Hello im Terry Larsen Good to have you with us moscow has shrugged off suggestions by european officials that it could face fresh sanctions over the crimea Crisis Tensions have escalated between moscow and kiev after russia sees three Ukrainian Naval vessels in a skirmish on sunday at least a dozen sailors have been detained for trial ukraines president has warned its neighbor is preparing for war and has turned up turned to berlin for help. Speaking on Ukrainian State Television president Petro Poroshenko said he turned to
berlin after the kremlin failed to respond to his request for dialogue it wasnt. Immediately that night i ordered a Phone Conversation with the president of russia vladimir putin. We did not receive any response and i had to turn to the german chancellor so that she could talk to prudent on the Immediate Release of ukrainian servicemen and ukrainian ships. Poroshenko also said the authorities would take all necessary steps to release the ukrainian sailors detained on sunday when russia ceased three vessels off the crimean coast captured sailors appeared in a Russian Court and were charged with unlawfully entering the country carrying weapons they face up to six years in prison. Earlier other sailors were shown on Russian Television saying they had deliberately entered russian waters as a provocation kiev denounced what it described as forced Confessions Moscow accuses
kiev of sparking the sea skirmish to boost support ahead of an election. Most probably this provocation took place in order to achieve certain political decisions which are beneficial for the current president of ukraine. If. Ukraine accuses russia of illegally capturing its ships and sailors off the coast of crimea president Petro Poroshenko now Claims Moscow is preparing for an invasion together with the countrys parliament he has imposed martial law in the regions bordering russia for thirty days. Fundamentally the whole martial law is. Getting the resources together. For everybody here in ukraine to understand. Hes our hero place whence the russians come for us president poroshenko insisted the meshes wont interfere with
elections should yield for much but his decrees causing concern and confusion in the capital kiev for ukrainians its unclear what changes martial law will bring offer a four year standoff with russia peace seems the distant outcome. Over the latest on this developing story lets cross over to our correspondent nick conley in the ukrainian capital kiev nick there are reports that russia is deploying new surface to air missiles to the Crimean Peninsula and ukraines president reportedly claims that russia is concentrating troops at the border is this conflict escalating good morning terry well these are obviously worrying developments but we have seen similar build ups in the past before during exercises Russian Military exercises so at the moment hard to tell whether or not this is more serious or if this is just posturing
a expression of dissatisfaction from moscow what is worrying about this conflict in general is that this is the first time in the last four years that ukraine and russia have faced off so directly the rim of the conflict between the Ukrainian Government and russian backed separatists not the Russian Military per se at least. They dont operate openly as russian soldiers there so this is different youve saw them face off in the straits shots being fired and this could potentially escalate very quickly and after that Confrontation Nic of course russia finds itself holding several ukrainian sailors whats going to happen to them. Well yesterday they were sentenced so they were given two months in detention for illegally crossing the border there were suggestions that they might have faced more charges with potentially longer sentences than illegally crossing the border i
think the legal details less important now if some kind of solution or resolution is found we might see a humanitarian solution that resolution to this issue that brings them home earlier than that they are now essentially hostages of a much bigger political game and when they get back to their families is anyones Guess Well Nic its in everyones interest of course to be resolved what about the diplomatic front whats being done to resolve this crisis peacefully. Well as we heard in the report there the extraordinary scenes on the weekend of president poroshenko at least saying he had trim a deaf its to call the kremlin and that call not being returned yesterday we heard from the Foreign Ministers of germany france offering official mediation that was turned down by moscow but i think its very difficult to see any resolution to this that doesnt happen via some kind of International Mediation because on a bilateral level kiev and moscow just arent talking to each other nic thank you

Ah the report says that big if one is in the crowd and National Climate plant is implemented we would be looking at three to three point two degrees Global Warming in towards the end of the century and it would have devastating effects and its important to remember that these global and global average use they hide a lot of difference is between continents and countries and also they imply a huge increase in the extreme events and the theyre right because you probably
change that were already seeing it would have devastating consequences and especially on areas and put elations not already very vulnerable so its really not know what we want to.
