welcome and thanks once again for joining us my name's neil harvey and you watching . first this hour a cameraman for a russian t.v. channel has been killed in eastern ukraine and another t.v. crew came under fire in the den yet screeching they were in a bus close to the ukrainian army base which was also carrying mothers of soldiers on their way to demand their son's return home when gunfire came from inside the base. and. they did it. and you can see that the bullets hitting the bus the driver turned the vehicle around to get to safety as the shooting continued the cameraman was fatally wounded

and he died within an hour incident came just a day before a cease fire between ukrainian army and self-defense fighters expires another reporter from russia's channel one was also on the bus and here is how he described the attack. in the room we heard he is on when we got out of shooting range the driver stopped the bus to wait for other journalists who were following in cars when we all got out of the boss and everyone was either calling home or calling their editors and then about a minute we saw signal flare in the sky and then the shooting started and everyone ran towards the bus they were shooting at the vehicle i was on the driver side and jumped in a bullet whizzed past me and then i saw that it hit the driver i solve blood on his head he started driving anyway but then feel dizzy and the bus veered into a ditch and stopped i ran out and saw someone was wounded and realized it was on a totally we were trying to find a car to get him to hospital and when we started taking him out of the bus he

turned around and his last words were the camera on the camera then in the car he was conscious for a while but he lost consciousness when we got near the accident and emergency station they tried to revive him for about half an hour but then they came out and said there was nothing more of the could have done it. not the first time russian journalists have been caught in ukraine's crossfire just two weeks ago army artillery fire killed a russian correspondent and a sound engineer or they were filming refugees outside the city of lugansk reports for artie's video agency roughtly was severely wounded by soldiers in the city of mariupol last month and it took several days to negotiate his return to moscow journalists are often detained without charge by government forces and correspondents for various russian news channels have been apprehended interrogated in need and beaten. the incident came at a time of declared truce in the east of the country president putin along with his german and french counterparts has called on the ukrainian leader petro poroshenko

to extend a cease fire that expires at seven pm g.m.t. on monday they held a phone conversation overnight auntie's refer not only joins us live now to discuss this further maria do you think this current truce is helped in any way is it any kind of relief. well the ceasefire which is currently in place in the eastern regions was of course supposed to pave the way to long awaited peace here in the country it would console you that it didn't work i told those we have been able to speak to here in the city of lagos going to three have been telling us that it did rain relative calm this annoyed became more solid so that finally people now could sleep but of course we continue here hearing about sporadic fire often resulted in qatar it is including the months of the then population we heard that the balance the percentage of calls if the ration

peaceably came on the fire with the residential area attacked and a woman and her son were killed a church was also hate at the time when during mass was happening there when thousands of people would gather in. the city market. became a target we've been here in ukraine in military repeatedly that that checkpoints were attacked by self-defense forces well we can say that unfortunately whatever peace the reason though in these parts of the country remains very very french all of whose people very tired they are exhausted all the situation of months of clashes and months of tensions and divorces here and many fled already the country through trying to avoid its war cities and trying to save their lives with many stay here and they say they will stay here because this is their land and this is their country and to have been hearing from many of them but their plan is

that case of alertness in case of need they will use them shelters there are many of them no open here in the city of the guns can we have visited some of them and here's my report about that. were this is a bomb shelter it was built decades ago when ukraine was pulled to the u.s. to soar at the height of the cold war and it seems these dog times are returning to these parts of the world. the enemy may be different but these abandoned sides are now coming back to life seriously as they say if you want peace prepare for war but deem the guns corroded and volunteered to clean up soviet era bunkers they could provide a crucial defense against army air raids and to refine he says we speak to the d.m. during what is supposed to be a cease fire they keep bombing us which is why we're working here the infrastructure is destroyed so we're taking the most important first steps to fix

it and allow people to shelter here similar work is currently underway at many similar stories all over the city about one hundred bomb shelters already open or posco brazil in an islamic world brown of the they were this close their fault on the river all of rather the issue credible and i just heard that there were about the last one more but reported there is a row with the common core of not a group. that i am that well human longer with but i feel awful for them up for me with their weather bureau proly at this program or in your home of wasn't going. to go with come out of. there is also a kitchenette with some basic food and first aid kits. and more than that for suddenly we here was sounds like distant shooting daughters organization not only a form of authority in one. thousand households and after the two all

but at least more unusual cover keyboard. when we filmed vitalis daughter nast stops by. she also heard what we did. there the sky was laid out with explosions when we were walking home through a filter then there were sirens and area one started running away it was terrifying the same thing happened later that night this is fire expires in just a few hours time and no one can say for sure whether these long abandoned bomb shelters will be needed again regional lugansk eastern ukraine. you can see dramatic images from the ukrainian conflict for yourself if you had to our website r.t. dot com. in other news jihadist militants 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 and they are urging other jihadist groups to pledge allegiance to the new state and as you can see on our map here its territory covers the north of syria an eastern half of iraq which is home to rich oil 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 of the group as a 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 portnoy in our reports. then he was terrorist organization known as isis is over taking out his reign 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 into countries but here's the anomaly we're with isis 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 isis insurgents at a training camp in jordan so the saudis the qataris all those are directly involved in this regime change policy in syria and 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 members of the moderate syrian opposition will receive american weapons and ammo problem is it's not always easy to differentiate between the moderates and to. arest here's u.s. senator john mccain posing with members of isis the photo is now reportedly being 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 white house is promising to send more weapons with the goal of establishing peace marina porton i.r.t. washington d.c. . and it is not just go for countries or the u.s. behind the rise of the militants operating in syria we spoke to dr same bhaji from the middle east technical university says that turkey has been widely supported to hardest and its bid to undermine assad. you know the turkish government and particularly in syria is. entertaining strong. islamic groups who took years for months until now have not moved to the third of

these four this was about the rather speaking about the certain elements of islamic groups we know that the turkish government friendly. groupings and those groupings also of. sympathy of the turkish government well the answer is attack on iraq has opened up the already why divisions in its society various religious strife between sunnis and shias along with the separatist sentiments among kurds in the north and then there are other minorities like christians and men who are in a dire position as of course from the caffein of expect. i. was exhausted terrified with nowhere to go but these are wrong newest refugees in a single day tens of thousands of iraqi christians were forced to flee their homes after clashes erupted between isis militants and kurdish 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 have nothing but the clothes in their backs food clothes medicines important papers everything we left behind i don't know how we'll get by someone deny to those blankets and pillows and that's all we have they found safety on the outskirts of the kurdish capital but not much else temperature store 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 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 displaced 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 christian now we must suits 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 in the south shiite militias are digging in the kurds to are on the move reclaiming long disputed territory iraq may be one country but for how long it actually is sectarian. divide it's a real it's becoming more violent 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. that. 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 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 is. determined but outnumbered and outgunned facing an uncertain future in an increasingly fractured iraq. nusi county cuckoo province iraq. i do stay with us still to come for you this hour the taste of free running palestinian teenagers struggling under military occupation and poverty find joy in jumping the pok cool way. how could you be see what happens when a man sets out to live on only products made in france but. this is a media leader so we need to be. part of the scene bush and see your. play your

part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics. are. on the air and in the financial world. calment cannot stop incidentally take no demand to credit not going to get any economic benefit in life there are. now.

welcome back you're watching out international good to have you with us is there anything that money can't buy well apparently not online where even national leaders are being put up for sale and as a teaser gold piece going off found out that's not even the strangest loss. people can buy and sell or trade almost anything on e bay from britney spears through bubble gum to supercars and even someone's life one man in south africa seems to have taken things to the next level placing a lot to auction the country's president the description of the law says jacob zuma has five years' experience as the president is in great health has eight wives and eighteen children the user nicknamed average joe placed a lot added he wanted to trade president zuma for someone with similar skills just cheaper to run and more clever many south africans have indeed been criticizing the

president for becoming a bit too costly for the budget for instance he spent twenty seven million dollars just to restore his country house which was fixed with a new tennis court of football pitch helli bad and other high life accessories that's despite many in the country still not being connected to the sewer system while around thirteen million are thought to live on just two dollars a day even though trading humans is a legal this isn't the first time a living person has been put up for grabs on e bay recently a ten year old girl from england tried to sell her own grandmother describing her as annoying what could only the biggest bid reach twenty thousand dollars but was taken down shortly after a while one australian man actually sold his own life the lot included his house his motorbike and a car his business and even his friends were separated with his partner and decided to start afresh his old life fetched three hundred five thousand u.s. dollars and now he's reported to live on an island near panama with a new girlfriend so really almost anything can be found on even

a partially eaten group cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the virgin mary fetching a biblical twenty eight thousand dollars no wonder presidents are being listed as well. moving from on air to online on a website you can read about the russian companies as well as the pizza delivery service using drones but is unlikely to be getting any orders from the and to be aviation agency. plus bitcoin get legal backing in california paving the way for a major advance of virtual currencies in the state get all the details on a story that always. 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 for one paris based journalist trying to survive on only french made products for ten months on the

screen of kosovo went to find out how he did. how frank skin a person really is in this day and age the answer is ninety six point nine percent if you ask french journalist special car at ten. 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 a month i found myself in a situation where i had to buy everything again including furniture. inspired by government pleads to stick to french products to stem the conscience decades long industrial decline the problem is that there aren't many products like that a purely franks 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 shirt for example and you just so the buttons in front of 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 the economic patriots like benjamin it is hard to support the french more than me according to some experts that claim the point he's european commitments are opening the door to point competition and force in french 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 absolute protectionism like in north korea is absolute what everybody around the world agrees on that when we go from one extreme to another where there is no regulation at all industrialization comes from globalization but it doesn't happen because some bad guys took the jobs of the french but because the french companies

think we will make more money by. going approved 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 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 foreign products or get them manufactured applause. i love my wife 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 be on his borders again but he's paying more attention to labels and ecological recycle products no matter where they come from marina cost reports in paris art. ok time to round up some of the world headlines for you now starting with this

hundreds of people gathered for a rally outside the b.b.c. studios in the scottish city of glasgow demonstrators voiced their anger over the news organizations coverage of the upcoming independence referendum they accuse the b.b.c. of being biased in favor of british unity. but fighters have attacked several villages in northern nigeria reports say dozens of civilians have been killed. sixty overthrow the government and establish an islamic state has unleashed a bloody campaign in recent months killing hundreds they still hold captive scores of schoolgirls who were abducted in april. shooting in the u.s. city of new orleans is left nine people injured two of them critically so the victims were caught in a crossfire during a shootout between two men in the tourist area around bourbon street police are still looking for the suspects involved in the gun battle. and heavy rains battering southern china caused flash floods and landslides over the weekend in

some parts traffic was brought to a standstill as roads were swallowed by rushing water downpours started on thursday of last week forecasts say the bad weather will continue in coming days. next that country is dealing with a turf war extreme poverty and unemployment so palestinian teenagers cling to anything that is left untouched by the israeli occupation reports now on how free running is helping them to taste freedom on the rooftops of east jerusalem also dean mohammed and could are warming up they are getting ready to run but this time it's not from israeli soldiers park or for free running is a sport that's played outside the only things you need are every day obstacles and these boys have plenty of those. sometimes i feel stressed and i want to break free so i practice the great thing about barak or is that you can do whatever you want.

insel dean and his friends were present a new breed of palestinian youth modern internet savvy and connected to the global social media sphere. but there are. other things that i watched a movie called be thirteen me and a friend started doing part of course we watched movies on you tube and we practiced alone you practice in order to be professional and famous and while the seems an extreme activity in a deeply conservative society even their parents see the upside. of this are pairs that not accepted in the beginning because it is dangerous but after they saw our progress after they saw they were getting stronger and going away from smoking and problems they started to support us for these boys park or is more than just a sport it's a form of resistance and we are the courts would do this sport in jerusalem to say here we are air police the unions who are alive and doing well. but that doesn't

prevent the israelis from trying to stop them over lebanon how to kill their gibberish and tried hard to prevent us from doing this they are a set of us but we get that out and wrong never stop and across the border just like to jerusalem brothers gaza's adrenaline junkies get a daily fix from jumping israeli hurdles filled with started doing it in our club in two thousand and eleven but it was struck in two thousand and twelve so we had to train in the street even israeli strikes don't ski garza's group a free one is it takes more than a pillar of smoke to stop the slaughter policy r r t east jerusalem. i do hope you will stay with us here on the international back with more news at the top of the hour after a very short break though we'll have a look into the life of mercenaries in sofia and if you're watching is in the u.k. it'll be crosstalk with a report on the role of alternative media and. this

is what we do we kill people and break things we can see something as simple as people playing soccer you can see individual players and you can see the ball. you can almost see is facial expression you can see is now full cry out.
