no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . this is arts international this hour 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 endanger civilians. the time a classified document is league in the u.s. apparently a road map for a deadly assault on the rest of east east of ukraine if peace negotiations with the self-proclaimed republics fail we've got a lot coming up this also. elsewhere here israeli police fired tear gas on palestinian protesters venting their anger at what they say was a revenge killing of a teenager this thousand joined his funeral in east jerusalem. back to iraq

a top general in the united states says the country may launch an assault or nicest insurgent was saudi arabia sends thirty thousand troops to the border now sparking fears of an armed invasion. hello good morning i'm kevin and it's just past midnight now here in moscow you're with r.t. international and first more pledges from kiev to commit to a cease fire but the shells the bullets continue being fired in east ukraine none the less all the while bringing more misery to the people there and for the villages of congress shove to respect it's been a particular week of tragedy it culminated this friday with the funeral of one of the conflict the youngest victims who celebrated his fifth birthday just one day before the attack that killed him and his father he was there just hours after the

homes were left in ruins by an airstrike and now grieving locals buried a. beaut. wouldn't want to put it down and i would like it. to me. the moment the bump on the beach what if you just thought it was a good to see you know what. you . may want to go move forces say a woman's been killed and several people injured in an army attack on a key regional city lugansk which is one of the centers of anti care of resistance it came under renewed artillery fire overnight shells landed on a local cancer hospital about to see the pictures from where. they should be able to see in just a minute that building was badly damaged those pictures coming up know any second.

ok well we get them all tell you about and that we've also got pictures coming out of there we go. from lugansk you can see the damage there you can see. the place right mess windows in except for a piece of the shell there now that's look at those pictures from kramatorsk another target of here is the sole residential areas have been hit with shells exploding near a playground and to government forces say one man's big killed twenty injured in the recent attacks there thirty years earlier you know what do you think there might be a move very quickly eric there is no good you're used to it and you would be to really see it. is that you low it got the large a lot bob dole but oh you. know i'm still me you know you used to always be there you. could do you. know you

skid you're going to do good used good news because you could lose used. but as reports of casualties continue president given his part in pledging he would not harm civilians since that truce ended on monday. but we will whine 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 and other developments to tell you about several areas the russian border with ukraine have been hit by ukrainian army mortar rounds local authorities say that this latest attack hasn't caused any casualties but it has damaged several key infrastructure facilities a t.v. crew from russia's channel five got caught up in that shelling. but. we just look at it you see what's happening this is russian territory these are shows hitting russian territory and they're coming in from ukraine. though filmy

russia's rostow frege is very near the border with ukraine when the show came in the journalists say they saw and heard at least nine explosions as they tried to flee to safety a correspondent in ukraine roof a national news witness similar shellings explodes what it's like for people in the region right now we hear heavy a to rebel argument 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 city just on wednesday we visited the village of static and a short twenty five kilometers north of lugansk where several civilians were killed and we were there shortly after the bottom and happened and today we came back to this village because they were funerals of five year old boy and his father and three other residents and coffins out of five today were closed because there were no bodies but actually pieces found on the way back from the sewage from the

funerals again the shelling started 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. so the armed operation continues apace warley know a leak submerged apparently from a leading u.s. policy foundation which outlines chilling suggestions for coming down even harder on dissent in east ukraine if any potential peace deal fails let's go live to washington our correspondent there garniture can i go on to tell us a little bit more about this i've been reading through it myself it's a pretty alarming reading. it is there's this leaked confidential document that surfaced in the online media is allegedly prepared by

the rand corporation for the ukrainian government with advice on how to carry out a swift crackdown in the east of the country the rand corporation is of course a global policy think tank financed by the us government and corporations which mainly offers research and analysis for the pentagon we can't independently verify the authenticity offered to city of this memorandum we hope that the rand corporation will get back to us with a comment but as we read through the stages in this advised course of action there is an earring resemblance to what's going on on the ground it advises that the crackdown be undertaken irrespective of public opinion and operation costs now the stage one says the total isolation of the rebel region eight basically implies that everyone who is left behind deserves all the horrors that may come upon them the plan says the region shall be encircled to the regions will be encircled with troops and sealed off entirely from any flow of goods and persons and that is

exactly what we see going on in the city of slovyansk it is blocked from the rest of the world we know that water supply is disrupted their power supply people are not getting essential goods now from his stage two of this advice course of action we ground assault be preceded by airstrikes against the enemy strategic facilities artillery and mortar teams now we know that a number of cities and villages in need to ukraine were shelled by ukrainian air force including blue gone so force the administration building in lugansk many civilian casualties there and just a few days ago the village of. near lugansk seven people were killed there including a five year old child now the stage story of this document says the area of the anti-terrorist kemp campaign she'll be made often. it's to foreign media and we know how scores of russian journalists have been have been barred from entering

ukraine to cover the war in the east including our teacher at least and three russian journalists were killed there again we cannot independently verify the authenticity of this memorandum and whether the ukrainian government is actually following the advice of the rand corporation but much of what we see happening there seems to follow that plan all right thanks for bringing us up to speed on what we know so far so good a copy of part of what we think is this leak to dock in front of me as well thanks for the update now from washington let's get some more thoughts. on the loan is a fraud affairs editor of the chronicle because the soldier spoke before tomorrow because even though you live on our high the other how much of this plot you've heard or have seen so far should this plan of action be verified how significant a leak could it become. well two points foot first of all i'm not shocked at all that but a shrink receiving instructions from washington in fact all along it seems pretty

obvious that the likes of the story are newland when dictating the pace of events in even dares the us so-called during my down was turning into terrorists done in the right sector may done so what is really interesting is that in these futile searches brand would be hired by the powers that be inside the washington beltway to do the scenario again playing for them which indicates that in spite of all the thousands of billions or trillions of dollars spent over the decades on national security and intelligence the government itself is not up to the task when the second important point to make is that we are in this would not be the first time the trend has been used in this way it is

a remnant of the old cold war think tank or e. so to say and what is particularly interesting is that. the steps that they suggested are not particularly in of it it is really the old cold war. regime of theirs through me brutal i'm sort of sort of but in their surgery again we can't verify any of this bones looking at their reporters talking about setting up in term and camps may be in the mop up operation using non-conventional arms it's talking about seizing the property i'm quoting him convicted and displaced residents of the lugansk and the nets region. they should be nationalized by the state and then later ward to the servicemen who will be distinguished for valor during the antiterrorist campaign it goes into great detail and is. stream li extremely harsh harsh big understatement we're not saying for a minute that the that president poroshenko would go by this but we will this come

from what's in the birds and i'm really going to take notice of this you think seriously i am pretty convinced that. the united states government and its minions and its consultants are totally devoid of any sense of moral guidance and propriety in other words that they are perfectly happy to contemplate de facto genocide of russian speakers and production ukrainians in their beds this fits in with their equal ease of consciousness with which they acted in the mekong delta during the tet offensive in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight and its aftermath and elsewhere not least during the bombing of the federal republic of yugoslavia of serbia and montenegro in one thousand nine hundred nine on the most spurious pretext so what we're looking at is simply.

blueprints for making sure that ukraine is turned into the mirror image of budgetary star ball and podolia in western ukraine it is a little bit like trying to turn the whole of the united states into the mirror image of south carolina in georgia in eighteen sixty one because. i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it there we've got an awful lot more to fit in we're sadly out of time for this trip give it foreign affairs editor of the chronicles magazine thank you for coming on and so short notice and give you should thoughts about this is appreciated ok for gentlemen as mention still ahead warnings of a full scale gas crisis looming for ukraine since has been cut off russian supplies now if not pay its bills we look at whether europe's doing and now the void a potentially cold winter.

but next hundreds of palestinians have clashed with israeli police in east jerusalem after the funeral procession of a young palestinian teenager early a crowd of protesters threw rocks at officers injuring over a dozen while authorities responded with tear gas and stun grenades israeli security forces were prepared for a rest before and beefing up security in and around the area tensions are far from receding in the region israel's also mobilized its troops around gars or after air strikes from both sides during the boys' funeral thousands gathered chanting a waving flags is confident covered in a palestinian flag was carried by mourners through the streets of east jerusalem is suspected that he was murdered in revenge for the killing of three jewish teenagers which israel blames on hamas while searches for searching for their killers israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes in the west bank on palestinian genesis spoke to covering the israeli palestinian conflict some of the

situations on the real knife edge. what we are seeing right now is retaliating from both sides situation could escape more time calls were made for a third intifada uprising and the latest incident the murder of the sixteen year old palestinian boy came after the murder of three israeli settlers this is going to fuel the tension and you know a number of threats made by israeli army officials against the hamas ruled gaza if the rocket fire does not stop from gaza then the israeli military might intervene according to the testing in the center for beer or statistics more than one thousand five hundred palestinian the children have been killed between two thousand and two thousand and thirteen we haven't heard any contamination from that world from the international community from the world leaders when it comes to the protests today when it comes to the israeli casualties the whole world is talking about this there is no peace process violence is there anything the scene you have poverty you have seen or all all kinds of you know factors so that the environment

the atmosphere is there for a third intifada. but just ahead springs queen names the u.k.'s biggest ever warship while the future of britain's nuclear defenses remains a question ahead of scotland's independence referendum. but next 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 and is currently advising the iraqi army on how best to defeat isis insurgents but that may not be enough america's top army general knows leaving with door opened his country may be increasing its military involvement chairman of the joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey says the u.s. could launch an assault on isis militants if national interests were required or if president putin get president obama rather gives the thumbs up now 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 other developments saudi arabia has reportedly begun amassing its troops on the border with iraq one arab media outlet said iraqi forces are withdrawn from the area though baghdad denies that middle east affairs journalist told me how the saudis are seeking to gain the upper hand not only 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 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 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 off 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 eastlands 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 more will do so much at all to international right after this quick break. i'll talk to my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. pollution from a no i will leave that to stapling to comment on your latter point i'm saying. to carry out

a car as i'm going to talk you know. i think you know more weasel. when you read a direct question be prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for a. freedom of speech later on down to freedom to my. dramas that can be ignored. stories others use in though. this is changing the world right. to picture. from a little. luck to.

get a lot of crisis is looming for ukraine it's decreasing natural gas reserves care was already resorted to tapping its long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies of a huge on pay bills and this is now creating unease in the e.u. it's the energy chief. you're seeing on the screen here he's worried about it he says there could be a domino effect inevitable even further and it may well start siphoning gas off that's actually destined for europe that warnings already been voiced by gazprom and it's been echoed by russia's prime minister who believes ukraine's troubles could balloon into a full scale gas prices as soon as this autumn the major event of made that claim on his facebook page so why so much concern than what the concern is that so much of the gas that europe gets goes through pipes through ukraine let's take a look at the mouth a bit closer then bring it in e.u. countries received gas from russia via multiple pipelines with a lion share goes through ukraine now moscow's stress no worries these supplies

will continue as before as per the contracts but the fears are that gas will be siphoned off it's happened before and europe then wouldn't get the gas it needs in winter it's happened before in two thousand and six it happened before in two thousand and nine david cox the managing director of london energy consulting told me the e.u. could end up having to pay kiev debted to get out of trouble. 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 spill 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. her 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 file and that really we

in the end we will have to pay that gas bill either ukrainians pay or we pay it one way or another there's not 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 for european consumers will face hike or spills as a result. 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 pounds is expected to be your majesty's last official engagement in scotland two before that referendum on the country's independence coming up in september bullyboy 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 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 to roil 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 stationed in 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 there is 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 asst super aircraft carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters polly boyko r.t. . talked about the possible implications for the 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 then can we expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa i think when we talk about defense and independence called 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 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 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 so 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 keep tabs on that story of course coming up to september and on wood. coming up after the break what happens when you put. there an age old in a room with larry king you can find out in a minute so you. have

never heard the expression pleasantly surprised well that is how i felt when i heard that the supreme court of the united states had ruled the digital information and cell phones of arrested people cannot be seized without a warrant finally the american people catch a break in a court decision this ruling is linked to the two cases in which the police used information on a suspect telephone to press for further charges against them i think that's the most important aspect of this decision is the press that it sets the court said that just because a cell phone is in a suspect's hand it does not make the information on it any less worthy of protection for which the founding fathers fought so could we extend this to say something like just because i have a telephone or computer that doesn't make the information on them unworthy of protection from the n.s.a. or other privacy invaders the thing is that the supreme court decision is a good start but the police using your cell phone against you upon arrest is just

the tip of the privacy destruction iceberg if the members of the highest court in land really do feel that the founding fathers fought to protect our privacy then they have a lot of paperwork and court decisions ahead of them for stuart but that's just my opinion. i'm larry king and joining me from washington is the host of our d.l. marriages the big picture and the syndicated radio talk show host tom hartman tom

is also a new york times best selling author his most recent book the crash of two thousand and sixteen in the book you say that the country's in the midst of an economic implosion that could make the great depression seem small are you an economist well where does this come from. i'm a reporter and and a commentator and better on the block a few times i've read a couple of books about economics but i'm not credentialed as an economist but i think that. pretty much everybody there's a growing consensus i think pretty much everybody has figured out that our economy has been rigged it's been gamed it it really got taken apart badly in the late ninety's nine hundred ninety nine and two thousand with gramley. which blew up the glass steagall act with the commodity futures modernization act.
