Friday in our news wrap, Ukraine escalated its standoff with Russia. President Petro Poroshenko closed the border to all Russian men ages 16 to 60, saying he wants to prevent fighters from joining rebels in the eastern part of Ukraine. Also, in Brussels, hundreds of people rallied to protest rising fuel prices and high taxes. Police fired tear gas and high-pressure hoses at the crowd.
