live from moscow this is art c. international with me marina call survive it's good to have you with us and we have breaking news this hour the top cia officer in germany has been ordered out of the country for a man has responded angrily after two german officials in the week were allegedly revealed to be american spies well let's get more on this from our correspondent peter all over n. berlin here so it seems berlin finally felt compelled so acted in a. well yes what we've seen is a man identified by german officials as the. chief representative of american intelligence working at the u.s. embassy which you can see just behind me here in berlin they identified him and said that he had to pack his bags and leave the country now this is as a direct result of two recent spy scandals in as many weeks it came after an

emergency session of the parliamentary committee for control of intelligence and well they said it was down to the refusal of u.s. intelligence services to work with their german counterparts off the back of these two investigations that we've see now this is clearly designed to represent a strong statement to washington not something that there has been accusations here in germany that the german government haven't being doing that they haven't been doing enough there to show strength in the face of spy scandals that have really been emerging almost solidly since the first leaks from edward snowden over a year ago now this is putting strain on german u.s. relations now especially following the announcement this angela merkel's private cell phone it actually being tapped but in a statement a government spokesman said that the german government would continue to work with its partners but continued working relationship relied a lot on trust and that there had been trust lost here. this of course follows

these two scandals that we've seen what involving a an officer of the federal intelligence service remains in custody awaiting trial who was arrested last week and just this week we saw the searching of a the whole office of an employee of the defense ministry there's no arrest be made there but that inquiry continues so that's the decision that's being made by the germans they've told the representative of the u.s. security services yes the packets bags and leave the country are at peter all of our bringing us all the latest from berlin thank you very. actually considered talking about the international reaction because the latest revelations have prompted outrage among politicians now we're talking about germany's finance minister who said the stupidity of the alleged spying makes him want to cry as social democratic party member called watching us spies been exposed on a weekly basis a degree writing spectacle and a member of the european parliament says germany is being treated as if it was

america's worst enemy well this certainly isn't the first n.s.a. scandal berlin has been involved in let's go over here and take a look at the other scandals that we've seen in the past for example the full scale of the snooping first came to light last june the agency was shown to have accessed up to half a billion german data connections every single month then a month later it was revealed germany's intelligence cooperated with the n.s.a. using the agency's infamous x. keyscore software in october an international scandal erupted as it was revealed the cell phone of chancellor angela merkel had been tapped as peter all over just told us and then at the end of the year it became clear that the british intelligence agency was also eavesdropping on german targets and that in february this year it was reports of the n.s.a. had tapped the chancellor gerard schroeder's phone calls as one that was in the run up to the two thousand and three us led invasion of iraq well one american

investigators journalist told r.t. there revelations are leaving berlin simply and barriers. the german and american security systems are so interwoven you can't even separate them they're basically the same infrastructure the same architecture of security so if germany was to say they don't want to it's very hard for them not to because there's so many institutions which are basically into the same incident the german political leadership. wants to be involved the united states they want to have an integrated security infrastructure it's part of who they are it is part of who they've been since the end of world war two but this recent espionage scandal that america being spied on and of the recent cases is embarrassing for the german political system because it shows that germany's been very loyal to the united states with the united states too doesn't trust. world leaders were angered and insulted when the n.s.a. spying was revealed you can see some of their comments here german chancellor angela

merkel compared to the life under the stasi french president francois hollande echoed her statement expressing deep disapproval and brazil's president called the u.s. surveillance a breach of international law well we have more stories up ahead for you including a limb and blockade in the eastern ukraine were one of the city's preparing for a siege as troops to surround the remain in hopes of government resistance. the number of people killed by israeli airstrikes on gaza is rising local health officials say more than eighty lives have been lost since the offensive was launched on choose day a family of aides including children died in an overnight air strike israel says it has vowed to step up attacks and hamas stops firing rockets and its territory. but even at. the moment doing.

that when i'm in a government that came in. at least twenty civilians are mongered that reports of by the palestinian health ministry many targets the sword by israeli missiles have no links to have. accuses the organization of using civilians as human shields israel's massing troops on the border and twenty thousand reservists have already been mobilized or cease policy or as following the stray ship. the civilian death toll in gaza continues to climb in the predawn strike on thursday eight members of one family were reportedly killed five of them children according to gaza health officials hof of the

casualties are innocent women and children and many of the homes that are being destroyed by these israeli air strikes have no connection whatsoever to hamas officials according to palestinian figures one hundred twenty homes have been destroyed as well as several government buildings now increasingly it does seem as if a ground offensive by the israeli defense forces is imminent here in israel we are hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he has ordered an intensification of the assault in gaza israel's intelligence officer has also said and here i'm quoting that we have to take over gaza temporarily he suggested it could be a few weeks until the entire military infrastructure in gaza is destroyed i'm standing on the israel gaza border where the situation is extremely tense silence continually sound here when south israel as well as in the central and sometimes even move in israel people have been ordered to remain in or nearby bomb shelters

now at the same time there are more than fifty israelis who have been admitted to hospital many of them are suffering wounds that they sustained while running to those bomb shelters all are in a state of shock from most sirens the united nations security council is scheduled to hold any movement see me shing late on tuesday the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon has condemned the israeli airstrikes he's urged for restraint he has said that god is on a knife edge and that the situation is spiraling out of control paula c.r.t. on the israel gaza border. for minute by minute obviates on the rising tensions in the region you can also policy on her twitter a town where she's constantly updating posts and pictures and videos of boxing's. and for more on the escalating conflict between israel and the palestinians what an aspect of human rights activist mohamed silliman who joins me live from gaza thank you very much for joining us like then you tell us how are people in gaza feeling right now. we'll

the situation here is completely horrifying it's completely dangerous to be out in the streets so the people are just staying at their homes they are trying to avoid being out in the streets or at least minimize or read to us. you know their exposure to the outside world so it is completely beyond us to be outside anyone could be a target for israeli attack the number of civilians indicates that if we passing humanity on the streets of the targets where it's raining warplanes but israel claims of sirens to warn palestinians about any it's had spy type messages out with phone calls why aren't these warnings working then well these warnings are completely counterfactual again the number of civilian

casualties so far is for example eighty more than eighty palestinian civilians have been killed the number of injuries is more than four hundred. mostly women and children you have twenty children who have been killed so far in women who have been killed so we need to keep in mind that gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the entire world so when israel claims that it is actually targeting. command sites these claims are completely unfounded because there is no such thing i mean with israel's strike that israel launches against the gaza strip it is inevitable to have a number of civilian casualties and this is what we can see from the numbers that we have but israel says it will continue with this offensive until hamas stops firing rockets with so many casualties why doesn't hamas just stopped that.

well the issue here is not hamas and where the hamas stops its rocket fire or not because we know we normally get distracted by the blame game which started this renewed cycle of violence is how much responsible or is it israel and we tend to forget the most important which is the israeli occupation this is not a case of an even conflict between two equal parties this is rather a case of military occupation maintained by the fourth strongest military in the entire world it is a nuclear power which is maintaining a military occupation over the pelts an e.m.p. but it is the longest longest standing military occupation in modern history so israel is also blockading the gaza strip it is isolating the palestinians and the god out of it is out of the world it is shooting one ideally be against shelton and in the fishing fishermen in the fishing zone farmers it's preventing palestinian

students from actually getting their universities it is a preventing palestinian patients from accessing health care outside so this is violence which is being committed on a daily basis against the palestinians this is a greater violence that needs to be addressed by and it's rather reactionary by and it is rather symbolic violence which is which needs to be understood within the context of national liberation movements i mean even if hamas violence could be seen as useless it is not the important issue that needs to be addressed israel needs to end its occupation and its violence against the palestinians then we can talk about other issues so this is the most important case that we need to address part of soon drown a less than human rights activists mohamed so mark thank you very much for bringing us more details on what life is like in gaza right now. terrorists in northern iraq have seized nuclear substances in the city of mosul but

dog has called on the u.n. to help remove any threat that the hazardous material will be used at home or abroad or seasons of friends has the latest what we've learned is that in a letter to the united nations iraq announced insurgents have seized nuclear materials from miles away university according to iraq's u.n. ambassador mohammed ali al hakim at least forty kilograms of uranium compounds were stored in the university said the materials obtained can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction and warned they could easily be smuggled out of iraq a u.s. government official told reuters news agency the materials are not believed to be enriched uranium and would therefore make it difficult to make into a weapon it's also been revealed that islamic state the militants the group formerly known as isis captured a facility on june eleventh thirty five miles southwest of baghdad which was once offered by saddam hussein's regime and is believed to contain two thousand five hundred degraded rockets filled with potentially deadly sarin and mustard gas u.s.

officials have downplayed the risk claiming the materials are too old to be useful however given the instability within the country and its proximity to syria this is still a very huge worry. as lindsey mentioned there the militants have made significant gains in recent weeks seize an entire weapons arsenals that already frayed at the columns of tanks and even a scud ballistic missile the chemical side and second the rocket consigned a number of deadly agents including sarin cyanide and mustard gas and now they possess nuclear materials well we asked michael maloof who spent thirty years working for the u.s. department of defense of what they're likely to do with them and this is what he had to say it's possible that the material could be used for making a dirty bomb at best it cannot be made into a nuclear weapon it's not that. it's been determined that it's not a that. grade for

a nuclear weapon but it's been known for three or three years that you can take the radioactive material and put it into a conventional weapon such as artillery shells the fact that it's regulated the fact that it's out there i think is reason to be concerned about it and it can be used by they can be used by these people in in places in very. highly populated areas and and of course that there will just radiate an area and it could cause an area there not to be able to be used for years as a conflict. or what scene has been put on together a timeline of events and the roxanne's to how this began their advance and to log on to our to dot com to get all the latest updates and see what's been happening. right to see. her story. and i would think that your.

the it's one to four hours a day this is artsy and sir national welcome back we had over to the u.k. now when the army of a million public sector workers have walked off the ball forcing schools and offices to close in the so-called covert surprise strike union leaders claim a. action may be the biggest in this century although the authorities see the turnout has been overestimated teachers and firefighters have joined terror workers librarians and other civil servants at picket lines across the country they're protesting against or sorry to and government calls for the boy called for such a move there were this is what's been happening in london and sure of course from the top it's all the other rowdy crowd that's gathered behind me is made up of the public sector one has despite the typically british summer weather that we're being graced with today and of course the overarching theme hand the issue is back to working conditions and the tough issue that is about pay now british public sector workers have experienced pay freezes over the cost several years and twinned with

the ever increasing cost of living well they say that it's just not a living wage that they're getting at the moment a lot of the media focus about today's strike was also on teaches that have looked out today now the head of day union has said that more and more teachers it leaving the profession because of government policies or are just about to retire michael sr are involved in order to teach the amount of work for teachers these jerks are starting to build and it's not work that actually it's beneficial to the children mentions it in terms of issues even eroded. over the last ten or fifteen use and it's time to do something about it by simply it should have an office an office that was like exchanges and what isn't limited to chew lawns and alone we've got walk out some protests taking place across the entire countries

in towns cities and places as remote as the file of white now of course the government has said that they're not happy about it they've said that it's going to be pointless and extremely destructive a move over the prime minister david cameron because it recently. to bring in strict rules that would. strike essential services like this one which of course having spoken to the protesters that have gathered here today they say that that makes them even more angry. russian street cars like this one i haven't exactly been a good advert for public transport in recent years but check this out one of the country's top manufacturers has weighed in you can take a look at the brand new back. on our website where you can also get a full tour inside an ounce. also there you can find the sexism at the white house figures show president obama has persistently paid his maladministration way more than their female colleagues as ever since he was elected in two thousand and

nine all the details are on our website. so ukraine now where the main hopes of ansa government resistance in the cities of the new and logan's are preparing for a siege ukrainian forces are surrounding that's a capital as all of the self-proclaimed republics of the present portion call approved a plan for a military assault on both these are the pictures from the small town of nearby it has reportedly suffered as strikes local militia have left saying they didn't want the town to be besieged by here forces and this is video supposedly shows ukrainian military vehicles heading to the embattled cities locals there are living in fear as are two summary of reports today again we woke up from very loud tillery we are in the city center and the shelling. we were able to hear the launch of the shells and we were also hearing how they were lending the government forces

continue to shell the ukrainian army's positions in the outskirts of the city with the country's military firing back it happens very often but shells land in quite unexpected places in the. many residents have already fled the city and people continue to leave people who are terrified by promises from key is to surround the city of donetsk and lugansk and fears were rising that it could become. a tourist to the center of the operation for months where clashes were very fierce and very deadly but gonski is a very big city with a population of more than four hundred thousand people while denounce his home to one million people and concerns were rising the consequences of such strategy also will be bigger and. the city of slovyansk the former stronghold of the government forces has seen some of the worst attacks lay in ruins and suffering the severe

humanitarian crisis has been turned into a ghost town and this is the assessment of european monitors. the there was quite a bit of devastation there obviously we were the first international body to get into the city there is very no electricity no water. lack of food supplies a.t.m. machines were working and it's basically a ghost town right now more than half the population has a lot of people according to our monitors the people there are very kind of alone and almost abandoned ukraine's search for energy security has seen the country's biggest gas producer seeking funding from the u.s. congress and that means figures with close links to the likes of the u.s. secretary of state and the u.s. vice president taking up positions on the board no doubt in the hope that some family strings can be pulled back in washington. for some top u.s. officials ukraine is not just about politics it's about business family and friends

but one connection leads to another and the business is now finding its way into the u.s. congress. a week after vice president joe biden's son joined the board of ukraine's largest gas producing secretary of state john kerry's former senate chief of staff signed on to lobby congress on behalf of that same ukrainian energy company another gentleman from team kerry joined the von archer who was once john kerry's advisor and been learning his presidential campaign these people are no strangers to each other divonne archer and joe biden son worked as business partners with john kerry's son in law christopher heintz oh yes and buddhism of their new employer is controlled by new former ukrainian government minister all these sons and friends of u.s. officials say they're on their own that they're disconnected from the decision makers in washington but of course nobody can stop them from benefiting from the policies in the buildings around here members of congress are already writing

letters saskin to provide us funding for ukraine domestic energy production here is one of the senators. i think if we are going to be helping them with new technologies and we should we should have a telescope time frame that we create for doubling of natural gas production inside of ukraine and we should set those goals set benchmarks and then much meet them and help us make sense of this house of cards where one connection leads to another where it's all business and it's all personal here's craik. it's not just about lobbying for this one particular firm in ukraine right a u.s. state department spokesperson told congress this tuesday that ukraine's entire gas supply and production system is corrupt and needs fixing and the u.s. of course can help and one can only wonder what u.s. companies and what individuals would benefit from that fixing what do you think

well we don't have to wonder too long because what we've seen is a scandal here we're. well connected relatives cronies of. officials are already on board and it. took what happened after iraq when there were all kinds of conferences on how americans and american companies could make money out of the situation buying influence in washington is not called corruption in america it's called tapping into new opportunities in washington i'm going to. ok up next next and stacy are here discussing the dangerous science for the u.s. economy and the kaiser reports. from time to time i get emotional emails in broken english from quote nationalists of

various sort who support the current government in kiev and it makes me wonder if young people today even know what the word nationalist means for example just last week a bill was passed in ukraine that will open up forty nine percent of the country's gas pipelines and storage facilities to european and american companies let's also not forget the joe biden son was put on the board of ukraine's largest gas producer we should also remember all the way back to the first days of the coup against you know covert what did the nationalists do first sign up big time for i am loans wow putting your country into massive debt with foreign entities now that's nationalistic and would you think ukrainian nationalists would put ukrainians into power all over the regions of ukraine well think again because money sure trumps ethnicity what it comes to the two thousand and fourteen governors lined up and most importantly of all how can nationalists want to join the e.u. which is lefty liberal paradise where patriotic movements are the black sheep of the continent so my dear detractors who write me letters just what sort of nationalist revolution are you so proud of i'm sorry but i'm not seeing your

triumph but that's just my opinion. welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser fake it till you make it the phrase a similar to aristotle's notion that acting virtuous will make one virtuous and according to wikipedia it is often recommended as a therapy technique for combating depression in this case the idea is to go through .
