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 no. 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. of course. and i find lots more on the fast moving developments in ukraine on our website and

also there for you a u.s. news channel proved its geographic knowledge of the stricken region might not be its strong point find out how c.n.n. came to place ukraine's eastern city of slovyansk hundreds of kilometers from where it's supposed to be. right to see. first street. and i think your. reporters. now this week the leader of the how this group now known as the islamic state made a rare public appearance iraqi officials are still working to verify the video in which the self declared head of the renegade state delivered

a speech in the country's second largest city but the extremist leader was widely mocked when it turned out he was sporting a watch that appeared to be worth thousands of dollars the extremist group has been strengthening its positions capturing key oil fields in the region and the latest major gains with the resource rich site on the iraqi syrian border. well let's have a look at just how much land the islamic state group already has under its control if you take a look at this black area on our map well that is the self-proclaimed caliphate which straddles the border between syria and iraq the success of the islamic state group has seen a number of rebel factions as well in syria pledging their allegiance to it and the group is also we get to show off its military might to persuade other firefighters to join their cause a parade of tanks and other combat vehicles some of them originally supplied by america that was filmed in eastern syria iraq insists it can defeat the jihadists but as our correspondent lisa careful not explains now that could prove to be

a tough task. harvests formally known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this. but now this is old daughter and one country is no more or less. the iraqi army meanwhile is fighting back in televised news briefings the government takes a victoria's tone. 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 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 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 seize so much territory so quickly. the finding has displaced hundreds of thousands of iraqis and many. marred 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 understand first hand how this war was playing out we're on our way right now to one of the front lines the village of magdala up until about five days ago isis insurgents he control that entire territory village that's on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the provinces that they believe 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 getting 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 that they would potentially take your coupe and move into the territories and that could be a massive battle just waiting to happen moments later we have to leave 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 take care of 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. or on t.v. cuckoo province iraq. for you know the big guns in japan military missions

welcome back you're watching the weekly t.v. into. reports are coming in that an israeli airstrike has hit central gaza killing two palestinians this shortly after israeli police arrested suspects over the murder of a palestinian teenager whose autopsy suggested he was burned alive. his death sparked fierce clashes between the arab population and israeli law enforcement boys believed to have been murdered over the killing of three jewish teenagers whose bodies were discovered last monday incidence and tensions soaring in the region within days israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes while trying to find the jewish teens killis a senior adviser for the palestinians biggest political party told us that israel's response is over the top of the case is that of military occupation of a country against people and civilians because 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 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 that of a state sponsor of the terrorism and the excessive use of force as you have just shown have you heard any word that there is a state that will simply keep an entire nation list seizure on communities because there are investigations and allegations so this whole collective punishment approach that israel has been using house to stop. these pictures here only made a tense situation worse they appear to show israeli police officers big the cousin of the murdered palestinian teen who's an american citizen 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 did not report on are the hundreds of palestinian families whose heartfelt grief for their lost children has been forgotten more than fifteen hundred palestinian children of died six thousand injured by israeli forces since the year two thousand these figures show and how that works out well it's not good reading one palestinian child killed every three days the 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 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. be the actions as cause as the reason for the or purpose of behavior in gaza strip and in other places and palestinian territories. yes. there are more spy strange developing germany in the united states turns out there is a double agent in berlin's midst who's accused of feeding data to the n.s.a. yet the full story altie dot com. handles online for you this is a real structure

a hugely powerful soviet era lightning generator is coming back online but now it's powering tourism instead you can check it out for yourself at our web site. 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 protests spread quickly with people showing their anger in some extreme ways the video we're about to show you contains some extremely graphic scenes one activist even setting himself on fire and he was taken to hospital with severe some ten thousand people rallied in tokyo where angry mobs with police and attacked the prime minister's office the protesters criticised the government for failing to hold a referendum on whether or not to its japan's military. or 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 comes 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 but while some experts don't see the shift is particularly important others say it could make all the difference in any future conflict. or. more. if. they don't read. all this by. is prime minister to essentially change the constitution by c.e.o. we have two very powerful countries china japan and japan is has a military alliance with the united states so if circe any kind of dust up between japan and tried then we're talking back to nuclear powers butting heads and i'm not

a little surprised that people are not maybe more concerned about this situation than they are they have to have two thirds majority from both houses and then it will become a referendum for the people what are they has done circumvented all of that and declared that his 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 completely legal. it's run it's more news to you now from around the globe first of all two trucks are 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 investigations underway into what caused the accident. as were two separate attacks on neighboring coastal districts in kenya of killed more

than twenty people during the first assault gunmen stormed the police station releasing several detainees some of them linked to previous terror in the second heavily armed militants raided a trading village in the village of a training center in the village of hindi the islamist group al-shabaab says it was behind both of those attacks. now to try and spurred jobs and businesses were often told to buy local that's kind of tricky though in this globalized world but one frenchman did try to give it a go green a cost of i went to find out how he fared surviving soley on french made products for almost a year. how french can a person really in this day and age but the answer is ninety six point nine percent if you ask french journalist venture karl the put a ten month ban on anything for most of 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 france 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 friends 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 love all 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 reports in from paris artsy. every. up next for you this hour will's appall takes a look at america's withdrawal from afghanistan and how it spreads to the stabilize the timing. of. science technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered rise of the islamic state or isis in the

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. 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 sergey lavrov what is pakistan's game here are you trying to play the russians against the americans though 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.
