r.t. international here with me with say. people in east ukraine second biggest city of lagos because they have become unbearable since the army troops began a siege and a half of the residents have abandoned their homes and with essentially no water power of food supplies the city council has announced a humanitarian crisis the first connection has also been severe and social networks are boiling with attempts to get any information on those left trapped in lugansk is some of what's been reported by senior u.n. human affairs officials insecurity and violence prevail in conflict areas resulting in a steady worsening of the humanitarian situation fighting has caused significant damage to infrastructure affecting the power and water supplies and access to basic services health supplies are running low and an estimated seventy percent of health personnel have fled and this will continue to deteriorate for as long as violence

persists the report was part of the latest the un security council session where the east ukraine crisis was of course in the spotlight but it seems kills a representative particularly trust the un data nor share the views of their own citizens there is no know how many there in crisis in ukraine as it is continued to be portrayed by our russian colleagues this is backed by some western delegations where instead trying to shift the attention towards russia's alleged role in the conflict and they've been brought up the issues of sanctions well as i do was monsters who initiated the emergency meeting of the un security council on the humanitarian crisis the russian ambassador called for swift international efforts to stop civilian suffering and open ways to bring in aid supplies. bring itself to the area down through the artillery tanks as well as grad rockets if they used. locals the same phosphorus and cluster bombs are still being used there is

indiscriminate shelling of housing blocks and critical civilian infrastructure in many small towns about eighty percent of houses have been destroyed according to the most conservative estimates more than six hundred buildings have been razed to the ground she's just attempts to see the walls or you know even getting around in areas which have an eod suffered heavy fighting is getting increasingly dangerous and this video we've just received from the region clearly shows that the pictures of purportedly show the moment when a rocket hits the highway the driver miraculously survived he says that's because he. had almost plated his calm although little was left of the view. you're going to officials will say several civilians have been killed by

a tillery fire on the outskirts of the ne as the second key anti-government stronghold now we've been getting reports of heavy fighting between kids troops and local militia there that went on into the night now the ukrainian army is said to be closing in on the city the been reports it is a bolstering its ground missile system with kids saying it is preparing for a decisive offenses were hearing that the outskirts of donetsk have been coming under fire and this is the latest which is of the devastation that the until reshelve have coursed a local resident told us people there are scared. why our need for all. food stocks have decreased severely and we haven't shortages of water and electricity in the areas close to the airport people are forced to cook their food on bonfires it's a very tense situation here the majority of people don't know what to do they can't leave and abandon all of belongings but it's terrifying to stay in. it's

normally supposed to be a pleasant summer time for the people of the nias here are some pictures of the same time the previous year ukraine's third biggest city was full of smiling faces of different colors when we hosted matches for the european football championship in twenty twelve including a semifinal now it's hard to contemplate for us let alone locals that the suburbs of the same city and now a war zone and have been reduced to looking like this just in time for the euro twenty twelve a day nears go opened a brand new international airport terminal of flights i'm now suspended and it's since been the focal point of the fighting drenches separation by the fourth month long army offensive thousands have been fleeing the conflict zone to russia forced to leave their lives and homes behind

a river national reports now from one of the border crossings. in each of these cars individual stories of anger uncertainty and loss. these ukrainians are fleeing their homes for russia after months of conflict has left well over one thousand civilians dead and reduced whole cities to rubble the people in these cars have already spend six or seven hours sitting in line waiting to cross the border which is still a kilometer away but they say they're ready to wait as they practically have no other choice but bill overclock the mark well below average of muslims made up of the national sociopathy. of living is no car got more than over the throne you don't usually many of the cars here have a sign saying they've got children on board they war doesn't discriminate between age or gender only your child will pull out your choice it's

a good game to through the. week but you know or put a little sheepish or get as close to his nose the way that little i'm going to put the question of each of you wait a minute this is where many refugees will end up when they make it across the border to russia and people here are angry. because a saddam also brought a mare but i still not all feel war she should have brought so i'm a bit from her word it really could be so but i'm scared dear it's going to go but i started. the quarter the doctor says his family has no home to go back to. stuart of the more you do. your thoughts ensure your oath before a board the no rights group over for. most of what are you in here to use if you can't be ethical. he invites me to see where they found shelter the rest so many

refugees many don't have a proper place to sleep. toujours wife also doctor tells us how she lost her home and uses to design. a before dinner. but didn't have to be regular dorm farkle. to get a. crush this could be cheap this camp is designed for a thousand people but there are at least twice as much here now every afternoon officials managed to send up to three hundred refugees from eastern ukraine to different parts of russia but every evening even more arrive these people have managed to escape but to fight for peace for long is just beginning. from russian ukrainian border. primary it has been ever figure of both the violence and the humanitarian crisis underway across ukraine's the rest of the eastern

regions he can keep up with the latest developments with all of the reports she's been sending up and artie's you tube channel. the u.s. government has hundreds of thousands of similarly innocent people on its terrorist watch list according to the latest revelations in the media but the secret information was not leaked by edward snowden this time there's a new insider in town and washington is now scrambling to track him down is going to change again with more. online news source the intercept published an article this tuesday titled barack obama's secret terrorist tracking system by the numbers where its authors jeremy scahill and wind of last cite an unnamed source in the intelligence community the documents that the sources provided to journalists cast aware light on the u.s. government's use of ever expanding federal watch list of suspected terrorists

hording to the journalists report more than forty percent of the six hundred eighty thousand individuals listed in the u.s. terrorist screening database have quote no recognized terrorist group affiliation it's about two hundred eighty thousand people their names being shared with local police agencies contractors and governments around the globe so nearly half of the people on the u.s. government widely shared database of terrorist suspects are not connected to any known terrorist group the source couldn't be edward snowden because the document featured in this latest intercept story is they did august two thousand and thirteen that would be weeks after snowden identified himself as the source of the n.s.a. leak and had already arrived in moscow there's someone new willing to take the risk of revealing what the u.s. government is doing under the umbrella of national security someone who probably wants to change something but sees no way to do that other than turning to the

press and to the public. was a blow was taking huge risks and get the truth out strong laws to protect them in the u.s. that's according to defense analyst ivan. snowden and wiki leaks they lost massive amounts of secrets and so i think they're probably very nervous that they've got another leaker and maybe they don't know who it is the u.s. government does care about this so blowers are very dedicated because they're there's all sorts of informal and formal sanctions against the whistleblowers there's supposed to be laws that protect them the but there are in the united states they're probably not. strong enough so so i you see people taking risks to make the story known. i hate the long awaited t.v. debate on scottish independence look at the heated arguments and bitter exchanges of the chain wible. also coming up on our t.v.

learn how the russian empire contributed to the allies also in the first walled war but what plans we hate the war and it will be right back. in justifying their stance they're citing all sorts of what they see as international precedents in cost of what they are coming referendum in scotland but the response that they're hearing from the one is that what you're doing is illegitimate but what we've been doing is still full of life a measure if you break into their still. what america does is right rules are made for other people for centuries like russia or all countries like this trade. but whatever america does is right because america does it.

do we speak your language i mean some of the will or not of. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little too much of angles to the stories. you hear. troy altie spanish find out more visit. thanks for staying with us here on our t.v. international the three day cease fire so far holding in gaza. looking at the latest pictures from there and it looks fairly quiet and cheers a israel decided to withdraw its army after almost a month of fighting with hamas as sides and the delegations to higher aiming to

secure a longer term deal the idea of us says it has completed its main mission which was to target hamas by destroying their hideouts and tunnels but the campaign has brought the worst devastation and civilian losses in years and there are many dissenting voices within the israeli forces policia talked to some of them. you know that there are a lot of soldiers a come back and say to yourself you know what the hell are we doing here you know why are we using so much force why are we treating them as one hundred it is one such form israeli soldier she calls herself an anti occupation activist and was one of fifty percent of troops to sign an open letter to the washington post refusing reserved for commercial law during the service i didn't talk about this thing and so when you are there you just a part of it but more and more soldiers are choosing not to be part of an army increasingly seen as the bully in the region are spending billions and billions. on

. the firm's system and there is no top of the firm to. pool. the for the river possibility overcoming five wars in eight years levanon two thousand and six thirty four days more than eight hundred people killed and in the end israel faced an even stronger hizbollah four devastating wars with a months two thousand and six eight twelve and fourteen thousand skilled international outrage and in the end israel faced a unity government between former rivals hamas and fatah foreign policy was. we had four years in the which we lost the middle east we lost. we in a way lost egypt. and we are of very isolated in the middle east and many would argue more vulnerable the latest operation protective age has done seemingly little

to protect israel in the long term you're not going to finish by trying to physically destroy hamas there's and there's nothing that indicates that it will work this time or indeed the next time and that's taking its toll on the reputation of what was once considered one of the world's most efficient fighting forces the hope is that the coming days will see a permanent cease fire in place but bottom line gaza is in tatters mistrust between israelis and palestinians is at an all time high policy r.t. tell of of. i mean israel fired well four thousand rockets the result was that nearly nine hundred palestinians have been killed in the on lot around four hundred thirty of them with children mission also damaged one hundred and sixty schools along with twenty four hospitals which have been able to fly in with injured and dying palestinians the u.n.

estimates that up to four hundred eighty five thousand gazans displaced bail then as well to from human rights watch that they had to bribe the operation a war crime. stopper ation has been a catastrophic failure. you know whether or not we will continue to see rocket launches whether or not the israeli political and military leadership feels they are able to claim success now is less direct concern than the fact that gaza's infrastructure is on the brink of collapse there has been such massive destruction in areas that the israeli military declared a no go zone that covered almost half of gaza's territory many families were not able to return to the remains of their homes not their homes but what's left of them a large number of attacks we've seen where attacks were launched without any military objects in the area large numbers of civilians getting killed by very precise advanced weapons and you know despite the fact that there were no rockets being

launched from their areas that there were no members of palestinian armed groups in those areas but what's most important from our perspective is that there be accountability for the crimes that have been committed here ceasefire or no ceasefire i mean we've seen cease fires in the past be held up as as justifications when western countries or the israeli military claims that hamas violated the cease fire in the past that has been held up as a justification and a claim that any future civilian deaths would be the responsibility of hamas for violating the cease fire and that is completely incorrect and quite dangerous what has to happen is that you know the laws of war need to stop being violated and that finally for once in gaza there needs to be criminal accountability for war crimes. the. right this war also witnessed some extraordinary moments this little girl was thought to have been killed after the house was in collapsed of

a being hit in an airstrike by some miracle rescuers pulled eight month old out of the rubble alive last week and here she is today israeli attack killed a mother and one thousand other residents of. the decision to scale back the operation follows a chorus of global condemnation spain's outrage has just seen it become the second country to ban on sales to television while britain said it's reviewing its eight billion pound weapons agreement with israel but khaled mahmood a british labor m.p. told r.t. as kevin know when he doubts his country's condemnation will go any further than words. unfortunately the drug they feed for too long they can even condemn this portion oddity of the action that's taking place with frankie muniz quite rightly said it is a war crime and the issues are so desperate about innocent people men women and

very very young children paris was if nuclear for an officer resigned initially from the government she couldn't support this anymore do you think we'll see more people doing that kind of thing or not want some help so i think you know until we sought to come to terms with those and not listen to the rhetoric but the idea of a live coverage from forward and look at what's happening on the ground it's about recognising the devastation that's taking place against innocent people civilians and children this is what this is about this is not about taking sides in a dispute that's going on about territory and who should be more this is about an unjust strike and retaliation against people who are unable to defend themselves. well british police have now spent exactly seven hundred and seventy seven days watching apple's embassy in london that's of course to make sure we see leaks founder julian as. on our website we reveal how much the efforts have cost so far.

he's overcome the probes already an active twitter user and whether you believe people should spend their time on more fruitful activities than calling with smartphones and chatting online. the first t.v. debate on scottish independence has seen the leaders of the two rival camps class just six weeks before the historic referendum alex salmond the leader of the scottish national party to gone alistair darling the head of the better together campaign artie's polly boyd heard listened to the arguments. while running up to the debate news reports were saying that alex salmon the leader of the scottish national party had been advised to remain statesman like throughout the debate but the gloves came off from both the leaders actually pretty quickly alistair darling the leader of the benteke together campaign was accused of being quite shouty throughout the debate as well perhaps the best sound bite to come out of the

evening was of alex salmond explaining why he thinks scotland should become an independent country. but we still get government but he had a bit of difficulty answering specific questions about the currency and about the economy he was asked repeatedly both by alistair darling and by members of the audience about which currency scotland would have if it couldn't retain the pound as westminster is saying that it can't he didn't have a concrete answer to that he avoided the question about what his contingency plan b. c. or d. would be another heated exchange was when alex salmond was asking alistair darling if he thinks scotland could be a successful independent country he was dodging that question pretty much as much as alexander was dodging the currency question he didn't want to give an answer and

he did manage to avoid it i don't want to see your children's future gambled away i want to have the. world in fact it's not clear and experts say that t.v. debates very rarely have any sway in these very important issues that they rarely make a difference because a lot of scots will have already made up their mind which way they want to vote. one hundred years on the world has come on rating the start of the great war with the battles which took place in western europe the main focus that's leaving the eastern front largely overlooked our g.'s entry form our sources of all of russia and the global conflict. franz ferdinand in the late gene set off a chain of events that would lead to the great war within a matter of days the great powers of europe a declared war on each other and on this day exactly a century ago or three hungary declared war on russia when it all started cranks

cheered and welcome the fighting little did they know of the horrors that lay ahead while the battle lines were drawn long before russia joined with britain and france forming the allied powers on one side and on the other side the central powers of austria-hungary in germany later joined by the ottoman empire both garia while russia fielded five million men at the start almost as much as germany and austria hungary combined and war raged everywhere and always warships delivered tons of rands with the explosion shaking the expanse of the seas conflict filled the sky city for the first time in pilots of the first war planes were regarded as he writes the breakthrough for russia came in nine hundred sixteen russian armies managed to ram through enemy lines almost a hundred kilometers into austrian territory threatened the central powers sent thirty divisions to the eastern front easing the burden for the allies in the west

from that moment to many at last the strategic advantage but it was too late for russia the people exhausted by war coupled with a weakened government to read revolution it enjoying growing support the bolsheviks to abandon their posts and let germany have whatever it wants and by nine hundred eighteen the war ended for russia but despite that the road is hard to overstate it carried on each shoulders alone the burden of the eastern front and helped end the war which would claim eighteen million lives. well as military gear changes throughout the space but within the laws to hour a probe has successfully managed to orbit a comet launched in two thousand and four that his mission will deliver priceless data to scientists it's the first space probe ever in history to operate
