almost one thousand nine hundred people have died in the month of fighting. and as a whistleblower edward snowden is granted a three year residence permit for russia for the possibility of permanent citizenship in the future. live from moscow that's a large t. international you with me tom would say it's good to have you with us this evening some e.u. countries have expressed alarm about how severely they will be hit by russia's retaliation to sanctions over the ukrainian crisis moscow has banned food imports from a number of nations archies peta all of our reports on the measures. well russia has placed a ban on certain foodstuffs coming from those nations that backed sanctions against

russia so that's the united states canada australia norway the european union the european union perhaps most significantly it does an awful lot of trade with russia around the export of food stuffs now the type of things that are going to have restrictions placed upon them are meeting fruit or vegetables dairy products and fish for their prime minister dmitry medvedev said this ban. of around a year would be in place for a year you could be under review should there blow ballpark. what he called reasonable east towards russia there's an awful lot of money at stake here over twelve billion euros to trade is done exporting food from here in europe to russia already countries searches finland. contacted brussels and said look if we're going to miss out on this type of trade because of sanctions

you've put in place we need compensation our farmers need compensation from brussels to make up the shortfalls particularly in finland in the dairy markets they could stand to lose up to one billion euro from the finnish economy elsewhere we've heard statements coming out across from across europe here in germany the trade union that deals with wholesale trade and foreign trade said that this could have a detrimental effect on the german economy in greece the main opposition party said that well the fact that the greek government the current greek government was just blindly following sanctions from brussels and from washington was going to have a detrimental effect on the farming sector there on the agriculture sector there and in ireland the minister of agriculture has said that he's very concerned that there is risk particularly when it comes to cheese expo. last year island exported four a half million euros worth of cheese to russia and we're going to be missing out on

this over the next twelve months. for more on russia's imported restrictions let's talk live to poland dan schorr of an american businessman who has worked in moscow for many years good to have you with us this evening mr gonchar of let me ask you this how much can russia really hurt the e.u. when the u.s. with these sanctions. well i don't think the intention is to hurt you or the u.s. . it is. a measured response i guess to the limit of one's reasonable capability. the sanctions themselves are interesting reviewed in russia. many russians most russians. feel firmly in the right that. their position has been more than reasonable. given the assumptions made by the united states and the e.u.

you know it's a sacred american principle that you're innocent until proven guilty but we see sanctions being imposed on ratcheted up. over us. and the russians have stated several. this is a separatist movement this is not moscow battling. number one we'll look at talk about do these sanctions how bad is this going to be for the average consumer both both sides i mean you hear words like agricultural products are going to be halted all kinds of things consumers must be also thinking about it not only business people or most assuredly it's going to affect look there are no such thing as painless sanctions. it is dip speak for anything short of war. or steps that are not. we've taken

against the soviet union in the past. to a greater or lesser effect we've had them in place with iran without them in place with a number of countries that don't align. with political law and out of washington. it's it's obvious from technology from let's say aircraft that require servicing the required spare parts require expertise let's say the boeing's the fly for russian airlines through to everything else including polish apples. do you believe that an exchange of sanctions can bring about a resolution of a political resolution to this political crisis with you know between the euro between and russia i think it's starting in the wrong way first of all sanctions. well let me go back commerce is the best guarantee of

relations and a democratic progress. bar and. everything else if you reform is playing with the trade balance is playing with this playing with its promoting a specific political line it's not trying to find a common understanding so. i consider personally sanctions to be not the optimal way to resolve a political dispute. while watching very closely paul gone to roughly as to how the rest of the world of the e.u. as well as russia will react to these sanctions that russia has called out now thank you very much for your time your what. on our website r.t. dot com we're asking you about the effect of the latest sanctions that will have on both russia and the western countries let's take a look at our graph here now thirty three percent of you say voted about

a third think all sides will be affected equally in almost the same number there thirty one percent say that the average e.u. and u.s. citizen will be hit the heart is just under twenty percent this see average russians will suffer the most and the smallest percentage as seventeen percent think the effect will barely notice as the economy is quickly adapt and compensate cast your vote at r.t. dot com we'd like to hear what you think. i glasses have erupted in central kiev between protesters and police the city center has been shrouded in black smoke as people burned tires police and special units who arrived at the scene managed to get the situation under control and it's really purchases attempted to attach officers and firefighters with projectiles trying to push them away from the mine down square this is the exact same place that i saw at the start of the anti-government uprising in november last year that eventually ended in the overthrow of the then president viktor you knock

a village standoff back then began when city authorities had to dismantle tents and barricades this comes as the ukrainian capital holds a high profile guest nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen for more on the visit let's talk live to. know who's a following development in reno the head of nato was received over there what did he have to say during his briefing the. well of course once again the head of nato secretary general has expressed the fact that nato is going to uphold its earlier promise and that is to severe all ties with russia and he reiterated that point again today saying that this is the end of any cooperation between the organization and rosco. and then he went on to say that the organization is indeed working on strengthening in cooperation with ukraine in order to broaden the defense a sphere of nato now he was welcomed with you can say warm greetings in kiev as

a matter of fact president poroshenko went as far as to present a need to his secretary general with the order of freedom of ukraine now this of course ties in rather well with the premise that was expressed by grass was an earlier saying that cooperation and support for ukraine are going to be increased by nato countries for example as well on thursday we have seen a u.s. missile ship into the black sea now. officially the ship was there to promote peace and security in the region however russian officials have already expressed their displeasure with such a promotion and considered to be somewhat questionable move on the u.s. part. in going to school there in kiev in ukraine following that visit by the nato chief there will have more with her in the upcoming hours here in our international

right an entire family has been killed just outside of new ganske in east ukraine graphic footage shows neighbors pulling five bodies from a basement where they had been taking shelter some reported shell hit their house causing it to collapse and then burying them in. did you. just do what. you what does what you do. and this is what the city center near it's good looks like a local say at tillery shells have been hitting residential buildings forcing the inhabitants to flee a local hospital was also hits and water and gas supplies damaged by the shelling

and this is an elementary school else way in the city many of its classrooms completely bombed out and riddled with know all that in a regional capital city an industrial center with a million strong population. imus international has accused a member of ukraine's radical party of terrorizing the east of the country human rights activists say a leg has violated abducted and i buz people in violation of international legal standards nationalist. comes came third in the presidential election here since created a squad for eastern ukraine to arrest and intimidate people he considers separatists and terrorists is my new threats of jail time for alleged links to care for schools and this week school tried to detain the police chief in the city of mariupol but local prosecutors declared his attempts illegal john della hasan the amnesty

international director for europe and central ages says schools actions just the very tip of the violations in eastern ukraine. he does this without any. outside the realm of the law and gravely risking. the important need the ukrainian authorities have to demonstrate that they're capable of restoring the rule of law and they respect the. rights and areas that they take back into their control there's a much bigger issue in a much bigger problem in the ukraine impunity for human rights violations and at the moment that extends far beyond the activities of mr. so that it is clear that he has committed. a number of very serious crimes they need to be investigated and he needs to be brought to account the likely outcome of that would be criminal prosecution. then michel evidence about who was responsible for the shooting down of flight m.h. seventy nine 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 a catastrophe in which almost three hundred people died on anti government functions in eastern ukraine but from a pile of rubble 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 had 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 in germany in incursion 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 used 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. a ceasefire in gaza is close to expiring and there's a no agreement to prolong and now the talks in cairo between israel and hamas have so far brought no result a month long conflict has already claimed up to one thousand nine hundred lives mostly palestinian civilians and as harry here 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 marcus said hospital in east jerusalem has received dozens of cases since the latest conflict erupted in this room he is six years old and that was two weeks ago he has multiple bizarre skull fracture after the bombing of his house here to see it unconscious aware of the environment . in his first few days here khalid's life was maintained by

a ventilator he's made a solid recovery doctors say and is now able to move his leg his mother nihad has been by his 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. but that i cannot sleeve the hospital because my son him 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 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 yeah it was a 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 the i 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 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 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 ever 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. but it is a horrified devastated community. that israeli offensive has led to a rise and some magic incidents far beyond to gaza in australia for example a group of young jewish children travelling to school on a bus came under attack for six from six news screaming nazi slogans and threatening to kill them love them to r.t. dot com for more on that story. coming up on our day international over half a million smartphones across the globe infected with an invisible bug we look at how the program is streaming private data everything from bank passwords to text

drowns out in the tissue inquiry furthermore tells restrictions. really. what's the feeling. this is our day international n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden has been granted a three year residence permit in russia quoting to his lawyer snowden fled to russia more than a year ago after telling the world about the global surveillance projects maintained by the u.s. and to u.k. archies medina cos no one 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 future. edward snowden is allowed to move freely across russia and travel to other countries with a limit of studying abroad for no more than three months and 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 to washington to harsh him with the government property and an authorized communication of national defense information and in june twentieth thirteen now mr snowden landed. what your portland is 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 allowed to the leaker getting ass transit in the transit zone off the airport for more than a month. after which russia grants a temporary asylum and that happened on the first of august a russian id company has discovered how family and friends across the globe infected with the mao web which allows them to be controlled remotely and that means everything from banking passwords to text messages could be stolen. with a member of the company that the security breach. what is that we got here well basically this is a panel created by side with criminals to control these fronts 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 in may 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 feel like sort of imitating well known their commitments to well known companies try to mimic to. deeds to well known are software applications and plugins and i just wonder does that perhaps a good defense against this kind of. malware if you've got a very old fashioned 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 believed so many phones are infected because they 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 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 enable discussion of attacks that the user cannot suspect and against the user cannot do anything. russian police carrying out a routine wait on a suspected cannabis field hand they are staying at a very real thing all of its own it appears kind of explains who had the last laugh

. it started as an ordinary drugs raid 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 we 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 was stung on her freeze in an even 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 she 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 we was planted there on purpose. a u.s. senate report him to see a torture will be delayed after the senate intelligence committee chairmen accuse

the agency and the white house of censoring the document dianne feinstein says the government edits a way distorting the facts in the initial report to she says it will not be published until she settles find a much anticipated report of more than six thousand pages is expected to explain the practice of torture in the bush era which was acknowledged by president obama last week we tortured some folks. who did some things that were contrary to our values. however obama also defended the cia saying the agency was doing its job and us journalist and historian douglas valentine told us the government is likely to keep delaying the report in order to house shop. well there is a lowball. legal also psychological reasons for the administration to try and keep this is the narrow. undisclosed is 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 constrain you only the news on the administrator 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. greg in the senate is up next.

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 police allowed 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 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 dry. 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 then 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. please. please. please. please. please please please .
