choose the stories that impact the. choose. to. do you could do you to. residential areas come under fire in eastern ukraine with women and children among the victims despite the president's promises not to endanger civilians. meanwhile a classified document is leaked in the u.s. apparently outlining a brutal road map for a deadly assault on the region's opposing the government in kiev also on the way. palestinian protesters vent their anger at what they say was a revenge killing of a local teenager that's a clash with israeli police following his funeral in east jerusalem.

and back into iraq the top general in the united states says that the country may launch an assault on isis insurgents while saudi arabia since thirty thousand troops to the border sparking fears of an armed invasion. welcome my name is the harvey and you're watching r.t. and. we will start this hour with eastern ukraine where there is no end to the violence with more deadly gun fire and recent shelling in civilian areas we. believe beautifully.

these are the villages of condor a shove in the leg screeching who have buried their dead after a strike which government forces say was accidental eleven people were killed in one attack and the youngest victim was just five years old. but a years earlier. nor did you think there might be a move their reply larry god is no good you're used to it and you would do you really it. is that you who are got the larger lot barbaro but. more another airstrike a sit in the screeching leaving at least one woman and shells landed on a local council hospital and as you can see that it did some considerable damage residential areas of the city of kramatorsk in the dinette screeching have also come under far the shells exploding near a playground antigovernment forces say one bomb was killed and twenty injured in

recent attacks and residents of the local town of nickel i have to say that kids soldiers serving even shot at cars and refugees inside fleeing the region. so the armed operation continues apace worryingly there were leaks emerged apparently from a leading u.s. policy foundation which outlines chilling suggestions for coming down even harder on dissidents aren't on dissent in eastern ukraine that's if any peace deal should fail you can raise 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 read through the stages in this advice course of action there

is an e.u. resemblance to what's going on on the ground it advises that the crackdown be undertaken in 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 to 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 entire 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 plane. and journalist charlie mcgrath told r.t. that genuine or not the plan seems to outline what is happening in ukraine at the moment it certainly seems to be what is unfolding as your report shows that inside ukraine in circle this plan this rand corporation planned this out why we've seen it before it is the exact same model in a smaller scale that we saw happen in flew in iraq in two thousand and four isolate devastate build an enemy where it doesn't exist and convince the world but 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 in that was their near narrative in beluga the rand corporation putting

out this document that soon that it is real this is the blueprint for what they're doing inside of eastern ukraine as well. another development several areas on ukraine's eastern border of 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 there haven't been any casualties in this latest attack but that several key pieces of infrastructure were damaged and one of the shells landed in front of a bus station although no vehicles were there at the time but a t.v. crew from channel five did get caught up in the shelling. but. we just look at it do you see what's happening this is russian territory these are shows hitting russian territory and they're coming in from ukraine well they were filming in russia's rostov region near the border with ukraine when the shells came down the journalist said that they heard at least nine explosions as they tried to

flee to safety our correspondent in ukraine maria for notion who's witnessed similar shellings explains what it's like for people in the region we hear heavy a to rebel argument or 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 and a short twenty five kilometers north of lugansk where several civilians were killed and we were there shortly after the bargeman 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 questions 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 showers then the 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 every day lives 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 foreign policy chief catherine ashton but the head of the wrong paul institute for peace and prosperity believes pushing those previous rhetoric places a question mark over the upcoming peace talks with the east. 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 who are decimating villages and i think this 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 and. to stay with us here in r.t. still to come this hour ukraine is in dire straits sucking the last of its gas from the ground reservoirs of the moscow cut off supplies of a failed christ goshi actions last. night so hundreds of palestinians have clashed with israeli police in east jerusalem that's following the funeral procession for a young palestinian teenager crowds of protesters threw rocks at officers injuring more than a dozen or authorities responded with tear gas and stun grenades israeli security forces beefed up the youth and selfish thoughts of being killed in revenge for the murders of three jewish teenagers that was last week which israel blames on hamas

are searching for their killers israel arrested hundreds of palestinians and raided thousands of homes in the west bank and the tensions off further fueled 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 us that the situation is on a knife edge. what we are seeing right now is a retaliation from both sides circulation more time calls were made for a ferret 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 their hamas rule guys are if the rocket fire does not stop from gaza or 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 the palestinian woman who come to the israeli casualties the whole wall is talking about this there is not peace process violence is there anything the scene you have poverty 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 there may not be enough america's top of army general is leaving the door open to the 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 required this or if president obama gives the order currently the u.s. is gathering intelligence of the number of iraqi deaths continues to grow more than

two thousand were killed in june alone meanwhile saudi arabia has reportedly begun amassing its troops along the border with iraq a middle east affairs journalists that manuel oxon writer says that the saudis are seeking to gain the upper hand not only in the region but well beyond in 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 are and ice off the west we have now the huge debate also in

context of the isis debate off the so-called european volunteers choying the i.c.c. forces and other east limited 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. so as a company they stop taking kids tailor soldier spy german intelligence has arrested a man who allegedly hundred secret government info and i say details on the scandal the shaking in secret agencies to the call on the way forward plus a had written screen names the u.k.'s biggest have a warship while the future of britain's nuclear defense is remains a question of scotland's independence referendum or not after the short break.

i'll talk to my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. pollution and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your point. secure cards on the docket no. more weasel words when you need a direct question you prepared for a change when you write you should be ready for a. freedom of speech. and the freedom to watch. dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. things is changing the world right now.

the picture. from around the. globe to. me. about you 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 after russia cut off supplies over unpaid bills and this is creating unease in the e.u. and this is the block's energy chief. he says that the domino effect is inevitable even for european powerhouse germany the fear is that unless you crane starts filling up its storage facilities it may start siphoning gas that was destined for europe and that warning has already been voiced by gas prom and echoing those

concerns which is prime minister believes ukraine's troubles could bloom into a full scale gas crisis as soon as this autumn to reach a very very i've made the claim on his facebook page so why is there so much concern about a wider gas crisis well to find out with such a quick look at our map. and as we can see countries they receive their gas from russia via multiple pipelines the lion's share of them going through ukraine moscow or stress that the supplies will continue as before but if the fears of a siphoning are realized europe won't get the gas that it needs this winter which is what happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine david cox the managing director of london energy consulting says that he could end up having to pay for kiev's debt. we've taken the ukraine into political sphere the ukraine economy is pretty much a passkey 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 there are european costs prices which are traded gas at the t.t.s. been in holland all the german herb's will go up as a result of that lack of gas russian gas heating europe when that happens all of the consumer appeals 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 caspi a lot of the ukrainians pay or we pay it one way or another 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 high class spills as a result. telling tall tales on your c.v. could land you in a whole lot of bother at least if you're on the search for work in the u.k.

be in the. wrong. and there is more military hardware on show this time in the u.k. where britain's queen elizabeth has unveiled the country'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 expected to be her majesty's last official engagement in scotland before the referendum on the country's independence which will take place in september police border has its 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 poured into 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 establishments and scotland in the event if it depended but the problem is that at the moment there's simply no. happen to britain's defense says if scotland were to leave the union the case first see the lord has warned that the royal navy is already constrained by budget cuts and the split with scotland but further weaken the effectiveness of britain's maritime defense says 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 and western scotland try to keep water location is if 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 with gods but if they vote yes to independence britain's new us super acra carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters polly boyd r.t. . and earlier my colleague kevin owen spoke with two british military experts about the possible implications for the u.k.'s defense forces 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 but it ends up less efficient so there will be less money effectively and we already don't spend enough on defense assuming with 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 an independent scotland all roads eventually lead to troy didn't know the sort. 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 nowhere that the trident fleet plus warheads could go in the u.k. in the short to medium term and to move it would be hugely expensive and disruptive the cost of redeploying at the trident the ballistic missile submarines and the weapons is huge particular if you try and do it very quickly there are places you could send them to over the long term but would the rest of you k. be willing to spend that extra money that's involved to do it and i'm not sure they would the fifty thousand jobs are depending on the defense industry in scotland what's going to happen to those jobs do you think says we're off 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 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. let's round up some more world headlines for you now starting with a suicide blast that's left two people dead and injured three more in pakistan's largest city. bomber slammed a motorbike laden with explosives into the wall of a mosque with the explosion causing damage to nearby buildings and vehicles is the first major attack in pakistan since the thirty's launched a military operation against radical fighters in the north of the country a month ago. elsewhere teenagers be shot dead in egypt's capital during clashes between supporters of the former president mohamed morsy and security forces dozens

of people protesting were arrested as they marched to mark a year since the former is less leader was ousted police then closed off public squares. in cairo to prevent people from gathering earlier a bomb went off on a train in the coastal city of alexandria injuring million people. three miners have been rescued from an illegal gold mine in honduras after a landslide left eleven people trapped underground it's not known whether the remaining work is the story life but it is thought that they've got just a small amount of water and oxygen left in only enough to last three days rescue efforts are being complicated by the threat of rain. and i know that you see a member of germany's foreign intelligence agency has been arrested on suspicion of spying for the united states during questioning the suspect reportedly said that he'd been gathering information about the ongoing poly adventure inquiry into

n.s.a. activities in germany one of the whistleblowers who testified before the investigative committee on thursday believes that 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 store in its databases so that other like law enforcement or other agencies in the government can take advantage of it and use it illegally but fundamentally boils down to the respect for the rights of others and the 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. i mean that with the latest news headlines at the top of the hour they stay with us that after the break we'll take a look at life on the breadline in the world's richest nation. on. the war it's probably the most complex and difficult human activity. but. not all of us are still locked up. in the phenomenon of friendly fire probably extends back to the invention of gunpowder. to kill a bunch of people who don't know what they're on the premises there are of us people. reading. this some of the

shoots my brother in the leg not intentional because it is because it was nine times four in the morning even the best even the mesh shoulders. are going to make mistakes this is this whole idea of brotherhood an author and then and camaraderie in this sense it was in this context that has absolutely no place. as a new physician i swear to abide by the hippocratic oath. 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 anyone. doctors of the docs on our team. this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something is simple as people playing soccer games you can see individual players and you can see the ball. and you can only see is facial expressions you can see is a mouth open crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe even asked. for forgiveness for. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured.

or in lakewood like we do jersey usa and what was going on in this town is really fight unique in that there's a major what we call gentrification one group of people is moving into the town and getting the lion's share of the housing and what it is is this new community is going in and they're they're buying up the homes but they're buying it up with the recycled taxpayer dollars see the ten it belongs to this group but also the landlord belongs to this group also so that the welfare money that goes through it up pay for their apartment goes back to the landlord in a same group so that money stays within their community and is just recycle and so what what's happening here is they're buying up the rest of the community with packs taxpayer dollars and so basically what it is is the person living in

a home is paying taxes he's paying for his. home to be bought out by this new group . you know it's just not right it's just wrong and the the politicians are allowing it because a new population has a voting block and they vote as one organized group. and so come election time all the politicians want those thousands of votes on their side so they look the other way what they're doing in lakewood is illegal it's it's wrong it's an ethical but the politicians look the other way because they want the votes of this voting bloc. this is the abuses.
