back in baghdad the u.s. is sending troops to iraq where the sunni insurgents have seize several key cities across the country. also russia warns brussels that gas supplies could be disrupted if here starts siphoning off the fuel it comes after gazprom turned off the tap to ukraine due to massive debts. and hackers in britain may be facing a life time behind bars if a proposed new bill is passed but experts warn it could potentially see those working to improve internet safety sent to prison as well.

welcome amil harvey and you're watching r.t. international. american troops are heading back to iraq the u.s. is sending up to two hundred seventy five personnel to protect its citizens and property that that's as large parts of the country are fall and into the hands of al qaeda linked militants known as isis now these red areas that you can see here they are the areas where the jihadists are full or partial control president obama said the troops will remain in iraq until the situation improves and situ reports. the announced goals of these new u.s. troops are to protect u.s. embassy personnel and other american interests this is according to a statement from barack obama to congress made on monday this comes as the islamist militants al qaeda affiliated group isis increasingly spreads its wings on the ground now the statement released by the white house on monday says the troops

would stay in iraq until the security situation gets better additionally a separate special forces mission which is yet to be officially approved by washington would focus on training iraqi troops on the ground this comes as last friday of course barack obama had reiterated the commitment to not send u.s. troops back into combat into iraq we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq but i have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support iraq security forces according to the pentagon over the weekend around one hundred seventy u.s. personnel began arriving in baghdad all of this of course comes amid growing concerns that a decade after the u.s. invasion iraq is continually spinning out of control and the question is what steps are yet to be taken by the u.s. . released these photos which seem to show the mass executions of iraqi soldiers the country's military spokesman said the

pictures are indeed authentic and said they show around one hundred seventy soldiers killed is going to reports now the growing minds of jihadists in iraq is provoking a strong reaction from the u.s. . washington is now pondering over how to bomb iraq in such a way as to not provoke a backlash after all the crisis there has a strong sic tarion background with the militants being sunni muslims so what's your response to airstrikes just aren't the answer here well look the whole answer but they may well be one of the options that are important to be able to stem the tide and stop the movement of people who are moving around in open convoys and trucks and terrorising people the sick caring component video walks crises is already train traditional alliances iran wants to get cooperate with the west to assist iraq's shia government and washington's ally saudi arabia on the other hand

warns against any foreign interference made with ports that wealthy sunni donors in saudi arabia kuwait and carter have been funding militants from these lobby state of iraq and syria the us is allied with all the gulf countries that are supporting the sunni rebels in syria that are supporting them in iraq this is an old problem the isis militants grew out of the six carrying boy in iraq which started after the u.s. and u.k. invasion in two thousand and three today some of the politicians who made the decision to invade are anxious to wash their hands of blame the u. case tony blair wrote we have to liberate ourselves from the notion that we have caused this we have it the sunni extremists now control vast areas in iraq including the cities of fallujah and to create as well as mosul the second largest these cities which have been battered by the decade long war looked very different before the u.s. and u.k. invasion. in two thousand and two i was in

a most truly in the northern city that has been now seized by the rebels the sunni revolt at that time in two thousand and two most soon and i was greeted by people in mosul they were christians they were sunni arabs shiite arabs and they were kurds they were a tapestry they were around multinational the. multicultural communities have a record their time and they were living in peace today they are divided along sectarian lines because of an outside invasion washington is now divided between those who oppose any u.s. military intervention in iraq and those who say something has to be done because the. great. officials. say they don't own iraq's problems and they don't want to make their push the militants out. of their return only a matter of time. losses emerged in

iraq right after the u.s. led invasion and pledged allegiance to al qaida and it has been fueling the sectarian violence in the country but claim independent states within the territory of iraq syria lebanon palestine and jordan with us now sending troops back into the country washington is looking to play a major role in diffusing tensions that is the view of political analysts. part of this is also. facilities that you are. clear signal the united states could play a role in helping the iraqi government but the kind of help that we have been hearing about there is a little bit different this would be for you us unilaterally uses who they are for strike. forces up. in syria and iraq also uses the drones to attack these forces on opposite or points of the iraqi

government and i think to a large extent you have to go back to the two thousand and three war and i said in the station that ran iraq for governments that were put in charge i think sure ought to be a huge responsibility for the disaster that we have seen in iraq since that time. but just before i say launched its offensive in iraq's north it launched a propaganda video apparently aiming to bring more people to their cause the video is called the clanging of the swords and it is an hour long film features some very graphic scenes that show soldiers being executed and fast as by being gunned down in tanks being blown up the footage is being removed from you cheap multiple times but is loaded over and over again from different accounts of analyst chris. believes that brutal videos like this censure of is not just across iraq but throughout the entire middle east. one of the brutalized secondly of course is well

they're well used to social media and terms of projected sales but the fact that in addition to the view you know talking about your posting up which rapist executions and saying i've killed the shia dog you know that is going to backfire in terms of across the region as i see it in the neighboring governments all over the road will be very nervous about what is happening here and be very keen whatever the past the fences will be have been the maliki government to buttress the maliki government against this against isis because it's going to leave the repercussions potentially . for around and every other country in the region. in the meantime a former u.k. prime minister is urging western governments to consider military options including sending troops to iraq tony blair also went as far as to deny the current situation in the country has anything to do the allied invasion of two thousand and three well arty's kaisers never want to mince his words and he casts

a wry on the story with his compatriot stacey her but certainly tony blair has benefited from war and deaths and he totally destroyed iraq and he's calling for a ray invasion of iraq and i did a little of back of the of a lockout elation i figured that for every dead u.k. soldier in iraq it'll add about twenty five thousand pounds to tony blair's retirement fund so families of us soldiers out there don't think they're down for nothing. europeans potentially face a cold winter ahead to freshen gas destined for consumers gets lost on its way via ukraine gazprom was warned that kiev may start siphoning off the fuel from transit pipes that run to europe he has been cut off by russia after failing to pay its

bills let's get more on this one of these piece of oliver who joins us live from berlin good morning to you peter so as energy giant has cut the pipelines to ukraine how does that affect europe well what we've been hearing from the e.u. energy commission. is this well get ready for potentially a cold winter ahead this comes. it had its gas cut off by russia after it failed to pay billions in u.s. dollars an outstanding bills ukraine is the main point of transit at the moment the getting gas into europe in many european nations rely on russian gas as either their main or in some cases their only source of energy now alexey miller the head of gazprom the russian gas giant is been talking to russian prime minister dmitry medvedev and said they should expect ukraine will try and siphon off some of this

gas now they do have form when it comes to the grain they did it in two thousand and six they did it in two thousand and nine and two thousand and nine we saw particularly a harsh time a harsh winter for countries like bald garia and slovakia now. also many other nations across europe seventeen countries in two thousand and nine reported that they had extreme shortages and eight went completely bone dry so if you create does take this gas it could have huge repercussions for those who have paid their bills in europe thank you very much our correspondent peter all of it live in berlin now thank you to you and as peter just mentioned it's happened before of course just two thousand and nine also in two thousand and six just to remind you that was when half of you it was left in the cold when ukraine siphoned off five hundred fifty million cubic meters of russian gas there was another

so-called gas war three years later when ukrainian supplies were cut off the country made up the shortfall by withholding eighty six million cubic meters of gas it was supposed to transfer to europe meanwhile a ukrainian delegation is heading to brussels today to discuss the possibility of buying gas from european companies and here is how the so-called reverse flow deliveries which gazprom says are actually legal will work. so there are pipes which are normally used to carry russian supplies to your value crane but in reverse flow the e.u. would send that gas back down the same pipeline gazprom says that ukraine has no right to control the flow of russian gas moscow has therefore warned european companies to think twice before undertaking such measures as the head of the european geo political forum are out to tear off explains it's in the legal gray zone a lot of this gas is gas probably gas to leave it to the e.u.

and maybe outside of the legal abilities of e.u. partners to actually export that back to ukraine there's not really any you know european level or brussels level legislation about reverse flows to ukraine so that brussels would actually say on this that it is up to the contract agreement between gazprom and the particular recipient of its gas inside the e.u. and if the clause of that contract does not allow that gas to be exported let's say to a third party such as ukraine then gazprom would have a legitimate right to raise this. in an international legal context or at a political you know diplomacy level. well apart from the gas kids also busy waging a military operation in its own backyard later on when the families separated by

violence with children forced to leave their parents and really to say. i cannot think right. now like. what if. like. ukraine stops receiving russian gas after missing the latest and final deadline start paying its multibillion dollar debt energy sector america's police patrols the pentagon hands are left over war hardware arming cops with military grade gear

the palestinian parliament speaker is among one hundred fifty arrested by israel over the kidnap of three teenagers. what other media turns a blind eye to you get. welcome back you're watching international thanks for joining us on here now in the russian capital next new laws on cyber terrorism in the u.k. would see hackers jailed for life but some in the security industry claim that the well designed to protect people from cyber crime could ironically make the internet less safe auntie's polly boycott reports. in today's digital age committing

a serious cyber crime could land you a mega sentence and the serious crime bill proposed in the queen's speech computer hackers who launched devastating attacks on u.k. infrastructure could soon face life behind bars as a single attack can have such a dramatic effect let's just imagine a scenario where we go in our electricity for a week and the impact that would have had no lights no power to do engineering on manufacturing business or to you know for people to boil water you know to sterilize baby feeding a quick but that actually has a tangible effect on people's daily existence and actually worse case scenario on people's very very lives at the moment impairing a computer as it's written in law carries a maximum ten year sentence according to ministers that's disproportionate to the potential damage a malicious hacker could wreak but computer security experts have questioned what cyber terrorism really means and whether the term could be used to prosecute

citizens who try to whistle blow on the government or a company i honestly think if you will if you're hacking in order to harm life then there will be sentences already available differently computers are more central to us. that might mean that people can do more harmful things but things that we have to publish them for all of the results you know if you killed people have you attempted to done damage property would disrupt the capital's transport those are concrete eric becomes the the trying to do those things are actually doing that that's what people should be sentenced for benevolence security researchers are also concerned their work often involves behaving like hakas with the intention of finding vulnerabilities on a website and exposing cyber risk but according to this proposed law even those working for the cold. good of the internet could end up behind bars so feel

a major threat here is if somebody is simply trying to reverse engineer a site maybe see that show that it isn't properly secure and that people shouldn't trust it and that the operators need to sort themselves and those are the kinds of problems where people can to face computer misuse charges without really having done anything wrong plenty of. london. tarnished image green peace may no longer be seen as a global do gooder suffered emerged of an employee from the organization called five million dollars in a currency. scandal greenpeace's comments. so. for you a group of developers have come up with an inventive solution for parents for straight their children take their eyes off the mealtimes find out how it all works the details on a website. the interview. will

recently four hundred high level russian officials including duma members were someone for a three day military training event that would include the use of various different weapons and lectures about steve the russian military the stated objective of all of this was to make the average soldier in the army aware of the patriotic attitudes of those who can order them off to fight in theory this is a good idea but the reality is this kind of reeks that sweet stench of an empty p.r. stunt this is not nearly enough to convince the average grunt that the guys in power care about him as far as i understand it in the military they want to push people to break down their psychology and boot camp so they can make new better tougher more patriotic people and obedient ones as well the sort of. poor weekend camp will not have any psychological effect these politicians and to be honest i think

bureaucrats the world over have it too easy their lives are too comfortable heck all the duma deputies have these nice leather chairs and they have gold watches and assistants and all that stuff i think that if the duma deputies had to suffer through a military health for one month out of the year the corrupt comfort obsessed weaklings might get squeezed out of the system this training for the elite is a good idea but it needs to be done right and brutal but that's just my opinion.

crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. you know what it's like some kind of hallucination at some point in time not a very nice one mind you something happens to my mind. just right now i'm more interested in the question of safety is there anybody with you. the lowest a picture of myself as a shivering whole mind with trembling hands and a battery die. if there's a law against assault and physical abuse occurs three times in my case it was many more. i only realised that something's happened after i've already done it it's
