and it's about russia displaying to the european union that it has friends within the european union. there are likely to be deals made here as you said in your lead in there. we may get something coming out of this like a selected exemption for the blanket embargo that russia impressed on european fresh fruit and veg and other produce. greece may have an exemption. and we may have a gas deal. the big question in the european union is what greece will offer russia in return. >> rory challands live in moscow for us >>> hundreds of young polish men and women are kinding up to join parr military groups. the rise in recruitment is driven by conflict in eastern ukraine with polls considering russia a dlat. tim has the report from warsaw. >> deep in the woods, a weekend hobby has taken on new significance. played with model weapons, but the sound of real gunfire. the weekend hobby taking on a new significance. 4 hours drive away is the ukraine border. a country in real conflict. poland's part-time militia say no one can be certain of moscow's intentions. >> we want to be prepared. we

here's the high representative of the european union. ] the european union representative and the foreignblican of iran together with the foreign ministers of china, france germany, russian federation the united kingdom and the united states from 26 march and 7 april 2015 in switzerland. [ inaudible ] -- met from 26 march to second april 2015 in switzerland. as agreed in november 2013 we gather here to find solutions towards reaching a comprehensive resolution that will ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of the iranian nuclear program and the comprehensive lifting of all sanctions. today, we have taken a decisive step. we have reached solutions on key parameters of a joint comprehensive plan of action. the political determination, the good will and the hard work of all parties made it possible. and let us thank all delegations for their tireless dedication. this is a crucial decision laying the agreed basis for the final text of the joint comprehensive plan of action. we can now restart drafting the text and annexes of the joint comprehensive plan of action guided by the solutions dev

finally finally give the idea of a new sense of urgency, a new sense of political will from the european union side to tackle the issue of migration and to the trafficking and smuggling of people across the mediterranean. i would say that today we have a new european level of awareness that this is an european issue not of single-member states, and we need to act to act fast, and to act united. this is not just a call from some but a response from all. as after paris attacks in january we developed as european union a truly european sense of urgency and solidarity to come to terrorists. i think today we are developing a truly european sense of urgency and sol solidarity in fighting human trafficking and saving lives. and let me add on a personal note finally so, we have worked today as foreign ministers interior ministers institutions all together, all coordinated on different levels of european action. first, we discussed and tackled our tools to address the root causes of this tragedies. the reason why people leave their own country and choose to pay money sometimes to pay with their lives t

it probably wants a show the european union that it happens friends outside the european union, options outside the european union and russia would like the show the european union that it has friends within the union. both have something to anyone the european union has a great deal to lose. >> is it scenario likely what you were talking about that this might make europe nervous? >> well it's plausible. actually it's possible. but there are other scenarios that are probably more likely than what the european union would consider its nightmare scenario. for australian thing greece wants to handle its financial problems within the european union, it recalled out direct aid from russia we'll have to see if that an honest pledge. you have to ask whether russia is in a good position to bail greece out. russia has its own problems that it is trying to deal with at the moment. neither is likely to walk away empty-handed. we are probably more likely to see something along the lines of russia exempting greece from the blanket embargo that it puts on european fresh fruit and produce. maybe greec

european union is a large international organization, so i think when i can not speak for the spire europeanhere are other financial instruments available from the european union however from front we can assist by organizing an operation in assisting the italian authorities and that's what we are doing. >> final question with regard to what is happening now that it has been scaled pack, do you think it was a better system that was in place before then is in place now. >> well, first of all operation try tan is not a replacement of operation it was a national operation, it was a humanitarian operation. >> which worked better? they are different operations we have a different mandate we are -- i don't think you can say that in this manner. >> italy's anti-immigration parties are dend maaing an immediate end to the arrival of the immigrants. but also wants to target people who have already made it to the italian mainland. phil lavell spoke to one league member in rome. >> your party has spoken about going to the refugees are these people will be placed and saying we don't want you here that se

it is directed at the european union. we will see whether the european union can decide what's important for itself. laila: in the past couple of days, kiev has launched its own high-profile war on corruption. can president poroshenko shake off the mighty oligarchs' influcenence in his country? -- influence in his country? is this anticorruption sweep a sign of how far ukraine has come? >> the biggest problem in ukraine is the rule of law. when russia invades ukraine, that in effect is a counterrevolution. what ukrainians wanted a year ago and they demonstrated was the rule of law. when russia invades, then ukraine has to respond with what it's got, and it's got oligarchy. that hinders the attempt to bring the people who control the ukrainan economy under the rule of law. what we are seeing now is a test of whether the poroshenko government is establishing its own vertical power or whether the poroshenko government is going to try to bring other oligarchs under their control. if they can, in the long term, they are going

overseas are able to fly the european union emblem alongside the union flag where there is a case forso in terms of the local environment, local traditions, local culture, or where we are, for example, sharing an embassy compound with another eu member state. but ambassadors or heads of mission have to make a business case for flying that eu emblem. >> last question. briefly, please. >> that is surely not consistent with your previous answer, foreign secretary. but on the day her majesty is here for the commonwealth service at westminster abbey, surely we should now make it a tradition that the foreign commonwealth office flies the flag. would you make that change before the general election? would you consider doing that? >> no. we've made a decision about flag flying for this year, and we will look again at the end of the year as we always do, for flag flying rules in 2016. but i know that a number of people are disappointed that the commonwealth flag wasn't flying. but if we were to fly the commonwealth flag on commonwealth day, i can promise you we will be inundated with requests

they should be part of the european union. as members of the eu what can we do to control immigration. let me tell you. nothing. nothing. the prime minister can talk about benefits. this isn't about benefits. this is about numbers. we have a total open door to ten former communist countries and to the euro zone where people are suffering very badly. i don't blame a single immigrant that comes here wanting to better their lot. it's depressed wages. we have to build a new house, one house every seven minutes just to cope with current level of immigration. we need to change the relationship with europe. one of trade and friendship. take back control of our borders and put in place an australian style point system and 77% of british people want something down. >> nigel farage thank you. nick clegg. >> i will never spread fear about immigration because i think we just need to remember there's basically good immigration and there's bad immigration. in a bad immigration of course that needs to be stopped. that's why i've introduced n

a gargantuan problem beyond the purview of the european union. these are issues i think, have really stumped world leaders, european leaders, trying to change this situation. it seems almost unresolvable at this point. rosemary. >> so many challenges ahead there. ben wedeman talking to us from augusta, sicily. you are looking at live pictures there of the 400 plus rescued migrants arriving in sisly. thenn -- arriving in sicily taking them on land. not enough resources on the ground. european need to tackle along with its european partners. we'll keep an eye on this story. >> people arrive in italy. they don't want to sta in italy, the welfare system is not very good. they want to got to germany, france, or britain. >> not just italy's problem. >> much better welfare system. get more assistance. so -- it is everyone's problem. okay. we'll take a short break. when we come back, saudi arabia announced an end to the bombing campaign in yemen. did it really acome policomplis goals? we'll talk about that after the break. >>> as you come back to us, we a

. >> i want to assure you that we are not going to use any kind of situations within the european union in order to bit by bit resolve the issue of improving relations with the european block as a whole. >> this could meet loans for greece in exchange for economic cooperation. vladimir putin is keen on shoring up bilateral trade which is fallen 40%. they also discussed extending the turkish pipeline project into greece, a move that could turn athens into a major european energy hog. -- energy hug. tsipras said it is eager european problem that needs it european solution. >> i can say that today is an important day for russian and greek relations. >> as the new friendship is forged, it's unclear what it means for greece and the eu. tsipras said this trip to russia won't be his last. brian: what do the talks hold for both greece and the eu and russia as well? our correspondents, marcus let's start with you. you were following the talks today. what kind of economic cooperation what is he prepared to give the greeks? marcus: we heard it before in your report, russia's economy is not ready t

ukraine is not a nebraska of the european union. this is a dispute between european union and gazprom. but of course ukraine is deeply involved in all of this. russia is involved in ukraine. the e.u. is involved in ukraine. there is a lot of exacerbation. we'll see. >> thank you rory challands in moscow. >>> the u.s. says that missiles will be used to protect europe but russia calls the program a threat to moscow. the move comes just days after russia threatened poland over its involvement in a larger american missiles program. >>> well the senate could vote as soon as tomorrow whether to approve loretta lynch as the next attorney general. that vote has been delayed. the republicans held up the the vote because of legislation of human trafficking. >>> the repatriate act would authorize controversial provisions for another five years including the nsa's domestic surveillance authority. >>> well there are two new studies out adding fuel to the debate over fracking. researchers say they have linked the drilling method to a series of sm

now the european union has access at an emergency summit in brussels. funding has been tripled for search and rescue operations. they'll now have $9.7 million a month and that's roughly the same budget as italy's which was scrapped last year at funding was withdrawn because they thought it was encouraging migration. other nations may also contribute vessels and helicopters to help with the rescue effort. let's go now live to lawrence lee. have they done enough to silence the critics do you think? >>reporter: no, they haven't. i think the eu will in some ways reasonably be able to say tonight that they have fulfilled their primary purpose of this meeting which was to try to stop as many people to committing individual ships with a bigger range to try to rescue people. no doubt these things will have the effects of limiting the number of people dieing in the mediterranean. but refugee groups the united nations, these people will say these things are no sort of substitute for a proper humanitarian commitment from the european union to helping those at risk

the european union's border control started their own program.hey only have one or two boats and a couple of airplanes looking for migrants. they are not a search and rescue mission, they are border control mission and they tend to use the italian coast guard, as well, and tend to call merchant ships which is a changing dynamic in the rescue operation. it has been a 40% increase in merchant ships. these might be cargo ships, oil ships or, you know, any of vessel that is privately owned that are called to rescue these migrants. of course these boats don't have -- these merchant ships don't have facilities, food and water for as many as 200 to 300 migrants they are picking up. it is causing a real problem. we had a situation in which there were several burn victims that came out of libya that had been involved in an accident before they left. picked up, the merchant ship couldn't handle them and they had to call the coast guard and had a serious emergency situation. as many and more of these people come and resources are stretched, you are going to

when new powers are given up to the european union. and i will, by the way -- again shock, horror. always argue that we must remain part of the european union. i think as we quit we've book poorer. unemployment goes up and investment goes down. [ applause ] >> the logic of what you say in view of what david cameron said earlier on this program is you can't go into coalition with him because you will only allow a referendum if powers are given to the european union. he wants to repatriate some hours and then have a referendum. >> you should have taken the opportunity when david cameron was here to ask him about the conservative position. >> you should explain it. you heard him. you were listening in the back room. >> conservatives say they want to renegotiate but -- >> sometimes they say 2016. sometimes they say they're going to leave the european union if they don't get what they want. sometimes they say they'll stay. i don't know what they're going to think on your next tuesday let alone on may the 8th. i think there should be a refer

the european union is taking a big gamble in doing this. as. well knows russia's main export is fossil fuels and if go after the companies that are responsible for those exports then in effect you're going after the russian state itself. >> that was roy challands reporting there. now corruption charges, hundreds rallied against what they say is a witch-hunt aimed at the former leadership. the economic development minister during his brother's presidency. he's accused of financial irregularities in a poverty alleveiation program run by his brother's presidency. >>> protesters in hong kong say that beijing-backed proposals will not allow for free elections. >> it has deeply divided people of hong kong. it shut down parts of the city including here in the financial district. now today those protesters returned for another round of demonstrations. security was forced to step in, and central to the government's plan is ruling out free election in 2017 instead allowing for china or the national people's congress to vet those candidates. the executive

it is really going to test the unity of the european union.hris: ok, we're going to move to the middle east next. an arms deal between the friends and lebanon. florence: absolutely, that stories on the front page of "l'orient le jour," a lebanese paper. a 3 billion dollar deal funded by saudi arabia, on the front page, you can see a photo of that ceremony in beirut attended by the defense minister from france. his lebanese counterpart, you can see they are in the middle of the saudi investor to lebanon. they are going to take on the jihadist threat. you can see the headline here saying this is the beginning of a long, strategic corporation. lots of state papers are focusing on a steel saying it could perhaps shift the balance in the region. chris: ok, let's end on a lighter note. running a marathon is already a big task, particularly the case of one person in boston. florence: that is right, the boston marathon held yesterday. a 35-year-old woman, amy keal ran the boston marathon while seven months pregnant. the articles in the "daily beast ."

the european union is now under pressure to act. the call for europe to do more to save lives of migrants at sea is growing louder. brent: we will get the latest from luxembourg, where eu four and interior ministers are holding crisis talks -- where eu foreign and interior ministers are holding crisis talks. in luxembourg -- reporter: in luxembourg, a moment of silence for the latest victims. >> today, i think we gave a strong reaction from the european union side. today, we have a new european level of awareness that this is a european issue not of single member states. reporter: at the center of the criticism is europe's triton program, which has patrolled the border of to 55 kilometers off the italian coast. it focuses more on border security than on rescue missions , but that could soon change. the eu is considering doubling funding for the tri-town -- triton sea patrol. >> the people in these situations often attempt the trip in boats or ships that are unfit to across the mediterranean. with that in mind, we must urgently impro

they all agree that they should be part of the european union.members of the eu, what can we do to control immigration? nothing. ed miliband can talk about benefits, the prime minister can talk about benefits. this is about numbers. we have a former -- a total open-door to 10 former communist countries and to the eurozone. i don't blame a single migrant who comes to britain from eastern europe. it has led to such a crisis in housing. we have to build a new house every seven minutes just to cope with current levels of immigration. we have to change our relationship with europe to one of trade and friendship, take back control of our borders, and put in place and is -- an australian style points system. clegg: i would never spread fear about immigration because we have to remember that there is good immigration and bad immigration. obviously bad immigration has to be stopped. i have put in new checks at the borders and put in penalties of unscrupulous employers. there is also good immigration. we should remain a decent, generous hearted nation who

time to do something and to involve everybody within the european union. instead, a tragedy is unfolding in the mediterranean. and if the european union and the world close their eyes, they'll be judged in the harshest terms as in the past. when it goes inside when et did nothing. >> carl updating us there from malta >>> president zuma vowed to end violence against migrants. it is against south african values. he cancelled a state visit to indonesia to deal with a wave of attacks in the past week. police fired rubber-coated steel bullets at anti-immigrant protesters of dozens of shops were looted and torched. charles stratford reports. >> reporter: this man came to inspect what is left of his shop. he came to south africa six years ago to earn money for his family in ethiopia. >> they take everything, money. it's tough. yes. lost it. >> he says his shop was attacked by people who accused migrant workers of taking their jobs. they stole everything he has, including all his savings. >> i don't know, these people is coming. they take the stuff, and in the fri

i don't think our places out of the european union. i think that would be a disaster for jobs, for families and businesses. let's change europe so that it works better for us, including immigration. mr. clegg: as far as immigration and the eu, i would say, it should never be the same as the freedom to claim. the freedom to claim benefits on the first day you arrive. we need that is something we to split those two off. that is something we have done. it is a two way street. there are almost as many britons living elsewhere then there are europeans working here. if you want to make sure our own youngsters get the jobs that other people from europe get we , have to train them. one of the things i am most proud of over the last five years as we have 2 million people starting apprenticeships. over half of those are women. we need to train our own youngsters so did they get the jobs they apply for at home. prime minister cameron: there are three sides to this coin. you have to have an education system that turns out young people that can do

reasons why the european union should be worried. the question is what can greece offer to russia. >> that remains to be seen. thank you so much. >> in ecuador exporting roses to russia used to be a blossoming industry. with falling oil price and sinkle ruble many recognitions can't afford the flowers leaving the market on the brink of collapse. we have a report from the southeastern city. >> ecuador's central high lands and paulina walks down row after row of roses. how long do the roses last after being cut? how long are their stems? does their bud flower in the classic style favored by her customers in moscow? the plantation owners are paying close attention. the russian market for ecuadoren roses has practically collapsed. rosing from ecuador are prized in russia, but the drop in global oil price and fall of the value of the ruble have made roses almost unattainable luxuries. >> there was a very dramatic effect on the rose industry. the owners of this farm had to destroy 12% of their plantations because russian buyers were no lon

. >> first of all its important that the european union recognize that their shared responsibility to rescue people in the mediterranean and that means also to allocate appropriate resources to increase that capacity. it is also important for example, the syrians were the same groups that departed from situation of conflict to come to europe for a better future, and to find peace. it is also good to find programs programs. it is equally important to better reflect on strategic policies on the country's countries, to ensure that the political solution response there. otherwise, of course, people could only attempt to depart, to find a better future in europe as well. >> saudi arabia said that the offensive that it is leading in yemen has capabilities. there are been airstrikes in aden where houthies have been carrying out attacks on civilian areas. the arming the militias has helped to curve curb the the activity. >> air raids have been carry you had out in attacks in roads leading to the city. they've been targeted in aden, so they can't go deep in the city. we've dropped weapons thes

hello, the european union's foreign policy chief says an emergency summit this week will consider a tenoint plan to deal with the crisis in the mediterranean where as many as 950 migrants are feared to have died in the last few days. ships have been responding to distress calls from two more boats carrying around 400 people. we'll have more on the uplan in aeu planin a minute but first paul brennan has more from catania the sicilian city. >> migrants leaving north africa for tajt italian waters, this child was saved three people are already confirmed dead, including another youngster it's not known how many are still missing. on malta bodies from saturday night's drowning catastrophe are being brought ashore. just 24 corpse ves courses have been course corpse 24 corpses have been recovered. survivors are on their way to the sicilian port of catania. this is a deadly period for migrants trying to cross into europe. some 11,000 people have been rescued in the past ten days. the capacity with which the italians regard these migrants, with this memorial is a monument for those who don't mak

this is not a huge task for the european union. finally, something that can be done and should be done is to help the countries where most refugees are. lebanon, turkey. these countries at the moment host millions of refugees, and should be helped. >> thank you very much for sharing your experience with us and details on the latest tragedy. >> scientists warn that the growing use of antibiotics and farming could increase the instance of super bugs. the use is scoring in the developing world, including kenya, where demand more meat is high. >> reporter: business is booming for daniel. his chicken farm near kenya's capital nairobi. key to his success is antibiotics. he puts it in the drinking water. the bacteria is tough and resistant. so he changes to another drug. >> there are times that that disease, you give the treatment but maybe 60% of the birds have not been cured. you have to change the treatment up use. because it's not effective. >> reporter: just a few kilometres away in the city, it's takeaways like this where the chicke

now the european union is taking a big gamble in doing this.s it well knows russia's main export is fossil fuels and if you go after the companies that are responsible for those experts then in effect you're going after the russian state itself. >> russian opposition parties have formed a coalition to if field candidates in regional elections later this year. they have pledged to contest next year's parliamentary elections, too with the party of progress working with the party. he says there are barriers to overcome but he's sure they'll be able to attract support. >> it has come into being and boris nentsov was the behind it. i think this will help us to take more action. >> a man has been arrested in france who police say was planning an imminent attack on one or more churches. simon mcgregor wood has more from paris. >> french authorities has "v" named the suspect. he had been living in paris for many years. they picked him up on sunday morning after he apparently called an ambulance after he accidently shot himself with one of these weapons

the european union put a lot of pressure on italy. people left libya knowing the italians would rescue them. i'dly replaced that program, and we had a 60% increase in boat people since the ieal wips stopped their program. you can't stop desperate people from trying to stop the situation. and the human traffickers are, you know, they make hundreds of thousands on each of these boats. a boat with 500 people, each paid up wards of 5,000 to 7,000 euro. and then in italy, there is a land trafficker that tries to get these people in italy. very few people stay in italy, the economic situation just cannot support -- lots go to france or germany, or into the u.k. >>> in terms of how you stop this, and it has to be said that hundreds of people pay likely thousands of dollars, what seems to be the solution there? it is a stark reminder, but as you said, no risk seams too great for the people separate enough to get on those boats. >> i talked to so many people when they landed in sicily, and they all say it's worth the list because they're lives

if we can help, the united nations and the european union to facilitate a agreement between the two sides there is a hope. it probably has more of a chance than syria to come back together in a productive way. katty: you can understand why people would look at the situation, particularly with the rise of the islamic state, and think was it worth getting rid of gaddafi? admiral stavridis: i was the supreme allied commander during the intervention. i would say it was. you can look at what the qaddafi regime was like harriet howitt treated people. the long-term oppression. the -- regime was like. how it treated people. the long-term oppression. it is better than motoring along under a dictator forever. katty: would you have predicted during that mission that was so fast and efficient that libya would end up like this? admiral stavridis: i wouldn't have. we were concerned at the time with the tribalism in libya. which is an issue. i kept going back to the education of the population. the oil wealth. i would not have predicted the downward spiral. i remain hopeful over the long term, despite t

that's not going to allay european union fears. there still is likely to be some quid pro quo. greece is going to have to offer russia something in return if russia proposes those things for grows. >> rory from moscow, thank you. >> in the u.s. city of north charleston in the state of south carolina a white policeman has been charged with the murder of a black man. a video shows him shooting walter scott several times in the back as he's running away. we have a report. >> 33-year-old north charleston police officer mike sell slager is behind bars after this graphic video went environmental.

and the message coming to you as someone who might to flee persecution, the message from the european unions we're going to blow up the boats that you are going to travel on that is bound to make people think the european union is a pretty hostile place, if you are looking for a place of safety. >> lawrence considering there are so many competing agendas here as you just outlined any idea how long this summit is supposed to last? hours, days? when might this actually be concluded and there is some sort of resolution coming out of it? >> reporter: it is slated for a couple of hours and then there's a news conference which donald tusk will hold later this evening, but they organize their positions. on something like that which is something the wealthy european countries agree on which is they don't want asylum seekers. some of thor things -- the -- the questions that you really can't find an answer to for example, out of the tens of thousands of people who have come over last year and are projected to come over this year they are talking about offering asylum or refuge to 5,000 people. how do

for these protesters outside parliament, action cannot come soon enough. >> on monday, european union foreign and interior ministers did agree on an action plan for tackling the mediterranean migrant crisis. >> we reported on that right here. that plan will top the agenda of the emergency meeting in brussels tomorrow. here is a look at what is inside that plan. >> it's a tragedy in the mediterranean. an estimated 1500 people have lost their lives attempted to reach europe this spring -- worst toll so far. the eu is proposing stepping up sea patrols, one of a package of measures to ease the crisis. the eu operation triton was only officially responsible for protecting europe's borders. the plan is to expand its mission and double its funding to 6 million euros, but even then, it's budget would be considerably smaller than the italian operation that triton replaced. traffickers are exploiting the migrant crisis. the eu aims to curb trafficking. proposals include locating the boats of potential traffickers and destroying them. eu investigators would also try to track down those mastermin

one is that the price of oil which gas is linked to, has considerably weakened, and also the european unionas done a lot over the last few months to make itself more self-sufficient, less reliant on russian gas. that all gives russia less of a bargaining chip, less of a leverage point to use when it comes to this sort of thing. >> the first pope in latin america will visit cuba. he'll stop by the island in september on his way to the united states. the exact dates have not yet been released. the pope was instrumental in launching negotiations in reestablishing diplomatic ties between the u.s. and cuba. president obama will deliver a message on climate change. the president is expected to say that what is happening in florida is a sign that climate change is real and needs to be addressed. up next back in court the latest legal twist in the two-decade old battle over an environmental disaster in ecuador. and residents of one louisiana town say they're being ignored after a sinkhole swallowed their homes. two companies are battling it out in court to see who is to blame. >> the justice depart

however, on the draft proposal that the european union leaders were looking at, they were talking aboutoying these and that's a bold initiative, that means going essentially to libyan ports and taking them out there, 90% of these boats originate in libya and it remains to be seen that governments can sum up the political will and stomach to do something like that and it also raises ethical issues because there are many tens of thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of african whose have made their way to libya and have found conditions there to be extremely dangerous, and hostile. and who want to get out. and if boats destroyed how are they going to get out okay barnabie phillips thank you very much indeed for that live update there. >> u.s. president barack obama has offered his condolences for the deaths of an american and italian hostage who were killed during u.s. drone strikes. warren weinstein died during the operation in the afghan pakistan border, along with an al quaida leader. including hundreds of hours of surveillance we believe this was a compound that no civilians were pr
