1:06 pm
surprised why was a little of the first target goebbels ins when the check on the nearest checkpoint these time clock is way it seems that no one has an answer for this question. in eastern ukraine. disillusionment with the actions of ukraine's military is ridge the country's parliament this is our lawmaker interrupted president petro poroshenko as he was praising the armed forces. i mean you know you it should be a network of goods or was was was was immediately i mean a desirable idea being that predicted national arabic. moscow's demanding that kiev stop targeting civilians that statement comes hot on the heels of the peace roadmap hashed out in berlin by russia german french and ukrainian foreign
1:07 pm
ministers it also calls for a cease fire meanwhile kiev has been stepping up its assault on hand to government forces across the rest of eastern t.v. crew from russia's first channel got caught up in artillery fire in the city of slovyansk these latest pictures are from the village of nicholas in time just outside slivers which is enjoyed heavy artillery fighting you see residential buildings badly damaged locals also say a school was shelled there similar images too from nearby kramatorsk which came under heavy artillery fire overnight local media reports several deaths and injuries adding that ukrainian forces used multiple rocket launches to hit the city the attack comes after president poroshenko pledge on monday not to target residential areas but despite the mounting video evidence of devastation the u.s. says kiev is taking measured steps to maintain order our view is that the iranian security forces operations have then moderate and measured they've been
1:08 pm
taking steps to maintain calm within their own country but you assess the ukrainian government's actions to this point since the end of the cease fire is moderate measure. let's get some more thoughts on the moderate measured let's go live to washington d.c. martin cvs there is a national columnist for the post examiner online newspapers martin you see the pictures coming out yet again today residential areas destroyed so much death shock horror there. is it a measured response that we're really seeing from the ukrainian side here or what that's what americans think well it's certainly a measured response and that if they've measured a response to kills innocent civilians and to try new dot com successfully to terrorize the population of eastern ukraine that measure has certainly been
1:09 pm
successful but in terms of what the state department spokeswoman said it well i don't think she has ever been on the receiving end of a multiple rocket launcher bombardment if she was somehow i doubt she would call it measured the american hypocrisy on this is enormous and it's also very striking that it's coming right before the fourth of july what president power sharing cohen his army are doing what king george the third and the british empire did to the american colonists they had a measured response in occupying boston in seventeen seventeen seventy's they certainly were more moderate than president poroshenko is the british did not bombard the city at the beginning of the war they simply occupied it this is a much more extreme response than king george the third mate at the beginning of the american revolution american celebrating the fourth of july i should think
1:10 pm
about that especially the state department spokeswoman all talking of history and maybe history coming full circle let's bring in a bit more up to date in one of your recent articles you talked about this recent crisis. in ukraine being as bad as the cold war and even worse than put some more flesh on the what are your thoughts. of course during the cold war the idea that the united states would support forces using heavy artillery and aircraft in the heart of ukraine in eastern ukraine an area which had been part of russia for virtually all of three hundred seventy years until one thousand nine hundred one and which has been an independent peaceful democratic country until the violent coupe of february this year this is enormously dangerous president putin in moscow is already under pressure from people like communist leaders mr zyuganov to take a much more active interventionist role to protect the russian speakers in eastern
1:11 pm
ukraine we are running enormous risks on this this is a terribly reckless irresponsible american policy it's also an immoral policy and it's an unprecedented policy for the first times since the end of world war two the united states is supporting a governments in europe using lethal force to repress its own people. martin a final thirty seconds what been given everything you've just said is the prognosis for the latest peace plan that was brought about yesterday was it going to go very briefly if you can. it's going to nose do dive into the ground because mr poroshenko has just appointed a new defense minister a new chief of staff he shows every sign of escalating rather than deescalating martin say thank you for your thoughts appreciate it. thank you kim we want you to head to r.t. dot com for more details on the rest of our in-depth coverage of the ongoing crisis
1:12 pm
it's chronicled from day one. next rebel factions in eastern syria are pledging allegiance to the islamist extremist group known as isis the group undertook a lightning offensive last month also capturing huge swathes of neighboring iraq and now with the border in their hands insurgency their aim is to restore an islamic caliphate the fear is they could great gain even more ground let's look at the map this helps us better understand what we're talking about of the scale of it thus far the new declared caliphate it is in black in this area a vast territory as you can see straddling the border between syria and iraq isis captured this land using fighters who easily cross the borders of both countries to fight iraq says it can defeat isis and reclaim its territory again but next as the north reports that could prove very tough. islamic fighters proudly show off the spoils of war military hardware much of it american made seized from the
1:13 pm
battlefield in neighboring iraq harvests formally known as isis this week to clear the completion of their islamic state this that opposition but now. one country that is no more or less. the iraqi army meanwhile is fighting back in televised news briefings the government takes a victorious tone not what may just come from the information that the isis leaders have started to flee but on the ground we've found little evidence to back up those claims this used to be a territory controlled by the central government but the iraqi army fled this area the same day that the city of mosul was captured by isis millions of dollars of u.s. made equipment abandoned uniforms shared in haste now this looks like
1:14 pm
a hat a breakout from the special forces iraqi special forces this is obviously a vest that they discarded left behind they dressed in civilian clothes ran away essentially abandoned their posts and that's how in part isis has been able to see it so much territory so quickly the fighting has displaced hundreds of thousands of iraqis that many are scarred by the two thousand and three invasion and describe a sense of deja vu with the current crisis again from two thousand and three it's coming back so it's a disaster actually things are getting worse one to two hundred stand first hand how this war was playing out we're on our way right now to one of the front lines the village of magdala up until about five days ago when isis the surgeons could leave the country but entire territory village that's on a strategic road from mosul the next several of the. instances of the really want to access to it cost alters people to clear bits of it but they're still clashes
1:15 pm
ongoing and that's what we're having right now. at the base commanders take us to an outpost overlooking an area controlled by militants this is the very first offensive position against the isis militants just two kilometers that way every single day there's been sniper fire attempts by the hardest to enter this territory if they can push through the defensive position they would potentially take your cook and move into the territories and that could be a massive battle just waiting to happen moments later we had to leave and we just got word that the isis just might be willing forwards all the soldiers have been told to evacuate this area we're going to get out before things get intense we know that there was clashes last night and we definitely don't want to be here is that once again it was apparent just how fluid a conflict this was the front lines change daily and no matter what military gains each day he may bring if the iraqi civilians who lose as the war rages on.
1:16 pm
who can probably use iraq. coming up in a program no place to hide find the n.s.a. trucks the internet users who go to great lengths to try and stay anonymous. it makes the israeli army is beefing up its forces along with gaza from two to defend against palestinian cross border rockets the i.d.f. says over a dozen projectiles were fired from the region on thursday but kohls no casualties we tell of three israeli airstrikes on gaza though did injure ten palestinians here's what happens when israel hits but these pictures of marty's right new video agency of a crater in gaza city where police say israel landed some rockets military bombardment is the latest phase than the escalating situation after a palestinian teenager was found dead in jerusalem it was a suspected revenge killing for the murders of those three jewish teenagers which israel blames on the comeuppance.
1:17 pm
meanwhile israeli police clashed with angry crowds demanding justice for the murdered palestinian boy whose funerals been delayed reportedly because of fears little trigger more violence on the streets earlier we discussed the crisis with two political experts one from gaza the other. of killing three teenagers in in bank city of here on this does not justify it all the kidnapping more than five hundred palestinians most of them leaders in a mass in the west bank airstrikes mightly pieces on the does a stream is continuous a day's training army have launched a wide scale feigns of on homes or policy in a civilian sometimes even in pretty can the windows appearing in the furniture and and the three young people and families this is overwhelming situation israelis unfortunately the main bully in the neighborhood everybody who is a human being of course daughterly we know but that terrible there were those
1:18 pm
youngsters but there is no way to stop those killings on both sides by making them the only way to blake this. is based sitting together and talking justly and fairly about a better future for everybody one part is the adult part and then the second part kids the first one invites there's no way out of feet you're watching are to international. do you believe that people in your brain should have been. given an opportunity to vote to have a background on whether or not they want to sign this agreement michel a number one i mean looking to the polls public opinion poll i don't think really that is divisive as you say number two. i'm much against your friend
1:19 pm
and particularly were sure if arindam if you sort of passed part of your super in the two situations. let's say in brussels but nothing it is up to the people to decide. do we speak your language. use programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles the stories. you hear. the spanish find out more visit. hello again good to have you with us. it's never been easy to stay private online
1:20 pm
but one of the few ways is through using so-called an imitator network such as toll that would snowden used to decide his revelations to newspapers last summer but now it's suggested that the n.s.a. is tracking old german uses of tool branding them as extremists and they were told to ati's peter all of those in berlin about these latest revelations that. well it is quite alarming the people that are using this software this network doing so to avoid being tracked what they're doing online and now what has emerged is that the n.s.a. has the ability to track just who logs on to the servers now this comes after it emerged in a line of code from the the infamous x. keyscore system that's what the n.s.a. used in order to monitor what people are doing online now that what this code revealed is that they have essentially
1:21 pm
a tap into to service here in germany anybody that goes on there well they get put into a database and are labeled as extremists now it's estimated that tens of thousands of people will of hunt them selves on that date. network that was initially created to help. people in in countries where the internet is is repressed it was initially funded by the united states government they still provide some of the cash towards it even though they can't see what web pages you're looking at the top system itself seems to be remaining intact those that log on to it though can now be tracked and they can find out who you are speak story this whole thing in germany right now isn't it as you were an all out to angela merkel of even who from asian being top of the moment to former n.s.a. employees who've been testifying before a german parliamentary committee what do you know about how that's going on what was said of the two former senior n.s.a.
1:22 pm
officers william binney and thomas drake mr binney has just finished his testimony a very long testimony there indeed what he revealed is that yes the n.s.a. gave the technology to the germans that would allow concentrated surveillance c doesn't know whether the germans implemented that though he said that it would be impossible for anybody to detect if they were being snooped on online by the n.s.a. he also said that the united states and the n.s.a. needed to create a a moral standard modeled standard in what information they are snooping into and he said that current legislation just doesn't do that so he's give his testimony we're waiting to see what more comes out of this ongoing committee hearing to try and find out just the sheer scale and scope of the n.s.a. spying here in germany but it was a good snowden revealed how internet giant such as facebook google shared
1:23 pm
information on the users with the n.s.a. but some companies did refuse to cooperate with government requests and kept their customer's data private we told the owner of one such company about attempts to reform the agency. we've seen for the revelations that they're literally spying on every country that they can with the exception of for. in my opinion the n.s.a. as a grew up the agency if i as an individual had undertaken the same actions i would be thrown into prison for thirty years any attempt to reform in my opinion is like bailing out the ship that's already sunk there have been two attempts by the u.s. congress to try and defund the n.s.a. both which of failed my opinion is the u.s. congress is more interested in being paranoid and aggressive than taking care of americans needs and so i don't have a lot of optimism that much is going to change at all. the n.s.a. is destroyed and shut down completely bass surveillance is not covered by the
1:24 pm
fourth amendment of the constitution you have to have a specific warrant against a specific cause. and it does it's just not supported so it's encouraging to see the supreme court holding up the fourth amendment but we need to see a lot more cases come forward before the n.s.a. start to see any real impact on that. it was pretty relevant and very conversational at the big stories of the day talking of which the off the breakdown a bully could say it's not discussing ukraine this crisis with the european commission of knowledge when will depart coming up very shortly. yes it's official the mainstream media must be made up of stereotypical gossipy teenage girls i mean how else can you explain the fact that michelle obama using the term chipped has become a scandal i don't white house summit on working families mrs obama explained that
1:25 pm
when she was working part time she realized she was getting chipped because she was actually in full time but only getting paid the part time salary technically the term gypped is somewhat racist and implies the gypsies are all con men but in the modern world i think most people don't even know where the term comes from i doubt michelle obama likes a medieval peasant shield her children from wandering gypsies who could give them the evil eye i seriously question if there's any deep racial intent in the statement i personally would let the first lady off the hook but the question is would she do the same for me or any other person in the media probably not but thankfully for mrs obama she can't be fired from being the first lady only divorced or her husband's term ends now for me and every other person saying their opinion on camera we've got to be a lot more careful but that's just my opinion. this
1:26 pm
is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something as simple as people playing soccer game you can see individual players and you can see that. you can only see his facial expression you can see he is open. maybe cursus or maybe he asked. for forgiveness for. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or in. hello and welcome to world apart as the old adage goes good chances make good
1:27 pm
neighbors an idea that was supposedly proven wrong by the creation of the european union but it was an opportunity lost for your brain to be found to be you and russia well to discuss that i'm now joined by the european commission our final argument and neighborhood policy staff and mr pillar thank you very much for taking time to talk to us and it's my pleasure now in many of your previous interviews you talked about good neighborly relations as a prerequisite for countries either joining the e.u. or integrating more closely with the union how do you define good neighborly relations what are they based on i think first of all it's about respecting each other number one number two it's about creating the conditions for each of the neighbors to have its super and right to decide to about the future and number three it's about the number of the contacts. and trade i can i make some
1:28 pm
politics and also people to people contacts well i think one point that was missing in your reply was security and there is of course an express link between the security and good neighborly relations and i think that's the main reason why the e.u. has long demanded that all the countries that want to be associated with the union the baby first so without dietary tauriel disputes why has the e.u. wave you know good neighborly relations restriction in the case of georgia and moldova. which both have frozen conflicts on their territory and even more pressingly why that restriction was ignored in the case of ukraine which has the conflict raging as we speak but first of all we can do it. there are issues by the way we always respect the turtle integrity of all the three partners. another point is that we participate and supports also the mechanism
1:29 pm
which is there and ongoing efforts to address and solve those issues so for the. continent daydream and we have signed last friday. i think we have or it does sold it to bay's. commitment but mr through if i'm not mistaken i mean if we look at the history of negotiation that be in you have been other countries you always demanded that those questions have to be sorted out first before those countries can actually even signed the agreement that was the case the third area it was a case because so each is still waiting to sign that agreement so why have you pressed those countries to you know sort out those issues first but gave it seems to ukraine into georgia somewhat different treatment what you're talking about to some launch money.
