russia sounds the alarm over claims the ukrainian army used banned weapons in its crackdown on dissent as a military expert tells the attacks bear the hallmarks of phosphorous bomb use. months behind on payments ukraine will have to prepay for russian gas if it fails to settle at least part of its dad by monday it's after negotiations collapse over insistence any deal had to be fully on his 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 u.n. says there have been mass executions of civilians.

at seven pm in moscow what you national with me wearing a joshing russia is demanding an investigation of the ukrainian army's alleged use of prohibited weapons in the east of the country and this is what the night sky there looked like when according to locals incendiary bombs were dropped on down of denies the use of such munitions which are banned by the u.n. and here's what the residents are saying. what happened here yesterday they used rocket launchers as well as incendiary bombs against us the ground was on fire how can the ground burn by itself it burns for about forty minutes. from ten am everyone i've met 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. we spoke to a former british army and intelligence officer who's recently returned from a grainy told us the attack bears signs of white phosphorus 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 app a weapon to use such as a mortar attack. and then of course again to tell it's still in videos i've seen in the daytime showing 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 use scituate consent 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 full investigation of this incident to prevent escalating. now white phosphorus is extremely flammable and cannot be put out with water it causes severe chemical burns often with lethal consequences perhaps its most notorious years was the two thousand and four bombing of fallujah in iraq witnesses there described people literally melting to death the fear now is that these munitions are being used in slovyansk a city of over one hundred thousand people which has now been under artillery fire for weeks the u.s. state department was asked to comment on the alleged choose a fire bombs but it spokeswoman seemed a little confused. there were reports yesterday that the pretty and the military is using phosphorus white phosphorus. slovyansk you know anything 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 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 source of the bosphorus that says. there's you know what appears to be video and photographic evidence of this from the use 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 or more to say that. now the eastern ukrainian city of mariupol woke up to sound of battle as 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 leaders of ukraine's radical party the politician says at least five anti-government activists were killed and thirty captured he claims the rest have now been driven away from their headquarters and the city is under the national guard's control we spoke to

a local resident. about half past four in the morning we heard a loud noise coming from the city center that's where the nearest people's republic had their head want us into buildings in the city center shooting and explosions could be heard it lasted until about seven am and then. at a bus blast in east ukraine is thought to have killed at least two people and injured five more local authorities say the vehicle belonging to one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed the next republican denis pushilin who was not in the minibus at the time of the attack well less than a week ago his assistant was killed in a drive by shooting where pushilin 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. now the humanitarian situation in eastern ukraine is increasingly desperate thousands of people have fled to russia from the bombings and artillery attacks artist paul scott talk to some of those who have uprooted their 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 one to turn to and they're completely dependent on the rest of story in the last twenty four hours more than six hundred people in to escape uncertainty of life in eastern ukraine and this place speaking to a number of them but it's an emotional time that it was. almost every night we heard shootings explosions multiple rocket launchers. was. going to

operate on 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 you. what this does is that it's scary that the government and the ukrainian media are lying about things they see the organizing humanitarian corridor of that there is no sign of that they don't let people leave and keep them. well the authorities in the rest of region are being helped by donations from people all over russia on thursday forty tons of supplies including food water medicine arrived there 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 rest of region. the out 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 so had to r.t. to convert more on the ongoing assault in the region. jadis 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 extremist from the islamic state in iraq and eleven the organization have already gained a strong foothold in the north taking control of the whole province they are planning to transform iraq into a cradle of radicalism and here you can see some three thousand iraqi soldiers yielding to the jihad is who according to the u.n. conducted mass executions of both civilians and soldiers are just going to shut down 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 they are now aiming

at the capital baghdad the fight against the saudis 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 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 these militants my team is working around the clock to identify how we can provide the most effective the systems 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 boots 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 mosul heavily armed radicals overran police stations create more than a thousand prisoners from the city jail. plus iraqi forces apparently ran in the face of the dog slaughter leaving behind weapons in the forms and armored vehicles more than half a million people have fled seeking refuge the situation for most the wrong things 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. now as washington mall is helping iraq militarily skeptics say it would just be trying to undo the mess america created itself there are numerous reports the extremists have seized the u.s. army hardware that was supply earlier to iraq michael o'brien who was a u.s.

defense department contract there in iraq discussed iraq's disintegrating security situation with an ace in our artie's in the now show. you now have instead of suicide bombers and all that and people getting killed you know 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 burra province they're taking over the country now how much responsibility should put on the iraqi government here well the rocky governments and carpet and it's inept but you know 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 defeat the hottest in the country the u.s. is fabricating terrorist at home as well and will tell you that 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 and trapping and convicting innocents which washington perceives might be dangerous in the future. also ahead israeli mattick stand up to lawmakers over the force feeding of palestinian prisoners on a hunger strike. over

filled picture of today's you know. from around the globe. look to. welcome back you're watching are to international rushes given ukraine until monday to settle at least half of its energy debt or else pay out front for its gas in future now keep this some four billion dollars in or years and hasn't paid for months worth of supplies watching nervously as europe which gets thirty percent of its gas from russia and much of it goes through a crane and it's feared that key of could start siphoning off european supplies if it gets cut off in large parts of the deadlock is overpriced so let's have a look at that well russia wants three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters which is one hundred dollars less than what some european states pay as 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 hefty discounts for one the price was reduced significantly as part of russia's lease of military facilities in crimea and three years later of them present in a car which agreed to and are a customs union with russia and that saw the gas price go down to two hundred sixty eight dollars with keep rejecting a trade union with russia and crimea no longer a part of ukraine those discounts are now gone but the rain insisted it should get gas at the same low rates are just read english go 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 moscow 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 yeltsin it was cabbage was in that same posed back in two thousand and nine when you let him go and rising that puts an agreed on roughly the same price which russia is offering today gazprom is chairman 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 ball's in kiev scored the e.u. criticised prime minister yet to nukes demand that any deal be exclusively on ukraine's terms a statement said to have the latest negotiations marcus papadopoulos editor of u.k. magazine politics first was amazed by caves baldness. the city or the ukrainian government is breathtaking and this is the same for governments to 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 ukraine crisis is the focus of today's cross talk with peter lavelle. divisions within ukraine are becoming greater with each passing day the western backed regime in cave shows no interest in compromise or negotiations at the same time civilians in the east continue to die is going for broke. the world cup kicked off in brazil with a double celebration for the host nation the opening ceremony was followed by a three one victory for the brazilians who bested gracious in the first game of the tourney next new england and italy go hand to have graham phillips caught up with some british fans on a boat in the amazon. a woman i was just one of the troops out of england son says you can see our friends in the gulf the bones pines willing to sign for the

exaggerate the domestic threat of muslim extremists 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 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 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 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 critics say unless there is a public outcry over govern. manufactured crime that too may eventually become common practice to target anyone. artsy new york for a masseur valence to draw attacks on guantanamo the u.s. uses a whole range of preemptive tactics to attain its and that's what kathy manley says

one of the co-authors of inventing terrorist report. the government uses this. vastly inflated tears to justify a number of things such as the mass surveillance edward snowden disclosed used as justification for drone attacks in places where there's no declared war in and somalia it's used to justify torture even and yet there's a threat but you have much of a greater threat of getting struck by lightning as you do in america being in a terrorist attack whenever they start going after one group if they get away with it doesn't usually stop there and they have actually started using sting operations against other people besides muslims seeing whether it's illegal i mean many of these tactics vialli the u.s. constitution's. some of the stories from around the world and french president francois iran has called for an end to a nationwide rail strike now in its third day it's caused the worst transfer
