sheltering in dark base means surviving on doing clean supplies of food and water and these are some of the people calling out for the material help that's already packed and waiting to dilute. the russian ukrainian border. and russia has denied one of its armed patrol units across the border into ukraine that came as a response to the ukrainian president's statement which went on to say that the unit was destroyed 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 well the story emerged went to moscow based correspondent for the u.k.'s guardian and the telegraph newspapers posted on twitter they saw a column of militia military vehicles with russian plates crossing the border into ukraine despite the fact that the only evidence for this was
1:05 am
a number of photos show showing armored vehicles on the roads in an identifiable locations the western media was very quick to pick up the story the e.u. and nato expressed their concern at the news however the u.n. and washington say they cannot confirm any russian unit actually crossed the border i hear an r.t. international we spoke to a number of political analysts and investigative journalists on this matter. but this invasion that happens the ukrainians and nato would have been desperate to get video of this of photographs are up on the internet on the t.v. saying here is proof of a russian putin led invasion of ukraine and they also authorized this if the russians were going to invade ukraine would they just send in some armored personnel carriers lightly armored vehicles 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 as waged with drones and fighter helicopters there were an actual russian military invasion of ukraine
1:06 am
we would know about it and there would be no debate about it would be absolutely insane to russia do that would it absolutely in change will for russian armored vehicles to go in they will get a look at the types of what they can work knowing that everybody's got cameras everybody can take photographs and knowing the political situation regarding this conflict it would be absolutely sure a side of russia to do that. and the e.u. has threatened to impose another round of sanctions on russia blaming it for the violence in eastern ukraine however the unity of our sanctions appears to be fraying slovakia's a prime minister criticized them as a meaningless gesture that would threaten economic growth in e.u. member states while the czech president claimed the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations that a chief absolutely nothing we spoke to the european union's ambassador to russia expressed hope for a quick return to business as usual of course some companies may or
1:07 am
may may face some losses and will be looking for alternatives as i said especially those countries and those exporters to the russian market who have been under scrutiny of appropriate russian situations here faced certain sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding a new new new however of course we came to maintain that trade we value russian customer and i am sure the russian customer values european product and i hope will come back to business as usual soon. and kiev has once again said it doesn't know where the missing russian photographer and drays standing is the interior ministry suggested that he could be held by anti-government forces now he disappeared in eastern ukraine ten days ago and the ukrainian military seems undecided whether or not they have him at first they denied it then interior ministry spokesperson
1:08 am
confirmed in an interview to a lot of you and radio station they indeed were holding standing captive on accusations of assisting terrorists but then it backtracked blaming that of a bad translation russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are demanding their correspondent is immediately released and several flash mobs have taken place all over the world following a free andrew campaign launched on social networks. it's r.t. international the police officer who shot dead an unarmed black teenager in the us town of ferguson has been named that's failed to quell the public outrage at the lack of details over the shooting and the militarized response of all authorities to protest rallies and more demonstrations show jewel for sunday auntie's honest reports. we're standing in the central street in ferguson where now in the sixth
1:09 am
day in a row protesters are continuing to come out on the street if you can see behind me is the convenience store that was torched down on sunday when the mayhem began here on the streets and right now all of these know all of this noise as the cars passing by honking in support of the protesters that are gathered here now there's about several dozen people people here now but certainly night after night we've seen hundreds if not thousands of people come out onto the streets the name of the police officer behind the killing has been released aaron wilson is twenty eight years old he is white and we do know that he has been kept in a safe place by the police here ever since to being so please we spoke to some people earlier today about what they think of this latest information take a listen i'm kind of confused goes like the information being released today you know with the name we kind of won the information back when you know we. got to this level initially i was afraid to come out here because when i saw the
1:10 am
militias you know the police out here showing brzezinski threatening our weapons in just presenting themselves in a threatening manner i was afraid to come out here because when i saw it tear gas in and the minute that they were approaching and read arresting people the atmosphere here is certainly shifted somewhat because for the first four nights what we saw were pretty violent clashes between very heavily militarized police who were using tear gas and rubber bullets tensions have in fact died down before almost no police presence here on the ground last night still thousands of people came out in a peaceful country really loud like now but even louder protests. and the use of tear gas by police in ferguson a spot a somewhat unexpected online response from across the atlantic palestinians taking to twitter advising protesters not to wash their eyes if they hit with tear gas also urging them to try to keep calm and avoid running into. the wind teargassed known for severe health effects including temporary blindness breathing problems
1:11 am
miscarriages as well as a heart and liver problems as well but tear gas is not the only tool used by police to counter the mostly peaceful rallies in ferguson for example security forces have also had an m. four rifle in their arsenal the weapon used in many military conflicts police have also been reinforced by light armored vehicles which of course in afghanistan and iraq and if that's not enough in m.k. eleven sniper rifle also used in combat that was seen as necessary to tackle the peaceful rallies as well but here in our international we gauge reaction from a former police officer stephen downing. the military says. the military is trained to kill the enemy law enforcement has no way to be even the most dangerous criminal is someone who's entitle to the protection of the constitution the bill of rights and the rule of law. so what's happening in america
1:12 am
will be this first all of this is basically free because every little podunk department in the country has received this equipment but they haven't received training with it but we have received requirements that they use it and so they use it for the smallest things to serve search warrants on a medical marijuana. and the result is that one of these police officers are not trained to use a. serious and how. of the ferguson shooting it may have that led to some serious shifts in us society on the dot com we've got the results of a brand new poll showing how the killing of michael brown of trust and police leaving almost half of the nation highly disillusioned. and a catch me if you can of criminals might fancy their chances of making
1:13 am
a quick getaway as hundreds of british police officers fail to fitness tests the results if you want to see them there online right now it ought to be thought to call them for the meantime we are back in just a moment but the rest of the world's top headlines. sweden or finland to bring deep to join nato that would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia at least as far as military calculus is concerned none of what faces humanity eastern. asked north and south lawn of it can't be solved by military means or crafts or satellites or nuclear weapons military is outdated it should go like cannibalism and slavery and child labor it doesn't belong to civilization to kill each other.

years rarely discussed. till now really rather not talk about that right. saturday morning in a moscow thanks for joining us on r.t. international to iraq we go and it's kurdish village has been reportedly massacred by the jihadists militants that have managed to occupy the northwest of the country and the population of the village consisted of the minority persecuted by islamists are considered to be devil worshipers by the jihadists thousands of people have fled their homes to escape the onslaught meanwhile e.u. foreign ministers have agreed to supply arms to the kurdish forces in iraq to help them fight the militants. are now assessing what it could lead to. hot on the heels
1:17 am
of the u.s. and france the u.k. has announced its readiness to supply arms directly to cut its forces which. to fight off brutal jihad tests in northern iraq the u.k. has said we will also consider favorably any requests for supplies of arms we already shipping ammunition and supplies mother eastern european countries into a bill but there if it is the lessons of the past haven't been learnt it's a quick fix to something that you can on the group or send across the bomb and so on that that doesn't deal with the problem main problem is that the politicians don't plan ahead to always reacting to crises in syria the west back the rebels who then walked into the a ceramic state the very problem now being faced across the border in iraq and the two thousand and eleven western backed overthrow of colonel gadhafi led to three years of political chaos in libya with weapons again falling into the wrong hands and according to the un flooding west africa now the kurds need help fighting
1:18 am
jihadists but what happens if they win with western weapons in hand to know on the kurdish point is testifies to a tokenistic and indeed a short term solution to a very real problem which is to fight back isis let's not forget that by arming the kurdish fighters what is actually being encouraged is to break up of iraq as a sovereign entity the kurds are desperate for independence from iraq and when the islam mix state was a problem only in the south of the country the prospect of an autonomous north began to look at spain a bowl last month one iraqi kurdish leader told local lawmakers to plan for an independence referendum and then we should be encouraging secession in the middle east i think it sort of means sort of having everything and it's quite risky independence would be complicated because you would create problems in turkey and
1:19 am
syria and of course iraq itself but to encourage them in this way is a question. but iraq government sources in the british media reportedly came to stress that the u.k. is not moving towards direct military intervention in iraq and that sending arms is consistent with the government's response to a humanitarian crisis critics fear because scared facilitate the breakup of iraq but for those in favor the need to stop the islam makes states murderous campaign is so precious saying that leaders may have resigned themselves to achieving their short term goal of driving terrorists out of northern iraq fust i'm worrying about the long term consequences later boyko oxy london and libya opens up the antiwar dot date with thousands of turned out in tripoli to protest against the parliament's call for international intervention to restore security to the country
1:20 am
made the request as plasters between rival militia groups continue in and all around the capital and no government though has said that it's willing to commit forces however the u.n. special envoy to libya has said he plans to go to tripoli next week to try to negotiate a cease fire between two of the main militias. and clashes have broken out in the stands between police and anti-government protesters tens of thousands took to the streets calling for the prime minister's resignation reportedly sixty thousand demonstrators gathered for the arrival of two opposition leaders at that of iran and a well known and t. taliban cleric the unrest represents the biggest challenge yet to the premiere and i was shot if his government is accused of corruption and abuse of power. the outbreak of ebola in west africa will take at least six months to bring under control but so according to the charity doctors without borders activists say the

spread has created a wartime situation in the worst affected states of sierra leone liberia. guinea where medical services are at a breaking point there have been now nearly two thousand reported victims. in four years since its launch london's bike hire scheme is proving to be one of the most efficient and popular cycling systems in europe but there are also problems that can't be solved pedals among which are or that of the draining costs of the program and cycling safety issues has modern. there are now over five hundred bike sharing programs around the world double the number from just a few years ago london's bike scheme set up by the previous mac and livingston is now the second largest cycle hire system in europe it remains an affordable and enjoy the way to travel around the city so far so good but what's the future for cyclists in the british capital there's
1:22 am
a range of oil rigs being put in place which allowed cyclists to go a direction around the city on quieter less populous roads there's a cycle superhighways there's already several of those in the city and another five i think planned for next couple of years but to the math adds up the project is draining enormous funds and barclays will end its association next year the bank pays just a sixth of the cost of keeping the bicycles on the road and transport for london said it was left with a bill of over eleven million pounds last year that leaves the u.k. taxpayer remaining one thousand three hundred and eighty eight pounds per bike cycling safety is also a major concern after a number of deaths a major accidents are london's roads safe enough campaign is have said that local authorities need to do more to protect the people on bikes the bear of london has
1:23 am
promised segregated cycle tracks and you traffic free public spaces put almost a billion pounds into pro bike reforms this includes redesigning london's roads transforming badly designed junctions and banning lorries that lack up to date safety features. however as the scheme expands companies say that more should be done but when it came in we said to the mayor you need a good network of routes easy routes that people can get to where they want to go and easy to easy to follow with good directions and they haven't done that they're still talking about doing that to push bikes have become and integra part of traveling around london and the numbers of uses both new and regular continues to grow but despite the danger is it does seem to be putting london as all tourists off myself included. with rapid expansion it's obvious that the bara
1:24 am
spikes here in london are a great success rolling the idea routes around cities in the u.k. and around the world as a healthy eco friendly form of transport the benefits are clear but the public safety traffic issues and road infrastructure must stay the mezz main priority of the scheme. a lot of them coming up next to an r.t.a. international perhaps a curious case of benjamin button we meet people living with a rare genetic condition which makes them look many times older than their real age but if you're joining us from the u.k. becomes george galloway. 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
1:25 am
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 are legally not responsible for their own actions so yeah that whole free. 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.
