10:09 am
their gas supply from russia via ukraine and of course with 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 may assume that ukraine wants to punish russia by posing these sanctions but as a result what we're looking at really is ukraine punishing its european neighbors. by let's take a look at the numbers in more detail this is the entire volume of gas are flowing through ukraine that's almost a third of the overall consumption according to gas prom and in some countries at the dependency is much higher here are just a few examples here number of countries get more than half of the gas from russia like poland and ingres implodes constitute three quarters of consumption but most add risk area and slovakia ninety two percent to ninety eight percent they they guess come from russia value you krane political analysts and they are filled says

ukraine's move will raise eyebrows in europe. 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 clear for all the states in southeast europe 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 one of the options to pump russian gas into europe while bypassing ukraine is the south stream project for now the construction of the pipe is stalling under pressure from you e.u. lawmakers who argue that it doesn't comply with certain regulations it's by bad

10:12 am
say this is the biggest rally to date in support of the palestinian people to rally started here because we are protests against what they say is the b.b.c.'s on their bias already the blogs like in gaza talk the first time they're your father back because they feel that their message is not being heard the b.b.c. you know presenting facts if you want to go now that they're not moving over to the worst embassy would all be right in the worst governments. thank you what there are demanding the government to do was he was also whether arms exports are growing people who are coming to either fork over arms exports a series from the british government and they're mostly go one step too far in order to the powers of the israelis so they can kill innocent children already in published or it's an option or destroyed of course comes all the rules of war and all the sudden it is there are less resources from the artist in other words he
10:13 am
says the letter. of the morning was thank god thank you the very latest as we read it as a protester was was 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 those angry about the month long offensive in gaza and inside israel itself there are many making their anger heard but as are his policy reports there can be consequences to speaking out. the war going gaza is becoming a hash tag headache 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 braverman but sometimes there's a price to pay as russia 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 especially during the war period and also i have received threats through the phone through facebook by right wing callers who were 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 incitement for isn't 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 air 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 distracted 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. suspended for speaking out against israel's operation in gaza even those who condemn the racism of far right wing news radio face punishment sadly we have been on this road before the first second intifada such a worse of looked like this time it's much more wider. and you're free of that sort of hates the situation of really going to about.
10:16 am
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 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 point of tel aviv more news coming up after a short break. i was trained. in december two thousand and ten. more likely to be raped in college and in the real world. i didn't think 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 alum. gives millions

welcome back to the pentagon has released a video of a strike against jihadists militants controlling large and strategically crucial sweats of northwestern iraq here you can see an f. eighteen appointed to this waiting until repositions belonging to the islamic state terrorist groups not the attacks come off to president obama's pledge to protect u.s. personnel in iraq against the rep it had been off the extremists but at large is able to spin off reports washington could be targeting its own military hardware knew i. was leaving behind a sovereign stable and self-reliant iraq three years on is america coming back today i'll summarize two 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
10:19 am
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 slightly state to set its sights way beyond iraq and syria. and could tell you. and i have no idea how to put that to another but it wasn't just you know the. models are not enough. for the self and the model. because you know why shell out the better the guilt enough. to live in keep a will of dealing with them on its own baghdad's asked to washington for help but where did the slamming state or isis fighters come from we are where we are because
10:20 am
we armed the syrian rebels we have been fighting alongside al-qaeda fighting alongside i says 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 white house says that the limited u.s. military action in iraq could be extended to what is the way the sun and state tightens its grip on iraq according to the un and around two hundred thousand new refugees have fled their homes while 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 if the latest operation in iraq is aimed at containing the advance of the jihadists many believe they were given more than a leg up by the u.s. in the first place we really have to look at the reorientation of western foreign
10:21 am
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 rightly so but has been tacitly or implicitly supporting them in syria is madness these are u.s. weapons u.s. weapons on both sides in this from bat 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 us weapons on all sides which is just fine for absolutely for weapons makers looking for a profit but it fuels destruction. all giants from russia and america have launched a joint project to explore the arctic president putin announced the started during a teleconference rosneft and x. in mobile using a joint rig owned by no we can company north atlantic drilling to work on and on

oil well that's the most northerly in russia now the sea whether to you will be operating is covered with fake eyes for most of the yeah but i'm doing the there's an estimated six billion tons of extractable oil it belongs to the west siberia problems which already provides russia with mice of its oil and gas platform is capable of drilling down seven kilometers keep a boy filter 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 our mobile have already invested many many millions of dollars they could do with the oil and they're going ahead the sanctions do not apply to this particular project because the deal was already signed the russian state oil company has

a twenty percent investment by b p or mobil exxon are really looking to find new sources of hydrocarbons so they really need this fine 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 thyroxine intuition faith in america and leaving many students are struggling to feed themselves so some university are setting up soup kitchens to make sure their pupils make it through their day out is that a theatre can report. college enter 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.
10:24 am
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 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 into 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 in the not even way. they can barely

10:26 am
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 what could food stamps buy fifteen dollars a month they should try it well they should try to feed their families on food stamps on a.f.d.c. and see what a fifteen dollars cup 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. on the way on r t international airport on sea walls and drawings you gave us it's going to go on.

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 a system which basically blasted the protesters with sound which sounds but intended to mean a thing. i look into it and read that the weapon can cause permanent hearing loss the company even admits this is true at less than fifty meters we see all across the country so-called non-lethal weapons being used to very harmful and even to well we thought ns 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
