a hospital its second floor completely wrecked including walls furniture and of course the medical equipment. let's show you a video from a town just outside john and that is a church exploding into a fireball after being shelled as you can see right next to it is a children's playground here luckily empty at the time of attack and all of this happened in just one day but that crater right there well that's from a previous strike just a couple days before a short while ago i spoke to maria phenomena she's in the region. ukraine's national security and defense council has confirmed that the army is currently preparing to regain control over the major cities in eastern ukraine it is also now confirmed by the officials of what kiev calls its antiterrorist the region in these parts of the country they spokesperson has said that the military will take the city center towns and the villages street off the street building off to building without specifying which city will come first saying that it will either be dead or

lugansk these are big cities of course when these promises from cave to intensify the attacks the concerns are that there could be even more civilian deaths in less than four wants of the operation in ukraine more than one thousand people have already been killed ordinary civilians we just couple of days ago visited this city all the guns going we saw a very dramatic picture on the ground many have already scaped the town but many are still inside and they're hiding in the basements they're living under constant shelling fison is also continuing at the site of the malaysian airlines airplane crash as kiev has officially suspended the cease fire has criticized this decision by kiev's authorities but russia's resolution at the u.n. to try answering stated was blocked by countries such as lethal and you know us who are saying that government forces are not following the truce. our photo

correspondent for the news agency is now missing in eastern ukraine that is under very stern and he was last heard of three days ago when he sent photos from the region now at first it was thought destruction to communications in the area was the reason he went quiet but now there is genuine concern about his whereabouts stan as well known for working in dangerous areas like syria and egypt he's been taking photos all over the rest of regions where a number of journalists are being killed or abducted. moving away from the east to the ukrainian capital kiev which was witnessed certainly a turbulent twenty four hours you can see right here people on that central square clashing with police burning tires then later they started dismantling the pavement it happened when the city both already tried to tear down barricades that have been on my down since last november of course last november when the protests against that then the government started a foreign affairs analyst derek want more rose says the situation like this it's all too familiar. actually situations quite ironic to say the least since the

revolution seemed to be taken to see the return of the situations that transpired today the same point of exit it was last november when the process took place so right now it seems to me that all the variety of different people who are really people dead wife's or the livelihood as far as the overall revolution is concerned are simply realizing that a government they have right now is simply replaced the other and they're simply at a point of exit right now it seems like nothing much exchange overall plus there's a civil war in east so overall if i can sum it up the whole developments in the ukraine is a bit of complete disaster and there's really nothing else to show for the grief destruction am. and the european food industry industry is now sounding the alarm over the ban russia has placed on most imports fearing billions of euros in potential losses moscow moved to counter western sanctions which had resorted to

the issues of sanctions over the events in ukraine a preacher all over now with more on this. no market for those that back sanctions russia's ban on the import of certain food stamps from the us canada australia norway and you said response to the economic sanctions imposed on moscow the ban will block meat fruit vegetables some dairy and fish imports for one year those watching international trade shows that russia is a different animal to other nations sanctions recently what's striking is that when the sanctions were ramped up against iran there was very little iran could do the west didn't really need much from iran that's not the case with russia and i think russia has made very clear that it will retaliate in a proportionate manner with european culture said to bear the brunt of the import ban e.u.

leaders that backed sanctions against russia look likely to face farmers in export is demanding compensation for their losses there's someone there know. it's going to affect us all it will take two or three months to collect all remaining crops of oranges and we don't know what will happen if no one buys them so if there isn't a sufficient market prices will go down and we don't know if we can cover the costs of production because it is so expensive. european food exports to russia worth over twelve billion euros last year if you win year and finland were the first to contact brussels about compensation some estimates suggest the ban could cost the finnish economy four hundred million euro mostly from dairy exports elsewhere but the german trade union that deals with wholesale foreign trade said the ban posed a risk to the economy in his country in greece the opposition party says accuse the

current government's actions of being detrimental to farming and in ireland the minister for agriculture said there was real worry particularly regarding cheese eggs. sports which were valued at four point five million euro in twenty thirteen european analysts a warning that sanctions aren't the way to find a solution we trade is a key for peace we shouldn't be in this game of tit for tat thing we sanction is we we should be negotiating on the same table but as it stands russian consumers are going to have to go without certain imports western exports is going to be locked out the russian market peter all over. you can head to our web site to tell us what you think oh who you think i should say will be hit hardest by the sanctions over the crisis in ukraine or let's bring up some numbers for you here right now the majority of believing ultimately the e.u. and the u.s. could suffer the biggest losses in fact only a little less feeling that both russia and western nations will be affected equally

and the rest of you say it's either russia or no one and of course they're saying the world would actually adjust very quickly so make sure you can have your vote right now at odds he taught com. and president obama has now given permission to launch u.s. airstrikes on jihadist militants of the so-called islamic state that have occupied well certainly the northwestern areas of iraq however he said the strikes would only take place in the event of islamist talking in the kurdish city of irbil right here of course that's where the u.s. diplomatic mission based at his comes as the militants have stepped up their offensive capturing the largest christian city of qatar it's thought some two hundred thousand people have fled the fighting in the area in recent days meanwhile bombs went off in baghdad in the oil town of code of cook killing many many people . as the latest. the mission of the u.s. to get in the way of the humanitarian crisis in raveling in the country as the

state to lead a group also known as isis ravages through northern iraq pushing two hundred thousand iraqis to flee and trapping about forty thousand religious minorities on mount sin jar where according to unicef forty children have already died from heat and dehydration air drops of humanitarian aid in iraq are now being conducted by the u.s. these climate militants have been sweeping through northwestern iraq taking over multiple towns and cities as well as the country's largest dam intensifying concerns that this is only the tip of the iceberg and that the instability in the country only keeps growing directed our military to take targeted strikes against terrorists convoys should they move toward the city. we intend to stay vigilant and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in iraq but are there any other options one of those actually putting together a nato type organization which consists of jordan turkey egypt saudi arabia you can organize the sunni nations which we've helped train and equip to go take care of

this nobody wants isis to be successful even the so many was so you've got to look at this realistically and frankly the american people are tired of war so which steps if any could actually bring more stability to the chaos torn country and how far could any u.s. involvement lead these are sensitive questions after almost a decade of the u.s. presence in iraq which cost over seven hundred fifty billion dollars and the country is now at the point of catastrophe and chaos and six hereon violence continues to rage on and our new york. previously the u.s. and coalition into iraq was a very costly exercise though costly both in terms of human life and financially let's bring up some numbers for you now the white house spent a whopping one point seven trillion dollars on the holo deal that is five thousand dollars per second during the occupation each american soldier costs three hundred fifty thousand dollars to deploy and the government will still need to give

billions to its veterans and pension payments and he will activist richard baca he says washington will still need to pour you put more money into iraq the cost of the war has not really been added yet in terms of the damage done in iraq the damage done to people who died in it from the united states and the actual cost which will be i'm growing and hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars will be added to that in terms of health care in the future and i think people are quite aware of that now and what a catastrophe that war was for the people in iraq and also for the people in the united states. well parents and bloggers in the u.s. are up in arms over a controversial book promoting gun rights to kids more about how the rest of the world's top headlines after a very short. amount of the stories we cover here you're not going to hear any other big story. the same

children's book has hit the bookshelves of america my parents' open carry is designed to explain to children why it is a great idea for their parents to be carrying guns with them everywhere to the thirteen year old character in the books the parents say when seconds count police are minutes away the book already has its supporters and its haters. why do you think it's unfair because people need to know how to take care of themselves protect themselves and to protect the children in the home if they know how to use them in their safe with them are you are you a father very much i have three boys but i don't think that that's good for example . i think that we already have a pretty violent nation as it is so i think that we have a nation so that just promotes it in a sense some in social media hit back at gun advocates by changing the book's cover irenaeus site the american academy of pediatrics points to grim statistics firearms are one of the top three causes of death among children in the u.s.

killing twice as many as cancer injuries from fire arms send an estimated seven thousand children to casualty every year and an additional three thousand died from gunshot wounds before they get to a hospital and despite the growing number of deaths among children gun culture in america seems to be gaining momentum. the documentary film kids and guns features american families who encourage their young children to own and shoot arms . and those who regret ever having given a gun to their child he had a little twenty two thank you twenty two and i had just purchased it for him first and have purchased from us. obviously are a great purchase to get. and this hank was crossing the creek they said these little red slipped. and when he did the better they get hit the guy all. you

know when our work i ran into several non americans as i was asking people what they thought about the children's book you have to explain your kids why your parents carry guns i can't even stretch my mind that it's so for me it's just. very culture shock american children younger than fifteen or nine times more likely to die in a gun related accident and those in the rest of the developed world gun advocates in the us seem variably see all attempts to restrict the use of guns as an encroachment on the constitution so all meaningful efforts to bring about change have hit a dead end in washington i'm going to check on our parts of mexico to open up the more than two thousand people had to be evacuated from the town of san pedro after a gas line exploded you can see right there it actually created a burning crater in the middle of a highway it's told that a water leak toppled an electricity pole into the pipeline causing the explosion at

and journalists were injured in the clashes. thanks for joining us here on r.t. international we're back in half an hour's time with the top world headlines for now though as the immigration argument gets louder and louder in the u.s. over the joint a border with mexico larry king decides to get involved i don't mean next. during a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you'll almost never hear from a government bureaucrat he told the audience that in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we america did some things that were wrong we did

a whole lot of things that were right but we tortured some folks here it is a rare thing to hear someone in the white house admit to torturing people after nine eleven but the question is why did he say this now please allow me to spec first obama is the teleprompter master since he loves to read off a screen i doubt this was some sort of slip up this was probably done consciously but why well it always helps if you a look good by condemning the moral failings of previous presidents liberals and democrats love to hate bush so this could be subs kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture sounds nice and drown out the fact that he sure approves of shelling civilians in eastern ukraine. if obama really does feel that the post nine eleven torture was a shameful part of american history then as the leader of the executive branch of the nation he could do a lot to punish those who did the torture then and prevent it from happening again the future but if i do obama this is all just a bunch of sweet talk but that's just my opinion.

he's a leading advocate for the hispanic community and the claims the g.o.p. has goal is to get meaner and nastier with immigrants yes democratic congressman luis gutierrez and the overs his outspoken take on the current crisis at the u.s. border and what president obama should be doing about it's all next on politicking . on the ticket on larry king joining us first from chicago u.s.

representative lewis good sierra's democrat of illinois member of the house judiciary committee and a member of the house permanent select committee on intelligence we thank him for joining us the house pass to immigration bills on friday night did that did that surprise you congressman. so yes so little is fast yeah. yeah so little gets passed because it has written all over it i mean the president of the united states is very clear that he will veto these bills they knew that going in what that surprised me was how many members of the republican party who have spoken in favor of immigration reform this cited there but new position would be simply deport them all there can't be a process in which we take people who have spent many many years in this country. have families and children and businesses here and and and want to remain here in

this country that we can't get them right with the law that we have to be so mean spirited that we can't do what the senate larry last june the senate sixty eight to thirty two with ample republican support very bipartisan bill passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill why can't the house of representatives do it they can't because they have twenty twenty five members and say let's just be mean let's be as mean as nasty as we can with immigrant things on this and since that is not a popular national issue it doesn't help them in presidential elections and with the hispanic growth in the population why do you think they remain so adamant i think because they can't stand up to the loudest bullies in their caucus in the republican caucus in the house of representatives they just can't bend up to them larry look there are dozens of republican members of the house of representatives that tomorrow would vote for a bill that would be similar maybe not identical to the one passed in the senate last year.
