Stop say witnesses. And indias elections what is at stake for the Worlds Largest democracy. The conflict in ukraine is entering a dangerous new phase. Gunshots are being fired in the east, and take overs of government buildings are getting aggressive. Here 20 armed men tomorrowed a Police Headquarters firing shots one of several buildings taken over today. The uniforms on the protesters are ukraines riot police, raising questions about whether the demonstrate juniors are russian or you demonstrators are russian or ukrainian. Ukraine said it is sending more soldiers to the region to stop further occupations. Kim vinnell is on the ground in donetsk with the latest. This is slovyansks base for local officers, now in the hands of prorussian activists. More than a dozen gunmen, many with professional grade weapons go in and out of the building. Its unclear who they are, or were they come from, and how many may be waiting inside. Outside the building supporters gathered, saying the interim government is legitimate, and the referendum on autonomy from kiev. Translation our people want to live quietly and peacefully without the junta that seized power in kiev, so we are not under power from kiev, we dont want to be their slaves, we want to be with russia. Supporters rallied around the gunmen, helping them fortify. They are pulling out tires to reinforce. People are arriving, bringing supplies, handing them over to people. Now very much in control of the building. Just moments after being told to film people so they can show their support. A mob of protesters turned on us, attempting to take our camera. Rebasing to donetsk after nightfall, it seemed as if a rerun of crimea was under way. Checkpoints littered the road. Armed men stand guard. Donetsk, prorussian protests continued. Activists remain in control of the state administration building, and maintain they are the true representatives of the people. Ukraine is no mans land now, and people in the south they want to take power in their hands. Translation we are with the people, but we are also with them. Its been a week since protesters seized the administration building, and an ultimatum has come and gone. People are organising themselves and say they are pushing forward with a plan for a referendum for the republic of donetsk. An emergency session of the Security Council is underway in kiev as authorities raple with the takeover kiev has a difficult task on its hand, on the east it is spreading fast. They are urging the kremlin to stop destabilize ukraine. Vice President Joe Biden will calm fears when he travels. More from washington. We turn to tom ackerman. The statement from the national Security Council called on Vladimir Putin to seize tactics which were aimed the creating a destabilizing situation in ukraine, and actually inciting sabotage against that state. It said that it was a theme with the efforts to invade. Establishments in Eastern Ukraine were reminiscent of what was scene in crimea, just before the referendum supported by the russians, and there upon the appeal for annexation by russia, and all this comes, overshadowing the outlook for the meeting scheduled on thursday in geneva, at which the Ukrainian Government, the e. U. , and the United States are expected to meet with the russians, and seek a diplomatic understanding, however the russians are accusing ukrainians of threatening prorussian elements, and russian speakers inside ukraine, and for their part they are saying the meeting is what is happening on behalf of the government. I spoke with william pomeranz, and i asked whether he thinks russia is trying to take over Eastern Ukraine or taking over the government. They want to weaken it and cause problems. The question is does it want to intervene. Now, since there are these various, what seem to be coordinated protests in Eastern Ukraine, what response is there from the ukrainians. It chose to stand down during crimea, and not to provoke the russians, and give russia a pretext for intervention. I dont think the same reasoning whether hold in Eastern Ukraine, and theres every indication that the interim government is going to try to formulate a response, and mostly a military response. And that, obviously, will escalate the crisis. What is the other alternative. What can ukraine do to regain control of the cities if they do in the send soldiers. The idea was that ukraine would wait out the protests, and that would occur when the protesters occupied the buildings in donetsk. The waiting game doesnt appear to be working to the Ukrainian Governments favour. The wait and see, or wait them out approach is not going to work. Now its clear that the Ukrainian Government is going to have to organise its own Security Services and try to regain control of Eastern Ukraine. William pomeranz there. Russian supporters are living in Eastern Ukraine. The Syrian Government rebels are blaming each the government for a gas attack. The video is graphic. It looks like the usual Bombing Campaign in syria. But according to activists these barrel bombs dropped contained toxic chemicals. According to witnesses the chemicals went airborne. People were ferried in ambulances, the person recording the video is coughing. Others are covering their months, we cannot independent lit verify the videos. There was an attack, they blamed opposition fighters. Translation in the hamas suburbs two have been killed and 100 injured in a chemical attack by alnusra. They attacked a village. We are aware they are claiming out more attacks. Act visits said many died in this activists said many died. Children and adults had difficulty breathing as they had inhaled something toxic. It was not the only reported chemical attack. On friday. Opposition said poison gas and pesticides were dropped on the outskirts of damascus. Syrian National Coalition says several similar attacks happened, and it wants the world to take action. A statement says the International Community the asaad regime missed a series of deadlines to destroy the chemical weapons stockpile, and agreed to destroy toxic weapons after hundreds were killed in a chemical attack. Syria had more than 550 tonnes of chemical weapons, even after more of the arsenal has been destroyed. The asaad government the civilians are caught up between the government bent on exerting its authority. Iran tonight says it will challenge a move to deny its ambassador a visa. The u. S. Refused Hamid Abutalebi entry saying he was involved in the u. S. 1979 hostage crisis. He insists he was a translator. He served as a diplomat in belgium, australia and italy. We discuss this with abbas milani. Thank you for being with us, why are we digging in this fight. It appears both sides are digging in. Why . Especially when we are finally seeing a thaw in the relations between two countries. It is true, one is wondering its one of those decisions. Im trying to figure out the decision. Mr row handwrittenie and others rouhani and others have declared themselves a winner in the nuclear matters. This nomination can only lead in a lose lose. The Obama Administration will not succumb to the iran pressure, and iran will become a loser either way. If they persist. Theyll have a seat at the united nations. And they will seem to be going back to a bankrupt policy that is the occupation of the embassy, the foreign embassy. If they were moderately involved, i have no reason to doubt the story. Still, believing that someone who was marginal by involved in an illegal occupation of the city can be the representative of a putin government. Professor, weigh both sides. Iran says its a seasoned diplomat. He has served in europe, in other countries. United states says that he was involved with the hostage takeover iran says its not quite true. When you weigh both sides, who has the better points . Well i think both sides have legitimate points, but the u. S. Points overrides it. United states has committed to granting visa to u. N. Representative. Those laws were passed long before the idea the country could take over an embassy, and keep diplomats hostage for 400 days, before it took place. If the law was written today, i think the new status would exclude those moderately involved in such events. Do you think iran is seeking a poorly informed decision, or its a deliberate insult to the United States . That, to me, is the question. Some think it was a choice forced on mr rhouni forced on him by mr karm eeny who doesnt want the talks to continue. He wants to yav the United States and obama yav the United States and embarrass the United States and obama. I dont know how they arrived at the decision, but i think it was foolish. Do you think it will spiral into something more, and Impact Nuclear talks . I doubt that. Just yesterday, irans time, mr rhouni declared that the Nuclear Talks should go on and proceed. He knew then clearly that the United States had indicated privately that they were not going to issue visas. The sabre rattling, diplomatic sabre rattling, i think, is essentially a show for the home. They have decided to continue the nuclear negotiations. Quickly here, who do you think will bliping first in the de blink first in the debate. Depends what you mean by blink. If you mean continue on the nuclear negotiations, iran has blipinged. Yes blinked. They want to continue. If blinking means giving a visa, i doubt the Obama Administration is in a position to grant the visa. Thank you for your insight. Also in iran, the court overturned the death sentence of a former u. S. Marr each, amir hekmati was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was arrested for spying. He and his family insist on his innocence, he was there to visitities grandmother. The middle east had a series of setbacks. The arab league is encouraging america to continue.

Its unclear why the truck crossed over into oncoming traffic on thursday. In the meantime we are learning about the people aboard. Morgan radford has more on that. Marisa and Marisol Serrato were inseparable until the moment they boarded different buses attending the same college they were attending toot. They were first.
