i. i. i i. i. i. think. campaigning on a promise to stop the civil war in the east of the country and reopen dialogue with moscow t.v. star and political newcomer vladimir selenski secure a landslide victory in ukraine's presidential election also the death toll soars in

sri lanka to almost three hundred people after a series of bombs rocked the country's east to celebrations more than twenty people have now been arrested and the king of bahrain takes the citizenship of more than five hundred people after an act cry from human rights defenders however the problematic situation in the country receives little attention from the u.s. a long term ally of washington. hello they're just gone one pay em here in moscow you're watching international. a total political outsider famous for playing a president in a t.v. drama or swap acting for the real thing after winning ukraine's presidential election with most votes now counted linsky has secured a landslide win over the incumbent petro poroshenko earlier our talks on

a boyko the host of artes political talk show well it's a part. clearly the people of ukraine voted for change how much change committee expect do you think this new president well i think political technologists and analysts will be trying to decipher this victory for months if not years to come you said that people voted for change yes i would agree with that but i think it's also difficult to understand what exactly led them to make such a decision i mean the one clear indication would be the polls prior to devote which show that almost half of the ukraine in the electorate sat under no circumstances they would vote for the incumbent. that shows you that he had very very very strong negative speech i suppose of the benefit from because while you listed some of his campaign promises he's usually criticized for being very very alive on substance he

didn't actually make many complain promises and he's in there with you to deliver and while it's still very much on the up and do you think his personality contributed here because people were familiar with the mood there on the television as an actor playing the role of a president you think and he played a very. complimentary role to himself i mean he's playing a role of history teacher who accidentally becomes president fights corruption the fans of ukraine on the international stage stands up to not only its neighbors but also to western partners for example so he has a very attractive role to play bridge he's ability to translate that role into real progress and real change in the lives of the people it's really really big deal and it's one thing to get elected and to get married but to leave alive and deliver on the on the promises you made it's something else entirely trying to decide. as you

used to earlier why people voted the way they did push and. project an image of a. walked on me didn't standing up to russia's president vladimir putin given the last question how much of a factor that played in the election i think it's it's an interesting point to consider and i would just add that it's not only he complained that focused on that his entire policies for the last three or four years focused on standing up to do russian aggression and given that these elections produced the highest margin of victory in the ukraine's. recent history i mean. almost three times as many votes as per cent i think the ukrainian military is getting a little bit tired of that kind of message and that's not nothing surprising because people in every country first and foremost want bread and butter issues economy living standards education health care etc i mean at the end of the

day every country has a different politics but people in all countries want the same things and i think one of the biggest mistakes both technologically from the point of view of political technologists and politically for poroshenko was to stress so much his wartime strong wartime image at the expanse of the promises that he made five years ago fighting corruption increasing living standards delivering dignity to the ukrainian people. all things that people full. shortcomings of his personality and he actually apologized in his. departing speech he apologized for not being able to deliver on all of that i mean i think it's also going to be quite a bit of a challenge for the lansky as well because the ukrainian electorate has a very short political fuse they like president one day they totally dislike him two years later i mean in thirty years that ukraine has been independent they only

elected one president for the second term and i think one of the reasons why selenski is already saying that he is only going to stay for one term because securing the second one would be increasingly difficult and i think maybe he will fill spain if you years down the line. son a boy talking to me there earlier political analyst and director of crisis reach crisis research institute mark armin believes western states are entering a period of uncertainty in their relations with ukraine under its new president well he'll be warmly received but also in a sense warmly in the hope that he's going to turn out to be more a portion called foreign policy than perhaps many of his voters thought it would be so that the west is a little bit worried. and president they were used to a president who cooperate very closely with nato and with european union with the international monetary fund and so on has been humiliated and mr zelinsky is an

unknown quantity so there's a great deal of effort going on now to warm up to him by western diplomats but it certainly reflects the fact we're not really sure what his policy is going to be as indeed nobody's entirely certain even possibly mr sloan school himself is not absolutely certain what he's going to do so far in the sense of victory their new train does join a rapidly growing list of countries but leaders he started their career is far away from politics. i am. i think.

you're fired you're fired rob. ok let's bring you some news just in because officials have stated that easter sunday needs to sunday bomb attacks were carried out with the help of an international network spokesperson has said without outside help these attacks

would not have been successful the death toll from a series of eight explosions has now reached two hundred ninety with up to five hundred others injured churches and hotels across the island were targeted. i. was thinking i need to we heard a loud bang and we fainted that's all i remember we heard a loud explosion and everything collapsed we managed to protect the children but when i came here i found out that my son in law and my son had died.

i wish to express my heartfelt solidarity to christian communities affected one that was oppressed and with all the victims of such cruel foreigner. or sri lanka is a mainly buddhist country with substantial muslim and christian minorities the country's defense minister has said the culprits were religious extremists while the country's prime minister has promised that the people behind the attack will face a stern response was a mark of commemoration with the hundreds that were killed the lights of the eiffel tower in paris were switched off while leaders around the world have been fighting in the condemnation geostrategic analyst jeffrey that says there had been disquiet between religious communities in the lead up to sunday's atrocities. i think there

was a level of uncomfortable or to different communities up to get only our girl there was a social life. during some of the national groups and we should not forget the. the phenomenon of terrorism and violence is not at all good news. it was heat from one thousand nine hundred three. thousand mine vendible to bomb an insurgency particularly you did not east of city link up sitting in government pod that it's all over in two thousand and nine men dig that insurgency and then they alter. the suicide bombing not that is this something again has happened now off the one thousand years but at this particular point point of dying there are new dynamics to be used to detect situation incident got there are other factors like dash dash has been operating everywhere in the board well i think the message is quite good

out who did christian community michnik out on someone posted on a student in fucking mission. the messages to defy them to keep them from diversion places and also the messages to the foreigners who have been doing this to lanka i think it is going to come down hard on this link an economy it is going to be negatively to disturb of and it comes to putting city linka the situation is a posture. us not international are going to take a quick break now and we'll have more nice just off. my. the housing crisis was a result of securitizing mortgages that were resold to dozens of times like goldman sachs was. clients and they were engaged in massive fraud again by timothy

geithner it is friends and now they go of that controlled demolition of the housing market is that all housing is concentrated in a few as like blackstone as a gift from their friends of the central banks and the result is medieval. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic. only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

welcome back now the king of bahrain has reinstated the citizenship of more than five hundred people it follows a wave of condemnation from international human rights groups almost one thousand national is about this instance ship revote since an uprising in the country back in twenty eleven many opposition figures were imprisoned at the time or fled abroad with more his murder gets the. this really is evolution look here if someone's being a nuisance like activists or the opposition a normal dictator would get rid of them but it's messy and everyone complains in bahrain they've come up with a novel way of getting around that it's simple and genius new citizenship new voice the un high commissioner for human rights is deeply concerned that one hundred thirty nine people in bahrain were convicted of terrorism after

a mosque trial which reportedly did not meet without international fair trial standards one hundred thirty eight of these people so all but one had their nationalities revoked standards mandates it works since two thousand and twelve according to the americans for democracy and human rights in bahrain authorities have revoked the citizenships of nine hundred and ninety nationals the third of them just last year among them the move the undesirables the human rights defenders the political activists journalists and so on everyone who can't seem to shut up this verdict demonstrates no through source of weaponized the rb drew a case of citizenship to punish normal average bahrainis. and guess what happens if you complain about it yeah he loses us citizenship or get jailed or

exiled this is win win for the king anyway. so much for everyone outs. they need the glamour of the formula one there is the former senator side to brain revealing the country is a deeply repressive state where anyone critical of the government can be jailed merely for posting a tweet yes but the king is also merciful he takes with one hand but gives with the other his highness's issued orders to reinstate the citizenships of more than five hundred people citizenships so if you were sentenced to life in jail you still work and die in prison but as a citizen how much more mercy do you want understand also this is been a stressful time for the king he and his family really didn't like the arab spring all that commotion and protesting and cools for democracy in common is they really

didn't like it ergo violent clampdown. bahrain was different from the other arab countries oh sure they bashed protests the heads in like everyone else the difference is no one really called for the king to step down france and friends didn't bomb it like they did libya the u.s. didn't fund rebels in the islamists like they did in syria europeans didn't call for regime change like they did in egypt you know why because bahrain is a friend home to the largest u.s. and u.k.

naval bases in the region holding the pre stages title of major non nato ally. these gulf partnerships are critical to achieving shared regional objectives defeating isis countering radical islamic terrorism protecting global energy supplies and rolling back iranian aggression with friends like these who needs human rights bahrain can get away with murder and the west will turn a blind eye and i mean a blind eye they know full well what the king is up to what his henchmen commit what suffering they heap on the people human rights issues included allegations of torture arbitrary detention political prisoners arbitrary or removal interference with privacy restrictions on freedom of expression the press and the internet substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association remarkable well bomb syria over mere ruelas

tweets sanction iran just out the habit at this point threaten then he's aware or interfere meddle in its politics trample its sovereignty because well because but bahrain with its torture abuses farcical courts and a king drunk on power. that is where they draw the line apparently that's just going too far in our strategic approach it is important to acknowledge with a degree of humility that there are some things that are beyond our power to change . well the authorities in bahrain claim the country's security has faced an intense threat and all actions have been aimed at achieving stability the interior minister blames terrorists coordinated with iran iraq and also the hezbollah group in lebanon for undermining peace in the region we spoke to former m.p.

. who came under government pressure himself he believes that bahraini nice won't receive a great amount of international help to restore the human rights. i was part of the first group were their citizenship very welcome to in seventh of november two thousand and twelve and they start with our group and that was. an order from an assessment curio no evidence order and all claims is being given to us political and economical rights you will lose it and you don't have any access to the health care nor to they do cation i describe it like as a social death unfortunately there are those standards and the foreign policy or many western countries mainly u.k. united states it is so much of it practical the police see when they did what their allies when the international community it is especially more rights international

can we did a good thing in all the reports that i was as bad as the type of the humor as well lucia is in bahrain particularly but meanwhile is being backed old telly by these international allies the united kingdom may not states and not only that even they are supporting them internationally and they mention in many of their speeches that bahrain is going on right track bar they are proud to have such as eyes so we see there is no logic behind it. that vietnam is demanding justice from the agro chemical giant monsanto after a series of us court rulings awarded means of dollars in damages to the american victims of herbicides dioxin the highly toxic element of the so-called agent orange have a side machine used widely against vietnam during the war and it's being linked to birth defects councils and also other major health problems.

while in an open last of the vietnam association of victims of agent orange asked the u.s. court to reopen a previously dismissed lawsuit against monsanto association believes the recent us court rulings have set a precedent in santa itself though which is now a part of the pharmaceutical giant buyer admits responsibility for creating agent orange but not for the damage associated with it vietnam is hoping and historical case will add weight to its claims because in one thousand nine hundred four

a class action lawsuit was settled out of court to compensate u.s. soldiers who suffered from agent orange over ten years a total of almost two hundred million dollars in cash payments were distributed working at around three thousand eight hundred dollars per person investigative reporter dave lindorff believes for courts to rule in favor of american soldiers but not for actual victims in vietnam to smack of double standards. the u.s. fought for i think over a decade. vietnam veterans who were getting the same kinds of illnesses that the vietnamese people are getting because they handled it and because it was sprayed on them and finally they won and the government now accepts that fourteen diseases and auto immune elements and cancers are presumptively caused by exposure to agent orange so you know for the u.s.

to do that for its own soldiers and then not do it for the people who were actually the targets of this massoud spring of defoliants is is simply the most incredibly double standard behavior you imagine and there's a lot more vietnamese are suffering from agent orange and then there are american veterans. ok before we go let's recap breaking news this sad because one can officials have stated the easter sunday bomb attacks were carried out with the help of an international network and government spokesperson said that i side help these attacks would not have been successful the death toll from a series of ice explosions has now reached two hundred nineteen with up to five hundred others injured churches and hotels across the island were targeted. so that's life from sri lanka that's how nice looking back again with the headlines and more stories at the top of.
