a senior lecturer in international relations and security studies at moscow state university believes president poroshenko is peace plan is an ultimatum. peace by definition is negotiated and poor shango has already declared that there will be no negotiation with the political and militant leaders on the ground in the eastern ukraine so this is not a peace plan this is an ultimatum a demand for the unconditional surrender under promise of extermination as well this decentralization is not clearly defined but what we have seen so far is that only includes a local executive committees that governors would still have the right to be overruled and appointed by this declaration of a cease fire is merely a p.r. move by the poor janko regime in the run up it's not a surprise that the declared ceasefire ends on the very day that poroshenko was supposed to sign the e.u.

and maneuverability the pentagon plans to buy nearly twenty five hundred f. thirty five but delays and cost increases have left u.s. lawmakers frustrated over the three hundred eighty five billion dollar price tag and that's where america's allies come in. lockheed martin has turned to international partners including britain australia and canada collectively the countries have invested more than twenty billion dollars buying up the war craft a weapon that many experts view as a global gamble there's never been anything anywhere near as expensive and the entire process is one in which the costs can only go. the other problem is that the more they spend the more the united states in the manufacture and now a whole bunch of other countries become invested more they have to go ahead in any of these countries that want to tell you feel that they have no choice boosting
6:08 am
demand from foreign investors is believed to be essential for the pentagon and lockheed martin why because the more f. thirty five are produced the cheaper each jet is to build and maintain her in a porsche nine. the f. thirty five has been suffering one setback after another in the most recent case the entire fleet was grounded on testing suspended after one of the planes suffered an oil leak but the engines are not the only part where this aircraft is experiencing problems in fact as you can see here the plane has been suffering well documented hotspots on crux head to tail the pentagon well. even prohibited from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm out of fears its fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning now we spoke to an aircraft designer who stays on top of the technical glitches the f. thirty five program is also plagued by red tape it's one of the worst airplanes we've ever designed. for a lot of reasons but the most important reason is that it was compromised by having

to do three different you never make a good airplane if you don't focus on a single drop a single mission and then they made it even worse by saying that we saved money by among three services so now you three missions pulling the airplane in different directions now you have three services three bureaucracies adding their parochial point of view to the airplane it was a complete mess and mind you this is the most expensive single project that the defense department has ever undertaken coming up a little later in the program solving the ugly side of the beautiful game russia is facing a tough task to contain football hooliganism a person to take over world cup hosting duties from brazil but some think the issue has been overblown. stay with us to find out how an online

6:13 am
for the environment it's bad for labor and it's bad for regulations that countries and states have worked for decades to institute so those are some of the biggest concerns and what it says to russia what it says to china with the t.p. is that we don't want you a part of this conversation and in this very globalized interconnected world particularly on trade because we don't have many barriers between us and e.u. already so when we're doing t. tippets not really about removing trade barriers because the tariffs are quite low it's about partnership it's exclusive and you're not going to be a part of it any more news after the break few including a death sentence for over one hundred eighty muslim brotherhood supporters in egypt will be bringing you a live report from cairo. eugenics was huge and it vulgarized darwin science punishment for an uncommitted crying i

a three day military training event that would include the use of various different weapons and lectures about the state of the russian military the stated objective of all of this was to make the average soldiers in the army aware of the patriotic attitudes of those who can order them off to fight in theory this is a good idea but the reality is this kind of reeks that sweet stench of an empty p.r. stunt this is not nearly enough to convince the average grunt that the guys in power care about him as far as i understand it in the military they want to push people to break down their psychology and boot camp so they can make new better tougher more patriotic people and obedient ones as well the sort of cutesy who we can camp will not have any psychological effect these politicians and to be honest i think bureaucrats the world over have it too easy their lives are too comfortable heck all the duma deputies have these nice leather chairs and they have gold watches and assistants and all that stuff i think that if the duma deputies had to suffer through a military health for one month out of the year the corrupt comfort obsessed with. wings might get squeezed out of the system this training for the elite is
