the army uses to attack the city where they're surrounded but they keep attacking the city. so instead we try to get to danny ask we ask an anti-government fighter what lies ahead alexander tells us his small town which lies between the city and the border has seen some of the most intense shelling in the area he's driving back there and he admits the route he traced really a boomerang effect i think they don't want to let there if you cross the russian border which is why they are shooting at the roads they're also trying to cut us off from humanitarian aid food and water the moment that xander politely refuses to take us with him we take his number and agree to keep in touch to check on him and the road once he reaches his destination we wrong several times but no one is answering raif nationality on the russian ukrainian border. playing an active role in kids' crackdown in of the east is the national guard

a privately funded group that largely consists of ultranationalists here and one of the units is on a witch hunt for what they call separatists you can see soldiers storming a house and breaking out a man and beating him they then take him away in a car with a bag over his head. and canada is sending four and a half million dollars worth of non lethal aid to ukraine a plane loaded with helmets bulletproof vests and sleeping bags has landed at an airport in kenya the canadian prime minister said it's intended for troops fighting in the east of the country and is in corporation where the nato allies are sending similar packages. moving from eastern ukraine to the capital now cure central square is on fire again after a second attempt to clear it in as many days met the resistance the activists they are refusing to leave despite all efforts by police and city's services to

partners especially of the countries that are in the center in the east and in the south of europe some of them are getting as much as almost one hundred percent of their gas supply from russia via ukraine and of course with all those countries have already found themselves out of the cold literally during the so-called gas wars between russia and ukraine some years back and they could be looking for another repetition of that experience if indeed ukraine does go through with its promise of sanctions and we assume that ukraine wants to punish russia by imposing these sanctions but as a result what we're looking at really is ukraine punishing its european neighbors political analyst don feld believes ukraine's a sanctions plan is likely to raise eyebrows some rain among its you. i seeing that this proposal will never gets reality since the pressure from brussels by commission and other actors from the national states but furthermore it shows that the ukrainian government is not willing to cooperate at all and sees only

their own interest after hearing this is caly for all the states in southeast europe like austria slovenia hungary serbia and bulgaria to lobbying much more to get a very secure supply of gas and if you create is not willing to guarantee it there will be other options. well one of the options to pump russian gas into europe while bypassing ukraine is a south stream project for now the construction of the pipe is stalling under pressure from the e.u. lawmakers who argue it doesn't comply with such new regulations and this is despite southern european nations involved in same that they are ready to adopt the necessary laws in order to finish the construction. at least five palestinians have been killed in gaza a day after a fragile cease fire with hamas crumbled three bodies including one of

are there was. there here. you know that the message is. there right now wrote those are the towards the sea because they want to run the risk government to stop supplying weapons to israel and this is actually worth thirty landing from the british government as far as you can see people here are going to while the want to make sure that the message is right. they also want the british government to close and then more go on so many iraqi vets i know these are also asked the government to detail its arms exports to israel this of course comes on the heels of the foreign office minister brown as was the resigning claiming david cameron's a position on gaza as a morally indefensible one will be monitoring the protest as a considerable to move it over to the u.s. so it's bringing all the details from there next. that is more in our cars over there who is in london among the dead crowd with play because they're moving

towards of the american embassy to say their piece about what's going on in gaza. right london is not the only place where mass rallies are being held today berlin is also about to stage protests and across the atlantic people in new york will also join the those angry about the month long offensive in gaza and inside israel itself there are many making their anger heard but as artist policy reports there can be consequences to speaking out the ruling gaza is becoming a hash tag hideki the air war in the skies has been joined by the hot air war online with almost two thousand casualties across the border it's no wonder maybe i would be israelis are rebelling in support of the gaza braverman but sometimes there's a price to pay as russians are treating the most russia helped organize demonstrations against the israeli army and posted online about what he and others call the i.d.f. massacres in gaza the police investigated me several times for my political

activity especially during the war. and also i have received. the phone through facebook by right wing callers who work for things like. killing and things like that several israeli mayors have suspended arab workers for posting support for gaza's fighters online. some israeli universities hospitals and even mobile phone companies have followed suit one student who wore a t. shirt with the word palestine and a cafe near a traditional palestinian scarf now faces possible expulsion they are expressing their opinion it might be in a sarcastic way but it doesn't have any incitement to violence it doesn't have an inciting and for its ism it doesn't call for any act of faith violence and therefore legally speaking it is part of the speech that should be given the protection of the constitutional protection arab students were too frightened to

speak to us on camera but what they would say is that the university had completely ignored posts calling for their death the reality shows us not only now but also before that when it gets to the freedom of expression of the arabs it is easily more easily restricted deals with such cases as the head of a worker's rights organization he's now contacted almost daily baraboo poor us who've been fired or suspended for speaking out against israel's operation in gaza even those who condemn the racism of far right wing israelis face punishment sadly we have been in this before the first second intifada situational but not like this time it's what more wider. view from the south of the situation of really going to the bad. i'm not feeling the government is doing anything for a country that claims to be the only democracy in the region it's

a serious charge in today's world the fight for public opinion is arguably as important if not more than what goes on on the battlefield as critics of israel's operation in gaza continue to climb both in and outside the country tel aviv will need to find a more efficient weapon than just merely trying to silence her detractors poilus here are t. t. . coming up on our to international a giant take exploration project russia and the us oil giant the sun drilling at the malls in albany all well in a russia plus. they have to decide where their funds are going to go so some of it's going to textbooks into tuition that leaves less money for people to put food on their tables and a growing number of us students a struggle to put food on the table as education prices skyrocket along that up to the.

ira. in december two thousand and ten. more likely to be raped in college and in the real world. i don't think people did that to each other when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger in the bushes. girl complaining about the son of an alumni who gives millions of dollars to the school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school of schools that make money based decisions are much more common than they would ever admit publicly. when the european union promised to met ukraine become part of it it clearly contributed to the south abrasion of tensions within ukraine ukraine will most become part of the european union who won't tell tales ukraine absolutely doesn't

have the economic level to become part of the e.u. or in. the celebrity international the pentagon has really. a video of a strikes against jihad as militants controlling large and strategically crucial swells of northwestern iraq here you can see an f. eighteen fighter jet obliterating a tillery position as belonging to the islamic state terrorist group the attacks come after president obama's pledge to protect u.s. personnel in iraq against the record at events of the extremist but our t.v. going to be is going to report washington could be targeting its own military hardware in iraq. one leaving behind a sovereign stable and self-reliant iraq three years on is america coming back

today i will rise to operations in iraq targeted airstrikes to protect our american personnel. and a humanitarian effort to help save thousands of iraqi civilians the target this time is the islamic state formally known as isis a terror organization which hasn't only been rampaging through the country with tremendous speed and extreme violence but is even proclaimed its own state stretching from iraq to syria so radical even al qaeda says it's too much brutally murdering anyone even muslims in its way destroying holy sites attacking religious minorities taking control of key infrastructure including oil refineries and dams military hardware as well well certainly potentially more dangerous today than al-qaeda they are very extremely radical group with increasing capabilities capabilities which you are only slamming state to set its sights way beyond iraq and syria. and could tell you. and i know i don't doubt that to another but it

wasn't just you know that can. not other not enough to get out of the cell phone the model. because you know can i shall love it and i got so enough on that i'd say a lot incapable of dealing with them on its own baghdad that's the washington for help woodward to be slamming state or isis fighters come from we are where we are because we armed the syrian rebels we have been fighting alongside al-qaeda fighting alongside isis isis is now in bold and in two countries but here's the anomaly we're with isis in syria we're on the same side of the war so those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria that is the real contradiction to this whole policy the white house says that the limited u.s. military action in iraq could be extended but while it deliberates the slammin state tightens its grip on iraq according to the un around two hundred thousand new refugees have fled their homes what isis claims it's made more than

a dozen military gains over the past five days alone you are just going off r t. washington says its latest operation in iraq is aimed at containing the advance of the jihad is but many believe they were given more than a leg up by the u.s. in the first place. we really have to look at movie audience of western foreign policy in the middle east that has to take place because right now we have a situation where the west is opposing isis rebels in northern iraq and rightly so but has been tacitly or of personally supporting them in syria is madness these are us weapons us weapons on both sides in this combat just as three years ago in libya and in so many wars when you are the top supplier of weapons to the world seventy nine percent of weapons transfers into the middle east or from the united states you're going to have u.s. weapons evolved on all sides which is just fine for absolutely heartless weapons

makers looking for a profit but each fuels destruction. president obama has promised us involvement in iraq will be strictly limited and there will be no ground troops deployed american forces were sent to the iraq in march of two thousand and three and the number peaked four years later reaching one hundred and sixty six thousand they present started to shrink when obama announced a withdrawal in two thousand and nine but war correspondent eric margolis says despite obama's promise of a new campaign in iraq is bound to eventually involve more soldiers. talk in the air strikes they're designed to scare the. sunni forces and to boost the morale of the sheer forces the problem is this is a classic situation we used to call in vietnam mission creep to the us is that already sent in at least eight hundred combat troops special forces into

iraq there are lot of americans in the kurdish area in erbil and the miserable performance of the iraqi army suggests that the u.s. will have to be more forcefully. it wants to. hear some of the ones lined up for you on line in the u.k. health care providers is that it is better to inhale than lead to join in when it comes to heroin addiction find out how they're lending a helping hand. and a thirteen year old girl that takes the thing twice prince of for face value in an innovative method of tackling team cyber bullying of more dot com. oil giants from russia and america have launched

a joint project to explore the arctic president putin alone see started during a teleconference now rosneft and exxon mobil are using a giant my new agent company in north atlantic drilling to work on and oil well the more it's northerly in russia let's see where the two will be operating is covered with figure eyes for most of the year but underneath it isn't as the mated six billion tons of extractable oil it belongs to the west siberia province which already provides russia with most of its oil and gas and the platform is capable of drilling down seven kilometers cabin boy felt of the center for policy studies a think tank believes despite sanctions this will be a successful example of international cooperation this particular project they've been working on it for several years. mobil have already invested many many millions of dollars they could do with the oil and they're going to have the

sanctions do not apply to this particular project because the do you was already selling russian state oil company has a twenty percent investment by b p mobility. so i'm really looking to find new sources of hydrocarbons so they really need this. already invested considerable amount of money so they'd have to write about all the things didn't go ahead so i think in that respect prospects are relatively optimistic. now look at some other global headlines this hour in egypt in court has dissolved the political wing of the muslim brotherhood the government declared the organization a terrorist group last year accusing it of supporting protests to destabilize the country and the ruling is aimed at preventing the islamist movement from formally participating in parliamentary elections expected later this year. in pakistan

a little snack but very often that could be lunch that summer time so most colleges around america are largely deserted but even so in schools like this one preparations are well underway to feed those in need when they come back in september according to the college and university food bank alliance there are about one hundred twenty food pantries at higher education institutions throughout the u.s. dozens more are in the process of being set up like here at nassau community college in new york's long island they're choosing to do something to help themselves and to improve their lot in life by going to school they have to decide where their funds are going to go so some of it's going to textbooks and to tuition that leaves less money for people to put food on their tables the food pantry boom is only beginning as prices for education skyrocket having grown by five hundred forty percent since the eighty's according to the u.s. department of labor so people are coming here and they're not even way. they can barely afford the tuition nineteen year old stacy abby is

a originally from an upper middle class family in india living below the poverty line since moving to america it's a negative mentality sometimes when people say oh you're coming to a country and you're taking all the lead and all the food stamps we don't use any of that as my family is scared that we're going to get stacey says there are many more students like her. most of them she says keep their hunger to themselves it's kind of embarrassing to go and tell that to people when you see that other people have it and you don't. but i've seen a lot of students who are hungry and they eat they say a muffin or something and you know. did you what did you have today. is what they tell me it's that it's very sad in this community of twenty three thousand people the pantry is not only meant for students but also college staff who are in need the plight of college students as part of a broader struggle in america where food security is a problem while policies to keep up with those in need often ignore reality when

you listen to people in congress talking about yeah well cooked food stamps by fifteen dollars a month they should treat well they should try to feed their families on food stamps on a.f.d.c. and see what a fifteen dollar cut would do well politicians narrow in on cutting costs rather than seeing the bigger picture it's volunteers like stacey along with two other students and faculty that are trying to help however they can by building and running what is for now a small space you don't have to be scare you don't have to be hungry there's someone out there who cares that they hope will make a real difference and. long island new york. times reporter.

a few weeks ago we discussed detroit's plans to shut off water to those who can't pay their bills logically what a basic human the system he could get taken away some protesters gathered to give their opinion on the issue at our plaza and what is the response from the state maybe some sort of dialogue or explanation as to why they have to turn off the water you know they turned on the high tech quote non lethal weaponry. against the protesters they used an l. red system which basically blasted the protesters with sound which sounds unintended humane until you look into it and read that the weapon can cause permanent hearing loss the company even admits this is true at less than fifteen meters we see all across the country so-called non-lethal weapons being used to very harmful and even to well we thought ends but why does this happen because they make breaking up protest easy unsafe for the cops remember in the old days when you had to physically break up protests well things like el read allow any coward to just flip a switch to disperse a crowd with not a drop of blood visible and the fact that it seems not harmful as the police to be

justified in using it whenever they want for the sake of the constitution i think no police forces should be able to use a spell read technology but that's just my opinion. clean zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of warmongering politicians. capturing people see what he did there and this is killing them easy we reserve the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they can do that looking for they can drones and that's what makes these things are very present politicians. new kind of power yeah this technology that.
