russia calls for an investigation over claims the ukrainian army used to ban type of weapons in east ukraine is a military expert tells r.t. they bat resemblance to phosphorous bombs. kiev gets its final deadline to sort out his gas agreement with russia with the price still stalling the talks. in washington mole sending drones and launching air strikes in iraq where radical islamists have seized control of the north and i have the capital in that.

and i welcome it's good to have you company you're watching r.t. international with maybe andrey pharma. now russia is demanding an investigation over claims that the ukrainian army you spoke for response in the eastern city of slavyansk residents there claim they were awakened by what they claimed were fire bombs being dropped these weapons a ban by the u.n. in kiev denies their use is what locals a say you don't feel what. we all saw what happened here yesterday they used rocket launchers as well as incendiary bombs against us the ground was on fire the ground burned by itself it burned for about forty minutes. and it's starting from ten am everyone every man has said a sore throat and scotland all the time i think this is because it will burning i think will feel the true consequences later there are still a lot of people out here it's a lot of children we haven't managed to get out yet. but we spoke to

a former british army and intelligence officer who's recently returned from ukraine he told us that the attacks bears signs of phosphorus weapons. i've seen the video i've looked at it closely it does indeed tally is what one might say about the whole science the hallmarks of white phosphorus use for example a very bright light burned in and multiple burns coming down from the sky it's an ever produced 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 showing actually this very territorial white or gray smoke so white phosphorus being used it's an alarming development of course it needn't necessarily be illegal but it depends on the concern 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 a proper and for investigation of this incident to prevent escalating well savannah

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 russia has submitted a resolution to the un security council on the situation in eastern ukraine the us state department was asked to comment on the down the at alleged use of fire bombs but it spokeswoman seemed a little confused there were reports yesterday that the military is using phosphorus white phosphorus. slovyansk few very thing about that did that come up in the conversation between secretary kerry and foreign minister lavrov if there was one there was one yesterday and actually i did find what i want to say on the vehicle so let me get to that after i get to matt's question so thank you for your patience do you have anything to say about the force of thoughts from the there's some you know what appears to be video and photographic evidence of this from some

of the by the by the russians no matter the training. meanwhile a bus plus an ac crane 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 dinette republic denis pushilin who was not in the minibus at the time of the attack that's been a week ago his assistant was killed in a drive by shooting the shooting was the suspected target 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 meanwhile the humanitarian situation in eastern ukraine is increasingly desperate thousands of people have fled to russia from the bombings and artillery attacks artie's paul scott talk to some of those death families to escape the

violence. well 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 want to turn to and they 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 a women and children who are trying to escape uncertainty of life in eastern ukraine and is clear speaking to a number of them but it's an emotional time israel source no longer 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 the house is a bomb we don't have anything anymore. this is god says that's not those it's scary that the government and the ukrainian media are lying about things they see the organizing humanitarian corridors but there is no sign of that they don't let people leave and keep bombing them. all 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. r.t. the rest of region while the head of the organization for security and cooperation in europe has visited a ukrainian refugee camp in russia to where he heard directly from civilians about

the attacks in the east you can head to r.t. dot com for more on the ongoing assaults in the region. iraq is crumbling under the force of a renegade. been to sweeping the nor the u.s. president is considering airstrikes and drone attacks the so-called islamic state of iraq and syria insurgent group of captured the whole province of nineveh and has declared baghdad its final target the iraqi army failed to repel that your holidays and in this video you can see some three thousand soldiers surrendering to the militants. again looks at what effect america's offer of help might. 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 there are now aiming at the capital baghdad the fight against the saudi syria has bolstered these islamist militants and gave them new resources in 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 everything 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 it's 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 cross 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 i'm also heavily armed radicals overran police stations create more than a thousand. the city jail and took over the international airport iraqi forces apparently ran in the face of the ocelot leaving behind weapons the reforms and armored vehicles 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. the jihadists have all say managed to say some of the u.s. army hardware that was supplied. to help it find the incision so they define bowden a former u.s. foreign service member believes american weapons in minutes and 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 is made inevitable by the two thousand and three invasion united states never understood that iraq was three separate states the sunni the shia in the purge state held together by a strong man saddam and a very powerful security apparatus 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. thanks for being with us today still to come we tell you how israel's taking the step forward these controversial plans to force feed palestinian prisoners we've got this story will and a couple of. the media leave us so we need to be. part of the scene motions to the play your part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. .

hello there 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's likely to cause headaches for european homes and businesses so let's break down how these prices are worked out right now it stands at three hundred

eighty five dollars per cubic meter which is a 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 had applied a few discounts and twenty ten the price dropped to three hundred fifteen dollars because of the agreement the station russia's black sea fleet base in crimea three years later then present yannick which agreed to enter a customs union with russia and that's with a gas price 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 gets will. joins us. live now we're hearing here that ukraine is being offered gas at pretty much the same price that many western countries are receiving it for so what is the problem or the problem is that it seems that kiev wants to have its cake and eat it too and it's somewhat surprising

given that ukraine is now 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 but moscow is offering to fix that price for at least a year prime minister gets nukes been there before back in two thousand and nine he was the finance minister under units of measure shango when she and president put an agreed on roughly the same price that russia is offering 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 use it typically is all across the world then a trade is based on a contract and not based on whether russia likes the ukrainian government or not so ukraine wants to squeeze the price to the lowest rate despite the fact that it still owes a whopping four billion dollars gazprom chairman is far from impressed by kiev's

bargaining tactics. the strategy of the ukrainian side is outright blackmail them from the start they took no constructive steps made no compromises and apparently want to be maximally aggravate our gas relationship a bust each ducati dealer 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 ukraine the benefit of the doubt and shifted deadlines to help negotiations so now the balls and have scored. well meanwhile bill dorsey with the international action center thinks kiev is treading on dangerous ground in gas negotiations the 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 were to hating in a hostile way and there is no reason for russia to give ukraine circle political considerations. in other news israeli law makers if given the initial approval to force feed hundreds of palestinian prisoners who've been on hunger strike for over fifty days the government's trying to fast track the initiative through parliament but the country's medical community says it's inhumane and it's refusing to comply the head of fear of physicians for human rights hopes israeli doctors will stand. both speeding. not considered as a measure is the correct use of torture really government is interested in passing

of the law as soon as possible even if the low pass we believe that the physicians really refuse and obey to the medical ethics and not to these really low in this case physicians will not take part in coach or force feeding it will. save anyone's life and it could lead to. damages. different health complications that of approximately three hundred palestinian prisoners and detainees on hunger strike and about seventy hospitalized in two days the fifty day of the hunger strike. starting to be a very crucial situation. dangerous situation for many of them. now there has been a triangle style mystery over the skies of europe it's emerged that were dozen

a preventive prosecution but critics say it's nothing more than entrapment portnoy explains how almost ninety five percent of those bank guilty were 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 involved preemptive prosecution that's a prop this up targeting those who officials deem predisposed to committing crimes before an actual crime is committed in somethin's ideological beliefs in other

instances the f.b.i. used an agent provocative work to recruit vulnerable individuals moring them with cash and call worsening 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 project salaam 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 worldwide 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 that depends on there 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 they're doing us surveillance as the public has learned is not just limited to the muslim citizens critics say unless there is public outcry over a government manufactured crime that soon may eventually become common practice to target anyone very important i am artsy new york. with more news about how often as time coming up they have larry king imagines a world where the united states never existed.

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 a job so 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're 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 are decent paying jobs at his factory so listen up you liberal loony bin if you want to get those evil yucky print for people off the streets just put them to work it will read your city of a. almost problem a lot faster than spike's well but that's just my opinion. polls are my language as well but i will only react to situations as i have read the reports so i'm likely to put the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your letter play like a monkey say to secure a car is all your dog. no god. thank you no more weasel words. when you say to direct question be prepared for a change when you run should be ready for a. printout of speech and a little down to freedom to costs. if
