isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this up with a sham but now so 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 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 we want to understand first hand how this war was playing out we're under way right now at one of the front lines the village of some abdulla up until about five days ago when isis resurgence can leave the country but entire territory village that's on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces that they really wanted answers to and the benchmark lost soldiers have been able to clear bits of it but there are still clashes ongoing and that's what we're having 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 care coop and move into the territories and that could be a massive battle just waiting to happen moments later we had to leave and we just got word that the isis 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 definitely don't want to take care of that once again it was apparent just how fluid a conflicts this was the front lines change daily and no matter what military gains each day he may bring if the iraqi civilians who lose as the war rages on to see catherine oprah on t.v. cuckoo province iraq. still to come is a blackwater's reputation wasn't bad enough the new york times says the notorious

security contract to threaten to kill a state department official trying to expose its criminal behavior during the war in iraq we're talking about that plus as well could you live your life absolutely nothing for a good question and one frenchman gave it a go we'll tell you how his project and live locally. america's military might and its foreign policy exist separately from one another the u.s. is a formidable military power but sadly its weak foreign policy was that is why i'm not inclined to suspect the obama administration of pursuing some secret plan directed against. this immediate leader so we need to be. part of the seat cushions she threw in the other party years ago. for shoes that no one is asking with the gas that you

deserve answers from it's all politics. are today. well again suspects have been arrested over the murder of a palestinian teenager was thought to being slaughtered in a revenge killing and autopsy suggests the teen was burned alive.

and his death sparked fierce clashes between the arab population and israeli police the boy is believed to be murdered over the killing of three jewish teenagers whose bodies were discovered last monday the instance and tension soaring in the region within days israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes while trying to find the jewish teen's killer but a senior advisor for the palestinians biggest political party told us that israel's response was over the top. because this is that of military occupation of a country against. people and civilians because of sweeping koroma zation it's very clear that israel has exploited this incident to really politicize the event in a way to reveal its real intentions and its real intention is the block to block the emergence of a palestinian state is to make sure that gaza will never come back to the west bank and palestinians would remain for fragmented and the tools to it in this world is the target of

a state sponsored terrorism and the excessive use of force as you have just shown have you heard any word that there is a state that would simply yeah an entire nation lay siege on communities because there are investigations and allegations so this whole collective punishment approach that israel has been using has to stop and the emergence of this video certainly didn't help ease tension in the week it shows israeli police brutally beating the cousin of the murdered palestinian teenager he'd flown to jerusalem for the funeral but was arrested the day before friday ceremony the street clashes erupted. the brutal deaths of the israeli teenagers was given emotional coverage across the western channels. sense that there will be some retaliation for these threats it's becoming increasingly apparent that his promise to make one last 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 what hasn't been seen so much of the hundreds of palestinian families that have been left to grieve for their lost children in fact let's look at the news war more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have died and six thousand injured by israeli forces since the year two thousand as you can see that it's grim reading that's one palestinian child killed every three days but local activists fear the international media repeatedly chooses 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 tens 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 press of behavior in gaza strip and in other places and palestinian territories next a top u.s. war contract in iraq friend to kill a state department official who is looking into the wrong doings of which used to be called blackwater the new york times has published a report which claims the manager gloated that there was little investigators could do about it because blackwater was so heavily involved in u.s. work the document indicates that blackwater's top manager in a low even tone of voice told one of the government's agents that we could kill him without blinking an eye state department investigators who are in iraq had to therefore curb further investigation they describe stuff the natori security firm

is out of control that it was operating above the law but the american embassy sided with blackwater a former state department official told us washington knew about the reckless and dangerous behavior. 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 reporting to just weeks after the death threat of blackwater unit murdered seventeen people in the iraqi capital u.s.

officials said they were shooting without cause and that innocent lives were lost not that it stopped the firm from getting other lucrative contracts it's believed to have assisted the cia's drug mission in pakistan blackwater also received millions of dollars from washington for housing u.s. troops in afghanistan. there are more spy strains developing between germany and the united states it turns out there was a double agent in berlin it's too sick used to feed and take to know if the n.s.a. more on that got it online i'll call him also the two words this is a rather surreal structure actually it's an abandoned solve it era tricity generator apparently said to be capable of power in the whole country although now its power to reason stead fast they've looking thing find out more about that than if you see it r t don't come. to try and spur jobs and business we're often told only to buy local that's kind of tricky though in this

globalized world but one frenchman's decided to try give it a go run a cost sort of it went to find out how he fared surviving solely on french made products for nearly a year. french kind of person really in this day and age the answer is ninety six point nine percent if you ask french journalist special car the put a ten month ban on anything for most of us. the rules of this experience were to get rid of everything that was not french and only use products that got most of their added value on french soil with an average salary of one thousand eight hundred euros a month i found myself in a situation where i had to buy everything again including furniture inspired by a government plea to stick to french products to stem the country's decades long industrial decline the problem is that there aren't many products left these days that are purely french what really surprised me is how much food we import each time i see a foreign product i think it's crazy because it could have been made in france but

it's not. but benjamin's biggest surprise was that shoppers probably don't know whether french flag goods are valid from. today's rules of the european union a crazy if you take the should for example and you just so the buttons in front you have the right to put a maid in from it it's the last operation the product undergoes that matters. even though it's not hard to find economic patriots like benjamin call it is hard to support the french economy according to some experts the claim the point he's european commitments are opening the door to point competition and force in french companies out of business. we estimate that in france there's roughly one plant closing every day between two hundred forty and two hundred sixty plants a year absolute protectionism like in north korea is absolute everybody around the world agrees on that but we go from one extreme to another where there is no

regulation at all deindustrialization comes from globalization but it doesn't happen because some bad guys took the jobs of the french but because the french companies think we will make more money by going abroad purchasing with patriotism takes some effort but shoppers here are giving it a go and the hope of saving local businesses and keeping them in the country retail experts say there's room for all just so long as they play fair one solution being put forward is to level the employment standards within the european union and boost local industries so that it's not cheaper to buy farm products or get them manufactured. i love life and i love to benefit from things and i think it's impossible to live completely with french products it costs too much anyway and it takes a crazy amount of time because it's hard to find needless to say benjamin is now by n.p.r. his borders again but he's paying more attention to labels and ecological recycle products no matter where they come from moving the cost of our reports in from

armed groups has been on roy since the fall of colonel gadhafi and twenty eleven. how do you spot a potential terrorist well parity is easy for america's national security agency all it takes is to start using online privacy tools like this one. you get on the n.s.a.'s blacklist as soon as you visit this german base network that used to hide the ip address of your device and even if you just curious about how it all works it's best not to even search for it online because that puts you on the agency's radar to pull the whistle blows and those who help to keep their identities hidden in the n.s.a. has gone beyond redemption here. we've seen for the revelations that they're literally aspiring on every country that they can with the exception of for. in my opinion the n.s.a. is a grokked 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. already suck they did have a process that does limits what n.s.a. looks at and can take in and store in its database so 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 bluffdale utah and other stories that they've had existing all along at ford made as well as other facilities around the world. thanks choosing out international but for the next live update thirty three minutes from now up next though after the break a tight knit community of people living in tents in the united states are struggling to keep a shelter over their heads we got this story and if you watching us in the u.k. good evening it late steps to the news team london if you will the latest behind the scenes goings on.

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 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 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. on marriage in the final. moments i mean it's. only taken the demand. in life there. thriller with.
