residential areas come under fire in eastern ukraine with 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 man 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 as thousands clashed with israeli police following his funeral in

east jerusalem. back to iraq the top general in the united states says the country may launch an assault on isis insurgents while saudi arabia sent thirty thousand troops to the border sparking fears of an armed invasion. welcome once again my name's neil harvey and you're watching r.t. international. and we will start with eastern ukraine where there is no end to the violence with more deadly gun fire and recent shellings in civilian areas we've got to believe beautifully. would you not look at the.

villages of condor a shove in the lip ganske region have buried their dead after an airstrike which government forces say was accidental eleven people killed in one attack the youngest victim was just five years old. but he years earlier. nor did you so there might be a move their reply let it go because it would be rejected to me if i knew what to do to receive it. is that you who are got the larger lot bob. but. another airstrike a sit in the region leaving at least one woman that shells landed on a local cancer hospital as you can 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 nick alive because say kiev soldiers even shot at cars with refugees inside 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 but coming down even harder on dissent in east ukraine if any peace deal fails and she can brings us 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 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 that 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 due crane 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. and we can discuss this further now with political commentators dean henderson who joins us live thanks for joining us first of all do you individually see similarities between this plan and the what some of called a very heavy handed approach bemused by the government in ukraine. well it makes perfect sense because a rand corporation is a think tank that you know basically it is the cia i mean it's the private version of the cia and there's just this back and forth between people and ran and then for people. the latest been zam a count who was the ambassador to afghanistan and later became the f. you know their master to iraq so not surprising the rand corporation is involved

with this it almost reminds me of this the peace plan which the cia wrote you know during the contra war as the same kind of stuff you know basically just total annihilation of this region infrastructure demoralized people and this is classic lou and as you warfare come in from the cia do you think it's some plausible that this would be the kind of plan that can be willing to put into effect a why not i mean the shango as well i call him porky shango is basically a puppet he's worth two billion dollars you know he's a ball with drug trade he's vote you know making cars and shop and all kinds of ways that olive garden so well you know he find out he's already financed right sector before the even happened and he financed these people on madonna so you know this is consistent to where you know we basically have an oligarchy with us the tip of the spear is a bunch of fascists right sector people who are now in the military and this is again this is nothing different from nicaragua in one thousand nine hundred four nothing different from angola. else salvador panama this is

a classic textbook example low intensity warfare by cia and fortunately it was their puppet and he's more than willing to carry it out the amazing thing again is the restraint being shown you know i'm not sure how much longer. now i functioned like those described in the plan would be implemented and i would leave you crying . well i mean again to my last point you know that the the patience of utter putin has been tested there i think what's going on in the big picture here is the international bankers are you know insolvent i mean deutsche bank are b.s. you know chase citigroup bank of america all these huge money center banks are insolvent where it's zero interest rates they're desperately trying to reflate the global economy i think that's the key because they're just really scared a deflationary depression that's when bankers go to jail that's when they're soup lines that's when people get really angry and bankers do go to jail if this will go

to jail so they're desperately trying to reflate the global economy and the only thing the united states as do that is military industrial complex oil prices at the pump are up thirty five cents here in the last week and the artificial inflation of oil prices and defense contractors is or attempt to reflate the global economy in the big picture so. again has been very restrained but it's some point you know really have to. be has if you think some of our own are going to speak that's for sure but we have to intervene and it's just a big question now he's been very restrained and i think he's basically trying to avoid world war three because he knows that's what they're trying to bait him. and hearing from the dean henderson author and political commentator thank you. thank you now another development several areas on ukraine's eastern border have been hit by 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 the several key pieces of infrastructure would damaged one of the shells landed in front of a bus station although no vehicles with at the time but a t.v. crew from russia's channel five did get caught up in the shelling. of the position . we just look at do you see what's happening this is russian territory these are shells hitting russian territory and they're coming in from ukraine they were filming in russia's real stuff region near the border with ukraine when the shells came down the journalist said they heard at least nine explosions as they fled to safety our correspondent in ukraine maria for national who's witnessed similar shellings explains what it's like for people in the region 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 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 coffins out of five today were closed because there were no bodies but actually pieces and on the way back from these through this 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. well ukraine's president has proposed a time and a place for the next round of negotiations with representatives of the self-proclaimed republic's that's in a phone conversation with the e.u.

foreign policy chief catherine ashton but the head of the rome paul institute for peace and prosperity believes those 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 are 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 there showing that the jets and the military from here who are 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 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 such an unwise and i think we're seeing it yet again but. there's a come for you this hour ukraine is in dire energy straits sucking the very last of its gas from underground reservoirs out of moscow cut off supplies over the failed

priced go sheesh and last month. the next hundreds of palestinians have clashed with israeli police in east jerusalem following the funeral procession for a young palestinian teenager crowds of protesters threw rocks at officers injuring more than a dozen by law thora has responded with tear gas and stun grenades israeli security forces beefed up security in the area before the march began the thoughts of being killed in revenge for the murders of three jewish teenagers 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 are further fueled by airstrikes from both sides it's led israel to mobilize its troops in gaza on palestinian journalist who's covering the israeli palestinian. conflicts told us that the situation lies on a knife edge. what we are seeing right now is retaliating from both sides.

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 who says i'm going to feel the tension and you know a number of threats made by the israeli army officials against the 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 the reserve 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 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 what she does wait and see approach to the crisis in iraq could

change the u.s. already has more the 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 his country's increase the 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 on 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 cheap so long the border with iraq and middle east affairs journalist manuel oxon writer says 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've 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 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 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 to come tailor soldier spy german intelligence is arrested a man who allegedly hunted secret government over to the n.s.a. details on the scandal that shaking berlin secret agencies to the cool on the way also for you britain's queen names the u.k.'s biggest ever warship well the future of britain's nuclear defenses remains a question of scotland's independence referendum more after this short break. i'm out of the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any other big story that. there's a reason they don't want. more. now let's break the set.

economic down in the final. and the rest. will be. welcome but you're watching international next 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. . well this is the block's energy chief. he says a 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 destined for europe warning has already been voiced by gas prom and echoing those concerns russia's prime minister believes that ukraine's troubles could bellew into a full scale gas crisis as soon as this sort of to me to medvedev made the claim on his facebook page so why is there so much concern about why the gas crisis in europe well to make it a little more clear let's take a look at our map here and as you will see e.u. countries they receive their gas from russia via multiple pipelines the lion's

share of them though going through ukraine moscow has stressed that these supplies will continue as before but if the fears of a siphoning are realized well europe just won't get the gas that it needs this 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 spill even though they're being loaned the money to do so what will happen in the winter is there are european gas prices which are sort 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 hiker spills as a result. now 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. find out what punishment lies in store for dodgy job hunters info on our website and it's been more than a century since the idea of wireless energy transmission was first conceived but scientists are doing all they can to put a new spark into the idea and make it reality find out how r.t. dot com. also there are few high caliber pictures here of naval drills carried out by russia's fleet in the black sea. we've got this

and much more for you at r.t. dot com. right to see. you and i think. on our reporters. on. we were just speaking about military hardware and there is more on show as 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 aca carries being built at a cost of more than six billion pounds is expected to be her majesty's last official engagement in scotland for the referendum on the country's independence in

september. it's birth is taking place in scotland which is why the queen is christening big ukase new super carrier with whiskey 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 a split with scotland but 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 asst super aircraft carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters polly boyd r.t. . well earlier my colleague kevin owen spoke with two british military experts about the possible implications for the yukos 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. single unit three fourths 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. scotland would expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa i think when we talk about defense and independence 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 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. another news 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 that he'd been gathering information about the ongoing polya mentoring choir into n.s.a. activities in germany one of the whistleblowers he testified before the investigative committee on thursday and he's that current laws just aren't enough to curb must 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 database so that other like law enforcement or other agencies in the government can take advantage of it and use it illegal but fundamentally boils down to the respect for the rights of others and the rights to privacy and 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. if you can please do stay with us after the break we'll explore what it's like living on the breadline in the wills which is. have you ever 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 on 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 the suspects telephone to press for further charges against them i think this is 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 suspects 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 the 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.

we saw. the morris.
