Am. You see i wanted to watch him four way emergency talks and wrapped up in Geneva Switzerland aimed at resolving the deepening crisis in Eastern Ukraine top diplomats from Ukraine RussiaUnited States and the European Union spent around seven hours wrestling to compromise the situation which has been called the worst is less crisis since the end of the cold war just a short time ago president obama spoke about the us response to the crisis in ukraine like cops military options are not on the table in ukraine. Because this is not a situation that would be amenable to a clear military solution. Meanwhile violence worsened in the days before talks in south eastern city of that ilk are free from russia mountainside and thirty were wounded when ukrainian troops repelled an attack on the National Guard base in the black sea ports according to the cream interior ministry. Internet speeds up the crittenden of the Peoples Council said he wants a referendum on the eleventh ask residents if they want sovereignty and its lobby on its progress to militaries are firmly in control. U s it comes to send non lethal military eight ukraine which includes medical supplies helmets Water Purification units and power generators. Earlier i spoke with our two little kids come from geneva and asked him to take us through what happened during these diplomatic talks. Well this meeting lasted for over seven hours which is frankly much longer than initially expected but perhaps that shows how significant and complicated the situation in ukraine really is but back in the end the participants of the meeting here in geneva were able to drop a role not aimed at easing the years that the tensions there. In ukraine and doubt while eating foods that the demands for all the illegal armed groups in ukraine to put their weapons down and up to fifty two or three the buildings that the tasks are to be all set to refrain from any further violence or provocation is also an amnesty must be granted to all deeper downstairs except the bills were found guilty of capital crimes and the turn of the recent hit moss provide an effective and transparent pastiche of the form which would uphold the rights of all the regents in the country both in the west its especially in the east and southeast of the crunchy produced only one of the most turbulent of regions of ukraine. It does look good on paper but the question is how effective a walk this road map to be in rio wants to start main sticking points for instance i mean all these armed groups are simply out of control with just a look at the right center for this is one of the most radical nationalist organizations there in ukraine. Which basically was one of the main forces behind the recent uprising was the main forces which actually told the courant the forties themed gift to our question of how much control do these employees have with them right now also when it comes to reframe from further violence ends up provocations while the gap between the south seas off the train and see if the solar wind right now and then to the tensions are so high they could even be called hatreds between the cities of the groups sole strong. Its a question also what to do this. I missed even if there was introduced would that be enough to force them to stop the violence put their weapons down and so on and finally visit the big question is how effective would this constitutional reform be knowing that the colonel still isnt here for very skeptical. Also this meeting here in geneva will together so in other words what they actually fall of this roadmap. Even though its also not slanted thats before situation there and how. This would be put in real life this road map. Its mostly controlled by the International Community or the queen by the osce organization for security and cooperation in europe its representatives are there in ukraine right now but like i said there are so many sticking points that even he gets this world that does all of them well on paper its a question of how effective would be relaxed. While the lse is on the ground that is going to start taking steps to tamp down violence that weve seen what about the economic sanctions weve seen that a random friend regarding the situation. Well this is another aspect of this whole story which perhaps isnt so much the links to this situation either in ukraine itself but is more about political gains in between the west and russia sees both heard from us actor of stage and kate nigerian geneva pulling the stalks of blaming russia four of them. Much of whats happening in the south east of ukraine. Im talking about the central russian. On the groups full force but it is the big question of how the relevance of that is to the actual foul relevant winning russia is to the actual situation that in ukraine and its also question why was talking about the control how much control or whether he controlled his moscow have any control over these armed groups pro russian even on groups in that part of the country also washington is talking about how the four issue of sanctions how much zach its relevance to the situation in ukraine itself says theyre talking about either more sanctions and more pressure on moscow. If the situation continues to deteriorate for the mics with some of the sentence if he becomes better but perhaps in what many analysts have been saying they should really be focused in the two have a lot of influence on to your stories and cute pregnant perhaps they should be more focused on stopping the violence stopping the bloodshed and bed thinking about sanctioning moscow. Alright artistic are not in geneva. Thank you very much. In light of the violence in Eastern Ukraine to us the department has updated its travel warnings urging citizens to defer non essential travel to the country and all travel extensive regions including crimea ukraine government is also restricted russian men between the ages of sixteen and sixty from entering.

Tensions continued to escalate yet in ukraines east and south dakota two ladies to media reports and fourteen the siege of the hour was taken under control and Government Forces and the note that the greatest special events. It is that it also fixes it. These rates are also reports in its administration that didnt prevent it. This is probably due to its new and very unexpected. Meanwhile the planning authorities had banned all russian male citizens from sixty to sixty years old and alsoo ukrainian citizens. Abbotts registered in twenty is a sin to rope the voice of a stubborn from answering you couldnt answer this but we hear from the countries want to control the activities that most days behind all the time as he and the spots of the country and i hate being this piece measures. These restrictions wont have minimized it means that potentially most remain a threat to the many joys is healthy activities can be covering that the santa situation so we have anyone to speak to one all the up one of them who has been at the scene in this book he told us the report of the law a group of about two hundred locals approached the airport Johnson County government slogans. They were nice to be in School Self Defense forces the word of woman and they didnt have any minute to get to hear the outrage like teams decision to ban russian men aged from sixteen to sixty from entering ukraine.

He also received a video call for nsa whistleblower adverts know that i wanted answers about any programs russia may have its nukes or Services Online information. Barts correspondent alexia shots he tells us more from moscow talking about the situation in the south and east of ukraine like an abortion came up with darren criticism of tea and al thornton said that the only way out of the situation is by means of a dialogue. Clayton did not spare any words to describe the situation south east of the country and gives the moment i really love the look the way you might get calls from people in the seventies to lay down arms. I tell my partner stinky and that its a great cold chicken is cool the army away and civilians. She completely out of your money this is such a piece these tanks artillery. Its really you dont use the Austin Healey and crockett lot of questions given regarding the situation crimea the referendum and sensational and it wouldnt admit it but those were indeed Russian Troops on the ground in crimea but this was the only way for the referendum to be held and to avoid any sort of bloodshed because nobody had to take measures to prevent the situation from developing the wait is now in Eastern Ukraine with tanks and well um radical nationalists. Of course behind the self defense units of crime eons we had our service men they acted very recently. The same time decisively and professionally. Another thing you ever question coming from i well no matter how full the nsa whistleblower edwards noted i can during his twenty sessions he asked whether boss is conducting a massive online surveillance asking for the personal data online which is said that of course certain cases like that exists but this is the only opponent this is an oboe quartet and russia has no mass faces of online surveillance. The bazaar to corresponding alexia shops key for moscow. Its not as far as im backing down it comes to handing over his sons information the government wanted to be encrypted e mail service used by snowden has lost its appeal to a contempt of court ruling applied earlier draft the government had issued an order to access meditated on accounts thought to be students of lettuce and found her mother that refused to comply and was then found in contempt of court the government had previously forced him to provide Encryption Keys to the security Mailing Services part of its investigation of snowdon.

Well really we realized based on what happened. Just because i dont have access doesnt mean the feds can gain access the judge who denied the appeal so that the courts decision was made because of a procedural error of the appeal. Well the pentagon is not too keen on plans to cut the worlds most expensive military action in a report released this week the us the common defense has plans to cut the militarys budget by fifteen billion per year through twenty twenty three with the us gambling with military readiness. And a statement the state department parents for the department of defense said. Overall the report says the question level cuts would result in a military that is too small to fully meet the requirements of that strategy thereby significantly increase the National Security risks both in the short and long term. These budget cuts will be made to what is by march the most expensive military in the world. In twenty thirteen us made up thirty seven percent of all Global Military spending and laos the frustration is producing those expenditures the drawdown of troops in afghanistan is also bringing down spending. But as our cheese making lopez reports are still eight hundred military money sitting in the desert of afghanistan were talking right now probably at least twenty to thirty thousand people involved just simply in the breaking down moving in to put it back to us. Its the countdown to draw down at the end of the year nearly all us Troops Police afghanistan before they head out the military must decide what to do with everything from microwaves to the max should scrap or sell them well pentagon officials are largely clouds again in the Afghan National armys capability. We have seen increasingly used Afghan Forces that are capable of shooting the week. There are Major Concerns about leaving the equipment behind like they iraq by a monster but the us left six hundred Million Dollars worth of military equipment to iraq which included vehicles to transport soldiers and tanks and some Army Vehicles like zombies. Rock as per reports from the us military equipment worth ten billion dollars. Thats because of rob had a well established army before the u s attorney i served in the former iraqi army general and air defense police. I worked until the fall of baghdad the iraqi army before u s invasion had great capabilities especially after the iraq iran war afghanistans army on the other hand was mostly comprised of local tribes before the us to day and still struggles to perform missions on excel. Before the us intervened to the afghan army. I really did not exist. To the extent that it does today. The Afghan National army is essentially one of the first efforts in afghanistan to build up a National Security institutions thus barriers also make an email for the equipment to the afghans difficult because it was designed for English Speakers but the only wage more than half of the Afghan Security forces are functionally illiterate he can read street signs. They can read maps this is a big problem. A huge problem for any military institution any Security Institution particularly international National Army whatever is left to the army also risks being stolen by the columbine. I think is the very strong fear eighteen in washington that would probably not even publicly in a lot of these large heavy weapons tanks helicopter gunships things like that. They can very easily end up in the wrong hands in a country like afghanistan. The pentagon tries to find a new home for some of the happiest equipment is also looking to afghanistans neighbors like pakistan india and uzbekistan as possible by yours pakistani officials have expressed keen interest in acquiring the armys mine resistant ambush protected vehicles or am i out for short. But in a region rife with distrust. Common complaints the weapons could just as easily end up on him and has demanded the west not to provide equipment to pakistan. A request washington has largely been like. Even if some is acquired by these countries there will still be a lot of crying. The rule. He was running fast food franchises like burger king and dairy queen and over six billion dollars worth of everyday items. Things like tables and desks in the microwave. It will be scrapped. We built Little Americans. If you will in these countries. Thats why you have so much there we made life very comfortable for our soaps with the assumption that we would stay and you think that we brought too much equipment to afghanistan all absolutely hot it was only when we decided to wear to make the Afghan People more like us. When we decided were going to bring all of america to them as we chatted this huge influx of Technology Equipment and other things which really i would argue put us in harms way more than actually help results for storage and former marine david reese disagrees. After being a guy on the ground. I did three tours in iraq what that goes for the military mission is the key to the flexibility to prosecute cops. No doctor or mission um not just a single wave based on the equipment you have a cool sunday was most in a december deadline the more pressure the military will be under either ship scrap or solve these relics of war. It is only a question of who will get the equipment but what will be done with it as the so called Little America is or over three hundred military bases in all moved back to afghan hands in from the pentagon and make him up as artsy. Geologists in ohio plates beneath the Appalachian Mountains mainly caused by tracking. A state investigation into five tremors last month and youngstown area found that the process of injecting sand water and chemicals into the ground to release oil and gas could have triggered the quakes this is the first time comers in the region and links to this part of the tracking process.
