a very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here on our team to national we're live from moscow this afternoon at the top of this hour clashes have erupted in central kiev between protesters and police covering the city center with black smoke as people burned tires police and special units who arrived at the scene and managed to rein in the mayhem it's believed protesters attempted to attack officers and firefighters with projectiles trying to push them away from i don't square to remind our viewers it's the exact same plays that saw the start of the anti government uprising back in november last year that eventually ended in the overthrew the then president yanukovych people were in tires of sending planes of thick black smoke all over the city center the standoff began when city authorities are trying to dismantle tents and barricades right we're now joined live by martin

a my colleague he's an expert on eastern european the relations at the university of london mr crawley thank you very much for joining us we we've already been there six months into this new government in ukraine which is brought to power by a popular uprising on that same square now was being tired burdening what do you make of that. it reveals that the situation is still tense that president poroshenko is not really in control of the whole country elements the factions which although he doesn't agree with them. they are difficult to understand why the police would want to remove these demonstrators because those didn't stray has been there for months so why the move to remove them from the area by guns where they would see that as a challenge to the legitimacy of the protesters revolution is a scene he saw so from part of central point of view is another problem he's

concentrating on eastern ukraine. but very game there really the capital kiev is not in fact completely safe from a government called. social networks have been posting pictures all of police and special units arriving on my down square you know armed with guns isn't exactly the sort of old authorities were accused of doing anyway. it really is very strange that must be something behind it because you wouldn't expect the police to be armed in that way because they would presumably see the protesters being on their side as being the side of president poroshenko and the people who are now in control of ukraine but obviously somebody is giving the order to remove these protesters they see them as a nuisance. if they want to clear the square and go back to

a normal life but from the point of view of the protesters they're going to stay there because they see the revolution as they call it only half done. they they will not go away until they have. questions their lives become they want a better standard of living. there will not go away until their promises of a better standard of living and a ukraine which is different from the previous ukraine under president yanukovych speaking of all acute you know government delivering on the promises that they those protesters wanted ukraine's economy is right now in tatters i mean prices for basic utilities are going up unemployment and so forth how is this going to affect the mood in ukraine now and how those promises are they not being made is that a fair accusation towards the government. all the government can say is the

situation is critical we're doing our best we're getting help from abroad and so on but they cannot deliver on the promises made during the revolution because economically as you say the country's you know a very very poor state and this will continue as long as the conflict in eastern ukraine continues because that has to be full first that is the first priority for the government and that's an important industrial part of the country it's important for the economy and it's more or less it stopped functioning so therefore the major problem the president is to provide services food and medical services for the rest of the population that's really difficult for the government to do because it's short of money the economy isn't really slowing down is declining quite rapidly fortunately this summer. so the situation is so desperate but this situation has to improve before the order of the winter because if it is

not increased as you see if you wish to roll politically by then there's going to be a real crisis if you. will even right they much in russian expert at the university of london thank you very much for your thoughts on this. last band a number of nations from russia's food market it comes in response to sanctions imposed by western nations over the crisis in ukraine but all of it is here to tell us more on that. peter so it looks like of the first serious response from russia has just been announced tell us more about what you know. well russia has banned the import of foodstuffs from those countries that backed sanctions against russia so these are the united states canada australia norway and perhaps most significantly the e.u. talking about over twelve billion euros a year worth of trade done from the e.u.

to russia with regarding these type of food stuffs the things that are going to be caught up in this import ban of meats fruit vegetables dairy products and fish and the bomb that was announced by prime minister dmitry medvedev this is set to to last for one year another reaction here in europe as you can imagine anybody working in the agriculture sector they're quite concerned twelve billion of course across the e.u. block it's an awful lot of money to lose from your from your economy here in germany the trade union that deals with foreign exports and wholesales has said this could put the german economy at risk especially the agriculture sector in any of the sectors linked to the transport of those foodstuffs in the way mia they're apparently putting together a plan to put forward to the the e.u. demanding compensation for the money that they're going to loosen their economy from this ban. being able to export things into russia and finland finland could

perhaps be the worst affected nation they do a lot of trade when it comes to dairy produce with russia around twenty five percent of all of their agricultural trade is to russia they could loose it's estimated up to one billion euros so huge amount of cash from there and the most recent one that we've heard also heard from greece where the main opposition party there service or has said that greece the greek government blindly following sanctions being put forward by brussels in washington is going to have a detrimental and perhaps devastating effect on the country's agriculture sector so that's the way it looks and the reactions coming in from europe people not happy if you work in the farming or the foodstuffs industry well essentially following those reactions f. course here keeping us up with and the reaction coming in from europe and a broader picture out of the thank you very much for the latest. why despite the e.u. and the us saying the step is counterproductive political commentator for the e.u.

reporter magazine and van den ski believes it's a miracle the west could have predicted to win to put russia on the blacklist is the only logical answer because our as a president of a country. mr putin has to defend russian interests and if the voice of russian diplomacy is not heard and still there is no negotiated solution there is no there is no investment people are not really in gauged into negotiated solution of ukraine the reason no obvious answer than to have a sort of a mirror like reaction there europeans who will pay the bills it's not a bad news for russian speakers it's basically is a very good news for russian agricultural producers because the world tried to do their best to feel that gap. but the u.s. has admitted it's a media claim so who was responsible for the shooting down of flight m.h. seventeen in ukraine was based on nothing more than postings made in social media

washington has blamed the catastrophe in which almost three hundred people died on antigovernment fighters in eastern ukraine we talked to former pilot robert stein who has a lot of questions about the u.s. evidence. the latest military intelligence evidence the americans were showing to the public is not the best evidence they have when they have a satellite over the crash site when they have radar data when they have the airport warning and control system station in germany and they were flying around why are there not opening their files that is also really really suspicious and in my eyes they're hiding something or they know the truth better not willing the truth because the truth is too ugly for them they use every dirty trick in the book to blame it for russia if you could show a clear evidence that russia would be the perpetrator they would have it published immediately. ukrainian m.p.

and self-proclaimed vigilante or locally call has the eye of an international human rights watchdog amnesty international has accused wade a deputy of the rather deputy of abducting and ill treating people in eastern ukraine which is a violation of international legal standards. and his associates have been on a mission across the self-proclaimed republics abducting and threatening people with jail for allegedly links to what they call separatists and terrorists. a ceasefire in gaza is still holding its fear that that won't be for much longer that's up to the sides fail to agree on extending the truce a month long conflict has already claimed up to one thousand nine hundred lives most of the victims are palestinian civilians and as correspondent terry feel every palls only a handful of them are lucky enough to get adequate medical help. every day

patients arrive from gaza to palestinian hospitals in jerusalem and the west bank the marcus said hospital in east jerusalem has received dozens of cases since the latest conflict erupted in this room he is six years old patient that was two weeks ago he has multiple business skull fracture after the bombing of his house here to see unconscious of the environment. in his first few days here khalid's life was maintained by it until it has made a solid recovery doctors say and is now able to move his legs. his mother nihad has been by her side for almost three weeks only one relative is allowed to accompany such medical cases from gaza but they're only granted one day's access to israel.

i cannot sleeve the hospital because my son in because i have a permit to remain in israel for just one day because when i leave i show them the medical records of the crossing and they let me pass into gaza it is not easy to come out of gaza it is not easy to be coordinated there is checkpoints that are procedures that israelis have and therefore we're not getting enough patience although there are thousands upon thousands of patients we need support and help forty two year old pfizer was in her home preparing dinner for have family when her house was suddenly demolished upon i asked if she felt lucky to be outside of the outer receiving expert tree. was situation in the gaza strip is an absolute disaster how can i feel lucky when my people are dying. over one thousand palestinians have been injured in gaza getting medical treatment outside of its overstretched health system is like winning the lottery three year old young mean

a boob job or survived an attack on his family home in gaza as they gathered for the first night of the islamic festivals. in eighteen members family was wiped out leaving just this one child little yeah i mean still calls out for his favorite sublime his older sister he doesn't know she's being killed along with all the others a relative. has lived through six wars between the palestinians and israel. i do see either israel or the palestinians as winning we the citizens of the for the for war everybody is a loser whoever thinks of peace is the true human being. these patients are lucky to have temporarily escaped gaza to receive the very best in medical treatment many are looking forward to returning to their families in gaza but awaiting them is a horrified and devastated community. perisher are two. in the

u.k. the foreign office minister baroness warsi has resigned over the government's support of israel's actions calling it morally indefensible the move comes after a number of large demonstrations were held in the country against the offensive in gaza artie's assesses the public opinion. on the streets of britain israel's actions have been deeply divisive there have been a number of rallies in support of israel but they've been outnumbered by pro palestinian protests. so many points the conflict in gaza is hitting close to home the latest hugo poll shows that almost two thirds of the british public sixty two percent believe that the israeli government is committing war crimes while the hof of brit's see israel's bombing of the gaza strip as unjustified now the u.k. leader is under mounting pressure to outline a more robust israel policy of three four weeks of pictures of dead children of

families been reduced to nothing the homes as rubble of course are to be achieved if the people start to tell you the british government actually has been quite surprising in how how resistant it is towards criticizing israel david cameron i mean you were he was opposition leader two thousand and six much more critical about the invasion of lebanon even when he came into power he was much more critical but this time it was a much more cautious response david cameron has backed the un school detonation of israel's shelling of a un school shelter in gaza as a memorial now but stopped short of agreeing that it was a criminal act as a strong pro is ready lobby it just so happens that lots of the rich donors of the tory party a more sympathetic towards his row than they are its powder snow these activists from london's palestine action group took a radical stand by scaling the grief of an israeli drone manufacturer in the midlands calling for a boycott of arms sales to israel britain has issued forty two million pounds worth

of arms export licenses to israel i downing street spokesperson has said that those arms exports are now under review that ministers have resisted mounting calls to impose a blanket dome symbiote go on israel saying that it would hinder progress in the middle east peace process. pony boy. coming up later in the program snowed in the is in russia to stay off the thing in two months early in june twenty third teen in the n.s.a. whistleblower is finally granted a residence permit for three years a price point and we'll bring you the details on that later this hour. plus don't steal the stats say swallow be a lot of police a raid on a massive cannabis up farm outside moscow all that and more just after the break.

really knows what's inside the. welcome back this is laura t. international according to his lawyer and us a whistleblower edward snowden has been granted a three hour residence permit in russia he fled to russia more than a year ago off to have been disclosed the grable surveillance projects maintained by the u.s. and u.k. artist made in a question about joins me now live with the full details but do you know what exactly does this development mean for edward snowden well as these reports have come from his lawyer. who says that received a residence permit which is valid for three years mr snowden may now move freely across the country as well as travel abroad but what's more important is that

according to another you. may actually get a russian citizenship believe in the future now after of the former n.s.a. contractor leaked sounds that if you were asked intelligence from washington. with the government property and also right communication of national defense information and in june twentieth. in moscow airport in london a transit zone coming from hong kong and his final destination was aqua door however the u.s. authorities that council passed that allowed to the leaker getting stranded in the transit zone off the airport for more than a month. after which russia grant temporary asylum and that happened on the first of august. of of it what the latest on that three residence permit given to edward snowden thank you very much for that update. a

russian id company has discovered the half a million phones across the globe are infected with malware allowing them to be controlled remotely with everything from your banking your passwords your text message could even be spied on my colleague neil harveys spoke with a member of the company that uncovered the security breach how do they do that sort of imitating well known there are. two well known companies who try to mimic to. deeds to well known or software applications or plug ins. or sort of this and i'm i right in thinking that it's not just kind of reading your phone it gives them quite a lot of kind of control over it at the same time you're correct basically you get access to pretty much everything you have on your phone or those criminals will use

it to to mining via. it's quite easy to imagine their. prime something in interest in the least they could potentially use it to. do something more significant than just doing mining and i just wonder does that perhaps a good defense against this kind of. if you've got a very old fashion fear that doesn't even connect to the internet then that this movie one hundred percent secure would be your old phone. computer science engineer and activist jeremy's than a man believes there's so many phones were infected because they were already designed to be easily spied upon. it is apparently the first time that we see on such a large scale a computer virus spreading on the so-called smart phones the real news here is the scale and the sophistication of this attack but by itself it is not really surprising there is a very high responsibility from the manufacturers of the devices whether it's the

hardware of the software manufacturers in fact for the last years there's been turning those pocket computers into black boxes that we cannot open this closed ness of the device enables on one hand surveyance by government as we see with the n.s.a. revelations by it was snowden and on the other hand enabled this kind of attacks that the user cannot suspect and against the user cannot do anything. and i read our website from bad to worse at the fukushima nuclear plant the five. everyone was in the one of the affected reactors melted at the height of the crisis meaning it could now take a lot longer to decommission catch up with the full story online. we've got pictures from devastating at the quake in china as the death toll they continue to rise at the images from these and other stories in invision section.

he wanted to puff about a large can of the russian police expected little more than a routine raids and arrests to be made what they didn't count on was a formidable army and they way you got a piece going off takes up the story it started as an ordinary drugs read investigators were checking reports about wild cannabis growing on a private property in central russia the reports turned out to be true on the ground they found hundreds of marijuana plants some measuring more than six feet tall that's around two meters but the other thing they found almost ruined the entire operation hidden in the bushes were beehives police officers began pulling plants from the ground the bees attack this woman who was stung on her friess in an uneven battle against thousands of angry insects the authorities have to retreat they were only able to finish the operation after putting on protective gear in the end they destroyed around five hundred plants the lands owner claims he knew it was

cannabis but couldn't find the time to pull it out since he was too busy taking care of the bees now he's looking at up to years behind bars if it's established that we was planted there on purpose. some other world news in brief for now the militant group the islamic state reportedly has taken full control of a mostly christian town of the three thousand people along with surrounding areas in northern iraq the moves caused many panicked residents to feed towards antonymous kurdistan at least a quarter of iraq's christian population live in the area and large numbers have been forced out as the islamic state increases in influence. the world health organization is considering declaring an international public health emergency as a deadly a ball of virus in west africa games grounds now the latest victim is a nurse who treated and infected patients in nigeria bringing the death toll to

nine hundred and thirty two of our patients will suffer fevers sore throats as well as bleeding before an agonizing death. as gnats on the seemingly never ending rise of facebook and what is behind the success of the social networking giant i'll be back in half an hour. during a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you'll almost never hear from a government bureaucrat he told the audience that in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we america did some things that were wrong we did a whole lot of things that were right but we tortured some folks here it is a rare thing to hear someone in the white house admit to torturing people after

nine eleven but the question is why did he say this now please allow me to spec first obama is the teleprompter master since he loves to read off a screen i doubt this was some sort of slip up this was probably done consciously but why well it always helps if you look good by condemning the moral failings of previous presidents liberals and democrats love to hate bush so this could be subs kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture some nice and drown out the fact that he sure approves of shelling civilians in eastern ukraine if obama really does feel that the post nine eleven torture was a shameful part of american history that as the leader of the executive branch of the nation he could do a lot to punish those who did the torture then and prevent it from happening again in the future but if i do obama this is all just a bunch of sweet talk but that's just my opinion.

the strategy of china in africa is to build stuff and the strategy of america in africa is to bomb stuff so i think the africans are thinking it out i think we go with the belt stuff. rather than the stuff. the us is running out of my. head there i am marinated and this is boom bust and these are some of the stories that we're tracking for you today. is my favorite day of the week here on boom bust it's tech thursday and a word talking facebook today now the social networking site is having a tremendous day and better yet a tremendous year we'll look into why and how coming right then steve hanke is on the show now hank you sat down with me to talk about arjen tying debt and there is quite a bit of it and in today's big deal edward harris and i are covering the latest.
