a free day than just before nine am on the train traveling at its fool speed of seventy kilometers per hour the emergency brakes activates. the train stopped abruptly and the only blacked out then i realized that was suffocating i've never felt more scared in my life there was a horrible panic. the first three carriages salaam together forcing the train off the track no one inside who was prepared for impact. everyone was shocked we were all in panic there was simply nothing left from with first metric just a huge dent. eyewitnesses recall being suddenly plunged into darkness and smoke appearing stunned passengers found themselves trapped eighty meters below ground in the matter of deepest section so. i was thrown into the air there was blood on the floor heads bruised some people had broken ribs and one

person's arm was injured all in all people were hysterical we started to get out we saw a door in the tunnel wall of men eventually broke the door and we saw workers constructing a parallel tunnel they helped us to get out of. this scene here right after the accident looked completely chaotic rescue helicopters flying in the ear and couple dozen ambulances police but mostly people looking scared and shocks after managing to escape from the underground the victims say emergency teams were there in less than twenty minutes past people made their way to safety through the dark tunnels rescuers who worked to reach those still trapped within the wreckage. just in the supermarket. everyone was helping each other i wouldn't say that at that time anybody was panicking we tried to carry those injured really gently carrying them on our backs a valid point everything was good. i spent quite

a long time down there who got to the elevator and it was being used to evacuate injured people first those who could walk and then those whose trashers it wasn't until later that someone sure there's a stairway which you had to climb ourselves. more than eleven hundred people were evacuated from the crash site over one hundred hospitalized doesn't separate actually ill it will take at least two days to restore services and this busy commuter line and it will take a longer to get an answer as to how a section of railway just a decade old could be the scene of such a deadly accident my gosh there are eighty mask there are a few theories on what caused the tragedy but investigators have ruled out an act of terror and i focusing on track or carriage defects. or the moscow metro system is one of the busiest in the world and has seen a lot in its eighty year history earlier this year the foundations from

a building above fell through into the metro and you can see the large concrete blocks here luckily no one was injured in the summer of twenty thirty nearly five thousand people were evacuated from a station near red square because of an electrical fire the most tragic though in the metros recent history was four years ago two bomb blasts within a minute within minutes of each other claimed more than forty lives another eighty eight people were injured in the terror attack and the metros worst breakdown that happened in two thousand and five a power outage left over fifty stations without electricity and one of the hottest days of the year. mass will pay the price for refusing to accept an egyptian brokered cease fire that's the message from israel is that regimes its heavy bombardment of gaza the palestinian death toll has now risen to almost two hundred tens of thousands of residents in the northern and eastern guards that were to leave their homes by the israeli military on wednesday morning an apparent

warning of more strikes there are a fair report from gaza for r.t. . egypt sefer it's to facilitate a ceasefire barely got off the starting block israel formally accepted the proposal but hamas continued firing dozens of rockets saying that its terms were not met the islamic resistance movement says it never received any direct contact about a cease fire and only saw media reports the accuses egypt of sidelining it all the while in the middle of this truly asymmetric conflict between israel's advanced coordinated modern military and the palestinians disparate militant groups are the civilians on the receiving end even those in garza's hospitals five rockets targeted this hospital in north gaza but palestinians also have their own crude rockets which show not targeted and fired indiscriminately into israel not all but certainly most palestinians in gaza believe that hundreds of these crude rockets

should be fired into israel in retaliation for israel's targeting of gaza. the imbalance is evident over one hundred palestinian civilians have been killed in eight days compared to one israeli civilian there are no bomb shelters in gaza although the desire for a cease fire is universal how people here want but achieved is certainly not clear . land nothing to build up. her mother don't hug now. listen all. the way with the meal. we ever had the love of money how to handle it on your health you don't. live near the live in the. midnight what are you as i am a lot funnier an. eighteen year old sees things very differently a palestinian student from northern gaza his brother is

a militant with hamas as armed wing. of the whole form. using methods would probably be a serious concern for for lawyers and for human rights workers and they might use it to serious violations of international law. a university lecturer and father of eight has lived through four such israeli operations since two thousand and six he's torn over garza's rocket firings rocket it's only just a tool that the palestinian can react to what gets me. in killing and suffering for everybody and i really do care about my children about my family above the safety of my family so i don't like the rockets but sometimes the people

of laws to do use what's available to them in order to do. in order to resist the occupation. but both sides in this escalation insist they're acting in self-defense and neither is known for wanting to be the first to back down no matter what the pressure at home or abroad carry fear r.t. gaza well these are the latest pictures released by hamas in the red circle here apparently shows there are rockets hitting israeli targets. on the military didn't stop its attacks rejecting the truce that was proposed by egypt and later excepted by israel tensions grew even higher when a hamas rocket claimed the first israeli fatality in over a week of fighting. on tuesday israel's foreign minister known for his hawkish views called for the country to go all the way he vowed the offensive would only

end when the i.d.f. gained full control of garza adding that it is the only way of dealing with hamas and islamic jihad terror we'll keep you updated of course on any developments. the latest on the crisis in eastern ukraine is still to come here on r.t. international. the regional reeling from deadly artillery attacks by kiev's forces all fueling a refugee exodus in the east. meanwhile british intelligence has a wide diversity of tools for cyber spying and data manipulation that's what's been revealed in a document leaked by whistleblower edward snowden a social network accounts are no longer private agents and can access data even hidden and disable the page if they find it suspicious they can even tap into skype calls and use private e-mail to send spoof letters and how much you spend on e bay or what online polls you have participated in all of this is also visible to

the agents and they can even manipulate the results of the voting sarah firth spoke to the campaign is that sea search practice is deeply illegal. there's more than one hundred projects in the listing for g c excuse joint threat research intelligence group they've all got quite eccentric code names angry pirates a tool that will permanently disable a target's account on their computer now in a statement to r.t. he say that they are not at fault or despite what g c h q is that campaigners are saying that if true the allegations are extremely serious if this is true and have proven to be true it's a huge deal because again you used to see if you're actually being involved in propaganda and trying to manipulate the brain the best for them to protect us their financial security not to read online poll either way the latest late can certainly reignited the calls the birth oversight. activities it's an argument that we've

heard many times before and it's not one that's looking likely to quieten down any time soon so. reporting from london meanwhile the british government is far from asking the intelligence community to limit their powers a new security law that has been already approved by the house of commons will further expand monitoring capability making mobile companies keep customers private data for up to twelve months only gosling an investigative journalist says the government is interested in watching everyone. well it's certainly not going to protect citizens what what how on earth can you protect british citizens by eroding our civil liberties and we just had an announcement this week from david cameron the business spend one billion pounds on violence so wrong of the running back he said norma's industry which is out of control he's actually wants to spend more money on surveillance they've been doing this in concert with the n.s.a. for so many years now that companies like google twitter microsoft facebook are

actually almost part of that surveillance system not interested anymore in going to the courts in order to ask a judge if they want to put somebody under surveillance they just assume that everybody is under surveillance. we've got plenty more stories for you at r.t. dot com including the first medic to protest against force fading find out on our web site the story of the nurse that stands up for the detainees right a hunger strike or so that. lead to a google robot which can carry up to one hundred eighty kilograms and move at a speed of over thirty kilometers per hour out it was amazing doesn't it interfere has already been tested during military drills in hawaii and the details for you on right. now this is the aftermath of an airstrike of the town of snow in eastern ukraine one of the bombs fell on an apartment block causing

its partial collapse locals joined together with rescuers to help those trapped under the rubble. but it was. just a mass. of others you would go to if you or your. or your questions i i i i i i i i i i i was out boy is now in hospital with seven others but almost a dozen civilians have been confirmed killed the government is denying responsibility saying this was the work of an an identified jet but scenes like these are repeatedly daily across the east fuelling a refugee exodus. reports. uprooted driven

out of desperation these people have been flooding into the. past several weeks trying to escape the bloody war that has engulfed the south east of ukraine this refugee camp is literally just several meters away from the ukrainian border people staying here war is still very much a part of daily routine they say recently the artillery fire at night has gotten closer and the memories of the bombardment back at home do not grow any less. but.

you know the children may appear to be immune to the horrors happening in their homeland playing and carrying on as usual but once prodded they show deep emotional scars. just like protocol. many who love their loved ones behind haven't heard from them for several days. refugee camps are simply temporary ports for these people who have to find new jobs new houses new ways. to live not because they didn't like the lives they had but

because they were denied those by sensors fighting it in a cold call r t rostov on don region the marine has been tweeting about her stay at the camp and you can follow her she documents the struggle of those forced out of their homes. now a new world bank has been born in brazil the result of the bric summit underway there the new financial institution is to challenge the west's financial monopoly to the benefit of the five emerging economies artie's paul scott is there for us. well russian president vladimir putin concludes his a latin america tour later on wednesday with the conclusion of the brics summit but he's also set to meet with the latest of the south american community of nations that's their equivalents of the european union he's going to meet with the leaders of bolivia uruguay and venezuela for example amongst many others now these countries their populations equate to around four hundred million people if you combine that with the three

billion people represented by the five brics countries then president vladimir putin has met with the ladies representing on behalf of the world's population on his latin america tour it all started the breathless two on friday with a visit to cuba he then of course went with an unannounced visit to nicaragua before stopping off in argentina and then finally a in brazil brics summit hey in forty leza hosted by brazilian president dilma rousseff who you may remember was a victim of n.s.a. surveillance size revealed by edward snowden around twelve months ago now ever since then she's been championing for change to the internet on the way that it's governed in order to protect people's privacy well earlier i managed to ask a question i asked her what changes she would like to see what changes we have seen in the last twelve months now she told me that privacy is a fundamental civil right she also says that common laws should be extended to the nets and they should be extended to web use reset doesn't believe that one country

has the right to lead the way when it comes to internet governance and she feels that each country should have the right to its own governance to ensure privacy well we are the half way stage of the brics summit hey in forty lays out what exactly has been achieved will russia agree to write off ninety percent of cuba's soviet era debt the remaining ten percent will be reinvested in joint infrastructure projects in the country there was also a symbolic meeting with formulated for telecast right in argentina the two countries signed a peaceful nuclear power deal that will see russia help in areas such as design construction operation and decommission. of nuclear power plants in rio president putin attended the football world cup final and received responsibility for the next competition the tournament is in russia in two thousand and eighteen while at the bric summit the nation signed off on a long awaited one hundred billion dollars development bank seen as a rival to the i.m.f. world bank and global dominance of the u.s. dollar it's on top of numerous trade deals so it may have taken less than a week but president vladimir putin no doubt hoping that his whistle stop tour will

cement russia latin america toys. but as you times correspondent pepe escobar says the brics financial institution will create sustainable development for its members what we have in our days is the predominance of college casino capitalism in fact which is a speculative capitalism which you know hot money a traverse in the world digital speeds enormous and this has nothing to do with productive investment and sustainable development what the brics are the brics are trying to steer the debate and in fact the conditions of all is an investment towards productive capitalism now that they have this mechanism of a developing bank in their contingency reserve a mechanism they can help all their countries up part from themselves in terms of

infrastructure projects and sustainable developments. if you hungry for more financial spending kin into artie's boom bust program with their host every night next hour. companies are accusing food giant nestlé of making millions of expensive ordinary people be companies taking water from a canyon in california to bottle and sell but as the region faces a third year of drought activists want to stop it dr peter glick president of the pacific institute says a great debate is looming on the case one of the problems with this polling plant is that every bit of water that goes to the bottling plant is water that's taken away from discos or ecosystem there's also concern among some of the local

communities about the impacts on groundwater in that they will building the groundwater. for all the uses in the local area by this water is bottled it's put on trucks it's shipped out of the community. it's not available to the local community so it's increasing a source of tension in concert a move in the area no water in the desert is very rare and this is an example where perhaps we should question the value of putting a bottled water plant in the desert. a quick look at some other news now. three rockets have hit a clinic located to the south from libyan capital tripoli as a result of the bombardment at least five people were injured and no one was killed but the building has suffered great destruction. and that's just a couple of days after the country's main airport was hit by multiple rockets as rival militias battle for control of the airport their balance between pilot military units in libya has been rising since the fall of moammar gadhafi in twenty

eleven and the taliban suicide bomber in afghanistan's east in paktika province has killed nearly ninety people it follows another deadly attack in the capital kabul which left two presidential media staff dead the paktika bombing targeted a busy market during rush hour officials say most of the victims are women and children political analyst chris bambery says this latest to sell raises a big question mark over afghanistan's security future. this is quote a worrying attack on a province which is being relatively peaceful up until now where the afghan security forces are going to go in upper hand and it comes at a very bad time where the americans are desperately trying to broker a deal between the two rival presidential candidates do adore his claim he's been treated for victory by the way actually draws and ashraf ghani who's clearly is the victor and that deal already comes unstuck and this will just fuel the concerns that really come to american and nato forces in this year of the afghans and not

a toll on top of the security situation and indeed the country can put polarizing on why yes which is what's happening with the two camps of the two rival presidential candidates now global diplomacy has seen a shift away from its classic dry languages russia's ambassador to the u.n. but tardy talking had a waspy back and forth with his american counterpart artie's miniport i found out who had the last word in this high profile banter. the russian and american ambassadors to the united nations usually keep their negotiations and debates within the chambers of the world body headquarters however a tit for tat between the two diplomats is currently playing out in the public domain barks by something written in the pages of a glossy magazine the august issue of vanity fair features an article on samantha power in which she strikes a bit of a verbal jabs against her russian counterpart here's the context the reporter says he reminded miss power that ambassador vitaly churkin jokingly asked her if she'd

join the russian punk group pussy riot after she met with the two famous band members and bassett her power says she told mr churkin that their first concert stop on tour would be where russia holds its political prisoners though regrettably she can't sing the u.s. envoy claims she got the last word in that conversation saying it's what passes as a small victory all with only the verbal jabs and snarky miss ended there it doesn't in a statement posted on facebook ambassador churkin says while it did stoke his vanity to see himself referenced in the article he found powers pussy riot tore stop comment to be rather lame saying quote they never performed in guantanamo after all ouch a reference to america's biggest stain on international law and human rights violations ambassador churkin also sets the record straight saying quote i called samantha and explained to her that russia did not have any political prisoners she

seemed to be amused and promised to get back to me on this she never did unquote ambassador churkin claims that mr power told him he got the upper hand in that exchange but he says he will claim it as a small victory hopefully when the two diplomats meet once again face to face at the u.n. there will be no hard feelings and the debates can go back to revolve around issues such as creating more peace and less calm. very important to our new york and we've got more debate coming up for you here on r.t. international where we've got breaking the set and if you watching us in the u.k. it's going underground with afshin rattansi.

every global humanitarian crisis and rebuilding this country's entire infrastructure but apparently one thing it can't buy is a funk is hope. fully functional fighter jet c. for the last eight years u.s. taxpayers have spent a whopping three hundred ninety eight billion dollars on a fleet of f. thirty five joint strike fighters the next generation of lethal military planes the only problem however is that over the years the development and construction of this plane has turned into the poster child for military waste not only is the program seven years behind schedule but it's basically ins and billions of dollars over budget and is now expected to cost over one trillion dollars over the course of the next five decades but hey at least we have a plane that will spread american freedom across the world skies right now actually no it turns out the department of defense still has isn't sure if the heap of metal is even safe to fly so the f. thirty five was supposed to make its long awaited debut at the international air show in england this week.
