fighting in syria and iraq have declared the creation of an islamist state spanning parts of both countries the now notorious al-qaeda breakaway group known as the islamic state of iraq and syria or isis is behind that declaration as you can see on our map here the territory covers the north of syria and the eastern half of iraq which is home to rich or fields so the question arises where exactly does isis get the funding that it needs in order to seize power in the region well it's thought that the group as powerful sponsors in the gulf states which fund its activities isis is also involved in smuggling extortion and bank robberies in the course of its rapid advance on baghdad the group took control of stockpiles of u.s. made weaponry and even washington has played its role in the rise of isis as artie's marina porton our expense. he was terrorist organization known as isis is
12:08 am
over taking out his brain as public enemy number one sunni islamic militants are unleashing brutality and bloodshed in iraq but its next door in syria during a three year civil war where the extremist group got its start we are where we are because we armed the syrian rebels we have been fighting alongside al-qaeda fighting alongside isis isis is now emboldened in two countries but here's the. this is in syria we're on the same sort of the war so those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria that is the real contradiction to this whole policy according to reports the us government may have inadvertently played a direct role in strengthening extremists there also allegations that the united states may have been involved in some of the training of the insurgents at a training camp in jordan so the saudis the others are directly
12:09 am
involved in this regime change policy in syria and in iraq and united states has helped and created these conditions and this will cause chaos and expanding war in the region according to german magazine der spiegel americans were still in jordan in march of last year training up to twelve hundred members of the free syrian army to use anti-tank weapon mary we have spent a lot of time trying to work with a moderate opposition in syria now the white house is ready to spend a lot of money the obama administration has requested half a billion dollars to arm and train syrian rebels fighting to topple president bashar assad u.s. officials claim only appropriate that it members of the moderate syrian opposition will receive american weapons and ammo problem is it's not always easy to differentiate between the moderate and terrorist here's u.s. senator john mccain posing with members of isis the photo is now reportedly being
12:10 am
circulated by the group as proof of their legitimacy not to be disputed the legitimacy of isis is gruesome behavior violence so horrific some report osama bin ladin looks like a gentle soul in comparison as the newest group of terrorists is growing stronger and gaining more ground throughout the arab world their safe haven remains in syria where the why. house is promising to send more weapons with the goal of establishing marina porton i.r.t. washington d.c. . and it's not just gulf countries or the u.s. behind the rise of the militants operating in syria we spoke to dr hussein chief in the middle east technical university he says that turkey has been widely supported to harvest in its bid to undermine assad. you know that the turkish government in particularly in syria is. entertaining drunk and close listen to
12:11 am
this from a group three took this government until now has not used the word terrorist for this was about the rather speaking about the certain elements of the islamic groups we know that the turkish government has been friendly. groupings and groupings also abuse of course this turkish sympathy of the turkish government. well the answer is attack on iraq has opened up the already why divisions in its society there is religious strife between sunni's and she is along with the separatist sentiments among kurds in the north and then there are other minorities like christians and turkmen who are in a dark position as our correspondent catherine off reports i. am here exhausted terrified with nowhere to go these are wrong newest refugees in a single day tens of thousands of iraqi christians were forced to flee their homes
12:12 am
after clashes erupted between isis militants and polish forces. all of a sudden we heard shelling and explosions we didn't know who was attacking us we just knew we had to get out there wasn't any time to panic most families are going to get nothing but the clothes and their backs up food clothes medicines important papers everything we left behind i don't know how we'll get by someone donated those blankets and pillows and that's all we have they found safety on the outskirts of the kurdish capital but not much else temperatures through our past a hundred degrees fahrenheit there is power from a generator in a nearby theater but fuel is running out. it's hard to believe that just yesterday this was a completely empty parking lot overnight it's been turned into a makeshift refugee camp. the family has fled in the paddock an entire village emptied overnight the volunteers are doing their best to help however they can but
12:13 am
supplies are limited and more and more people keep coming most came from carrick hoshi an ancient christian community on the outskirts of the isis controlled city of mosul it was seen as one of the last safe havens for iraq's do enduring christian population not anymore families like this one are twice displeased they left baghdad at the height of the sectarian civil war. there is no safe place left in the rock in baghdad they used to slaughter you for being a christian now i'm assuming it's the same thing there is no one to protect us. this is the sound of a country torn apart sunni militants are sweeping across northwest a lot in baghdad and the south shiite militias are digging in the kurds to are on the move reclaiming long disputed territory iraq maybe one hundred but for how long that actually the sectarian. divide it's real it's becoming more violent
12:14 am
and that's why you need to separate the communities and have everybody take care of their own. in kirkuk province we need a leader of iraq's minority turkmen community he's taking us to meet the newly formed militia they face extermination from sunni militants he tells me but he doesn't trust the kurds to protect them either. which might be disarmed. we arrived to find a deserted village the families have all fled for safety these men stayed behind to defend the land. go up they used to be drivers teachers farmers and businessmen they took up arms two weeks ago after sunni extremists slaughtered dozens of their people in a nearby village. no one came to protect us when they attacked not the iraqi army
12:15 am
and not the person or god it was a wake up call now we are here to defend ourselves we have enough weapons and we'll fight until the last drop of blood as. determined but outnumbered and outgunned facing an uncertain future in an increasingly fractured iraq lucy catherine of kuku province iraq. still to come for you to sound the taste all free running palestinian teenagers struggling in the military occupation of poverty find joy in jumping the cool way. also how french can you see what happens when a man sets out to live only on fronts made products but. right close to. the first street. and i think you're.

the weekend in some parts traffic was brought to a standstill as roads were swallowed by rushing water the downpour started on thursday of last week and forecasts say that bad weather will continue in coming days. and politicians often call on people to buy domestic in order to save local jobs and industry but in the modern world is that even possible where one power a space journalist trying to survive on only french made products for ten months. went to find out how he got on. how frank skinned a person really is in this day and age the answer is ninety six point nine percent if you ask french journalist specially the put a tent and then for most of us the. rules of this experience were to get rid of everything that was not french and only use products that god most of their added value on french soil with an average salary of one thousand eight hundred euros
12:25 am
a month i found myself in a situation where i had to buy everything again including furniture. inspired by a government plea to stick to french products to stem the conscience decades long industrial decline the problem is that there aren't many products left these days that a purely french what really surprised me is how much food we import each time i see a foreign product i think it's crazy because it could have been made in front but it's not. but benjamin's biggest surprise was that shoppers probably don't know whether french flag goods are really from. today's rules of the european union a crazy if you take the should for example and you just so the buttons in from you have the right to put a made in france label on it it's the last operation the product undergoes that matters. even though it's not hard to find economic patriots like benjamin it is hard to support the french economy according to some experts claim the point he's european commitments are opening the door to point competition and force in french
12:26 am
companies out of business. we estimate that in france there is roughly one plant closing every day between two hundred forty and two hundred sixty plants a year we estimate that there are between three hundred four hundred jobs in the industrial sector that disappeared daily and that every day there are five hundred to seven hundred people who pass under the poverty threshold as calculated by the national institute of the statistics that. industrialization comes from globalization but it doesn't have. because some bad guys took the jobs of the french but because the french companies think we will make more money by going abroad purchasing with patriotism takes some effort but shoppers here are giving it a go and the hope of saving local businesses and keeping them in the country retail experts say there's room for all just so long as they play fair. absolute protectionism like north korea is absolute everybody around the world agrees on
12:27 am
that but we go from one extreme to another where there is no regulation at all. one solution being put forward is to level the employment standards within the european union and boost local industries so that it's not cheaper to buy farm products or get them manufactured applaud. i love life and i love to benefit from things and i think it's impossible to live completely with french products it costs too much anyway and it takes a crazy amount of time because it's hard to find needless to say benjamin is now by n.p.r. his borders again but he's paying more attention to labels and ecological recycle products no matter where they come from marine the cost of our reporting from paris for r.t. . to stay with us here on r.t. international still to come for you a firsthand account from a former british soldier turned mercenary who tried to launch a coup that sin sophie and co and if you're watching this in the u.k. you can enjoy afshin rattansi takes his underground.

as people playing soccer games you can see individual players and if you see the ball. i can almost see is facial expression and you'll see is a mouth open in crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe even asked. for forgiveness for a house. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured.
