repeated daily across the east fuelling a refugee exodus next artie's read. reports about that. this refugee camp where i'm standing right now just twelve hours ago was about twenty. people running the camp decided to move because it was not safe to be that close to the ukrainian border where the attacks where these stray or intentional shelling from. side actually has been increasing in recent days and for people who are staying in these refugee camps that's just another edition. of the tragedies that have happened to them. uprooted driven out these people have been flooding into. trying to escape the bloody war that has engulfed. this refugee camp is literally just several meters away from the ukrainian border people staying here war is still very much
2:11 pm
a part of daily routine they say recently the artillery fire at night has gotten closer and the memories of the bombardment back at home do not grow any less. but. you know the children may appear to be. happening in their homeland carrying on as usual but once crowded deep emotional scars. just like both people. many of their loved ones behind haven't heard from them for several days.
2:12 pm
you. scott. such refugee camps are simply temporary ports for these people who will have to find new jobs new houses new ways to live not because they didn't like the lives they had but because they were denied those by census fighting it in an r t rostov on don region. i see this is the scene now across the border in the western credit city of to the north pole the mothers and wives of seeing your reservists have been for testing about their loved ones being called up to fight against there is also a similar protests in kiev too where soldiers mothers call the government to let their sons come out many troops in the east of already completed their tour of duty but on the allowed to return because of a lack of new recruits. coming up here not international
2:13 pm
a couple of minutes will tell you whether washington might go it alone and impose unilateral sanctions on russia that the rest of the day's headlines of me. despite all the democracy slogans that reference from the white house things used to seem to believe that deep down the u.s. administration has a sort of cultural bias towards a believing that arabs or iraqis on simply not capable of democracy in the middle east is that it's been the site for multiple competitions by great powers and empires no real ability to consolidate legitimate missions states except under military dictatorships i think if these parts of the world were left alone a little bit more by the rest of us it's possible that we might see more successful democratic experiment.
2:14 pm
so you put all the bankers into the circular firing squad put all the bankers the jamie diamond the lloyd blankfein the bob diamond put them into a circular firing squad and give them all ball and let's get rid of all the laws we've got it the system of this cancer of the mariel dregs of the world. the u.s. could be lining up unilateral sanctions against russia washington's thought to be considering the move because of europe's hesitation in backing the restrictions going to go the latest. the u.s. is trying to isolate russia economically by working to get europe to agree on six toral sanctions against russia but here the u.s. may be facing the risk of isolating itself as european leaders meet to discuss this word is that at least nine european countries are prepared to block six toral
2:15 pm
sanctions including germany france and austria one source said they might agree on a modest expansion of sanctions but are definitely not prepared to cut their multibillion dollar partnership and trade with russia thousands of european companies are doing business with russia the jobs of hundreds of thousands of people could be on the line the decision on sanctions would have to be unanimous to pass and that kind of unanimity seems unlikely u.s. officials know this of course and yet the obama administration says they're considering unilateral sanctions against russia that is to increase pressure on europe first of all we don't know exactly what unilateral sanctions the u.s. is considering but there may be several al to come save the sanctions or unilateral and europe does not goal all along then they put u.s. businesses that are disadvantaged because many of the services and acknowledges that u.s. companies sell european companies have and felt this way the u.s.
2:16 pm
isolates itself from a lot of business that could be done but if the u.s. exerts enough pressure on europe to go ahead with strong sanctions against russia then u.s. businesses get a competitive advantage especially u.s. energy companies so this could be more about business than we think a washington correspondent there. moscow is marking a day of mourning after the worst accident have taken place on the city's metro system twenty three died after a train derailed at high speed on tuesday around one hundred forty remain in hospital still dozens are in intensive care this is how the tragedy unfolded that train traveling along one of the lines in the west of the capital of almost reached his top speed then suddenly the emergency brakes activated and the first three carriages piled up one on another blocking the tunnel it happened two hundred meters from the next stop medics rushed to the scene of course broken bones severe head wounds or sorts of things great and when they first got there the emergency
2:17 pm
services set to work pulling out those trapped eighty meters below ground in the mangled carriages real best volunteers did their best to help carry the injured out above ground helicopters and dozens of ambulances took people to hospital for several hours nonstop and resenting witnessed the tragedy when you can see a thing you know i was thrown into the air there was blood on the floor heads some people had broken ribs and one pulls. all in all the people were hysterical we started to get out we saw during the tunnel even the men eventually broke that door and you saw workers constructing a parallel time they helped us to get out or to metro employees have been detained in connection with the crash investigators suspect their negligence may have led to the disaster now as we've mentioned this was the worst underground accident in moscow metro's near eighty year history in two thousand and five other incidents have a happy let's look back at that in two thousand and five more than fifty stations
2:18 pm

2:19 pm
i think. hello again thanks for being with us let's go back now to one of our stories that we were covering earlier on we told you bring your guest on it and show we can we're talking about the protests that have been happening about the israeli the israeli gaza conflict there's been protests outside the b.b.c. there's been complaints in london from protesters that the b.b.c. is biased let's talk to some news bin company get that about that ad men who say
2:20 pm
these are human rights activists fire them thanks for being with us there what is your complaint specifically about the b.b.c. that let's face it puts itself forward as a bastion of impartiality and fairness what's the problem. now our problem is is that the british public have a right to have a fair and open platform with the b.b.c. relation to the coverage amongst work with nationwide. coverage throughout the whole world the problem that we've got with the b.b.c. is that three teenagers in israel were killed martha media coverage that was given at the time and this isn't only just within the last few weeks this is been happening for the last you know thirty thirty years forty years however long i can remember it but the b.b.c. have gone out there they've raided the death of three is really teenagers out there you know it's a big story but as soon as the palestinian kid is killed you know when in the last few weeks we haven't heard about them seven palestinian kids or have been killed
2:21 pm
and this is our complaint to the b.b.c. and we ask for fair and unbiased platform we asked for the story to be told as it is this is our complaint to all of the b.b.c.'s in the b.b.c.'s defense out in the world where the b.b.c. says it's also received complaints indeed that it's being too pro palestinian that's what the b.b.c. says it's going no reason to lie about that should may be you standing back here and taking a broader view of it maybe you just focusing on not enough reports from the b.b.c. just putting it to you absolutely not absolutely not and the b.b.c. expected six hundred people to turn our site for a protest outside media city in salford keys we got all the five thousand people protesting against the b.b.c. how we got it wrong i think not five thousand people know what they're on a ban and you know it's it's it's obvious it's clear that biasness. is really missing a lot of very amusing how she on the b.b.c. got to gain by doing that one thing. i think that's a question for the b.b.c.
2:22 pm
you know it's and we've never had any answers to any of our letters we've been outside the b.b.c. we've been protesting but we haven't had any answers whatsoever although we've realised is yes palestine house started get a bit more media coverage but the answers are still not there and the question is will we ever get any answers the truth is we will never get there months or years interesting fact spinning a program out into showing the human rights. so that we got to leave it there but thank you for coming on and telling us about your thoughts and what you're doing at the moment appreciate it. thank you right thank you now spying obviously a devious business but there is a code of honor or so we thought british intelligence has now been revealed to have a range of tricks and tools have been sleeve that would make apparently even james bond q. blush and all the maimed cyber snooping maybe no surprise there for example when it comes to social networking they can look at the private photos and if they don't i want to see they can disable your facebook account right what about chatting with

2:26 pm
everybody is under surveillance syria's president bashar al assad's been sworn in for a new seven year term after his landslide election victory which is acute almost ninety percent of the vote the ballot went ahead despite the civil war that's continued the country apart and which has killed over one hundred sixty thousand but syrian political activist and a worker told me he believes the situation in syria will now improve. he started already stabilizing the situation so to speak stabilizing the country it's going to be a long process whereby you know the recourses actions that are taking place and the syrian army progressing slowly there is a change so to speak that we can notice now in the international community take into consideration what's happening in iraq and the imminent threat of the jihadists that is growing by the day so i think he feels that he can take a breath now and start focusing on stabilizing the country slowly hopefully virtual
