we asked why would they do it. the last televised debate before the vote, scotland used the the pound without england's permission. also on the program, more on our top story. aaron is looking at what's at stake for the business world. >> absolutely. big bosses from the world's biggest businesses backing talks to resolve a crisis between russia and ukraine. they say tit for tat sanctions could cause the economy to grind to a halt. that would be bad news for russia but also bad for all of u us. hello. midday here in london. 3:00 p.m. moscow, 2:00 p.m. kiev where ukrainian security services have released pictures of paratroopers captured near donetsk. it says they were on a special

mission rejecting russia's account that soldiers crossed the border by mistake. timing is crucial. poroshenko meets his russian counter part vladimir putin for talks. we'll be live shortly where that is happening. nick reports on the latest. >> reporter: a raging tire cast a fog over donetsk in ukraine's troubled east. a result of shelling as forces and pro russian separatists continue their deadly struggle. tensions are on the rise again. these are some of the ten russian paratroopers kiev forces have captured in a direct russian incursion in the east of the country. the the latest word from moscow that the troops crossed the border by mistake. at the weekend, the separatists paraded captured ukrainian government troops through the streets of donetsk, their main

strong hold. hardly overture. moscow continues to deny it. u.s. national security advisor tweeted repeated russian incursions into ukraine unacceptable, dangerous, inflammatory. they represent significant escalation. >> before he left, the ukrainian president announced the resolution of the parliament. >> translator: i made the decision about the early termination of the parliament. elections will take place. the decision was made due to the ukrainian constitution. >> the president's rationalal to rid the parliament of predecessor's influence.

on the ground in the east ukrainian government forces have been pushing separatists back adding to pressures on them and the kremlin and entrenching diplomatic decisions that seem far apart. >> well let's get an update on that meeting from the bbc russian service in the capital for us. what format is this meeting taking? how face to face is it? >> reporter: well not sure. certainly russian president's main business is meeting of the customs union. he needs to meeting with poroshenko of ukraine. it's probably going to take placeoroshenko was first to arr in kiev. the result of details of talks have not been disclosed. we knew the meeting should have

taken place. strangely late last night russian sources say the meeting is possible. it's less possible than it was last week. we still don't know. what is certain that the events of past few days are not adding anything to solutions. actually just a compromise. no one expects break through, anything grand to happen here. the best we could hope for is just laying down the terms. who says what and whether sides agree. for the past few months the line has been the same. ukraine saying to russia stop the flow of weapons and fighter across the border. russia says talk to your own people, people in lieu happens. these are people insta gaited from russia. it's probably going to continue.

the best hope is just starting the compromise working. >> thanks very much. let's go to kiev where have we can speak to ukrainian politician who supports the ukrainian government. in moscow, the director general of the russian international affairs council. welcome to you both. how really can russia explain its soldiers being inside ukraine as much as 20 kilometers as a mistake? >> well i think the logic is clear. the russian government maintains it was accidental. given the mass at border, they could have made a mistake. they probably would add some of ukrainian soldiers also crossed the russian border not just once but a couple of times. definitely it's an indicator russia is engaged. we can discuss the scale of engagement, format of this engagement.

definitely russia is part of the whole picture. >> let's discussion briefly how big a part of the picture it is. russia is involved in what is going on many ukraine. >> exactly. this is the line of the kremlin. the opposition here wouldn't agree to that. sorry. >> do continue. >> my point is that of course if you take if official cabinet position, the cabinet clearly denied any kind of direct interference. they maintain that this is a public uprising that has roots and really not instigated outside the country. we clearly know many in russia will support the movement in east ukraine and would like the donetsk republic and luhansk republic to gain if not independence but autonomy from

kiev. >> your perspective from kiev. >> the thing is there has been too many accidents. they were shelling from russian artillery and missile launchers on ukrainian troops. there are already reports about that. russian paratroopers getting to combat and then in russia claiming it was a shell explosion on some russian training grounds. now paratroopers get 20 kilometers from the ukrainian russian border. it's all too much for mistake. all in all, we see that russian troops actually ignited the uprising in eastern ukraine. we saw the leaders of the so called republic are russian nationals. this gives a clear picture that we have russian instigators,

terrorist operation in ukraine. the way out as the situation is that the russians pull away their paratroopers and seal the border not to allow terrorists and tanks coming in from the russian side. then it will be resolved. people in lieu happens and donetsk do not support acts of terrorism from so called people's republic. they want peace. this is what the government wants to. we see on that territory, there's order and return to normal life. this will actually happen if again russia pulls back and sees to it that militaries continue to flow from russian territory to ukrainian ones. >> well, you know, the russian position would be that we do not

control the people in donetsk or luhansk. they have their own goals. they might receive some support from russia. basically poroshenko and his team should make sure they'll be amnesty, this regions will be granted autonomy. rights of russian language will be respected. things like that. i think the message from putin is that he will though the allow them to win this war. this is a solution to work in this particular situation. we can criticize his position. i don't think that right now it means putin is ready to step back from this position because if he does, it means serious political defeat for him which might residence nate inside russia.

>> has poroshenko so far shown himself unable to change the situation? how can any political situation come out of any meeting any time soon? >> well, actually the political situation is majority of population supports his choice. in parliament we have majority to support european values and integration of other european structures. so the political outcome is different realization. it shows a position for all main political forces and the regions of ukraine given more humanitarian autonomy to the region. there's no contradiction and no reason to wage a terrorist war. this is why the only way for peace is that russia stops supporting terrorism in ukraine

and then it will be quite easy and fast to return to order and peace. >> we must leave it there. thank you very much to you both gentlemen. for more, you can visit our website. plenty more background and analysis on ukraine as well as the key figures in the conflict as well as a time line on the crisis. go to bbc.com/ukraine. other stories this hour. senior officials say president obama has authorized surveillance flights over syria intended to gather intelligence on the islamic state mill at that point group. fishes said mr. obama okayed flights over the weekend. there's already flights over neighboring iraq. the court ruled the company

pound. >> there's other options for scotland. we could have a flexible currency like sweden or norway. that's what denmark does with euro. seeking a mandate for how the pounds stay. we pay our mortgages, get our wages in pound. >> he says scotland could use the pound even without the formal arrangements with england. if that were to happen, it would not be the first nation to peg currency to another. the south american nations panama, ecuador and zimbabwe all use similar currency. this has turned into a big issue. they spent a lot of time talking about it. i don't know how much the scottish public were insued by that. i guess it's important.

examples around the world, countries use other currencies because they want to. >> it's a very big subject. it's a big issue for scotland. they could use the pound without the permission of the rest of the uk. as you said, countries like panama have done that well over 100 years. they use the u.s. dollar. they have no input to policy, control the exchange rate. they feel it's better to use the u.s. dollar than to try and have their own. >> is that entirely negative reasons because of inadequate says and worries about their own currency which wouldn't be there in the case of scotland? it's normally seen as a sign of weakness. your economy is so weak and badly managed, you use someone else's currency. >> a sign of failure? >> a sign of failure. corruption is not going to be so bad you're going to use everything.

if you use the u.s. dollar, american companies can can invest in your country. it's not going to disappear overnight. this is not a sign of weakness in some countries because they're surrounded by those that use the euro. there are countries like kosovo that use the euro because they're close to the euro and their neighbors also use the euro. it makes sense for them. it's normally a sign of weakness not to have control of your own currency. >> that could be would be the down side of taking another currency. you don't have to stay in it. you would if you have your own central bank. >> now, there used to be and still is national bank of france. the european central bank is in charge of the euro. all those countries have a vote in how the european central bank is set 36789 interest rates, economic policies, how it

protects euro movements. all things are lcontrolled. national banks exist, do things in france, germany, italy. the thing for scotland, if it used the pound without the agreement of uk government, it wouldn't have the say at bank of england about interest rate, about other policies, about how the policy is run. it would have to take what is given. >> we'll hear more about this in the next three weeks. thanks very much. stay with us here on bbc world news. still to come, bringing the world's rarest bird back from the brink. we travel to madagascar to investigate why this species is in crisis. asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. you know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity

the u.s. says egypt and the united arabics were behind air strikes in libya from the last week. the attacks attacked islamist fighters. the libya government claims it doesn't know who is behind the strikes. the country is in a state of lawlessness that began in 2011. there are around 1,700 well armed militia groups operating, many of whom formed alliances with each other. parliament is away from main cities to escape. tripoli's international airport is overrun. the group was targeted by air strikes the u.s. says were carried out by egypt and uae. so far the egyptian authorities denied involvement. there's been no direct comments in the uae.

we have ha. is libya in danger of becoming a failed state? >> it was some time ago to be honest. he formed the state for him to be completely indespeinsable. when he fell, he took part of it with him. we're suffering three years later. the revolution after he was struck from power failed to build a new state to replace the corrupt and totally lawless type of state he had. it led to this particular case now. >> three years on, explain for us the sort of proxy battleground that has developed in libya with the varying sides, one antiislamist block on one

side with saudi, egypt and uae and qatar on the other. >> the libyans have been plaining about external interference into for some years now. we're seeing the repercussions for that polarization across the region playing out over the next couple of days if reports are to be confirmed. they haven't as yet. this sort of interference from the outside actually started several years ago. you saw complaints from within libya about that interference and involvement from qatar and turkey and other places as well as egypt and uae much earlier on. definitely if yesterday's strikes of the past week are anything to go by, it means another notch in that polarization across the region. >> how worrying would you find it if that is confirmed we have a very active military engagement from external powers. >> it means indeed that the

stakes have been put higher. i don't think we can reasonably assume there's a lessoning of tensions any time soon. there's a new parliament that's been put into force over the last few weeks. new elections that swept a lot of the political groups that support r the islamist militias from power. the islamist side is still backing the former gnc, general national congress. i think you're going to see that sort of struggle for legitimacy continue for some time to to come. one would hope on a regional basis, different powers would act to try to restore some sort of stability and legitimacy so that the democratic policy. they're unable to agree on standards. i think you'll see further instances of this polarization conduct itself if not a proxy war than something similar to

it. >> thank you very much. joining me from cairo there. british conservationists say the world's rarest bird needs a new wet land home if the species has chance of increasing in numbers. destruction of the bird's habitat means a population, just 25 of them are living at one remote lake in northeast madagascar. the lake is running out of food. >> this little brown duck is hanging on at the brink of extinction. in the 1990s the species was thought to have died out. in 1996 scientists found a tiny population at this lake. most of the ducklings starved and died before they reached adulthood. the lake is not as perfect as it looks. analysis of mud from the lake bed shows there's not enough food for the young birds.

poachers used to thrive wet lands across this country. so many of those were destroyed by human activity that ducks were driven to one remote site that doesn't provide the habitat they need. there's hope for this duck. two years ago the first were hatched in captivity. conservationists say if they can find and restore a duck friendly site, these could be brought back to the wild. now we like to bring you unusual pictures here on bbc news. here is one example. two farmers in it has mania found the sheep they believe has been wondering wild for six years and never been sheered. they nicknamed it shaun. wondering on their farm, they decided to take him in. they estimate this coat or

liberian doctor. the world health organization says more than 120 health workers have now died from ebola this year. it was hoped the doctor would have had a better chance at recovery as one of a handful of people given the experimental drug. it's not clear whether the drug was ineffective or if he died from other complications. it's been given to two other liberians, a spanish priest and two americans. the priest died, but the americans recovered. dr. kyle brantley was one of them, seen here speaking to press last week. his recovery gave hope it can work. supplies ran out. it will take time to make more. the outbreak has killed 1,400 people. a canadian firm has announced the vaccine has been given to

four monkeys, what would have been a lethal dose to the virus. two monkeys not injected with the vaccine died. this could intensify after the democratic congo reported two cases, first outside west africa. these appear to be a different strain. the world health organization is sending protective equipment to help. the virus can be contained with right facilities. a british man that caught the disease in sierra leone is receiving care. health systems are struggling to cope. the u.n. described the outbreak as a war that could take six months to win. bbc news. >> in a crisis like this, information and misinformation compete to gain ground. no more is this more true than west africa. there are rumors and myths impeding health workers.

themselves and their families. >> we're going to listen to something you've been broadcasting. this is a jingle with information contained. >> always wash your hair with soap and water. always cook your food very well. ♪ go to the health facility any time you have headache ♪ ♪ ebola, it can kill but it can be prevented ♪ ♪ ebola, ebola >> a message from the minister of health and social welfare and parties. >> listening to, that it might be surprising to some people it's remarkably upbeat in the tone. why is that more effective? >> i think the fear that surrounds ebola whether in

sierra leone or uk, the fear is palpable. we found people respond to information when they feel positive, when they feel there's something they can do. we've been working with local musicians, a musician people would recognize in sierra leone. it's a rhythm people there recognize. we're working with local radio stations, musicians and experts to make sure people understand you can prevent yourself and family from catching ebola. there's simple ways you can do it. what we're trying to do is get people to understand not to fear but instead to seek treatment as soon as they have symptoms. there's a good chance they can survive it. to make sure they take the simple steps to prevent the spread of the virus. >> caroline, we have to leave it there. from bbc media action, we wish

advertising group says the crisis in ukraine and sanctions that have followed are the single biggest worry facing international business. have a listen to this. >> the most worrying issue this year is russia and impact of sanctions. if you look at our results, russia which is two and a half to 3% including ukraine is actually strong. we expect that to come off as the impact of sanctions are quite further and harder. we've seen a number of ceos called for discussions and communications. i think that is pretty key and important. open lines of communication at this time are important. ultimately sanctions of russia are having an impact on the german economy in particular which has the closest trading relationship with russia of all countries in europe.

>> okay. let's move on. let's go to india where fascinating story. women have not been allowed to work as makeup artists in the film bollywood or television industry for some 60 years. the ban has been enforced by unions. today that could change. the indian supreme court we're it watching for is about to rule on whether makeup artists can work in film despite being a woman. if she wins, it will be another sign of the profound changes underway in the country. when it comes to the role of women. let's go over to our own in delhi and appropriately in a makeup room. great to have you on the program. for me, people around the world watching this, we sort of struggle to get our head around it. i think most places around the world i think it's fair to say women would dominate the makeup industry. >> reporter: absolutely. even here as you see behind me. it's a makeup school we're in.

women come here the to learn the art of makeup. the problem is they can't legally work in bollywood, the biggest industry in india and other film industries. the unions are just so strong. they will not allow a woman to participate. they haven't begin a woman membership this the last 59 years. it's a real struggle for women. they can work in print ads or ad firms or weddings. they work in that. they're asking for the access into bigger industry which is bollywood and movies. >> i'm curious if she wins, obviously a great victory for women in india. what is the industry say? what will it mean for the industry? >> reporter: absolutely. her case is one of a kind. it's surprising nobody has

questions this for so long. her case has been taken up by the national commission for women, the highest authority taking care of women's rights in this country. they've taken it to highest court, supreme court of india. anybody is expecting the verdict to be positive. it can change lives. thousands of women across the country. a lot of women come from cities, small towns, low economic backgrounds. to be a makeup artist is a huge profession. it's respectable, gives a livelihood you can rely on. safe working hours. they can go to places they can work safely. a lot of women are waiting for this rule to be changed. >> we're waiting for that verdict. quick question, did the ladies behind you do your makeup? >> reporter: no unfortunately not. maybe next time i'll be lucky to get them to do my makeup.

>> let's touch on other stories making headlines around the world. south africa, it narrowly avoided recession. economy grew 0.6% in the three month period ending in june. we talked about it a lot. a series of strikes and industrial disputes causing the economy to shrink. the country is overtaken by nigeria's biggest economy. this one, the biggest online retailer, amazon has bought twitch for nearly a billion. you tube had been in talks with the company. it allows people to watch other people play video games. it's got 55 million unique monthly viewers. travellers in virgin australia will be able to use mobile phones and electronic devices during flights. that's happening from today. the new rule allows

the battle to fight wildfires which is thousands of feet in the air. we're meeting california's elite fire smoke jumpers. colorfully brilliant screen that blows the competition out of the water. what is this? i thought i was doing the announcing... stunningly thin and effortlessly light..." i was literally about to say that. it certainly has the best screen of any samsung tablet. and i would add... or of any tablet, period. or of any tablet, period. see, buddy... teamwork. introducing the galaxy tab s with twice the resolution of hdtv, it's the world's most entertaining device. get it now at amazon. oh no. who are you? daddy, this is blair, he booked this room with priceline express deals and saved a ton. i got everything i wanted. i always do. he seemed nice.

you're watching "gmt" here on bbc world news. the top story this is hour. russian military sources say ten of its soldiers captured in ukraine crossed the border by mistake. it comes as the country's two leaders are meeting. the u.s. says egypt and united arab were among air strikes against militia at libya's main airport. it says it was caught off guard by the attacks. to football now. it hasn't been the dream start

to the premiere league season they would have liked, but after a british record, $100 million on the winger, could things be about to improve? maybe. with no champions league football for the club this year, is this a fair price or sign of desperation? dan is outside for us. how is this being seen? >> reporter: well, i think united fans are excited. after all it's a new british record in terms of a transfer. it smashed the current record set back in 2011 when fernando moved. i believe fans will be excited they're bringing players of this stature to the club. they're quite desperate, it's fair to say, united. they've come off the back of one of the worst seasons in living memory.

they missed out on european football all together under david more. he tried to replace the manager after years of success and sacked as a result of that dismal seventh place finish many the end of last season. they brought in louis. he's struggling already. i think the united hierarchy are generally worried. they have to honor big enter free payments. there's a huge debt saddled on manchester united. missing out for a second season is unthinkable. it's because of that they're engaging in this incredible spending splurge on new players. of course the argentinian star who shined at the world cup is the most high profile. he's not the only one. they've spent, would you believe, extraordinary 132 million pounds this summer

alone. united really are going for broke in this bid to try to reclaim former glories. >> you mentioned high expectations not reflected on the pitch yet. one wonders what sort of time scale there is before people get worried all over again. >> reporter: very little time is fair to say. in football, it's a short term business. there's huge pressure on this club to try and forge a new identity under this new manager to bring in new players and get back as i said to successful years they've enjoyed so long. it won't be easy. they're out of the champions league. that makes it harder to attract the really stellar players, best in the world. they're up against other club who is these days can match united when it comes to transfer fees and indeed wages as well. the wages around 200,000 pounds a week, huge amount of money. some say it's obscene. if he does help kick start a

much needed revolution here, fan as will say he's worth it. >> thank you very much. dan outside now. now as parts of america endure another summer of drought, wildfires threaten large areas in california. bbc spent the day with elite fire fighting smoke jumpers. their parachute into the wilderness to get the flames under control. > > . >> the best part is jumping out of the airplane. you're only 1,500 feet up which isn't that high. they say get in the door and get ready. you exit and jump out. that's pretty crazy. then when the parachute opens up and everything is quiet, you've got this one minute 30 seconds maybe two minutes of nobody is talking to you, you're not talking to anybody. it's totally quiet. you're flying through the air. you're in control.

your jump spot is different sizes and shapes. it's like you're solving this the little problem in the air. it's touch yup to you to get th. nobody can help you. it's a great feeling. i'm 29 and a rookie smoke jumper in redding, california. when the horn goes off for us, it's a great feeling. you know, you get in the locker room. if you're not suiting up to get on the plane, you're helping other people suit up. you've got your jump suit. there's a harness where the parachute you attach to that. if it's not attached properly, obviously you're going to have a bad day. >> i'm gretchen. i'm 25. i've been a smoke jumper -- this is my third season. i'm the only female smoke jumper here in california. i don't have feel like i have to act like a guy or have male

mannerisms or anything. i think i'm respected and appreciated as a woman here. you know, we have the same standards for men and women. i think that helps out a lot in terms of getting respect. >> my title here is smooth jump operations manager. i've been jumping out 16, 17 years. once we drop the guys, they set up the area for the cargo mission and where we throw the fire boxes, whatever else they need. in the boxes there's two sleeping bags, tools, food for three days for two people. once they do the safety briefing on the fire perimeter, they go to fire operations which is cutting your material that can burn away from the fire and creating an area that won't burn. you're going down to mineral soil. our largest hazard is out in the

wilderness wild land area where anything is possible. >> amazing. breaking bad, the story of a chemistry teacher who turns to making illegal drugs has won five award at the emmys including best drama. it's one of my favorites of all time. the ceremony started with a moving tribute to the actor and comedian found dead in his home in california two weeks ago. we have reports from los angeles. >> the emmys are a celebration of best of american television, increasely -- increasingly attracting stars. >> this is a horrible category. i'm glad i'm not in this

category. >> it was quite a lineup for one of the biggest categories, outstanding lead actor. "mad men" jon hamm lost again.
