that it does at least try to keep up with the deadlines obviously considering the fact that there is a civil war going on in the country it wasn't easy there have been some deadlines that have been missed by syria however the deadline for the complete removal and destruction of syrian weapons was on june thirtieth of this year and that is a week away and it does look like in fact when it comes down to the finale office process which of course was brokered by russia with the united states last september it does look like syria actually is keeping up with all the time constraints that were set forward in the beginning of this very difficult and get productive process. thanks so much for this update your english go there and coming up in the program artie's west bank bureaus salvages what's left after an israeli military raid but the i.d.f. struggled to explain itself to us as to why troops stormed our office warned that

10:05 am
doors were surrounded by a whole army of journalists with cameras and microphones broadcasting the 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 is about one hundred meters away from where i'm standing at the 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
10:06 am
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 guest 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 out our t.j. 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. truly remarkable he just watched the doors of the plane which were actually now actually in. the air strip where we're about to. be and i can tell you with one hundred. one hundred fifty percent. not on this
10:07 am
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 to be but even a year on security and safety concerns mean edward snowden's exact whereabouts are still shrouded in secrecy it's going to moscow all memory the headlines america's national security agency collecting thousands of e-mails annually britain's got it sideways through the privacy walls of facebook google and twitter accounts german intelligence used the n.s.a. spying program and so they kept coming piling embarrassment on to the united states and britain and their spy programs it was a wake up call for the rest of us what knew how we learned about our daily routine
10:08 am
well if you are an american your phone and video calls as well as your e-mail scam be routinely intercepted by special services and here's another thing have you trusted your private data with google yahoo or facebook well this means the government has been able to access it to even being a president on how they will ground your plane if they suspect a whistleblower isn't bored and that's exactly what happened to bolivia leader ever more allah's press freedom get swept aside when governments reputations are at stake at a major major u.k. newspaper became the target of police raids for publishing the revelation. france do spy on france the n.s.a. has been tapping into germany's angela merkel's phone but embarrassingly for berlin the latest snowden leak shows germany has actually been a launch pad for america's espionage in europe peed all over has more on a story. over the last twelve months edward snowden's revelations of showing that
10:09 am
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 angle 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 former cia officer ray mcgovern believes that no one in the american
10:10 am
government wants the surveillance to stop as all three branches of power are in fact complicit with the n.s.a. all american citizens who are willing to be informed and do not wish to remain in denial realize that a very very draconian dragnet type operation is being worked on them whereby all our emails all our telephone calls and not just the message that is so to speak not just the addresses whom they are speaking with and how long but the content surveillance continues because in a very odd way all three branches of our government are complicit the executive branch which runs the n.s.a. the legislative branch congress which approved what she is doing and british sherry they too had become comply. well if you want to know more about snowden's escape the events that followed the war the revelations that he may have to r.t.

dot com. ukrainian anti-government fighters are accusing the government of violating its own ceasefire with fresh offensives keven terror and blames the rebels for the failure of the truce as ramon koester of reports it's not only the man with guns have been paying the price. r.t. received a video shot from the russian territory near the crane and border that showed at least thirty minutes shelling an area about one kilometer away from the a russian border and apparently it was done from the positions of ukrainian national guards and of course in this conflict people continue and people with guns are not the only casualties according to ukraine's head of the cranium parliament's health committee at least forty children perished as the result of the committee of action in eastern ukraine and children die mostly because of shelling and
10:12 am
direct gunfire moreover a russian a freight train of was heading into ukraine and was already in the creating the territory when a blast occurred and as a result fourteen train cars were deal rails and another twin blasts damaged a nearby track as well and investigators are now working on the scene to that sermon who the sailors were and of course their restoring their railway as well now here in donetsk people are already experiencing drinking water shortages but the situation is a lot more a dire in a city all follow gone sky which is which hadn'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 out for water and it's a regular occurrence either and this is all leading to an epidemic according to the local officials and of course there is shortages of food and electricity supply as
10:13 am
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 already gunfire international affairs acts but i always am a poor he says that what sets the new government in kiev apart is a slog of confrontation. the consistent practices of the mind. in which these new government in kiev has emerge is to consume confrontation whenever it meets any resistance and tools whenever that resistance grows. more confrontation and that has been the pattern in the eastern ukraine still it would frankly require enormous external pressure on keir for that to change and at the moment there is little son. poland's foreign minister has been secretly
10:14 am
taped comparing his country's relationship whether you ask to a sexual act and it's washington that's come out on top a polish news magazine claims it's obtained lead to a recording of a diplomat calling the alliance for the us worthless a transcript of the leak details him saying war so was giving oral sex to america and return for an illusion of safety and that it's costing poland its relationships with europe and russia but political scientist mateschitz course he told us that something the polish public already understands. let me star incident which is obvious far for everyone here in poland for most of the analysts as does the voice of the opium which is shared by most of the population here i would like also to add to that because can also work he's talking about because for a long time he has been poor percy fear in poland an american agent of influence so i hope that the progress of poland in russia and that france in germany and will at
10:15 am
least know that the polish politicians understand the real natural sat relations between us and poland. now i says militants are tightening their grip on iraq taking more cities across the country's northwest while the country's security forces battle to secure control of iraq's largest oil refinery is few in the north runs low. there's a medium leave also we believe that maybe by the sea ocean security for your party
10:16 am
years ago it was jews that no one is asking with the guess that you deserve answers from. politicking only on r t. choose your language. actually make it without any of the materials that are so similar. to the opinions that you the great. choose the stories to. choose access to. welcome back you're watching r t international artie's office in the west bank is trying to salvage its work after suffering a devastating raid by israeli troops the assault was apparently part of
10:17 am
a crackdown on local media centers and a broader campaign against the palestinian authorities who are being blamed for the kidnap of three israeli teenagers soldiers forced their way into a building used by transmission company media where artie's office is also based they damage furniture technical equipment and completely destroyed computer hardware troops also confiscated some archive materials and r.t. asked the israeli defense forces for an explanation since the channel is not linked to the work of palestinian media the i.d.f. answers fell somewhat short. of first israeli authorities said the go of the raid was the oxen channel which is surprising since that challenge studio is based in another building so the i.d.f. tried again saying that no they were actually trying to search al quds t.v. well eventually the i.d.f. admitted its operational target was the entire media complex and that's why the are to staff and library materials were confiscated while they have promised to return
10:18 am
the equipment but only after examining it for terrorist content devotee have r.t. arabic told me that israeli forces raids are going too far. it happened after midnight everybody was it home the only guard who opened the door of the building when they broke all the doors broke our. office what is not accepted accepted at old is how they enter our offices break our computers our internet connection take whatever they want now we. are taking prison small children even the israeli human rights groups accuse them of doing so there is a lot of question marks on the way they are trying to find these kidnapped people we are in our part as journalists where we will support every mean to find the truth we will call great i will say again if that is in the mean if they come and ask us to show them our archives we have nothing to hide we show our viewers everything we are ready to show them but it's it's not the way you should ask for
10:19 am
that. the u.s. secretary of state is urging iraqi leaders to waste no time in forming a more inclusive government john kerry is on a surprise visit to baghdad america has already sent military advisers to help the country's army to quell the isis fighters and the latest wave of violence there at least seventy prisoners were killed by jihad as they attacked a police convoy near the capital isis has also seized the strategic shia majority town of tal afar and now controls its airports hundreds of iraqi soldiers according to prime minister maliki have died at the hands of insurgents was a couple of reports now on the sectarian divisions tearing the country apart. the march on baghdad for now on hold instead just harvest fighters tech and 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
10:20 am
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 violence and bloodiest moments now with the current crisis threading the country to pieces it's closer than ever to becoming one kurdish soldiers are now in control of territory that used to be disputed but no one here seems to think that just harvest would dare march on them. but i have full faith in the forces we won lets 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 maybe we should maybe that iraq will have to be divided will have
10:21 am
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 have 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 build these massive gas lines sell 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 officer starting 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 the outbreak
10:22 am
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 and the fear is that it'll go 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 nice fleeing the violence we encountered shia refugees to. thought oh gandhi job or came here six days ago from baghdad a lot of 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 who see caffein of every bill iraq since the start
10:23 am
of its rampage through iraq isis has been eyeing vile well fields including the country's biggest refinery and this is brant crude over the past few weeks and its price also went up during monday's trading session earlier i discussed this with jorge monta pac and energy market analyst he believes the uncertainty of war will keep pushing prices up i think the situation there is so confusing that the likelihood of military intervention has become smaller in recent days because from what i can read and everybody can read is difficult to know who it's for right and what the impact is going to be so i think the what people are doing right now is just taking a step back police personnel are shifting it to other areas and maybe that's the right thing to do in the short term this map shows us the geographical sectarian divide was you know the rich areas are dominated by sudanese and as well as it isis
10:24 am
all our oil rich areas the question here is i mean what sort of damage can this concrete conflict have on the global energy market well it can to stop the oil production or affect the areas for a while as you can see the pipelines a lot of them originate from sunny areas so it is logical to expect that some production will be affected we have seen this situation in north africa swirl around the world still receiving the same supply from africa before the conference so it would be logical to expect that there would be some impact in production. now scotland is preparing to mark seven hundred years since it secured a long stretch of independence from england and the battle of bannockburn what this year are the countries again vying for independence but this time around its fate will be decided not to reward fair but by referendum and it was decision day getting ever closer are a boy who reports now on how the u.k. government is striving to remind scots of what's at stake. frannie scott still
10:25 am
undecided about which way to vote come september a new brochure is about to land on every single doorstep in scotland setting out the british government's argument for the united kingdom to stay united forever on else antti has done the hard work and summed it all up for you it begins with an issue that central to the debate the pound the british government insists staying in the u.k. is the only way scotland can keep the scottish power and the argument goes that a bigger britain means a bigger economy with the u.k. scouts helping to keep interest rates low savings secure and energy bills cheap next scotland uses many of the u.k.'s public bodies from the departments that issued driving licenses for example to the passport office the national lottery and the b.b.c. leaving the u.k. would mean setting up new scottish equivalents from scratch and true to its roots as the home of the gentlemen's club the u.k. is the only country in the world that can boast membership of nato the e.u.
10:26 am
the commonwealth the g seven the g eight and the g twenty if scotland decides to go solo its name will be struck off a lot of guest lists and the british government points out it was planning to devolve more power to the scottish parliament for next year anyway from twenty fifteen the scottish parliament will get more powers to set tax rates and decide if and when to borrow money even if it's not independent lilly's it also points out that the u.k. represents scottish interests abroad take for example scottish whiskey four billion pounds of the stuff was exported last year but if scotland the whisks itself away from the union it would have a small a network of embassies promoting it spirals abroad business could suffer which could leave the industry nursing an independence hangover the scottish government told r.t. that it won't be posting its own pro independence brochures in. funs anyone
10:27 am
interested in the scottish government's blueprint for independence could request a copy of the white paper where their plans are rule set out. at the moment it looks like the majority of the population is still afraid of losing global influence and would prefer to stay in the u.k. but with a yes and no campaigns in full swing support for independents is steadily growing we're currently more than a third of scots are willing to say yes to independence while the u.k. authorities are busy trying to persuade people with brochures pointing out the benefits of unity advocates of independence are putting forward counter arguments they say an independent scotland will have its own laws and be able to dictate its foreign policy and nuclear weapons will be removed from its territory also keeping north sea oil revenues within scotland and rejecting the u.k. as a sturdy policies will its claimed boost the economy well that's it for me right now
10:28 am
join me for more world news in thirty minutes to stay with her to international. some people say freedom isn't free and they're right in fact freedom may only cost the price of a bottle of water or an old t.-shirt fan celebrating the recent victory of the l.a. kings noticed that they were not alone what was believed to be a police drone was flying over them filming them i thought of moral contempt for drones or just for the hell of it the crowd began to throw random objects at it until it was brought down i think this event makes two very big points firstly a lot of the surveillance state is not that hard to stop i mean there are satellite photos being taken of us all the time and n.s.a. spying on a communications but any camera or other device than throwing distance of a brick is at the mercy of us ninety nine percent and secondly generally if a crowd of people does something few ever get punished i mean if this drone was
10:29 am
actually a police drone would they try to lock up the entire crowd for breaking it no they wouldn't and they couldn't for some reason if one person commits an act of civil disobedience they are in ford but if a crowd does it they generally get away with it so if you're going to defend your right to privacy from drones bring fifty guys with you and everything will work out just fine but that's just my opinion. oh.
