a high risk of an environmental disaster you have to do a few. minutes of the city and the chemical plant continue day and night visually and now is that due to the irresponsible actions of the ukrainian army the citizens of ukraine russia and belarus are exposed to the deadly threat of an ecological disaster on a daily bases the size of which cannot be calculated the minimal impact zone would be at least three hundred kilometer in spain. the chemical plant in the girl of course stores over two thousand tonnes of a substance known as blood poison used in plant production if it enters the body it affects the liver hard bone marrow and can cause death on top of that there are also thirty tons of t.n.t. at the facility and nearby ten thousand cubic meters of liquid ammonia are stored exposure to it in high concentrations can lead to blindness lung damage and death ukraine's inviting the red cross to organize aid for people in lugansk and that's

what president petro poroshenko has told the u.s. secretary of state the issue of resistance declared a humanitarian disaster last week and russia has tried to send in emergency aid but the offer was turned down by key if it were if it is in the devastated city. the guns made luke abandoned but the rusting people here. those who didn't flee have a daily struggle to survive the city has been without electricity for more than a week now but it's the shortage of water which poses the biggest humanitarian challenge. this woman is called middle aged and russian her name means hope but she has little of that left dr jekyll but when god is unique in your heart not be coupled with one between but we did go to the blue did you can chose an e.p. insinuate what you cheer warm up mum she got not much of what is good for you to shut out but invoke what you to my little your usual storm of you it's getting

intervention against islamic state militants in northern iraq u.s. jets have already carried out at least four air strikes against washington has now reportedly also begun their weaponry arming kurdish resistance fighters in the country's north some american lawmakers have called for an even tougher response they claim the islamists are a direct threat to america but journalist are you as a q a says that the hardest war in fact cultivated by washington. the intervention of the united states several weeks ago by deploying so-called military advisers and intelligence specialists today has resulted in aerial bombardments which they say could go on perhaps for several weeks what the united states government is not saying is that they gave at least tactical support to elements from the islamic state of iraq and syria now calling itself the islamic state of course they fought for several years by supplying arms and other intelligence and tackle support

to armed opposition groups in syria some of these same elements last year with fighting very fiercely with the support of the united states and turkey and other western states to defeat militarily the government of bashar al assad in syria today. these elements were spread out and tossed the border into iraq. being bombed by the united states. and some more all of this hour's world headlines now around one hundred inmates have escaped from the main prison of haiti after it was attacked by armed gunmen raiders met almost no resistance among those who escaped was a wealthy and hated haitian and being held on kidnapping charges so far only ten of the inmates have been recaptured. or your current prime minister. has won the country's first ever the wrecked presidential elections

with over fifty two percent of the vote his two rivals were a little known diplomat and a kurdish politician the presidential vote took place just three months after air to one's ruling conservative party one local elections. a suspected case of a bowl in romania has caught a scared people off going to hospital a man who had recently returned from nigeria was admitted to in this infectious disease unit displaying symptoms associated with the virus but doctors haven't made a final diagnosis yet juries become the fourth west african country to declare and national emergency over a bowl meanwhile the ivory coast as banned all flights from a boa affected countries. europe is considering handing key financial decisions back to athens the troika a regulator made up of the european commission e.u. central bank and international monetary fund and compared by some greeks to nazi occupants could be pulled out of the debt stricken country but that would be small

comfort to those whose lives have already been ruined by the us tara the measures as are now reports. enough is enough to take troika with you and let's us live that is the message from the greek taxi operators association to the government topped with demands the prime minister step down for failing to stop the economic crisis and the strict austerity measures which resulted in poverty and desperation after this and with that the biggest problem in our industry is the mess of debts to the self-employed workers insurance organization and heavy taxation if it takes he makes a profit of five thousand euros the government takes almost seventy percent of that it's not the first time great taxi drivers have reached boiling points but this new calculation which requires them to pay tax on money they haven't even earned yet could send money and so financial debt and. unfortunately our country's becoming the pakistan of europe history will repeat itself will have riots it will get ugly no one is offering any solutions so people don't know what to do the government is

nonexistent it's subservient to the troika and their economic interests the union reps say they feel like slaves working under a government that doesn't serve their interests it's already hard to find a job and that's upon me and also i'm lucky enough to have one fear that every taxation will eventually force them out onto the streets as well rising taxes a minimum make up our taxi drivers making ends meet let's find out. to let me. many times return home unable to cover our basic needs they're taxing everything that moves and they expect you to pay for it somehow if you don't you're in danger of going to prison having your house repossessed we mortgaged our lives our children's and grandchildren's lives to pay off debts that we didn't create and we're sitting here taking it with our hands tied what baffles most greeks is the old tacitly of the government to increase the already high burden of responsibility workers have tried to contact the finance ministry so on the stand how they justify

their latest tax increases and where they expect people. to find this extra money their response was no comment. but i think this had a what all it's been four years of the most draconian austerity measures in europe the troika has destroyed greece the program failed the only thing they achieved was to drag greek society into poverty unemployment of twenty seven percent salary decreases a forty percent unemployment of twenty seven percent suddenly decreases a forty percent skyrocketing taxes in some cases with increases of seven hundred percent it's a disaster and they need to admit it and apologize ok strikes are out of the question since taxi drivers can't afford to skip a day's work but the revolutionary spirit is the thing to gain momentum and many here believe that it's only a matter of time before it spills over again during a cost survive reports in from athens for artsy after the break so if you're not a talk simmering a pan of one of the leaders of the euro skeptic parties that swept into the e.u.

parliament and for our u.k. viewer is a special report on the great culture in the u.s. colleges. it was recently revealed that under the guise of an hiv prevention workshop and as tourists you know latin americans were sent to cuba by the u.s. government to overthrow that government yes the u.s. agency for international development organized for these young people to go to cuba to recruit and set up new political activists however the infiltrators were not very good at their jobs in the cuban authorities were able to nab these well funded travelers in their country this is nowhere near the first time that the u.s. government has tried to meddle in cuba in two thousand and nine usa he tried to set

up a twitter like program to organize people in cuba and we can't forget about the ill fated cuban television airplane. that was supposed to bombard the island with western media that was totally blocked by the government during the cold war i could see the justification to dominate cuba if the us didn't have influence of the country than automatically the soviets did but now what is the justification why does the us need to infiltrate cuba and by what right do you want doesn't have nukes put in america and they have limited industrial capacity they can't do anything to anyone just leave the poor island alone and let the people there figure out their own future without the us state department's help but that's just my opinion. you got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially for your public appearances with food and even though they weren't explicitly political you were just supporting sports. city people who zoom has become very

adept at is controlling the media for example right here c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like it is no i think it's a have an agenda i think through jim is is bought and paid for. l.o.l. come to me and call them civil shevardnadze a political earthquake has hit and frances national front is an epicenter how much are they hoping to achieve with their sweeping victory in the new elections we ask

the leader of the bloc that magnet then is my guest today. this contempt of the brussels bureaucracy has broken through those e.u. voters swept euro skeptic parties into the parliament but do they have what it takes to take on the system you're crespi bracing for change or is this just a passing storm. but in the band leader of france's front that's still not welcome to the program it's great to have you here i am and then similar ben the last time we spoke you predicted in the elections you'd become the number one party in france and here we are you're number one so what's the very first thing you're going to do. the first thing that i will do is constitute a group in the european parliament to be able to prevent any new advances towards european federalism which i consider to be profoundly antidemocratic i believe that it goes against the sovereignty of the people and the economic social and

international interest of france. so along with our allies will now be able to provide a new voice different from the one which dominates and the european union to form a more. talk a little bit more about the european election now when you look at the bigger picture you are skeptics are in a minority in that chamber and they aren't even forming a bloc yet so there wasn't really a victory so to say why do you think there's so much talk in the press as well. in this political earthquake that's taking place. on the ball of all the rules of operation of the european parliament will oblige the left wing and white wing parties of the parliament the european people's party and the party of european socialists to come together to defend their stances against the euro skeptics.
