exhaustive in very tired of the situation and they had hopes that this ceasefire will be extended and they will know how bring peace to this part of the country but now these hopes of. now the ceasefire was announced ten days ago in an attempt to restore peace in the east kiev the self-proclaimed republics met for the first time and agree to seven day truce that the legal permission for the use of russia's military force in ukraine was consulate president putin's request two days after that the truce was extended for seventy two hours with government forces promising to abide by it then on monday moscow invited international monitors on the ukrainian military to work together on the russia ukraine border. to russian journalists being caught on a talk near look down skin east ukraine a shell exploded near a reporter on camera men working for rent t.v. both were hospitalized with shell shock they channels twitter feed seized the

journalist ears were bleeding when he was being taken away. comes just a day after a cameraman from russia china one was killed in a shooting near a military base in eastern ukraine the results of his autopsy have been made public according to the medics two bullets hit him in his stomach which proved fatal the bullet tore through the man's body which is characteristic of an assault rifle round in it on protected targets emirate and certainly for the man will be held in moscow on weight and stay. since the beginning of the conflict five journalists have been killed and several wounded including one from our service and correspondents for various other russian news channels have been apprehended interrogated and even beaten while covering the conflict and now a ukrainian t.v. station says one of its crews has been detained in lugansk by self defense fighters . by ordering

a new offensive ukraine's new leader has willingly and fully accepted responsibility for the bloodshed in the east so said flooding near putin while speaking to top russian diplomats in moscow a little earlier i asked her what the president had to say let's cross to our tease paul scott who's been listening in paul just sum up the main aspects all of the speech first if you will it was the latest events in the east of ukraine that resonated most strongly during the president's speech here in moscow he stated that the recent cease fire although it was relatively futile as no meaningful discussions and negotiations were started between the two sides following ukrainian president petro poroshenko his decision to end that cease fire russian president vladimir putin says the polish and can now has to take responsibility for the events in east ukraine including civilian deaths. unfortunately present. to the decision to resume legal. we were not able when i see

you we. not been able to persuade the route to a long lasting peace cannot live through a war based approach we didn't have any thing to do with the previous military orders with the full responsibility for the continuation of this military. world russian president vladimir putin also went on to add that he believes the ukrainian military are deliberately targeting russian journalists in the east of ukraine saying that those that try and stop the flow of information are those that have the most to fear they're the ones who commit crimes putin also stated that if russia felt its territory or people want to threaten all options are in the on the table including political and economic moves as well as self-defense. are to correspondent thank you for the update. or for the full video of president putin's

speech as well as highlights on the sketch and head over to r.t. dot com right now where you'll also find much more background on the things mentioned. the u.s. said it would support any decision the ukrainian leader makes and demanded that moscow do more to the fuse the crisis whether to send the cease fire is a decision that ukrainian only crane will make and would certainly support the decision whatever decision that they make there are steps that we've long been calling for that are a part of what president has been calling for that russia has not done now they have taken some steps that have been. positive steps moving forward but there's a great deal more that they need to do in order to deescalate the situation by foreign affairs analyst. statements like these from washington show a lack of objectivity towards ukraine. i don't think washington will stop blaming

russia until the very last person refusing to recognize a nazi ukrainian state is either dead or imprisoned i think the whole process has been geared towards blaming russia for the national guard murdering people opposed to that hunter i find the whole thing of you know this is ukraine's decision and well respected extremely cynical because ukraine's decision in november was not to sign a deal with the e.u. and the united states and the you did not respect that in fact they basically set their puppets forth to take over power in the february coup so this is just extreme cynicism well how will the ukraine crisis reflect on long term relations between the country and its closest neighbors well that's the point ortiz oksana porker discussed with european commissioner for a larger into a neighborhood policy steffen fuel i have difficulties. sort of to compare and not only those two baskets neighborhood enlargement but also

the internal conflict within the borders really recall denies and a good neighbor relations and by the way when it comes to the good neighbor aleutians moldova georgia and ukraine we are very consistent in making it clear that we expect. to continue the traditionally very good relationship for duration of the neighbors. and you can did watch the whole interview with the european commissioner for enlargement neighborhood policy on thursday right here on r.t. international. it's come to light the top commander of the american mercenary company blackwater threatened to kill government official ascension vest a gate the firm broken by the new york times the instant was recorded in the state department documents all the way back to the iraq war what's worse special agents could do nothing about it because of blackwater's power at the time even the

american embassy in baghdad sided with the mercenaries the incident allegedly took place just weeks before one black water unit kills seventeen civilians in the iraqi capital over the years the u.s. government has been accused of using the company to do its dirty work abroad and blackwater is believed to have assisted the cia's drone mission in pakistan the government paid millions of dollars to the contractor in afghanistan on the market to have its own military bases but this by rebranding naming the company has field to escape its past us marine important he explains. when a newspaper publishes an exclusive story it's usually explicitly promoted like a journalistic badge of honor the new york times published a bombshell revelation monday but millions of readers may have actually overlooked the story due to the innocuous headline that was buried on the margin of the front page see here it says before shooting in iraq morning on blackwater well what this

headline does not convey is that block orders top manager in iraq threatened to kill a state department official who was investigating the company back in two thousand and seven according to the new york times this happened as jean richter a diplomatic security special agent and his colleague discovered a long list of contract violations and misconduct by the security company a company paid more than one billion dollars to protect american diplomats in iraq the reported death threat occurred when the state department investigator met with blackwater's project manager during questioning the block porter official reportedly told the investigator float that he could kill me at that very moment and no one could or would do anything about it as we were in iraq unquote according to the new york times u.s. embassy officials in baghdad sided with black water over the dispute and the state department agents were ordered to leave the country because their probe disrupted

the embassies relationship with the hired mercenaries the revealing story was written by two time pulitzer prize winning american journalist and author james risin a man who the obama administration has been optically attempting to imprison for refusing to reveal his sources you see this is the type of story the white house does not want disclosed to the public and based on the boring headline critics believe that the new york times considered a friend of the obama administration wasn't too eager to publicize the amazing school. i story that shows just how much power blackwater wielded in iraq and the culture of impunity operated in. r.t. new york. after the threat the intimidated us state department agents tried to stay out of sight in iraq refusing even to eat dinner in public the mercenaries they reported behaved as if they were above the law and run the place on to were

activist believes the firm managed to become the government's muster these contractors and these lobbyist are so tied up because of the revolving door that exist in washington and people moving in and out in the bush administration really in an unprecedented fashion accelerated the contracting out of basic tasks by the us government writ large and i think we see that people are afraid to challenge all of these these contractors because they have tremendous influence they have quite a bit of money they're deeply tied to all of these institutions both in terms of people formerly working there and people who would like to work there when they leave so it becomes a sort of symbiotic relationship where those who are higher up on the chain in the in the level of the contractors are really on par with those in the state department other agencies as opposed to the actual contractors abortion and sort those who are subject to the authority of a government entity. after a short break we bring a report about the expectations that western oil companies have with the conflict in iraq stay with us.

such as b.p. and shell pulled workers from oil fields in the south and east of the country earlier this month but north of the semi autonomous region of iraqi kurdistan is an oasis of tranquility and smaller british oil companies are reaping the benefits take for example canal energy run by form of b.p. pos tony hayward the company recently started pumping oil from its brand new u.k. alright pipeline which runs from the semi autonomous region of iraqi kurdistan over to turkey from where kurdish oil and gas can be sold to international markets for smaller british oil companies such as canel headquartered here in london where king and kurdistan is beneficial they get access to oil reserves in the north of iraq e kurdistan and in turn the money that they pay for it increases the financial independence of a separatist a region that's desperate to break away from the rest of iraq where jihadist groups

are running riot iraqi kurdistan insists that they have the moral and constitutional right to export their own oil with canelo bypassing the central government baghdad. however isn't happy about it refusing consent to canals planned exports and even stepping in with an arbitration suit to stop the first batch of oil from being sold on world markets the iraqi government is accusing the cordage. national or the british company. in one way or another that it could be. that process analysts say that iraq's crumbling or thirty could be beneficial for smaller british oil companies which to get a look in on oil fields run by corporate giants in southern iraq too small to be considered for a major oil field so what about

a bet if. they're getting away with it but they will never. never make it. can now energy isn't the only british oil to create kurdistan gulf keystone owns several sites in kurdish north iraq this is now in production with their oil and canals pipeline that runs directly from the region these small british players could be in store for months if profits why the baghdad likes it or not. r.t. london. independent kurdistan is something this really prime minister has already voiced his support to ward benjamin netanyahu believes the kurds have proven their political commitment to moderation and should be granted independence the director of the institute of goal for first read sees the emergence of an autonomous kurdistan is in the interest of western powers. they want to see

a kurdish state separate from iraq and that's very clearly. very clear in the reaction and the way that the united states government for example dealt with the kurdish takeover of car coke you see favoritism to kurdistan that could this turn actually has been getting way more than its share in terms of iraqi resources and power structure yet nobody's talking about the conditional or the negative conditional in what happened in the past two weeks basically allowing and accepting that the first take over the oil of course and because kurdistan needs that oil to be a functioning state that's one one of the last part of what could just wants. him out over on our website we've got lots of stories for you including. instead of the usual outdoor barbecues and fireworks two time u.s. presidential candidate ron paul has invited his fellow citizens to celebrate the

a referendum on the issues. of the change may affect the balance of power in the region as japan could help its allies fighting overseas at the same time the u.s. is the point yet more troops to the area washington knows more than eighty thousand military personnel and more than forty bases across the asia pacific region on columnist for foreign policy focused on holland and believes this has the potential to evolve into a regional conflict. this move by the japanese is prime minister to essentially change the constitution i see in other words this is blue dog is not going to go to voters to change the constitution and it's already going on at this point is to dilute the direction of an alliance. not terribly dissimilar to the alliance system that was set up by the western powers against the soviet union in the late one nine hundred forty s. in the one nine hundred fifty s. so sense that what you have is you'll have the united states and g.p.m.

general strangely of philippines eccentric bringing countries into an alliance with the debts directed at china. a country of roumania boasts millions of acres of fur thailand but a huge both it stands on use the government's failing to draw enough domestic investment so as not selling it overseas you're pissing off explains what this means for local farmers. from dusk till dawn for you leeana and her family farming isn't just a business it's their entire life. we have different types of animals here and also grow crops and we get everything from this land oath our food and things we're trying to sell in the millage. but typical story for millions of romanians so heavily depend on agriculture different types of crops and farms are seen everywhere across this for thailand nearly half of the country's population works in farming but despite this it produces less than ten percent off the g.d.p.

due to the poor conditions most of the farmers are in more over nearly a quarter of all romanians works in agriculture just to survive so modernizing this industry should really be one of the top priorities for the government romania was among the e.u. states its strongest by the global economic crisis and is still recovering well a proper overhaul of the agriculture sector would need big investment that's something the state currently doesn't have instead foreigners were allowed to enter the market which may not be working out exactly as planned. only ten percent of lands owned by foreigners seized agriculture for example in the west of the country millions of acres of bores are just to sell later it's a high price. so why is it more profitable to speculate with land rather than use it for production some foreign investors were met by and bureaucracy left over from communist times. when land was the nationalized and

distributed to the public it was pure chaos the documents are still so confusing often it isn't even clear who the owner is this doesn't provide any guarantees to the banks and modern agriculture is nothing without their loans so without loans and proper support from the state it's ordinary romanian squared up having to dig through these problems and unless the government finds the funds or at least chain . as a pro scraps obliging investors to develop plans of its own likely things will improve on their own you've got us going over r t romania. and just a few minutes time it's mucks and stacy with the latest kaiser report right here on r.t. international. as
