actions our view is that the training in security forces operations have been moderate and measured they've been taking steps to maintain calm within their own country and though many say the ukrainian military is justified in sanctions the country's parliament is hardly you know never saw an issue president poroshenko as praise for the army was met with a chilly response earlier this week. i mean. it should be a matter or. was it was it was. i mean there desirable. predicted national arab thousand one to government forces of pulled out of the cities of slavyansk incomer tosk which were hubs of resistance and the key targets of kiev's crackdown they withdrew towards the

regional capital done yet and the city of goal of reinforcement thousands gathered in support of anti care forces internet central square they waved banners calling for pace and appeared to kiev to stop its assault on the country's east refugees from the devastated cities of slavyansk and kramatorsk continue to flow into the region's capital and here's what they told r.t. . they were ready to. do their movie theater many more of those are pretty dumb when. we do you know you there you hear. the cheers of a lot of. you see these. in the meantime ukraine's national guard says it will come after fighters who are refusing to lay down their arms as well as others who have helped them in the newly retaken cities is mark slobodan international affairs lecturer at moscow state university

the reports out this morning is that they are already going door to door looking for people who might have remained behind health or are perceived as having helped the 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 note 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. giving the anti-government forces a relocation the us leading news channels once again proved that geography is not

its strongest side find out how c.n.n. came showing the city of slovyansk as far as on the crimean peninsula which became russia's territory a long time ago had to see dot com as well as for war on arabs and flows of the escalating crisis in the country. right to see. her street. and i think your. reporters. now this week the leader of the jihad this group now known as the islamic state has made a rare public appearance iraqi officials are still working to verify the video in which the self declared head of the renegade state delivers

a speech in the country's second largest city but the extremist leader was widely mocked when it turned out that he was supporting a watch to the period to be worth thousands of dollars the extremist group has been strengthening its positions capturing key oil fields in the region one of the latest major gains was the resource rich site on the iraqi syrian border. so let's take a look at how much land the islamic state group already has under its control well the black area substantial that we can see here is the self-proclaimed caliphate the straddles the border between syria and iraq the success of the islamic state group has seen a number of rebel factions in syria now pledge their allegiance to it and the group is eager to show off its military might to persuade other fighters to join their cause a parade of tanks and other combat vehicles some of them originally supplied by america was filmed in eastern syria iraq insists it can defeat the jihadists but as

they see catherine off now explains that could prove to be a tough task. to harvest formally known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this with a sham but now it's all 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 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 hat

a breakout from the special forces 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 on our way right now to 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 that they really wanted answers 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 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 about what those again do it was apparent just how fluid a conflict this was the frontlines 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 opar on t.v. cuckoo province iraq. bringing out the big guns in japan military

ambitions are growing faster in the country as it lifts the sixty year problem find to go overseas and gears up for its first exploded decades we've got warm ups coming up. the threat of terrorism the nature of terrorism is becoming increasingly internationalized a local governments which may be the case in afghanistan very limited and billy teeter curtailed that increasingly globalized spread what how do you really strike a balance here the farmers can help by not fighting brooks he was going to stop if we all start for the books he was going to somebody that would be peaceful if you drug. company example with this big success.

join me. in our. interview and much. only on past and on. in the weekly here on the international now reports are coming in that an israeli air strike has hit central gaza killing two palestinians this shortly after israeli police arrested suspects over the murder of a palestinian teenager whose autopsy suggests that he was burned alive.

his death sparked fierce clashes between the arab population and israeli law enforcement the boys believed to be murdered over the killing of three jewish teenagers whose bodies were discovered last monday at the incident said tensions soaring in the region within days israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and maybe thousands of homes while trying to find the jewish teen's killers but a senior adviser for the palestinians biggest political party told does that israel's response is over the top. because this is that of military occupation of a country against. people and civilians because of sweeping comas ation 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 have been fragmented and the tools to it in this world is up

to the state sponsored terrorism and the. excessive use of force as you have just shown have you heard anywhere else that there is a state that will simply kidnap an entire nation lissie xion communities because there are investigations and allegations so this whole collective punishment approach that israel has been using has to stop. meanwhile the pictures you can see now only added fuel to the fire there peer to show israeli police officers beating the cousin of the murdered palestinian teen who's an american citizen the recent crackdown on palestinians follows the brutal killing of israeli teenagers give an emotional coverage across western channels. sense that there will be some retaliation for these deaths it's becoming increasingly apparent that his promise to make hamas pay for the three teenagers found dead on monday there is a huge amount of grief at 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. but what the western mass media didn't report on the hundreds of palestinian families whose heartfelt grief for their lost children has been forgotten more than fifteen hundred palestinian children have died and six thousand injured by israeli forces that since two thousand the figures we can see here show now that is just one palestinian child killed every three days local activists fear that 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 terms of thousands of people who were injured during forty seven years of military occupation there isn't really an

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 these they are either the actions as cause or as the reason for the or purpose of behavior in gaza strip and in other places and police. and. there are more spy strains developing between germany and the united states it turns out there was a double agent. to use accused of feeding data to the n.s.a. get the full story at r.t. dot com. and also online for you this surreal structure hugely powerful soviet era lightning generator is coming back online but now it's powering tourism instead you can check it out on our website. your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't. call it different. your boss

repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still in poetry keep. nauru's. we post only what really matters at r.t. to your facebook news feed. now this week japan's ruling parties agreed to lift a self-imposed ban on overseas military operations for the first time since the second world war the protests spread quickly with people showing their anger in some extreme ways the video we're about to show you contains some graphic scenes one activist even set himself on fire and was taken to hospital with severe burns some ten thousand people rallied in tokyo where angry mobs clashed with police and attacked the prime minister's office the protesters criticize the government for failing to hold a referendum on whether or not to expand japan's military reach. defense

analysts say that the changes could affect the balance of power in the region as japan can now help its allies fighting overseas and this at a time when the u.s. is deploying extra troops to the area with more than eighty thousand military personnel spread across dozens of bases in the asia pacific region while some experts don't see this shift as particularly important others say it could make all the difference in any possible future conflict. further. more united in. the war. there or read. all this by the japanese prime minister to essentially change the constitution i see we have two very powerful countries china japan. japan is has

a military alliance with the united states so yes circe any kind of dust up between japan and tried 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 there are they have to. do thirds majority from both houses and then it will become. a referendum for the people what are they has done circumvented all of that undeclared resolution can't just reinterpret the constitution and that's a very dangerous power even if you agree with what he's doing the process by which he's doing it is to really go. for more news now for you from around the globe first part of a warehouse has collapsed in southern india killing eleven people including four women and a child laborers were working near the wall which collapsed after heavy rains another building collapse just eight days ago in the same state claiming sixty one

lives. elsewhere two trucks have slammed into a van in southwest china killing four people and injuring five more firefighters in the sichuan province managed to get out all the surviving passengers who were then taken to hospital and investigation is underway into what caused the accident. during the first assault government stormed a police station releasing several detainees this is an incident in kenya some of them linked to two previous terror attacks in the second heavily armed militants raided the trading center in the village of hindi the islamist group al-shabaab says it was behind both attacks. more headlines at the top of the next worlds apart looks at america's withdrawal from afghanistan and how it could affect an already unstable region.

when people talk about human rights violations usually involve some pro western protestors 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 u.n. is calling a human rights violation residents of the motor city or the former border city who are headed fifty dollars or more by. kind on 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 opinion. they see it with economic ups and downs in the final months day the length of the deal sank night and the rest because i think meat cake will be a prickly. clone

welcome to all the part of the conventional wisdom of the last make it fast 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 prefer. back yourself without endangering your neighbor all to discuss that i'm now joined by satire pakistan's national security adviser mr aziz thank you very much for being here thank you and i'm glad to be with you now i know that. a few months ago in the beginning of this year you were very warmly welcomed in 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 sergey 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. of government has come

a year ago and. so prime minister has basically draw this without peace and so peaceful neighborhood. countries so as a part of that i don't think that. relationship with wonder but because india is. is not in the american game those days i think so we have to have a even handed to both to do a good and no for the u.s. we have had some misunderstanding the last few years and now we are trying to or come dumb and move on to a strategic partnership with. the opportunity for much closer to chip is that i because we have had highs and lows in the past and know the convergence of interest that it is counterterrorism but that it is stability and understand that it is the overall and i think it is also probably decided that not to look at l.t.

show only from the indian perspective but indian prism but to look at openness option and then of course we have. mentioned which upcoming it now speaking about the convergence of interest it's clear that all three nations of the you just mentioned pakistan russia the united states have a common interest in regional security but of course they differ very much on how to. that secures at least russia and the united states the united states used to believe in votes on the ground russia generally opposes intervention military intervention where best pakistans that will be of course against all interventions and all our plans to change the us intervention the one is not is not achieved the subject of another thing did not realize that and so basically. this is a policy views of for example.
