wherever you're watching from in the world welcome to moscow and to our to international i mean and o'neill our top story a russian checkpoint on the border with ukraine has come under shelling with shrapnel causing a border guard injuries the attack occurred as self-defense forces in eastern ukraine clashed with the army the military said to have used mortar fire which then hit the checkpoint it happened when refugees were crossing the border and we've heard from a witness you want to hook people who are fleeing from ukraine so i went to the buddhist to offer my assistance there were lots of children in the room if you want him and i brought him sweets and cheer them up i had the gun far as i was coming up to the border people were screaming and running machine it was several gunshots it was very scary to see women and children the growing for some time and when i came back to the checkpoint was a. a bus carrying ukrainian refugees most of them children also came under fire on another crossing. has more on the growing tension along the russia ukraine border.

moscow has demanded an explanation and investigation from the authorities in kiev over the shelling of the russian border point overnight meanwhile the key of defense ministry denies any such thing has ever taken place but we have the russian border guard their representative who gave us this information because of the deal we were inside the building when this horrific shelling began we started moving everyone at the checkpoint to safety one of the officers suffered a head injury at the time of the incident around two hundred refugees will crossing the border also russian border control service says that bus carrying thirty six ukrainian children was also shot at while it was crossing the russian border thankfully the kids are safe and sound there already in their role stall for a region in one of their refugee camps also on friday night in a separate incident a ukrainian border control points was also was shot at and aid to soldiers who were

there they sought refuge and shelter on the russian territory where they crossed meanwhile moscow is now strengthening its borders along with ukraine. russian president vladimir putin has ordered troops deployed in central russia to be placed on alert it's to check the army's readiness on is part of their military training around sixty five thousand troops are said to be taking part in the drills i will last for a week. it's worried about the military action in eastern ukraine it comes as president poroshenko imposed a seven day cease fire under a new peace plan that includes an honesty for those who agree to lay down their arms and haven't committed sin for your crimes also the creation of a ten kilometer wide buffer zone along the border with russia changes to the constitution to guarantee that free and safe use of the russian language is another the decentralization of power to the eastern regions early local un parliamentary

elections. as well and one of the plan's top points is that guarantee safety for all negotiating sides. refusing to hold talks with the leaders of the self-proclaimed republics while moscow boycotting the dialogue is a violation of international peace agreements before the ceasefire was implemented the army had been targeting cities across the east often with feet of results would be. a review what. do you think it will. that have to do just that. this family was left devastated when a mortar shell hit their backyard a young mother was killed on the spot her five year old son was taken to hospital with multiple head wounds doctors four for five hours to save his life but he died of his injuries on the operating table marks the boat

a senior lecturer in international relations and security studies at moscow state university believes president pushing his peace plan is quite simply an ultimatum. peace by definition is negotiated and poor shango has already declared that there will be no negotiation with the political and militant leaders on the ground in the eastern ukraine so this is not a peace plan this is an ultimatum a demand for the unconditional surrender under promise of extermination as well this decentralization is not clearly defined but what we have seen so far is that only includes a local executive committees that governors would still have the right to be overruled and appointed by this declaration of a cease fire is merely a p.r. move by the poor janko regime in the run up it's not a surprise that the declared ceasefire ends on the very day that poroshenko was

supposed to sign the e.u. association agreement. a months long military offensive has forced tens of thousands to flee to neighboring russia hundreds queue on the border to take shelter in refugee camps and you can hear some of their stories on our t. dot com. this is the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet america's most advanced and expensive war plane and it's just been given yet another boost in a new defense spending bill that is despite the pentagon having shelled almost four hundred billion dollars on this development already to cover the cost the planes are being tied it to foreign buyers are portnoy explains. the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet is the crandell a crime of military planes. and the pentagon's most expensive conventional weapons program it's a game changer the f. thirty five 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 the 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 a weapon that many experts view 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 spend in the more the united states and the manufacturer and now a whole bunch of other countries become invested more they have to go ahead in any of these countries that want to because i 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 her in a port party. and indeed the f. thirty five has been suffering one setback after a no other in the most recent case the entire fleet was grounded on testing suspended after one of the planes suffered oil leak but the engines are not the only part where they are kroft is experiencing problems in fact as you're about to see the plane has been suffering well documented hot spots on cracks head to tail the pentagon. even prohibited from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm i did for years it's a fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning now we spoke to an earth designer who stays on top of the technical glitches the f. thirty five program is also plagued by red tape 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 a single mission and then they made it even worse 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 point of view to the 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 the muslim brotherhood once again feels the wrath of egypt's government as the great spiritual leader and more than one hundred eighty supporters one hundred death sentences for their antique government all pricing we'll hear more about the possible echoes of the decision.

also russia is facing a tough task to contain football hooliganism as it prepares to take over world cup hosting duties from brazil but something the issue has been. 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 anyone who comes up with lucrative trade ideas but opponents say that figures tiny compared to the potential damage the massive cooperation agreement could tease peter all of our has the details for us. the united states has been accused of 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 faith in european environmental regulation well only two percent believe in regulations inforced in the united states has 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 they have come in for far more criticism online because of this. well the transatlantic deal does look good on paper the partnership with a lot of the removal of trade barriers and the regulatory differences hindering growth of the u.s. or the e.u.'s economy well they'd just be washed away plus america on europe's collective g.d.p. could be boosted by around two hundred and fifty billion dollars but critics believe some pieces of the puzzle well they just don't fit their worry corporations would end up ruling governments on tax payers they're for footing the bill for anything that could go wrong and it would be almost impossible to hold any corporation to account because of the sheer size of the search on a lack of transparency michael shank of the u.s. friends committee on national legislation believes all that is an opportunity for

washington 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 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 particularly on 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 and you're not going to be a part of it you're watching r t international much more news coming off the break for you. hello. hello. hello.

your first in one thousand nine hundred eighty when sports night was playing cisco in moscow we had a huge fight went 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 i see described now a retired hooligan he says fan culture has changed massively russia did it 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 look at them compared to the ninety's back in the soviet days football was considered one of the nation's prides 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 a major setback it may be a coincidence but along with these problems came whole organism it's still unclear what caused the surge in violence but in recent years russian hooligans have

remained visible from violent pitch invasions to master and racist incidents involving swastikas in the stands near nazi views and you know phobia are among the most debated issues back in twenty ten when a fan was two or during fighting in moscow that escalated into ethnic violence thousands of ultras made themselves heard right outside the walls of the kremlin. look at all politically motivated people have always been close to fan groups not only have they propagandize the culture of violence but they explained why this violence was needed that's why nasi views of popular there because force and violence are the basis of naziism and fascism but former hooligan and founder of russia's largest fan movement democracy and i have believes the. issue is often blown up in the press and problems are usually solved even before they appear. who spearheaded events at the my down in ukraine some of them around the nationalities are pursuing a very clever strategy but who live in communities so there's no danger from them

prosecutors wanted to put him in jail for thirty five years word has had earlier drawn the f.b.i.'s attention in two thousand and eight twenty he downloaded and released about three million federal court documents from a restricted service the government did not press charges then because the documents were in fact public warrants 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 relentless 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

but for now here's a quick preview. this entire isis episode shows the incredible strategic blunder of president george w. bush in 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 direct military support they would like to get diplomats on the ground to begin negotiating as they did during the occupation. time for more news from around the globe doctors without borders save the i pick up

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 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 and do 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 with an 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.
