12:02 pm
russian front to your guards that came by to arrest the for the crew of the personnel are equal and after that and other a.p.c. or other personnel the call came from across the border from ukraine into the russian territory and it raised it somewhat on the russian border guards and preventing them from arresting the intruders into the russian border so the people who were in the broken personnel carriers they were loaded onto the other one that came from ukraine that he turned around and went away. by the way the armored personnel carrier that was stopped on the russian territory well it is still stuck right there so i guess that will become a troll mind you i think just say yes they have dorothy's we're using right now but we should get the border saw and then this happened so right now the presidential spokesperson that dimitri pierce scoffed. this is that warning to him
12:03 pm
everything i said by the way he already said that's a lot in your boots and he already asked the ministry of foreign affairs to press the ukrainian government to send them a note of protest in this regard so let's see how this plays out and what news will be next yeah absolutely following it in the coming hours roman cost stuff on don thanks for the update there. meantime russia's demanding an investigation of the ukrainian army's alleged to use a pretty good weapons in the east of the country this is what the night sky looked like when according to locals the new century bombs were dropped on them here tonight's the use of munitions which are banned by the u.s. and british army to chelles shubrick who's recently returned from ukraine told me he thinks 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
12:04 pm
white phosphorous use for example a very bright light burning and multiple burns coming down from the sky it's an aircraft weapon it's been used such as a mortar or perhaps from an aircraft and then of course again the town still burning and pretty as 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 legal 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 i haven't so far should be calling for a proper and for investigation of this incident to prevent escalating. shoshu bridge remember white phosphorus is extremely flammable it can't be put out with water it causes severe chemical burns often with lethal consequences but its most notorious use 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
12:05 pm
munitions are being used in this events to city by one hundred thousand people which is now been draw tillery fire for weeks the u.s. state department was asked to comment on the alleged use of these fire bombs but it's spokeswoman siebert little confused. there were reports yesterday that 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 foreign minister lavrov if there was one there was one yesterday and actually i did and what i wanted to say on that the it also let me get to that after i get to matt's questions and thank you for your patience do you have anything to say about the force of the bosphorus leaders you recently wrote with what appears to be a video and photographic evidence of the scene of the usage of the by the by the russian no matter the crimean 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 on that.

eastern ukrainian city of mariupol my entire world cup to sounds of battle as kiev's forces stormed the positions of the anti government fighters there raged in the streets for about four hours earlier the city was assaulted by a national guard battalion formed by the leader of ukraine's radical party the politicians or at least five anti-government activists were killed and thirty captured he claims the rest of the have been driven away from their headquarters in the cities under the national guard's control he spoke to a local resident. he could not get it but half past four in the morning we heard a loud noise family from the city stand there where the us people's republic had their headquarters into buildings in the city center shooting and explosions could be heard it lasted until about seven am and then grew quiet again with. the humanitarian situation in eastern ukraine is increasingly desperate to thousands of people have fled to russia from the bombings an artillery attacks artie's paul scott talk to some of those who are rooted their families to try to escape the
12:07 pm
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 somewhat 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 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 this case speaking to a number of them that it's an emotional time that we will lose them. almost every night we heard shootings explosions multiple rocket launchers. all my children are with me but my mother and grandmother stayed there people are
12:08 pm
hiding you basements and don't seem to realize this will never and the houses are bombed we don't have anything anymore. this guard says that's not it scary that the government and the ukrainian media are lying about things they see the organizing humanitarian corridors that there is no sign of it 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 and 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 rostov region. has been reporting the head of the organization for security and cooperation in europe visited a ukrainian refugee camp in russia where he heard directly from civilians about the attacks in the east you can read more about the else is going on there are tito

puente. how does militants in iraq push the alarmingly close to the capital baghdad having captured two new towns in the latest offensive fighting is taking place just fifty kilometers now from the country's main city extremists from the islamic state in iraq and the levant organization of already gained a strong foothold in the north taking control of a whole province they're planning to transform iraq into a cradle of radicalism you can see some three thousand iraqi soldiers yielding to the jihad is so according to the u.n. conducted mass executions of both civilians and soldiers art is going to change your next looks of what america's potential help in tackling the violence might have here. militants with the islamic state in iraq and syria are now in control of large parts of iraq including its second largest city 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
12:10 pm
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 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 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 an islamic state that cross a vast area that includes syria and iraq but for many iraqis the prospect of being bombed by the u.s.
12:11 pm
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 create 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 these dire and it has been so for years they were promised democracy but all they've seen is violence with no end in sight. and the do does washington malls now helping militarily skeptics say we just could try to. undo the mess america created in the first place there are numerous reports of extremists that have seized u.s. army hardware that was supplied earlier to iraq michael abroad and it was a u.s. defense department contract to iraq discussed iraq's disintegrating security situation within this now and aunties in the now show you now have instead of
12:12 pm
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 and our province they're taking over the country now how much responsibility supporting the iraqi government here well you are actually governments and competent 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. well while iraq struggles to defeat the
12:13 pm
jihad this in the country the u.s. is fabricating terrorists at home as will tell you 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 entrapping convicting innocence which washington perceives might be dangerous in the future. as the media leave us so we need to be. part of the scene motion security play your part of the visible. issues that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics. are today.
12:14 pm
i think right. now a. lot but it's not. like . three. 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 carol is going for broke. alone again so russia's given ukraine until monday to settle at least half of its energy debt or else pay up front for its gas if you chip care has some four billion
12:15 pm
dollars in arrears right now and hasn't paid for months worth of supplies watching nervously that is europe which gets thirty percent of its gas from russia and much of it goes through ukraine it's feared that ukraine could start siphoning off european supplies if it gets cut off in large part the deadlock is over price so let's have a look at that for a minute russia wants three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters which is one hundred dollars less than some european states pay right now as rough for 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 other hefty discounts for one the price was reduced significantly as part of russia's lease of military facilities in crimea three years later then president in a code which agreed to enter a customs union with russia that then saw the gas price go down more to two hundred sixty eight dollars but with clear projecting
12:16 pm
a trade union with russia and crimea no longer part of ukraine those discounts and i would go on but ukraine insists it should get gas at the same low rates ridiculous reports. 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 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 a trade is based on a contract and not based on whether russia likes the ukrainian government or not interestingly the current energy minister gets and it was cabinet was in that same polls 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 chairman is
12:17 pm
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 no compromises and apparently want to be maximally aggravate our 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 court. the e.u. criticize prime minister demand that any deal be exclusively on ukraine's terms a statement of torpedo the latest negotiations because probably the interview came magazine politics first was amazed by the boldness. the city of the ukrainian
12:18 pm
government is breathtaking and this is the same that governments wants to place ukraine into the west's 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. ukrainian crisis in whole is focus of today's crosstalk too with people of well. divisions within ukraine are becoming greater with each passing day the western backed regime in camp shows no interest in compromise or negotiations at the same time civilians in the east continue to die
12:19 pm
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 best of creation the first game of the tournament in england then set to play over the weekend graham phillips caught up with some british fans on a boat in the amazon. was one of the true sort of england fans as you can see a principal of the books pints willing to find ready for sunday's much against italy five i can see some of the boys. was right there was. no no no need yeah just put up a sphere and yourself was full of a few beers mixer to what bill's going. to give the world cups and it was enough to show that it is it was great i think the prime minister talked about it to be kept

up if it. comes. to using noisy thank you thank you for spending your time causing the funds to make this journey. to be secure against actually inside. mourner web site. tonight discover online a project to science fiction to. carry passengers across space faster. traffic controllers trying to locate some of the mysteriously disappeared. with an update on the. home. of preemptive strikes but what about preemptive prosecutions muslims in the u.s. but what appears to be america's latest tactic in its war on terror trapping people
12:21 pm
it suspects might. in the future. explain so almost ninety five percent of convictions for this crime with the result of. provocation in a post nine eleven america hundreds of muslims have been arrested prosecuted and president 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 extremists when examining the department of justice is a list of three hundred ninety nine terrorism cases the study found 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 too early for their religious affiliations and ideological
12:22 pm
beliefs in other instances the f.b.i. used in egypt provocative work to recruit vulnerable individuals moring them with 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. 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 are 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
12:23 pm
terror going they have to keep finding people and arresting them and locking them up and scaring everybody critics say unless there is public outcry over a government manufactured crime that too may eventually become common practice to target anyone. artsy new york for mass of aliens to drone attacks on guantanamo the u.s. uses a whole range of preemptive ticks to attain its ends that's what cuffy mumbly says she's one of the co-authors solve the inventing terrorists report the government uses this. vastly inflated terror threat to justify a number of things such as the mass surveillance that edward snowden disclosed used as justification for drone attacks in places where there's no declared war such as yemen and somalia it's used to justify torture even and yet there's
12:24 pm
a threat but you have much of a greater threat of getting struck by lightning as you do in america being attacked 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 saying whether it's illegal i mean many of these tactics violate the u.s. constitution. zogby larry king's here after the break. 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 homeless people off the streets at night so that they provide these desperate people with a jobs they can at least earn
12:25 pm
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 decent paying jobs at his factory so listen up you liberal loony bin if you want to get those yucky critical 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.

imagine. matching up all. the girls. to some. not exist well the republican i'm larry king new york times bestselling author denise d'souza joins me here in studio his latest book is intitled america imagine a world without her he is co-writer and director of a documentary by the same name which will be out july's didn't and we'll see some clips from that during the program why why why this title because i am an immigrant to america and from india i grew up in bombay i came at this country at the age of
12:29 pm
seventeen i've written twelve books this is my thirteenth book and i realized as i look back on them i've written books in education civil rights and capitalism they're all in some ways about america because as an immigrant i think i i have a dual perspective i see america from the inside i've grown up here i went to college here but i also retain a little bit of that outsider feeling of america in which i'm always comparing america to other cultures to the rest of the world and i think that dual perspective informs all my writing and the idea of a world without her would would leave the world well we have a tremendous space between the oceans well you're right we could be a giant of the indian ocean there are different ways for america not to exist so if a meteorite hit the continent and vaporize the thousand years ago there would be no america but here is another way if a british neighbor had shot george washington and the american revolution had gone down there would be america the land mass there be people here.
