3:29 am
when you're constantly on the bar bargeman for example in lugansk it is very hard to communicate so. the united states can actually influence in this regard of course the united states were not present at the meeting but we constantly ask washington to influence. the ukrainian if it were. to be them to stop the bloodshed. and start the talks so talks is the fourth subject we talked about the political process and unfortunately we don't see any substantive progress. april seventeenth geneva accords were made and it said that there should be constitutional reforms in mediately including a nationwide dialogue involving all the regions and old political forces of ukraine like i said this was april seventeenth if it's. a russian us in
3:30 am
ukraine we have agreed to launch this process immediately because this. just like i said we haven't seen much progress in this area but it is important that none of the ministers present at the meeting with the ministers of russia ukraine france and germany they all agreed to henri it firms that geneva a statement of and this is an achievement in itself of course you may say dead it's. a poor situation when you can consider as a progress the fact that you are referring the statement that was made months ago but like i said earlier some in europe were not even willing to recognize the genius statement and some of the statements released by. the e.u.
3:31 am
. we talk about because peace plan and we asked him why why is it that you don't mention the geneva statement we talk to all of you countries and they all tell me we still believe in the geneva statement well if so why. why why not included in your official position your commitment to the geneva accords so we insisted yesterday that this should be included you know statement and none of the parties objected to that and the final point i would like to mention of right now we talked about being able to work out in agreement like i said. i mentioned the geneva agreement burling statement you cease fire political process none of those things. were fulfilled. ceasefire
3:32 am
we do what we are expected to do under those agreement and we don't see our partners doing the same i can give you many examples so yesterday what i suggested to my colleagues is going back to the very beginning so to say so to speak. after. what happened on my done on february twenty first there was an agreement signed between the vienna through eighty's of ukraine. and opposition which is currently the authorities see it senor cool each cause will disqualify and they were also signatures of the people present at the meeting yesterday the foreign minister of france germany plus the foreign minister of poland. we often talked about this agreement and when we ask our western partners some why the key for authorities failed to order their statement they say it's disappear and that's the real. well regardless of who disappear when the unit codes did not
3:33 am
disappear regardless of that the key point all for the february twenty first agreement was a statement that as the first step that is necessary to set up. a national unity government national unity government that would prepare a constitutional reform and call an election the concept of national unity is the foundation of everything this is the number one provision of that statement and everything was based on that that that should be the government of national unity transitional yet the should be a government of national unity and then two days after that agreement was signed it was torn and two days ago there was a coup and then they declared a government that came to power in kiev the. government of syria so you can tell the difference between the government of national unity and the
3:34 am
government of winners these were all the current problems of ukraine come from so we had a very frank conversation with my colleagues with my partners and i'm very grateful to them. and they all referring to me that the real they were in favor of national unity well if they are what the geneva statement said that a constitutional inclusive dialogue should start immediately involving all the regions and all the political forces this is what should take place this is the path towards national unity not the decisions made in the supreme right of for example their recent law they dock to banning certain political parties then ng certain people from certain professions this only will deepens the crisis. so these are the things that we talked about yesterday and we have agreed that three good.
3:35 am
all disease should cease fire humanitarian aid border control and. preparations for launching a political process we have agreed that we will continue talking about these four matter is and we will try to work out a mutually acceptable solution and then we'll consider what format we should use to continue our efforts to stop the current tragedy in ukraine if you have any questions i'm ready to take the muscles. on merkel recently talked to president putin. and she said. that russia. supplies weapons and provides military training. for rebels. but we often hear this
3:36 am
in reports so far the ukrainian media and the german media did you talk about that is. your real solution though we need not to discuss this subject separately like i said earlier let's look at one of the areas we talked about with your situation along the border just sort of what we're doing we're responsible for our side of the what are you naturally. second you there are some border crossings that are not being controlled by the ukrainian authorities on their sides at those crossing so we invited always see monitors to our side of the border and currently at the crossing we have even the ukrainian border guards customs officials for the purpose of a delivery in the community here in the immediate convoy we are willing to let them stay there longer and we support the idea of providing the or you see mission in ukraine with additional equipment including drones and
3:37 am
we're open to all these matters. but in the situations when completely false information is being circulated in the media. well i hope you're all adults and you can tell truth from fiction for example when after. talk to david cameron and they said there was a military convoy that entered ukrainian territory from russia and then it was partly destroyed by ukrainian forces nothing like that happen always said there was a ukrainian convoy going to. guns to reach and probably to stop. to cut the route which was supposed to be used for the humanitarian aid convoy and then the militia destroyed part of that convoy so probably that's what happened if they twist things around and misrepresent facts
3:38 am
well that's their problem not ours you had consultations. with. certain nations leaders. could you please repeat what do you say but nation's leaders. no no no that's not what i said i said we will go back to our nation's leaders and we'll tell them regarding whether we can they see you've some kind of common understanding yesterday we talked about the various aspects of the cranium crisis and we have reached an agreement on a number of things like humanitarian aid border control and. preparations for a cease fire and political dialogue we don't have the specific formulas wording yet and we will talk more and i will talk more to my colleagues were
3:39 am
regarding whether we can come up with something in writing and then we will report to our nation's leaders and then we'll talk again about the formica we'll use in the future for our efforts. they were many reports saying that russian troops are moving towards the border and along the border. we did not see russian troops crossing the border but we saw a lot of russian troops moving along and towards the border of course. this invites questions could you please comment on that and oh you see monitors said they saw people in military uniform without arms but in military uniform crossing the border. legally or illegally could you please comment on that well or
3:40 am
you see morning jurors can ask this question directly to russian border guards so working at the border crossing. they know each other they are there together is so there is no problem to ask them directly and clarify the situation with the russian border guards. guards military equipment on our territory and i can tell you again for you that there is a war going on on the other side of the border. our artillery your air force. multiple launch rocket systems and ballistics even ballistic missiles being fired at lugansk just a few kilometers from all right border they were mirroring instances when shells lended on our side of the border of course. we can.
3:41 am
accept that this was not intentional that this happened accidentally. houses are being destroyed accidentally on the russian side of the border and there was a situation when even a ukrainian a.p.c.'s crossed crossed the border probably they were not aware of the fact that they could cross the border the we you know harry so we have to be careful we have to be on high alert. there is nothing wrong with that and in any case. we are in our own right to make any decisions we deem are necessary to ensure security on our side of the border and there is a food long war happening on the other side of the border. regarding the ultimatum given by the right sector to the ukrainian
3:42 am
authorities who does the duty you craning the authorities really control the national guard. do you think the crimean authorities can. influence the situation well of course the ukrainian authorities. have no control over many of the brigades meenie of the units including the right sector and quoting to the data available to us many of the national guard units consists of the right sector activists and the ukrainian authorities have no control over battalions set up by all the guards like materially and as solve the battalion be poor and so on and so forth this is a big problem and this is why we insist that they key for thor to use
3:43 am
shoed launch a nationwide law dialogue as we have agreed in geneva in april. the key for thirty . make it clear to southeastern ukraine that there are enough trysted in reconsider lieschen and we also work with our western colleagues especially in the united states who really can influence and those militias do not all reports to the central authorities and if we know that the west has some influence. in these militias and. we hope they will realize the difficulty of the situation and they will influence those forces before your meeting. we heard that ukraine had requested military aid from nato and the e.u.
3:44 am
what do you think about that and about this request well what can i think i think it's bad this goes against all those agreements all those understanding's we had a regarding the need for ceasefire and the start of talks. as long as ukraine remains committed to the use of force and the key for authorities continue to think that. in order to secure its position and needs military victories over their own people as long as this goes on i don't think we will be able to make much progress thank you. thanks for joining us artie international live from moscow that right there was a live feed from lynn with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov off with three additional european counterparts there they've had for the past couple of
3:45 am
days discussions about the ukraine crisis running down a very brief wrap up for you some of the highlights from other russian foreign minister sort of role for saying that the humanitarian convoy the russian humanitarian convoy three hundred trucks of aid should very soon reach the people in eastern ukraine. also saying that it was three weeks ago the russian invited the zero s. c.e. the organization for security and cooperation in europe to come to the russian ukraine border they've been there for weeks on the o. s. c.e. observers refute various western media reports that the russian troops are going over the border of the o. s. c.e. saying they've seen no such thing russia's position is that a cease fire must be unconditional across ukraine and kiev must do a better job securing its borders but at least having the o.s.c. either according to his mr lavrov is a good move lugansk is under constant bombardment an eastern ukraine mr laffer of saying washington can have influence on this by telling kiev to scale back but
3:46 am
washington is not involved on this and didn't attend the meeting in lynn i want to laugh it off also saying the geneva agreements are being neglected by several edu countries although the western partners say they are committed to the geneva accords they note many more details on this at r.t. dot com for the meantime we'll take a short break and hope to see you in just a moment. i think that. they would like to know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy shrek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers
3:47 am
once built up my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem you're trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing america to find a job ready to join the movement then walk a little bit. flip on your arm and a lot of these policies i think sometimes people are. a pleasure to have you with us here on our team today i'm researcher.
3:48 am
i'm abby martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right other big story that extra headlines and talk there's a reason they don't want to do now that are important and telling the truth is that we should be completely out now let's break the set. thanks for joining us r.t. international comes to you live from moscow and straight to our breaking news for you this hour authorities in the u.s. suburb of ferguson missouri have announced the deployment of the national guard to quell the ongoing violence there. earlier the police again short rounds of tear gas against the protesters rallying over the killing of a black teenager by an officer last week security forces say that was in response
3:49 am
to protesters reportedly throwing molotov cocktails out them a curfew has now come into effect for a second night following more than a week of demonstrations that are also calling for the police to stop the crackdown on peaceful protests it's just started nearly three in the morning there are enough to use a mystery truck as this report to tell now would have been hard to imagine a moment where we would have to report in helmets from the streets of missouri earlier just hours ago complete mayhem and chaos was already unraveling on the streets hours before the curfew began where police were firing tear gas at protesters l. rods were being used we know that at least one person was injured really may have on the ground people with children still victim to the tear gas being used we know that a woman in a chill in a wheelchair was trying to speed away from the scene and just really really hectic a heavily militarized police for the second night of curfew here night after night this is exactly a week now since clashes began here between protesters and police after the death
3:50 am
of unarmed eighteen year old michael brown because of multiple shots fired bullets by a police officer the community has been coming out on to the streets demanding accountability and justice they have not seen many answers if any at all to the death that took place and they're continuing to come out onto the streets to demand that so we'll be here bringing you all the latest as events here on rubble as this curfew now begins. protesters claim the police aggression against ferguson demonstrate his is out of proportion vehicles have been deployed to quell the unrest but images from one of the rallies show at least an officer wearing some very serious combat gear his equipment includes a military helmet and topical goggles his weapon of choice possibly a grenade or gas launcher with an advanced scientists well and on his hip well you can see one of them right there two big fighting knives well we spoke to dr mark mason a an activist and a member of the occupy movement he's very worried about the militarization of the
3:51 am
police. what we have now on the streets these are not police these are paramilitary troops you go to central america and sure going to find the same thing i cannot over emphasize that i am old enough to see a very very frightening transition in the united states where the militarization of the police is a movement by. the owners of this country the last year alone in two thousand and thirteen one year the u.s. pentagon donated more than four hundred million dollars almost a half a billion dollars of new military grade equipment to police departments in the united states that's one you're alone almost half a billion dollars of material they are not trained to use this material they don't know what they're doing with it and we should not have paramilitary troops not on the streets ferguson and not in the streets of central america either this is clear
3:52 am
violent state suppression of dissent. the first of almost three hundred russian trucks destined for eastern ukraine are at the border checkpoint waiting to be let through it's taken three days numerous bills and a great deal of uncertainty for kiev to finally accept that indeed the code boy is only carrying aid before the vehicles undergo the very last inspection rif an option on his cellphone to see what's inside. these sixteen trucks from the russian humanitarian convoy are the first to reach the russian ukrainian border they are now pocs here literally meters away from donetsk is right in a border checkpoint you know today the cargo these trucks carrying has only been inspected by the representatives of international red cross and now we're going to do the same i'm going to pick up trucks and the city is going to open it for us.
3:53 am
military to see here is this truck is going. it was about the last. resume was simpler we carrying it. wasn't going. buckwheat. it's buckwheat and the bags are just in case anyone suspects it's guns ammunition or something else like weapons of mass destruction. it is tells me that each bag is fifty kilograms and the route one hundred sixty bags here which means a tool told. eight tongs and this is he tells me the maximum or what they struck can carry well 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 we have been able to speak to here told me that there will be two
3:54 am
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 crinan border. the convoy is heading for the struggling population of eastern ukraine with is still suffering nonstop attacks the ukrainian army is aiming to sever the connections between the two largest cities lugansk in that corner in order to do so though they're trying to take control of many little while towns and villages that have peppered along this main connecting hub for example in museums government fighters managed to destroy one of the rocket launchers in the area being used by the government and also in as well but they also came under heavy fire many houses burned to the ground keefe that's also another town perhaps the most important one because of its proximity to john yes it's basically as close
3:55 am
as you can get to the city without being in the city itself and fighting that doesn't stop even at night and half of the town has been well basically razed to the ground or if the army succeeds don yet school be completely blocked off from the only humanitarian corridor all that's left to cities or thorold's are very already warned people that the water supply is being cut off there's no power in most districts and deliveries of food and drinking water only arrive once every several days on top of that the bombs and rockets continue raining down killing thousands and destroying what little people have left. and on the diplomatic front some progress has been made in an attempt to resolve the ukrainian crisis the russian foreign minister has spoken to the press off to five hours of long talks with diplomats from germany france and ukraine as well. that a consensus has been reached on russian humanitarian aid both now and in the future as well as on the issue of border controls however the sides didn't find
3:56 am
understanding on two stumbling blocks the ceasefire and the political process foreign minister stressing the ceasefire must be unconditional but he said he continues to demand vague conditions also underline that national unity is key to resolving the crisis will be joining our correspondent in the next hour with more details on that for now on our web site you can find many stories standing by for you for example doesn't seem all that ball that about the whereabouts of this russian photojournalist missing in the country for two weeks now that's. back with more news after a very short break. dramas
