a year since he escaped from the hands of washington and a dramatic flight to russia edward snowden remains in hiding but the revelations keep coming we report on the latest. argued scenes of video apparently showing ukrainian artillery fire close to russia's border meanwhile authorities say forty children have been killed since the conflict began in the east. it was foreign minister gets cut off leaks scandal as an alleged conversation saying the nation's been pounded ring to america is published by a magazine. and in our office is rated by israeli defense forces this part of a crackdown on the palestinian territory.

which are due to national coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshing he is a man who has changed our vision of the world and is among america's most wanted this day and a year ago for in the same chloe edward snowden landed in russia he's asylum and next month and is still not clear what's next for him but for now his whereabouts are shrouded in mystery as he's worried that the white house won't let him go so easily argues a gorgeous going off looks at how he managed to slip through washington's fingers. c.n.n. now has the word that edward snowden has left hong kong there are many questions about why snowden is able to stay one step ahead of american authorities snowden is reported to be on a flight to moscow the arrivals hall of moscow's airport sector a terminal on june twenty third two thousand and thirteen this is where that flight

from hong kong with edward snowden on board arrived. these doors were surrounded by a whole army of journalists with cameras and microphones some broadcasting life pictures of everything that was going on here but when the last passenger finally came out and there was still no sign of them became clear the next most probable place there could be if not here then inside the transit zone. the american whistleblower edward snowden is thought to be in moscow airport it looks like snowden is spending the night in the transit area of moscow's sheremetyevo airport but all indications are that he's about one hundred meters away from where i'm standing it journalists photographers t.v. radio press agencies you name it and everyone was looking for snowden everywhere in every corner in every bathroom in v.a.p. rooms even under seats but no one could find him but soon information quickly

spread that it was inside the capsule hotel right here in the transit zone that the former n.s.a. contractor was in. so as all this chaos was happening outside the hotel most wakely edward snowden was sitting in one of these rooms planning his further actions the plans that no one guessed in the end it became known that snowden and his advisor had been checked in for a flight to cuba so naturally dozens of us rushed to get on that flight some even coughed up the cash for business class hoping for an exclusive interview but once again the former n.s.a. contractor. let's cross now to our team who is aboard the flight so you're gore you're joining us by phone. tell us what you can see on the plane is snowed in there or is there no sign of a. remarkable just a walk to the doors of the plane we're actually now taxiing onto the airstrip we're about to take off very shortly and i can tell you with one hundred

percent one hundred fifty percent. not on this plane the plane packed with journalists took off with the two seats allegedly booked for snowden and his advisors still empty so what we thought might be the end of the russian chapter for snowden was actually just the beginning after spending weeks in that transit zone the whistleblower finally received temporary asylum in russia where he is today but even a year on security and safety concerns mean exact whereabouts are still shrouded in secrecy is going to moscow. america's national security agency has been collecting thousands of e-mails annually britain's g.c. h.q. spied an every phase bill google and twitter user german intelligence here stannis a spy program and these are just some of the few have the headlines that have hit media since ad word snowden leaked documents on the u.s. u.k. spying program now his revelations left the world shocked so what have we

learned. well if you are an american citizen your phone and video calls as well as your emails q.b. routinely intercepted by special services and here's another saying have you trusted your private data with google yahoo or facebook well they are sharing it with the government too and even being a president won't help it will ground your plane over suspicions you have a whistleblower on board and that's what happened to believe you later adam or all it's freedom of press is nothing when it comes to a scandal of such proportions a major you can't use paper became the target of police raids for publishing the revelations friends do spy on friends the n.s.a. has been tapping into germany's angela merkel's phone and that's not all the latest leak from snowden shows germany has actually been a launch pad for america's ask in europe are just they're all over has a details of that story over the last twelve months edward snowden's revelations of

showing that not only is germany at the very heart of the n.s.a. surveillance program but that the germans themselves are among the most spied on and listened to in the world with millions of data connections being tracked putting them alongside the likes of afghanistan on the rock and it's not just those suspected of having committed a crime that is being snooped on here at the german chancellor rhee there was a breach of security when it was revealed that america's private cell phone is being listened to by the americans prompting a few angry phone calls and general all round embarrassment. it now seems unlikely there will be a full investigation into what went on leaked n.s.a. documents talk about an intimate relationship between the german and us government something which is upset people here because they fear they'll never find out the true scope of the snooping that went on and how involved germany was in spying on its own people always spoke to hans christian strong boy german politician who has

met outward snowden he believes the german government isn't taking the issue of n.s.a. spying seriously and has no intention of investigating it. we have complained all the time the german government does not take it seriously and does not want to participate in investigation and draw consequences from it we're continuing to criticize them for it is an awkward situation for them and stop an interchange list phone is just a small part of what is more important according to speakers there are a large segments of the german population that have been spied on five million ten million forty million we don't know these are very serious violations of basic rights and they're much worse than just tapping into chancellor's phone. if you want to know more about snowden's escape the events that follow it or the revelations that he made you can log onto our website r.t. dot com all the information you need is just

a click away. ukrainian authorities anti-government fighters are accusing each other of violating the truce amid evidence fresh attacks have taken place in the east meanwhile the country's health ministry says dozens of children have been killed in the two month military crackdown are just around cosgrove joins us live now for more on this what ramana we understand the tensions persist in the region despite the declared cease fire tell us more about the latest incidents. absolutely well only yesterday a railway was blasted a russian train a freight train arriving here in ukraine it was derailed as a result of a blast and another its wind blast damaged a nearby track as well and investigators are now working on who the assailants actually were and you're absolutely right this still happening and despite the announcement of a unilateral ceasefire by president reporter schenkel and the shelling and

artillery fire continues actually obtained footage which was shot from the russian side of the border as about thirty million thirty minute says shelling was conducted reportedly by the ukrainian national guard about one kilometer away from the russian border now of course this conflict has quite a few casualties and people with guns are not the only casualties. ukrainian parliament's health officials say at least forty children have already died as a result soulful ukraine's it can it's of action in the east of the country the representative said that say kids died because of either a shouting or a direct gunfire. while we have been in the area for a while tell us how are the people coping i guess they are the ones bearing the

brunt of it all. well here in donetsk people are already experiencing drinking water shortages but the situation is a lot more a dire in the city all follow gonski which is which haven't seen drinking water for quiet's a long time for a couple of weeks at least and we can see a long queues at least five kilometers long people line up for water and it's a regular occurrence either and this is all leading to an epidemic according to a local officials and of course there is a shortages of food and electricity supply as well you can see empty shelves in stores and meanwhile the city of slovyansk itself is slowly but surely turning into a ghost town as people are fleeing the shelling and there are it's already gunfire . right ron thanks so much for bringing us the latest i understand the situation is pretty dire there but thanks for your obviate among cost of there are now hundreds

of refugee camps are stretched along the russia ukraine border to accommodate tens of thousands of people that have fled from the east washington is however expressing doubts that there is a massive flow of refugees. in terms of the refugee numbers and we've looked into russian reports of large numbers of refugees fleeing russia and i've seen no evidence to go to chris. fleeing for fleeing to russia sorry plane to russia and said see no evidence to substantiate. a u.n. representative visited one of the temporary camps in southern russia and here's what he said. because if you see my post despite what anyone says the fact that the person is forced to leave his home his native country is a huge problem comes they didn't come here as tourists when tens of thousands of ukrainian refugees flee across the border it's

a problem and to deny it is wrong. and alleged risky statement of poland being a servant of the us might be about to leave the country's foreign minister or red faced a polish news magazines has its obtaining a leaked recording of the diplomat calling poland's alliance with the us worthless a transcript of the leaks suggest he also used much stronger language to describe how he feels about his country's relationship with america while there has been no official response to the article but charles mcgrath the founder of the wide awake news believes poland's leaders have good reason to think that way. the best example i could say there is you know it creates this false sense of security because you have the united states around you look at iraq look at iraq right now after a decade of prosecuting a war on terror and leaving allegedly with it with this stable government of the by for the iraqi people it's a complete and utter mess again we we help be stabilized with our taxpayer dollars

the elected government of ukraine and europe past to now sit and be concerned about their energy future because you have russian pipelines that are being blown up so you know i really do think that you know these candid words that were caught really telling to what the people will be what the so-called leadership in poland is worried about. and coming up later in the program the iraqi army keeps losing ground as militants kill so many prisoners in a town on a police convoy we report from the collapsing state also. we'll give you has up on some of the world's strangest laws why you shouldn't name your pig napoleon in france or go kissing in public if you have a mustache in america's midwest that's just ahead here on r t international. meantime israeli troops have rated r t's office in the west bank wrecking equipment and seizing records the assault was apparently part of

a crackdown on local media centers and a broader campaign against the palestinian authorities him tel aviv holds responsible for the abduction of three israeli teenagers mohammad hassan deputy had r t r big joins me now in the studio for more on this thanks so much mr sun for being with us in the studio now in your opinion why was he office targeted in the first place so we can say that he was targeted. after we've learned that we've we we've for us it was a question why that happened and we we asked them why what. happened officially for it was in that they were looking for a lot of the television claiming that there isn't a direct order they said that it's a room for four from us and we said ok but the looks that is not in the same building right but then another thing is i mean how was this raid conducted was anyone hurt or arrested during it no one was conducted it happened after midnight everybody was it home the only guards who opened the door of the building then they

broke all the doors and they both are. still for us to question why they did that ok we had several stories why they did that we had the first election television as i mentioned then it was a good still a vision but. was not confiscated that hard disks then we. for more now the recent information that our producers after the told with an official the. idea of they told us ok we'll bring you back everything so what is not accepted accepted at all is how they enter our offices and break our computers or internet connection take whatever they want take a look and come back so basically they had no warning at all and i mean in such cases they should have some warning from authorities know it's there the authorities are right so they can and over the net without any notice at all we respect their loads we work in israel as a journalist writing to their loads we go there with their press conferences

without breaking doing so we expect the same attitude toward us we are ready to cooperate to find the truth they damage their property moreover they got access to your hard drives and stuff but who is going now to answer for that i mean what are you going to do about it well so far we are still waiting for an official response from the their party. i know that our editor in chief of these group leaves are going to through a ministry for four in the fears russian ministry for foreign affairs to ask for exact or accurate. response for this behavior we hope that they will give us kind of apologize i'm sure that the equipment is not the problem the problem is the attitude the work with us sure but you know we have a story here that i mean they were looking for the mission was to find the kidnapped teenagers right and they were trying to do so in an r.t.

office getting access to information hard drives etc so i mean how could our teaser records help them in their initial search that's the question the big question mark not only on peroration now. taking prison small children even the israeli human rights groups accuse them of the. so there's a lot of question marks on the way they're trying to find these conducts people we are in our part as journalists where we will support every mean to find the truth we will cooperate i will say again if that is in the media if they come and ask us to show them our archives we have nothing to hide we show our viewers everything and we're ready to show them but it's that's not the way you should ask for that sure and one final question here i mean is it usual for israeli troops to raid palestinian media outlets well it's hard for me to say if it's the media targeted when it's how the story get it children schools and everything the media can go in

this big bunch of everything right as a mom and a devotee have thank you so much for coming to the studio and share with us your thoughts on this rate thank you. fortunately or national and i'll be back was a more news very shortly to stay with us. this is the media leave us so we leave the media. by the same motions your. party there's a good. shoes that no one is asking with again that you deserve answers from.

politics. do we speak your language as anybody will or not a day in. your program see documentaries and spanish more matters to you. a little eternity of angola's stories. here. i'll teach spanish to find out more visit i to our. tivo it's comb. welcome back you're watching our to international and iraq at least seventy prisoners have been killed by jihad is tuesday attacked a police convoy near the capital this is a report from human rights watch and it suggests the islamist are using children to

carry out suicide missions the document also says as some children are used as snipers mission carriers and even human shields music up and reports now on the sectarian division tearing the country apart. the march on baghdad for now on hold instead of just hottest fighters tightened their grip on western iraq this weekend's gains three border crossings into syria and jordan and for nearby towns territory now for only in the hands of insurgents from the islamic state in iraq and syria. despite the chaos spreading across the country and eerie calm in the kurdish capital the city is just sixty kilometers from the isis front line but it downtown erbil it was business as usual kurdistan has often felt like a separate country altogether even at the height of iraq's most of the violence and

bloodiest moments now but the current crisis treading the country to pieces it's closer than ever to becoming one with kurdish soldiers are now in control of territory that used to be disputed but no one here seems to think that the hardest would dare march on them. but i have food faith and forces the one let's anything happen. for some the prospect of a divided iraq was a welcome one do you think that iraq will remain one country as we know what's after this crisis may be that may be that iraq will have to be divided will have an area and the sunnis and shias will have there is no one in kurdistan is more and we have oil we have a strong army. they may help or oil but fuel is running scarce for days now iraqi forces battled with isis for control of the country's largest oil refinery this is one of the first things you notice here in our buildings

massive gas lines some of the cars have been here for hours since the morning many people in fact camped out overnight to try to get online so they can get gas frustrated residents line up to get their share authorities have limited each individual to thirty leaders that's less than what it takes to fill two tanks. or seen entering their newly purchased supply into containers in order to go back for more it's a very unusual situation where it's kurdish police officers guarding the gas stations here just to prevent fights and conflicts and breaking out the people we've spoken to said there haven't been lines like this for fuel since big outbreak of the u.s. led invasion back in two thousand and three and although there are shortages here in erbil parts of northern iraq have run out of gas even on the black market and so people are stocking up they say that they don't know what the ring of the fear is but it'll get a lot worse before it gets better. that's a sentiment we heard from many here this man fled the sunni dominated and our

province it's not ice is that he was afraid of that argument is that because we're scared of shelling from the iraqi army. and it's not just a knees fleeing the violence we encountered shia refugees to. thought still don't see job or came here six days ago from baghdad in baghdad the situation has gone from bad to worse and people are arming themselves and getting ready to fight one another all they see in the future is bloodshed and violence if something doesn't change iraq will be a country of orphans and widows caffein of erbil iraq. and another a new court in egypt has sentenced three al jazeera journalists to seven years in prison for aiding the muslim brotherhood and spreading false news the man who were arrested last december while covering the aftermath of the two i cood to oust the president morsi qatar based al-jazeera was banned from operating in egypt following

accusations of making sympathetic reports about the former president and his supporters. israeli fighter jets have struck nine military targets including a command center in syria this came in response to shelling that killed a teenager in the disputed golan heights three others including the boy's father were injured in the attack it's not know whether the first strike was carried out by syrian rebels or government troops. police in pakistan have battled hundreds of supporters of a prominent anti-government cleric using tear gas to disperse the crowds the preacher arrived from canada out where he currently lives to spearhead a peaceful revolution against the country's prime minister last week eight of his followers were killed in clashes in the city of lahore. it might be easy to get lost when travelling but more worrying is far in foul the country's laws while on

a trip especially when it comes to legislation not even locals know existed are his marine acosta reports from france. imagine walking through a train station with your headphones on minding your own business and suddenly you're slapped with a three hundred seventy five euro fine because someone decided your music was too loud well that actually happened in france where twenty first century reality meets the legislation of guess the year the country's state's owned railway company justified itself with a nine hundred forty two law which forbids any person from using in train cars or waiting rooms on platforms or in train stations sound like in devices or instruments completely open i understand fining someone for throwing a cigarette by chewing gum but someone with headphones i don't see how it bothers anyone. the whole heap of a person wants to listen to their music they have a right to according to me i think it is strange that we find someone was just listening to music i listen to music all the time i find it strange. that all of us

could be picking our nose at the train station and they will find us they will make us pay you scratch your bum you will have to pay france is this way now reducing civil liberties step by step. so exactly what else is forbidden in france. name in the pagan the polian kissing on the railways what is legal however is getting divorced because your partner smokes too much or is a little too obsessed by football and it's even legal for french parents to prevent their adult children from getting married. i think that little made sense at the time when it was created but nowadays it could be interpreted in a completely different way depending on the person who finds you i think we need to review and adapt to that now. puts you under the years women in france had to wear skirts or dresses if they wanted to be law abiding citizens they were only allowed to wear trousers if they were holding the reins of a horse or a bicycle handlebar well the law will scrap last year so there's hope for the

french additional system will eventually i'm sure the twenty first century but in the meantime if you plan to come here very well i thought you might end up breaking the law without even knowing it's going to cost of our reporter from paris for thirty. well live and learn as they say and it's not only french laws you may find odd in saudi arabia for example you can get married no matter how old you are and you certainly don't want to step on money in thailand because you just might have found the king samoans know how to keep a marriage strong they made it illegal to forget your wife's birthday and last but not least don't dare go kissing in public if you have a mustache that's illegal in the united states in the u.s. state of iowa well on this positive note coming up on our teacher national it's cross stock with peter lavelle but if you are in the u.k. it's so he was a founder of the u.k. party.

is the was use of good because he was nazi germany's minister of propaganda the myths that he created exist to this day. he was the group was propaganda it was supposed actually trying to denigrate other news. while at the same time raising ordinary german so students would. keep its complete use of goebbels knew precisely what the masses needed to hear in order to make them follow him he was like the pied piper from the fairy tale who made the rats follow the tune of his plight. the myths created by the chief nazi ideologist bound for tal saw in the west we have to fight these myths today in memory of those

who walked in the second world war. will come to the truth to some show thirty fold can just bend over fifteen billion euros and pulled his head says to be one hundred fifty million degrees with the unspoken mark noll to sell from st petersburg to france we travel in search of the song. we've got the future covered. leave me. alone welcome the prophet for all things are considered i'm peter lobo the scramble to save iraq as the bad.
