and or the e.u. approves aging kurdish fighters in iraq more weapons into the war ridden country as terrorists from this time exchanged reportedly massacre an entire village of kurds . desire to international law from moscow this afternoon you with me to say. the ukrainian army says it's in the last stages of its operation in the east of the country it claims street fights are underway and near and lugansk as it pushes out and to government forces because they are suffering from shortage of food water and electricity russia is trying to send humanitarian aid to the conflict say but the convoy is stuck at the border and we have national is the. probably russia's

foreign ministry has criticised some of ukraine state institutions for quotation distorting the facts about the russian humanitarian convoy currently parked here in risto frigid according to some media ukraine's national security council accused mosco over for refusing to deliver the humanitarian cargo through the areas controlled by key but mostly argue saying that both countries agreed on initial itinerary but later it was key if that rejected the site here saying it will not be able to provide security for the convoy and this is how it was decided that the trucks will be cautioning to 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 saying that international red cross were provided with

a very detailed information about the communitarian cargo we have to say that for several days already the location where the trucks are now is open for mass media and the driver is welcome reporters and they are ready to open any traffic they want if they require these and this is my reports from the scene. food water medicine as well as warm 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 sorely needed for months of end to terror appear ation has left towns and rooms more than two thousand people dead and many without clean water to drink. but a whole ritual if you're more. than forty. below the clerical very. marketable initially put aboard your task you don't usually get when i go on the

job and you know i. don't have your typical. morning of the show that. you're made to and a handful of western governments say russia could be using it as a cover for michu a support to end to kiev fighters it's not just clear exactly where the convoluted headed but to certainly be travelling through ukraine is war torn regions and the drivers say they're worried about the safety of gravity when you factor your support to thriller is double the little we spend up on the news but i really cannot afford. a buck or two h.q. over to you. personally. margaret approachable with your work with the chinese critical person she was the old news when you brought in your group for the trip was issued with mushroom in your brain you were with kirk broadfoot which is kind of. 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 would take he says cease fire 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 who are in desperate need for weeks locals have been sheltering in dark basements surviving on doing clean supplies you know and these are some of the people with the material that's already trying to encourage them to be delivered to the resource noti russian ukrainian border. russia has dismissed as nonsense reports on social media that one of its arms of petrol units crossed into the border into ukraine there are wattle 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 of 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 u.k. the guardian and telegraph newspapers they posted on twitter that they had witnessed the incursion which happened at night as proof a person pictures showing armored personnel carriers on a road at an undisclosed location during the day despite the severe ety of their claims and lack of evidence the allegations were taking their face value by a string of western politicians who spoke to a number of political analysts and investigative journalists on the matter. 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 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 changeful the russian armored vehicles to go in they advertised what they were knowing that everybody's got cameras everybody can take photographs and knowing the political situation regarding this conflict it would be absolutely sure assad brush it to do that. well seventeen more ukrainian troops have crossed the border into russia fleeing fighting in the east it's the latest incident and far from the biggest two weeks ago more than four hundred ukrainian soldiers illegally crossed the border into russia seeking sanctuary. the e.u.

has threatened more potential sanctions against russia blaming it for the violence in eastern ukraine however the unanimous support required to pass some more sanctions is falling away now slovakia is prime minister criticized them as a meaningless gesture that with threaten economic growth in the e.u. member states while the czech president claimed the restrictions on selves 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 leaving food exports is facing billions in losses 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 especially

those countries and those exporters market who have been under scrutiny of appropriate russian situations here for a certain sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding new. however of course we came to maintain the trade value russian customers and i'm sure the russian customer values european product and i hope will come back to business as usual soon. givers once again said it doesn't know where missing russian photographer under a stand in is the interior ministry suggested and say government forces could be holding him 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 latvian radio station they indeed held stand in captive ikea's ations of assisting terrorists but then backfilled tracts blaming it on bad translation

russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are demanding the correspondent is immediately released a social media campaign called free andrew is now underway and they have been several flash mobs around the world in support. a police officer who shot dead and an armed teenager in the us town of fags and has been named the death calls public outrage and subsequent rallies a strong response from the authorities and a society can i reports from the latest protest in ferguson and in the suburbs of st louis missouri protesters are continuing to come out to the streets calling for justice in the case of our 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 the state police 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 a name that's all we hear yes there. is a lot more we need to learn about him especially in the way so 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. like the information being released today you know with the name we kind of wanted all the information back when you know we say 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 started to 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 four nights what we saw were pretty violent clashes between mostly a very heavily militarized police who were using tear gas and rubber bullets people . i don't understand why. so. much. going on are. the protests in ferguson have led to some criminal groups taking the opportunity to loot local shops some people form lines to protect businesses. approaches as came the police aggression against the rallies it is out of proportion of the use of tear gas and focus and sparked a somewhat unexpected online response from across the atlantic where palestinians taking to twitter advising protesters not to watch their eyes if they're hit with

teargas and also urging them to try to keep calm and to avoid running into the wind teargas can have severe health effects they include temporary blindness breathing problems miscarriages as well as heart and liver damage but tear gas is not the only tool used by police to counter the mostly peaceful rallies in fact assume the stricken look now and m. four rifle is in that the security forces are still a weapon used in various military conflicts police have also been reinforced by light armored vehicles which were in service in afghanistan and in iraq and if that's not enough and m.k. eleven sniper rifle also use and combat was seen as necessary to tackle the peaceful rallies law enforcement expert john whitehead believes the police are overreacting. a number of studies show that once you put on the gear as the

policemen 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 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 they more again that's the military and that's what we're dealing with most police agencies operate basically anyway the lot of the local city councils and politicians just let them go. but i've written in a number of instances i've seen. it was innocence get made 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 own seat 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. one is after the break including a dust man who was sent back in a wad given to him by ends well. i restrained. in december of two thousand and ten. more likely to be raped in college and in the real world. i don't think simple did that to each other when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger in the bushes. girl complaining about the son of an alumni gives millions of dollars to the school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school of schools that make money based decisions are much more common than

already shipping ammunition and supplies mother eastern european countries into a bill but there are fears the lessons of the past haven't been learnt it's a quick fix to to think that you can arm a group or send an aircraft and bomb and so on that doesn't deal with the problem 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 mix 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 fighters 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. so look at cheney bowl last month one iraqi kurdish leader told local lawmakers to plan for an independence referendum harder than we should be encouraging secession in the middle east are simply. means to the front of the sea it's quite independence would be complicated because you could create problems in turkey syria under rockets but to encourage them in this way is. potentially a break in iraq government sources in the british media reported leaking 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 boyko artsy london and a second look at other headlines around the world thousands of protesters have reached a distance capital islamabad after three hundred kilometer march in support of opposition leaders one group is led by a politician in one hundred years following to continue a sit in until the current prime minister resigns a separate convoy was headed by the empty government cleric to hear that he was calling for

injured in cycling incidents since the scheme's introduction activists say london's streets are not safe enough despite of the government's promises to make the city bicycle friendly and now with the one of the major sponsors ending its involvement in the program is success is being questioned further artie's much in injuries 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 ranger 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 plan for the 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 people on bikes the mare of london has promised segregated cycle tracks and you traffic free public spaces putting almost a billion pounds into pro bike reforms this includes redesigning london's road 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 this too talking about doing that to push bikes to 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 doesn't 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

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 a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. sweden or finland to bring deep to join nato dots would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia if this is part of the military calculus is concerned none of what faces humanity 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 like cannibalism and slavery and child labor it doesn't belong to civilization to kill each other. hello there i marinate it this is boom bust these are some of the stories that we're tracking for you today. first up in europe's in an economic depression and things don't seem to be getting much better we look into the factors contributing to this and if there's any hope for the continent coming out on the other side and while europe's great recession looks worse than it did in the 1930's not everyone believes that the continent is down for the count by.
