this is art international very good evening to you my name's kevin know in our top story the news that broke about an hour ago to start with that a russian border checkpoints been hit by ukrainian army mortar rounds probably several shells hit the same checkpoint where russian border guard was injured in a similar incident just two weeks ago local authorities say that this latest attack hasn't caused any casualties but has damaged several key infrastructure facilities one of those shells landed in front of a bus station but thankfully no vehicles there at the time. that was that. we'd just look at it do you see what's happening this is russian territory these are shells hitting russian territory and they're coming in from ukraine. all this

you see here was a t.v. crew filming in russia's restore for region near the border with ukraine where those shells came down the journalists is said they saw and heard at least nine explosions as they tried to flee to safety across live to our correspondent in ukraine she is very close that era for not within the next ten minutes she's witnessed similar shelling she's going to share her experiences with us so i hope you can stay with r.t. for that. other developments now to report ukraine's president's proposed time and a place for the next round of negotiations with representatives of the self-proclaimed republics in a phone call with the e.u.'s foreign policy chief catherine ashton meanwhile a woman is reportedly been killed and several people injured in an army attack on the eastern ukrainian city of la ganske which is one of the centers of and to have resistance it came under renewed artillery fire overnight shells landed on a local cancer hospital as you can see here the building was badly damaged and this is the city of climber toss coming up next again another main target of kiev's

assault residential areas have been hit there was shells exploding near a playground and to government forces say one man was killed there twenty injured in the recent attacks the civilians meantime say they are terrified. but we have very. few so there might be. very poor lady. gaga module aboard. but. no no no it is. very unique. and it's also been a traumatic time for the village of congress shall we reported earlier this week from the area where innocent people were killed by army shelling today it was the funerals of those victims including a boy who'd only just turned five and his father to. please the body.

beautifully. and it. was like it was. the moment the bump on. each shoulder is a couple. but his reports of casualties continue president poroshenko has been pledging he won't harm civilians he's been doing that since the truce ended on monday. that's why we will advance and we will liberate our land producing it is ukraine's armed forces the national guard and rather divisions will never use force against civilians they will never target residential areas. the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity believe because rhetoric puts

a question mark over the upcoming peace negotiations now with the. talks will merely be about the conditions of their surrender so those are really those that really talks in the true sense of the word what sort of a very optimistic about it everything that i've seen has shown that the jets and the military from here who are decimating villages and i think it shouldn't be a surprise because the new president has already said quote we will attack and liberate our way and other members of his administration have referred to the people in the east so humans and insects and other things so this is an illustration that has used the sexualized i think we're seeing it yet again. and to say we're going to live to our correspondent there and get along with her in about ten minutes time or so but meantime reporting another crisis looming for ukraine tonight it's decreasing natural gas reserves here was already resorted to tapping its long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies of unpaid bills and this

is creating unease in the e.u. this is the blocks energy chief good thought in g. he says no worries we're about a domino effect he thinks it's inevitable even for the european powerhouse germany the fear is that unless ukraine starts filling up its storage facilities soon it may start siphoning gas that's actually destined for europe that warning has already been voiced by gazprom to echoing those concerns russia's prime minister believes ukraine's troubles could balloon into a full scale gas crisis as soon as this autumn to me to revert have made that 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 news of all here at circle of the map in fact if we go here countries receive gas from russia via multiple pipelines of the lion's share of it goes through ukraine now moscow stress that these supplies will continue as before but if the fears of a siphoning realized we've seen it before europe won't get the gas it needs this winter that happened to say two thousand and six and two thousand and nine brussels

it seems is blind to the enormity of this potential crisis that's the view of the geopolitical analyst william f. anger let's listen to what he had to say about it. fishel are really acting very stupidly it was all 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 style street light which was discovered around the ukraine. as does the north you quite well so i think your policy is really flying blind i don't know in the short. but it certainly has nothing to do with the interests of the european union first stable economy and stable energy prices you know without international tonight up ahead britain's queen names the u.k.'s biggest ever warship while the future of britain's nuclear defense is made

up for question head of scotland's independence referendum. but next hundreds of palestinians have clashed with israeli police in east jerusalem following the funeral procession for a young palestinian teenager crowds of protesters threw rocks at offices to which a throaty responded with tear gas and stun grenades israeli security forces were prepared for unrest beforehand beefing up security in and around the area tensions are receding in the region israel is also mobilized its troops around cars are off the airstrikes from both sides. to the boys funeral thousands of chanting and flag waving crowds gathered his coffin covered in a palestinian flag was carried by mourners through the streets of these two roofs limp. body was found on wednesday suspected it was a revenge killing for the murders of three jewish teenagers which is well blames on hamas as to whether snow with raji surround he's director of the palestinian center for human rights mrs sarratt

a good evening to you thousands of palestinians are saying they gathered for this funeral what does it tell us about the significance of this boy's death. with this is one more again and again israeli war crime perpetrated against but in c.b.d. and of course i mean this israeli belligerent secure place in which we are celebrating its forty seventh anniversary. still committing the word to crimes with full legal political cover by the corporations but how will our feet up . to there it anymore they at least try to protest and to show they want to have been in for this busy trying to kill patients they want to have an end for the crimes perpetrated in a very systematic way against them. so that's the broad picture let's narrow down to this palestinians boy's death it's been described by some as

a revenge killing what do you expect to happen in terms of finding and publishing his murderous here. we're present hundreds and thousands of policy and who has been. victims of this israeli worry crimes and at least in the last two words against gaza in two thousand and eight nine and two thousand and twelve we're presenting it almost. one thousand three hundred people. already i'm told accountable any of those who perpetrated this were crimes i'm told with the money to have been executed not to behold the counter but only for. arrested and tried and they were given very light sentence. saying that you know one four four jerde. evidence and one for using. a credit card to speeding it and one for

using c.b.d. and as human shields and they were sentenced for a few months this is totally. unique situation or a human rights organization the globe including israeli human rights organization and they are saying no accountability and israel did not count ability for war crimes is being perpetrated and we will have evidence for the. with getting it won't thanks to the americans and to the european union to provide full legal political cover for their israeli warm water crimes ok human rights activist raji strongly from speaking out international appreciate it thank you think with more world news continues right after this break.

this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something if simple as people playing a soccer game we can see individual players and if you see the ball. you can almost see is facial expression can we see is a mouth open and crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe he asked. for forgiveness for. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or in. this immediate leave us so we leave that maybe. five the scene pushes security for your party there's a poll. which shows that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers

from it's all on politics only on r t. a logan has joined by tom a new story the russian border checkpoint spin hit by ukrainian army mortar rounds several shells hit the same checkpoint indeed were a russian border guard was injured in a similar incident two weeks ago local authorities say that is this latest attack hasn't caused any casualties but has damaged several key infrastructure facilities one of the shells a party landed in front of a bus station no vehicles there at the time of the bit of good news to come out for me as coach it was a real financial and she's in very nearby lugansk are the you didn't bear witness to this firsthand that these are still coming through here i'm sure you can tell us more about a little bit later but you have witnessed similar shellings and when you're on the other end of that it's a big deal isn't it. yes it is i have to

say that's what's key of cradles it's anti terror peroration is indeed now an active phase and we can confirm it here while being in the city of lugansk in eastern ukraine we hear heavy a to rebel argument a there is no specific time it could happen early in the morning late in the night and many times during the day and just seconds before we go in there we heard it again it's not far from where we are now just ten twenty kilometers away from the scene tenants. to different directions fighting is also happening on the russian ukrainian border with several checkpoints have been taken for several days by and to give meant for. trying to regain control of these clashes were happening at the moment when civilians were trying to push the feel of the law as those who were trying to flee the war zone at the ation is also very active as you know we hear fighter jets flying over this region every day again and told so they target.

a self-defense forces or who they call terrorists position but we also know that sometimes residential there is an entire villages get hit just on wednesday we visited the village of static in the short twenty five kilometers north of who've gone sq where several civilians were killed it's actually very hard to say she even now how many people were killed but definitely there were. people and five year old among them after. were hit in the. shanty and we. we've witnessed of the fighting at the time when we were there shortly after the badman happened and today we came back to this village because they were funerals of these five year old boy and his father and three other residents and further questions out of five coffins today were closed because there were no bodies but actually pieces of. bodies. and on the way back from these

through this from the funerals again the shelling started and one we think that this time tanks were used and one of the shells landed no more than thirty meters away for us when we were driving by so it becomes very dangerous to move here close the region and while we have a choice to go or not to go local residents those who decided to stay and leave the everyday life or those who decided to flee they don't have these choice and they have to move and they say that they fear more or more for their lives but it seems that not only local residents and ordinary civilians but those who are dissipated in the far into roles are suffering he's my reports about you if this is and soldiers of the ukrainian army. members of the national gone to demonstrate the special equipment which. is this new.

consumer the reason we. will see is there. are people rather. the national guard was created four months ago to bolster the country's defenses its fighters were supposed to get the best ammunition but so far they say they've been fed with empty promises and staying in bread for most of we had to got most of the bread from the same love you don't have a small edible part in the middle but there are a lot of people here the holocaust and for that 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 fighters on the ground a confused as to where they stand often and literally that's got a promotion move a lot of positives a couple of more than of the of ours but they're going to give them a larger picture of the moral equivalent of their well i think one of the most of

all about them within your assistance that is always there you know if you come when you will it is overdue it was the building built a lot and 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 we're going to. get in there with the future looked bright for ukraine's soldiers and officers as well as those volunteer in 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 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 made 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. that maybe. they

can eat but they don't let you know it was last used and yet she needs to look at that does that mean it is then you could use 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 unlined fund raising complaints 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 gives large scale operation is in full swing 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. for the big stories of the day now washington's wait and see approach to the crisis in iraq could change the u.s. already has over seven hundred fifty troops in the country is currently advising the iraqi army on how to defeat isis insurgents but that may not be enough america's top army general now is leaving the door open to his country's increased

military involvement chairman of the joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey says the u.s. could launch from the solver isis militants if national interests require it or if 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 meantime to saudi arabia has reportedly begun amassing its troops along the border with iraq one arab media outlet said iraqi forces have withdrawn from the area though baghdad denies this party is going to future can next looks at what's behind the saudi buildup that. 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 widespread reports that wealthy donors in saudi arabia had been funding the isis throughout their fight in syria and beyond riyadh may 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. saudi arabia means studio. a lot of their teaching contributed to the kid a year. 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 apos the territories that it now controls both iraq and syria the question is whether saudi arabia sees the isis as

a serious threat 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 is 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 team. could plug for a website that was a huge story is the great pictures too long. when it comes to nature showing what it's capable of new york sort of front row seats are going to miss. up close look at these sudden the ball. well here they come touching down on the big apple you would want to be underneath that watch it from the safety of our you tube channel oh is over twenty thousand videos there to be time as well online from us some twenty three million light years away a massive star clusters pulling on a fireworks display of truly galactic portions of the show seems to have reached earth just in time for the fourth of july celebrations today happy fourth of july

for celebrating it by the way you find all that on a you tube channel and r.t. dot com. britain's queen elizabeth has unveiled the u.k.'s biggest warship at a ceremony in scotland the vessel which is named. two aircraft carriers being built at a cost of over six billion pounds it's expected to bring her majesty's last official engagement to scotland before the referendum on the country's independence this coming september bullyboy group or. its birth is taking place in scotland which is why the queen is christening big ukase new super carrier with whisky instead of champagne according to 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 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 us super aircraft carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters ali boyko r.t. . talked about the 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 three 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 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 from 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 there are 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 at 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 are 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. will be falling vote after september of course now coming. the bright what happens when you put all the bronze album out same thom hartmann every day all in a room with larry king find out after the break. indecision in the ukraine well it appears there is a commitment to a multilateral ceasefire in the country fighting continues again talks the talk of peace though its forces pursued their assaults in the east is foreshadowed in
