we see the same scenario over and over, they fall to the hands of separatists. separatists or taking control of strategic building sites, local administration buildings and tv towers, police stations. they arrive on the scene usually in a large crowd that will gather in front of the building, and they will start shouting pro-russian slogans and you'll have a smaller, core group of armed men often in military fatigues, often carrying weapons and assault weapons kalashnikovs. they will go about seizing the buildings. we saw the takeover yesterday of one building here in donetsk, a customs building. when we arrived on the scene the military men had just arrived, in their uniforms with no real insignia that would verify them as attached any particular force. they entered the building and within a few minutes you see the employees filing out, and they say everything is calm and normal and under control, and

they will tell you that they are only there to search for weapons. weapons that they fear that the pro-ukrainian ultranationalists are going to come to seize. their version is that they are here simply to take control of the building, in the search for weapons to protect the population they are taking over these strategic sites for control. >> and just who are these separatists? many of these were unknown to residents until recently, and kiev has betrayed them as agents of moscow. >> he enjoys speaking with journalists as long as they ask what he calls the right questions. >> if you don't ask the right things, you will be in trouble. >> one question he does not like is whether he gets orders or assistance from russia. >> i have no contact with moscow.

stop asking i have told you -- stop asking, i have told you this several times. >> but to the authorities in kiev, it is clear that they have -- the russians have sent weapons to him and other separatists in power. like other russian leaders -- pro-russian leaders, he was a member of the soviet army before running a small soap factory. another member is still a member of russian military intelligence according to the european union and ukrainian authorities. he now that she used to live in the shadow but now is openly saying he's behind operations in the separatist provinces of donetsk and luhansk. >> my presence here is a result of the work i did in crimea, and i helped bring about the crimean scenario in the native regions of donetsk and luhansk. >> ukraine separatist leaders

were recently unknown in the provinces that they now control. the new leader of the so-called donetsk people's republic used to be a security guard and sell candy, and work for a company known for ponzi schemes. now his name is on the european union sanctions list. >> the battle for the ukraine is also economic. the international monetary fund approved a $17 billion aid package to prop up the ukrainian economy. this will help kiev pay billions of dollars of debt earned to russia. >> a reprieve for the cash trapped ukraine. this was necessary -- decisive measures were taken by the ukraine, and decisive measures have just been taken i the imf. >> the international body will pay out $17 billion over two years, starting with an immediate 3 billion-dollar first installment.

>> i regret that anybody was killed by our group and i was one of those who brought the conflict to an end. obviously we support those people who have been injured and there is a lot of work that has been done by all of us with the healing process. >> despite acting as the head of the ira's political wing, adams has always denied he was a member, but that did not stop him from becoming the face of militant irish nationalism during the ira's 1980's bombing campaign. three decades of violence between catholic groups like the ira who wanted to unify and ireland and protestant groups ended in 1998. sinn fein says this arrest is publicly motivated but it is not clear about how this will affect the power-sharing government, of which martin mcguinness is the deputy. >> international workers day
