6:07 am
states that's one year alone almost half a billion dollars of material they are not trained to use this material day 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 violent state suppression of dissent. the first of almost three hundred russian trucks and destined for. the border checkpoint are waiting to be let three to three days numerous hurdles and a great deal of uncertainty for kids to finally accept. it carrying only aid for the vehicle of undergo a very special moment when to see for ourselves what's inside the trucks. these sixteen tracks from the russian humanitarian convoy others first to reach the russian ukrainian border they are now parked here literally meters away from
6:08 am
donetsk is right in a border checkpoint earlier today the cargo these trucks are carrying has only been inspected by the representatives of the international red cross and now we're going to do the same i'm going to pick out the route and really it's going to open it for us. with a three to see here truck is almost. it's about. resume we're simply carrying it. wasn't gone. book wheat. it's buckwheat in the bags just in case anyone suspect it's guns ammunition 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
6:09 am
a tool to hold. 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. now this convoy is heading for the struggling population of eastern ukraine suffering from a nonstop attack or ukrainian army is aiming to serve a connection between the two largest city of donetsk which is right there and lugansk in order to do so they are trying to take control over dozens of small
6:10 am
towns and villages on the road connecting the two hubs now here is a move since if i'm pronouncing it correctly anti-government whitens this is a managed to destroy one of the rocket launchers the army uses to shell the area and over that do not go right there it also came under fire many houses were burned and could be the most important towns is mike here which is just in between that novgorod and then years and because of its proximity to near it's basically as close as you can get to the city without being in the city itself now fighting there doesn't stop even at night and house of the town has been badly damaged. the army succeeds in the near square will be completely blocked from the only humanitarian corridor left the city's authorities have already warned people that water supply is being cut off there's no electricity in many districts and deliveries of food and drinking water only arrive every few days on top of that
6:11 am
bombs and rockets rained down killing dozens and destroying what little people have . on the diplomatic front some progress has been made in an attempt to resolve the ukrainian crisis the russian foreign minister as spoken to the press after a five hour long talks with top diplomats from germany france and crane he said while certain steps had been taken forward the same stumbling blocks remain now the sides failed to reach understanding on a cease fire of the political process now the foreign ministers stress of the cease fire must be unconditional but he said kiev continues to demand they get conditions so kaleb robbed line that national unity is key to resolving the crisis he also commented on the alleged movement of russian troops and machinery along the border say russia's taking whatever measures needed to secure its territory. in terms of armored vehicles and weapons that are own territory i'd like to stress
6:12 am
that there is a war on the other side of the border and it's being waged with heavy artillery military jets rocket launchers and according to some reports even ballistic missiles and it's just it's is if not hundreds of meters from the russian border shells from territory more than once we have every right to secure a border however we think is necessary. meanwhile doesn't seem all that bothered over the whereabouts of a russian photographer missing in the country for two weeks now the interior ministry has said it doesn't want to be bombarded with questions over andrei stand in the earlier it did issue a search warrant and blamed anti government forces for holding him captive ukrainian officials have repeatedly gone back and forth admitting then then denying they had him stand and disappeared on august the fifth in eastern ukraine where he was covering the military crackdown on the region you can get all the details on
6:13 am
our website at our team dot com. coming up later in the program and the u.s. steps up its offensive and american warplanes of the kurdish forces in an assault on the country's largest dam that's while the british prime minister called even more involvement in the fight against the jihad. and they say it like being never strikes the same place twice and that would be true unless that is you get your hands on one of these machines which has managed to create its own ball or have that.
6:14 am
plane. a. little. cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis is syria we still should be doing everything we can't afford the free syrian opposition we will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government encourages forces as they battle these terrorists.
6:15 am
and so saying with us here on our team to national in gaza last crowds have taken advantage of a temporary ceasefire to protest against israel's military offensive but the truth is such a expire later today with fears growing it will mean yet more bloodshed until now the conflict has already claimed nearly two thousand palestinian lives and left many more scarred both physically and mentally. paraphilia has the story of one man who has been left literally speechless by what's happened the last directly from the north and west bank is still unable to speak properly or move his legs following twenty eight days of israeli detention the thirty year old was returning home having attended job interviews in the united arab emirates when he was
6:16 am
arrested at the crossing point between jordan and the west bank which is in part controlled by israel almost a month later he was released into palestinian jurisdiction in a critical condition with his medical records withheld doctors say when he arrived at the hospital he was rigid unable to move his wife says he could move nothing by his eyes and appeared to be dead or a kid i was really afraid for him moss is the type who can't handle insult and humiliation and you must have been a very difficult experience for him he is an extremely sensitive person and he does not accept insult or humiliation. a high flying computer engineer who is apparently a normal health until his arrest. doctors say he was injected with unknown substances that shocked his system sending him into a comatose state and the patient was given medicine during his detention which are known to us here are that the emergency room of a hospital presenting symptoms of shock and he was shaking his lawyer says israel
6:17 am
claimed he was a member of hamas and supported the movement something his father vehemently denies and i know my son he doesn't. remember any such as you even but even how much he was happy even anybody and just seeing at least thirty years. just good with his home with his family with his war with his job until a few days ago it was mute and unconscious now able to mumble words he took hours to tell his father he did allegedly undergone harsh treatment forced into stress positions and kept in total isolation in what he called a black hole i didn't see him i did didn't allow me to see him or even see him a field research or for an israeli human rights group says the evidence suggest more earth was subjected to treatment that exceeds israel's own red lines it seems
6:18 am
that he was broken psychologically africa did from atmosphere of detention from that we deal with him no one from the israeli prison service or army was available to respond to these serious accusations but a spokesperson for the defense ministry said no one is ever detained without a security matter connected to them one of the victim's neighbors visited him at the hospital he too alleged he been arbitrarily targeted at the same crossing ten days ago i was on my way to saudi arabia and they sent me back from the border this is another example the. daily abuse imposed on people just for their being palestinians of them without having committed any crime. investigator abdul karim says israel stepped up its policy of restrictions since the beginning of the recent gaza conflict sometimes during the two hundred to three hundred beslan. axis
6:19 am
and this is i think a disconnect of british meant last case although unusually severe highlights the tight control that israel's army and ministry of defense have of a palestinian freedom of movement both inside and while returning to their own occupied territory the message from palestinians here is that it's not just the blockaded gaza strip that is at the must see of israel security operates how we feel the occupied west bank. where got more stories for you on our website including you might to use it but you should check your trusted brother archie reports from a conference held about wiki pedia and the murky side of the world's most popular encyclopedia. and the height of photography more than a million incredible photos have been taken from the international space station

since it first so they haven't at the start of the millennium and we've got the pick of the bunch for you and our team to. the u.s. has stepped up its strife in iraq carrying out the largest military operation there since the withdrawal of the troops in two thousand and eleven american warplanes have targeted the positions and vehicles of jihad is helping kurdish forces to retake control of iraq's largest stem those are critically important facilities implies a water and electricity to the north of the country and all seized by islamic state militants earlier this month islam is a have managed to take over large areas of iraq you tell. a treat in gold and declared a caliphate. that as the u.k.'s prime minister has called for a broader security response to was the threat posed by the islamic state he came to humanitarian efforts and not enough to cope with the issue and suggested using the
6:21 am
country's military to destroy the caliphate a social legitimate expert on iraq femi at my donny says british army and support of the rebels in neighboring syria has an effect spurred on the jihadists in iraq this is something. the british so talk about. when this started funding. groups said to you over ten. years for about sixteen billion dollars and some estimates iraqis. and within the context of syria. figures are not available but certainly. tens of millions of pounds on be paid. to the same as i sit here basically it's open to all the separatists organization these terrorist organizations will create . used by by the worst of it including including britain
6:22 am
and as the british leader calls for more involvement in iraq let's take a look at what the previous campaign cost there were forty six thousand british troops deployed to the country around one hundred eighty of them were killed the government expected to spend two point five billion pounds but the actual cost turned out to be more than three times higher most of that spending when dingy the military with only just five percent of the money going to aid a. some headlines around the world at this hour in pakistan are tens of thousands of anti-government protesters have taken to the streets the opposition announced a forty eight hour ultimatum to the current prime minister nawaz sharif to resign and urged pakistanis not to pay taxes all utility bills police estimate around forty five thousand people have occupied the center of the capital. in the library and the capital
6:23 am
a quarantine center for ebola patients has been attacked and looted by crowds in the current epidemic is a hoax the seven patients report he escaped while and others were taken away by their families the attack has bungled fears of the deadly virus that will now spread for them. in indonesia thirteen more survivors have been found after a tourist bridge sank on saturday two foreign nationals are still missing more than a dozen people were on board the boat going to head off for a week and wind down off the east coast of indonesia. thunder and lightening for centuries mankind has been amazed as well as terrified at the threatening beauty of nature's fury but these days we can now throw thunderbolts at the push of the button as ilia with the experience. shooting thunderbolts at the click of a button. that takes something as tall curvy and alien looking
6:24 am
as these three hundred tons of capacitors and wires deep in the woods and who cares that it's decades old when it can do this. this monster machine split second output is enough to power a city like moscow twice over but it's not there to kick out power stations hollywood effects maybe no but it could save your life suspicious loot we use it to test the impact of lightning on things like aircraft if a plane a struggle by a thunderbolt in could cause a disaster here we're testing models to make sure the planes are properly protected and the designers know where to place the vital equipment one such test means at least a couple of thousand zaps the longest lightnings zigzag ever produced here was over two hundred meters no surprise then that the home of man made thunderstorms has
6:25 am
become a magnet for fans and tourists and i think i was the luckiest. it's finally dark outside now it's only a matter of the switch. you. believe the train go our team. go back to our breaking news story this hour after two years stalemate abby i can dorian embassy in london there's been some dramatic developments today in the case of chief for wiki leaks julian a function. of the. archies put it work oh was at the press conference take a listen well first of all there's a sea of reporters outside the embassy all responding to the room is that was
6:26 am
circulated this morning that julian assange could be leaving the embassy and giving himself up to the british authorities there was a lot of reports about his ill health and children about a very dangerous heart condition a chronic lung condition but i was inside that press conference and he did very cryptically when we pressed him about it he very cryptically said that he would be leaving the embassy stude now that's obviously fueled speculation there's no. shortage of reporters out here and certainly policeman who would be willing to grab him should he emerge but actually off to his statements about leaving the embassy ricardo putin you know the. jorian foreign minister stepped in and started talking about finding a diplomatic solution as quickly as possible to this stalemate that's taken two years now and not really going anywhere i can confirm that ricardo put him here
6:27 am
left the ecuadorian embassy off to the press conference julian assange did not leave the embassy he went back. to his forces and that's where. he states now in regards to his health he told me that his health is suffering as a result of being knocked inside the building for two years but he says effectively he's been a prisoner for over four years now ever since he was taken to prison what child placed in solitary confinement in prison here where he said he got an hour outside a day that's not what he's getting here because there's no outside space in the ecuadorian embassy his he says he's got. a deficiency a victim indian he didn't get he didn't respond to the specific heart condition or lung condition questions he just said that his health is suffering as any healthy human being would suffer but he said that he recorded between here and julian
6:28 am
assange spoke about perhaps trying to find a diplomatic solution to this stalemate either organizing safe passage or finding a way of overturning that extradition request to sweden. on the way opinions collide in cross talk with peter navarro. in the u.k. it's. trust me i like video games you could tell from my physique but feel like old media could distort reality in the minds of kids and once was journalist it's very unusual to step his kids back into the real world journalist karl magnus helgerson son seemed almost addicted to the legendary military first person shooter game call of duty so since they like killing people with guns he decided to take them to the gaza strip to show them what war is all about mr holder brought his boys to
6:29 am
a refugee camp where they could see injured kids just like themselves getting their wounds to stop they got to see all the blood and tears. apparently this in your face method of parenting works and his children have stopped their on line war this strategy might sound a little extreme and all very expensive i can't afford to fly my family to israel to prove a point but sometimes we're all the to be smacked in the face with reality as a man there's something attractive about roman conquests our ranks of musket fire and a pulley on a conflict those images are nice but the reality is blood and death and if more kids could have the same experience as a helper and family well we might have less war mongers around but that's just my opinion. choose your language. make it with the infidels and. places with the consensus to. choose the opinions that you think are a clue.
