know you can skid you're going to do did used good news because you can do these renewed attacks on residential areas come as a shock for people in eastern ukraine given that president poroshenko earlier pledge not to put civilians under threat will do on the street but we will leave behind and liberate them producing it is ukraine's armed forces the national guard in iraq and the visions will never be enough once again civilians will never talk at residential areas the ukrainian troops also making their presence on social media with the videos like this surfacing on the web shot in high quality army regiments are presenting a well organized unit picked up by media outlets around the world are tiebreaking notion of though a different reality behind the scenes. members of the national guard will demonstrate their very special equipment that. is the. business leader

here. or the freezer. or says there. are a poet. the national guard was created four months ago to bolster the country's defenses all its fighters were supposed to get the just an audition but so far they say they've been flooded with empty promises and instead of going to mosul so we had to got most of the grass from these a love child of a player don't know a lot about hardly the middle but there are a lot of people here see a couple of coffins for them this is the army's position outside slovyansk the key battleground in was killed calls it anti terror peroration bush 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 that's got

a promotion move out of the top all more than of the of ours but they're going to give them a larger picture of the moral equivalent of their allies are going to be left alone without them within europe as this goes on the whole war there you know if you come when you will it is almost belittling noticed a lot of them no matter how hard it gets everyone should do what they're supposed to do if that happens will win very quickly we don't do. that in the way if you truly looked bright for ukraine soldiers and officers as well as those volunteering to join the military. here were carried you this will be our priority the army volunteers will get the equivalent of eighty five dollars per day and solid life insurance as well. but it seems that president bush and co has not managed to keep the promises made in his election campaign they say they've pay the 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 woke up this morning and said that she's

hungry what i'm supposed to tell her enemies of me which is that maybe. but i have been looking at the small east and yes we need to look at that does that mean if you could teach it in your welcome workers that you're welcome to the community as a response to the. entries inability to take care of his own service personnel and number of on line fundraising 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 potential sees a still in progress kid's large scale operation is in full sweep but with the lack of basic supplies and weaponry many complain they end up being sent by the two other to don't refill the tea. this road is the main route to a checkpoint at the a border with russia a road of life for refugees fleeing the army shelling video circulating on youtube

though reportedly shows what's going on there now. cars driving by shot out with high caliber weapons you can see what's left of the vehicles that come under attack by a shell lying on the ground locals say many drivers have been killed on that road already it's been dubbed a cemetery. while struggling to crush the unrest in the east leaders in kiev also another major issue on their hands a looming gas crisis they've already dipped into long term storage tanks after russia cut supplies over unpaid bills as e.u. leaders fear that could have a knock on effect for them this is the energy cheve gunther otten sure he says germany could suffer that's because gazprom is concerned ukraine may start siphoning off gas bound for europe while russian prime minister dmitry medvedev thinks there could be a full scale gas crisis as soon as autumn he made the claim on his facebook page. let's take a look at why there is much wider concern about the crisis in europe. this map over

here will help explain things even countries get gas from russia via pipelines that go through ukraine but is fear that ukraine may tap these supplies after having their own cut off by moscow that may in turn mean europe won't get the gas it needs for this winter a similar thing happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine as william indels saying that brussels should put more pressure on kiev to avert another cold winter. officially are really acting very stupidly in the school creating into the issue they should be putting enormous pressure on the government to come to their senses europe is dependent asked from russia that gas right now goes through ukrainian plans it would or should have it the e.u. commission is trying to block the gas from sol street life which was discovered around the ukraine. as does the north so i think policy is really flying blind i don't know who is running the show. but it certainly has

nothing to do with the interests of the european union for a stable economy and stable energy prices coming up on r.t. international whiskey not champagne is the u.k. launching a new aircraft carrier the british queen heading to scotland to christen the u.k. the biggest ever warship while the future of britain's nuclear missile system remains in question ahead of the independence referendum. but before we get to that with jihadi militants making significant gains in iraq saudi arabia started moving military personnel closer to its friend here with the war torn country reports come after iraqi troops were reported to be withdrawing from the area something baghdad denies guy takes a look. saudi arabia has reportedly sent thirty thousand troops to its border with iraq across that border is a cauldron of sectarian infighting the isis is sunni it's a radical sunni audience 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 bystander many of the isis is most violent frontline fighters are believed to be saudi nationals there 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 it but experts believe saudi arabia has helped create the floors in ways more than just providing funding and fighters they need to think. that. and i think give the wahhabi to saudi arabia means studio. a lot of their teaching go to do 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 it now controls both iraq and syria the question is what the saudi arabia sees the isis as

a serious threat it has warned against foreign military into ference in iraq and now iran is reportedly sending fighter jets to help the iraqi government fight the jihad as army. will saudi arabia sit still lots of questions one thing is clear the culture in a sectarian tensions is only getting more explosive in washington i'm going to check out our team. something korea is trying to gain the upper hand in the region german journalist and a writer as one of them. one site they finance and they support isis with their actions on the other sites 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 of wants to play since a long time the role of the return of the leading power in middle east and iraq as well as syria by the way are very important battlefields and 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 in iraq it's mixed we know that so saudi arabia tries there to expand their influence. still to come the ongoing german parliamentary inquiry into n.s.a. surveillance of suspected to have been a moderate itself with a german intelligence agent now in police custody for possible spying for the u.s. stay with us for those details. if you need to review the economic ups and downs in the find out on monday the new

fourteen minutes past the hour a member of germany's foreign intelligence agency has been arrested on suspicion of spying for the u.s. during questioning the suspect reportedly told investigators he'd been gathering information about the ongoing parliamentary inquiry on n.s.a. activities in germany one of the whistleblowers was me testifying before he investigated investigative committee thinks current laws are not enough to curb mass surveillance it doesn't it doesn't do what needs to be done i mean they need to have. they did have a process that does limits what n.s.a. looks at and can take in and store in its databases so that other like law enforcement or other agencies in the government can take advantage of it and use it illegally but fundamentally boils down to the respect for the rights of others and the rights to privacy and their rights to be left alone that's the foundational of our constitution and you can take a look at that the storage facilities they're building you get an idea of how much they're taking in like a million square foot storage facility in bluffdale utah another six hundred

thousand square foot facility they're starting to build they started last summer in in fort meade on fort meade and then a four hundred thousand square foot facility they have down in san antonio and other stories that they've had existing all along at fort meade as well as other facilities around the world. one way around the snooping could be a tablet computer on our t.v. we show you how ru pad deals with online villains by physically disconnecting its camera and microphone at least. and merciless arthur is coming as the hurricane spirals up the atlantic coast new york residence given a spectacular light show before the thunderstorm touches down and we're just talking about firework. anger a german immigration policies has reached a boiling point in berlin after dozens of refugees barricaded themselves in a disused school their plight attracted crowds of protesters furious at what they claim is unfair treatment of asylum seekers. 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 our 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 of the german capital has been shot so often is 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 find on that. supply the weapons that are used in the conflicts that man these people had to flee then we don't let them work and put them on campus when they get

here. 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 you and convention but germany doesn't accept to start with 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. . take a look at some other stories making global headlines israel's military forces along

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 in western scotland tridents unique deep water location is of 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 gods but if they vote yes to independence britain's new

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 and distance 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 if should scotland separate the remains of the u.k. will still have defense forces sierra 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 the north atlantic treaty and we would expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa. latest edition of breaking the set coming your way in a couple of minutes stay with us on r.t.

international. 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 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 it 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 that 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. talking about language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports . that puts the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on you're not employing them to secure yet a car is on the docket no. thank you no more weasel words. when you think you know a direct question be prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for

hair. tomorrow marks the one year anniversary since the first bombshell story broke i'm sorry tomorrow marks the one year since the first bombshell story broke based on top secret leaked documents provided by national security agency contractor edward snowden over the past year we've learned that the n.s.a. is using a multitude of programs with names like prism and boundless informant to engage in massive dragnet surveillance of every american citizen and these revelations have

completely redefined the notion of intelligence gathering and shed light on technologies that were in comprehensible. here years ago but two former n.s.a. insiders saw the rise of the surveillance state long before the world knew edward snowden's name bill benny was an n.s.a. technical director from one thousand nine hundred sixty five to two thousand and one we view a senior analyst in the n.s.a. from nine hundred seventy five to two thousand and one and the months following the nine eleven attacks these two men witnessed a complete transformation of the government agency they had worked for decades and were forced to retire to the grave concerns of the illegal and unconstitutional direction of the agency so to discuss their experiences at the n.s.a. as well as what the snowden revelations mean for all of us i'm joined now by building and kirk we thank you so much both of you for coming on though i want to start with you you were one of the creators of the premium eleven data collection survey on the program called the right which actually did have privacy protections instead of american citizens why was this program abandoned and what kind of system

replaced it what will it actually was in the back part of the analysis part the part that allowed them to deal with massive amounts of data and index it was taken in to manage that was the way they actually were able to to build surveillance on the entire world that that particular program was that powerful and that's why we put in those protections so that it would be impossible for them to abuse it and that was the first thing they removed when they took it into the new program still wind. and kirk after you guys found out about what they had done how did you bill and other intelligence insiders address these concerns within the government and how were those concerns matt from officials in reality we had been trying to address what was going on and it's a terms of modernization for years. and it's kind of like nine eleven the events of nine eleven was the culmination. it in our minds of our

failure to get. those at the agency to see the potential of what we were developing what bill had vented in the sin thread project. and it was within six weeks of nine eleven that we ended up at loomis myself bill bailey retiring from n.s.a. in absolute disgust because we had failed we had been trying to tell them they were going to fail and we lost the battle. and bill in two thousand and seven the f.b.i. raided both of your homes along with other officials who had spoken out on the false promise that you guys had leaked classified documents or information to the press what was that experience like for you and were you surprised at the aggressiveness of the response. yes the cia i have been cooperating with the f.b.i. in their investigation into the new york times. for months several months four months.
