a russian humanitarian convoy is finally on the move after being stalled for three days it's called over civilians trapped in the eastern ukraine conflict zone is undergoing tests at the border. unrest escalates in the u.s. town of ferguson where the police using tear gas military weapons and the all the rest protests over an unarmed teen shot dead by an officer have lost almost a week. and kurdish fighters a time to push back as law makes a jihad is to make claims all sides of the conflict are benefiting from american

weapons which have flooded the region. there's large easily the weekly you're with me to bang would say we're live from moscow thank you for being with us. the first batch of a russian trucks carrying humanitarian aid has reached the border with ukraine after three days of stranded on the russian side we're going to go is on the border following its journey she joins us live. this means does this mean that the trucks i'll finally be crossing into ukraine you mean at the border looking through this. well that's right i'm actually at the border right now the checkpoints are which the convoy is supposed to passes right behind me but at this point the sixteen trucks that we're talking about the first batch they're still firmly

planted right here on the russian side of the border there are still awaiting the go ahead from the international red cross and from various other authorities to actually wave down the flag and allow them to go into ukraine now they have undergone inspection on the russian side of this comes after numerous obstacles put up by a cave officials who were very doubtful about the peaceful nature of the humanitarian aid on board the trucks so that prompted the basement area mission to actually open up some of the vehicles so that people themselves could see including the western journalists who were also following the movement of the trucks so they they could see that indeed inside those trucks there is nothing but humanitarian aid for the people in saudi in southeastern ukraine who really desperately needed. we carry food water medical supplies baby food everything civilians need now we're waiting for an order as soon as we get it we will move on i'm not a military man i'm a driver. now there we're talking about

a batch of just sixteen trucks who are going to cross the border soon as they have the go ahead from the ukrainian side once that happens the batch of next sixteen is also going to come in all in all there's two hundred eighty years old so we're going to take some time type of military mission to actually cross over border and make their way into the brain now of course there were some preconditions put forth by. the international red cross for saying that they are they demanded full safety for the convoy and they wanted peace at least some sort of ceasefire implemented by all of the sides of the conflict in southeastern ukraine considering the fact that we're still hearing sounds of mortar attacks even throughout the night and today. i can actually see some of the smoke rising from where i'm standing on the ukrainian side doesn't seem like those preconditions are actually being made however the trucks are still going to go ahead because the people in southeastern ukraine are in desperate need for them. basically surviving in a situation very close to humanitarian catastrophe as artie's marie if an arsenal

reports. but in today's alone in her dark apartment in the gonski packing they has been no electricity in most of the city for almost two weeks now and the shelling continues. but indian has already sent her daughter and her granddaughter to family friends in russia they didn't see each other for a month we'll meet her when she's getting ready to follow them kompany her all the way to the border. and when and in the us. but in tina's husband was due to come back from a trip to the country house this morning but he's still not back the phones are

down and she has no way of knowing what's delayed him. between daily bombings she can't help but be worried when one of the says any of the. the i'm going to have it all moved with or new hope or hope i hope. even her girls when to closed and finishes packing she leaves her home with six bags and a very heavy heart. zenaida from the guns krege and has cancer her home was shelled twice but she tries to remain body and but even her optimism was not enough to do with what she saw that day that convinced her she can stay in lugansk bush. i was at a bus stop and then i decided to leave for some reason i soon as i left the bus stop a shell exploded right behind me five people died one man had his head blown off and a woman lost her leg took me three days to get over it she says making the decision

to leave was not an easy one but it was a very quick one. it's not about the fear of death but more of outright panic why is always going on but why is this for their peaceful people here zenaida leaves and just like many others hopes to come back but she fears that she would never be able to do so. while we talked as he needed vetting tina reunites with her husband and great public transportation is sporadic at best and he missed his bus with no way to call home it's less than sixty kilometers from lugansk to the border but these journey might seem endless to those forced to flee. already in russia it's a mixture of pain and despair and who is these people turning to their lives so nader valentino and her husband will spend some time in this refugee camp at the

russian ukrainian border until they manage to get to their final destinations joining thousands of others who fled eastern ukraine living their lives and homes behind them they do not know what tomorrow holds in store but at least they say their war his now behind them. in ukraine and russia. ukraine claims one of its fighter jets has been shot down by anti government fighters near guns while local self-defense forces claim the army has hit the city with ballistic missiles part of miso was found in one of the districts similar to those previously used in donetsk it suggests that the military is using soviet era weapons that were left in ukraine after the union collapsed. now let's take a look at what they are capable of in terms of warfare that the missiles maximum range is up to one hundred twenty kilometers and that distance is able to hit targets with an accuracy of one hundred meters the rascal's various types of

warheads available for the systems including chemical as well as nuclear that even with a conventional payload is able to inflict significant destruction destroying an entire house with ease meanwhile radicals from the ultra nationalist right sector group have threatened to unleash their full force on care of the statement was published on the group's website it says unless president poroshenko meets the demand within the next forty eight hours they will withdraw their forces fighting in the east and march to kiev in full battle gear the group is demanding the release of its members arrested by police on numerous occasions interior minister hit back at the threats by calling the right sector an illegal armed group that's despite the sectors radicals are playing an active role during the winters violent protests that helped overthrow the previous president and bring the current government to power.

there's still no substantial evidence that a column of russian apc's penetrated into ukraine it's true and i quote a hole in the border fence before being tracked and destroyed by ukrainian at tillery that moscow was further in is response to kids accusations which were picked up in the western media very exists no russian military convoy that crossed the russian ukrainian border are either at night or during the day let's hope the ukrainian army only destroyed a friend and not refugees or their own soldiers. lack of any evidence whatsoever did improve an obstacle on social media for several newspapers it all started when two british journalists posted on twitter about being seeing a column of armored vehicles crossing the border at night to back their claims they pose the daytime pictures of an alleged military convoy in an unidentifiable

location a un u.s. and european observers who are in the area say they cannot confirm the allegations but if the story had been true political analyst chris bambery says it would have expected much more noise if the ukrainians had achieved this fantastic military victory over russia again you might think that apart from just a statement on twitter or on the presidential website again they'd want to be showing the world the proof of this fantastic triumph over the russian enemy you know go out slaughtering david with one have film of these a bomber personnel carriers in the times as i say i think the biggest proportion as you would not send just a lightly armed force like this into a war zone it would be suicidal spain has become the latest country to join a global plea to release a missing russian for two journalist that is three year old andrei standing disappeared in eastern ukraine almost two weeks ago and since then kiev has both

confirmed and denied having him russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are calling for his immediate release backed up by a wave of support and social media using the hash tag free and here you can see some of his a work stand in is a renowned journalist seuss covered the conflicts in ukraine israel as well as in syria he was working outside the nearest reporting on kids crackdown on anti-government fighters when he disappeared. seven people have been arrested and one critically injured in the us town of ferguson as clashes are between protesters and police escalate a curfew imposed in the town failed to stop people again coming out to demand justice for an unarmed teenager shot by an officer

a week ago an associate is in ferguson for us. for about twenty minutes that curfew lasted in peace when nobody was outside despite the heavy heavily militarized police force out on the streets but about twenty minutes into the curfew several dozen up people did run out onto the streets and this was followed by shots fired by police initially it was reported that these were tear gas cannons being fired however police themselves have said that what they have been firing have been smoke and not tear gas this is of course yet to be really officially confirmed because according to some social media reports in fact tear gas was used it has to be said that for several nights in a row police did in fact fire tear gas night after night hundreds if not thousands of people had been coming out onto the streets for more details on what exactly unraveled throughout this entire week and let's now go to our report from ferguson . thank you

a community filled with rage sorrow and grief is demanding justice ferguson missouri is a small town with twenty thousand residents. many of them took to the streets after a black on a teenager was shot dead by a police officer. it's a loss that's shaken the community to its core there is no reason in the young mission to be right. thousands have protested only. these rights by writing and looting has also broken out which most residents criticize but tolerate you know by saddam hussein is the right thing to do but at same time there was a for that would have made headline news the police have hit back and hard. the militarized police force has resorted to firing rubber bullets and other heavy handed tactics to quell the unrest very narrow we were before we were bitter gas then we got sort of quite a while where they were shooting them into the complex and we were in the street so

why you shouldn't and so the car. the excessive use of force by police has riled up protesters even more and triggered strong criticism it defies everything. my fellow marines and i fought for when we were defending the constitution in iraq and afghanistan the forceful response was followed by curbs put on civilian freedoms go the other way a flight ban over ferguson was imposed by the federal aviation administration on tuesday that was followed by a state of emergency and curfew on saturday as officials struggle to figure out how to handle the situation the identity of the officer responsible for the killing why twenty eight year old darren wilson was kept under wraps for almost a week it was made public along with footage that allegedly shows michael brown robbing a store on the day of his death the local community reacted with anger they released a name this video. michael brown at the same time to kind of deflect the fact that he was murdered but this kind of what it feels like they were trying to

do the video justify them shooting nine times. with teamed up here in ferguson has sparked broad motion but for locals it's just the most recent injustice they've suffered they say the african-american community has been targeted by the police force for years if not decades and not just here but all across the country understand and recognize that we're dealing with apartheid in america it's not just what happened to mike brown it's happening to all of our children it's a systematic racism still allowed and destroying us and while these people hope for a fair punishment for the officer behind brown's death real social change is what they want in the long run it's good to get a quick work just a star let me tell what that looks like a distant goal as people here work out how to come to terms with their anger and their grief is the situation our party ferguson missouri. theory of the killing of

the imam teenagers spread to some ninety two cities across the. the us from washington to los angeles demonstrations all over the country demanded the police be held accountable for their actions new york was shaken by one of the largest rallies with several protesters arrested now purchase is claiming the police aggression against ferguson demonstrators is out of proportion just last night five armored vehicles were deployed images from one of those rallies show an officer wearing some very serious now here's a quick mini includes a military helmet and tactical goggles he was a weapon of choice possibly a grenade or tear gas launcher with an advance side and on his size two knives there's been a whole series of incidents involving police brutality as well as seventeen year old trayvon martin who was shot dead by a neighborhood watch volunteer in two thousand and twelve and just this year in july an asthmatic man died after an officer put him in

a choke hold even though the victim repeatedly said he couldn't breathe this month mentally ill man was gunned down by police after being stopped and one of the most distressing incidents took place in georgia in may when this baby was severely injured by a stun grenade in a police raid on the wrong house some experts believe civilians are being treated like enemies at war. you know this is a situation that repeats itself in that all sorts of african-american communities across the united states that are policed as though they were occupied territory by highly militarized i would say u.s. troops but local police who are equipped as though they were occupying afghanistan or iraq a number of studies show that what you put on learned here is the police when you're training you start actually like a military unit like you're in a patrol and unfortunately what happens is the psychology changes in

a lot of these local usually when they're approaching us lucky break it's like they're moving in on. my news off the break don't go away. sweden or fed run to bring deep to join nato that would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia if they see this far as a military calculus is concerned not what faces humanity the west north and south none of it can be solved by military means or if i don't have crafts 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.

choose your language. we can we know if you're going to want to stay still for the most exotic place or stick to the good the consensus can. choose to tell us that you think a great tool. to use to stories could impact your life choose to to access. and same with us kurdish forces supported by u.s. air strikes have reportedly been advancing on a strategic dam in iraq in a bid to as fighters of the islamic state terror group the bustle facilities apprise water and electricity to the north of the country another joint operation comes after the e.u.'s green led the sending of weapons to the ca's artie's gannett

she can has this report. the militants of the islamic state have been seizing control of vast swathes of iraq for months now but when they approached its kurdish region the u.s. took action this is a humanitarian issue of great consequence for all the militants threat not just the people of the kurdish region but also its oil production since the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three iraq's kurdistan has seen a boom in energy production us energy giants exxon mobil and chevron are among the many oil and gas firms large and small now drilling there seems that the fact that there are american oil companies operating in the kurdish region in the north of iraq had some weight and it was one of the main considerations obama administration. took wide thinking about engaging militarily in

iraq this month the same my autonomy as region has shown to be friendly to us and to us business but the oil rich kurdistan has long sought to break away from iraq it is now moved to sell crude independently from badat arguing that the central government doesn't give the region its fair share of oil revenue and move the onslaught of the islamic state in the political turmoil in baghdad many kurds see an opportunity to finally carve out a homeland by exclusively supporting the. kurdish region washington may fuel their cause but the kurdish region is functional the way we would like to see it and it is tolerant of other sex and other religion in a way that you would like to see elsewhere so we do think that it's important to make sure that that space is protected the obama administration likes the way kurdistan functions but doesn't like the way iraq as a whole functions the obama administration denies that it gave up on the central

government in baghdad moving to directly protect u.s. interests with humanitarian situation so dire and the threat posed by the islamic state so imminent america's increased involvement may not have much opposition now even if the eventual outcome will be the breakup of iraq in washington i'm going to check on our team. the european union is threatening more measures against russia saying the crisis in ukraine is being fanned by moscow while them that is urging countries around the world to respect to europe's economic sanctions against russia however inside europe the unity appears to be fracturing are just going off reports . for the past few months we've definitely been witnessing a rising tensions between russia and the west but what's happening now is already being described by many as a full blown trade war first in late july the e.u. slapped russia i would say start getting a whole sectors of its economy for major banks were hit and one airline was completely grounded but then russia announced counter measures banning the import

of billions of euros worth of fruit vegetables meat dairy and other products european producers are the worst hit and brussels has to compensate the losses the problem is the size of its emergency fund is around four hundred million euros while the estimated damage may reach five billion when you know we are going to lose one point three million euros but we're relatively small business imagine the other big firms such as like to lease which send several trucks a week or so those is going to. it will take two or three months to collect our remaining crop and we don't know what will happen if no one buys it. now we're in a bad economic situation more than two hundred families have been destroyed we will have damage in excess of eight hundred fifty thousand your rules if nothing is changed we are in a desperate situation and next to russia starts negotiations with latin america specifically ecuador brazil chile and argentina to meet the new eight percent

shortfall in imports according to the financial times the e.u. may start trying to talk some of these states out of upping trade with russia perhaps promising to open its market to their products but here is the ecuadorian embassador to russia's thoughts on this i think the current situation creates great opportunities for ecuador but it would have been unwise to pass up such a chance to diversify and expand the trading capabilities especially having received an offer to become a privilege partner with russia. some business analysts in the west have now started wondering how wise was it to start playing this game of tit for tat sanctions this. sanctions will they really work and we don't think they will and we've all been working in the russian market probably now for the last twenty years and times have always been difficult to do russian business in russia but i don't think the sanctions will really help and we just wanted to sort of voice could well be job losses coming along with j.c.

being. reported that he potentially could lose. as a result of the sanctions and as a result of that would lose jobs over here watching this economic battle swing back and forth like a pendulum one is reminded of new can stream us law every action has an equal and opposite reaction is very hard to predict right now. a statement by statement e.u. leaders gradually turning against sanctions slovakia's prime minister criticized them as a meaningless gesture that would threaten economic growth in the e.u. member state. culture minister confirmed that the industry has already lost six million dollars as a result of russia's tell you true food ban while the czech leader claimed the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations that she nothing

on top of the. leaders of hungary and finland have also changed their tune motivated by the potentially huge losses they now face west some argue a culture companies and farmers a phase billions of dollars in losses from russia's food sanctions and it's europeans that stand to lose the most they ease already brittle economy is now facing recession over the trade war with russia experts say brussels is desperate to avoid descending into another crisis earlier we spoke to the eason bassa to russia who said he hopes for a 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 faced certain sanctions and barriers they

have successfully overcome by finding new munitions however of course we came to maintain the trade we value russian customers and i'm sure the russian customer values european product and i hope we'll come back to business as usual soon despite tensions with the west and russia must not isolate itself relations with partners that was the message from president putin during a visit to crimea where he met local officials and members of the public in a speech there he outlined his vision for the future of russia's foreign policy he said moscow has a right to pull out of international treaties a good must even if that goes against its interests but he made putin also called on russian society to unite although not for the sake of conflict. all the way i wonder what's it like to work for a t.v.

channel well it's your chance to look behind the scenes of r.t. and the latest episode of news. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right back story. same time there's a reason they don't want you to know. now let's break the set. the media leave us so we leave the people. push the security. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politics. to get right to see. the first trip. and i
