Just at the point that seemed to be building to the apogee of the speech, the feed ended for me. Anybody else?

2. Ended in the UK as the applause died down.

I don't think he does encores.

3. It ended for me before the end of the speech, in mid-sentence

4. Now that there is a common bogeyman ...

6. Meanwhile in Ukraine....

Right wing radical groups go around Kiev beating and harassing people for wearing pro Russia ribbons.

Another huge peaceful Pro Russia demonstration in East Ukraine. Notice no radical right wing hooligans. Instead it is mostly middle aged and older more mature people.
