human instead of forgotten shadows earlier my colleague andrew farmer discussed the situation with artie's marina kosar a boat was just back 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 thousand prisoners across the country who were starving themselves and they couldn't 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. crystal it seems across the country and 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 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 syriza tried to reason with
7:12 am
and please consider in this bill and they asked them to hold off on it until 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 see you know to the green. 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 family we live conditions my sitcom. there are no doctors here every illness they just give us ask there are prisoners here who have no money so nobody gives them anything to eat 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 fact that prisons 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. proven at all their marxism probably in athens every single day on various sessions she had as militant group isis now is seize control of the key border town in syria of all who come after pouring in reinforcements from iraq meanwhile this video emerged online apparently showing radicals parading tanks and military hardware in eastern syrian province of rock this shortly after the white house approved a half a billion dollar windfall for rebels in syria the plan met with a storm of condemnation saying the aid to the rebels would mean supporting america's enemy investigative journalist matt carr says it is unlikely iraq can remain a single country because of the chaos. i mean it is not just the nation of the syria isis has its origins in iraq itself in the resistance to the u.s. occupation when they would you have troops in iraq so cool so that was
7:14 am
a view. of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized that probably never really happened and isis has been in not just because it was out in syria but also by the incompetence or terrorism and corruption. in iraq so all these different voices are going to see to asia which is very probable that iraq could fragment into three state. the moment of the time being any i'm to i'm six areas that could overcome the division reading or up to shreds. leader of jihad as a militant group isis urges muslims worldwide to go to iraq and syria and join their battle for the recently declared islamic caliphate an audio message she vowed to lead the fight quote until rome is conquered this image went viral and social media allegedly revealing and mischa's plans of isis tour a drop pretty much the world map within five years as well as the middle east north africa and large areas of asia it's also bearing isis ambition to extend into

europe president obama pledging additional troops be deployed in the area to ease the desperate battle with militants are he's a marine important i takes a look at washington's 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 where extremists have now declared their own caliphate down 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 exceptional things and we do exceptional for it. we have to live up to that
7:16 am
standard but time and time again washington's eagerness to involve itself in foreign conflicts has fueled sic tarion divisions creating an exceptionally dangerous circumstance the u.s. diplomacy unfortunately. has destroyed and made a mockery of the made you know what they have done in libya what they have done through you and continue to do it was done in iraq. and. it is all in something that. doesn't jive. except for the living 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 in iraq is warning that it could ask iran to carry out airstrikes
