away from america's financial supremacy. is just gone ten am here in the russian capital you live with us on our d. international you're with me it's good to have you with us the deadly bombardment of lugansk ukraine's a second largest city in the east has put the metropolis on a war footing air raid sirens blare constantly to warn citizens of eminent attacks . this video appears to show the city coming under rocket fire appearing to rule out any intention by the authorities of targeting strikes following the attack we visited a pensioner whose house had been destroyed.

sure sure. you. know where you are in the world. the president of ukraine has now signed off on a military plan to take the east by force artie's where if it isn't the shell shocked the city of new ganske forests. we hear sounds of a tilley every day many times a day and we can also say that well both sides claim that they are not targeting and they will not target residential areas we can say that it often happens this is run in may cameraman now we have to work in flak jackets although we are in the city center just on monday a shell landed not far from where we are now just looks away from the city center heaton a car and reportedly the driver of this car who was killed at the scene the operation

leadership in kiev also claims that heavy a to remove adhesions will not be used in attacks on big cities searchers log on the internet which we can say that we hear airplanes over flying this area almost every day again and right eye witnesses say that they are behind last week attacks on two tiny villages twenty five kilometers north of the guard's granite least seven civilians were killed including a five year old boy the army leadership also claims that the cities of the nets can the gun school soon be besieged so that the anti government forces accumulate in inside will be sealed with no chances to get any support from anywhere outside this is why local foreigners are currently in height hundred forty four in their checkpoints and we also hear that several bridges in the area were damaged which could be their attempt to stop the ukrainian troops the last week has seen

a government forces take back control of several cities since then kids military has reportedly begun a full blown purge arresting local police and young men on mosques a video has also a marshal of a radical right to ukrainian deputies threatening a bound elders me man. you know you are. never actually yes i think i just talked about over the moon. all over clearly so i think you were god if that was good god. what was that much of this is. to get. a local resident told us how it feels to remain in slovyansk now the city's been taken by government forces but. they go from street to street from flight to flight and it's all about arrests they've arrested

the entire police force and drove all the personnel to god knows where we have no idea what's happening to them people who are supposedly supporting the anti-government movement are missing they don't answer the phone and no one knows what's going on with them you'd be putting your life in danger if you try to find that out. the images of destruction and suffering there are in shaky washington of the state department has again voice its total backing folk here days after a deadly bug reportedly accidental bombing of a village in eastern ukraine our correspondent got a chicken shit you can do was add to the latest state department briefing. you know we see all these horrible shots from villages towns that were shelled by the ukrainian air force and you hear the state department defended the strike saying all those killings are the russian separatists fault basically the shots that we saw from the village of congressional call last week could leave one speechless twelve civilians were killed including a five year old this however did not generate any strong feelings at the u.s.

state department these are just. pictures these are shots of civilians blown to pieces in their homes in their backyards in the village in eastern ukraine last week well what does the u.s. do to stop you from doing it i mean these are going to make sure to be in to be clear on the ground the reports that we've seen and the vast majority of people who are reporting from the ground report that the russian backed separatists are the ones who are not only in gauged in in violence and efforts to take over buildings and attack people and innocent civilians they have no place doing that in a country that's a sovereign country like ukraine the ukrainian security service itself says the shelling of congress could have been a pilot's mistake but the u.s. state department is staunchly defending king of no matter what mistakes the government if ukraine is defending the country if ukraine and i think they have

every right to do that as does the international community and these people have the right to live. well i think the people of ukraine have the right to live in peace and security without russian backed separatists attacking their homes and going into buildings and i think that's where the root cause of this is and we shouldn't we shouldn't forget that fact but last week another state department spokesperson doubted the sources of a u.n. report that talks about a sharp increase in the number of people fleeing ukraine into russia a spokesperson suggests that maybe they're going to russia to visit their grandmothers even though there are so many reports of. the horrors that people face and. why they really flee from eastern ukraine i ask about this today jen psaki treaded more cautiously on this than her colleague last week with the general impression is that the u.s. department is trying to downplay the humanitarian crisis in the east of ukraine. however side is running a live update section on ukraine with all the latest as it comes in but there's

also plenty more there for you including a look at who is to blame for the crisis in the east and why. they are one secretary-general has confirmed that in syria two cylinders are seized by government troops reportedly in a rebel held area contain deadly sarin gas. has more the united nations secretary general ban ki moon has indicated that cylinders that were reportedly found by syrian government troops in an area that was controlled by opposition fighters had inside the deadly sarin gas now the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons as well as the united nations have jointly been overseeing syria's destruction of its chemical weapons program they analyzed. of the cylinders and confirmed that it was indeed seven guess at the same time it's not be a clear way in the senate as were handed over by the damascus regime in

a statement issued it did confirm and i'm quoting here that it had found abandoned chemical weapons that did not belong to it at the same time it's also not clear whether the cylinders and indeed the content have in fact been destroyed now so we agreed to have its entire chemical weapons stockpile destroyed this was after a deal was hammered out by russia and the united states after hundreds of syrians were killed in a gas attack in a suburb in damascus and in that attack the date the seven gas was used on june the twenty third the last part of the transfer of chemical weapons out of syria took place so that phase of the transfer of weapons has now been completed. the blame game over who carried out the chemical assault has been the focus of heated debates for many months but they are dull postell on the massachusetts institute of technology the latest findings a cost lives on the real culprit the big question from my point of view is

actually executed this attack at the last. position of the united states has been that the syrian government executed the attack the russian government has stated that they believe the evidence shows that. that rebels. rebel group executed the attack this just five days. to suggest that the russia point of view is likely to be correct so it's quite a board. point of view of the political debate that's going on at the u.n. . the rampage of extremist same iraq isn't limited to brutal force coming up here on the program we'll report on how the terrorists use a whole all small of strategic tools from p.r.

to whistle blowing on the government as part of the big need to islam a caliphate to success. also still coming out washington they keep trying a billions of patients as reports suggest the cia recruited a german intelligence agent to spy it for america. the french finance minister is aiming to break the dominance of the us dollar urging the use of a variety of currencies full global payments this comes after america slapped a nine billion dollar fine on b.m.p. power bank for helping countries avoid sanctions investment broker and financial commentator peter schiff says the u.s. currency is far from the perfect global concious choice 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 a 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 of the united states doesn't share any of the characteristics that it had when the dollar became the reserve currency it's just a matter of time before it no longer functions as a reserve currency and i think the more we tag and eyes 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. latest target of the u.s. a punitive financial machine is germany's second largest bank commerzbank america is accusing the institution of also violently violating the sanction regime and now it faces a fine of at least five hundred million dollars america's a retaliatory measures like this of all states she sick ways to break with dollars dominant than a story easy task at all as a currency is used in some eighty five percent of the global exchange deals but some countries have found ways to shift away from the dollar and the biggest

example of it is of course the euro zone eighteen countries some of which are monk the world's academic powerhouses making transactions with each other completely avoiding the dollar last year china signed a deal with. the e.u. massive currency swap agreement which allows the country to exude the dollar from the equation when doing business with the block and on monday the brics countries agreed to form their own bank as a counterweight to the i.m.f. chair of the bruges group think tank robert oulds things us often resource to force to make others use the dollar. united states does defaming the dollar with of course its full military force now it's been seen on a number of occasions where countries that have been all queuing that they should move away from using the have been found themselves subject to united states sanctions and of course even in some cases military for. a great deal concerned about not just the why you medical bombs its economy its enormous deficit

which is now reaches seventeen trillion dollars. but of course the way that american foreign policy used to live around the world which some people do not want . coming up for you later on r t is a one shell a not enough for you well you can buy an anti alpine to me now i'm full very good will tell you all the details of the program. and the traditions and. that's all coming very shortly after this break. the stories we cover here and. other big story straight ahead while the same time there's a reason they don't want to. break the set

allegedly proving judges doctors engineers and those who have military and managerial skills the work force that isis is attempting to build will need to be paid of course not a huge problem for the sunni extremists who are virtually in control of iraq's largest oil refinery according to reports isis has already tried raising revenue through oil sales and lots of money's been spent on image building as well the militants have been releasing annual glossy assessment reports outlining statistics related to things like assassinations suicide missions bombings and geographic expansion the organized p.r. move aims to lure more investors and fighters it's a level of organization unprecedented for islamist militants in the region and while isis already claims to have an army of more than fifteen thousand loyalists the hottest group is reportedly recruiting and kidnapping children as young as ten

years old to fight for the islamic state in addition to educating employing recruiting policing and campaigning i says is also confronting the downfalls of governing a state dealing with your very own whistleblower according to vice news the extremist group has somebody working on the inside reportedly revealing classified information such as the identity of leaders and all of these factors combined paint a troubling picture of a threat hardly any. one anticipated port r.t. new york. let's take a look at what we have for you online the first busts on the any legal bitcoin trade is made in police in france have detained two suspects after raids in southern france and seize hundreds of planes find out why. and from earth to space nasa will equip google smartphones with three d.

vision and sensing to control the international space station all the details on this high tech story of a level for you now online. a contradiction to the trust between partners and america has described german u.s. relations if the latest spying allegations prove to be true thirty one year old man is under arrest in germany on suspicion for double spying the case is now under investigation of what the country's intelligence office is claiming the cia report of the mehlis to recruit intelligence officers they say all the evidence suggests he's been working for the u.s. for two years this latest scandal comes just months after the n.s.a. was caught red handed spying on the german tonsils mobile phone was a america's close allies are set up with such a friendship there was a glowing growing level of instant insecurity among among the leading officials in

the united states they don't seem to really trust their allies they seem to suspect that there may be discontent and the reality years with with so many of the leaks that we've recently seen so many countries that have historically worked with the united states are starting to wake up and say wait what are we getting out of this relationship it should be a strong reaction and the other hand i mean this is politics and i mean like. scuse me is it this is just the price that the u.s. agents are active so i know it's not a surprise. and tell it tell you an alpine village is being sold on e bay as located in the north through in amman region near a national park and various fourteen laughs with scenic views the prize a bargain despite the need for renovation the asking price for the entire village is two hundred forty five thousand euros so this might be a great amount for some political analysts paul or a foreigner believes such deals are the result of the european economic crisis this

is not the first case in italy actually of villages which are being sold but this is the first time actually that people leave in those houses and the decide to quit the place selling everything and try to change life so evidently it doesn't mean that it's an easy economic situation for them to see also suffer in france or suffers of similar situations where the number of customs for sale is incredibly high and they're relatively cheap agriculture has been subsidized but finally does that mean it's not allowing these people to really make their living out of it so with the cutting in the in the budgets this is reflecting of less of them less infrastructures less says and in perspective for these people the only thing to do is to sell and run away. well it turns out these days that the real estate market can throw up a lot of surprises snapping up this brick building here in manhattan will cost you

fifteen million dollars just compare it with the thirteenth century castle in ireland they can be yours less than a million ever island certainly has something more leverage to offer at a fraction of the price and in new york now if you prefer something more to the south there are also other castles up for grabs he has a selection of ads of from all fronts as well as i think we have italy and belgium on that list once again all on sale for less than fifteen million price tag to more international news in brief now israel has launched more strikes on the hamas controlled gaza injuring at least nine palestinians according to early reports it's one of a new operation protective and officials say it's a response to more than eighty rockets being fired across the border israel called up one thousand five hundred resumes in preparation for the offensive line

palestinian militants have lost their lives as a result of earlier is really a ride on gaza not a spike in violence has intensified in the past week after three kidnapped israeli teenagers were found it. then depend on the election committee in afghanistan has announced that he has collected more than fifty six percent of the votes in the presidential runoff his rival has already branded the preliminary results a coup against the people setting the country on a dangerous course of ethnic conflict afghanistan is already highly divided along tribal lines and it's feared any political aggravation could lead to a bloody stand off. whenever grounds are settle in a different country they often bring along with them their customs and cultures but in the u.k. recent demographic changes haven't as much affected the country in terms of new tradition but rather in bring him back old ones sour for three ports.

if young british people are in church these days well it could be because they live in one attendant actually anglican services has long been in decline religious leaders looking to come up with any number of simple meal plans to get worship is in but there is one small crumb of comfort for them and the latest figure is thanks to a changing demographics the fall in popularity is at the very least slowing because of the increase in the number of black were drawn to churches the increase in the rate of immigration and the increase in the number of a new type of church called fresh expressions because of those increases the rate of decline of attendance and membership in the church as a whole has slowed down considerably going to grant it is.

about it's not becoming a u. turn but it is simply not going to quite as fast as it was before. here in the heart of london this polish service packs it hundreds every sunday father adam says church is like a three way people to keep in touch with their own community and worship in their language i celebrate every sunday and a special for polish citizens by of course in. coming also the citizens understand. sometimes you cry in. different countries speaks the promise languages and. it's the number of. still growing. while the british me be beating. that religion as some might say economists to the

country actually paying the rent and i just the bounce. i see. coming up next on our breaking of the set with abby martin stay with us. when people talk about human rights violations is involved some pro western protesters 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 a 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 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 in 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 pain. to. kill himself.

there's a medium leave us so we leave that maybe. by the sea the ocean see you in the other your quality there's a good. shoes that no one is there still with the gas they deserve answers from it's all politics. r t. the.

what's up folks i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so last week the supreme court ruled but hobby lobby is exempt from writing four types of contraceptives guaranteed by obamacare the ruling claimant and that birth control equals abortion considering how i would be as in morning after pills are lumped into the exemption but despite the ridiculousness of the granting corporations religious rights supporters of the decision never spawn of that it's only a narrow ruling which only applies to those or types of birth control called into question right well it only took one day for that argument to fall apart to see just one day after the ruling the high court ordered that appeal courts really hear cases where companies have previously fought to deny coverage for any type of birth control still sound like a constricted ruling to you that's not all because as many people have pointed out granting corporations religious freedom is an extreme.
