now let's break the set. a russian humanitarian convoy is finally on that after being stalled for three days it's the civilians trapped in the east conflict zone is undergoing checks at the border. in the u.s. town of ferguson with police using tear gas military weapons and the power of arrests protests. by an officer i have lasted almost a week. and a kurdish fighters attempt to push back islamic state amid claims all sides of the conflict are benefiting from american weapons which have flooded the region.

for moscow this is the weekly with me would say thank you for being with us. the first batch of russian trucks are carrying humanitarian aid has reached the border with ukraine it spent three days waiting as kiev expressed doubt about the humanitarian nature of the call or if and when to see the contents. these sixteen tracks from the russian humanitarian convoy other first to reach the russian ukrainian border they are now parked here literally meters away from donetsk is right in a border checkpoint earlier today the cargo these trucks are carrying has only been inspected by the representatives of the international red cross and now we're going to do the same i'm going to pick up the truck and leslie is going to open it for us

. military to see here's a truck is almost. it's about. resume we're simply carrying it. wasn't bomb or book wait. it's buckwheat and the bags are just in case anyone suspects it's guns or munitions or something else like weapons of mass destruction. denise tells me that each bag is fifty kilograms and there are one hundred sixty bags here which means a tool to old. eight tons and this is he tells me the maximum of what they struck can carry where these trucks are now ready to cross the border to

deliver its humanitarian cargo to those in eastern ukraine who are in desperate need the driver as we have been able to speak to here told me that there will be two more inspections at the checkpoint from the russian and from the ukrainian side and after that security will be the major challenge for these tracks as the convoy is supposed to travel through regions in eastern ukraine where clashes are still continuing. right now r.t. russian here kryten border. ukraine claims one of its fighter jets has been shot down by anti government fighters near lugansk and local anti-government fighters say they also managed to take to attack jets although that hadn't been confirmed yet by kiev. and incessant the shelling by the ukrainian army continues local self-defense forces claim even ballistic missiles have been used against the city.

parts of a missile was found in one district that was similar to those previously use in the nets suggested the military is using soviet era weapons that were left in ukraine after the union collapse right let's take a look at what they're capable of in terms of warfare the missiles maximum range is up to one hundred twenty kilometers and at that distance it's able to hit targets with an accuracy of one hundred meters now there are various types of warheads available for the system including chemical and nuclear even with a conventional payload it's able to inflict significant destruction destroying an entire house with ease and as former u.k. army officer charles troubridge told us the people of eastern ukraine face many more dangerous. well if this video is genuine and it should be said so far there's nothing to suggest that it isn't then indeed it does show many of the

characteristics one would associate with the use of white phosphorus or very similar. in particular you've got bursts of large numbers of small particles of very brightly burning material that in center effect is particularly severe against buildings and particularly against people. if indeed that's what's happening and being used because white phosphorus is a potent incendiary it burns through to the bone and can't be put out with water made already calls from the ultra nationalist right sector group have threatened to unleash the full force on kiev statement was published on the group's website it says unless president poroshenko meets their demands 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 the interior minister hit back at the threats by

calling the right sector an illegal armed group despite the sector's radicals playing an active role during the winters violent protests that helped to overthrow the previous president and bring the current government to power. there's still no compelling evidence that a column of russian a.p.c.'s penetrated into ukraine through and i quote a hole in the border fence before being tracked and destroyed by ukrainian artillery moscow was firm in its response to kids accusations which were picked up in the western media 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. like of any evidence whatsoever they did improve an obstacle on social media of several newspapers it all started when two british journalists posted on twitter about seeing

a column of armed vehicles crossing the border at night not the bank of the claims they post the daytime pictures of an alleged military convoy in an identifiable location a un u.s. and european observers who are in the area say they cannot confirm the allegations we asked a number of experts what they thought of the whole situation 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 web so again they'd want to be showing the world the proof of this fantastic triumph over the russian enemy. so much effort is being made in the western media to demonize russia and they're using the same imagery i used during the cold war throughout the cold war in the western media the soviet union was often represented with with with tanks you know again called macallan pieces of machinery trying to protect you know as if the

soviet union was a country with people in it but it's all very convenient isn't it to say look russian convoy came in what's happened to a well it's been destroyed the this is a very convenient explanation isn't it sorry been destroyed where. but it happened the leaders. spain has become the latest country to join a global plea to release a missing russian photojournalist thirty three year old under a stone and 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 hashtag free entry now here you can see some of the pictures of his work so annan is a renowned journalist who's covered conflicts from ukraine syria as well as israel he was working outside a near school reporting on kids crackdown on anti-government fighters when he disappeared.

seven people have been arrested and one critically injured in the u.s. town of ferguson clashes between protesters and police escalate a curfew imposed in the town for all 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 on ravel throughout this entire week of let's now go to our report from ferguson. thanks to 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 teenager was shot dead by a police officer. it's a loss that's shaken the community to its core pictish there's no reason in the young mission to be right. thousands have protested only. the right guy writing and looting has also broken out which most residents criticize but tolerate by saddam hussein is the right thing to do but at same time there was

a for that would it 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 probably were a bit more we were being tear gas they got sort of points away where they were shooting into the complex and we were in the street so why you shouldn't and so the car. appliques says key is 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 struggled to figure out how to handle the situation the identity of the officer responsible for the killing

a white 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 justified in shooting nine times. with teen deaths 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 this is 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 got a good work jen 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 this it you're going to party ferguson missouri. theory over the killing of the on mom's teenager spread to some ninety cities. cross 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 where several protesters arrested that purchasers claim the police aggression against ferguson demonstrations is out of proportion just last night five armored vehicles were deployed images from one of the relish so i also saw wearing some very serious combat get here's a quick men includes a military helmet and tactical goggles as weapon of choice possibly

a grenade launcher with an advanced side and on his side two knives some experts believe civilians are being treated like enemies at war. you know this is a situation that repeats itself in 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. as though they were occupying afghanistan or iraq a number of studies show that what you hear is the police when you're training you store actually like a military unit like you're a patrol unfortunately what happens is the psychology changes and we see in their approaches. it's like you're moving you. stay tuned more news off of the shelf break.

there was very interesting because with dropped out of the sky all of the wood rohrbach up that were shipped across a few degrees. of the circle and about the speed but you know just astronomical speeds. i think. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria we still should be doing everything we can to support the free syrian opposition we

will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government and kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists. welcome back kurdish forces supported by us is strikes have reportedly been advancing on us or cheated death in iraq in a bid to. stay terror group the vital facility supplies water and electricity to the north of the country the joint operation comes up to the e.u. greenlit the sending of weapons to the kurds artie's gonna change a camp has this report. 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 world 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 it ought 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 wives thinking about the engagement of turkey in iraq this month the semi autonomy as region has shown to be friendly to the u.s. and to u.s. business but the oil rich kurdistan has long sought to break away from iraq it has now moved to sell crude independently from bogged down arguing that the central

government doesn't give the region its fair share of oil revenue and leave 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 that the kurdish region is functional the way we would like to see it and it is tolerant of other sects and other religion in a way that we 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 part. 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. american weapons have flooded the region almost every side of the conflict intruding the kurds have in one way or another been armed by washington the u.s. has been openly sending lethal aid to syrian anti-government fighters some of them through the defected from more moderate factions to the islamic state taking weapons from them and almost nine billion dollars worth of arms were sent to iraq some of them again captured by the extremists as the country's army fled in an exclusive interview to r.t. follow us congressman and presidential candidate ron paul spoke about the prospects for america's latest moves in iraq he told us the u.s. risks sinking deeper into conflict and that's it leaves the iraqis to deal with the islamic state on there. i'm surprised that they haven't retaliate a little bit better but one of the reasons why they haven't done very well is there i says ended up getting

a lot of weapons from us and if they captured weapons they've got a mother syria and i'm sure there are some. well armed so we haven't done the kurds any favor whatsoever i think the policy that we should follow is one designed to allow the iraqis to solve all their problems and stay out of this let them deal with it because we've tried for a long time we've lost a lot of large spend a lot of money and we allowed our mess to develop and it's nothing but a mess and chaos there and in a way were partially responsible for the. the european union is threatening more measures against russia saying the crisis in ukraine is being fanned by moscow more than that it's urgent countries around the world to respect to europe's economic sanctions against russia however inside europe the unity appears to be fracturing. reports now. 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 that it's 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 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 our trading capabilities especially having received an offer to become a privileged 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 the. 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. orders 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 newton's famous law every action has an equal and opposite reaction which would be the last to retaliate is very hard to predict right now statement by statement e.u. leaders are gradually turning against sanctions so much as prime minister criticize them as a quote meaningless gesture that was threaten economic growth in e.u. member state austria's agriculture minister confirmed that the industry has already lost six million dollars as

a result of russia's retaliatory food ban while the czech leader claimed there is structures themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations relations that achieve nothing. in tel aviv thousands of people turned out to call for a peaceful solution to the israel gaza conflict they carried banners urging and today israeli occupation of gaza and hunted slogans like jews and arabs refused to be enemies the size are due to resume egyptian mediators talks to put an end to a month long war between israel and hamas negotiators gathered in cairo as the end of a five day ceasefire israel wants guarantees that rockets from gaza will stop while hamas is seeking to have the blockade lifted as our affair report is but the cease fire attention remains. since the latest israel gaza conflict began

there's been a spike in racial violence and tension between jews and arabs throughout both your keep high territories and israel itself beyond me install that system of checkpoints here in two thousand and six now thousands of palestinians who live in the west bank but work inside israel must queue from dawn to reach their workplaces for business hours pam are actually true to us since the war began has changed completely they have become more aggressive even now when we try to find transport to get to work there's discrimination in new york keep in mind west bank civilians continue to suffer from what they say are random attacks by settlers in one recent incident an eight year old girl was hit by a car palestinians labeled it a settler terror incident. the war began were really fueled the circulars one leaves the fear in his heart the situation's not like before and some israelis say they too now live in

a climate of fear i am in the wife. and i when i walk back i'm really religious so i can't drive my myself. in arabic drive to take. from my home and i'm scared yeah i'm scared i'm scared to a drive to them because there was a case that they murder a girl the goal to have well and to kill her i'm leaving you. didn't feel any suspicion but it's politics this is the symbol. that on the phone here at the but hamas i did choose. to vote they voted for him for the from us and know though we'd be was to get the bomb on them. needless to say the palestinian people see the current situation from a very different perspective as palestinians we cannot accept living in occupation we cannot accept to be violated on daily bases and say we are fine with it but this

to me as do not take people because of what they are or are they hate people because they are jews simply but east indians do not accept your patient and its policy. azzi jerusalem. up next stay tuned for the silent epidemic here on our team to national i'll see you tomorrow. to try to score. a point to thank you for.
