11:18 am
a deal which is to build a step towards normalization of relations with russia which of course is ukraine's by far the largest trading partner so really a deal was in the new ukrainian people's interest and i don't really understand why hasn't gone through what happens now is you know that russia makes the choice and it's not the choice between the you know losing more money or being the bad guy the main thing is to stop losing money now switch off the gas go to a prepaid system in somebody is respected much more than in this starting to do that an automobile. as saw this week the only gas russia is sending through ukrainian pipes is that which has been bought by europe but given past experiences the e.u. is still nervous to remind you in two thousand and six half of your was left without gas in the cold when ukraine began siphoning gas from the pipes and there was another so-called gas war three years later when he grain supplies were reduced

11:21 am
represents the will of the people america claims it's keen for the people to be heard and the no country should interfere with the affairs of another he senator john mccain talking to me in kiev in december need to make it clear. to the russian government anywhere in their food. that interference in the affairs of ukraine is not acceptable to the united states of america or to any other free country in the world ok the message is clear but critics argue the presence of the vice president's son on the board of a prominent gas company the continuing for session of u.s. officials in and out of kiev and the promise of financial and military aid represents its own form of interference which only prolongs the conflict in the country and let us not forget that the western leaders also supported the overthrow of the attic of its government and what they that were so what they supported is
11:22 am
more really instability and i would read so this was a thing their support really means nothing to the internal codd. it's going to continue as we see it so against the backdrop of unrest in the east and continuing talk of sanctions and threats against russia vice president joe biden becomes the latest u.s. official to touch down carefully making sure he doesn't cross the line from support to interference altie. local police forces in america are getting a heavy duty upgrade in the form of military equipment washington says it's using surplus hardware from its overseas wars to bolster security at home but some americans fear their neighborhoods are now turning into war zones of their own right about now i'm has the details. well as america news winding down its longest streak of war soldiers are returning home and so is their military arsenal a used armored vehicle that will be used during swat calls and other emergency

11:24 am
any violence or gresham that's happening but instead the police are showing up and causing violence and aggression people are just afraid all the time and for no reason our country has never been invaded we have no foreign armies at our doorstep however a sheriff in indiana claims his county needs em wraps to protect against possible attacks by veterans returning from home i see a lot of paranoia about that here that i don't like it usually excuse to arm police like their enemy you know like the people of afghanistan that we've got a problem using that as a way to militarize the police for whatever they think might be coming in the future a future where america's local police forces will be prepared for war but who will they be warring against marina r.t. . spain's new king was crowned on thursday philip the six takes over from his father juan carlos the first who was an decayed but not altered and ears are

celebrating there were anti-monarchy protests nationwide even in the center of the capitol where security was heightened for the relatively low key coronation three police officers were injured during clashes in madrid seven activists were arrested but quickly released protest mood has been heightened by years of a sorority and soaring unemployment while the marquis was seen perpetuating a lavish lifestyle and seeing its reputation battered by fraud allegations while watchers say the new king's got a tough job on his hands. one carlists was very charismatic and funny she was close to the people however if you leave the function the reason and this might be a problem for the mortgagees there are too many expect a show him to his going to arrange a number of human crises to come up with problems and his multiple ways to show he's only a king but without to pointed to a role we do not expect. to leave for actually or for any of the boy
11:26 am
family we need to understand that that we as we talk that scots that funk god knows he's a king that has constantly denying that the spot he's just been imposing that's how no no no no we won't and that what majority that said oh yeah he's to vote in the night of november. i don't know and now some other stories from around the world a fifteen year old israeli boy has killed in a syrian mortar attack in the golan heights region in the leavened under israeli occupation the boy was killed when a car carrying civilian contractors working for the israeli defense ministry was hit at least three others including the boy's father were also injured it is unclear whether the attack was carried out by syrian rebels or government forces but israel has responded with tank. shelling into syria. china and greece have signed a business deal worth five billion dollars during the chinese premier's visit to

11:28 am
never found in iraq and the current militants can't shoot a key forty seven over the ocean i don't see how us national security is at risk now or before the iraq war even started but on the other hand the flow of oil from us but tamia well that might be at risk but sometimes i forget that obama is a politician and just a day later he was quoted as saying quite the opposite about the same situation declaring that we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq which sounds great to my ears and do you wait yet another few days and now he is saying that they want to send at least two hundred seventy five troops to provide support and security for u.s. personnel and the us embassy in baghdad i think this orwellian attitude towards the truth comes from two factors one lying works and obama gets away with it and to the fear of looking weak presidents have to act confident like they were total control with an awesome plan even when they have no idea what they're going to do i think this is the case with this iraq issue but that's just my opinion.
