gives corporations. a very warm welcome to you if you're just joining us here on our to international live from moscow here with me on what say. ukraine's president has said russia's invading east ukraine although the statement has already been rejected by moscow the strong rhetoric comes amid a powerful counter offensive by anti-government forces in ukraine's restive eastern regions the militias have managed to gain war ground however the city of donetsk is still suffering from the shelling policia reports. in the last few minutes as we've been waiting to cross live to you and number of grad missiles have hit city center what you see behind me is huge columns of smoke where these missiles have struck

what we are hearing are strong words from the ukrainian president petro poroshenko he has accused russia of invading ukraine just today because of the escalation of the situation ended and that's gregan and because of the fragile integration of ukrainian territory by the russian army i have decided to cancel my visit to turkey russia has repeatedly denied that it is providing any kind of military assistance or troops to the antique here of protesters here in eastern ukraine but what is particularly interesting is the timing of publishing because comments may come as the ukrainian military suffers defeat off to defeat not the first time we're hearing these kind of claims and the anti government forces have said that they have received assistance but from russian volunteers but there were three to four thousand of them among us many of them have already left home even more still here at least some have been killed many of those russian volunteers

a former soldier. now a few days ago there were ten russian soldiers who mistakenly crossed over the russian ukrainian border into ukrainian territory the incident happened at night and at a part of the border where there are very few signposts different allegations were put forward that russian paratroopers who were allegedly killed in ukraine had to go up to the area and in the several russian cities now of the russian president's office says it is looking into these allegations but there hasn't been any kind of independent verification at this stage it is important also to note that on several different occasions there have been ukrainian troops who have crossed over into russia they have been seeking come some kind of assistance and then they've always returned back to ukraine. well some of the fiercest fighting has been underway in the town of the. to in the den yes regence ukraine's pull a military national guard that's whiting alongside the army was so round of the by anti government militias now these pictures have been posted online by the national

guard who reportedly suffered serious losses the fighters have now been surrounded for almost a week despite calls from overnight the save for about evacuating injured from the area it had no no no support on yet. and these pictures we've been getting from central kiev where hundreds have apparently stormed the general stock building a mass rally was held before the second day in a row they've been demanding game piece meant of the president over what they're calling young going slaughter of troops in the area and us policy here also found out earlier amid the protests muted building up in kiev more all across the plains armed forces is also being affected. as the fighting intensifies and anti government forces close in a call for hope goes on on sword for reinforcements for crap ukrainian troops are showing coming it's not the first time a queue of soldiers feel abandoned. in order to take care of needed lives. women

are forever more nearly three hours. from a block level sure where most women across the backwardness will probably. would grow usually it was one of the original i met over there is very much every room watching and i really. don't mind of that yet and i love. that i don't know what they did. it all but. it's a far cry from the tough talk of ukrainian president petro poroshenko talking of a strong country and strong army instead its young and often inexperienced soldiers as suggested by an alleged conversation. between a commander and a tank sold gently to on line i didn't realize it was some of the was there was there

was a i was there was the guy was there was the frustration is growing among the troops who is there but it then if there's such i think it's a little bit let's go at the political risk that it's that philip and it isn't the families i think it was and it's going to be a fight with me doesn't mean. it was anything yeah it was a chance i don't think it did i think i did that and the government intervenes with the head of the interior ministry is locking horns with the needle the radical nationalist white sector group which is taking part in the fighting in the country ceased if our demands are not met we'll be forced to withdraw our battalions from the front line and launch a march on to kiev to carry out speedy reforms in the interior ministry. yarrow

with your bragging you have deceived people who you led into illegal armed units you were turning the people who believed you can and border meanwhile losses on the battlefield are mounting and here in the same two of them it's been the ukrainian military defeat is on show the message is more than just symbolic a bad omen for the ukrainian soldiers encircled by self-defense forces in the region of jeanette's who fighting not only for their lives but for an army that they are accusing of betraying them and leaving them to die paul of fear r t eastern ukraine. where you are the accusations flying in kiev have sparked a media frenzy in the west headlines are ringing the alarm over the alleged invasion by moscow investigative journalist tony gosling says the sister is part of the peer pressure from the west. so i told you the warfare i call it which is actually the public as well as the politicians. now the law is becoming

a going and going to weeks ago rasmussen and here were completely lawing about the idea of them shelling over what it was coming in to be used to be great it was just a plain simple laws and you know the idea which to manipulate the public and if you keep repeating the same thing people think oh well more russians must be in there we keep hearing this even though if you actually look into it and it turns out to be a lot. it's been twenty four days since the disappearance of understanding the russian veteran photojournalists who went missing while covering military operation in east ukraine moscow has been trying to locate to the correspondent with voices of support coming from human rights watch dogs and journalists organizations across the world however has been reluctant to help saying it has no knowledge of stand ins whereabouts the real numbers to news agency correspondent has also worked with a.p. reuters and other international news outlets. senior

u.s. officials say they're tracking around three hundred americans now believed to be fighting with islamic state militants in syria and iraq washington fears they will pose a huge risk to u.s. security if they return a new skills learned in war zones to carry out attacks at home this comes after a thirty three year old american who had joined the ranks of the jihad as was confirmed dead by his family that was mccain was killed over the weekend in syria while fighting members of another anti government group. reports from washington. the u.s. president has diagnosed these lawmakers state rooting out a cancer why geisel won't be easy and won't be quick many are asking if the cancer could have been caught at an earlier stage when these lawmakers state group support of the syrian opposition was gaining momentum in the country and when rich donors in gulf states were funding and arming the group but until recently the west seemed more preoccupied with toppling the syrian president we will work with like minded

states to support the syrian opposition to hasten the day when assad falls but the european union has agreed to bring to an end they arms embargo on the syrian opposition we are constantly consulting with the opposition on how they can get organized so that. they're not splintered and divided in the face of the onslaught from the assad regime for years the white house tried to present a picture of the syrian opposition as consisting of quote former farmers and teachers some within the intelligence community had a really big red flag that was alarming the administration and elected officials that the problem in syria was bigger than anybody anticipated but the problem is that the elected officials chose to have a moment of dumb and dumber and hear what they wanted to hear so you had john

mccain patrolling the streets of aleppo thinking that supporting the insurgents was a good idea one thing the west perhaps failed to see was the blurred lines between the moderate and the radical groups within the syrian opposition and isis until very recently was part of a broad sunni group in syria that was being supplied by the united states the extremist group makes use of modern technologies like no other radical organization they even use surveillance drones to plan attacks on the syrian military the question arises whether the you. s.s. misjudged the scale of extremism in syria as it focused all efforts on bringing down the syrian government you know so much cooperation where you know all the help you got for being with us. for free the last miracle of the banister. the ruthless cereals we shall overcome if you waste the mission to call any of. these all mixed a group is now cheering about all the arms and money that they have seized both in

iraq and in syria isis sympathizers are posting pictures on twitter in the us cities with a message saying we are in your street something that is typical of isis is this vicious sense of humor if you will they are big fans of social media and they have been using all the west can offer to spread what president obama called cancer in washington i'm going to shut down party. there's not many stages proving to have one of the most successful business models in the world of terrorism with assets worth an estimated two billion dollars a significant amount more than two million dollars a day reportedly comes from selling crude oil that goes to kurds in iraq syria turkey and jordan smuggling and kidnapping is also a lucrative sideline ransom payments may have brought the ground around ten million dollars in recent years state even pushes corporate annual reports to attract new

sponsors as spin finding out. pictures of need slated corpses of the so-called infidels and photoshop images of western troops involved in flames these are just some of the growth task methods employed by the islamic state illustrated in glossy magazines and online and its attempt to spread its message a message that even al qaida is uncomfortable with visit hannity those what was striking out can produce some remarkably good visual graphics but nothing on the scale of isis the photography is hyper real islamic states markets and techniques are becoming increasingly more professional and widespread as its propaganda is found in different languages in news updates videos twitter accounts magazines and on t.v. the democratic they're targeting is you they're relying on the ignorance of you distorting the qur'an of course but they're also using various kinds

of stylistic mannerisms which the youth are familiar with from the street from you tube from twitter and so forth in other words it has a very modern look and feel it feels like a media extravaganza but it's suffused with excitement now if we take a look at the cover of the islamic states latest magazine they will see that it's a play on a noah's arc in which the message is it's either them or the flood and experts say there is controversy and fear to get more followers how are they doing that they're using hate propaganda by showing their adversary is paradoxically as killing babies is they also are i think a remarkably harsh in their language they present their enemy is indeed humanized terms of some kind of humanity just as the nazis did so they only use pejoratives like crusade while watson nations might be trying to bomb isis out of

existence. ices itself seems to have learned to those bombs that can bridge social media and therefore its existence online grow stronger than ever merino call survive reporting from london for its a. break you'll be talking about the islamic state with a guest starred on go away. differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties who have gone to syria in recent months has said he's a reformer. which is diddy's calling for him to go. to go to east to sue is going to be some of the stuff.

dramas that could be ignored. stories others who refused to notice. food since changing the world writes now. to picture of today's news. from around the globe. going to stay with us back to one of our top stories some three hundred americans have apparently joined this lemming state militias to fight the so-called holy war it comes amid reports jihad as having executed dozens of syrian army soldiers for

more on this let's now cross to activists and commentator karen pitofsky who's also a retired lieutenant colonel of the u.s. a force it's good to have you with us ma'am the u.s. is mulling expanding its assault on this slamming state one of the indirectly be helping out the assad government well of course and i think that's the kind of the funny part of this whole process less than a year ago we were supporting in fact that maybe even six months ago we were supporting the same what we're now calling evil out of control vicious terrorists so against assad regime so it's kind of strange that we've switched so easily with so little outcry and so little sense of irony here back in the american. back in the states the u.s. defense secretary blames the syrian government and when they had seen that they were breeding their jihad stuff about how come when it was assad who was trying to

actually say the are this movement that's building out there we need to stop them why listen now. well i think we have to step back and look at the motivation of the united states government in all of these activities in the middle east and a big part of it is to sustain some sort of mission relevance you know we were facing we are facing in this country military drawdown and it was well justified and it's very popular amongst the people in this country we're tired of spending all this money and doing all the stupid stuff that most americans don't understand in the middle east in particular now in face of that real imminent drawdown in government spending in military spending military activity you know we need something to kind of juice it up a little and so switching sides defending our side now presenting particularly to the american public this. image of an enormous and vicious and global threat that

bet is there constituted by isis this is part of an agenda which sustains the american military mission in the middle east and it in that respect this makes perfect sense how successful then was the u.s. or official policy of aiding the so-called moderate syrian rebels. well that policy whether in syria whether in libya around the world where we do that has never been successful in the central america in the eighty's it was not successful so it is not. in terms of advancing. issues and security on the ground that policy has never been successful and not just by us by any country it doesn't work that way but it does maintain create. confusion and it sustains an imperial style mission a mission overseas of force in advisors in. news feed back into the united states

so in that respect it's successful in terms of the real stated objectives it has not been successful never has been how much of the u.s. and the e.u. underestimated the actual threat of the state not consider that they're actually looking into what we've been seeing all over the news and on social media. sure that what we're seeing in the news at least you know british news american news is not actually an overstatement oh of the real fundamental threat of isis and some of the allied groups there that are fighting against the propped up government in iraq and certainly the assad government in syria it seems to me that there's a lot of exaggeration in what they're truly capable of particularly now that we are no longer supplying. those i'll call them terrorists groups because they are we're not supplying them anymore with weapons and aid and that kind of thing and at some

point will put pressure on our allies in certainly in saudi arabia and cutter to stop supplying them so i think that their supplies are not sustainable in the long term so in that respect i don't see them as a huge threat certainly not an international threat but having said that they are certainly being presented by the crazies in our country such as john mccain. as a really serious threat i think fundamentally from a military perspective this is probably from a military perspective a short term threat now from a political perspective certainly what isis stands for is is some sort of homegrown solution to insecurity and political instability and that needs to be corrected it needs to be worked out you know the people in the middle east deserve a better future isis was probably a part of that it's certainly a reflection of what's going on there but in terms of a real threat certainly outside of the region i don't see it i think this is part

of the propaganda stream that actually originates in washington d.c. i wish i had more time with you colonel karen thank you very much for joining us here on our to share e-mails and wish. italy has told the e.u. it wants the details of negotiations over a giant trade deal with the u.s. to be made public and a letter to his european partners italy says it would help dispel fears about what's going on behind closed doors let's have a look at what the agreement would mean for both sides of the transatlantic trade deal definitely looks tempting on paper their partnership would allow the removal of trade barriers and regularity differences which are seen to hinder the growth of the u.s. an economy will be pushed away plus erica and the e.u. collective g.d.p. would be boosted by two hundred and forty five billion dollars but some critics say some parts of the puzzle dunford together worry corporations could hijack the

interest of taxpayers passing any losses on to them if they me thing goes wrong investigative journalist john hillery says is no accident that talks are being held in secret we've been told the details of the e.u. us trade deal is completely secret i mean they pose a thirty year or she documents that we would like to see well the first reason for the secrecy is because the european commission and the u.s. trade representative they know that if people really found out about what was going on in these negotiations they would be up in arms there is already a whole range across the whole of europe what we've already learned about the t.t. the trade negotiations so if people really could see the line what is being because here it's a two way behind closed doors don't have the revolution history for example in germany there's a very very high one years of teaching of these new negotiations and people by and

large are very very opposed to it raises poll that we've seen suggests the fifty five percent of people in germany are against these new negotiations. people across europe have been protesting over the last month about this deal in belgium police dispersed across using water cannons and in berlin activists stage a performance by lying on the ground with banners saying europe might be full sale . and last month hundreds marching in london to against the planned ratifications of the thing everything from the workers' rights to the environment. some more news from around the globe schools across nigeria have been shocked as a country tries to stop the deadly ebola outbreak the death toll has been rising dramatically and now the first death case outside the capital has been reported overall almost fifteen hundred deaths have already been recorded in the epidemic

which has mostly happened and hit west africa countries. meanwhile in buenos ayres are protesters trip to the streets angered at the u.s. hedge funds that are demanding the addon tying government repay its bonds the country's economy is currently struggling and defaulted on its debts last month hedge funds have been branded quote vulture funds by. her just as in support of a yemeni leader have accused the government of corruption and awful decision to cut fuel subsidies to be reversed demonstrators were allowed to continue their protests until government resigned the capital has witnessed sit ins for now. a massive landslide has hit a village in southwestern china killing at least six and burying war than seventy houses twenty one people are missing and another twenty one have been injured

additional damage has also been inflicted as a slight hit and breached a water reservoir. spanish clothing giant zara has found itself in the middle of a scandal over one particular piece of clothing he's tried to baby shirts with sewn in sheriff baz has led to a storm of criticism on social media shabazz the item ball striking similarities to uniforms worn in nazi death camps the word sheriff is barely visible was visible the badge looks a lot like the star of david a religious symbol the nazis used to sing are jews and of course many on twitter where paul uses going as far as calling for a ban on the clothing retailer there has since apologized and removed the item from sale stating that the t. shirt was inspired by classic western films and was a meant to offend anyone but this isn't the first time the clothing giant has been

accused of insensitivity on the issue back in two thousand and seven zara had to remove from the shelves this handbag for having screen symbols that resembled what stickers. after the break find out how we try to cover the news stories on our team. to know our famous politician is tweeting that a for government is using excessive force against protesting citizens does this mean we're going to see yet another intervention to democratize their government into the dirt like in iraq or libya wait wait nothing is going to happen because that politician is russian but why is this so why can the police beat up or

terrorize protesters in some countries but in others if you lift one finger you're going to get in from do a member of what happened because unlike what they tell you in school might does it make right for young uns out there old grandpa kirby remembers the cold war and back when there were two great powers they had to at least behave well to woo people into believing that one side were the good guys now that's all gone the problem is they mano polar world that we live in heck if the us still had to deal with soviet or some other propaganda we would never see as much footage of flagrant police misconduct that we do now absolute power corrupts absolutely and the geo political monopoly that we all live in really isn't good for the average person in or outside of america especially if they want to protest but that's just my opinion .
