going to do the same i'm going to pick up this rock and really it's going to open it for us. military to see here. because about the last. reason we're simply carrying it. wasn't bomb. book wheat. it's in the bags as a just in case anyone suspects it's guns or 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 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 trucks as the convoy is supposed to travel through regions in eastern ukraine where clashes are still continuing. resolution r.t. russian here kryten border and 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. looks to them yet but general. i didn't buy into it that the gate to the pulse not as soon as it just has been below grandstanding you're not going to pull nice to meet you when you have yet to meet a steely here's a video of

a near the edge of the us open the. details of both of us going to say that the phone you've got so far and you'll start over to the state i know it's been built in the atmosphere. not just the ball on the economy but it's nothing for the world. but you just read anything of that nature municipal history did he jump down to it we do it can i think you know full well for you preachy this is from this newsgroup and if it is good but it was wrong the mark of the moment was usually because the most beautiful 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 take down to other attack jets although that has not been confirmed by kiev.

incest and shelling by the ukrainian army is continuing local self-defense forces claim even a list of missiles have been used against the city parts of a missile were find in one district that were similar to those previously used in donetsk it suggested the military is using soviet era weapons that were left in ukraine after the union collapsed. and let's take a look at what they're capable of just in terms of war for the missiles mocks memory injuries 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 times 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 a former u.k. army officer charles shu bridge told us the people of eastern ukraine face many

other dangers too. well if this video is genuine and. there's nothing to suggest that it isn't that 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. large numbers of small pots of codes of very brightly. material that in 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. can't be put out with water a second round of talks to resolve the ukrainian crisis is set to begin any moment now in berlin after two months hiatus the foreign ministers of germany france ukraine and russia are giving direct talks another try in berlin for us is peter

over following the meeting. or four party talks are underway here at the villa just outside of the center of the german capital now these talks were put in place by the german foreign minister frank well to shine my he invited the foreign ministers of russia ukraine and friends to take part in these talks to try and hammer out some kind of a framework for peace in the east of ukraine the conflict that continues there speaking before the talks got underway mr steinmeier said that there was no clear solution to the problems in the region however he said that any solution it came about only come about through diplomatic talks and that's why he's invited these foreign ministers here to try and come to some kind of of unilateral solution to try and push forward to find peace in eastern ukraine he also warned though that if diplomatic solutions couldn't be found then we could risk seeing an escalation in violence in the region so be keeping an eye on these talks as they continue here

just outside of central story ministers of germany france russia and ukraine trying to find a solution to the ongoing crisis in ukraine. 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 is firm in its response to kiev's accusations 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 phantom and not refugees or their own soldiers. lack of any evidence whatsoever that we didn't prove an obstacle on social media or for several newspapers it all started when two british journalists posted on twitter about seeing a column of armored vehicles crossing the border at night time to back up their claims they posted pictures of an alleged military convoy in an identifiable

location and during the daytime the un u.s. and european observers who were in the area say they cannot confirm the allegations we also 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 or on the presidential website again they'd want to be showing the world the proof of the times they triumphed 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 the this is a very complete explanation isn't it sorry been destroyed. but it happened believe

us spain has become the latest country to join a global plea for a missing russian photojournalist the un an international human rights groups are calling for his immediate release by a wave of support on social media using the time to free entry. now here you can see some of his work scanned in is a renowned journalist who's covered the conflict in ukraine syria and israel thirty three year old understand and disappeared in eastern ukraine almost two weeks ago and since then kiev has both confirmed and denied having him he was working outside finance reporting in kiev is crackdown on government fighters were in connection with him was last. moving on seven people have been arrested on one critically injured in the us time of ferguson us clashes between

protesters and police escalates a curfew imposed in the field to stop people again coming out to demand justice for an unarmed teenager shot by an officer a week earlier to see a turk and is in misery 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 . 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 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 before we were bitter gas and it got to the point a while where they were shooting into the complex and we were in the street so why you shouldn't and so the car. plexus 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 freedom still 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 justify them shooting nine times. they teamed up here in ferguson has sparked broad motion but for locals it's just the most recent injustice they 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 our lives 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 time to quit work just a star let me tell you 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. any 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 as they see as far as the military calculus is concerned none of what faces humanity east the west north and south lawn of it can't be solved by military means or fighter aircraft 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.

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 to the program kurdish forces supported by us are strikes have reportedly been advancing on a strategic dam in iraq in a bid to us fighters of the islam target the vital facility supplies water on electricity to the north of the country on the joint operation comes after the e.u. greenlit the sending of weapons to the kurds ortiz guy nature has this report.

that 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 really. issue of great consequence for all the militants threat not just the people of the kurdish region but also its oil production since the us 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 there are american oil companies operating in the kurdish region in the north of iraq had some weight. it was one of the main considerations obama administration. took so why it's thinking about the engagement of turkey in iraq this month the

same ayatollah miss region has shown to be friendly with us into 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 badat 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 sects 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 out our team. meanwhile british prime minister david cameron has promised to clamp down on pro islam and state activists in the u.k. who have been recruiting westerners to join that you had a fight let's discuss this with some ramadani on iraq on the list thanks for joining us this hour we know there's been a steady flow of europeans to syria in your opinion what are the chances they will bring violence bach to the. it's always a possibility but this is something. the british government should have thought about. when it started funding. the various groups in syria what undermined they could heat up syrian society. comment in his

article because i was fat i was saying about ice a little and i heat from his problem his article today was the ancient city of coal really within science and both sofas designed on joy. and right up to the border if it succeeded we would be facing terrorist states on the shores of the military and i'm bored during a nato member so you've gone see i mean people have been more in new york. groups for better in syria want to hear out. funneling alms western countries by funds from qatar saudi arabia have funding go based groups through the turkish border. and just this is united states themselves i just want to put in there and speak about islamic state who is responsible for their rallies. i think you have to go back to the invasion and occupation of iraq in two

thousand and three because neither scenario or iraq had any terrorist organizations before that date and within a year of that occupation the doors were flung open iraqi doors for tenet to start going to his mission centers. and gradually from two thousand five six the united states and some of the go for rulers started the even funding some of these extremist organizations and once the syria crisis started. in two thousand and eleven open to the united states britain since we're talking oh i britain started funding on all these these groups so really the i mean you could you could even go back to the vest on when bin ladin's out colorado was trained on funded by the cia to five celsius forces there and there's been

a lot of them forces became so strong stuff is threatening western interests so these terrorist organizations were created used and abused by the by the wisdom factors including including britain so they can make it around today was that those same organizations two who read him vaguely then here maybe even if they occupied they have the design of i know my opinion to create a massive military base in kurdistan in iraqi kurdistan such a development would threaten iran in future or threaten obviously any government in baghdad that might wish to have policies different from those from the of the united states and nato countries so we're talking about strategic interests your grip on power courtney fish oil this is said to have factors but this entire region is extremely sensitive very strategic and the united states and nato are using the

bad about it to me and savagery and threat of i still i says to just strengthen their presence something ramadani iraq thank you for your input this hour when it comes. european union is threatening more measures against russia saying the crisis in ukraine is being fanned by moscow more than that it's urging countries around the world to respect europe's economic sanctions against russia whether inside europe the unity appears to be fracturing or t. zero piskun 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 would 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 to 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 of nothing's 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 thought on this i think car the. and 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 that 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 a school be the last to retaliate is very hard to predict right now statement by statement e.u. leaders are gradually turning against sanctions so the prime minister criticize them as a quote meaningless gesture that would threaten the nomic growth in e.u. member states austria's agriculture minister confirm that the industry has already lost some six million dollars as a result of russia's we tolerate three food ban while the czech leader claimed the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations of achieve nothing. on top of those the leaders of hungary in finland have also changed their tune motivated by the potentially huge losses they know i face western culture companies on farmers face billions of

dollars in losses from russia's food sanctions and its europeans that stand to lose the most be used already brittle economy is now facing recession over the trade war with russia and experts say is desperate to avoid deescalating into another crisis next on our t.v. we meet people living with a rare genetic condition making them look decades older and they're really it's like a run for the. baltimore is considering making their curfew for minors even stricter for the last twenty years children caught on the street up until midnight were in deep trouble with the police but now this will be made even earlier starting at nine or ten pm depending on their age and the day of the week can the government impose a curfew on youths well yes if we think about it people under eighteen can't sign

contracts join the army smoke cigarettes or vote because they're legally not responsible for their own actions so yeah that whole freedom of association guaranteed by the constitution really only applies once you're an adult who can in theory be responsible for associating with certain people on a street corner at midnight although legally this is ok ideologically there's something wrong with the idea i remember hearing in school all the talk about living in the greatest country on earth and how many freedoms we have in america but the problem is that it is hard for teenagers to believe all these nice slogans when they have to dodge police just for walking down the street in their own home town getting a two hundred fifty dollar fine for leaving your house doesn't make you feel like you're living in the greatest country on earth i mean it sure didn't let me put a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion.

there's a. new one my linking to doing. more of the less you will quit and you just know. that are good good luck my see is that they do it. nearshore similarly at the. be of it. that in florida what i needed. more was written a more limited book on your. new wood the trim with the demi are the. after all.
