let's get more from moscow with ben judah, also written a book about vladimir putin.ou very much. you've written an article saying the world needs to be honest with ukraine. what you to mean? >> for the past month, what was clear is that poroshenko was attempting to solidify his presidency and the revolution that is taking place in kiev, a revolution based on the aspirations of becoming the new estonia, the large one of joining the eu are of joining nato, of saying good-bye to putin's clutches and all of the lattice work of corruption and organized crime that means. and destroy a russian backed and lar largely -- on the east of the country, around donetsk and luhansk. and the west was largely letting this happen. west was not being honest toward poroshenko, not being honest toward poroshenko because it knew the moment that vladimir putin decided to commit russian forces to protect this rebellion, the west was faced with two choices. one of which was to either arm ukraine, the other was to tell ukraine to surrender this territory, creating what is called a frozen confl

recently i was approached by a few residents in the inner sunset on irving and judah and 9th, it's almost a gateway to gold gate park, a photo which says a thousand words that shows how it looks. it's a beautiful neighborhood and a lot of great families. it looks a mess, the wires crossing all over the place. it's pretty unbelievable that we have not moved in a direction of looking at how we can do this more all over the city i know in the bayview hunter point when i served, there is a model block program where the neighbors came together, there was grant funding, there is support. it took so much effort, so much money to do the work for one block 1 block in the area and what a difference it made. it was a huge difference in terms of the look of the area, many of the property owners didn't know each other and now they know each other very well and they come out and plant gardens and they feel they have been given a whole new place to live and it looks a lot better. i would love to explore what financial opportunities could be available to make this happen all over our city. the informatio

you spoke on a panel with judah major international companies -- international copies.retending or saying they're going to act even faster than governments are on the issue of beginning to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is there any concern about this whole sort of, let us do it voluntarily rather than through treaties or through government commitments? >> absolutely perfect question position,eenpeace some have signed and we understand, we took the position not to sign precisely because we do not believe that voluntary action on its own is going to deliver the solutions to protect our forests. we believe there has to be strong governmental leadership, strong roles -- not only strong roles, but there needs to be implementation and compliance to the laws. there are some good laws that exist to protect forest, but our governments are not limiting it. however, when companies do take a step in the positive direction, we will accept it and we will encourage them to go further. but we do not have the faith that companies that have destroyed our forests, who make billions of

reporter tim judah writes -- in the hours leading up to the cease-fire, pro-russian rebels launched another offensive to take the port city which stands about halfway between russia and the crimea region. the ukrainian government and nato have accused russia of sending forces into ukraine, claimed that moscow continues to deny. >> meanwhile in wales, nato has announced plans to create a new rapid reaction force in response to the ukraine crisis. it is prime minister david cameron said the new force could be deployed anywhere in the world in two to five days. >> so we must be able to act more swiftly. in 2002, nato stood down its high readiness force. i hope today we can agree a multinational spearhead force, deployable anywhere in the world and just two to five days. this would be part of a reformed nato response force with headquarters in poland, unit in eastern allies, and prepositioned equipment and infrastructure to allow more exercises, and if necessary, rapid reinforcement. if we can agree this, the united kingdom will contribute 3500 personnel to this multinational force. >> in anoth

potential impact on the entire region, and ultimately the world, it is important that we lead for judah does not surprise me that america is the first among all nations offering assistance. i think more could be done by other countries. i think that the world health organization could have been more effective. i think another countries could have been more aggressive. this is an epidemic that is clearly overwhelming the limited resources in those countries. they don't have the training, the medical personnel, the basic containment equipment. you can see it in terms of the spread of disease and of occult in providing treatment. is a good thing that our president government is leaning forward. i think that there are american charities that have been leaning forward, providing assistance as well. it is a part of the we are as american people pray we are the most generous people in the world. we respond to humanitarian crises all over the world. whether or not there were direct strategical interests, in this case, there will be if we don't act, but i think it's the right thing to do. i thin
