intelligence. five pm in moscow i met treasure bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news tensions between kiev and moscow that escalated after a rocket launch from ukraine killed a russian citizen the shell struck the yard of a private home in russia's rostov region has more. on sunday we saw a very dangerous escalation of the crisis here in ukraine several shells fired from the ukrainian territory lended to in the russian border town then asked has the same name as the ukrainian city has now become the major battleground of a lot scale military operation here in eastern ukraine i would say that there were at least six shells they hate a private house killing one man earlier there were reports that four people were injured but later it was down scaled the time began at around eight thirty in the

morning they started shelling and destroyed his house my mother and sister were there now in hospital you know that one man was around forty seven years old he had a very big family and four children cave already denied any responsibility for this attack and his rushes reaction these facts are evidence of a dangerous escalation on russia's border with ukraine that creates a higher level of danger to russian citizens their moves are going to be harsh and specific and while we see that ukrainian crisis is spilling over to russia here in ukraine the situation is getting more and more tense and ordinary civilians often those who pay the highest price for war from or even i mean you can follow her on twitter where she posts regular updates on the ukraine crisis. in the in the.

cross border incidents increasingly frequent on saturday a vehicle carrying russian border guards came under fire originating from the ukrainian side the car riddled with bullet holes but the man inside escaped on a heart. just a week earlier rockets hit a russian border checkpoint near the scene of saturday's incident the crossing was packed with refugees trying to enter russia and the war zone. was going to sudan prisoners rolled up and become absolutely never discussed the likelihood are those starting early or did you want to know really. really. really. don't you think the more you. put on your. evidence. and you must move you. here denies any involvement in what moscow calls border

provocations but international affairs analyst alexander mercurial thinks no one but the ukrainian army could be behind them here's why it would be inconceivable to me that the insurgents the resistance people in the dawn bass who are the only other people who could do this would actually attack russian territory i think that would be so reckless and irresponsible on their part that i can't imagine that there is fighting going on on the ukrainian border the ukraine to be trying to detain control of these border posts and i think some of that fighting is spilling over into russia but the point i would make kids hurt of course on the second of july the ukraine committed itself to a cease fire an unconditional cease fire and agreed to and russia in return agreed to allow monitors ukrainian monitors on its side of the border the problem is the ukrainians have not taken up these all this and have not carried out the cease fire

even though the germans and french and the ukrainians themselves have paid to accept the russian all of this so that is why we have seen this escalation because they have to shoot a military reconquest of the border areas rather than seek a diplomatic settlement. eighteen workers killed in a fresh army shelling of two minors settlements on the outskirts of donetsk one of the strongholds of resistance cities residential areas also targeted leading to numerous deaths so the exact number has yet to be confirmed are about to see the latest pictures from donetsk you may find some of them disturbing two minutes drive from the city center residential buildings were almost leveled by airstrikes in orphanages steroid conflicting reports as to the number of civilians killed ranging from six to more than thirty thousands of families decided to flee dinette because the army tightens its grip on the city tailback stretched for kilometers along local road. first turning to some of these other top stories overnight in gaza more than fifty palestinians died from more israeli bombardment

nearly a week into the offensive the number of dead has risen to more than one hundred sixty more than half of them civilians including dozens of children this is what was left after one of israel's deadly as the air strikes that destroyed the home of a local police chief eighteen members of the same family died there the u.n. security council called for a cease fire israel says no international pressure will stop it from pursuing its offensive despite claims it's only aiming at militant targets more civilians are being caught in the violence. i. know the.

israeli missile struck more than a thousand sites in gaza this week a mosque a home for people with disabilities in a beach cafe filled with football fans were among those hit are you fear filed this report from our team won a visit to gaza's main hospital we met four year old shame mastery she was injured in abdomen she became collateral damage in a drone strike but i have yet i looking at the thing. what about how well the limit on how the little for. how we let them read and write about them. furnace that's had that. well i've been going to tell them how did you get the hang hello is this how that they knew where they thought i thought of doctors tell me they've been dealing with the biting shortage of medical supplies in gaza for the last three weeks as a result of the ongoing siege but even civilians that survive the violence suffer

the mental effects of living in a war zone our bed lives in a neighborhood of shaikh road one that was targeted last night. and i'll be. done as little as a. gun in. london if you. know . it's been a traumatizing couple of days for the civilians of han eunice in the south of the gaza strip to during its operation israel says that its going off to hamas militants those that ledges of hamas militants however it's willing to go as far as targeting their homes and in this case israel killed six children and two adults when it struck this family home the family didn't have time to heed the warning drone missile which arrived four minutes before the main strike. almost but still so subtle hundred of.

them said israel has made clear that it's not interested in restraining its operation on gaza so long as hamas rocket fire continues very sad to see. israeli commandos conducted a raid on a rocket launch site in gaza sunday morning triggering fears that a full scale ground invasion could be imminent the i.d.f. has been massing troops on the border for several days down the middle east correspondent paula sneer has been. twenty soldiers briefly into northern gaza the i.d.f. says that the purpose of the mission was to destroy it. rocket launching sites we understand that there was a brief exchange of fire during which before these weighty soldiers would like the wounded but the army has since returned to israel of course the question being asked is whether or not this is a precursor for a ground offensive certainly the sense on the ground and from meet witnessing the massing of tanks and on the personnel vehicles and troops along the border it does

seem as if a ground offensive could be imminent and certainly the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has indicated that this is an option that he is considering the word from the israeli army however is that they all ready for a ground offensive but that ultimately this is a political decision. a massive i would have enjoyed all attacks on gaza and it's been raining more rockets down on israel no deaths reported in israel yet the worst hamas attack this week at a petrol station in the south of the country wow r r o i. one man severely injured in the attack in all five israelis wounded by hamas rockets this week sirens sounding several times a day cross in israel with people rushing into bomb shelters many rockets are being intercepted by the anti missile iron dome system and that's keeping casualties to a minimum you know the old idea of spokeswoman whether she considers the formally for israeli attacks on gaza to be

a measure. this is not an operation in any capacity against the people of gaza this is an operation against hamas against an organization that purposely and specifically uses the civilian population of gaza as human shields the point is is that you're defending your people but thankfully no israelis have been killed by hamas rockets in the last number of days but let's just get some more figures since two thousand and eight over a thought and civilians were killed in gaza that's right twenty times more than the israeli civilian death toll is israel's reaction to rockets fired by hamas measured on justified there are four with five million men women and children living in shelters that is something with which we cannot continue and which no other country would accept we make unbounded efforts to protect the civilian population in the gaza strip before any attack is taken against hamas which include text messages to people in civilian areas phone calls to their homes and then

a day ago then why because i don't as you say yes margaret but why then is the u.n. security general urging israel to show restraint but prime minister netanyahu is vowing to step off the offensive so international calls are simply being ignored aren't they i and he calls about international claims really should be directed towards the prime minister at the end of the day as a military big been given a very clear mission that mission is to restore quiet to the people that are living in israel and to teach hamas that there is a very very heavy price to pay to committing acts of terror. the russian president on a tour of latin america his last stop the region's powerhouse brazil vladimir putin will be there for the bric summit but also swing by the world cup final for the handover of the great event to the twenty eighteen host russia and with the world cup final nearly up on as we look ahead to the next tournament as we are apart from one of the russian cities of the host matches in twenty eighteen after this short.

this is what we do we kill people and break things. we can see something is simple as people playing a soccer game you can see individual players and you can see the ball. you can almost see his facial expression you can see his mouth 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.

so. thank you for spending part of your sunday with us after chatting with the leader of cuba's revolution fidel castro making a surprise stop in a garage signing several agreements in argentina russian president vladimir putin now headed for brazil for the annual break summit to end the world cup finals paul scott in rio following the big trip. well later on sunday russian president vladimir putin arrives stay in rio for the world cup final between argentina jump me will see efficient responsibilities for the people woke up hounded to russia from brazil of course russia is the host of the competition in two thousand and eighteen also present is going to be german chancellor angela merkel is an

opportunity for putin a michael to mingle world do we know about brazil about the current host nation brazil is a golf nation and despite a huge amount about bonaire is housing a majority of the population is still there up to seventy tribes living in the amazon rainforest who had no contact with the outside world the country's president dilma rousseff who had a fine time to buy the n.s.a. once you create brazil's own internet a lot of american countries to protect themselves from n.s.a. surveillance one of the country's most famous sites is the christ the redeemer statue but not sure where in ten may no eyebrows knit so fingers on the monument i'm busy and it's the country's capital not rio de janiero you need to just pull the one comes to build on from above it looks like an airplane the most popular sport in brazil is of course football it's like a religion hey but despite that later on sunday it could well be that all its rivals all janina they were celebrating you.

were. an air crash mystery may finally have been solved after four years it could be down to a crocodile on the loose in the cabin which caused the deadly crash in the congo we'll tell you more about it on our team dot com also won by. getting a feel for formula one with the grand prix in sochi fast approaching moscow fans have been getting a taste of what was to come. also in the week's news relations between germany and the us took a hit this week when berlin kicked out the cia steve station chief assigned there and it's after two high ranking german officials were unmasked as alleged american spies sparking some angry words the german interior minister dismissed the

information obtained by the alleged spies as lawful but said the political fallout is disproportionately serious a left party member was outraged saying there is no longer blind trust in the u.s. and the justice minister is demanding that u.s. spying in germany be stopped once and for all parties peter all reports. sent packing a with a flea in his ear and. i just want to say that if you see it was human common sense in my opinion spying on allies and friends is a waste of energy. germany has now told the cia contact at the us embassy in berlin to get his things and leave. for the first time after a series of spy scandals this is a strong message from the germans that they've had enough of washington's behavior you know it's been a six of its people are foreign intelligence services isn't something we're taking lightly but it took a whole string of an embarrassing snooping slip ups to get to the stage it paints

a picture of an abusive relationship in june of last year it emerged that the u.s. had spied on its european allies prompting this response from the chancellor spying on friends is not acceptable then it was revealed that mrs merkel's private cell phone was bugged by the n.s.a. washington promised not to do it again but refused to sign a no spy deal bilin still wanted to talk trade and rebuilding of trust between the transatlantic partners flash forward to april of this year when germany's request to see the chancellor's n.s.a. file was turned down and even then the next angle of merkel was content to stand side by side with the u.s. president as he again spoke of a close friendship but the discovery of two potential double agents in germany and his many weeks and a lack of cooperation from the u.s. with the investigations looks like the final straw and it will be interesting to

see what effect the expulsion of the cia official will have on an already strained u.s. german relationship now that berlin has shown its willingness to act peter all of a r.t. germany. this isn't the first time u.s. intelligence has been called out for a spying on an ally take a look at some of the previous instances like last june when it was revealed a half billion private messages or calls sent or received by german citizens were monitored each month chancellor merkel falling victim to when her phone was tapped in february a report about a former chancellor gerhard schroeder's phone calls were snooped on in the run up to the u.s. led invasion of iraq when american journalist tells r.t. latest revelations are leaving berlin red faced the german and american security systems was so interwoven you can't even separate them they're basically just saying it's a structure the same architecture 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 whole bit with the same institute the german political leadership. wants

to be involved in 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 medical being spied on and of the two rows recent cases is embarrassing for the german political system because it shows that germany has been very loyal to the united states but the united states still doesn't trust also in the week's news a little getting in the way of isis jihad is from expanding their so-called islamic state in iraq and syria is weak they capture the oil fields plus the chemical and nuclear sites and have been getting fresh recruits from rival rebel factions the u.s. though still giving backing to what it calls the moderate syrian opposition reaffirming that it will not be aiding the enemy. takes a look. extremist group now controls a vast part of iraq and syria and has announced a talent fate one report says

a thousand strong syrian rebel brigade arrived at the headquarters of the islamic state in a convoy of over a hundred vehicles including tank tanks ceased from syrian government forces for several years now u.s. officials have been trying to create this image of the syrian opposition as former teachers farmers and dentists fighting against bashar assad the speedy advance of the isis shows just how much more complicated the situation is the obama administration began to stumble when answering questions about the contradiction between u.s. efforts in syria and now in iraq. oftentimes the challenge is if you have former farmers or teachers. or pharmacists. who now are taking up. position against a battle hardened regime. with support from external actors that have

won that state how quickly can you get them trained washington is still determined to continue arming the syrian opposition the white house has asked congress for half a billion dollars in eight for the syrian opposition and you have many hawkish lawmakers here who want just that the white house says the forces there are now providing weapons to our moderate but what does moderate mean in that part of the world where everything came change overnight we get into this conflict between who is a radical and who's a moderate and who we're going to arm and then people change sides look what happened in iraq in recent years and it gets so confusing that even the experts don't understand it and get all tongue tied when they try to describe it in light of the onslaught. if these lawmakers state you can often hear the criticism that any exists to remove. washington may have overlooked the threat of this radical

group in washington i'm going to check on our team. next u.s. air force veteran tells us what it's like to be a drone operator stay with us and are here. from time to time i get emotional e-mails 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 a 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 a nationalistic and would you think ukrainian nationalist 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 governor's line 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 nationalists revolution are you so proud of i'm sorry but i'm not seeing your triumph but that's just my opinion. this is about making the business survive.

the. corporations the love for parishioners told kate parishioners have no feeling. for issues to care about you or me corp was weaker but often. people come to untouched forests and leave massively in the sea come on. we're not going to quit we will not stop until it is done what is more precious music more moving. 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 stopped still to this day. well alabama and texas instructs 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 with. school basis try to. see people going to be. like for this is your teaching and. it made. me. laugh though at. my old life it.

was like this. this case is. sometimes for nothing. it's not just a good story he will be just as he sees the stage eight teams with each other. they were presumably using this notion that any may old. age roughly between forty and sixty who was killed is automatically counted as a combatant. in the body count as a metric was it did not really give you

a measure of how successful you were being in fact it led you astray in assessing that and the drone strikes are the same why they're the raul metric and tell me how we're winning if every time we kill one we create ten strikes and cause a significant negative reaction by pakistani authorities and by the pakistani people. here our sense mixed on the beach great minds. that very large drone strike really up and u.s. pakistani relations i was a military guy for twenty five years i've done seven wars i'm not about being nice to the enemy. but the blowback and the aspect of political destabilization those things ultimately do make us less safe. the joint public outcry appears to have at least come bell the country's top political and military leadership to publicly denounce to

a stronger charge why this is not the least solution and you have a recourse available you can go to pakistani courts to be a cup this matter legally. in the book come get you to go to. your to the judicial system or you would we know that you are dishes system card on the chair. but. this is a bond i only wish that i had thought says otherwise. on to the. chair. which had to insert credits of the victims have decided to fight a legal battle against the cie for killing innocent civilians when we started with serving legal notices and starting the litigation my critics there were saying how can you do it on a biggish an order is no distinction and tribalism.
