just you stupid. if you see. it to be. all that you. know why young unarmed man was killed by police we'll take a look at that case in st louis that shining a spotlight on three shootings. over the weekend the u.s. continued airstrikes and supply drops to fight isis in iraq. would you come to use of t. . and new talks are underway to end the war in gaza both sides are meeting in egypt under another seventy two hour cease fire but there are no signs of anyone backing down as time ticks away more on that later in the show.

it's monday august eleventh four pm in washington d.c. i'm milledge han you're watching r.t. america. today would have been the first day of college for eighteen year old michael brown instead hundreds are taking to the streets to demand justice for him after brown was shot to death by police in ferguson a st louis missouri suburb the unarmed teen was reportedly jaywalking across the street when police attempted to pull him over for the infraction police say he made a move for their firearm while friends he was walking with tell a different story saying his arms were raised and was complying with police commands hours following his death many people took to the streets in what started out as a peaceful gathering that later resulted in a riot situation where three hundred officers were deployed and at least thirty two

people were arrested with two officers injured st louis county police are investigating the case as well as the f.b.i. to see if any of his civil rights were violated now earlier i spoke with miss mary radcliffe the missouri state conference president at the end. i first asked her what she thought this latest latest incident of lethal force by police on a young black male represents in race relations today. i think that this is a very unfortunate incident here in and st louis and we're seeing for too much of these incidents occur. and then a c p r r and amarin to take legal action and community actions and to make sure that with that justice comes to this young man who obviously it appears was shot down without cause we

are and they're going to meet with we will be meeting we are meeting now with mr crump the attorney for the family we ours presidency ego is only his way and i believe he's probably on the ground by now we hope to. have a nonviolent meetings but we hope to have productive meetings where the citizens will come together and say that this is unacceptable we will not it except that we are seeing too much of this and so that's what we are endeavoring to do here and we will we will be of course there will be press conferences this evening and there will be meeting later on. townhall meetings later on tonight so that we can come together we want this to be a nonviolent movement but we want to be a memorable movement that will take place to us to have the city of st louis and the nation to know that this is unacceptable and that if it happens that the in

a safety and the will come together to try to make sure that we get justice for this family who have been. child has been gunned down at much too early an age and now according to the officer that are involved they're saying that michael brown made an attempt for their gun what are you hearing on the ground about the moments that led to have that. we are getting entirely different story and i guess the family will be meeting and the lawyers will be laying that out in more detail later on today but we are getting it i believe with family members. who have said that this young man there was no threat to the officer at all the. young man without any arms was shot down. i believe one of his friends that was there with him correct me if i'm wrong said that he was walking with his hands

already up in the air is that what you're hearing as well that was that's what we were told we were told after he was shot that he ran and i guess he was shot again and he was just down to his knees with his hands up in the air saying don't shoot anymore when he was shot again now and the following day or so after his death those peaceful protests later erupted and to large scale rioting on the streets and looting of local businesses and many people are saying that that is. what can be done in terms of community leadership to keep people peaceful while calling attention to this tragic incident. well we certainly hope that we certainly cannot happen troll over all of the individuals that are in the act but the attempts at the press conferences and the community leading certainly that we will be calling for calm this and we will be trying to what we are doing here now that's why we

have legal people here so that we can say to the people that we are looking seeking justice but we can justice looting and that sort of thing does not help our case anybody at all but we are saying that we do not have been trolling around all of those individuals we believe that when they know that we have we have mr crump here that is there in the family we have the bobby who is representing the other individual and we have our c.e.o. coming into place and c.e.o. coming in of course and the st louis city people are here on the ground to try to let the family let the community know that this is an assignment that we don't intend to get swept under the rug because you know we've contacted the f.b.i. all of them legal agencies to have make sure and we've called on turning general to make sure that this case is due to cases in

a fair and equitable way and we want to be able to say that to the community and to the family right and what i want they want to want the rioting and the things that are the bad things happening on the streets to overshadow his death. absolutely we're not going to allow that to happen we're going to make sure that our case is heard and that the community will hear what we have to say in the community will be receptive to the fact that actions are being tightened and i think that this meeting tonight should do a lot to. help out with that do you feel that perhaps michael brown's gas could be another racially divisive case similar to the trayvon martin case absolutely i think so i think there's so much you know fairly well between what happened there and what what happened here we're seeing we're seeing more of that

and that's why we are taking the aggressive action that we are taking now to make sure that we put a stop to this now what do you feel that can be done to mitigate this kind of extreme violence or or use of lethal force by the police department i mean it has to start from their right to end this kind of violence and i have to mean what what what what has to happen is that the those individuals who commit crimes and those are crimes that the police are committed when they commit crimes that they are punished and if they're given punishment just punishment for what they've done we cannot continue to cover up what little police action and not take the cloak of law enforcement and not not make hold them accountable for that actions that they do i'm sure that we've got some good police officers out there but we also need to see those bad ones that we've got there we need to read them out and they need to they need to do the time that they need to do for the

crimes that they have committed because they have committed a crime. i thank you very much for that that was mary ratliff the missouri state conference president of the and the palacio payments rather thank you so much. has the pentagon covered up war crimes during operations in afghanistan today amnesty international released a new report entitled left in the dark which examines the record of accountability for civilian deaths caused by international military operations in afghanistan during the four year period from two thousand and nine to two thousand and thirteen the report documented the possible cover up and deliberate disregard of potential war crimes committed by u.s. military forces in particular ten incidents where at least one hundred forty civilians including fifty children were killed under suspicious circumstances and later the u.s. military's investigative practices falling far short of what was needed to ensure accountability for the alleged crimes now rafi cauchy the father of

a sixteen year old boy who was killed by u.s. special ops forces told amnesty international quote we did everything we could to fight for justice but we don't even know if there was an investigation we were left in the dark and we're still in the dark. while u.s. military officials state that they take all allegations of misconduct seriously and that fall investigations are under way into reports of abusive behavior amnesty international's steve kroft shocks believes that the system of military justice in the us is simply flawed the crucial flaws of the system of the reluctance to investigate the fact that military commanders consoles overrule whether whether there is going to be an investigation or not we need to have external involvement we need to have above all the us or sources the us military themselves should of course wish to get to the bottom of things they should not wish crimes take place

and if they have then they should really wish to investigate but one way forward is also to have that independent involvement and we can also see a change in the legislation which will make that possible we have not seen that a second element that we really need to see is actual accountability for how many civilians have died it's very difficult to count on other subjects a proper account will be kept but at the moment we simply don't know exactly what those numbers are there's no way that the u.s. government we are able to track it but the u.s. government itself fails to do so. the ams amnesty report concludes that only a full reform of the military justice system can begin to solve the problem. in the u.s. involvement in iraq is growing as islamic militants gain momentum in the country's north u.s. airstrikes over the weekend hit multiple locations around the city of erbil intending to keep the militant group known as isis at bay other strikes were intended to defend members of the religious minority from isis attacks american

aircraft also dropped food and water for the thousands of years edis who have been trapped on a mountaintop in sin jar but the strikes are just a part of an overall american effort to quell the conflict in iraq while the u.s. says it has no plans to send troops are to use a mirror david brings us more on the obama administration's arming of the fighters on the ground. the obama administration is beginning to directly provide weapons to kurdish peshmerga forces to fight off islamic militants senior officials who announced the decision to the press on the condition of anonymity one say exactly what types of weapons are being sent nor what government agency would be leading this effort now this comes as the islamic state militants threaten civilians and the u.s. consulate in the northern city of erbil in response the obama administration quickly moved some american diplomats out of the city erbil is

a very strategic city in iraq and not just because it's home to american personnel but he also happens to be the capital of iraq's kurdistan region located just east of mosul kurdistan is a geo cultural area in the middle east that shares parts of iraq iran and turkey now since the fall of saddam hussein iraqi kurds have built a semi thomas region with their own regional government armed forces and even oil dependent kaname but with isis is growing in strength and the possibility of kurdistan a generally secure region falling to the islamic state president obama has decided to up the u.s. involvement some say this could further fragment iraq which is already heavily divided the latest military action is storing a hot debate here in washington over what kind of role the u.s. should really have in this conflict with republicans like senator lindsey graham slamming the president for not doing more take

a look at how the senator address president obama just yesterday mr president you have never want spoken directly to the american people about the threat we face from being from syria now iraq or does your strategy the strategy to stop these people from attacking the homeland be expressed a desire to do so so there's no political reconciliation in baghdad going to protect the american homeland that has to be a commander in chief with a strategy and a vision this commander in chief has no strategy is no better than opposing that position was senator ben cardin who says there is no u.s. military solution to the issue. that's our limited mission but we were not going to use our military to take care of what the iraqis should be taking care of and if you're looking at what the real cause here the real cause is that the iraqi government has not performed the way it should to protect the rights of all iraqis we are not going to get in the middle of

a civil war and use american military words should be iraqis taking care of their own needs of course senator cardin is referring to the political situation in iraq now many lawmakers blame the iraqi governments the cifelli prime minister nuri al maliki for the deep into sectarian divisions which they believe has created the breeding ground for isis iraq's kurdish president for wod most sume formally announced that maliki would soon be replaced as prime minister by shiite leader a body but yesterday maliki made it clear that he would not go easily in a surprise televised speech maliki said he would file a legal complaint against the new president on a technicality for neglecting to name the new prime minister by a designated deadline in washington i mean our david r.t. . israelis and palestinians are back at the negotiating table in cairo trying to use yet another seventy two hour ceasefire to find

a lasting resolution to the latest outburst of violence in the region the indirect talks are being mediated mediated once again by egypt it's the fourth time the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement since the beginning of the israeli operation called solid cliff commenced on july eighth the previous cease fire agreements have not brought the two sides closer to peace since neither side has been willing to compromise the temporary truce comes after another weekend of bombing in gaza overall since the recent cease fire ended last friday hamas has launched roughly seventy rockets at israel the israeli army and turn struck about thirty targets in palestinian territory allegedly killing one senior member of hamas and raising the number of civilian casualties to nearly two thousand since the beginning of the ground operation over one thousand nine hundred palestinians have been killed and ten thousand wounded most of those civilians israeli losses amount to sixty four

soldiers and three civilians killed heavy casualties in gaza provoked numerous protests in different parts of the world are new york correspondent our alexy jarosz of ski reports on the latest demonstration that saw hundreds gathered in manhattan several hundred people have gathered in new york city to grill just against the military operation in gaza this is a free brothers time protest and we keep hearing things about the going on. but essentially this is more than that this is about stopping the u.s. . this protest in new york is part of a global free palestine campaign happening everywhere across the planet across europe it is a very multinational here we see flags of different countries from latin america from europe course the palestine it is the same in terms of the slogans and what we're seeing in europe but it's different altogether not every day you can see such

a big march through the streets of new york but this is a particular city and they are going to a particular place. and the final destination of the free palestine protests is literally across the street on the u.n. headquarters in new york it's a weekend the diplomats are not in the office but this book card here pretty much tells the story of how angry the protesters are about you and according to them doing not enough to save people in gaza of course i guess we can diplomats i know the office but people here are genuinely hoping that their voices will be heard let's hear a shot ski r t reporting from new york city. how has the enduring palestinian israeli conflict increased racial and religious divides between israel and palestine are teens hairy fear find answers to those questions as he presents an in-depth look at how this ongoing conflict has inflamed cultural tensions between the citizens of israel and palestine. since the latest israel gaza conflict began

there's been a spike in racial violence and tension between jews and arabs throughout both the occupied territories and israel itself the army installed it system of checkpoints here in two thousand and six now thousands of palestinians who live in the west bank but work inside israel mask you from dawn to reach their workplaces for business hours their attitude to us since the war began has changed completely they have become more aggressive even now when we try to find transport to get to work there's discrimination in the occupied west bank civilians continue to suffer from what they say are random attacks by settlers in one recent incident an eight year old girl was hit by a car palestinians labeled it a settler terror incident. since the war began we really feared the settlers one leaves the house with fear in his heart the situation's not like before and

some israelis say they too now live in a climate of fear i am me the wife and and i when i walk back i'm just so i can't drive my myself and arabic drive come to take me from my home and i'm scared i'm scared i'm scared to drive them because there was a case that they murdered. a girl the go to have woke and they killed her living for eight years didn't feel any suspicion but it's politics this is the symbol. that only from here to but hamas i didn't choose. to vote they voted for him for the hamas and there we'd be one day get the bomb but . needless to say the palestinian people see the current situation from a very different perspective as palestinians we cannot accept living. we cannot

accept to be violated on daily bases and say we are fine with it but this ten years do not take people because what they ordered a. people because they are jews simply by listing ians do not accept your patient and its policy. jerusalem. and in ukraine the conflict between government forces and anti-theists separatists in the east has millions hiding out struggling to access food and water government forces say they are surrounding the city of donetsk in the eastern region of ukraine the government has called on the residents there to leave as they are threatened to try to win back the separatist stronghold and not too far from there another besieged city lugansk will finally get some relief ukraine says the international red cross has agreed to send a multinational humanitarian mission and to the city. the relief effort will be

provided with support from russia the european union and the united states ukraine has previously rejected a russian offer to send humanitarian assistance out of concern it could be used as a cover for a russian invasion to quote that concern russian officials say they will take part in the mission but will not send in any soldiers artie's maria for now is in logan square more on the challenge of the residents to access just basic necessities the guns khamenei luke abandoned but there are still people here those who didn't have a daily struggle to survive the city has been without electricity for more than a week now but it's the shortage of water which poses the biggest humanitarian challenge this woman is called middle aged in russian her name means hope but she has little of that left. him you're not. going

to look good you can show it's a new being so new we've got new to war got mum she got not much of that is going to shut out the lymph i want you to my life. you know it's interesting because the queues form early in the morning because people are afraid they won't be enough water to go around still not. did it breath hurt feeling at the very early years and the other near the edge of the earth even the coke that you thought the both of us could say that the bone your guts the fight in you'll never get the fear that i know but i'm good enough and fear me yet at the rare enough to let you have the laugh and some of the city's districts residents have to use water pumps because it's a no go zone for trucks that could share out the precious liquid a lot of the all of it was the much of that. that's what we're going to

the city with no water and no power also has no contact with the outside world there are big problems with connection now in the guns going all over the city and we couldn't get any signal anywhere but there are some places where people say you might be able to connect this is one of the places we keep on trying and trying we hope but still we don't have any signal but what we don't like about this place resists warning signs saying attention do not call shelling area but people still try their luck they say the entire city is a shelling area now and at least here they can talk to relatives and friends on the phone every day in lugansk at least a dozen apartment buildings and private houses are hate by to refire some of them more than once. but.
