russia suggests ukrainian border guards join forces to fall to police checkpoints while always c.e.o. monitors could even be invited to but only if the truth in the east is extended also. to. russian cameramen is killed in the region after a bus carrying journalists and civilians is shot that despite an ongoing cease fire . the u.s. sends its first batch of military aid to help the iraqi government counter the sweeping offensive of radical fighters as they proclaim islamic order on the lands captured. as the black flag rises over parts of syria

and iraq will report on the defenseless minorities left at the mercy of the jihad is advance. those are to international live from moscow you with me to moments it's good to have you with us to see me. this is why in the east of ukraine has just expired and we're still waiting to hear whether the president so will choose to extended further meanwhile some last minute suggestions have been voiced in a bid to hold on to the fragile peace. has more live now irena live in moscow what exactly has been suggested. just as have been concerning the checkpoints on the russian ukrainian ukrainian border that have been taken over by and to kiev forces russia's president president putin suggested that ukrainian border guards joy in

those checkpoints on the russian side to serve as monitors of the situation so that they could along with russian border patrol control the situation from both sides so to speak russian president also suggested that i always see you monitors also join them on the very same locations with the very same purpose now russia's foreign minister has explained the reasoning behind this proposal. special attention was paid to the situation at the checkpoints. ukraine's president has been insisting on stablish in control of the situation and making it transparent so everyone can see military personnel and. those now again the main condition for this proposal to actually become effective is for the ceasefire to be extended and that is something that ukraine's president poroshenko has been essentially bombarded with by russia's president along with leaders from

france and germany over the past couple of days of course there is a second condition and that is that immediately peace talks are resumed between kiran and to kiev forces but again we're still waiting to hear from kiev whether or not the truce that everybody is holding out for whether that actually has. been decided on whether it will be extended or whether it actually will end tonight. in moscow following the day's developments indeed we're waiting to hear whether the truce will be extended or not but to remind you about the week's long truce it was declared to be in the east on friday the twentieth of june that was followed by talks between kiev and the self-proclaimed republics for the first time since the conflict started other problems vowed to recognize the ceasefire in the presence of russian and international monitors on wednesday the legal permission for the use of russia's military forces in ukraine if. needed was cancelled request this friday the truce was extended for three more days with anti-government forces promising to abide by other piece of it also saw always see monitors released after they were

detained in the region for analysis of the president putin's proposal let's talk to you martin mccauley a writer and analyst on the russia's face he joins us live now mr colley was ukrainian border guards are now the russian side of the crossing here will be no doubt able to see if moscow is really helping the anti government forces will that ease the tension between the two countries. it should do it's a step forward because the president. the kiev authorities have been complaining that the russians have been controlling the movement of weapons from russia into eastern ukraine and so on and now with these monitors will be able to in fact establish whether they're going in hopefully this will be a step in the right direction they also according to president putin stands for only as long as the ceasefire last so well that in carry kiev to prolong the truce

as it is for now it has. yes. on the thirtieth of june today it will expire but from a curious point of view they want a peace settlement president poroshenko needs to form the government and get elections and get. the ukraine as a normal state the economy is in a very bad state he needs peace at this time he needs to resolve this problem as soon as possible and conflict is not in his interests and is not in the interest of the kiev government. the difficulty for him is that the kiev authorities don't really control you know done it's done a job loss in the hunts. they don't control all the territory so therefore kiev will try and. ensure that this truce is held from their side.

but they of course will be hoping that the russians will contribute also that moscow will in fact kill to keep this truce because only if both sides work really want it would in fact be effective because. the situation over the last couple of months has been one in which it's sometimes a bit on a case very difficult to say at times who is responsible for what and so on but it's not like him thinking just maybe they have a government let me just ask you this how do you think that the anti-government forces will react sticky have spoiled or got stationed near the crossings the control. well it's up to the russian authorities because they will be on russian territory and the russian authorities position to in fact ensure their safety and the anti-government forces those who want. donetsk and jobless to become part of russia they will not be very pleased by this he said

move from their point of use negative they would prefer that not to happen so therefore it's up to moscow to ensure their safety and to inform the anti-government forces that this is they want a peace settlement and want a truce they want to ceasefire and they want some kind of settlement on paper between moscow and kiev what the poroshenko be doing right now. he started is to ensure peace to negotiate an agreement with moscow and it can only be done with in concert with moscow it has to be an agreement between the russian and . ukrainian government that will ensure a truce and then a cease fire and then some type of deal whereby both sides of the government for a new korean army cease offensive action so that peace can reign in that

area then gradually this area can come back to the normal situation kiev has to decide what the status of donetsk and luhansk problems will be will become a kind of autonomy is region within kiev or will kiev remain a unitary state that's something which at renegotiate that's a state after the cease fire and the the fighting and the negotiations with then begin on the future status of this region and the separatists would like something like crimea the position of crimea under kier before it became part of russia they would like to read an autonomous republic there right and it would be interesting to see whether president poroshenko is willing to negotiate on that basis martin mccauley a writer and analysts of russia's affairs thank you very much for being with us on r.t. international showing of use. this by the peace efforts

a journalist working in ukraine a remain in some danger a camera man for a russian t.v. channel has been killed in the he along with other t.v. crews that came under fire in the den yet screech and. that. was. like it was. yes. yes it was i know. here's how it happened he and other journalists were on a bus close to a ukrainian army base the vehicle was said to be carrying the mothers of soldiers

on their way to demand their sons return home gunfire reportedly came from inside the base. of the moons would be pretty. used to do their jobs eventually my duty would be yeah he's got three years to get me. the driver turned the bus around to attempt and get to safety as the shooting continued. to do. you can see bullets a hit to the bus that's when the until the not only was fatally wounded despite the efforts of other passengers to help him he died within an hour two other reporters on board described what occurred. i think that 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 the camera then in the car he was

conscious for a while but he lost consciousness when we got near the actual emergency station they tried to revive him for about half an hour but then they came out and said there was nothing more they could have done. on the. shooting started without warning and they were shooting to kill not a lot of warning and activists who later exile in the bus told us that one of the bullets was from a sniper rifles right there and i. spent forty years working for one t.v. company filming in war zones like yugoslavia iraq and syria he survived by his wife two children and several grandchildren this is what his colleagues had to say about the man. who does know he knew his work he always helped down the correspondence until today i never knew how old he was i couldn't believe he was sixty eight you know it's really hard to talk about him of the past dance but you think his job was his life i saw him in donetsk he told me that when he got back from his assignment

in ukraine he would go fishing in september. i've known him since nine hundred seventy two he was an outstanding cameraman cheerful to the subject but this is a great loss of interest. russia's demanding an investigation into the death of the cameramen a move widely supported by international organizations diplomatic and media organizations have condemned the latest death of a journalist in eastern ukraine which has taken the total number of related killings to five officials stress that press t.v. employees must never be targeted while always see un and human rights watch members called on all sides in the conflict to guarantee their journalists safety now let's take a look at what journalists have been facing in ukraine in the past months just two weeks ago army or tillery fire killed a russian correspondent and his sound engineer while they were forming refugees

outside the city of lugansk last month and italian photographer and his translator died in mortar shelling and reporter for our to use video agency ruptly was severely wounded by soldiers in the city of mariupol in may 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 beaten investigative journalist turney gosling believes the media under threat because kiev can't really into the radical elements in power. some cease fire isn't it we've had five journalists dead now this is the latest all it seems killed by the care for regime it means that there is a massive dissuasion for journalists to cover the subject it means they have to get

all sorts of gear frank proof clear this sort of thing into going to these results makes it much more difficult the ceasefire at the moment doesn't really seem to be a serious one doesn't seem to be holding i mean we've got a very serious problem with these key positions within the kiev government that is to say the attorney general the interior ministry and the defense ministry all held by people who are members of fascist parties and i think we in order to move forward we've got to have the germans and the french some real heavyweights in europe putting some pressure on the kiev government to remove these fascist from these key positions in the care of government the ceasefire between the army and to government forces has just expired and locals are pretty pairing for the worst as maria for us now reports. this is a bomb shelter watch out it was built decades ago when ukraine was part of the u.s. to start at the height of the cold war and it seems these dark times are returning to these part of the war old the enemy may be different but these abandoned sides

are now coming back to life through reason as they say if you want peace prepare for war the diem of the ganske resident volunteered to clean up soviet era bunkers they could provide a crucial defines against army air raids and to refine he says we speak to the dean during what is supposed to be a ceasefire the 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 size all over the city about one hundred bomb shelters are already open. brazil is rob realm of the euro this morning this pulled on the river all of rather the issue credible and i just heard that there were about the last one more of the board there is a row with the common core of not a great privilege but i must see. the way in the world where human longer works but

i feel awful for them up for me with their what would be your priority at this little girl more in your models of where we are through with comet is over but. there is also a kitchenette with some basic food and first aid kits. because in more than four suddenly we hear was sounds like distant shooting towards us organization not government probably a form of of. which in the us after which more but at least one you've heard of a keyboard. when with film vitalis daughter noster stops by. she also heard what we did there the sky was lit up with explosions when we were walking home through a filter van there were sirens and everyone started running away it was terrifying

the same thing happened later that night no one can say for sure whether these long abandoned bomb shelters will be needed again grief notion r.t. in lugansk eastern ukraine. you can see more dramatic images from the ukrainian conflicts on our website at our dot com meanwhile we'll be right back after the subway with more news right here on r.t. international. they all told me my language at all but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports first so i'm likely to push the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter part of the month to save the exists or k.l. a car is on the docket. they go no more weasel words when you made a direct question simply prepared for a change when you throw

a punch be ready for a. printout of speech and let him down the freedom to cost. dramas the chance to be ignored. stories of others to fuse to notice. the faces changing the world lights never. so picture of today's lives. on demand from around the globe. local. t.v. . hello there again this is r t international the u.s. has rushed a three day supply of hellfire missiles to the iraqi government in an attempt to

help the just brutal saudis battle jihad as militants are the army is once again trying to regain control over the city of tikrit as the extremists aim to capture baghdad now this comes after the radicals proclaimed islamic order on territories they captured both iraq and in syria they are areas they're now hold that contain economically vital oil side now the islamic state in iraq and syria is urging other extremist groups to pledge allegiance to the new state so the question arises where does isis get the funding it needs to snatch power in the region now it is thought the group has powerful behind the scenes sponsors in the gulf state isis is also involved in smuggling extortion and bank robberies in the course of it's a rapid advance on baghdad to the group took control of stockpiles of us made weaponry and even washington has paid its role in the rise of isis as archie is

worried about my experience now. they knew was terrorist organization known as isis is overtaking al qaeda as rain 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 golden in two 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 vetted 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 a stablish increase marina porton i.r. to washington d.c. . the isis attack on iraq is for the widening existing cultural and religious divide sunni's fighting she does muslim versus christians tribes against the government and kurds against all i'm caught in the time via saw the minorities who are more at threat than ever before

a sociopath most reports. 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 useless 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 through nothing but the clues in their banks. close medicines important papers everything we live behind i don't know how we'll get by someone donated those blankets and pillows and that's all we have. 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 cover the. had but supplies are limited and more and more people keep coming. 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 iraq in baghdad they used to slaughter you for being christian now in a suit it's the same thing there is no one to protect us. but 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 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 get disarmed. and leave them. 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 slaughter 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 a god it was a wake up call now we are here to defend ourselves now we have another weapon and we'll fight until our last drop of blood of as. determined but outnumbered and outgunned facing an uncertain future in an increasingly fractured iraq. lucie county new problems iraq.

well iraq could be heading towards an even more fractured future as kurds have earned a strong ally for their strive for independence israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has supported their statehood a professor at tel aviv university dr r. for binny believes with an independent kurdistan the region has a much greater chance of peace. i think that the two parties at the washington israel do not see eye to eye on this issue on the kurdistan issue because the united states is still hoping to keep iraq is a unified state but it isn't a use of goal because it doesn't work anymore the kurds have been having a state of their own for a long time even though they did not declare it and iraq has no say in good use down of iraq the kurds are force of stability there are. worst oriented they are secular more secular them the rest of the people you know did for ten

years already good this time of iraq is is really a very stable was this of stability. a look at some other world headlines now the israeli military have found three bodies near the west bank city of hebron believed to be those of the missing jewish teens who disappeared more than two weeks ago officials say the three appeared to have been shot dead shortly after the time there of their disappearance israel has accused the militant group hamas of kidnapping them but the fashion has repeatedly denied this the disappearance set off an uproar in israel and aggravated already strained relations with palestine. two bombs of gone off near the presidential palace in cairo killing two police officers and wounding several others a second explosive went off as a specialized squad were trying to defuse it comes days after islamist warned that
