i. mean like. the ukrainian army says it's fighting government forces in the streets of dawn yes while russian trucks with humanitarian aid for striking civilians are being stalled at the border. russia ridicules online reports that one of its units has been destroyed in ukraine with no evidence or wreckage to back up the allegations from kiev. armored vehicles and sniper rifles primed to put not for a military operation u.s. or forty's use them to disperse rioters demanding justice for a teenager shot dead by police in the us town of ferguson. a new approves aid to kurdish fighters in iraq pouring more weapons into the war ridden

country as terrorists from the islamic state group or to the massacre of an entire village of. you're watching r.t. international we're coming to you live from moscow it's now nine pm in the russian capital it's good to have you with us. the ukrainian army says it's in the last stages of its operation in the east of the country they claim street fights underway and done yet going to ganske as it pushes out government forces now this is what constant shelling has been doing to the cities at least four civilians were killed in the latest attacks and locals say they don't know why they're being targeted. do you think you are just cold but you can. make sure. you're feeling for the night so you must tell you the best thing in.

the world we're going to push it we are. probably. well apart from the constant fighting and destruction locals in east ukraine is suffering from shortages of food water and electricity russia is trying to send humanitarian aid to the conflict zone but the convoy is stuck at the border with the sides trying to agree how to get it through maria phenomena joins me live with more marie is there and he saw and then could see that this convoy will be crossing the border any time soon. but it's still very hard to say whether the congo will start moving anytime soon but after almost six hours of negotiations with russia's border control international red cross spokesperson has come to me to say that both russian and ukrainian governments have agreed on holiday convoys and military aid from russia will be delivered to water and eastern

ukraine but he has added that the rust still two major challenges one challenge is of course security and safety and they are waiting for word in science to give them guarantees that the convoy bringing tons of humanitarian aid will be safe while traveling across the eastern ukrainian regions where clashes are still continuing and where what key of course is anti terror parisian is on the go away now but what's even more important and this is the second challenge is that the convoy cannot soft move in until it is checked by the red cross and the red cross is currently waiting for ukraine to give them a green light to start base inspection hole though it was agreed that this inspection will happen here at these checkpoints. firing a hand just to remind you from the ukrainian side it is under control of anti government forces healthy the convoy is stuck on the russian ukrainian bullet or.

at the moment when people in eastern ukraine in desperate need of practically everything and this question we carry is food water medicine as well as well blankets and sleeping bags but cannot start moving here had too many questions to mosco accusing russia of using humanitarian convoy as a pretext to send weapons and troops there too since an antique here front is in eastern ukraine where we can say that the location where two hundred eighty trucks are currently poverty and restore region several kilometers from where we are now from the borders has been open to media and in. many journalists have visited this site and they were able to look at what is inside the tracks including our channel and many other channels both russian and poor as of this is my report about what is his convoy bringing to in ukraine. 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 tear up the ration has left towns and runes more than two thousand people dead and many without clean water to drink the water which you will which are more. which. go over to the other very. marketable initially credible if you've got good money for the people in niger and the government and you know it. all rika. up with. your major and a handful of western governments say russia could be using it as a cover for military support to end to kiev fighters it's not just clear exactly where the convoluted headed but it has certainly be travelling through cranes move

to in regions and the drivers say they're worried about the safety of gravity when you factor your support to thriller to stop of them literally sped up on your right from bill we can often afford. to back or charged you up if you could. actually. i was going to do it but you will hear more with the chinese she was the old news when you were in your group before the trip was issued with mushroom in your butt and you were with kirk broadfoot which is what i'm doing the relief convoy is 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 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 carrying to those when desperate need for

weeks no clues have been sheltering in dark basement surviving on lies you tell and these are some of the people calling out for the material that's already and it would seem to be deliberate. research noti russian ukrainian border. over russia has dismissed as nonsense reports on social media the one of its armored patrol units crossed the border into ukraine the rebuttal 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 now the story was broken by a pair of british journalists working for the u.k.'s guardian and telegraph newspapers they posted on twitter that they had witnessed the incursion which happened at night as proof they posted pictures showing armored personnel carriers

on a road of an undisclosed location during the day despite the severity of the claims and lack of evidence the allegations were taken at face value by a number of western politicians we spoke to political analyst an investigative journalist on the matter. this invasion had happened 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. see here is proof of a russian putin led invasion of ukraine and 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 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 for russian armored

vehicles to go in day in court day like advertising what would work knowing that everybody's got cameras everybody could take photographs and knowing the little situation regarding this conflict it would be absolutely sure a shard of russia to do that meanwhile seventeen more ukrainian troops of crossed the border into russia fleeing fighting in the east it's the latest incident but far from the biggest two weeks ago more than four hundred ukrainian soldiers in legally cross the border into russia seeking sanctuary. but the year is threatening more potential sanctions against russia blaming it for the violence in eastern ukraine however the unanimous support required is falling away so that his prime minister criticized them as a meaningless gesture that would threaten economic growth in e.u. member states while the czech president claims the restrictions themselves are in affective 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 produced food even food export

has facing billions in losses earlier we spoke to the european union's ambassador to russia he hopes for a quick return to business as usual. of course some companies. may face some losses. will be looking for the alternatives as i said specially those countries and those exporters market who have been under scrutiny of proper dress institutions here faced certain sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding new. however of course we came to maintain the trade value customer. show the russian customer values european product and it will come back to business as usual soon kiev has reiterated it doesn't know where missing russian photographer andre stannin is the interior ministry suggested anti-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 him or not first they denied it then an interior ministry spokesperson confirmed didn't interview to a lobby and radio station they indeed held standing captive on accusations of assessing terrorists then backtracked claiming a bad translation russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are demanding the correspondent is immediately released a social media campaign called free andrea is now under way and there have been a several flash mobs around the world in support. the police officer who shot dead an unarmed teenager in the u.s. town of ferguson has been named the death caused public outrage and subsequent rallies met a strong response from the author of taste and to see it in reports from the latest protest. ok ferguson in the suburbs of st louis missouri protesters are continuing

to come out onto the streets calling for justice in the case killings 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 you have been kept 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 that's 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 that crucial to determining. what happened that night 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 we. got to this level initially i was afraid to come out here because when i saw all the militia you know the police out here showing presenting 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 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 still don't understand why this is yet to be killed by multiple gunshots fired or think we are not on the campus. of the protests and five percent like some criminal groups taking the opportunity to move local shops. some people form lines to protect businesses protesters claim the police aggression against the rallies is

out of proportion the use of tear gas in ferguson sparked a somewhat unexpected online response from across the atlantic with palestinians taking to twitter and rising protestors not to wash their eyes if they hit with tear gas and also urging them to try and keep carbon to avoid running into the wind and tear gas 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 ferguson and m. four rifle is also in the security forces arsenal a weapon used in various military conflicts police have also been reinforced by light armored vehicles which are in service in afghanistan and in iraq and if that's not enough an 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 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 qaida 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 a policeman any 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 law of the city councils and politicians just let them go. as i've written in a number of instances i've seen on local citizens 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 if not you're going to see kerry in this country this is this is the

face of the government that they what you're seeing in ferguson and it's only going to get worse if we don't back it all morning is coming your way including reports of an entire cut it's been an massacred in iraq stay with us. join me. in park and. carry contribute. only on going past and. it was very interesting because there were dropped out of the sky the roar of.

leather would shift across a few degrees. of the circle in combat at a speed but you know just astronomical speeds. in iraq militants from the terror group the islamic states have reportedly slaughtered an entire village of around eighty people the jihadists are expanding the borders of their domain which is already made up of vos waves of land on which they proclaimed their own caliphate the village was inhabited by yazidi people a religious minority considered by the extremist to be devil worshipers thousands

of them have already fled fearing the sweeping involves of the islamic state with harms a foreign ministers have agreed to supply to the kurdish forces in iraq to help them fight the militants. 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 jihadists 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 are fears the lessons of the past haven't been learnt it's a quick fix to something that you can arm a group or send in craft 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 warped 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 the hand to now on the kurdish fighters testifies to a tokenistic and indeed a short term solution to a very real problem which is defined back isis let's not forget that by arming the kurdish fighters what is actually being encouraged is the breakup of iraq as a sovereign entity the kurds are desperate for independence from iraq and when they make 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 it seems to sort of mean sort of having everything and it's quite risky independence would be complicated because you would create call. turkey syria and of course iraq itself but to encourage them in this way is. potentially breaking in iraq 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 scared facilitate 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

the second largest cycle highest system in europe it remains an affordable and enjoyable way to travel around the city so far so good but what's the future for cyclists in the british capital. range of oil rigs 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 days 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 well and 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 to america london has promised segregated cycle tracks and you traffic free public spaces put 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 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 the push bikes have become and integra part of travelling 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 taurus off myself included. eggs abound here it's obvious that the barest bikes 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 douras r.t. london. coming up on r.t. international air and aid will take you through the booms and busts of the financial world but if you're in the u.k. we meet people living with a red genetic condition that prematurely ages them stay with us.

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 let me put a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. ira stray. in december 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 they would ever admit publicly.
