any of those who have fled we're forced to move there. lisa's husband is still an climatologist let us know it was short. cuts was russia is the closest save haven for many ukrainian refugees the u.n. says a hundred thousand have crossed the border into russia the figure the country's federal migration says could be full times higher costs in the buddha could be dangerous fighting for numerous checkpoints as fears and there are reports of civilians being cool to in the crossfire or even targeted themselves here a car drives up to a border post was 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 our spinup to join them or raid with attract unnecessary attention. to continue the journey alone it used to be recruiting 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 separately or you know then the ukrainian russian border people here crossed day and night you can see there many of them running strong policy their model and this is one of the few places along this front here where there are no clashes but people are jittery war aid fighting could break out here as well at any moment but politically for the public much of it but the minute you get the most abortion. the border and the

youths were beaten by border police and by the army it's rare for these attacks to be filmed but it's not rare for them to happen it's in him has on its books hundreds of cases of the security forces using violence against palestinians but most were closed without any measures being taken against the soldiers or police involved these really police say the footage of tired 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 edge policy r t jerusalem. coming up shortly in the program catastrophe avoided two passenger planes normally apart a crush at barcelona airport as earth traffic control accidentally puts them on a collision course plus. there's the lazy man of europe forget those siesta loving spawn years or the thirty five hour working week french it's that

works british at 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 a german intelligence agent was allegedly sending hundreds of top secret documents straight to washington or to peter oliver brings us up to speed well it was all smiles and handshakes at the g. seven last month but flash forward to to get to today 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 is accused of being a double agent and have 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 with her 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 said it and nothing is enough that if this turns out to be true well it has to be the end truth is this is far from the first time america has seemingly being caught red handed snooping on one of its closest allies each time resulting in a similar ferocious barrage from mrs merkel tony trust is the foundation of peace and friendship between nations who have always enjoyed close cooperation with our american partners. frightening still fun sure you agree but after all that's come out from edward snowden's revelations that germany was one of the most spied on nations in the world that until america's private cell phone was booked and now it seems that america was running double agents and the german security service come pain as a calling for more action from their lead is what i can only tell is on social

media reaction people are absolutely insets i mean they already have like lost 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 scuse me is it is just a surprise that the u.s. agents are active saw it no it's not a surprise after all that's going on and being revealed about the shias size and scope of u.s. spying in germany what are they going to have to do before we see a real reaction from the german government. lots more news and views coming up after a short break here in r.t. international. choose your language. call if we can without any financial literacy skills and.

an unique is discovered find out about the dangers that poses online. day for bowing out a mystery for the emergency services after a three earth plane through the lodge's land on a remote river about go online to find out what happened. nearly released video has shown the moment two passenger planes almost collide at barcelona airports one risk crossing the runway on the ground as the other came into the boeing from russian airline air pulled out the last moment avoiding the argentinean or of us punish flight controllers insist the two would not have collided but e.v.a.'s next for christie aides told us that drug control was the plane. were in control can quite clearly be at fault because both of these had appliance or traffic control instruction at the time so the jet's 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. crowd on the ground to the argentinian jet should have been given instruction to hold short of the runway the two pilots in the jets and not noticed the argentinian jets crossing the runway it might have been that the utah jets would come down straight in. and out and to me in chat. that for centuries british workers have been at the coal face of the country's economic success. but these days everyone from lords popstars to celebrity chef say their country folk have grown lazy but how warranted it is that particular same to find out for us the great british workforce one that gave

birth to an industrial revolution helped build an empire and brought 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 the former conservative deputy prime minister lord has all time says he knows why but the veteran heavyweights great start to 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 issues as i'm sure enough on charm. that's what we want we have a lot of people climbing people that want to go work and you know which is

a fiction economy and overseas allowing us to bring in a lot of forwardness and employ actual fact you know i mean i want to be sure i am but it's a fact 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 actually 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 of a work life balance by that and that's necessarily a bad thing. but now i would say when they see what we do work quite hard just because europeans i always hear. but summer holidays they take time out also take time off and they are. out of. the office right now working so much time. and yet british work is 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 my work more attractive then we're going to get a lot more people a lot more in the workplace and we need to start this school level you know we need to go into schools and questions all work of fiction and fortunately you know. the consequence according to the international monetary fund this month is that slack staff 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 you.

must be good money in the plumbing business in london more international 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 about judges allegedly taking bribes security forces arrested a number of the demonstrators the rallies over this will corruption have continued for several days. to mexico where a deadly stampede of a concert involving thaw the sins of people caused the wall to collapse three have been confirmed dead and over a dozen injured officials say people rushed forward after shots were heard in the midst of the crowd. traffic jam thai ways and byways road rage can strike at any time in fact the roads are becoming so aggressive the authorities are stepping in as paul scott reports. unfortunately they sort of seeing is all too common in russia so common in fact will make his

have recently and for the first time introduced an aggressive driving bail and punishing those who use their vehicles to intimidate or harass other road users campaigners say it's a step in the right direction however they still have concerns because legislation is gradually getting tougher in russia but it foresman it just isn't in place we still have a long way to go before we learn to implement laws how do you control its enforcement how do you make sure it won't be abused as a gravy train by all the dirty cops at times central moscow resembles a car park rather than a road network stationary traffic from bumper to bumper as far as the eye can see even while speaking to dimitri examples of road rage where i think. there are many ways in which aggressive driving manifest itself driving too close to the car in front impatiently flashing your lights or sounding your horn and skipping a red light are just some examples and on occasions these displays of frustration

and to violence. so how common is aggressive driving we are some drivers caught in the moscow rush hour. road rage is all around men show no respect for female drivers fines this is what can help i can see no other way and i guess it's inevitable on the road it doesn't go as far as to killing somebody and that fights do take place i was a witness to one and sure men do it especially often can you recall something particularly unpleasant given the middle finger. how do you respond i do the same. so why do people become so aggressive behind the wheel limos and such people are probably prone to mood swings and on able to control themselves so road rage is just one manifestation of this disorder is just that the car gives you an illusion of a safe place. to be the decision to pass the aggressive driving bill says

authorities are keen to be seen to be addressing the issue but with a maximum fine of five thousand rubles around one hundred fifty dollars there's a concern they do tear and isn't strong enough being seems like this could be seen for some time to come police got ati muska. coming up here in our to international cross talk looks at the rise of islamists in iraq a few in the u.k. afshin rattansi is taking you underground. when people talk about human rights violations is involved some pro western protesters getting beaten up and responsible 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 it open and shut case of course everyone has the right to water especially detroit which is near a 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 decent employment and a corruption free city government back when people in 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. 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 see that. you could only see his facial expression you can see is. maybe cursed us or maybe he just. for forgiveness for. the. interview.

below and welcome to. drawing them out the rise of the islamic state in the middle east. realities in the region the west. and the arab world is coming to an end it would seem the arab spring has been replaced with. to be shaping of the middle east i'm joined by my guest michael barnett in

washington is a professor of international affairs at the george washington university as well as a member of the council on foreign relations also in washington we have got he is a professor at the near east south asia center for strategic studies and in orlando we crossed. scott rickard he is a former american intelligence linguist sorry gentlemen crosstalk rules in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want i very much encourage michel if i go to you first here in my introduction i talked about the arab spring that might have been that whole phenomenon was probably illusory considering what's happened since what happened in tunisia and in egypt but what do you think of the term jihadi summer when we think of isis well i think it's catchy and certainly it's a nice way of thinking about replacing our term of art which is the arab spring weather in fact we've gone from a spring to something that it's a dreary fall or winter i think is still to be determined there's no question though that.
