conditions on that particular location on that date finally there's a third group of images which according to ministry of defense show that they have been doctored or altered to digitally obviously played with by the ukrainian side on top of that ukrainians have alleged that they have images which supposedly show the movement of russia's military machinery across the border and now minister of defense says that the quality of images does not really allow it to make that statement first of all they do not have a date stamp or it is impossible to say where and when those images were taken because they don't do not have geographical coordinates on them on top of the image quality is really poor and therefore it is impossible to say whether those tire tracks are indeed from a military vehicle and not for example from something else and of course it is even less impossible to say that those vehicles actually do belong to russia thereby the minister of defense says that all of it is that was presented by ukraine simply

our lives were destroyed we had two options to cry over decisions that were made for us we'll stand up and fight these women staged protests and occasionally block the entrance of the finance ministry demanding the government stop ruining lives with their austerity measures recently these demonstrations turned violent with some of them ended up in the hospital accusing riot police of beating them up. myself in the cinema said by the police didn't want us there and they started pushing us avant with the shields the twisted my arm and they took my friend and stuff and the police car even amnesty international accused local cops of abusing their powers and violating human rights but little has been done to bring those responsible to justice. this policy is part of the austerity measures agreed upon with our lenders our country can house six hundred seventy thousand public servants this will help our private sector which has been battered so many businesses have
10:26 am
shut down and over one million private sector workers were made redundant sooner or later hundreds of thousands will have to depart from the public sector but that will create work for private business. this is where the cleaners are camped out every single day reminding the government that they're not going anywhere and informing the public of what they see as a great injustice the greek supreme court seems to agree with them at one point ordering the finance minister to rehire them only to have that will an awful turn but it's not over yet. these women are prepared to go back to court this september . some experts claim that even if these women manage to get their jobs back they will never enjoy the same salaries or benefits as they did before but at this point the only thing these women care about is reclaiming their rights even if that means spending more months protesting merino call survive reports in from athens forty. and up next serenade talks twitter data mining and surveillance and boom bust.

sometimes i am baffled by the closed little world that a lot of people in the mainstream media must live in they seem shocked and appalled at the fact that around forty percent of the weapons supplied afghanistan have gone missing let's ignore the fact that while americans are going broke the u.s. must rebuild the afghan military and think for just a second what would happen if you sent a lot of weapons into a country in dire economic suffering i'm sure you've heard reports that say that afghan farmers could only make a living off of poppy crops because they just have no other resort so if you throw a bunch of guns and ammo into the hands of people who have the career choices of poppies or starvation yeah that someone might be willing to sell some bullets to get by also we shouldn't forget that every government on earth has people in it working for their old self interests or others' interests it is totally naive to
10:28 am
think that every person involved in the process of transferring weapons will be loyal to the afghan government which seems to have been put in place by a certain hyper power who remain nameless in short if you find this story shocking then you really need to get off the couch and see how the world really works but tasha just my opinion.
