dish it out. as you can see that bullets hitting the bus the driver turned the vehicle around to get to safety as the shooting continued the cameraman though was fatally wounded and dying to within an hour the incident came just the day before a ceasefire between ukrainian army and self-defense fighters expires another reporter from russia's channel warm was also bus and here is how he described the attack. in the room. 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 just a bullet whizzed past me and then i saw that it hit the driver

a solid blood on his head he started driving anyway but then fell dizzy and the bus veered into a ditch and stopped i ran out and saw someone was wounded and realized it was on a little weak 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 cameraman and the camera then in the car he was conscious for a while but he lost consciousness when we got near the accident and emergency chute ation they tried to revive him for about half an hour but then they came out and said there was nothing more that could have done it. let's take a look now at some video that we have just got in it was taken inside the bus and it shows the cameraman's final minutes.

carried. out in the way. that. you can see really powerful video footage that russia is demanding an investigation into the death of the cameraman and for those responsible to be punished it's not the first time that journalists have been caught in ukraine's crossfire just two weeks ago army artillery fire killed a russian correspondent and his sound engineer or they were filming refugees outside the city of lugansk a reporter for artie's video agency ruptly was severely wounded by soldiers in the city of mariupol last month 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

and even be. well 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 ukrainian leader pressure poroshenko to extend the cease fire that expires at seven pm g.m.t. on monday they held a phone conversation overnight r.t. rif national reports on how the cease fires affected life in the embattled area. those we have been able to speak to here in the city of lagos going to three have been telling us that if the rain relative calm there's a noise became more silent so that finally people now could leave but of course we continue here hearing about sporadic fire often resulting in fatalities including a month civilian population we heard that the city of slovyansk the at the center of a key it's called anti terror gratian repeatedly came under fire with a residential area attacked and a woman killed a church was also hit at the time when during mass was happening there there were

also a series of explosions. and announced no soldiers were there at the time 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 i know in these parts of the country remains very very different job and of course people very tired they are exhausted over the situation of months of clashes and months of tensions many fled already the country with many stay here and who have been hearing from many of them that their plan is that in case of emergency in case of need they will use them shelters and we visited some of them and here's my report about that this is a bomb shelter watch out it was built decades ago when ukraine was part of the used to store at the height of the cold war and it seems these dark times are returning

to these parts of the world the enemy may be different but these abandoned sons are now coming back to life. as they see if you want peace prepare for war the diem as a resident volunteered to clean up soviet era bunkers they could provide a crucial defines against on the air raids and to refine he says. we speak to the dean 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. brazil is rob realm of people who were this not only this pulled on me if they're all of rather the issue credible and i just heard that there were about twenty more

but the border is the road to come who are not going but there is a legitimacy. that i am in that well human longer with but i feel awful for them up for me with their whether it be up early at this program or in your home office with. with come out of. there is also a kitchenette with some basic food and cursed keats you know doesn't wasn't too good for suddenly we're here with sounds like distant shooting dogs organization. from of authority and when there. was no hostile action after which all but at least when you should have a keyboard. when we film vitalis daughter nasty stops by. she also heard what we did. there i discover was laid out with explosions when we were walking home through a filter then there were sirens and everyone 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. in lugansk eastern ukraine. and you can see dramatic images from the ukrainian conflict if you had to our website that ossie dot com. so i move to other news now jihadist militants fighting in syria and iraq have declared the creation of an islamist state that spans parts of both countries you know 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 as you can see on our map here it's totally covers the north of syria and the eastern half of iraq which is home to rich oil fields so the

question arises where exactly does isis get the funding that it requires in order to seize power in the region well it is thought that the group has powerful sponsors in the gulf states which fund its activities isis is also involved in smuggling extortion and bank robberies in the course of it's a 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 explains. the other terrorist organization known as isis is overtaking 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 in bold and 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 went at a training camp in jordan so the saudis that could party 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 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 moderates and terrorist. 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 merino porton i.r.t. washington d.c. . it's not just goals countries all the u.s. behind the rise of the militants operating in syria we spoke to dr hussein bhaji from the middle east technical university who says turkey has been widely supporting jihadists in its bid to undermine assad. turkish government and particularly in syria is. an intervening strong. groups we took this government will now not move. for the rather speaking of certain elements of islamic groups we know that the government of friendly. grouping. groupings also. has sympathy. of the turkish government the isis attack on iraq has opened up the

already why divisions in society there is religious strife between sunni and shia is along with the separatist sentiments among kurds in the north and then there are other minorities like christians in turkmen who are in a dire position as a correspondent lisa catherine off explains. it has exhausted terrified with nowhere to go these are wrong snoozed 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 is attacking us we just knew we had to get out there wasn't any time to panic most families were going to cook nothing but the cruciate that. he would close medicines important papers everything we left behind i don't know how we'll get by someone tonight if those

blankets and pillows and that's all we have the family's safety on the outskirts of the kurdish capital but not much else temperatures through our pasta hundred degrees fahrenheit there is power from the 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 families fled in a paddock and 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 calico and 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 dwindling christian population not anymore families like this one twice displaced were left baghdad at the height of the sectarian civil war the lawyer gets up. ahead there is no safe place left on the rock in baghdad they used to

slaughter you for being a christian now in a suit it's the same thing and there is no one to protect us. not that but this is the sound of a country torn apart sunni militants are sweeping across northwest log in again. dead in the south shiite militias are digging in the kurds to are on the move reclaiming long disputed territory iraq maybe one but for how long it actually is sectarian. divide it's 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 q.q. 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 disarm. them. we'll really have 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. 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

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 football pitch helli bad and other high life accessories 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

industrial decline the problem is that there aren't many products like in stainless that a purely franks. 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 like goods as little. 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 economic patriots like benjamin it is hard to support the french although me according to some experts claim the point commitments are opening the door to point competition and force in french companies out of business. 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 that what everybody around the world agrees on that but we go from one extreme to another where there's no regulation at all the industrialized nation 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 go. purchase them with patriotism take 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 is 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 the say benjamins now by the

far east now the reports that we're getting so far say that there were thirteen passengers and a pilot on board it is not clear yet where exactly the aircraft was heading to rest assured though we will bring you updates on this story as we get them so join me for more on that story and the rest of the day's news at the top of the hour after a short break though we'll have a special report on the work of dr. they were involved in the torture of detainees . have you ever heard the expression pleasantly surprised well that is how i felt when i heard that the supreme court of the united states had ruled that digital information on cell phones of arrest of people cannot be seized without a warrant finally the american people catch a break in a court decision this ruling is linked to the two cases in which the police used

information on a suspect telephone to press for further charges against them i think this is the most important aspect of this decision is the precedent it sets the court said that just because a cell phone is in a suspects hand it does not make the information on it any less worthy of protection for which the founding fathers fought so could we extend this to say something like just because i have a telephone or computer that doesn't make the information on them unworthy of protection from the n.s.a. or other privacy invaders the thing is that this supreme court decision is a good start but the police using your cell phone against you upon arrest is just the tip of the privacy destruction iceberg if the members of the highest court in a land really do feel that the founding fathers fought to protect our privacy then they have a lot of paperwork and court decisions ahead of them for stuart but that's just my opinion. your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't. call it different. the boss
