3:05 pm
today's brahe was set of course the rhetoric coming from some fringe elements of the israeli media couldn't be doing more to inflame tensions consider that today the times of israel published this op ed entitled when genocide is permissible and which the actual genocide of gazans is explored as the only way to bring israel peace now the article was pulled down but not before archived versions of merged across the internet so for now we can only hope that calmer heads will prevail and that diplomacy will prevent the further slaughter of innocent civilians now let's break the set. ukrainian military jets are reportedly flying over eastern areas locals say they can hear the sound of explosions in the distance on friday the kindergarten of donetsk was bombed likely it was empty because of the summer break but still leaving members of course panicked over how best to try to protect the children or

many residents trying to flee dangerous balsa still getting caught in the crossfire . or. were. you really going to believe it was. in your part. the person. you could. care forces say they've taken control of two towns now outside donetsk is government troops attempt to fight to regain the self-proclaimed republics reports of the border between russia and ukraine. well would we can see in this new brain could definitely be described as a very dramatic status chelan in clashes there continued with the death toll including among civilian population also continuing to climb as residential areas often get called to the deadly crossfire when ukrainian army and to government also
3:07 pm
spiteful cities and villages the gaza city itself has claimed that at least five resident. powers humanitarian situation to see to remains very tan's electricity death has been castle for several days already also problems with the running water and the officials of the self-centered probably all of the guns a lot of the truth lead to a real humanitarian catastrophe and of course in this situation people continue to flee what they call the war zone where no next to the russian ukrainian border every day tens and sometimes even hundreds of people try to cross and the cross in itself very often becomes a very dangerous journey here's one local mayor who was among those organizing the recreation at the time of the intense five. the whole city is destroyed apartment buildings and private houses alike it's been going on for about eight days there was a pause in the shelling when we managed to take two buses full of refugees out of town then it stopped again transport fuel water we're trying to bring bread into
3:08 pm
town under fire. situation on the ground remains dramatic and so far unfortunately the phrase no any indication that it could become any better any time soon. despite the ukrainian conflict claiming more lives every day care was going through the supporters western backers the bar of ministration no plans to train and equip it irregular forces the national guard fighters while the e.u. squad are lifting a ban on supplying ukraine with weapons and to farm reports. this move by the european union has certainly angered moscow the u. has lifted a ban on the supply of military equipment and technology to the ukrainian government but russia's foreign ministry says this amounts to double standards because that ban was actually imposed last february prevent the then president using such equipment against anti-government protesters but it now seems ok to use the very same equipment in the ongoing conflict in the east of the country which moscow fears could inflame the situation. was removed by the council of europe on the
3:09 pm
quiet according to moscow which has gone on to say the e.u. is not applying logic to the situation and is in fact just reacting to being prodded by washington washington meanwhile has announced plans to fund train and equip the ukrainian national guard we should point out that this is not part of the ukrainian regular army it's a subsidiary if you like that was recently set up that includes conscripts and also members of the far right including the right sector which is another concern for moscow the pentagon hopes to fund something like nineteen million dollars although this is still subject to congressional approval. the west putting pressure on russia then accusing moscow supplying self-defense fighters with arms. as it's another example therefore of double standards. it is blatant hypocrisy not only as the russian foreign ministry said because they wanted to ban such
3:10 pm
supplies to have a code which but are now giving it to this what but because the actually refuse to treat this as a conflict in the first place it's simply a rebellion in the loot so called legitimate ukrainian authorities are involved in the security operation to restaff law and order if they raise more weapons coming the ukrainian government's way more training more where it looks pretty green for the self-defense forces this will only embolden it to go all the way in using indiscriminate violence in resolving the issue in the east itself way . and getting the pictures but getting the job done of being a journalist for some journalists anyways getting increasingly difficult to underline that an american journalist for artie's rockley video agency's been for study ukraine she was detained while filming in the west of the country after her ukrainian colleagues tipped off security services. and that's where the camera you
3:11 pm
know just there was a rather nice sticker on my tripod and straightaway said you know russia today first of all they questioned me themselves about seven. i gave them all the details that could give them i gave them my press cards i had nothing to write and they're my colleagues. i wanted to give them all the information they needed and. fifteen minutes later three policemen came and three officials came from the national security service in ukraine and they were asking me so many questions taking all my details and then when they didn't they didn't believe that my american passport was real i shouldn't picture of it so they followed me to the hotel until they could see the actual passport they asked me that i absolutely had to give my foot into a and they had to raise it. first of all they put it on their computers so some.
3:12 pm
specialists has it right now they have all the footage that it took of myself being questioned and also at the protest. and even back to me it was blank that's one case was far from the first time a journalist who was a country for a bit over a dozen cases t.v. crews have been barred from entering ukraine or sent away as soon as officials saw the russian id papers this latest case that was the first to target an american citizen last month british journalist graham phillips also working for a was arrested and thrown out of ukraine. president is calling for parliament to be dissolved off for more money because refused to label the self declared depended authorities at least as terrorist organizations it's a move that the director of studies at the institute of democracy and cooperation and thinks will bury the legitimacy of the current authorities. basically a lot of ukrainian politics is explained by money and obviously the war is costing money ukraine is on the brink of default and some of the political parties who. are
3:13 pm
controlled by oligarchs in it let's never forget the role of oligarchs is absolutely key in ukrainian politics now the new president poroshenko discovers that actually he needs to purge the parliament he needs to stigmatize people who don't agree with his policies and above all he and his cronies the government itself the minute the prime minister and the other ministers they are of course trying to rig the elections by changing the electoral law in advance of the polls so that they get the parliament they want it's obvious that this is worthy of a banana republic this is not what it were the behavior behavior of a european state. people in several european cities remembering vio desson massacre that so forty six people killed three months ago activists gathered in the spanish capital madrid to pay their victims their respects and this is what's happening in rome a little bit earlier on where people held a small demonstration to denounce fascism and then four dozen black balloons were

3:16 pm
so picture. from around the globe. look to. me. president barack obama's admitted the us did tortured people after the nine eleven attacks the confession follows a highly anticipated report on the cia's so-called expansive methods of interrogation. reports. the final declassified version of the senate intelligence committee's report on the cia's torture practices has been handed back to congress intelligence committee chairwoman dianne feinstein said the reports use that is chilling and far more systematic and widespread than we thought she said the six hundred page document is said to reveal new and shocking details about the cia's detention and interrogation program in the years following the nine eleven
3:17 pm
attacks those who reviewed it say it shows that the use of the techniques was not effective in collecting unique intelligence or for. president obama speaking ahead of the public release of the record reminded that when he became president he signed an executive order to stop. torture. we did some things that were contrary to our values. although it was not his administration that was responsible for the program the cia under john brennan did their best to preserve secrecy around the deeds of the previous administration the cia even tempered with the investigation this thursday the cia inspector general concluded that the agency personnel hacked into senate investigators computers and removed documents from their system back in march john brennan vigorously denied that the agency had done that this week he was forced to admit that the cia officers did hack into investigators computers have
3:18 pm
too many lies and scandals the report is finally being declassified however it stops short of using the word torture to describe the practices lawmakers say it's because such an accusation could have political diplomatic legal and even criminal implications. former f.b.i. agent coleen rowley for example report the tarnish the u.s. public. starters the cia was afraid of this report they didn't want the american public to know what they had done in terms of the black sites and the authorizing waterboarding etc that's obvious because they destroyed the tapes from before i mean there's been all kinds of cover ups on this unfortunately it's going to be kind of a tolerance of the executive branch lying to congress and all of our democratic system well we'll be heard because at best if congress cannot oversee this well we were looking at a really different form of government than what we call ourselves
3:19 pm

3:21 pm
message across some of it used brutality in fact to send a message are those look try to show how effective they are. in terms of fighting and part of it also using it to recruit fighters were trying to explain and putting the best image of what their ideological beliefs into to recruit followers. it's not just a well organized media the self-proclaimed islamic state rapidly assuming the tributes of a genuine nation has got its own legal code strict spread of sharia law that it is it's got a budget estimated that the round two billion dollars some of which was stolen some donated by general sponsors in the gulf it's also controlling vast oil fields up to snatch him from syria and iraq along with a pretty powerful army no more than seven thousand strong plus never expanding arsenal as well the persecution of christians by iraqi islamists militants is seen thousands protest in sydney and melbourne australia as iraqi community warns that

3:23 pm
wrong why the driver lost control ferry service is it goes that saying from the station has been halted for a while. romania's capital bucharest is said to be one of the most earthquake prone spots in europe but they've suffered trauma from time to time wasn't bad enough for residents now the government seems no rush to help them protect their homes either as it appears can offer ports. lilian one piano has been living in this building most of her life first working as a manager and leader getting a flat of her own on one of the top floors and even though it's officially been determined that it may collapse true fuses to move anywhere else that that. this house a strong nothing happened before it can withstand an earthquake it was designed by a famous well architect and. out of all the e.u. capitals bucharest has the highest risk when earthquakes small tremors occur every year but in the twentieth century there were two major quakes as well the one

thousand nine hundred seventy seven left more than fifteen hundred people dead and injured up to eleven thousand. but all of this is often even ordered by the residents. the government's ready to give loans to owners to reinforce their buildings but they refuse is because the people who agreed and moved out were promised that it wouldn't be for long and then in some cases it took up to ten years most people simply do not trust the government now throughout the years only twenty six houses have been reinforced using this program. well around four thousand buildings in bucharest are believed to be in danger in the case of a strong earthquake they're marked with special warning signs but even if they weren't often you don't have to be an expert to figure out there are a hazard it's not only about the risk to those living inside these buildings many especially the taller was have been falling apart even without any major earthquakes and often pieces of plaster fall down right on the heads of the
3:25 pm
pedestrians yes there was the this is been his since one nine hundred seventy seven built in the main nine hundred twenty s. this building is also in danger of collapsing previous earthquakes left scars all over the structure would due to the low rent this also doesn't scare off neither its tenants nor the owners despite the obvious that. if a major earthquake strikes it will go down up believe me. experts say a major tremor shakes bucharest every thirty to forty years which means the next one may not be too far off you go to school not r.t. look arrest. the selection of programs coming up show off the break here on out international max and stacey here on why american corporate big shots want to move the businesses across the atlantic and if you watching us in the u.k. i should return will be along take you through some of the stories you might not see elsewhere so come on out.
