Their Research Shows the number of attacks in aleppo province before the resolution marked in blue on the map numbered about 350. In red after the resolution in one year alone over 1,100 bombings. We have seen that the Syrian Government as well as other parties to the conflict have completely failed to abide by the terms of the resolution.

James bays, al jazeera, united nations. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry says russia has repeatedly lied to him about campaigns in ukraine. Russia is engaged in a rather remarkable period of the most overt and extensive propaganda exercise that ive seen since the very height of the cold war. And they have been persisting in their misrepresentations, lies, whatever you want to call them about their activities there to my face, to the face of others, on many different occasions. On the ground in ukraine both the army and the separatists are accusing each other of violating the truce. Now theres concern that the rebels are moving their focus to mariupul in the south. Capture of that port would give them access to the azof sea. Paul brennan reports. East of the location of the city of mariupul, tanks further forward is why. While the guns have fallen silent along sections of the conflict its not happening here. Bombing every day from separatists and we cant give him you cant reply to that fire . We cant we cant. You are under orders . This is fire only in one way. We were taken further forward along dry dusty lanes weaving between position he. There is no intention to withdraw them yet. Translator these tanks are on the second defensive line in case the enemy break through front line. Do you hear the sound . They might be shelling or they may be preparing a ground assault. Do you think i should just stand and watch . Just a few hundred meters back from the front line the sound of tank and artillery fire is almost continuous. Dugging new trenches. Here in the trenches east of mariupole, we have been told not to reveal the exact location of these trenches but you can see the urgency with which the soldiers are digging them. They have zero confidence that the ceasefire is applying here. The city of mariupole with its huge steel works and busy sea port was briefly captured by separatists last may before being recaptured by the ukraine forces. Of course we feel anxious but i stand here on the market every day and i see Ukrainian Military vehicles headed to the front line to help our army. And i personally think mariupole will not be surrendered. Of course we are worried when we live on the border of donetsk and see whats happening there you worry that it could happen here too and certainly a lot have fled the city. We hope our soldiers will defend us and will not let separatists and bandits into our city. We hope the other allies defend us but it would be better if they gave us weapons to defend us.

Now the Environmental Protection agency has said maybe not because of the drop in oil prices right now it wouldnt be profitable. Their warning that tar sands create 17 more Greenhouse Gas than more crude. That would be equivalent to adding 5. 7 million cars or 7. 8 coal fired power plants. Its not anything but the economics. This is more about politics than any impact the final decision will have. So i think its more symbolic for politics than it is for the economics of oil and in terms of the world markets. And so it wont make any difference the price of oil but it might make a difference in the terms of the United States ability to move forward with Energy Policy which is important.

It is a political stitchup and called out by members of this government. I totally reject any report that this is a politicized exercise and the report speaks for itself.
