Tens of thousands attend a single until hong kong in chinas only anniversary celebration o of the tienanmen square massacre. As the violence continues unabated in ukraines eastern cities, World Leaders have gotten together in belgium to try to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Originally meant to be hosted by russia called the g8, but it was exclouded following the annexcation of crimea. Meanwhile Germanys Angela Merkel said that russia must stem violence in ukraine or face further sanctions. Reporter touching down in brussels, abraham will join other leaders of the worlds most exclusive club to talk about the country that is no longer a member. Russia kicked out in march because of its annexation of crimea so that the g8 became the g7 been. Poland celebrated 25 years of democracy. The days of empire, the spheres of influence are over. Bigger nations must not be allowed to bully the small or impose their will at the barrel of a gun or with masked man taking over buildings. The stroke of a pen can never legitimatize the theft of a neighbors land. We will not accept russias occupation of crimea nor its violation of ukraines sovereignty. Our nation also stand united so further russian provocation will ownly means more further isolation. Assuring Petro Poroshenko that the u. S. Would be committed to ukraine for years to come. This sets up a question for the rich nations of the world excluding china, who was not invited, at the cost of trade ties and energy supplies. Its the question at the heart of the g7. Agenda speaking in the german parliament, Angela Merkel said she would not hesitate to impose further sanctions if russia did not act to a rein in fighters from eastern ukraine. Hand over their weapons and stop the occupation. Reporter but at a presummit press conference, indications that no new sanctions would be decided upon now and asked what it would take for russia to rejoin the g8, it would be for the g7 leaders to agree on when and if russia has sufficiently changed its course. We will assess on a regular basis the situation, but thi is this only a suspension. Not the most resounding display of the g7s commitment to resist russia in the long term. Al jazeera, brussels. James bays, our diplomatic editor, its all well to talk about action, but what will happen. Reporter president obama arrived. They are talking about the most important meeting of the summit because talk is the situation in the ukraine. I dont think you can expect there would be any new actions coming out of this meeting. There will be strong words of solidarity with the Ukrainian Government and with the new ukrainian president , and there will be pressure, fresh pressure in terms of words on russia but no new sanctions coming out of this meeting. Thats been made clear by the leaders and briefings before they arrived here. There is suggestion, james, about the new president election that they hope will bring an end to the crisis. What are you hearing about that. Hes already briefed president obama on his plan. I think president obama will be speaking to the other leaders about the poroshenko plan. Hes only been in power, only elected 11 days ago. His plan is to decentralize power, with v a wide range of amnesty and will that help in ukraine. Youve heard the anger in eastern ukraine. Its a very big question. Not only do we have the meetings taking place, of course russia is not here. They will all move on from here to normandy on what is supposed to be a ceremonial event commemorating dday 70 years ago. But the fact that they are all in the same place and president putin will be there, i think the discussions will continue on friday when they are there for the dday commemoration. In some ways those meetings may end up more important than whats going on here at the g7. Thanks very much, indeed. Inside ukraine intense fighting force many people to flee from the eastern city of luhansk. Pro russian separatists have attacked bases which have been abandoned by government forces. Reporter after another night of intense gnashe clashes in the city some of the boys and girls ended up on the school bus without their mothers. Who is going to look after them one woman demanded. Reporter they have been driven across the border and will be found in a safe hay no one crimea. A last look at the state and country where they were born. Anxiety etched on their faces not knowin knowing what leads on the road ahead but know they will be leaving the city in war. It was a day filled with funer funerals. The people of the city and its leaders came to pay their requests to the separatist fighters who died this week the Ukrainian Government are calling their military offensive an antiterrorist operation. The base behind me is still refusing to surrender. Theyre heavily outnumbered and theyre being attacked each night. This is the National Guard base in luhansk that was overrun during fierce clashes overnight, surrounded by highrise apartment blocks. The residents here were still shocked and afraid. The treats where they take their dogge dogs for a walk. Last night we were very scared. We turned off the lights because our window overlooked th the base. Reporter the troops inside must be running short of ammunition and food. Despite promises by kiev, there has been no attempts for the Ukrainian Army to rescue them. We see the funeral of the fighter shot dead around the base. A soldier survived four years of fighting in afghanistan only to be killed in his hometown. His brother cursing the americans and vowing revenge. Do you hear mer for my brother hundreds will die. We will never forget our fighters. Reporter as a final honor a body of shots was fired over his brothers grave. The bitterest war is always a civil war. The republicathe renegade general Kahlifa Haftar was wounded. We have this report from tripoli. Reporter promising a strong response. He gave a short interview to a local Radio Station where he said he suffered minor injuries, hes fine and they remain in my spirits and will continue in their operations. As weve heard, an airstrike w where there is believed to be a group of what he calls extremists. There have been a change of tactics with suicidebombing. This has not really been used much in libya before, and i think these groups are giving a message to the former general that while hes been threatening them for the last few weeks, that they are coming back hard, and it is an issue at a moment when there is political deadlock here in the capitol of tripoli. Where there is a feeling of insecurity and no one is in charge. In tripoli a rocket propelled grenade was fired in a building. We have more from beirut. Its the first time that th they have met since 2009. They discussed lebanon and the boost to the baby niec lebanese lebanon. He pledged 51 million of u. S. Money to be given to u. N. Agencies here to help lebanon shoulder the burden of the refugees. Lebanon said it cannot shoulder this responsibility alone. They have had special elections that took place on tuesday, and he said that it means nothing. That it didnt change anything. The crisis still persists. The refugees are still there. He believes political solution is the only way to resolve it, and when he was pressed that there were all these predictions that Bashar Alassad would be overthrown, they said we cannot determine when he will be overthrown. Its for the syrian people. Turkish authorities have added syrias most powerful opposition group. The nusra front that they add to the list of terrorist organizations. There are those who are inspired by alqaeda. In december of 2012 United States list it as a terrorist organization. At the time turkey called the move premature. Now the turkish government has added nusra on its list of alqaedalinked organizations. Organizations are down playing the timing of the organization. They are updating their list to fall in line with the u. N. Security. The u. N. Did add nusra in may of last year. The turkish government denies its helping an arming groups like nusra. Analysts say this marks a change in political. There has been International Pressure on turkey since it there was a perception it was helping terrorists. Its not just that officials in the west consider these groups extremists and a threat to their own countries. Nusra is mostly made up of syrians but western nationals have joined its ranks. One of its suicidebombers grew up in florida. But there are those who believe that the group does not have an international agenda, but its aim is to overthrow the Syrian Regime and create an islamic state. Already there are reports that the man behind the shooting at the brussels jewish knew seem last week had ties to radical groups in syria. This could be the beginning of what western officials fear. Radical groups exploiting the security have a couple in syria to take the fight to syria and the u. S.

Secretary of state announced 290 million in aid to help syria. He made the announcement. The Afghan Taliban has released a video of what he says is the handover of a the u. S. Soldier to american troops. Sgt. Bowe bergdahl was held for five years traded for five taliban leaders held at guantanamo. Now bergdahl faces a courtmartial. His name was Bowe Bergdahl, and he was a deserter according to his colleagues. The soldier was handed over to his captors to u. S. Authorities near the pakistani border. But how he got to be here is the suspect of anger in his homeland. Its claimed that he deserted his post. There were officials who said that allegation and claims others died trying to save him should be looked in to rather than be speculated about. Sergeant bergdahl, i do not know of specific circumstances or details of u. S. Soldiers dying as a result of efforts to find and rescue sergeant bergdahl. Certainly i think a bit unfair to sgt. Bergdahls family and to him to presume anything. What is your name . My name is Bowe Bergdahl. Reporter it comes at a price to washington, the taliban leaders held at guantanamo. They are now in qatar, which brokered the deal. They cannot leave for a year. U. S. President barack obama with bergdahls parents by his said side insisted he would not compromise the countrys safety. His critics say this is a p. R. Coup for the taliban which has shown the u. S. Will negotiate with what it calls terrorists despite claims to the contrary. He stands trial for courtmartial. If the judges rule him guilty or not guilty, ill respect whatever decision they hand out. Reporter Bowe Bergdahl may now be out of taliban hands but he may find ultimate freedom when he returns home still el elusive. Abdullah elshamy has been in prison for more than nine months without charge. He has been on Hunger Strike for four months. His family and lawyer visited him on wednesday and said his health is rapidly deteriorating. Al jazeera has been calling for independent medical attention for abdullah elshamy. Three our al jazeera journ journalists have been held in egypt missouri, al jazeera i rejects the charges and is demanding the release of all of its journalists. The crackdown on protests at te tienanmen square 25 years ago. Reporter they have been holding this candle lit vigil every year since the tienanmen crackdown. Now its the children of those first protesters a half generation on to take on the flame. This was a tragedy, and i think i have a duty. It depends how how the peop people. Reporter the chinese democracy has been focus of an International Conference that could only happen here and not in Mainland China where all such talk is strictly controlled. Its important to remember something that the Chinese Communist party wants all the Chinese People to forget, but, in fact, was a major turning point in modern chinese history. Reporter angry perhaps, but people here were remembering this anniversary saw the counter protests. Small in number but big on revisionism saying not as many people died in tienanmen square. Tens of thousands believe otherwise. Since 1989 the numbers have fluctuated widely. But in recent years they have been able to count on crowd well in excess. People coming to commemorate the crackdown, but it seems driven by growing fear for their own political future within china. And maturing generation of local people like stephen and his friends believe they owe it to their children to instill those democratic values. We need to know what happened so that it depends on the future. With chinas increasing influence, so, too, a growing uneasiness among many that the candles one day could be snuffed out for good. Al jazeera, hong kong. Another teenage girl in india has been found hanging from a tree after being allegedly murdered in her village. We have reports. [ crying ] reporter the wails of these women have filled the village for a week. Theyre mourning the death of two young girls who were allegedly gang raped and murdered after leaving their home at night. The attack shocked the nation. Local police had refused to act because they are what is considered a low caste oh the socalled untouchables. If the authorities had wanted my daughters would have been found alive. They told me to wait for an hour and a half and my daughter would return home. But then this happened. How long can i tolerate this . Reporter so her 12yearold daughter and 14yearold cousin were found hanging from this mango tree at dawn after walking into fields to go to the toilet. He said the neighbor heard their screams but instead of helping him, the police abused and slapped him for making a complaint. There is no doubt that the incident is very unfortunate. The government has taken steps and all five accused have been arrested. The government has started a probe in the case. It is being directed to give justice to the victims. Reporter but in the village the people are angry at State Government and police to failing to protect women. These men have no fear at all. They think the government is theirs. We can catch anyones daughter and do anything. They can get away with even shooting someone. They think they can do anything to us. Reporter a steady treatment of politica steady stream has been making visits to the village promising 8,000 in compensation, but they have refused to accept saying their daughters dignity is not for sale. The families of the victims say they want the perpetrators tried and hang. They say there is no fear of the law here and punishment is the only way to stop Violent Crimes against their women. Al jazeera, india. Socalled zero hours contract in the u. K. Becoming more and more common. They are controversial because they offer workers no guaranteed employment. Here is lawrence lee. The edge of london another flash point in the conflict between employers and workers over zero hours contracts. They want to put more staff on zero hours taking away guaranteed work and benefits like paid leave. The union said its an outrage. Our members here found it a threat to their livelihood. Its cheaper to the employer. There is no stability to the employer, and its difficult to live on. Reporter all over this country businesses now offer work to people without any guarantee of how many hours a week they will get, if any. This man agreed to speak in the dark for fear of what he would lose if identified. He said he has seen the evidence of the. Ive seen people just bring in bread and slices of bread. Slices of bread. Yes, yes. Its even been reported that Buckingham Palace home of the queen is putting staff on zero hours. The palace would be by no means alone. Reporter its just that almost nobody ever used them. Yet the financial crisis here and the years that follow have given employers great and small the opportunity to completely rewrite traditional concepts of employment law. Strikingly its not even clear exactly how many british workers are on zero hours contract. Some estimates are that it could be as many as 5 million. The government said it wont ban zero hours contracts. Indeed, ministers insist they help get u. K. Businesses through the financial crisis. The number of employers deflects the ability of the british job market, and enabled them to keep operating during the recession, and to keep people in work by having that flexibility that meant rather than Companies Going bust and people being unemployed they were able to have the flexibility to see them through the tough times and come out the other side. Reporter the government continues to insist that zero hours work suits some people but very many veh they have been reduced to hardship while profits of big employers boosted. This is in many ways historic and helps to answer a fundamental question so that Companies Look good on paper while so many complain about getting poorer. Lawrence lee, london. I mean, is this doable in the modern age for the average american. I have to believe it is. Youre asking the wrong guy. I have a room full of halffinished or lamely finished maker projects of my own. Better than me. The Cigar Box Guitar looks nasty. I had to fix my daughters nintendo dx. People are realising, like sherry and mark says, the tools are accessible, its possible to do Amazing Things if you have the patients and time, and theres a graving to do something meaningful with your hands. You go to walmart and you can get anything you want, really cheaply. In some ways its wonderful that the mass produced product are available anywhere. Theres an emptiness to that, that people feel like, you know, my parents or my grandparents built stuff in their garage, or i made stuff in the kitchen. Sherry, that makes me think when we were kids, you had home ec, shop, pottery. What has it done to us, taking all those things out that get our hands on something and establish the connection between how things work and how we make it happen . Right, i think that thats the rise of, and why maker fairs are important. Its brought the celebration back into the community. I think places like tuck shop or maker space are helping to pull people together so they can collaborate and come up with new ideas. Its been a sthax spa that we its been a shame that we havent had the classes in school, and we see it through maker programs and education. Dale is a cofounder of oreilly media started maker education, Teaching College students to come in, and they are going out into the community. Was that tech shop video we were looking at, what was that a minute ago . It could be. Im told it was. Thats a big place. 17,000 square feet of every everything. Equipment. Eight locations across the u. S. Sherry mentioned maker spacers or hacker spaces. Tech shop is incredible. Its like there are these independent noncommercial spacers, hacker spacers. Thats a big part of the movement. You go to these places and without paying you an use the drill press or someone could teach you to code. Theres information sharing and tool sharing going on all over the world. Thats an important part of the Maker Movement. We asked the community what inspired the most. Dennis said a lot is driven by need. Amy its about curiosity. And there you go. What would you do with an empty wine bottle and woir. Since im a te tote ler, i have no idea. Ill probably throw it. Well meet a modern day mcgaver who transformed those items into a small business. Welcome back. We are talking about the rise of culture. Joining us is ben, founder of homemade mod earns, a business, teaching consumers how to create products. Welcome to the stream. Your company was born out of a bet much what was the wager . My background is in design. I was talk to to an Architectural Design friend and he was saying its impossible to make affordable americanmade furniture out of real materials. Everything is outsourced and you cant compete with factory production. I bet you can produce furniture. Get it to people. That was cheaper on ikia. We did that, we shared diy media constent. Where is your company at now . How has it gone for you . Its been a lot of fun. Still slowly transitioning into a fulltime thing, but the feedback from our users has been incredible. So motivating. Thats great. We have two big sponsors, and its become an effective means of creating advertising consent. Ben mentioned an idea of made in america. It feels like theres a wave of this desire to have and buy things made in america. Do you feel the Maker Movement is pushing to a return to Strong Manufacturing in the u. S. We have a lot of things working in that way. The energy costs are cheaper than elsewhere. There are trends like microcontrolers. Robots that dont care how complex anything is. You can do short runs. If you tap into a sophisticated supply chain, add in robots or Computer Numerically Controlled machines, you can produce 1 huz or 5,000 in a 1,000 are or 5,000 that you could not before. You can use materials relevant to the lobing aing market and compete with anyone on the planet that way. Thank you make shop for an amazing workshop for the students. Thank you for sending in the photo. We have black swamp still better than what i could do. We have speaking about economies, we have the director. Make a fair. Offering opportunity for us to see ourselves as consumers. You are the director. What are tangible benefits from the Maker Movement, that they can provide for small entrepreneurs. There are over 100 fairs around the world. This year we are looking about 140. It gets you connected and other people that can help with you from everything from funding, setting up a business to enabling communities. I see her running film and video from maker fair. Its like its a newfangled fair. Lisa mentioned something about nostalgia. This is what its about. Its coming together. Its sharing. Its celebrating and its having some fun. Theres an optimism that comes from maker fair and making. You cant find that everywhere. So i know through tech shop or what you can make tore do things round to maker spaces. They are actually putting it into the classroom. All of you guys worked successfully. Who are some of the makers, and what was behind the thinking . We like to say because the tools have gotten easy to use, we can run you through your own personal Industrial Revolution in 90 days, so take time off, come in, go to a maker space. Literally it takes 90 days. I might show up. Then we have over achievers, like patrick saying, what classes do i need to take to make an ipod case out of bam boo. In 90 days hed sold a Million Dollars worth. This was a Computer Numerically Controlled cast. Beautiful book binding material from a text tiles class. He did 35 million in year. Does anyone specially use it. The president of the United States carries a case, jay z. Give us another one. What is else have you got . The most successful country is square. The little pier to pier transaction Merchant Banking system. The cofounder came in, took the milling class, learnt to make the prototops, and they got 10 million in series a and got a 5 billion evaluation, 600 employees. Theyll do there 60 billion. Jack james background is a glass blower from st. Louis. We live in a day and age where james can go in, take a few class and change Merchant Banking. My favourite, this came out of a stamford d school. Jane and her team came in, after school was over, and they lost access to the cools and came in and affected the blanketed. Theres a polymer pouch in the back. It keeps babies at the proper temperature. Its designed for neonates. It had been born two weeks too early. Literally hundreds of thousands of babies die annual lip, and the idea is annually, and the idea is simply. It keeps a baby warm for four hours. Jane chan was named one of the top social entrepreneurs of the year by the World Economic forum, and this is on track to save 100,000 babies. These are the amazing innovation. Here is a comment check this out. This is a harmless drone. Bill, mark and i talked about this metaphor, the wild, wild west of innovation. We are talking about 3d printed guns, people making drones. Arent you concerned about the rogue element here . You know, i think with any technology you have the aspect where anything that you can that people can do without oversight, theyll take it in whatever direction they want. And there are people out there who are making and sharing perhaps for making, you know, making gun parts out of 3d printers. I think that exists. Its probably a real concern at one point. I dont think it represents a majority of the Maker Movement. To me, its sort of like there are always going be people pushing a limit in one direction or another. I dont think its a reason to be enterprise. The idea about unmanned vehicles you can make, there are a lot of people trying to do good with technology and making baby incubators blankets. I major you came across some people with social aspects for what they are making. Absolutely. I think on the drone area. The categories that are trending are 3d printers, and what can be done there. Wearable. Anything from electronics embedded into clothing to sensors, you name it. Drones. I think Chris Henderson with 3d robotics did a great job of going from crisping editor and founder of wired to 3d robotics, and making drones something that are not seen as, you know, terrible things, but actual tools and technologies that cap help us as we move forward. Single board computers, as markus said. Theres a whole host of things. Baby blankets. A woman in detroit. She worked with cart heart to get excess material to make sleeping bag coats for the winter, to, you name it, theres ut. Its endless. With the rise in innovation that can result, what is the future of america look like. Well have more on that when we come back. Welcome back. We are talking about the rise of do it yourself culture, and what it means for the future of innovation. How do you think it will impact the quality of the products entering the marketplace. Will we see a rise in the sophistication of things created operations . Absolutely. And i would say not only sophistication, but last year there was the first maker fair, and i have to say there were 35,000 attendees. We saw design taking off front and center. In addition to very cool products, we have cool products that are well designed. I think that we are starting to see a little bit of healthy, you know, competition between countries and makers fair. Coming. How do you see the evolution, do it yourself taking place. Whats on the horizon . I think a couple of things much one is a hobby from most people that do diy stuff. I think it has the potential to revolutionize, at least in the u. S. , revolutionize the way we do technology. It has to be easier. Right now in the u. S. , at least, its difficult to find manufacture usering, price competitive with what you can get from china. The other thing is its daunting to start a business. When you go from the prototype to i have a business and i have 4,000 or a million orders to fulfil, its a daunting jump because of regulation and complexity and overhead. A lot of this may sell out. One viewer says ben, i want to get you in the conversation. If emerson was alive he may sell pepsi and coke. Are you afraid the Maker Movement may become corporatized. No, im not. I dont think its a new thing. When you think of recipes shared for decades, things like the tollhouse cooky. Its slapped on to a bag of chocolate chips. I think the companies are starting to realise that this kind of media content is an effect ty way of driving consumption. The big advantage is that it allows consumers to be selective and consien somehows. We we some groups that want control of all the materials. I think of apple, nike, and others, starting in a garage. There must be millions of ideas that never had the avenues to take ideas turn into something. We are living in amazing time, i believe in all of whomman history human history. It doesnt just impact the diy segment, but also corporations. Ford is putting printers on every designer desk. And the reason is they can reiterate three or four times before lunch. At the end theyll reiterate 1,000 times, ending up with a Higher Quality product. When i saw innovations coming out of the marketing department, the marketing department. Well be able to create instead of 1 huz engineers, well have 10,000 engineers. Well have 100,000 people who are not engineers doing Amazing Things anyway. Everything i thought i knew about innovation and creativity coming out of my n. B. A. Did wrong. The risks are lower. Access to the markets is lower. The ability to create a product and get it out is lower. The ability to highquality design is right at the doorstep. 3d printing makes it possible for someone who is a ning um poop with tools, like me, or was. Im following your lead. It makes it possible for us to create things that are actually quite sophisticated, because all we have to do is work on the computer screen with software or. It doesnt make it easier, it just changes the tools. Everybody is so excited about see how it taps into something in our being. Thank you to all our guests. Until next time, well see you online at aljazeera. Com ajmstream saturday on the stream. The superstars. I love the underdog role, its us against the world. We have this fight and this pride to play for the country. Pushing for success. Weve gone so far forward, the games really really grown. Gaining popularity. People are crazy for it.
