a government in kiev or the oligarchy order right sector leadership 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 cease fire that failed to hold it was announced ten days ago in an attempt to restore peace in the east at the self-proclaimed republics met for the first time and agreed to a seven day truce on wednesday the legal permission for the use of russian military force in ukraine was tenfold at president bush's request and 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 ukrainian military to work together on the russian ukrainian border. by ordering a new offensive ukraine recently elected leader has a willingly and fully accepted responsibility for the bloodshed in the east so said

3:12 pm
that we expect. the continuation of the traditionally very good relationship and federation of the neighbors. we can watch the whole interview with the european commissioner for knowledge man and neighborhood policy on thursday here on r.t. international. has come to light that the top command of the american mercenary company blackwater threatened to kill government officials sent to investigate the sort of know what's worse a special agents could do nothing about it because of blackwater's power during the iraq war even the american embassy in baghdad sided with the most no reason that is it allegedly took place just weeks before one blackwater unit killed seventeen civilians in the rocky 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 out millions of dollars to the contractor in afghanistan and allowed it to have its own military bases but as a spy to rebranding and renaming but company has failed to escape its path as worried about an 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 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
3:14 pm
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 blackwater 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 embassy's 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 actively attempting to imprison for refusing to reveal his sources you see this is the type of story the white house
3:15 pm
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 this read they intimidated a u.s. state department agents tried to stay out of sight in iraq refusing even to eat dinner in public the mysteries are reported behaved as if they were above the law and ran the place from a u.s. state department official peter van buren 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
3:16 pm
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. of her so break we bring you a report about the expectations that western oil companies have a with the conflict in iraq. they all told me my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. the pollution and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to save the exists or k.l. a car is on the docket no god. no more weasel words

thanks for staying with us for more news the u.n. has named the deadliest month for iraq of this year with twenty four hundred people killed in the past thirty days alone although because of the sweeping offensive by radicals who have to cleanse and slum a caliphate in the north east of the country and are moving towards the capital the bloodshed is factory your rock is this idea with a kurd one or two reportedly planning to hold an independence referendum in the coming months kurdish authorities already demanding more political policies from the central government but as argues polly boyko reports some western energy companies are ready to cash in on the divisions and violence. with 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
3:19 pm
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 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 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 insists that they have the moral 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
3:20 pm
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 by stealing. national oil. companies who are operating in one way or i'm a lot of 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 they are too small to be considered for a major oil field and iraq so what about a bet if they are getting around. to getting away with. it will never be very. good now energy isn't the only british oil for operating kurdistan gulf keystone owns several sites in kurdish
3:21 pm
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 while the baghdad likes it or not fully boyko r t london and independent kurdistan is something the israeli prime minister has already voiced his support towards now but i'm announcing i would believe the kurds have proven their political commitment and moderation and should be granted independence the director of the institute of. met says the emergence of an autonomy as could a stand is in the interests of western powers. they want to see a kurdish state separate from iraq and that's very clearly. and very clear in their reaction and the way that the united states government for example dealt with the kurdish takeover of coke and we see favoritism to kurdistan
3:22 pm
that could just and actually has been getting way more than its share in terms of it are crucial issues and power structure yet nobody's talking about the kurdish role 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 krista needs that oil to be a functioning state that's one one of the last part of what kurdistan wants. are those more news and views online waiting for you including several of the usual outdoor barbecue and fire words to 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 he considers to be higher nickel read about why polls are just the cause of action on our website also while you have a. glass aide to three to see it might sound like
