and another military barracks hit a cancer hospital in against killing one woman and doing as you can see considerable damage. well anti-government fighters have now abandoned the cities of slavyansk and climate or scared they've pulled back further east towards the regional capitals of the nets but valid to continue their resistance the constant shelling air raids and attacks have devastated civilian life tens of thousands have chosen to flee the war zone but those that won't or can't are having to adapt. not forgotten short on we were put off initially. my eyes in the bush you really are you with the boys you know today in the shade you know should think that given that notion is a measure pretty good. luck to you we see you going to the stream you're welcome but when you've done it it doesn't have to be the boys you bring you made you got more the decision you know student she demurred. this week has also seen several
2:09 am
run ins for russian journalists working in the conflict zone and one of them fatal . to do it. journalists were forced to dive for cover on monday when their bus came under fire at night a sixty eight year old camera man was shot in the incident and he died within an hour of this being filmed. on thursday his colleagues from the same channel came under artillery fire hey you can hear the explosions the loud noises there as the tape tries to hide from the bombardment. but we've been chronicling the events of the last week and before and in detail on our website there you can find much more video and images of events in eastern ukraine. in other news radical militants from the group know now known as islamic state have boosted their finances by seizing an oil field
2:10 am
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 all for one goal to secure a so-called islamic caliphate on the captured territories it's also alleged the secretive leader of the terrorists appeared on video for the first time apparently to shatter the claims of the iraqi government he had been wounded. in 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 trey's fears some of the money will fall into the hands of the extremists investigative journalist matt carr says america helped bring about isis in the first. ice is not just the ocean of syria isis has its origins in iraq itself in the jihad its
2:11 am
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 that 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 the amole government in iraq so all these different forces a clever situation 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 and sectarian movement that could overcome the division but ridiculous to shreds some rebel factions in syria have already paged allegiance to what's now been named the islamic state by militants so let's have a look at how much land the group already has under its control the black area of the map is the so-called islamic state and you can see that half of the border between iraq it's orange line here and syria has been wiped out by the militants
2:12 am
iraq still claims that it can defeat the terrorists and reclaim the territories you see calvin of the explains why that could prove to be a very tough. the harvest formerly known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this that up with a sham but now it's all 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 you know what may just 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
2:13 am
a perhaps a breakout from the special forces the 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 fighting 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 is one of the front lines the village of magdala up until about five days ago isis insurgents leave the country but entire territory village that's on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces so they really want to answer to
2:14 am
a benchmark lost soldiers have been able to clear bits of it but they're still cautious ongoing and that's what we're getting right now. at the base commanders take us to an outcome. 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 than they would potentially take care 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 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 if the iraqi civilians who lose as the war
2:15 am
rages on. kook problems iraq are watching are to internationalise morning i'm back with more news in a couple of minutes. fratto terrorism the nature of terrorism is becoming increasingly internationalized local governments which may be the case in afghanistan very limited and militants are curtailed that increasingly globalized spread so what how do you really strike a balance here before. but not like the brooks who was in the post if we all start for i did a lot of them were there would be some if you drug. company it's the spitzer to.
2:16 am
join me on. impartial and financial commentary contributes. only on the bus and. autopsy results suggest the palestinian teenager abducted and killed in jerusalem this week. palestinians blame his mood on far right jewish settlers his death sparked fears clashes across the nation with police in jerusalem using tear gas to disperse. why don't also spread to some arab towns and stone throwing crowds roaming the streets there is thought the
2:17 am
teenager was murdered in revenge for the killing of three jewish teenage kids which israel claims to have massed all israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes while trying to find them. is offering to hold its rocket attacks on israel the television stop shelling gaza. the killing of the palestinian teenager also sparked public outrage in the u.k. scores of people gathered outside the israeli embassy in london there to show their anger what they say are rising levels of racism and violence the crowd chanted slogans calling on israel to stop attacks on palestinians we discuss the crisis with two political experts one from gaza the other from television this event of killing of three teenagers in in bank city of here problem this does not justify it all the kidnapping more than five hundred palestinians most of them leaders in a mass in the west bank airstrikes mightly pieces on the does
2:18 am
a stream is continuous this is overwhelming situation israel is the unfortunately the main bully in the neighborhood but there is no way to stop those killings on both sides by making a beautician the only way to blake this vicious suit is but sitting together and talking justly and fairly about a better future for everybody. now have you ever used any of those internet services that hide your identity or maybe just google information about them if the answer is yes then you are a potential terrorist at least in the eyes of america's national security agency just visiting the web site for example of the german based tor network which hides ip addresses puts you on the n.s.a.'s radar artie's peter all of the resemble in with the details. the tall project was created to allow people to surf the internet
2:19 am
without having to give away their identity or allow with third party to look at what websites they were looking at well it turns out to service here in germany and actually being tapped into by the n.s.a. what this means is although the n.s.a. can't see what you're looking at online they know that you are using the talk project and what they've said is if anybody uses the top project they go on a database and they are labeled extremists know to find out more about what this all means i'm joined by codes from the chaos computer club one of your service was one of those that was tapped into how many people in germany just this effect. there are a lot of people who are affected at least solomons because it's not only the users of zones on mining services but also people who was searched for like using those tools and it's also specific ip addresses that were targeted.
2:20 am
now when you said it's just people if you even search for it now in preparing for this i clicked on the top project does not mean my name would have gone into this database yes exactly it's also a journalist or academics who write about those two words or doing research about it and it's even one person who would try to have some information about does anonymizing services thank you very much there. from the chaos computer club one of the servers that was tapped into by the n.s.a. belong to organization just showing that even with the most the programs that are created to make you anonymous online the n.s.a. is still finding ways to find out who you are and what you're doing. and despite the concerns you had there for whistleblowers and help them keep their identities hidden think it would. impossible to reform the n.s.a. we've seen for the revelations that they're literally aspiring on every country
2:21 am
that they care and with the exception of four. in my opinion the n.s.a. is a grew up the agency if i as an individual had undertaken the same actions i would be thrown into prison for thirty years any attempt to reform in my opinion is like bailing out the ship that's already suck they did have a process that those limits what n.s.a. looks at and can take in and store in its database so that you can take a look at that the storage facilities they're building you get an idea of how much they're taking in like a million square foot storage facility in bluff deal utah and other stories that they've had existing all along at fort meade as well as other facilities around the world the new york times report has revealed that the security contract is once known as blackwater threaten to kill government officials investigating the during the u.s. campaign in iraq what's more the agents could do nothing about it because of the company's power during the war facing investigate is
2:22 am
a manager of the guns for hire company said and i quote that he could kill you agents and no one could or would do anything about it the incident allegedly took place just weeks before one black or two units killed seventeen civilians in the iraqi capital. after the threat the agents tried to stay active sites in iraq refusing even to public the mercenaries they reported behaved as if they were above the law or former us state department official peter van burton 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 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
2:23 am
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 recent revelations would do nothing for the already tainted reputation of the mystery company over the years the group has been accused of doing america's dirty work it is believed me to this is that the cia's dr mission in pakistan the government paid out many hundreds of dollars to the contract in afghanistan and allowed it to have its own military bases all this culminated in the prosecution of several blackwater employees for killing civilians . now another crisis is looming for ukraine it's decreasing natural gas reserves kiev has already resorted to tapping its long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies over unpaid bills and this is creating unease in the e.u. this is the block's energy chief here gunther often gets says
2:24 am
a domino effect is inevitable even for europe's powerhouse germany the fear is that unless you crane starts filling up at storage facilities it may start siphoning gas destined for europe that warning has already been voiced by gazprom and echoing those concerns russia's prime minister believes ukraine's troubles could balloon into a full scale gas crisis as soon as this autumn dmitri medvedev made the claim on his facebook page so why is there so much concern about a wider gas crisis in europe let's take a look at a map over here because that will give us a better understanding of what's going on principally e.u. countries received gas from russia via multiple pipelines and a lion's share of those go right through ukraine moscow has stressed that these supplies will continue as before but if the fears over siphoning are realized europe won't get the gas it needs this winter as happened before in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine international energy experts say the e.u.
2:25 am
could end up having to pay the kids death. officials are really acting very stupidly in a school creating and you should they should be putting enormous pressure on the government to come to their senses if they can't pay their cast spill even though they've been loaned the money to do so what will happen in the winter is there are european costs prices will go up as a result of that lack of russian gas hitting europe when that happens all of the consumer bills in western europe as well i said to the energy minister michael fallon that really we in the end we will have to pay that gas bill either ukrainians pay or we pay it one way or another. more news in about half an ice time up next it's the pot.
2:26 am
have you ever heard the expression pleasantly surprised well that is how i felt when i heard that the supreme court of the united states had ruled that digital information on cell phones of rest of people cannot be seized without a warrant finally the american people catch a break in a court decision this ruling is linked to the two cases in which the police used information on a suspect telephone to press for further charges against them i think that's the most important aspect of this decision is the press that it sets the court said that just because a cell phone is in a suspects hand it does not make the information on it any less worthy of protection for which the founding fathers fought so could we extend this to say something like just because i have a telephone or computer that doesn't make the information on them unworthy of protection from the n.s.a. or the privacy invaders the thing is that this supreme court decision is a good start but the police using your cell phone against you upon arrest is just
2:27 am
the tip of the privacy destruction iceberg if the members of the highest court in land really do feel that the founding fathers fought to protect our privacy then they have a lot of paperwork and court decisions ahead of them for stuart but that's just my opinion. bryce of the islamic state or isis in the middle east is said to reward the political realities of the region the west feel colonial agenda for the arab world is coming to an end it would seem the arab spring has been replaced with a jihadi summer. your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't. call it. different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep. norrish. we

post only what others are to your facebook street. hello welcome to all the part of the conventional wisdom of the law as they call it sounds that we all have a stake in global security but how to secure that security is not only a point of contention it's increasingly a source of conflict how do you protect yourself without endangering your neighbor all to discuss that i'm now joined by. pakistan's national security adviser mr aziz thank you very much for being here thank you and i'm glad to be with you now i know that. a few months ago in the beginning of this year you were very warmly welcomed into washington by the secretary of state john kerry and you were greeted in moscow in pretty much the same terms by secretary or other foreign minister sergey lavrov
2:29 am
what is pakistan's game here are you trying to play the russians against the americans no i don't think it is a game. of government has come a year ago and. so prime minister has. to build economic partnerships hit and because you can't have a brother this without peace and so peaceful. countries so as a part of that i don't think that. because india's. bugs in their medical bill did i think go over so we have to have a even handed. relationship both to do a c. ended and now it is the us we have had some misunderstanding the last few years and now we are trying to or come demin move on to a strategic partnership with russia also will the opportunity for much closer to.
