passing the point of no return reef notion r.t. in eastern ukraine. and to help you keep from what's happening in eastern ukraine you can follow maria's twitter feed she's in the city of new ganske right now one of the main hubs of antigovernment resistance. for the ongoing fighting and dying humanitarian situation the driving thousands in the ukraine from their homes the u.n. says around one hundred ten thousand refugees have fled to russia but the u.s. state department has another version of the situation in this situation u.n. h.d.r.'s estimate of the number of people moving across the ukrainian border comes directly from russian government source is who suffice to say have not always been entirely accurate here and just a couple of points on this because i know there's been some questions u.n.h.c.r. statement did not say that one hundred ten thousand refugees fled ukraine into
3:07 am
russia what it said is that number of people had crossed the border at some point that could be to go visit their grandmother and come back. to russia in regions bordering ukraine have declared a state of emergency as they deal with an influx of refugees from ukraine officials say they have to accommodate thousands every day the russian migration service puts the total number of people who fled the violence in ukraine four hundred thousand. in other news israel has bombarded garza with dozens of air strikes in retaliation against the islamic group hamas which it believes to be behind the killing of three jewish teenagers this is footage of the funeral of a young says that were abducted more than two weeks ago when found dead early this week in the west bank their deaths also grabbed all the headlines. sense of anger in that sense that there will be some retaliation for these threats it's becoming
3:08 am
increasingly apparent that his promise to make our must pay for the three teenagers found dead on monday so there is a huge amount of grief discovering the grim discovery of the three bodies of those israeli teenagers late yesterday israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the three teenagers were murdered in cold blood by what he described as animals. meanwhile in his letter of condolence president obama described the killing of the jewish boys as a sense of an act of terror against innocent youth meanwhile the killing of a palestinian teen abducted and slaughtered overnight in east jerusalem and a suspected revenge attack has gone largely unnoticed as well as the killing of an eighteen year old palestinian by israeli troops in the west bank while many more civilian deaths are blamed on the israeli defense forces in occupied territory so let's have a look at the numbers here more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have been killed and up to six thousand injured by israeli forces since two thousand and that
3:09 am
means that one palestinian child has been killed every three days activist mr barghouti says the international media has repeatedly hushed israel's deadly record . the israeli army has been killing palestinians for several years we are talking about thousands and thousands of palestinians would kill the by the israeli army and tens of thousands of people who would enjoy doing forty seven years of military rule completion even when we want to guys peaceful nonviolent protests there is a very odd immune response by shooting the high velocity gun shots at young people which by the way we live in that incident and the israeli army if used to conduct. the investigation into the matter still to come in the program of american exceptionalism but the leader of militant group isis from around the world to come to the need to keep that islamic caliphate why the conflict in the country might be

3:12 am
statement they say they are fighting to remain human instead of forgotten shadows let's get more details on this from artesian marine corps sort of a he joins us live in a few da. like one town america the greek inmates have been on hunger strike haven't they to make their point. what more can you tell us about that absolutely it all started on the eighteenth of june and then every day after that more and more prisoners across the country joined in the hunger strike in total there were around four and a half thousand prisoners across the country who were starving themselves on the couldn't take it any longer which is why they stopped or less about they will continue fighting for what they believe in other ways what are they fighting for they are against this bill which is an inversion a tightening in every structure of the country screen or hold and also the creation of type c. maximum prison facilities across the country and also some prisons right now will be added where they're weighing that is type c. they claim that this will be a lie guantanamo bay also they say that in general they want to see rights to
3:13 am
conjugal visits that want to retry of those in prisons for drug offenses because the law changed but the penal code hasn't caught up with it they also want to see the release of migrants face in deport deportation so in general they're saying that the condition in prison is already rough plus they don't want to see the creation of a new one which potentially could be worse so what's been the government's response to those arguments presumably believes that these things should go ahead yes and also we know that the country's main opposition party tried to reason with m.p.'s considering this bill and they asked them to hold on. until they can get a chance to visit some of the prison facilities but that request was denied and again we know that so when it comes to presence across the country they're severely underfunded and also they don't have enough staff we actually managed to speak to one of the prisoners that has faces covered in the voice was altered because when he asked us to protect his identity so let's listen to what he had to say about what life is like in these prisons we say no to the green guantanamo namely to
3:14 am
a prison inside a prison without any rights without any future prisoners who have completed one fifth of their sentences should be allowed to visit their families we live in filthy conditions made mice and cockroaches there are no doctors here for every illness they just give us aspirants they're prisoners here who have no money so nobody gives them anything to eat we find cockroaches in our food the prison food is disgusting it's better to eat nothing than to eat this food five prisoners live in a cell designed for two we haven't eaten for the past ten days and the doctor has given us nothing they tell us common eat some sugar i'm in a desperate situation i've already lost ten kilos and i can't even walk. now the main problem is the fact that persons don't have money and i was there and drew this may and even though the government is saying that the situation is improving in the country when you talk to people they believe that nothing has changed and
3:15 am
they don't see their lives improve in at all there are marches and protests in athens every single day on various issues on various issues but in particular the hunger strike because that also seems to have public support yes thousands in fact marched on the twenty eighth of june and also dozens were detained and that was on the twenty fourth of june when they were carrying on a protest close to the prime minister's home in an affluent community and there was international support as well there was a banner that was placed in the central square of marseille in france and also leaflets were given out in london in support of the strike in greece so they are getting international momentum as well and you mentioned. particularly surprise some people but that's affecting the prison budget exactly when all the statistics that were released for example two thousand and nine the prisons received one hundred thirty six million euros that figure was the one hundred eleven million euros in two thousand and thirteen which still sounds like
3:16 am
a lot of money right but if we were to compare it to the netherlands which has a similar number of prisoners while their budget was a billion euros in two thousand and twelve for example so i just goes to show it when it comes to ratios of four inmates to prison guards we're talking about in some cases five hundred to one prison guards were actually also on strike but only and that the u.s. that day so it just shows you the kind of conditions that are not only prisoners are complaining but prison guards as well yeah i mean it's an issue isn't it is not just the story that has you just been talking to so with in greece people round europe are remarking about this and also european organizations of greece yes we've heard numerous times the council of europe also in two thousand and eleven i believe also released. to sticks and it said that it was over capacity out. one point there was at one hundred fifty one percent over its maximum limits also were heard from the european committee for the prevention of torture and inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment and they actually slammed greece in two thousand
3:17 am
and eleven they said for a steady deterioration in the living conditions and treatment of prisoners over decades so this is something that has been a problem as they said as the european institutions have said for decades nothing is strange and the government has said that now in order to release the crowding in prisons to relieve that problem there will. be tagging all the ones that they need to figure out what they will do of course with this controversial bill that we're talking about that will be discussed further tomorrow it will be interesting to see what. will leave it there thank you. the leader of the militant group isis is the muslims worldwide to travel to iraq and syria and join their battle for the recently declared islamic caliphate in an audi a message to lead the fight for their breakaway state investigative journalist mark karr says it's unlikely iraq can remain a single country as a result of the chaos. i say this is not just creation of the syrian crisis has
3:18 am
its origins in iraq itself in the jihad its resistance to the u.s. occupation when they would you have troops in iraq after the so-called surge there was a view. of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized that probably never really happened and isis has been an hour to iraq not just because it was out in syria but also by the incompetence or terrorism and corruption of the amole government in iraq so all these different forces of crevasses regime which is very probable that some iraq could fragment into three stages because i can't see the moment the time being any kind of and sectarian movement that could overcome the division but to really get up to shreds. the jihadist group is now seize control of the key syrian border town of. laughter pouring in reinforcements from iraq it comes shortly after the white house approved a half a billion dollar windfall for rebels in syria the move was aimed to counter the
3:19 am
radical islamist group which is also fighting a sad and terrorizing cities in neighboring iraq but the plan was met with a storm of condemnation saying the aid to rebels would mean feeding america's enemy artie's marina porter takes a look now at washington's long involvement in the region. all over the arab world america has left behind its military footprint but i believe america is exceptional . in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interest but for the interests of all america's exceptional armed forces have invaded afghanistan and iraq dropped bombs on libya pakistan and yemen and reportedly trained rebels fighting to overthrow the government in syria. directly leading to the insurgency in iraq who are extremists have now declared their own caliphate done enough to just say that we are exceptional one way or the
3:20 am
other the reason we can point to american exceptionalism is because we've done exceptional things and we do exceptional over. we have to live up to that standard but time and time again washington's eagerness to involve itself in foreign conflicts has fueled secretary in divisions creating an exceptionally dangerous circumstance the us unfortunately. has destroyed and made a mockery of the you know what they have done in libya what they have done and continue to do it was done in iraq. it is all something that. doesn't jive with claiming any kind of exceptionalism and yet in each case washington has washed its hands of any responsibility the united states of america is not responsible for what happened in libya nor is it responsible for what is
3:21 am
happening in iraq today in the absence of u.s. military action iraq is warning that it could ask iran to carry out airstrikes against the hardest group isis that could throw a wrench into the works of american foreign policy potentially having to rely on an adversary to defeat a threat that washington itself is blamed for indirectly creating. r.t. . we've got plenty more for you on our web site including teenage game is in china will probably be turning off the console was why well after having to do push ups in a real life call it seems in camp you can learn about the country's new way to kewl internet addiction at our web site also there the chilling moment a petrol station in the u.s. state of wisconsin takes a direct hit from a tornado it is dramatic footage you can watch it at r.t. don't call. your friends post

3:26 am
pay more this logic may have driven several european car manufacturers to set up factories in hungary with an obviously cheaper labor force than in germany but the one that is just as skilled back in the days when hungary was part of the socialist market used to be one of the biggest car manufacturers in eastern europe when the country entered the european union most of its factories went bankrupt as their predecessor was not needed in europe almost a decade on europeans have decided to experience and are now producing their cars here. largely because of that and we're talking several hundred thousand units produced annually hungary is now experiencing the biggest industrial growth in a decade but would that mean the two thousand and four edu accession promise of a better living has been capped a recent poll study suggested that seventy two percent of whom variance felt that economically they were doing better on their communism. seventy two and thank god i have a good job because without it i wouldn't have survived with my pension unlike twenty
