the very same 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. welcome thanks for joining us this hour my name is neil harvey and 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 of regional capital centers of anti-government resistance and now the target of a fierce military campaign. well at least four people were killed in the latest attack on the ganske and the shelling has left much of the city. in ruins this is

take a look at a map of the areas that have been hit this was plotted by local residents and as you can quite clearly see really quite comprehensive coverage there hardly a spot that has escaped the onslaught of five hundred thousand people who used to live there almost half have now left griffen option reports from the russia ukraine border where thousands are fleeing the war saying. it's the final countdown for lugansk in kiev warns for now eastern ukraine remains under the control of and together and 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 you are in the empty terrible ration zone where no one can guarantee your safety for hours we search for a driver to take us towards the guns with little success then we met and i told

he's sixty three years old and east from the guns almost every day he travels to russia and that deep within missions. 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. recently people have started to ask him to bring them into clothes they've lost hope of a quick and the crisis. and the today says sometimes he arrives too late and the house he has been sent to has either been looted or lies in ruins we ask him to take us along on one of 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 syria where they're surrounded but they keep attack in the city

. so instead we try to get to deniece we asked an anti government fighter what lies ahead 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 traced. really a boomerang effect i think they don't want to let the refugees 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 of alexander 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. we've nationality on the russian ukrainian border for playing an active role in kiev scrag down in the east is the national guard that's a privately funded group that largely consists of ultra nationalists now here is

one of the units as it is on a witch hunt for what they call separatists and you can clearly see soldiers storming a house they drag out a mount and beat him 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 real news agency and there is still an end disappeared on tuesday and the latest reports suggest that he may be being held by ukraine security service kiev has made no comment and is providing no help in identifying the reporter's current location or moscow says all its relevant governmental agencies have joined the search. and there's been a strong show of support on twitter people concerned with stand ins fate are calling for him to be released and return to his loved ones others suggest 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 or for a tease. give central square is on fire again after a second term to clear it in as many days met with resistance to this they're refusing to leave despite all efforts by police and city services to dismantle the camp turns was seen burning but were later extinguished and earlier scuffles broke out dozens of police injured several protesters arrested there exists car tires on fire blanketing the city center in smoke gives mayor for more wind and activists for tarlac let's go as far to clear the area claiming he has already reached an agreement with those occupying the square and the city council building but as you can see here seem to be few signs to back up that claim. ukraine could cut the transit of russian energy through its territory believes that that will help increase the pressure on moscow after sanctions were imposed by the e.u.

you could also end up hurting its allies as the reports obviously it will affect russia's shipments to europe but it will should look at the implications the 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 a hundred percent of their gas supply from russia and ukraine and of course we all those countries have already found themselves out of the called literally here in this so-called gas war 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 assume that ukraine wants to punish russia by causing these sanctions but as a result what we're looking at really is ukraine punishing its european neighbors. 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 and despite the certain southern european nations involved say that they are ready to adopt the necessary laws in order to finish construction. at least five palestinians have been killed in gaza day after a fragile cease fire with a mass crumbled three bodies including one of the senior hamas official were found under the ruins of a mosque in total three must be destroyed overnight as israeli warplanes continued strikes on palestinian territories fighting erupted on friday reaching a brief calm in the month long conflict which has claimed up to nineteen hundred palestinian lives and sixty seven israelis the death toll triggered widespread protests across the west bank fear reports for r.t. from ramallah where one of the fiercest clashes took place. behind me palestinian use caching with israeli troops many have just buried their relatives and friends

the gaza strip inside the perceived coast along play of all of gaza almost one third of the population remain in touch the displaced and today israel has stepped up its strikes on the gaza strip. it's not only the west bank that is in govt in protest thousands of europeans have also states mass demonstrations over events in gaza our correspondents are following the rallies in london berlin thousands have gathered here at b.b.c. have quarters was are saying this their biggest rally to date in support of the palestinian people the rally started here because these. against what they say this is a disease on their advice that was like the first time there year that because they feel that their message is not being heard the b.b.c. do not present in fact if you want to know that they're now moving over to the u.s. embassy will be demanding the u.s. government stop happens to be sure that you want to add to managing that is not

representing the names and the ages of somebody who's been killed since the current i.d.f. operate shouldn't go away what everybody is telling me here though is that this isn't an unseen israeli demonstration it's not an anti jewish demonstration. but this is a demonstration against this operation it is not about israel but of cause the government of peace right is ordering these atrocities i would be against the same thing in the opposite side you know when and when you don't want to see. innocent people to be killed to jory see if people here are actually calling for we can see here for the people you call to have 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 un-p.c. messick or anti jewish message. across the world demonstrations have been held

welcome back an american submarine has reportedly been chased away from russia's shaw's apparently the navy spotted the vessel in the northern parents sea and sent over an anti submarine strike group has 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 the nuclear powered virginia class submarine is capable of launching twelve tomahawk missiles among other armaments after about half an hour over radio contact them 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 they infringement cause 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 calls for if r.t. the pentagon has released a video of strikes against you how this militants controlling large in strategically crucial areas of northwestern iraq until you can see an f. eighteen fighter jet as it obliterates artillery positions that belong to the islamic state terrorist group their tanks come up to president obama's pledge to protect u.s. personnel in iraq against the rapid advance of the extremists but as you go push it off reports washington could be targeting its own military hardware in iraq. or

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 call the sites attacking religious minorities taking control of key infrastructure including wood refineries and dams military hardware as well well certainly potentially more dangerous today than al-qaeda they are very extremely radical group with increasing capabilities capabilities which are only slightly state to set its sights way beyond iraq and

syria. and could. and that no i don't doubt that to another but it wasn't. always you know the. not a lot of. self in the model. because you can't buy shell love. enough that i think that 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 emboldened 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 to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria that is the real contradiction to this whole policy the white house says that the limited u.s. military action in iraq could be. on the 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 is going off r t. now washington says its latest operation in iraq is aimed at containing the end founds of the jihadists but many believe 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 the place because right now we have a situation where the west is opposing isis rebels in northern iraq and right we saw 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 fine for absolutely our weapons makers looking for a profit but if you also just struction. all giants from russia and america have launched a joint project to explore the arctic for us now after an exxon mobil are using a giant rig and 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 but putin heard 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 if the attention resources in this project can be compared with the biggest reserves in saudi arabia and a much bigger than the resources of the mexican goal of alaska canada so we're paying special attention. for the most our new scheme would have plucked from 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. of the sea where the two will be operating is covered with thick ice for most of the year but underneath is an estimated six billion tons of extractable oil that belongs to the west siberia province which already provides russia with most of its oil and gas the plan for me is capable of drilling down seven kilometers and keyboard 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 russian state oil company has a twenty percent investment by b p a mobile axon 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. that leaders of armenia and azerbaijan are now in sochi where they are expected to join russia talks about the armed conflict in the golan or carlebach and ethnically armenian enclave in azerbaijan the territory the ongoing tensions there go back decades in the beginning of the ninety's the region wanted to obtain independence which led to a war between the nations conflict is claim some thirty thousand lives in officially ended in one thousand nine hundred ninety four that was when a ceasefire which we claimed independence of the region was not recognized since

then the occasional shooting incident have occurred in the violence that erupted at the start of all this has led to both armenia and azerbaijan accusing each other of breaking the cease fire. in an attempt to promote peace talks the russian president of sold separate meetings with his armenia and azerbaijan the counterparts in sochi on three presidents met together saturday evening at a summer bowl wrestling match and according to putin spokesman all three parties could meet at the same table. skyrocketing tuition fees in america are leaving many students there struggling to feed themselves so some universities have gone to the extent of setting up soup kitchens to make sure the pupils make it through the day. to reports. college enter a world of possibilities. well crippling student debt after leaving these stores 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 often that could be lunch that summer time 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 into 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 some 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 our country and you're taking all the lead and all the food stands we don't use any of that is my family is scared that 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. did you what did you have today. is what they tell me i'm really it's that 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 well cooked food stamps by fifteen dollars a month they should try it well they should try to feed their families on food stamps so on they have to see 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 stacey 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 so you with us here and i'll tell you up next it'll be
