we're going to talk to petro now who is head of the center for advanced russia studies this is at the national institute of strategic studies he's in kiev on skype for us hope you can hear me all right i think we had a few connection problems earlier but thank you for joining us what do you make of well i guess the amount of support that ukraine is getting here but what it will actually amount to in the end may can you repeat the question please just interested to know what you think the support for ukraine they clearly is a lot of support but what will it actually amount to as far as action goes. well right now what we expect. the broad coalition as we would call the broad coalition of the contrie rule which respects the international law and international maritime role of will. join in order to make a collective action. to contain russia in. aggressive moves what i mean is first of all sanctions against russian military in crimea because what happened yesterday and continue to happen today is the result of russian. russian claims that the ukrainian bustles crossed their stated borde

naval vessels through the straight without permission he says the crisis is a move by the president petro poroshenko to shore up his declining popularity and bring more sanctions against moscow and. it may be that while ukraine was planning the provocation and no one has any doubt this was done with the good will and probably a direct order from the highest leaderships they were counting on additional benefits they wanted to get out of this situation first of all they were counting on the fact that the u.s. and europe as many ways recklessly take the side of the provocateurs of british ph d. research a jailed for spying in the united arab emirates thank the u.k. government for getting him home safely he's matthew hades he landed in london on tuesday after flying in from dubai he was sentenced to life in prison last week after a five minute hearing before being pardoned on monday. still to come here on l. to see the beatles slow down general motors with thousand set to lose their jobs in the united states and the rich jones to a tiny bits of the moon if you have a billion dollars. how to o

yeah well i think for petro poroshenko looking at the the aftermath of the weekend's altercations and the diplomatic activity since then. i think feel sort of i think some way content with how things have gone although there are significant causes for concern for him both domestically and internationally so domestically he got his martial law through parliament but see have to chop it down significantly to save face really and get it through it was in originally intended to be a sixty days period of martial law it's now thirty days it was initially intended to be nationwide but it's actually it's now only applying to ten regions from syria maritime parts of the country internationally yes the un security council they went with the ukrainian agenda for the meeting rather than the russian agenda there was condemnation of russia's activity except for that will be a boost for petro poroshenko but there was also comments from the united states that . crane had a role to play in reducing tensions and i think you know ukrainians looking acts what's coming out of the white house of the moment

in kiev ukrainian president petro poroshenko called on parliament to introduce martial law. this doesn't mean we are declaring war. ukraine is not planning for a war with anyone it is implemented solely to protect ukrainian land our territory territorial integrity and sovereignty. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov accused ukraine of deliberate provocation. principles of the international law were violated including the united nations charter and other legal instruments that require all states to respect the sovereignty of another state school moscow views the water surrounding crimea as russian territory the united nations however views russian annexation of crimea as an illegal act. tried to russia i'm due credit is in moscow david stern is in kiev welcome both standing with you petro poroshenko in ukraine has signed the degree to introduce martial law what does he hope to achieve with this. well it should be said that he signed the decree but it still is a major hurdle to overcome and nothing has to be voted on by parliament and apparently the talks over this are are

well yeah i mean as andrew was just saying there in his reports it's basically this is a move by petro poroshenko administration that is going to have ramifications for many ordinary people on either side of the russia ukraine border russia's unusual perspective when it comes to policies that he thinks are anti russian and he has to do something reciprocal back they call it the whole principle of reciprocity and so i think all eyes are basically on russia after this news broke to see whether there would be any kind of council move from the ministry of foreign affairs here anything that would say you know restrict the access of ukrainians of military age to russia. this is part of the worlds where there are families you have people on both sides of the border. but the russians seem to not be going down that route i think they are quite happy for petro poroshenko to look like he's overreacting in this situation they are playing down the whole straits crisis saying that it was just a border incident really and so when asked about what they would do in return earlier in the day and there i

petro poroshenko is very unpopular and has an election coming up.ducing martial law. he did not introduce martial law. he did not introduce martial law after the invasion. it is not a balanced picture. it is increasing in terms of rhetoric and it will be alarming nato. it will be interesting to see what happens with the un as well. a saudi backed paper, a strong headline, mike and pay saying saudi arabia is a powerful force of stability in the region. —— mike pompeo. powerful force of stability in the region. -- mike pompeo. the secretary of state and president trump are very supportive of the saudi arabian regime however the house and senate are not happy with the killing of jamal house and senate are not happy with the killing ofjamal khashoggi and the killing ofjamal khashoggi and the increasing disaster which is in yemen. the senate very posed now and despite that, the vote is going to the wire. even if it gets passed, donald trump has said it will veto it. what mike pompeo is saying is what many of us know, saudi arabia is the key ally, and the

ukraine's parliament has backed president petro poroshenko decision to impose martial law for thirty days after a flare up of tensions with russia on sunday russian forces on and seize three ukrainian boats of the coast of crimea. and u.s. can make a general motors is shutting down five manufacturing plants across north america fourteen thousand jobs will be lost u.s. president donald trump says he's not happy and has criticized the car. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin sound man will travel to argentina for the g twenty summit later in the week human rights watch has filed a legal submission with the court's there to try to hold him accountable for alleged war crimes committed by saudi forces in yemen argentina's constitution recognizes universal jurisdiction for war crimes and torture kenneth roth executive director of human rights watch says the crown prince is attendance at the g. twenty summit in but as i was could make the argentine courts an avenue of redress for victims of abuse is unable to seek justice in yemen or saudi arabia where seventy whitson is the executive

so you're the country's president petro poroshenko has warned there could be a russian invasion. these tanks have not yet been removed there will there i don't want anybody to think that those are toys the country is under threat of a food scale war with russia. with russia and ukraine have blamed each other for sunday's standoff in the catch strait which links the black sea and the sea a result of russian naval officers fired on and seized three ukrainian vessels capturing the crew twelve ukrainians have now been charged with unlawfully entering russia they face up to six years in jail but russian president vladimir putin blames the ukrainian president for the standoff claiming it's a move to boost his ratings it but. it's clearly a provocation or a provocation organized by the authorities here and i think the president himself should the head of the presidential election shed yule to take place in ukraine in march of next year. just do the show would international pressure against russia is building with talk of further sanctions u.s. president donald trump has threatened to ca

korean vessel ukrainian president petro poroshenko has demanded that the crew and the vessels be released immediately. the cash took place in a narrow street between russia and crimea a point of international tension since russia annexed the region four years ago. a confrontation at sea russia accused the ukrainian navy of acting like bandits what followed says ukraine was an act of russian aggression. a russian coastguard ship opened fire on then seized three ukrainian vessels. it happened in the black sea off the coast of crimea after the russian ships blocked access to the sea of as of via the narrow carriage street which separates the crimean peninsula from the russian mainland although a bilateral treaty gives both russia and ukraine access tensions are very in the sea have escalated since russia's annexation of crimea in twenty fourteen and the opening of a bridge linking the two earlier this year this latest incident has led ukraine's president to ask parliament to consider drastic action. order to fix martial law would be introduced in order to strengthen ukraine's defense capabil

playing a crucial role as a mediator between a ukrainian president petro poroshenko. and russia's vladimir putin it is a difficult relationship has he helped overcome the hostility. i think definitely the beginning that was an important role people weren't picking up phones to each other in those first weeks and months of the conflict here since then that has changed somewhat and we understand that president bush in confusion to talk directly occasionally they have channels of communication i think the fundamental problem here is that russia and russia's elites don't see ukraine as a genuinely foreign country they don't recognize ukraine's ability to set aside for policy and they see certain rights themselves in saudi will close in ukraine say any move that ukraine makes is to extent going to be unpopular mosco so it's not so much about the personal chemistry between the leaders as that fundamental disconnect but angela merkel has expended a whole lot of diplomatic capital over the last five years in ukraine not just in minsk but also in terms of shoring up european s

this is probably about petro poroshenko's future. no need to declare martial law. of us are eyeing the latest gadget but what happens to those phones and tvs which have fallen out of favour? well, a lot of electronic waste is shipped abroad, ending up in africa. recycling it can be dangerous but in the west african nation of togo, old gadgets are big business. in togo a growing number of entrepreneurs are putting e—waste to good use. waihiga mwaura has sent this report from the capital lome. a child's toy, from an unlikely source, made from other people's u nwa nted waste. this is plastic, so we print it with a 3d printer. 0k, and you made this 3d printer? yeah, we made the 3d printer from e—waste material. so, we recycle old printers, conventional printers, and we take parts that we use to make the frame. this is one of a growing number of young entrepreneurs who sees the potential of e—waste as an emerging business in togo. his vision is to empower children through science. our hope is that we produce and sell the science set that will help students, mostly kids

two of the ships are now more lead in the port of cash in russian and its crimea ukrainian president petro poroshenko has demanded the crew and the vests and the vessels be reduced immediately russia says three of the crewmen are injured and are receiving medicaid care. called the incident an act of aggression and has proposed introducing loshon or to put the country on a war footing the clash happened in a narrow street between russia and crimea a point of international tension since russia annexed a region four years ago. a confrontation at sea russia cues the ukrainian navy of acting like bandits what followed state ukraine was an act of russian aggression. a russian coastguard ship opened fire on then seized three ukrainian vessels it happened in the black sea off the coast of crimea after the russian ships blocked access to the sea of hours of via the narrow carriage street which separates the crimean peninsula from the russian mainland although a bilateral treaty gives both russia and ukraine access tensions are very in the sea have escalated since russia's annexation of crimea in tw

crisis the president of ukraine petro poroshenko he has called on nato to intervene but nato has rebuffed him saying that it already has a strong patrol presence in the region ukraine's prime minister has been in berlin seeking support from chancellor on the americal but not military support. a warning for europe ukraine's prime minister visits berlin calling for support in the escalating conflict with russia his country wants nato to send ships to the sea of as of to deter a russian attack they should abolish the should the recent russian aggression in the sea of as of could happen anywhere in the world should realize this it also affects europe. but german chancellor angela merkel has rebuffed the request for military support saying words not weapons are needed but simply bitter despite the current situation we ask you queen to be smart because we can only resolve this in talks with one another because there is no military solution to all of these conflicts. merkel has blamed russia for sparking the conflict which began on sunday in the catch straight between russia and the annexed crim

to this and he went so far as calling their actions a provocation cynically done by the president petro poroshenko to regain popularity in the face of upcoming elections the u.s. and european members of the security council for their part made it clear that their support for ukraine is ongoing and will they will continue to stand with the ukraine u.s. ambassador nikki haley started her remarks by saying that she had spoken to president trump and secretary of state mike pompei o s making it clear that the administration was behind the strong remarks that she was about to issue she called the acts of russian of russia an outrageous violation of ukrainian secure sovereignty she called it a reckless as collation so moving forward i don't think the ukrainians expect any action from the security council as long as russia is on board their veto ensures that there will no be will not be any international action from this body but they did get the strong statements from their allies that they were hoping to get deputy ambassador from the ukraine vladimir he spoke to reporters before entering the

to her he certainly picks up the phone when she calls i think this idea comes from the weekend when petro poroshenko was trying to get through to the kremlin just off the seizure of those ukrainian ships and his call was not returned his solution was to call berlin to call engler merkel and she was then able to establish some communication i think it's important to remember here that even though anger merkel has is very. is known for her the actions she took over sanctions and was very key to making sure those sanctions on russia were put in place and kept up by the european union she was very fastidious about keeping those lines of communication open visiting let him eat food and even at the height of the crisis so given that the key of no moscow seems willing to talk directly there are going to be many other alternatives whether this is a more formalized mediation or just a back channel communication that somehow keep some kind of exchange going ok. that's only as off see what ukraine says russia has blockaded russia of course as it has and so what can you say well you do see ships here

ukraine's president is making a stark warning about russia accusing it of sending more tanks to its border petro poroshenko says he wants ukraine to do more to defend itself against the threat of a learned invasion. these tanks have not yet been removed from there they're still there i don't want anybody to think those are toys the country is under threat of a full scale war with the russian federation so. the goal of this martial law is to show that the enemy will pay a very high price if he decides to attack us it will be like a cold shower that will stop the mad men who have plans to attack ukraine and if there is no further aggression we will assume that the goal of these actions the cheve. remarks will do nothing to calm down the tension and russia is announcing the deployment of more s. four hundred missile systems in crimea and donald trump says he may now cancel his meeting with vladimir putin that's jus at the g twenty summit and bought a sari's this week. with a lot of his now trying to dismiss what happened on sunday as a border incident. it's a provocative missile. i think it's a pro

of the the traffic across the border in one direction is a big step from petro poroshenko the russians of course in many circumstances have this principle of reciprocity if anybody in acts a policy that they see as anti russian and they will do something that is similar back so the big question was would the russians do that in return and as we've just heard from or is a car of a it seems i've they decided not to do that so i think the russians are trying to portray what's going on in ukraine at the moment as a kind of collective freakouts from the poroshenko administration and position moscow as the adult in the room all right thank you. well as you're hearing good kev has banned russian men aged between sixteen and sixty from entering the country it's the latest retaliatory measure as the crisis with moscow escalates ukraine's president petro poroshenko also wants nato to the point ships to the sea if as all of that's what russia has been blockading ports border regions in ukraine are now under martial law including the city of kharkiv under simmons reports from there. martial law re
