a line to come for all the updates on the events in moscow. and the other spat seems to be brewing between the u.s. secretary of state and the israeli government at all started after john kerry expressed his concern over the lack of progress at peace negotiations with the palestinians mr kerry who has been holding back and forth talks with both sides says the status quo being maintained by israel is not sustainable he also warned that magic countries could seek to boycott tel aviv if peace negotiations fail now this triggered an angry response with prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that any efforts to boycott israel would be unjustified and counterproductive israel's strategic affairs minister then weighed in saying israel cannot be expected to negotiate with a gun to its head and the economy minister want to step further calling out israel's allies to stand up against those who tried to pursue anti-semitic agendas

against his country. some two thousand israelis gathered outside the western wall in jerusalem last week for prayer rally against u.s. efforts to broker an agreement two sides resumed peace talks last july the deadline has been set for april with israeli settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem remaining the key sticking point. all we spoke to see a correspondent and columnist for haaretz newspaper he says pressure from the u.s. could mean a blow for the israelis. american pressure could have many forms. and there would probably not be any direct overt physical sort of pressure but even holding off on supporting israel indeed diplomatic arena of including in the united nations security council if the police godor and claimed their right to establish a state this could also put

a lot of pressure on israel and the very fact that we see a public spat between the. obama administration and the netanyahu government this is already putting pressure on israel because israel's main strategic asset has always been its good relations with washington if this is taken from israel israel could no longer be considered the major power originally that it was considered to be for the last fifty or sixty years. following calls for greater support by opposition leaders in ukraine brussels and washington are putting together a significant short term assistance package the spite of concessions from the president yet a college mass rallies are still being held in kiev was people refusing to leave streets unless he steps down e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton says the western aid is supposed to help the countries through a transition period but the money will be dependent on

a new cranium government approving a little an economic reform and a weather investment also on the cards giants have been eager to explore the country's shale gas potential and that's god locals worried as policy here now explains. western ukraine a beleaguered battleground for american oil giants two months ago kiev signed with chevron to use this area for fracking. trembled water toxic chemicals pumped into the earth contaminated environments just some of the risks that have sparked protests against fracking in the united states and europe. now it's ukrainian farmers. who are left in the cold sweat most of the time our lakes and rivers will get dirty sporadic protests have fallen on deaf ears unable

to match the might of the fuel lobby if america comes to ukraine we can lose our position and america will control ukrainian money and business need while countries like france switzerland and the netherlands a worried enough to bend to technology the ten billion dollar deal chiffon to operate in the country for fifty years it has the right to sell the gas it up tains with quotas to other countries so all claims that ukraine will make a lot of money are in fact nonsense and in a place where i mean pointed his wife. kiev's promise of thousands of new jobs is enough bait for people next an asian forty four years old unemployed and trying to care for his sick mother. hopeful gets a job people in ukraine are not scared of work we must just learn what to do the courage for kiev is energy independence and cheap fuel for a country struggling to pay the bills even though russia dropped the cost of its

gas by almost a third to calculate the shale spoils industry experts look at precedents in neighboring poland companies promise the earth only to significantly scale back which is very high risk exposure because after the five years of exploration process companies may decide to stop. their activities because they are trying to some places where it will be that possibility to produce gas pressure on peers to keep these firms out is growing but not fast enough it seems to quell the government's desire to have its own gas whatever the cost or concerns of the people policy on our team have live coverage western ukraine. now reaching out to chevron and shell ukraine as they already say the firms will help the country achieve self-sufficiency and even enable its all an allergy exports american of our mehlis very strong and says however financial gain what come at too great

a cost for ukrainians. the process itself is war you cannot war millions of gallons of liquid laced with sand and with chemicals under super high pressures down into all these drilled holes without having a consequence this whole fracking. madness is spreading all over the planet they want to frack as many countries as possible and so more people are getting aware of it and i'm getting people here from little green europe north america africa to come here to see for themselves the science what they hear from the gas company because the gas company will admit to no problems everything is hunky dory everything is covered all the bases are covered we have nothing to worry about folks we know what we are doing. now the iraqi authorities have reportedly uncovered a laboratory fully equipped to produce chemical weapons including the highly toxic

sarin gas a lab said to belong to the islamic state of iraq and levant an extremist rebel faction that's been highly active in the country and neighboring syria defense consultant when rove says this new finding could be a game changer in the investigation into chemical attacks on syrian territory but is the proof if it was needed that these chemical and probably if they are any biological weapons are being brought in across the border if you recall last year there was a. find in iraq of chemical weapons which was not truly widely reported. and shortly after the. attacks in syria. the alleged chemical attacks. which no bodies have been found or seen. these groups obviously been crossing over from iraq into syria. there is

obvious proved government has not carried out any crimes against its own people but it's actually. sponsored terrorists that do this. well it was a member of the in the pan international commission of inquiry on syria carla del ponte to who first voiced a suspicion it was rebel forces who have used sarin gas in may two thousand and thirteen she claimed the un had strong suspicions but had not a bad time reached a conclusive findings and later in september a report by russian experts said the samples taken out of the scene of a gas attack in aleppo proved a weapon used there wasn't similar to those used by the syrian army. to stay with iraq the country's army has stepped up its bombardment on the city of fallujah reportedly had a full long ground offensive. the city was seized by militants connected to al qaida in early january and has been under

intense shelling for days the government's been holding off from sending in troops to give local tribesmen time to oust the insurgents security in iraq has been getting worse with almost eight thousand people killed in sectarian violence last year. coming up later in the program catching out the cops. being charged with assaulting a police officer obstructed arrest i could have been six months in prison and that would have completely irrevocably changed my. art he speaks to a student about how a video that went viral helped him prove misconduct carried out against him by the police. he.
