time we've been here and ukrainian military repeatedly that that checkpoints were attacked by self-defense forces well we can say that unfortunately what tab or piece the reason now in these parts of the country remains very very different job and 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 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 posed as they used to store 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 disarmed but these abandoned sons are now coming back to life. as they see if you want peace prepare for war

the diem a resident volunteered to clean up soviet era gun can use they could provide a crucial defines against on the air raids and to refine it he says. we speak to the dean during what is supposed to be a cease fire they're evolving 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 and this is what realm of the there were this not only this pulled on me of the role of rather the issue credible and i just heard that there were about the last one more that you're bored there's a road to come in who are not a great privilege but i must say. that i am that boy in the longer with but i feel
7:08 am
you are far from up for me with the weather bureau poorly at this program or in your mother's of where we are through with the with come out of there for probably a minute there is also a kitchenette with some basic food and first aid kits and you know because i'm more than. suddenly we're here with sounds like distant shooting daughters organization not only a form of authority in. two thousand households in the us 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 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 following expires in just
7:09 am
a few hours time and no one can say for sure whether these lone abandoned bomb shelters will be needed to. refuel guns eastern ukraine. you can see more dramatic images from the ukrainian conflict on our web site r.t. dot com. has militants fighting in syria and iraq has declared the creation of an islamist state spawning parts of both countries the now notorious al-qaeda breakaway group known as the islamic state of iraq and syria or isis is behind the declaration of the fighters are urging other jihadist groups to pledge allegiance to the new state as you can see on the mop the tears here vises coverage the north of syria here on the eastern half of iraq all this area which 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 well it is thought that the group powerful
7:10 am
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 isis authorities rena porton i reports. then us 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 along. 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
7:11 am
contradiction to this whole policy according to reports the us government may have inadvertently played a direct role in strengthening extremists there are 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 in iraq and united states has helped and created these conditions and this will cause chaos an 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
7:12 am
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 terrorist here's us 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 grow. stronger and gaining more ground throughout the arab world there are safe haven remains in syria where the white house is promising to send more weapons with the goal of establishing peace. r.t.d. washington d.c.
7:13 am
. 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 supporting the harvest in its bid to undermine assad. turkish government and particularly in syria is. entertaining strong closed. groups the turkish government until now has not moved to settle these for about the rather speaking about certain elements of islamic groups we know that the government has been friendly. group in those groups also of course this group has sympathy of the turkish government. by the isis attack on iraq has opened up the already wide divisions in its society there is religious strife between sunnis and shias along with the separatist sentiments among kurds in the
7:14 am
north and then there are other minorities like christians and turkmen who are in a dire position as lucy cuffing off now reports. that he's 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 is attacking us we just knew we had to get out there wasn't any time to panic most families are going to cook nothing but the cruising again. close medicines important papers everything we left behind i don't know how we'll get by someone tonight of 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 for pasta 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 calico 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 in walks do including christian population not anymore families like this one and twice displaced were left baghdad at the height of the sectarian civil war lawyer gets up at the house there is no safe place left in the. iraq in baghdad they used to slaughter you for being christian now in a suit it's the same thing and there is no one to protect us. that was

this is the sound of a country torn apart by sunni militants are seeking a price northwesterly informed that in the south shiite militias are digging in the courage to are on the move reclaiming long disputed territory iraq may be one pinch me but for how long that actually the sectarian. divide is 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 the rocks 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. bush might get to disarm them leave them. we'll really have to find
7:17 am
a distorted village the families have all fled for safety these men stayed behind to defend the land. to 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 as. determined but outnumbered and outgunned facing an uncertain future in an increasingly fractured iraq. you see count cuckoo problems iraq. coming up just to later in the program i looked up this strange world online selling or even the south african president has

politicians often call on people to buy domestic to save local jobs and industry but in the modern world is it even possible while one part space journalist tried to survive on only french made products for ten months artie's marina find out how he got along. how frank's kind of person really in this day and age the answer is ninety six point nine percent if you ask french journalists venture the put a ten month ban on anything for. 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 stop the country's decades long
7:23 am
industrial decline the problem is that there aren't many products like that a purely francs 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 and firms 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 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
7:24 am
a year absolute protectionism like in north korea is absolute what everybody around the world agrees on that but we go from one extreme to another where there is no regulation at all industrialisation 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 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 just so long as they play fair one solution being put forward some level the employment standards within the european union and boost local industries so that it's not cheaper to buy for 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

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 rest 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 that's the most important aspect of this decision is the person it sets the court said that just because a cell phone is in a suspect 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
7:28 am
just because i have a to. telephone or computer that doesn't make the information on them unworthy of protection from the n.s.a. or the privacy invaders the thing is that the 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 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 afford. to different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep tabs norris. we post only what really matters at r.t.
