the earth is lurching or didn't remember us. it is now the sound of incoming artillery so we can get out of here what some people are telling us is that there is an army barracks in the vicinity and they think that the ukrainian army was aiming for that rather than these residential buildings points here on t.v. downtown donates. meanwhile the latest monthly report by u.n. humanitarian monitors also says that the number of casualties in east ukraine has more than doubled in the past month and the document alleges human rights. offenses by the anti government militias and also suggest there have been multiple reports of abuse coming from ukraine's armed forces human rights watchdog says the special and territorial battalions also known as the national guard operating under kids command have allegedly been abducting and torturing people the body also calls for care to enforce more control over those forces. that's not of you fully shared by the u.s. president to once again blamed russia for the rising violence in eastern ukraine we
1:07 pm
agree if there was ever any doubt that russia is responsible for the violence in eastern ukraine. because ations came hot on the heels of an emergency session of the un security council by russia's envoy to charlie churkin once again strongly refuted any allegation of moscow's heavy machinery or troops being on ukrainian soil but even before that the us ambassador presented her case to the council members sparking a fiery response or a danger one of the separatist leaders that russia has armed and backed said openly that three or four thousand russian soldiers have joined their cause he was quick to clarify that these soldiers were on vacation but a russian soldier who chooses to fight in ukraine on his summer break is still a russian soldier yet still according to the russian government the soldiers were

1:09 pm
as so what he is proposing is to be a party in an internal conflict which is unfortunately in one of our neighboring countries and nato or never should be in such a situation and therefore he is leading us toward as many german saying you need to do you will be in your party in the conflict zones a very beginning. active in kiev against the russian language and in the days when they have sent milliken mercenaries into the east part of the ukraine it was clear that we are not in a valuable and situation when it comes to the ukraine and there are far people are . so unhappy with this apology and the ball does it if you would of nato because we don't think that nato ends your pin your nion. in favor of peace and

1:11 pm
conflicts that are correspondent marina cost of reports from london. the decision to raise the threat level to the second highest position was made by the joint terrorism analysis center due to developments in syria and iraq where terrorists groups are planning attacks against the west what we're facing in iraq now. is a preacher and deeper threat to our security than we have known before foreign fighters who travel from britain to syria and iraq taking part in terrorist acts and they come back to threaten our security here. and the scale of this threat is growing we need to do more to stop people traveling to stop those who do go from returning and to deal decisively with those who are already here this fear that around the five hundred persons jihad this have gone on to fight abroad whether on the half of them suspected to be in the u.k. planning attacks on home soil in fact at least one plot is known to have been a forward having said that the home secretary said there is no intelligence to
1:12 pm
suggest that there is an eminence outside but david cameron said that the government is already planning new legislation so make sure the brits are not going abroad to fight alongside extremists and he'll be making those plans public on monday. and earlier we talked to the head of the islamic human rights commission massoud he thinks that western policies in the middle east are largely responsible for what is now happening in the u.k. . this is an admission that the policies of the west in iraq and in syria has created great in the stability not just the scene in syria and but now in the works you know the reality is that these extremists have been funded they've been given equipment there are driving around with four wheel drives that united states has delivered and they're creating havoc everywhere and then the blame is being put on the last son muslim community in britain and the reality is that muslim
1:13 pm
community and a mosque in britain did not create a foreign policy in which he too invasion of iraq and and what is happening in syria it was the british government and the american government involved in those policies and arms that has been pouring into syria which has trickled down to this so called the strongest state it is been done true the policies of britain the united states. and i do for you have our breaking news here on r.t. this hour poland has allowed the plane of the russian defense minister sergei sure go to fly through its airspace that's after denying it the right to pass the minister had been on his way back to moscow from slovakia and as a result the aca had to turn back and land in bratislava poland's aviation authority has blamed the incident on miscommunication. coming up how much
1:14 pm
information are you willing to give away when you're buying a juicy allowed to dust has the potential to track every move of loyal soca found this will bring you all the details in just a couple of minutes. differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months as a. former. president which is diddy's time for him to. still be released to syria is going to be some of the stuff. please. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right other big story the extra headlines and talk
1:15 pm
there's a reason they don't want to do now that are important. now let's break the set . now it's not just the governments who are tracking your every move it seems that sportswear giants also have the potential to keep tabs on consumers for example this bestselling added ass jersey of the german national football team two million have been sold already thousand thanks to the side success at the recent world cup but some fans are getting more than they bargained for let's just take
1:16 pm
a closer look at the unwanted bug that customers are unknowingly taking with them and it is this device is a radio frequency identification chip it's used to transfer data automatically through electromagnetic fields they usually use for logistics for consumer products are also now being equipped with them the chips are barely noticeable and i did ask the denies that they can track individuals but consumer privacy expert liz mcintyre she says that the potential uses a worrying. unfortunately the consortium of major corporations around the world and even governments are very interested in tracking people and it's all about profit they figure if they can know everything about somebody where they go their habits who they know then they can make money off of that when these tags go home with consumers on the things they wearing carry these consumers can be tracked these these are if i didn't tags have unique identification numbers and the plan is
1:17 pm
for every item on the planet at one at some point to have one of these numbers in it and if you think about it well it's just a number there are lots of things that are just numbers for example social security numbers are just numbers bank account numbers are just numbers but we have the sense not to put them on our t. shirts and walk around with those because people could use that information about us and so it's a very invasive technology and let me say this is just. the beginning. now after insisting that moscow isn't doing enough to ease the tensions in ukraine washington he's threatening russia with a new wave of sanctions sentiment was echoed by german chancellor angela merkel who said that the e.u. is also considering stepping up its economic restrictions however the german opposition is not supporting the move. as we stated it does was different sanctions and a trade war i know means improving the situation on the country we have a spirit of his creation that has the german and european economists my experience
1:18 pm
is that many people are exactly the sanctions right from the start they have their rightful feeling that this is not the way to achieve anything. since the sanctions are always prove that the political means failed they're useless and they are harming the population sanctions always lead to losses on both sides you can already see the backlash from the sanctions but in the next couple of months it will be even more obvious. from the beginning it was the wrong approach because sanctions escalated the situation and did not ease the tensions as it was clear when the you impose sanctions that there would be a counter reaction and the stakes would be raised and now because of that a lot of entrepreneurs as well as the general public in germany has been affected by that. german automobile manufacturers remained optimistic despite the threat of more sanctions they flocked to moscow's glittering two thousand and fourteen
1:19 pm
european and chinese producers have rolled out some of the latest models and say that parts of the market in russia are blooming auntie's katie philbin got behind the wheel of the classic i think all of us women and you would be forgiven for thinking that the constant threat of global sanctions against not so wasn't really a feature all the fun but the car industry is taking a little bit of a slump at the moment it's a bit of a rocky ride bus the bus market is still one that everyone here wants to tap into and that's the case in about five years time that a bit say the german one was the biggest in the u.s. if we do take sanctions in mind this need not be german industry headed by about twenty five bucks i spoke to the company and they didn't seem to think i'm a rather optimistic about basis. to remain absolutely dedicated to your strategy of growth in russia we believe that differently and that growth is still going to
1:20 pm
continue over the next few months in years to come and then when you look at it two over two million vehicles are being sold in russia right now which is still one of the top of the lot of markets in the world now there is talk about sanctions being imposed upon the car industry specific play now this one affects foreign policy companies that produce that hey we've got some eighty percent of them some talk about so yourself for this town but what if the importing of components not something that the modified just one of the sickly enthused about there will be some policy or they all do you go straight from russia garment they already start for a bit to the cheap or something europe brands from europe to russia and. there will be something to you in the market i think we can see some to his base. we get a lot on your blogs as well executive that is still growing and that that marks the rain while the boston. russians have
1:21 pm
a bit of looks really for sure they do. we're very happy here with a very healthy market so we typically have over thirty percent of all of our looks reebok get to the automobile sector they want the very best so whatever they buy this is the last days that's not. a still step to be our rapport with them or on side that of the nineteen global brand and one b.n. visit is expected still be enough to drive the markets. now almost three metres high and sixteen kilometers long i'm not talking about a high security prison but in fact the fencing that's been erected ahead of nato summit next week in the world's capital cardiff so-called ring of steel is meant to protect one hundred fifty world leaders along with thousands of staff and journalists during the two day event you case foreign office fears that islamic state terrorists could be planning attacks to disrupt that summit police forces
1:22 pm
from across the u.k. have been called in to maintain the security the total cost of the measures is yet to be discovered but some critics claim that downing street could be about to foot a bill of up to fifty million pounds. and residents aren't too happy with the security measures either some locals they took to twitter to express their anger comparing the city to a mass prison trade has reportedly fallen by a third since that fence was put up and cart of businessmen david limousine he told us about his own personal struggles. it's very difficult it's a difficult time for a lot of the local businesses and also for people work you cardiff is right in the city center around cardiff castle and it runs right the way around a very large area it's the middle of a commuter route and it disrupts the major roadways through into the city no one's really sure what will happen in cardiff in the city center i know a lot of businesses will be trying to stay away from from the area maybe is
