a client she was looking at me with her eyes wide open it turned out i had forgotten to take my place off it happens. she sees no contradiction in her current status. this is what happens during wartime they don't even ask they just come to your land i was just an ordinary woman i even cook quite well. catarina and a lesser a far from the only two in these women from ukraine's east and south have a strongly warded message for female fighters on the other side educated that it is a little special hello to that thirty ninth my down women's battalion girls you either stop doing this or you'll see still exist if you continue to seek information about our men your men will die. the paramilitary battalion the addressing finds for the new government and for national unity and it's still growing on the my down the today the my down has reached far beyond cave sense and

5:06 am
but the real conflict is being felt here and was growing numbers joining both sides every day some fear it's passing the point of no return. in eastern ukraine. and to help you keep track of what is happening in eastern ukraine you can follow maria's twitter feed she is in the city of the ganske right now one of the main hubs of anti-government resistance. the ongoing fighting and dying humanitarian situation the driving factor is an issue crane from their homes for guns has become another city in the region left without water and electricity 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
5:07 am
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 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. the russian regions bordering ukraine have declared a state of emergency as they deal with an influx of refugees from ukraine fishel 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 and. clashes have erupted in jerusalem with crowds demanding justice over the killing of a seventeen year old palestinian teenager suspected to have been kidnapped and killed in revenge for the deaths of three jewish boys the youngsters were abducted more than two weeks ago and found dead early this week in the west bank with israel blaming the palestinian group hamas for the killings the deaths have caused wide
5:08 am
outcry in the international media so in that sense that there will be some retaliation for these threats is becoming increasingly apparent as promised to make our must pay for the murder of 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. so a lot of coverage and in his letter of condolence president obama here has described his feelings about the killing of the jewish boys as an indescribable pain in the meantime he's silent about the pain hundreds of palestinian families are experiencing over their children's deaths which go largely unnoticed by the media well those deaths are just a fraction of those who've lost their lives as these figures over here will show
5:09 am
you more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have been killed in up to six thousand injured by israeli forces since two thousand and that means one palestinian child has been killed every three days activists mustafa go after he says the international media has repeatedly hushed israel's deadly record. to me has been killing palestinians for. we are talking about thousands and thousands of palestinians would go by the. tens of thousand people who were given forty seven years old when you thought you could even want to go peaceful nonviolent this is the very bottom you just call me by so if you can hide with the few guns young people which by the way we live in that incident and the israeli army and if used to conduct. the investigation into the matter so to come in a program an echo of american exceptionalism the leader of militant group isis is

critics is fascist will go to parliament on thursday inmates have held a two week long hunger strike trying to draw the public's attention to their plight here's an extract from their emotional statement they say they are fighting to remain human instead of forgotten shadows earlier i discussed the situation in greek prisons with artie's marine a core set of a who's just returned from athens. 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 hours of prisoners across the country who were starving themselves and take it any longer which is why they stopped and i said that i will continue fighting for what they believe in and otherwise what are they fighting for they are against this bill which envisions a tightening of restructure of the country's penal code and also the creation of type c. cs across the country they claim that this will be like montana mowbray so in general they're saying that the condition in prison is already wrong plus they
5:13 am
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 presumably believes that these things should go ahead yes and also we know that the country's main opposition party cities that tried to reason with and peace consider in this bill and they asked them to hold off on that so on so they can get a chance to visit some of these prison facilities but that request was denied we actually managed to speak to one of the prisoners his face is covered in the voice was altered because i wanted to he asked us to protect his identity so let's listen to what he had to say about what life was like in these prisons you know to the green. prison inside a prison without any rights without any future prisoners who have completed one of their sentences should be allowed to visit their family we're conditioned my see. there are no doctors here. they just give us ask their prisoners here we have no money so nobody gives them anything we find cockroaches in the prison food is

disgusting it's better to eat nothing then. five prisoners live in a similar design now the same problem as the persons don't have money and i was there and then even though the government is saying the situation is improving in the country when you talk to people they believe that nothing is changing they don't see their lives improving at all there are marches and protests in athens every single day on various. the jihadist militant group isis is now seize control of the key border town in syria of laughter pouring in reinforcements from iraq at the same time this video has emerged online apparently showing radicals parading tanks and military hardware in the eastern syrian province of rock may come shortly after the white house approved a half a billion dollar windfall for rebels in syria well the plan was met with a storm of condemnation saying the aid to the rebels would mean fading america's enemy investigative journalist matt carr says it's unlikely iraq can remain
5:15 am
a single country as a result of the chaos. isis is not just relation of syria isis has its origins in iraq itself in the jihad its resistance to the u.s. occupation when they withdrew troops in iraq after the so-called surge there was a view. of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized but probably never really happened and isis has been out in iraq not just because of what in syria but also by incompetence or terrorism and corruption at the amole government in iraq so all these different forces are close to each race you know which is very probable that some iraq could fragment into three. because i can't see the moment of the time being any kind of six area movement that could overcome the division but really get up to shreds. on the leader of the jihadist militant group isis is the muslims worldwide to travel to iraq and syria and join their battle for the

recently declared islamic caliphate and in already a messy to lead the fight for their breakaway state parties when important i takes a look 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 not enough to just say that we are exceptional one way or the other the reason we can point to american exceptionalism is because we've done
5:17 am
exceptional things and we do exceptional for. 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 main you know what they have done in libya what they have done through here and continue to do it was done in iraq. it is all fun thing 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 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. marina port knocking out our team. and a bit later on today cross talk panel to discuss the impact of american neoconservative politics on the world and in particular the middle east here's a quick preview. the neoconservatives have also been very successful in controlling the narratives of washington they succeed so for instance you have the catastrophe in iraq in the last decade but then the neoconservative narrative is that well yes the after great invasion very successful invasion there was a problem with the implementation of the occupation but then came the surge then
5:19 am
came near a victory for instance the catastrophe in syria is now being blamed even though the u.s. side is supporting with working with the saudis and others helped create this problem in syria where these extremist became very powerful as rebel forces some of the isis group and those are a front the the narrative is that if obama had only sent in more military support for the rebels earlier then it would have worked out fine. that's crosstalk a bit late tonight teenage game is in china will probably be turning off selves while why because they have to be push ups in a real life cool sheets and can you can learn about the country's new way to kewl internet addiction at our website and also that chilling moment a petrol station in the u.s. state of wisconsin takes a direct hit from the tornado that is dramatic footage and you can watch it online
