why you should care about. this is why you should care only. it's ten pm here in moscow tonight on r t international care claims it's destroyed part of a russian military convoy on its territory right after a british journalist post pictures on social media of advanced personnel carriers a.p.c.'s moving through an unidentified location alleging that crossed into ukraine . and coming up. also to sanctions fever cools in europe as a leader after leader comes out against of further economic restrictions on russia businesses in their countries already feeling the sting of moscow's countermeasures . i. i hear us government employees to the teeth security officers to contain countrywide

protests now demanding justice over the police killing of a teenager. who just after ten pm here in moscow my name is kevin owen first the russian military vehicles have allegedly crossed over into ukraine and were destroyed there that's the top story tonight here's a quote from the official website of the ukrainian president indeed. more on what those claims are based on. on thursday evening two foreign journalists reported that they had seen more than twenty russian armored personnel carriers crossed into ukraine not far from the place where the russian humanitarian aid convoy is parked they didn't cleared any proof for this statement but already on friday morning some

other western journalists joined these claims accompanying their reports with pictures of military omid to be called sometimes with russian flags but without giving any time all occasions temp russia's border control officials confirmed that the country's troops are patrolling the area and the front of course and they have been recently ever increasing because of the situation in neighboring countries but they did not attend any military biko had ever crossed into ukraine there exists no russian military convoy that crossed the russian ukrainian border either at night or during the day let's hope the ukrainian army only destroyed a friend and not refugees or their own soldiers when really you foreign ministers gathered in brussels europe and in my other topics they discussed the situation in eastern ukraine and the situation around the russian humanitarian aid convoys they expressed their concerns over there imposed by western journalists in some countries is a promise of more sanctions against russia if this situation in ukraine continues to deteriorate or if they discover and if they prove that russia used humanitarian

aid convoy as a pretext to send troops and weapons to. so war torn and maybe we also heard from nato chief that they lines had observed russia's incursion into ukraine and we also read this information on the official website don't ukraine's president has a question but so far none of these accusations none of these claims wars supported by any solid evidence. all right well let's try to shed some more light on this more clarity and what may or may not have happened and the and the veracity of the for get some perspective outside from khaled he's joining us now on the line international action center hi kelly really kicked off in the last twenty four hours the south and especially this report if it's true of course would be a game changer but that's the big question is it true there's been no photographic evidence accusations but no kind of hard proof what do you think is going on.

this is the twenty first century in modern times you don't wage a war by rolling in twenty three tanks warfare in modern times is waged with drones and fighter helicopters russia's military strength is well known and respected around the world if there were an actual russian military invasion of ukraine we would know about it and there would be no debate about it i think this is a provocation this is another excuse to start a war where you craig says it tracked actually goes as far as they tracked this column as it entered ukraine but exactly going back to what you're saying that if it did therefore we would have satellite photos of it surely i mean maybe they've got the maybe we just not seen them yet but they certainly have been forthcoming so neither did these journalists that tracked twenty three there are two british journalist it must be said looking for well respected outfits the guardian and the telegraph newspaper they said they counted twenty three photographs neither of those journalists it appears how the mobile phone on the main twenty fourteen as you say and took a picture why. well look russia is not sending tanks and east

ukraine what is happening right now as a humanitarian aid convoy is being sent right now the u.s. backed government in kiev which is paid for by the tax dollars of people living in the united states this u.s. backed government as as basically declared war against ethnic russians in east ukraine as a blockade being set off and it's you know it's so unfortunate their time out tanks because it's not cold metallic pieces of machinery that are starving and suffering right now it's actually human beings who are starving and suffering right now and russia has sent a humanitarian aid convoy which has been expected by the international red cross this is this is this is really unfortunate so much effort is being made in the western media to demonize russia and they're using the same imagery they used during the cold war throughout the cold war in the western media the soviet union was often represented with with with tanks you know again cold macallan pieces of machinery trying to protect a you know as if the soviet union was in a country with. people in east ukraine or human beings sleeping baby with

all those very lorries that you're talking about the convoy they've opened it up the credit militaries look to that this has all been coordinated as you say with the red cross eccentric cetera c.p. bugs baby food basic essentials there it's what the people are crying out for and as you say but let me go back to this this convoy you. were talking about the kicked off today the alleged convoy russia the defense ministry said no this did not happen we have not sent a convoy in this didn't happen so it begs the question if the ukrainian foreign ministry or the defense forces is saying that they have. to the call voice although there's no pictures again begs the question have they actually done this if they had that who all these people who all these times would be by mistake maybe you could be maybe refugees that. well the newly installed government installed in a u.s. backed coup has a record of deception they have repeatedly gotten up and said things and made

accusations against the rebels in east ukraine and against the russian government that are not true they have a record of not telling the truth so i really don't think anyone should believe what they are saying but again this is not about tanks this is about people people in east ukraine are not getting the medical supplies they need people in east ukraine are hungry and russia should be praised for sending humanitarian aid to people who are suffering and the efforts of the ukrainian government to halt a humanitarian convoy basic humanitarian efforts to help people in need are really shameful use of basic human thing you saying that from the international action center experiment program. well there's a said the russian foreign ministry says it's worried about the fate of the humanitarian aid convoy waiting on ukraine's border now it says it has indications that the national guard is planning to lay mines along its route to destroy the vehicles and then blame the government forces that's part of the quote earlier journalist and border guards and spoke to the contents of a convoy as we're talking about just now they catalogued what was inside hundreds

of tons of food that tickle supplies and emergency equipment ukrainian and russian border troops as well as the international red cross have yet to agree on how the aid will be delivered to lugansk where hundreds of thousands of civilians a truck by the encircling army meanwhile for the second day running the center of donetsk has been bombed by the ukrainian military which says the attack is part of the final stages of liberating the city from local militia i must warn you again tonight than that what we're about to show you is graphic graphic images coming up . this is a merged online it appears to show the aftermath of this latest attack i'm talking about a shopping center and an office block wrecked another shell hit a university building at least eleven people were killed in this latest bombardment while in the previous four days over eighty have died ukrainian army's using heavy artillery such as rocket launchers but now tonight again something may be new

locals claiming something may be more sinister is also being deployed. your guess as well as ours what this may be but on thursday night people internet scrip ordered that along with the now familiar sound of bombing this came raining down we can't verify this video 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 you may recall we reported at length them former u.k. army officer charles bridge believes it's now up to ukraine the deposed that this was not an attack involving in centuries 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 live once 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 they're talking about on the ground and elsewhere as to what the weapon is or the luminance is that they're using illicit cation and they could satisfy this inquiry i think very easily or failing that of course some kind of independent investigation would be needed. just to remind you where all this is happening again if you still want to get a clarity on it dinette sq here is the regional capital almost a million people used to live in that city as they would use because many of them fled in fear it's been under regular fire since may in three months it's suffered at least one hundred twenty eight attacks from the ukrainian military since the government launched what it calls its operation in the east over eight hundred civilians have been killed in the dorm it screech him or fig kit for cuba's foreign backers the level of civilian deaths that we're talking over there in the east as a result of heavy weaponry is getting tough to avoid although when washington was

asked directly about it it wasn't enough to dent its unshakeable support for kiev's methods it seems. we can only occur needs to every step to avoid the local population if they try to flee the city but do you support that pacific use of heavy artillery that could carry the risk of civilian casualties and leave tomorrow night 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 is going to be the cities now being under their control. meanwhile a global campaign in support of the missing russian photojournalists is picking up pace of uncovering his story for the last ten days the u.n. and the e.u. in a myriad of rights groups nerve called on to secure under a stand ins release ukrainian government official admitted during a radio interview that the reporter had been arrested but later retracted that statement i understand there's a career photographer it's what he does for a living it's his job it is life he's been covering conflicts all over the world the hash tag free andrew's been trending on the social networks he's been missing

now to say for ten days so far only these mixed signals that have been coming out about where he may or may not be we will keep you posted as we get more news. next night fury over the killing but armed teenager by a police officer in ferguson missouri has spread to some ninety cities across the u.s. now from washington to los 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 times square despite demonstrations of many large and peaceful police made several arrests in ferguson so police defied police mornings and the people mother defied police once and gathered for a fifth night out is and is to see a truck and it is the latest again tonight. by. the people. who are guessing 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 here think. that these protests have received in the media coverage. because they shut us down we have freedom of speech we just protest anytime we want twenty four hours a day is this will be told to do obviously continues to be the prevailing emotion here on these streets just as well you know i really do. on wednesday night we saw the most violent clashes thus far. police in riot gear in protest where. rubber bullets were flying the street was where your gas can and. certainly it was extremely chaotic on the ground and arrest

of two journalists. some journalists were tear gassed including ourselves we had a blast police just steps away from we were standing for no 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. mine resistant military vehicles that once ruin the sands of iraq and policemen armed to the teeth at rallies in ferguson that's the see these are caused of course a social media eruption not surprising i guess many would say mocking tweets pointing out that officers who fought were better equipped than some wartime soldiers and what we're going to face abroad have a look at this picture from one of the rallies this officers got some serious combat gear but that looks like serious stuff on the shoulder of the let's take a closer look so we've got some of the expositor was what that is where his head gear includes a military helmet you can tell that tactical goggles weapon of choice possibly a grenade launcher as well with an advance sight yet you can see that most clearly

on his side there are two knives well 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 but unreasonable thing to think is it this shows you how it's planned people are talking about it under the hashtag ferguson it spread across twitter didn't take long for the subject to engulf the u.s. before spreading across the atlantic to europe only after this kind of reaction to nights of protests of the police finally them revealed the name of that officer who shot the teenager his name 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 or iraq so you know 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 the shooting of michael brown just the latest scandal involving police brutality in the u.s. has led to massive rage in july and as much he died after an officer put him in a chokehold even though the victim repeatedly said that he had difficulty breathing you listen to the words that you could hear it there was some footage you show in the last couple of days time and again this month a mentally ill man was gunned down by police during an investigative stop and one of the most distressing incidents here took place in georgia in may when this baby was severely injured by a stun grenade in a police raid offices and got the wrong house. this is the internet coming up

hiding your source of information from the us authorities could cost you did press three that once again suffers a blow at america for the new york times investigative journalist facing prison for keeping his lips sealed to go but coming up on find out more plus small thousands of israel call for the government to put an end to hamas residents of the west bank now launch a massive boycott of products in the attempt to try to undermine tell of the economy. and. how do you in reality mediation is still there but any to skilling our children they aren't dying also hard conditions asked most leukemia that the authorities are still hiding the truth from us still and i don't know why don't they have children on their own because it hurts so much to know the two counts protect our children

so this. is the media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motion security for your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics only of our team. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear in iran said our big story it's true that while some time there's a reason they don't want you to now want to raise that we don't think. now let's break the set. again finland and russia have both voiced concern over the scale of the military operation in ukraine and the humanitarian disaster it's created the statement was

made jointly in sochi where the visiting finnish leader met him a print in auntie's of his going off as the latest on that. 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 clearly 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 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 but if 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.

leaders since the european union introduced the latest set of sanctions targeting the 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 what 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 about peaches since leaving the.

visitation is so difficult because production is a major loss we can make up for it and we want to receive company. from the bulgarian government or from the european union or national but it from 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 is that what's the statement by statement leaders are changing their tune with regards to sanctions now the on the receiving end of it hungary's prime minister's stated that by imposing sanctions on russia europe is shooting itself in the foot while nearby austria is a group culture minister confirm that the industry there is already lost six million dollars as a result of russia's retaliatory food embargo a member of the european parliament for france's national front part in meantime says it's time now to deescalate. first we decide to stop. the face but sometimes it's. wiser to decide to stop the first

very bad. and to lose a little bit the face of the economy the european economy is now in a very bad situation we have very low growth we have a fact no growth so we need to we we cannot afford to have problems in viagra or sector or france but also for spain for denmark for an imbalance and so many countries but a great story line upon line for tonight should not check the website of the already party that used to be on the fringe of british politics is heading the donations just for the deeply euro skeptic you can depend on these monies to raise more money than the government through the liberal democrats what are they up to find out on wider t.v. or car albums we've all got used to exploring cities through google street view very nice but how about heading underwater online learn how could soon be going on

of those waves to discover the beauty of the this. press freedom is a basic right written into the u.s. constitution but it's one apparently not enjoyed by new york times journalist james rice and these now facing jail for not revealing a whistleblower source has garnered you can reports next this could result in a major blow to investigative journalism in the united states. this is a petition with one hundred thousand signatures on it demanding that the u.s. government stop its pursuit of the york times journalist james rice that the u.s. justice department wants him to give up than most 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 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 a former cia employee who was later charged under the espionage act for allegedly disclosing secrets to the reporter buys 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 i don't 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. that continue you know aggressive investigation recording 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's change pricing to testify against his alleged source it will be a major blow to investigative journalism and to the west in washington i'm going to check on marty. thousands of people marched in tel aviv to thank the military for its offensive against the palestinians demonstrators called on the government on the army to end hamas rocket attacks from gaza once and for all and estimated ten

thousand israelis gathered there for the first major demonstration backing the i.d.f. splitter campaign in gaza israel spent more than a month form bought in the territory in defense from hamas rocket fire the land sea and air assault killed nearly two thousand palestinians. civilians and children israel lost sixty four soldiers during the campaign but as harry fear reports for our next people in the west bank and are using another kind of weapon to support guards around her. a boycott of israeli 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 pick something i check with where if it is made in israel or outside if i buy some israeli stuff. the money will go to the military who are the guy who is going who's bombing my brothers and it feels amazing it

feels like an it's a way of resistance 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 fear r.t.

jerusalem. this is outs international thanks for watching up next a story that has been in the headlines so much of late but still so so important for from fukushima so the talks to the full matter one of the cities so badly hit by that nuclear disaster might be as well see again about how the next news of. 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 up a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. if sweden or finland to bring deep to join me to that would provoke some sort of free action on the by the prostate this is.
