given orders to surround the biggest cities in the east of those will be a rather and as well as the new gods not into government forces currently control both of them the extent of their influence is marked right here on this map we have for you in that dark orange number if an off night is an advance for us and reports on how the city is taking to life under siege. if we don't leave hotel without bullet proof jackets both sides made you they will not talk presidential areas but three things are going different. shells land in the city center the gun. is the interest for life. now already but citizens here have little protection against mortar rounds and those who didn't leave constant danger. over the last three days the cities residential areas have been hate each time we

civilian casualties. this is the scene of the most recent attack we saw at least two craters on the road there and there and as you can see this building was damaged well it used to be one of the city's banks and it could barely be a target of whoever is behind this attack so what is the reason bus station it's one look away from here but most importantly there is one of three major headquarters bases of self defense forces here in the guns and experts say that that was the target but it's not less than one kilometer away from where we are now. as we're filming we hear about another shelling locals say it was a miracle that no one got hurt. by her just going onto the balcony and then i heard glass breaking and i realized we are being attacked. you were in the balcony and you survived on my guard and then i want to do where to

hide where they're going to fire from next time you go to invite us to your teas to be his home broken glass litter is the floor. or the windows and we go to these two room apartment have been shattered. i just got up and opened up the window and then it came this also happened on tuesday nine story apartment building on the outskirts of the city of the gods what was that mistake no one can say for sure both sides blame the other for the violence but whoever is responsible the violence is real and fear is spreading lugansk the second largest city in is to ukraine eighty used to be home to more than four hundred thousand people these days you can see it looks like a ghost town it's not just shops banks and restaurants that have closed their doors . post offices to have shot so has the local police office

a group of men gathers next to a bank in the center they are all workers lining to take out cash on payday they don't trust the banks not keen to speak to journalists either. i think the people do not want to take their angry nervous it's understandable. as the song goes down a to refire intensifies. evening is the most difficult time of the day people those who didn't flee the city preferred not to go outside to stay at home with their families friends would also better hurry out back to hotel tomorrow will be new day a new fight notional party is to ukraine. by various cars and see posting updates on what's happening in lugansk on her twitter feed to feel free to follow her as she documents life and see. fred the red cross spokesman for

europe and central asia david pia my cat told us his organization has deployed to floyd to help with the crisis hit in the east of ukraine in eastern ukraine and the reason of course is needed to regarding the wanted her sons and that's what their international committee of the red cross has deployed. systems for malls are thirty hospitals in the regions of donetsk and lugansk to provide the basic necessary for one selves and one due to be awesome we are walking across leo's reveries of russian red cross. stuff where you know america deployed before a major comes people from accra and you know. maybe you're in some people's burg. the ukrainian crisis and its impact. on relations between the east and the west are the theme of today's cross talk with hospital of l. later today take a sneak peek. it's a lot of beginning a b.

and but rather the end of the beginning as ukraine's civil war deepens so does the divide this invented crisis the europeans and russian secret diplomatic resolution what washington calls for more violence. at least eight young children are among those killed in the large scale israeli military operation targeting gaza the death toll is continuing to rise and now stands at about thirty civilians as israel ramps up its offensive with warplanes and rockets bombing residential areas the idea others still claims that it only targets hamas militants but videos that keeps emerging from the ground show a different picture archies policy of course. in the past twenty four hours a number of palestinians have been killed including civilians teenage boys were among those who were killed when the israelis targeted a house belonging to a hamas militant in harvey yunus in the gaza strip in a separate incident

a civilians were also killed when the israelis hit a car in which militants were traveling inside and according to the israelis they say that they have hit two hundred and seventy targets they said that this is essentially the military infrastructure of her mast and other militant groups in the gaza strip that it is hoping and aiming to destroy but of course as is always the case it is civilians who are caught in the crossfire we have heard from how much that israel stop with this operation or else they are saying that they will expand their air strikes now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has responded by saying that israel will continue for as long as hamas continues to rain rockets down on southern israel and target israeli civilians what is particularly worrying for the israelis is that rockets have not been aimed at the cities of jerusalem and tel aviv and that is why there is the suspicion in israeli circles that these are rockets that have not been made by him us but which it has

acquired from elsewhere until now the iron dome anti-missile system has managed to successfully intercept rockets aimed for big cities other rockets have exploded in open fields now forty thousand israeli reserve troops have been called up the commander in chief of the israeli army has said that they will continue with their air strikes from both the sea and the sky over gaza to quote him to make hamas sorry earlier we spoke to the israeli defense forces spokesperson who says hamas is to blame for everything on the ground and israel is simply protecting its land and people. fortunate situation israel had no intention no wish to go and attack gaza but hamas terrorists in this corner. where you know all civilians are unable to kill children today. could not be allowed to go to kindergarten children could not go to see they had to stay in the safe return excepted we're not willing to let

this go and that's why the military is being challenged to protect the state of israel 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 well it's true that every country has adjusted to defend its population from all the external threats especially when they're in danger. but official figures show that over the past six years of military operations in gaza the number of israelis killed doesn't come anywhere near the number of palestinian deaths which are about twenty five times higher than the most vulnerable are also coming under fire according to local reports as many as eight children were killed in the first three days of the operation the alarming data from the institute for middle east understanding put the total number of deaths of miners at more than one thousand since the turn of the millennium now the ministry of information in gaza is outraged by israel's action. right now it's moved to the children of people it is

since a place is we had a medical. supplies city whole family only of them were killed if three of them children this is a real. disgusting operation against humanity in gaza until this moment a second by second there is aggressions woke strikes airstrikes sorry and talking to the people i knew where any places without even a very good noise in the places of the people living. by journalists to glenn greenwald who published edward snowden's revelations has produced a new eyeopening report proving the u.s. has been monitoring the e-mails on five prominent and politically active muslim americans there's no evidence they were in any way connected to terrorists lets

them let's get more on this of proxies put all of us right now which is has a lot of pieces so yet more revelations they almost seem to be nonstop in really what's the latest to come out of these latest revelations. well what we're seeing here in berlin is say group of whistleblowers and activists gathering for a conference and they going to have plenty to talk about these latest revelations that have been published by glenn greenwald show that there was a whole host of muslim americans that were being targeted by the n.s.a. an f.b.i. and having their e-mails monitored now out of those five of them are incredibly high profile individuals we're talking about people like feisal gill who had been a candidate for political office and in fact held a quite senior position within the homeland security department also the head of of the largest muslim civil rights organization in america also other activists law is

that it's defended. terror suspects so these five who have being named are incredibly incredibly high profile individuals but. simply shouldn't have been allowed to have been done the system which was used to monitor these e-mails is only designed for terrorist suspects and to try and weasel out. of foreign spies now there's no evidence that any of these people have been involved in those activities and in fact under their first amendment rights as living in the united states that it shouldn't have been allowed whatsoever no this was a leak that came from the documents that edward snowden provided it's being published by glenn greenwald he did tease us in may of this year that we could see some kind of new revelations coming out he had cleared the cleared with these five that he could use their names before you before you publish them but it does just seem like one thing after another we're now over your all the since the first leaks

from edward snowden we're just seeing more and more just last week the latest thing from here in germany was this this perhaps a was a double agent being operated by the united states were. i think within the german security services so it is relentlessly about information coming out about just how much spying has been going on peter just when you think that they've done enough more information keeps coming out that they've done even more with peter oliver they think very much for giving us that update by generating media has been beside itself with anger about repeated revelations of u.s. surveillance on its european allies barra's of washington stories may have followed each scandal but every following bombshell has shown america failing to deliver on its promises now the consequences of such an approach are already being felt among the german public at least according to a recent survey by the spiegel magazine the poll has showed more than the house of

other countries citizen and now want to see greater distance less dependency on washington which of course is supposed to be berlin's close ally. a ride to morning is coming your way after the show break this is our international. briefing the world. on marriage in the financial world. moments i mean i'm going to take you know to be true. in life there are now over. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's

all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks of the art p. interview intriguing story to tell you. the. arabic to find out more visit arabic don't call. the. economic downturn the find out. the. guy and the rest of life doing the make believe if we. welcome back the u.s. secret service has refused to name the legal grounds for something moscow is

calling a defector abduction russian citizen romance and the aznavour was a grab by american agents in the maldives when i came stealing personal information i'm hiking. and it's reports. that a monsoon is no family vacation in the moldy came to an abrupt end when the u.s. secret service captured him before whisking him off to a u.s. base in guam the u.s. government charged the russian citizen with hacking into retail computer systems and installing malicious software to steal credit card numbers the u.s. however had little to say about the circumstances of his arrest there were accusations made at the department of justice case certainly there was no kidnapping involved i'm not sure maybe kidnapping is a bit too strong but if it is in. the capital. trying to get to russia and somehow they're spirited away and they end up in. charge with

a crime. you know. abduction. i'm just not going to have more in this case the aftermath moscow says city's newest attention is a kidnapping and criticizes the maldives government for letting the u.s. secret service take him. father who is a russian state duma deputy believes it could be a scheme to trade his son for it would snow that but lawyers are doubtful mr snowden has been granted asylum status in russia i don't know. that the u.s. would engage nor do i not believe really that russia would engage in any sort of an exchange with those two particular individuals there's no extradition treaty between russia and the u.s. moscow says the u.s. should at least have told russian authorities on what grounds their citizen was captured in a third country i would say that ourselves client. a russian pilot was captured in liberia and sent to the us where he was convicted of drug trafficking

thailand allowed the u.s. to take hold of victor boot the russian arms dealer. proxy seizing russian citizens abroad in third countries and bringing them into the jurisdiction of the united states has become quite common. by american agents the u.s. has captured citizens of many countries with this kind of snap extradition extraordinary renditions have been common practice since nine eleven and detainees rights of a brutally being violated almost cities north was shipped to guam and although the island is in possession of the united states the u.s. constitution does not fully apply there which raises more questions as to what rights. will have while he's there. in washington i'm going to check on or. cooking up a pro gay marriage campaign can be a tough task and the riddle and it really turned out to be no piece of cake quite

literally a bakery refused to make a tasty treat featuring two characters from sesame street over the owner's religious beliefs and is now facing a grilling in court artie's political takes up the story. northern ireland is the only part of the u.k. where gay marriage still isn't legal and this bakery is run by devout christians it's even named after a verse in the bible a gay rights group called queer space came to the company and ordered a cake that was supposed to have an image of the sesame street characters and ernie on it in a slogan in support of gay marriage as well as the name of the organization on it now employees at the ashes baking company took the order but the manager later refused to bake the cake now the family run firm says that its refused to take orders in the past that featured sexual images or bad language and they said the cake in support of gay marriage was to their beliefs as

a company but the now facing legal action for those believes they've been accused of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation when islands first openly gay marriage has backed the legal action saying the business is shouldn't be able to pick and choose who they serve whereas the bakery are arguing that christians should be able to apply their beliefs of the day to day running of their businesses they've now got a christian pressure group to back up that stands now in terms of legal precedence while courts in the u.k. have in the past said that it's wrong for christians to refuse to serve gay people on the grounds of their sexuality but crucially this case would likely be the first in which anyone has been told that it's against the law to refuse to take part in gave rights published city campaigns the gay rights organization the rainbow project has said that the bakery can't have their cake and eat it in relation to

equality legislation in northern ireland. but here's what is story for you he's a chinese playboy model t. millionaire rescue volunteer and on top of that a global philanthropist meet and while. with the. in june he coughed up thirty thousand dollars to a charity that said it was affiliated with the u.n. and promised to give him another title imagine this his surprise when he found out this sort of record was from the united nations not the united nations chen had been duped and fortunately he found little sympathy for his plight given his own history of altruism as marina put my experience. the u.s. centric chinese billionaire who conned hundreds of homeless new yorkers out of a promised pay day has found that his deeds have come back to bite him chan and

initially garnered international fame in june after taking out a full page advertisement in the new york times promising one thousand homeless people free lunch at central park extravagant boathouse and three hundred dollars cash the event that r.c. reported on turned into a media circus that just has backed up everything and should be let out with tran so the spotlight becomes to. the city of however only two hundred fifty homeless people were allowed in and only a few receive their money the chinese billionaire shocked at the cash strapped crowd when he announced that instead of giving them money he would donate ninety thousand dollars to new york's oldest shelter you. may get. more money. now chen who has built his

fortune on recycling says he has been cheated and is taking option to get his money back from the foundation as for the hundreds of homeless who feel cheated by chan well they may be thinking what goes around comes around. me or. i that's it for me see you tomorrow and don't forget to drop me a line on twitter at c m would say and the school and are now when i leave you with . his documentary about the n.s.a. spying in the bahamas. you. always wonder where they'll be in this city listening to my conversations. is a place where they know for sure. that they suspect the bahamas they want to know so pick up. the same thing just to get. i mean the sixty one thing that's just what it means to be in

a government. should not freedom of shirt. and she says she does learn here is a misnomer. to miss the full financial services seem comfortable about the whole idea well we still finance i mean the thing to do would be so we say it's economic surveillance as well like the popping in the phone. survey in the whole world. that you just told me to see the phone company to stop it because it yeah i meant to send a letter signed all right you know. but. it. was not mine. on what i'm going to say. i think. was. basically so you're going to give a speech about the whole government surveillance thing. would you say like the us

told you it's all good and if it will be about or i would say. this go over it and its use of it and focus about it like when the foreign minister is about to give a speech in parliament saying that he got some reassurance of the u.s. or something like that there are certain issues because of national security that we may not know. it may be certain instances. that that may be or it some type of information gathering but when it comes down to the. great things the privacy rules the individual or individuals or innocent individuals that's a whole different story you know so we need to look at that we need to consider that we need more information from our government. that much should know what's going on and they ought to tell the bayman people from a time then we are in a position to make a determination as to people. like i'm giving you the n.s.a.

stickers all right give you some just to put on your phone so you know we'll get. the people of the bahamas okupe like parliament square to protest fulfill say for me. deputy prime minister philip davis he said we didn't give our consent you know but that is not the same thing you don't know yeah so the question we have is like with full brightness results there's a possibility of a reason which is one of the many reasons why we're we're demonstrating today in the u.s. put him in a godor one of them perhaps it could be anything it could be that they just turned a blind eye without being without being so often in small countries like this you think well you know if united states wants to do it and we're not going to get in trouble for it you are going to have an effect just going to. dismiss is suing the u.s. government and my right to privacy have been violated i've been awful all the way new york i did native language and there are members of

a lot of second responsibility had to do you know the whole different thank god i don't understand but i have not put a. drop. on a reception to the page but if you just listen to people's phone pose as a whole in the bahamas all kinds of about this is like it ok to listen to people like you also i just hope that this is this demonstration with real hard information that you know the cabin of the bahamas can contain important information that should be shared with the citizens very long track. to make sure. people over. see you know country. we have it. we see it everybody sees oh. they can. box up the section.

do we speak your language anybody will or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles couldn't stories. are you here to. see detroit altie spanish find out more visit eye to eye all tito is calm. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others to a few still notice. the faces changing the world lights now. so picture of today's leaves my own demand from around the globe. look to. fifty.
