i. cry for help iraq's asking the u.s. to carry out air strikes against sunni insurgents as jihadists and taking control of the past the pace than even the american troops managed during the two thousand and three invasion. all the fighting in eastern ukraine leaves the city of slovyansk with no water electricity and almost all its hospitals closed while the president's repeated vows of a cease fire are yet to be fulfilled. plus the by the russian president's left red faced up to alexander lukashenko to a phone prankster pretending to be the son of ukraine's ousted president.

welcome my name is deal harvey and you're watching international. iraq the u.s. to launch air strikes against isis militants who seized large parts of the country to harvest have been closing in on baghdad since taking the country's second largest city more than a week ago and the closest i've come so far to the capital was on monday when militants attacked the city of baquba which you can see down here that's just sixty kilometers away from baghdad. managed to repel that offensive and we can see now recent footage from the northern city of baiji where the insurgents tried to seize iraq's biggest heinrich the government forces. as well. taking one major city after another. this also managed to put together

a glossy report outlining the group's fifty's to see cool has been. fifteen thousand fighters ten thousand operations in iraq one thousand assassinations and all last year alone the state of iraq and syria now known more notoriously as isis has been slicing through iraq moving closer and closer to baghdad and they're running a slick modern p.r. campaign to even publishing an official report of their activities using computer generated graphics it paints a clear picture of the terror organization including the types and amounts of weapons they use their strategy details of operations and targets and former intelligence officers claim it produces its press releases like a giant corporation trying to create an image of a world structured disciplined and effective organization or to attract funding but their actions speak loudly too as isis fighters have almost to reach the iraqi

capital killing scores of people along the way in just around seven days while during the u.s. led invasion of the country it took the allied forces twenty two days to reach baghdad the alternate goal of isis is to create a new islamic state merging parts of iraq and syria into one now it's believed that the movement grew out of al qaeda in iraq emerging from the chaos the two thousand and three invasion to day it has fifteen thousand fighters most of whom are thought to be from neighboring middle eastern countries but around two thousand are believed to have come from europe including britain isis has also become known for extreme brutality including widespread beheadings and crucifixions most of its funding is traced to southeast asia particularly indonesia the country with the biggest muslim population on earth and would following the arrest of high profile jihad is there it's that extremists are now turning their attention to the conflicts in iraq and syria. washington may have an official request from baghdad

to act but u.s. defense officials are reportedly lacking intelligence information to carry out precise and strikes american defense analyst if anyone says that getting involved in iraq again would be a major blow to the federal budget providing more weapons to the iraqi military i think would be a nightmare of a half of the weapons of already ended up in the isis hands or least a lot of weapons have so then you have the other thing is a good be a ground campaign or it could be a full fledged air campaign and the economic consequences of course all of that cost money and the united states is already has a seventeen trillion dollar debt and i think we're already overextended around the world and to get back into iraq is going to cost more money and more billions and i think as i say the american people are tired of not only the lives lost american lives overseas in these places but also the money spent you know they've spent trillions in iraq already. and if you had

a website you can follow live updates on the march of towards baghdad as well as the international reaction to the incident. weeks of intense attacks by the ukrainian army of the eastern city of slovyansk paralyzed continued combat and army artillery fire have left it without both water and electricity local officials say almost all hospitals are closed while. stuck because they have no petrol food supplies are also being disrupted but the self-proclaimed officials in the region earlier warned of a looming farm in residential areas in the city on nearby villages have been badly damaged by shelling locals say they live in fear of almost daily attacks. you know what are they doing well they ever be punished look what are they doing. in which you move what do i listen to this night was even worse than the previous one we were sitting in the cellar everything was exploding it's so frightening

what's happening about the city is don't want to leave anymore a lot of us are here please anybody help us do something they're destroying slovyansk slogans are you going to unfairly shoot at night they kill people bastards the man who lives there how does leg torn off bastards we're going to dig graves now i don't know time. ukraine's president petro poroshenko was promised a unilateral ceasefire by the army and he said it will be very brief but enough time to allow anti-government forces to lay down their arms for a show and go promise to put an end to the bloodshed in eastern ukraine at least twice since it took office let's take a look back at what has happened in the volatile regions in the last three weeks since he was elected. dozens of civilians were caught up in the violence with residential areas frequently becoming the target of artillery fire

a number of civilian deaths since the start of the military operation two months ago a surge to two hundred fifty seven according to u.n. estimates. the city of lugansk saw one of the worst the tanks hit central square came under army airstrikes here claims it was only targeting the checkpoints of local militia in the suburbs but europe's top security watchdog confirmed to the explosion in the center of the ganske was the result of an aerial assault. the violence against journalists in eastern ukraine has reached unprecedented levels that's according to reporters without borders two russian t.v. crew members were killed by army shelling earlier this week the number of journalists who died while covering kiev's military operation now stands by other reporters have been detained beaten and threatened.

and there are allegations kier of use banned weapons in its assault on the defiant city of slavyansk locals claim they were attacked by incendiary bombs which included white phosphorous and they said the ground didn't stop burning for some time. and to government forces are skeptical about the cease fire proposals and claim that the army is preparing to continue its operation would cost the neil clark believes that president poroshenko wants a truce just to buy time so he can press on with the offensive later because haven't gone to plan for the ukrainian authorities here they launched their offensive against the so-called terrorists in the east several weeks ago and has launched a plan the fact is they haven't been able to regain control of parts of the country as we know the people in the east are still there they're fighting back even the casualties on the forces and i should look for fear that what we could be seeing here is playing for time he might be calling for the cease fire to kind of low

people into a false sense of security. and then a free launch this offensive and so i see it we're going to be very cynical we've got to wait to see the actual details. spain will be crowning a new king today later on we take a look at what a change of throne really means for the spanish people and whether the new monarch has enough strength to withstand the challenges he faces in the cash strapped country. should the united states for once beloved one i want to be the ramifications of its own policies why should russia want a country called rape in the united states there because it's in russia's interest to do so because they want to be nice to the u.s. but because the amount of the state in iraq. is bad news for all the same countries in the region rusher iran the united states do funnily enough have

a pretty urgent common interest in stabilizing the situation. dramas that's trying to be ignored. stories others who refuse to notice. the faces changing the world writes now. to picture of today's leaves. from rhodes to the. local. t.v. . international good to have your company now it seems that even presidents are not immune to phone pranks the leader of the roofs received

a call from who he believed was the son of ukraine's ousted president viktor yushchenko which the conversation featured promises of political asylum and extravagant treats it's also unclear who leaks the embarrassing phone call r.t. is going into camp has more. a russian prankster who goes by the name of von braun rang up the administration of the president of bellows and introduced himself as the son of victor young accomplished the ousted president of ukraine he got to talk to the bell russian president alexander lukashenko himself during the conversation the princess suggested that his father may have to move to bellows because there's a chance he could be handed over to kiev the man pretended to be worried that the current authorities in kiev may not treat the ousted president well the belorussian president who never shies away from using colloquial language in public was even more candid doing what he thought was a private conversation. quarter of problem that you know which an emotion unusual

push push it where it will start restoring order when you put. then the president of bellows showed a great deal of hospitality inviting the ousted ukrainian president and his family to stay in bellows yes or courtship three years could globalist broke the reporter over him a third term universal gift which i'm just. reports of starved for to search. cornish you know to pour over him and go to the corner over to mr bush. turn the truth for you are sure. to thank him prankster van offered the president a gift. to each of the issues. but. if you do the work could you could i believe most of you who sure. they're talking about the golden loaf that was found in the residence of the ousted

ukrainian president many treasures were found there well anyway the president of bellows seems to have bought every bit of that prank and he's now angry alexander lukashenko gave his security service a week to track down the russian trying to start or else he said he would send the head of his security service to prepare quote feed for cattle. but the prankster duped not just the belorussian president and his administration but also those who had apparently hacked into the phone call decided it was the real thing and leaked it before the prankster himself revealed the truth about one suspects that it could be the ukrainian intelligence service it's no secret intelligence service is by on the world leaders we remember who tapped the angle of merkel's phone they may have some interesting bits of leaders private chat in their collection but probably not a prank like this. to stay with us here on r.t.

international still to come this hour julian assange two years in the embassy limbo we take a look back at the achievements of the chief of the wiki leaks and reveal why british authorities spent thousands of pounds on ground but told surveillance of the small building where he's home. security inspections capital madrid is on the highest alert in years with a new moniker to be crowned later today the incoming king philippe will inherit the throne from his father juan carlos ortiz takes a look at the challenges the new boy is facing. almost four decades since one carlos took the throne in spain being treated almost as a hero he has left the palace with a better reputation his family's biographer says he son philippe faces an uphill battle and. one carlos and a totally different they have different who isn't a different mentality they formally found

a friend whose dictatorship the latter was brought up in democracy the question whether this could aid the new king or turn him into a brussels style bureaucrat at a time when the royal family's reputation has hit an all time low one of spain's most vocal opposition figures is skeptical claiming the change of face inside the palace would not change anything is standing they talk about canteen he will the keynote liqui the president but it's this system that need to be changed not particular persons people are demanding changes and the latest election to hear a parliament proved it the two biggest what is lost it then and it's not difficult to see where such resentment stems from almost a third of spain's working population is jobless and the government is increasing social cuts the educated king may not have been directly involved in this but is still associated to have played a role in causing the difficult conditions ordinary spaniards are experiencing a serious of royal scandals corruption case involving the family of the king's

daughter and the grossly expensive elephant hunting trip to what's want to aggravated the attitude. even after juan carlos announced his abdication people were in the streets paralyzing the spanish capital they say the country needs a total political revamp and are pushing for a referendum to ask the question should spain remain a monarchy or return to a republic but according to those initiating it the government is not so keen on holding it. there is not going to be a referendum as the prime minister said that's why we are organizing a referendum done by the people on. well the people with the education of one of europe's longest standing kings questions are being asked all across the continent where the europe's mourner cues will survive in the twenty first century and spain brace itself for another string of anti-monarchy protests it seems many especially young people have lost trust in the next generation of rulers. reporting from madrid in spain. spanish correspondent british years to go via the host of in the

now and he said now we talk more about what spaniards really think about the royals . people in spain care well definitely people in spain in spain care and that's why thousands of people took on the streets to the streets recently i mean people actually wanted to have a referendum they really wanted to decide whether they wanted a king still in spain or they just wanted the team to beat out for ever so that was the main concern in a monarchy kind of state or going back to a republic because it's an expensive emmett's to hold up oh yes definitely these house these royal house is going to cost these here twenty fourteen almost eight million euros that's what's going to coast to maintain all the royal family some people who appreciate the royal family all those people who are very conservative.

and i think that your. we keep leaks chief julian assange she's marking his second anniversary holed up inside the ecuadorian embassy in london despite his self-imposed incarceration there's no sign of the whistleblower raising the white flag instead he's promised another massive leak of information affecting fifty countries police tracked the twists of his two year long diplomatic and legal saga. step out of one of the world's most famous department stores and there's always a policeman nearby they're not worried about shoplifters but the perpetual presence

of one man inside that building it's two years since julian a son sought refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy inside a bottom floor flat in this red brick mansion in that time the wiki leaks editor in chief has still managed to run for the australian senate and become the subject of a hollywood film he's also had to share the title of the world's most famous whistleblower after n.s.a. contractor edward snowden revealed details of mass government surveillance programs last year two years inside the building for a son also means two years camped outside it for the london's metropolitan police the bill for guarding that door in case a son should ever emerge is something like eleven thousand pounds a day the ecuadorian ambassador admits his nonpaying tenant is suffering but sweden won't give assurances the whistleblower won't be extradited to the u.s. if he travels to stockholm for questioning over allegations of sexual assault which

means the ecuadorian ambassador isn't ruling out the possibility his unlikely houseguest could be rattling around inside that building for the rest of his life reporting from london i'm pauline boyd. during a conference call marking two years since his confinement to song was lost for words against us all forward to use and expressed his support for fellow whistleblower edward snowden despite the worldwide which the wiki leaks editor in chief still has a lot of supporters he says you can count on our two spoke to one of the few previously gave refuge to the whistleblower. course it occurred to me there may be one day consequences for me and my family but. i haven't actually i'm not a whistleblower. i have supported whistleblowers but i haven't actually whistleblower and i'm a journalist and i think that you have to take some risks for want to believe in

the has been a very well funded attempt to discredit and and make life difficult for whistleblowers and julian assange and wiki leaks and there's even a sort of dark marketing campaign against them that's been absent massive t.v. this needs resolution i mean jews are being you know hasn't had any sunlight or fresh air for two years and i think it's cruel it's hard to see how any change can happen because the british government seem determined to continue spending all this money to sort of maintain a gobble me at the embassy in the u.s. to come fix of being put to death using lethal injections that's despite the continued control of a c. over the effectiveness of the drugs used and the recent botched execution back in april it took an oklahoma convict almost an hour to die in agony of the he was injected with an experimental cocktail of drugs the details including the composition of the drugs or if they were even tested before they used on people

a cat secrets of us austin sirens believes that lethal injections have over the years proven themselves to be less than reliable there are questions which are now being raised which will be litigated in the united states about whether or not it is constitutional for states to go forward with these executions under the veil of secrecy we're not exactly sure with where they got the drugs from and we're not exactly sure what combinations or dosages they actually they actually use you need to put this in a broad broad historical context so if you look over the course of the twentieth century knighted states about three percent of all american executions were botched . in the most recent we will injection has proven to be the least reliable technology of execution in the united states about seven percent of all the flu injections have been botched let's round up some of the we'll news for you now we'll start with libya where the country's authorities have condemned the u.s.
