food to cover wherever is to come the next checkpoint of the russian ukrainian border the line of cars and people stretches for kilometers and almost nobody is willing to cross into ukraine once you are through here we're in the n.t. terrible ration zone where no one can guarantee your safety for hours we search for a driver to take us towards the guns with little success then we met and at tolly he's sixty three years old and from the guns almost every day he travels to russia and then back to acquaint with the mission. when people escape from the attacks they took very little with them that's why many of the refugees don't even have documents when they arrive in a new place so i bring them what they need. recently people have started to ask him to bring the ruling to close they've lost hope of a quick end to the crisis and attorney says sometimes he arrives too late and the

9:07 am
agree to keep in touch to check on him and the route once he reaches his destination we rung several times but no one is answering raef notion r.t. on the russian ukrainian border. playing an active role in here is correct down in the east is the national guard a privately funded group that largely consists of ultra nationalists here one of the units is on a witch hunt for what they call separatists it is a soldier storming a house working out a man and beating him event taking away in a car with the bag over his head. russia has decided not to press charges against ukrainian military officers suspected of using quote prohibited methods of warfare the five servicemen led to russian territory from ukraine earlier this week but were later detained on suspicion of committing crimes during fighting in ukraine but now the officers have been freed.

ukraine could cut the transit of russian gas or through its territory here believes that that will help increase the pressure on moscow after sanctions were imposed by the e.u. it could also however end up hurting its allies as a remake initial reports. obviously it will affect russia's shipments to europe but it will should look at the implications this situation will have on russia's european 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 in 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 may 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 but of the call and of the. believes ukraine sanctions plan is unlikely to raise
9:09 am
eyebrows among its european partners i see 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 for all the states in southeast europe like austria. hungary serbia carrier 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 bad passing ukraine is the south stream project for another construction of the pi baz been stalling under pressure from the e.u. lawmakers who argue it doesn't comply with certain regulations now despite bad
9:10 am
southern european nations involved say they're ready to adopt the necessary laws in order to finish the construction. at least five palestinians have been killed in gaza a day after fragile cease fire with hamas crumbled three bodies including one of a senior hamas official were found under the ruins of a mosque in total three mosques were destroyed overnight as israeli warplanes continued strikes on palestinian territories fighting erupted on friday pushing a brief calm in the month long conflict which has claimed up to one thousand nine hundred palestinian lives and eight in sixty seven israelis the death toll triggered worldwide protests against israeli military aggression in gaza are just more in a quarter of a report from other streets of london where one of these rallies is underway thousands of gathered you're already seeing her daughter's was are saying is the biggest rally to date in support of the palestinians for the rally started here
9:11 am
because this is the only approach against what they say is the b.b.c.'s are there buyers already. in gaza took the first time there your father back because they feel that their message is not being heard the b.b.c. do not resent the fact you want to go now to earn a living over today was this was all right in your stomach stops or words. the right amount. to do as these details of where their arms exports are already going are correct right. sex was. the pretty much the most a good thing. for your marriage to the powers of the israelis should they can kill innocent sure. already in published it's about the city of detroit is of course called the rules of war of the sun. the story was what was that it. was like. the thing was the only
9:12 am
way that it was grotesque was. lemon is not the only place where massive rallies are being held today berlin is also about to stage protests and across the atlantic people in new york will also join those angry about the month long offensive in gaza and inside israel itself there are many making their anger heard but as artie's policy reports they can be consequences to speaking out the wing 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 many arab israelis are rebelling in support of the gaza brethren but sometimes there's a price to pay as russians are treated knows better than 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 police investigated me several times for my political activity
9:13 am
especially during the war. and also i have received threats through the phone for all 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 coffee or a traditional palestinian scarf now faces possible expulsion they are expressing our their opinion it might be in a sarcastic way but it doesn't have any incitement to violence. doesn't have an incitement forty says i'm it doesn't call for an me act of violence and therefore legally speaking it is part of the speech that should be given protection of
9:14 am
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 they did if 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 districted deals with such cases as the head of a workers' 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 we have been before the fall for. such a worst of this time that's what more wider. view from the top of the situation really going to the bad. government is doing everything for a country that claims to be the only democracy in the region it's
9:15 am
a serious charge in today's world that 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 r t tel aviv. coming up on our to international a giant arctic exploration project russian and us oil giant drilling at the malls northerly or oil well in russia. they have to decide where their funds are going to go so some of it's going to textbooks and to to ration that leaves less money for people to put. on the tables and a growing number of u.s. students struggle to put food on the table as education places skyrockets.
9:16 am
but all told him a language of what i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports for so i'm likely to push the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter part of the month to say just six yet a car is on the docket no god. no job no more weasel words when you made a direct question to me prepared for a change when you run should be ready for a. printout of speech and down the freedom to cost. dramas the chance to be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. the faces change the world lights never.
9:17 am
so picture of today's leaves no longer from around the globe. look to. the. my. life from moscow this is r t international the pentagon has released a video of a strikes against jihadist militants controlling large and strategically crucial sweats of north western iraq here you can see an f. eighteen fighter jet obliterating the tillery positions belonging to the islamic state terrorist group the attacks come after president obama's pledge to protect u.s. personnel in iraq against the rapid advance of the extremists but as r.t.c. got these going for imports washington could be targeting its own military hardware in iraq. while leaving behind a sovereign stable and self-reliant iraq three years on is america coming back
9:18 am
today i was a 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 slowing state to set its sights way beyond iraq and syria. and could tell you. and i know i don't know how to tell another but it wasn't just the region of the can i live in that not of the not enough to get out
9:19 am
of the cell phone the model. because you know can't buy shelob and data that will sell enough i'd say the innkeeper will of dealing with them on it's own bag that's to washington for help but where did the 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 i says isis is now involved in 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 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 and 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.
9:20 am
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 reorientation of western foreign policy in the middle east hostility please because right now we have a situation where the west is opposing isis rebels in northern iraq and right we saw but has been tacitly or implicitly 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 were 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 profit. destruction. all giants of from russia
9:21 am
and america have launched a joint project to explore the arctic president putin announced the started during a teleconference rosneft send the s. and mobile using a giant are we going to buy new each in company north atlantic drilling to work on and all well the most and openly in russia another see where the two drills will be operating is covered with thick ice for most of the year but underneath is an estimated 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 kilometer to keep the boy felt of the center for policy studies think tank believes despite sanctions and this will be a successful example of international cooperation this particular project they've been working on it for several years max are mobile of already invested many many
9:22 am
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 deal was already signed russian state. oil company has a twenty percent investment by b p a mobile exxon are really looking to find new sources of hydrocarbons so they really need this find may have already invested considerable amount of money so they'd have to write that off if things didn't go ahead so i think in that respect prospects are relatively optimistic. skyrocket intuition faith in america leaving many students struggling to feed themselves so some universities are setting up soup kitchens to make sure their peoples make it through the day is an associate choke in a report. college enter
9:23 am
a world of possibilities. well crippling student debt after leaving these doors is one pandemic that's already well established in the u.s. what's not often talked about is another dangerous trend college student hunger i've often seen students in my classes you know eating chips or something like that and my first reaction is oh it's a little snack but very well 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 into tuition
9:24 am
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 our 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 have that 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
9:25 am
a muffin is what they tell me i'm like 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 you will cut 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 stacy 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 somebody that they hope will make
9:26 am
a real difference and artsy long island new york. head aaron eighty hears from two time presidential candidate ron paul on the twists and turns of u.s. foreign policy. during a press briefing president barack obama sorts of that very unusual and used a certain term you 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 yeah 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 suspect
9:27 am
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 some kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture sounds nice and dry 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 that 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. fish farms waters today you have the pond to me because. i saw it spread all over
9:28 am
