a be. invaded by the u.s. troops of the journalists good could operate them. no physical problems arose for them from the government this is not the case a bit until now and kiev's military offensive in eastern ukraine is showing no sign of letting up three civilians an elderly woman and a married couple were killed on the outskirts of slavyansk on tuesday weeks of continued shelling have devastated that city with four churches also coming under fire since kiev launched its operation in april footage for you now from the neighboring city of kramatorsk where local militias say nine people were seriously injured when shells hit self defense checkpoints and a residential area tens of thousands of civilians are fleeing the fighting on the worsening humanitarian conditions in eastern ukraine but while russia is sounding the alarm over a looming refugee crisis kiev denies there's a flood of people leaving the region and here's what some ukrainian refugees she

went to russia had to say along with some of the people helping to accommodate them . issues you know. there were threatening those who were seen at self-defense checkpoints or attended an independence referendum they said they would come to their homes and shoot them very curious you know in russia except you know that there was there when you were here if you are given a place to stay and live as we've organized nutrition for them and they're now working on getting them jobs. ukrainian legislators are calling for martial law to be imposed in southeastern ukraine had to come to get the full details as well as our minute by minute updates on the volatile situation. where baghdad is on high alert with isis militants approaching the iraqi capital it comes after a week which saw the militants taking one major city after another sunni jihadist

have reportedly been conducting mass executions releasing thousands of prisoners and taking over military hardware obviously he kept it off reports. armed to the teeth determined to conquer on the march across iraq the islamic state in iraq and syria also known as isis is quickly emerging as one of the world's most powerful jihad is groups the groups goal just what the name implies an islamic sunni caliphate stretching across the middle east isis already controlled large swaths of land in syria and iraq's anbar province last week they moved on iraq's north. seemingly overnight isis captured the second largest city of mosul more than half a million residents were forced to flee. we were afraid of isis and escaped more

soon because they have no mercy there are people they kill they have no conscience that was justice. start after mosul a lightning speed advance towards baghdad with cities and towns falling to isis along the way as iraqi soldiers fled their posts they left behind tanks humvees trucks and weapons paid for by the americans and now in the hands of isis the militants have their supporters to the shiite dominated government of prime minister nouri al maliki has alienated iraq's sunni population isis is also believed to receive financial support from sympathetic gulf monarchies and with iran backing the iraqi government there's fear the internal conflict could become a regional one all sides are bracing for the worst in the capital shiite militia men are responding to a call to arms from their religious leaders ready to defend their capital and their

faith the iraqi army is also fighting back but this means airstrikes against sunni cities and that could make the already sectarian conflict go from bad to worse sitting out the fight at least for now are the americans with the hottest determined to press on the question is for how long. you see captain r.t. . well the u.s. has already sent one hundred soldiers with almost twice as many set to arrive later but those are not combat troops washington's also received a warning from cattle that any military intervention to prop up the iraqi government would effectively mean war on the entire sunni arab world and as we can take a look now the middle east is a mixture of various religious groups marked here on our map in red they are the countries where sunni muslims make up the majority those include cattle and america's closest ally in the region saudi arabia iraq is currently under shiite

rule and isis obviously wants to change that washington is now considering teaming up with iran in order to actually prevent that military affairs expert eric margolis says the current turmoil in iraq is breaking up traditional alliances and creating some rather strange partnerships you have more interests or you know. she whom behind the scenes who are students so. we're very. much goes through a group. that's very ironic because not just only a few weeks ago. congressman you know never talked to your army runs a terrorist nation nearly. no one wants a girl in greece that so-called terrorists who cause their mourners.

internal feeding all the medical management of prisoners with weight loss we spoke to professor mark denbeaux whose probe into the two thousand and six deaths casts doubt on the official story of events what we have is compelling evidence however of the men they didn't appear in the manner that the government claims the government claims they own themselves in their cells by committing suicide. and the problem with that is there were five guards watching twenty four cells not all of which were occupied and there were five guards and alternatives including several walking the short little corridor costly and videos and if you read through the n.c.a. as investigators. you would read that the men were have been dead more than two hours when they were brought to the clothing and there were more. you know if you
