pm in moscow good to have you with us our top story a woman reportedly killed several wounded in an attack by the army in the eastern ukrainian city of lugansk despite the ukrainian president saying he's ready for another ceasefire in a phone call with the u.s. vice president joe biden the city of lugansk one of the centers of anti kiev resistance came under renewed military fire overnight shells landed near a local hospital cancer center you can see the building was badly damaged these pictures from the city of kramatorsk meanwhile were another main target of assault residential areas hit with shells exploding you're a playground the anti-government forces saying one man killed twenty wounded in the recent attacks their civilians meanwhile say they are terrified. but he is going to . look at you know my bad news because if one night it does it would take years to me if i knew what to do to receive it. is that. it got the module

a badass own but. you know no it gives you a good reason to believe that or you wouldn't believe people on. this video from a roughly agency film in the small village of congress ravaged by an army airstrike tuesday locals burying those killed during the attack eleven lost their lives including a five year old earlier not to target residential areas and ukrainian commander suggested the assault was an accident but those living in the village disagree there is. somebody going to show them what is you know we don't know what is coming with god. immediately even cheaper to use don't you know these no. more of. these not come who. need it even. student teacher could do you.

know you can skid you're going to do good used good news because you can do used. appeals like this apparently falling on deaf ears with ukraine's president saying his army is actually freeing civilians take a listen with him on the street but we will advance and we will liberate producing energy cranes armed forces the national guard and rather divisions will never use force against civilians they will never talk at residential areas because the ukrainian troops also becoming a presence on social media with the videos like this surfacing on the web held in high quality presenting army regulations well organized combat units that have been picked up by media outlets around the world he's very few notion and in many cases the fact did not know actual reality. members of the national guard demonstrate that it very special equipment that. is the. business leader here.

or the fraser. forces there. are a poet. the national guard was created four months ago to bolster the country's defenses its fighters were supposed to get the best and the nisshin but so far they say they've been fed with empty promises and instead of brand the animals we had to got most of the rats from these a love child of a player they only have a small edible part in the middle but there are a lot of people here see a column called think that if this is the army's position outside slovyansk the key battleground in was killed because it's 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 knows a lot of positives

a couple of more than of the other hours but they're going to give you my word you know more than a little bit of their lives are going to be most of all about them within your will as this because that is always there you know if you come when you go it is over there with the building built a lot of them no matter how hard it gets everyone should do what they're supposed to do when it would if that happens will win very quickly. that in the in the future looked bright for ukraine soldiers and officers as well as those volunteering to join the military. here were carried year this will be our priority by the army volunteers will get the equivalent of only five dollars per day and solid life insurance is welcome 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 let me tell me which is

that maybe. they can eat but ultimately it was more just yet we need to look at that does that mean it is then you could be fifteen years old like a mortgage that you. got with the community as a response to the. entries inability to take care of its own service personnel and number of on line fundraising companions 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 to fight this rather to dime raef national party. troops and self-defense forces engaged in fierce battles over checkpoints on the border with russia fighting taking its toll on refugees trying to flee the combat this crossing believed to be safest at the

moment but this you tube video allegedly shows what's going on on the ukrainian side. vehicles driving toward the border fired upon with large caliber weapons with their wrecked cars that came under attack a shell lying on the ground locals say many have been killed on this road which has already been dubbed a cemetery for. if another crisis looming for ukraine it's decreasing natural gas reserves kiev already resorting to tapping its long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies over unpaid bills is creating unease in the e.u. this is the block's energy chief gunther out and you're saying it has a domino effect a domino effect is inevitable even for european powerhouse germany fear is that unless you chremes starts filling up storage facilities it may start siphoning gas it destined for europe that warning has already been voiced by gazprom echoing

those concerns russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev thinks ukraine's troubles could grow into a full scale gas crisis as soon as autumn making this claim on his facebook page so why is there so much concern about a wider gas crisis in europe let's take a look at the map. e.u. countries get gas from russia via multiple pipelines the lion's share of it goes through ukraine moscow stresses the supplies will continue as before but there are fears over siphoning are realized europe won't get the gas it needs this winter that happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine brussels is blind top of the enormity of this potential crisis that's the view of geopolitical analyst william into. edu officials 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 pipelines but fortunately the e.u.

commission is trying to block the gas. pipeline which was discovered around the ukraine. as does the north so i think policy is really flying blind i don't know who struck in the show. but it certainly has nothing to do with the interests of the european union for a stable economy and stable energy prices. britain's queen names the u.k.'s biggest ever warship well the future of britain's nuclear defense is remain up for question ahead of scotland's independence referendum. we supply the weapons that are used in the conflicts that none of these people had to flee then we don't let them work and put them in countless when they get their anger within germany over the treatment of refugees after police try a big thing dozens from a disused building. but first washington's a wait and see approach to the crisis in iraq could change the u.s.

has already sent more than seven hundred fifty troops to the country and currently advising the iraqi army on how to defeat isis insurgents but it may not be enough america's top army general leaving the door open to the country's increased military involvement the chairman of the joint chiefs joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey says the u.s. could launch an assault on isis militants if national interests require or president obama gives the order currently the u.s. is gathering intelligence while the number of iraqi deaths continues to grow more than two thousand were killed in june alone but while the u.s. is deliberating over direct involvement saudi arabia is not the gulf nation nation has reportedly started amassing its troops along the border with iraq one arab media outlet says iraqi troops have withdrawn from the area though baghdad tonight as this guy takes a closer 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 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 bystander 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 riyadh me 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. that. and i think give the wahhabi to saudi arabia means studio. a lot of their teaching go to do that to you. 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 coltrane of sectarian tensions is only getting more explosive in washington i'm going to check out our one middle east affairs journalist says that saudis are seeking to gain the upper head not only in the region but beyond even in europe. two states which are involved in the isis approaching this is on the one hand we've said already saudi arabia but on the other hand as well there is turkey we have saudi arabia is a country which is very much engaged in europe and saudi arabia is doing a lot for radicalizing islam if you go for example to boston you will see

brand new mosques financed by saudi arabian foundations and this is not a liberal and not a tolerant islam they are preaching there and then we shouldn't forget that both countries as well as our allies of the west we have now the he would also in context of the isis debate off the so-called european volunteers choice ice these forces and other east limits forces in the middle east the various what might happen when these people when these terrorists might come back with all the experience from a battleground this should be alarming this network we witness here so isis is maybe just the most violent and the most terroristic part of that network or world news for martina national after a short break stay with us. numbers

are the people in queues independence square were not terrorists and the people of the bus they are the terrorists and also just because we don't agree with what kiev is trying to impose on us and stand by all rules and diction this is really. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here not in here in iraq other big story that i'm sure that one time there's a reason they don't want to. point. out now let's break the set.

down in the final. night and the rest. of the. quarter past the hour britain's queen elizabeth unveiled the u.k.'s biggest warship at a ceremony in scotland the vessel which is named after the monarch the first of two aircraft carriers being built at a cost of more than six billion pounds expected to be her majesty's last official engagement in scotland before the referendum on the country's independence in september ali boyko reports. 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 the lead 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 defense says 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 missile system that stationed 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 gawd's but if they vote yes to independence britain's new us super acra carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters ali boy artsy. seven zero and discuss possible implications for the u.k. and scotland's defense forces with two british military experts. should scotland separate the remainder of the u.k. will still have defense forces all i would say is that if you have a single unit tree force and you split it into two parts then it inevitably costs money to set up the other part with all the admin and things like that and it ends up less efficient so there will be less money effectively and we already don't spend enough on defense assuming that an independent scotland supplication to join

nato was successful then. scotland would expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa i think when we talk about defense and independence go to the all roads eventually lead to tried and now the s.n.p. government has said it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory however other huge implications in that because there appears to be no where the trident fleet plus warheads could go in the u.k. in the short to medium term and to move it would be hugely expensive and disruptive the cost of redeploying of the trident the ballistic missile submarines and the weapons is huge particular if you try and do it very quickly there are places you could send them to over the long term but would the rest of you k. be willing to spend that extra money that's involved to do it and i'm not sure they would the fifty thousand jobs that depending on the defense industry in scotland

what's going to happen to those jobs do you think if scotland says we're off i've talked to the head of some of the big firms that have small offshoots in scotland they will move south because the amount of money available for procurement within an independent scotland will be tiny and then these firms go where the money is the s.n.p. yes campaign does have to be more upfront with exactly how it sees those defense industry jobs being either reorientated or replaced by other types of industry. when it comes to nature showing what it's capable of new york had a front row seat take a look at this. up close to these mega ball thunderball thunder bolts touching down in the heart of the big apple watch it from the safety of all. you well some twenty three million light years away a massive star cluster putting on a fireworks display of truly galactic abortions and the show seems to have reached

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 say standoff between them and place a large group of demonstrators gather at either end of the street and they're angry at what they say is a double standard by the german government when it comes to refugee rights but if he finds out i wasn't pretty teakwood out who supply the weapons that are used in the conflicts that man these people had to flee and i would don't let them work and put them in countless when they get here yet is that our laws to deal with these people are very repressive and inhumane they make it so hard for people to stay here they're actually recognized as refugees from to you and convention but germany doesn't accept this status they just want to push them back it up to delhi or departing back into their countries despite the words of the german president about doing more to help refugees this district in berlin remains in up roll over what they see as hypocrisy and asylum peter all of a party the lead. in

a few minutes on ukrainian war refugee tell sophie shevardnadze about the carnage in the country stay with us. yes it's official the mainstream media must be made up of stereotypes. 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 a gypsy's 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 see as a 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. or it's probably the most complex of human activity.
