russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has weighed in on his thoughts on what western countries should be pushing for in this situation. i was listening to the media briefing. the foreign minister brought up the peace plan in ukraine saying there isn't why it failed this because the ukrainian government rejected dialogue would be a position of resorting and that simulates very force he also went on to brush off allegations that russia is sending weapons to government fighters across the border or highlighting russia's invitation to international monitors to go to those checkpoints and question where this is allegedly happening to see for themselves. invited european observers to russian border checkpoints with ukraine to observe the situation there been two weeks since died in the tension and u.s. or british and ukrainian diplomats have taken efforts to convince them. not to accept that offer the foreign minister said that he hopes that when international experts do finally get there they will see for themselves that there is no arms transport and there will be all these accusations to

in that conversation with john kerry, yesterday, sergey lavrov denied using weapons. we invited monitors to come to two check points along the border to see for themselves. we have had international monitors inspect these areas in the past. in an era we live in now, you can prove this thing either way, it should be clear where the truth lies. so, you know, continued policy from russia denying it's involved, pressing kiev to sit down with the pro-russian separatists and try to find negotiated settlement, which takes into account a process of constitutional reform. it's something russia has been calling for all along in this process. and saying that ukraine is the one who is encouraging the conflict and continuing to shell its own civilians and clearly, you know, we are seeing evidence of that on the ground today as nick was reporting. >> diane, i'm wondering if he said anything or if you are hearing from officials there from russia about these ratcheted up sanctions that we are expecting to come from the u.s. and particularly the eu, led by germany. before today, reall

day reporting in front of the state department maggie lopez our take russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has weighed in with his thoughts on what western countries should be pushing for in this situation archies marina closer it was listening to the media briefing. the foreign minister brought up the peace plan in ukraine saying the reason why it failed is because the ukrainian government rejected dialogue with the opposition and resorting instead to military force he also went on to brush off allegations that russia is sending weapons to government why there's across the border highlighting russia's invitation to international monitors to go to those type points in question where this is allegedly happening to see for themselves but she . wouldn't invited european observers to russia in order to check points with ukraine to observe the situation there well it's been two weeks since died in the taishan and u.s. or british and ukrainian diplomats have taken efforts to convince them not to accept that offer the foreign minister said that he hopes that one international experts do finally g

who apparently are working out of ukraine's intelligence service in kiev, at least reporting to sergey lavrov. and lavrov invited the osce, the security watchdog, the employ, immediately, along russia's border with ukraine, just to disprove the other u.s. claim, that russia is amassing troops and heavy weapons along that border. and rather than showing any contrition, russia is calling the west's attitude geopolitical hysteria. tough words. chuck, back to you. >> tough words and conspiratorial words. jim maceda in moscow. let me go to keir simmons. you heard jim maceda's report. how much of a presence are you seeing of the russians when it comes to aiding the separatists and it appears, now firing themselves over the border? >> reporter: well, look, chuck, when you're on the ground, what you really get here is a since of how complex the situation is, how difficult it is, and how hard it's going to be unpick it. so, for example, just today, here in the center of the eastern ukraine city of donetsk, a major city, a huge explosion rang out across the city. as you can imagine, people went to try

this was the reset with hillary clinton and sergey lavrov.the white house saying that moscow tested a ground-based cruise missile system in 2011, all of this in violation of an accord signed by president reagan and gorbachev. moscow said the matter is closed. let's talk about it now with a retired brigadier general. how serious is this alleged treaty violation? >> it's not only important in and of itself, but it's an indicator of a larger organs on the part of putin that he sees an indecisive europe and split united states and can take advantage of that situation. >> is he targeting specifically a weak barack obama? we are hearing reports that this violation happened three years ago, perhaps longer when the president took office. does that indicate russia is ramping up for some type of international conflict. >> i don't think russia is ramping up for an international conflict as much as being taken advantage of what is offered to them. if there isn't a pushback, he's going to take what's being offered. >> i want to talk about the state of the

>> we will wait and see the west's response to sergey lavrov's comments that he has made. >>> and stay with us we'll turn our attention to the situation in gaza right after this. >>> and welcome ers in the u.s. and around the world. >> we're closely monitoring the situation in gaza, the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting about three and a half hours ago. >> the acting president read a statement calling for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire between israel and hamas. the council also expressed grave concern for human life. both israel and hamas accuse each other of violating the truce. >> now despite the u.n.'s call for a cease-fire, israel targeted gaza for rockets. >> you heard, i believe, a deflected rocket attack this morning. walk us through the status of the fighting today. >> reporter: yeah, we've actually heard that siren here in ashkelon this morning. and the idf forces responded by targeting the launch site. but that's really been the extent of it. and overnight, it's actually been quite quiet. so what seems to be happening is sort of a de-escalation. where

the top russian diplomat on monday, sergei lavrov said he preferred not to get into a tit-for-tat discussion. in the meantime it does not seem that the russians have reduced the access of the separatists to russian territory. for example, the defense minister of the self-declared donetsk people's military of the ukraine he had announced that he had 20 rebel fighters and doctors and guards to russian territory for treatment. also the prime minister of the separatist region who is a russian citizen who has described himself as a resident of moscow, he was not present in donestk on monday because his administration said he had traveled to moscow for humanitarian discussions. there are accusations from the u.s., ukrainian government accusing the russians not only of stepping up the delivery of heavy weapons, missile systems, for example, to the separatists, but also of firing, firing russian artillery across the border into ukrainian territory. these are accusations that the russians have denied thus far, max. >> ivan, thank you very much, indeed. >>> now mh-17 investigators in the ukraine and t

sergey lavrov saying, go ahead, basically, bring on tougher sanctions. it's not going to change things for us. we will see if this does make a difference. appreciate the reporting, ivan, thank you. >>> now in the u.s., the center for disease control taking no chances combatting the spread of ebola to the united states. the cdc issued a level two health alert advising doctors to check patients travel history, symptoms about ebola. they acknowledge the risk of the deadly virus. it's low, very low. an outbreak spread across western africa killing 700 people and infecting two american aid workers. >>> is the nsa a threat to freedom of the press? that's what human rights claim in a joint report after interviewing 90 journalists and senior officials. the report says government officials have concerns of dealing with the media because any interaction leaves a digital trace that can be used against them. the justice department criticized the report saying it relied too much on opinion than fact. >>> work permits to allow some undocumented citizens to stay in the

washington with the ukrainian foreign minister and he spoke by phone with the russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov. lavrov asked kerry to encourage ukrainian leaders to call a truce and start negotiating with the separatists. the conflict in ukraine has left many dead on each side. and forced 85,000 ukrainians to flee their homes. they need shelter, food, and clothing. state run media in russia say 700,000 ukrainians have taken refuge across the border. this continued tension between russian and the west has many people drawing comparisons to the cold war. but president obama says this is not a cold war and he says putin holds the key to resolving t crisis. >>> chinese state media say communist party leaders are taking aim at their bigges target yet in a crac corruption. they are investigating zhou yongkang, a man who used to sit alongside them. >> reporter: zhou was the ninth highe ranking member o standing committee unt november 2012. the state-run xinhua new says the party's central disciplinary commission decided to investigate him for grave violations of discipline. >> translator: this case s

or apologize for jumping in it's r t international that was russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov there speaking to the media on some very key political issues there here in moscow let's chat with her now who listened and listened to the whole thing as as was i marina very interesting covering ukraine not just the ongoing violence on the border with russia but also m.h. seventeen take it away what did the foreign minister have to say absolutely of orewa hardly a surprise there ukrainian crisis was the focal point and said again love it off that the reason why the.

recently sergei lavrov has been quoted making much tougher statement than puti than putin has, and this was lavrov express ing his opinion. but in most countries mornin foreign ministers don't express opinions that is different from its leader. >> of course there is a debate going on. like in every country. there are different points of view. i would like to point out one important thing. that america has to really, really step back about what is has done in ukraine. when people start telling us about crimea becoming part of russian soil, it all started in february when there was a coup in kiev. the legitimate government, good or bad, corrupt, and so on, it was removed. it was removed in a violent way, by the way. and so for the united states to now say that this is putin who has stirred up all the problem. and until america and in a sense some european countries accept that it's their fault that the delicate balance which we have in ukraine was completely blown apart just like it happened in iraq, by the way, when the so-called coalition of the willing went in without having any idea w

what is secretary kerry saying to sergey lavrov in the meetings since it seems like they're looking atrday and made clear to him that the notion that the russians have nothing to do with what is happening with the separatists, with the action, the violence that we have seen in eastern ukraine is just not credible. we know the russians are funding, supporting, supplying the separatists and that's how we have reached this point. we have put out a range of evidence and a preponderance of evidence including satellite images just yesterday about artillery coming over from the russian border. so i think, again, this is a case where the russians are hoping they're going to claim they have no engagement or involvement with this, when the facts and the evidence really says the opposite. >> jen, one final point, i want to get your take, also this morning, sergey lavrov said the sanctions that the united states and the european allies would be putting on russia, that they're not going to work. he essentially said they're not really worried about it, the russian economy can handle it. is that a pr

. >> and secretary of state john kerry telephoned russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and told him moscow must get the rebels to lay down their weapons and allow investigators complete access to this crash site. ukraine's foreign minister says russia needs to use its influence over the rebels. listen. >> now is of course about the -- as i said, it is about trilateral contact group talking to the terrorists, but it is, of course, about understanding how to put pressure on the terrorists, and it is up to the international community to put relevant pressure on russia because the main back of the terrorists and the majority of the terrorists russians. >> let's bring in phil black now. >> he's at the crash site in eastern ukraine. phil, thank you for being with us. what are you seeing on the ground there? does it seem organized more so than yesterday and what do you know about the bodies? >> sure, we are seeing more progress here today, no doubt. in terms of control, and activity, the emergency workers who are guiding the recovery effort, they're now restricting access to the main impac

just to let you know regarding the sanctions we're now hearing from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov saying these sanctions by washington are ultimately vengeance out of the american capital while the u.s. sanctions will hurt russia but there is reason for optimism after a brick summit wrapped up in brazil with a hefty pall of deals being signed his postcard. the brics nations really look to strengthen ties and cool countries across the continent here in latin america as they look to develop and build what's being described as this new multi-polar world in an attempt to try to wrestle influence global influence away from washington on his tour over the last six days putin has visited cuba nicaragua argentina and then finally here in brazil for the two thousand and fourteen brics summit the highlights of which was the announcement of the new one hundred billion dollar development bank and also the sustainability fund as well worth the same amount of money one hundred billion u.s. dollars is going to be seen as a long time rival to the international monetary fund and the world bank as

pushing for an immediate and unconditional cease fire in ukraine in a culture of i was listening to sergey lavrov briefing to the media and joins me now seems like this was pretty much all about ukraine absolutely it was nail of the foreign minister brought up the peace plan in ukraine saying the reason why it failed is because the ukrainian government rejected dialogue with the opposition of resorting instead similar terry force he also went on to brush off allegations that russia is sending weapons to government fighters across the border highlighting russia's invitation to international monitors to go to those checkpoints in question where this is allegedly happening to see for themselves. president putin invited european observers to russian border checkpoints with ukraine to observe the situation well it's been two weeks since that invitation and u.s. british and ukrainian diplomats have taken efforts to convince them. not to accept their offer. the foreign minister said that he hopes that when international experts do finally get there will see for themselves that there is no arms transport

moscow has long pushed for a lasting cease fire in ukraine and so foreign minister sergei lavrov again stressed the importance of stopping the fighting. in our common interest to stop the bloodshed there can be no more excuses to delay an immediate cease fire as more and more people suffer in a forced to flee stream we concerned with the growing number of civilian casualties and damage infrastructure cities villages roads children's homes schools everything's been destroyed it reminds me of the belgrade bombings in one thousand nine hundred nine but what's happening today in ukraine is far more serious i think it's time to put all ambitions aside and start thinking about saving lives. sons of thousands of running from the horrors of war records and taps now stretch along the border with russia ready to take in global day and nights were often often a follows one family's journey to safety they have packed only the basics mostly warm clothes to keep the children on that they were forced to leave their hometown of claim i told him that i wish we lived children and entire families it wasn
