live from moscow this is artsy ensor national with the cost of our thanks for being with us. now we have breaking news this hour the top cia officer enjoyment he has been ordered out of the country berlin has responded angrily after two german officials in the week were allegedly revealed to be american spies our correspondent peter oliver has more from berlin this is as a direct result of two recent spy scandals 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 the german counterparts of 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 been 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 but in a statement a government spokesman said this the german government would continue to work with its partners but that data continued working relationship relied a lot on trust and that there had been trust lost here. i just want to see that if you look at it using common sense in my opinion and allies in france is a waste of energy. this of course follows these two scandals that we've seen what involving a 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 home and office of an employee of the defense ministry there's no arrest being made there but that inquiry continues so that's the decision it's been made

by the germans they've told the representative of the u.s. security services yes the packets bags and leave the country. the letters from relations have said alfredo among politicians let's take a look at what they've been saying we have germany's finance minister is that the. peggotty of the alleged spying makes them want to cry and social democratic party member called what in the u.s. spies been exposed on a weekly basis is the great thing spectacle and the 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 that berlin's been involved in let's come over here and take a look at the previous ones now we will start to because the full scale of the snooping first came to light was seen the agency was shown to have access up to half a billion german data connections every single month and months later it was revealed that germany's intelligence cooperated with the n.s.a. using the agency's infamous x. keyscore software then in october an international scandal erupted as it was

revealed the cell phone of chancellor angela merkel had been tapped as well at the end of the year it became clear that the british intelligence agency was also eavesdropping on german targets then in february this year it was reported that the n.s.a. had tapped the chancellor gerard for others phone calls in the run up to the two thousand and three us led invasion of iraq well let's not get more on this from journalist and broadcaster neil clark thank you very much for being with us so with all the recent spine scandals why is it that only now germany has decided to act well i think the german government had now agreed because as you just said we've had over a year relationship how the us has been strong on germany and outrageous not only have the us been strong all the germans. have been spying on the chance i'm going to look at pro u.s. stocks yet not just as chancellor even if she had a telephone so this is really quite outrageous and i think the general douglas come

under increasing pressure to act because the german people are outraged and even members if you must critically critically elite are now outraged and i have and i think on the left of the left party yesterday people are saying look we've got to do something we just can't let this continue without taking action so i think that i really know. choice today so what do you think will see happen next how big of a strain with all this put on relations between the two countries well i think it will put a strength to kill an elite where it is right now because germany has been a tremendous ally to the united states west germany before in the cold war was a staunch ally and afterwards in one nine hundred ninety the u.s. basically subcontracted the job of bringing in the ex-communist countries into the west and over it so germany's been a very old ally of what they really got in return you know they're being spied apartment and i think there's members of the german political elite now who who strongly believe that germany should change its foreign policy to distance itself from the u.s. and to have close relationships with russia and other countries and i think we see this over the ukraine this kind of gives all right because united states be trying

to push germany to impose tougher sanctions on russia over ukraine and he says clearly not in germany's interest to do this it's not in germany economic interests to fall out with russia so i think we're going to see i think the distancing a gradual distancing from the u.s. and germany and germany is best interest to do that and perhaps this expulsion is the first that so that so what do you think the u.s. will do though in reaction to this next fall so now will washington accept it even while the united states hasn't done anything has it really i mean these revelations will come out and it's up to the united states now to try main bridges with curly and they haven't done that up to now and i think that this is very important to us because as i said before germany has been a very key strategic ally for the u.s. and they are trying to on the one hand they're saying to to go be putting pressure on gently to do things in the u.s. interest like for example extra sanctions on russia which clearly are in the germans interest so i think united states has got to rethink here it's not only going to go on a charm of france with germany is going to take concrete action to say that this

not only will the spying stop but to apologize for this and to take steps to make sure it doesn't happen in the future but i think the damage is being done now realizing that quite rightly people in germany are outraged what's happened i mean want changes but why is this happening i'm in germany. is a strategic ally as you said what does washington have to gain from spying on them well i think washington it's. because you can. if you're reading it washington it bugs you and it sanctions you if you're our washington d.c. spies when you go to war she would have been essential to the war change and the cold war there's now a war multi-polar world if the rise it would with the rise of china of course the russian lie to has been struck so i think the answer question is basically better to be very arrogant it's been the look so she would power from nine hundred ninety until a few years ago and it's basically gone nice things can it's got power crazy really and. you know as i said this is backfire i don't think on the united states people

are saying in germany look we were all eyes united states and this is what happens there spying on us this can't be right trust is being destroyed here and it needs to be very hard for you know the states to repair distrust absolutely and in fact a recent poll showed that over half of germans want their country to be less the pendants off the u.s. journalist and broadcaster neil clark thank you very much. well we have more stories ahead for you including aluminum blockade in a certain ukraine the report from will ganske one of the two cities preparing for a siege as kiev sends troops to surround the remaining hobbs' of government resistance. the number of people killed by israeli airstrikes in gaza is rising local health officials say more than eighty lives have been lost since the offensive was launched on tuesday a family of eight including children died in an overnight air raid israel on its part has vowed to step up until hamas stops farm rockets onto its territory. the

thing about. the mad dog got me to talk. a lot when i met a woman that comment was that it was . probably. the. that was. at least twenty civilians are among the dead reported by the palestinian health ministry many targets the stored by israeli missiles have no obvious lengths to hamas but as well accuses organization of using civilians as human shields israel's massing troops on the border and twenty thousand reservists have already been mobilized artie's policy or as following the situation. the

civilian death toll in gaza continues to climb in a pre-dawn strike on thursday h. members of one family were reportedly killed five of them children according to gaza health officials hoff 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

continued me sound here when south israel as well as in the central. and sometimes even in northern 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 for restraint he has said that gaza is on a knife age and that the situation is spiraling out of control policy r.t. on the israel gaza border. and for minute by minute updates on the rising tensions in the region it can always follow policies leaders twitter accounts where she is constantly posting videos and pictures on what's happening where she is. all the head of the u.n. has appealed for a cease fire and gaza and the russian president has also ours this role as prime

minister to establish a truce a spiraling tensions were triggered by the killing of three israeli teenagers last month by former irish i mean people murphy believes israel is just using the tragedy to justify its actions. of a murderous assault being pursued bloody israeli establishment you have a completely cynical use over the tragic death of the three israeli teenagers in order to pursue a preexisting agenda which is an imperialist agenda which is about. undermining hamas and which points towards anyway and i do ground invasion so it's not a matter of the israeli establishment going crocodile tears and saying oh well some civilian deaths are inevitable and they're certainly inevitable whenever you have an open air prison complex and then you subject this to hundreds of bargains with

the highest technological level weapons on a daily basis. terrorists the northern iraq have seized nuclear substances and this it's of muscle but don has called on the un to help remove any threat that the hazardous material will be used at home or abroad are seasons of friends has more. what we've learned is that in a letter to the united nations iraq announced insurgents have seized nuclear materials from moscow university according to iraq's u.n. ambassador mohammed 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 about thirty five miles southwest of baghdad which was once operated 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 of made significant gains in recent weeks season ends higher weapons arsenals less little exactly what they have because they've already paraded columns of hands and even the scud ballistic missile the chemical site they took in iraq can say it a number of the agents including sarin cyanide and muscle das and now they possess nuclear materials we asked michael maloof who spent thirty years working for the u.s. department of defense what are likely to do with them. 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. grade for a nuclear weapon but it's been known for three years that you can take 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 will just radiate an area and it could cause an area there not to be able to be used for years as a conflict. and you can also get all use online know what seem has been put in to get our timeline of events in iraq since this began their advance a law called for all the latest updates. look

look right from the seat. first st peter and i were being picture. on our reporter's twitter. and instagram. to be in the know. one. still to come miles strikes of a pub or to pay it rock the u.k. up so many in union workers saw a large scale actions in cities across the country so insist everyone is inside so to a decent wage they've got the reaction from the capital after the break. there's a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the sea pushing securely play your

party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politicking only on our t.v. . i'm abby martin the stories we cover here are not going here in iraq other big story the facts are that while some talk there's a reason they don't want international airport they're trying to raise that we don't think. now let's break the set. choose your language. please make it with zero in federal custody still some of that. choose to use the consensus to click and. choose the opinions that immigrate could. choose the stories that impact your life choose the access to to off.

over to the u.k. now as promised where almost a million public sector workers have walked off the job forcing schools and offices to close in the so-called covert suppose strike union leaders claim the action may be the biggest in the sun true although the authorities say the turnout has been overestimated teachers and firefighters have joined care workers librarians and all the civil servants a picket lines across the country their protests and austerity as well as government cuts political reports from the capital the rather rowdy crowd that's gathered behind me is made up of public sector workers 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 top issue that is about pay now british public sector workers have experienced pay freezes

over the past 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 of the books out today now the head of de union has said that more and more teachers are leaving the profession because of government policies or i'm just about to retire and michael sr are in power you know to teach you shouldn't amount of work or speeches these jerks are starting to go i mean it's not work that actually it's better if you shoot the children in. terms of the dishes you've been eroded. so badly over the last ten or fifteen use and in trying to do something about it by simply it should have enough is enough that was like saying someone is the limit is it too long to know that we've got walkouts and protests taking place across the entire

countries in town so. some places as remote as the light 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 very by the prime minister david cameron has recently pledged 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 haven't exactly been a good ad word for public transports in recent years as you can see here now one of the country's top time when you first has waded in check out the brand new bats tram you can take a full tour inside the now and so on are. also there such as a white house figures show president obama has persistently paid his male administration staff way more than their female colleagues since being the like that and suit dollars and the details are available online.

the main hobbs alliance a government resistance and they certainly crane the cities of the new little guns are preparing for a siege ukrainian forces are surrounding the two capitals of the republics after president poroshenko approved a plan for minutes or an assault on both now these are the pictures from the small town of c.b.s. . has reportedly suffered air strikes local militia have left saying they didn't want the town to deceive your forces this video supposedly shows ukrainian military vehicles heading to the embattled cities and locals are living in fear as artie's maria financial reports. today again we woke up from very loud sounds of tillery we are in the city center and the shelling was so close that we were able to hear the launch of the shells and we were also hearing how they were lending the anti 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 that shells land in quite unexpected places in the city center in 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 are very fierce and very deadly but lugansk is a very big city with a population of more than four hundred thousand people while didn't yes it is home to one million people and concerns are rising the consequences of such strategy also will be bigger and deadly. the city of slovyansk the former stronghold all violence a government forces has seen some of the worst attacks lay in the ruins and suffering the severe humanitarian crisis has been turned into a ghost town and that's 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. 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 people there felt very kind of alone and almost abandoned. ukraine search for energy security has in the country's biggest gas producer seeking funding from the us congress and that means figures with close links to the likes of the us secretary of states and the us vice president taking up positions on the board no doubt in the hope that some families friends can be polled back in washington and that's to count explains for some top u.s. officials ukraine is not just about politics it's about business for 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 producer 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's 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 a. former ukrainian government minister all of 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 adopted in the buildings around here members of congress are already writing letters saskin to provide us funding for ukraine's 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 will. and to 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 very influential officials are already on board and it quite reminiscent of 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 check on. short break is that x. then abby martin delves into the latest file of violence in kuala son as well as the n.s.a. surveillance and all the latest headlines and breaking the stats stay with us. we never saw that coming. we had no idea our children were gay. i

would actually just at night pray to god you know me normal. they said you're a homo you're a homo and from that day in first grade i swear my life changed forever i became like the ridicule i don't think it stops still to this day. well alabama and texas instruct school teachers to tell pupils young people that homosexuality is not an acceptable lifestyle and also instructs them to say that homosexual sex in private is a crime in those states if the church was going to fire me that's what they had to do but i was going to do this way. this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something is simple

as people playing soccer games you can see individual players and you can see the ball. you can only see is facial expression you can see is down to the open and crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe he asked. for forgiveness for. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured. this is about making the business survive. the. corporations don't love your parishioners told hate corporations

have no feeling. corporations don't care about you or me corporations will occur but often. people come to untouched forests and leave massively for the sake come on. we're not going to quit we will not stop until it is done what is more precious music more moon. welcome to break in the set i met in martin so two days ago israel launched a bombing campaign dubbed operation protective edge against gaza that's still ongoing but despite the horrors on the ground the mainstream media seems to only be telling one side of the story take a look at this.
