to be true to. form a stupid. joke. here burns again as protesters dig in and fight back against police a time to dismantle tent camps and barricades that have been there for months. a year countries are say the central stuff of billions of euros and lawsuits from russia's restrictions on food imports imposed as a response to western nations sanctions. also hope for a long term truce between israel and gaza fades as both sides fail to agree terms almost one thousand two hundred people have died in the month of fighting. plus as a whistleblower edward snowden is granted

a three year residency permit for russia but the possibility of lebanon citizenship in the future. from wherever you're watching from around the world this is our team to national live from moscow the simi you with me to say. clashes have erupted in central kiev between protesters and police the city center has been shrouded in black smoke as people been tires police and special units you arrived at the scene managed to get the situation under control it's believed most of the country would use and fire fighters would object files might push them away from them i'd done square this is the exact same place that sold the start of the anti-government uprising in

november last year that eventually ended in the overthrew of them president viktor yanukovych the standoff back then began when city authorities tried to dismantle tents and bury kate. barrow's the moscow based adage of business news europe magazine says the protesters an unhappy with the way the current authorities are using the power to give them by the winter by the end of winter uprising. where there's been protests is that the whole time and the idea they said that they were going to leave off to the government changed because they want to hold the new government accountable this is an amount of mistrust amongst the protestors that the new government was going to go a certain direction and they wanted to make sure that the government was going to represent for the people once and. there was a pertinent question that came out this morning one of the first this is saying you know we simply want to get a call which the former president to go back to mean that we signed up for a war there's

a lot of people who simply wanted to end the corruption but didn't think that they wanted to start a conflict with russia for conflicts in eastern ukraine and those people who approach just as the economy is going in supermarkets. and entire family has been killed an army shelling just outside lugansk in east ukraine graphic footage shows neighbors putting and pulling five bodies from a basement away they have been taking shelter it's reported a shell hit their house causing it to collapse and bury them. did you put blinders if you insist that right. your ability to move. in with. it will do nothing for you but does it give you. and this is what the scent on the city of

done it's going looks like and they go see a teller shells have been hitting residential buildings forcing them habitants to the local hospital was also a hit and warplane get supplies damaged by the shelling and this is an elementary school elsewhere in the city many of its classrooms completely bombed out and rids off shop you know all that in a regional capital city an industrial center with a million strong population. starts on target to use weapons of course particularly for as they say they're acting in self defense but at all times states have an obligation to safeguard civilians and of course the knowledge of the background of their were talking about ballistic weapons legislate the supreme use of the very large warheads so prices even more onerous of responsibility on those using those weapons to ensure that they don't disproportionate harm civilians in these kind of

urban battlefields that's mark to east ukraine yet if you like it's almost impossible to use those weapons without harming civilians and so again their use could be very easily described and could amount to a war crime. amnesty international has accused a member of ukraine's radical party of terrorizing the east of the country human rights activists say a leg or has while ated abducted and abused people in violation of international legal standards nationalists. third in the presidential election he has since created a squad for eastern ukraine to arrest and intimidate people he considers separatists and terrorists his men use threats of jail time for alleged links to and to care forces this week try to detain the police chief in the city of mary our poll of local prosecutors declared his attempts illegal

they mishal evidence about who was responsible for the shooting down of flight m.h. seventeen in ukraine was based on nothing more than social media postings that admission came from the head of the u.s. defense intelligence agency washington has blamed the catastrophe in which almost three hundred people died on antigovernment fighters in east ukraine but former pilot robert stein says a lot of questions remain about the evidence coming from washington. 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 xti airborne warning and control system station interim any incursion 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 would show a clear evidence that russia would be the perpetrator they would have it published immediately. was banned a number of nations from russia's food market as a response to sanctions imposed by western countries over the crisis in ukraine the dollar has more on their 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 ban that was announced by the prime minister to me to 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 there apparently putting together a plan to put forward to the e.u. demanding compensation for the money that they're 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 produce with russia around twenty five percent of all of their agricultural trade is to russia they could lose 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 their service there 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 countries 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. and the u.s. says service steps is counterproductive but political commentator for the e.u. reporter magazine and event and ski believes it's a move the west could have predicted it's the only logical answer because our as a president of a country our 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 other 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 russians because it's basically a very good news for russian agricultural producers because the world trying to do their best to feel they got it right on our website r t v dot com we're asking you about the effects the latest sanctions will have on both russia and western countries let's take a look right now so far thirty three percent of you a third who voted think all sides are will be affected equally almost as many of you are at thirty one percent though say that the sanctions will head average u.n. u.s. citizens the hardest and just under twenty percent say average russians will suffer the most and only seventeen percent of you think that the you factor will barely be noticed as economies will quickly adapt and compensate cast your vote at r.t. dot com we want to know what you think. a sleaze fire in gaza is close to

expiring and there is no agreement to prolong it talks in cairo between israel and hamas have so far brought no results the month long conflict has already claimed up to one thousand nine hundred lives mostly palestinian civilians and as harry fear reports hospitals can do little for those who have been injured. every day patients arrive from gaza to palestinian hospitals in jerusalem and the west bank the market said hospital in east jerusalem has received dozens of cases since the latest conflict erupted in this room he is six years old the patient that was admitted two weeks ago he has multiple bears a skull fracture after the bombing of his house here received unconscious of 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 make his life. 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 the only granted one day's access to israel. and no i cannot sleeve the hospital because my son in because i have permits to remain in israel for just one day but when i leave i show them the medical records at the crossing and they let me pass 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 who 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. and was situation in the gaza strip is an absolute disaster how can i feel lucky 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. and eighteen members family was wiped out leaving just this. little the 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 abdel-rahman 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 of the full to everybody is a loser who have

a thinks of peace is the true human being but. these patients are lucky to have temporarily escaped gaza to receive the very best and medical treatment many are looking forward to returning to their families in gaza but away from them is a horrified devastated community. the israeli offensive has led to a rise in the n.t. sematic incidents far beyond in australia for example a group of young jewish children travelling to school on a bus came under attack from six screaming slogans and threatening to kill them well i'm sorry to the home for more on that story. coming up on our day international overhaul four million a smartphones across the globe infected with an invisible bug we look at how the program is stealing private data everything from bank passwords to text messages

and also. the u.s. senate accuses the cia of trying to cover up the truth behind the use of torture during the bush administration will have more on that story after this. clean more zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of war mongering politicians. capturing people is this what do you do if they're innocent killing them easy we were deserve the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they can do that let's remember they can drown muslim apes in the. i'm sorry for. our tricia. dukakis our view of the start which sad is very tempting.

thanks for staying with us here on r t international and it'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 the world about the global civilians projects maintained by the u.s. and the u.k.

artie's met in a cost of up has the details. these reports have come from his lawyer. who says that having 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 only in the future. edward snowden is allowed to move freely across russia in travel to other countries with a limit of steen abroad for no more than three months according to russian legislation 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 charged with fast off government property and an authorized communication of national defense information and in june twentieth thirteen mr

snowden language 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 counseled passport down 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 a russian id company has discovered how four million phones across the globe are infected with malware which allows them to be controlled remotely means everything from banking passwords to text messages could be stolen spoke with a member of the company bed and covered 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 this current telephone number number i see id which is a serial number if you're seen current model operation system it's russian 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. committed myself to well known companies they try to mimic to. deeds to well known our 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 move your hundred percent secure would be your old phone computer science then in the end activism jeremy the man believes as so many phones are infected because they

were designed to be easily spied on 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 of the software manufacturers in fact for the last two years there's been turning those book at computers. that we cannot open this clue's ness of the device enables on one hand surveyed 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 where our website is from bad to worse at the fukushima nuclear plant it's been discovered

that every rod and one affected we had melted at the height of the crisis meaning it could now take a lot longer to decommission that full story is online. and the employees across the government in the us have had their personal information stolen i know what happened on our website r.t. dot com. russian police carrying out a routine raid on a suspected cannabis field they're staying had a very real sting all of its own you got a piece going up explains who at the last. it started as an ordinary drugs raid investigators were checking reports about one of 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 we found almost ruined the entire

operation hidden in the bushes were beehives police officers began pulling plants from the ground the bees attacked 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 and claimed she knew it was cannabis but couldn't find the time to put 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 we was planted there on purpose. some other headlines from around the world this hour africa's most populous country nigeria says outbreak the is now a national emergency in isolation tents have been erected as five more cases of the virus were confirmed in la goals a city of twenty one million people able outbreak has also ahead guinea's sierra leone and nigeria killing over nine hundred people so far.

one person was killed and ten others injured after an explosion hit lebanon's the second largest city tripoli reports say the bomb was targeting an army patrol of terror intentions are increasing as the army continues an operation against syrian militants in the border town of us. so-called bombs went off in the northern iraq. at least nine people died in the bloss near mosque it's estimated almost two hundred thousand people have fled fighting in the area in recent days the militant group islamic state has already taken large parts of iraq including the country's largest dam president of the middle east forum daniel pipes explains why iraq's water supply is being targeted at. iraq you control who are you control the water and you can threaten to flog and

even to destroy or lower your. stands is the worst constructed world. used to be used to be basically wrong. and if you were controls it does that mean it's there is to show your own kind of strong arms there are there of their own the. government forces and the kurdish forces are not able to stop the earth. a u.s. senate report into cia torture will be delayed after the senate intelligence committee chairman like use the agency and the white house of censoring the document dianne feinstein says the government's added so we're distorting key facts in the initial report she says it will not be published until she sets as wide a much anticipated report of more than six thousand pages is expected to expose the

practice of torture in the bush era which is acknowledged by president obama last week tortured some folks. who did some things that were contrary to our values. however obama also defended the cia say the agency was doing its job u.s. journalist and historian douglas valentine told us the government is likely to keep delaying their important to hush up the ugly truth. well it's a low ball. legal also psychological reasons for the administration to try and keep this is narrow. undisclosed as possible there are concerned about what will the american public think of this report so they're trying to contain the damage as most as much as possible basically along with would certainly constraints the only thing that's on the

administrative and small mind is how can we do this in 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. coming up gadd a backstage pass t i n t n but i do that the surge of news team i'll see you and i know.

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 a 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 sounds 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 the future but if i do obama this is all just a bunch of sweet talk but that's just my opinion. i just want to keep building the allowing saudi arabia qatar and iran to fund millions and millions of pounds worth of the building of mosques in this country where they have them addresses where current we have one hundred thousand four to sixteen year old children who are being schooled in these mature says which is encouraging complete non-integration within the society. it was a terrible headache and very hard to take the plunge again the longer the clock has never had sex with the perfect they're the ones. that wonder what.

it was. said. in the middle. of the. in the knees today and made signs of montoya far worse a secret police told channel mr chamberlain many many other places and i would say i suppose red square demonstrations are feaster names in our case setting up whatever scenario see the covering themselves with. the recounting are in some way sort of the turtle.
