eu and eventually become a member. does not advantage is that the united states that offer. sanctions, i believe that if there were sanctions on corrupt officials on ukraine visiting the united states and the eu in it for financial sanctions against the assets of ukrainian officials, this would encourage the ukrainian government to make the political compromises necessary to a peaceful resolution. >> you mentioned the united states. what is their role? >> the united states share the same interests as the eu in seeing the resolution -- the revolution of the democratic ukraine. we do have influence of the world leaders power -- leading powert but we can offer the ukraine incentives like the eu can. our role is important but not as important as eu. this is a crisis that is created within refrain and is a crisis that we resolve iranian's -- by ukrainians. outside actors several it's of little influence. >> what would be your first step in trying to bring some resolution to a situation that has escalated? what will be your first step here? >> i would tell the protesters to stop an

. >> of the things that the united states and eu can do that would not involve troops or military or anything like that is the threat of sanctions against government officials in the ukraine. can that have a substantial effect quickly enough to stop some violence? >> i'm guessing not, only because russia said no. here's what we can do. first of all, it's not our war. it's not our problem. it's none of our business. we should stay out of it. i think what the eu is trying to do and what we should try to do is force the -- force the ukraine into an early election. let them go ahead and push -- let them start their election process early rather than later. that may calm the protesting down. but when i say force, i don't mean military force, i mean diplomatic force, i mean sanctions, if you want, if the sanctions mean holding back aid that you may have added to them. >> like, for example, the president of ukraine's bank account, or preventing him from being able -- like the individual. >> fine. those are all -- above my pay grade. all i care about is not putting some boots on the ground.

the united states and eu stand with the people of ukraine in that fight. >>> despite a stand-off in ukraine against the opposition and the government, a sign there is room for man your, opposition leaders saying a political solution is still on the table. >> the only chance to decrease the dictatorship powers of the president is to shift from presidential to parlorpal-presidential republic. in order to do this, we need to have a comprehensive approach with participants. >> even one of victor yanokovich's advisors agrees that can be an intermediateator. >> all sides will trust someone from europe. the u.s.a. and russia must stay out of it >> reporter: in central kiev, the former lenin museum is a m dormitory, calf tear and information center for anti-government protesters. they say president yanokovich is playing for time, trying to wait them out. >> i think it's obvious we need to change the country. we need to change the government. we need to change right now or sometime later >> reporter: they are planning for later. they have even started a line rather here and hundreds of books have po

the protesters, they want to have closer relationships with the united states and with the eu. that's what sparked these protests about three months ago. the government, however, maintains very close ties with moscow and moscow wants to keep its relations with ukraine and wants to keep ukraine within its sphere of influence. can you imagine from putin's perspective if while holding these games, to show russia's might and glory, one of the country's biggest allies, the ukraine, collapses into revolution and turns its back on moscow. that's what potentially we're seeing now in those dramatic developments. >> it's worth noting russia has not been desueded from that support of the ukraine at all. they approved a new $15 billion payment to ukraine. >> what is interesting to me is that the u.s. is implicated in all this. the ukrainians are favoring the russians in this deal over the interests of the united states and the eu. we talked about the propaganda film that aired last night on russian state tv. the fact we work with the russians on a host of different issues, they are our glob

united states and nato and the eu together using the combined forces the signal these demonstrators that we are with you and of course that involved them and john kerry and eu and nato leadership in the bombing the station are neck deep in now planned to carry on regime change in this extremely important part of europe trying to integrate a former soviet republic into the eu and of course in tomato ultimately i think the united states government this flame a dirty game another dirty game. they're trying to do what they've been doing for the last twenty years which is to incorporate all of the former socialist countries in the eastern and so she and central european bloc those that were aligned the soviet union into an american western nato sphere of influence and you can see it it's going to systematically in ukraine is a big prize is a big country with a very big military and its raid on russia's border. black ice it happens in kiev and will be keeping you up to date information please come back online team is finding a ninth minute by minute timeline of the bands at dawn to go home now

you have so many investments with european countries in the united states and vice versa. trade between the eu and the u.s. is high. that is proven by all studies. >> it is different. it is not new. the political environment has changed. it is for the simple reason that you had two cases recently. ones against australia cigarette packaging by philip and one against germany on being nuclear sector. stake is the effect on the policy space. that is the real question. does -- to what extent does isds limit policy space. we have seen this recently with canada. the purpose of the negotiation was to make sure that we do not limit policy space. that is less clear in the existing agreements. there is no clear definition. seen, it is very important to be much more precise on that. that, forot do existingn egypt, the investment protection agreement will be made for us. our member states have been concluding about 1400 investment protection agreement. them, it says ds provisions. is we're on the same page. all of a sudden, there's been a lot of discussion. we have decided to rebalance the consultation. we

good also a top priority among russia, the united states and the eu is economic stability within the ukraine. the u.s. said they would look to the imf to take the lead, but that has not been decided, that's being worked out as well, tony. >> white house correspondent mike viqueria, thank you. >>> a day of action is underway around the world to draw attention to the plight of our al jazeera colleagues in egypt. three al jazeera english correspondents. mohamed fahmy, peter greste and baher mohamed. al jazeera rejects the charges against them. putting down their cameras in solidarity with our staff. our colleagues in berlin came out to demand the charges against our colleagues be dropped. abdalla al shami has been on a hunger strike for more than a month. journalists from around the world are asking the egyptian government to release all our staff. maria innes ferre is here. , maria, hello. >> this is a map of a hashtag that's been trending all over the world from asia, north america, south america, europe, and these are the images of hundreds and hundreds of journalists, activists, org

only hope for that evolving, painful though it will be in its birth is in my judgement, the united states and the eu working together, and being in for the long haul. >> but when it comes to russia, though, tensions keep rising. we're counting on the russians in some regard, if iran, in syria. >> yeah. >> i mean in a host of troubled parts of the world. >> yeah, if you wanted to view them, the bad things that could happen, mentioned earlier on the program, just the possibility of missed calculation. i never thought one was going to happen either. you could have miscalculations and really had something recently terrible if ukraine breaks up. so there's that. but as you say, he could say you mess with me in ukraine i will really mess with you and the parts you really care about, which is iran and syria where we do need them. i would just go back to putin. we definitely need long-term stability stability in central europe and ukraine and countries like that. but putin is a history-making individual. he sees himself as someone who is shaping history. and people like that are inherently destabilizing. so

ultimately, what the united states and eu want to see is ukraine turning more toward the west and europeaine finally emerge from the sort of post soviet stagnation they have been experiencing so long, but at the same time they don't want to make it a zero sum game against putin, don't want to stick a finger in russia's eye. they want to engineer a solution that works for ukraine while preserving relations with putin. all those issues we have to work on. >> or legitimize as a way of changing government. saying we will immediately recognize whatever government comes out of it, doesn't that legitimize this means of changing one's government? >> no matter what government we end up with in ukraine, they cannot change the geography, they're not like egypt, i have not seen pyramids in ukraine. russia will continue to have the overwhelming political security and economic interest. and the question we should be asking on russia, the most important question here, are they going to play hard ball in the short game or hard ball in the medium game. meaning they'll use ethnic russians, passports, inde

it is interesting that foreign minister and john kerry have already over syria last august worked out a diplomatic approach. i think the eu, the united states and russia have to be deeply concerned about a very grim reality. ukraine is bankrupt. probably needs 35 billion in short assistance. russia has been subsidizing natural gas. is the eu, which is already dealing with austerity politics to bail out, is the united states which needs to rebuild at home and invest in infrastructure ready to intervene in another country. so there are real limits on both countries, the united states and russia. >> though kerry and labarov have been talking to each other. russia went right ahead and conducted a massive drill with 150,000 troops right on the border of ukraine. you have written that you are concerned that the american media and american government has demonized vladimir putin. i'll ask you the worry question. what do you see happening? >> the absolute worst could happen. the worst would be hot war that russia would cross the border into crimea that is a russian enclave on russia's border and nato would send its troops into the western. and that

and more money for ukraine the eu and united states wanting to pay for moscow will still get the latest from here. in europe is undermining democracy and costing businesses and workers billions of euros every year according to a new eu study that says the extent of corruption is breath taking now seventy five percent of europeans surveyed for the commission's study said they thought that corruption was widespread. half said was increased. ne win in europe the spray you from corruption that's just one result of the anti corruption report it says corruption costs the economy at least two hundred and twenty billion euros every year. as much as the entire eu annual budget corruption and rhodes trust in institutions and democracy. good on the mind sightings in the markets the tempest find investments it costs taxpayers. another point of serious concern is bhakti financing and dunstan says gemini tv needs before for example in the financing of election campaigns with businesses have especially strong influence of the political politics. many districts wakes up party financing and he suggests

largely because there's a series of reforms that the imf and the eu and the united states want to see him post along with that paid well and ukraine isn't a serious situation here of the day without getting too complicated about bonds in the heels of the simply don't have enough money to keep going the bond market is one of the worst performers this year around the world along with venezuela of the bonds are acting sort of reverse way where short term bonds are yielding higher return than long term bonds. that's not supposed to happen and they simply don't have enough foreign currency reserves to return money that they owe to russia some one billion and also to pay creditors some sticks and a half billion dollars just this year alone in two thousand and fourteen so a worrying situation here many people wondering if this economy is heading towards the fault of course those foreign diplomats hoping they can help ensure that won't happen. what great i think you have for all event that set out cos one photograph of a reporting to assess from kiev and said the crisis as also being covered

do they think they need more assistance from the united states and the eu? they are expecting that nato which includes the united states will step up to the plate if required. they have treaty obligations. i think that is something they are expecting. the debt situation, one could argue is somewhat out of control in the ukraine. we have come out and said we would be willing to lend the country $1 billion. john kerry announced that news earlier this week. that is just a drop in the bucket. can these debt issues be solved? but it hase solved to be properly dealt with. the international monetary fund is the organization that should take care of this situation. willerstand that the imf meet early next week to start working with the new government. the prime minister yesterday made a good point in his declaration and he says it's a high priority for the new government and the imf will ask ukraine to do certain things. it will be to let the exchange rate: that has already happened. the exchange rate has now reached a reasonable value. help drop the deficit sharply

and get entangled with global war. we saw that with syria. it's interesting that foreign ministers have already, over syria last august, worked out a diplomatic approach. i think the eu, the united states and russia have to be deeply concerned about a very grim reality. ukraine is bankrupt. it probably needs $35,000,000,000 in short assistance. russia has been subsidizing natural gas. is the eu, which is already dealing with austerity politics in europe. >> countries in there have serious trouble sglrm. >> need to rebuild infrastructure, jobs ready to intervene in another country? i think there are real limits on both countries, the united states and russia. >> even though kerry and lavrov have talked to each other, russia conducted a massive drill this week with 150,000 troops right on the border of ukraine. i know you have written about the fact that you are concerned that the american media and to some extent the american government as demonized vladimir put in. what do you see happening there, given those kind of tensions? >> the absolute worst could happen would be that russia would cross the border with troops into crimea on russia's border and nato would send it's troops into we

started when unesco which ditched the eu trade deal and pay very close alliance with its former soviet master russia. now let's talk about the eu and united states can help you creamy its financial obligations of the next three years the average ukrainians going to get rid of corruption and symbols of the old regime ukraine could be making a break with its past lives. michigan democrats don't think gold is the longest serving congressman in us history and fifty eight years in office has announced his retirement from the house of representatives often to see it. our single first and to congress to finish his late father's time in nineteen fifty five even before preston brock obama was born in his heyday phd city road shape to make tools but they never want to protect the pages species provide healthcare for four children expressed disappointment in today's gun rights. i think it is quite time to just enjoy their retirement. you want. woohoo enjoyed the peace and quiet and content. the blow. we know and love for so long dingell has sent on to live in preston's i made was to be shown come into the white house say he could carry dot com tinged with

economy is in a stalinist state's new teams are in prison and or links on that which in old says ukraine needs about twenty five billion euros of financial aid the eu the united states and on and there are preparing to office and held onto it in all he's not proposing a few elite pro western foreign policy. we knew from the peace movement you're a priest we must return to the family of european nations but at the same time we must understand the importance of a relationship with the russian federation between us feel good neighborly relations on the basis of the fam partnership with the spoon with me. now the priority of the mormons on independence square is to see justice done and today and that means holding yanukovich and he's told to rush to accounts bartlett's pick that up with our correspondent marcus rear he is in kiev on the story forest. is there any new information mark roosevelt where the former president is right now. there is no hiding information really that lot of rumors and theories in the internet we have baked in the comics might be. i like his crewman since notion that look at it that item was the special forces operation on the crimean the

. >> and on the eu and united states side how does the west influence the ukraine, and should they?i think they very much should. it is very much in our interest an independent sovereign democratic ukraine transforms the map and the landscape of central -- central europe without ukraine, russia cannot be your asian empire, also independent ukraine alleviates certain pressures on poland and makes it easier for georgia and maldova to pursue a more western course, so we have a strategic influence in help them. what is needed is a major influx of invest -- private investment and capital, and therefore, what would be hoped would be that the u.s. and the eu coordinate their policy, and offer a stability package, which would prevent ukraine from defaulting on its debts and offer it some assistance, conditioned on the willingness of the transition government and the government that's elected after the may 25th elections to pursue a program of economic and political reform. >> and one other question, is the u.s. really concerned that russia might put troops in ukraine to help in some way? >>

now inactive for months or years but for generations for the people of ukraine this case the eu and united states should get out of ukraine and let the ukrainian people become the masters of their own destiny. that's the best cakes now the sun really slippery slope to civil war but i want to tell you i mean we're seeing people die on a daily basis for saying these clashes continue for weeks and months. what does. where is the line when it comes to a revolution one that starts happening or will we start calling this a civil war when that money. well we're getting close to the line i don't think it's a revolution and it's kind of a counter revolution we've seen the error of counter revolution for the last twenty years where western powers to advance economic military and diplomatic authority especially since the collapse of the soviet union are picking apart the former soviet republics integrating them into an american or western sphere of influence. integrating them into nato. and that's part of a counter revolution because it's not really for the benefit of the people of the western powers will a

russia in the east and eu and united states on the west and john kerry and lavrov have had a second dayf discussing this issue on the phone and they have reached certain agreements, although, one thing they are both saying in common is that they do not want ukraine to split. that's what the new government in ukraine in kiev is saying as well. people here in crimea and 3/4 of the people here, ethnic russians speaking russian, a lot of them are now saying, you know what, there's a referendum in may about what we do. we would like to secede from ukraine now. we want to be with russia. >> bill neely, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >>> joining me now adam schiff, thank you for being here. we appreciate it. >> you bet. >> let's pick up on that point, russia denying involvement in that airport raid. do you believe russia? >> well, russia may not have been directly involved in the sense of sending russian troops to the airport, but that doesn't mean play being a role subross is a, they have a lot of levers at play to use in the ukraine. it is certainly through its contacts there get ukrai

would give them the money without conditions and that upset people wanted to be pro-western. >> what about the bailout? it will be the eu and united statesolved? >> they are leading it. the ukraine needs to in -- reform the economy tremendously. they never reformed after the berlin wall came down in a way that poland did. they relied on soviet air industries and did not modernize and used soviet subsidies to keep that going. the ukraine per capita gdp versus poland and the united states. they have made no progress in those 20 years. the choice is going with russia and continuing that arrangement or go with united states and the imf and reform your economy. it will be painful to do. the politicians are not anxious to embrace that. note, the g 20r met in australia and they are about to raise their global growth forecast? >> they came out with a proposal , a pledge, as it were, to raise global growth by two percentage points over the next five years over what it would have been which is around four percent. they are looking to boost that to add to the global economy. the trouble is, it is not going to happen. they cannot specify how they wi

a close relationship with putin as to those out there on the streets and want to have good relations with the eu and the united states another one of these proxy wars going on and it's a big battle between the putin forces and maybe the obama forces on the other side because it's a real struggle. it the nation is at risk right now. >> and you're taking a deep dive on your show. >> that's right. chris hill, the former u.s. ambassador at the university of denver, we're going to be talking to him about this. we're also going to be talking to him about iran. zarif spoke to students today via skype. >>> 11 million people tuned in to make jimmy fallon's "the tonight show" debut. that's coming up in the pop culture lead, next.

or the other, on issues of this sort which is of paramount importance to the united states and interestingly enough to the eu. with all respects chancellor merkel should be complaining when she herself was deeply disturbed when others were listening to her conversation. we should ground ourselves and state, which pot is calling the kettle black. >> what about the yogurt mess? why are the russians not allowing the yogurt that the americans want? is it tit-for-tat once again? >> it's a one day story, that's exactly what the splinter problem is, you come up not with serious issues but slightly idiotic issues such as yogurt. obviously we know they went against putin's antigay law propaganda, so russians decide tit-for-tat to reciprocate. this is not a lasting story. it shows russia has been discombobulated as ever since 1991. >> all i can say is maybe the yogurt was the secret weapon for our success and the russians are going to cut it off and their gold metal toll will increase. >> let's hope our american athletes get their yogurt. ambassador, glad to have you back on the show. >> not at all, glad to be with yo

and so we need to see russia cooperate with the eu and the united states to see if we can't stabilizeat's really at the core of the country's problems right now. >> it absolutely is. and i wonder what other end game there possibly could be here other than somebody, whether it's the u.s., a combination of international bodies, extending billions of dollars of aid to ukraine or if there's some other outcome that we're not thinking about at the moment. >> well, the united states, the imf, eu are all interested in providing economic assistance, but it has to be tied to economic reforms, and this has been the challenge in the past. russia has moved in with its $15 billion aid proposal without any conditions. they just simply want to make sure that they continue to be a dominant force in the region and have moved in in that particular gap. and so what we have to insist upon is the ukrainian people have to decide for themselves what kind of a future do you want? one in which you can see the kind of prosperity that's been generated in free and open markets as opposed to what you have with hig

the argument is being made, though, that it was necessary to show foreign partners, the eu and the united states, that opposition is willing to make compromises. >> thanks for that. reporting from kiev. france, president francois hollande is continuing his charm offensive to your foreign investors to the country. counseld attractiveness -- a so-called attractiveness counsel met today just a few days after the french president got back from another pr trip to silicon valley. as explained, it is all about jobs. >> hollande is continuing to charm offensive. the head of 30 companies, including siemens, volvo, and ge, are at the palace for what is called the council of attractiveness. the companies invited have combined annual revenues of 850 billion euros in the president is hoping he can convince them to invest more in france. >> there are 20,000 foreign companies in france. they employ over 2 million workers. and this accounts for 30% of our annual exports. on sunday evening, the company had met with the french prime minister. the government is trying hard to improve its image, an image marred by

assuming the russians and the europeans can agree that mr recently cannot agree sergei lavrov has worked closely with his opposite numbers. in the eu in poland and germany. in the united states. these foreign ministers can sit around a table as it did last week and cut a deal. make sure that russia and the others will sustain ukraine as a going country. we do not need a war in the middle of europe would be normal diplomatic relationships. this is not time for soldiers at the time for diplomats. we have seen some of the concerns though when it comes to tensions on the border between ukraine and russia it sounds as if you'll saying that perhaps at least from the russian perspective. i wish that we should be paying down those tensions. exactly but i think president putin has got to juggle two wings of opinion i was in russia all last week i speak mainly with bankers and businessmen they do not want war. we do not want to break up the ukraine they wanna continue normal business can see the ukrainian economy grow there is also a faction that would love to wave the flag that we've seen some of that already in the crimea. that is not the direction to go and the question is can pres

and where the loyalty will remain with the eu with the west or russia? >> i think four sources of money for ukraine at this stage. one is the international community and the united statesnd so forth and the united states itself. secondly, the eu, which has a stake obviously in a stable nonthreatening process of ukraine moving westward but very gradual and slowly. and that there is, third, the russians themselves, russia. after all this in russia's interest have a good relationship with ukraine and not on the ukraine's interest. so the russians, obviously, maintain the position of accommodation and working with the ukrainians and some parts of ukraine are heavily dependent on russia and the russians need ukraine as well. last, but not least, people in ukraine who have astronomicstol the money. look at the balances. they are worth billions. i think they should be forced to kick in and they have their money in london. i hope -- english. don't take advantage of that and let the money go to ukraine because that could, in itself, immediately contribute a lot of cash. >> dad, david gregory has a question for you. >> good morning, doctor. >> good morning. >> what are the stake

united states ought not to be involving itself in this quarrel, john. it is an economic quarrel between russia, which wants its own common market in the ukraine, and the eu, and putin made a very tough offer and a strong offer, $15 billion, and he got the ukrainians to side with him. for heavens sakes, for the united states to get in the middle of an operation where a democratic government is about to be overthrown would be an absurd tee for us. >> what do you think, eleanor? >> kerry is there discussing, and so is catharine ashton, the foreign representative for the eu, and putin said this is like if he had sent an envoy to greece, when the europeans were having their difficulty. so he really sees this as his monroe doctrine. he really doesn't think that europe or the u.s. has any business mettling, and kerry basically said -- i guess it was friday, that mr. putin shouldn't worry, that we just are on the side of having a peaceful demonstrations there. and basically, that's the point they are making. don't crack down in a bloody way on these protesters, which is what senator mccain said as well. i don't see the administration necessarily in there pushing

the second most influential partner is the eu and the united states is third. our role as you might say as a champion of freedom, so we were the first outside power to sanction ukrainian officials for brutally treating their citizens. and we have said positive things to the demonstrators and we've tried to encourage the eu to also issue sanctions and, of course, the eu did make that decision two days ago. and note, when the eu did it, things in ukraine changed. because this is a very important because, the oligarchs in ukraine want to have access to europe because that's where they see their economic future. even the people in yanukovych's own party see it. they understand that russia is a dead end. russia under its present leadership. a russia engineered reform could be a great global and economic power. but with the backward-looking leadership it has today, it does not have a great future. >> mr. ambassador, thank you very much for joining us with your insights. i know you'll be watching these events very closely because the stakes remain quite high. >> thank

eu commitments. >> that is going to very important to watch here. how the issa played this -- the this and the united states, they need to have a good package owing board to integrate them into the eu. >> they do not want ceu taking over the western half of the country, not just regionally, but as far as the culture is concerned, and russia and vladimir putin taking over the eastern half. >> they get 20% of the natural russia, so there has to be some sort of relationship between the three regions. >> absolutely. how do you engage with them in the ukraine? >> that was our guest from greylock capital management. "street smart" starts now. >> i am matt miller. welcome to the most important hour of the session. 59 minutes until the closing bell. julie hyman and i are here for you in place

united states will guarantee a $1 billion loan to ukraine. they are also considering direct aid to ukraine. the trouble though, trish, is the ukraine needs about 35 to $10 to be solvent. and theou -- the eunited states have been debating this. they have said they will commit one billion dollars, but obviously nowhere near the amount of money ukraine needs to come back from the brink of default. kovacic now onh the run somewhere in ukraine. kovacic ent victoriana vich on the run somewhere in ukraine. ukraine is taking steps forward to put together a new government that could come into place tomorrow. the u.s. guaranteeing a one billion dollar loan. not enough though. they need $35 billion. trish? >> shifting focus to beijing. the notorious air-quality there has reached hazardous levels for a seventh consecutive day before the national people's congress. air pollution is the number one cause of complaints and will dominate discussion of the communist meeting. stephen engle reports. >> we in the media like to use cute terms like airpocalypse or airmageddon to describe the air-quality in beijing this week. but perhaps it was the government that put it best, calling the air-quality "uninhabit

it's not the night and are getting this money from the eu in from united states taxpayer will make sure investigation different. no one's ever done an investigation like this i'm also looking at tax exempt organizations like the new israel fund. the ford foundation the george soros open society foundation and how they contribute to and shields who are committed to creating a climate of confrontation. edwin black's presentation came about with the help of european jewish problem and coach at joel rubin felt. we us and know what he hoped likes presentation with no teeth now it's a good man though for your kind comments so that we would do all the school. to follow up and go it alone it's because they were the baby is a nine pan and heat pisa in the room and the dance no knowledge as no new information. and i'm sure they would be between one as well and then said oh look at me peace one such nep was likely to miss key. he also helped organize and complex events. he says he'll bring bikes investigation into the eu high representative for foreign affairs catherine ashton. i know that right t

anyone coming back from syria can be stopped and thrown into prison. 16 were blocked in this way. this is important for the united states. eu an easier time. and authorities have a few other things in their favor: there is fighting in the group and they are dying on the battle field. 23 brits have died and that american i mentioned was killed about two-months ago. >> this is when you hope the terror list watch works and the nsa surveillance is always working. we will see, greg, thank you very much. >>> the stunning death of oscar-winner actor philip seymour hoffman from what is believed to be a heroin overdose is putting the spotlight on something that is cheaper than other. 20 bags and needles were found in new york city. but the rise is being talked about all over the country. we have dr. mark siegel and a professor of medicine dr. daniel bobar who is a certified addicti addiction. thank you. there has been stories from kentucky about the rapid rise of heroin abuse. a man in long island died from it. vermont as well. and more widespread use from new jersey. look on the screen: 2007-2012, the number of users up 80%. from 2

as the world stands by and watch as this, where does this leave the united states? might we see the u.s. and perhaps the euthere is the threat of additional sanctions and restriction on travel for ukrainian leaders, maybe targeting them specifically. i would like to get the investors take on that. it does not see my there is a huge amount of influence we can apply at this point. ambassador, what can the obama administration do to alter what is happening on the ground in the ukraine if anything? >> the u.s. government tools are limited. they took one step yesterday announcing there were 20 more visas band targeted at regime officials who had engaged in force. hopefully, the european union when they meet later today will announce parallel sanctions but i would hope that the u.s. government and the european union would take a further step in that would be to use targeted visa and financial sanctions to go after people in the inner vich toaround mr. yanuko get them to think they have to persuade him to adopt a different course. oligarchs who have properties in london and vienna and want to travel there and the
