villages of congress shelved care in lugansk region burying their dead after an airstrike which government forces say was accidental eleven people were killed in that attack and the youngest victim was only five years old. he could do you. could do you can skid you're going to do did used good news because you could lose used but he is very it down nor did you think there might be a move the boat goes very primary colors you get your use to me and you would you really see it. was eight years later. and another airstrike has hit in the lugansk region in at least one woman and their shells landed on this local cancer hospital as you can see it did considerable damage and residential areas of chroma tosca the donetsk region as well also came under fire shells exploding or playground and government forces say one man was killed there and twenty injured in the recent

attacks at the residence of a local town of nicholas say here soldiers even shot at cars with refugees inside who were trying to get away and flee the region. so the armed operation continues apace than worryingly a leak submerged now to the sea evening apparently from a leading us policy foundation which outlines chilling suggestions for coming down even harder on dissent in east ukraine if any forthcoming peace deal fails got it she can scrap the details about that. there's this leaked confidential document that surfaced in the online media it's 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 authenticity 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 goodbyes of course the faction there is an ear a resemblance to what's going on on the ground it advised us that the crackdown be undertaken special public opinion and operation call now the stage one says the total isolation of the rebel region basically implies that everyone who's left behind deserves all the horrors that may come upon them the plan says the region shal 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 stage to of this advice course of action we ground assault still be preceded by airstrikes against the enemy strategic facilities artillery and mortar teams now the stage three of

this document says the area of the anti terrorist camp campaign should be made off limits to foreign media and we know how stores of russian journalists have been has been barred from entering ukraine to cover the war in the including our teacher 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. well let's discuss the latest child of a graph founder of y. the way news other charlie i gather you've seen a copy of this as well as i was still trying to corroborate it but the real estate does this plan to you do you see what's been happening so far much about with what's proposed here certainly and take you for having me yeah i guess the legitimacy of this this leaked document time will tell if it's the real thing or

not. you know regardless of what we find out you know if this was. truly a leak in the rand corporation or somebody the idea of this to go it certainly seems to be what is unfolding as your report shows the inside ukraine in circle bombardment irrespective if it's a civilian area or not the reports that are coming out that video that is coming out the death toll that that is being reported is largely civilian it seems that there is an absolute no to the bad news and this we can number around and happens that just be a perfect outline for what's happening now i mean further it goes on to talk about setting up in term and camps to be confiscating people's property so it glorify the ukrainian army right if any of this is proved me washington has committed to peace if any of this is proved in this league is genuine what's not going to say for trust to any future peace deal. well i think the we the idea of

a future peace deal at least in the mind of the west and the chocolate king perishing co is long since left the building big you know it's been i think it's not evident time and time again they talk about peace they implement the you know so-called cease fire you know but even when the issue of the ceasefire you know his his threat his warning was i will crush any opposition that doesn't we've seen and it just so happens that the ceasefire ins on the day that they signed a deal with the e.u. and the west and a few days later hostility hostility hostilities resume this planned this rand corporation planned this outline we've seen it before it is the exact same model in a smaller scale that we saw happen inclusion in iraq in two thousand and four isolate devastate build an enemy where it doesn't exist and convince the world that only you know the residents of this three hundred thousand city

a person city every single person left there is an enemy of the state and must be eliminated and destroyed that was their narrative in palooza the rand corporation putting out this document that assuming that it is real this is the blueprint for the what they're doing inside of eastern ukraine as well again assuming this is real we keep stressing this because we can call right at the moment it appears to be but we've still got to. dot the i's cross the t.'s on this one most certainly how influential is the rand corporation would they be listened to if this was true and if what was being recommended here was going to be active bill absolutely the rand corporation is a key element in the military industrial complex it would help salute we be listened to and you know you don't have to take our tea or my word or any other reporting agencies word for it look at the results on the ground this is exactly what's going on internment camps you know complete of disarray should have any any

kind of opposition it's order. indeed we haven't seen a half of it as you say ok charlie mcgrath founder of wide awake news thank you for your thoughts thank you. all the developments know several areas of ukraine's eastern border of been hit by army mortar rounds multiple shells at the same checkpoint where a russian border guard was injured in a similar incident two weeks ago local authorities say they are. judy casualties this time this latest attack by the several key pieces of infrastructure would moved one of the shells landed in front of a bus station no buses there at the time so again no injuries but a t.v. crew from russia's channel five did get caught up in that shelling but. 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 where they were filming in russia's restore free agent near the border with ukraine when those shells came in the journalist said they heard at least nine explosions as they tried to get away free to safety from the area our correspondent in ukraine roofer

nausia news witnessed similar shelling explains what it's like for people in the region right now. we hear heavy artillery bombardment 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 air we heard it again and 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 in the short twenty five kilometers north of lugansk where several civilians were killed and we were there shortly after they'd been barden it 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 and on the way back from this foolish from the funerals again the shelling started and one of the shells landed not more than thirty meters away for us when we were driving by so it becomes very dangerous to move here. 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 this choice and they have to move and they say that they fear more and more for their lives ukraine's president's proposed the time and place for the next round of negotiations with representatives of the self-proclaimed republics in a phone conversation apparently with the e.u.'s foreign policy chief catherine ashton that of the wrong paul institute for peace and prosperity told us he believes pro showing his previous rhetoric no place is a question mark over the upcoming peace talks 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 so it's hard to be very optimistic about it everything that i've seen has shown that the jets and the military from here forward decimating villages and i think that shouldn't be a surprise because the new president has already said quote we will attack in

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 to sexualize and i think we're seeing it yet again. coming up to this cranes in dire energy straits sucking the last of gas from underground reservoirs up to moscow to cut off its supplies last month because if you john paid bills because everything that. hundreds of palestinians have clashed with israeli police in east jerusalem after the funeral procession of a young palestinian teenager crowds of protesters threw rocks at offices in remote doesn't want to thirty's responded with tear gas and stun grenades the israeli security forces beefed up security in the area before that march began he used this thought to have been killed in revenge for the murders of three jewish teenagers last week which israel blamed on hamas while searching for their killers israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes in the west bank

and the tensions of further filled by airstrikes from both sides which led israel to mobilize its troops in gaza on palestinian journalist who's covering the israeli palestinian conflict told me the situation's on a real knife edge there now. what we are seeing right now is retaliating from both sides. more time calls were made for i fear 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 the israeli army officials. there hamas or all girls are if the rocket fire does not stop from gaza or the israeli military might intervene according to the testing a center for bureaus of 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 confirmation from that from the international community from the world leaders when it comes to the palestinian we want to come to the israeli

casualties the whole world is talking about this there is not peace process violence is there working the scene you have property you have your all all kinds of you know factors so the environment the atmosphere is there for a third intifada reporting 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 might not be enough america's top army general knows 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 an assault on isis militants if national interests require it or if president obama gives the thumbs up currently the u.s. is gathering intelligence about it while the number of iraqi deaths continues to grow day by day in fact more than two thousand people were killed in june alone meanwhile saudi arabia is reportedly begun amassing its troops along the border with iraq the middle east journalist told me how the saudis seeking it again an

upper hand not only in the region but well beyond into europe to. 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 it's a country which is very much engaged in europe saudi arabia is doing a lot for. 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 our allies off the west we have now the huge debate also in context off the ice a steep eight off the so-called european volunteers choying the 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. just ahead tinker tailor soldier spy a german intelligence is arrested a man who allegedly hunted secret government info over to the n.s.a. details on the scandal the shaking berlin secret agencies of the cold war talk about shortly the bus to britain's biggest ever aircraft carrier has been unveiled in scotland it's named after one of elizabeth and cost a whopping six billion pounds we've got more on but after this break. i'm out the stories we cover here not in here and start the hamster headline news of reason they don't want to. point. out now let's break the

set. play. basic needs with these economic ups and downs in the final months day belong to the old saying i and the rest look like it's going to be taking will be everything we own all day.

logano crisis is looming for ukraine it's decreasing natural gas reserves scare was already resorted to tapping his long term storage tanks after russia cut off supplies over huge um paid bills and this is no creating unease in the e.u. in fact this is the blocs in chief he says that he worries about a domino effect inevitable for even germany the european powerhouse the fear is that unless you create starts filling back up those storage facilities it may well start siphoning gas that was destined for europe that warnings already been voiced by the russian side gazprom and echoed by russia's prime minister who believes ukraine's troubles could balloon into a full scale gas crisis as soon as this autumn to meet some advantages you can see there making that claim on his facebook page so why is there's so much concern about this and that it could become a real hot topic or cold topic in fact by as soon as the autumn let's look at this

map and blow it up a bit shall we if countries receive gas from russia of our multiple pipelines here they are but the lion's share of it goes through ukraine moscow to stress that these supplies will continue as before no problems for us russia is concerned but if the fear over siphoning is realized europe won't get the gas it needs this winter it has happened before this president for it happened in two thousand and six it happened in two thousand and nine i spoke to david cox the managing director of london energy consulting he told me the e.u. could end up having to pay for debt to get it out of this mess. 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 or 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 european consumers will face higher gas bills as a result. well from a worry about no energy to look at this amount of energy when it comes to nature showing what it's capable of new york sort of front row seat just take a look at this it's on our you tube page you get up close look at these thunder balls touching down in the big apple in fact while you choose page has got more than twenty two thousand great videos lined up meantime on our website some twenty

three million light years away we hear this massive star clusters putting on this fireworks display of truly go lactic proportions that show seems to have reached the earth just in time for the fourth of july celebrations happy independence day to you if you're celebrating it to find more of that at 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 after the monarch is the first of two aircraft carriers being built at a cost of over six billion pounds it's expected to be a majesty's last official engagement in scotland to before that referendum on the country's independence in september bali 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 according to the u.k.'s defense secretary it's a demonstration of britain at its very best the royal navy has sixty 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 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 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 ali boyd r.t. . to talk 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. unitary 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 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 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 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 i would of course keep track of that story if you were up to and after september. a member of germany's foreign intelligence agency's been arrested on suspicion of spying for the u.s. during questioning the suspect reportedly said that he'd been gathering information about the ongoing parliamentary inquiry into n.s.a. activities in germany one of the whistleblowers who testified before the investigative committee on thursday believes current laws just aren't enough to curb mass surveillance. it doesn't it doesn't do what needs to be done i mean they need to have. they did have a process that does limits what n.s.a.

looks at and can take in and stored in its database so that other like law enforcement or other agencies in the government can take advantage of it and use it to illegally but fundamentally boils down to the respect for the rights of others and their rights to privacy and their their rights to be left alone that's the foundation of our constitution and you can take a look at that the storage facilities they're building and get an idea of how much they're taking in like a million square foot storage facility in bluffdale utah another six hundred thousand square foot facility they're starting to build they started last summer. in fort meade on fort meade and then a four hundred thousand square foot facility they have down in san antonio and other stories that they've had existing all along that ford made as well as other facilities around the world. i'm kevin owen here moscow tonight saying farewell france might maybe cut you some point tomorrow for. the rest of the coming hours with all the latest breaking news that after the break in
