6:05 am
only evidence they provided was a number of photos showing armored vehicles in a road in an identifiable locations not even need to express their concern at the news however the un in washington is they can confirm any russian unit across the border was work to a number of political analysts and investigative journalists on the matter. this is a vision that happens the ukrainians and nato would have been desperate to get video of this of photographs are up on the internet it's on the t.v. saying here is proof of a russian putin led invasion of ukraine they also have to ask 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

member states while the czech president claimed the restrictions are themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations that achieve nothing now that divide has deepened even further after russia's retaliatory ban on western produce food that left many european companies without access to a key market earlier we spoke to the european union's ambassador to russia he expressed hope for a quick return to business as usual of course some companies. may face some losses. will be looking for alternatives as i said specially those countries and those exporters market who have been understood unity of. sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding new munitions however of course we came to maintain the trade value russian customers and i'm

sure the russian customer values product and i hope will come back to business as usual soon. here is once again said it doesn't know where the where the missing russian photographer andrei stand in is now the interior ministry suggested he could be held by and to government forces he disappeared in eastern ukraine ten days ago and the ukrainian military seems undecided whether they have him or not at first they denied it then an interior ministry spokesperson confirmed in an interview to a latvian radio station they indeed held standing captive on accusations of assisting terrorists but then backtracked blaming a bad translation russia the e.u. one and the international human rights groups are demanding the correspondent is immediately released several of flash mobs have taken place all over the world following a free andrew campaign launched on social networks. the

police officer who shot dead and black teenager in the u.s. town of five a sin has been named but that's a fail to quell the public outrage over the shooting and the militarized response of the authorities to protest rallies and it is an associate reports even further than in the suburbs of st louis missouri protesters are continuing to come out onto the streets calling for justice in the case of the feelings of eighteen year old unarmed michael brown. 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 our police here ever since being took place earlier we spoke with one of the attorneys of michael brown's family and this is what he told about the information that's been released by the police just in maine that's all we hear yes
6:10 am
there. is a lot more we need to learn about him especially in relation to you know his actions after he shot by going before he shot those things are crucial to determining what happened and we spoke to some people about this latest information i'm kind of confused gold is like the information being released today you know with the name we kind of wanted all the information back when you know weeks before i got to this level initially i was afraid to come out here because when i saw all the malicious you know the police out here showing brzezinski threatening our weapons in just are presenting themselves in a threatening manner i was afraid to come out here because when i started to tear gas in and the manner 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 a woefully

a very heavily militarized police were using tear gas and rubber bullets people. first why. so. much. going on are. the use of teargas by police in fact arson has sparked a somewhat unexpected online response from across the atlantic with the palestinians taking to twitter advising protestors not to wash their eyes if they're hit with cheer gas and also urging them to try to keep calm and to avoid running into the wind now tear gas is known for its severe health effects they include temporary blindness breathing problems miscarriages as well as heart and liver damage but your guess is not the only tool used by police to counter the mostly peaceful rallies in fact assume that security forces have also had an m. four rifle in their arsenal a weapon used in various military conflicts police have also been reinforced by
6:12 am
light armored vehicles which were in service in afghanistan as well as in iraq and if that's not enough in m.k. eleven sniper rifle also used in combat was seen as necessary to tackle the peaceful rallies and law enforcement expert john whitehead believes the police are massively overreacting. a number of studies show that once you put on that gear as a policeman and you're trained you start acting like a military unit like you're in a patrol and unfortunately what happens is the psychology changes and a lot of these local policemen when they're approaching a house for a swat team or a it's like they're moving in on al qaeda supposedly where the masters and they're the servants but you know in ferguson they're telling people to back off twenty five feet get in a zone they're violating their free speech rights you have a right to walk up to a civil servant and say sir why you doing this why you're here they're pointing guns at people and chasing them away that's not
6:13 am
a policeman they more again that's the military and that's what we're dealing with most police agencies operate basically any way the laws of the local law of city councils and politicians just let them go. as i've written in a number of instances i've seen. what was innocence get me get down to a local city council meeting they get their signs and they say we're not moving into you change this thing if not you're going to see kerry in this country this is this is the face of the government today what you're seeing in ferguson and it's only going to get worse if we don't back it all. the ferguson a shooting may have led to some serious shifts in you was an r. and t. dot com we've got the results of a poll showing how the killing of michael brown ahead of her trust in the even almost half of the nation disillusioned. and coming up a man who was honored with an award for saving a jewish child during world war two now says he doesn't want to any more dead people involvement of god is behind the elderly man's decision or we'll tell you
