ukraine. i do have this sense as to why there is no third option for them to perhaps both. for complete independence of both

countries. whether that is an option because the same team this with a random is about choosing the east or choosing the way sticky like i've been talking to people here in the ground in the sense i keep thinking that the latest polls which point the finger of around sixty to seventy five percent of people in crimea on trying to vote to join with russia at the dentist because it is that twenty three percent of ukrainians who i'm going to say no i mean you'd have sworn a number of minorities which make up the kitties and other such groups as us they have been talking to people gather at the scene of an historic occasion when cousin put it to me a lot of people saying that they are going to go to bed with him and if they believe that they the team for the future not an mp and i realize that the children and grandchildren in the same site. it is that those polls are accurate and if they simply going to seem overwhelming support yet for moving closer to russia as opposed to meeting cousin to the waist clean kitchen break down the demographic i e no

that was what the country is composed of banana repeated sixty five percent between russia and the rest are either ukrainian or other minorities. so even if the people of time yes vote in join russia which is likely based on the percentage of the population is worried that and then an opposition can then form and protests can reignite once again in the region after this referendum. it's almost a given it is going to be an opposition you have the majority who want to go with russia that as keeping saying he wanted to have a minority who are against this well written reports not have made on groups that on to make him a way to crimea to prevent the situation get to the question is not so much with the lineup is going to be in opposition the question is what exactly is the supposition going to do with the tv prognosis and the concern is that they going to come back to violent demonstrations in trying to de stabilize the situation yet we went to auntie b's self defense units of really talking about india. don't be topped with having to de stabilize the situation on

the ground for talking again about people who come from the syrian one to beat the taking their turns. again any kind of publications with other publications from the minority groups kept open else when ukraine a country and assistance to them. and paula turning to the latest is a delegation from the crimean parliament went to moscow today to discuss the recent events and talk about the future. why are there any reaction in those talks to the recent us imposed sanctions on russia or even the eu blacktop of imposing sanctions litigation is in moscow and told to monitor and one of the pencils on the table is actually to make the best of coal we have the maximum itchy feet the capital and up to fifty three on standing firm for the poll the russian president the depression began to receive what he said the full and that is that the ukraine should not become the reason for relations between the waist and russia to deteriorate he will sustain and again he said that

the hope that sanctions are not going to achieve anything he said that sanctions would mean back fine and that is that i'm a stage that the russian president has given before. obviously people counted on to watching this weekend very crispy and again is the thing that was interested in russian is something that isn't a sixteen and two people care in crimea. cohen and president obama tops on the phone for an hour last night and in anything thing they can come on that conversation what was said it doesn't really seem as if it was anything particularly significant. from that conversation is in tv tv does president clinton and president obama agreeing to disagree and it doesn't seem as if there isn't any other option for the tv does at this stage. what did i mention as optus come from a press conference by the organizers of the swiffer lincoln and today he put a four day as an historic occasion they said that everything was going to be transparent that everything was over eighty hp organizing that the decision should be dismantling and can be held tomorrow you can view it like it was one two tb. i think

the circus the funding and demonstration has been planned for tomorrow by the monarchy contact community yet. unlike me she had threatened to have any anti russia so we'll be watching that because he is seen with the money the kind of financial publications was all from that ssa will see keeping an eye on those between groups that we're being told of wake making a way to crime unit. for some kind of possible publication that people can to support russia. alright the referendum is now less than ten days away. archie zappos clear things for your reading. it's a nice rounders maiden name for himself as the lead singer and the recent ukrainian uprising that took place just yet. and now as a representative of the far right movement piazza announced his presidential bid in the elections that are planned to take place on the twenty fifth for a closer look at the country's next potential president here's our chief peter oliver the other is the legal degrees bright say the eco me move around central park the kids right now without

saying that somebody bearing the insignia all his old can i say she and in some circles that call me and now sees the upset in the fall writes that certainly holds an ultra nationalist now we're also hearing from me and inside security services here in ukraine that might set to prove fruitful with them i'm suggesting they must have access to homes and millet recall to active state to receive based weapons and hardware well perhaps they could try in and influence and be the government elsewhere in order to try in a poll taken in the moments of his putting a cell phone for president committee of the show he is the subject of an international warrant was issued by russia on the challenges of insights and terror attacks on the extremist actions. now they are the only strongly nationalist group operating here in ukraine right now we have seen footage of all they met on the personnel carry at driving to the streets of

ukraine bettering the flight both the ukrainian take your seat on the now that's a no can i say sian and ukraine's history of being involved in a number of full rights and ultra nationalist attacks so the tree out of his crew the right sent to all be on the walls but sadly the ones that seem to be and pushing for pollen here in kiev right now. that was our chief peter oliver reporting. nrg recently spoke with the un russian ambassador the time i checked in about the situation and cranny and here's what he and a set the new bin missing a goal of the events which led to the cool indie in kyiv is something i would show was recorded in the agreement to which one's which will sign into my present an opal original position it is an average of one difference they are one of the provisions was about the investigation should be conducted by the government and opposition. but now that

i'm cool with that. we have investigated the matter is that we continue to install new the political such investigation. more endorsements is what material because of limited media as you mentioned. only ignore the little studied this conversation. where are the foot of the stuff was stored in speaking about snipers shooting once my bro while snipers shooting at people both sides but also because i need to investigate lol cats organized and active goals. a challenging and provoking the back of the shia in inti of the saw to it. i condemn multiple sales of throwing rocks at them. a policeman. so it's little things that would be investigated. i think that greeted with a picture of what the outcome would go dietrich and russian ambassador to the un the largest hazardous waste landfill on the west coast is trying to expand. however

the tiny town that sits next to it. helmand city which is in california is fighting back the town is worried about toxic pollution it claims has already caused residents harrowing birth defects. activists have been fighting this landfill for years but the wheels company is still claiming it's a parties' ramon glendale has the story. in the heart of california's central valley kilburn city is home to a vibrant agricultural industry it also sits on oil pipelines and is close to a massive hazardous waste site some residents of this remote and hit the air getting sick from all the pollution caused by the area's industries will it get up and i wouldn't wish and any parent that many parents in this area are going through it unfortunately this trend and five. i guess i'll settle

tears up when she describes the death of her ten month old daughter ashley and two thousandnine an animal in fact if anything the moment they tell you that your child is going to die the week of the world on sunday. you can believe it. they never learned to laugh a lot less than four eleven babies were born with physical deformities in catalan city between september two thousand seven in march twenty ten be the baby's diet sosa has no proof as to what caused illnesses. she claims many of their friends or neighbors have recently been diagnosed with cancer. waste management the company which runs the landfill extort said it's not them. if at all surprised to find out what's going on in the mean one thing we can share is that this facility is not part of the palm that's happening and count when hazardous waste is brought into the kettle in landfill is treated at the facility down here trucks then bring it up to the actual site where it's paid by heavy machinery. they lead the side is fifty three acres and waste management one sat fourteen acres surrounding the current side

that happens it could eventually bring in five hundred seventy five thousand tonnes of hazardous waste every year we studied the clown who studied law at the air. to sharon that there's no environmental impacts to our surrounding community and city residents must drink bottled water because the ground water is contaminated. the twenty ten the california court of health reported that arsenic levels exceeded epa standards government studies ruled that neither the landfill nor the water was linked to birth defects. residents say the investigation in twenty ten didn't tell the whole story. this company and say that i'm major corporation they have a lot of money to buy people's hearts and minds neighbors and environmentalists have been fighting the landfill expansion for years to the landfill expansion is approved. waste management columbus city council million dollars to build a water treatment plant. modest believes it's a bad trade off there's many many communities the epicenter

about me that high up on water quality issues that none of them are being asked to bear the brunt of toxic waste like we are. the fate of the landfills around the heads of regulators. if investing according to their studies. everything is under control and nothing is happening but it's not true as a decision is made. so settle another motor still demanding to find out what it is. that is making the children say the gentleman city california. ramon valley mill rte. the senate has blocked a bill that would have said senior military commanders of their authority to prosecute or even prevent charges for alleged rapes and other serious offences by a vote of fifty five to forty five the bill which was championed by senator kirsten gillibrand failed to get the sixty votes needed for passage. just after the vote to a brand called our congress for not adhering to the military's a zero tolerance policy. take a look. we know that didak is stacked against victims of sexual assault in

the military today. and today sadly. we saw the same in the halls of congress. for two decades. every secretary of defense is a zero tolerance for this crime but all we have seen for nearly twenty five years is zero accountability. for proof jello brand cited pentagon statistics that show just two links and such incidents are being reported and only one between one hundred and in a conviction. the measure would have been moved to military commanders from deciding whether wrongdoing by their subordinates should be prosecuted and instead bad decision making process would be taken outside of the military's chain of command. proponents of the bill insisted that big changes were needed to curb a surge in military rapes and sexual assaults. only affecting the mount and mail service members. however the pentagon leadership vigorously oppose the measure arguing that officers should have more responsibility not last for the conduct of

the men and women in beat them both which ultimately reflected the pentagon's sentiments have been nearly year long fight over how the current sexual assaults in the ranks still ahead here on our team it's the second day of the conservative political action conference or c pap for short. stars of the conservative movement gathering d c to showcase the future of the republican party. the sights and sounds of the complex after the break. and we did the room the moon. i married him going impartial commentary. only on about. in

theory. i've never had that are they there. home remodeling. what. the kids

if you don't. the book addresses the only industry specifically mentioned that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy. check out books oh well. in fact the single greatest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and civic so we can hide change my handful of transnational corporations that would profit by destroying our founding fathers once the market and on the show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going fine. it will be on to identify. rational debate no real discussion of critical issues facing america got ready to join the movement walk with it. well ordered

was pretty tough the story this year. instead of working. politicians and industry and your work. what are they woo. while. the two describe it as a political connection and some as a political circus. either way all eyes are on the conservative political action conference this week the three d and then better known as seo pack picked out yesterday and convention center just outside the nation's capital is often billed as the months to attend a conference for any gop presidential hopefuls which is why today kentucky sen grandpa took front and center seeking to pass the conservative litmus test take a look. in june

imagine with me for a moment imagine a time. when liberty is again spread from coast to coast. imagine a time when our great country is icky and governed by the constitution imagine . imagine if your mind will know why house is once again occupied by a friend of liberty. more on the people making waves on the inside and outside of this year's seed packet mention of the rt scary and boring. cbs. the biggest annual gathering of conservatives in the united states. posted by the american conservative union this year there are over eleven thousand attendees. so exactly is the conservative somebody who believes in liberty in a constitutional system of private property rights a non eligible rights and really embraces the enlightenment and knowledge and reason than

that. in individuals. i mean a lot of different things and then that's what we saw like the first case in point the american eps. they say an atheist can be a conservative but not everyone agrees is apparently they don't understand that there are conservatives who are atheists who don't believe in god. the american atheist or the one down in the building well we're outside because we didn't kick download. we had a table that we paid for in the money was returned because they don't think we belong there i guess what the actu said their credentials were green bow to because baking this bread presented their intent to attend. you have a right to cuddle a private organization and trash christians if you wanna do that he can stand outside trash the baby pack that includes the tibetans and anyone who provides an advantage on the ride. and

all his eggs into the hands of the lord tonight has the ability to pass out during lecture. there's really very little i read the messages that might at last yourself walk by it it's yours. last year chris christie was not invited here is the keynote speaker i would have abided in this period. after closing up to president obama including big government spending in his state after her team sandy. i think he's just a conservative counter the answer. as we look to define what a conservative is that we crossed another nephew since. he writes a new b day and be a concert. one hundred percent i know a lot like the people that are gay are conservatives and we also welcome them and have received had denied being conservative groups from being sponsors or speaker is in response a log cabin republicans are boycotting the conference but on the other side of the spectrum the national policy institute at the that supports the european identity and is maintained and as a white nationalist organization cannot be a

sponsor either because we we take on issues that they don't mind. you'd rather be called right wing extremists to my seat back a racist or something like that apparently there are too conservative. they don't want to think about who we are adding to the identity of everyone around you see a lot of people there in a mostly all whites them as the priests and the missing people. while the european identity yet and that's what unites them announce that brings together get something they would continually deny and run away from. former staffer to president ronald reagan conservatives want to get an invite. i guess i'm a little confused every year we don't use invited whether it's a liberal republican but it's gay rights group whether it's hates his backing group the taxi. christians. this is the conservative political action conference. if you're really not a conservative like me really looking to throw in our political grenades and so forth and so on. when you're really not invited. i wasn't invited in

it seems the american conservative union passes out and bites conservatively but still attracts a broad audience national harbor maryland you're in during our tea. that's why i'll personally my novel bank the son in law of osama bin laden's is now underway in new york city. ironically just blocks away from ground zero of the day is the highest ranking al qaeda member to be tried in the us since the september eleven attacks. prosecutors say abu ghraib on muslim cleric from quake played a critical role in a group before and after the attacks of september eleventh. they say although the bank did not plan al qaeda's attacks didn't mind the mind and can handle me in the weeks and months after september eleventh to produce propaganda videos. however a blog rights attorney says the government has no real evidence against his client only words and associations the defense has argued that the government's case rests almost entirely on to one reliable witnesses and a few

videos. now if convicted of bank is expected to spend life in prison for hand and no poor old. prosecutors chose not to seek the death county since he is not accused of directly planning or conducting acts of terrorism will continue to fall the story and bring you updates. the eleventh paralympic winter games are officially under way in sochi russia on the games will hundrd forty seven athletes from forty five different countries across nine days of competition ball taking five place on the black sea coast and in the caucasus mountains the very latest on the game's looks good art easel and see france on the ground in sochi. this stadium on the cusp of cost or does the time you can see it lit up like that all of the fireworks just one off spectacular show. many of you out they were lucky enough to cash in on the tv at entire show it is just absolutely amazing run a really great production that all of the ad
