west close the eyes to human rights violations in turkey and actively contributed to these human rights violations by either providing military or intelligence on the other hand the kurds the kurdish and europe was completely criminalized and we see the similar thing happening with kurds in syria for example even though the people have established a very progressive self governance structures in the north of syria what you can find online dot com christian is what the docs activists are waves and holy water and members of marlene months in iraq beyond the head of their concert here in moscow the gig it never took place however due to a bomb threat all the details of the story available online also their. life changing developments technologies approved in the u.s. to help those party lies take a huge step towards walking again find out all the details of this new robotic suit much more on r t dot com. the bankrupt

now facing five billion dollars in bad debt the water department is taking drastic measures to plug holes and that means cutting water this is one of those houses that has had its water shut off and you can tell that because the detroit water and sewer department went ahead and painted on the porch that water cut time now they've been doing this more and more frequently to abandoned houses and they are they say going after abandoned houses first in order to kind of avoid it wasting water for houses that people simply don't live in however more often these days the houses facing shut off have residents living inside this is the detroit water brigade headquarters groups like the way fun in the detroit water brigade are working with residents to get on the water they need in the short term and the funding in the long term to sustain themselves we have donations the water that people have say we also have water filtration devices as well as aqua tablets

so that people could you know access to clean drinking water these groups are now calling for help from the federal government and even the united nations to address what they describe as a humanitarian crisis nikita rally is one detroit resident who is afraid of the consequences of missing even a single payment if you tell someone i don't have water in my home that's the first strike you can get your children removed will you go to the war department as they help get my children back they don't care don't just think it's me and she isn't alone no you're shutting out all the water all the most vulnerable for. which now raises a human rights question it raises a moral question what if people do was to water. out of the take their medicine if you see the shot of the make the formula for the babies however the water department argues we have the the burden of being heavy to be realistic in a lot of folks the activists for example don't have that they have what they feel are simple solutions. which really don't really hold water if anybody can come up

with a way that we can make the detroit drink water is good as it is right now for pennies on the dollar will want to listen unfortunately this is not the case leaving some residents salivating for a solution to this water crisis and others just plain thirsty reporting in detroit michigan meghan lopez r t we talked a little earlier to an international water come painter for the blue planet project you told us on employment and poverty what's fueling the crisis there are thousands of residents who have been. been cut off from their water and sewerage services since march and what that means is that people basically don't have access to water in their homes we're talking about a city where point eight percent of the people are living below the poverty line so many of these people cannot afford to be there to pay the bills and it is a violation of the human right to water and sanitation when people are being forced

to pay a very high rates for their water and sanitation services and when they're not able to meet those demands they are being cut off will apply to follow reasons of detroit residents is also the focus of martin's breaking the set coming up later today. death row inmates in oklahoma are protesting against the use of lethal injections to execute them they say it's akin to experimenting on humans there are lawsuits filed against the state follows the bungled execution of oklahoma inmate clayton lockett in april he died of a heart attack some forty minutes after being injected doctors had burst a vein in his body while administering a controversial cocktail of drugs it was a similar incident back in january in ohio where an inmate was reportedly in convulsions for twenty five minutes in both cases concerns were raised that doctors

use previously on tested drugs even though the investigation into both cases continues prison authorities are going ahead with the method three executions have been carried out in june so far the first since april in total three thousand prisoners await the death penalty in u.s. jails human rights advocates are concerned the authorities are unwilling to take heed of past failures every time one more state changes a protocol works. in a sense we have the potential for human experimentation to be trying something on a human being that's never been tried before and that's being repeated in state after state here in the united states oklahoma has not done another execution yet now we've set some dates out several months into the future and that's exactly why these inmates have sued what they're basically saying is that we're not ready to do more executions on the other hand the status saying it thinks we will be ready within a couple of months and of course without the full findings there on what went wrong

in clayton lockett sex a-q. should i think it's very hard for the state's argument to be taken seriously that we're ready to actually start more executions when we don't fully know what happened. time for some more headlines from around the world now an explosion in northern nigeria killed at least ten people and left fourteen injured the blast took place overnight in the red light district of authorities suspect the islamist sect boko haram is behind the attack the group has targeted several cities across the country in the past number of months. palestinians have been killed and one seriously injured after israeli fighter jets launched airstrikes in the gaza strip the men allegedly belong to the popular resistance committee and on the group accused of firing rockets into israeli territory the attack came as israeli troops continue a large scale search for three missing teenage boys believed to be an abducted by hamas. group of tourists including seven children are missing after two days of

a classic mainstream media talking point about russian aggression and russian imperialism which gets repeated constantly in fact so often that is not even a question but if you stop to think about it if you were trapped in a region at war and you were going to escape. odd foot where would you go into the heart of the aggressors imperialists know you go in the direct opposite direction interestingly enough in both this conflict and the two thousand and eight war in georgia the overwhelming majority of refugees flee towards russia excluding some sort of bizarre stockholm syndrome it seems that for people in break we republics and ukraine and georgia russia is a safe haven they often say that people vote with their feet and in the case of the most recent wars in european history it is clear whose feet are voting for whom and no mainstream media talking points can deny that but that's just my opinion. i. don't think the united states for ousting in

a call is neither did russia i think fine for taking control of our crimea and yet there we have a major crisis on our hands. do you think that is likely to be resolved in some sort of constructive way now because. this is the last change in borders that happens this way that i'm not saying will be forgotten but you know people claim that themselves and the reality is if it turns out though this is the first step and that this is going to go on indefinitely. and threats of very existence between the states and we're kind of in a different. has lowered their i marinate this is boom bust and these are some of the stories that we're tracking for you today. first of new york attorney general eric schneiderman
