:00:58. > :01:01.latest on Russia and Ukraine. Ambassadors have agreed a new round

:01:02. > :01:06.of sanctions against Russia because of its continuing support for rebels

:01:07. > :01:09.in Eastern Ukraine. The outgoing president says the new sanctions

:01:10. > :01:20.will come into force in the next few days. They are expected to deepen.

:01:21. > :01:25.They are expected to deepen Ellie penalties targeting the arms

:01:26. > :01:28.sectors. It will make it harder for state`owned oil companies to raise

:01:29. > :01:34.capital on European markets. More individuals are expected to be

:01:35. > :01:36.targeted. Russia had tried to warn off for that you sanctions by

:01:37. > :01:46.hinting it would introduce a flight and. I am joined by Brenda Kelly, a

:01:47. > :01:58.market strategist. They knew this was coming. How will Moscow react?

:01:59. > :01:59.There are hints that there will be retaliation. It will have a major

:02:00. > :02:06.affect on your lens. It will cost more for a lot of people to travel

:02:07. > :02:11.that way. In the meantime, the European Union are imposing extra

:02:12. > :02:16.sanctions on visas. It is on the financial end of things. A lot of

:02:17. > :02:20.things remain to be seen. The European Union have stated that they

:02:21. > :02:25.will reverse the sanctions if they feel that Russia is separated from

:02:26. > :02:30.these efforts. To what extent have the sanctions had an impact? It

:02:31. > :02:35.would seem that, from the point of view of those watching, Russia does

:02:36. > :02:40.not waver much when it comes to sanctions. It does not. They are

:02:41. > :02:46.very weak when it comes to the effect that they are having. We are

:02:47. > :02:50.coming to expect these retaliations. They are more dramatic

:02:51. > :02:54.than the ones imposed by the likes of the European Union and the United

:02:55. > :02:59.States. Perhaps they are holding back little bit. They do not want to

:03:00. > :03:04.go full pelt. They are keeping something back to see how they will

:03:05. > :03:11.react. When it comes to the reaction, how they react, in terms

:03:12. > :03:15.of agricultural food products going in from Canada, that had a big

:03:16. > :03:21.impact on many European farmers. It will continue to do so. The biggest

:03:22. > :03:28.issue that we could have, is there a cutting off the gas pipeline? That

:03:29. > :03:32.would have a major effect. Things like the Keating in your home over

:03:33. > :03:37.the course of the winter. This could be the problem that we are facing.

:03:38. > :03:44.We will see you later, Brenda, for the newspaper review. She will be

:03:45. > :03:50.back. I will move onto other stories. Could this be the most

:03:51. > :03:59.expensive videogame to ever be created? Destiny ` reported to have

:04:00. > :04:01.cost $500 million to make and touted as the most significant release

:04:02. > :04:04.since the next generation consoles arrived late last year. To put it

:04:05. > :04:07.into perspective, Destiny is more expensive than Avatar, the most

:04:08. > :04:10.costly movie ever made. Globally, the games market is estimated to be

:04:11. > :04:15.worth around 80 billion dollars a year.

:04:16. > :04:17.The latest sci`fi title from Bungie, maker of the popular Halo franchise,

:04:18. > :04:24.launches globally on Tuesday. The BBC's technology reporter Dave Lee

:04:25. > :04:29.went to the London launch. Destiny is a game set 700 years in the

:04:30. > :04:34.future. It is the next ten years they will be concerned about. Their

:04:35. > :04:40.older games are not selling as well as they used to. A lot is riding on

:04:41. > :04:44.it and coming ahead. The company is not taking any chances. They are

:04:45. > :04:52.spending more than $500 million on marketing the scheme. For us, it is

:04:53. > :04:59.not a risk. It is how we market the game, how we work closely with the

:05:00. > :05:04.fans. We have done all that. Destiny is a massive new game. What is it

:05:05. > :05:12.about? It is a first person shooting game. You will be involved in a lot

:05:13. > :05:17.of firefights. It is to do with whether you go in, on your own,

:05:18. > :05:21.fight with friends. We fight with other guardians in the game. You are

:05:22. > :05:30.exploring different planets and fighting the enemy. At its essence,

:05:31. > :05:34.it is a game where you are a guardian, protecting the last known

:05:35. > :05:38.city on earth. You have got to go out and explore the planets and

:05:39. > :05:45.become a legend. One of the thing that happens, the servers cannot

:05:46. > :05:51.happen with all the people playing the new name. How confident are you

:05:52. > :05:57.that that will not happen? We are absolutely confident that, once the

:05:58. > :06:00.servers are turned on, which they have been, people are playing in

:06:01. > :06:06.Australia already is that it will be a great game. We have tested it at

:06:07. > :06:12.length. We have had in excess of 4.6 million people playing. We will test

:06:13. > :06:16.the robustness of the server. If you won had a fantastic time. We are

:06:17. > :06:27.confident it will be fine. It is also a very big day for Apple and

:06:28. > :06:37.their fans. It has been for years since they introduced a new gadget.

:06:38. > :06:51.The pressure is on. What could the launch? Like this `` widely

:06:52. > :06:59.anticipated there is the new iPhone 6. It is also predicted to be

:07:00. > :07:05.slimmer and have curvy edges. Many say today is the day that Apple will

:07:06. > :07:09.finally grab consumers with the launch of a new gadget and the

:07:10. > :07:13.speculation is that it will be the iWatch. They have been talking about

:07:14. > :07:22.this for a long time but it is yet to materialise. Will we finally see

:07:23. > :07:26.this today? I hope so. We have spoken a lot

:07:27. > :07:33.about this product. It looks like it will come to market. We have seen a

:07:34. > :07:39.few iterations of watches from other manufacturers. This is about the

:07:40. > :07:44.time that he will come to market. They have been hiring lots of

:07:45. > :07:48.trained people in this area like watch designers and that sort of

:07:49. > :07:55.expertise. Yes. We had been cranking up infrastructure. People are being

:07:56. > :08:02.quietly recruited in the background. The event includes a lot

:08:03. > :08:06.of fashion people. A lot of people from the fashion press. A lot of

:08:07. > :08:15.media. There is a very big hint that it is something wearable. Not just

:08:16. > :08:22.another phone. Will it do it. The iWatch, the iPhone 6, will these

:08:23. > :08:28.really impress people? If the watch is coming, that will help. The

:08:29. > :08:33.iPhone, even if we do say the new one with a larger screen, I do not

:08:34. > :08:41.think that it will massively impress people. It is a long overdue update.

:08:42. > :08:46.The watch is the future. It is moving them into a new market. There

:08:47. > :08:55.is a lot of potential for wearable technology. Just briefly, you said

:08:56. > :09:02.to me earlier that this is an idea that was taken on board by Apple

:09:03. > :09:07.users a few years ago. Yes. When the iPod Nano came out, a lot of users

:09:08. > :09:12.got into the idea of using it as a watch. It was a small format. People

:09:13. > :09:20.started making watch straps to fit it. Very interesting. Good to see

:09:21. > :09:35.you. We will talk again about this. I want to mention that the pound has

:09:36. > :09:40.been suffering a loss. Growing investor concerns are causing people

:09:41. > :09:45.to move their currency. A lot of it comes down to the referendum. We

:09:46. > :09:49.will talk about that more. It is all over the press. I want to show you

:09:50. > :09:58.the market orders. You can see how the pound has been trading. Just to

:09:59. > :10:02.mention, in Hong Kong, it was closed for a public holiday yesterday.

:10:03. > :10:04.Japan will open as normal. We will take a look at the newspaper is a

:10:05. > :10:21.sin. `` newspapers soon. Workers seeking

:10:22. > :10:26.treatment for mental health issues should be fast tracked through the

:10:27. > :10:29.health system to prevent them from taking time off work. This has been
