tuesday a school building was gutted during government shelling six died and more were wounded in the attack according to local media in the same onslaught a minibus was fired upon leaving four more dead and other military barrage at a cancer hospital in the ganske killing one woman and doing considerable damage these are just a few examples of what people in the east have been suffering when you do you would you. go with a note on it now why don't you move on to what you want to see what not but i know what i'm going to be going to what you thought i spoke were not done with my eyes in the push to you. today yeah you lizzie borden a good day in the hague and. that can do that now she is a national player that uses the. and the government fighters have abandoned four besieged cities in the east partly they say because they were indefensible and the other reason that they could do nothing to prevent civilian casualties goes by the government but bartman now

they've withdrawn toward the regional capital of dianetics ukrainian army has entered the towns after almost two months of deadly shelling the william doors from the international action center says the horrors of war are far from over for the citizens in east 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 and villages this is a 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 while some are refusing to or can't leave tens of thousands have chosen to flee the fighting whether it be refuge with relatives in other cities or escape abroad to russia and many are finding it's not easy or safe just to flee twice in twenty four hours a russian border checkpoint was targeted by the ukrainian military no one killed in

either attack though there were injuries among refugees waiting to enter russia. we're going to jump out of the school to become not just. like. you. did you did. that on your. i mean does that mean you think you would. have been chronicle of events of the last weekend before in detail on our website that you can find much more video of images and events in eastern ukraine. some of the other week's news radical militants from the group now known as the islamic state have boosted their finances by seizing in a whale field in syria in addition to other resource rich sites they've already captured in iraq she has made gains in both countries this week all for one goal to secure a so-called islamic caliphate on the captured territories also led to the secretive

leader of the terrorist appeared for the first time in a video apparently to shatter claims of the iraqi government that he had been wounded. in a different show of course militants were reportedly caught on tape parading tanks and other combat vehicles in eastern syria this on the heels of washington releasing half a billion dollars in military support to the syrian opposition which raised fears that some of the money will fall into the hands of extremists investigative journalist matt carr worries the u.s. helped bring about isis in the first place. isis is not just the haitian of syria isis origins in iraq itself in the resistance to the u.s. occupation when they would you have troops in iraq 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 out in not just because it will in syria but also by the incompetence or terrorism and corruption of the. in iraq so all

these different voices are going to situation which is very probable that iraq could fragment into three stages because i can't see the moment of the time being any kind of m six area movement that could overcome the division but everything in iraq to shreds some rebel factions in syria have already pledged allegiance to what's been dubbed the islamic state by militants let's take a look at how much land the group already has under its control the black area on the map here is the so-called islamic state it straddles the border that's this yellow line between syria and iraq now iraq claims that it can defeat the terrorists and reclaim the territories but are abut lucy capping off explains why that could be a tall order. harvests formally known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this but 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 victorias tone. maybe it's come 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 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 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 here on our way right now to one of the front lines the village of malabo la up until about five days ago isis resurgence could be controlled but entire territory village that's on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces that they really wanted answers to 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 they would potentially

take your coupe 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 forward so 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 each day if the iraqi civilians who lose as the war rages on. iraq still to come a look at the violence in the middle east sparked by the killing of a palestinian teenager in yours.

as a new physician i swear to abide by this to go. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise of those to do so. i will never do harm to. doctors of the dogs. dramas the chance to be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. faces change. the old picture of his days. from roads to blow.

and talking justly and fairly about a bit of everybody simmering tension made headlines worldwide with the mainstream media though choosing to focus more on one side of the story. sense that there will be some retaliation for the it's becoming increasingly apparent that his promise to make our must pay for the three teenagers found dead on monday 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. but largely unnoticed by the international media hundreds of palestinian families have been left to grieve over their children's deaths and these figures show more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have been killed and six thousand wounded by israeli forces since two thousand that means one palestinian child killed every three days activist mustafa barghouti as the international media has chosen to turn

a blind eye to israel's deadly wreck. israeli army has been killing palestinians in cold blood for several years we are talking about thousands and thousands of palestinians would killed by the israeli army and tens of thousands of people would enjoy doing forty seven years of military occupation there isn't any army now is demolishing houses and the actions of collective punishment out of continuing gold in the form of air raids on gaza which the israeli army is using to provoke reactions from palestinians and then because in these the abbey the actions as close as the reason for the openness of behavior in gaza strip and in other places in palestinian territories have you ever used any of those internet services that hide your identity or even just google information about them if the answer is yes then you're a potential terrorist in the eyes of the u.s. national security agency just visiting the website of the german based tor network

that hides ip addresses puts you on the n.s.a. radar you don't even have to use a software to get a list just searching for the information is enough former whistleblowers and those who help keep their identities hidden think the u.s. is something the n.s.a. has gone beyond the pale we've seen 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. is a grew up page and see 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 sunk 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 the storage facilities they're building get an idea of how much they're taking in like a million square foot storage facility in bluffdale utah and other stories that they've had existing all along at fort meade as well as other facilities around the world. a new york times reporter reveals security contractors once known as

blackwater threaten to kill government officials investigating the firm during the u.s. campaign in iraq what's more the agents could do nothing about it because of the company's influence during the war facing investigators a manager of the guns for hire company said quote that he could kill the agents and no one could or would do anything about it the incident allegedly happening just weeks before one blackwater unit killed seventeen civilians in baghdad after of a threat agents tried to stay out of sight in iraq even refusing to eat out in public the mercenaries they reported behaved behaved as though they were above the law former u.s. state department official peter van buren saying that 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 serious and revelation will do nothing for the already tainted reputation of the mercenary company over the years the group's been accused of viewing doing u.s. dirty work believed to have assisted the cia's drone mission in pakistan the government paid millions of dollars to the contractor and afghanistan allowed to have its own bases all of this culminating in a prosecution of several employees for killing civilians. this week a new generation aircraft carrier was officially named by the british queen at a ceremony in scotland the queen elizabeth the first of two ships built at a cost of more than 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 there already discuss the possible

implications with two military experts. should scotland separate the remains of the u.k. will still have defense forces all i would say is that if you have a single unitary force and you split it into two parts that it inevitably costs money to set up the aisle the pot 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 couldn't we talk about defense and independence go through the all roads eventually lead to tried and now the government has said it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory however there are huge implications of that because there appears to be no where the trident fleet plus is warheads could go in the u.k.

in the short to medium term and to move it would be hugely expensive and disruptive another crisis looming for ukraine it's decreasing natural gas reserves kiev is already resorting to tapping long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies over unpaid bills is creating an ease in the e.u. this is the blocks energy chief says the domino effect is inevitable for europe powerhouse in germany the fear is that unless you crane starts filling up storage facilities it may start siphoning gas destined for europe that warning has already been voiced by gazprom echoing these concerns russia's prime minister believes ukraine's troubles could balloon into a full scale gas crisis as soon as autumn dimitri medvedev. making 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 the map e.u. countries get gas from russia by way of multiple pipelines the lion's share of it goes through ukraine moscow stress that these supplies will continue as before but there are fears over siphoning and if that's realized then europe won't get the gas

it needs this winter as happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine international energy experts say the e.u. could end up having to pay for kiev's debt. issues are really acting very stupidly at the 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 spill even though they're being loaned the money to do so what will happen in the winter is that our european cast prices will go up as a result of that lack of russian gas hits in europe when that happens all of the consumer bills in western europe as well i said to the energy minister michael file and that really we in the end we will have to pay that gas bill out of the ukrainians we pay it one way or another. next r.t. international doctors of the dark side looks at the scandal of the torturous practices in u.s. controlled prisons or if you're watching us from the u.k. tent city reports on the struggles of homeless people fighting to keep their heads over.

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 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 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 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 stuart but that's just my opinion. america's military might and its foreign policy exist separately from one another the u.s. is a formidable military power but sadly it's weak foreign policy was that is want to not inclined to suspect the obama administration of the first. so in some secret plan directed against iran. to least be told language. programs and documentaries in arabic
