that all of this equipment is up from gucci at training exercises with us though reports circulating. and that i haven't achieved it with the hobby frock made their way to the russian border there's also a growing suspicion amongst the locals there. there is no achievements in private. kiev is trying to provoke the population to drive and check on what is already a very tense situation in the region. so with these suspicions. along with planned demonstrations across the region will type up for the week. it's only adding to what is a very essence an intense situation there in the city plan. the first time in crimea an anti government protests in eastern ukraine has triggered a backlash from ultra nationalist in kyiv the leader of the reit sector was running for president. i suggest the blowing of gas pipelines linking the russian t u r and is just the latest in a string of threats against moscow coming from people who have significant story gets her good work is going off now reports with sentences line between moscow and kiev ukraine's weight when radicals of importing even more fuel on the fly russia

is making money by supplying oil and gas to the west or pipeline. so we'll just call it. yes she's the leader of the ecclesial nationalist movement the rights act is along the main engines that will debut its violent scene he pointed a gun or the white adults to talk about it the cable subtitles the stories on you as a legitimate government by the way. that's despite all the farms. most of its bills debts and the fact that the uprising brought a wave of far right extremist pro atheist believes conversation also suggested someone from the new government was behind the snipers fired on both protesters and police in the capital the possible book to arrive are proving in west and ten cities unless they had read the novel

frankenstein because if they had signaled that the most of the doctor frankenstein created. wiggle out of control and this monstrous threats by the reit sector is in the a grade one for people in europe because i'm nice to start all of the european union's gas supply is coming from russia. even before threatening to blow off the bike lane. yet i should already be in place on an international wanted list by moscow for making another menacing statement publicly called on kitchen to restore money to launch attacks on bush to refuse to recognize steve's new authorities. it is loosely new model also known as the russians in london took responsibility for various attacks in the forties and civilians including the two thousand and ten moscow metro in the two thousand eleven villages are looking for actual airport bombings. over seventy people were killed in

these two attacks alone watch body will fuel from energy supplies and calling on attack will show was the nuts we still on the arsenal it will be a very different conversation. iran a deputy from the stubble deployed he said he would take if less than a year to build up a nuclear arsenal. we need to see responsibility from the levy will house now to know what's happening in ukraine to look at changes that went on. i too really a focus on the seriousness of the problem now with its ultra nationalists in power in ukraine. the changes that they pose to the beach to the region not to europe as a whole. it's hard to predict what sort of threats may come from a new way queen political elite in ukraine what's clear so far neither towards northern needs that any new facts on the foreign political support in the west you go to school fourteen

moscow. so aside from ukrainian politicians may sound alarming but just how realistic is it. we've been putting together some facts of the country's nuclear capabilities and here's what we sow. ukraine's an idea comes from nuclear power. so certainly got to know how unfortunately for tea of all that snow is bought from russia and has no way of enriching uranium to weapons grade. on the other hand since i really wanted to take reactor waste to make a dirty bomb but dang this ukraine would not only be breaking its international commitments but its own constitution which forbids nuclear weapons as for delivery vehicles and nuclear payload can be placed in a simple artillery shell or rock and bots can all be done in three to six months the answer unfortunately is yes. hello ten bomb can be put to gather in that timeframe. ukraine's current prime minister has vowed to hunt down separatists and make them pay. rain will fly

to lose responsible for instigating separatism. we will find them in the eu is to increase the war on trial the very ground will burn beneath the sea. there will be new place and where they will feel safe in the russian going on the beach. he's also planning to beef up the tiny army for starters the government can slash nearly seven hundred million dollars off the country's services budget in favor of the military meaning severe social cuts. the ascii it admits it needs and thirty five billion dollars to stave off bankruptcy and while the fifteen billion dollars promised by the eu. still what a long way off. but the guy seems their concerns western powers who are more focused on punishing mosque at all the popular vote in crimea thirty six ers as the details. well that said racing had the referendum insulting crime in last night and today comes

the referendum how i made a few nights the kids at the eu have condemned the referendum is illegal and said that a wedding recognize the outcome is a european this is the gang's be meeting today to discuss the citations delhi police had full set of possible travel bans and asset freezes and that maybe the fracas now is getting to be when exactly how far the sanctions bogut and i think the song he'll be pitching for much for the sanctions the business take out the round table to discuss that's meant that many of these in european countries about eighteen ninety cents there any tv souls. i come in from the set at the city of london typical stereotype financial connections. the russian investment as it will in fact i think they will be bagging and lightening thief at the conference will take the exploration update very much well be at the forefront of deadlines i think when they decide exactly what these actions will be at pinnacles mindful of me just how far reaching and like

the thank you for the day despite hawkish rhetoric from politicians european businesses are taking a more cautious approach warning that the eu itself has plenty to lose from sanctions russia is the european union's third largest trade partner. nearly half of the cars made in as the eu and russia as this eighteen percent of chemical production plus european consumers get one third of your natural gas supplies from gas from and then there's a huge profits from philly and sports to moscow bought. that's only half the story precious contribution to the global economy's ills and not to be underestimated. the adults for example twenty first and of the worlds team comes from russia. i'm an old that is in industries from aviation to jewelry. nearly half the world's palladium which makes your card reader is mined in russia as well. then there's russia's massive contribution in platinum diamonds and many other minerals. so any disruption in supply of those commodities is bound to reverberate across the global

economy. former spokesman for india's prime minister explain why eu and us sanctions are unlikely to last. united states has followed a policy of strategic engagement session do they. he's among the religious among the ethnic society the twenty eighth may. and that they are up. last evening the keystone of videos including especially the investment of one of the show. second you it is both easier and oppression guess the west does not have the money so what is going to happen is that you can make it simpler to sanctions. get into negotiations with russia

washington's threats against moscow outstripped those from the eu. the white house has of course rejected the crimean tobin said mosque and needs to pay the us insists the international community will never recognize the results of the referendum. some politicians notably senator john mccain has even call to arms supplies to ukraine they are demons behind all this is the alleged russian military pressure exerted on crimea by international affairs expert more samoa from mosque is the university believes that position just doesn't hold water. this of course is completely hypocritical double standard argument. palm the push rod that has been assembled literally. as the iran nie in kiev was under siege by armed ultra nationalist paramilitary and continues to be the one who guarded by them that was done under force of arms of elections in iraq afghanistan libya after us and western invasions that was done under force of arms of her move to governments this was completely peaceful and it is more than obvious to anyone observing it that the crimean people welcome

the presence of self defense forces and other trips that were on hand in order to secure work of the crimea peace and stability there and then allow this vote take place so that this is a completely ridiculous argument. i am already is around the corner you're if you're a natural cooling a look out whether a link and see one of the wealthiest province is a breakaway. new name. the other eye. you tune into them on the news and knew we would use his will

obama is today i saw control is not caused a huge number of civilian casualties there are the most part they've been very precise it's like this. this small body on the ground is a little girl and just next to her. it's a little boy of eight. we did some upper seconds. to which other countries. guess it's only one that i can confirm that we are the property. new name this is the only adventure for us. guess it. does the human eye. when we went straight to bugis to me. it's

like isn't it. there's an accident and six. what's it all wonderful. it's the whole thing is about. watching a t international eastern province of an entity seeking to break away from italy and has a clear that a referendum however roeder has shown no signs of agreeing to suspension and let them take a look at why the region is so significant. downtown is the fifth most populous region in the country with five million people living there bought its main city which is venice is the number one tourist attraction with fourteen million visitors

believe that this referendum is not legitimate and therefore they choose to disregard it as something unimportant there's hardly any news about it. mike of course the idea of a friend and in crying yet again. some believe that if this does indeed happen and that it does become independently stomach to a place in its own right. it'll actually change the face of europe as we see it right now in venice in about a skull eighteen the answer by friday but opinion polls suggest that secession is supported by most locals. the referendum itself carries no legal weight but campaigners say that a yes vote would lay the groundwork for the cannons and one of those behind a movement saying sharon will eventually have to agree the majority of people. local dentists at the school had a deep into tonight's he updated so be elected but it's a referendum to take immediate action i've seen already the threat
