villages of khandahar shocker in the lugansk region buried their dead after an airstrike which government forces say was accidental eleven people were killed in the attack and the youngest victim was just five years old you could do you. know you can skid you're going to do did you used good news because you could lose used three years earlier darn nor did you think there might be a move very well larry god is no good you're used to me and you would you really it . is that you who i. know there are strikers sits in the region leaving at least one woman dead shells landed in a local cancer hospital and as you would be able to see here it did some considerable damage the residential areas of the city of kramatorsk in the donetsk region have also come under fire with shells exploding near a playground and to government forces say that one man was killed and twenty injured in the recent attacks residents of the local town of nicholai say care of

soldiers of even shot a cause with refugees inside who were fleeing the region. so the armed operation continues apace worryingly though a leak has emerged apparently from a leading u.s. policy foundation which outlines chilling suggestions for coming down even harder on dissent in east ukraine if any peace deal should fail briggs's the details. 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 a global policy think tank financed by the us government and corporations which mainly offers research and analysis for the pentagon we cannot independently verify the authenticity of this memorandum we hope that the rand corporation will get back to us with a comment but as we through the stages in this advice course of action there is an

eerie resemblance to what's going on on the ground it advises that the crackdown be undertaken perspective of public opinion and operation costs now the stage one is called total isolation of the rebel region it basically implies 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 this is exactly what's happening in the city of slovyansk which is blocked from the rest of the world water supply is disrupted power supply is disrupted people there are not receiving essential goods now stage two of this memorandum says ground assault should be preceded by airstrikes against the enemy strategic facilities artillery and mortar teams now stage three says the area of the anti-terrorist campaign will be made off limits to foreign media we know how scores

of russian journalists have been barred from entering ukraine to cover the war in the east so we 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. let's get more on this now and speak to judas don de bar from c.p.r. news adult place for joining goes first of all what do you make of this supposedly realistic does it sound to you. well actually knowing something about rand corporation that's where the reports credit the bam oh it rings very true rand corporation in one nine hundred fifty s. for example was contracted to take a look at the emerging political power of minorities in the cities they were what people were learning as they got concentrated at the ghettos people actually were

learned that they could accumulate political power elect members of congress and state legislatures and things and this became a problem for the status quo so randy advised them to basically destroy the neighborhoods scatter the populations to the four corners of the you know of the region and thereby decimate the political power and urban renewal accomplished that so. as far as it coming from rand it's quite credible to me it's the kind of work that they can gauge him and as far as you understand as the run corporation still have the ear of the government are they still influential yet my understanding is they advised the pentagon to this day yes ok. this kind of advice. if it was to turn out to be legitimate we are trying to contact the organization now run to get some kind of response and if it turns out to be legitimate is it the convent vice you think that can listen to. well first of all what's going on in the ground does resemble the memo very much it talks about in the bullet points that

first that they should know that the one of the benefits of a military operation against the people in the east would be that it would decimate the political leadership and it would scatter the political constituency disorganize it so there would be no opposition political force that's the first thing the second step out of the second benefit it claims is the destruction of the coal mining industry there which would eliminate the need for quote unquote subsidies in other words the need to pay the workers and the pensions for the people that are from the coal mines the third thing is that the destruction of the industry that would result in the east would mean that there would be less demand for russian oil and these are the kinds of things that they say are benefits and then they say forth that they can blame all of this on the intransigence of the ukrainian of the east ukrainian activists so you know this is what my country exports there was a time in history when the united states exported cars food all kinds of

manufactured goods and what they called good old american know how and that what they export basically are guidelines for genocide i'm ashamed. now like i said before we have to be wary when it comes to leaks you never know which ones will turn out to be true and which why but should this plan of action actually be very high how significant do you think this leak would become while it looks to me like a war crime or perhaps serial war crimes what is being advocated are war crimes you're talking about genocide and forced removal of the population you know directly caused by you know with intent by the military operation and then some sort of group accountability for those that remain being assumed to be the enemy terrorists and such that it's criminal in so many levels if rand did this they should be prosecuted but also the united nations or the i.c.c.

or someone should look into it to see if the united states government had a role in bringing rand to ukraine because if so there are culpable and there are officials in the u.s. government that should be prosecuted as well i was speaking to the ball from c.p.r. news thank you. now another development several areas on ukraine's eastern border being 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 that there haven't been any casualties in this latest attack but the several key pieces of infrastructure were damaged or the shells landed in front of a bus station although no vehicles were there at the time but a t.v. crew from russia's channel five did get caught up in the shelling but. we need to stop it do you see what's happening this is russian territory these are shells hitting russian territory and they're coming in from ukraine and they were filming in russia's rostov near the border with ukraine when the shells came down

the journalist said they heard at least nine explosions as they tried to flee to safety our correspondent in ukraine marie if i'm not sure who's witnessed similar shellings explains what it's like for people in the region. we hear heavy a to rebel movement 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 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 the badman 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 out of five today were closed because there were no bodies but actually pieces of land on the way back from these two is 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 ukraine's president has proposed a time and a place for the next round of negotiations with representatives of the self-proclaimed republics in a phone conversation with the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton the head of the institute for peace and prosperity believes that because previous rhetoric places 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 for decimating villages and i think that shouldn't be

a surprise because the new president has already said quote we will attack and liberate our way and the 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. stay with us here on our taste also come this hour ukraine is in dire energy straits sucking the very last of its gas from underground reservoirs after moscow cut off supplies of a failed price negotiations last month. next hundreds of palestinians have clashed with israeli police in east jerusalem last fall in the funeral procession for a young palestinian teenager crowds of protesters threw rocks at offices injuring more than a dozen or thirty's responded with tear gas and stun grenades israeli security forces beefed up in the area before the march began the youth is thought to have

been killed in revenge for the murders of three jewish teenagers last week which israel blames on hamas for searching for their killers israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes in the west bank and the tensions are further fueled by airstrikes from both sides who said israel to mobilize its troops in guards on palestinian journalists covering the israeli palestinian conflict told us that the situation is on a knife edge. what we are seeing right now is retaliating from both sides. more time calls were made for a ferret intifada or uprising and over 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 against their hamas rule guys are if the rocket fire does not stop from gaza over the israeli military might intervene according to the testing in the center for mirrors 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 from the international community from the world leaders when it comes to that because today we want to come to the israeli casualties the whole wall 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 washington's wait and see approach to the crisis in iraq could change the u.s. already has more than seven hundred fifty troops in the country and is currently advising the iraqi army on how to defeat isis insurgents but that may not be enough america's top army general is leaving the door open to this country's increased military involvement chairman of the joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey says that the u.s. could launch an assault on isis militants if national interests require this 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 meanwhile saudi arabia has reportedly begun the massing its troops along the border with iraq a middle east affairs journalist a man well oxon writer says that the out is a seeking to gain the upper hand not only in the region but well beyond in europe. two states which are involved in the eyes this approach taking 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 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 our allies off the west we have now the huge debate also in the

context of the isis debate off the so-called european volunteers choying the i.c.c. forces and other easily missed 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. so the film where this out tinker tailor soldier spy german intelligence is arrested a man who allegedly hunted she could government information over to the and say details on the scandal the shaking bird in secret agencies to the pool coming up very shortly also britain is a big plane carrier ever just these last formal commitment to scotland before the independence referendum or are not after this short break.

i'm out in the stories we cover here not in here and start the. same time there's a reason they don't want to. point. out now let's break the set. this is the media leave us so we leave the media. the see bush is your. play your party is it. seems that no one is asking with big guests that you deserve answers from. politics. despite promises of ukraine's president is not to endanger civilians in the east more residential areas are coming under fire country rages in saudi arabia since

thirty thousand troops to its border with iraq sparking fears of an arms invasion this will be associated with the standoff between asylum seekers in the forty's pittsburgh triggering protests in support of the refugee. what other media turns a blind eye to you get on r.t. . welcome back you're watching r.t. international now another crisis is looming for ukraine it's decreasing natural gas reserves kiev has already resorted to tapping its long term storage tanks that's after russia cut off supplies over unpaid bills and this is creating ernie's in the e.u. . this is the blocs energy chief going to are to go he says the domino effect is inevitable even for european powerhouse germany the fear is that unless you crane starts filling up with storage facilities it may start siphoning gas that was destined for europe and that warning has already been voiced by gas prom and

echoing get these concerns russia's prime minister believes that ukraine's troubles could bloom into a full scale gas crisis as soon as this autumn dmitri medvedev making the claim on his facebook page. so why is there so much concern about a wider gas crisis in europe well find a bit more let's take a look at our map here countries receive gas from russia via multiple part lines and we can see the bulk of them laid out here the lion's share of it goes through ukraine that's pretty self evident there moscow has stressed that the supplies will continue as before but if the fears of a siphoning are realized in europe will not get the gas that it needs for the coming winter and that's exactly what happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine david cox the managing director of london energy consulting says that the e.u. could end up having to pay for kiev's debt 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 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. 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. 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 that european consumers will face higher gas bills as a result. telling tall tales on your c.v.

before the referendum on the country's independence which will take place in turned our correspondent has more. 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 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 gawd's 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 boy artsy. my colleague kevin owen spoke to british military experts about the possible implications for the defense force. 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 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 government has said it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory however other 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 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. one of the is a member of germany's foreign intelligence agency has been arrested on suspicion of

spying for the u.s. during questioning the suspect reportedly said 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 things that current laws just all until last occurred 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 foundational of our constitution you can take a look at that the storage facilities they're building you 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 at fort meade as well as other facilities around the world. do stay with us because after the break they'll be some tough talking on cross talk about decisions taken by ukraine's president and whether they are leading the country. 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 chipped because she was actually king full time but only getting paid the part time salary technically the

term gypped is somewhat racist it 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 was 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. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic in school here on. reporting from the world talks about six fifty rpm interviews intriguing
