series you know we have to run now that i need to go to about ok can you hear that's from. our daughter we're not perfect either. they say that. they're not subject as forces base is nearby don't you agree or kilometers away here here. on our way back we still buy local hospital a day before the local power station was heat in another shelling since then there has been new running water and no electricity and it's actually. sitting opposite a litter of children but me to someone with whom you've. just enough to. see what you need in your ear which we find alexander's father him and the injured he says he sees no point in leaving now that his wife's gone from her all. the slum of the moment i don't know but i want you in the know you got to go.

it's getting dark and doctors tell us we'd better hurry up we come back to look guns. is the last bridge before the city and there was sign of it out of the minds here is that true. why is that. the enemy cannot get through the bridge and it was a checkpoint. just this out front was generals going with our driver told us that this is the last checkpoint all started with the shock of the launch. somebody happened and they say they are surprised why we're going to do is target noble zings and the check on the nearest checkpoint these times along the way it seems that no one has an answer for this question. in eastern ukraine. the shell shocked locals have begun to bury their dead including

a five year old boy and his father dozens of people gathered to say their goodbyes and what was left to the village square where we met the woman who had to watch as her son and husband were buried together. we've devoted to the family believed beautifully. you need to do what you want to prove that you value them if. you boys you keep your love with you but boy does the. same job destruction and tragedy have been repeated across the crane throughout the week this is what's left of the school income a tourist after shelling on tuesday local media say at least six people died or more were injured in the attack on the city and in the same onslaught a minibus was apparently hit though it's unclear whether by gunfire or by shelling four more people died there. another military barrage hit

a cancer hospital in lugansk killing one woman and doing as you can see considerable damage. anti-government fighters have now abandon the cities of slavyansk and clamor to watch and they pull back further east towards the regional capital of the nets because you can see here but value to continue their resistance the constant shelling air raids and attacks have devastated civilian life tens of thousands of chosen to flee the war zone but those that won't talk and having to adapt. well you do have to see you must be met by like the you must come here. if you really bust the least use none could just do that with the support of the political. moguls for that will put them with regard to motherhood with the quilt remember democrats on my books are up for it it was just because one believes it was up because remember your absolute image. was going up which is. pretty stupid. people who are unsure. sure most.

of us. we have been chronicling the events of the last week and before in detail on the website where you can find much more video and some graphic images also of the events in the east. radical militants from the group known as the islamic state have boosted their finances by seizing an oil field in syria that's in addition to other resource rich sites they've already captured in iraq the jihadists have made gains in both countries this week or for one goal secure a so-called islamic caliphate on the territories it's also alleged the secretive leader the terrorists have paid on video for the first time apparently to shatter the claims of the iraqi government he had been wounded. and a different show of force the militants were reportedly caught on tape parading tanks and other combat vehicles in eastern syria all this comes hot on the heels of

washington releasing half a billion dollars in military support to the syrian opposition which raised fears some of the money will fall in the fall into the hands of extremists investigative journalist matt carr says america helped bring about isis in the first place isis is not just the ocean of syria isis has its origins in iraq itself in the jihad its resistance to the u.s. occupation when they would do have troops in iraq after the so-called surge there was a view. one of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized but probably never really happened and isis has been an hour to iraq not just because of what in syria but also by incompetence or terrorism and corruption at least amole government in iraq so all these different forces are clever situation which is very probable that some iraq could fragment into three. because i can't see the moment

the time being any kind of and sectarian movement that could overcome the division but really to get to shreds well some rebel factions in syria have already pledged allegiance to what is now been named the islamic states by militant so let's have a quick look at how much land the group already has under its control this black area on the map is the so-called islamic state you can see that half of the border between iraq and syria has been wiped dank by the militant iraq still claims that it can defeat the terrorists and reclaim the territories lucy careful of explains why that could prove to be very tough. the hottest formally known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this that opposition but now. one country there is no more or less. the iraqi army meanwhile is fighting back in televised news briefings the government takes

a victorious tone. come from the information that the ice is leaders have started to fleet but on the ground we've found little evidence to back up those claims this used to be a territory controlled by the central government but the iraqi army fled this area the same day that the city of mosul was captured by isis millions of dollars of u.s. made equipment abandoned uniforms shared in haste. now this looks like a perhaps a breakout from the special forces iraqi special forces this is obviously a vest that they discarded left behind they dressed in civilian clothes ran away essentially abandoned their posts and that's how in part isis has been able to see it so much territory so quickly the finding has displaced hundreds of thousands of iraqis that many are scarred by the two thousand and three invasion and describe a sense of deja vu with the current crisis again from two thousand and three it's

coming back so it's a disaster actually things are getting worse one to two hundred stand first hand how this war was playing out we're on our way right now to one of the front lines the village of magdala up until about five days ago when isis insurgents leave the country but entire territory village stands on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces are they really wanted answers to a benchmark lost soldiers have been able to clear bits of it but they're still clashes ongoing and that's what we're getting right now. at the base commanders take us to an output. overlooking an area controlled by militants this is the very first defensive position against the isis militants just two kilometers that way every single day there's been sniper fire attempts by the jihad is to enter this territory if they can push through the defensive position they would potentially take care coop and move into the territories and that could be a massive battle just waiting to happen moments later we have to leave and we just

got word that the just might be moving forwards all the soldiers have been told to evacuate this area we're going to get out before things get intense we know that there was clashes last night and we definitely don't want to be here if that happens again it was apparent just how conflicts this was the front lines change daily and no matter what military gains each day may bring if the iraqi civilians who lose as the war rages on to see catherine opar on t.v. cuckoo problems in iraq some experts believe the islamic states offensive is being orchestrated from abroad two states which are involved in the isis pro chicas on the one hand we've said already saudi arabia but on the other hand as well there is turkey we have saudi arabia it's a country which is very much engaged in europe saudi arabia is doing a lot for radicalizing if you go for.
