your ex-girlfriend still paints tear jerking poetry. norrish. we post only what really matters at r.t. to your facebook you st. mass desertion for ukraine's army as over four hundred soldiers cross into russia asking for shelter and the largest but not the first such case of though promises a rapid victory over the malicious also. you. do that now. broken truce palestinians say israel has violated its own ceasefire by attacking a refugee camp in gaza and killing a child there just twenty minutes after announcing the way it's humanitarian window . and jihad islamic state fighters consolidated their hold over iraq by capturing and other oil fields a dam and three more towns. seven

pm i'm asking what you are to international with me marina joshing welcome to the program over four hundred ukrainian troops have crossed the russian border appealing for sanctuary it's the largest number of ukrainian military personnel to lay down arms and and to russia but it's not the first time arches where it's an optional is at the checkpoint where the soldiers arrived. four hundred thirty eight ukrainian military have indeed laid down their arms and have crossed into russia through the checkpoint that you can see behind me looking for a shelter here in russia they explained that they were trying to escape and then against and to government forces on the ukrainian territory we have been able to speak to the head of russia's regional border control service here and he told us that more than one hundred eighty of them wanted to come back to ukraine and some

of them were inside that they're ready to come back to the army they were provided with rose protection and they're now on their way but others said that they refuse to fight against their own people and they diffract they will be staying for some time these refugee camp that you can see behind me some of them even asked for refugee status he have confirmed this incident just to find its military behavior is saying that the commander of the battalion took this decision to say he's soldiers' lives and deeds not for the first time that there's we see something like this happening just last weekend we saw another dozen of the ukrainian military and last month more than forty old them lay down their arms and course in into russia seeking shelter here some of them were saying that they refused to fight against their own people in this conflict but others were complaining about the situation in the ammunition and lack of training or does more of a national reporting there and give denies that the soldiers who crossed into

russia earlier today asked for sanctuary retaining the manpower necessary affords operation in the east as not proved the spider launching three recruitment drives since the start of the crackdown his army is struggling to fill its rank and file. military analysts say the army needs over eleven billion dollars to replace old weapons and machinery just a couple of days ago a little under eight hundred million was allocated to the military from the state's reserve fund the soldiers are running out of food and have to rely on handouts and there is a website set up by civil activists calling on people to donate food to the army on top of that ukraine's leaders appeared to be struggling to pay their soldiers and just recently the country's parliament introduced a military tax takes a closer look at the state of the ukrainian army. they're being called up to serve

their country but with complaints of having to fire on their own people diminishing supplies and poor living conditions more wrong and the ukrainian army seems to be hitting rock bottom. is that. these new. consumers prefer we. are says there. are other. and it's not just poor equipment frustrating the troops as many are forced to live on supplies sun from home we had to got most of the bread from these eight love they only have a small edible part in the middle but there are a lot of people here. for a good while others say they're being left to fend for themselves you know. the you know there was

a. boy oh. oh oh oh oh you. know you go. second all that into account it's hardly surprising that women in ukraine are begging their loved ones to stay put. mothers and wives of those who are going to be sent to the war zone held protests rallies and strikes across the country in an effort to block the ongoing recruitment drive and it's not only out of fear for their lives. but the reason it was last. year he needs to leave that doesn't mean that you could be fifteen years come look. like the crimean army should have money to feed and equip their soldiers they get extra cash from online fund raising campaigns a special military tax salaries cuts and from sales over so-called separatists

here's mineral water but it appears the proceeds don't always reach the soldiers as of august the first will have nothing to pay the military. confrontations are not being reported in loyalist western regions as well despite their earlier support for the crackdown. this is what happened to one local government official when he tried to encourage men to join the army. suggests that he should go to the front lines in south. korea cautioned by our team ukraine's budget is being drained by the military operation in the east according to the country's defense ministry could be two point five billion dollars short of calm and of the year and legal expert always anima course believes financial woes are team's biggest problem right now the problem it seems to me that kiev has is not so much lack of weapons which is what presumably the west and west would

provide as the simple economic burden of moving tens of thousands of people into the eastern ukraine and keeping them there and at the same time they're all overseen major problems of command and control within the ukrainian army itself and i just don't see how all of that can be sorted out in a few weeks before the winter weather closes in. despite the desertion ukraine's the fans' minister says troops are very close to victory over local militias praising the progress the army has made in recent days ukrainian forces are closing in on their resistance strongholds in the city of donetsk with a population of almost a million as one of them it's been under continuous shelling for weeks with residential areas frequently coming under a fire well these are the latest pictures we have received from the outskirts of deniece which is also in regional capital they purportedly show family homes

practically you raised to the ground apparently by army shelling local say there were no anti-government forces stationed in the area. and these pictures also emerging from the outskirts of the nazi allegedly show ukrainian tanks entering the city in the past couple of hours russia's foreign ministry has claimed key of is concentrating ballistic missile launchers near the city which is still controlled by local militia last month c.n.n. reported sighting u.s. intelligence sources that ukraine is using heavy ballistic rockets against anti-government forces the pentagon is reportedly urged to have to exercise restraint russia's foreign minister compared the plight of the people in eastern ukraine to that of palestinians in gaza the population there suffers no less than the civilian population in gaza with just one difference israel has come under rocket fire from gaza and how to respond to it albeit disproportionately.

manny all the residents of libya which is another target of its crackdown say they are too scared to leave their homes you know let alone send their children should go in the guard and luckily no one was inside this building when it was hit by rockets last agents reports of civilians being killed common almost every day was more urban areas getting hit residents and lugansk say a crowd of shop came under fire in one of the latest attacks. there was a crowd of thirty to forty people standing outside then came a loud whistling noise in a flash the explosion was just across the road about fifteen meters away we opened the shop door so everyone could hide there were splinters all over the place the shop windows in front is damaged as you can see. we're closely watching the situation in ukraine on air and online as well our website team has minute by minute updates from the war torn country and that's better t.v. dot com. the.

palestinians are accusing israel of breaching its own truce by bombing a house and one of gaza refugee camps twenty minutes after the latest ceasefire was announced they say an eight year old girl was killed and thirty people were injured in the attack the seven hour humanitarian window was declared to facilitate the flow humanitarian aid and let hundreds of thousands of displaced gazans return home the i.d.f. says the pause does not apply to the town of rafah in southern gaza where three israeli soldiers died recently in an ambush of homes after sunday saw ten people killed in a school run by the united nations was shelled. with the say that many were at the gates of the time of this. israel says the incident

may be linked to an attempt by its army to kill the mosque gunmen as they drove by the u.n. shelter the world body at repeatedly informed the i.d.f. were it's the saudis are ok but just last week twenty people were killed in another bombing of a un school in gaza. can you get there when. you. do that and yet. when. i was did i leave. anything i could have taken. and the bombing of the gaza shelter caused our age around the world un chief banki moon described it as a criminal act and a gross violation of humanitarian law he says the madness of war that's wreaking

havoc in gaza must stop even israel's main backer the us has its appalled by what it calls the disgraceful shelling but israel continues to insist the schools are used to store weapons we talked to medics without borders advisor michele back from the hospital. you know gaza is a very small area it's seven kilometers and thirty kilometers so it's one point seven million people living in this very small area and still even in this area we have shelled every night eighty percent are civilians than three hundred of the best children and just just. one hour ago that's you can't even if we say cease fire now it's supposed to be ceasefire not even one hour will go schatz a camp has been shelled and i just passed through the emergency room and again

children women elderly. civilians. now the israeli army is working hard to justify its mission on sunday it released a video of what it says was a precision strike on a hamas rocket launcher hidden inside one of gaza's residential areas and there are also images of i.d.f. soldiers removing motorbikes from what it said was a hymn astana we're going to talk now to ana stein from israel's foreign ministry thanks so much for joining us here in r.t. international well quite a tense situation there for israel i mean look you're getting pressure from the international community even your close ally of the united states and strongly condemned the latest attack on a un school calling it quote a disgraceful shelling so what is it is israel's position on this i mean is israel not afraid of losing an ally such as the united states in all this.

the u.s. is our closest ally and it will remain so and even amongst allies you sometimes have disagreements and so no we're not worried about that and we know that they know just as well that this is a terror going to zation that we're fighting terror going to zation that's want to bring destruction i want to remind you that even today we have and humanitarian ceasefire for quite a few hours and while the palestinian well the people in gaza from us kept on shooting at us just today twenty three rockets when we left the passages be opened in order to bring in more don't have a lot i don't know what i'm seeing here you know in gaza we see them as hostages the disagreement here was not about him us it was about civilians innocent civilians they were being killed here yes and unfortunately the hamas uses these people as human shields i don't you don't have to believe me you can believe them the hamas spokesperson goes out into

the public and you can see it on video saying we are happy that they are sacrificing their lives the women the children are sacrificing their lives what was going on the other hand. you know it's not by chance that they don't have shelters here but no united nation they have over so. why don't they have shelter ok you know i mentioned toward israel in a number of occasions about you know were civilian objects are located in the specifically this particular school why is it that israel has not hated that. the you and also said that they found missiles into one risk pools they went out and said it that's un schools that were used to hide missiles is that in any way relevant to the education of the children in gaza i don't think so so the un knows this is a very complex thing even when they were themselves in the shape of a cease fire and hamas said that they're going to respect that well that's a lot of my exams that are introductory ninety minutes broke that ceasefire yeah

but that seems like contradictory information. war in israel on a number of instances not just this particular school year and this is just another one when israel was warned about this that you know there are civilians in the school sheltering also u.n. secretary ban ki moon a cold your action a war crime but you know why does this not unsettle you. it unsettles us a lot we would not want to be in this situation in the first place that's why in the beginning we did not start a military operation but once you have rockets flown at you again and again i can imagine the people in russia and other places imagine moscow st petersburg leningrad london new york being bombed again and again we've passed a three thousand rockets that were shot at us in the last month three thousand rockets would you stand for it by the way we said with cease fire not one not twice three times and this is not a complicated i'm going to spend

a lot of you are much as i want to do it all international community is condemning israel i mean why is it that you're not paying attention to that you're not taking their concerns and board is there one country among the g. twenty states that supports israel in this can you name one. yes yes of course the whole e.u. went out and declared that the us has to be militarized meaning they understand that hamas has to weave draw all their weapons and stop being a threat to people in transit through and what he's going to what we heard him tell us your english and all i'm wrong actually actually we have a lot of support we will oh well we see it would not yes it will require a lot more and it's also really the sentimentalism and in london i mean they're all members of the e.u. and they are protesting against israeli actions there are you see masses of people protesting and condemning israel's actions

yes there is the leadership in these countries which understands what we are standing against which is terror and their people and some of them i must say are anti semitism the things that they say sometimes this jews go back to the gases so i think that is there at the summit i think even you can agree with me on this so when you have and this image is and there is a chance to show it on into the streets this happens definitely and it worries us a lot. but surely there are a lot of questions than answers at this point but for now they would like to send you for your views here a lot of stein from the israeli foreign ministry talking to us here in r.t. international. meanwhile the turkish prime minister has accused israel of deliberately killing palestinian mother and children this september the one said the country was attempting to create a master race just like hitler once tried and there was also plenty of end to israeli sentiment in jordan crowds gathered outside the u.s. embassy in amman burning american and israeli flags and into their lungs sounds of

the town of a rally in support of the people of gaza demonstrators lay flowers on top of small coffins representing palestinians killed by israeli airstrikes so. now there may be strong words from the united states against israel bombing gaza but it's quite different behind the scenes after the break we'll tell you about the new documents revealing the scale of washington's involvement it israel's military operations. i marinate join me. into impartial and financial reporting very

interview and much much. only on the bus and. in justifying their stance they're citing all sorts of what they see as international precedents in cost of the ad coming referendum in scotland but the response that they're hearing from the wife is that what you are doing is illegitimate but what we have been doing is to live like a marriage if you break into there still. there is or does is right. people for centuries like russia will try. like this straight. whether the america does is right because america does it.

on the back of what you are to international while the white house shakes its head at the audience bombing of gaza it turns out the n.s.a. has been close friends with israel for the past decade new documents released by glenn greenwald who broke the n.s.a. snooping scandal a year ago show washington's been providing intelligence as well as cash to combat palestinian terrorism has the details. when greenwald says that every time another attack on gaza takes place just like that shelling of the un school shelter the u.s. and public figures in the us talk about how devastating the conflict is as though it's some sort of natural disaster but in fact according to glenn greenwald the u.s. directly enables israel's actions so he cites for example documents that say that over the past decade the n.s.a. has expanded the number of ways in which it works with the israeli intelligence agencies he also talks about large payments large sums of money that have been paid

from the u.s. government over to israeli operatives now all this is on top of publicly available information that the u.s. government is continuing to supply israel with weapons such as i munition and grenade launchers amidst this very violent offensive now both the n.s.a. and g c h q have said that they won't comment on their existing relationships but everything they do is within the framework of the law now glenn greenwald says that legal or not these new documents highlight the role the u.s. role in israeli what he calls israeli aggression towards its neighbors he says that the help of the u.s. and its key allies is very covert and it is squarely at all with the image that the u.s. has cultivated of being a helpless by stand in this conflict of being completely detached in this conflict

this forward because there's no such thing as race in his society anymore however it has come in for criticism from the national afro swedish association who say that just legislating in remey or removing this wording from legislature isn't going to stop racists we remove her race. make it impossible to the reality. races or this invented in the race decided to try to take the conceptual tools away from us you leave us with terms such as foreign born or national born we think that is a way of miss the trying people keeping them from becoming a little and racially conscience we're not behind there and it's not just in sweden that new laws on tolerance are coming into place here in denmark you legislation is set to make it easier for transgender people to officially register their change of

gender without having previously had to undergo sexual reassignment surgery also what's going on here in scandinavia is a toy company is trying to set out the message of not gender stereotyping early on by issuing a catalogue in time for christmas it's going to show gender neutral toyah advertisements meaning little boys and little girls playing with things like toy ovens and toy workbenches not dependent on their gender in a message to try and spread the word quality and tolerance across the region. laws allowing people to change their gender on official documents without first having to undergo surgery your remote treatments have now been introduced in a number of european countries in germany parents can refrain from classifying their newborn babies as male or female leaving it up to the child to decide for itself later and it can even choose to believe it's sex and determine it but in france a plan to introduce genders classes in primary schools was scrapped after

a mass protest by outraged parents the idea was to teach kids that they can choose their own sexual identity. now it's a ghost stories from around the world rescuers are still searching for survivors after a six point one earthquake that hit time as you know province on sunday killing at least three hundred ninety one and injuring more than eight hundred others and officials expect the number of deaths to rise as rescuers scramble through the ruins of leveled villages rain and thunderstorms are being forecast which could hinder efforts to provide emergency relief for the victims. flooding has swung to a small town in northern bulgaria killing at least two people and oyster nine hundred two back in way to safety how do you rain caused a swollen river to burst its banks hundreds of homes remain underwater fishel describe the situation as critical and deadly flooding in east bulgaria and killed nearly a dozen people earlier this summer. and next we ask the founder

of america's notorious blackwater security firm whether civilian suffering is an avatar but when people are given a license to kill. 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 the system 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 on the high tech quote non lethal weaponry against the protesters they used an el red system which basically blasted the protesters with sound which sounds but intended to mean 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. ethel ends but why does this happen because they make breaking up protests easy and safe for the cops remember in the old days when you had to physically break up protests or 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 whenever they want for the sake of the constitution i think no police forces should be able to use this technology but that's just my opinion. clean. zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of war mongering politicians.
