seven pm in moscow what unites international with me marina josh welcome to the program for the second day running the center off deniece has been bombed by the ukrainian military which says the attack is part of the final stage of liberating the city from local militia be warned that a video we're about to show you contains some graphic images. this has emerged online and appears to show the older mass of the attack on a shopping center and an office block where red another shell hit a university building and at least eleven people were killed in this latest bombardment while in the previous four days over eighty have died the ukrainian army is using heavy artillery such as rocket launchers but locals claim something more sinister is also being deployed. on thursday night people in the nets reported that along with the now familiar sound
11:02 am
of bombing came this video can be verified but locals claim it shows incendiary devices being used similar to those apparently used by the army in another eastern city a couple of months ago for a u.k. army officer charles shoebridge believes it's now up to you claim to prove that this was not an attack involving incendiaries at the end of the day the onus i think must be on ukraine to a show or reassure the community and even reassure the people in east ukraine and donetsk discussed 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. having it verified by people who know what they're talking about on the ground and elsewhere as to what the weapon is all the luminance is that they're using in this occasion and they could satisfy this inquiry i think very easily or failing that of course some kind of independent investigation would be needed. now let's look at where this is
11:03 am
always happening then ask right here is the original capital and almost a million people used to live in the city which has been under regular fire since may and in three months it suffered at least one hundred twenty eight attacks from the korean military well since the government launched what it calls its and a terror operation the east over eight hundred civilians were killed in that in the ask region that is an area for us and you can find some of the images in her report disturbing. we witnessed dramatic escalation of the ukrainian crisis and the city often yes going to 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 this 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 u.n.
11:04 am
human rights watchdog that up to seventy people are killed or injured every day in eastern ukraine many haven't deflowered the cities and these area and actually the country but those who still remain there how are having their every day struggle to survive still a little it's still. just still if over list. i mean you want. all of. your. stuff or just. 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
11:05 am
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 it became very dangerous. and refinances watching the tragedy unfold in eastern ukraine. follow her and twitter to find interviews with the locals from lugansk region. for key if 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 wasn't enough to dented some shakable support for kiev's methods. we called on the attorneys take every step to avoid the local population as they try to free the city from the separate but do you support the specific use of heavy artillery that could carry the risk of civilian casualties and we've
11:06 am
called on them not to use a weapon that could increase that but again we're very supportive of the ukraine here it's a tough fight they're in and we do think that the ultimate goal here needs to be the city has not been under the control of the. almost three hundred russian trucks packed with relief supplies have reached the border obviously it's now being transferred to the red cross who will then distribute it costumes officials and journalist earlier sifted through the continents and so far they found nothing out of the ordinary despite the wild speculation that raged when the journey began instead a catalogue hundreds of tons of food medical supplies and emergency equipment ukrainian border troops are now doing their paperwork afterwards the aid could set off for the besieged city of lugansk were hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped by the uncertain army. several western journalists have raised the alarm over what they say were russian a.b.c. news crossing into ukraine they provided these photos showing armored vehicles on
11:07 am
the roads in under an identifiable locations a russian border guard spokesman told us what they saw could have been a local patrol group. but it will never go through and do the regular shelling of russian territory and the fact that ukrainian soldiers are increasingly open crossing the border we're taking all the necessary steps to safeguard those living near the border because that's and we've created mobile groups of border guards question to areas where locals report shelling and fighting i'd like to stress that the act only on russian territory would you. meanwhile a global campaign in support of a missing russian photojournalist is picking up pace the un the e.u. and a myriad of rights groups of kill called on cave to secure under a sentence release a ukrainian government official admitted during. radio interview that the reporter had been arrested but later denied this andre stanton is a career photographer who's been covering conflicts all over the world and the hash

tag for andrew has been trending on social networks where he has been missing for ten days and so far there have been only mixed signals about where he may be but. here you are the killing of an unarmed teenager by a police officer in ferguson missouri has spread to some ninety sit is across the us from washington to listen angeles demonstrators all over the country demanded that security forces be held accountable for their actions new york was shaken by one of the largest rallies as thousands blocked times square despite the demonstrations remaining largely peaceful police made several arrests in ferguson people defied police warnings and gathered for a fifth night parties this is your truth today is there for us. the people the streets ferguson get again to demonstrate following the killing of
11:09 am
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 now highbridge that these protests have received in the media coverage over there you know. because they showed us that we have freedom of speech because protests anytime we want twenty four hours a day at the beach old obviously average continues to be the prevailing emotion here on these streets that you must be 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 tear gas was used rubber bullets were flying the street was battered with the tear gas cannons and certainly it was extremely chaotic on the ground and arrest of two journalists took place some journalists
11:10 am
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 remain just words and not deeds this community intends to keep coming out on to the streets until those promises become reality. mine resistant to military vehicles that once a roam the sands of iraq and policeman armed to the teeth of rallies and ferguson these have caused a huge social media eruption mocking tweets pointed out that officers were in fact better equipped and wartime soldiers well have a look at this picture right here from one of the rallies this officer was has some very serious combat gear on his shoulder let's look more closely now what he's actually kidded out with well he's a had includes a military helmet and tactical goggles weapon of choice possibly a grenade or
11:11 am
a tear gas launcher with an advanced side and on his side two knives while the deployment of this kind of equipment has led some to go as far as comparing the whole situation to something you'd find only in a police state or this map here shows how the hashtag fergusson spread across twitter why didn't take long for the subject to golf the u.s. before spreading across the atlantic to europe and only after this kind of reaction and nights of protests have the police finally revealed the name of the officer who shot the teenager is darren wilson political 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 is 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
11:12 am
or iraq so you know 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. was shooting of michael brown is just the latest scandal revolving around mass outrage over police brutality in the u.s. in july and his magic man died after an officer put him in a chokehold even though the victim repeatedly said that he had difficulty brazing this month mantilly ill man who was gunned down by police during investigative stop and one of the most distressing incidents took place in georgia in may what a baby was severely injured by a stun grenade and a police raid officers had got the wrong house. coming up for you here on earth international hiding your source of information from the u.s.
11:13 am
authorities could cost you dear press for you once again suffers a blow in america with a new york times investigative journalist facing prison for keeping his lips sealed . while sound as in israel calls for the government to put an anti hamas president in the west bank to launch a mass boycott of products and attempt to undermine televisa economy that and more coming after the break. if sweden or federal run to bring deep to join nato that would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia at least a part as far as the military calculus is concerned none of what faces humanity beast the west north and south lawn of it can't be solved by military means or fighter aircraft or satellites or nuclear weapons military is outdated it should go
11:14 am
like cannibalism and slavery and child labor it doesn't belong to civilization to kill each other. do we speak your language of the will or not of. news programs and documentaries in spanish more matches to you breaking news a little too much of angles to the story. for you here. in troy spanish find out more visit. welcome back this is r.t. international finland and russia have both voiced concern over the scale of the military operation
11:15 am
a great and the humanitarian disaster it's created the statement was made jointly and so what you were the visiting finnish leader met whether important are these workers going up as more. both presidents said that they are extremely concerned about the ongoing violence in southeastern ukraine calling it a humanitarian catastrophe which must be resolved immediately the finnish leader also supported the humanitarian operation currently being conducted by moscow it's sending humanitarian aid to eastern ukraine saying that these types of steps help to rebuild trust which is vital to help to deescalate the tensions in the region and also of course both leaders discussed trade ties between russia and finland which recently have gone down by eighty percent. but you know because you're going up to the finish president tonight discuss the negative impact of sanctions which came to the conclusion that the measures are harmful to trade and business development in our country and as a result to the world economy this is president putin's first meeting with any e.u.
11:16 am
leaders since the european union introduced the latest set of sanctions targeting a whole sectors of the russian economy and since moscow introduced the ban on a wide range of products imported from the e.u. and it has caused quite a strong effect on european producers take a look at this graphic that we've prepared for you the because of these limitations which have been imposed 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 many european farmers are now asking e.u. officials for compensation but the problem is the european union's emergency fund which is 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 a 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 gate this is so
11:17 am
difficult because production is a major loss we can make up for it and we won't receive company. from the bulgarian government or from the european union. but it from a business the ban on imports to russia will mean a collapse for sure we have to stop our productions revenues will not be enough to cover the costs of things like logistics in the meantime foreign ministers have held an emergency meeting in brussels and instead of discussing how to help european farmers we've heard more or two more accusations of russia. russia or. russia that in the meantime you foreign ministers have held an emergency meeting in brussels and instead of discussing how to help european farmers we've heard more or more accusations of russia escalating the conflict in ukraine based on unconfirmed reports this time accusations of moscow using the current humanitarian aid operation to cover up some sort of
11:18 am
a ploy statement by statement e.u. leaders are changing their tune with regards to sanctions now that they are on their receiving and hungary's prime minister has stated that by imposing sanctions on russia you are shooting itself in the wild here by austria's every culture minister confirmed the industry there has already lost six million dollars so far as a result of russia's through bargo one member of the european parliament i'm very broad from our friends as national front party says it's time to deescalate. first we decide to stop. the face but sometimes it's. wise to decide to stop the first very big. and a little bit the face of. the european economy is now in a very bad situation we have very low growth we have. no growth
11:19 am
so we we cannot afford to have problems in viagra or sector of france but also for spain for denmark for so many countries press freedom as a basic right written into the u.s. constitution but it's one apparently not enjoyed by new york times journalist james rise and he's now facing jail for not revealing a whistleblower source as granted to ghana reports this could result in a major blow to investigative journalism in the us this is a petition with one hundred thousand signatures on it demanding that the u.s. government stop its the city of new york times journalist james writes that the u.s. justice department wants him to give up the name of the sorts to which james lives and as we've seen some time and time again now the justice department considers forcing. him to change pricing continues to refuse he may go to jail the source has
11:20 am
provided wising 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 former 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 request for him to testify but to no avail 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. continued you know the rest of investigative reporting in america it's a central issue getting streisand if a two time pulitzer prize winner one of his pulitzers was for his reporting on the warrantless wiretapping program under george w.
11:21 am
bush and another for reporting in the aftermath of the nine eleven attack 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 german trains twice in to testify against his alleged sorts it could be a major blow to investigative journalism to the west in washington i'm going to check on our team sounds of people have marched in tel aviv to saying the military for its offensive against the palestinians demonstrators called on the government
11:22 am
and the army and hamas rocket attacks from gaza once and for all an estimated ten sauza israelis gathered for the first major demonstration backing the i.d.f. military campaign in gaza israel spend more than a month of onboarding the territory in the fans from hamas rocket fire to 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 forty people in the west bank are now using another kind of weapon to support dogs and heard tell of these. a boy caught. obvious reading goods in the west bank has gained momentum during israel's war in gaza given the trade between israel and the palestinian territories is worth hundreds of millions of dollars a mass boycott of israeli 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
11:23 am
military who are the guy who's going who's bombing my brothers and it feels amazing it feels like an it's way for existence 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
11:24 am
seems unlikely that there will be any meaningful impact on the broader israeli economy fia r.t. jerusalem cross nazi ideology with hipster fashion and you get ministers people trying to make far right ideas fashionable in germany of this new generation of the nazi supporters is using everything from online t.v. shows to group seminars to counteract the stigma surrounding their views they all over spoke to one of their most prominent members. the modern face of the far right in germany fs n.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 rightwing as a revenge on things because if 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
11:25 am
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 mr 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 feed when you see a person like that what do you think even if yes right i'm not voting for him clothes and music are a big part of the movement targeting under thirty 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
11:26 am
by communists over the years. the former skinhead speaks like a p.r. manager a consummate showman schroder is articulate funny and began reus 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 danger is that you don't see. that behind you have something that is particularly appealing or might be appealing to a young person you have attracted to and. counter culture and youth culture and practice for this so what's there to systematically put in place to attract people and small three combined with messages twenty three minutes and show to 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
11:27 am
that it's ok to turn to the far right peter all of the germany and coming up next a moving lot of story of living with a rare genetic condition that attracts more people stare. 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
11:28 am
guaranteed by the constitution really only applies once you're an adult who can in . hillary be responsible for associating with certain people on a street corner at midnight all the legally this is ok ideologically there is 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.
