shoes that no one is that stand with to get that you deserve answers from. politics . russia sounds the alarm over claims the ukrainian army used banned weapons and its crackdown on dissent as a military expert tells r.t. the attacks are very the hallmarks of phosphorous bomb use. months behind on payments ukraine will have to prepay for russian gas if it fails to sell at least part of its debt by monday that's after negotiations collapse over caves insistence any deal had to be fully on its terms. and extremist militants in iraq have advanced to within fifty kilometers of the capital baghdad after securing much of the north of the country which they hope to turn into an islamic state the un says there have been mass executions of civilians.

it is five pm moscow you're watching are to international with me arena joshing russia is demanding an investigation of the ukrainian army's alleged use of for hit a weapons in the east of the country and this is what the night sky there looked like when according to the locals incendiary bombs were dropped on down denies the use of such munitions which are banned by the u.n. and here's what the residents are saying. well we all saw what happened here yesterday they used rocket launchers as well as incendiary bombs against us the ground was on fire and the ground burned by itself it burned for about forty minutes. from ten am everyone every man has sent a sore throat and all the time i think this is because it was burning i think will

feel the true consequences later there are still people out here it's a lot of children we haven't managed to get out yet. now we spoke to a former british army and intelligence officer who's recently returned from ukraine he told us the attack bears signs of white phosphorus weapons i've seen the video i've looked at it closely it does indeed tallow 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 an aircraft weapon to use such as a more telepaths and croft and then of course again to tell it's still. in the day time sharing actually this very tactile white or gray smoke so white phosphorus being used it's an alarming development of course it needn't necessarily be legal 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 i haven't should be calling for a pop and full investigation of this incident to prevent a escalating. the white phosphorus is extremely flammable and cannot be put out with water because a severe chemical burns often with lethal consequences perhaps its most notorious use was the two thousand and four bombing of fallujah in iraq witnesses there describe people literally melting to death the fear now is that these munitions are being used as a city of over one hundred thousand people which has now been under a tillery fire for weeks the u.s. state department was asked to comment on the alleged use of fire bombs but it's spokeswoman seemed a little confused. there were reports yesterday that the premium military is using phosphorus white phosphorus bombs that of slovyansk do you know anything about that did that come up in the conversation between secretary kerry and foreign minister lavrov if there was one was there 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 do you have anything to say about the force of the bosphorus there's. there's some you know what appears to be video and photographic evidence of this from the uses of the by the by the russians no matter the training i have not seen those reports and i'm happy to check with our team and see if we have confirmation of that and more to say on that. now the eastern ukrainian city of mariupol woke up to sounds of battles caves forces stormed the positions of the anti-government fighters there combat raged in the streets for about four hours in the city was assaulted by a national guard battalion formed by the leader of ukraine's radical party politicians as at least five anti-government activists were killed and thirty captured it claims the rest have now been driven away from their headquarters and the city is under the national guard's control. a bus blast in east ukraine is

thought to have killed at least two people and injured five more local authorities say the vehicle belong to one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed republic denis pushilin who was not in the min of us at the time of the attack less than a week ago his assistant was killed in a drive by shooting we were showing was the suspect a target and 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. the humanitarian situation in eastern ukraine is increasingly desperate thousands of people have fled to russia from the bombings and artillery attacks are to talk to some of those who've uprooted their families to scape the violence. but what you can see a few yards behind me is the russia ukraine border 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 completely dependent on the roster of 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 it's clear speaking to a number of them that it's an emotional time that we will lose them. every night we heard shootings explosions multiple rocket launchers. was. going on with all my children are with me but my mother and grandmother stayed there people are hiding you basements and don't seem to realize this will never and the

houses are bombed we don't have anything anymore. what this does is that it's scary that the government and the ukrainian media are lying about things they see they're organizing humanitarian corridor but there is no sign of that they don't plan people leave and keep them. well the authorities 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. the rushed over region. by the hand of the organization for security and cooperation in europe has visited the ukrainian refugee camp in russia where he heard directly from civilians about the attacks in the east had to compromise war on the ongoing assault in the region. q how does militants in iraq are pushing alarmingly close to the capital baghdad having

captured two new towns in their latest offensive fighting is taking place just fifty kilometers from the country's main city extremists from the islamic state in iraq and eleven organization have already gained a strong foothold in the north taking control of a whole province and they're planning to transform iraq into a cradle of greater radicalism and here you can see some three thousand iraqi soldiers yelled yielding to the jihad is who according to the u.n. conduct of mass executions of both civilians and soldiers are just ganesh accounting looks at what impact america's potential help in tackling the violence 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 there are now aiming at the capital baghdad the fight against the saudis syria has bolstered things 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 by. and so ever since now the u.s. may invade again to stop the onslaught of these 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 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

a mall so heavily armed radicals overran police stations three more than a thousand prisoners from the city jail and took over the international airport iraqi forces apparently ran in the face of the onslaught leaving behind weapons uniforms 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. as washington most help iraq militarily skeptics say would just be trying to undo the mass america created itself and there are numerous reports the extremists have seized u.s. army hardware that was supplied earlier to iraq michael bryant who was a u.s. defense department contractor in iraq discussed iraq's disintegrating security situation was a nice now we're on our cheese in the now show. you now have instead of suicide bombers and all that and people getting killed no it's going to the next step.

instead of people just being people getting murdered now you're taking actually land there they're actually they vote for all practical purposes running in anbar province they're taking over the country now how much responsibility should put on the iraqi government here. well iraqi government's incompetent it's inept but you know that the job is impossible you know saddam was it was a bad actor he was a bad guy but he kept a lid on everything through force the maliki you know is a shiite and the sunni's are upset because they were in charge and they want to take over again and saddam kept a lid on all of this maliki doesn't have a prayer of the iraqis the iraqi government can't and i don't know if any iraqi government could do this unless it was a dictatorship like it was under saddam. and while iraq struggles to feed the hottest in the country of the u.s.

is fabricating terrorists at home as will tell you there shortly. 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. a muslim advocacy group report says that since two thousand and one u.s. security services have been trapping and conflicting in a sense which washington perceives might be dangerous in the future. also ahead israeli medics stand up to lawmakers over the force feeding of palestinian prisoners on hunger strike. divisions within ukraine are becoming greater with each passing day the western backed regime in came shows no interest in compromise or negotiations at the same time civilians in the east continue to die is going for broke.

welcome back this is our to international well russia has given ukraine until monday to settle at least half of its energy data or else pay up front for its gas in future kid if it is some four billion dollars in arrears and hasn't paid for a month's worth of supplies now watching nervously as europe of course which gets thirty percent of its gas from russia and much of it goes through ukraine well it's fear of could start siphoning off european supplies of a gets cut off in large parts the deadlock is over price so let's have a look at that now russia once three hundred ninety five dollars per thousand cubic meters which is one hundred dollars less than what some european states pay and it's roughly the same price that was agreed on by former prime minister yulia timoshenko back in two thousand and nine but back then ukraine got some half day discounts for one of the prize was reduced significantly as part of russia's lease of military facilities in crimea now three years later i am president again

a college degree and to a customs union with russia and that saw the gas price go down to two hundred sixty eight dollars with kief rejecting a trade union with russia and crimea no longer part of ukraine those discounts are now gone but ukraine insists it should get gas at the same low rates are just ridiculous explains. 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 plus mosco is offering to fix that price for at least a year but that's not enough for prime minister gets a nuke who wants to squeeze the price to its lowest and that's despite the fact that ukraine still owes a whopping four billion dollars 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 that trade is based on a contract and not based on whether russia likes the ukrainian government or not

interestingly the current energy minister gets in its cabinet was in that same polls back in two thousand and nine when you let him go and volume of ports in agreed on roughly the same price which russia is offering today gazprom stearman is far from being impressed by kiev's bargaining tactics or use of the strategy of the ukrainian side is outright blackmail from the start they took new constructive steps made new compromises and apparently want to be maximally aggravates gas relationship 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 bipes in two thousand and nine it did it again russia has already given ukraine the benefit of the doubt and shift to deadlines to help negotiations now the balls and court now the e.u. criticised prime minister yet to news demand that any deal be exclusively on in ukraine's terms statement said to have to repeated the latest to go she markets

papadopoulos editor of u.k. magazine politics first was amazed by caves boldness. the odessa t. of the ukrainian government is breathtaking and this is the same the government's star place ukraine into the west's sphere of influence and then ukraine wants to have discounted prices from russia for russian natural gas russia has been more than accommodating to a government which is totally on repentance that ukrainian government has never apologized for or paid in the russian language law has never apologized for the destruction of russian historical and cultural monuments by ukrainian nationalists for example world war two ones but at the same time it wants to have a discounted rate from russia. now the ukrainian crisis is the focus of today's cross talk with peter lavelle. divisions within ukraine are becoming greater with

us are outraged by what appears to be america's latest tactic in its war on terror entrapping people it suspects my planned terrorist act in the future we're going to explain how most ninety five percent of convictions for this crime are the result of f.b.i. provocations in a pro side eleven america hundreds of muslims have. and imprisoned for attempting to carry out terrorist attacks however this study just released finds that the us 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 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 provocateurs 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 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 our 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 there being a war on terror without a war on terror they have no right to do this. so they 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 the they cannot justify the kind of surveillance they're doing us surveillance as the public has learned is not just limited to muslim citizens critics say unless there is a public outcry over a government manufactured crime that too may eventually become common practice and target and one very important i am artsy new york. semi for cross stock taking on ukraine's deepening divisions.

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 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 quid for people off the streets just put them to work it. read your city of its homeless problem a lot faster than spikes will but that's just my opinion.
