four pm in moscow watching r.t. international with me were in a joshie now the very center of the ask has been bombed by the ukrainian military which says it's part of the final stage of freeing the city from local militia be warned the video we're about to show you contains some graphic images this emerging line and appears to show the aftermath of the attack a shopping center and an office where wrecked another shell hit a university building this badly injured woman who seems to have lost an arm in the assault is seen being helped to a car at least eleven people were killed in this latest bombardment in the previous three days over seventy have died in crane armies using haveour tillery such as rocket launchers but locals claim something more sinister is also being deployed.

on thursday night people in damascus say that alongside the now familiar sound of bombing came this video can be very fired but locals claim it shows incendiary devices being used similar to those apparently deployed by the military during the blockade of another is from city a couple of months ago. well let's look at where this all is happening then you ask here is the regional capital almost a million people used to live in the city which has been under regular fire since may and in three months of suffered at least one hundred twenty eight attacks from the korean military and since the government launched what it calls its anti terror operation the east over eight hundred civilians have been killed in that and ask region alone or even often a is in the area for us and has more. we witnessed dramatic escalation of the ukrainian crisis and the city often yes going to ask region see the fiercest

clashes with the shelling continue and death toll is rising dramatically hundred fortunately also including among 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 a fight an easy one to go into but we hear from the u.n. human rights watchdog that up to seventy people are killed or injured every day in eastern ukraine many have all deflowered the cities and these area and actually the country but those who still remain there how i have been there every day struggle to survive still a little it's still. just still if over list. i mean you want.

your. stuff or. lugansk remains another epicenter will kiev calls it's empty terror curation in eastern ukraine severe clashes erupted on the roads connecting lugansk andone as 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 road 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 security point of view but recently we cannot do it because it became a very dangerous. summer is not is watching the tragedy unfold in eastern ukraine. follow her on twitter to find interviews with the locals from. now as

we mentioned earlier it's suspected that incendiary bombs were used over the aunt's to discuss that let's now talk to a former u.k. army officer and scotland yard detective and terrorism specialist charles schwab ridge who was the first person to investigate israel's use of white phosphorus in the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine gaza campaign thanks so much mr shoebridge for joining us here and i see international well let's take another look at the video of the suspected attacker now you've seen it didn't look like incendiaries to you. well if this video is genuine and it should be said that so far there's nothing to suggest that it isn't and indeed it does show many of the characteristics one would associate with the use of white phosphorus or very similar incendiary in particular you've got bursts of large numbers of small particles of very brightly. material in other words this is been delivered by

artillery or mortar rockets or perhaps a cross delivered but it's bursting relatively high in the sky and then characteristically it's falling very quickly. this is a feature of white phosphorous and similar materials because normally luminosity that. we saw a lot of those for example being used in the guards or attacks and indeed we've seen them being used in east ukraine quite regularly they will of course come to us much more slowly so that the illumination effect is extended in other words they're often attached to power shoots clearly that isn't the case with what's happening here there could be other explanations i mean it could be that white phosphorus is being used indeed or something similar as an illuminant round but nonetheless if it's used in built up areas it is almost certainly going to have an effect on the ground that incendiary fact is particularly severe against buildings and particularly against people. if indeed that's what's happening and being used because white phosphorus is

a potent incendiary it burns through to the bone and can't be put out with water i would add another feature of white phosphorous normally associated with it is a large volumes of smoke they can't be seen clearly in this video but that could be of course because it's stuck dark darkness and because it's not time well you just explain to us you know what the potential effects could be and how dangerous this substance is but. you know two months ago the town of slovyansk came under what could be the white phosphorous bombing an attack but what should be the reaction of the international community to this if you know we know that white phosphorus is banned and. you know how what sort of reaction should be to this. well what marked a call back in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine when israel did use for example white phosphorous in its attacks then and. it's quite common

for israel. and its actions to be slightly overlooked by the media in the western governments their use of white phosphorus and occasion did attract a very severe international condemnation and so that puts it in context and indeed as a result of that condemnation criticism stopped using white phosphorous oh no it isn't any evidence so far i think that they used it in these recent assaults on guards and so if indeed it's been used to in a binaries from elicit a legitimate purpose and if it's being used as an incendiary weapon in urban areas or against binaries even worse that it could raise issues of war crimes but really as indeed happened with square allegations were made there was some evidence presented that white phosphorus was indeed being used ukraine tonight it but at the end of the day the onus i think must be on ukraine to assure or reassure the

community and even reassure the people in east ukraine and donetsk in this case before as to what the kind of munition is that they're using they could of course clear this up very quickly simply by revealing and having it verified by people who know what i talking about on the ground and elsewhere as to what the weapon is or the luminance is that they're using an occasion and they could satisfy this inquiry i think very easily failing that of course some kind of independent investigation would be needed. what mysteries thanks so much for your inside in this situation i was charles schumer is talking to us former british army officer and intelligence expert. well be advised you may find the next video from disney esque region upsetting it shows more civilian victims an artillery shell struck near this car a family of three inside it was killed on the spot the vehicle itself as you can see is riddled with shrapnel and locals say the shell was fired by the ukrainian

army. for foreign backers the level of civilian deaths in the east as a result of having weaponry is getting tough to avoid although when washington was asked about that it was enough to dent its unshakeable support for kiev's methods. we call on the attorneys take every step to avoid the local population as they try to free the city from the separatists but do you support that specific you said heavy artillery that could carry the risk of civilian casualties and we call on them not to use a weapon that could increase that but again we're very supportive of the ukrainians here it's a tough fight they're in and we do think that the ultimate goal here needs to be the city of not being under the control that. almost three hundred russian trucks packed with relief supplies have reached the border obvious crain customs agents and western journalists are now sifting through the contents and so far they found nothing out of the ordinary the spied of the wild speculation that raged where the journey began instead they catalogued hundreds of tons of food medical supplies

emergency equipment ukrainian border troops are now doing their paperwork after which could set off for the besieged city of guns where hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped in them circling the army. meanwhile a global campaign in support of a missing russian journalist is picking up pace that you and the e.u. and a myriad of rights groups have called on have to secure his release ukrainian government though has been silent only admitting to arresting him under a stone in a career a photographer who's been covering conflicts all over the world and hashtags freelander has been trending on social networks it's been missing for ten days and so far there have been only mixed signals about work he may be. now fury over the killing of an unarmed teenager by

a police officer in ferguson missouri has spread to some ninety status across the united states from washington to sandals demonstrations toure's all over the country demanding that security forces be held accountable for their actions new york was shaken by one of the largest rallies as thousands of law times square the spite the demonstrations remain largely peaceful police made several arrests ferguson people the five police warnings and dad are in for a fifth night parties this is true is there a force. that was a people filled the streets of ferguson get again to demonstrate following the killing of eighteen year old unarmed teen michael brown. a popular opinion among ferguson residents is that what has been going on here has been largely misrepresented by the media do you think that i and our coverage that these protests have received in the media coverage over there now. because they showed us

that we have freedom of speech because protests anytime we want twenty four hours a day at the beach obviously outrage continues to be the prevailing emotion here on these streets i did not see justice for here i really do. on wednesday night we saw the most of violent clashes thus far. clashes between police and riot gear and protesters where a tear gas was used our problem bullets were flying the street was battered with that tear gas cannons and certainly it was extremely chaotic on the ground and arrest of two journalists took place some journalists were hit with some tear gas including ourselves we had a blast take place just steps away from we were standing for now political statements about accountability justice and an independent investigation remains just words and not deeds this community intends to keep coming out on to the streets until those promises become reality. now minor resistant military vehicles

that are once roamed the sands of iraq and policemen armed to the teeth at rallies and ferguson always cause a social media eruption mocking tweets pointed out that officers were in fact better equipped than wartime soldiers so went as far as comparing the whole situation to something it's my only in a police state well this map shows how the hash tag ferguson spread across twitter and in take long for the subject in golf the u.s. before spreading across the atlantic to you are a little columnist ted rall believes that until the police stop acting as an occupying force people's anger won't 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 is that i don't see how the president in his investigation over this one incident would be able to make much headway there. and coming out of the program hiding your source of information from the u.s. authorities could cost you dear frustrated once again softens the blow in america with a new york times investigative journalist facing prison for keeping his lips sealed . plots while thousands in israel call for the government to put a man to his mosque residents in the west bank launch a mass boycott of products in an attempt to undermine telling its economy that more is coming your way after the break.

in reality radiation is still there and it is killing our children they are dying also hard conditions asked no leukaemia but the authorities are still hiding the truth for most still and i don't know why don't they have children on their own because you heard so much to know that you can to protect our children should this . week speak your language anything about the war not a. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn of the of angles the stories. you hear. that troy altie spanish find out more visit.

to the. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. welcome back to what you nineteen ashwell a statement by statement leaders are changing their tune with regards to sanctions now they are on the receiving end hungary is prime minister has stated that by imposing sanctions or russia europe is shooting itself in the food while nearby austria's agriculture minister confirmed that the industry there has already lost six million dollars so far as a result of russia's retaliating. now finland in turn says any more sanctions must be avoided at all costs and its president is meeting by reporting to discuss trade

among other issues and we can respond in a group is going off is following the sanctions drama for us. oh there you go you're well the president has we'll have matt what more can you tell us the two leaders have discussed we know the crisis in ukraine with the finnish leaders saying that it's a catastrophe which is affecting the entire europe and has to be resolved immediately they also spoke about ties between russia and finland trade ties which have fallen by around eight percent and this is the first time that president putin is meeting with any of e.u. leaders since the european union introduced the lead of set of sanctions targeting whole sectors of the russian economy and since moscow imposed the ban on the import of different food affecting a lot of european products finland was quite heavily affected by that but the european union in general was hit pretty hard and here are some figures that we've prepared for you because of the restrictions introduced by russia all countries

which have been taking part in anti russian sanctions the european union alone is expected to lose up to seven billion dollars but more specifically the worst hit member states or the netherlands which could lose up to two billion dollars lithuania. one point two billion poland around one billion dollars and germany around some one hundred ninety five million many european farmers are now calling on european authorities for compensation but the problem is the e.u. emergency funds designated for these purposes 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 our 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. the teachers since leaving the gate is it is so difficult because production is a major loss and we can't make up for it and we won't receive compensation from the bulgarian government or from the european union. but from

a business the ban on imports to russia will mean a collapse for sure we have to stop our production the revenues will not be enough to cover the costs of things like logistics. in the meantime foreign ministers are holding an emergency meeting in brussels one of the issues discussed is also the crisis in ukraine but also the relationship with russia or more specifically what to do next in this situation which has truly become pretty complicated now. thanks for bringing us the details. president to press freedom is a basic right written into the u.s. constitution but it's a one apparently not enjoyed by new york times journalist james risen and he's now facing jail for not revealing a whistleblower source as gun it reports this could result in a major blow to investigative journalism in the u.s. . this is a petition with one hundred thousand signatures on it demanding that the u.s. government stop its pursuit of new york times journalist james price and the u.s.

justice department wants him to give up the name of the source which james lies and as we've seen through time and time again now the justice department considers forcing. him to change slicing continues to refuse he may go to jail the source has provided them with information about a bungled cia operation in iran which the journalist used in his two thousand and six book state of war against terrorism was first subpoenaed in two thousand and eight to testify against james sterling a form a cia employee who was later charged under the espionage act for allegedly disclosing secrets to the reporter was an appeal to the u.s. supreme court earlier this year to get the justice department to revoke its word quest for him to testify but to no avail that i want to give any details about the case but i can just say that i 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. those

that continue you know the rest of investigative reporting in america that's the central issue. risin is a two time pulitzer prize winner one of his pulitzer swas 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 risin 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 journey james writes in to testify against his alleged source it could be a major blow to investigative journalism because what's in washington i'm going to check on are. thousands of people have marched in tel aviv to saying the military for its offensive against the palestinians demonstrators called on the government and the army to and hamas rocket attacks from gaza once and for all and estimated ten thousand israelis gathered for the first a major demonstration back in the i.d.f. military campaign in gaza israel spends more than a month of bartie the territory in the seance from hamas rocket fire and land sea and air assault killed nearly two thousand palestinians most of them civilians and children israel lost sixty four soldiers during the campaign but as harry fear reports for our two people in the west bank are now using another kind of weapon to support gaza and hurt tel aviv. a boycott of his raby goods in the west

bank has gained momentum during israel's war in gaza given the trade between is right on the palestinian territories is worth hundreds of millions of dollars a mass boy called the goods could be a significant development. when i picked something i checked with where if it is made in israel or outside if i buy some very to stuff. the money would go to the military who are the gumbo who's who's bobbing my brother's and it feels amazing it feels like an it's way if there's a sense it feels like i'm resisting in a way and it's not just consumers taking the initiative shops themselves including large supermarket chains have joined in to some scenes previously fifty percent of our sales were israeli goods now it's dropped to five percent however israeli economists generally disagree i doubt that it will have any serious effect on the economy because. the palestinian market is not

a big market in israel this wave of boycotting israeli goods is making people feel empowered not since the second intifada has a campaign gain so much momentum say palestinians they hope that they'll be an impact that will change the dynamic of the israeli palestinian conflict but it seems unlikely that there will be any meaningful impact on the broader israeli economy fia r.t. jerusalem now cross nazi ideology with hipster fashion and you get it that stares young people trying to make far right ideas fashionable and germany of this new generation of nazi supporters is using everything from online t.v. shows to web seminars to counteract the stigma surrounding their views it all are a spoke to one of their most prominent members. 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 we want to show their ideas aren't dramatic in the media were called nazis fascists all of that 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 ministers if people want to cause 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 feed when you see

a person like that what do you think even if he's 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 teachers that we sell this 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 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. you don't see. that behind 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 culture or practice of various sorts which are systematically put in place to

attract people and then silently smokefree combined with messages twenty three showed a insists he is nonviolent but nips or not and face n.t.v. is here to stage 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 r.t. germany. up next an international itself in co don't have a way. 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 let me put a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion.
