1:01 am
welcome thanks once again for joining us my name is neil harvey you're watching r.t. international. first this hour russian checkpoint on the border with ukraine has come in the shelling as a result a border guard has been injured with shrapnel attack occurred a self defense forces in eastern ukraine clash with the army the military said to fuse mortar fire which then hit the checkpoint it happened when refugees were crossing the border as we heard from a witness. who wanted to help people who are crossing from ukraine so i went to the border to offer my assistance there were lots of children in the refuse. to cheer them up i heard the gun far as i was coming up to the border people were screaming and running machine there were several gunshots it was very scary to see women and children crying for some time and when i came back the checkpoint was on fire. moscow has demanded explanations from care phone the assault on its territory our correspondent ryan koester of has the details fighting continues close to the
1:02 am
russian border and according to the spokesperson of the russian border guards shell actually flew into russian territory and injured one of the customs officers and damaged that building as well now moscow is outrage and demands quick in this occasion and a problem to apology from the crane in authorities meanwhile we've heard that ukrainian defense ministry had already denied all these accusations that any shooting took place near the russian border and russia is not concerned about the security in this area the president ordered back up for russian border guards then say happened before the the armored personnel carrier went into the russian territory and other incidents like that happening as well the military crackdown in eastern ukraine has caused hundreds of deaths and displaced thousands of people but
1:03 am
now president poroshenko has imposed a seven day ceasefire and his new peace plan and it includes an amnesty for those who agree to lay down their arms and who haven't committed grievous crimes also in the creation of a ten kilometer wide buffer zone along the border with russia changes to the constitution to guarantee the free and safe use of the russian language also the decentralization of power to the eastern regions also in their early local and parliamentary elections but one of the plans top point is to guarantee safety for all negotiating parties sorbo poroshenko himself is refusing to hold talks with leaders of the self-proclaimed republics. well before the ceasefire was implemented the army had been targeting cities across the east often with fatal results. it's a guess with. what has changed.
1:04 am
and this family we see here was left devastated when a mortar shell hit their backyard a young mother was killed on the spot five year old son was taken to hospital with multiple head wounds and their doctors for five hours to try to save his life but he died of his injuries on the operating table a mostly boat a senior lecturer in international relations and security studies at moscow state university believes president poroshenko is peace plan actually an ultimatum. the promises that they are guaranteeing for the russian language what they already had before the sports regime seized power and started to try to take away the russian language rights from the people as well this decentralization is not clearly defined but what we have seen so far is that only includes local executive committees that governors would still have the right to be overruled and appointed by kiev so there really is no decentralization. in this agreement
1:05 am
and there is no greater protection for russian language than already has existed the intention of the plan is to ensure as swift and as thorough a military victory as possible that is what this document says this document is in no way shape or form a peace plan it is an ultimatum and a promise of further military force. moscow's warned or some point because plan could lead to greater bloodshed rather than resolve the crisis we report more on line. but next to this is the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet america's most. vans the most expensive war the pentagon spent nearly four hundred billion dollars on its development in a program that seven years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget and experts point to numerous glitches that they say make the f. thirty five something different to what is being advertised as this though the
1:06 am
plane is still being touted to foreign buyers as a technological marvel as artie's breena portnoy explains the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet is the crandall the cram of military planes. and the pentagon's most expensive conventional weapons program it's a game changer the world's only fifth generation fighter jet is manufactured by lockheed martin combining state of the art technology with highly advanced avionics and maneuverability the pentagon plans to buy nearly twenty five hundred f. thirty five but delays and cost increases have left u.s. lawmakers frustrated over the three hundred eighty five billion dollar price tag and that's where america's allies come in. lockheed martin has turned to international partners including britain australia and canada collectively the countries have invested more than twenty billion dollars buying up the war craft.
1:07 am
as a global gamble there's never been anything anywhere near as expensive and the entire process is one in which the costs can only go up. the other problem is that the more they spans the more the united states and the manufacturer and now a whole bunch of other countries become invested more they have to go ahead any of these countries that want to because i guess feel that they have no choice boosting demand from foreign investors is believed to be essential for the pentagon and lockheed martin why because the more f. thirty five are produced the cheaper each jet is to build and maintain marina port naya r.t. . well the f. thirty five has been suffering one setback after another in the most recent case the entire fleet was grounded and testing suspended after one of the planes suffered an oil leak but the engines are not the only part where they say kraft is experiencing problems in fact as we can see right here the plane has been suffering
1:08 am
well documented hot spots and cracks head to tail the pentagon even prohibited it from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm that was out of fears that its fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning we spoke to the aircraft designer who says that on top of the technical glitches if the the five program is also plagued by bureaucracy. it's one of the worst airplanes we've ever designed. for a lot of reasons but the most important reason is that it was compromised by having to do three different jobs you can never make a good airplane if you don't focus on a single drop single mission and then they made it even worse by saying that we saved money by giving it up among three services so now you have three missions pulling the airplane in different directions now you have three services three bureaucracies adding their parochial points of view to the
1:09 am
airplane it was a complete mess and mind you this is the most expensive single project that the that the defense department has ever undertaken to say where the stairs are coming for you this hour solving the ugly side of the beautiful good russia is facing a tough task to contain football hooliganism as it prepares to take over from brazil but some think the issue's been overblown. and stay with us to find out how an online technology use this evidence of criminality against one u.s. hacker is now permitted for a giant corporation. an online push by the u.s. to promote a transatlantic partnership deal with europe has been met with criticism on both sides of the ocean twenty thousand dollars is being offered to anybody who comes up with lucrative trade ideas opponents say that that figure is tiny compared to the potential damage that massive cooperation agreement could be auntie's piece all of the details. the united states has been accused of
1:10 am
a cynical propaganda campaign after a tweet originated from its embassy just behind me here. this tweet was with regard to the transatlantic trade and investment partnership between europe and the united states now the tweet was offering up to twenty thousand u.s. dollars for any project people could come up that would protect the treat deal in a good light snow it has come in for some scathing criticism from people here in europe mostly because of worries over a decrease in standards the standards for products in europe are far higher than they are in the united states also on workers' rights as well now this is seen environmentalist environmentalists trade unions and health campaign is all railing against this trade deal to put that into perspective of the public opinion here in europe when it comes to the environment ninety six percent of germans say they have
1:11 am
faith in european environmental regulation well only two percent believe in regulations inforced in the united states there's also been controversy surrounding genetically modified foods not liked here in europe people have demonstrated against them however there is concern that because of u.s. labeling laws they could inadvertently become into the european markets so all of these things the same criticism of this well it's kind of backfired they have come in for far more criticism online because of this. well the transatlantic trade deal does look pretty good on paper the partnership would allow the removal of trade barriers and the regulator be differences hindering growth of the u.s. or e.u. economies would be washed away plus america and europe's collective g.d.p. could be boosted by around two hundred fifty billion dollars critics though believe that some pieces of the puzzle just. fit and they're worried that corporations
1:12 am
would end up ruling governments and taxpayers therefore have to foot the bill for anything that goes wrong and it would be almost impossible to hold any corporation to account because of the sheer size of the structure and a lack of transparency american michael shank of the friends committee on national legislation believes all that is an opportunity for the us and the e.u. to flex their muscles while it's good for investors it's bad for health it's bad for the environment it's bad for labor and it's bad for regulations that countries and states have worked for decades to institute so those are some of the biggest concerns and what it says to russia or what it says to china with the t p p is that we don't want you a part of this conversation and in this very globalized interconnected world particular in trade because we don't have many barriers between us and e.u. already so when we're doing t.j. it's not really about removing trade barriers because the tariffs are quite low it's about saying to the rest of the world we have this partnership it's exclusive
1:13 am
and you're not going to be a part of it continues on the way for you'll see after this short break. eugenics. vulgarized darwin science punishment for an uncommitted crying i was unfair in eighty feebleminded still today for the few i don't know why . but i still don't know why genetic improvement through forced sterilization the basis for nazi ideology they don't stop at just sterilizing and now go to the point of death. for years rarely discussed. till now really rather not talk about that right.

to protect the rights of jews intimidate their victims with death threats. what other media turns a blind eye to you gets on r.t. . welcome back you're watching r.t. international a pleasure as always to have your company next this hour russian football fans may cause their national team to be deducted points in the world cup as for reportedly displaying near nazi banners during their side's first match in brazil if proven it will be another blot on an already full copybook of russian football hooliganism that already features pitch attacks mass street rallies and even nationalist clashes but as a country prepares to actually host the big tournament in four years' time it is working hard on finding solutions as our correspondent. explains. showing support for your team in russia could mean this this.
1:16 am
or this. your first of your book whether in one thousand nine hundred eighty when spotlight was playing cisco in moscow we had a huge fight blue warriors came up against us there was more than eight hundred people involved in a brawl but you know and that is just one of the fights very silly described now a retired hooligan he says fan culture has changed massively in russia you know if you a stereotype of an english football hooligan or an italian ultras is no longer applied to us we went our own way now there are no loud criminal cases against you lagoons compared to the ninety's back in the soviet days football was considered one of the nation's sprites history's best goalkeeper left us and the team which won the first ever european championship and the police of revolutionary managers with the break up of the soviet union football just as many other spheres of life suffered
1:17 am
a major setback it may be a coincidence but along with these problems came calling in isn't. it's still unclear what caused this surge in violence but in recent years russian hooligans have remained visible from violent pitch invasion. and racist incidents involving swastikas in the stands near nazi views and as you know phobia are among the most debated issues back in twenty ten when a fan was killed during fighting in moscow that escalated into ethnic violence thousands of ultras made themselves heard right outside the walls of the kremlin. politically motivated people have always been close to find groups not only have a propagandized the culture of violence but they explained why this violence was needed that's why nasi views a popular there because force and violence are the basis of naziism and fascism but former hooligan in found over russia's largest fan movement developed at the nih of believes the issue is often blown up in the press and problems are usually solved
1:18 am
even before they appear. who spearheaded events at the my down in ukraine some of them are in the national guard now so potentially this is a very dangerous part of society but are all thorgils are pursuing a very clever strategy with hooligan communities so there's no danger from them in russia these fights happen every weekend but no one knows of them they happen out of town in forests and strictly upon agreement. the twenty thirteen movie okola footballer tells the story of a firm of hooligans consisting partially of white collar workers where death and destruction rub shoulders with love and friendship one of its characters keeps asking the question why do you fight this in the days when all of. the movie slogan is we cannot change real life has proven they can insist of a sealy it's just a matter of whether the rest of the world will be happy with this evolution of the russian fan culture when the country hosts the next world cup in twenty eighteen
1:19 am
let's see moscow. we're covering plenty more stories on our website had there for details of mass panic caused by a visitor in the skies. learn why a google balloon sent shivers down the spine of locals and emergency services in new zealand. also the details of an unexpected tornado that swept through the turkish city of istanbul tearing off roofs off shops and sending people fleeing for cover you get all the pictures and the videos online at r.t. dot com. thirty five years in prison the confiscation of assets and a million dollar fine but was the punishment a young u.s. programmer was facing before he committed suicide even accused of using anti tracking technology on line but wasn't allowed for one individual house being greenlit for computer giant our pool which is now installing the very same system
1:20 am
into its products artie's gannett if you can reports. apple is taking a step toward preventing mobile devices from broadcasting information about their users whereabouts the company announced that he believes the mac addresses emitted by its wireless devices as an anti tracking measure the mac address is of course the unique number that identifies you on a network tech experts also point out the said i would be when an individual namely internet pioneer late aaron swartz spoofed his mac address the government held it out as evidence of criminality in his indictment aaron swartz was arrested in two thousand and eleven for downloading academic articles from a subscription based research website at his university with the intention to make them available to the public although none of what he has downloaded was classified prosecutors wanted to put him in jail for thirty five years aaron swartz has had earlier drawn the f.b.i. is attention in two thousand and eight twenty downloaded and released about three
1:21 am
million federal court documents from a restricted service the government did not press charges then because the documents were in fact public aaron swartz became an internet freedom activist calling for others to join we interviewed him a number of times here in our team. and it's the foundation of our constitution the government is constrained by having someone else check off to make sure they're not abusing their power aaron swartz committed suicide at the age of twenty six his family and friends believe the government's with this persecution was a major factor it's interesting how tech giant apple is now developing its privacy protecting measure when aaron swartz did it the government thought it was a crime anyway tech experts say there are still other ways to track you down via your smartphone and spoofing your mac address alone will not make you untraceable frontiere foundation described apple's initiative as opening in the middle of a hurricane but privacy advocates welcomed the step they hope more companies will
1:22 am
rise to the challenge of protecting their users. journalist and civil rights activist david seaman told me that technology will not protect users from being spied on. there are number of other hardware identifiers aside from the mac address that your cell phone is still emitting so this definitely doesn't restore total privacy to the user but there's also a larger theme here which is that governments are spying on us and these cell phones are not designed to be all that secure from day one clearly there is a double standard out there if you're a large tech company the government will turn the other way but aaron schwartz this is one of the things they used against him was that he spoofed mac addresses apparently and it just goes to show you that there are people within this government who use some of these outdated laws and use an incomplete understanding of internet technology to pretty much go after whoever they don't like and to make that person's life a lot more difficult with hard to fight charges next to un report says that more

1:24 am
bush in india attacking iraq and casting down the cinese from the top of society to the bottom destroying the state of iraq which kindled this sectarian struggle the united states is debating today about how much support to give to maliki many people believe that he is too sectarian that if america supports him it will offend sudanese turn send the world against the united states and alienate our support in the gulf therefore they are very reluctant to get in with direct military support they would like to get diplomats on the ground to begin negotiating as they did during the occupation. let's get a world update for you now starting with the details from doctors without borders who say the outbreak of the deadly ebola virus is out of control as it continues to
1:25 am
sweep across africa according to the world health organization more than three hundred thirty people have been confirmed dead so far cases have been reported in sierra leone liberia and guinea the virus kills around ninety percent of it for patients. elsewhere blast has killed the security officer near a checkpoint in eastern lebanon dozens more people were seriously wounded in that incident no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack is the latest in a series of assaults on shiite muslims across lebanon just the past few months no. more security forces in china's restive west repelled an assault on a police station that killed thirteen attackers three officers were injured as attackers drove a vehicle laden with explosives into the building facials blame. militance for the assaults china has seen a rise of insurgent attacks by the group in recent months with deadly bombings and
1:26 am
knife attacks that targeted civilians. ok i'll be back with the very latest news headlines at around twenty five minutes from now before that though don't miss the chance to watch a documentary about the history of selective breeding and for those of you watching as in the u.k. it sputnik. so are we going back to iraq recently violence has flared up as insurgents are taking cities from the current iraqi government and response to this chaos obama declared that his administration is prepared to take military action whenever our national security is threatened oh well since the weapons of mass destruction were never found in iraq and the current militants can't shoot their forty seven's over the ocean i don't see how us national security is at risk now or before the iraq war even started but on the other hand the flow of oil from us but tamia well that
1:27 am
might be at risk but sometimes i forget that obama is a politician and just a day later he was quoted as saying quite the opposite about the same situation declaring that we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq which sounds great to my ears until you wait yet another few days and now he is saying that they want to send at least two hundred seventy five troops to provide support and security for u.s. personnel and the us embassy in baghdad i think this orwellian attitude towards the truth comes from two factors one lying works and obama gets away with it and to the fear of looking weak presidents have to act confident like they were total control of that awesome plan even when they have no idea what they're going to do i think this is the case with this iraq issue but that's just my opinion.
