. to put the ball of. but the wish to really do this that still. isn't enough told us. to have to listen ok let's put it to sleep the night with us is that when you shoot us does it. mean the you could. all the crisis unfolds in the east of the country the capital isn't calm either at least fifty people gathered near the russian embassy in kiev sunday shouting anti moscow slogans of throwing things at the police not the first time that's happened but a much milder protest the moment seen last week when paint stones and smoke bombs were thrown at the embassy and the flag was torn down a huge moscow of getting involved in the country's crisis. elsewhere in fear of a group of masked men clashed with police their flag suggests they belong to an

ultra nationalist group also seen vandalizing a branch of a russian back. later this hour turning off the tap moscow cutting off gas to ukraine after two parties couldn't agree on how much you have should pay for a supply it will bring you the details shortly. but first fight is with the extremist islamic state of iraq and syria or isis are sweeping through iraq as they try to carve out an islamic caliphate there sunday alone they seize more than three more cities and a number of border crossings isis has a reputation for brutality i even al qaeda has distanced itself from them is just some examples pictures of captive iraqi soldiers being herded together before being shot or he's losing caffein of has more. armed to the teeth determined to conquer and 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 just hardest 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 and barr 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 is 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. lucie county r.t.

. iraq's sectarian divides run deep prime minister nuri al maliki's policies are believed to have exacerbated the rift between the sunni north west and the shia south and militants are well 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 if you have a car that could be a problem for you as well as the militants are making gains the uncertainty is sending oil prices skyrocketing since the job he's sees the major city of mosul brant crude has gained almost five percent trading closed on friday at way more than fourteen hundred fourteen dollars per barrel close to a twelve month high some experts think prices could rise another twenty dollars per barrel over the next couple of months energy specialist stuart elliott things a drop in iraq oil export will hit global markets hard iraq exports about two point

five million barrels a day to the global market its production is about four percent of the global total so any disruption to the southern exporters 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 the market we're going to see people having to stop using that because it really would be kind of end game scenario if iraq were to lose its oil 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 in two thousand and three it's filled iraq sectarian bloodshed and proclaim and is an independent islamic state across iraq syria lebanon palestine and jordan thrive during the ongoing civil war in neighboring syria gaining access to money and weapons falling into the hands of the rebels their former pentagon

analyst michael maloof says the fate of the region is at stake if terrorists get 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 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 still to come including spain's cautious coronation as philippe the

sixth is crowned protests across spain char austerities a left people mulling whether the monarchy is worth keeping this and more after a short break. his name was good because he was nazi germany's minister of propaganda the midst that he created exist to this day. it was google's propaganda it was posing actually trying to denigrate other nations while at the same time reason ordinary german soldier steams. keep its use of goebbels knew precisely what the masses needed to hear in order to make them follow him he was like the pied piper from the fairy tale who made grant's folder that you know despite. the myths created by the chief nazi ideologist bound for

town saw in the west we have to fight these myths today in memory of those who won in the second world war. quarter past the hour now israeli defense forces raided our t's office in the west bank destroying equipment and confiscating records this is part of a series of similar idea for aids on media centers amid a military campaign against the palestinian authorities that israel accuses of kidnapping three israeli students or he's paulus leader has been. 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 that raid r.t. studio was damaged our internet signal was lost the archives of both video and order material have disappeared and at the same time often a chair has been destroyed the doors have been ruined computers and disks have been

confiscated all of this has resulted in a conversation between us and the idea if we we are asked them what was all of this about now they responded initially by saying nothing the raid was against the al aqsa channel now we've been pointed out that that was actually housed in another building to which the idea for spawn did so well in that case the raid was against out 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 youth three israeli teenagers who were kidnapped some ten days ago by him us the ship 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 when there was proof that

r.t. in fact was affiliated with any party that proof 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 or anyhow related to any political movement the i.d.f. has said that if after the examination of the discs and 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 state of the aim of finding the missing. i seeing that this operation went out of propulsion long time ago and you're off is there a go in your office is just an example off of very very wide scale operation which

has nothing to do with the fate of this three kidnapped youngsters as israel takes advantage in the strike again not the first time to smash the hamas and any scene which smells hamas or looks like hamas always connected directly or indirectly was come us is 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 natural gas supply was shut off this week it's take a look at how things got to this point ukraine currently owes russia more than four billion dollars after stopping payments in november while russia was looking for when i said its final deadline was at least half that money ukraine's problem seemed to be the price russia wanted to set kiev was happy neither with the current price nor the one offered by moscow in fact insist on a price 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. has called russia's final offer of three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic metres reasonable not so for ukraine which has refused to budge any amount we sought opinion from several analysts. who. could stand on their hands and say that one little stole 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 appeared to be reasonable and then suddenly everything collapses this isn't going to help ordinary ukrainian people it's creating enormous economic instability and see a deal which is to step towards normalization of relations with russia which of course is ukraine's by far the largest trading partner so really

a deal was in the new ukrainian people's interest and i don't really understand why else gone through what happens now is you know that russia makes the choice and it's not the choice between the you know more losing more money or being the bad guys 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 is sending through the ukrainian pipes is that which has been bought by europe given the past experience the e.u. is still nervous just to remind you in two thousand and six moscow cut gas supplies to europe amid claims ukraine was siphoning huge amounts from the pipes through the country taps were later turned back on it was another so-called gas war three years later when ukrainian supplies were reduced in started taking more gas in slovakia a state of emergency was declared while in bulgaria a number of factories had to be shut down public service is also badly affected russia promises to keep the e.u. gas flowing despite differences with ukraine he has ability to guarantee transit

though already in doubt a day after the gas was cut off an explosion hit a segment of a pipeline to europe this video is footage of the incident and ukraine's interior ministry says the explosion is likely the result of a terror attack fortunately the blast happened in a secluded area away from people for an hour all fuel has been switched to a reserve pipeline in europe is getting its gas at full volume political scientist . thinks the very least explosion is a blow to the country's reputation. if you look at the country it's not no more a state it's rather a kind of failed state does the control its territory just on able to guarantee not only the lives of its own the citizens about also all the economic safety. that pipelines and that physical science deals. business going on there so this is one of the very many examples. web site has a section dedicated to the ukraine crisis with months worth of archives if you want

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 r.t. . they can look at some other stories making global headlines ethnic albanians clash with security forces in kosovo leaving six police intensive millions wounded violence broke out in the northern city of me tributes of several hundred albanians throwing rocks and burning cars angry at serb plans to build a so-called peace park in the city five people arrested after police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters. israel says it's carried out air strikes on nine targets in syria including a military headquarters this in response to a mortar attack on the golan heights by syrian government that killed a thirteen year old israeli the boy died when a car carrying civilian contractors working for israel's defense ministry was hit
