3:12 pm
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 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 one. war was playing out we're on our way right now to one of the front lines the village of mobbed up until about five days ago isis insurgents completely control that entire territory village that's on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces are they really want

to access to it the benchmark lost soldiers have been able to clear principles but there are 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 defensive position against the isis militants just two kilometers that way every single day there's been sniper fire attempts by the hardest to enter this territory if they can push through the defensive position than 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 got word that the isis just might be 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 be here is that once again it was apparent just how knew what a conflict 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 you see

of the palestinian teenager who was thought to have been slaughtered in a revenge killing an autopsy suggests the teen was burned alive. this is the result and his death sparked fierce clashes between the arab population and israeli police the boy's belief a bit murdered over the killing of the three jewish teenagers whose bodies were discovered last monday the incident sent tensions soaring in the region within days is what arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes will try to find the jewish teen's killers the senior advisor for the palestinians biggest political party told us that israel's response he thought was over the top. the case is that of military occupation of a country against people and civilians the case of sweeping chroma 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 to block the emergence of
3:17 pm
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 state sponsored terrorism and the excessive use of force as you have just shown have you heard us say that there is a state that would simply kidnap an entire nation less seizure 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 in the week certainly didn't help ease the tension either it shows israeli police brutally beating the cousin of the murdered palestinian teenager he'd flown to jerusalem for the funeral was arrested the day before friday's ceremony is 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 deaths 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 much coverage but what hasn't been seen so much are the hundreds of palestinian families that have been left to grieve for their lost children let's take a look at the news war more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have died and six thousand have been injured by israeli forces since the year two thousand figures show that's one palestinian child dying every three days but local activists fear the international media repeatedly chooses to turn a blind eye to israel's iraq. israeli army has been killing palestinians in cold blood for several years we are talking about thousands and thousands of
3:19 pm
palestinians were killed by the israeli army and tens of thousands of people who 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 press of behavior in gaza strip and in other places and palestinian territories next a top u.s. war contract in iraq threatened 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 it 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 and i state the public purse to gators here in iraq at the curb
3:20 pm
further investigation that they describe stuff for the notorious security firm is out of control and that it was operating above the law but the american embassy sided with blackwater former state department official peter van buren 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 seems 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 just weeks after the death threat blackwater unit
3:21 pm
murdered seventeen people in the iraqi capital u.s. officials said they were shooting without cause and that innocent lives were lost no that it stopped the firm from getting other lucrative contracts it's believed it is sisted the cia's drone mission in pakistan also to blackwater 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 with that rule it turns out there was a double agent in burlington's mit's to secure the fading data to the n.s.a. we've got that story online also at r.t. dot com as well what's this surreal structure certainly it's a parody in a band in somebody's a electricity generator the scientists say is capable the power of the whole country when it's up and running now that it's powering tourism instead funny looking thing check that out if you see it r.t. dot com as well. to try and spur jobs and business we're often
3:22 pm
told by local outweigh this kind of tricky though in this globalised world for most of us but one frenchman tried to give it a go re a concert i went to find out how we fared surviving solely on french made products for nearly a year. frank skinner personally in this day and age the answer is ninety six point nine percent if you ask french journalist special. at ten. and then for most of us the. rules of this experience were to get rid of everything that was not french and only use products that god 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 government pleads to stick to french products to stem the country's decades long industrial decline the problem is that there aren't many products like that
3:23 pm
a purely francs 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 be made in front but it's not. but benjamin's biggest surprise was that shoppers probably don't know where their french like goods are really. today's rules of the european union are crazy if you take the shirt for example and you just so the buttons in front of 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 it is hard to support the french more than me according to some experts who claim the country's european commitments are opening the door to point competition and force in french companies out of business. we estimate that in france there is 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 what everybody around
3:24 pm
the world agrees on that but we go from one extreme to another where there's no regulation at all industrialization 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 approved purchasing with patriotism takes some effort but shoppers here are given it all and the hope of saving local businesses and keeping them in the country retail experts say there is 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 no secret to buy foreign products or get them manufactured applause. i love my wife 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 benjamins now by n.p.r. his borders again but he's paying more attention to labels and opts for ecological
3:25 pm
recycled products no matter where they come from moving the cost of reports in from paris or it. may be a lesson for us all there are a world news now to bring up to speed with first off two separate attacks on neighboring coastal districts in kenya has killed more than twenty people during the first assault on the police station releasing several detainees at the same time some of them linked to a previous terror attack in the second incident a heavily armed militants raided the trading center in the village of hindi there's a miserable she says it was behind both attacks bad weather reporting here rain storms battering eastern china into sunday it's caused landslides and cut off into sections at least one person is confirmed dead but that number could rise as rescue teams are still assessing the affected areas earlier in the week heavy downpours submerged streets and cause traffic chaos in the north and south of the country. three foreign engineers a belief of being kidnapped in libya amid the deteriorating security situation in

the country on saturday night security forces non-belief gaijin street battles in tripoli one soldier was reportedly killed fighting between pro-government forces and various armed groups has been on the rise since the downfall of colonel gadhafi in twenty and. thanks for choosing us international b. about the next live update from moscow in thirty four minutes time after the break here the story of a tight knit community of people living in tents in the u.s. struggling to keep the shelter continuing over there we'll bring you those stories and. 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 rest of people cannot be seized without
3:27 pm
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 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 a 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 pain.
3:28 pm
i marinate in the final. moments i mean it's. only taken the demand for credit. in life there. i know c.n.n. m s n b c on fox news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might take. off. for goods because one full attention in the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on you. and our teen years we have a different brain. because the news of the world just is not this funny
3:29 pm
i'm not laughing dammit i'm not laughing. at. you guys stick to the jokes well handled and they said ok. here we are in lakewood lakewood new jersey usa and what's going on in this town is really like unique in that there's a major what we call gentrification one group of people moving into the town and getting the lion's share of the housing and what it is is this new community is going in and they're they're buying up the homes but they're buying it up with the recycled taxpayer dollars see the ten it belongs to this group but also the landlord belongs to this group also so that the welfare money.
