ghost towns tens of thousands of people have fled remaining residents are struggling to find food or medical supplies long queues for water in empty shelves and grocery stores are common seen and large cities like slovyansk all two russian journalists were killed in the ukraine army shelling near the city of lagos this week the un has already demanded an investigation into the deaths and this is the moment where the tragedy occurred. the crew from their a c a one channel were filming a report about this group of refugees when a mortar shell exploded next to them correspondent carney luke was severely injured and taken to hospital but died on the operating table he sound engineer was also killed in the shelling ukrainian authorities claim it was anti-government forces behind the death and ukraine's representative at the u.n. has implied the journalist have only themselves to blame for being in the wrong

place at the wrong time the only surviving member of the three man crew shot this video and described the moment the shell struck. we went to the place where according to the information we go it's they 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 is self-defense activists raised his hands show 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 check i turned my head and saw that the second and the third shows went up exactly where they were only managed to film people dragging away their self-defense activists he had no legs there was a road between us between our journalists and me i could him mortar shells exploding all the time they both had press written on their clothes but that didn't save them for you it attempt to ease the tension in the east ukraine president came

up with a peace plan. and it includes an amnesty for those who agree to lay down their arms and having committed to view of crimes the creation of a ten kilometer wide buffer zone along the border with russia changes to the constitution to guarantee the free and safe use of the russian language and the document also suggest the nation of power to the eastern regions and early local and parliamentary elections one of the plan's top points is to guarantee safety for all to go she having signed although her shankar himself is refusing to hold talks with leaders of the self-proclaimed republics russia has supported the plan but said it's unlikely to work without dialogue. if they're still present profession of view the fact that president poroshenko declared a truce is a vital part of the resolving the crisis and you see the most important number it's crucial that this crusade paves the way for

a dialogue between the fighting sides that's the key to success. it's in the media well the report also said maura taylor a fire is taking place near the russian border on the graham side on friday night a russian checkpoint was shelled by the ukrainian military injured a border guard it happens when some two hundred refugees were crossing into russia . showing america's firm support for the ukrainian leader is the us vice president who is coming to kiev for a second time in as many months and they are a latest phone conversation joe biden assured petro poroshenko that the u.s. will not abandon ukraine 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 at 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 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 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 and the new country should interfere with the affairs of another day sen john mccain talking to me in kiev in december need to make it clear. to the russian government and let him 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 for a session of u.s. officials in and out 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 on the grass so this reality why they saying their support really means nothing to the internal codd. it's going to continue as we say it so against the backdrop of on rest in the east 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 policy. now the winter in europe could be

colder than usual this year find out later in the program why agree a once again start slicing off russian gas destined for the. israeli defense forces have raided several media offices in the west bank are teaming them destroying equipment and confiscating records the raid came as part of a military campaign against palestinian authorities whom israel accuses of kidnapping three israeli children our correspondent was in the office when it was attacked a large group of israeli military broke into the office of the firm which provides services for a number of satellite companies including as you can see several rooms have been damaged by the troops including editing. the internet went to all three because of that action we lost our cars and some other material completely office furniture

and computers are broken smashed computer equipment and hard drives have been seized. power media the company that's office was targeted during the raid was already attacked by the israeli army earlier this month in jerusalem the army broke into their media center and tel aviv believes the channel is inciting terrorism for an explanation of events in the west bank we spoke to an official from the hamas group which tel aviv holds responsible for the kidnapping and and 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 efforts 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'll 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 that whole days that i even did against information. so they have these. massive that it is they could act down and that's something like a quantum leap to punish me in something inconceivable more than seven hundred thousand people and that and. now and that a siege a nobody. from the community that i am to do anything this is that it is that should not no should be condemned by that definition of community iraq continues to struggle against radical insurgents that are sweeping across the north of the country the militants from the so-called islamic state of iraq and syria group known as isis are within one hundred kilometers of baghdad and this week the job is to manage to continue their advance occupying several iraqi cities even though the army did manage to push them back from the capital latest reports say they have

managed to capture a town on the iraq syrian border where another branch of the same group as fighting at least forty people have been killed in an air strike on the city of to create which is also controlled by isis and that's as distressing reports from the islamist 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 as are now 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 to 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 to day it has fifteen thousand fighters most of whom are thought to be from neighboring middle eastern countries but around two thousand are believed to have come from europe including britain isis has also become known

for extreme brutality including widespread beheadings and crucifixions most of its funding is traced to southeast asia particularly indonesia the country with the biggest muslim population on earth and would following the arrest of high profile jihad is there it's that extremists are now turning their attention to the conflicts in iraq and syria. washington is considering getting involved in the conflict by sending in the air force to bomb the militants and has already deployed three hundred military advisers to help the iraqi army but the fans our style of anyone 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 the weapons of are already ended up in the isis hands a 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 and more of the week's top stories in just a few minutes here on to international to stay with us. 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 a bomb or to take on the united states would drag their feet they did declare early on in the uprising that al qaida was a terrorist organization. and others were terrorist organizations and proscribed them but it did very little to carry through with that and to force its allies to

equally prescribe those groups. the. economic down in the final long stay the. night and the rest because i. believe if we. welcome back you're watching our future national humanity commissionaire going to europe has a warrant out for you should get ready for

a cold winter that after the grain was cut off from russian gas after it failed to pay billions of dollars of debt ukraine is a major transit partner in delivering gas to europe where business and households rely on russian fuel for some of them it's the only source of gas and the main fear now is ukraine could start siphoning the gas off as it's done before the first time in two thousand and six and then in two thousand and nine because of a crisis. times declared a state of emergency and bulgaria had to shut down some of its industrial operations as moscow guarantees it will meet its contract obligations barrus editor in chief of the business new yorker magazine believes it's my break to deal. russia has always been a reliable supplier of gas to europe even in the cold war when we really were enemies with then the soviet union that the soviet union continued to live in the program here with the you know the insecurity in russian gas supplies it's 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 or us will do if they do stop supplying ukraine they will continue to supply what their contractual be obliged to send to western europe the question here is whether ukraine will simply send that gas and not take any for itself and the question remains open. now some of the transit gas from russia has already been switched to reserve five one after an alleged terrorist attack in ukraine earlier this week find out what happened on the line. boss human rights watch slams bahrain for cracking down on those who use cameras to expose police violence against anti-government protesters . spain's new king has been sworn in but the mood of the country is far from celebre torrie hundreds of anti-monarchists have rallied in

madrid shortly after king felipe into this round of protests spirit is strong and you stared and played nation with millions of spaniards being pushed deeper into poverty the sentiment is also aggravated by the royal family's perceived lavish lifestyle as a result the crowding ceremony was kept low key. juan carlos stepping down signal today end of an era as a gift to say or be completed in one thousand nine hundred eighty lympics following a military coup in the eighty's he went on t.v. in the full army uniform and ordered troops back to their bases now many royals will. posed in a car virtual photo having shot dead an elephant whilst on safari in africa kane motorcyclist's did nothing to harm his image among these people but what matthew will no doubt remember most as what he wants told the lady venezuelan president

hugo chavez. the good thing but i don't know while the outgoing king is not the only european leader famous for his catchphrases the u.k.'s duke of edinburgh famously told british students in china that they risked looking like the locals if they stayed too long in the country of the current king of sweden criticised by some media outlets for being a party goer defending himself to the press saying there is a broad definition to sex and strip clubs the story folks more told r.t. that the era of charismatic royals is over. 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 he was close to the people however if you leave is more of a function the reason and this might be a problem for the more keys he's doing. now this week marks the second anniversary of julian assange being holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london the founder of

the whistle blowing web site we can still face and arrest warrant issued by the swedish government but as the songes lawyer explains it's not sweden that he's particularly scare at all. there is and has always been the risk of bombing extradition to the united states and the ongoing us grand jury and process to get into a queue makes that we know is ongoing and we know that because of court documents for relays must be months so that is our main concern and i think it's important to remember the strain that it is as a result of the u.s. action on immigration to regulate the persecution and when he thinks that julian remains inside that embassy. hackers in the u.k. who threaten national security my face life sentences according to a distillation proposed by the government but activists fear that whistleblowers could end up in the same category with cyber terrorist boy boyko explains in today's digital age committing a serious cyber crime could land you a mega sentence under the serious crime bill proposed in the queen's speech

computer hackers who launched devastating attacks on u.k. infrastructure could soon face a life behind bars as a single a turk can have such a dramatic effect let's just imagine a scenario where we go without electricity for a week and the impact that would have no lights no power to do engineering on manufacturing business or to you know for people to boil water. to sterilise baby feeding a quick but that actually has a tangible effect on people's daily existence and actually worse case scenario on people's very very lives at the moment impairing a computer as it's written in law carries a maximum ten year sentence according to ministers that's disproportionate to the potential damage a malicious hacker could wreak but computer security experts have questioned what cyber terrorism really means and whether the term could be used to prosecute citizens who try to whistle blow on the government or

a company i honestly think if you if your hacking in order to harm life then there will be sentences already available for the computers of more central. that might mean that people can do more harmful things but things that we have to publish them for all the results you know if you killed people have you attempted to done damage property would disrupt the capital's transport those are concrete tank columns and the the trying to do those things or actually doing that that's what people should be sentenced for benevolent security research as a rule so concerned their work often involves behaving like hack has with the intention of finding vulnerabilities on a website and exposing cyber risk but according to this proposed law even those working for the common good of the internet could end up behind bars so they feel a major threat here is if somebody is simply trying to reverse engineer

a site maybe see that show the doesn't properly secure and the people shouldn't trust it and that the operators need to sort themselves aren't those the kinds of problems where people can to face computer misuse charges without really having done anything wrong. london now is some of the stories from around the world and an explosion on the golan heights has reportedly killed an israeli teenager and wounded three more civilians the blast on the disputed border between syria and israel was allegedly caused by mortar shell israeli army responded with tank fire into syria following the incident. south korean soldier who went on a rampage at a military checkpoint has been surrounded by security forces at a school in a nearby town reports say he's exchanging fire with the army sergeant killed five of his comrades at a border outpost with north korea. and on the way worlds apart with a convoy of the top of the break don't go away.

recently four hundred high level russian officials including duma members were summoned for a three day military training event that would include the use of various different weapons and lectures about state of the russian military the stated objective of all of this was to make the average soldiers in the army aware of the patriotic attitudes of those who can order them off to fight in theory this is a good idea but the reality is this kind it reeks that sweet stench of an empty p.r. stunt this is not nearly enough to convince the average grunt that the guys in power care about him as far as i understand it in the military they want to push people to break down the psychology and boot camp so they can make new better tougher more patriotic people and obedient ones as well the sort of cutesy fu weekend camp will not have any psychological effect these politicians and to be honest i think

bureaucrats the world over have it too easy their lives are too comfortable heck all the duma deputies have these nice leather chairs and they have gold watches and assistants and all that stuff i think that if the duma deputies had to suffer through a military health for one month out of the year the corrupt comfort obsessed weaklings might get squeezed out of the system this training for the elite is a good idea but it needs to be done right and brutal but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome to worlds apart of the western policy on syria has been backfiring for quite some time but the rapid advance of isis militants in iraq blew a really big hole in what was already a known strategy can western governments deal with the radicals without hearing to some of the same tactics they asked to be syrians for to discuss that i'm now joined by joe shalonda is director of the university of oklahoma center studies

professor landis thank you very much for being here well thank you for inviting me on oksana now the isis the found safe is a very significant game changer on the ground but the question is can it really change anything in the minds of decision makers in washington and london can't force them to reconsider its some of that on july assumptions and perhaps even some of their objectives in syria and in iraq i believe it will already there is a lively debate in washington about whether the u.s. should start to work with iran and the policy makers and pundits in washington are separating to two camps and they're fighting bitterly about this some do not of course want the united states to begin cooperating with iran they are fearful that this will have a very bad effect on israel and saudi arabia others believe that counterterrorism is of the utmost importance and that iran can help the united states beat back isis

. and al qaeda in the region professor landis i would have to discuss that iranian angle a little bit later but before we go there there was an media's framing of the events in iraq it is very predictable they're sort of putting all the blame on the government he felt to build a functioning democracy here alyan they did the sunni's and i think we can admit that some of that criticism is valid but the question is could it be different person have done a better job is it fair to put all of the blame on al maliki and instead of looking somewhere else let's put it this way well a lot of this is domestic politics president obama is down the polls there are elections coming up midterm elections coming up and the republicans are very eager to hurt obama's reputation and to to ding the entire democratic party by saying that.
