let's start. in life there are and there are facts. today's top stories in the review of the waves headlines ukrainian military and opposition blame each other for ignoring a declared cease fire while moscow says pushing caus peace plan looks more like an ultimatum. fierce fighting goes on in iraq with islamist taking control of new territories and forcing millions to flee the violence while washington considers airstrikes to stop the militants and as things new king is sworn in we'll look at some of the highlights of his predecessor's rule and the challenges facing the monarchy in the cash strapped country.

hello there welcome you're watching a weekly here on r.t. international. now the ukrainian army an anti-government protesters in the east are pointing the finger at each other for violating a cease fire imposed by president bush as part of his peace plan on friday it follows a terrible week for local civilians who lost over a dozen loved ones as a result of army shelling. is that the that is a good thing what. do we. need to. know that you. could then you would not. let these districts. go out where they're going to where you want to go to hitler. gruesome footage was apparently shot in calmer toscan shows the are the mark of an artillery attack on tuesday ten people are believed to have been killed then and as

you can see buildings are full of good holds bodies scattered out side in a similar attack on neighboring slavyansk a young mother and her five year old son were killed when a mortar shell landed in their backyard but they wanted. to. do we did it was a good. teacher get all the self-esteem. that has been suggested to them. while the military crackdown in eastern ukraine has turned cities across the region into ghost towns tens of thousands of people have fled remaining residents are struggling to find food or medical supplies long queues for water and empty shelves in grocery stores are common seen in large cities like slavyansk. meanwhile the u.n. has called for an investigation into the death of two russian journalists who were killed in the ukrainian army shelling near the city of against this is the moment

when they were killed i. the crew from the u.s.c. a one channel were filming the refugees when a mortar shell exploded next to them correspondent hugo was severely injured and taken to hospital but died on the operating table is sound engineer was also killed in the shelling ukrainian authorities claim it was anti government forces behind the deaths and ukraine's representative at the un has implied the journalists had only themselves to blame for being in the wrong place at the wrong time or the only surviving member of the three man crew shot this video and described the moment the shell struck. who knows but we went to the place where according to the information we got there were refugees self-defense groups were helping the refugees to flee the areas under attack and when i reached the forefront of the self defense activists told me to hide behind a big car and i film from that spot this self-defense activist raised his hands

showed the refugees the safe part and at this moment the first shell exploded and damaged his hand now a journalist stayed further away at the chance and i turned my head and saw that the second and the third shots went up exactly where they were i didn't see my colleagues as my view of them was blocked by trees i only managed to film people dragging away of self defense activists he had no legs there was a road between us between our journalists and me i could hear mortar shells exploding all the time they both had press written on their clothes but that didn't save you in an attempt to ease the tension in the eighty cranes president came up with the pace plan that includes an amnesty for those who agree to lay down their arms and have been committed to the crimes the creation of a ten kilometer wide buffer zone along the border with russia and changes to the constitution to guarantee the free and safe use of the russian language also the decentralization of power to the eastern regions and local parliamentary elections

and one of the plan's top points is to guarantee safety for all negotiating sides russia has supported the plan but says it's unlikely to work without dialogue. you know that we 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. while showing america's firm support for the ukrainian leader is the u.s. vice president who's coming to care for a second time in his many months in the 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 secretary of state john kerry laying flowers his assistant victoria nuland handing out cookies.

senator john mccain offering support from a down protest at syracuse where do you. think america's presence in ukraine has been visible since the crisis began late last year and that presence is only 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 he's cast interests are secured for for his son watching. 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 and the new country should interfere with your friends of another key senator john mccain talking to me in kiev in december need to make it clear. to the russian government

where in their putin their 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 continual procession of u.s. officials in amounts of kiev and the promise of financial and military aid represents its own form of 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 did that were and so what they supported is more really instability and address so this. 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 from support to interference carty. crane pins its hopes of gas supplies on europe as the report later kiev looks for other gas supplies after moscow cut ukraine off on monday and put it on the prepayment system for failing the page and. now the news iraq continues its struggle against radical incisions that is sweeping across the north of the country they are now within one hundred kilometers of baghdad and plan to form a new islamic state this week the jihadists managed to continue their advances. pieing several iraqi cities even though the army did manage to push them back from the capital they've also managed to capture a key town on the syria and iran to order the fight against the islamic state of iraq and syria group known as isis has forced around one million people from their homes distressing reports from the occupied territories tell of the mass execution

of captured soldiers and civilians isis takes pride in its violent methods and even uses it to promote itself is r.t. as you compete in off reports. 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 slavic 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 to date 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 because she would the biggest muslim population on earth 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 the middle aged in iraq after the u.s. led invasion and has been launching regular terrorist attacks on the country in twenty thirteen alone the group carried out more than four hundred strikes not as washington considers getting involved in the conflict by sending in the air force precise bombings of militants defense analysts even a million 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 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 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 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. coming up after we will tell you why the missing israeli teens in the west bank might jeopardize security across the region. eugenics but eugenics vulgarize ation of darwin science and punishment for an uncommitted crying i was there a lot is to learn from being innately feeble minded still today for the few i don't know why enough to live by the still the don't know why genetic improvement through forced sterilization the basis for nazi ideology they don't stop at just sterilizing yet again and now go to the point of death. for years rarely discussed

on till now i'd really rather not talk about that right. choose your language. because you know if they feel some honest. truth to the concerns you could. choose to opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories that imply good life choose be access to your office. 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 dragged their feet they did declare early on the uprising. was a terrorist organization. and others were terrorist organizations and prescribe

them but it did very little to carry through with that and to force its allies to equally prescribe those groups. i welcome back now europeans could be facing a cold winter if russian gas destined for ukraine get started and gazprom has will make my start siphoning off the fuel from transit pipes running to europe to moscow cut off supplies ukraine for failing to pay its massive bill parties peter all of reports from berlin. well what we've been hearing from the e.u. energy commission. is this it's well get ready for potentially a cold winter ahead now this comes after ukraine had its gas cut off by russia

after it failed to pay billions of u.s. dollars an outstanding bills ukraine is the main point of transit at the moment the getting gas into europe to many european nations rely on russian gas as either their main or in some cases their only source of energy if those supplies are siphoned off well it can have an effect as it has in the past when ukraine's being cut off and they start to take that gas they did it in two thousand and six last time was in two thousand and nine seventeen countries here in europe reported shortages ates were completely without any gas amongst those the most worst affected countries like bulgaria and slovakia we saw real problems there when it came to keating to industry that was pretty much shut down so it is a big deal if you crane starts to take this gas is destined for europe since it's being cut off for the failure to pay its bills to create does take this gas it

could have huge repercussions for those who have paid their bills in europe barrett editor in chief of the business new europe magazine believes the you should hold ukraine responsible for any shortages russia has always been a reliable supplier of gas to europe even in the cold war when we really were enemies with them the soviet union. the soviet union continued to deliver gas the problem here with you know the insecurity in 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 meets gas it simply siphoned off gas that was headed to the west now more us will. supplying ukraine they will continue to supply what they're contractually obliged to send to western europe the question here is whether ukraine will simply send back us and not take any for itself and the question remains open well the gas has gone up in flames

quite literally a powerful blast of a pipeline transporting gas to europe through ukraine has triggered a major blaze and that follows direct threats from the country's radicals to target the transit you can read more about this at r.t. dot com and also online human rights watch slams bahrain for cracking down on those who use cameras to expose police violence against anti-government protesters those stories and more at r.t. dot com. spain's new king has been sworn in but the mood in the country is far from celebrating hundreds of anti monica said rallied in madrid shortly after king philippe took to the throne to protest spirit is strong in the stereotype a nation with millions of spaniards being pushed deeper into poverty the sentiment is also aggravated by the rule families to see a lavish lifestyle and as a result this crowning ceremony was kept. one car stepping down signaled an 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 not many royals would pose in a controversial photo either having shot dead an elephant whilst on safari in africa and being a king motorcyclist did nothing to harm his image among his people but what many will no doubt remember him for most is the time he told the late venezuelan president hugo chavez to shut up. i don't think i was yellow well the outgoing king is not the only european leader famous for his catchphrases the u.k.'s you could end famously told british students in china that they risk looking like the locals if they stay 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 historian felix mora told r.t.

that the era of charismatic royals is a. word we generally used to have very charismatic kings these days they're used by the government and people don't trust so much in them juan carlos was very charismatic and funny that he was close to the people however philippe is more functionary and this might be a problem for the mortgage he has used them and now palestinian teenager has been killed by israeli troops during a raid in the west bank following last week's abduction of three israeli children the military pride with live ammunition to stones being hurled at them during a protest against the crackdown for an explanation we spoke to an official from the house creep which television holds responsible for the kidnapping and an israeli defense representative 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 in 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 we are operating against hamas at all levels all the israeli intelligence information doesn't give. any solid. proof so they have these what they're calling. it is. something good. this is likely. something inconceivable more than seven hundred thousand people in. now under siege and nobody. from the world community but i think. this is a good is that international law should be condemned by the international community let's have a look at some international news in brief now a south korean soldier has killed five his comm rate and injured seven more at a border post with north korea the twenty two year old sergeant is armed and has

fled the scene the motives for the rampage still unclear. heavy rain still triggered massive floods in east and south china have left over a dozen people dead officials say some three million people have been affected in thousands forced to seek refuge that impulse also caused major power outages and blocked roads. hundreds of afghans have rallied in kabul the over election for all joyn presidential runoff elections held last week earlier front runner and former foreign minister abdullah abdullah said he would refuse to recognize poll results he also promised to appeal to the united nations to deal with the case move has been supported by the current president karzai. to the u.s. now where surplus military equipment from foreign war zones is being handed out to the police the government has been stuffing local stations with an arsenal of heavy equipment including armored vehicles aircraft and machine guns artesian report i

find out why. well as a very good news 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 only 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 launched her eyes that are 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 gresham 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 her annoy about that her that i don't like it usually excuse the armed

police like they're intimate you know. like the people of afghanistan and we got a problem using that as a way to militarize the police or 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 philadelphia police commissioner ray lewis police the government is trying to public safety full. 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 can state. where they shot someone and killed so many innocent people and they were not high caliber weapons can you imagine

a 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 off its all for this 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 well they'll make billions off a police department's more news for me in about half an hour's time coming up next the. documentary russia hi jean. 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 or willian 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. my. gut. cross-talk rules and i think that means you can jump in anytime you want my. thanks to.
