locals see the army as the opposite of liberators. the reports out this morning is that they are already going door to door looking for people who might have remained behind who helped or are perceived as having helped these self-defense forces and the local say they are being executed we have seen some very grim results in the previously occupied towns most of the young and middle aged men are rounded up what exactly is being done with them whether they are being executed or taken off is not entirely known we have heard the defense minister of the ukraine several weeks ago speak openly and without even any attempting to hide it that all of the citizens of eastern ukraine when these towns and cities or reconquered would be taken to women children and men would be taken to filtration camps not even really trying to hide the connection with concentration camps of course this week also saw several run

ins for russian journalists working in the conflict zone one of the fatal. news crews forced to dive for cover on monday when their bus came under fire and a sixty year old camera man shot during the incident he died within an hour of this being filled. on thursday as colleagues from the same network came under fire you can hear the explosions as the team tries to hide from the bombardment. we've been chronicling events of the last week and earlier in detail on our web site more images and analysis of what's happening in eastern ukraine on our team. this week the leader of a jihadist group known as the islamic state made his first public appearance he gave a weekly sermon in the second largest city of iraq praising the creation of islamic caliphate on the occupied territories militants making major gains capturing a key oil field on the syrian border this on top of other resource rich sites
10:10 am
they've already snatched from baghdad let's take a look at how much land the islamic state group already has under its control now this black area on the map is their declared islamic caliphate the orange line is the border separating syria from iraq the success of the islamic state group has seen a number of rebel factions in syria now pledge their allegiance to it and they're eager to show off their military hardware to persuade other fighters to join their cause a parade of tanks and other vehicles some of them of u.s. origin filmed in eastern syria iraq insisting it can defeat the jihad is but it's losing coughing up explains that could prove a tall order. just harvests formally known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this a sham but now. one country is no more or less. the iraqi army meanwhile is finding back in televised news briefings the government
10:11 am
takes a victorious tone. 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 shed in haste. now this looks like 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 seize 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
10:12 am
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 we want to turn to stand first hand how this war was playing out we're underway right now at one of the front lines of the village and some abdulla up until about five days ago when 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 insist 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 outcome. overlooking an area controlled by militants this is the very first offensive 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
10:13 am
got word that the isis just maybe 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 her once again it was apparent just how conflicts this was the front lines change daily and no matter what nearly two games each team a brain if the iraqi civilians who lose as the war rages on you see calf no four on t.v. who province in iraq while the caliphate rolls out the u.s. releasing half a billion dollars in military support to the moderate syrian opposition there would still fear that some about kashmir fall to extremist hands investigative journalist matt carr thinks the us helped bring about the islamic state movement in the first place i say this is not just creation of the series isis has its origins in iraq itself in the jihad it was just the us occupation when they would do the troops in
10:14 am
iraq the home of the so-called surge that was a very good. one of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized that probably never really happened and isis has been out in iraq not just because it was in syria but also by the incompetence or terrorism and corruption of the american government in iraq so all these different forces of privacy generation which is very probable that some 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. still to come what's lucrative for a son can prove dangerous for others stay with us to find out how shale gas drilling in romania has locals fearing for their livelihoods plus. a potentially foolproof way to prove who is a potential terrorist the criteria trying to keep yourself private online apparently that's what the n.s.a. things we'll tell you more after this break.

these deaths 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 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. what hasn't been seen so much are the hundreds of palestinian families that have been left to grieve for their lost children more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have died six thousand injured by israeli forces since two thousand as the figures show one palestinian child killer every three days local activists fear for the fear the international media chooses to turn a blind eye to israel's deadly record israeli army has been killing palestinians in cold blood. we are talking about thousands and thousands of palestinians would

energy firm chevron started drilling in northeast romania but the government claims the technology is safe the public is uneasy about the industry or piskun of some locals who might have to bear the consequences of the drily. this family gets everything from their form it's their home and business at the same time since whatever extra they managed to produce they sell that's why having chevron develop shell gas just a few miles away is to say the least cause and concern. is known we know what they did in other countries using this technique we are really worried it will contaminate the water and the air our food comes from the soil we're afraid for our animals our plants and our selves wherever these people go they plant death. last december the small romanian village made global headlines when its residents tried stopping the u.s. energy giant from coming here to protest and in clashes with the police and arrests well officials gave the green light to start the operation despite the fierce
10:21 am
opposition from the local starting from the sixth of may chevron began the drilling the company says it's going to continue until the target is reached approximately at around two and a half miles below the surface of the drilling goes on twenty four hours a day seven days a week since in this industry time is money. fracking or hydraulic fracturing is a way of developing underground deposits of natural gas by pumping a high pressure mix of water sand and chemicals into the ground this cracks deep layers of rock to let the gas out chevron has signed a deal with the romanian government to exploit its shell gas for the next thirty years become but he also gets to decide what to do with it while the state gets royalties of between three and a half and thirteen percent. up so this is exactly the same technology as is used in the united states the latest generation fracking techniques show very good results in terms of safety for the environment but in fact it's because of the us
10:22 am
that the adverse effects that fracking is believed to have on the environment became global you know these include flame little tap water contaminated soil and pieces of illnesses among humans and animals that's why it caused the wave of protests across the globe and is either banned or under a moratorium in several countries including russia germany and france. back in the locals claim they won't back down saying it's not only their lives they're fighting for but the next generation of romanians as well as going off. to separate attacks on a broad coastal districts in kenya killed at least twenty nine according to the country's interior ministry during the first assault gunmen stormed the police station releasing detainees some of them linked to previous terror acts the second heavily armed militants raid the training center in the village of hindi islamist group al-shabaab says it was behind both attacks. foreign engineers believe kidnapped in libya i mean the deteriorating security

situation there saturday night security forces and armed militias engaged in street battles in tripoli one soldier reportedly killed fighting between pro-government forces and various armed groups have been on the rise since the downfall of the khadafi regime in two thousand and eleven. a long distance swimmer attacked by a great white shark off california's manhattan beach pier one of the u.s. is biggest beach is the victim who survived was bitten by the two metre long predator after apparently became agitated trying to free itself from a fishing hook us pacific coast as one of the greatest concentrations of the great white sharks but attacks are rare. how do you spot a potential terrorist it's easy for the u.s. national security agency they say all it takes is to start using online privacy tools like this one that will land you on the n.s.a. blacklist if you visit this german based network used to hide the ip address of your device even if you're just curious about how it all works it's best not to search for it online that also could put you on the agency radar former
10:24 am
whistleblowers and those who help them keep their identities hidden think the n.s.a. has gone beyond redemption. for the revelations that they're literally spying on every country that they can 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 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 the storage facilities there build the 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. still to come worlds apart looks at whether the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan could destabilize the region stable.

i've never 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 a suspect telephone to press for further charges against them i think this is the most important aspect of the station 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
10:26 am
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 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.

pakistan is in the american game those days i think over so we have to have a even handed deletion ship both to do is good and now it is us we have had some misunderstanding the last few years and now we are trying to or come them and move on to a strategic partnership with russia also the opportunity for a much closer lation ship is right because we have had highs and lows in the past and now the convergence of interest that it is counterterrorism but that it is stability and understand with that it is the overall and i think that she has also probably decided that not to look at only from the indian perspective at indian prism but to look at openness option and then of course we have brought of the deal . mentioned which are coming in now speaking about the convergence of interest it's clear that all three nations that you just mentioned.
