fight as it helped in syria. and the russian navy says it's chased away an american attack submarine near russia's coast in the arctic ocean not for the first time in recent years. thanks for joining is this my name is the you're watching r.t. international. the ukrainian army says it's getting ready to take lugansk and yet skin the east street by street building by building the two cities a regional capital centers of anti-government resistance and now the target of a fierce military campaign but at least four people were killed in the latest attack on lugansk the army shelling has left much of the city in ruins i just take

a look at a map of the areas that have been hit this is what was plotted by local residents and as you can see it's pretty comprehensive stuff there really isn't a location that is escaped the onslaught. the five hundred thousand people who used to live there almost half an hour left where if a national reports now from the russia ukraine border where thousands are fleeing the water. it's the final countdown for lugansk and demands he warns for now eastern ukraine remains under the control of and together meant forces the challenge in the region is intensifying who tried to cross the border to cover grevilleas to come then ask checkpoint at the russian ukrainian border the line of cars and people stretches for kilometers and almost nobody is willing to cross into ukraine once you are through here we're in the empty terrible ration zone where no one can guarantee your safety for hours research for a driver to take us towards the guns with little success then we met and the tolly

he's sixty three years old an ace from the guns almost every day he travels to russia and then betty crane with a mission. when people escape from the attacks they took very little with that that's why many of the refugees don't even have documents when they arrive in a new place so i bring them what they need the way. recently people have started to ask him to bring them into claims they've lost hope of a quick and to the crisis and the two he says sometimes he arrives too late and the house he has been sent to has either been looted or dies in ruins we ask him to take us alone and while his salvage treats but he says he hasn't been able to get across the border for two days himself the reporter go on you don't know if you'll be shot at or not when you're driving through the guards there is an area the army uses to attack the city where they're surrounded but they keep attacking the city.

so instead we try to get to deniece we ask an anti government fighter what lies ahead for alexander tells us his small town which lies between the city and the border has seen some of the most intense shelling in the area he's driving back there and he admits the wrath he treats really a boomerang effect i think they don't want to let their initial g.'s cross the russian border which is why they are shooting at the roads they're also trying to cut us off from humanitarian aid food and water the moment if that xander politely refuses to take us with him we take his number and agree to keep in touch to check on him and the road once he reaches his destination we ran several times but no one is answering reef nationality on the russian ukrainian border playing an active role in care of scrub it down in the east is the national guard now that's a privately funded group that largely consists of ultranationalists and here one of

the units is on a witch hunt for what they call separatists and you can see soldiers storming a house they drag out a man and beat him they then take him away in a car with a bag over his head. russia has launched a support campaign for a photo reporter who is missing in east ukraine he works for the russian rian obviously news agency and that is still in disappeared on tuesday and the latest reports suggest that he may be being held by ukraine security service has made no comment and is providing no help in identifying the reporter's current location or moscow as all its relevant governmental agencies have joined the search and there has been a strong showing of support on twitter people concerned with stand ins fate are calling for him to be released and returned to his loved ones or this suggests that kidnapping reporters will not prevent the truth from being told a string of journalists working for the russian media have been snatched by

ukraine's orthe or at ease. gives a central square is on fire again after a second attempt to clear it in as many days met with resistance the activists there are refusing to leave despite all the efforts by police and city services to dismantle their camp their tents we've seen burning but were later extinguished and earlier scuffles broke out leaving dozens of police injured and several protesters arrested the activist set car tires on fire blanketing the city center in smoke here this mare for my down activist for tarlac which go as far to clear the area claiming he has already reached an agreement with those occupying the square and the city council building as you can see here are a few science to back up my claim. ukraine could cut the transit of russian energy through its territory kiev believes that that will help increase the pressure on moscow after sanctions were imposed by the e.u.

it could also however and up hurting its allies as the reports. obviously it will affect russia's shipments to a euro but it will should look at the implications this situation will have on russia's european partners especially of the countries that are in the center in the east and in the south of europe some of them are getting as much as almost hundred percent of their gas supply from russia via ukraine and of course with all those countries have already found themselves out in the cold literally during the so-called gas wars between russia and ukraine some years back and they could be looking for another repetition of that experience if indeed ukraine does go through with its promise of sanctions and we may assume that ukraine wants to punish russia by imposing these sanctions but as a result what we're looking at really is ukraine punishing its european neighbors following the prime minister's threat an official from ukraine's top all transportation company tried to soothe the concerns saying that transit through europe isn't going to be blocked meanwhile political on this month is dogged fell

believes that ukraine's whole sanctions plan is likely to raise eyebrows among its european partners i seeing that this proposal will never gets reality since the pressure from brussels by commission and other actors from the national states but furthermore it shows that the ukrainian government is not willing to cooperate at all and sees only their own interest after hearing this is. all the states in southeast europe like this will be hungary serbia and bulgaria to lobbying much more to get a very secure supply of gas and if you create enough building to guarantee it there will be other options. well one of the options to pump russian gas into europe while bypassing ukraine is the south stream project for now the construction of the pipe is stalling under pressure from e.u. lawmakers who argue it doesn't comply with certain regulations that despite that

though southern european nations involved say that they are ready to adopt the necessary laws in order to finish construction. in other news at least five palestinians have been killed in gaza day after a fragile cease fire with a mass crumbled three bodies including one of a senior hamas official were found under the ruins of a mosque in total lost were destroyed overnight as israeli warplanes continued strikes on palestinian territories fighting erupted on friday breaching a brief column in the month long conflict which has claimed up to nine hundred palestinian lives and sixty seven israelis the death toll triggered widespread protests across the west bank and we fear reports for r.t. from ramallah where one of the fiercest clashes took place. behind me palestinian use our clashing with israeli troops many have just buried their relatives and friends twenty year old mohammed tyree who was killed yesterday by

a gunshot to his heart in clashes with israeli soldiers this side an illegal settlement. this morning another palestinian man a middle aged man succumbed to his were sustained in separate clashes in the south west bank yesterday hamas had called for a day you rage and thousands of palestinians came out yesterday and clash with his radio troops throwing stones and in some cases fireworks against well armed and well armored israeli soldiers who responded with tear gas and in some cases gunfire now inside the gaza strip several palestinians are being killed including at least three children since israel resumed its operation against hamas hamas has resumed its rocket fire into southern israel the hamas movement wants to win serious concessions from israel mainly the lifting of the eight year long paid over the

gaza strip inside the perceived coast along play of all of gaza almost one third of the population remain in the displaced and today israel has stepped up its strikes on the gaza strip this not only the west bank that is engulfed in protests thousands of europeans have also stage must protest over a fence in gaza all correspondents off following negativities in london and berlin thousands have gathered here at b.b.c. had quarters what was are saying is their biggest rally to date in support of the palestinian people the rally started here because. they got what they say is the b.b.c.'s on their bias that was. the first time they're here but they're back because they feel that their message is not being heard the baby maybe not presenting like you want getting out that they're now moving over to the u.s. embassy where they'll be demanding the u.s. government. today show you what they're demanding.

well that's also why their arms exports i've already got it why didn't. they sue is right the pressure cooker and the american government took why all this for the power to the israelis so they can kill innocent children and women in palestine it's an absolute disgrace of course comes on the wheels of foreign office and us resigning from the robison although what she says that is. the only thing that's been resistant. to the early was we know that it was the protesters. here in berlin we've seen a lot of people come out into the center of the city to show their support. and their opposition to the ongoing military operation is taking place from the israeli military just here we can see a flag in the shape of the the flag of the palestinian people. each color

representing the names and the ages of somebody who's been killed since the current i.d.f. operation got under way what everybody is telling me here though is that this isn't an unseen israeli demonstration it's not an untidy jewish demonstration but this is a demonstration against this operation it is not about peace trail but of course the government of israel is ordering these atrocities i would be against the same thing in the opposite side you know when the when you do want to see. innocent people to be killed the majority of people here actually calling for we can see here for the boy you caught that israeli goods saying that that's the best way to try and try and send a message to israel to stop buying their products and hit them in the pocket rather than make any kind of on the same message are anti jewish message. well across the will demonstrations have been how against the israeli operation in gaza we shows no

sign of ending and paris was one of the european capitals witness rallies elsewhere in the world from africa to australia a number of nations joined displays of anger meanwhile in new york people have started to gather in front of the u.n. headquarters in a show of calm than. i do stay with us here on r.t. international plenty more to come this hour including a joint exploration project. he sees the russian and u.s. . starts drilling at the most northerly oil well in russia this story and plenty more after this short break. so we leave the. bushes. visible. issues that no one is there with the guests that deserve answers from.

him back an american submarine is reportedly being chased away from russia's shores now apparently the navy spotted the vessel in the northern barren sea and sent over an anti submarine strong group of picks up the story. the american submarine was detected near russia's northern border in the bering sea and was shadowed by a navy strike force and an aircraft then you clear powered virginia class submarine is capable of launching twelve tomahawk missiles among other armaments after about half an hour over radio contact their merican were pushed away from the border by the northern fleet reconnaissance of russia continues from under the water and in the skies in july an american spy plane the rivet joint was reportedly conducting surveillance of the russian military when detected by radar it was then forced to illegally cross into swedish airspace after being chased by a russian fighter jet swedish an american authorities kept silence about the incident for nearly

a month but were pushed to admit swedish airspace had been violated after reports in local media over the a staunch u.s. ally sweden is not a member of nato so the infringement calls some anger the swedish press along with their foreign called leagues made sure the violation of the country's borders was firmly made public knowledge room on cost r.t. moscow the pentagon has released a video of strikes against you how this militants controlling large insta t.j. think crucial sways of northwestern iraq and he can see an f. eighteen fighter jets is it a blitz or a saw tillery positions belonging to the islamic state terrorist group it tanks come after president obama's pledge to protect u.s. personnel in iraq against the rapid advance of the extremists and if you go piskun off ripples washington could be telling it to its own military college where an iraqi. one leaving behind a sovereign stable and self-reliant iraq three years on is america coming back

today also rise to operations in iraq. targeted airstrikes to protect our american personnel and a humanitarian effort to help save thousands of iraqi civilians the target this time is the islamic state formally known as isis a terror organization which hasn't only been rampaging through the country with tremendous speed and extreme violence but is even proclaimed its own state stretching from iraq to syria so radical even al qaeda says it's too much brutally murdering anyone even muslims in its way destroying holy sites attacking religious minorities taking control of key infrastructure including oil refineries and dams military hardware as well while certainly potentially more dangerous today than al-qaeda they are very extremely radical group with increasing capabilities capabilities which you are only slowing state to set its sights way beyond iraq and syria. and could tell you. and i know i don't know how to tell another but it

wasn't just you know to come and live in that not only not enough to get out of the cell phone the model alone because you know ken but i shall love the girl so enough that i say the innkeeper will of dealing with them on its own back that's to washington for help woodward to be slamming state or isis fighters come from we are where we are because we armed the syrian rebels we have been fighting alongside al-qaeda fighting alongside i says isis is now involved in in two countries but here's the anomaly we're with isis in syria we're on the same side of the war so those who want to get involved stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria that is the real contradiction to this whole policy white house says that the limited u.s. military action in iraq could be extended. to the standard state tightens its grip on iraq according to the un and around two hundred thousand new refugees have fled their homes what isis claims it's made more than

a dozen military gains over the past five days alone you are just going off r t. washington says its latest operation in iraq is aimed at containing the advance of the jihadists but many believe that they were given more than a leg up by the u.s. in the first place. we really have to look at the reorientation of western foreign policy in the middle east that has to take place because right now we have a situation where the west is opposing isis rebels in northern iraq and rightly so or but has been tacitly or of personally supporting them in syria is madness these are us weapons us weapons on all sides in this combat just as three years ago in libya and in so many wars when you are the top supplier of weapons to the world seventy nine percent of of weapons transfers into the middle east or from the united states you're going to have u.s. weapons on all sides which is just for absolutely our weapons makers looking for

a profit. destruction. in of the new soil giants from russia and america have launched a joint project to explore the arctic rosneft and exxon mobil are using a giant rig owned by norwegian company north atlantic drilling to work on an oil well that's the most northern in russia during a teleconference to mark the launch for the mayor putin had words of praise for america's exxon mobil and its cooperation in the project both u.s. and russian companies have expressed their long term commitment. but it's the attention resources of this project can be compared with the biggest reserves in saudi arabia and a much bigger than the resources of the mexican gold alaska canada so we're paying special attention. for the most on your skin the platform is located far out on the open sea so there is a multi level system of security here and we're using the latest technology. for

the sea where the two will be operating is covered with thick ice for most of the year but underneath it is an estimated six billion tons of extractable oil belongs to the west siberia province which already provides russia with most of its oil and gas the platform is capable of drilling down seven kilometers and keith boy field of the center for policy studies think tank believes that despite sanctions this will be a successful example of international cooperation. this particular project they've been working on it for several years next our mobile have already invested many many millions of dollars they could do with the oil and they're going ahead the sanctions do not apply to this particular project because the deal was already signed the russian state oil company has a twenty percent investment by b p or mobil exxon are really looking to find new

sources of hydrocarbons so they really need this find and they've already invested a considerable amount of money so they'd have to write that off if things didn't go ahead so i think in that respect prospects are relatively optimistic surrounded some of the global headlines for you now starting with the news that the tour buses for the last ten meter cliff in china's western mountainous region of tibet killing forty people the bus careened after crashing into a pile up involving a pick up truck in a sports utility vehicle the road where the accident occurred had experienced a massive landslide earlier in the week roads in the mountains are known for being especially dangerous during the summer rainy season. in modern pakistan supporters of an anti government cleric of clash with police in several cities at least seven people were reported killed in the violence and several more arrested canada based

i hear all cadre returned to pakistan in june and vowed to stage mass protests to topple the government accusing it of corruption. skyrocketing tuition fees in america are leaving many students struggling to even feed themselves so some universities are setting up soup kitchens to make sure that the pupils make it through the day. to reports. college and to the world of possibilities. well crippling student debt after leaving these doors is one pandemic that's already well established in the u.s. what's not often talked about is another dangerous trend college student hunger. and often seen students in my classes you know eating chips or something like that and my first reaction is oh it's a little snack but very well that could be lunch that summertime so most colleges around america are largely deserted but even so in schools like this one

preparations are well underway to feed those in need when they come back in september according to the college and university food bank alliance there are about one hundred twenty food pantries at higher education institutions throughout the u.s. dozens more are in the process of being set up like here at nassau community college in new york's long island they're choosing to do something to help themselves and to improve their lot in life by going to school they have to decide where their funds are going to go so some of it's going to textbooks and to tuition that leaves less money for people to put food on their tables the food pantry boom is only beginning as prices for education skyrocket having grown by five hundred forty percent since the eighty's according to the u.s. department of labor so people are coming here in the not even way. they can barely afford the tuition nineteen year old stacy abby is a originally from an upper middle class family in india living below the poverty line since moving to america it's a negative mentality sometimes when people say oh you're coming to

a country and you're taking all the lead and all the food stamps we don't use any of that as my family is scared then we're going to get stacey says there are many more students. like her most of them she says keep their hunger to themselves it's kind of embarrassing to go and tell that to people when you see that other people have it and you don't. but i've seen a lot of students who are hungry and they eat they say a muffin or something and you know when i asked them all did you what did you have today. is what they tell me i'm really it's like it's very sad in this community of twenty three thousand people the pantry is not only meant for students but also college staff who are in need the plight of college students as part of a broader struggle in america where food security is a problem while the policies to keep up with those in need often ignore reality when you listen to people in congress talking about yeah you could food stamps by fifteen dollars a month they should try it well they should try to feed their families on food

stamps so on. and see what a fifteen dollar cut would do well politicians narrow in on cutting costs rather than seeing the bigger picture it's volunteers like stacy along with two other students and faculty that are trying to help however they can by building and running what is for now a small space you don't have to be scare you don't have to be hungry there's someone out there who cares that they hope will make a real difference and r.t. long island new york. i'm next here and i will take a closer look at america's use of drones and iraq and for u.k. viewers is the kaiser report. a few weeks ago we discussed detroit's plans to shut off water to those who can't pay their bills logically what

a basic human assessor he could get taken away some protesters gathered to give their opinion on the issue at our plaza and what is the response from the state maybe some sort of dialogue or explanation as to why they have to turn off the water you know they turned up on the high tech quote non lethal weaponry against the protesters they used an l. red system which basically blasted the protesters with sound which sounds unintended humane until you look into it and read that the weapon can cause permanent hearing loss the company even admits this is true at less than fifty meters we see all across the country so-called non-lethal weapons being used to very harmful and even to well we thought ns but why does this happen because they make breaking up protest easy unsafe for the cops remember in the old days when you had to physically break up protests well things like el read allow any coward to just flip a switch to disperse a crowd with not a drop of blood visible and the fact that it seems not harmful as the police to be justified in using it whatever they want for the sake of the constitution i think

no police forces should be able to use this el read technology but that's just my opinion. the slippery slope doesn't only concern they use made of these machines. technological evolution is give these weapons more and more sophisticated capabilities it. does see ram as a cannon that destroys missiles while they're flying.
