a deterring rather calm but very cool sum of american origin actually filmed in eastern syria here iraq insists it can defeat the jihadists but as lucy come from off explains but could prove harder than it thinks to harvest formally known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this. but now this is one country. the iraqi army meanwhile is fighting back in televised news briefings the government takes a victorias 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
2:12 pm
u.s. made equipment abandoned uniforms shared in haste. now this looks like a i had 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 start again from two thousand and three it's coming back so it's a disaster actually things are getting worse we want to try to understand first hand how this war was playing out there are we. right now it's one of the front lines the village of the mob up until about five days ago isis insurgents completely control that entire territory village that's on
2:13 pm
a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces so they really want to access 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 having right now. at the base commanders take us to an outpost 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 that they would potentially take your 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 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 want to be careful that once again it was apparent just how the weather conflicts this was the front lines change daily and no matter what military gains each day may bring if the iraqi

ten pm in moscow reporting next suspects have been arrested over the murder of a palestinian teenager who is thought to have being slaughtered in a revenge killing and autopsy suggests the teen was burned alive. this is the result his death spot fierce clashes between the arab population and israeli police the boys believed to be murdered over the killing of those three jewish teenagers whose bodies again were discovered last monday the instant sent tension soaring in the region within days israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes while trying to find the jewish teens killers but a senior advisor for the palestinians biggest political party told us that israel's response he thought was over the top. because. is that of military occupation of a country against people and civilians the case of sweeping chroma zation it's very
2:17 pm
clear that israel has exploited this incident to really politicize the event in a way to reveal its 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 attend this world is not that of a state sponsor of 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 kidnap 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 then in the week the emergence of this video certainly didn't help ease the tensions and 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's ceremony and street clashes erupted. brutal death solve the israeli teenagers was given
2:18 pm
emotional coverage across the western channels meantime sense that there will be some retaliation for these threats is becoming increasingly apparent as promised to make one last pay three teenagers found out on monday there is a huge amount of grief the discovery 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. well that was the site of the coverage of what hasn't been so much see the hundreds of palestinian families or the be left to grieve for their lost children take a look at the figures here more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have died and six thousand have been injured by israeli forces since the year two thousand and one charles if i died every three days but local activists fear the
2:19 pm
international media is 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 tens of thousands of people were injured during forty seven years of military occupation the 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 territories. here's one for lucrative shale gas reserves chevron started drilling no northeast romania and though the government claims the technology is safe the public is still very uneasy about the controversy can offset
2:20 pm
some of the locals who might have to bear the consequences of the drilling that. 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 causing concern is when 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 ourselves 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 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
2:21 pm
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 exploited shale gas for the next thirty years the company also gets to decide what to do with it well 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 that the adverse effects that fracking is believed to have on the environment became global you know these include flame that will tap water contaminated soil and pieces of illnesses among both humans and animals that's why it caused
2:22 pm
a 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 is going off r t s d. the stories reporting on seems the more spies strain is developing between germany and the united states turns out there was a double agent in berlin bits to secure is now feeding data to the n.s.a. you can read up more about that zit r.t. dot com or solve it to what's this all this real structure parents in a band and solve it electricity generators said to be capable of powering the whole country if it really got into go it's now though powering tourism instead final conflict kind of scary read up more about than thirty dot com. japan's ruling parties have agreed to lift a self-imposed ban on overseas military operations for the first time since the
2:23 pm
second world war the decision to change the constitution has provoked a wave of protests the video we're about to show you contains some graphic scenes where money went so far here is to set him self of like he's currently in hospital the latest rally outside the prime minister's office in tokyo truck to brant and thousand people and it led to clashes with police as you can see the protesters criticize the government for failing to hold a referendum on expanding japan's military ambitions. defense analysts say the change may affect the balance of power in the regions of japan could feasibly help its allies fighting overseas at the moment the u.s. is deploying more troops to the area more than eighty thousand military personnel in fact are present at more than forty bases across the asia pacific region now while some experts don't see this shift as particularly serious others do warn it could have grave consequences in any potential future conflict. because it's going to bring. you further past because
2:24 pm
your impact you need more it will be united you know. all the world. they want their characters either all this by the japanese prime minister to essentially change the constitution i see we have two very powerful countries china japan and japan has a military alliance with the united states so just circe any kind of just trying to plan and try to then we're talking back to nuclear powers butting heads and i'm a little surprised that people are not maybe more concerned about this situation and they are they have to. two thirds majority from both palaces and then it will become a referendum for the people what ali has done has circumvented all of that and declared that his resolution can't just interpret the constitution and that's
2:25 pm
a very dangerous power even if you agree with what he's doing the process by which he's doing it is completely. going so watching us this hour we appreciate you rosa called a lot of choice but some great programs lying down lined up for you hopefully you'll stay with us after the break worlds apart here tonight looking at whether america's withdrawal from afghanistan could further destabilize the entire region. yes it's official the mainstream media must be made up of stereotypical gossipy teenage girls i mean how else can you explain the fact that michelle obama using the term chipped has become a scandal i don't white house summit on working families mrs obama explained that when she was working part time she realized she was getting gypped because she was actually king full time but only getting paid the part time salary technically the
2:26 pm
term gypped is somewhat racist and implies a gypsy's are all con men but in the modern world i think most people don't even know where the term comes from i doubt michelle obama likes a medieval peasant shield her children from wandering gypsies who could give them the evil eye i seriously question that there is any deep racial intent in the statement i personally would let the first lady off the hook but the question is would she do the same for me or any other person in the media probably not but thankfully for mrs obama she can't be fired from being the first lady only divorced or her husband's term ends now for me and every other person saying their opinion on camera we've got to be a lot more careful but that's just my opinion. america's military might and its foreign policy exist separately from one another the us is a formidable military power but sadly it's weak foreign policy wise that is why i'm
2:27 pm
not inclined to suspect the obama administration is pursuing some secret plan directed against iran. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic in school here on. reporting from the world talks about fifty yard p. interviews entry. arabic. visit arabic. hello and welcome to worlds apart the conventional wisdom of the law make it sounds
2:28 pm
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 said taj aziz pakistan's national security adviser mr aziz thank you very much for being here thank you 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 sergei lavrov 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. so prime minister has. to build economic partnerships hit and because you can't have a broad this without peace and so peaceful. countries
2:29 pm
so as a part of that i don't think that. because india's. bug is not in the american game those days i think go over so we have to have a even handed elation ship both to do it. and now as for the u.s. 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 relationship is ripe because we have had highs and lows in the past and now the convergence of interest whether it is counterterrorism but that it is stability in afghanistan with that it is the overall and i think russia has also probably decided that not to look at l.t. shell only from the indian perspective at indian prism but to look at openness option and then of course we have.
