war about this area so what's holding back the aid trucks. well russia's foreign ministry has criticised some of ukraine's state institutions for quotation distorting the facts about the russian humanitarian convoy currently parked here in risto friesian and as you just said stark and unable to cross into ukraine according to some media ukraine's national security council accused mosco refusing to deliver the humanitarian cargo to the eastern ukraine now will torn through the areas controlled by key but mostly argues saying that. both countries agreed on initial itinerary but later it was key if the rejects of the site here say it will not be able to provide security for the convoy and this is how it was decided that the trucks will be crossing into ukraine through checkpoints

controlled by anti government forces russia is now calling for both sides to agree and to follow the cease fire in eastern ukraine to allow the humanitarian aid reach those who are in desperate need in these regions russia has also denied the accusations of lack of transparency that we are hearing from many different sides actually and from kiev as well saying but both kiev and international red cross were provided with a very detailed information about the communitarian cargo and well in advance so they had time enough to check their lease and move to the point we have to say that for several days already the location where the trucks are now is open for mass media and many journalists have already visited the place and we know that the driver is welcome reporters and be ready to open any traffic he warned if they require these and this is my reports from the scene food water

medicine as well as room blankets and sleeping bags welcome relief at a time of despair. this russian convoy has hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid destined for eastern ukraine and its help that saudi needed four months of n.d. terribly ration has their towns and rooms more than two thousand people dead and many without clean water to drink. but a whole ritual which are more. than what you. will overthrow a very. marketable initially credible if your trust you don't usually get when i go on the job and you know it. already. you know mean you have to show. your mater and a handful of western governments say russia could be using it as a cover for military support to anti kiev fighters it's not just clear exactly

where the convoluted headed but to certainly be travelling through crane's war torn regions and the drivers say they're worried about the safety of gravity when you first got your support to thriller the subaltern literally sped up on your right from billy kaufman fort campbell. back or charged you up with a. rational. i was going to put your what your work with the chinese show was the old news when you were in your group before the trip was issued with mushroom in your brain you're on the correct order which is from recall the relief convoys ready to go but the russian red cross officials say it could take another week for international and ukrainian monitors to verify the cargo and decide on the route it will take place is ceasefire could be on the cards these two hundred eighty trucks have already covered one thousand kilometer distance to reach the borders but this is not their final destination now they are waiting to cross into ukraine to bring humanitarian aid they're caring to those when desperate need for

weeks locals have been sheltering in dark basements surviving on drilling supplies you know tent these are some of the people going up to the material that's already tagged and waiting to be delivered. to the race nationality the russian ukrainian border. russia has dismissed as nonsense reports and social media that one of its armed patrol units crossed the border into ukraine there were a battle was in response to the ukrainian president who allegedly boasted that the unit had been 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. the story was broken by a pair of british journalists working for the guardian and telegraph newspapers they posted on twitter that they had witnessed an incursion which happened at night

as proof they posted pictures showing armored personnel carriers on a road to an undisclosed location during the day despite the severity of the claims and lack of evidence the allegations were taken at face value a western politicians spoke to number of political analysts investigative journalists on the matter but this is a vision that happens the ukrainians and nato would have been desperate to get video of this of food the graphs are up on the internet on the t.v. saying here is proof of a russian putin words invasion of ukraine other yourself to ask this if the russians were going to invade ukraine would they just send in some armored personnel carriers whitely 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

we would know about it and there would be no debate about it would be actually in strange russia do you that would be absolutely in changeful full russian armored vehicles to go in they advertised what they were knowing everybody's got cameras everybody can take photographs and knowing the political situation regarding this conflict would be absolutely sure charlotte russia to do that. you know i also mentioned more ukrainian troops have crossed the border into russia feeling fighting in the east is just the latest such incident and far from the biggest two weeks ago more than four hundred ukrainian soldiers illegally crossed the border into russia seeking sanctuary in. the e.u. has threatened to more potential sanctions against russia blaming it for the violence in eastern ukraine however the anonymous supporter required to pass more sanctions is falling away so like us prime minister criticized them as

a meaningless gesture that would threaten economic growth in e.u. state member states while check the president came the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could lead to a spiral of worsening relations that achieve nothing that divide has deepened even further after russia's retaliatory ban on western produce food moving forward expert exporters facing billions in losses earlier we spoke to the european union ambassador to russia the 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 to russian market who have been under scrutiny of appropriate dressing situations here for a certain sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding new

munitions however of course we're keen to maintain the trade we value russian customers and i'm sure the russian government values european products and i hope we'll come back to business as usual soon. kiev has once again said it doesn't know where missing russian photographer under a stand in is another interior ministry suggested he could be being held by anti-government forces he disappeared in eastern ukraine ten days ago and the ukrainian military has appeared conflicted on whether they have them on not at first they deny did then an interior ministry spokesperson confirmed in an interview to a levy and radio station they indeed helston and captive on accusations of assisting terrorists but then backtracked to blaming a bad translation russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are demanding the correspondent is immediately released several fresh flash mobs have taken place around the world following a free entry campaign launched on social networks. the

police officer who shot dead and unarmed teenager in the us town of ferguson has been named the death caused public outrage and subsequent release a strong report the response from the authorities and associates who can i reports from the latest protest in ferguson in the suburbs of st louis missouri protesters are continuing to come out onto the streets 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 in a safe place by 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 a name that's all we hear yes 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 and kind of confusing their gold is like the information being released today you know with the name we kind of wanted all the information. you know we said before things 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 our prisons are you threatening that weapons in just are presenting themselves in a threatening manner i was afraid to come out here because when i saw the tear gas and and the manner that they were approaching and read arresting people the atmosphere here is certainly shifted somewhat because for the first fortnight what

we saw were pretty violent clashes between mostly a very heavily militarized police who were using tear gas and rubber bullets people still don't. first why. no one actually. thinks we are on. a purchase in ferguson have led to some criminal groups taking the opportunity to move local shops the some people form lines to protect businesses. protesters claim the police aggression against the rallies is out of proportion the use of fear and rather tear gas in ferguson sparked a somewhat unexpected online response from across the atlantic with palestinians taking to twitter advising protesters a notch to wash their eyes if they hit with tear gas and also urging them to try to keep calm and to avoid running into the wind. now tear gas can have severe health effects include temporary blindness of breathing problems miscarriages as well as

heart and liver damages but tear gas is not the only two used by police to counter the mostly peaceful rallies in ferguson let's take a look now an m. four rifle is in the security forces arsenal a weapon used in various military conflicts police have also been reinforced by light armored vehicles which were in service in afghanistan and iraq and if that's not enough in m.k. eleven sniper rifle to use in combat was seen as necessary to tackle the peace. expert john whitehead believes the police are massively overreacting. a number of studies show that once you put on the 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 in a lot of these little 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 the zone they're violating their free speech rights you have a right to walk up to a civil servant and say sir why are you doing this why you're here there pointing guns at people and chasing them away that's not a policeman anymore again that's the military and that's what we're dealing with most police agencies operate basically any way they want of the local law of city councils and politicians just let them go. as i've written in the number of instances i've seen. it was innocence get they get down to local city council meeting they get their signs and they say we're not moving into you change this thing it's not your aussie kerry in this country and 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 in our warnings after the break including a dutch man who has sent him back and i want to give in to him from the answer any state.

it was very interesting because they were dropped out of the school all over the world war about a girl that was shipped across a few degrees. of the circle and about the speed but you know just astronomical speeds. i marinate joining me on. impartial and financial commentary interviews and much much. only on bombast and only on.

a warning the shelling of playgrounds bombardments on the first day of festivities what other thing can you call it the shelling of hospitals and emergency vehicles what can you call it. we always have friends i'm all for you online including a scandal in the u.k.'s private health sector where victims of operations challenge government plans to give more work more to more contractors outside of the free energy. also online always irritated when you have to close all that pop up ads maybe an apology from the creator will offer some comfort which archie took home to find out more. iraq militants from terror groups known as of this state have reportedly slaughtered an entire kurdish village of around eight hundred people. spending the border of their demeanor which is already made up of vast swaths of land on which they have

proclaimed it own caliphate the village was an inhabited by people a religious minority considered by the extremists to be devil worshipers thousands of them have already fled fearing the sweeping advents of the islamic state and wish. them stayed would reach their homes foreign ministers have agreed to supply arms to the kurdish forces in iraq to help them fight the militants are assesses what it could lead to. hot on the heels of the u.s. and france the u.k. has announced its readiness to supply arms directly to kurdish forces which are trying to fight off brutal jehad 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 your bill but there are fears the lessons of the past haven't been learned it's a quick fix to something that you can arm a group or send

a craft and bomb and so on because that doesn't deal with the problem the main problem is that the politicians don't plan ahead and was reacting to crises in syria the west backed 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 jihadists but what happens if they win with western weapons in hand to know on the kurdish front 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 islamic 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 i don't think we should be encouraging secession in the middle east i think you sort of mean sort of having everything and it's quite risky independence would be complicated because it would create problems. turkey syria and of course rockets but to encourage them in this way. potentially broken government sources in the british media are reportedly keen 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 arming the kurds cared for silicate the breakup

of iraq but for those in favor the need to stop the islamic states murderous campaign is so pressed saying that leaders may have resigned themselves to achieving their short term goal of driving terrorists out of northern iraq first and worrying about the long term consequences later probably boyko r.t. london. in four years or since its launch london's bike highest scheme has proven to be one of the most efficient and popular cycling systems in europe but there are also problems there can be soft pedaled including the mountain costs and cycling safety issues now probed by the campaign is voiced concerns that almost sixty people have been killed and more than two thousand severely injured in cycling incidents since the scheme's introduction now activists say london streets are not safe enough despite the government's promises to make the city bicycle friendly and

now with one of the major sponsors and doing is involvement in the program its success is being questioned further it is what an endurance reports. 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 macin 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 arrange a voyage being put in place which allowed cyclists to go. 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 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 and 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 mare of london has promised segregated cycle tracks and you traffic free public spaces put in 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 campaign is 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 become and integra part of traveling around london and the numbers of uses both new and regular continues to grow but despite the dangers it does seem to be putting londoners all tourists off myself included. with rapid expansion it's obvious that the bara spikes here in london are a great success rolling the idea out 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 mayor's main priority of the scheme martin andrews r.t. london. coming up after the break on r.t.e.

international it's mad max lines are taking dodgy bankers to a tough stand in the u.k. it's a sputnik went just scalloway. it was recently revealed that under the guise of an hiv prevention workshop and as tourists you know let americans were sent to cuba by the u.s. government to overthrow that government yes the u.s. agency for international development organized for these young people to go to cuba to recruit and set up new political activists however the infiltrators were not very good at their jobs and the cuban authorities were able to nab of these well funded travelers in their country this is nowhere near the first time that the u.s. government has tried to meddle in cuba in two thousand and nine usa he tried to set

up a twitter like program to organize people in cuba and we can't forget about the ill fated cuban television airplane that was supposed to bombard the island with western media that was totally blocked by the government during the cold war i could see the justification to dominate cuba if the us didn't have influence in a country that automatically the soviets did but now what is the justification why does the us need to infiltrate cuba and by what right cuba doesn't have nukes put in america and they have limited industrial capacity they can't do anything to anyone just leave the poor island alone and let the people there figure out their own future without the us state department's help 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 part of russia and the safe as far as military calculus is concerned none of what faces humanity.
