a church was also hate at the time when during mass was happening there and there were also a series of explosions at a non-state internets no soldiers were there at the time we've been here in ukraine in military repeatedly that the checkpoints were attacked by self-defense forces well we can say that unfortunately whatever peace the reason in these parts of the country remains very very french all of course people very tired they are exhausted of the situation of months of clashes and months of tensions many fled already the country with many stay here and to 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 dog times are returning
6:07 am
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 ground troops they could provide a crucial to funds 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're examining 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 what was called brazil in this world well most people here were this not only this bald on the river all of rather to be sure and i just hope that there were about the
6:08 am
last one more that report there's a rose to come who are not there but there's a lady but i must say. that i am in that boat or human longer with but i feel you are far from up for me with there will be a priority at this program or in your models of gram where we'll go with come out of there for probably a minute 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 daughters organization not government thirtieth of a. after which all but at least when you should have a keyboard. when we film vitalis daughter nast or stops by. she also heard what we did. that but this guy was leading with explosions when we
6:09 am
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 falling expires in just a few hours time and no one can say for sure whether these lone abandoned bomb shelters will be needed to. refuel. eastern ukraine. you can see more dramatic images from the ukrainian conflict on our web site r.t. dot com. jobless militants fighting in syria and iraq have declared the creation of an islamist state spawning parts of both countries the tory's al qaeda break away group known as the islamic state of iraq and syria or isis is behind the declaration other fighters are urging other jobless groups to pledge allegiance to the new state as you can see on the map here the territory of isis covers the north of syria at this direction on the eastern half of iraq which
6:10 am
is home to rich oil fields so the question does arise where does isis get the funding it needs to snatch power in the region it's thought the group 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 the group took control of stockpiles of u.s. made weaponry and even washington has played its role in the rise of vises authorities marina portnoy reports. then u.s. terrorist organization known as isis is overtaking al qaeda as 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 why. being alongside isis isis is now emboldened in two countries but here's the anomaly
6:11 am
we're with isis in syria we're on the same side 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 that could party are directly 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
6:12 am
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 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 terrorists 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 that it was a group of terrorists is growing stronger and gain. more ground throughout the arab world there are safe haven remains in syria where the white house is promising to
6:13 am
send more weapons with the goal of establishing. 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 by chief from the middle east technical university who says turkey has been widely supported to how this in its bid to undermine assad. turkish government in particularly in syria is. entertaining strong. groups the turkish government until now has not you heard of this for about the rather speaking about the certain elements of islamic groups we know that the government friendly. group in those groupings also. has sympathy of the turkish government. the eyes attack in iraq has opened up the
6:14 am
already why divisions in its society there is 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 turkmen who are in a dire position as they seek out and often i reports i. was exhausted terrified with nowhere to go but these are ropes 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 is attacking us we just knew we had to get out there wasn't any time to panic most families are going to put nothing but the clothes again that crude clothes medicines important papers everything we left behind i don't know how we'll get by someone donated those
6:15 am
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. 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 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 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 are twice displaced were left baghdad at the height of the sectarian civil war lawyer. there is no safe place left on the rock in baghdad they used to slaughter you for being
6:16 am
christian now in a suit it's the same thing had they done that there is no one to protect us. not that what this is the sound of a country torn apart by sunni militants are sweeping across northwestern informed that in the south shiite militias are digging in the kurds to are on the move reclaiming long disputed territory iraq maybe one hundred three but for how long that actually the sectarian. divide is of real and 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. let me.
6:17 am
push my disarm. leave them. we arrived to find a deserted village the families have all fled for. these men stayed behind to defend the land. in your they used to be drivers teachers farmers and businessmen they took up arms two weeks ago after sunni extremists slaughter dozens of their people in a nearby village. which no one came to protect us when they attacked not the iraqi army i'm 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 you see counter no problems iraq. just ahead going to mastic see what

the strangest lot. people can buy and sell or trade almost anything on e bay from britney spears through bubble gum to super cars 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 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
6:21 am
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 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 and archer 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 e bay even a partially eaten group cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the virgin mary thatching a biblical twenty eight thousand dollars no wonder presidents are being listed as well. from on air to online on our website read about the russian company that's launched a pizza delivery service using drones but is unlikely to be getting any orders from

an angry agency. coin gets legal backing in california paving the way for a major advance of virtual currencies in the state get the full story on the. politicians often call on people to buy domestic to save local jobs on the industry but in the modern world is not even possible well one parse based journalist tried to survive an only french made products for ten months marina cost of a way to find it's how we got along. 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 special. attend. and then for most of 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
6:23 am
a situation where i had to buy everything again including furniture. inspired by government pleads to stick to french products to stem the country's decades long industrial decline the problem is that there aren't many products like 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 like goods are really called. today's rules of the european union 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 here commitments are opening the door to point competition force in french
6:24 am
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 but an absolute protectionism like in north korea is absolute that what everybody around the world agrees on that when 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 going. purchase them with patriotism take some afraid 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 just so long as they play fair one solution being put forward a system of all the employment standards within the european union and police local industries so that it's not cheaper to buy foreign products or get them
