are they welcome or watching r.t. international. despite ukrainian president says saying he's ready for another ceasefire violence in the east of the country rages on during a phone call mr poroshenko told us vice president joe biden he may reestablish the truce but let's have a look at the reality on the ground at the moment these are pictures from the city of crime a top one of the main targets of kiev's military operation ukrainian forces have stepped up artillery fire there since the truce ended on monday and you can see residential areas are coming under heavy fire and some shelves have even exploded here near a playground and government forces say one man was killed and twenty injured in the recent attacks and local residents are living in fear of more shelling. but a year earlier. nor did you move the boat goes early primary goal is to get your used to be a and you will do to receive it. is that you who are got the large you

equipment with. these. business news. from gaza are the stories that we. will see is there. are people either. the national guard was created four months ago to bolster the country's defenses its fighters was a place to get the best ammunition but so far they say they've been fed with empty promises and staying brand we had to got most of the brats from the same. love you they only have a small edible part in the middle but there are a lot of people here the holocaust for that this is the army's position outside slovyansk the key battleground in what's key it calls it n.t. terribly ration course and while the president declares it's active and decisive phase five is on the ground a confused as to where they stand often and literally

a bunch of muslims have got all of that of their followers but they're going to give them a larger picture of the moral equivalent of their allies are going to be muslim what about them within europe as it is that is always there you know if you come when you will it is almost belittling noticed a lot no matter how hard it gets everyone should do what they're supposed to do and if that happens will win very quickly. in the end as fast as two weeks the minister beliefs but many don't this is realistic stuff funny there's nothing terrifying about returning to a checkpoint after it's been attacked or coorey zos is what will happen next we doubt all nice capabilities to begin with the future looks bright for ukraine's soldiers and officers as well as those volunteer in to join the military. here in paris yes this will be our priority army volunteers will get the equivalent of only

five dollars per day and solid life and. but it seems that president bush and co has not managed to keep the promises made in his election campaign they say they've paid their salaries but we didn't get any money my husband didn't get it and they keep promising it will happen to more of my two year old daughter walk after this morning and said that she is hungry what i'm supposed to tell her as a response to the country's inability to take care of its own service personnel a number of unlined fund raising complains were launched this is just one of many such projects they have raised enough to purchase a drone and some ammunition but most of the purchases are still in progress kids large scale operation is in full swing but with the lack of basic supplies and weaponry many complain they are not being sent to fight the truthers to die rich national party. and while struggling to crush the unrest in the east the leaders in

kiev also have another major issue on their hands a looming gas crisis they've already did it into long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies over unpaid bills and e.u. heads fear that could have a knock on effect for them where this is energy chief going for often given he says that he believes even germany could suffer and that's because gazprom is concerned ukraine may start siphoning off gas destined for europe meanwhile prime minister russian prime minister medvedev believes there could be a full scale gas crisis as soon as the autumn and he made the claim on his facebook page so why is there so much concern about a wider crisis in europe well i'm up over here will help explain things a little. and that's because as you can see the countries receive gas from russia via pipelines that go straight through the ukraine however it is fate ukraine may tap into the supplies after having their own cut off by moscow and that in turn

will mean europe won't get the gas it needs this winter a similar scenario happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine geo political analyst we mangle things brussels should put more pressure on kiev to avert another cold winter e.q. officials are really acting very stupidly in a school creating and you should they should be putting enormous pressure on the kiev government to come to their senses europe is dependent asked from russia that gas right now goes through ukrainian pipelines but fortunately the e.u. commission is trying to block the gas from sol street pipeline which would discourage around the ukraine problem as does the north pipeline so i think your policy is really flying blind i don't know who is right in the short. but it certainly has nothing to do with the interests of the european union for a stable economy and stable energy prices. still to come whiskey not champagne as

the u.k. launches a new craft carrier the british queen is heading to scotland to christen the biggest at the warship well the future of britain's nuclear missile systems remains in question ahead of the independence referendum. but you have the militants making significant advances in iraq saudi arabia has started moving military personnel close to its front with the war torn country the reports come after iraqi troops are reported to be withdrawing from the area something baghdad denies. them has the details saudi arabia has reportedly sent thirty thousand troops to its border with iraq across that border is a cauldron of secretary and in fighting the isis is so it's a radical sunni jihadi are well armed and well funded saudi arabia also sunni doesn't want to be officially associated with the isis but it's hardly an innocent twice that many of the isis is most violent frontline fighters are believed to be

saudi nationals there are widespread reports that wealthy donors in saudi arabia had been funding the isis throughout their fight in syria and beyond we oddly now say that it has nothing to do with the rise of this radical group that it itself is spread by but experts believe saudi arabia has helped create the floors in ways more than just providing funding and fighters they need to think even. that could use this and i think give the wahabi to saudi arabia means to realize. a lot of their teaching contributed to that to you. is this just in the span of several years bolstered by the fight against assad in syria the isis has advanced so far as to declare an islamic caliphate across the territories that are now controls both iraq and syria the question is what the saudi arabia sees the isis. as the series. it has warned against foreign military interference in iraq and now

iran is reportedly sending fighter jets to help the iraqi government fight the jihad its army while saudi arabia sits still lots of questions one thing is clear the cauldron of sectarian tensions is only getting more explosive in washington i'm going to check out our team. and some believe reality seeking to gain the upper hand in the region his gym in june is oxon right one site they finance and they support isis with their actions on the other side they supply their troops to the border ready for interfering so this is also a justification and of course an excuse for maybe later on entering iraq saudi arabia vaughn's to play since a long time the role of the region the leading power in the east and iraq as well as syria by the way a very important battlefield since the biggest competition for saudi arabia of course is iran iran is the big state at the influential state with

a lot of influence also on the shia population in iraq iraq is mixed we know that so saudi arabia try is there to expand the influence of washington meanwhile has left the door open to an expanded role for its military in iraq with one general saying it strikes remain an option but russia's president believes america's involvement is so far proved to be destructive. wouldn't look like a bull in a china shop they came they salvaged the place and then left and all this with a noble pretext and good intentions and everything falls apart chaos and collapse rule when we discuss the legacy of america's occupation with security analyst michael maloof and he thinks the u.s. has opened up a pandora's box in the region. they were aware of the disputes the sectarian disputes between the sunnis and the shia and the kurds but i don't think they ever

saw isis really take off the way the way that it did at the moment nobody is there to actually stop them in terms of military capability they are exercising some very professional type of military tactics and the question is will they be able to govern the territory that they've been able to take over they've shown a very professional slick approach toward establishing this caliphate and and they are moving on now you still using online services that allow you to conceal your identity and your location let means actually fuel a potential terrorist in the eyes of america's national security agency we've got the details of this story plus plenty more after a quick break. as

thank. you watching our anger german immigration policies has reached boiling point in burley and after dozens of refugees barricaded themselves in addition school their plight is attracting cries of protest is furious at what they claim is the unfair treatment of the asylum seekers peter all of us was there. when it comes to refugees the message from german leaders is clear. solidarity is first and foremost a basis for any relationship and a symbol of democracy the refugees who arrive in the italian maltese coast are not just up to it's really or malta to deal with however this is the reality around sixty people are currently holed up in the abandoned schoolhouse just behind me here in central and they're angry it's the way they see refugees being treated here

in germany now what we have seen is a standoff between them and police this road here in the center the german capital has been shut off and as a large police presence here a large group of demonstrators gather at either end of this street and they're angry at what they see as a double standard by the german government when it comes to refugee rights but if you put on that wasn't put supply the weapons that are used in the conflicts that man these people had to flee and then we don't let them work and put them in countless when they get here yet is that our laws that deal with these people are very repressive and inhumane that they make it so hard for people to stay here they're actually recognised as refugees from the un convention but germany doesn't accept this status they just want to push them back into to delhi or depart and back into the country many of those inside the school which includes refugees from ghana nigeria and syria police are understood to be in favor of evacuating the

building some opposition politicians are hoping a solution can be found that sees the group allowed to stay in the abandoned school bus and there should be no violent eviction of the refugees from the school despite the words of the german president about doing more to help refugees this district in berlin remains in uproar over what they see as hypocrisy on asylum peter all over r.t. belin. still ahead for you she's russia's top talent on the tennis court but right now this lady is feeling the full force of the world's cricket fans week plain why maria sharapova is in a bit of hot water in a few minutes time. a new generation of aircraft carrier is about to be officially named by the british queen on friday she travels to scotland for the ceremony the queen elizabeth is the first of two warships being billed at a cost of over ten billion dollars is expected to be her majesty's last official

engagement in scotland before yes no referendum on staying part of the u.k. in september artie's party boy has more. it's birth is taking place in scotland which is why the queen is christening the u.k.'s new super carrier with whisky instead of champagne poured into the u.k.'s defense secretary it's a demonstration of britain at its very best the royal navy has sixteen ships and submarines and two royal marines commando units based in scotland the s.n.p. has promised to maintain all military establishment in scotland in the event of independence but the problem is that at the moment there's simply no agreement over what would happen to britain's defense says if scotland were to leave the union the u.k.'s first scene lord has warned that the royal navy is already constrained by budget cuts and the split with scotland would further weaken the effectiveness of

britain's maritime defenses since the s.n.p. say that they would abolish nuclear weapons in the event of a yes vote many questions surround the future of trying to end the u.k. submarine based nuclear missile system that station and western scotland tridents unique deep water location is a key strategic importance as it provides quick access to the atlantic finding somewhere else to park the u.k.'s nuclear deterrent would be a long and complicated process that's likely to make nato extremely nervous scotland's had a historical role in the royal navy at the battle of trafalgar almost a third of nelson's men was gawd's but if they vote yes to independence britain's new us super aircraft carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters ali boyko r.t. . well both sides in the iraq campaign have promised to step up their game coming

home and discuss the possible scenarios with campaigns. i feel depressed at the thought of scotland breaking away i think it diminishes us all to be quite honest i don't think the s.n.p. had really thought through in detail the implications of some things and offense was one of the ones they haven't thought it through in great detail though i think when we talk about defense and independent scotland all roads eventually lead to tried and the fast lane based on the clyde and scottish government which is by no means a done deal then it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory u.k. government's position has been that they don't think that this will happen cost of redeploying at the trident the ballistic missile submarines and the weapons is huge i've talked to the head of some of the big firms that have small offshoots in scotland they will move south it will be a catastrophe for scottish defense industry the senate defense interests itself

will be feeling very very carefully looking at their options at what they should be doing britain's defense for survive without scotland's assets and interests yes of course it will survive the should scotland separate the remains of the u.k. will still have defense forces see area air space is crucially important to us all but of course we would we would actually fight to look after them that an independent scotland supplication to join nato was successful then then scotland would come under the article five of the north atlantic treaty and would expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa. some international news in brief now the israeli military has bolstered forces along the volatile border with the gaza strip and we came in response to intensifying rocket fire and mounting tension in the region officials say the deployment includes tanks artillery and ground forces meanwhile in tel aviv the demonstration took place

she is world renowned tennis royalty but russia's maria sharapova has crashed out of wimbledon just one round before the quarterfinals she still trending on twitter although the hashtags nothing to do with her familiar beforehand but rather her ways maria sharapova fraser asked artie's head of social media what's behind it all . that's right who is maria sharapova well. unfortunately fell out of wimbledon a little bit earlier than we'd have liked but she was fielding questions from the press afterwards and was asked about the fact that david back in may have been watching her game in center court but she responded very positively about david attending the game was then asked by a journalist what she thought about the fact that indian cricket god sachin tendulkar had also been watching the game masha shook her head was honest and said

actually i don't know who such intend is that's where things took off and so who tell us who he is and why this is such a big reaction in his home country and how the internet as a whole is really reacting ok well let's start with tendulkar himself he is the greatest cricket player of his generation and he has literally venerated as a god in india now as you can see that's where twitter took off so these are this is a hash tag map of who has show up and you can see basically in the cricket playing countries of the world not and i know as an american and you see there's even one in the states so i think we're ever something goes on on twitter that there will always be something in the states but it might be simply the might be some cricket fans that anyhow india and the u.k. took to it thought it was hilarious and what happened was basically means sprung up such as these with luis suarez getting in getting involved in others that gave a bit of a slagging about it would not knowing who this fantastic cricket player is of course you know the quick playing world expects everybody to know who session

terkel is not everybody does and the fact remains of course that masha is the perhaps that you are one of the great sportsmen of a generation and certainly the highest earning sportswoman of a generation but she was never the less able to take a bit of a trolling on twitter whether i guess in the eyes of her fans it might be regarded as cricket or not fair play or not. find me russian and looking for that ultimate statement of national pride well this could. phone with a portrait of president putin on the back there it boasts an eighteen karat gold exterior and costs over four thousand dollars but you will have to hurry a limited edition of the phone has flown off the shelves on its first day of sale. now up next aaron i takes on the u.s. dollar is the international currency that stand they buy.

yes it's official the bay street 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 when she was working part time she realized she was getting chipped because she was actually king full time but only getting paid the part time salary technically the term gypped is somewhat racist and implies that 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 is 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. it's about seven years old it's one of the largest ten cities on the east coast of america got about one hundred people here just because of economic the cost of housing in this area especially is very high and i believe as an american we have a right. to possess public land until something is created that's my house you see back there live it send them to well at least then spend the. rest. if we hadn't done that we wouldn't have been i want to be we don't just you know.
