good to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. our headlines on our t.v. a russian humanitarian convoy is finally on the move after being stalled for three days in its cargo for civilians trapped in the east ukraine conflict zone is undergoing checks on the border. on rest escalates in the u.s. town of ferguson with police using tear gas military weapons from the power of arrest protests teen shot dead by an officer have lost it all. also the kurdish fighters attempt to push back to how this from the islamic state amid claims all sides of the conflict are benefiting from american weapons which

have flooded the reach. into the weekly an r t international iraq at the top stories for the past seven days and right up to the moment developments as well my names you know welcome our top story the first batch of russian trucks carrying humanitarian aid has reached the border with ukraine the convoy carrying two thousand tons of supplies spent three days waiting. about the humanitarian nature of the cargo and went to see the contents for herself. and 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 of these trucks 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 mr lee is going to open it for us . military to see here is the truck is on. it's about the last. reason we're simpler we carrying it. wasn't bomb. book wheat it's buckwheat in the bags 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 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 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 are saying. looks that the mia but general was new and i didn't buy into it that the gate to the pulse not out. i see just as many below can't stand me i'm not going to pull my eyes to meet you when you have yet to meet a steely here's a video of a near the edge of the us live in the current that gets

a lot of us to say that the new cuts so far and you'll start over to the state i know but then been in the atmosphere. not just the below economical but it's nothing for belgians the i'm on a t.v. station you think you need to change it but if he did he. wanted. to see it in full force you can achieve these from this newsgroup but it would exclude some songs on model the usually you don't want to see the production with. ukraine claims one of its attack jets has been shot down by anti-government fighters near the gallants while anti-government forces say they managed to bring down two more incessant shelling by the ukrainian army is continuing.

local self-defense forces claim even ballistic missiles helping used against the city parts of a missile were found in one district that was similar to missiles previously used in that 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 in terms of warfare all they missed silos smocks some ranges up to one hundred twenty kilometers an hour distances able to hit targets with an accuracy of one hundred meters there are various types of warheads available for this system including chemical and nuclear even with a conventional payload it's able to inflict significant destruction destroying an entire heise with ease and his former u.k. army officer charles hsu bridge told us the people of eastern ukraine face many

other dangers what if this video is genuine and should be said that 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 incendiary in particular you've got. of large numbers of small pots of codes 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 calm people it out with water a second round of talks to resolve the ukrainian crisis is underway in berlin after two months it is the foreign ministers of germany france ukraine and russia are giving direct talks another try in berlin for us is peter all over following the meeting peter good evening to you how does anything solid come out of the talks to

get. well as it stands at the moment we haven't heard too much coming out of these negotiations between the foreign ministers of germany france ukraine and russia but after the sanctions after threats they are back at the table trying to hammer out some kind of a framework for peace in eastern ukraine now just before the negotiations got underway the german foreign minister from volta steinmeyer did give a few brief comments to journalists before going in he talked about the need for more of these talks the need for a diplomatic solution to be found that every option should be made available to avoid potential direct military clashes between ukraine and russia he also spoke about the diet humanitarian crisis unfolding on the ground in eastern ukraine the need for humanitarian aid to reach those people but he did warn against anybody

getting their hopes up too much he said this it was very unrealistic to think that the talks ongoing right now would bring about any concrete any concrete framework towards finding a peaceful solution but that these are as we heard from in the past steps that need to be taken the diplomatic solution has to be found so those talks are ongoing right now and as it develops anything comes out of there of course we'll bring it to you here on r.t. or all of her across all of the valid minutes from berlin thank you for the update now there's still no proof that a column of russian apc's penetrated into ukraine through and i quote a hole in the border fence before being tracked under straw or by ukrainian artillery moscow was 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 proof 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 their claims they posted pictures of an alleged military convoy in on identifiable location truing the daytime the un 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 task think 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 triumph over the russian enemy you'll go through 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 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 our global plea for missing russian photojournalists under its skin in russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are calling for his immediate release backed up by a wave of support on social media using the hashtag free. here you can see some of his work c.n.n. is a famous journalist who's covered the conflicts in ukraine syria and gaza thirty three year old understanding this appeared in eastern ukraine almost two weeks ago and since then kiev has both confirmed and denied having him he was working outside the square putting in kiev a crackdown on anti-government fighters when connection with him was lost.

moving on seven people have been arrested and one critically injured in the us time of ferguson clashes between protesters and police escalate a curfew imposed in the time feel to stop people again coming out to demand justice for an unarmed teenager shot by an officer we could go on to see a churkin it 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 on ravel 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 michigan right. thousands have protested only. these rights by 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 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 here all were before we were of a tear gas and it got to the point so well 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 freedom school the other was 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 come to flick 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. slitting death 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 the. woodwork 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 party ferguson missouri. fury over the killing of the on armed teenager spread to some ninety cities or. to us from washington to los angeles even across the ocean in the u.k. demonstrators shot gathered outside the u.s. embassy expressing solidarity with michael brown and his family protesters claim that police aggression against ferguson demonstrators is of proportion just last night five armored vehicles were deployed and images from one of the rally show an officer wearing some very serious combat gear his a put in includes a military helmet tactical goggles of course you can see is weapon of choice possibly a grenade or tear gas launcher with an advanced sight on his hip as well tonight as

some experts believe civilians are being treated like enemies have 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 on the gear as the policemen in your training you start acting like a military unit like you're in a patrol and unfortunately what happens is the psychology changes the only look at least when they're approaching one hundred three it's like they're moving it all out. for a short break here in r t international to join us very shortly. it

was very interesting because it dropped out of the sky and the roar back up so that it would shift across a few degrees. of the circle in combat at a speed but you know just astronomical speeds for. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria and we still should be doing everything we can to support the free syrian opposition who will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi

government and kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists. minutes into the hour welcome back kurdish forces supported by u.s. airstrikes have reportedly retaken a strategic in iraq i think fighters off the islamics the terror group the vital facility supplies water and electricity to the north of the country and the joint operation comes after the e.u. greenlit the sending of weapons to the kurds. brings us 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. american 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 so why is thinking about the engagement of turkey in iraq this month the same my autonomy as region has shown to be friendly to the u.s. 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 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 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 part. u.s. interests with humanitarian situation so dire and the threat posed by the islamic state still 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. american weapons of flow to the region almost every

sign of the conflict including the kurds have in one way or another been armed by washington the u.s. has been openly sending legally aid to syrian government fighters some of them though defected from more moderate factions to the islamic state taking weapons with them almost nine billion dollars worth of arms were sent to iraq but some of them again were captured by the extremists as the country's army fled in an exclusive interview to r.t. former u.s. congressman and presidential candidate ron paul spoke about the prospects for america's latest moves in iraq he told us that the u.s. risks sinking deeper into conflict unless it leaves the iraqis to deal with the islamic state on their own 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 that i says ended up getting a lot of weapons from us and if they captured weapons they've got

a modest syria and i'm sure there are some that came from libya so they're 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 lives spent a lot of money and we've allowed a mess to develop and there's nothing about amassing chaos there and in a way were partially responsible for the. we've always got plenty more stories for you online including a new eavesdropping scandal in germany this time the country's intelligence agency did some snooping all of their own taking an interest in the u.s. secretary of state on his previous. story. also online russian girls from siberia the internet with their hot moves check. whatever that is out of our website.

the european union is threatening more measures against russia saying the crisis in ukraine is being found by moscow more than its origin countries are run the. sanctions against russia inside europe the unity appears to be fracturing our 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 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 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 the 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 we heard that 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 the sanctions slovakia's prime minister criticize them as a quote meaning less 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 tit for tat food ban while the czech leader claimed the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations unachieved nothing now on top of those the leaders of hungary and finland have also changed their tune motivated by the potentially huge losses they in i face western i could culture companies on farmers face billions of dollars in losses from russia's food sanctions on its europeans that stand to lose the most the e.u.'s ready brittle economy is now facing recession

over the trade war with russian experts say brussels is desperate to avoid running into yet another crisis sinews for now but up next stay tuned for silent epidemic here on r.t. international. because the try to. play polo going to. want to thank you. for. taking every minute. cut me the law oh well. like the. thing that's set in the old time. most cases it's.

sometimes for nothing which. is so we. look just keep still will be just if you see a stage eight looked to be. but speech was. playing and. these aren't just soldiers this spits no soldiers rushes into little 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. of. those whose dreams can melt away exhaustion all ranks put themselves through fire smoke and water but not for money or promotion. is the coveted crimson bearer. eugenics was

eugenics vulgarized darwin science punishment for an uncommitted crying i was. in a t. feeble mind still today so if you i don't know why. i still don't know why genetic improvement through forced sterilization the basis for nazi ideology don't stop at just sterilizing and now go to the point of death. for years rarely discussed. till now really rather talk about that right. america's colleges which through hollywood television and the media have become very familiar.
