they are among the main destinations for refugees who are fleeing the government shelling and there are fears that in case of a siege developing around the cities that are just showing another human terry a situation there could become a disaster now the last week has seen government forces take back control of several other cities since then clears military has reportedly begun a full blown persia arresting local police and young men are massed a video has also emerged of a radical right ukrainian deputy threatening a bound elderly man. all up we were very good he was.

you hear the state department defend the strike saying all those killings are the russian separatists fault basically the shots that we saw from the village of qana 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 all 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 said about why they really flee from ukraine i asked about this today jen psaki traded more

a long term offensive against hamas in gaza in the early hours of this morning fifty sites were hit by the israeli air force firing from both the sky and the sea at the same time there has been a call up in a mobilization of the israeli army for a possible ground offensive we are hearing from the israeli army spokesperson who says that the israelis will continue to escalate the strikes over gaza there has also been hundreds of reservists who have been called up the operation is being dubbed operation protective edge its goal is to stop the rocket fire from gaza and also strike at home us in recent weeks there have been some of the good rockets and mortars that have been fired from gaza into southern israel last night in the space of just a few minutes some eighteen projectiles were fired the situation has been escalated ever since the killing of three jewish israeli teenagers and the murder in what is expected understood to be a revenge attack of an arab teenager the situation has seen so far eight

palestinians who were killed on monday now the israeli say that they are targeting specifically the rocket launching pads they are targeting the military infrastructure and the homes of militants in the gaza strip but the gaza health ministry has said that many people who are being brought into hospital are civilians who are suffering from either a sharp all delight to serious shrapnel ruse the whole south of israel is in a state of shock shut down there are sirens that are constantly being sounded and at the same time residents have been ordered to remain inside the home so the situation is escalating by the minute two sides are on high alert to the middle east correspondent in tel aviv giving us the latest on that story thank you right new details in the blame game over who carried a chemical assault in syria have come into the light that's awful. firm's deadly sarin gas was inside two cylinders reportedly found in rebel held areas in syria.

coming up we'll report on how the terrorists use a whole arsenal of strategic tools from p.r. to whistle blowing on the government as part of a bid to meet this law make it to success. the french finance minister is aiming to break the dominance of the u.s. dollar after urging the use of a variety of currencies for global payments this comes after americans left a nine billion dollar fine on b.n.p. parables bank for helping countries avoid sanctions now investment broken financial commentator peter schiff says the u.s. currency is far from 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 the 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

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 advised 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 latest target of the u.s. punitive financial machine is germany's second largest bank of commerce bank america is accusing the institution of also violating the sanction regime and now it faces a fine of at least five hundred million dollars america's a retaliatory measures like this are for states to seek ways to break the dollar dominance is not an easy task at all as a current currency is actually used in eighty five percent of global exchange deals but some countries have found ways to shift away from the dollar and the because it . sample of that is of course the eurozone eighteen countries some of which among

the world's economic powerhouses and making transactions with each other completely avoiding the dollar lost yet china signed a massive currency swap agreement with the e.u. which allows the country to exclude the dollar from the equation when doing business with the blog and on monday the brics countries agreed to form their own bank as a counterweight to the i.m.f. chair of the british group think tank robert oulds things us often resorts to force to make others use the dollar united states it 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 then found themselves subject to united states sanctions and of course even in some cases military force so really there is a great deal of concern about not just the way america runs its economy its enormous deficit which is now reaching seventeen trillion dollars.

but of course the worry is that american foreign policy is very active around the world which some people do not like. coming up for you later on r t one a chalet not enough for you well you can buy an entire resort in italy now and for a very good prize will tell you all the details later in the program. and the old traditions in the u.k. are being revived by new comers that's all coming up after the shop break. on marriage in the financial world. i mean. we take. you live there are there are fucked. play. the.

hello there the u.n. secretary general has confirmed that in syria two cylinders seized by government troops reportedly in a rebel held area contain deadly sarin gas and a letter to the security council the u.n. chief has said the syrian government claimed the substances were abandoned chemical weapons you want a chemical watchdog was also discussing with the country's authorities how to destroy the find as it is still unclear whether the cylinders have been eliminated are yet we're told to fear go postell from the message you said institute of technology who conducted an independent research after the deadly chemical assault last or goes near damascus he believes the rebels were behind those attacks but could never have produced seven without any outside help. well it is speculation but certainly. there have been reports here in the west that there was some of the hottest sunni jihadist elements

had been given help from the turkish government and. sarah precursor chemicals. to mix the sara what you have to be curse of chemicals. i would say it's easy but it's not completely out of the possibility that they could do that so they got help from somebody. perhaps the most likely source would be the turks. radicals from a terror group formally known as isis are in full throttle setting up the islamic caliphate they founded a week ago on trees captured in iraq and syria and the most agreed thing here is the like things are progress they now have all of the attributes of a fully functioning state including passports and oil based economy and even a banking sector which is worried about by a brings us more on this in

expansion the organized p.r. move aims to lure more investors and fighters it's a level of organization unprecedented for islamised militants in the region and while isis already claims to have an army of more than fifteen thousand loyalists the hottest group is reportedly recruiting and kidnapping children as young as ten years old to fight for the islamic state in addition to educating employing recruiting policing and campaign. waving ice is also confronting the downfalls of governing a state dealing with your very own whistleblower according to vice news the extremist group has somebody working on the inside reportedly revealing classified information such as the identity of leaders and all of these factors combined troubling picture of a threat hardly anyone anticipated. r.t.

a great amount for some political analysts paul or afford to believe such deals are the result of the european 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 the decide to quit the place selling everything and try to change lives doesn't mean that it's easy economic situation for them to see also suffer in france or suffers of similar situations where the number of castles for sale is incredibly high and the relatively cheap agriculture has been subsidized but finally is. when it's not allowing these people to really make their living out of it so with the cutting in the in the budgets this is reflecting of less in less infrastructures. and in perspective for these people the only thing to do is to sell and runaway. well it turns out these days

a real estate market can throw up a lot of surprises snapping up this brick building in manhattan will set you back a fifteen million dollars but compared this one to the fifteenth century castle in ireland that can be yours for less than a million that ever island certainly has something more lavish to offer at a fraction of the new york price now if you would read something more to the south of there are also other castles up there for grabs we have one in belgium france and italy these are some of our as once again all of the sales less than fifteen million dollars. when immigrants settle in a different country they often often bring along with them their customs and cultures but in the u.k. recent demographic changes haven't as much affected the country in terms of new traditions but rather bringing back old ones are first reports. if young british people are in church these days well it could be because they live

in one attendance of actual anglican services has long been in decline well it is leaders looking to come up with any number of simple meal plans to get worship is in but there is one small crumb of comfort for them and the latest figure is thanks to a change in demographics the fall in popularity is at the very least slowing because of the increase in the number of black were drawn to churches the increase in the rate of immigration and the increase in the number of new type of church called fresh expressions because of those increases the rate of decline of attendance and membership in the church as a whole has slowed down is said to be going to grant it is never going to. about it's not becoming a huge. budget is simply not going to quite as fast as it was before.

the break find out some more about the sea to of the us dollar as the international reserve currency in boom busts. when people talk about human rights violations you should involve some pro western protestors getting beaten up and response with 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 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 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 in 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. lendell
