stuart. there's a reason they don't want to know more. now let's break the set. by now it's nine pm here in moscow this is r.t. international tonight more residential areas come under fire in east ukraine where people say they're living in constant fear of shelling even though the president promised not to in danger live. reporting to israeli police fired tear gas on palestinian protesters venting their anger at what they say was a revenge killing of a teenager this thousands flock to east jerusalem for his funeral. back to iraq the top general in the united states is the country may actually launch an assault on isis insurgents while saudi arabia sends thirty thousand

troops to the border sparking fears them of an armed invasion. from kevin lowe in a very good evening chief you just joined us our top story than to start. the russian border with ukraine several areas there have been hit by ukrainian army mortar rounds this evening multiple shells at the same checkpoint where a russian border guard was injured in a similar incident two weeks ago local authorities say that this latest attack hasn't caused any casualties but has damaged several key infrastructure facilities one of the shells landed in front of a bus station although no vehicles were there at the time but the t.v. crew from russia's channel five did get caught up in that shelling. we 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 they were filming in russia's rushed off region near the border with ukraine when those shells came in and on them the journalists said they saw and heard at least nine explosions as they tried to flee to safety a correspondent in ukraine rufenacht witnessed similar shelling to explain what it's like for people in the region right now. we hear heavy a two ribbon badminton 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 seat and it's. two different directions just on wednesday we visited the village of static in the short twenty five kilometers north of lugansk where several civilians were killed and we. we've witnessed of the fighting at the time when we were there shortly after the bottom

and happened and today we came back to this village because there were funerals of this five year old boy and his father and three other residents and four coffins out of five coffins today were closed because there were no bodies but actually pieces of. bodies and on the way back from the sewage 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 because the region and while we have a choice to go or not to go local residents those who decided to stay and leave their everyday life or those who decided to flee they don't have this choice and they have to move and they say that they fear more or more for their lives. rif an option there in the ganske rather developments to tell you about ukraine's president's promise to time and a place for the next round of negotiations with representatives of the

self-proclaimed republics in a phone conversation with eve's foreign policy chief catherine ashton there's been no response from the other side so far meantime back on the ground in the thick of it a woman is reportedly been killed and several people injured in an army attack on the eastern ukrainian city of lugansk which is one of the centers of antique air resistance it came under a new dog hillary fire overnight shells landed at a local cancer hospital as you can see here that building was badly damaged pictures to now here from kramatorsk another main target of kiev's assault residential areas have been hit there again with shells exploded near a playground and a government forces say one man was killed there and twenty injured in the recent attacks there's a correspondent just mentioned it's also been a traumatic time for the villages of we reported earlier this week from the area where innocent people were being killed by ongoing army shelling today it was the funerals of those victims including

a boy who had only just turned five and his father. when you buy a garment beautiful. woman it. was like you were. in the moment the bump on what you thought. you were. amidst the funerals as reports of casualties continue president poroshenko has been pledging he would not harm civilians since that true send it on monday. wouldn't want us to but we will advance and we will liberate our land they're proposing it as ukraine's armed forces the national guard and rather divisions will never use force against civilians they will never target residential areas. without some

comments from the executive director at the wrong pole institute for peace and prosperity you believe his rhetoric puts a question mark over the upcoming peace negotiations with the east. the talks will merely be about the conditions of their surrender so those aren't really those that really talks in the true sense of the word but 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 the 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 section wisely i think we're seeing it yet again but . still to come on the program in a few minutes maybe warm summer there were but warnings of a full scale gas crisis looming for ukraine's has been cut off from russian

supplies little bit later we'll look at whether europe is doing enough to avoid a cold winter. coming up live shortly now next though hundreds of palestinians have clashed with israeli police in east jerusalem following the funeral procession for a young palestinian teenager earlier crowds of protesters threw rocks at offices to which authorities 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's also mobilized its troops around gaza two after airstrikes from both sides join the boy's funeral thousands of chanting and flag waving crowds gathered coffin covered in a palestinian flag was carried by mourners through the streets of east jerusalem suspected it was a revenge killing for the murders of those three jewish teenagers which israel blames on hamas. searching for their killers israel arrested hundreds of

palestinians and raided thousands of homes in the west bank as part of human rights activist raji surround he thinks israel went too far. the worry is pushing people to north choice nobody can accept them being a good victim eleven pedophiles has been killed them and then asked if nobody care for that eric you already there in the eye of the storm and in the right moving them as you posted what they did even in that with tank here brought all he brought any under feet worth of that with. two methods of this third thing home to home just put in can we do to be humorous of the people. there i believe there are a few we around. this be immune to video of those there are only a minute and we have more hundreds of people who would be killed and injured. ahead tonight britain's queen aims the u.k.'s biggest ever warship for the future

britain's nuclear defenses remain up for question at the scott was independence referendum. washington's wait and see approach to the crisis in iraq could change the us already has over seven hundred fifty troops in the country and is currently advising the iraqi army on how to defeat isis insurgents but that might not be enough america's top army general now is leaving the door open these countries increased military involvement may be chairman of the joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey says the u.s. could launch an assault on isis militants if national interests were cry it would require it or indeed if president obama gives the order to currently the u.s. is gathering info intelligence and information while the number of iraqi deaths continues to grow more than two thousand were killed in june alone meantime saudi arabia has reportedly begun amassing its troops along the border with iraq one arab media outlet said iraqi forces are withdrawn from the area although baghdad is

denying that next ingratitude you can look for what's behind the saudi buildup. saudi arabia has reportedly sent thirty thousand troops to its border with iraq across that border is a quote of sectarian infighting the isis is susie 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 have 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. that uses 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 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 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 six kerry intentions is only getting more explosive in washington i'm going to check out r t. well middle east affairs journalist told us how the saudis are seeking to gain the upper in the region but well beyond to into 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 saudi arabia is doing a lot for ready. 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 are allies of the west we have now the huge debate also in context of the isis debate off these so-called european volunteers joining the ice these forces and other east limits forces in the middle east the 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 and to be without international more world news and make of know it but after this break. as a new physician i swear by the book to go. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise others to do so. i will never do harm to. doctors of the dogs on.

the. economic down in the final. deal and the rest. will be every week. hello again another crisis is looming for ukraine it's to creasing natural gas reserves kids already resorted to topping its long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies over unpaid bills and this is creating intense sunny's in the e.u. the this is the blog chief. he says a domino effect he worries is inevitable even for european germany the fear is that

unless she starts filling up in storage facilities it may then start siphoning off gas destined for europe it's happened before that warnings are already been voiced by gazprom and echoing those concerns to russia's prime minister believes she cry. troubles could balloon into a full scale gas crisis as soon as this autumn to meet a revote have made that claim on his facebook page so why is this so much concern about a wider gas crisis in europe let's take a look at the map either countries receive gas from russia via multiple pipelines in the lion's share of it goes through ukraine wasco stressed that these supplies will continue as before but if the fears of a siphoning are realized that i was just talking about europe won't get the gas it needs this winter we've seen it before as i said two thousand and six two thousand and nine let's talk to david cox is emerging director of the energy consulting in london david thanks for being with us on the face of it at the moment the e.u. doesn't look too bothered about it but of course it's. not too much demand for

energy is there something happening behind the scenes that we don't know about as you say and it's summer and we've come out of a mild winters so the gas storage facilities in western europe are quite full at the moment and demand because of the warmer weather is low as well so we have about two or three months to sort this out so i think there is pressure going on behind the scenes the you want the ukraine to sort this out with russia pay their gas bill otherwise we're going to suffer some severe problems come the winter judging by the way things are going at the moment it doesn't look like that any big solutions on the card anytime soon is irrelevant of complacency here do you think. i think i think possibly yes i mean i think there's a feeling that there's two three months away from october november when the cold weather starts and there's plenty of time to sort this out but the trouble is we have a history of this in the ukraine and russia when relations have broken down before

as you say the ukrainians have siphoned off the gas coming through transiting through the ukraine meant for germany and further west they siphon it off themselves so at the moment we have a bill standing of about four and a half billion dollars owed by the ukraine to the gas from unless they pay that soon they've been lent the money by the i.m.f. and so on to pay it but they're they seem to be playing a game of poker which at the moment isn't crucial because we have the time when it's the summer but it needs to be sorted out otherwise we're going to have some severe problems in the west that winter i got i had a higher priced sort of part and i gather you spoke to the u.k. energy minister about this what he have to say about it but i think they're concerned as well i mean i said to him there's really no a lose lose situation for the europeans in this in the sense that we've taken the ukraine into our political sphere the ukraine economy is pretty much

a basket case to be honest and if they can't pay their gas bill even though they're being loaned the money to do so what will happen in the winter is that our european gas prices which are traded gas at the t.t.s. have been in holland all the german herb's will go up as a result of that lack of gas russian gas hitting europe when that happens all of the consumer bills in western europe as well so it's a bit of a lose lose situation i said to the energy minister michael fallon that really. in the end we will have to pay that gas bill either ukrainians pay or we pay it one way or another was his response. he smiled. i think of the others and i'll defer to keep the fires burning as in the autumn when it's a windsurf ok there is a. there is a thought that europe as you say they brought ukraine into the fold no that it should be europe is paying for this huge bill

a massive bill about iou look at it do you think europe is going to help pay off it . well essentially i think it's one of probably technically will be loans to the ukrainians to pay the gas bill but then what happens afterwards in terms of repayment of those loans. who knows they're written off or not but i don't think there's going to be a direct payment by merkel writing a check to gazprom or putin that's not going to happen but i think they'll be via the ukraine they will put pressure europeans will put pressure on the ukraine to pay the gas bill before october that has to be done otherwise european consumers will face higher gas bills as a result. consorting thank you sounds like minutes they're always looking on the bright side of life a small get through everything thanks be on the program. to britain's queen elizabeth has unveiled the u.k.'s biggest warship at

a ceremony in scotland the vessel which is named after the monarch is the first of two aircraft carriers being built at a cost of over six billion it's expected to be a merge his last official engagement in scotland as well before the referendum on the country's independence coming up in september ali boyko reports. it that is taking place in scotland which is why the queen is christening the u.k.'s 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 unit based in scotland the s.n.p. has promised to maintain all military establishments in scotland if the event if it depended 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 c.

lord has warned that the royal navy is already constrained by budget cuts and the split with scotland but further we can be effective. 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 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 scots but if they vote yes to independence britain's new asst super aircraft carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters

. r.t. . the possible implications for the u.k.'s defense forces were two british military expert. for 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 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 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 triton 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 huge story in britain we're on the case and it will be following up to september. of course now online always got something to interest you hopefully and when it comes to nature showing what it's capable of we got some great pictures to look at this new york sort of front row seat as you'll see here you get up close look at these from the ball stretching down to the big apple well you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that you can watch it from the safety of our you tube channels always twenty two thousand videos that are more for you to look at meantime online as well from us body of portals and watch us on r.t. dot com some twenty three million light years away a massive star clusters putting on a fireworks display of truly go up to proportions the show seems to have reached earth just in time for the fourth of july celebration happy independence day if you celebrating it or two from us you'll find those pictures at r.t. dot com. anger at the way

germany treats immigrants poured over in berlin this week dozens of refugees held out against eviction by police inside a disused school threaten to torched the building and kill themselves the crisis only ended when the authorities agreed to turn the school into an international refugee center peter all over witness the siege. 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 a democracy the refugees who arrive in the italian multis 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 abandon 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 say standoff between them and place 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 under house and put the teakwood out who 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 in countless when they get here yet it's our laws that 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 the you and convention but germany doesn't accept this status they just want to push them back into 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 uproar over what they see as hypocrisy on asylum peter all over the land. thanks for checking out international we always appreciate it great programs lined up tonight after the break meet the whistle blows a blew the lid on the n.s.a. snooping their interview by abby martin in breaking the set just

a minute or two from. 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 gypped because she was actually king 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. indecision in ukraine while 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 control. of. lots of folks i'm out in martin and this is breaking the satellite got a very special show for you today between an exclusive sit down interview with two
