good morning to you we're live from moscow this morning you're watching arch international you're with me tongue would say. kim has broken its promise not to attack urban areas in ukraine's east now the region second biggest city of god says come under mortar fire. this video appears to show the city's outskirts coming under an intense barrage and these are pictures from a dash camera that captured the moment a shell hits a car. this

is what was left of the vehicle so far two people lost their lives in the raid on lugansk and dozens of buildings were left in ruins. in the neighboring dummy as a bridge was blown up while a call good train was crossing completely blocking the road connecting to the city's local authorities say it will take at least a month to repair done on antigovernment protesters has brought the region to its knees badly damaging its infrastructure. you don't really know what her brother was your abuser three you want you can restrain your friggin they want to know what if you don't really have a new wife or what we're here for not to hear from out of b.p. . well early here you would you want to be with we want you to work you know the memory of your family with my daughter yes we. sure. we moved. you.

know you in the room. last week has seen government forces take back control of several cities in the east since then the military has really put in the begun a full blown purge arresting local police and young men on moss a video has also emerged of a ukrainian deputy threatening a bound elderly man. do you know your own. never actually yes i think i just talked about over the moon. all over so i think you were god if. you were going with. what was that much of this is. a local resident told us how it feels to remain enslaved canal the city's been

taken by government forces take a listen but. the go from street to street from flyer to flight and it's all about arrests they've arrested the entire police force and drove all the personnel to god knows where we have no idea what's happening to them people who are supposedly supporting the anti-government movement are missing they don't answer the phones and no one knows what's going on with them you'd be putting your life in danger if you try to find that out the images of destruction and suffering they are in shaking washington the state department has again voices total backing for kiev is after a deadly reportedly accidental bombing of a village in eastern ukraine others want to go again was the latest state department briefing. you know we see all these horrible shots from villages towns that were shelled by the ukrainian air force and you hear the state department defended the strike saying all those killings are the russian separatists fault

basically the shots that we saw from the village of conventional to last week could leave one speechless twelve civilians were killed including a five year old this however did not generate any strong feelings at the u.s. state department these are just that's the reason why are these pictures these are shots of civilians blown to pieces in their homes in their backyards in the village in eastern ukraine last week well what does the u.s. do to stop you from doing it and they're going to make sure to leave them to be clear on the ground the reports that we've seen and the vast majority of people who are reporting from the ground report that the russian backed separatists are the ones who are not only in gauged in in violence and efforts to take over buildings and attack people and innocent civilians they have no place doing that in a country that's

a sovereign country like ukraine the ukrainian security service itself says the shelling of congress could have been a pilot's mistake but the u.s. state department is staunchly defending king of no matter what mistakes the government if ukraine is defending the country if ukraine and i think they have every right to do that as does the international community and these people have the right to live. well i think the people of ukraine have the right to live in peace and security without russian backed separatists attacking their homes and going into buildings and i think that's where the root cause of this is and we shouldn't we shouldn't forget that fact last week another state department spokesperson doubted the sources of a u.n. report that talks about a sharp increase in the number of people fleeing ukraine into russia a spokesperson suggested maybe they're going to russia to visit their grandmothers even though there are so many reports of. the horrors that people face and. why they really flee from you see ukraine i asked about this today jen psaki tried it

more cautiously on this than her colleague last week but the general impression is that the u.s. department is trying to downplay the humanitarian crisis in the east of ukraine. but our web site is running our live updates section on ukraine with all the latest as it comes in but there's also plenty of all day for you including a look at who is to blame for the crisis in the east and why. the u.n. secretary general has confirmed that in syria two cylinders seized by government troops reportedly in a rebel held area contains a deadly sarin gas that's close live to artie's policy now joins us with more paula we know the gas has been blamed for causing hundreds of deaths in the conflict now doesn't make it any clearer who was behind it. well the united nations secretary-general ban ki moon has confirmed that two cylinders that reportedly contained the deadly seven guests and that which were found by the

government troops of syria in an area that was controlled by opposition fighters has indeed been handed over to both the united nations and the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons now these organizations have been overseeing of the destruction of syria's chemical weapons program and they have been indicated that they have analyzed the contents of these cylinders and that indeed inside the cell and guess what is not yet clear is when in fact these cylinders were handed over and also it's not yet clear whether in fact they have been destroyed in a statement that was issued by the damascus government they said and i'm quoting that abandoned chemical weapons that did not belong to it were found by syrian government troops now damascus has agreed to destroy its entire chemical weapons program and this agreement was made after a deal was hammered out by russia and the united states it came after hundreds of

people were killed in a gas attack in the outskirts of damascus last year and the deadly sarin gas was used in that instance from june between teeth through which the last part of the transfer of syria's chemical weapons program took place. middle east cross one and there from tel aviv with the latest on syria thank you the blame game over who carried out the chemical assault has been the focus off into debates for many months but the adult postell from other messages that institute of technology believes the latest findings. lights on the real author of the crime. the big question from my point of view is who actually executed this attack in the west the prevailing position at least of the united states has been that the syrian government executed the attack the russian government has stated that they

believe the evidence shows that. that rebels sob rebel group executed the attack this is finding tends to suggest that the russian point of view is more likely to be correct so it's quite important the joint point of view of the political debate that's going on in the u.n. . the rampage of extremists in iraq isn't limited to brutal force coming up we report on how the terrorists use a whole arsenal of strategic tools from p.r. team was still blowing on the government as part of the bid to me this led me. to success. also coming up washington keeps trying to patients report suggests that the cia recruited a german intelligence agent to spy for america.

the french finance minister is aiming to break the head to money the us dollar after urging the use of a variety of currencies full global payments this comes after america slept a nine a billion dollar fine on b.n.p. paribus bank for helping countries avoid sanctions investment broker and financial commentator peter schiff says the u.s. currency is the perfect global currency of choice i think the united states is very dependent on the rest of the world it's just incumbent on the rest of the world to figure that out but the u.s. dollar is still functioning as a reserve currency and so the dollar is a part of a lot of transactions but there really is no reason for the dollar to be at the center of these transactions because the dollar shouldn't be the reserve currency of the united states doesn't share any of the characteristics that it had when the dollar became the reserve currency it's just a matter of time before it no longer functions as

a reserve currency and i think the more we tag and eyes the rest of the world with the spying or with these huge fines on foreign banks the quicker that process is going to be to unravel. the dollar dominance is no easy task at all as it's used in some eighty five percent of global exchange deals but some countries have found ways to shift away from the currency and the biggest example of that is the eurozone of course eighteen countries some of which are among the world's economic powerhouses are making transactions with each other completely avoiding the dollar last year china signed a massive currency swap agreement or with the e.u. which allows the country to excluded the dollar from the equation when doing business with the block and on monday the brics countries agreed to form their own bank as a counterweight to the i.m.f. chair of the bruges group a think tank robert oulds of things the us often resorts to force to make others

use the dollar. the united states really does defend the dollar with of course its military force now it's been seen on a number of occasions where countries that have been arguing that they should move away from using the dollar out of the new found themselves subject to the united states sanctions and of course even in some cases military force so every day there is a great deal of concern about not just the why america vaughn's its economy its enormous deficit which is now reaches seventeen trillion dollars a day but of course the way that american foreign policy is very active around the world which some people do not want. coming up a year later honored see one chalet and not play you while you can but i'm tired vote and it's only now for a very good prize will tell you all the details later in the program. and

hold a traditions in the u.k. i begin with new comedy that's all coming up for you shortly after this break. it's. very hard to take a. look at that fact with their look at.

the. the fact that. everybody thought of doing the job should you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy shred albus. rule. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press several we've been hijacked trying handful of powerful transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem. and rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing that define ready to join the movement

then walk in the big picture. thanks for staying with us here on our team a samia iraqi general an army commander has been killed by radicals from a terror group for money known as isis which is not taking the country ancient shrines have become the latest victims of the extremists who went as far as declaring an islamic caliphate on the territories they captured in iraq and syria are just monopod by has more on their rampage. in a very short amount of time the extremist group controlling parts of iraq and syria has taken rapid steps to turn their self declared islamic caliphate into a bonafide state according to reports the militant group best known as isis is ready to begin issuing official passports to citizens in most school iraq's second

largest city as well as making our broad religious call to arms isis is also allegedly proving judges doctors engineers and those who have military and managerial skills the work force that isis is attempting to build will need to be paid of course not a huge problem for the sunni extremists who are virtually in control of iraq's largest oil refinery according to reports isis has already tried raising revenue through oil sales and lots of money's been spent on image building as well the militants have been releasing annual glossy assessment reports outlining statistics related to things like assassinations suicide missions bombings and geographic expansion the organized p.r. move aims to lure more investors and fighters it's a level of organization unprecedented for islamist militants in the region and while isis already claims to have an army of more than fifteen thousand loyalists

it was a glowing a growing level of instant insecurity among among the leading officials in the united states but. allies they seem to suspect that there may be discontent and the reality is with so many of the leaks that we've recently seen so many countries that have historically worked with the united states are starting to wake up and say wait what are we getting out of this relationship that seems to be something that's happening so much in so many different countries whether it's the the tapes recently released from poland which some of these memos that are coming out everywhere it's happening that longtime allies of the u.s. are beginning to question what they're really getting out of this relationship geopolitical stage is drastically changing and the fact that germany is getting closer to china and russia and china are cooperating with each other this is this is a real big game change in the field of global politics anti intel you know all kind of villages being sold on the way well it's located and they go through in the region and that pocket of those fourteen lives seemed the prize

a bug in despite the need for renovation the asking price for the entire village is two hundred and forty five thousand euros this might be a great mountain for some but political analysts believe such deals are the result of the u.p.a. and economic crisis. this is not the first case need to be actually of villages which are being sold but this is the first time actually that people leave in those houses and they decide to quit the place selling everything and try to change lives evidently it doesn't mean that it's easy the economic situation for that also suffer in france or suffers of similar situations where the number of customs for sale is credibly high and they're relatively cheap agriculture has been subsidized but finally. the wind is not allowing these people to really make their living out of it so with cutting in the in the budgets this is reflected in the

lists of the less infrastructures less services and in perspective for these people the only thing to do is to sell and runaway. well it turns out these days of the real estate market candace are up a lot of surprises snapping up but there's a brick building in manhattan were cost you fifteen million dollars just compared with this of fifteenth century costal in ireland that can be yours for less than a million and the emerald island certainly has something more lavish to offer at a fraction of the prize than in new york there you go and if you prefer something more to the south there are also other castles up for grabs here's a selection of ads from belgium france as well as italy once again on sale for far less than the fifteen million price tag in new york.
