peaceful protests supporting your integration in ukraine are growing in numbers and it may be a calm before the storm as the country awaits its d.-day war here in vilnius leaving leaders gathered with all eyes on whether there's going to be a last minute u. turn from the ukrainian president over the association agreement with the. also this hour tremors in texas an unusually high number of quakes hits communities there as locals and scientists point a finger at fracking and. mons are finding it increasingly why use all over the world but we are not going to operate them as other countries do it's not a video game we bring you've let him of putin's take own drone warfare as russia pushes ahead with a multi billion dollar campaign to revamp its armed forces. if

you just joined us for a good morning for me kevin oh and just after midnight now this is our top story then the use eastern recruits of convened for this summit now with ukraine's president firmly in the spotlight as he hesitates over sunning up to closer ties with brussels meanwhile pro european demonstrations in kiev are into their fifth day with hundreds of people besieging the parliament building day and night election jeff skis there protests are growing in numbers in kiev right now i would say approximately thirty thousand people are to use independence square in the city center to process the speech so but this may well be a calm before the storm because we've already heard statements coming from some opposition leaders that in case that you know college has not signed the euro station deal on friday in vilnius they were. we'll be taking people into the

streets for a national wide strike and even inside what they describe as a euro revolution indeed this deal this is what it's all about that we had strong assurances from the government from the president that the deal will not be signed still these people here are hoping that the agreement will eventually be reached indeed it's a tricky situation because the korean government explain the move of not willing to sign this deal by economic damages possible economic damages to the country the economy which is already ailing and has one hundred thirty six billion euro a low debt annual debt and modernizing the factories ukrainian factories alone full the e.u. standards would have cost more than one hundred billion euros but in the case of ukrainian politics which is the growly coaster ride and it has always been like that you can never say anything would hundred percent certainty and despite those assurances by the government and the president i mentioned there's still a chance that unocal which may take a u. turn a last minute u. turn you turn and sign these deals michel the couple scott who is now in vilnius

covering the summit will tell you more over to you paul well a year leaders and heads of state have gathered here in vilnius for the two day summit german the german chancellor angela merkel and british prime minister david cameron are amongst the guests attending an informal dinner on thursday evening it's believed they're going to be discussing their next move on how to deal with ukraine decided that this isn't the right time for them to sign that association agreement with the you know of course the summit was meant. polities were completed on that deal last week a decision from kiev surprised many after years of negotiations to get to this point but the ukrainian president viktor yushchenko which says that the terms of the deal aren't agreeable for his country at the moment he says that the six hundred million euros on offer from the e.u. and the i.m.f. to the country to modernize simply is not enough now that is something the president of the european parliament has come close to admitting on today saying that the e.u. may have underestimated the drama of the domestic political situation in ukraine

that the country is economically and above all financially in the deepest crisis for decades and he goes on to say that kiev needs money and a steady gas supply suggesting that's why they're leaning towards russia at this time now another largest stumbling block appears to be the fate of former prime minister and jailed opposition leader yulia tymoshenko she's currently in prison and in need of medical treatment on her back now the e.u. say that that was a precondition that she goes to germany to get treatment all not bad back however that money was blocked by ukraine's parliament now the e.u. offer does remain on the table with president going to college being given until the eleventh hour to change his mind if you choose to do so but with the looking on willing to budge on their stance that prospect looks unlikely. we spoke with little bigger than an aide to the leader of from says national from real a pen he told us it's not surprising that ukraine's reluctant to go ahead with the deal right now they're making interventionism inside the national politics of a train i could totally understand the president of ukraine why you felt humiliated

on this case there mixing up with the international internet all this is difficult questions about you getting mushing to go in there and in a case ukraine should be thinking twice about these offers which were seen as you really ating and which even upsets their russian friends i mean what does the european union have to offer when it is politically i did when it's there was rising unemployment rate rising ukraine is divided into do you have a pro european opinion you have pro russian opinion in this country for months history and its geography is complicated let's not make things even worse. russian embassy in damascus has been hit by a mortar fire a syrian security guard was killed but apparently none of the russian staff that

are believed to be hurt is a middle east correspondent paula sleep with the latest. we know that one syrian has been killed nine people have been injured including syrian security officials as of yet no information that points to any russian citizens having been killed or injured now the russian foreign ministry is calling this a terrorist attack we are also being told that there is in significant damage to the russian embassy building now the attack happened when a bomb exploded in the embassy premises earlier there was a mortar attack by anti government soldiers in the vicinity of where this industry building is the russian foreign ministry has issued a statement and i'm reading from it it says we resent and condemn decisively the attack by militants in central damascus and we consider this as an act of terror. fall asleep it seems to russian diplomats not just being attacked on the ground in

syria but also in the media to this reporting on why the foreign ministry to break the way c.n.n. and interview russia's ambassador to the u.n. . six magnitude earthquake has struck an area of north texas it is the strongest tremor there five years no damage or injuries have been reported but locals upper left emotionally shaken and not everyone's blowing mother nature for it either some scientists now say the drilling and nearby fracking wells is what setting off these quakes the area's been hit by more than a dozen tremors this month alone in fact it's seen more earthquakes since fracking big there in two thousand and eight the during the previous four decades combined one texas resident to be afraid to share his experience with. we had like three hundred one or the two point five. and in that very point. and aren't berman in the house urge again and we did have some damage minor just below

crack and. my wife. and one larry. here appear in being how. very like we're. shaking all over and caving in they were really concerned about it so let's just take a minute to refresh ourselves how this controversial the process of fracking works a well is drilled to see in the unusual to over a thousand meters sometimes underground then into that well high pressure a mix of water sound as well as tons of toxins called fracking fluids a pump that then creates fishes that allow the oil and gas to reach the surface but the crux is the harmful chemicals used for fracking then accumulate in the soil and they result in contamination of ground water and from the water table those toxins also evaporate up and cause air pollution to there's a growing movement to ban the process and it's confronting a powerful energy lobby the key nonetheless to tap into lucrative deposits about

a texan activation wilson a bit early she did used to live near a fracking site until she made the tough decision to abandon her home. at one time i turned my tap on and nothing came out which was very frightening the air was degraded horribly lots of air attacks trott's lie no i was just it completely changed the character the worst concern for me was to end up without water or that my son could end up being sick from the chemicals that he was in exposed to i lost eighty thousand dollars in property value as they expand this practice more and more people are harmed and more and more people join the opposition right now there is an entire neighborhood over five hundred pounds in demand where they are fracking very very close to two hundred fifty feet in some cases from people's backyards where using fracking to extract shale gas is actually

more has this than bow to the gas itself partly that's according to british anti fracking i do steven hole. better alternatives at the disposal of we don't need for whatsoever not only that i mean people such as me that it's a transition feel old that america from the leakage is from all the wells that we've drilled is that there's lots of three to seven out the sense of leakage of the gas into the atmosphere is a lot more polls and green i was chaos the what's c o two is sort of you know there's a test to be said it's actually a more harmful form of energy than burning coal in public stations. drones are not toys that's the message from the russian president to the meeting in sochi devoted to the country's air defense industry the military is going through some major changes at the moment is to say he's got the story. well at the presidential residence the president has had

a very busy day sorry for now he went on to talk a little bit about of the defense and aviation industry particularly about the drones technology let's listen to what he had to say just in the drones are finding an increasingly wide use all over the world but we are not going to operate them as other countries do it's not a video game however it's absolutely clear that on manned systems have a big future russia's armed forces are currently going through something of a transformation in fact if they have begun as modernization program since the soviet era the government says it needs to adapt to face up to new threats this all comes at a major cost of course hundreds of billions of dollars in the process will continue until twenty twenty old hardware is being modernized and new cutting edge weaponry is being born but him home and abroad keeping up with global advances an unmanned military system is a vital part of this revamped drone technology has become highly sophisticated but

is also very controversial with all the hell reports of civilian deaths in u.s. drone strikes in yemen and pakistan all in the name of the war on terror russia is determined not to go down that road although it does want the technology so it's a new phase for russia's military but with some clear boundaries in place the bomb would say sochi are two. coming up the latest on rest in egypt report for you and a lot more to. do you think humanity as a whole would benefit from living some parts of the wall g.m.o. free just to play on the safe side view through biotechnology research through genetic modification we can give those small holder farmers the opportunity

to be able to deal with and survive all of those challenges and i believe they should have all of the tools. the. economic down in the final. days the deal and the rest will be a little bit if we. get

the news network c.n.n. is taking steps to iron out a dispute with russia's foreign ministry over an interview with the country's envoy to the united nations key details apparently were cut from the conversation on the channel now the plans to post the full of its website on his bid a coach never explains what exactly moscow objected to. american news network c.n.n. says that it will publish the entire interview with russia's ambassador to un vitaly churkin on its website now that statement comes after area was revealed that c.n.n. made some really significant cuts to its interview with that it's really again most notably it has commons on the number of people that actually support syrian president bashar now their first question that was added to its concerned role in the terror and periods away should the russian envoy sat should be up to the country's people and no one else and there was also another topic that c.n.n. felt was necessary in the final version of the interview that was all about the

rebels in the conflict it was a valid to be asked for it's on their part to hamper humanitarian aid delivery to the war stricken population earlier russia's un representative of. regret that i have been with the complete interview i did not make the c.n.n. cots and the censor of some of the most important and crucial issues so the resolution of the syrian crisis will go to popular stories online to my cultivating life on other planets may sound like science fiction but a breakthrough could be on the way as we are reporting to come since science is a just only a couple of years away now from sowing the first plant seeds of the surface of the moon when we did more but i don't know if you've heard about day before for this poor welshman he tucked away a four chewed unfortunately he was in the fill site you can find it he lost millions of dollars with a big college because he chucked away the code in the bin that went to said feel

sorry for the snow. for a. right to see. first tree. and i think the tree. in recent years the european union has been enveloping new members but some of the bloke's leaders are not happy with the free movement of people this expansion brings indeed they want to curb migrants rights to housing and welfare were the loudest calls coming from britain france and germany peter all of the reports. well in a little over a month's time on january the first rumanians and bulgarians will have the right to move within the european union and seek employment now we saw david cameron the

british prime minister say he wants to see limits put on the amount of benefits that those type of migrants would be able to receive those calls have been echoed by anglo-american here in germany and france who are land in france and it does seem that there is this movement between this split between the the west in the east in the e.u. those in the west are concerned that there's going to be a huge influx of migrants moving their way now in backing up mr cameron's mr cameron's words we heard from angela merkel saying that my currents that poverty migration was the cause of considerable social problems in certain cities in germany no she didn't mention those cities but it was almost understood that she meant both along the eastern border of germany and the former the former east germany. know what she said is that as she was announcing her coalition government

that she wanted. that would not allow migrants to just move here without a job and sign on for social benefits for housing benefits and the like that they would only be allowed to do so for limited periods of time now all in france the french were alarmed with saying similar things he said that this type of migration was a threat to the social fabric of france and that something must be done to try and curb these type of large scale migration from east to west from those who are not just from east to west but really from the poorer countries in europe to those that . have weathered the storm much better than others those in the high echelons of the european parliament of being concerned by these comments coming out but it hasn't stopped leaders in britain in france and here in germany saying they want restrictions on migrant. peter all of a revolutionary three d. printing technology sparks a gun scare in america after a workable firearm was successfully created nowthen philadelphia's become the first

u.s. city to ban the unlicensed printing of guns report higher looks at how anyone could soon manufacture weapons at home. reds shooting range and asked. gun enthusiasts today the difference is that these men are firing rounds with a do it yourself firearm the world's first three d. printed metal gun we wanted to showcase the abilities of what direct metal can do and what a better way than find something that can withstand a bunch of heat tolerance and accuracy all wrapped into one which in america everybody knows which is a par. eric much later is a project coordinator at solid concepts company specializing in three d. printing young prince or in the arts he was granted an exclusive tour of their austin facility which boasts ten three d.

industrial printers and a glimpse of our technological future these are all the three d. printed parts that went into making this bar after getting a federal firearms license the company used a process called direct metal laser centering to produce this browning nine hundred eleven pistol fix about twenty five to thirty five hours depending on the machine we put it on and what materials were grown in. this three d. printed metal gun has fired over one thousand rounds in the meantime solid concepts has manufactured its second nineteen eleven firearm we plan on making a few more prototypes for additional testing. and we don't we don't plan on going into full production on these we can afford to sell them. at the price of be required to get our money back while the prices of many three d. printers have fallen below one thousand dollars solid concepts insists the

stainless steel firearm they've introduced to the world can't be replicated by hobbyists these machines start at six hundred thousand and go up to a million dollars they need to be in industrial environments they require more electricity than is available in residential areas and they require. inert gases in the chamber that are just not commonly available so it's definitely an industrial commercial type process and it will be years before metal printers become available on the consumer market if at all not exactly the world's first mini metal maker has already been created it prints using precious metal clay and with laser centering patterns set to expire in february it's predicted that metal desktop printers will hit the consumer market before you know it five years from now small this is going to do it maybe five years after that you starts a whole workshops and and you know having one on your desktop at home so that we are going there that technology exists the price will come down. as the world has

learned the convenience of technology has a downside we all love to the internet cell phones e-mail and social media before finding out that our beloved data is being monitored and stored by the n.s.a. . the astonishing capability of three d. metal printers is no longer a secret. so when they become a part of our household tap alongside the microwave and flat screen t.v. thing put people choose to physically in the privacy of their home thanks will be beyond the control the rest are. going up or nyah r.t. texas will cost plus a guns are always cheaper to produce the metal ones the first plastic far almost printed in may so far they've proved too unreliable to use but as marina said in the report metal printers are becoming more affordable potentially than making it possible for ordinary people like us to stop working replicas of proper firearms

one expert in this field told me that there are other dangers a three d. printed guns to. it's a very universal kind of technology that can be used in los a different way some some good some not so good but it is alarming that people have started printing guns i would say the most dangerous thing is let's say a gun that doesn't look like a gun but looks like a flower vase or something else and so there is this ability to make things in any shape and form really defies a lot of the conventional thinking around regulating guns around detecting them and so forth and i think that's sort of it's a whole new world when it comes to controlling these kinds of things. it's national news a brief tonight one student's been killed and several more injured in street violence in the egyptian capital. minutes after a police used force to break a rally outside her university great evolved tear gas and water cannon the

i hate to be a downer but i really think the olympics have lost all meaning in the past when there was the cold war it was like a battle between two ideologies taking place in the abstract and the one nine hundred thirty six olympics nazi pseudo science their self-proclaimed superiority was put on trial for the whole world to see and spent the olympics having the majority of the countries on earth participating they're now horribly horribly bland one could argue that they have become a great way for countries to show off their ex used to build up some infrastructure by think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand lympics and beijing yes china is really develop in the last twenty years but the olympics really teach us anything about this country with a radically different political system or anything about their ancient culture or the way they think or the way they live no nothing at all all we saw were some flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yeah i hate to say it but i think the olympic flame is kind of

burnt out over the years although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind of neat i think that when and if the world ever becomes an ideological battle ground again then the olympics will become worth watching but for now it's just generic sports from generic countries of generic stadiums but that's just my opinion. it was based on they reveal the damien diamond rented out walking in palace in order to entertain his close friend tony blair the dinner took place only days before jamie diamond had agreed to give the us department of justice a very small cut of his ill gotten mortgage fraud gains and oh how the penniless. peasants outside buckingham palace gates rejoiced at the impossibly large number of thirteen billion dollars damien had. all hailed jamie done in.

this immediately though so we leave that maybe. by the same potions to cure the play your part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . hello and welcome to worlds apart millions of people ever on the western world will join hands and if thanksgiving prayer today praising the lord for the food on their table and down throwing about a third of it into the trash can in the meantime millions of others will go to sleep hungry can we ever solve the age old problem of hunger and what is the best

way to do it to discuss that i'm now joined by cannot quinn president of the world what price and a former u.s. ambassador to can void if ambassador quinn it's a great honor to have you on the show well i'm very delighted to be with you and i want to wish you a very happy thanksgiving to all of your viewers thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday in the united states it's one that no matter what your back grown what your ethnicity what your religion is it's something that your nights all americans absolutely and things giving and is associated with food and i believe you said once that the greatest challenge that humanity faces today is whether we'll be able to feed the in nine billion people who are expected to populate this planet by the year two thousand and fifty now some experts would say that absolutely we can so the problem is not so much whether the planet can produce enough food there are some would argue that it already produces enough to feed

everybody but rather how we can distribute this food fairly and so that nobody goes to sleep hungry well i think absolutely right that food distribution is a huge issue and we do right know this year and twenty thirteen produce enough food to feed everyone sustainably and nutritiously and the question is. how do you get it there and you are absolutely right that about a third of the food is lost post-harvest lost and then food that is thrown away. not all consumed and this is a problem and that's why the world food prize was created by dr norman borlaug to find the breakthrough achievements that will deal with all of all of those issues and yet the ambassador queen i think the defocus that you are going to say shame is that making is more on a group called.
