we will be prepared to take targeted and precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires the white house is considering strikes to help stop the advance of jihadist forces through the devastated country . also we report on how the militants in iraq are being boosted by waves of foreign volunteers from the west raising worries that on their return to launch a new jihad in europe. so there's no letup in the military assault on eastern ukraine with more people killed in the latest shelling despite president poroshenko promised ceasefire. i

i and spain is welcome to new king but it is not all celebrations with hundreds of. rallying in the capital. welcome once again my name is the ill harvey and you're watching r.t. and. first for you this hour america d.t. use air power in iraq that was the vow of president obama who said that any action would be precise and targeted jihadist militants are currently sweeping their way across the country to help combat the threat washington sending three hundred military advisors their party is going to put nine has the details. president obama is leaving the door open for further action saying that the u.s. is prepared to take targeted military action if the violence in iraq spirals

further out of control because of our increased intelligence resources we're developing more information about potential targets associated with. him going forward we will be prepared to take targeted and precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it now that's a complicated gamble because u.s. intelligence agencies are having a difficult time targets including insurgent encampments training camps weapons caches and other stationary supplies and the u.s. president says allow iraq to turn into a safe haven for isis poses great dangers to the u.s. and its european allies which is why some action needs to be taken of course the criticism is that iraq might not even be on the brink of a civil war if it was not for the u.s. invasion while addressing the press even president obama said quote recent days have reminded us of the deep scars left behind of america's war in iraq unquote and

obama's speech on washington's plans to help iraq is one of the features of today's breaking the set with abby martin you can watch the full show a little later on today here on a c but just for now here's a quick preview. because he spoke mostly in a vague military jargon you had to listen closely to understand the underlying u.s. response to isis is growing influence while obama insisted no troops would be sent to actually engage in combat he did announce they would be sending up to three hundred military advisors to the country sounds innocent right unless you consider the fact that so-called military advisors were the original precursors to the us invasion of vietnam not to mention that two hundred seventy five troops have already been sent to quote secure american interests in the country but probably the most interesting part about obama's speech was his claim that iraq is a sovereign nation that has the right to choose its own leaders seriously when did iraq become a sovereign nation the minute the us and realize that it's of war in the country

result in the creation of yet another failed state because seeing how western powers have done nothing but violate iraq's autonomy by dismantling its government launching depleted uranium and white phosphorous attacks and occupied its people for the last decade this is all news to me. the latest reports from iraq suggest that al qaida linked militants have taken a vital oil facilities in the city of baiji however the final targets remains of the jihad is reportedly planning to create a new is the miss states within the ruins of the country that is already falling apostate tsotsi is gone and she can now report. iraq is on the verge of erupting isis is controlling a predominantly sunni part of the bach shia sphere there further onslaught kurds could split off at any moment a secretary of war is brewing now the government will have to make a strategic choice putting the entire army to attack and take back the city and

risk a much wider sectarian fights or have this group in control of an area that was a response with all the consequences not just for iraq for the region and for the world i says belongs to a faction of sunni islam committed to radical fundamentalist convictions that they seek to impose on other muslims their advances have long stopped being just iraq's problem these darker green spots are where the population is predominantly shiite you can see iran is the main shiite power in the region syria is largely sunni but the government of bashar assad is alawite which is a branch of shiite islam isis being an extremist sunni force has managed to advance this far both in syria and iraq because of the support of sunni communities on their way iran wants to help iraq's shia government repel the onslaught of isis an initiative which washington seemingly supports but targeting sunni areas which isis controls could create a backlash with other sunni nations getting involved like saudi arabia which has

already warned against foreign intervention there's not going to be a simple military solution to this issue isis is also controlling parts of syria fighting against the government of bashar assad these problems are intertwined in a really demonic way u.s. politicians have tried to present the conflict in syria as being between those who want democracy and those who don't for many of the crisis in you walk is an eye opener showing how complicated the dynamics in the region really are going to check on r.t. washington d.c. . of the kurds living in northeast iraq are also fighting on their own battlefront after isis launched its advance kurdish forces were able to push the islamists out of the city of kurd cook taking control of a vital oil center and as defense consultants more and rove believe scourge of being given a chance to create their own independent state. of the country has been broken away

as it is except it's not officially broken where they wanted to separate the oil rich a kurdish region in the north away from the main iraq it's been set up from the beginning from the ninety's the americans gave them the possibility of a semi autonomous region now all it is is the been running the kurds have been running their own kurdish region since the ninety's. and now all they're going to do is break away from iraq once and for all and declare independence the isis group fighting in both iraq and syria is estimated to have around ten thousand soldiers at its disposal with volunteers coming from all parts of the world and the reports indicate there are as many as three thousand foreigners within their ranks and according to the u.k. foreign minister around four hundred of those are british citizens of a steady flow of recruits is also maintained by the pro isis campaign that is being

staged on social networks with many internet users actually voicing their support for the militant group online there is one such twitter user from the u.k. this is what they had to say voicing their approval of the isis onslaught in iraq and syria is another this time from germany and wishing the jihadist that they end up victorious and it's not just in the west the internet supporters of isis they come from all across the globe be that europe the us or asia as r.t. sarah first explains. from the front lines in iraq and syria and another battle is being fought in the u.k. this week band. making it an offense to be a member of the group but the organization is still enjoying a wave of online european support dubbed by some the ice fan boys well i've been speaking to some of the isis supporters online and i vs one station

media why is supporting isis despite the reported killings and he's applied for me that he. has come the closest yet to establishing an islamic caliphate why do you think isis holds such appeal for some of the people back home and i think. if you were to use this overused word in its. terrorism so give plays is more of a threat the ones that have actually gone to chapel they're going to come back all the people here in the u.k. when are you going to have a child to be identifying with. the two constituents is a potential threat. which has existed ever since nine eleven in a way that constituency has always been that it's possible that they'll be more encouraged by. what's happened in syria and become more active not as a direct result of some. feel on the sort of wave of islam isolation of the world

and then you've got the people who actually come back and who can spread who can become recruits for the really dangerous thing that's a meeting is the national security council this week prime minister david cameron said the government was doing all it could to dress the threat posed by foreign fighters including interviewing individuals the u.k. borders canceling all with touring u.k. passports and introducing new measures to prosecute days he planned to train. terrorism. before should be united states and its allies have known about isis and their activities and the danger they pose for a few years why haven't you stopped these groups from leverage why do you allow these groups to get stronger and stronger why do you allow certain countries to support them financially why do you allow foreign partners to get into the last estimate that the number of british fighters abroad at four hundred and growing professor griffin tells r.t. the government now desperately needs to strengthen its response to some of the most

precious people coming by people who have been disillusioned by what's happened. and who can produce a counter narrative of people. seen them killing an explosion does to a baby and comes back intent on stopping it that other side of the story could be more crucial than ever much of the british population watches in horror the grisly images of some of the killings taking place in iraq at the hands of isis fighters but to its european supporters ice this is not the enemy the west is. so i think the reporting from london. here is up to you will be keeping our fingers right on the pulse of events in iraq both on screen and online which means you can log onto our website r.t. dot com and get the very latest updates on the story along with expert opinion and

analysis. in eastern ukraine four people have been killed during the latest military offensive in the city of slovyansk a thirty year old woman died when a mortar shell hit her backyard five year old son was taken to hospital with multiple head wounds where he died of his injuries in the shelling continues despite president poroshenko as promised cease fire under his new peace plan what exactly the fourteen point proposal to end the violence in east suggest will be revealed later today earlier discussed these ideas with putin it was the second time the two leaders have talked over the phone about ukraine's crisis in a week president putin is once again stressed the cease fire must be implemented in the regions. meanwhile was prosperous cities are looking more like ghost towns now tens of thousands of people have fled the affected areas and those who remain suffer from water food and power shortages not to mention nonstop artillery

attacks and also there are large queues forming on the border with russia as people hurried to take their children to safety. it's very scary to see flying planes any time i saw them i ran to my mommy and daddy and tanks are also very scary. the fire gunshots at us and shelled us we had next to a couch in the basement we were very scared. it's a battlefield the constant find my parents hide in the basement but i think full to have a scared because we wouldn't have lasted long i don't understand why they're doing this we've lost everything. when radicals came into my city and started shooting people we had to leave the scariest part was when armed men came to our house asking about our landlord a few days later my son told me that they shot the landlord. next the russian

journalist who was killed in mortar shelling in eastern ukraine is being laid to rest here in moscow and you can see here live pictures from a memorial service which is taking place at the headquarters of the receiver one t.v. channel that is where eager cornell you worked as a correspondent as you can see that underway now with friends and family members and colleagues laying the flowers and paying their respects. screw were caught in the ukrainian army shelling while they were filming a reporter in a village just outside lugansk connally was severely injured and taken to hospital but he died on the operating table originally from ukraine in self you could returned to report on the government's so-called anti terror operation in the east he was willing reports all over the rest of region eager corney luke was thirty seven years old he is survived by his wife and seven year old daughter is that what you refuse to argue with that is because if you. have to move now to spain where

hundreds of anti monarchists of rallied in madrid shortly after the new king for the pay the six was sworn in the protest mood is high in the austerity plagued nation and is being aggravated by the royal family's perceived lavish lifestyle artie's correspond to. reports. just a few hours after spain had its new king officially sworn in people have hit the central square of madrid in a protest against the monarchy the mood here is quite determined they are angry they're saying that mourners he has to go we're hearing chants of monarchy means murder and monarchy is fascism not what these people are saying we've already seen scuffles i've seen at least a dozen people being beaten on the ground by the right police and taken to police violence even one of our cameraman from the r.t.s. when your crew got hit by a police we have definitely seen larger protests over the past several weeks particularly on june the eighth one which it was practically paralyzed by

protesters many people voicing concerns that spain must not remain mourner keep it must become a republican this is pretty much the demand of these people it's quite loud what they're saying but they are unhappy with their living conditions six million people are unemployed in spain that is almost a third of the country's population they say that a change of the face inside the royal palace will not change anything the whole system needs to be changed. to come here on r t this hour the best defense it seems is of good dolphins a radical group claiming to protect the rights of jews does by intimidating its victims with death threats. still to come a tiny village in the philippines could be transformed into a multimillion dollar military base for the u.s. that's in a battle for the resource rich south china sea. on

marriage in the financial world. goldman cannot stop and take credit. in life. and there are. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks of the c.r.p. interview intriguing story are you. trying.

to find out more visit or a big t.v. . in watching r.t. international next for you this hour for years jewish people have often found themselves the target of hatred and physical intimidation but it seems that the bullies have become the bullies or at least for one extremist group namely the jewish defense league later today a trial will begin in paris of. never know. they have a strong following and a clear message as only we are here present we are jews noble and cruel we are well trained well equipped we're not afraid and we should be more afraid of us than we are of the the jewish defense league claims his goal was to protect the jewish community from hatred and anti-semitism but some jews accuse it of doing the very same thing it's meant to be fighting against and these people say the organization

is not protecting anyone but it's liking those who don't share the same views and opinions jonathan mol adopted claims he felt the rocks of the league when he started researching them in paris i exposed with my friends. felony crazy for doing this in september two thousand and twelve my car of been bombed by a. bomb i received death threats and a couple months ago i went to cover a protest against anti-semitism reconnects me and there were like fifteen people jumping on me break a my camera and beaten me beating me up on the ground what is being done to prevent this from happening again what is the police doing at one point they intervened and took me out of the protest and i told them there were many of them on the place so i told them why don't you a resident oh you would do anything you would create a riot the jewish defense league is an international right wing organization even

though it's considered a terrorist group by the f.b.i. it's completely legal and countries like canada and france where it has around three hundred members. the crease is present of course but it's not everywhere so we have to do what they are incapable of doing correctly from attacking left wing students propose to me in groups and even writers at their own book launches the league has been accused of being behind a string of violence but the victims say the police have no interest in investigating and accuse them of willful and action. it is strong and in the police we know there are some people the will to do their job but at some point you have people in europe here that are blocking the five one those people that go on trial the judges most of the time they're being they're being lenient in two thousand and four a documentary actually filmed members of the j d l training in an office full building that was being leased by the police many were quick to connect the dots if

the police are calling them or training them the league had no desire to talk to us when we contacted them about their publicity speaks for itself do not get in our way because will hurt you very very very badly various local movements in and see racism activists have called for the group to be banned the french authorities have ignored those calls and those who feel victimized by the group are left looking over their shoulder marina cost survive reports in from paris forty. the jewish defense league burst into the limelight several years ago that was following perceived anti semitic comments from the popular for years and john galliano yeah he's been caught on camera local cafe in paris apparently expressing his love for. the group responded by later targeting the premise premises covering it in posters labeling galliano an enemy of both israel and friends.

and you head over to our web site r.t. dot com you'll be able to discover more about a new tool aimed to keep protesters pay and it's hitting the markets tell you all about the new mini drones that can fire pepper spray paint balls and what critics say that they're dangerous being underestimated. and it's the world's biggest ally in the sky the european southern observatory has blown the top of a three thousand meter high mountain in chile just so it can set of the largest ever tell it. next the small village in the philippines may have to make way for a huge u.s. military base that's this part of the asian nations fights over the resource rich south china sea military cooperation with the u.s. could bolster america's presence in the region where washington already has tens of thousands of troops at dozens of bases this month the nation will hold naval drills near the disputed territory with the philippines saying that beijing is trying to

steal from right under its nose journalist james corbett believes that putting more pressure on china could lead to a bit of conflict. this has to be seen as just part of a trend towards the deepening of the us and philippine military alliance that goes right along with the developing us japanese military alliance the us australian military alliance so i think this has to be seen as more part of a regional trend that's developing both china and the us and its allies are playing to their pull respective political bases and they're looking for economic stimulus that comes from militarization so they are looking to divert more government funds towards the defense sector i think it's part of a feedback loop where one side makes a move so the other is seen to respond to it so the other side responds to the response etc and i think when we're caught in that type of feedback loop it runs the risk of running into a some type of military confrontation scenario simply because when you have all of these ships in these highly disputed territories that are at times running into

each other as we start to see these types of incidents that could become a hot war scenario perhaps inadvertently thousands of children remain a sing their mothers a fall this is becoming a red luxury and that's because the crippling economic situation in the country is driving paris to sake work abroad but the strive for a better future is already coming at a high cost is often single piskun off explains. it's become very rare that ten year old willing to guess to see her mother she left romania to work in italy a year ago leaving her daughter with her grandparents. it's very sad because i have no one to talk about my problems to this under he is younger and much more introverted he prefers to spend more time alone both of his parents work in germany while he's also being raised by his grandmother. they sent me toys and clothes but i don't remember when was the last time i saw them. unfortunately nowadays in

romania in cases such as well in china and injuries are far from unusual so this here is called the heart of wishes filled with notes from the children where they wrote their wishes and they were told that they would come true next year so all these notes are about parents for instance this one says i wish my mom would come back from london bring toys and then would go together to another countries another one here says i wish my mom would come back from italy and i wish my dad would find a job sure these kids haven't been abandoned by their parents in fact one of the main reasons they want to work abroad is to ensure a better life for them but the long distance relationship can be much harder on children than it may see they feel isolated. might feel depressed they feel lang. and they may be not having so much friends like this. according to official figures over eighty thousand remaining children have

their parents working abroad but n.g.o.s are reporting much higher numbers region three hundred fifty thousand since most parents used to head off without notifying authorities the situation is they see here especially when the mother is leaving. mainly for the smaller kids because they're very attached to their mothers and also. especially when the girls sort of donna's sons and they need some guidance and support recently the government passed a law obliging all parents not only to notify the states when they head off to work abroad but to appoint someone to be responsible for their children in court while they're gone but frankly with the average salary in romania barely reaching four hundred euros per month it's unlikely parents will stop looking for work abroad any time soon you go to spin off r.t. bucharest romania. you stay with us here in our international after the break it'll

be tons and eight and she will be guiding us through the latest financial headlines in the latest edition of boom bust. so are we going back to iraq recently violence has flared up as insurgents are taking cities from the current iraqi government and response to this chaos obama declared that his administration is prepared to take military action whenever our national security is threatened oh well since the weapons of mass destruction were never found in iraq and the current militants can't shoot a key forty seven over the ocean i don't see how us national security is at risk now or before the iraq war even started but on the other hand the flow of oil from us but tamia well that might be at risk but sometimes i forget that obama is a politician and just a day later he was quoted as saying quite the opposite about the same situation

declaring that we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq which sounds great to my ears until you wait yet another few days and now he is saying that they want to send at least two hundred seventy five troops to provide support and security for u.s. personnel and the us embassy in baghdad i think this orwellian attitude towards the truth comes from two factors one lying works and obama gets away with it and to the fear of looking weak presidents have to act confident like they were total control of that awesome plan even when they have no idea what they're going to do i think this is the case with this iraq issue but that's just my opinion.

hey there i marinate it this is boom bust and these are some of the stories that we're tracking for you today. first up the tax man is coming for you your bank account holders that's right the i.r.s. has announced tougher laws on tax cheats and we'll tell you all about it coming right up then pick up mall broom is on the program today the politics and policy experts is helping give us some perspective on the u.s. economy and clue us in on how politics and policy and geopolitics impact the financial markets and in today's big deal i'm joined by our two year a big correspondent i will come da sitting down with me to fill us in on the latest economic happenings in around the middle east it's all done up to.
