gordon a couple wrong and i wanted to give more as a waterfall you want to warn me of my ship assume that it's a very good year old and drays family was fortunately not at home at the time of the shelling of the he says it would have killed gun. or do i think thank you so ukraine's airforce just hours ago to cease fire and date and he had resumed because it's an empty terribly aeration in eastern ukraine and you should see about that moving needle you heard but it was the dog with the book was a list of food in the foot of. it war it was kill you it killed the would choose to do with you it gives you the reason e.g. when you deal him with the meat you would need to do it with a degree he was a good neighbor if he didn't get a blue collar darling your board should be nurturing the floor as possible as it's a good seal skin is night suddenly we hear the sound of shells exploding you know

my foot or two up when we're going to shoot but here now i carry the national series you so we have to run now. on our way back we stopped by a local hospital. a day before the local power station was heat in another shelling since then there has been new running water and no electricity in order to. issue not settling for all children only to someone with whom you. stay. here but you knew what should we find alexander's father him and the injured he says he sees no point in leaving now that his wife's gone from her all. the slaughter moment a whole lot of you want in the know you are who are. it's getting dark and doctors tell us we'd better hurry up we come back to lugansk. is this up

to phone was generals going with our driver told us that this is the last checkpoint call static i would have shot the village and they were going bad and happened and they say they are surprised why we're also a little of the first target global zings and the checkpoint the nearest checkpoint is time to learn his way it seems that no one has an answer for this question. refuse eastern ukraine. and so they have funerals for those who were killed in the air strike took place and what was left of the village square one woman was burying both husband and her young son. will be the body for the family believed in beautifully. you need to do what you want to prove that the images that are coming you boys if you're looking in the book is the movie the puzzle of. the world it's a baby boy was able to go that there was read. the destruction

of congress shove can lead to heated debate in the week about how much force is too much here is our ally the united states rushed to its defense calling the army's actions quote an attempt to restore peace our view is that the iranian security forces operations have then moderate and measured they've been taking steps to maintain calm within their own country but disillusionment with the actions of ukraine's military has reached the country's parliament this is a lawmaker interrupted president petro poroshenko as he was praising the armed forces. of. shouted not altogether. was was you mean you mean a desirable idea people predicted national arabic thousands

so then a recap of the current state of play as we stand at the moment anti government fighters have left the cities of slow vans can kramatorsk which were the center of the resistance partly because they say both are indefensible and also because they say they couldn't prevent civilian casualties caused by government bombardment this is where they've headed down south they've pulled back towards the regional capital of donetsk to regroup they say and to reinforce. for its part the national guard says it will search for those who refuse to lay down arms in the retaken cities and question them. in international affairs lecturer at moscow state university told us that local see the army as the opposite of liberated here the reports out this morning is that they are already going door to door looking for people who might have remained behind who will help 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 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 are reconquered would be taken tilth women children and men would be taken to filtration camps not even really trying to hide the connection with concentration camps of course. this. just a few hours ago the city centers come under heavy artillery and with one civilian reportedly killed it's despite special assurances from the ukrainian army that it would not target residential areas in its.

political events so of the last week and before in detail on our web site r t v dot com there you'll find more images more analysis of what's really going on eastern ukraine. this week the leader of the jihadist group now known as the islamic state made his first public appearance see gave a sermon in the second largest city of iraq praising the creation of his islamic caliphate only occupied territories the militants and. major gains capturing a key oil field on the syrian border that's on top of the other resource rich sites they've already snatched from baghdad in fact let's take a look at the mouth and see how much land islamic state groups already got under its control is coming up here in black this area is the self-proclaimed caliphate no struggle huge area bordering syria and iraq the success of the islamic state groups been seen by a number of rebel factions in syria who are no pledging their allegiance to it as well the groups eager to show off its military might look at this to persuade other

fighters to join because this is a parade of tanks and other combat vehicles some of them american of american origin which was filmed in eastern syria iraq insists it can defeat that you know how this but as you see caffein off explains next it 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. 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. it is going from the information that the ice is looters have started to flee but on the ground we've found little evidence to back up those claims this used to be territory controlled by the central government but the iraqi army fled this area to see 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 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 again from two thousand and three it's coming back so it's a disaster actually things are getting worse we've gone to trial under stand first hand how this war was playing out we're on our way right now to one of the front lines the villages. up until about five days ago when isis insurgents you control that entire territory village that's on

a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces that they really want to access to a national gospel just to clear bits of it but there are still clashes ongoing and that's what we're getting 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 hardest to enter this territory if they can push through the defense 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 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 be here is that once again it was apparent just how fluid 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 for on t.v. cuckoo province iraq while the caliphate rolls out the u.s. is releasing hope for a billion dollars of military support to the moderate syrian opposition although it still fear that some of that money might fall into extremists hands investigative journalist mark karr told us america helped bring about the islamic state movement in the first place. ice this is not just creation of the syria or isis has its origins in iraq itself in the jihad is resistance to the u.s. occupation when they withdrew troops in iraq i'm up the so-called surge that was a very. well 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

a clever situation which is very probable that some iraq could fragment in just three stages because i can't see the moment of the time being any kind of six area movement that could overcome the division but everything are up to shreds. still to come as if what water's reputation wasn't bad enough the new york times now since a notorious security contractor threaten to kill the state department official trying to expose its criminal behavior during the iraq war that's coming up shortly plus two could you live your life i have absolutely nothing for a question well one frenchman's try that he gave it a go we'll tell you how he's near long project and locally. i'll be back with more of those stories right after venture capital the latest business update here on our take. the threat of terrorism the nature of terrorism is becoming increasingly internationalized the local governments which may be the case yeah in afghanistan

they're in limited in their ability to curtail that increasingly globalized threats one how do you really strike a balance here in the foreigners can help by not fighting drugs who are living in the west if we all start for i did drugs rather than i want to underline would be peaceful if you drag. the example of this big success. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here nor can you hear any right that are mixed or if the parents are headlines and talk there's a reason they don't want to know we're going to iraq raise that we don't really know let's break the set.

hello welcome to venture capital coming up we discuss banking secrecy in fines as well as facebook abuse fourth of july but call an american tim cabbage gives us a peek at his forever bulging. rush is the latest country to recognize the phenomenon that is the big quine the plan here he is to figure out how to approach the car as seen with regulations so as it stands is not illegal here unlike in china way it's officially bound as a vice president of the bank of russia said it's impossible to deny this instrument which might have although having said this that dulls still seem to be an air of caution involved to it recalls for its use on the black market for illegal drugs what is so small on the call and i'm now joined by car is the expert didn't you

will so do you think bitcoin has a future here in russia that. i actually think and read the cautious statements from the rational central bank more as an acknowledgement that monetary innovations are really a prerequisite for economic stability and resilience and then again corn is only one of the many that are on the menu to come and already had six positive experience with these occurrences particular in the transition after the fall of the soviet union so i guess this is really just a new phase of actually acknowledge in this directly and of course but cohen has the big marriage that's asking the regulators to make a public statement about this and then cater to flee in the spirit also this week we had a big day didn't weigh getting thirty thousand. and he's pledged to go to the emerging markets with that he's going to going to india south america parts of asia as well do you think with the big client that's where it belongs pretty well that depends how you define bitcoin of course if you talk about the payment protocol of bitcoin

this has huge benefits for the financial access and find some support in these markets we have traditional banking sectors retailing most of the population with our experience in developing countries particularly in kenya and south africa and brazil but it's really more the credit comes with. interest free and collaborative issue credit that helps local communities together to come in as a payment system is really of great adventures there that's also partly why we're at the university of payments for foreign students because that is way easier than using traditional banking systems and now europe should update its laurels to reflect the rise of does your current design what the hey it's all a bit coin startups head off a successful us. do you agree with this is it seen as broadening the a pail of bitcoin is now the time for more regulation. we're absolutely in favor of revising regulations in the light off these new currency that just came to the playing field with bitcoin making the news so prominently

they have always been. these conversations about the problem of currency that we already know of in europe now we are engaging actively again with the regulators in our you partners to show the central. front in the kind of currency from time to local currencies to business to business currencies and bitcoin has to write in an ecosystem or finance and actually deliver to their policies and to their communities on the ground directly and that has to be recognized in the legislation which is still written in a way as if money was only gold and it takes a quite a lot of effort to revise the terminology and understand what money actually means and of bins of all thank you so much for talking to us from sunny london today we really appreciate that as we know with the big wind it's a working progress is it as we always say. something everywhere isn't it has been a week of banking fines foes france's largest bank. agreed to pay

a record nine point five billion dollars to u.s. prosecutors the settlement is over allegations that france's largest bank violated trade sanctions that were imposed against trade with sudan iran. was goldman sachs the u.s. bank was fined eight hundred thousand dollars by u.s. regulator full failing to ensure that trades in its don't took place at the best price on dollar pulls all trading areas that keep prices private but they're still expected to offer the best prices available on the u.k.'s barclays could be next the british bank is accused of falsifying documents missed representing benefits to clients including pension funds in response to the finding of the case shares of the bank dropped five percent. a month in russia then banking data will soon no longer be private the tax man will now have the right to demand access

to anyone's a key. how details at any time washed in by those who also have to inform the tax service about the opening and closing of savings accounts within three days those procedure is aimed at preventing tax evasion so until now by mark rubenstein from your bank who is in law sky mall the question is will they smash a stop tax evasion hey very much stuff. this move rather this moves they definitely go in the direction that. russian government now wants and this is saudi and tax reform to go into it and that is the direction that there is that they are going to be and why the axis of texas authorities to their record is not only of companies but of individuals as well basically this is copying the current legislation for the state the state in terms of

a hog taxes in the in the developing countries where. in most developed economies tax authorities can gain access to the individual accounts and i think. this will suddenly. stop a some tax evasion in russia i think it will certainly send another signal to tax evaders and they will be forced to be sort of more inventive fifi fief i could say that but it differently and will have some impact in terms of tax collection do you think that it is invading people's privacy do you think it maybe is a step too far. well we do it certainly it certainly is and it is invading people's privacy. my view is that access to bank accounts should be only giving into the tack of stories when there

is or a little brown said. in the investigation of the. story you just usually terms of objectivity much oh gee it's got to be order. there we go low low low the target both orders to get our actions people back your call i just came into action there is a plane for mission which you just took a bank account of range of you joe i think that different. invasion of privacy came out queer leave it there thank you very much indeed for your time today talking to us from sunny most guy this time and on to a different type of fine entirely the next time you feel tempted to post a little abuse partners facebook page well don't well just because it's not nice but because you can't and up with a hefty fine for doing so i a thirty year old man from ireland has been forced to pay over two and

a half thousand dollars for posting abuse on his ex girlfriends page i don't know he just the friend the ex and or honesty is normally better that way this guy is the culprit isn't he was the happening here rough surface because post of russia is determined to solve the problem of mis imposed is ready to pay over half a million dollars for a brand new mobile to track parcels on their journey the apple two so locate the nearest post office fund the syrian government has signed an agreement with the russian company steroid gas the deal is to construct an irrigation project to fight drought in the northeast of syria and is worth over two hundred and a half million dollars russian problem could get one of the projects of germany's winters whole in argentina to do it would reportedly be part of the exchange of assets between the two gas mages i'm talking of gas problems the price of china

will pay for russian gas was revealed this week the various. ports point to the same place it is paid by many carli it was for that china would pay much less than a country that has been buying russian gas now for forty years. time for ten well even up to this week all last week it came up superstar all russian steel which is a great name for both a steel company and eighty's action movie or russian steel but the interesting thing is due to the crisis that's happening in ukraine a demand for steel increased and so they went up by three percent and i made about five hundred dollars if you could believe that so you're also one interesting thing about superstar is they're not only a company but they have their own dedicated hockey team not just some team that they put their our logo on the jersey but let's see who are going to invest in the this week you don't actually think we need to maybe stack this death with a couple of companies that are less successful because we just keep winning us of

all and it is all of the whoo waste money went on to explain that will get wasted money that means i have to waste one hundred dollars on something fun last time it was pizza and we're stuck with a superstar for bad or good for an ok well it's worked out well so far this is also not too bad to be stuck with that last time as well when you had waste money you didn't spend one hundred dollars on piece of pizza. best of luck with the math so. it's a native for a sale company this way we certainly are working for us and good luck oh thank you very much we will see in a week. and u.s. citizens of course celebrate his independence day this weight on the cost of doing so well it was more than i have a before because not idly with a file expanding but also food prices the cost of buff a favorite some talking about beef ice cream and even salad all sorts

prices to base sixteen percent now this. shrinking u.s. council has on the drought in california as well as all say the state's cynic save you all watching for america still not to see intelligence and had a great day and to everybody else as well i was eating steak that is meant to have to be done and dusted have a great time to buy. what people talk about human rights violations you should involve some pro western protesters getting beaten up and responsible mainstream media is usually to bomb somebody somewhere so good thing they haven't picked up a story from detroit that the un is calling a human rights violation residents of the motor city or well sadly the former motor city who are hundred fifty dollars or more behind in their water bills are getting

their water shut off completely the water and sewage department is five billion dollars in debt and that is a justification to crack down on deadbeats on the surface the seems like an open and shut case of course everyone has the right to water especially detroit which is near a huge bodies of fresh water that other cities could only dream of but on the other hand if the poor don't pay for water then us taxpayers will be paying for it for them and that's not fair i think this is not so much a case of a right to water but a right to decent employment and a corruption free city government back when people detroit had good salaries and a government that wasn't flagrantly corrupt they would have any problems paying for their water bills but that's just my pain.
