thousand people have already been killed ordinary civilians we just couple of days ago visited this city all of the guns going we saw a very dramatic picture on the ground many have already scaped the town but many are still inside and they're hiding in their basements they're living under constant shelling and they're mostly women children whole or see and this is the situation now in ukraine. proud of photographs one for the rear novice to news agency has reportedly been detained by ukrainian security services the agency says and stand in who disappeared in the east three days ago is being held by the national guard and he was last heard of on on tuesday when he sent photos from the region at first it was thought disruption to communication in the area was the reason he'd gone quiet stand in is well known for working in dangerous

reported in the my done violence the three days of february eighteenth to twentieth became the bloodiest in three months of the stand of more than seventy people were killed both protesters and police a deal to settle the crisis was signed by a local village and opposition leaders the following day but riots continued and a new coverage of flights to kiev fled from kiev now the next day the ukrainian parliament the rod appointed an interim government and president presidential elections was for. may twenty fifth however people on my don we're not going anywhere tents and barricades remain on the square despite several on successful attempts by the new authorities to dismantle them far enough as adam as derrick rose says the current situation is all too familiar actually situations quite ironic to say the least since the revolution seem to be taken this is a good return where the situation is it to start today the same point of exit as

last november when the process took place so right now it seems to me that all the variety of different people who agree people dead wives or a livelihood as far as the overall revolution is concerned are simply realizing that a government they have right now is simply replaced the other and they're simply to a point of exit right now where it seems like nothing much exchange overall plus there's a civil war in east so overall if i can sum it up the whole developments in the ukraine is would a complete disaster and there's really nothing else to show for the grief destruction and mayhem. the food industry on both sides of the atlantic is sounding the alarm the ban russia's place and most imports from western nations fearing billions of dollars in potential losses among the latest reaction a warning of mass layoffs for meat producers in belgium an address to income drop for there is exploiting poultry from the u.s. peta all of us has more. no market for those that back sanctions russia's ban on

the import of certain food stamps from the us canada australia norway and you said response to the economic sanctions imposed on moscow the ban will block meat fruit vegetables some dairy and fish imports for one year those watching international trade say this shows that russia is a different animal to other nations sanctions recently what's striking is that when the sanctions were ramped up against iran there was very little to wrong foot to the west didn't really need much from iran that's not the case with russia and i think russia has made very clear that it will retaliate in a proportionate manner with european culture said to bear the brunt of the import ban e.u. leaders that backed sanctions against russia look likely to face farmers in export is demanding compensation for their losses there's someone there now. it's going to

affect us all it will take two or three months to collect all remaining crops of oranges and we don't know what will happen if no one buys them if there isn't a sufficient market prices will go down and we don't know if we can cover the costs of production because it is so expensive. for european food exports to russia worth over twelve billion euros last year between year and then learned with the first to contact brussels about compensation some estimates suggest the ban could cost the finnish economy four hundred million euro mostly from dairy exports elsewhere but the german trade union that deals with wholesale foreign trade said the ban posed a risk to the economy in his country in greece the opposition party says it accused the current government's actions of being detrimental to farming and in ireland the minister for agriculture said there was real worry particularly regarding cheese eggs. ports which were valued at four point five million euro in twenty thirteen

centers have already started to work. and then feeling the effects already. on the border there is sanctions on on on on already saw that last fifteen years companies must change. direction so you have a plan before. markets have a shot have a. price. for a role much or it. was some nations haven't said that they are ready to. but they know that russia is ready to respond how likely will they continue putting more pressure particularly through sanctions. shank's policies. well the piece very key to continue to show. you.

got to you to your. free trade you cease to be secure. and on that sense i must say that. we are more keen to have a market and just discuss some non political issues of course on that since we are trying to. push here in finland the political decent solution search out be done as soon as bush. is to be found the that's the words from the. director of the international and he says all the central union produces and for us i miss thank you very much for your take on this . president obama has given permission to launch u.s. airstrikes on jihad is to militants of the so-called islamic states that have all coupons north east iraq however he said the strikes would only take place in the event of islam is attack in the kurdish city of erbil where the u.s.

concerns that this is only the tip of the iceberg and that the instability in the country will only keep growing directed our military to take targeted strikes against terrorist convoys should they move toward the city. we intend to stay vigilant and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in the world but are there any other options one of those actually putting together a nato type organization which consisted of jordan turkey egypt saudi arabia you can organize the sunni nations which we've helped train and equip to go take care of this nobody wants isis to be successful even a so me was so you've got to look at this realistically and frankly the american people are tired of war so which steps if any could actually bring more stability to the chaos torn country and how far could any u.s. involvement lead these are sensitive questions after almost a decade of the u.s. presence in iraq which cost over seven hundred fifty billion dollars and the country is now at the point of catastrophe as chaos and six arion violence

continues to rage on and our new york. perviously the u.s. incursion into iraq was a very costly exercise costly both in terms of human life and financially let's take a look at the white house and a whopping one point seven trillion dollars on the whole deal that's a five thousand dollars per second journey in the occupation each american soldier costs three hundred and fifty thousand to deploy and the government will still need to give billions to its veterans in pension payments and to war activism baucus says washington will still need to call even more money into iraq. the cost of the war has not really been added up yet in terms of the damage done in iraq the damage done to me people who died in it from the united states and the actual cost which will be ongoing and hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars will be

added to that in terms of health care in the future and i think people are quite aware of that know what a catastrophe that war was for the people in iraq and also for the people in the united states. parents and bloggers say in the u.s. . a controversial book of promoting gun rights to kids on that other news stories after this break. the stories we cover here you're not going to hear any right other big story after that life and talk there's a reason they don't want you to. know. now let's break the set they just want to keep building allowing saudi arabia qatar and iran to fund millions and millions of pounds worth of the building of mosques in this country where they have them addresses where current we have one

thirteen year old character in the books the parents say when seconds count police are minutes away the book already has its supporters and its haters. why do you think it's because people need to know how to take care of themselves protect themselves and to protect the children in the home if they know how to use it for them are you are you a father very much i have three boys but i don't think that that's good for example . i think that we already have a pretty violent nation as it is so i think that we have nation so that just promotes it in a sense some in social media hit back at gun advocates by changing the book's cover irenaeus site the american academy of pediatrics points to grim statistics fire arms are one of the top three causes of death among children in the u.s. killing twice as many as cancer injuries from fire arms send an estimated seven thousand children to casualty every year and an additional three thousand died from
