national guard squad have returned to kiev for rally they are demanding an end to the truce and of the resumption of the military operation the crowd gathered in independence square which earlier this year became the cradle of the writing that asked of the previous authorities of ukraine. flowing from the conflict in the east tens of thousands of ukrainian a refugees the u.n. estimates over a thousand one hundred thousand have crossed the border with russia since the beginning of their military operation but the u.s. has once again expressed doubt about those numbers saying the source is not credible since the start of two thousand and fourteen one hundred and ten thousand ukrainians have arrived in russia we just have seen no evidence to support that we don't believe they're credible we're watching we just don't think that the hundreds of thousands number is credible we don't have anything to cooperate or if this is the u.n.

1:09 pm
language is all language was most likely a response to similar hurtful comments made by the us deputy secretary of state. that would be great i think polluted the un helped glue it and you know the e.u. but it's not just the us the polish foreign minister is less than satisfied with the course you pulled no punches when talking about the u.k. prime minister's dealings with the euro skeptics suggesting david cameron bowed to pressure and went soft when he should have stayed strong as if that wasn't enough for sikorsky went on to remember other times he believes cameron misfired politically saying he's not likely to change needless to say embarrassingly frank diplomatic conversation has caused quite a stir in the us or some of the commentators we talk to our say. let me start which is obvious far for everyone here in poland for most of the analysts has just voiced
1:10 pm
the opinion which is shared by most of the population here actually it raises other troubling questions about the judgment of america who is after all his country's chief diplomatic representative who aspires to be the chief diplomatic representative of the entire european union and the governments he has been so scathing about the governments of britain and the united states are the very countries which have supported him throughout his career into what you hear was so much i think it shows that there is a real awareness among the circles of power in poland as to what the relationship with the united states has really brought them which is nothing more news coming right up paying clued in the resistance is a few time look at how heavily armed swat units are being used to raid the suburban houses across the u.s. spreading fear and fatalities along the way. moving on to other news the syrian rebels could soon benefit from some half a billion dollars the u.s. plans to splash on the equipment and training now following months of pressure from

washington's war hawks president obama asked congress to approve a massive aid to the empty us of fighters just a year ago washington gave the green light for non lethal aid to reach the so-called moderate rebels but that later added up in the hands of jihad is to anyway in america was forced to suspend the aid however earlier this month america admitted it's been sending actual weapons to the opposition and experts warn of the us hasn't learned by its own mistakes. the obama policy from the beginning has been for regime change as we saw in libya as we saw in ukraine and we've seen in other parts of the world and so now the administration is going to be providing if approved by the congress higher quality weapons to the rebels but the rebels are into mission with the they can interchange an interconnected with all the jihad and
1:12 pm
the jihad is control large part of territory they control large checkpoints the united states appears to have a schizo front of foreign policy there they're saying they demand unity in iraq behind the central government which is fighting what they call islamic extremists from i still are uses and at the same time they're funding these same armed groups in syria to take down an independent nationalist and sovereign government in syria what the u.s. is doing and has been doing this finally in money guns and more occupation tools in a region that it considers to be vital because it's resource rich that's about it. iraq has learned the hard way how u.s. aid can be used for all the wrong reasons right now some american hardware including several humvees are being used by extremists there they quit was captured after jihad is to control of iraqi army we have extremists are continuing the advance on baghdad with fierce fighting around fifty kilometers from the capital. now there's also been
1:13 pm
a disturbing evidence as to who is being forced to join the militants ranks so as you can see in this video boys on do with automatic rifles traveling in and i says convoy some children are also reportedly being used as snipers by the hardest and it all equates to iraq being pushed to the brink of reports. despite the chaos spreading across the country and eerie calm in the kurdish capital the city is just sixty kilometers from the isis front line but it downtown erbil it was business as usual kurdistan has often felt like a separate country altogether even at the height of iraq's most violence and bloodiest moments now but the current crisis treading the country to pieces it's closer than ever to becoming one kurdish soldiers are now in control of territory that used to be disputed but no one here seems to think that harvest would dare march on them. but i have full faith and forces we won let's anything happen.
1:14 pm
for some the prospect of a divided iraq was a welcome one do you think that iraq will remain one country as we know it's after this crisis maybe this should maybe that iraq will have to be divided will have area and the sunnis and shias will have there is no one in kurdistan is more and we have oil we have a strong army. they may have or oil but fuel is running scarce for days now iraqi forces battled with isis for control of the country's largest oil refinery this is one of the first things you notice here in erbil these massive gas lines some of the cars have been here for hours since the morning many people in fact camped out overnight to try to get online so they can get gas frustrated residents line up to get their share authorities have limited each individual to thirty leaders that's less than what it takes to fill two tanks the people we've spoken to said there haven't been lines like this for fuel since the outbreak of
1:15 pm
the u.s. led invasion back in two thousand and three and although there are shortages here in erbil parts of northern iraq have run out of gas even on the black markets and so people are stocking up they say that they don't know what will bring the fear is that it will get a lot worse before it gets better that's a sentiment we heard from many here and it's not just the news fleeing the violence we encountered shia refugees to. octo gonzi job or came here six days ago from baghdad in baghdad the situation has gone from bad to worse and people are arming themselves and getting ready to fight on another always see the future is bloodshed and violence but if something doesn't change iraq will be a country of little friends and widows who see caffein over erbil iraq one is off to the subway to stay with us we'll be right back. there's
1:16 pm
a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same push to secure the limo your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with the gas that you deserve answers from it's all politics only mark t. live. economic record takes part in her. place now a. part. of what if the public signings to.
1:17 pm
cut. cut. cut cut. thanks for staying with us ukraine finally signed a trade agreement with the e.u. this week the failure of the country's previous leader to do so is was the ukrainian crisis leading to the current civil conflict of the new leader says this is just the first step of closer ties with europe we see that. ukraine is european country under the forty nine article will have an opportunity. for the membership perspective this is a very important carrot for ukraine to work up. well financially challenging europe
1:18 pm
still doesn't appear to be quite ready for ukraine they use commissioner for enlargement has said kiev still needs to prove its european credentials added that to reforms blocks energy commissioner has warned the bailout for greece is peanuts compared to what will be needed to save kids' economy the president of the european commission says the e.u. is simply not ready to welcome ukraine right now and that sentiment is also echoed by the foreign minister of europe's powerhouse germany which comes as no surprise to financial experts patrick. ukraine which last year was in a catastrophic position how it's signed a free trade association this year is going to associate with the european union are the point when it's on the brink already of economic disaster this is a catastrophic move for the ukrainian economy the only winners either this or a few sadly deluded egos whether they're in brussels whether they're in washington who believe some horror other they've achieved
1:19 pm
a great deal of political victory for the people of ukraine there are no jobs to be hard here there's only going to be job losses. from the onset washington's been blaming russia for fanning the conflict in ukraine and threatening sanctions unless it stops but america's plans are facing stanch opposition from where some businesses and here's why russia being an emerging market with a growing income has been quite attractive for u.s. companies now the possibility of being cut off from the market is making american businesses and bosses nervous but just who is involved in russia well buoying buys in nearly a third of its titanium here the country's also one of the fastest growing markets for pepsi u.s. a car manufacturers also have a huge interest in the russian market with general motors and ford selling tens of thousands of vehicles here last year the chamber of commerce and the national association of manufacturers have launched an ad campaign to explain just why new
1:20 pm
sanctions will backfire they say it will leave u.s. companies scrambling to keep up with firms from other countries i earlier we spoke to the president of the franco russia chamber of commerce and industry. it should have been because actually. the political system he said said no. to king but economy could sanctions so we need two ways over but tell them that they should not do it again they should use diplomacy to do so dude the ukrainian crazies using and taking into host the g.'s companies with the us you appear not french company is something which isn't acceptable for us what the sanctions are doing is isolating the united states' economy and instead of isolating russia they were meant to isolate russia but given the trend of world trade for all of the exports that russia has and for diplomacy there isis they're actually running in isolating the united states it's
1:21 pm

subcultures you know skinheads originally kind of approach culture you have in germany. three way to start not like any other not. one of profanity or more out on the streets block or not is actively sitting down preventing them from going on and the route. just like all the other nazis. fashion trends come and go the secretary of the unite against fascism wants that this trend is making the unacceptable acceptable. the seventy's and eighty's in the ninety's was seen in the fascist movement of all try to do this in terms of plugging into youth culture the real danger is at the moment sadly the hard votes of not to organizations are for the first time since the war nazi organization has been elected to the european parliament and this means that the hipsters and the people trying to shape fashion tried to make it settle it's up to
