my colleague kevin owen discussed saturday's developments with william doris from the international action center in new york and he believes the army's gains won't be enough for kiev. it's no great act of heroism to show a civilian community and then raise your flag over it it's no great accomplishment the world this year is celebrating the seventy fifth anniversary of the start of world war two and it's. terrible tragic that seven for the first time since the war ended for the first time in seventy years artillery an aerial bombardment is falling on the cities of eastern ukraine and villages where so many people died in that war this is an all out war by the poroshenko government on its own people and it's being funded by the united states and. it appears they are not willing to stop even with suppressing opposition in east ukraine. now the poroshenko obviously being goaded on and encouraged by washington is saying we will have a victory parade in crimea let's from now focus on donetsk it's a reasonably big city with more than a million people living there the resistance back in there no

creation of a new financial institution and energy agreements within the group earlier my colleague kevin owen asked political analyst william doris about the prospects for brics the so many arteries of economic life in the world since the end of world war two and especially since the end of the cold war have been controlled by a handful of wall street banks either directly or indirectly to rage and see like the international monetary fund and world bank and they have used their power their power to force privatization shut down of industry all kinds of progressive. programs on countries around the world and it'll be a wonderful thing of the very good thing for humanity if the brics countries whatever their differences are among them are able to create some kind of alternative when they're also talking to about maybe creating a new internet to help data theft to keep data safe from foreign prying eyes with us tell us about these countries desire to go it alone in more and more areas. well i think that what the united states is doing as far as spying on its own so-called allies in germany. show

now my colleague kevin owen spoke to an israeli defense force spokes person to get his reaction on the beach incident he says that the military will investigate but he insists hamas is responsible for an escalation that threatens israel. i've seen some of the footage coming out of it indeed those look tragic and we will have to look into the circumstances of what it was i don't have any answers at the moment you all are hitting these people you may not have nothing against them but it's such a densely populated area there must be a better way to do this you've been fighting with hamas for such a long time now hamas hasn't changed what it's doing you haven't changed what you're doing is wrong to the eye and the other way other than the carnage to get through this you know the i.d.f. is devoted and we are charged with defending the state of israel and in the reality of a huge bombardment where over a thousand four hundred rockets have been launched at the state of israel it's a reality nobody would agree to and nobody would commit and that is we are the responsible force to try and defen

over again even she would say pm here in moscow kevin owen you with r.t. international one story dominating the breaking news that a moscow metro train derailed in the morning rush hour at least twenty one people are dead because of it those on board took pictures of the immediate aftermath that train was at its full speed of seventy kilometers or when the emergency brakes activated the first three carriages then collided setting the train off the track more than one hundred sixty people were injured over one hundred are in hospital tonight around a dozen bodies are still thought to be trapped in the wreckage. here i. think i. could know how to get a worse time of day for there was a good time for the house but this tragedy just a few kilometers from the city center the damage line is one of the main railways into most cars financial center and some key government buildings but correspond to roman culture of. the station near victory park which is in the west of the capital of the roman what details are emerging tonight about what went so badly wrong in th

well earlier my colleague kevin owen spoke with two british military experts about the possible implications for the yukos defense forces should scotland separate the remainder of the u.k. will still have defense forces all i would say is that if you have. single unit three fourths and you split it into two parts then it inevitably costs money to set up the other part with all the admin and things like that and it ends up less efficient so there will be less money effectively and we already don't spend enough on defense assuming that an independent scotland supplication to join nato was successful then. scotland would expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa i think when we talk about defense and independence called the all roads eventually lead to tried and now the s.n.p. government has said it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory however there are huge implications in that because there appears to be no where the trident fleet plus warheads could go in the u.k. in the short to medium term and to move it would be

good evening my name is kevin owen here in moscow tonight's just past eleven pm we appreciate you company our top story the ukrainian army is reportedly been launching attacks on towns and villages in the east which kiev a declared a no combat zone it's an area around forty kilometers wide around the site of the malaysian plane crash one resident told r.t. that the still being bombed. my friend's holiday home was shelled from rocket launches and that's what they found in their backyard but he did go to consummate luckily no one was killed but the entire village has. and raised it's no farther than ten kilometers from here and the president promised us a forty kilometer no comfort zone i took the shell with me to show it to the international observers working on the side now my way here i saw two fighter jets and shortly after wards the sounds of bombs explode and my mom just called me and said they had been bombed. our correspondent roman culture of donetsk. as i'm talking right now we just heard the sound of multiple rocket launchers being fired at a distance and that's basically been ha

both sides in the up or down campaign promise to step up their game kevin owen discussed possible scenarios with campaigners i feel depressed at the thought of scotland breaking away i think it diminishes us all fight to be quite honest i don't think the s.n.p. . they had really thought through in detail the implications of some things and defense was one of the ones they haven't thought it through in great detail i think when we talk about defense and independent scotland all roads eventually lead to tried and. based on the clyde and scottish government which is by no means a done deal then it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory u.k. government's position has been that they don't think that this will happen the cost of redeploying of the trident the ballistic missile submarines and the weapons is huge i've talked to the head of some of the big firms that have small offshoots in scotland they will move south it will be a catastrophe for scottish defense industry the senate defense and distance itself will be feeling very very carefully looking at t

choosing us is twenty eight minutes past ten at night here in moscow next live update just off with me kevin owen next the meet the man whose mission it is to root run corruption in the european union he talks to sophie shevardnadze after the break. a friend of mine flew in from germany and he said that as he was leaving he looked into do stand at the airport and on the front page of twelve german publications were basically titles like tunes missile destroyers airplane alluding to the crash malaysian airplane that fell into the combat zone in eastern ukraine this isn't just some fluke that my friend saw all these newspapers together the entire mainstream media has made the same bold speculations i think this is interesting for two reasons one the way that the mainstream press jumped onto the story with exactly the same headlines and exactly the same angles really makes me want to start believing in conspiracy theories especially when an investigation had been conducted yet there wasn't any formal evidence.
