was i. was. i was. a vehicle explosion is thought to have killed two people in east ukraine and a suspected assassination attempt against a key leader in didn't yet. yet get his final deadline to sort out his gas agreement with russia with the price still storming the talks. and washington molson drones and no strikes in iraq where radical islamists have seized control of the north and now have the capital in the us.

well in watching r.t. international. now a bus blast in east ukraine is thought to have killed at least two people and injured several more local authorities say the vehicle belonging to one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed natural public denis pushilin who was not in the minibus at the time of the attack less than a week ago his assistant was killed in a drive by shooting where pushilin was the suspected target but we spoke to him earlier about the latest attempt on his life. this is just the latest in a series of attacks there were many people injured today i don't deny the possibility that i was the target of increased the number of security guards i have but you can't be sure of anything in a civil war. well russia is demanding an investigation over claims that the ukrainian army use phosphorous bombs in the eastern city of slavyansk residents there were awakened by what they playing with fire bombs being dropped these weapons a ban by the un in kiev denies their use is what led course

a say. we all saw what happened here yesterday they used rocket launchers as well as incendiary obama's against us the ground was on fire ground burned by itself it burned for about forty minutes. from ten am everyone every man to sore throat all the time i think this is because it was burning i think will feel the consequences later there are still people out here it's out of children who have. shown she bridges a former off army officer and intelligence officer who recently returned from ukraine he thinks the attack bad signs of incendiary weapons i've seen the video i've looked at it closely it does indeed tally what one might say. the hallmarks of white phosphorous use for example a very bright light burned in and multiple burns coming down from the sky it's an

air to use such as a mortar or perhaps from an aircraft and then of course again the telltale still burning the videos are seen in the daytime showing actually this very territorial white or gray smoke so white phosphorus being used as an alarming development of course it needn't necessarily be illegal but it depends on the your situation inside and that's exactly why of course and indeed other people even from the west should be even if they haven't so far should be calling for pop in for an investigation of this incident to prevent a escalating. so vans is an industrial city with a population of more than one hundred thousand people and has been a focal point of the government's crackdown on dissent it's been under regular artillery fire for weeks now and russia has submitted a resolution to the u.n. security council on the situation in eastern ukraine the u.s. state department was asked to comment on the alleged use of fire bombs that its

latest briefing but his spokeswoman seemed a little confused there were reports yesterday the korean military is using phosphorus white phosphorus. slovyansk do you know anything about that did that come up in the conversation between secretary kerry and former true overall that there was one there was one yesterday and actually i did find what i wanted to say on the vehicle so let me get to that after i get to matt's question so thank you for your patience very do you have anything to say about the force of the bosphorus of the. you know what appears to be video and photographic evidence of the scene of the usage of the by the by the russian no matter the pretty. well the humanitarian situation in eastern ukraine is increasingly desperate thousands of people have fled to russia from the bombings and artillery attacks artie's pour scott talked to some of those who fought greeted their families to escape the violence. what you can see

a few yards behind me is the russia ukraine border and for many people fleeing the restive aist of ukraine this is their first port of call it's a makeshift temporary holding center now the vast majority of people who are crossing the border have somewhere to go they can stay with friends or family within russia however many simply have nowhere to go no one to turn to and they're completely dependent on the roster of thora sees in the last twenty four hours more than six hundred people have crossed the border seeking shelter the majority of them are women and children who are trying to escape uncertainty of life in eastern ukraine and it's clear speaking to a number of them but it's an emotional time israel still has the number almost every night we hear shootings explosions multiple rocket launchers i can't handle those noises anymore. it's all my children are with me like my mother and grandmother stayed there people are hiding in basements and don't

seem to realize this will never end their houses a bomb we don't have anything anymore. says god says that's not those it's scary that the government and the ukrainian media are lying about things they say they're organizing humanitarian corridors but there is no sign of that they don't let people leave and keep them. well the authorities here in the rostov region are being helped by donations from people all over russia on thursday forty tons of supplies including food water medicine arrived but with an average of four hundred people crossing the border every day and seeking assistance it's clear that in the coming weeks more more aid is going to be needed got to say the rest of region. of the head of the organization for security and cooperation in europe has visited a ukrainian refugee camp in russia where he heard directly from civilians about the attacks in the east you can head to r.t. dot com for more on that. iraq's crumbling under the force of

a renegade al-qaeda splinter group sweeping the north of the us president is considering strikes and drone attacks the so-called islamic state of iraq and syria insurgent group of captured the whole province of the universe and has declared baghdad its final target the iraqi army failed to repel the jihadists and in this video you can see some three thousand soldiers surrendering to the militants party's gannets he looks at what effect america's help might have. militants with the islamic state in iraq and syria are now in control of large parts of iraq including its second largest city of mosul they are now aiming at the capital baghdad the fight against the saudi syria has bolstered these islamist militants and gave them new resources and the sectarian food in iraq has allowed the group to gain momentum and recruits the sectarian war in iraq broke out after the u.s.

invasion in two thousand and three and has been a source of constant violence ever since now the u.s. may invade again to stop the onslaught of the islamist militants my team is working around the clock to identify how we can provide the most effective assistance to them i don't rule out anything because we do have a stake in making sure that. these jihadists are not getting a permanent foothold in either iraq or syria for that matter the u.s. says all options are on the table except on the ground u.s. officials don't specify what options they're looking at this could include airstrikes the goal of this militant group is to create a caliphate the islamic state to process a vast area that includes syria and iraq but for many iraqis the prospect of being bombed by the u.s. again is no less daunting they're already being shelled by the iraqi government which is striving to drive the militants out when. taking over

a mall so heavily armed radicals overran police stations played more than a thousand prisoners from the city jail and took over the international airport iraqi forces apparently ran in the face of the ocelot leaving behind weapons with the forearms and on their feet poles more than half a million people have fled seeking refuge the situation for most iraq this is dire and it has been so for years they were promised democracy but all they've seen is violence with no end in sight. jadis have also managed to seize some of the u.s. bad oversupplied area to iraq to help it find say. a former u.s. foreign service member believes american weapons and militant hands could be a game changer. when you deliver weapons to the battlefield you really have no control over what happens to the united states has made a number of terrible mistakes in iraq and supplying all these weapons including air to ground missiles and things that could easily leak out of iraq and threaten us

elsewhere is just one more mistake piled on top of a long long series of mistakes everything that we're seeing today it was made in negligible by the two thousand and three invasion the united states never understood that iraq was three separate states the sunni the shia and the kurds state held together by a strong man saddam and a very powerful security apparatus when all of that was done away with it was inevitable that some kind of settling was going to be necessary for these three groups to live whether that was going to be the unified vision of iraq that america fantasized about all these years or as many people predicted including myself in my book we meant well that they would split into three separate areas that's what you're seeing right now is the inevitable settling of the mess the united states kicked over. now do stay with us as we tell you how israel has taken

a step forward in its controversial plans to force feed palestinian prisoners we've got this story in a company. the. whole. over. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our crafts to mco we've been a hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trucks and rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing or not define ready to join the movement then welcome to the big picture.

hello again welcome back now russia has given ukraine its final deadline to sort out its gas agreement with europe nervously watching from the sidelines a third of the continent's gas comes from russia through ukraine and if it gets cut off that is likely to cause headaches for european homes and businesses so let's break down how these prices are indeed worked out well right now it stands at three hundred eighty five dollars per cubic meter which is one hundred dollars less than what western europe generally pays and it's roughly the same price that was agreed on by former prime minister yulia timoshenko back in two thousand and nine since then though moscow applied a few discounts and twenty ten the price dropped to three hundred fifteen dollars because of the agreement to station russia's black sea fleet base in crimea three

years later then president ghana coach you grade to enter a customs union with russia and that's where the gas prices go down to two. hundred sixty eight dollars and these agreements no longer exist but ukraine insists it should get gas at a bargain price which no one else will artie's an igloo joins us live now and we've heard there haven't we the ukraine isn't being asked to pay any more than a lot of other western countries so what is the sticking point well apparently it does look that ukraine wants to have its cake and eat it too which is somewhat surprising considering that ukraine is looking west and plans to sign an association agreement with the e.u. so the price of three hundred eighty five dollars is at a market level reasonable plus moscow is offering to fix that price for at least a year and that's roughly the same price neighboring groupie and countries play but ukraine wants to squeeze it to the lowest rate despite the fact that it still owes a whopping four billion dollars in debt gazprom chairman is far from impressed by

kenya's war and we're getting tactics. because that only the strategy of the ukrainian side is outright blackmail them from the start they took new constructive steps made no compromises and apparently want to be maximally aggravates our gas relationship a busted each do pretty well prime minister gets a new spin on such talks before back in two thousand and nine he was the finance minister on the go when she and president putin agreed on roughly the same price which russia is suggesting today yet now he's accusing moscow of using gas as a political tool if gas is a political weapon then this political weapon is in the hands of the russian government and if gas is a good as it typically is all across the world then the trade is based on a contract and not based on whether russia likes the ukrainian government or not. and of course that leaves europe in limbo too in two thousand and six gas supplies

were cut off after ukraine siphoned fuel intended for europe from the transit pipes in two thousand and nine it is again russia's already given your crane the benefit of the doubt and shift a deadline to helping gauche asians so now the ball's in kiev court meanwhile bill doors with the international action center thinks he had been treading on dangerous ground in gas negotiations but a ukrainian government is being intransigent putting its own population at risk and also putting the people of europe at risk i think in this particular case the russian government is not acting politically but acting on a strictly economic market basis they are offering gas to ukraine at a lower price than europe is. you could say that russia was acting politically earlier when it gave large discounts to ukraine in a desire for stability but if the ukrainian government is paving in a hostile way and there is no reason for russia to give ukraine special political

considerations. getting convicted if you're suspected you might cause trouble in the future it's a practice security services in the united states have been using according to muslim advocacy groups there it's known as preventative prosecution but critics say it's nothing more than entrapment portnoy explains how almost ninety five percent of those found guilty were indeed provoked by the f.b.i. . in a post nine eleven america hundreds of muslims have been arrested prosecuted and imprisoned for attempting to carry out terrorist attacks however this study just released finds that the u.s. government has played a major role in orchestrating most of those so-called terror plots in order to exaggerate the domestic threat of muslim extremism when examining the department of justice is a list of three hundred ninety nine terrorism cases the study found that ninety

four percent of those cases involve preemptive prosecution that's a practice of targeting those who officials deem predisposed to committing crimes before an actual crime is committed in some instances the study finds that defendants were targeted purely for their religious affiliations and ideological beliefs in other instances the f.b.i. used an agent provocateur work to recruit vulnerable individuals moring them with cash and coursing them into carrying out a terrorist attack that was set up by the f.b.i. now federal informant would provide the fake explosives and instruct the defendant on what to do this is otherwise known as entrapment now the one hundred seventy five page report was released by projects along a group providing support and legal advocacy for muslims one of the co-authors told me his findings make it difficult to believe in the integrity of the u.s.

justice system and federal agencies what they're trying to do was to convince the american public that there is this large army of potential terrorists that they should all be very very scared about they are very much engaged in that world wide surveillance and this surveillance is very valuable to them they can learn an awful lot about all sorts of things and in a sense control it's control issues and to their advantage and the entire legal justification for the depends on their being. a war on terror without a war on terror they have no right to do this so they have to keep this war on terror going they have to keep finding people and arresting them and locking them up and scaring everybody because without that they they cannot justify the kind of surveillance or doing us surveillance as the public has learned is not just limited to muslim citizens critics say unless there is public outcry over a government manufactured riot that to eventually become. israel is

ignoring planes from doctors and given its initial approval to force feeding hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are on hunger strike the country's medical community says it's inhumane and is refusing to comply with the government's initiative the head of physicians for human rights hopes israeli doctors will stand for. both feeding it with this is only save anyone's life and it could lead to. damages. and other different health complications to only today. dr lederman the head of the israeli made the confusion his wall and using get these doctors and. clearly stated that it could lead to even not only civil damages but also death of a few. if they will be forced we do believe that even if.
