there the latest developments and a look back at the last seven days you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. now ukrainian army and anti-government protesters in the pointing the finger at each other for violating a cease fire it was implemented by president push and co on friday as part of his peace plan but as these pictures show each ukrainian has continued to suffer in ten shelling and bombing with fatalities among civilians. well you know all the news it need to. go where you're going to go you're going to go to new here let you. know you could then you would not go to the meeting year flood to detroit you know you. didn't let's give you a. good little tour not doing that but it's like that but they would. do we want to do what

they want but we're pushing his plan to restore peace in the east we'll see amnesty for those who lay down arms it also includes a ten kilometer buffer zone along the border with russia more power to the region and guarantee safety for all negotiating sides although put a shank himself is refusing to hold talks with the leaders of the self-proclaimed republics russia has supported the plan but said it's unlikely to work with that dialogue. you'll just it's the peace plan has a number of automating like demands it lacks the most important thing those negotiations and that's a radical step away from the geneva agreement which is supported in their rhetorical at least by all our western partners including the us the e.u. and the ukrainian authorities. meanwhile the un has called for an investigation

into the death of two russian journalists who died in ukrainian army shelling near the city of lugansk. the crew for the rest one channel were filming a report at the time of the attack thirty seven year old correspondent hugo was severely injured and taken to hospital but died on the operating table his sound and in engineering was also killed in the shelling to other russian journalists were apprehended by ukraine's national guard and spent two days in captivity they say they were beaten and threatened with execution. yes. we were stopped at a national guard checkpoint and asked to get out of the car and show our id when they saw our russian passports and found out that we were members of the t.v. channel they change their faces they started joking that they'd caught a goldfish or won the jackpot they force us into a car and we were taken away our eyes were covered in eventually we were pushed

into some basement at gun point different armed people were coming to us threatening us they promised to shoot us and buried us in the field they said they hated russia and would do everything not to let us go live then we were dragged out of the cell and force into a car we were beaten by rifle butts. showing america's firm support for the ukrainian leader is the u.s. vice president is coming to here for a second time in as many months in their latest phone conversation joe biden assured petro poroshenko that the u.s. will not abandon ukraine artie's pull scott looks at the long trail of american politicians backing ukraine's new government. whether it's secretary of state john kerry laying flowers his assistant victoria nuland handing out cookies. senator john mccain offering support from a down protest sarah is what you i mean america's presence in ukraine has been

visible since the crisis began late last year and that presence is a growing as u.s. vice president joe biden again visits kiev his son hunter is settling into his new job on the board of ukraine's largest private gas provider certainly one of the reasons provides president biden might be going personally would be to ensure that these gas interests are secured for for his son washington officials arrived full of praise for the new kiev government despite its crackdown against saying represents the will of the people america claims it's keen for the people to be heard on the no country should interfere with the affairs of another key senator john mccain talking to me in kiev in december need to make it clear. to the russian government and let in there putin that interference in the affairs of ukraine is not acceptable to the united states of america or to any other free country in the

world ok the message is clear but critics argue the presence of the vice president's son on the board of a prominent gas company the continuing procession of u.s. officials in amounts of kiev and the promise of financial and military aid represents its own forward interference which only prolongs the conflict in the country and let us not forget that the western leaders also supported the overthrow of the attic of its government and what that that were and so what they supported is more really instability and i've read so this was. their support really means nothing to the internal card for. it's going to continue as we see it so against the backdrop of unrest in the east and continuing talk of sanctions and threats against russia vice president joe biden becomes the latest u.s. official to touch down carefully making sure he doesn't cross the line or support the interference carty. ukraine pins its hopes of gas supplies on europe as we

report later kiev looks for other gas supplies after moscow cryan off on monday and put it on a pre-payment system for failing to page energy bill. iraq continues its struggle against radical insurgents that is sweeping across the north of the country they are within one hundred kilometers of the capital and plan to form a new islamic state the insurgents have captured four raqi cities along with their control point on the syrian border fight the islamic state of iraq and syria group known as isis has forced around one million people from their homes reports from the islamist occupied territories tell of the mass execution of captured soldiers and civilians while one of the fiercest battles this week has been fought for the control over the oil centers of by she it accounts for more than

a quarter of the country's in. the facility process is process is about three hundred thousand barrels a day and all this goes to petrol stations across the nation as well as the power stations the army managed to retain control over it but fighting is still going on seizing the area would be a huge victory for isis which is complementing its assault on the ground with this slick social media campaign you can piece it off as the story. 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 cast of the two thousand and three invasion today 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 said extremists are now turning their attention to the conflicts in iraq and syria. well isis imaged in iraq after the u.s. led invasion there and has been launching regular terrorist attacks on the country in twenty thirteen alone the group carried out more than four hundred strikes that as washington considers getting involved in the conflict by sending in the air force against the militants defense analyst yvonne allen says going back to iraq is not something the american people would like to see providing more weapons to the iraqi military i think would be a nightmare they have to the weapons of already ended up in the isis hands the least a lot of weapons have so then you have the other thing is a good be a drone campaign or it could be a full fledged air campaign on the economic consequences of course all that costs

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 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 you without international are going to take a quick break now i'll be back with more news in the company's. your views on any people are all about what they're going to do but it is really think the european union's a job they don't listen to should they re we. do mean the european union very upset what can you do about the ukraine for example.

speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the c.o.r.p. interview intriguing stories are you. trying. to find out more visit. and i welcome back now ukraine is preparing for the winter months with russian gas after failing to reach an agreement on price and pay its enormous debt was put on a pre-payment system it means it will get exactly as much as it pays for but since it refuses to do so moscow has cut off supplies by ukraine's expectations are linked with european promises of gas supply to the country but as

a core set of explains that is highly unlikely. europe can do just fine without russian gas well maybe on paper and in several decades but now not a chance this map shows you just how dependent on russia each european state is fords gas right now every placement present terminals can be built overnight even if they could the world bank estimates that prices would shoot up roughly fifty percent now try selling that to taxpayers. american shale gas can replace russian supplies it's no secret the u.s. is dying to start selling gas to europe but unfortunately the atlantic ocean is pretty big gas prices in europe are simply too low to justify the shipping costs and it would say about two million tanker trips a year to satisfy europe's the man so you can sort of count that only about four hundred gas tankers actually exist and you've got a problem it's simply not going to happen in the foreseeable future. lives in the

e.u. market would be a huge blow to russia that might have been true in the past but things to china anymore now and here's why the world gets through about three trillion cubic meters of gas a year and china's projected to start consuming two truly and so there is certainly no shortage of appetite for russian gas especially now that they're finally got a thirty years gas the place. ukraine can find alternatives to russian gas kiev sons of delegations to brussels to discuss how european gas can be an alternative to russian energy the hope is that slaughter will reverse the flow in pipelines and start pumping gas to ukraine unfortunately that's not likely even nations gas contracts with gas from four big plane a round with pipeline flow and frown on reselling russian gas in simple terms gas from could high prices for europe if it started rousselin so ukraine at

a profit for itself and more than that the aegis capacity to send gas to ukraine would only satisfy a fraction of kiev's needs. barry's editor in chief of business new york magazine believes kiev is the only one to blame for disrupting not only its own supplies but putting europe in them back to. russia has always been a reliable supplier to europe even in the cold war when we really were enemies with then the soviet union. the soviet union continued to deliver gas the problem here with the insecurity and russian gas supplies is not russia it's the fact that it has to go through ukraine and ukraine is more or less bankrupt has been unable to pay for its gas and so when it needs gas it simply siphoned off gas that was headed to the west now what russia will do if they do stop supplying ukraine gas they will continue to supply what they're contractually obliged to send to western europe the question here is whether ukraine will simply send that gas and not take any for

itself and that question remains open well the gas has gone up in flames literally a powerful blast of the pipeline from gas to europe three ukraine has triggered a major blaze that flop that follows direct threats from the country's radicals to target transit we can learn more about this at r.t. dot com also their human rights watch bahrain for cracking down on those who use cameras to expose police violence against anti-government protesters. all of your. pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure.

spain's new king has been sworn in but the mood in the country is far from celebrating hundreds of anti monikers have rallied in madrid shortly after king philippe took the throne the protest spirit is strong in the your stereotype a nation with millions of spaniards being pushed deeper into poverty the sentiment is authorized by the royal family's perceived lavish lifestyle and as a result the crowning ceremony was kept. of fun carlos stepping down signaled and end of an era as a gifted sailor he competed in the nine hundred seventy two olympics and following a military coup in the eighty's he went on t.v. in full army uniform and ordered troops back to their bases and not many royals would pose in a controversial photo having shot dead an elephant whilst on safari in africa and

being a keen motorcyclist did nothing to harm his image among his people but what many will no doubt remember him most forward to the time he told the late venezuelan president hugo chavez to shut up. thank you for the things that i was yellow or the outgoing king is not the only european leader famous for his catchphrases are the u.k.'s duke of edinburgh famously told british students in china that they risk looking like the locals if they stayed too long in the country and the current king of sweden criticised by some media outlets for being a party goer defended himself to the press saying there's a broad definition to sex and strip clubs political analyst may go and show me. told r.t. about the challenges that lie ahead for spain's new model. he's very different from his father he's very much his mother's son very discreet but that is precisely what the spineless need now want now understeer king the problem is for him is that the

circumstances are not the right circumstances for the spanish morning it has lost a lot of christie she is not clear whether it is retrievable that christie and then let's say the debate about the form of the state more likely or republic is already out in the street and the figures are not do not look very well for the morning a referendum in would mean that the legitimacy of the institution of the morning he would be subject to public decision that is something i don't think they will ever accept and not on top of that there is that territorial problem whatever the result in a referendum would not be favorable in regions such as catalonia or the basque country so that would show us late in the country that could be very dangerous from the point of view of the conscious unit so no i don't think that is happening very soon . a palestinian teenager has been killed by israeli troops during a military raid in the west bank following last week's abduction of three israeli children will say the military replied with live ammunition to stones being held at

them during a protest against the crackdown for an explanation we turn to israeli defense representative and an official from the hamas screen which television hold for sponsible for the kidnappings we have forces on the ground trying to locate the people on the other hand we have our intelligence capabilities which we are putting a huge amount of effort and that our primary concern is the safety of the boys so we can't. expose everything that we know at this time when we need to course when the situation permits so we of course bring the information forward at this time i can say with full confidence that hamas is behind that and for that reason started breaking again like we must have the origins of russia for. what it's like doesn't prove. any solid or tangible proof so they have these what they call a massive crackdown on something like a punishment something inconceivable more than seven hundred thousand people and.

now under siege and nobody. from the world community trying to do anything this is a good is that international law should be condemned by the international community not a fan of whistle blowing web site wiki leaks is still in great demand this week marks the second during the sounds being how would the ecuadorian embassy in london coming up in the program we find out why he still face stepping out of the self-imposed prison. he had inside the game lights and we investigate the origins of russian football hooliganism and what it's like now. the u.s. now west's press military equipment will be used even. the troops pull out of foreign war zones the american government has been stuffing police departments with an arsenal of heavy equipment including armored vehicles aircraft and machine guns

artesian report i find out why finds out who they are preparing to fight. well as america can use winding down its longest streak of war soldiers are returning home and so is their military arsenal a used armored vehicle that will be used during swat calls and other emergency situations nine foot tall mine resistant trucks specifically designed to survive roadside bomb attacks are parked all throughout the u.s. local and state police departments have acquired more than four hundred m. wraps and silencers and tens of thousands of m. sixteen machine guns and night vision equipment the new paradigm is it's the military paradigm militarized police and the problem with that is when they look at american citizens often they see enemy combatants this is all made possible through america's military transfer program created in the ninety's when violence and drug gangs plagued major cities today crime in the u.s.

has fallen to its lowest in a generation and the special response team in richland county south carolina looks like this ready to take on the taliban should it invade the self this year the thing that it's doing is basically just making it more and more obvious there are people who are being unsure eyes that our police forces are being turned into soldiers iraq war veteran emily yates says her country's law enforcement is being trained to fight against the public instead of serving to protect it they should be trained to deescalate any violence or aggression that's happening but instead the police are showing up and causing violence and aggression people are just afraid all the time and for no reason our country has never been invaded we have no foreign armies at our doorstep however a sheriff in indiana claims his county needs m. wraps to protect against possible attacks by veterans returning from home i see

a lot of paranoia about veterans i don't like it usually excuse the armed police like they're in you know. like the people of afghanistan and we got a problem using that as a way to militarize the police for whatever they think might be coming in the future a future where america's local police forces will be prepared for war but who will they be warring against marina port r.t. and from the philadelphia police commissioner ray lewis believes the government is trading public safety for corporate greed high caliber weapons are extremely dangerous they have a very high ricocheting velocity and that means that innocent people are going to get killed and injured they will be shot they can go through doors they can go through cinder block they can go through metal car doors and this type of velocity is not necessary think of ken state. where they shot so many and killed so many

innocent people and they were not high caliber weapons can you imagine the massacre that would take place if officers had high caliber weapons they will sell this high equipment the repair the maintenance for this will come from taxpayers' money corporate america will make billions offices office equipment you heard of the prison industrial complex you heard of the military industrial complex corporate america now wants to make a paula lease industrial complex where they'll make billions off of police departments a shooting rampage at the south korean border post and other news is just ahead. you need to be hopeful even from plug into what you meant is he loves nothing more than being entertained abused and trying to prove really global which will come any job that's right. the political acumen that you did with going to the biggest forcing you to. stay cold so we could be forced to respond.

to what we call twenty four see what's this here we've taken control of brazil. we did raise it. what about washington getting tougher on its allies like saudi arabia because it's no secret that saudi money was a crucial factor in the rise of the extremist can bomb or to take on the united states drag their feet they did declare early on the uprising. was a terrorist organization. and others were terrorist organizations and proscribed but it did very little to carry through with that and to force its allies to equally prescribe those groups.

we speak your language. school music programs and documentaries and spanish matters to you breaking news a little too much of angles stories. you hear. that surely the spanish. visit. but. i didn't know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy but there's so little. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked right handful of friends dash

all corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem for trucks rational debate and real discussion critical issues facing them that they have done for you know ready to join the movement then welcome to it. again welcome back now this week marks the second anniversary of the songs being how would up in the ecuadorian embassy in london the founder of the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks still faces an arrest warrant issued by the swedish government but is the saunders lawyer explains it's no sweden that he's particularly scared off. his main concern is and has always been the risk of our money extradition to the united states and the ongoing us grand jury and criminal investigation into

that we know is ongoing and we know that because of court documents released last few months so that is arming and i think it's important to remember this two year anniversary that it is as a result of the u.s. action in relation to regulate the persecution and would you thinks that julian remains inside that embassy. because in the u.k. who threaten national security might face life sentences according to legislation proposed by the government but i get his fear that whistle blows could end up in the same category with cyber terrorists explains 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 a single a turk can have such a dramatic effect let's.
