iraq's president calls in the occupied city of fallujah to expel islamist rebels that seized the city on friday as the army gathers forces for four was sold on the extremist. greenland opens its pristine arctic territories to oil companies for the first time as a country seeks cash and independents are he looks at the debate sparked by the decision. britain's prime minister toughened up their rhetoric on immigration but too little too late says he's say his critics who claim is only looking for votes. but searching international coming to live from moscow with me marina joshie

welcome to the program iraq's prime minister is calling on the residents of the city of fallujah to drive out insurgents the city has been occupied by the militants since friday when they declared an islamic state that has the army prepares for a major assault on the city with several air strikes already carried out our disposal here has details. elements with al qaeda links have overrun the iraqi cities of ramadi and thousands of residents are fleeing these area as government forces launch airstrikes and fire artillery shells the iraqi prime minister nuri al maliki has vowed that government forces will not leave this area until all these extremist elements are to quote him eliminated but he does admit that for now the government has lost control in these cities in recent days the militants received a boost as they were joined in the fight against the baghdad government by sunni tribesmen and what is interesting is that it marks

a change from the years prior to the u.s. withdrawal when major sunni tribes turned against al qaeda what we witnessing now is that they join forces with these al-qaeda groups against the shiite led government now the american administration has been slammed for creating the situation there are many who predicted that once the u.s. forces withdrew from iraq they would be a vacuum that would be created and that this would be fulled with extremist elements the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has promised support for the baghdad government that he has ruled out the possibility of boots on the ground he has said that the u.s. would not send troops back to that country to quote kerry he says that this fight is the fight of the baghdad government iran has also said that it is prepared to me and military support to the baghdad government and say troops to help fight al qaida there while in neighboring syria the al qaida fighters who are embattled with the syrian president bashar assad in recent months have been gaining ground and

gaining strength. as of the first time fallujah has been at the center of the violent battles jury in the war in iraq it became a stronghold of sunni anti-american resistance and co cache was one of those who fought in fallujah and the time anything so what we are seeing now i think because of political mistakes of the past i have come a long way since my time in illusion in two thousand and four and been able to step back and you know i've been involved in a lot of various efforts here in the united states to help veterans out with p.t.s.d. and things like that so i think it's it's as if it's incredible to see that you know a lot of the predictions that those of us who understood what the war was about at least figured out and we got home coming true now because when you understand the nature of war as a racket you want to stand the true motivations behind the united states and variation occupation when you want to stand what kind of puppet government was

installed in iraq your stand it was really only a matter of time before this happened now we spoke to the president of the u.k.'s arab lawyers association and he says the country's prime minister and his cabinet have completely failed to save the country from ruin the hasn't been able to stop terrorist acts which is the taking the lives of the civilians involved that he is now accusing the guy there which is someone else that being the one who is causing it he is the government is totally incapable of controlling she didn't go that did south except the people that are being put and very tight slot because the government is allowing people to go out beating anybody who comes out in the street even raising their voices this is really a tragedy. well the un says two thousand and thirteen was the bloodiest year in iraq since two thousand and eight was more than eight thousand people killed in the

turmoil r.t. dot com has a special section dedicated to keeping tally of the violence in the devastated state and the human cost of pace every month. grillin has given a green light to oil exploration of the northeast of the country and area previously untouched by industry the move comes as the cash strapped country searches for a way to fix its economy and given the parents are just like your chefs he takes a close look at the pros and cons of the decision. drilling and oil exploration off

the western coast of the country particularly baffin bay has already been underway for some time by the likes of shell chevron and exxon mobil but b.p. and its partners will now explore the m.r.o. concession in the north east which amounts to thousands of square kilometers some believe there may be a huge reserves of oil there up to one hundred ten billion barrels potentially the largest in the whole of the arctic the decision of greenland leadership is a complete u. turn from what it said only nine months ago when a moratorium on any further drilling was imposed due to environmental concerns the latest move is understood to be tightly connected with greenland strive for independence from denmark for now it's been relying solely on its faltering fish industry and grants from copenhagen but it's also known to have vast reserves of diamonds gold rare metals as well as having the world's second largest reserves of fresh water but clearly it's the black gold which could make greenland both economically and politically independent and the government is happy to have more international oil giants on board to boost these ambitions however not everyone is

a thrill to colleges have already blasted the move pointing at b.p.'s checkered record describing the arctic environment as very fragile they say that even a minor oil spill in the crystal clear waters of greenland could cause a major disaster b.p. officials say they will take several years to carefully prepare for the challenging exploration work given the intensity of environmentalists criticism it's almost guarantee that this period will be marked by the protests of those opposed to any drilling in the arctic by letting oil companies into its waters greenland has joined a race for arctic resources a race in which many nations are already competing narratives are gay from modern anson institute in norway explain to me why that region has become so important. well i guess we're all recent climate change that makes the arctic ocean ice cover melt at. a record high paced however i also think technology is well less prices are gas and natural resources overall matters

a lot and explaining this new interest as well as activity taking place in arctic most of these resources are actually within in dispute. sovereign states control so i think we should and. should more look at the economy and it rather than the potential scramble and clash between states when it comes to utilization here and my colleague kevin owen discussed the environmental debate over the drilling in greenland where the greenpeace activists and he believes that it would be impossible to clean up their afternoon while spillane that the government should look for other economic solutions. it's new technology to clean up the spill not sure whether it's because this colds means that you would have to remove all the all the oil manually bilby no not for that predation and you won't be able to use technologies in my mince like the greenlandic ones extraction of oil and gas would

of course though give greatly as a color a much needed boost so should the country really be denied these cave results is because of environmental concerns that you up will be addressed anyway i want to me clear that that is not by development agenda and we fully believe the agreements to greenham the population has a right to development but we disagree that oil drilling would be the way to go if you look at the consequences and the risks not only for the environment for but for example the fishery state so you agree it is just should be interest say if they can find wants to believe sound and financially feasible scale industrial projects that should be sufficient for. the contras economy. and coming up on our senior national shake on the cheap or italians feel the financial pinch pennies goods are replacing the country's famous brand me.

welcome back to society international the u.k.'s prime minister is pushing for a cap on european immigrants to britain he also says there needs to be cuts to welfare for migrant workers but critics claim david cameron is simply trying to win over voters who are increasingly leaning to the right artist her for three fords this is part of these wider plans that the prime minister has to renegotiate britain's relationship with europe and the prime minister insisting that he had already made progress on those renegotiation plans he came under some ridicule on twitter from the ukip leader nine to four hours he said david cameron seems to be trying to sound like me the difference is that i believe what i say now of course that might cause some confusion amongst the public and it's felt by many that the conservative party line on immigration has been somewhat confused because he's had

the borders opening up. garia romania at the beginning of the year and say possibly a bit of confusion the prime minister's strong words over what his plans for the future are with that renegotiation and of course the big question is that whilst the prime minister might be saying all of this putting these very tough plans on the table the big question remains as to whether the e.u. would accept these terms of renegotiation and a lot of people feel that quite simply that won't be acceptable to the other members of the among those who are saying so is of course you case independence party you say brussels will not give britain what it wants. if he wants to make the changes that he suggested he has to actually get treaty changes and agreement from all the countries and they've already had the european commission in the form of a row so he said that won't the only clear solution is to get your control of your borders back in order to do that you have to leave the european union politicians

not listening to people in the streets of or into places around the country go to lincolnshire for example they are telling us that they have difficulties in the community because it's changed now that it's not being racist is actually being realistic and listening to those people all that we suggesting you keep is that anyone who comes to this country has to be able to afford to work a pay taxes and contribution to this country but we have to have a sensible immigration policy which brings the best in and ensure that they stay here and pay for the future of this country in the same way that indigenous people do now want to be in the guinness book of world records had to r.t. dot com where you'll find out how women are as dead so just by taking a dip in the sea in the middle of winter plus. could the rise of the machine be led by drones the u.s. military predicts that in a matter of years on manned aircraft will be able to carry out missions without human command get the details on.

though the animal has been spotted on the russian caucasus a few times there is no viable leopard population there our program is designed to start the new population of the persian labyrinth in the caucasus mountains and to restore the species in its natural habitat there has been success here two cups born at the national park in july with the first ever born in captivity. their parents have been brought in from lisbon zoo in portugal to to the us with them to get used to their new home and each other. the connection wasn't to mediate but it didn't come and then for his kids it was captured on camera the health of the family will be wanted today using g.p.s. chips well the next twenty years all in all the center now has ten leopards it's home to this group can lead to a resurgence called the species the leopards live in a temporary open eight cages in the reserve which i quipped with cameras there

observed closely while the adept before being released into the wild their food is pigs and leaves in the cages to show up in out their hunting skills. one cob that wasn't shy about cameras was groom his mother neglected him after he was born now the keep his act as falls to parents taking him for walks feeding him and giving him extra love and attention because. now graham he is only six months old he's pretty happy and he will be here making sure that there's more of him out of this nature park to bomb would say in so she's a nature park forty and tomorrow will be just a month before the winter olympics as our channel will get an update from the organizing committee had a much more so stay with us here national for our special coverage.

now in the midst of a financial storm italians are turning their backs on the designer brands that have made their counter world famous and they are increasingly turning to chinese producers for cheap goods sometimes even labeled made in italy artistic or biscuit off has more. well john mark. four generations of this family have made their living from the textile business italian kashmir silk garden you name it these people have quality clothing in their d.n.a. any higher quality which fewer and fewer customers are able to afford now with this the people they they are interested in the nice things but that they have no money to buy and they go to buy

a cheap pair of boots and this is that is also why is the proud i call rubbish brad the junk food the junky clothes or as the economy struggles to go on this recession in half a century demand for a luxury goods among italians is going down but for some the crisis has provided great opportunities just like many other cities across the world rome has its own chinatown as well whole district in the center of the city filled with showing these businesses which go way beyond cities to take out and include shops or even boutiques and chinese clothes which have been spreading all around formal casual sporty every size and styles clothes and footwork are presented here and with a price tag sometimes as much as ten times lower than the competition it's flying off the shelves there is nothing to think about here i'm not going to spend my last cash under sachi i buy chinese stuff yes they make good cotton clothes sometimes

but i always check the label first and here's the punchline these chinese schools are not made in china anymore the materials are imported yes but since they're assembled here who are just lieschen allows the made it will be stamped on every item something italian companies want changed if you need chinese be. let off the proc about there we are working extensively on quality and not the. quantity but large quantity and lope. rices proved the perfect tactic for the chinese who courting to the bank of italy general at least one and a half million dollars out of italy to china you should be good it's been over our tea room. all next me the family man that was no children of his own but who still loving way raising more than seventy kids if you're in britain it's going underground with us you know times.

there are many eternal battles in society liberals and conservatives will never agree on gun rights or abortion but there is one battle that is often more generational than anything the battle for school uniforms teachers argue that uniforms eliminate a big distraction in the classroom and break up the caste systems that can evolve at school between the cool fashionable kids and the ones who can barely afford lunch like me in my younger years but teenagers will scream uniforms crush their freedom of expression and that they have a right to express who they are their individuality who has the right to dictate to them what to wear the thing they don't realize is that if the school doesn't tell them what to wear that big corporations and m.t.v. will all the cool individuals who dress alike and blindly follow all the trends are just obeying corporate marketing instead of their parents yeah for some reason it is bad if the school punishes you for dressing improperly but if the cool kids make

your life a living hell for not wearing the right brand of shoes well that's all well and good for some reason hey look at it this way school uniforms are cheap which leaves more money for parents to buy you video games being individual in your actions and not a fake individual in trendy clothes but that's just my opinion. if you've. got no opportunity. start to construct you're a long. queue don't want to be bit gives don't want to meet gangstas you don't want to be drug dealers they don't want to blow a window of time that the kid came to be we can see. you just means the boat is out of the right oh probably the hook but a.k.o. somebody with thirty rock you know. what it felt like. but i said what about that.

i don't want to die i just really do not want to die young young. i'm going to get it was terrible a moment very hard to take a. chance again there was a pattern that sax would that hurt their feelings. about. the focus. shifts. since
