5:05 am
a siege around the cities the humanitarian situation could become a disaster it was the last week has seen government forces take back control of several cities or since then military has reportedly begun a full blown purge arresting local police and young men on mars a video has also emerged of a radical right ukrainian deputy threatening a bound elderly man. was. all over we were so if you were god it. was. a local resident told us how would you feel so remain in slovyansk now that the city has been taken by government forces through. the go from street to
5:06 am
street from fire to flat and it's all about arrests they've arrested 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 phone 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 though are in shaking washington the state department has again voice its total backing for kiev days after a deadly but reportedly accidental bombing of a village in eastern ukraine our correspondent damaged as you can was at 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 defend the strike saying all those killings are the russian separatists fault basically the shots that we saw from the village of can last week could leave one speechless twelve civilians were killed including

5:08 am
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 you see ukraine i asked about this today jen psaki read it more cautiously on this than her colleague last week but the general impression is that the u.s. department of is trying to downplay the humanitarian crisis in the east of ukraine . how absurd it is running

5:12 am
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 eyes the rest of the world with this spying or with these huge fines on foreign banks the quicker that process is going to be to unravel. latest target of the u.s. and punitive financial machine is germany's second largest bank commerzbank accusing the institution of also violating the sanction regime and now it faces a fine of at least five hundred million dollars america's retaliatory measures like
5:13 am
this force states to seek ways to break the dollar dominance and it's not an easy task as a currency is used in some eighty five percent of global exchange deals but some countries are found ways to shift away from the dollar and the biggest example of that of course is the euro zone countries some of which are mung the world's economic powerhouses are making transactions with each other completely avoiding the dollar last year china has signed a massive currency swap agreement with the e.u. which allows countries to exclude the dollar from the equation when doing business with the blog and of course on monday the brics countries decided that they're going to form their own bank as a counterweight to the i.m.f. chair of the british group think tank robert oulds things the u.s. often resorts to force to make others use the dollar. united states if we don't defend the dollar with the force it's for military force that's been seen on a number of occasions with countries that have been all doing that they should move
5:14 am
