welcome and thanks for joining us once again by names the al harvey and you're watching r.t. international. american troops are going back to iraq the u.s. is sending up to two hundred seventy five personnel to protect its citizens and property there and that's as large parts of the country have fallen into the hands of al qaeda linked militants known as isis the red areas that you can see here they are where the hardest have full or partial control president obama said the troops will remain in iraq until the situation improves and see a choke in 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 coming up which seem to show the

mass executions of iraqi soldiers the country's chief military spokesman said that the pictures were indeed authentic and show around one hundred seventy soldiers killed however the group it so claims it executed ten times that amount was going to change can reports now the growing malita 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 signal tarion background with the militants being sunni muslims so what's your response to airstrikes just aren't the answer here with a 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 terrorizing people the sectarian component video walks crises is already trying traditional alliances iran wants to cooperate with

the u.s. to assist iraq's shia government washington's ally saudi arabia on the other hand warns against any foreign interference and made reports that wealthy sunni donors in saudi arabia kuwait and carter have been funding militants from the islamic 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 with 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 you came beijing. in two thousand and two i was in mosul in the northern city that has been now seized by the rebels the sunni revolt at that time in two thousand to mosul 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 the multination. multicultural communities of iraq at that 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 there. are breaks to this day officials. say they don't own iraq's problems and they don't want to help the government they're pushing the militants out however. their return are only

a matter of time. record losses emerged in iraq of bryant after the u.s. led invasion in pledged its allegiance to al qaida and its been fueling the sectarian violence in the country proclaiming an independent state within the territories of iraq syria lebanon palestine and jordan but the us now sending troops back to the country washington is looking to play a major role in diffusing the tensions that is the view of political analyst at. the think part of this is also. to protect u.s. facilities that you see but also to send a 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 or they are forced to attack the forces of. state in syria and iraq

also uses the drones to attack these forces and opposition opponents 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 suddenly saw. their governments that were put in charge i think ought to bear huge responsibility for the disaster that we have seen in new york since. just before isis launched its offensive in iraq's north it released a propaganda video apparently aiming to bring more people to the cause so the video is called the clanging of the swords for and it is an hour long film which features some very graphic scenes that shows soldiers being executed cars and passers by gunned down and thanks to blown up footage is being removed from you tube multiple times that is uploaded over and over again from different accounts from the guy analyst chris bambery believes that brutal videos like this century not just across

iraq but the entire middle east. one that they were brutalized secondly of course as well they were used to social media and terms of our projected selves but the fact that in addition to the view you know talking about the airports they not witchery the executions and seeing i've killed a shia dog you know that is going to backfire in terms of across the region as i see. the neighboring governments or road will be very nervous about what is happening here are really very keen whatever the past the differences will be have been with them our government. to buttress the maliki government against this against isis because it's gone major repercussions with the injury for turkey for around and every other country in the region meanwhile whistleblower chelsea manning has accused the u.s. of lying about iraq the former us intelligence analyst on wiki leaks informant says the american military has been controlling the media's coverage of the war in the country you can catch the details later today in breaking the set. sunday manning

released a new york times op ed and titled the fog machine of war in which she lays out all the ways that the military's control of the american media led to vastly different public portrayals of iraq and the reality on the ground manning starts by writing quote i believe that the current limits on press freedom excessive government secrecy make it impossible for americans to grasp fully what's happening in the wars we finance journalists are carefully vetted for the opportunity to write stories wander military protection manning notes that this system is far from unbiased and surprisingly reporters who have established relationships with the military are more likely to be granted access less well known is that journalists whom military contractors rate as likely to produce quote favorable coverage based on their past reporting also get preference. ukraine's new president perch of poroshenko has vowed to bring about a cease fire in eastern ukraine by the end of this week amid

a similar promise last week as well pressing on with its military operation against the defined regions the suburbs of lugansk city have come under a tillery fire overnight. because of the air raid sirens being sounded locals reported hearing the noise of shelling in the city center as well as the city of kramatorsk another target of crackdown also came under attack so the defense forces claim ten civilians were killed there on monday locals say residential areas of also shelling. to russian journalist released from detention in ukraine say they were beaten and threatened with execution the person two days in captivity after they were abducted from one of the checkpoints here is how they described their ordeal. yes. we were stopped at a national guard checkpoint and asked to get out of the car and show our i.d.'s

when they saw our russian passports and found out that we were members of the t.v. channel they changed their faces they started joking that they'd caught a goldfish or won the jackpot they force us into a car and we were taken away our eyes were covered in eventually we were pushed into some basement at gun point different armed people were coming to us threatening us they promised to shoot us and bury us in the field they said they hated russia and would do everything not to let us go a long life then we were dragged out of the cell and force into a car we were beaten by rifle butts. apart from the gas round with moscow kiev is also busy waging a military operation in its own backyard baser on will make the families separated by violence from children forced to leave their parents leave the same. next europeans potentially face a cold winter ahead that is if russian gas destined for consumers gets lost on its

way for ukraine gazprom was warned that kiev may start siphoning off the fuel from transit pipes that run to europe has been cut off by russia after failing to pay its bills and europe has to be prepared for gas shortages societies peter oliver explains from berlin. well what we've been hearing from the e.u. energy commission. is this it's well get ready for potentially a cold winter ahead now this comes after ukraine had it gas cut off by russia after it failed to pay billions of 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 if those supplies are siphoned off well it can have voted fecht as it has in the past when ukraine's

being cut off and they start to take that gas they did it in two thousand and six last time was in two thousand and nine seventeen countries here in europe reported shortages ates were completely without any gas amongst those the most worst affected countries like bulgaria and slovakia we saw real problems there when it came to keating to industry that was pretty much shut down so it is a big deal if you crane starts to take this gas that is destined for europe since it's being cut off for the failure to pay its bills to create does take this gas it could have huge repercussions for those who have paid their bills in europe well as we just heard the first time i've seen a situation such as this going first of all back to two thousand and six when half of europe was left in the cold that was when ukraine siphoned off five hundred fifty million cubic meters of russian gas and there was another so-called gas was 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 do stay with us here on r.t. still ahead for you will report why a new law aimed at curbing cyber terrorism in the u.k. was the jailhouse for life and why the idea may fail. certainly tony blair has benefited from war and death and he totally destroyed iraq and. he's calling for a reign of iraq and i did a little back of the. i figured that for every dead u.k. soldier in iraq it all had about twenty five thousand pounds but tony blair's retirement. we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish

matters to you breaking news a little too much of angles stories. here. spanish. visit. welcome back you're watching on t.v. international next a new lore on cyber terrorism in the u.k. would see hackers jailed for life but some in the security industry claim the move designed to protect people from cyber crime because ironically make the internet less safe. the 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 but frankly 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 comes and he 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 coma. 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 he didn'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. london. moving on line for you tarnished image greenpeace may no longer be seen as a global do gooder that is after it emerged an employee from the organization blew a record five million dollars in a currency gamble for more on the scandal and greenpeace his comments on it had to say dot com and while you're there why not check out this story a group of mobile app developers have come up with an inventive solution for parents frustrated that children can't take their eyes off the phones during meal

rules in effect on things you can jump in anytime you want. i cannot take. place now like. what if. like. next to an r.t. the violence in eastern ukraine is different thousands of people away from their

homes and as a result many families have been left to divided on. some of those forced apart from their loved ones. all the time i think about him all the time and he also thinks about me all the time because he's my only son. while i worry for my mother because she's alone there and nobody can support her for her own safety she should come here mother and son separated by one hundred fifty kilometers and with kiev's military offensive showing no sign of ending nor is there separation that i've got son i don't know when i can come i love you and send kisses to you. i love you very much and i really miss you please come as soon as possible i love you. like thousands of other ukrainian mothers give me i decided to send his son out of the country she now mourns an empty house with only her

fears to keep her company spoken when you get didn't want to leave alone he wanted me to stay with him but i came back in order not to take up space that could go to mothers with small children and in order to help evacuate people from here you've given your hopes victoria another mother who sent a only child denis to russia twelve days ago the phones when constantly other terrified mothers in the same position. because i think about him all day and all night i walk into his room and see that the bed is empty and no one is at the computer i walk to the shop thinking i need to buy ice cream but then i realize that i have nobody to buy ice cream for victoria's biggest fear is that she won't see her son again and he fears the same as a lot more but i'm afraid that something could happen to her she got all the kids

out of state herself. many of the children end up here in russia where children's playground gives temporary relief but the laughter doesn't last long this can be. it is full of families and although organizers are doing their best to make it fun there's one thing if they can't organize to in the pricing more and more families are whining from ukraine's west of east and while they are all believed and grateful for having been given a place of safety away from the night me back home all they really want to do is go home police the r.t.e. rostov on don russia. for you bring you some other world news now first israeli warplanes have struck for weapon and militant sites in the gaza strip local civilians surveyed the damage in the southern region where large craters well and by the airstrike comes as the israeli army expanded searches for three missing

israeli teens television believes the isn't this militant group hamas kidnapped last week forty more palestinians were arrested bringing the total number to taint since the kidnapping to more than two hundred. and the news is the most gunmen have killed at least ten people mostly police in a fresh raid on a coastal town in kenya it comes just twenty four hours after another attack on hotels and a police station left at least fifty dead somali based militant group al shabaab has claimed responsibility for the attack along with a string of deadly assaults in the country last september at least sixty seven people were killed in a seizure at a shopping center in nairobi. at least one person has died and sixty more being critically injured as twin tornadoes ripped through the northeast nebraska in the u.s. measures increase were sent to search for further victims could be trapped under rubble in one town took a direct hit from the twisters with almost everything else damage including several

storage facilities for fuel drain and or. down to syria where barrel bombs have gone off in a rebel. neighborhood in the northern city of aleppo explosions blew off the fronts of appalled the buildings and killed thirty people at least two children and the woman among the victims of syria's largest city of aleppo has been split between rebel and government controlled areas since twenty twelve when the opposition motion offensive in the country's. so from a foot today where we're watching is in the world who have a fantastic day to stay with us that after the break it's the collie's the requote and at the top of the hour you'll be in very capable hands it's you know.

recently four hundred high level russian officials including duma members were summoned for a three day military training event that would include the use of various different weapons and lectures about the state of the russian military the stated objective of all of this was to make the average soldiers 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 cutesy who we can 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 hell 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. well no i'm talking about language as well but i will only react to situations i have read to reports. like. no i will leave the state to comment on you to. secure your car is on the job you know. no more weasel. when you direct question the proof for a change when you know you should be ready for a. pretty speech later down to freedom to.

war good. good oh well go back go to begin go be getting dinner free lesson day i want to cause a report i max kaiser and windstar one saying war oh yeah what is it good for absolutely nothing oh yeah oh yeah war oh yeah what is it good for absolutely nothing say it again yell while edwin starr may have been big in motown he was obviously no economic genius for in the pages of the new york times this week economist blogger professor tyler cowen argues that the problem for our economies in the west is that there just isn't enough all out war these days stacey . yes max this was a kind of tyler cowen he's

a professor at george mason university sounds an awful lot like tony blair as well also in the pages of the papers here in the u.k. was calling for all out war on the middle east well the headline reads the lack of major wars may be hurting economic growth and his argument is that the perception and persistence and expectation of peace is actually harming economic growth because the world just hasn't had that much warfare lately at least not by historical standards some of the recent headlines about iraq or south sudan make our world sound like a very bloody place but today's casualties pale in light of the tens of millions of people killed in the two world wars in the first half of the twentieth century even the vietnam war had many more deaths than any recent war involving an affluent country and even gives the chart max of these deaths as you see declining declining since the fifty's peace is deflationary and they're trying to create inflation so of course is in the interest of those who enjoy.
