artificial reef which will greatly improve the base ecosystem this is nothing new many countries do the same. zordon says the idea came to him after what was seen as a major policy shift in kiev the presidents of russia and ukraine signed an agreement to prolong the stay of the russian black sea fleet in the crimea until twenty forty two where the previous administration and key of these ships of the russian black sea fleet were unwanted guests in ukraine's crimea and were to leave the area by the year twenty seventeen but after the height of agreement was signed local authorities here are saying they're trying to do everything they can so that these ships remain here for years to come straight after the road to figure out of the pact of russian leader the need to remediate have said the fleet needed serious modernization and now the crimea is ready to help more school with that the head of several stoppers administration says the russian naval presence here brings massive

investment for the city's infrastructure and calls for a fitting of the ships may create jobs for the locals that we have an excellent shipyard in a crimea which has been abandoned for almost two decades. if moscow decides to repair its fleet we're ready to offer our facilities and specialists this would be much cheaper for the russians and we revive our factory which was one of the best in the country just several decades ago april spark of agreement sparked mass opposition protests and they described it as a sellout of the country in crimea the mood is very much the opposite the russian black sea fleet command is year to respond to the divers and officials proposals for an artificial reef but there will be glad to see few here can imagine life without these ships anchored on the surface in several stoppers docks. ski and see reporting from ukraine's crimea. case more news in brief forty three people

parties sitting down with richard hired from arizona who made national headlines in one thousand nine hundred four when he filed a lawsuit against the federal government since then he's been encouraging state law enforcement officials to rise up against federal agents thank you very much for sitting down to speak with me today sheriff mack thanks for having me it's great to be in new york you were a law enforcement for twenty years and you were a sheriff in arizona for eight years and you argue that the sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement official in the united states more powerful

than the president yes explain that well first of all it might be apples and oranges because the sheriff has a different assignment than the president but the bottom line is the president of the united states cannot tell your sheriff what to do the president is not the boss of your elected sheriff and the reason the sheriff has such a powerful position is because he is the only. officer in the united states or in the county that's elected by foreign of the people and all power in america comes from the source we the people. because other tyrants have stolen power and it's not how the run but it's supposed to be how they're running. and james madison said we can safely rely on the disposition of state legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the federal government so the last line of defense in making sure that happens is your county sheriff you sit on the board of a group called oath keepers that is

a group of law enforcement officials and military servicemen and women that you say are now committed to upholding the old thay have taken to defend the constitution that a novel idea we actually keep our word with out there is not amazing but what why why do you believe that that the constitution is being violated well because it is every day i mean if you read the constitution when i was a rookie cop i made a huge mistake i actually read the constitution and specifically the bill of rights and i saw. one hand what the constitution says on the other hand what the government is actually doing i mean you actually said it yourself when you say the things aren't run this way anymore that isn't how things are done in government because we don't follow the constitution yet we have everybody stand up there the

president on january twentieth will take an oath when he is first takes office that he will uphold indy's a preserve the united states constitution and the very next day he commits perjury because he doesn't do it and he's not alone i mean nancy pelosi doesn't keep her roath she doesn't care about the constitution harry reid doesn't care about the constitution why is this all of this uprising being seen when president barack obama and the white house where we're americans and your fellow tea parties and the sheriff's way george w. bush was sitting in the white house for eight years i've been saying this about bush and clinton. i've been saying this the last twenty years how about the rest of the americans that are turning out or all these tea parties ok but the it is a valid question and it's a good question and it's a real. phenomenon that exists and the uprising did start big time with brock obama there's no question that this uprising though was happening during

clinton and bush but not on the level that it was not at the very least you know no question about it no question about it i did speaking tours before this but not at the pace i'm doing it now i mean i'm speaking two or three times a week all across america and i never have any fact that we have a black president no i am not arsene that i have never seen now i've i've been there and i'm sure there are some races racism here in america i have never seen it at any of the fifty or sixty events i've been to the reason and i want you and everybody listening in america to know and understand it's because of barack obama's policies he took the abuse of the bush administration he took the abuse of the clinton administration to the tenth power i'm going to tell you right now for the record i will never take nationalize socialistic brok obamacare ever and if he wants to come and arrest me tell him to come on i'll give you my

address because i'm not taken i don't want to be speaking to him any time soon but it is watching our scene he should get your eyes to his this is one of the best news agencies around this rising tension that is taking place right now between local law enforcement officials and federal officials do you think it's going to get worse no i think it's actually going to get better i think the states just as arizona is doing now with the immigration issue going to put the federal government in its place the federal government has overplayed their hand they have made it very clear they're not going to do their jobs to put. our borders don't you find it the epitome of hypocrisy that the federal government claims that we need to risk lives in afghanistan and iraq because we have a war on terror but they refuse to secure our borders the only solution that we have left is state sovereignty local control the sheriff of this country getting

together with county commissioners county attorneys and standing fighting any rect in the barriers against the encroachments of the national government the federal government that they to enter a mass uprising. it will lead to lawful consideration and lawful adherence to the constitution if we follow the constitution we're going to be fine we're not in trouble marina because we're following the constitution too closely far from we're destroying the constitution and our own federal government is the greatest threat to our god given constitutional american republic if we make sure they stay within their parameters and their limitations then we're going to survive this if if the federal government doesn't stay within their prescribe limitations in the constitution then this is going to be then this is only the beginning thank you very much for sitting down speak with me marina thanks for having me.
