ukraine's military resumes its operations in the east to with attacks on several cities after the president of poroshenko refuses to extend a cease fire. that despite an intense diplomatic effort. that is ukraine in full responsibility for any bloodshed after scraping the troops . the western oil industry. and on the instability in iraq as the u.n. reveals the advance of islamist terrorism the bloodiest month in the country. also in iraq a new report reveals blackwater mercenaries are threatening to kill u.s.

officials sent to investigate the pope was eventually suppressed the details. in a national news analysis all right here on r.t. international well live from moscow this evening you're with me. the ukrainian army has resumed a four scale military crackdown on the eastern provinces attacking several cities a temporary ceasefire ended overnight with care free fusing two extended this is a result of the attacks that began a right after the end of the truce at a school in the eastern ukrainian city of qom up ask a hole punched through its wall by a mortar round the residential areas of the city it endured as several hours of shelling overnight the journalists that filmed to that footage patrick lancaster got caught in the shelling himself he sent us this video.

comes in to. talk. to. you sir you heard around four dozen explosions and eventually had to take shelter in the basement. of. the. president of petro poroshenko says there will be no further truce accusing the self-proclaimed republics of failing to abide by it. but we will apologize and liberate our. cranes armed forces the national guard in iraq and the

visions will never use force against civilians we will never target residential areas scrupulously the military operation resumed almost instantly after that statement. locals in the city of climate also say they walk up to the sound of an air raid siren videos have emerged showing the aftermath of the shelling and as you can see residential houses and shops have once again suffered heavy damage. and here's a footage we've received from the region as you can see pews of black smoke reportedly the consequences of other fighting and that resumed overnight of the smoke coming out from a spot where a great patriotic war memorial is located. describe the situation in the area. the large scale military operation the king of calls anti terror operation is now

officially resumed in eastern ukraine the most dramatic picture we see in the town of kut i'm a tourist in donetsk region it used to be one of the two major it was centuries of operation and we spoke to a foreign journalist currently on the ground and this is how he describes the situation there right now. jet. blue we are five. year. old slim down screaming another target can't tell you the 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 left in resulted in fatalities including in one civilian population and now again we start receiving

alarming massive just from these town as well there are the what you will say this though on the scene when you were there all of which food. was for me was for the issue of money yes for service of yes there was the issue. of. the broken ribs you know the but the needs of the bomoh it would be a bomb you see mr luzhin. i'm now in the city of lugansk and from what she can see and hear you may think that it is calm here but overnight and early in the morning we heard a teary and these were the songs that work people are up to die they're very exhausted very 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 are fading away and. ukraine's president says peace is still possible for the government forces agreed to the plan he outlined earlier but foreign affairs analysts an avoider mollett says there are few reasons to believe poroshenko. his proposal was not a peace plan it was essentially a demand for unconditional surrender offering zero guarantees to the people fighting for their self-determination that they would have any of their legitimate demands met by the government in kiev there is absolutely no chance for the rebels to take the so-called peace plan into vitamins let alone consideration somebody is obviously lying if president poroshenko making a statement that is obviously not true on its face i think it's hard to use who is lying if we have documented instances of ukrainian troops troops loyal to either a government in kiev or the always guards or the right sector leaders they're all

on the same side if we have documented instances of them bombing civilians and murdering innocents then i don't see why we should take president poroshenko at his word. let's look back at the ceasefire that failed to hold it was announced ten days ago in an attempt to restore peace in the east now this was the first time the soft proclaimed republics met with the kiev agreed to a seven day truce after that on wednesday the legal permission for the use of russia's military force in ukraine was canceled and president putin is request then two days later the truce was extended for seventy two hours with anti government forces promising to abide by it and on monday moscow invited international monitors and the craney and now military to work together on the russian ukraine border. to russian journalists have come under fire near lugansk in eastern ukraine a shell exploded near a reporter on a cameraman working for rent t.v. the reporter spoke to us shortly after worth.

after we filmed an interview there was a sudden explosion i don't know where it came from we were thrown to the side like dogs may become a man and the horse of defense fighters that were with us there was howling in my ears i've never heard anything like it quickly given first aid and sent to the hospital. becomes 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 medics two bullets hit him in the stomach which proved fatal the bullet tore through the man's body which is characteristic of an assault rifle round hitting an unprotected target a commemoration ceremony for the men will be held in moscow tomorrow on wednesday. as is the beginning of the conflict five journalists have been killed and several

wounded including one from our teams roughly service and correspondents from various other russian news channels have been apprehended interrogated and even beaten while working there and now ukrainian t.v. station says one of its crews has been detained in lugansk by self defense fighters . about during a new offensive ukraine's a recently elected leader has a willingly and fully accepted responsible responsibility for the bloodshed in the east now this was according to you while speaking to top russian diplomats he added that despite the efforts by both him and his european counterparts they were unable to influence kids of arches pulse got reports. 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 ceasefire 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. 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 while 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 put and 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. or the full video of president bush's speech as well as talking points and discussion head over to r.t. dot com where you'll also find a much more background. and that's why from being calm and peaceful even in the capital kiev an angry mob has been blocking the exits of the ukrainian parliament shots where we put the fire into the air as the crowd vented its anger over the poor economic state of the country and their key demand was that banks convert all loans to the local currency. well you can see here how the value of the group now has a plummeted against the dollar the coup followed by political instability and now the vicious fighting in the east of the country has all contributed to the

country's of falling currency but now president poroshenko has lent a trade pact with the e.u. there are fears of financial troubles may have worsened in the short term the new agreement paves the way for tough austerity and experts warn it could potentially turn the country into an economic clone of greece political writer john white agrees the pad to will do more harm than good. this is going to be the only disaster this is ideologically driven it's not driven in the interest of the people of ukraine it's ideologically driven and i think it will spell economic chaos for the people of ukraine it's not going to get any better we need to move out of recession and show and it seems very very hard to believe that we want to assure you creative economy. now it's come to light that the top commander of the american mercenary company blackwater threatened to kill government officials sent to investigate the firm was

a special agents could do nothing about it because of blackwater's power during the iraq war if the american embassy in baghdad a sided with the mercenaries the incident allegedly took place just weeks before one blackwater 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 mission the drone mission in pakistan government paid out millions of dollars to the contractor in afghanistan and allowed it to have its own military base but despite its rebranding and renaming the company has failed to escape its past as marina but my experience. 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 warning 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 block 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 rising a man who the obama administration has been actively 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. a story that shows just how much power blackwater wielded in iraq and the culture of impunity it operated in marina port r.t. new york. after the threats they intimidated us and the state department agents

tried to stay out of sight in iraq refusing even to eat dinner in public the most neris they reported behaved as if they were above the law and run the place on the us state department official peter byrne told us everyone knew blackwater was out of control the state department was so afraid of its mission in iraq being slowed down or delayed by replacing blackwater as a contractor that they were willing to accept almost any standards of behavior out of the company in order to continue the contract even though they understood it was detrimental to us aims blackwater was an organization out of control in iraq and we now have absolute proof that the state department who was supposed to control them knew that they were out of control knew that they were dangerous people knew that they were acting contrary to u.s. policy aims and did nothing. after show break we'll bring you a report about the expectations that was the oil companies have with

a conflict in iraq back. the interview. was your language. holding the killer though in. some of.

the consensus here. to the opinions that immigrate to. choose the stories that impact the. child's access to. bizarre to you with more international news the un has named june the deadliest month for iraq this year with twenty four hundred people killed in the past thirty days alone now all that because of a sweeping offensive by radicals who have declared an islamic caliphate in the north east of the country at a moving towards the capital the bloodshed is fracturing iraqi society with the kurd minority are reportedly planning to hold an independent referendum in the coming months kurdish authorities already demanding more political powers from the

central government but as archie's poly border reports some western energy companies are ready to cash in on the divisions and violence. in iraq on the brink of all out civil war 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 former b.p. boss tony hayward the company recently started pumping oil from its brand new 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 working in

kurdistan is mutually 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 region that's desperate to break away from the rest of iraq where jihadist groups are running riot iraqi kurdistan insist that they have the more. and constitutional right to export their own oil with canal 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 oil. companies who are operating in one way or 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 consider the. oil fields in iraq so what about a bet even getting around. to getting away with never. never. can now energy isn't the only british oil for operating in kurdistan gulf keystone owns several sites in kurdish north iraq the city now in production with their oil and canals pipeline that runs directly from the region these small british players could be in store for massive profits by the baghdad likes it or not fully boyko r.t. london. an independent kurdistan is something the israeli prime minister has already voices of course towards now benjamin netanyahu believes that the kurds

have proven their political commitment and moderation and should be granted independence the director of the institute of gulf affairs met says the emergence of an autonomous kurdistan is in the interests of western powers. they want to see a kurdish state separate from iraq and that's very clearly in very clear in the reaction and the way that the united states government for example dealt with the kurdish takeover of cold coke we see favoritism to kurdistan that could just and 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 coke and because kurdistan needs that oil to be

a functioning state that's one one of the last part of what kurdistan wants. protesters in london could soon find themselves marked by an ultra violet dial which is a nobody used to track weaves and burglars police commissioners are pushing for the use of the dye in water cannons three of these controversial crowd control weapons have just been bought by the mayor of london they use is yet to be approved by the secretary but a debate has been raging over the harm they could cause to those hit by a powerful jets mayor boris johnson even said he's prepared to be shot by one to show their safety and rights campaigners including terry and mendoza insist there is widespread evidence of the dangers holmes. this will be the first time these weapons have been deployed in britain on the mainland in our entire history and it's a very dangerous step. the increasing militarization of the u.k.

police force the silence from the mainstream media on this issue is is pretty much damning but nothing less you know than we would expect at the moment we're having a lot of trouble in the u.k. with these really egregious regressive rules they're clamping down on i will rights to freedom of expression and freedom to protest peacefully against this ideological which is impoverishing the nation. japan's ruling parties have agreed to lift the 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 and the following which is contains a graphic scenes we're about to show you one outraged man even went so far as to set himself on fire he's currently in hospital well the latest really also at the prime minister's office in tokyo gathered around ten thousand people and even lead to two clashes with police the protesters criticize the government for failing to

hold a referendum on the issue. the change may affect the balance of power in the region as japan could now help its allies fighting overseas all the same time the u.s. is dewpoint more troops to the area washington now has about eighty thousand plus military personnel at more than forty bases across at the age of pacific region also max prison don't see the new changes particularly serious others one it could have grave consequences in case of a future conflict it. could bring. on further prosperous country if you are in power more united states you know. they're worried. they want their characters play a bigger role this move by the japanese prime minister to essentially change the

constitution by c.e.o. we have two very powerful countries china japan and japan has a military alliance with the united states so just circe any kind of dust up between 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 are they have to. two thirds majority from both houses and then it will become a referendum for the people what he has done has circumvented all of that and declared that his resolution can't just reinterpret the constitution and that's a very dangerous power even if you agree with what he's doing the process by which he's doing it was completely you will. have next it's a breaking the set with. as

a new physician i swear to abide by the hippocratic oath. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise others to do so. i will never do harm to any where. doctors of the doc's onto. this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something if simple as people playing soccer games you can see individual players and if you see the

ball. i can almost see his facial expression you can see is a mouth open and crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe even asked. for forgiveness for a house. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured. that was ago and i'm abby martin and this is rick in the set so as you know this

country is struggling mass water shutoffs in detroit homes are being foreclosed upon and our infrastructure is collapsing of course the reason we're not fixing these problems is because we don't have enough money right oddly enough it looks like we just found half a billion dollars in the oval office couch so the obama administration just asked congress to authorize a whopping five hundred million dollars to further train and equip the so-called moderate members of the syrian opposition and considering how strong support from across the aisle looks like he's going to get his way because there's anything both republicans and democrats going to agree on its funding disasters foreign policy interventions my right don't worry obama's insisted that these groups were properly vetted before handing them over weapons in a country to total state of chaos what could possibly go wrong especially since the arms could very well end up in the hands of the same terrorist group this government is looking to bomb in iraq but hey it's not like the five thousand detroit ers who had their water shut off.
