in the very warm welcome to our international our top story 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 as large parts of the country have fallen into the huns of al qaeda linked militants known as isis now these red areas you can see are where you how this have full or partial control president obama said the troops will remain in iraq until the situation improves and to see it as more. 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. . on monday isis released these photos seeming to show the mass executions of iraqi soldiers the country's chief military spokesman said the pictures worth sent take

and show around one hundred seventy soldiers killed however the group claims it executed ten times the amount. reports the growing might suggest the center rock 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 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 terrorizing people the sick caring component video walks crises is already training 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 the isis militants move out of the security and boy in iraq which started after the u.s. the u.k. invasion in two thousand and three today some of the politicians who made this decision to invade are anxious to wash their hands of the u. case tony blair wrote we have to liberate ourselves from the notion that we have caused this we haven't 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 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 become the government they're pushing the militants out however enhancements and their return only a matter of time. right. now isis emerged in

iraq right after the u.s. led invasion and pledged alliance to. it has been fueling the sectarian violence in the country proclaiming an independent state within the territory of iraq syria lebanon palestine jordan with the u.s. now sending troops back to the country washington is looking to play a major role in the fusing tensions there is the view of political analyst edmund. i 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 force. forces a. state in syria and iraq also uses the drones to attack these forces and the opposite 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 and

. for governments that were put in charge i think ought to be a huge responsibility for the disaster that we have seen a new iraq since. but just before isis launched its offensive in iraq's north and released the propaganda video partly aiming to lure more people into their ranks now the video was called the clanging of the swords for an as an hour long film featuring some very graphic scenes that show the soldiers being executed cars and postures by going down in tanks being blown up by the footage has been removed from you tube multiple times but it's uploaded over and over again from different accounts play kl analyst chris bambery believes brutal videos like this and shippers not just across iraq but the entire middle east. one brutalized secondly of course is well they're well used to social media and terms of projects and cells but the fact that in addition we've been talking about you know police

they know what to eat the executions and saying i've killed the shia adult you know that is going to buy a car in terms of the course the region as i say in the neighboring governments all over the road will be very. very keen whatever the past the things that will be up to the maliki government to buttress the maliki government against this against isis because this goal major repercussions potentially for talking for around and every other country in the region whistleblower chelsea manning has accused the u.s. of lying about iraq the former u.s. intelligence analyst and wiki leaks informant ses 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 sit. sunday manning released a new york times op ed and titled the fog machine of war and what 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 and 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 while under 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 a likely to produce quote favorable coverage based on their past reporting also get preference. ok we've got some news just coming into us sunni militants have attacked north east of baghdad killing forty four prisoners dollars according to local police in a separate development the country's biggest oil refinery has been shut down in the

a cold winter ahead now this comes after ukraine had its gas cut off by russia after it failed to pay billions if u.s. dollars an outstanding bills ukraine is the main point of transit at the moment the getting gas into europe to 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 teaching 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 and i just remind you in two thousand and six half of europe 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. more breaking news here in r.t. international this hour a russian journalist has been injured in ukrainian army shelling near the city all of the gallants the reporter from the rest of your t.v. channel was reportedly taken to a local hospital with a serious injury now the suburbs of the council have come under heavy artillery fire over night when we know more about the story we will bring it to you ok still

ahead for you we report why a new law aimed at curbing cyber terrorism in the u.k. wants to jail hackers for life and why the idea may feel. i cannot think right. now i. want if the public. likes to. i marinate in the financial world. to moments i may not stop because it is very lonely take no demand for credit. and life there and there are but.

i i. i . welcome back a new law on cyber terrorism in the u.k. would see her jailed for life but some in the security industry claim the move well designed to protect people from cyber crime could ironically make the internet less safe. has more in the story. in today's digital age committing a serious cyber crime could land you a mega sentence and a 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 or manufacturing business or to you know for people to boil water you know to sterilize baby feeding a quit 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 or disrupt the capital's transport those are concrete area columns and either trying to do those things are actually doing that that's what people should be sentenced for benevolent 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 common. of the ensign that could end up behind. say philip 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 act those are the kinds of problems where people can to face computer misuse challenges without really having done anything wrong. lots of news online few as well of course including tarnished image greenpeace mail-o. longer be seen as a global jupiter suffered emerged on a full week from the organization to a record five million dollars in a currency gamble for more on the scandal and greenpeace his comments on it at dartmouth are. also very group of mobile app developers have come up with an inventive solution for parents to straighten their children and take their eyes off their phones during meal times find out how it works on our website. right on the scene. first street view and i think the teacher.

a local hospital the suburbs of the council have come under heavy artillery fire over night. coming up after the break the terms of domestic violence speak out it's about trying to rebuild their lives you're watching r t international. 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 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 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.
