watching from in the world welcome to moscow and to r.t. international i mean o'neill government artillery has hit several apartment blocks in the eastern ukrainian city of accounts at least one person was killed in the latest assault kiev had promised not to target residential areas but pictures from the scene suggest has not been kept. they don't have the stomach school they didn't start that way that you want to do it because. the love of the is. that it is. a little good. looker. now as well as being shelled two major cities

in the east are facing a blockade ordered by president porta shank in order to stop the movement of government forces you can see what altered recently here self defense fighters pulled from this area to the city of donetsk daryn here which is a population of around one million people and up here is lugansk up to five hundred thousand people live here both cities have rebelled against kiev raef a national brings us more from this area lugansk. the operational leadership in kiev announced that the cities of the nets and lugansk will be besieged so that the anti-government forces will be sealed inside without any chance to get any support from anywhere outside and all that with continuing attacks and of course fears a rise in right now that the consequences of this besieged could be more dramatic we here to rehear every day and many times a day we also know that multiple rocket launcher known as good art or ok it was also used here both sides claim that they are not targeting and they will not

target the residential areas but we have to tell that it happens and this is why me and my cameraman although we are now in the city center we have to work in flak jackets on monday and shell landed just a few blocks away from where we are now he's in a car and reportedly the driver died at the scene and today is a minibus also was hit in the city center and reportedly two people were killed as well while the army strategy is obviously to target those who they claim a terrorist and separatists it is clear that ordinary civilians become victims very often. sure. remove. you could deal with it what is a school and if you believe true or would you like. well we can say that the anti-government forces are now in high alert preparing for

this besieged but local residents are also getting closer to something that could be described already as panic this is the situation here on the ground right now and fears are that it could even deteriorate reef notion or from lugansk we asked marcus papadopoulos editor of the politics first web magazine weather here has the capabilities to tick such a major city like to ask. that all depends on where k.f. has the resources to take on a city as a large as donetsk is and what we know is that they certainly have no moral compunction in killing hundreds of ukrainian civilians for mortars for tank shells frew airstrikes we're talking about civilians including women and children dying on a daily basis being maimed on a daily basis but the ukrainians will keep on doing that because they are backed by the americans principally also the europeans but america is a superpower and they have backed by them and now they can claim they have

a legitimate president they can go for an all out victory in the east starting with donetsk but they've got to now face another bout so and that will be quite a battle so win the hearts and minds of the people they've been killing and injuring on a daily basis over the past three months some of the fiercest battles have been for control of various strategic points the following video was reportedly filmed at a contested border checkpoint. not you loesch. and. i. shall lie but i see it was a much he. easy easy easy easy. the two sides have fought over this checkpoint for more than

a month and this is what it looked like after the battle you can clearly see the area is deserted and according to a conversation heard on the video the are lying area is heavy with snipers. well close retaken by the army after anti-government fighters left the city on a route a deputy known for his at bullying tactics soon made an appearance demanding the head of the local administration admit to being a traitor yes most of. their homes were more on the growing blogs of all this regarding drug abuse in the borders this is what he says you join or we. do you know the list is an issue there is an issue we spoke on the matter when you go there for the odd new law up there what i've done to you so you have walked over to me although i don't know how in the course you both receive. you talk with someone you know they're not going to sort of going to the ground floor

shoot you are usually country. songs were all who were shooting up with the floor. efficient who was paraded had stayed in the city to restore water and power which had been damaged during months of shelling he tried to reason with the m.p. refusing to admit to being a coward or a traitor but finally came in and signed a confession. or. moving on our israel is reportedly readying for a ground invasion of gaza what the launch of a large scale offensive against the region at least fourteen palestinians have been killed dozens including children wounded in the attacks are league states now want an urgent meeting of the u.n. security council paula slayer reports from the israeli palestinian border for us while forty thousand israeli reserve soldiers have been called out but this comes as the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu instructs the i.d.f. to prepare for a possible ground offensive into gaza now no confirmation as to if or when this

will happen but certainly the need on the ground is that it could possibly happen in the coming few hours the only thing we've heard from netanyahu is a warning to his soldiers to prepare for a long operation for the eighty palestinians have been injured a number of them have been killed in what israel says are targeted assassinations but as is always the case there are women and children and innocent people who get killed in these strikes i'm standing on the israel gaza border which as you can imagine is very tense behind me is gaza and almost every fifteen twenty minutes there is a war plane dropping its deadly cargo there have also been israeli helicopters dropping leaflets urging residents of gaza to come forward and reveal the hiding places of militants firing these rockets not cairo is acting as a mediator but so far with very little success hamas is saying that it will not stop with its rocket barrages until israel stops with its is strikes and at this

stage it seems highly unlikely that either is going to do that. the ministry of information in gaza has dubbed is. israel's actions irresponsible seeing the result in innocent deaths right now move to the children people innocent supply says we had a medical. supplies city or holy family only of them were killed if three of them children this is a really. disgusting operation against humanity in gaza with no any sense of responsibility towards even a humanitarian crisis and disasters in gaza strip and a growing this and just right now we have a big as strike and until this moment is second by second there is aggressions woke strikes airstrikes sorry and talking to the people i knew at and in places without even big noise saying the places of the people living.

indeed israel's regular operations and gals in the past inevitably led to civilian casualties only a year after the idea pulled its troops from the region operation summer rains was launched after an israeli soldier was kidnapped by hamas the so-called militant action claimed the lives of more than one hundred civilians two thousand and eight saw the deadliest offensive in gaza yet it was described as a must occur in the hour of world killing almost a thousand resulting in a humanitarian crisis. pillar of the fence is one of the most recent operations which began with the killing of the hamas leader led to numerous civilian deaths the number of those killed and wounded in recent days is already timing over this really military refuses to accept their structure to blame for civilian casualties when a culture ever talked to their spokesperson. this is an unfortunate situation israel had no intention no wish to go and attack gaza but hamas put us in this

corner where you know all civilians are unable to move their children today. could not be allowed to go to kindergarten children could not go to summer camp they had to stay in the safe room that's an acceptable we're not willing to let this go and that's why the military has been challenged to protect the state of israel isn't there a better perhaps more peaceful way because obviously what events and so far is not working all it does is resulting in more casualties for palestine hamas is responsible hamas is accountable we are responsible for safeguarding the state of israel that is our mission and that is what we will do. conflict has provoked international reaction both germany and france call for violence and confrontation to be avoided you can get the latest updates from our correspondent paula slayer she tweets from the israeli palestinian porter right now. france's

finance minister has called for a republican saying of world currencies now he wants a move away from the dominance of the u.s. dollar after america forced the b.n.p. parra bus to and nine billion dollar fine for not abiding by various u.s. imposed sanctions and french the economist here agrees washington senate dangerous precedent with its actions actual is a problem is not the amount of money is that the french bank east to pay to the u.s. government what is actually at stake is the possibility for us nonresident for people and even to the united states to use the u.s. dollar is a problem it is a risk this threat to be fine all too common in. the u.s. to wriggle asian then everybody will be at risk if it uses the u.s. dollar for any transactions or world. assize offers financial institutions little

protection from the u.s. commerce bank a second largest bank in germany is also facing possible fines for allegedly ignoring sanctions put in place by washington the very minimum penalty would be half a billion dollars america's dominance of global markets is underwritten by the dollar being the most treated currency but countries around the world are making steps to move away from the green bank a euro zone for example has its own powerful tool euro which is shared by more than what around three hundred twenty five million people last year the u.n. signed a massive currency swap agreement with china allowing the dollar to be excluded from future deals on monday brics countries said they would form bank with up to one hundred billion dollars in reserves to compete with the i.m.f. robert oulds chair of the bruges group think tank believes changes are afoot. there's a lot of concern about the dollar as the current sort of major global reserve

currency well emerging economies are pretty much on happy with american domination of setting the price of goods such as oil in dollars relation of the common sea is of course one concern that they have but the united states does defend the dollar with of course its full military force and that's been seen on a number of occasions where countries that have been arguing that they should move away from using the dollar then found themselves subject to united states sanctions and of course even in some cases military force in recent history america has a massive trade deficit and if it wasn't for the demand for dollars created by its positions being the global reserve currency america would sink economically. still to come this hour america snatches a russian citizen and the mole deaves on suspicion of parking condemns it as a defunct still kidnapping and we'll look at the latest sore point in relations between russia and america and also. britain struggles to stem the flow of

extremists returning from syria as two men arrested a london airport admits a plumbing terrorist attacks and more coming up in a few moments time. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here are not going on here in iraq some are big story extreme headlines the same time there's a reason they don't want and do not. want to raise that we don't think. now let's break the set. told me my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports but i'm likely to push the know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point someone to say. the security of a car is on the docket no. thank you no more weasel words.

when you say to direct question the prepared for a change when you plunge be ready for a. criminal off speech and little down the freedom to question. your mail surveilling the whole world. welcome back to the program two british men who went to syria to fight alongside jarvis pleaded guilty to planning terrorist attacks both were arrested at a london airport by the country a terrorist unit brings us more mohammad ahmed and use of spent eight months in syria last year and now the twenty two year olds are british citizens originally from birmingham but they learned about the conflict in syria they seemingly became

radicalized online and ended up contacting islamic extremists in order to join a terrorist group that was fighting to talk pull the government of bashar al assad in syria live now admitted to preparing to carry out acts of terrorism but this isn't the only case of brits flying out to syria just two days ago a british muslim who says that he's fighting for isis in syria and vowed to wage a holy war in the u.k. abu right he has these tweeted that downing street would be a base for muslims and the trafalgar square is where public executions would take place already something like five hundred people have traveled out to syria and iraq from the u.k. and the overriding concern for anti terror police here is that they could return to britain and commit acts of violence here. massud shar from that london based

islamic human rights commission says the number of radicals in the u.k. is growing because of its involvement in the syrian crisis we are all the worried. i may have been told that these people are going to come back and create problems here but the reality is that these people are creating problems in syria which british government is supporting the opposition and you know where they need these people getting their arms and the fact that those going as a result to do with the way that the british government is being sort of their ring in one minute supporting the opposition next minute calling them terrorists and it was only two months ago that isis was identified as the clear as a terrorist organization by the british government while this. may have killing it's been going on for a very long time i think there is a lot of answering by the british government over this and here's

a look at what we have online few fracking send shock waves across parts of the us literally scientists find that children lying in response both for hundreds of earthquakes in the state of oklahoma and it's getting worse as you can find out in our teeth dot com also they're. trying control to wrobel notes google smartphones for three d. fish and sensors could soon be able to control robots on the international space station all the details as always just a click away for you. right the sea. search string. and i would think that your. recorders. instrument. would be in the.

the u.s. has arrested a russian citizen solution of on suspicion of cyber fraud being unfair of personal information of u.s. citizens it's a move that's provoked fury in moscow's foreign ministry not least because he's the son of a russian them pay or he's going to cheat you can brings us the latest the u.s. secret service has captured the russian citizen in the multi send shipped him to a u.s. base in guam where he was formally arrested now the u.s. justice department did not elaborate on the circumstances of mr city is no arrest neither have u.s. officials notified russian authorities about the grounds on which this thirty year old man was snatched in the mall deaves and sent to the guam overnight moscow qualify so there's no ifs detention as kidnapping so there's no spa there who happens to be a russian state duma deputy lawmaker thinks it might be a scheme to trade his son for edward snowden his family also says what are most of his you know of still doesn't have a lawyer moscow also criticizes the government of the mole defs for letting the

u.s. secret service smuggle people out of their country like that while the mall deaves is not the only place where the u.s. was allowed to do that thailand allowed the u.s. to take hold of victim to the russian arms dealer in the capital of liberia u.s. forces arrested pilot constantin your schrenker four years ago to charge him with drug trafficking russians are not the only ones the u.s. is chasing around the world citizens of other countries became subject to these kinds of snap extraditions in some cases they were captured just based on suspicion and later their cases fell apart like that of khalid to el masri a german citizen who was snatched in macedonia and sent to a cia black sites in afghanistan where he was tortured and the u.s. government later admitted it was a mistake and released him a similar thing happened to a house on nasir an egyptian cleric who was smuggled from italy to be released later so this is a recurring situation where the u.s.

captures citizens of different countries without properly notifying their governments. more headlines from around the world. a taliban suicide attack in eastern afghanistan has killed four nato soldiers nearby based ten civilians and two policemen are also among the casualties the assault came soon after the independent election committee announced ashraf ghani had won a presidential runoff his rival branded the result a coup against the people insisting the process was rigged. al-qaeda linked militants from the al shabaab group attacked the presidential palace in somalia's capital militants who reportedly captured part of the building have now been removed by security forces the president was not there at the time there have been regular attacks in the city since twenty eleven with four people dying in a car bombing on saturday. powerful typhoon has bothered japan's okinawa island chain causing waves on drenching rain up to five hundred thousand people being told

to seek shelter and least one person has been killed the storm caused massive power outages forced schools to close on triggered flight cancellations warnings of potential flooding and heavy downpours have also been issued for japan's western mainland. and the british chief executive of a partner company has been detained by brazilian police as part of an investigation into illegal to could see in this last week more than ten other people were detained on the queues that belonging to an international gang which resells world cup tickets police say the gang could have operated up to four tournaments making almost one hundred million dollars in the process. the n.s.a. has been spying on its own people its friends and even on entire nations recording every phone call made in the bahamas. missile final thing to do with me so we.

were building the whole world in the pan and journalist nimrod came and went to find out what people on the government think about being watched by washington and what they plan to do about it watch the first part of his journey to the sunny islands of the bahamas tomorrow right here on our to international. an entire italian alpine village is being sold on e bay head to toe kitted near a national park and boasts fourteen loss with scenic few just need of a little renovation but the asking price for the entire village is a bargain basement two hundred forty five thousand euro although political analysts paul over phone a believes this is just another sign of economic decay this is not the first case you need to be 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 easy economics for them to see also suffer in front of similar situations

where the number of castles for sale is incredibly high and they're relatively cheap culture has been subsidized but finally. i mean this is not allowing these people to really make their living out of it so in the in the budgets this is reflecting the lists of infrastructures. and in perspective for these people the only thing to do is to sell and run away. and use this hour an hour to international but up next do stay with us because i'll be martin's breaking not set again.

when people talk about human rights violations it involves 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 un is calling a human rights violation residents of the motor city are 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 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 an 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 could 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 placement 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 pain.

what's up folks i'm having 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 claimed the mandate violated the corporation's religious beliefs since the court sided with the false assumption that birth control equals abortion considering how i would be morning after pills are lumped into the exemption but despite the ridiculousness of the granting corporations religious rights supporters of the decision never spun a bit 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 extremely dangerous precedent so it carpenter of the nation put as business owners now have a new basis for trying to evade anti-discrimination laws in their responsibilities to their employees religious liberty is already the rallying cry for conservatives looking for a legal way to discriminate against americans and further evidence of the why the ability of the ruling lawyers have filed motions on behalf of get the detainees asking officials to allow their clients to take part communal prayer during. ramadan citing you guessed it. the ruling i mean if corporations are protected by the religious freedom restoration act surely their client is actually human beings should be to while this move by get a lawyer is actually positive it just goes to show you how the interpretation of hobby lobby is now totally up for grabs.
