to the big stories from the pasta seven days and right up to the minute developments as well you're watching the weekly on archie international i'm to. a truce abroad relative calm to you queens this week as both the army and anti government fighters in the east agreed to hold fire until monday sporadic attacks however are still breaking out the cease fire plan involved a lot of diplomatic effort and was supported by key countries including russia a reminder the week long truce was declared in the east on friday there was a followed by talks between here and the self-proclaimed republic for the first time since the conflict started another public vowed to recognize the ceasefire in the presence of russian and international munchers on wednesday the presidents of ukraine and russia as well as the french and german leaders discussed the peace

do you do you contribute. the leaders of russia ukraine germany and france have once again spoken on the phone or they discuss the ongoing peace effort and suggested international monitors could be sent to the border crossing between or. and you claim this is sunday's footage from the eastern ukrainian city of slavyansk where the truce doesn't seem to be holding. they started firing from the mountain with ukrainian troops residential areas of the city it went on for forty five minutes i've seen it all a couple photos on my phone the burn scars the destroyed marketplace houses riddled with holes three people were killed and many more wounded and we haven't searched all the buildings yet. the ceasefire was breached by both sides several times throughout the week people in the city of kramatorsk claim the city was shelled on

numerous occasions the village of privilege yes or the spike of violence with one woman reportedly killed it and in slovyansk a woman and her twenty six year old son perished in army shelling outside the embattled city self-defense forces took control of a checkpoint from the army and confirmed reports claim the army then launched a counterattack but lost twenty of its own soldiers who are shelling close to the russian border saw a checkpoint hit by a mortar shell hit hardest by the conflict are those who can't fend for themselves are it is maria for national found out and often as caught in the conflict. these can home for abandoned special needs children on the outskirts of lugansk aims to be and only a series of car and tranquillity. children here have food toys but most importantly love. there are eight to six children they scare house all

younger than three years old it's been a cozy home you have who are all of them that once war reached its walls it's no longer safe. mines and shells blend just a couple of kilometers away. and while the youngster had no concept of the danger for the adults it's a different story now surrounded it as a lot but honestly it's so hard actually more than half our kids cannot move they're either too small or they have motor problems some have cerebral palsy they need special care and even if we want to evacuate them we need a very special place just like ours is very hard to do. she was atlanta a mother herself and tries to remain positive but it's no easy matter no one can say how dangerous it becomes when they start firing here an internet compelling saved in boss kids was launched to draw attention to this particular case as well

as many are there often in tears and care homes that have suddenly found themselves on the front line and where the sounds of shelling and firing have increasingly replaced gentle lullabies regional lugansk in eastern ukraine right on foreign affairs asserted to believe the ukrainian authorities are using the peace process to drag out all war of attrition. it is pretty obvious that the ukrainian military the regular army has no stomach for the fight and that the fanatics from. who are the backbone of the so-called national guard which is really the right sector dressed into regular national guard uniforms are not able to do the job so it is far better to grow grow the crisis is at a lower level of intensity of violence then to try and force the issue in

a way that might indeed result in some dramatic bloodshed right now members of the national guard squad who have returned here for a rally they do man doing an end to the troops and the resumption of the military operation the crowd gathered in independence square with earlier this year became the cradle of writing that also the previous assortment of ukraine. varying from other conflict in the east tens of thousands of ukrainian refugees another u.n. estimates over one hundred thousands have crossed the border with russia since the beginning of the 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 this is the u.n. this isn't the russians saying you know not should be there is this is an agency telling you guys give millions and millions of days to go in there now. we don't have anything to back up that number. coming up a look at the deal that's firmly realigned the ukraine towards europe now there's still no end in sight for the conflict in the east and west washington accuses russia of fanning but as we report later america's sanction plans are hitting a flag at home. living on to other stories a syrian rebels could soon benefit from some half a billion dollars the u.s. plans to splash on the equipment and training now for nine months of pressure from washington the war hawks president obama asked congress to approve massive. aid to the n.t.'s not fighters not just a year ago washington gave the green light for lethal aid to reach so-called

moderate rebels but that later ended up in the hands of jihad is anyway and america was forced to suspend the aid however earlier this month america admitted it's been covertly sending actual weapons to the position and to walk in pain a prime backer wants the us hasn't learnt by its own mistakes the united states appears to have a schizo from its foreign policy there seem a dimmy of unity in iraq behind the central government which is fighting what they call islamic extremists from ice or uses and at the same time they're funding me seemed 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 you were saved can be used for all the wrong reasons now some american hardway including several humvees are being used by extremists to their quick mentor was captured after jihad is to control of iraqi

army warehouses isis has also proclaimed that the islamic order on the terrorist territories rather it captured planning to turn the whole country into the cradle of radical islam and for that of the extremists are continuing the advance on baghdad with fierce fighting around fifty kilometers from the capital is also disturbing evidence as to who is being forced to join the militants ranks as you can see in this video boys armed with automatic rifles are traveling in an isis convoy some children also reportedly being used as snipers by jihadists and it all equates to iraq being pushed to the brink as you see 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 violent and bloodiest moments now with 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 just a few did but no one here seems to think that the hardest would dare march on them . but i have full faith in the forces we won let anything happen. for some the prospect of a divided iraq was a welcome one do you think that iraq war made of one country as we know what's happening this crisis may be it may be that iraq will have to be divided will have area and the sunnis and shias will have there is no one in kurdistan is worried we have oil we have a strong army. they may help 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 our buildings massive gas lines some of the cars have been here for hours since the morning many people in fact camped 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 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 market and so people are stocking up they say that they don't know what the ring the fear is but if you 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. the job or came here six days ago from baghdad in baghdad the situation has gone from bad to worse people are arming themselves

and getting ready to fight one another all you see the future is bloodshed and violence if something doesn't change iraq will be a country of new friends and we do see caffein of erbil iraq. well now the kurds have the support of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has backed the statehood move that seems to clash with the stance of washington televisa longtime joe political ally. more news coming right up including a resistance in the field trial will look at how heavily armed swat units are being used to raid a suburban houses across the u.s. are spreading fear and fatalities along the way. pollens foreign minister has been secretly taped comparing his country's relationship with the us to a sexual act that got him to lead by a polish online magazine and out of love to go ski believes the country is

essentially pleasing america with little in return no which according to him makes warsaw a subservient partner in fact he says it gets worse not only is the alliance with america worthless but it has alienated poland's biggest and neighbors russia and germany moscow was somewhat sympathetic to his comments saying the crass language was most likely a response to some hurtful comments made by the us deputy secretary of state so that would be great i think polluted the un now cluett and you know the e.u. but it's not just the us the polish foreign minister has less than satisfied with us sikorsky pulled no punches when talking about the u.k. prime minister dealings with the us skeptics are suggesting david cameron bowed to pressure and went to solve when he should've stayed strong. that wasn't because you went on to remember other times he believes cameron misfired politically saying

he's not likely to change needless to say the embarrassingly frank diplomatic conversation has caused quite a stir is what some of the commentators we talk to are saying. let me start which is obvious far for everyone here in poland for most of the analysts has just voiced the opinion which is shared by most of the population here actually it raises other troubling questions about the judgment of a man 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 feel 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 new stories coming your way just off of this short break.

this is the leader so we leave the. other motions to. your party there's a good. news that no one is asking with a big they deserve answers from. i can only take. place now i. want to give the. sign.

i. thank you. welcome back ukraine finally signed a trade agreement with the e.u. this week the failure of the countries previously to do so as a lot spaulding ukrainian crisis leading to the current civil conflict of the new leader is says this is just the first step krosa ties with europe we see that. ukraine as a european country under the forty nine article will have an opportunity to ask for the membership perspective this is

a very important matter for ukraine and to work up. well financially challenged still doesn't appear to be quite ready for ukraine the e.u. commissioner for enlargement has said here but still needs to prove its european credentials and enact reforms the blocks energy commission has warned the bailout for greece is peanuts compared to what will be needed to save here of the 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 comes as no surprise to financial experts tricky. ukraine which last year was in a catastrophic position how did sign the 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 a great geopolitical 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 has been blaming russia for fanning the conflict in ukraine and threatening sanctions unless it stops but america's plans are facing staunch opposition from western businesses and here's why russia being any merging market with growing income has been quite attractive for u.s. companies the possibility of being cut off from the market is making american business bosses nervous but just who is involved in russia well boeing by is that nearly a third of its titanium here in the country is also one of the fossils growing markets for pepsi u.s. calming effect shows also have a huge interest in the russian market with general motors as well as forward selling tens of thousands of vehicles last year the chamber of commerce and the

national association of manufacturers have launched an ad campaign to explain just why new sanctions will backfire they say it will leave u.s. companies scrambling to keep up with firms from other countries earlier we spoke to the president of the franco russian chamber of commerce and industry it should step in because actually. the political system you. know. leaders are talking about economic and sanctions so we need to raise our voice but tell them that this in the do it again they should use diplomacy to do so the ukrainian authorities using and taking into her studies but companies whether they are u.s. european or french companies it is something which isn't acceptable for us what the sanctions are doing is isolating the united states' economy 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 the trauma states they're actually running isolating the united states it's a very strange business logic it doesn't make sense logically has to be a little. she doesn't seem to be all that enthusiastic about more sanctions or vienna and moscow this week struck a major gas pipeline deal the president got in with britain in attendance and the issue of ukraine came up during a light hearted exchange don't want to know good for your term president putin was . very. close. to us soil haitian. but. a lot cold. but the south

stream gas pipeline deal between austria and russia isn't sitting all that well with washington find out why on our website. politicians in the u.k. have been sounding the alarm over the influx of immigrants from romania and bulgaria after brussels lifted employment restrictions this year but latest figures show the number working in britain has actually dropped since then meanwhile it appears many brits seeking better opportunities have chosen to leave the u.k. and settle down in romania as. reports. you know michael is british but spent most of his life outside the u.k. his father worked in the military and the family's done its fair share of globetrotting but it's in romania where mike decided to settle down and open a book or he's been running for five years now i love the opportunity salad my life and my best still the nightlife you know i like to party and it's one of the

reasons why i went into this business i love the people the clients the culture. you know and the media you see more than welcome me since the beginning of this year they've been able to travel and work all over the e.u. some british deputies worried immigrants could start flooding in even suggested running a scare campaign to put them off coming to the u.k. there are many unpressed saw the letter side of the situation and started campaigning for british citizens to move here and work instead since romania's accession to the e.u. one thousand and seven brits no longer have to register when they move here so it's hard to say the exact number of them living here but according to the british embassy it's somewhere between three and four thousand and some have even made a business out of helping other newcomers to get started in this country like dean edgar another british ex-pat who left the u.k. eight years ago after his eighty company went bankrupt he makes a living here by helping other ex-pats register firms find staff buy property and

offers other help of foreign businessmen may need when setting up shop rumania has a long long way to go before it could be perceived as let's say a western european type country but for a guy like myself yes i would recommend anyone to come here romania is far from the wealthiest of the e.u. states in fact with the average salary of less than four hundred euros per month it's one of the poorest but to the surprise of many word of a mass exodus of romanians to the rest of the e.u. this country has actually given thousands of westerners opportunities they couldn't find at home you got this going on r t the rest. to the teeth the u.s. swat units are bringing was own tactics to the suburbs but a report by the american civil liberties union says the aggression of highly trained combat units is reaching extremes most operations in recent years targeted private property believed to be linked to narcotics but less than ten percent of

the eight hundred graves examiner actually dealt with active gun uses or hostages during the last four years such operations up love seven civilians dead and almost fifty injured. the nineteen month old infant was among the victims who were severely injured by a flash bang grenade hurled into his crib by a swat team leaving him in a coma a family spokesman told in the now who is the reason now about the incident you can watch the full interview on mine. this flashed on renee and was tossed into a room for small children the tragedy of course was that it landed in the plane. bones of our body was four small children that were living in this space where this explosive device was thrown their reports that there was no way to know that there were young children in this household that is totally false we find

statistically people of color people in low income areas and communities be dealing with this kind of blunt force if you're in any influential community or if you have any influence personally you tend to get a knock at the door or even a courtesy call same surrender during the assault that saw the baby injured with a grenade the house was turned upside down in the search for drugs but there were none at all now the family demanded federal investigation into why they were targeted and to find those responsible and small to the only one case when innocent civilians have become the victims of violent race let's take a look at this twenty six year old to reka wilson was unarmed and holding her baby son when she was shot by an officer who stormed into her house wilson was not a suspect the officers shot blindly apparently taking her for a drug deal the baby was also injured survive sixty eight year old grandfather of

twelve yuri stems apparently did everything the police officer asked him in another raid but he was shot dead two when a fire discharged he wasn't a suspect either and as in the previous case was mistaken for a drug dealer. coming up off the break is a the latest episode of technology update and if you're watching us from the u.k. r.j. examines those some other myths all of google's nazi propaganda and i will set about . as a new physician i swear to abide by the hippocratic oath. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of

my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise others to do so. i will never do harm to the. doctors of the dogs i'm on to. this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something if simple as people playing a soccer game you can see individual players and you can see the ball. you can almost see a spatial expression you can see is now open and crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe he asked. for forgiveness for. there must be

near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured. hello welcome settles your date is the end about so but nice of closing in moscow but not really for us the sun hasn't finished everywhere so we thought we pop culture by going search for a song winter's knocking at moscow's door between normally sit on a long johns just yet so we travel to europe to soak up some rays imbibes a culture and see what's going on in the world of technology france was europe's largest exporter of electricity last year but despite its opponents in power the country is.
