crackdown let's take a listen to what locals have been telling us earlier today on. the they were they did it was did you do you did it was it was the body. those scenes were from the eastern ukrainian city of slavyansk this is what it looks like after weeks of artillery and air strikes people are having to deal with without food or water and power and many of those have been killed of fall from enemy combatant as artie's were money from ports. one family lost two members as a result of mortar fire the shell landed right in the backyard of a private residence a woman scrambled to get her son as soon as she heard explosions and one shift pick him up she was killed instantly while the five year old boy received multiple
2:03 pm
headboards it was rushed them all to college got good numbers to get to the lifeline donor said no and he started shouting i told you to get into the basement immediately she grabbed her son turned around and that's when the shot hit she was no more. they doctor was unable to save the child's life and the boy died during the operation the daughters worked all night trying to remove thirty shell fragments from his head his bother said in the shelling was conducted a formal occasion known as the base of the ukrainian forces elsewhere another orthodox church came under fire log on scare it was portion it destroyed and the shell killed its there taker now the shooting continues despite president poroshenko promised ceasefire and there he is the peace plan the fourteen point proposal to end the violence in the east was discussed with lot of may putin as well it was the second time that the leaders have talked over the phone about ukraine's crisis in a week and president putin has once again stressed the cease fire must be implemented in the region's. ukraine's president poroshenko has announced
2:04 pm
a weeklong ceasefire that has unveiled his fifteen point peace plan it includes a cease fire and guaranteed safety for all negotiating sides amnesty for those in the east of the country who agreed to lay down arms that have been committed grevious crimes the creation of a ten kilometer wide buffer zone along the border with russia changes to the constitution that guarantee the free and safe use of the russian language these centralization of power to the eastern regions of ukraine and early local and parliamentary elections however the plan is apparently none negotiable has refused to hold direct talks with the leaders of the self-proclaimed eastern republic. by for more analysis let's talk to mark the border a senior lecturer in international relations and security studies at moscow university it's always good to have you with us here in the studio let's start of
2:05 pm
start of with a portion called declaring the cease fire he has had a conversation with president putin none of that some of his statements haven't really fruit come to fruition so how are we to believe that this one particular with civilians are concerned will happen ok we've already had several declarations of a ceasefire throughout the past week by various political forces and military forces on the ground during all this time the artillery never stop showing the paramilitary forces never stopped advancing there's no reason to believe this should be any different in fact there are already some reports from the ground that mortar fire. positions of the lugansk military forces has already resume. so basically what you're saying is so far no no no no i think the declaration of a cease fire. is merely a p.r. move. by the poor genco regime in the run up it's not
2:06 pm
a surprise that the declared ceasefire ends on the very day that poroshenko was supposed to sign the e.u. association agreement let's talk about. talks being held with kiev appointed authorities in the eastern region so mean it's proving to be very constructive them ignoring the antigovernment of movement leaders the or is it. it is a little bit of orwellian double speak to call this a peace plan and i'm a little disappointed that any russian media network with a peace plan without at least putting it in quotes ok peace by definition is negotiated and poor shango has already declared that there will be no negotiation with the political. militant leaders on the ground in the eastern ukraine so this is not a peace plan this is an ultimatum a demand for the unconditional surrender under promise of extermination ok so let's talk about the plan it includes
2:07 pm
a decentralization of power early elections protection of the russian language i mean isn't this going to appease the very end to government activists who are looking for war right now so even three months ago this would not have satisfy these agreements the promises that there guaranteeing for the russian language were what they already had before the sports regime seized power and started to try to take away the russian language rights from the people as well this decentralization is not clearly defined but what we have seen so far is that only includes local executive committees but governors would still have the right to be overruled and appointed by kiev so there really is no decentralization. in this agreement and there is no greater protection for russian language than already has existed russia's u.n. ambassador believes you know other u.n. members are almost stalling this humanitarian resolution on ukraine proposed by
2:08 pm
moscow so why would they do that. they simply they have backed this government from before it was in power in fact they have supported and helped orchestrated. the riots the regime change that brought it to power and they have defended it's largely ignoring all the horrible details of the massacres and what amounts to an ethnic cleansing campaign against the terrorist campaign on the ground there is no way they were going to allow a u.n. resolution which would then the reputation of this regime that they have supported to pass through the security council i have limited time but i want to ask you this very quickly how are you at all up to missing that poroshenko can actually restart peace with his plans i think this is not the intention of the plans at all the intention of the plan is to ensure swift and thorough military victory as possible that is what this document says this document is in no way
2:09 pm
shape or form a peace plan it is an ultimatum and a promise of further military force must avoid going to have to leave it right there senior lecturer in international relations and a security studies at moscow state university i mean while moscow has demanded here for investigated the shelling a russian border checkpoint which saw at least one person seriously injured and in new york russia's ambassador to the u.n. has been giving law school official view on how to restore peace in ukraine are his words or their joins me live now with the details marina so what's moscow's position on ukraine's peace plan. well writing the seven day ceasefire announced by ukraine's president petro poroshenko russian bastards to tell you turkey and says it's premature to say whether russia supports the so-called peace plan ukraine's u.n. envoy previously claimed that moscow has already approved a plan but mr churkin insisted that that is not true the russian envoy also
2:10 pm
expressed skepticism about the plan noting that some demands like buffer zone with russia and unconditional disarmament could lead to even more bloodshed he also questioned the immediate rush by western powers to endorse the plan without even analyzing it insisting that the u.s. and its allies seem eager to back anything coming out of key with respect to the treatment of russian journalists in ukraine mr churkin insisted that they're being treated worse than prisoners of war he reminded the media of the journalists who were captured in may and hold to keep in secrecy where they were filmed being beaten and bruised the russian ambassador also spoke at length about the u.n. human rights commissioner is report on ukraine charging that it glosses over the government shelling of civilians and was tailored to coincide with keep his narrative mr churkin insisted that there was no sign of a bit objectivity in the report and the crackdown in the east of ukraine he says is referred to as attempts to restore law and order and civilian victims are said to
2:11 pm
be merely caught in the cross-fire he also slammed the un's refusal to acknowledge that a humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine is actually happening he said if this is not a humanitarian catastrophe what exactly is. ours is going to new york she was holding a briefing at the un with the. i think iraqi army and jihadi fighters gaijin fierce fighting over the economically vital oil refinery and tal a port report suggests government forces have been overwhelmed at the tal afar and surrounded at the refinery in washington says it's dispatching what it calls us three hundred military advisers to iraq let's have a listen to what president obama had to say because of our increased intelligence resources we're developing more information about potential targets associated with . them going forward we will be prepared to take targeted and precise military
2:12 pm
action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it. all to better understand how exactly the u.s. president is planning to help iraq let's listen to our sees every mountain as she picks up all the details of his speech in the latest edition of breaking the said here's a preview on her take on obama's words because he spoke mostly in a vague military jargon you have 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 it 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 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 iraq become a sovereign nation the minute the us will realize that it's of war in the country
2:13 pm
result in the creation of yet another failed state because see no western powers have done nothing but violate iraq's autonomy by dismantling its government wanting depleted uranium and white phosphorous attacks an occupied its people for the last decade this is all news to me. the reparative dance of islamic state in iraq and syria group is a major cause of concern internationally they're targeting the capital baghdad and plotting to establish an islamic order in the ruins of a failed state r.t. is going to chicken reports on how iraq could already be falling apart. iraq is on the verge of erupting isis is controlling a predominantly sunni part of the iraq shia sphere there further onslaught kurds could split off at any moment a secretary of war is brewing now the government would have to make a strategic choice putting the entire army to attack and take back that city and risk a much wider sectarian fight or have this group in control of an area that was
2:14 pm
a response with all the consequences not just for iraq for the region and for the world isis belongs to a faction of sunni islamic committee to the 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 the new 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
2:15 pm
a simple military solution to this issue isis is also controlling parts of syria fighting against the government the fight for astart 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 maybe the crisis in iraq is an eye opener showing how complicated the dynamics in the region really are. ganesh r.t. washington d.c. . originally numbering around ten thousand fighters the ranks of isis are not swanny by the day include. with recruits from the west intelligence analysts estimate three thousand foreigners have signed up with isis so far and britain's foreign minister says four hundred of them are believed to be british now the steady flow of fresh recruits isn't part to an intricate online campaign being carried out by a website with the hardest now and the efforts appear to actually being bearing
2:16 pm
fruit let's take a look here's one twitter user from the u.k. voicing his approval of the isis onslaught in iraq as well as in syria and here's another this time or from germany he's hoping the jihad is will claim victory and it's not just in the west the internet is filled with supporters of isis and they come from all across the globe europe the us or even asia artie's are first as more . far from the front lines in iraq and syria and another battle is being fought in the u.k. this week banned isis 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 isis fanboys well i've been speaking to some of the isis supporters online and i vs one station
2:17 pm
media why he's 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 here and i think. if you were to use this overused word in its. terrorism six places more than the one sort of that she got into trouble they're going to come back all the people here in the u.k. when are you going to have a trouble but i'm going with. the to constituents who is important for us. which has existed ever since nine eleven so 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 so but they just feel they're on the sort of wave of islam isolation of the world and then you've got the people who actually come back and
2:18 pm
who can spread who can become recruit first and that's a really dangerous thing that's amazing is the national security council this week prime minister david cameron said the government was doing street which dressed as a threat or a new faces including interviewing individuals if you take hold in canceling or with touring u.k. passports and introducing new measures to prosecute days he planned to train. terrorism of the rule. of four 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 stop these groups from pretty average why do you allow these groups to get stronger and stronger why do you allow certain countries to support them financially why do you think for participants in the last estimate the number of british fighters approved at four hundred and growing professor griffin tells r.t. the government now desperately needs to strengthen its response some of the most
2:19 pm
precious people coming by people who have been disillusioned by what's happened. and who can produce a counter-narrative people. seemed 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 i say this is not the enemy the west is so. reporting from london. and coming up shortly tensions and contested waters the tiny village in the philippines could soon turn into a multimillion dollar u.s. military base as washington expands its presence in the highly disputed and results

2:25 pm
investigating and accuse them of willful and action. is a pretty strong in the police we know there are some people the will to do their job but at some point you have people in here that are blocking the fight and when those people 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.p.l. training in an official building that was being leased by the police if the police thought. they are training with their rest i'm really have no desire to talk to us when we contacted them but their complicity speaks for itself these issues are 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 arenacross revive reports in from paris

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 and cetera and i think when we are 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. it's almost time for sophie khoja finding out whether your observed ready to brush environmental concerns under the carpet and embrace all while i'm guess fighting.
