refresh nasty in eastern ukraine. the destruction of congress of course the firestorm of debate on how far is too far closest ally the united states has rushed to his defense calling the army's actions quote an attempt to restore peace the state department even justified the operation as a measured response meanwhile the shell shocked locals have begun burying their dead including a five year old boy and his father dozens of people gathered to say their goodbyes and what was left of the village square where we met the woman who had to watch as her son and husband were buried together. we. believe the beautiful. when you look at them boys.

well disillusionment with the actions of ukraine's military has reached the country's parliament this is how a lawmaker interrupted president petro poroshenko as he was praising the armed forces i mean you can't even leave it shut it. was it was. a man i mean there today imo i believe people predict a national database thigh. well blunders and attacks of certain destruction and tragedy across the east of ukraine throughout the wake on tuesday a school building was gutted during government shelling six people died and more were injured in the attack according to local media in the same onslaught a minibus was also fired upon leaving four more people dead another military

barracks hit a cancer hospital in against killing one woman and doing as you can see here considerable damage and these are just a few examples of what people in the east have gone through. my eyes in the bush is the day i was aboard the good day in michigan. now she is a national player that you can see a black eye you will see going to the screen you're welcome but we're going to be there but i was there for you made you got more the decision you know student she they were studying was not the best you know. when you know you make about here. well anti-government fighters have now abandoned the cities of slovyansk and comer tossed partly they say because both were indefensible the other reason given is that they could do nothing to prevent civilian casualties caused by the government bombardment and they're now pulled back towards the regional capital here the new.

ukrainian army has now entered the towns after almost two months of deadly shelling but william daughters from the international action center says the horrors of war are far from over for the citizens of eastern ukraine. it's no great act of heroism to show a civilian community and then raise your flag over it is no great accomplishment for the first time in seventy years artillery and aerial bombardment is falling on the cities of eastern ukraine around villages where this is an all out war by the poroshenko government on its own people and it's being funded by the united states it appears they are not willing to stop even with suppressing opposition in east ukraine. we've been chronicling the events of the last week before in detail on our website and there you can find much more video and images of events that happened in eastern ukraine. radical militants from the

group now known as 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 jihadists have made gains in both countries this week all for one goal to secure a so-called islamic caliphate on the captured territories is also alleged the secretive leader of the terrorist appeared on video for the very first time apparently to shatter the claims of the iraqi government he had been wounded. well 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 which praise something is the money will fall into the hands be extremists investigative journalist matt carr says america has help bring about isis in the first place.

rice 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 that probably never really happened and isis has been in power to iraq not just because of what in syria but also by the incompetence of terrorism in the russian amole government in iraq so all these different forces are clever situation which is very probable that some iraq could fragment into three states because i can't see the moment of the time being any kind of and sectarian movement that could overcome the division but to shreds some rebel factions in syria have already pledged allegiance to what's now been named the islamic state by militants so let's have a look at how much the land the land the group has really taken under its control

this black area on the map is the so-called islamic state as you can see it does actually straddle the existing border between syria and iraq which is that yellow line there now iraq still claims that it can defeat the terrorists and reclaim the territories you see caffein off 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 a sham but now. one country. the iraqi army meanwhile is fighting back in televised news briefings the government takes a victorious tone. from the information that the isis leaders have started to flee 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 hat 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 i want to understand first hand how this war was playing out we're under way right now is one of the front lines of the village and some abdulla up until about five days ago when isis insurgents he

controlled that entire territory the village that's on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces so they believe one of the answers to it the 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 than they would potentially take your coupe and move into the k r g 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 ice is just not just 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 hear about weapons again do it was apparent just how fluid

a conflict 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 lucy craft no party kook problems in iraq and still to come we'll look at the fall of the tit for tat in the middle east bought by the killing of a palestinian teenager in jerusalem us just ahead. brice abuse law makes major isis in the middle east is said to reward the political realities in the region the west feel colonial agenda for the arab world is coming to an end it would seem their spring has been replaced with a jihadi summer. dramas

that can't be ignored. stories others refused to notice. faces change the walls of lights never. old pictures of today's leaves no longer run from roads to look. up to. fifty. welcome back autopsy results suggest the palestinian teenager getting killed in jerusalem this week was burned alive palestinians blamed his murder on far right

jewish settlers his death sparked fierce clashes across the nation with police in jerusalem using tear gas to disperse the crimes. of violence also spread to some arab towns with stone throwing crowds roaming the streets there is still a teenager was murdered in revenge for the killing of three jewish teenagers which israel blames on hamas israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and radio thousands of homes while trying to find. is offering to halt its rocket attacks on israel television stop shelling. the killing of the palestinian teenager also sparked public outrage in the u.k. scores of people gathered outside the israeli embassy in london to show their anger there and 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 political experts one from gaza and the other from tel aviv. ben student of killing 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 gaza strip 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 him the only way to blake this vicious suit is based sitting together and talking justly and fairly about a better future for everybody. the simmering tension has made headlines worldwide with the mainstream media however choosing to cover only one side of the story pretty much. sense that there will be some retaliation for these threats it's

becoming increasingly apparent that his promise to make her must pay for the three teenagers found dead on monday there is a huge amount of grief at the discovery of 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 but largely unnoticed by the international media hundreds of palestinian families have been left to grieve over their children's deaths leaves the figures more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have been killed and six thousand injured by israeli forces since two thousand and that means one palestinian child has been killed every three days activists mustafa barghouti says the international media has repeatedly chosen to turn a blind eye to israel's deadly record. israeli army has been killing palestinians

in cold blood for several years we are talking about thousands and thousands of palestinians were killed by the israeli army and terms of thousands of people who were injured during forty seven years of military occupation their israeli army now is demolishing houses and the actions of collective punishments are continuing also in the form of air raids on gaza which the israeli army is using to provoke reactions from palestinians and then present these they are either the actions as cause or as the reason for their or purpose of behavior in gaza strip and in other places and palestinian targets. and in a further hassle ation the crisis the shocking video emerges alleging allegedly showing israeli police beating the fifteen year old cousin of the palestinian thing that was burnt alive in east jerusalem for the details of this story head to r.t. dot com. understand it took six substances to be found in mexico city but one thing

police didn't expect to find was a load of radioactive material online will tell you how it probably got there. now have you ever used any of those internet services that hide your identity or maybe just good information about them or if the answer is yes and you are a potential terrorist at least that's in the eyes of america's national security agency just visiting the website of the german based tour network for example which hides ip addresses puts you on the n.s.a.'s radar you don't even have to use the software to get on the list simply searching for information about it easy enough well for the whistle blows and those who help them keep their identities hidden think the n.s.a. has gone beyond redemption. reaching for the revelations that they're literally spying on every country that they can with the exception of for. in my opinion the n.s.a. as a group 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 can take in and store in its database so that you can take a look at the storage facilities they're building to give 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 ford made as well as other facilities around the world. but new york times reported 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 a manager of the guns for hire company said and i quote that he could kill the agents and no one could or would do anything about it the incident allegedly took

place just weeks before one blackwater unit killed seventeen civilians in the iraqi capital after the threat the agents tried to stay out of sight in iraq refusing even to eight thousand public mercenaries a report it behaved as if they were above the law former u.s. state department official peter van buren 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 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 while the recent revelation really nothing for the already tainted reputation of the nursery company over the years the group has been accused of doing america's believed to assist the cia's training mission in pakistan the government paid millions of dollars to the contractor in afghanistan and allowed it to have its own military bases and all this culminated in the prosecution of several blackwater employees for killing civilians. this week a new generation of aircraft carrier was officially named by the british queen at a ceremony in scotland the queen elizabeth is the first of two warships being built at a cost of over ten billion dollars but with a yes no referendum on scottish independence looming opinions are divided about the future of britain's naval forces currently based their party discuss the possible implications with two military experts. should scotland separate the remainder of

the u.k. will still have defense forces all i would say is that if you have a single unit tree force and you split it into two parts then it inevitably costs money to set up the other part with all the admin and things like that but it ends up less efficient so there will be less money effectively and we already don't spend enough on defense assuming that an independent scotland supplication to join nato was successful then. scotland would expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa i think when we talk about defense and independence go to the all roads eventually lead to tried and now the s.n.p. government has said it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory however other huge implications in that because there appears to be no where the trident fleet plus warheads could go in the u.k. in the short to medium term and to move it would be hugely expensive and disruptive

. being with r.t. today in just a couple of minutes we bring you the stories of those living in a homeless community in the u.s. thanks to jesse. 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 the digital information and cell phones of arrested 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 suspects telephone to press for further charges against them i think this is the most important aspect of this decision is the person that 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 other privacy invaders the thing is that the supreme court decision is a good start but the police using your cell phone against you upon arrest is just 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.

i'm abby martin the stories we cover here you're not going to hear any right super big story extra headlines same time there's a reason they don't want you to know. that we don't think. now let's break the set. theory on the lake what they could do jersey usa and what was going on in this town is really quite unique in that there's a major what we call gentrification one group of people is moving into the town.
