the russian capital good to have you with us. don't you ask has enjoyed a night of bombing with ukraine's military saying it's part of the final stage of freeing the city from local militia. further scenes of devastation are emerging from across the city with many buildings brittle with holes more than seventy people have been killed in the last three days ukrainian army is using heavy artillery such as rocket launchers the locals claim something more sinister is also being deployed. on thursday night people and on yet say that alongside the now familiar sound of bombing came this r.t. can't verify these images at the moment local suspect it shows incendiary devices similar to those apparently used by the military in german the blockade of another eastern city

a few months ago. let's look at where all of this is happening don yes here is the regional capital almost a million people live in the city which has been under constant fire since may in three months it suffered at least one hundred and twenty eight attacks from the ukrainian military since the government launched what it calls an anti terror operation in the east over eight hundred civilians have been killed in the don't yet region maria phenomena is there. witnessed dramatic escalation of the ukrainian crisis and the city often yes going to near screech and see the fiercest clashes with the shelling continue and death toll is rising dramatically hundred three also including among the civilian population in the last three days seventy four civilians were killed including children and more than one hundred others were injured we have to say it is really complicated to count victims and one of the reasons behind that is because fighting is going to go into that we hear from the u.n. human rights watchdog that up to seventy people are killed or in area and actually

the country but those who still remain there how have in their everyday struggle to survive do you still feel a little jealous. so if over. bernie you will. cause a lot of our nerves are you. still for the. lugansk remains another epicenter willkie of calls it's anti terror curation in eastern ukraine severe clashes erupted on the roads connecting lugansk and india's can these two large cities and this is strategy to separate and to government fighters from these two big cities and also we see clashes on the roads leading from lugansk to the russian front here we are now at the russian ukrainian border

and we used to cross into ukraine and to go to the guns to cover this situation on the ground has really hard situation from humanitarian point of view as well and of course from a security point of view but recently we cannot do it because hate became a very dangerous. now there's still a wall of silence from kiev over the whereabouts of missing russian journalist andre stand him last despite global calls for his safe release from the un the e.u. and rights groups on three is a renowned photographer who's been covering conflicts all over the world the hashtag three hundred has since been trending on social networks he's been missing for ten days and so far there have been anemic signals about where he may be at first denied detaining him but then admitted he's been arrested by security forces accused of assisting terrorists. american fury over the police killing of an unarmed missouri teenager is spreading

nationwide even bringing new york's times square to a standstill thousands gathered there in one of the biggest protests not only to mourn michael brown but to show a united front against police brutality honest to see it has the latest from ferguson tonight thousands of people out on the streets if you can hear behind me for hours now cars honking in support passing by and crowds chanting people holding signs candles i walking around on wednesday night last night we saw the most violent clashes thus far that have taken place here in ferguson throughout these nights where our police in riot gear had used tear gas and rubber bullets i tear gas was going off right next to journalists several crews that were affected by this we ourselves had a blast go off just steps from where we were standing on out so really tonight it seems to have changed even though it's extremely loud and people still continue to come out on the streets and intend to keep doing so the violence seems to have died

down for now now importantly it is important to mention that in other cities throughout the united states such as new york philadelphia boston los angeles people have also been coming out onto the streets this thursday to aa us supports the cause are demanding answers and justice when it comes to the death of this on armed teenager that has really sparked waves of outrage throughout the united states political columnist ted roll believes that until the police stop acting as an occupying force people's anger will not subside. it's not the first time this has happened you know this is a situation that repeats itself in all sorts of african-american communities across the united states that are policed as though they were occupied territory by highly militarized i would say u.s. troops but local police who are equipped as though they were occupying afghanistan

or iraq so that there is no connection whatsoever but just hostility between the communities that are being policed and the police that are supposed to be serving them that's the big issue that's the big problem and i don't see how the president in his investigation over this one incident would be able to make much headway there. ahead for you pulling the plug on investigative journalism we report on the u.s. government's prestige of a new york times journalist to given a name his whistle blowing source and testify against him. and it's three more brown hey how a group of nazi supporters in germany is striving to improve that public image. is the media leave us so we leave the media. motions to the. party

is it the. shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics only. choose your language. make of it oh and if. you know places choose the least the consensus can. choose the opinions that invigorating. choose the stories get in the place choose the access to.

i. now even though a raft of western politicians are busy pushing sanctions on russia some nations are more interested in keeping the business will's turning finland's president is expected to reply to me putin later today in southern russia as well as ongoing cooperation in trade the situation in ukraine is likely to come up. reports this is the first time that president putin is meeting with any of the european union leaders since the e.u. introduced a lead of set of sanctions targeting the whole sectors of the russian economy and since moscow introduced food import restrictions which affect a lot of european foods and we know that finland was hit pretty hard finnish officials have been saying that they're not ready to take part in any further anti russian sanctions but the european union was hit by moscow's restrictions pretty hard in general take a look at the graphic that we've prepared for you because of the restrictions introduced by president putin on all countries which have been taking part in the

russian sanctions the european union alone is expected to lose up to seven billion dollars but more specifically the worst member states hit or the netherlands which is expected to lose up to two billion dollars to lithuania around one point two billion poor and around one billion and germany around seven hundred ninety five million and many european farmers are now calling on european union officials for compensation but the thing is the use specially designated fun for that is only around four hundred million euros which is obviously not enough. so i don't know what we're going to do of this continues the crops in the region are threatened i have people who work for me on monday morning i told them to stay home i don't know what i'm going to do. since leaving. the situation is so difficult because production is a major loss we can't make up for it. and you want receive compensation from the

bulgarian government or from the european union. but it is the ban on imports to russia will mean a collapse for sure we have to stop our production its revenues will not be enough to cover the costs of things like logistics there has been a danish report published on the issue is saying that the effects from moscow's restrictions on the e.u. is so strong that european officials may actually cancel the n.t. russian sanctions in the next two to three months so to wrap it up there are definitely things for the two leaders to talk about here in russia. press freedom isn't shrine in the us constitution all the same it's not enough to shield new york times journalist james rosen has exclusive revealing how the cia tried to undermine iran's nuclear program has seen him embroiled with the government on the courts he now faces jail for not revealing his whistleblowing source but he's not going into battle alone explains this is a petition with one hundred thousand signatures on it demanding that the u.s.

government stop it's to see the new york times journalist james writes that the u.s. justice department wants him to give up the name of the sorts which james lies and has refused to do time and time again now the justice department considers forcing . him to change flies and continues to refuse he may go to jail the source has provided him with information about a bungled cia operation in iran which the journalist used in his two thousand and six book state of war and was first subpoenaed in two thousand and eight to testify against james sterling the former cia employee who was later charged under the espionage act for allegedly disclosing secrets to the reporter risin appealed to the u.s. supreme court earlier this year to get the justice department to revoke its request for him to testify but to no avail not only given any details about the case but i can just say that you know i think this is really all about. the issue of press

freedom in america and about whether or not we're going to have. this continued. graphs of investigative reporting in america that's the central issue. rising if the two time pulitzer prize winner one of his pulitzer this was for his reporting on the warrantless wiretapping program under george w. bush and another for reporting in the aftermath of the nine eleven attacks numerous press freedom groups and prominent journalists are now backing him by shedding light on his persecution. we think people like james rising of the new york times should be put on a pedestal. and the people in this department of justice building think he should be put in prison we can't get the story unless people who know the story. can talk to us without fear of. retaliation the obama administration has already prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined and the view that

many people share here is that if the government is indeed successful in forcing the german trains twice in to testify against his alleged sorts it could be a major blow to investigative journalism and to the west in washington i'm going to check on our tea. party that used to be on the fringe of british politics is having the donations of john paul the euro skeptic independence party has managed to raise more money than the junior government group the liberal democrats are calling has got that story. it's growing cities through google street view but how about heading underwater online and how we could soon explore the beauty beneath the sea . now the twentieth century left an indelible image in our minds of nazi supporters of radical ruthless skinheads eager for violence but there's a group of far right germans who want an image make over into all of the reports.

the modern face of the far right in germany fs in t.v. is an online show that preaches that it's ok to hold these political beliefs in a country with a dark history of dealing with fascism the star of the show is thirty one year old patrick schroeder he told me that it's time to change the image of the right wing. we want to rebrand our image to show we aren't crazies who want to show their ideas aren't dramatic in the media were called nazis fascists all of that of those the washer broadcast understand that we are and radicals. with strong views on immigration on t l g b t rights and a firm belief that multiculturalism is wrong schroeder along with his anonymous co-host vendetta have been labeled as part of a new wave of neo nazi hipster in germany called by some we don't refer to ourselves as nips if people want to call us that then they can go ahead we're willing to use any possibilities to present ourselves as well as the show should

also give seminars to educate followers how to present themselves to the public these mentions seeds when you see of course unlike their what do you think even if you use right i'm not voting for him clothes and music are a big part of the movement targeting under thirty who aren't happy with the current government and what they see as the glorification of the extreme left. here we have one of our t. sure is that we sell the shows the one hundred thirty million plus victims murdered by communists over the years. the former skinhead speaks like a p.r. manager a consummate showman schroeder is articulate funny and gregarious. our meeting left me wondering about the message he's selling. after spending some time with patrick it's hard not to be intimate by him but i wanted to speak to somebody to find out if there's any potential risks of packaging ideas this way. the thing to is that

you don't see. that behind the candy cigarette it's actually a quite quite a good example a good metaphor of that you have something that is particularly appealing or might be appealing to a young person you have attractive office to engage. in chic counterculture and youth cultural practices of various sorts which are systematically put in place to attract people and then silently small three combined with messages toward violent extremism showed a insists he is nonviolent but nip still or not and face n.t.v. is here to stay with an eighty eight episode set to air at the end of august they are looking to convince more of germany's youth disenchanted with the status quo that it's ok to turn to the far right peter all over germany. more headlines now from around the world an american three hundred kilometer march in pakistan has reached the capital in a major opposition call for the prime minister quit over corruption and vote rigging tens of thousands joined the rally from the hall to islamabad which put

security forces on alert right place blocked the main roads into the capital the interior minister allowed to march into the city. for world health organization says the magnitude of the outbreak is vastly underestimated the nearly two thousand reported victims in the worst affected countries in west africa where medical services are breaking point the un agencies approved the use of an experimental vaccine elsewhere u.s. scientists believe they've discovered how ebola paralyzes the immune system which could help develop new treatments for. iraq's prime minister nouri al maliki has agreed to step down and give way to his newly appointed successor. in a televised address he offered his support to the new premier the president approved maliki's replacement earlier this week but the embattled politician refused to go he's western educated replacement is also a shia muslim and his hope to form a more inclusive government to help the sectarian tensions. the freedom

of information noise in britain is supposed to get official bodies to come clean well the government has julie released a fresh reports on the impacts of drilling for shale gas but only after having edited or completely blacked out over sixty elements of it has more on what suspected of being hidden or that a paper published by the government don't tend to rival the phrase the end of the relative harmony but this draft report put out by staff for the department for environment food in rural affairs has an air of mystery around it that's because i'm made here young of this study relating to the controversial issue of the right thing and the fact that running on the right thing then say the word redacted at page sixty three times in this report so it's not so much of a whodunit because we know it was a white hole but it is

a why done it the draft report was released not long after westminster offered up two thirds of england to any energy companies that want to bid for shale gas drilling licenses to people desperate to find out what the sense of parts are hiding a roland and the retailer they've been trying to sell their home in rasika in lancashire last year they found by isn't agreed a price but the sale fell through when plans to frack in the area emerged they've even put the price of the house down by twenty five thousand pounds but still no one wants that are good. all our money. we were a lot of some m.p.'s have been calling for the government to offer financial compensation to homeowners like bowl and marie who could lose money because of neighbor i drilling but westminster has so far refused to offer payouts saying that fracking

will herald a new era of cheap energy and boost the economy we asked defra why they had sent said parts of the shale gas study a government spokesperson said there is no evidence that house prices have been affected in over half a century of oil and gas exploration in the u.k. or evidence that this would be the case with shale this government believes that shale has a positive part to play in our future energy mix providing energy security driving growth and grating jobs unfortunately for the tail as that government assurance isn't exactly driving swarms of potential house baez to that goal that they. just don't want. people knowing what the problems. are who are. searching for sales

of people with. hope. for one. campaign as have accused the government of trying to hide the risks of fracking for local communities they're demanding the release of the full on a bridge government study in a bid to try and solve this fracking mystery before it turns into a horror for those affected by it plenty boy say london. coming up after the break larry king talks to actor and director rob reiner about obama's presidency same sex marriage i'm plenty more that's coming up in the politicking stay with us. do you have to be radiation is still there and it is killing our children dying also heart conditions assman leukemia but the authorities are still hiding the truth for most still and i don't know why don't they have children of their own

because it hurts so much to know that they can to protect our children. baltimore is considering making their curfew for minors even stricter for the last twenty years children caught on the street up until midnight were in deep trouble with the police but now this will be made even earlier starting at nine or ten pm depending on their age and the day of the week can the government impose a curfew on youths well yes if we think about it people under eighteen can't sign contracts join the army smoke cigarettes or vote because they're legally not responsible for their own actions so yeah that whole freedom of association guaranteed by the constitution really only applies once you're an adult who can in theory be responsible for associating with certain people on a street corner at midnight although legally this is ok ideologically there's something wrong with the idea i remember hearing in school all the talk about

living in the greatest country on earth and how many freedoms we have in america but the problem is that it is hard for teenagers to believe all these nice slogans when they have to dodge police just for walking down the street in their own home town getting a two hundred fifty dollar fine for leaving your house doesn't make you feel like you're living in the greatest country on earth i mean it sure didn't when they put a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. a one on one with a clane filmmaker outspoken activist rob reiner he's got a new movie out too and he's here in studio with candid opinions on the obama presidency in terror national hotspots same sex marriage u.s. border crisis and whatever we can figure out and why he says he loves hillary clinton all next on politic.

sees eight million dollars house now worth a million and you'll get hit by a bus driver does what he's paid to do. a million reasons not to like a little tax ride car and i'll have you here for pete's sake cut their hair because what you're going to say really we're what i'm about to say back just ask everyone complained to the manager we have it she happened to mention that i own this building if that is a little insensitive i just think oh i have sold how this is old and then you are right a lot worse condition that makes me feel good. compliment welcome to politicking rob reiner no stranger to political activism and he's never been shy about his opinions and beliefs his newest film ends so it goes stars michael douglas and

diane keaton he directs the also stars in it and it's out in theaters now and he joins me in studio thank you robbie larry thanks for having first what are your thoughts on robin williams well i mean i was doing a television show it's called about a boy and i had a little part in it and many drivers one of the actresses in it had told me just before i was about to shoot and. i was devastated i mean really devastated i mean you know it's not just you know that i knew robin and you know i don't know what he went through it hit me in a very very deep level because i know what that is too you have this very i have depression i've wrestled with it my whole life i know what that is and i know how difficult a struggle that is for somebody and how difficult it was for robin and it's so upsetting to hear somebody who fought as hard as he did all these years to try to

manage it was able to would have to succumb to it and it's just very upsetting politics one of the thing in that area. you see someone is vital issue funny direction great films always left political activists where is the how you hiding this where is the depression it's not it's a question of hiding it i mean you manage it you you know i live as therapy there's medications there's all kinds of things i mean and it's not something that just goes away it stays with you your life and you just deal with it it's part of what you you know when you have very low i do i do and robin's you know what happened to robin and hit me very hard i mean it's set me off but you learned over the years you learned to manage it and you know i you have to show i know with mike wallace and our lot with him styrene and you know they talk about it and i

think it's important that you know that we normalize this a lot of people suffer from it and people don't it's there's a stigma to talk about it and i think if you talk about it you can say ok this is just something you can manage it and you can live with it lincoln was depressed lincoln was depressed churchill was depressed there are a lot of great people who have achieved. a considerable amount you know wrestling with depression so what's your reaction when you go into politics to the latest iraq policy on obama's part the bombing of the isis well look you know the middle east and that whole region we've been chasing our tail for for years for decades we've been chasing and we we armed saddam hussein to fight against iran we armed asama bin laden to to fight against the russians in afghanistan and we keep doing this it you know ultimately it has no it's partly to protect israel and

partly because of the oil but this is a no win situation. we're not going to win here if you look at you know i made a joke when when when bush went into iraq you know right after nine eleven which to me was the greatest single. foreign policy disaster in my lifetime second to vietnam he made the joke didn't teach see lawrence of arabia i mean after the first world war i mean the british try to manage that area they couldn't so what they did is they just carved up some territories they said these are they're not countries this will be iraq this will be you know that area this will be this and essentially it's not they're not countries they're there they're there sects they're.
