7:05 am
citizens in the east of ukraine but there are signs a political solution could be in the offing cease fire is now in place and moskos also taking steps if you use the situation with president putin calling for russian troops to be disallowed from potentially going crazy but this could all be for nothing if the truce fails to hold. you shouldn't disarmament especially in eastern ukraine groups like the right sector is to carry weapons although it's often been promised that these basically illegal units will lay down their own they didn't do that they haven't even left my done yet i believe business. since in demanding and to government activists lay down arms under such circumstances anger continues to simmer in the east and west of the country as fighters from both sides continue to die to plan it. our goal is the complete

withdrawal fighters and there are places and people from the general staff and i mean to understand their government as well as general thought let them fight now you know you have to do a good it's a real mess it's those in power who have to foist one of the ordinary people. what's going to put it when you have deputies there or their children or people from the general staff or ministry of defense then it will all come to an end very quickly. shellshocked sluggy on sky has been without electricity food and water supplies for weeks with most of the residents forced to seek shelter in russia where dozens of refugees camps have sprung up those who chose to stay behind however still hold out hope for a political settlement. that is june it has to be solved by political means not guns. the most important thing is live on would give life to our children given what they see now is a war i don't want my kids to leave like this so. we need to have hope we need to

the government is taking care of them but when they close the border in a very organized way those who are going to do their goods as you did religions and those would. try to go to a government organized tent which is run by the ministry of american sea and there will be one is this one of them was to if we've been without and provision how to manage got drafted in the for the situation so we can say that those who out of these ten comes out of a pretty but it would ship it out of thin air what can you say about the people that you've seen there who are they tell us a bit more about down. at the big who have seen that mixed those who are locked in the tend to be so mainly with their women admittedly and children and then again you see the other group water guests. passing by the tent and got visibly going to join their native. was out in five many. thirty

minutes even if you mean that it's mainly that a few men the men headed households and children that's what you so. well during a press conference that you have attended some refugees questioned why the un isn't sending any aid to people in ukraine instead of helping the refugees and what answer do you have to those i mean shouldn't the un on the other hand help all those caught in a combat zone. yeah i fully understand their frustration because during one of the meetings i encountered a group of refugees who would still be to towards the un get out notice it again is that the international community for getting them why did you decide to end their fight inside again. but of course when this is not dropped out of mind to what can it profit doing we notify the war with victims of conflict. but even then i don't
7:13 am
know what is happening in ukraine how to do it to access these confident areas and . what kind of system and what kind of us is that they provide but as far as they think is that one cent on that one to go to a fresh without and would understand with the government and so if i would assist them does not require that's what i told them. well people are also free into western parts of the country western parts of ukraine what sort of reception are they getting there. i'm not a quiet i mean i was there but judging from the reports i get from our office and given. the population not really taken care of by the know to deliver to the spikes you know and they need to bite you in a set is to close are you following that money to get a situation and to the extent possible without providing assistance but if i meet out with that that are dirty and i got to give you food because you know if you. mr

of a quieter the senate of the u.n. refugee agency thank you so much for talking to us here on our to international. as if drones satellites and tracking devices to. pakistan were not an elf the cia was also once considered using children's toys and that's according to reports in american media that have now been confirmed by the spy agency. has the details between market is a lucrative industry generating a reported eighty four billion dollars in global revenue and it makes sense everywhere around the world boys generally make kids happy except when the cia gets involved according to the washington post the spy agency concocted a plan in two thousand and five to develop osama bin ladin demon dolls aimed at scaring children and their parents to instill fear in families that would cause them to turn away from the real terrorists the twelve inch figurines were painted
7:15 am
with a heat dissolving material designed to peel off and reveal a red faced demon like creature with piercing green eyes and black facial markings the code name for the project was devil eyes the plan was to distribute the toys to changer in afghanistan and pakistan where the cia was trying to win hearts and minds the cia claims only three prototypes were developed before the project was canceled however a source tells the washington post that hundreds of bin ladin demon action figures were developed and set to karate in two thousand and six although the cia did not move forward with the covert operation one of the demon figures reportedly remains the agency's headquarters reporting from washington d.c. marina point r t. meanwhile middle east analyst ahmed saudis saying so there must be better ways to spend money on fighting terrorism than scaring children with toys
7:16 am
. psychological war or fear is. a weapon in the struggle in modern day warfare but it's not the only. factor that defines these kinds of. measures that the usually the secret service or intelligence community fakes in fighting terrorism however since these action figure those words that excuse to children to try to create a living in the sub conscious bin laden is a devil or mana devil or what peter presents itself i believe may be a different approach like investing in the u.k. should of these children would be of much higher results. still to come how green is greenpeace and exacted from the organisation has been caught flying

7:21 am
seventeen barrels of oil ryan holiday wrote a book about greenpeace policy is he believes often the worthier words don't match their actions. most observers are probably saying it's hypocritical is especially when you hear executives defending it as as a compromise between you know the needs of the business and impacting the environment which is basically exactly what green she's others not to do but i assume that what people are upset about is greenpeace is very public about condemning other people for their decisions and their you know sort of environmental impact and then in private or behind closed doors is sort of doing whatever they personally think is best or personally benefits them and that's where you see charges that obviously of a proper state because it has a noble mission or because they have a noble mission they are somehow. you know above the rules or can do whatever they
7:22 am
think is right and that kind of relativity creates the problems that we're talking about now. some other stories from around the world starting with a series of bomb attacks in cairo metro stations at least four people have been injured the explosions occurred within minutes of each other during the morning rush hour some metro lines are now closed egypt has seen a wave of violence since the army ousted the country's first democratically elected president almost a year ago and authorities launched a crackdown on his supporters. to paris now where people have a crackdown on striking rail workers over five hundred people gathered in the center of the capital angry at plans to reform the national rail service scuffles erupted when riot police tried to push protesters off the main roads railway workers in paris have been on strike for over two weeks now continuing from a national strike. in the northern pakistan city of peshawar gunmen
7:23 am
have opened fire on a passenger plane while it was landing a woman who was killed in the incident and the two crew members wounded pakistani authorities are still looking for the attackers no group says they can. these sold by militants are conley active in the tribal northwest regions of the country. at least thirty two people have been killed as a rocket security forces tried to regain control of the country's largest oil refinery and the strategic town of baiji officials say many of the dead and wounded were civilians is that his group isis had earlier claim to have captured the refinery to discuss the deteriorating situation in the country i'm now joined by british labor party m.p. jeremy corbin. well jeremy iraq is in chaos as we can see a bit more than ten years after the us invasion are they reconsidering the invasion as a good idea. i think
7:24 am
a lot of people in britain that voted for the invasion particularly members of parliament and they're thinking very deeply about the huge mistake that was made in two thousand and three the growth of the arsis forces is a direct result of the overthrow of the entire system around saddam hussein and then the promotion of what has actually turned out to be very sectarian government in iraq ever since then and this is. an obvious result of this and also the huge amounts of money that are available for the isis forces and indeed there are from so we have what is developing into a very well funded civil war with awful consequences for the people of iraq by isis seems to be maintaining its grip on the country's oil and speaking of the consequences i mean tell us a bit more could you elaborate perhaps more on what sort of repercussions made half of the country in the country's economy. well there are three repercussions from this one is that the kurdish regional government has become much stronger i think
7:25 am
the dream of having an independent kurdistan must have come much closer as a result of it secondly that by controlling the oil resources or most of the resources of iraq from the isis forces the present hour at least the biggest refinery then that has caused panic buying and chaos in the rest of iraq but it also cuts off a huge element of financial support for the government of iraq and thirdly the long term stability of the country is very much in doubt because you now have two broadly religious sectarian forces fighting each other that was never the narrative in iraq before the. united states and britain and others invaded it was then a rather severe. secular country in the sense that the constitution was relatively secular and there wasn't this huge religious division between sunni and shia which of course has been exacerbated and i think one has to then look at the role of
7:26 am
saudi arabia in promoting sony forces around the region or particular form of islam and look at the same time the role played by the by the monarchy government so i think the outlook is very very grim and. this is a consequence of western meddling well you know jeremy what could actually shift the balance of forces here i mean what would it take for the iraqi troops to regain control. well i think it requires a sense of unity amongst people in iraq that would want to be remain part of iraq and also an acceptance and understanding of why so many people in some of the cities in the north have apparently been prepared to accept the isis forces yes they're brutal yes they're some of what they've done is quite appalling likewise what the americans have been from in other places is appalling but that has to be
7:27 am
seen to be an acceptance of a much wider view of the world than is apparent to the present time by the monarchy government. and whilst the us has not yet sent in large numbers of troops the danger is that in this sort of perilous civil war that is going on western forces will once again be dragged in the war will just go on for a long time with awful consequences for the people of iraq i think there has to be a political solution all wars have to end in some kind of political compromise want to start with a political compromise now rather than fueling the war by putting more weapons more arms and more money into the conflict. in british labor party m.p.'s thank you so much for talking to us here on r.t. . and more news will be coming your way at the top of the hour but before that peter lavelle discusses the fragile cease fire in eastern ukraine with a panel of guests in the latest crosstown to stick.
