country as it terrorism from the islamic state group reportedly massacre an entire village of kurds. going to live from moscow this is our two international incheon thomas glad to have you with us and ukrainian authorities have officially recognized that russia's humanitarian convoy is in fact carrying aid moscow has been trying to send help to east ukraine where locals are suffering from shortages of food water and electricity but the convoy is stuck at the border as the sides try to agree on how to get it through to civilians or if an ocean is there for us. a few over six hours of negotiations with russian border control the international red cross spokesperson has said that both russian and ukrainian governments have agreed on

the humanitarian aid from russia will be delivered to war torn eastern ukraine adding though that they still remain two major challengers one is of course security concerns directly to trucks carrying humanitarian cargo or he's expected to travel through red cross will be waiting for war insides to give them guarantees that the kind of on will be safe with another challenge and this is maybe even more important his or the convoy cannot start moving until it's checked by the red cross and the red cross is hardly wait in ukraine to give them green light to start inspections the aid convoy from russia has been stuck with the russian ukrainian border for almost three days already one of the major reasons behind that has that here too many questions to moscow brigades in the congo itself and its route accusing morse code but it is trying to use the humanitarian corn boy as a pretext to send troops and weapons to support and t. key a farces in eastern ukraine we have to say though that for all of these time

the location where two hundred eighty trucks are currently parked was open to media and many journalists including our channel have visited the location this is my reports from there 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 saudi needed four months of n.d. terribly ration has the towns and ruins more than two thousand people dead and many without clean water to drink. water which you will get your ball. which. goes over to the other day. and we're going to wonder at what i was here to ask you don't usually get when i go on the job and you know i. don't have to go.

you know you have to show. your way to the west to see russia could be using it as a cover for military support to and to keep the fighters it's not just exactly where the convoluted headed but it was certainly be traveling three cranes will turn regions and the drivers say they are worried about their safety was going to do when you first but you have to practice religious bubble remember always sped up on your right but really cannot move for. a buck or charged you up if you. actually. are going to put your wallet your work with the chinese critical person which was the old news when you brought in your group new usually a move for the truck was a ship that would mushroom and you bring your own moving parts or butchers around the neck of the relief convoy is really today with the 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 caring to those wind desperate need for weeks locals have been sheltering in dark basements surviving on doing supplies here in newtown and these are some of the. well you know within the city will it's already packed and would seem to be deliberate. race nationality russian ukrainian border. meanwhile russia has dismissed as it nonsense reports that a military convoy has crossed from its territory into ukraine the rebuttal was in response to the crimean president who boasted that many of the vehicles had been destroyed the un u.s. and european o. s. c.e. who have their experts in the area say that they cannot confirm allegations russia

has said quite clearly that no military vehicles have gone across the border 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 u.k.'s guardian and the telegraph newspapers they posted on twitter that they had witnessed the encouraging which happened at night but as proof they posted pictures showing armored personnel carriers on a road at an undisclosed location during the day now 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 analysts and investigative journalists about what they had to say on the matter. but this invasion that happened the ukrainians the nato would have been desperate to get video of this of

photographs out on the internet on the t.v. saying 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 to that would be absolutely insane for a 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 suicidal of russia to to do that now the ukrainian army says it is in the last stages of its operation in the east of the country it claims that street fights are underway and done yet

scandal gun scans it pushes out and government forces now take a look at this this is what constant shelling has been doing it to these cities now we know that at least four civilians were killed in the latest attacks and the locals say that they don't know why they are being targeted. thank you just go but you don't know what. you're. doing for the next day son so you say you look for the student. but we're pushing we. are ready to go. meanwhile seventeen more ukrainian troops have crossed the border into russia fleeing fighting in the east it is the latest incident but far from the largest two weeks ago more than four hundred ukrainian soldiers illegally crossed the border

into russia seeking sanctuary here is how the two of those who just made it out of ukraine explained very decision. my unit was surrounded and the only way to save ourselves was to go into russia. we didn't. want to go home and just stay there i have a family i'm still young i don't want to die we will mobilize and they just sent us of course i'm grateful i'm glad that i'm still a lawyer if not i wouldn't be standing here in front of you. the e.u. is threatening more potential sanctions against russia blaming it for the violence in eastern ukraine however the unanimous support required is falling away slovakia's prime minister criticized them as a meaningless gesture that would threaten economic growth in each member states now the czech president also weighed in he claims that the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could lead to a spiral of worsening relations that will achieve nothing and that divide has

deepened even further after russia's retaliatory ban on western produce food leaving exporters facing billions in losses now 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 or may may face some losses and will be looking for alternatives as a set especially those countries and those exporters russian market who have been under scrutiny of appropriate russian situations have faced it and sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding new. however of course we're keen to maintain that trade value russian customer and i am sure that russian customer values would be important and i hope we'll come back to business as usual soon. and kiev has reiterated it does not know where

a missing russian photographer andre stanton is the interior ministry suggested anti-government forces could be the ones holding him now he disappeared in eastern ukraine around ten days ago and the ukrainian military has appeared conflicted on whether they have him or not at least first they denied it then an interior ministry spokesperson confirmed in an interview to a lot of in a radio station that they indeed held a standing captive on accusations of assisting terrorists but then backtracked blaming 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 andrew is now underway and there have been several flash mobs around the world in support. and the united states where a state of emergency and

a curfew have been declared for the town of ferguson that has been rocked by the rast the death of an unarmed teenager there caused public outrage and subsequent rallies a strong response from the authorities in a controversial incident has also reached the residence of the president of the united states dozens of people gathered in front of the white house to hold a silent protest against a recent wave of police brutality in the u.s. protesters also demanded the militarization of the police force as well as justice for the teen who was killed an associate reports from ferguson. in the suburbs of st louis missouri protesters are going to come out onto the streets calling for justice in the case killing eighteen year old michael brown. the name of the police officer be fined the killing has been released dan wilson is

twenty eight years old he is white and we do know that he has been kept in a safe police by the everything to being took place earlier we spoke with one of the attorneys michael brown's family and this is what he told about the information that's being released by the police. is a lot more we need to learn about him especially if. you know his actions after. those things are crucial to determining. what we spoke to some people about this latest information i'm kind of. like the information being released today you know with the name we kind of wanted information. you know we. got to this little initially i was afraid to come out here because when i saw our the militia you know the police out here showing this. since you threatening our weapons in this are presenting themselves in

a threatening manner i was afraid to come out here because when i sowed 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 a mostly of very heavily militarized police who were using tear gas and rubber bullets people don't understand why. held by the. by i. think really they are not on the dam. the protests in ferguson have led to some criminal activity taking the opportunity to loot local shops some people formed lines to protect those businesses now protesters claim that the police aggression against of 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 to advise protesters not to wash their eyes if they are hit with

tear gas and also urging them to try and keep calm and to avoid a running into the wind now tear gas canisters 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 we do know that an m. four rifle is also in the security forces arsenal it is used in various military conflicts police have also been reinforced by light armored vehicles which were in use in afghanistan and iraq also check this out and make a sniper rifle also used in combat was seen as a necessary tool to tackle the peaceful rallies law enforcement expert john whitehead believes that the police well they're 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 in 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 master's 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 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 law of city councils and politicians just let them go. as i've written in a number of instances i've seen. it was innocence get made get down that 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. with archer international still coming up in the program a hero hands back his medal the dutchman hailed it for saving a jewish child during world war two says that he is returning it in protest of israel's bombardment of gaza. and to find out what steps the u.k. says it is willing to take to help iraqi kurds in their fight against a geologist all of that after a short break this is our to the international. sweden or finland to bring deep to join nato would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia at least as far as far as a military calculus is. not what faces humanity the west north and south lawn of it

can 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. to kill each other. or. kill if we could with. the much. good you can sense to. choose to be grateful to. choose the stories that impact your life. to to speak.

and welcome back this is our t.v. international now a dutchman honored by israel for saving a jewish child during the second world war has returned his medal after six of his relatives were killed in gaza ninety one year old hank zottoli wrote a moving letter to the israeli ambassador he said keeping the honor israel granted to him would be an insult to his mother as well as to other family members who were affected by the attack in gaza those who survived the strike are now dealing with the shock of what happened. half an hour before our house was shelled two cars from gaza came to take us away coming to a new place i went to buy some food and when i came back my uncle told me my father was dead my younger brothers think our father went to heaven and my sisters were told he went to egypt for presents an article in this house was shelled on july twentieth by israeli air forces without any warning my six family members were

killed as a result my mother three brothers my brother's wife and a nephew and four story house was completely destroyed what's going on in gaza at the moment is an aggression of occupation forces against the people who live under occupation is seek justice and stand for the independence eighty percent of the victims is civilians with children and women among them no doubt what's going on is an aggression strikes on houses and schools without 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. of course we've got more stories for you on our website including when absolute power corrupts absolutely. but the governor and former presidential candidate rick perry is to be charged with taking advantage of his position find out what got him into hot water. and british

schools unveiled islamic new jobs are soon to be found on the shelves of a top u.k. retailer be sold as part of a school uniform and find out more about that on our team dot com as well. in iraq militants from the terror group known as the islamic state have reportedly slaughtered an entire kurdish village of around eighty people the jihadists are expanding the borders of their domain which is already made up of vast swathes of land on which they have proclaimed their. in caliphate and the village was inhabited by young people in a religious minority considered by these extremists to be devil worshipers thousands of them have already fled fearing the sweeping advance of the islamic state that it would reach their homes even foreign ministers have agreed to supply arms to the kurdish forces to help them fight the militants or to go 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 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 sink that you can arm a group or send craft and bomb and so on 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 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 now 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 the breakup 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 and we should be encouraging succession in the middle east since he has been sort of having everything it's quite risky independence would be complicated because you would create problems in turkey and syria and of course

iraq itself but to encourage them in this way is. potentially breaking iraq government sources in the british media and 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 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 car in the. middle east a journalist who has covered the region extensively believes that the e.u.

and us are not exactly interested in totally crushing the islamic state they are reacting not pretty active in preventing actually the civilians of being attacked by isis groups and these isis troops they are well known where they are where they move they could be attacked before hand that they are not doing this. leads to the conclusion from my side that these isis groups working in some way in coordination with western interests as far as syria is concerned that's where isis has grown over the last year or so and they did not do anything to stop isis in syria. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria but we still

should be doing everything we can to support the free syrian opposition who will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government and kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists. it's now take us one around the globe to look at some other stories making headlines this hour we start in africa where two u.n. peacekeepers have been killed and at least nine injured in a car bomb suicide attack in the north african country of mali the vehicle exploded near a united nations patrol base about sixty kilometers east of the northern city of timbuktu it is the third attack on u.n. staff in the last week no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. the fierce fighting has again erupted between it to rival militias in the libyan capital tripoli the two brigades made up of rebels who helped oust of former leader

moammar gadhafi are now battling for control of parts of the city the country's newly elected parliament has voted to dismantle the militias the u.n. special envoy to libya is expected in tripoli next week to help establish a ceasefire between the two armed factions. in islamabad of tens of thousands of anti-government protesters have gathered in support of opposition leaders prominent opposition figure him on that lead the crowd going to stay in the streets until the current prime minister nawaz sharif resigns a separate convoy was headed by a leading anti-government cleric who is calling for a so-called green revolution the protesters accuse the government of corruption as well as failing to combat growing militancy and deliver basic services. up next on our to international we meet people living with a rare genetic genetic condition making them look decades older than their real age

and if you're watching in. boom bust is digging into why europe doesn't seem to be breaking out of a deep recession stay with us you're watching an international. it was recently revealed that under the guise of an hiv prevention workshop and as tourists you know latin 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 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 just why does the us need to infiltrate cuba and by what right do you want 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.
