republics russia saying that before any such plan can work of fighting must seize the russian president vladimir putin says that doesn't seem to be kiev's intention so far. there's a new unfortunately we're seeing by way of objective observation that suggests combat hasn't really stopped we saw the active use of artillery on the ukrainian side i can't say whether it was the army over the armed groups of some right wing forces but it is happening all military action must be stopped. latest reports say a large scale government artillery strike has begun in the city of shot in the leg on screen these are images of an army attack carried out saturday is said to have happened in the donetsk region in east ukraine less than a kilometer from the border with russia fighting driving in many from their homes in eastern ukraine tens of thousands of civilians forced to flee most of them seeking shelter across the border in russia a lot of refugees left families behind as children try to get their parents rather try to get their children to safety. it's just something.

i did to put the ball up. but that was the. effort that still. isn't enough told us likes to have to loosen to get a little bit of the sleeve the that was just going to suit us those but it. meant that you could while the grays unfolds in the east of the country the capital isn't common either at least fifty people gathered near the russian embassy in kiev on sunday shouting anti moscow slogans throwing objects at police it's not the first time that's happening though it is a much milder protest than what was seen last week when paint stones and smoke bombs were thrown at the embassy in the flag was torn down by youths they accuse moscow of getting involved in the country's crisis. elsewhere in kiev a group of masked men clash with police their flag suggest you belong to an ultra

nationalist movement also seen battle izing a branch of a russian back. later this hour turning off the tap moscow cutting off gas to ukraine after the two parties couldn't agree on how much kiev should pay for the supplies details still to come. but first fighters with the extremist islamic state of iraq and syria known as isis are sweeping through iraq as they try to carve out an islamic caliphate on sunday alone may seize three more cities in a number of border crossings isis has a reputation for brutality to the point even al-qaeda distanced itself from the group one example is these pictures showing captive iraqi soldiers being herded together before being summarily shot artie's lucy caffein of has more on the isis offensive. on. to the teeth determined to carry on the

march across iraq the islamic state in iraq and syria also known as isis is quickly emerging as one of the world's most powerful jo hottest groups the groups goal just what the name implies an islamic sunni caliphate stretching across the middle east isis already controlled large swaths of land in syria and iraq's anbar province last week they moved on iraq's north. seemingly overnight isis captured the second largest city of mosul more than half a million residents were forced to flee. we were afraid of isis and escaped more soon because they have no mercy there are people they killed they have no conscience that was just the start after mosul a lightning speed advance towards baghdad with cities and towns falling to isis

along the way as iraqi soldiers fled their posts they left behind tanks humvees trucks and weapons paid for by the americans and now in the hands of isis the militants have their supporters to the shiite dominated government of prime minister nouri al maliki has alienated iraq's sunni population isis is also believed to receive financial support from sympathetic gulf monarchies and with iran backing the iraqi government there's fear the internal conflict could become a regional one all sides are bracing for the worst in the capital shiite militia men are responding to a call to arms from their religious leaders ready to defend their capital and their faith the iraqi army is also fighting back but this means airstrikes against sunni cities and that could make the already sick terry and conflict go from bad to worse sitting out the fight at least for now are the americans with the hottest

determined to press on the question is for how long. you see archie iraq's sectarian divide runs deep prime minister maliki's policies believed to have exacerbated historical reffed between the sunni north west and the shia south militants are aware of the iraqi government's soft spots laying siege to some of the country's biggest oil fields the government on the verge of losing control of this vital industry which accounts for more than ninety percent of the nation's income and if you have a car that's your problem too is the militants make new gains the uncertainty is sending the oil prices rising since the jihad to seize the major city of mosul brant crude gained almost five percent trading close friday more than one hundred fourteen dollars per barrel close to a twelve month high some experts think prices could shoot up another twenty dollars per barrel over the next few months energy specialist stuart elliott tells us a drop in iraq yo exports will hit global markets hard iraq exports about two point

five million barrels a day to the global market his production is about four percent of the global total so any disruption to the southern exports would have a major major impact if we were to lose that oil from the market it would be the tightest market we've we've had for a long long time and even then it's not clear that saudi arabia would be able to replace the lost iraqi barrels we're going to see a lot of change on that will market we're going to see people having to stop using that cause it really really would be the end game scenario if iraq were to lose its allure and then we could even see another economic recession across the whole world originally al qaeda affiliate isis emerged in iraq soon after the u.s. led invasion it fuels iraq's sectarian bloodshed in berkeley and in islamic an independent islamic state spanning iraq syria lebanon palestine and jordan says thrive during the ongoing civil war in neighboring syria getting money and weapons falling into the hands of rebels their former pentagon analyst michael maloof

thinks the fate of the region is at stake if terrorists gain a foothold in iraq. they can sweep through iraq they're going to go into jordan and you're going to have spinoffs. that would be created isis in iraq right now is not just foreign fighters and what have you a lot of what are some old saddam hussein's groups certainly people who work for him who are all sudanese and and who joined on to isis there a lot of a. lot of elements a lot of islamic groups that are joining i says inside iraq of course. the prime minister who is shia is resisting any efforts to change his government to try to. make the bring in this bring in more sunni's into the into the government and make it more representative but it may be too little too late already more of the week's news to come including spain's cautious coronation as philippe the six was crowned

speak the language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here. for the world of the interviewer's interesting story to tell you. visit. quarter past the hour now israeli defense forces raided artie's office in the west bank destroying equipment confiscating records this is part of a series of similar idea for aids on media centers amid a military campaign against palestinian authorities who israel accuses of kidnapping three israeli students middle east correspondent policy more. artie's offices that are situated in the building of the service provider of palm media in

the west bank city of ramallah have been raided in their grade r.t. studio was damaged our internet signal was lost the archives of both video and material have disappeared and at the same time that has been destroyed now the doors have been weren't computers and disks have been confiscated all of this has resulted in a conversation between us and the idea of where we are asked them what was all of this about now they responded initially by saying nothing the raid was against the al aksa channel now we then pointed out that that was actually housed in another building to which the idea for spondon a well in that case the raid was against could stevie our follow up question then was so why have you confiscated r t arabic equipment which the i.d.f. responded that they had to since the operation targeted the whole complex now these confiscations form part of what is being called operation brothers keeper it is an

operation that is intended to risk you three israeli teenagers who were kidnapped some ten days ago by him us the dip he hid of r.t. arabic has said that the i.d.f. never acts without any kind of documentation that proves that whoever it is raiding is in fact affiliated with terrorists but when he asked where there was proof that r.t. in fact was affiliated with any party that was very short in coming i can tell him now where is the intelligence that you've got to prove that r.t. was somehow related to any political movement the i.d.f. has said that if after the examination of the disks an equipment that it has confiscated it is clear that there is no terror related content in the equipment will be returned to r.t. arabic. israeli troops shot dead two palestinians bringing the number of deaths to four since the start of a crackdown on hamas the week also saw three hundred palestinian suspects arrested in connection with a student's abduction gideon levy

a reporter for the israeli newspaper ha'aretz thinks the idea of separation has gone beyond the stated aim of finding the missing teenagers i seeing that these super ation went out of propulsion long time ago and zero fees their raid on your old piece is just an example off of a very very wide scale operation which has nothing to do with the fate of this re kidnapped the youngster is israel takes advantage in the strike and get no the first time to smash the hamas and any see which smith looks like hamas always connected directly or indirectly was come us ease becoming a victim brute searching and confiscating it's even your own feces one of those victims after refusing to pay its energy bills for six months he has a natural gas supply was turned off this week saying look back at how things got to

this point ukraine currently owes russia more than four billion dollars after stopping payments in november or russia wanted when it said its final deadline was at least half of that money in crane's problem seem to be the price russia wanted to say kiev was happy neither with the current price nor the one moscow offered in fact he have insist on a price that it calls a market one but which would also be one of europe's lowest kiev looking to pay only half of what some european nations pay even the e.u. is called russia's final offer of three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters a reasonable one not so for ukraine which has refused to budge on the amount we sought opinion from several analysts. hooten election member could stand on their hands and say but wouldn't liberal still the call's come home and it wouldn't change the situation and i think the negotiating tactics the ukrainian government. are simply designed to make someone crazy in moscow you appear to compromise you appear to be reasonable and suddenly everything collapses this isn't going to help

ordinary ukrainian people it's creating enormous economic instability and uncertainty deal with as signals a step towards normalization of relations with russia which of course is ukraine's by far the largest trading partners so really a deal was in the new ukrainian people's interest and i don't really understand why hasn't gone through what happens now is you know that russia makes the choice and it's. more losing more money or being the bad guy switch off the gas go to a prepaid system in somebody is respected much more than in this starting to do that an automobile as of this week the only gas russia setting for ukraine is pipes which has been bought by europe already but given past experience the e.u. is still nervous to remind you in two thousand and six moscow cut gas supplies to europe amid claims ukraine was siphoning huge amounts from pipes of the country taps were later turned back on it was another so-called gas war three years later when ukrainian supplies were reduced and it began taking more gas in slovakia

a state of emergency was introduced well above the area a number of. public service is also badly affected russia promises to keep gas flowing despite differences with ukraine he has ability to guarantee transit though is in doubt a day after its gas was cut off an explosion struck a segment of the pipeline to europe this video shows footage of the incident and ukraine's interior ministry says the explosion like the result of a terror attack fortunately the blast happened in a secluded area away for many people for now if you will transit has been switched to reserve pipe and europe is getting its gas in full political scientist material things the lady. says at the very least the explosion is a blow to the country's reputation if you look at the country the. norm or a state that's rather a kind of failed state does the control it's tearing through just on able to guarantee not only the lives of its own the citizens about also all the economic
