5:02 am
weapons of mass destruction and warned they could easily be smuggled out of iraq a u.s. government official told reuters news agency the materials are not believed to be enriched uranium and therefore meet make it difficult to make into a weapon it's also been revealed that islamic state the militants the group formerly known as isis captured a facility on june eleventh about thirty five miles southwest of baghdad which was once offered by saddam hussein's regime and is believed to contain two thousand five hundred degraded rockets filled with potentially deadly sarin and mustard gas but u.s. officials have downplayed the risk claiming the materials are too old to be useful however given the instability within the country and its proximity to syria this is still a very huge worry. as lindsey mentioned the militants have made significant gains in recent weeks as seizing entire they've already paraded combs of tanks and even a scud ballistic missile on the chemical sites isis took in iraq contained
5:03 am
a number of deadly ages including sarin sinéad and mustard gas and now the jihad does have nuclear materials which could be used to make a bomb but u.s. congressional allies that paris says washington is downplaying the crisis. it is a very serious development in regard to how you know when i was dismissed now of course in washington going to be a debate about is this really propaganda from the iraqi government or is this real i don't want if this material has been taken by. others you have a fashion it's not just about the material it's about what can this organization you just know do you go to school or not. necessarily nuclear material but it dirty bomb could be the outcome so i think that the next few days the united states government of both executive and the congress are going to focus on this issue but at the same down they're going to try to downplay it because of the seriousness of it and they don't want to get political crisis before they make sure of what this
5:04 am
material is. there was u.s. congressional into terrorism adviser walid phares they now say with r.t. for the latest on this developing story. israeli airstrikes on gaza have killed a family of eight including five children early on thursday and among some twenty people who died in the worst overnight air raid on gaza since the current offensive began we know israel has was intensive to intensify its shelling of the enclave. so the mad dog got me to talk. that's what i want whenever. i want to look at that moment that's come in for. was that it was was. i.
5:05 am
was i was i. i was was. routed ok seventy five listing is have been killed inside the strip in the past two days and nearly six hundred injured many houses destroyed by israeli rockets to an even belong to hamas militants that's why half of all the casualties are civilians israel's leadership is pushing for ground offensive with potential deployment of up to forty thousand troops the united nations is warning that the situation is dangerously close to a full blown war our correspondent policia is in the area. on the israeli gaza border where the mood is extremely tense throughout the course of the day we've been hearing is radie warplanes dropping the deadly cargo on gaza which is just a short distance behind me this is actually the closest you can get to gaza from the israeli side and every so often you see these huge plumes of smoke that show
5:06 am
where these raids strikes have hit as is always the case it is civilians that are also being injured and killed in this israeli operation that is now in its second day at the same time here in southern israel the mood is also very very tense there has been the red alert which is essentially a siren warning people that the iron dome anti-missile defense system is being launched to intercept a rocket some gaza people have been ordered to stay inside bomb shelters in. cities as far afield as both to slim and television even cities that are further one hundred forty kilometers from the border the iron dome has been activated to stop these long range missiles making their way there from the gaza border thousands of reservists have been called up as you drive these route roads you see israeli soldiers on some kind of movement so this certainly is something happening on the ground the latest word from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that
5:07 am
hamas will pay we are hearing from the hamas leadership that unless israel stops with its operation it will continue with its bombardment of rockets policy r.t. on the israel gaza border. and we earlier talked to activate from our your front thermo from the we went for international foliage our team he believes that israel is treating palestinians just like it always has. it continues like this escalating i think we have to prepare for the worst it's just a continuation of the occupation that's there for tens of years on the grounds of the blockade of gaza still the checkpoints are stupid so they get killed and the rest of regularly in the occupied territories but i think it's nothing new or the numbers of four palestinians children in israeli prisons grew up to seven hundred. for every very child killed there are fifty palestinian to have been killed this girl feels no pressure to change what they are doing now and so they try to hit as

5:17 am
the country's military firing back it happens very often that shells land in quite unexpected places in the city center and many residents have already fled the city and people continue to leave people were terrified by promises from kiev to surround the city of donetsk and lugansk and fears were rising that it could become useless beyond them a tourist to the centers of the operation for months where clashes were very fierce and very deadly but the ganske is a very big city with a population of more than four hundred thousand people while deniece gets home to one million people and concerns were rising the consequences of such strategy also will be bigger and there. in a room with that view of a team of international monitors who recently visited thirteen the army had been besieging and pounding flabby uncle shelf for months and the observers say they were shocked by what they saw. the there was quite
5:18 am
a bit of devastation there obviously we were the first international body to get into this city there is very no electricity no water like a food supplies a.t.m. machines were working and it's basically a ghost town right now more than half the population has a lot of people according to our monitors people there felt very kind of alone and almost abandoned. ever since february screw in kiev ukraine has been firmly in the headlines over the conflicts in the field and the battle over i guess the plies but but some in washington that's opened a whole new way to cash in on the changes by amateurs you can explain. for some top u.s. officials ukraine is not just about politics it's about business family and friends but one connection leads to another and the business is now finding its way into the u.s. congress. a week after vice president joe biden's son joined the board of ukraine's
5:19 am
largest gas producing secretary of state john kerry's formas senate chief of staff signed on to lobby congress on behalf of that same ukrainian energy company another gentleman from team kerry joined the von archer who was once john kerry's advisor and been learning his presidential campaign these people are no strangers to each other divonne archer and joe biden's son have worked as business partners with john kerry's son in law christopher heintz oh yes and buddhism of their new employer is controlled by. former ukrainian government minister all of these sons and friends of u.s. officials say they're on their own that they're disconnected from the decision makers in washington but of course nobody can stop them from benefiting from the policies adopted in the buildings around here members of congress are already writing letters saskin to provide us funding for ukraine's domestic energy production here is one of the senators. i think if we are going to be helping them
5:20 am
with new technologies and we should we should have a telescope time frame that we create them for doubling of natural gas production inside of ukraine and we should set those goals set benchmarks and then let's meet them and help us make sense of this house of cards where one connection leads to another where it's all business and it's all personal here's craik. it's not just about lobbying for this one particular firm in ukraine right a u.s. state department spokesperson told congress this tuesday that ukraine's entire gas supply and production system is corrupt and needs fixing and the u.s. of course can help and one can only wonder what u.s. companies and what individuals would benefit from that fixing what do you think well we don't have to wonder too long because what we've seen is a scandal here we're. well connected relatives cronies of.
5:21 am
very influential what specials are already on board and it where i'm in the center of what happened after one of the there were all kinds of conferences how americans and american companies could make money out of the situation buying influence in washington is not called corruption in america it's called tapping into new opportunities in washington i'm going to check on. what's true because mostly like these still roving around russian streets of the country isn't quite the champion of modern public transport well have a look at what happens when one of russia's top ten plane factories waves in check out what its brainchild of the so-called a bad traveler looks like we're both from inside and out on our team's website. also on line a prominent canadian ecologist you once a decided to jump out of a dream i had had another change of heart he says global warming is just a fantasy and ones of a global cooling. right

5:24 am
city and if you tried we could probably track down representatives of every race religion culture and nation but here's the thing according to a new report by the social integration commission think tank london may be diverse but people are sticking to their own kind of capital is the place in britain where ethnic communities mix the least we do think of london as being a melting pot we do think of it as being the most diverse part of the country diversity does not automatically lead to integration when we look at a school playground and we see that white kids are playing with white kids black kids with black kids middle class on their own working class on the road i think is a gut reaction that that most of us would say that that is a bad thing that we want some kind of mixing better there's a growing trend for white britons to leave the capital for other areas prompting concerns the city could be sleepwalking into ghetto like segregation is probably an
5:25 am
element here in london where people living busy lives commuting long distances so their free time in london is probably less than is elsewhere in the country and then where they're choosing to spend that free time is with people who look to a greater or lesser extent like them this isn't about saying hello to people on the boats this is about a little bit further having a conversation on the books so it's a step further from diversity in toleration into something a little bit deeper and that's where we see those divides coming a little bit clearer and those dividing lines could lead to greater fragmentation right. then integration. up next to the man feared by the banks and loved the bible people that is up next on the kaiser report.
