with people's lives. in our common interest to stop the bloodshed there can be no more excuses to delay an immediate ceasefire should more and more people suffer in a fools to flee salute stream be concerned with the growing number of civilian casualties and damage infrastructure cities villages roads children's homes schools everything's being destroyed it reminds me of the great bombings in one nine hundred ninety nine but what's happening today in ukraine is far more serious i think it's time to. decide to start thinking about saving lives. now in retaken cities the military is arresting local police officers and all men aged between twenty five and thirty five that's according to local authorities now the following video emerged showing a ukrainian deputy questioning a man with a plastic bag on his head. threatens an elderly man with jail for his alleged links to anti-government protesters who call separatists i do you know you are.

never sure you have i think what i just i shall never know but. i do sure about it. all over so i think you were god if they're not got much of what you were getting was good got you. don't walk with god not to simplicity morgan my question was this. basically how about. tens of thousands of people are running from the horrors of war refugee camps nice stretch along the border with russia ready to take in people day and night reef a national follows one family's journey to safety they have packed only the basics mostly warm clothes to keep the team to the norm they were forced to leave their hometown of climatologists in and. we'll tell you when an entire family. it wasn't an easy decision.

and you post this in the studio because they know if you don't just if you would just say bugger feel stupid to believe that they do just to look at it would. feel if i posted to this because it is as well as feel right it's hard to say how many people had fled kramatorsk the city that's been the target of kiev's miniature gratian for months even when the on the raised ukrainian flag over the town the refugees kept coming is. that. this is where the fog of war looks. but i thought there's good thing you don't think. but it. was a. nice. local

nothing is it a why do. you want to come back. to the mob many of those who have fled were forced to leave their relatives behind . ministers husband is still unclear what is the what are short. cuts was russia is the closest safe haven for many ukrainian refugees the un says a hundred thousand have crossed the border into russia to figure the country's federal migration says could be full times higher costs in the buddha could be dangerous fighting for numerous checkpoints and spheres and there are reports of civilians being cool to in the crossfire or even targeted themselves here a car drives up to the border post it is forced to turn around on

a heavy fire. the family we spoke to had to change their plans after seeing just how hard it was even to get close to the checkpoint they decided to try their luck at another crossing but asked us not to join them worried with a tract unnecessary attention. would continue the journey alone it used to be a crane and checkpoint but as you can see now it's abandoned there is absolutely nobody here because crawls freely as you can see the ukrainian border guards left the russian side of the checkpoint seventy or northern at the ukrainian russian border people here crossed day and night as you can see there many of them running strong. violence in their motherland this is one of the few places along they see frontin where there are no clashes and that's people are jittery already fighting could break out here as well at any moment but with each other but the problem much

of it but the minute you leave the most abortion portion of. the border and the safety beyond it is now just steps away but just one or even if these people will be able to go home he's far from clear. grief notional in eastern ukraine. is also active on her twitter account where she's constantly publishing pictures on reports of what she's in country watched in eastern ukraine. right from the scene. of. the first strike. and i think that you're. on our reporter's twitter. and instagram. today in the. long. run.

a fresh round of us really are strikes in gaza has left nine palestinians soldiers dead the strikes also cause injuries to civilians in gaza with women and children among those being treated in a local hospital israel claims it was targeting terrorists sites the two sides have been exchanging fire for at least a week alan city in population has continued to protest against what they see as beyond warranted use of force against civilians in gaza and human rights activists say israeli police systematically ignores and violates the rights of minors in palestine in a recent incident a fifteen year old palestinian boy was severely beaten bias really officers he is a cousin of a local teen abducted and burned alive last week injuries don't fall asleep or met the young. but. tariq of the deal was the last to see his cousin muhammad a naive i said before he died ten minutes before he died he was like you're all right i was driving by i told him i said hi to him going to he didn't answer right

to back ten minutes later and then he got kidnapped and tonics truman did not in the. moments funeral he was arrested and brutally beaten up by israeli soldiers i was actually standing there watching the protest while i heard some people screaming from the left side of me i heard some people screaming was out of me. and my number two or three soldiers so there was our friends in front of me and i tried to jump right in and i follow my face and the soldiers make a mite mind me picking me up and a film of four point zero point two in the face and one on contours are you know we're going to monitor his mother says the soldier's intention was clear if you want to take somebody you have to beat them up like this. every one day maybe but not i mean i've never seen anybody to this extent the beating to kill you know it's

like attempted murder it's not the first time the i.d.f. has faced this kind of criticism we've documented many cases where palestinian youths were beaten by border police and by it's rare for these attacks to be filmed but it's not rare for them to happen this pseudonym has on its books hundreds of cases of the security forces using violence against on the stimulus but most with clues without any measures being taken against the soldiers or police involved these really police say the footage of terror being beaten up was heavily edited and altered and does not represent events accurately nonetheless tensions between the two sides continue to simmer and many feel it's only a matter of time before an already tense region will be pushed over the. jerusalem. coming up shortly top strophe avoided two passenger planes normally avoid a crash at barcelona airport as a controller accidentally puts them on

a collision course plus. just who is the lazy man of europe. these days but work shy brits least according to a new report we'll tell you more later in the program. germany is again having to deal with revelations that the u.s. has been spying on it and a german intelligence agent was allegedly sending hundreds of top secret documents straight to washington peter all of our picks up the story. well it was all smiles and handshakes at the g. seven last month but flash forward to today and well there's another spying scandal involving the u.s. operations here in germany this time well it involves a german security service employee who's been arrested and it's accused of being a double agent and has being supplying documents to to the united states now the reaction that we've seen from the german side has been well dave dave said

they're furious we've heard from angela merkel saying that she's surprised and stunned by the claims in the arrest of this security service employee the president of germany mr gao chris said that and nothing is enough that if this turns out to be true well it has to be the end but we've we've seen this before we've heard these type of words before and we haven't seen anything really done about it all of what's come out following edward snowden's revelations is showing that not only is germany one of the most spied on nations by the n.s.a. also that chancellor angela merkel's private cell phone had been hacked by u.s. security services and now it seems that they had a double agent within the german security services self what we've seen though from campaign is they say they want a real reaction from the german leaders what i can only tell is on social media reaction people are absolutely incensed i mean they already have like the last face

faith in their government and their elected officials it should be a strong reaction on the other hand i mean this is politics and i mean like not naive excuse me is it is not a surprise that the u.s. agents are actively saw you know it's not as well after all that's come out it's about the size and scope of n.s.a. operations here in germany the german people just want a real reaction from their leaders. now for more on the story we're joined live by peter schiff president of investment group euro pacific capital now this is just the latest in a series of scandals linking america's spying on germany why does berlin not react more strongly i don't know you know america is doing a lot to piss off its friends recently not only spying on them and believe me the americans don't like it any more than the germans but we're also finding major

european banks in switzerland in france in the u.k. for violating u.s. law but you know the germans maybe should be even more concerned with what happened to their gold than about the about the spy will just let's talk and why is europe so dependent economically on the states there and they're not. you know i think it's the other way around i think the united states is very dependent on the rest of the world it's just incumbent on the rest of the world to figure that out but the u.s. dollar is still functioning as the reserve currency and so the dollar is a part of a lot of transactions but there really is no reason for the dollar to be at the center of these transactions because the dollar shouldn't be the reserve currency maybe at one time when we were the world's largest exporter as far as the biggest trade surpluses we had a high savings rate the dollar was backed by gold at one time maybe the dollar

deserved to be the reserve currency but certainly those conditions have changed dramatically over time the united states doesn't share any of the characteristics that it had when the dollar became the reserve currency just a matter of time before it no longer functions as a reserve currency and i think the more we antagonize the rest of the world with the spying or with these huge fines on foreign banks the quicker that process is going to be to unravel well if germany did this side say to do something about america spying activities what could it actually achieve. well i mean i don't know what it is cheese but certainly i think what in boulder is the united states to act in this way is this feeling of invincibility are superior already and i think it's going to be very humbling when the truth comes out when america is going to be forced to face what has happened to this country we've been

living beyond our means we've been living based on a fantasy not based on reality and the world is certainly hoping hoping to preserve that fantasy by accumulating u.s. dollars by continuing to loan us more money if the world wasn't loaning us so much money we couldn't afford to spy on anybody even the american citizens and you know at speaking as an american citizen that would be an improvement but i tell you what germany on the u.s. the our allies after all why should germany then be afraid that they're being spied on well look i mean americans are afraid that they're being spied on too i mean nobody wants people spying on them you know the government claims that well you know this is all to keep us safe this is all that protect us from terrorists but you know i don't trust government and you know if the if the germans don't trust our government i don't trust them either you always have abuse of power you want to limit government power and i think what the u.s.

government is doing with respect to american citizens is not only immoral but on constitutional and again you know welcome to the club of it the germans are upset about our government spying on and they probably have a right to be but at least if they're spying on the germans maybe they could make an argument that they're you know that might that might be more related to a potential terrorist threat than spying on americans peter schiff president of investment house euro pacific capital we appreciate your time today stay with us for more news after a short break here in r.t. international. this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something as simple as people playing soccer you can see individual players and you can even see the ball. you can only see his facial expression you can see is

a mouth open and crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe he asked. for forgiveness for. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured. you're welcome back to the program the former georgian president eduard

shevardnadze has passed away aged eighty six aside from being george's leader until the rose revolution in two thousand and three he was also the last foreign minister of the u.s.s.r. in opposition he actively worked to bring down the berlin wall and put an end to the cold war here's what he wants said about those events their goals moved to i'm proud of those along with another figures i devoted all my life to stop the cold war and bring peace to the world. you can find more on the life and political legacy of eduard shevardnadze on our website dot com also with her on the edge of nuclear disaster again the cooling system and its crippled fukushima nuclear plant is switched off after a new leak is discovered find out about the dangers it poses online. also a sad day for boeing and a mystery for the emergency services after three earth plane fuselages land on

a remote riverbank go online to find out what happened. nearly released video has shown the moment two possums airplanes almost collide at barcelona earth port now one was crossing the runway on the ground as the other came into the boeing from russian airline pulls up at the last minute avoiding the argentinian herbalists spanish flight controllers insist the two would not have collided nation expert crissy aides told us the growing control was to blame. uncontrolled can quite clearly be at full speed girls and both of these had appliance traffic control instruction at the time so the jets landing would have been listening to the. traffic controller giving him instruction and the argentinean jets would probably have been listening to ground control giving him instructions on what to do and quite frankly the. takeoff on the ground the

argentinian should have been given instruction to hold short of the runway the two pilots in the jets not noticed the continuing jets crossing the runway it might have been the jet come down straight towards. that and i mean. for centuries british workers have been at the coal face of the country's ethanol mixed success but these days everyone from lourdes popstars to celebrity chef say their countrymen have drawn lazy so fair is that plain poly pork or fine died. the great british work force one that gave birth to an industrial revolution helped build an empire the world the railways the telephone the jet engine and the t.v. brits may insist they still work their fingers to the bone but that actually found

to be less productive than in countries like the us germany and even those old rivals france and former conservative deputy prime minister lord has all time says he knows why the veteran heavyweights brits don't get up early enough they aren't ambitious enough and they simply don't work hard enough tough as it was to steel myself from an afternoon down the pop i bucked myself up to ask the successful entrepreneur whether he agrees that brits are just lazy unfortunately you know we have situations where they come in for interviews they've got no if you just churn off one charm the scruffy that's what we want we have a lot of people climbing beneficial we would want to go work and you know which is a friction economy overseas allowing us to bring in a lot of forwardness and employ i mean actual fact you know i mean i want to be sure i am but part about ten percent of charlie's two hundred staff and now foreign

and that figure is likely to grow because he says they simply pull their weight but try telling that to london's office workers who are quite frankly insulted but a cheat so you don't think brits are lazy absolutely no more not the working for example they work too many hours maybe compared to the coaches we have more the work life balance by don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. but no i wouldn't say we're lazy but we do work quite hard just because europeans i was here have pretty low summer holidays and they take time out also take time off in the office to me yeah it was a lot of them maybe in the office right now where. it's lunchtime. and yet british workers produce about a bit less for every hour worked than any of the g seven nation even celebrity employees like madonna accused the brits of indolence top chef jamie oliver has

said that his restaurants would close if they went to any european immigrants to work in them charlie mullins the work ethic starts at school i believe if we can might work more attractive. we're going to get a lot more people a lot more breaks in the workplace and we need to start this school level you know we need to go into schools. fortunately you know. the consequence according to the international monetary fund this month is that slack star pose a major risk to britain's future economic health but if that's not enough to get brits off the couch perhaps charlie's an example of just how far a good old fashioned british heart can get. from the u.k. to more world news in brief police in kuwait fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who are demanding the release of a former opposition politician he was detained on suspicion of insulting the

judiciary after revealing documents of a judge's allegedly taking bribes security forces arrested a number of the demonstrators the rallies over judicial corruption have continued for several days. to mexico where a deadly stampede of a concert involving thought of people caused the wall to collapse three have been confirmed dead and over a dozen were injured officials say people rushed forward after shots were heard in the midst of the crowd. whether the radical militants from the so-called islamic state group have reportedly expelled sixty thousand people from their homes in eastern syria that you have a sub managed to take over large parts of syria and iraq in territory and installed in a slow. caliphate on the occupied lands the reports radicals are demolishing shrines in northern iraq we see as the rise of extremist movements in the middle east is the subject of today's edition of cross talk you can watch the full show a little later today. the idea that somehow what is resulted in the regime is

somehow either by design or by desire on the part of the west i think is actually a bit of a stretch don't tell me that this is not a western calculated move there is tons of equipment going into this area and it's not coming from russia it's not coming from china it counts coming from the west united states does not have an interest in they can fly in sick that underwater aling. and the critics said obama are to syria if it. doesn't then thought of ian. fiery cross talk later today but up next here in r t international a controversial us drone wars are again in the spotlight stay with us.

when people talk about human rights violations you should involve some pro western protestors getting beaten up and the response with mainstream media is usually to bomb somebody somewhere so good thing they haven't picked up a story from detroit that the u.n. is calling a human rights violation residents of the motor city or well sadly the former motor city who are hundred fifty dollars or more behind on their water bills are getting their water shut off completely the detroit water and sewage department is five billion dollars in debt and that is the justification to crack down on deadbeats on the surface the seems like an open and shut case of course everyone has the right to water especially detroit which is near huge bodies of fresh water that other cities can only dream of but on the other hand if the poor don't pay for water then us taxpayers will be paying for it for them and that's not fair i think this is not so much a case of a right to water but a right to disemployment and a corruption free city government back when people detroit had good salaries and a government that wasn't flagrantly corrupt they would have any problems paying for their water bills but that's just my opinion.

america's military might and its foreign policy exist separately from one another the us is a formidable military power but sadly its weak foreign policy was that is why i'm not inclined to suspect the obama administration of pursuing some secret plan directed against iran. my name is brandon bryant i'm twenty seven year old better in born here born in the zoo. i was very much an introvert growing up single mother two sisters. of female cousins. so i was pretty much alone all the time and i grew up with books.
