Plus, a special day of freedom here on bbc exploring your perception of freedom and how it compares with reality. Hello. Less than a month after russias annexation of crimea, ukraine has approved a series of military exercises with nato this summer, which could see tension rise still further. Ukraine is not currently a member of nato, although its been a partner of the alliance the last 15 years. The Crimean Parliament approved two sets of military exercises with the United States, something that caused friction with russia in the past. Lets go to our correspondent david stern who is there.
