authorities trying to dismantle tents and barricades. but iris moscow based editor of business news europe magazine says the protesters in kiev unhappy with the way the current authorities are using the power given to them by the winter uprising. where there's been purchases that the whole time and the idea they said that they were going to leave or to the government changed because they were told the new government accountable this isn't a matter of mistrust amongst the protestors that the new government was going to go zones erection and they wanted to make sure that the government was going to represent what the people want. there was a pertinent question that came out this morning one of the first this is the saying that you know we simply wanted you and of course the former president to go and that doesn't mean that we signed up for a war there's a lot of people who simply wanted to end the corruption but didn't mean that they wanted to start a conflict with russia or conflicts in eastern ukraine and those people were

purchased as the economy is growing in supermarkets. an entire family has been killed in. five lugansk in east ukraine graphic footage shows neighbors pulling five bodies from a basement where they had been taking shelter it's reported a shell hit their house causing it to collapse and bury them. boardroom will just do what everybody. what does it do to do. and this is what the center of the city of donetsk looks like local say artillery shells have been hitting residential

admission came from the hague although u.s. defense intelligence agency washington has blamed the catastrophe in which almost three hundred people died on anti-government fighters in eastern ukraine but former pilot robert stein says a lot of questions remain about the evidence coming in from washington. the latest military intelligence evidence the americans were showing to the public is not the best evidence they had when they have a satellite over the crash site when they have radar data when they have the xti airport warning and control system station in germany and they were flying around why are there not opening their files that this 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. also was banned a number of nations from russia's food market it's a response to sanctions imposed by western countries over the crisis in ukraine which all of a has more on the reaction to the measures. 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 have gone to be caught up in this import of meat fruit vegetables some dairy products and fish and the plan that was announced by prime minister to me to maybe get of this is set to last for one year another reaction here in year of 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 and wholesales has said this could put the german economy at risk especially the agriculture sector in any other sectors linked to the transport of those those foodstuffs in lithuania they are apparently putting together a plan to put forward to the e.u. demanding compensation for the money that they are going to loose amerikana me from this ban in finland finland could perhaps be the worst affected nation they do a lot of trade when it comes to dairy proteus 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 a 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. the e.u. in the year was step is counterproductive by political commentator for the e.u. reporter magazine and ivan density believes it's a move the west could have predicted it's 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 reason no 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 they will try to do their best to feel they've got a ceasefire in gaza is close to expiring and there is no agreement to prolong it talks in cairo between israel and hamas have so far broader no results the month long conflict has already claimed one thousand nine hundred lives most mostly palestinian civilians and as harry fear reports hospitals can do little for those who've been injured. every day patients arrive from gaza to palestinian hospitals in jerusalem and the west bank the market said hospital easters has received dozens of cases since the latest conflict erupted in this room is six years old patient that was admitted two weeks ago he has multiple business skull fractures after the bombing of his house here received unconscious over the environment.

in his first few days here khalid's life was maintained by a country that has made a solid recovery doctors say and is now able to move his leg 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. again as leave the hospital because of my song and because i have a permit to remain in israel for just wanna date because when i leave i show them the medical records of the crossing and they let me into gaza this 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 her i asked if she felt lucky to be outside of dallas or receiving expert treatment. it was situation in the gaza strip is an absolute disaster how can i feel like when my people are dying. over nine 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 someone thought an eighteen minute family was wiped out leaving just this one child little yeah i mean still calls out for his favorite sibling 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.

no i do see only the israel or the promised stimulus is winning we the citizens or the folder 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 away is a horrified devastated community. that is really offensive has led to a rise in the end to semantic incidence of fabiani in a story live for example a group of young jewish children traveling to school on a bus came under attack from six a you with a screaming nazi slogans and threatening to kill them. dot com for more on that story. coming up on our day international over how for a million smartphones across the globe i'm factored with an invisible blog we look

in justifying their stance they're citing all sorts of. what they see as international press advance in costs of the upcoming referendum in scotland but the response that they're hearing from the one thing is that what you're saying is illegitimate but what we have been during. the measure if you break into they're still good what america does is right. for other people for centuries like russia or china like a straight. back whatever america does is right because america doesn't. you. know watching r t international n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden has been granted a three year residence permit in russia according to his lawyer snowden fled to

russia more than a year ago after telling of the world about the global surveillance projects maintained by the u.s. and the u.k. are just made up cost of aa has the details. these reports have come from his lawyer. who says that having received a residence patmos 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 only later in the future. edward snowden is allowed to move freely across russia in travel to other countries with a limited steen abroad for no more than three months according to russian with just place and he also has a right to receive russian citizenship after five years of living in the country. now after of the former n.s.a. contractor leaked sensitive u.s. intelligence washington. with the government property and an authorized

communication of national defense information and in june twentieth thirteen now mr snowden landed in moscow airport he landed in a transit zone coming from hong kong and his final destination was aqua door however the u.s. authorities that counseled passports and that's allowed to the leaker getting asked ran to the transit zone off the airport for more than a month. after which russia granted temporary asylum and that happened on the first of august. a russian id company man has discovered how four million phones across the globe line factor with malware which allows them to be controlled remotely and that means everything from banking passwords to text messages could be stolen. spoke with a member of the company that uncovered the security breach what is that we got here well basically this is a panel created by cyber criminals to control these phones we're going to chart

here and you can read a bit of the names of these current telephone our number i see id which is a serial number if you're seen current model operation system its version which is factory number a few or physical device so that i basically they're extremely organized criminals and they've come up with their own software for organizing all the information stealing is how it looks like how do they do that sort of imitating well known are committed to well known companies they try to mimic to. deeds to well known software applications and plugins and i just wondered is that perhaps a good defense against this kind of. malware if you've got a very old fashioned the doesn't even connect to the internet then that this most one hundred percent secure would be your old phone computer science engineer and

activist jeremy is the man who believes there's so many phony is in fact is because there were designed to be easily spied on. it is apparently the first time that we see on such a large scale a computer virus spreading on those 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 or the software manufacturers in fact for the last years there's been turning those book at 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 over at a web site from bad to worse at the fukushima nuclear plant it's been discovered that every involved in one of the active reactor melted at the height of the crisis meaning it could not take a lot longer to decommission the full stories online. pictures from a devastating earthquake in china where the death toll continues to rise and the images from these and other stories in our envision section. russian police carrying out a routine raid on a suspected cannabis field found there staying at a very real thing all of its own got a place going to have explains who at the last. it started as an ordinary drugs rate 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 and as police officers began pulling plants from the ground the bees attack this woman was stung on her face in an uneven battle against thousands of angry insects the authorities had 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 land's all in 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 eight years behind bars if it's established that weed was planted there on purpose. now some other headlines from around the world this hour africa's most populous country nigeria says the ebola outbreak there is now a national emergency isolation towns have been erected more cases of the virus were

after the senate intelligence committee chairmen accuse the agency and the white house of censoring the document dianne feinstein says the government added with distorting key facts in the initial report she says it will not be published until she's a such as fide the much anticipated report of more than six thousand pages is expected to expose the practice of torture in the bush era which was acknowledge by president obama last week. we tortured some folks. we did some things that were contrary to our values. however obama also defended the cia saying the agency was doing its job u.s. journalist and historian douglas valentine told us the government is likely to keep delaying the report in order to hush up the ugly truth. well there is a lowball

a legal also psychological reasons for the administration to try and keep the narrow. undisclosed as possible they're they're concerned about what will the american public think of this report so they're trying to shape that to contain the damage as most as much as he was also able basically along with would certainly constrain you only the news on your ministrations mind is how can we do this and maybe american people think we're responding to their their desires and their needs and of course you have to realize the government doesn't really care and it's going to continue to do all the things it wants to do anyway it's just going to try to make this report look like it has the interests of americans at heart. and not behaved get ready in full questions that ahip and todd and hogs and the late has that to say and a world apart. during

a press briefing president barack obama said something very unusual and used a certain term you 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 suspect 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 die. 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 substance 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 bomb stuff and the us is running out of.

hello and welcome to worlds apart politics is an art of compromise or at least it used to be in a constantinople turn russia and the west over ukraine both sides accusing each other of and chants of just keep raising the stakes after years of paying lip service to the non-zero sum approach are we back to the geopolitics of all or nothing well to discover them now and joined by one of the world's most senior statesman and a former prime minister malcolm fraser mr fraser thank you very much for being on the show good afternoon now we're hearing a lot these days about the prospect of and now the cold war and if you actually believe to be a regional cold war do you think every iran is possible the new cold war is

certainly possible. for the situation that has arisen. i think nato missed a great opportunity when the with the breakup of the soviet union and then president gorbachev believed he had an agreement with the first bush administration that nato would not move east nato had after all done its trouble then that pushed ahead to the borders of russia and i can understand russians believing that that's a bucket of move there would have been other ways less provocative ways of ensuring the security ended the pendants of eastern european states and. i think the west then lost an opportunity to really begin to make russia a collaborative power mr fraser you just mentioned that those inroads into russia

immediate neighborhood by nato are seen in the in moscow as provocative but when russia expresses those concerns that are usually taken as paranoid in the west and even if we accept them as such as paranoid what's the point from the western perspective of pushing a paranoid russia to its limit but i don't believe russia is paranoid i do believe russia has historic interests and this was certainly a traditional area of russian interest long long proceeding to communism and stalin. and the united states in particular said no this is going to become an area of western influence of nato influence european influence or american influence and i can understand. russia being greatly disturbed about this and you just mentioned a moment ago that gorbachev may how gorbachev was promised by nato officials that

after the collapse of the berlin wall nato expansion would essentially stop on the us we all know that bad didn't happen why do you think the west and eighteen particular have been so persistent in the wing is for big because we have almost like three generations of western policy makers who have never questioned the wisdom or indeed potential ramifications of such moves there are many people i think you have questioned the move west of. the live eastward of. president clinton was determined that it should happen he believed that putting eastern european states in. within nato would be a democratizing move i can see how. we arrived at that particular logic. that you had done its job.
