your ex-girlfriend still paints tear jerking poetry keep count nora's. we post only what really matters out r.t. to your facebook you st. it's eleven o'clock no hear of moscow this is our take tonight ukrainian army reportedly drops band in century forms on the dissenting east of the country kiev denies those claims while moscow appealed to the un security council to end the violence. russia's gas problem accuses ukraine of resorting to absurdity and blackmail saying kiev caused the breakdown of gas price talks by insisting any deal had to be on its terms. ruthless jadis group in iraq reportedly captures the best u.s. military hardware left behind after the invasion sweeping across the country's north successful offensive and now with baghdad the site. and the resulting

no to g.m.o. is heard across the e.u. with member states could soon get the right to bypass brussels. good evening i'm kevin o. and this is art international coming to you live and we're starting with this this is the view of the sky above the eastern ukrainian city of slavyansk last night its residents woke up to what they claim were incendiary bombs being dropped on their heads that is a weapon banned by the u.n. in kiev denies its use but here's what local residents told r.t. international. well we all saw what happened here yesterday they used rocket launchers as well as insincerely bombs against us the ground was on fire ground

burned by itself it burned for about forty minutes. from ten am everyone every man has such a sore throat all the time i think this is because it was burning i think will feel their true consequences later there are still people out here it's a lot of children we haven't you know. i spoke to charles hsu bridges a former army intelligence officer he says this attack bears all the signs of white phosphorous use i've seen the video i've looked at it closely it does indeed. what one might say. the hallmarks of white phosphorous use for example a very bright light and multiple burns coming down from the sky it's never going to use such as a mortar or perhaps from an aircraft and then of course again the telltale still burning the videos i've seen in the daytime sharing actually this very tactile white a gray smoke so white phosphorus being used as an alarming development of course it

needn't necessarily be illegal but it depends on the concern and that's exactly why of course a lot of and indeed other people even from the west should be even if they haven't so far should be calling for a pop in for an investigation of this incident to prevent the escalating violence itself scorsone industrial city with a population of over one hundred thousand people it's been a focal point of the government's crackdown on the said it's put on the regular artillery fire for weeks now russia submitted a resolution to the u.n. security council calling for an end to the violence and an investigation into the use maybe of banned weapons. it calls on all the parties to refrain from actions and then during the live the security of the civilian population civilian infrastructure and if humanitarian goods it goes on them to immediately and violence and agree to a sustained cease fire in fact we also have a difference a new disturbing phenomenon there is there is news there are reports about the use

of white phosphorus munitions in the course of fighting by the ukrainian side. we develop there should be international attention. but again describing first the dangers of white phosphorous. it will burn right through somebodies body right to the bone and i also want phosphorus cannot be put out by use of water it needs sand or some other. material to actually suffocated from burning to cut off the oxygen supply but there is a problem as well if there is going to be large amounts years it is also a poison for example it can be used. for large amounts or it might be said to contaminate water supplies and so on but it would take quite a lot of it being used in those circumstances it's mainly a question that this is if it's indiscriminate use in urban areas as appeared to be the case last night and it needs proper investigation then this may well be unlawful but in any case it's a startling development of

a fearsome one i whether it's strictly pound or not in these circumstances there were similar arguments over the israelis use of it in gaza for example that is an escalation of this for an award it's involving civilian casualties. meantime white flags and big letters reading children didn't stop shells being fired at two buses evacuating children from slavyansk at least three people were injured in that attack buses full of children other vulnerable people leaving the city on a regular basis of the two targeted this time bomb was knocked over completely trapping an elderly woman and a daughter in savile the second managed to continue on its route local anti-government forces say the ukrainian army carried out the strike tens of thousands of desperate people were ready fled ukraine across the border to russia the head of the organization for cooperation and security in europe has visited a crowded refugee camp in the southern city of stoff where he saw for himself the plight of those who fled the fighting he pledged to everything in his organizations

power to stop the conflict but his claim that ukraine's new president wants the country to prosper was booed by the refugees. i. i i i. have. you. seen the movie was. a huge. reports of violence are coming in from the secret on a daily basis but the regular army isn't the only force doing the government's fighting there the backbone of the military assault was formed by national guard conscripts now though entire units are heading back to kiev they say they're paid and they do they've been abandoned by the government. motion musselburgh on the backs of those that may or may use according to official papers we don't exist

we're in the allusion it's like we haven't been deployed here we haven't got any ammunition nothing we were sleeping on the ground because we didn't even have cans they just sent us there and forgot about us and while all the generals and commanders were sitting pretty in the intense guarded by the us they'd be sees who were sent to fight like cannon for their. fish. so to show us we haven't been paid with our own six hundred door sort of rubble here two months ago and sit when you have any food instead they've been feeding us with promises that it's going to happen tomorrow which we are tired of waiting. broken promises and failed expectations in about twenty minutes of fatalities xander boyd and her guest discuss what's changed for the ukrainian people now that they've got a new president in the latest edition of worlds apart. now i know that you've just returned from ukraine does it feel like a whole new country compared to the previous times you visited it no i think that

would be overstating the fact it is true that there is a great deal of hope among that this is a fresh start but equally people's memories are longer than seven or eight years and for many it's just the same old thing one oligarchy has effectively replaced another. another big strands of this the energy side of it gas ukraine's interim prime minister's deliberately scuppered gas talks with russia that's according to their gas problem moscow says kids uncompromising insistence on massive discounts affectively killed off the negotiations with the e.u. declaring support for russia's position. been watching the deadlock unfold. get a better idea of where these talks are going or rather not going to listen to a rather critical comment from the c.e.o. of gazprom alexei miller on the ukrainian actions in these talks he took an

interest on the strategy of the ukrainian side is outright blackmail them when they choose from the stunt they took new constructive steps made no compromises and apparently want to be maximally aggravate our gas relationship yet so judging by that it seems it's not going anywhere the stumbling block is quite simple ukraine is asking for discount the five hundred eighty five dollars one thousand yeah russia is offering a big discount like we can if i can live a much fuller life with the average price of. us and yeah it is still going the problem also we know that jeff assumed russia for its natural gas than the four point five billion dollars already and in these times the prime minister of ukraine i say needs and you've made statements which are jeopardizing the process according to alexey miller to go why don't solution according to kiev in a deal can be reached only and exclusively on ukrainian tunnel's who does even the european union said such

a declaration has no place in negotiations and we agree in effect and so the tools would to paedo done prime minister said he yes a new statement it's interesting that in this particular dispute europe is siding with the gas problem european energy commission a mistake and are said that the price that gazprom is offering is completely fair compared to what europe is paying hold of russian natural gas and that any company has the legal right to demand that its debts to it must be paid in full of course europe has all the rights to be concerned as third of its natural gas it's consuming comes from russia and half of it is being transmitted through the ukrainian territory the interesting question is why ukraine has been unhappy with the price offered by russia it wants to sit on both chairs at the same time wants the best of both worlds the preferential price which russia reserves to its closest by. those particular members of the customs union and at the same time be close with europe or some countries in europe are paying a lot more than that we cannot say anything for sure when it comes to gas prices

this is commercial confidentiality but as the major suggested that countries like macedonia and slovenia are paying in excess of five hundred dollars per one thousand cubic meters of gas yet there has been no complaint from any european country about the price they have been paying and none of them have described the price as politicized so now ukraine says it won't pay any of its four point five billion dollar gas debt that's already there until a gas price deal is reached i spoke to international law expert alexander mccurry a-c. says if all fails careful don't display moscow i suspect that there is equal dynamic to this in that it's difficult for the ukrainians at present time to negotiate with the russians about anything because there's many people in here who don't like that and also an expectation that things deteriorate in ukraine they can actually blame it on the russian the only thing that might cause movement is if the you you europeans tell the ukrainians inert uncertain terms that we must pay.

they go to the russians track again that's going to happen i think on the sixteenth of june we will move forward to eat into a system for russia to gas which looks to me like he sent a couple or talks are still said to be ongoing but so far there's little optimism of a breakthrough of course keep you posted on this big story and any developments that come through for the coming hours and days here on r.t. . next a radical militant group that's been denounced by al-qaeda for being too violent is reportedly preparing to take the iraqi capital baghdad fighters from the islamic state in iraq and the levant of already successfully advanced in the north they've captured the entire province of navarre you can see it here on the map up there including its regional capital and pushing south extrude mistook the city of to create so although recent local media reports suggest the army managed to drive the jihad is that of it's thought the government's resorted now to asking the u.s.

to hit militants with drone strikes artie's miniport explains how that might well mean washington engaging against its own military hardware. what we're leaving behind a sovereign stable and self-reliant iraq two and a half years later the people america left behind are running away fleeing for their lives brought home a million people have already in iraq's second city mosul off the i.s.i. al forced the army to retreat reports also sees a nearby oil refinery town iraq's prime minister calling for a state of emergency after hundreds of gunman took control t.j. parts of the northern city of mosul by wednesday militants had seized the turkish consulate in mussel kidnapping the head of diplomatic mission and two dozen staff members some thirty thousand iraqi soldiers reportedly turned and ran as militants from the islamic state of iraq and syria known as isis moved in unleashing an all

out assault on the city they've taken control of hospitals police stations they have taken control of ammunition dumps and weapons stored and forces of what if left behind many of the abandoned weapons and military hardware now in the hands of hard terrorists were imported into iraq from gas where i think you all are aware of . that we provide three hundred health. security forces and look at about us here surgeons being and inspecting the vehicles driving them across the border toward syria unintended of the u.s. war in iraq coming home there weren't any real sizable organized militant groups in iraq until al qaeda mesopotamia rose during the night to fight back at the u.s. invasion to help the army we've trained them for eight years and that didn't seem to work bush dismantled the original iraqi army after the u.s.

a steady flow of reinforcements back into iraq let's get more from peter van buren he served with the u.s. foreign service for over twenty three years he joins us live on the line now hi peter nice to see you tonight i mean militants have taken over two major provinces and they took it over very quickly what does it say about the general state of security in iraq. it says that the inevitable that the united states of the conflicts between those we paid. control. of iraq where. it's something that can realistically take. i don't think so. area and the shia militias are going to protect their own homes i think there may be a very difficult situation house to house fighting in some places perhaps but at the end of the day i think the shia militias are still far too strong in baghdad to

be overtaken in the traditional sense. they gather by a strong man. and a powerful security apparatus and all the necessary for at least fantasized about all these years or as many separate areas the only thing left iraq for some of the shia are right now coming. to be free is indeed thank you for being on the program is appreciated thank you. bring the ongoing battle against g.m.o. foods in the e.u. . valid j.p. morgan is zero. for a nice occurred. and i decided to. scared of what i'd done. through my has control.

anything. why. don't cry. don't cry. while america wants to feed the world with genetically modified foods the e.u. has got its reservations its environment council has just approved giving member states the right to limit or completely ban maybe the production of g.m. crops that move will now need to be given final approval by the european parliament opinions about bio farming differ among e.u. members close close border members as well if you look at for instance britain pro g.m.o. welcomes initiative so you will enable countries that want to grow such crops to get on with it without having to wait for brussels consent justo the english channel into france they're very anti gere. also have put

a back here this decision making power that it's likely to get france though for its part again just over the border from germany to do so with all from france that's on the fence a lot of different views in europe but as artie's peter all of the reports the public is unanimous in saying no to g.m.o. . countries like here in germany we've seen a massive outcry against genetically modified foods people preferring to shop it organic stores like the one behind me now the reasons they've given for they saw several most notably health reasons people who are against g.m.o. foods are saying that there's not enough research on the fact the research hasn't even been done walk at the end of june we're going to see the negotiations on the new transatlantic trade and investment policy really getting into full swing at t.t. as it's known well its critics say this could allow american companies to pass off

g.m.o. food stuffs with felt having to let europeans know they say that they well the standards of food in the united states just aren't up to scratch with days in europe now we have seen bans in the past just recently apples from the united states were told they weren't going to be allowed to be imported into europe so it does seem that when it comes to the general public in europe they didn't g.m.o. a resoundingly no. the greatest concern over genetically modified foods its impact on people's health that's the worry possible consequences have been actively studied for a long time research shows that lab crops can do harm to a number of internal organs g m o's also blamed for causing cancer allergies and childhood learning disorders to say more unpleasant discoveries could yet be to come as well and we've got more stories online to follow that we've got online at r.t. dot com and also on our web site you can read about the bulletproof school equipment

a kaiser report says tonight. in london in one of the caring hearts of one of the capitals of loving liberal e.u. they've implemented a plan to finally get almost people off the streets at night so that they provide these desperate people with the jobs they could at least earn a few pounds and have some human dignity of course not they put down spikes everywhere on the ground so that the hobos have nowhere to sleep yes that is right they are laying down spikes to keep up the homeless just like dragon's teeth keep out tanks now if this happened somewhere in say bangladesh on a bad day i might say well that is their business but all the liberals in the e.u.

just constantly cry from their ivory tower to the whole world about how we all need to be tolerant and be taxed to death to help people but as a guy who grew up in a bad neighborhood i can tell you that liberals never want to live near the people they claim to want to help you know henry ford was one of those guys who said that you should never give anybody any handouts so what he did was give the disabled and the poor a decent paying jobs at his factory so listen up you liberal loony bin if you want to get those evil yucky cred for people off the streets just put them to work it will reduce your city of its homeless problem a lot faster than spikes will but that's just my opinion. is that you i'm a group and i've got a polygamous family i'm looking for a woman who understands me anyway and i want her to share my goal which is saving our people from extinction. you know that i had to found my originals. and she

said while. we've changed our attitude towards a polygamous marriage we have decided to find a man to marry as both the machine we want two more women we could wear your kids together with us.
