was very strong russia's foreign ministry condemned violence and the spilling over saying that if it happens again russia keeps its right to defend its citizens and its security and while ukrainian crisis aides now as we can see spillover to neighboring russia people from ukraine. running they say a war zone and russia is amend this to nation where the where the way they go is you can see it's very close we're now in the city center and shall have been just just very near rather i mean several other border instance recently on saturday russian border guards were fired on from the ukrainian side of the border their car was riddled with bullet holes but no one was injured. but this is the same area in the rust off region a week earlier rockets from ukraine had a russian border checkpoint there which is

a major gate for refugees fleeing the war zone. trying to put on but as a school to become absolutely distraught that was. not it would be you you're. already there don't you think the more you. don't have the movie cover there you go and you must move or you. at least twelve of mine workers were also killed after shells fell on their settlement near donetsk residential areas in the city itself were also targeted on the reports of casualties there and anti-government forces said thirty civilians died in nearby marring which was shelled in similar fashion on sunday you may find the following video disturbing the bodies in plain sight near done time in the nets in our strikes have done serious damage to

people's homes residents say the city is quickly becoming a ghost town with major congestions on the roads from so many people trying to leave at once. president putin on the german chancellor agreed the ukrainian crisis is getting worse they say the contact group consisting of russia ukraine the. government fighters needs to resume peace discussions putin and merkel also call for an immediate cease fire on the return of international monitors to eastern ukraine. yes military operation is targeting many different areas across eastern ukraine on our teeth dot com right now we're keeping track of what's happening across the region and beyond with the details of ukrainian time. in the. run. through sporting matters germany has just won the twenty fourteen fifo world cup

defeating argentina one nil and extra time i'm glad to say our correspondent paul scott is in rio de janeiro joins me now live paul good evening to the atmosphere i see the fireworks going off it looks pretty good there. yes you have been a all the walt champions it's a good thing this so they have become full just appeared next to the when the people world cup in south america it was a tight eighty if that against to take that extra time which he did to set the two sides on to the full and complete things. so it was enough to win a little just because there was a thousand spectators inside the famous microcosmic him but you can see behind me including tillman chancellor angela merkel now willing argentina supporters outnumbered. by far outnumbered their counterparts from germany it's those fans who

have made the journey from europe they were celebrating in rio de janeiro this saving the trophy has just been presented to germany and as you can see the celebrations now in full swing this evening now also inside the stadium is russian president vladimir putin because of course official responsibility for the fee for world cup is now being transferred to russia to host the competition in fool he has time and with the coats in coming down the coats and closing on brazil twenty fourteen attention is now turning to russia. until eighteen and my colleague neil harvey is in it because one of the future host cities. twenty eight hundred feet from both our ladies and gentlemen will be organized was back in two thousand and ten it was all smiles as russia defied the odds to be named host of the twenty eight world cup.

victory and sleep promotion is going to be the. but another big selling point was russia's ambitious plan to build several new stadia in which will cook games could be played so four years on how exactly is not planned looking well of the twelve stadiums to be used for and yet under construction there in kaliningrad for grout nizhny novgorod and some mara who should be rolling soon enough with those projects the jewel to be underway by the end of this year and meanwhile the progress that some of the other venues has given russia real cause to celebrate well here in sochi there should be no problem whatsoever the fish stadium is tried and tested during the olympics it proved itself to be a great success that will be one or two slight alterations needed in order to turn it into a football stadium but there are only minor i think i can say for chalk this one up as a success for the host nation this is the khazan arena and boy is this

a versatile stadium because last year they hosted the world student games that next year they'll put into swimming pools for the staging of the pheno world championships and after that it will be converted into a football stadium. in the russian capital there are two very different projects taking place with a new stadium going up just as an old one gets to lay down first there's the spot tax stadium a high tech high cost ground that in order to protect its pitch from the harsh russian winters is using the very latest technologies and they include football's equivalent of a giant hairdryer it is. blows through the profile of the shore west on the soil heating it will pass and bore hole to the sufis keeping the temperature as it should be and also we were going to have named large lights in his legs that will cover half the pitch of the pitch will be in lights all day

every day so here is the spot act stadium in all its glory the playing surface is looking absolutely spectacular while the infrastructure is just days away now from completion it took four years of work and four hundred thirty million dollars of investment to get us to this point and it sees the stadium spot tack on the brink of becoming the new kid on moscow's footballing block but if you're one of those founds who prefers your stadium to be a little bit bigger and the haps have a little bit more history than there really is only one place to go. and that steer to the luzhniki which in twenty eight team will host both the opening game at the top of it and the big one the world cup final however in order to look the part for her big occasion the ground old lady of russian football is having to undergo a monumental make over. a mind make of what i really mean is it's been completely gutted which is

a bit how some fans must feel at the thought of losing a stadium that's filled with so many memories just like the nineteen eighteen win michigan that bear the tear to the i at the moscow olympics. the fun shouldn't be too sound because while the insides might be new with the songs of the luzhniki set to remain which means that it's not really goodbye more a case of c.d.c. . reporting for. it's all coming up in four years' time but before that we board news coming up of course here after a quick break an hour to interest. in this same logic that the united states pursued in afghanistan you know for the army relatively unknown a graphic from the jackie dean insists albeit that it was good enough for the

united states and look what happened a couple of here is a lie again the problem with american policy is a lack of staying power after the soviet union left afghanistan the united states essentially forgot about afghanistan that the pakistanis moved in to fill the void with the taliban that led to the growth of al qaida with all the subsequent consequences this was the critique of pulling out of iraq as well. as the media leave us so we leave the media. by the see bush and security play your part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. .

their welcome back to the program israel's military crackdown on hamas continues to escalate with a rising death toll it says operation protective edge is aimed at militants in gaza but according to u.n. estimates almost eighty percent of the victims are civilians at least fifty palestinians were killed in the israeli bombardment on saturday night bringing the total number of lives lost in the offensive to one hundred sixty caught in the file and people are fleeing their homes but not everyone has been able to escape the deadly attacks and this really are a strike on the home of gases police chief has left at least eighteen people dead and another forty five injured over five hundred seventy houses and eight mosques have been either damaged or destroyed in gaza since the offensive started meanwhile mortar fire from syria has struck near an i.d.f. position in central golan heights there are no reports of damage but israel

responded by firing three missiles at syrian military targets. thanks. i. was. was. although they go. along by the munting death toll the u.n. has called for a cease fire in gaza wherever the conflict shows no sign of winding down with israel's prime minister vowing to continue the operation against hamas binyamin netanyahu has accused fighters of using gas a residence assuming shields running the group first full responsibility for the

civilian deaths hari fear rip. from the weekend. on a visit to gaza's main hospital we met four year old shame mastery she was injured in how she became collateral damage in a drone strike. how will. that. furnace that's had that. well i wouldn't going to tell them how did you. 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 red one that was targeted last night. it was all.

done is all this is. done 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 it's going off to hamas militants those ledges are 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. so subtle from the. moment of. the most definite that israel has made clear that it's not interested in

restraining its operation on gaza so long as hamas rocket fire continues to see gaza. four israeli soldiers were wounded saturday night during a brief raid against the rocket launching site in northern gaza it was the first time i.d.f. troops are known to have entered gaza in the offensive on this or to fall asleep reports the instant triggered fears of a full scale ground invasion. twenty soldiers briefly entered northern gaza the i.d.f. says that the purpose of the mission was to destroy rocket launching sites we understand that there was a brief exchange of fire during which four israeli soldiers were likely 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 for me witnessing the amassing of tanks and armored 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 are ready for a ground offensive but that ultimately this is a political decision. was really missile struck over a thousand sites in gaza this week and hamas is vowing to avenge those attacks the militant group has launched over five hundred rockets since monday i was in the start of israel a strike caused an explosion on a petrol station leaving one person seriously injured a must also fired multiple rockets tell of even jerusalem but no casualties have been reported israel's missile system iron dome intercepted many of the missiles keeping damage to a minimum earlier kevyn orr and spoke to an idea of a spokeswoman whether i asked whether she considers israel's far more liquid toxin gases to be proportionate to the threat. 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 sausan civilians were killed in gaza that's wrong twenty times more than the israeli civilian death toll is israel's reaction to rockets fired by hamas measured unjustified 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 a day ago then why because i don't as you say yes margaret but why then is the un

security general urging israel to show restraint but prime minister netanyahu is vowing to step off the offensive so international colds 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 but israel's offensive us calls public outrage across the globe with must rallies held in the u.k. australia and norway those protests were peaceful for the fourth or very palestine demonstration the french calculus turned violent several hundred people are protesting against israel in support of residents of gaza stone throwing rioters have surrounded a synagogue in paris it's believed up to one hundred jews are trapped inside crowds have also clashed with police the polaroids to the scene. also

plenty more few on line right now including there is a super moon lighting up the sky. it looks much bigger and brighter than usual on this kohl's millions of people to crane their necks to see that from the first of three such moons expected this summer head to r.t. dot com you'll find the full story of. the chilean poets walk along the streets of santiago as funds used moving project troops to create the illusion this is how the anniversary of a nobel prize winner was marked by devoted readers all the details on the footage. we've been to more of the world's news now at least seven people have been killed and dozens have been injured in clashes between rival militias in libya heavy fighting broke out for control of the country's main airport skirmishes between rival islamist groups have been on the rise since the beginning of the army bringing them to eleven one person has died and eighteen others have been injured

if there's anything we're afraid of in the modern western world isn't al qaeda or aids or something like that it's words just words especially on the internet morning radio shock jock and the cumia from the opie and anthony show has been fired for a massive twitter rant that he made against a woman who believe that the radio host was taking mocking photographs of her and got aggressive with them who may claim to just be taking pictures of time square now normally what you do outside of work shouldn't matter but with public personalities i can see how people want them to have good behavior all the time but the problem is that guys like him are put on the airwaves to have bad behavior what does the sirius x.m. company expect from people they put on air to be wild and raunchy this is typical corporate boardroom mentality when we want morning gigi's to be really crazy and shocking but not too crazy and show king hey i don't have

a horse in this race i actually think the opie and anthony show is pretty dismal but when i see someone getting fired for wacky shock jock stuff that is in a way kind of part of his job well it just seems very hypocritical to me but that's just. i marinate join me on. that impartial and financial commentary interview and much much. only on the bus and only on.

hello and welcome to worlds apart the rising anti-americanism in russia and the increasing risk to fall be in the united states may come across as two sides of the same coin but are they both rooted in reality and how does one tell apart constructive criticism from geopolitical malignancy well to discuss that i'm now joined by robert freedman a visiting professor of political science at johns hopkins university dr friedman thank you very much for being here it's my pleasure now you know one of those people called criminologist you studied the soviet union later russia for several decades and i'm sure you would agree with me that. there has always been a considerable level of mistrust between in our two nations but i wonder if the

rhetoric used by both sides has ever been asked colorful and asked passive aggressive as it is nowadays well i think we're almost back to the worst of the cold war under. as now and the early reagan days in the early one nine hundred eighty s. after the soviet invasion of afghanistan that's when relations really hit their bottom we're not there yet but if we continue in this direction will be there well i just used this word passive aggressive and i think you know both sides seem to believe that they are defending their national interest or that national values and see the other side as an aggressor but it seems to me that this aggression is a very different caliber because the united states has the whole list of countries that if the sensually rule in three intervention whereas russia is charged with one count of quote unquote bloodless and exception is that really fear to compare the two well you know we haven't seen the end of ukraine yet but if you go back into

history you know russian then soviet intervention in. afghanistan in hungary and even it is germany in one nine hundred fifty three not exactly very pleasant the u.s. intervention was in afghanistan in two thousand and one and that was after nine eleven and the jury's still out on what's going to happen there the big american mistake of course was in iraq but dr friedman i think you were replying to my question is very telling here because most examples of the quote unquote soviet aggression in fact he was an example that he just mentioned the invasion of afghanistan it dates back to the soviet times where is all the examples that russia can cite it's exam of american aggression a very very recent isn't that actually. an instance of how americans really view russia through the prism of the soviet union you know seeing russia as these

ghost or the bogeyman are all of the. can aggression and the american policy is a very much current well i'm not sure i'd agree with you on that i mean there was an effort for cooperation between the us and russia but in two thousand and six if you remember after hamas won the elections in the palestinian legislative the said assembly mr putin said hamas is not on our terrorist list number one and it's a big blow to american foreign policy in the middle east number two that's an example which is followed after that of what i would call mr putin zero sum game diplomacy where what russia gains the u.s. loses and vice versa i heard you say many times that putin is a logically trying to play this zero sum game while obama is going for a win win but i wonder who just who actually won from obama's because policies.
