4:03 am
is really complicated to count victims and one of the reasons behind that is because fighting is going to go into that we hear from the u.n. human rights watchdog that up to seventy people are killed or injured every day in eastern ukraine many have all defragged the cities and this area and actually the country but those who still remain there how i have been there every day struggle to survive still for little it's still. just still if over list. was a lot of our. stuff we're told. lugansk remains another epicenter wilkie of calls it's anti terror curation in eastern ukraine severe clashes erupted on the roads connecting lugansk andone as can these
4:04 am
two large cities and this is key of strategy to separate and to government fighters from these two big cities and also we see clashes on the roads leading from lugansk to the russian front here we are now at the russian ukrainian border and we used to cross into ukraine and to go to the guns to cover this situation on the ground has really hard situation from humanitarian point of view as well and of course from a security point of view but recently we cannot do it because it became a very dangerous. well there's still a wall of silence from kiev over the whereabouts of missing russian journalist on the stand and that's despite global calls for his safe release from the un the e.u. and rights groups andres a renowned photographer who's been covering conflicts all over the world the hash tag three andre has since been trending on social networks he's been missing for ten days and so far have been only mixed signals about where he may be first denied

in support passing by and crowds chanting people holding signs candles i walking around on wednesday night last night we saw the most of violent clashes thus far. police in riot gear had used tear gas and rubber bullets i tear gas was going off right next to journalists several crews that were affected by this we ourselves had a blast go off just steps from where we were standing on so really tonight it seems to have changed even though it's extremely loud and people still continue to come out on the streets and intend to keep doing so the violence seems to have died down for now now importantly that in other cities throughout the united states such as new york philadelphia boston los angeles people have also been coming out onto the streets this thursday to ah us supports the cause of demanding answers and justice when it comes to the death of this on armed teenager that has really sparked waves
4:07 am
of outrage throughout the united states. well the depth of feeling of a michael brown's killing is being felt by on the streets and online let's have a look at how it is trending now this heat map showing just how the house talk fungus and spread across twitter i didn't take long for the subject to engulf the u.s. before spreading across the atlantic to europe as well political columnist ted roll believes that until the police stop acting as an occupying force people that will not subside it's not the first time this is happened you know this is a situation that repeats itself in all sorts of african-american communities across the united states that are policed as though they were occupied territory by highly militarized i would say u.s. troops but local police who are equipped as though they were occupying afghanistan or iraq so you know that there is no connection whatsoever but just hostility
4:08 am
between the communities that are being policed and the police that are supposed to be serving them that's the big issue that's the big problem and i don't see how the president in his investigation over this one incident would be able to make much headway there ahead for you pulling the plug on investigative journalism when reporting the u.s. government's pursuit of a new york times journalist a given name his whistle blowing source and testify against him. on the extreme brand how a group of nazi supporters in germany is striving to improve their public image. on america and the financial world. to goldman stocks that eventually take you know demand you're not going to get any economic benefit in life there are. we

now in the last few weeks you may have seen some pretty pessimistic headlines in western media for example russian sanctions could take an economic toll on europe eurozone recovery hopes are made russian sanctions and sanctions against russia will hurt european economies just among them or referring to the economic hit they face is caused by the political bickering with russia or some nations more keen on keeping the business wheels turning finland's president putin later in southern russia to talk ongoing cooperation on trade as well as the situation in ukraine as more. this is the first time that president putin is meeting with any of the european union leaders since the e.u. introduced a lot of set of sanctions targeting the whole sectors of the russian economy and
4:12 am
since moscow introduced food import restrictions which affect a lot of european foods and we know that finland was hit pretty hard finnish officials have been saying that they're not ready to take part in any further anti russian sanctions but the european union was hit by moscow's restrictions pretty hard in general take a look at the graphic that we've prepared for you because of the restrictions introduced by president putin on all countries which have been taking part in a russian sanctions the european union alone is expected to lose up to seven billion dollars but more specifically the worst member states hit or the netherlands which is expected to lose up to two billion dollars to lithuania around one point two billion poor and around one billion and germany around seven hundred ninety five million and many european farmers are now calling on european union officials for compensation but the thing is the use specially designated fun for that is only around four hundred million euros which is obviously not enough. so
4:13 am
i don't know what we're going to do of this continues the crops in the region are a threat i have people who work for me on monday morning i told them to stay home i don't know what i'm going to do. since leaving. this it is so difficult because production is a major loss we can make up for it and we won't receive compensation from the bulgarian government from the european union. but it is the ban on impulse to go. for sure we have to stop our production its revenues will not be enough to cover the costs of things like logistics but there has been a danish report published on the issue is saying that the effects from moscow's restrictions on the e.u. is so strong that european officials may actually cancel the empty russian sanctions in the next two to three months so to wrap it up there are definitely things for the two leaders to talk about here in russia. now press freedom is in

4:16 am
light on his. persecution. we think people like james rising of the new york times should be put on a pedestal. and the people in this department of justice building think he should be put in prison we can't get the story unless people who know the story. can talk to us without fear of. retaliation the obama administration has already prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined and the view that many people share here is that if the government is indeed successful in forcing the journey. to testify against his alleged thoughts it would be a major blow to investigative journalism in the west in washington i'm going to check on our tea. party they used to be on the fringes of british politics is hitting the donations jackpots the deep a year a skeptic u.k. independence party has managed to raise more money than the junior government the liberal democrats dot com has got the story. we've got used to exploring cities
