the news center here in moscow twenty four hours a day you're switched on to r.t. international. welcome the ukrainian army house resumed a full scale military crackdown on the eastern provinces attacking several cities a temporary ceasefire ended overnight and kiev is refusing to extended president petro poroshenko says there will be no further truce accusing the self-proclaimed republics of failing to abide by it. but we will advance and we will liberate. crane's armed forces the national guard and the russians of vision's will never use force against civilians they will never target residential areas. the military operation resumed almost instantly after that statement.

locals in the city of kramatorsk say they woke up to the saw end of an herb raid siren videos have emerged showing the aftermath of the shelling as you can see residential houses and shops have once again suffered heavy damage from photojournalist patrick lang custer was caught in the overnight shelling he sent us this video. comes again if. there is no. he said he heard around four dozen explosions on eventually had to hide in a basement. parties refinish this cry is the situation in the region

for us. the large scale military operation the case of calls anti terror operation is now officially resumed in eastern ukraine the most dramatic picture we see in the town of the time a tourist can denounce krege and it used to be one of the two major epicenter is of kiev's operation and we spoke to a foreign journalist currently on the ground and this is how he describes the situation there right now. i mean. really. slim down screaming another target k.-tel you to leave crane in army for months these town in the next creighton so severe attacks by the ukrainian military and fierce clashes between the army and to government forces often resulted in

fatalities including him on civilian population and now again we start receiving alarm in massachusetts from these town as well were there are the words you. don't want to see when you were there well of which food that you just received was for sure none yet for service all of us there was the course that there was. one of. the broken record with both of you at the for the news of most of your bomb. we wish your group if you would would be able to. i'm not in the city of new guns kind of from what i can see and hear you may think that it's calm here but overnight and early in the morning we are heard and these are where they sound that work. they

are very exhausted been very tired of the situation and they had help said the ceasefire will be extended and that will help bring peace to this part of the country but now these hopes. and here's the latest footage we've received from the nets you can see plumes of black smoke rising from the city are reportedly the consequences of the fighting that resumed overnight. let's look back at the cease fire the feel to hold it was announced ten days ago in an attempt to restore peace in the kiev in the south became republics met for the first time and agreed a seven day truce on the legal permission for the use of russia's military force in ukraine was consulate a mere putin's request two days later the truce was extended for seventy two hours with government forces promising to abide by it on monday moscow invited international monitors the ukrainian military to work together on the russia

ukraine border to russian journalists have come under fire near lugansk in eastern ukraine a shell exploded near a reporter on camera working for rain t.v. the reporter spoke to us shortly after. through film an interview there was a sudden explosion i don't know where it came from we were thrown to the side like duals knew the cameraman and the whole self-defense fighters that were with us there was howling in my ears i've never heard anything like it quickly given first aid and so on to the hospital. now this comes just a day after a cameraman from russia's channel one was killed in a shooting near a military base in eastern ukraine the results of his autopsy have now been made public according to the medics two bullets hit him one in his stomach which proved fatal and the bullet tore through the man's body which is part of an assault rifle round in an unprotected target a commemoration ceremony for the man will be held here in moscow on weight and stay

since the beginning of the conflict five journalists have been killed and several wounded including one from artie's roughtly service and correspondents for various other russian news channels have been apprehended interrogated and even beaten while working there 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 recently elected leader has willingly fully accepted responsibility for the bloodshed in the east so said the mirror putin while speaking to top russian diplomats a little earlier he added that despite efforts by both him and his european counterparts they were unable to influence give or tease us more. well it was the latest events in the east of ukraine which resonated most strongly during president vladimir putin speak to russian ambassador is here in moscow he stated that he believed a continuing ceasefire was the only way to secure long term pace for the troubled

region however he adds that the recent cease fire although a start was relatively futile that's because no meaningful dialogue or negotiations began between the two sides he also says that ukrainian president. now takes full responsibility for events in the east of the country. but. unfortunately president pershing co made the decision to resume the military operation we my counterparts in the western media were unable to persuade him that long lasting peace cannot be achieved through war but mr pershing did not have anything to do with the previous armed operations but now he has taken full responsibility for the continuation of this military campaign or the president also went on to add that he believed the ukrainian military were deliberately targeting russian journalists in the east of the country he says that those that try and stop the flow of information are those that commit crimes those that have the most to fear and the

most to lose putin also added that if russia felt that its territory or its citizens were under threat then all options remain on the table these included he said political and economic moves as well as self-defense. are for analysis of what's in store for ukraine now that the ceasefire has passed let's speak to william mallinson a former british diplomat thanks for joining us today sir now russia's president has said poroshenko threw away the only opportunity of achieving peace by ending the cease fire we've been speaking about do you think all is really lost. i think we need to go backwards to understand what is going on what is happening essentially it's a united states and nato and britain. are desperate to bring the european union into a new and worse cold war they are desperate to irritate russia so that if russia

reacts too much from their point of view that will give me the excuse to further beef up the ukrainian army and to bring back the cold war in an even worse sense that that money was twenty thirty years ago. and behind this all lie the basic essential business interests of the large nato powers. countries like france and germany put into an embarrassing position as indeed even by gary has been and they really don't know what to do they make the bland p.r. statements on the outside but behind the scenes they are very worried so all is not lost i think that if russia continues to exercise what i would describe as intelligent restraint. and putin then eventually they will end up embarrassing the so-called west to such an extent the perhaps they will avoid a cold war but at the moment it's not looking that good with blood here and killing

also stated that the house refused to push forward with the peace effort any future blood will be on his hands but the army is of course the only fighting force in the conflict would you agree with putin's words. of course i agree with putin's words but what do you mean about the only standing army in which country. and eastern ukraine that are standing army. in eastern ukraine the army. is not doing all the fighting let us remember that these so-called national guard. which now has a sort of semi official cloak is behind a lot of the more extreme actions. many of these chaps come from. which i'm afraid atavistic you speaking is extremely anti russian. extremely anti orthodox christian it's not nice to mention the realities but these divisions are being recreated mainly by. secret teams from nato. but

putin is right of course. now the leaders of france and germany as you. spoke about just a little while earlier at least by the truce while talking to the ukrainian and russian presidents how do you think they're going to react to it scrapping. how france and germany going to react to what describing of this ceasefire just briefly . to the scrapping of what of this cease fire the scrapping of of the cease fire yes i think there will be privately very upset because they are the two countries who who drive the original european union the franco german axis is crucial it's an axis that britain and america would like to break of course particularly in view of the impending apparent free trade zone between the u.s. and the european union so i think they will react badly to it in private you will

not see any strong statements in favor that's i think. being put in an embarrassing position. william former british diplomatic great to get your views on the subject thanks for speaking to us. thank you for more. has been blocking the exits of the ukrainian parliament following a session there. i mean. i reached over the poor economic state of the country the crowd is the money give out loans only in the local currency. reportedly being fired in the are currently remain trapped in the building after more people join the activists the parliament . it's come to life at the top commander of the american mercenary company blackwater threatened to kill government officials sent

to investigate the firm know the story broken by the new york times shows the instant was recorded in state department documents all the way back to the iraq war what's worse special agents could do nothing about it because of blackwater to power the time even the american embassy in baghdad sided with the mercenaries the instant allegedly took place just weeks before one block water unit killed 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 blackwater is believed to have assisted the cia's drone mission in pakistan the government paid millions of dollars to the contractor in afghanistan and a lot of it to have its own military bases but despite rebranding naming the company has failed to escape its past as marina 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 order official reportedly told the investigator quote 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 blackwater 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 rising 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 operating in. 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. the place you were activists you say believes the firm managed to become the government's monster 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 u.s. 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 end of the level of the contractors are really on a par with those in the state department other agencies as opposed to being viewed

as actual contractors abortion and sort those who are subject to the authority of a government entity. we're going to head to a short break now but after that report by the expectations that western oil companies have with the conflict in iraq. this is the media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motions your. party is a bill. that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politics

only. speak your language does anyone have the will or not at the end. will use programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn into bangalore stories. so you hear. the spanish find out more visit. welcome back the un has named june the deadliest month for iraq this year what twenty four hundred people killed there in the past thirty days alone all about because of a sweeping offensive by radicals who declared on islam a caliphate in the northeast of the country and are moving towards the capital the

bloodshed is fracturing iraqi society with the kurd minority reportedly planning to hold an independence referendum in the coming months kurdish authorities are already demanding more political powers from the central government but as our boy reports some western energy companies are ready to cash in on the divisions on thailand's. with iraq on the brink of all out civil war for oil giants 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 kirkuk 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 for my b.p. boss tony hayward the company recently started pumping oil from its brand new k r i 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 headquartered here in london working in kurdistan is beneficial they get access to oil reserves in the north of iraqi 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. by. national or the british company.

could be. that process analysts say that iraq's crumbling all authority could be beneficial for smaller british oil companies which don't get a look in on oil fields run by corporate giants in southern iraq too small to really. four major oil fields in iraq so what about a bet if. they are getting away with it but they will never. will never be. they. can now energy isn't the only british oil pouring to kurdistan gulf keystone several sites in kurdish north iraq this is now in production with that oil and canals pipeline that runs directly from the region these small british players could be in store from massive profits while the baghdad likes it or not.

an independent kurdistan is something there is really prime minister has already voiced his support to wards binyamin netanyahu believes the kurds have proven their political commitment and moderation and should be granted independence the director of the institute of gul for first made sees the emergence of an autonomy as kurdistan is in the interest of western powers they want to see a kurdish state separate from iraq and that's very clearly. and very clear in the action and the way that the united states government for example dealt with the kurdish takeover of cold coke the favoritism to kurdistan that could distant actually has been getting way more than its share in terms of iraq 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 kurds take over the oil of course because needs that oil to be

a functioning state that's one one of the last part of what. wants. also lots more news and views online waiting for you including. instead of the usual ardor barbecues and fireworks two time u.s. presidential candidate ron paul has invited his fellow citizens to celebrate the fourth of july in a slightly different manner by opposing the government which you consider to be ironical read more about why paul suggests this course of action on our website also. lease eight three to see it may sound like and you vacuum cleaner but it's actually what scientists have named a plummets which in their opinion is the most earth like yet to find out about this super earth and how it might be able to support life had to r.t. . japan's ruling parties have agreed to

lift a self-imposed ban on overseas military operations for the first time since the second world war this decision to change the constitution provoked a wave of protests the following footage contains graphic scenes one man even went so far as to set himself on fire he's printed in hospital while living outside the prime minister's office in tokyo gathered around ten thousand people and even led to police the protesters criticize the government for failing to hold a referendum on the issues. the change may affect the balance of power in the region japan could not help but fighting overseas at the same time the u.s. is the pulling more troops to be your area washington has eighty thousand plus military personnel had more than forty bases across the asia pacific while some experts don't see the new changes particularly serious others warn it could have

grave consequences in case of a future conflict. whether because if. you're just there can both agree with you because if you're impact it is more it would be united states in the united states. they're worried. and they want their characters bigger all this move by the japanese prime minister to essentially change the constitution by theo we have two very powerful countries china japan japan is as a military alliance with the united states so if the us any kind of dust treaty japan and china then we're talking back to nuclear powers butting heads and i'm a little surprised that people are not maybe more concerned about this situation than they and they are. in a few minutes time it's over the washington d.c. for boom bust and
