well till now i'd really rather not talk about that right. now. the headlines in our russian humanitarian convoy is finally on the move after being stalled for three days its cargo for civilians trapped in the east ukraine conflict is undergoing checks at the border. and rest escalates in the u.s. town of ferguson with police using tear gas military weapons on the power of arrest protests around on teen shot dead by an officer or a blast at all. and also kurdish fighters

attempt to push back from the islamic state and made claims all sides of the conflict are benefiting from american weapons which have flooded the region. just gone eight pm this sunday evening here in the russian capital you're itching to into the weekly stories from the past seven days and right up to the moment developments as well i mean i know neal welcome. the first batch of russian trucks carrying humanitarian aid has reached the border with ukraine it's been three days waiting as kiev expressed about the humanitarian nature of the cargo that went to see the contents for herself and these sixteen trucks from the russian humanitarian convoy are the first to reach the russian. ukrainian border they are now parked

here literally meters away from donetsk is right in a border checkpoint and you know 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 this route and really it's going to open it for us. military to see here's a truck is almost for. us it's about the last. reason we're simply carrying it. thought it wasn't going well book wait what it's in their bags are just in case anyone suspects it's guns and munition or something else like weapons of mass destruction. it is tells me that each bag is fifty kilograms and there are one hundred sixty bags here which means

a tool till. eight tons and this is he tells me the maximum or what these truck 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 trucks as the convoy is supposed to travel through regions in eastern ukraine where clashes are still continuing my for nationality russian here kryten border as the trucks wait idly on the border the situation of people in eastern ukraine becomes increasingly desperate let's listen to what the residents themselves are saying. well coached them yet but generally. i didn't buy into it that this.

false night out. i see just as many below grandstanding in the original to pull nice to meet you when you have yet to meet a steely years at indiana near the edge of the us even the good that gets a lot of us gets a good look at the new cuts so far and you'll see that at the state level but then being in the atmosphere. not just the below economical but snuffling propulsion the little money for t.v. season you think the commissioner is going to say that he's. going to need you which can i think you're going to follow for you pretty disease from this newsgroup and if it is good but if we don't model the ball goes you surely think it's going to be but usually. ukraine claims one of its fighter jets has been shot down by anti-government

fighters near lugansk local government fighters say they also managed to tick down to other attack jets although that has not been confirmed by kiev. incessant shelling by the ukrainian army is continuing local self-defense forces claim even ballistic missiles have been used against the city parts of a missile were found in one district that were 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. ok let's take a look at what they're capable of just in terms of warfare the missiles mox membranes is up to one hundred twenty kilometers an hour distance it's able to hit targets with an accuracy of one hundred meters there are various types of warheads

available for the system to chemical and nuclear and even with a conventional payload it's able to inflict significant destruction destroying an entire house with its honest former u.k. army officer charles hsu bridge told us the people of eastern ukraine face many of the dangers to. what if this video is genuine and it should be said that so far there's nothing to suggest that it isn't there and indeed it does show many of the characteristics one would associate with the use of white phosphorus or very similar incendiary in particular you've got. of large numbers of small pots of cause of very brightly. material that incendiary fact 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 a second round of talks to resolve the ukrainian crisis is set to begin any moment

in berlin after a two month hiatus the foreign ministers of germany france ukraine and russia are giving direct talks another try in berlin for us is peter oliver he joins me live here any hope they will achieve something this time around. well the foreign ministers from from france from russia from ukraine have been invited here by frank walter steinmeier the german foreign minister and i hope that they can try in how far out some kind of a framework for peace now we are expecting those talks to get underway very shortly and it perhaps in the next hour or so but speaking before these talks and it's the steinmeier said that it was incredibly important that discussion was used to try and bring about an end to the ongoing crisis in eastern ukraine he said that it was through diplomatic means only that it could be done that also that there was no clear solution at the moment but any solution must come through diplomatic measures

he did warn of the potential for escalation in the violence if it diplomatic solution couldn't be found and that's why he's invited the foreign ministers from france from from the ukraine from ukraine and from russia here to try and get talks underway to find a solution for a peaceful end to the troubles in eastern ukraine in germany first peter all over r t correspondent thank you for the update. meanwhile radicals from the ultra nationalist right sector group of threaten to unleash their full force on kiev the 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 the mounting the release of its members arrested by police on numerous occasions be interior minister hit back at the threats by calling the right sector on the legal armed group that is the spike the sectors radicals playing an active role during the winters violent protests that helped to overthrow the previous president and

bring the current government to power. now 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 kiev zaki which were picked up by 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 lack of any evidence whatsoever that with didn't prove an obstacle on social media or for several newspapers as well it all started when two british journalists posted on twitter about seeing a column of armored vehicles crossing the border at night to back their claims they posted pictures of an alleged military convoy in an identifiable location and

drawing the daytime the u.n. the u.s. and european observers who were in the area say they cannot confirm the allegations we asked a number of experts what they thought of it all if the ukrainians had achieved this fantastic military victory over russia again you might think that apart from just a statement on twitter on the presidential website 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 cold 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 it was russian complicated what's happened to well it's been destroyed he's a very complete explanation isn't it sorry been destroyed the beach is nothing but

it happened believe us. russia has handed over seventeen ukrainian soldiers who had crossed the border on saturday the troops arrived at the crossing on armed and asked russia for shelter from the ongoing hostilities earlier this month over four hundred ukrainian soldiers did the same they too were returned safely to ukraine. spain has become the latest country to join a global plea to release the missing russian photo journalist russia the u.n. and an international human rights groups are calling for his immediate release backed up by a wave of support on social media using the hash tag free drew. now here you can see some of his works again and it's a real journalist to cover the conflicts in ukraine syria and israel to name just some thirty three year old disappeared in eastern ukraine almost two weeks ago

since then kiev has both confirmed and denied having him he was working outside the net screw putting on kiev's crackdown an anti-government fighters when connection with him was lost. seven people have been arrested and one critically injured in the u.s. town of ferguson this clashes between protesters and police escalate a curfew imposed in the time feel to stop people again coming up to the man justice for an unarmed teenager shot by an officer a week ago m c a turban is a mystery 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. 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 to this country there's no reason it a young man should be writing code blue thousands have protested only. these rights by writing and looting has also broken out which most residents criticize but

tolerate no 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 probably were before we would be a tear gas and we got sort of quite a while where they were shooting 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 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 in 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 i'm sure with nine times. they teamed up here in ferguson has sparked broad motion but for locals it's just the most recent in just a state 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 junk is still not to be just but 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. fury over the killing of the on armed teenager spread to some ninety cities or. crossed us from washington to los angeles demonstrators 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 and protesters claim that the police aggression against ferguson demonstrators is eid of proportion just last night five armored vehicles were deployed images from one of the rally show an officer wearing some very serious come back here let's take a look his equipment includes

a military helmet tactical goggles as well his weapon of choice possibly a grenade or tear gas launcher with an advanced sight an honest hip as well tonight some experts believe civilians are being treated like enemies of 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 who are equipped as though they were occupying afghanistan or iraq a number of studies show that once you put all the gear as a policeman in your training you start asking like a military unit like you're in a patrol and unfortunately what happens is the psychology changes and at least when they're approaching one it's like you're moving you know. approaching eighteen

minutes into the hour more news coming up after a short break. if sweden or finland to bring deep to join nato that would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia if this is as far as a military calculus is concerned none of what faces humanity the west north and south lawn of it can be solved by military means or fighter aircraft or satellites or nuclear weapons military he's outdated it should go like cannibalism and slavery and child labor it doesn't belong to civilization to kill each other. 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. lead. their watching or to welcome back kurdish forces supported by us or strikes have reportedly been advancing on a strategic in iraq in a bid to us fighters of the islamic state terror group the vital facility supplies water on electricity to the north of the country the joint operation comes after the e.u. green lift the sending of weapons to the kurds sorties guy in a chicken house this report for us. 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 automatic an oil companies operating in the kurdish region in the north of iraq had some weight and it was one of the main considerations that the obama administration. took wide thinking about engaging militarily 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 move beyond slaughter 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 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 break up of iraq in washington i'm going to check out our team. in europe the islamic state group has launched a different kind of offensive a p.r. one shoppers and getting more than they bargained for this week as extremist supporters openly hunted out recruitment leaflets in the heart of the capital some westerners actually answered the call to arms like this young australian points are holding up a competent it had. this photo coming up depicts a british rap artist who also travel to syria and join the radical movement there unless that r.t.d. is spoken to explain where this movement comes from it's true that the united states has aided and abetted the. development of these. islamist groups through turkey through through jordan and in order to oppose.

syrian president assad but the reality the reality is that they basically overcame any opposition and took over what's basically existing in northern kurdistan is a u.s. protectorate. and that's the the region that's where the oil is under u.s. control basically the whole the get the name of the game from washington is to keep the oil money flowing in and isis is the seizure of the central part of iraq it's basically put iraq into three with the united states directly controlling the north . another of our big stories this week the european union is threatening more measures against russia saying the crisis in ukraine is being funded by moscow more than its origin countries around the world to respect europe's economic sanctions against russia where for inside europe itself unity appears to be fracturing or teeth you're pissing off as more. 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 whole sectors of its economy four 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 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 russia 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. big. 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 just will be the last to retaliate is very hard to predict right now statement by statement e.u. leaders are gradually turning against sanctions slovakia's prime minister criticized them as a quote meaningless gesture that would threaten economic growth in e.u. member states austria's i could culture minister confirmed that the industry has already lost six million dollars as a result for us this retaliatory food done while the czech leader claimed the

structures themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations cheve next to nothing on top of those the leaders of hungry in finland have also changed their tune motivated by the potentially huge losses the face western culture companies on farmers face billions of dollars in losses from russia's food sanctions and its european it's not stand to lose the mooks the e.u. is already brittle economy is now facing recession over the trade war with russia and experts say brussels is desperate to avoid the escalating into another crisis on the way ever wondered what it's like to work for a t.v. channel well it's your chance to look behind the scenes of r.t. in the latest episode of news team coming your way right now. these aren't just soldiers this bet's no soldier russia's internal special forces

but being tough and good with a gun may not be enough of these extreme tests. only the most capable will be to the end. but. those whose dreams can melt away exhaustion all ranks put themselves through fire smoke and water but not for money promotion. is the coveted crimson berowne. magennis but see jennifer vulgarized darwin science and punishment for an uncommitted crying i was sterilized to learn from in eighty feebleminded still today for the few i don't know why his bloody fires are still the i don't know why genetic improvement through forced sterilization the basis for nazi ideology don't stop at just sterilizing look and now go to the point of death. for years rarely discussed.

till now i'd really rather not talk about that right. her. mother right down the street. first trip to the lips and i were being put. on a reformist twitter. and instagram. to be among. the mob. today and made signs of montoya far worse as secret pastry. red square demonstrations are feaster aimed at the arcade setting up what if scenarios you see the game and still. are in some sort of.

this is our international with the twenty four hours a day live from our studio center here in moscow which just turned eight pm and six pm in kiev where the rest has reignited in the city just a day after the government amnesty for protesters came into force. the trial to circle the police line around. doing a. rather bizarre thing for central iraq. the flights to get out of the system to get where we need to get the missing the start right now actually expected to be here at least two weeks or even a month later than they are now.
