the u.s. suburb of ferguson becomes even more militarized as the national guard is the ploy to help heavily armed police to talk up protestors rage over the shooting of a teen by an officer. of visibly frail seats he's ready to leave his refuge in london but his supporters say only when police lift the multi-million two year old blockade i'm going to be him safe passage. also the come this hour the first russian trucks trying to monetary an eight are up to ukrainian border checkpoint ready to go but with little progress made towards a cease fire the convoy is heading into an area of. violence.

from a new center here in moscow twenty four hours a day you're watching international my name's union welcome to the program the national guard is being deployed in the u.s. suburb of ferguson where the standoff between security forces on protestors has reached new levels of violence to see a trick and it is there for us and she joins us live on the sea it welcome to you it does seem the militarization of the suburb is stepping up significantly as the national guard is getting involved. that's exactly correct union of raw emotions have been flying high here in ferguson as militarization of law enforcement has been reaching its peaks especially sunday

night just hours before a second night of the curfew was about to begin here on the streets of ferguson it has to be said that for night after night after night for over a week now hundreds if not thousands of people have been coming out onto the streets to protest the killing of unarmed eighteen year old michael brown by a police officer we do have the lead us independent autopsy results being announced that reveal that michael brown was shot at least six times including two times in the head and this has been bringing protesters out onto the street demanding the reasons why this young man would be killed by a police officer with multiple gunshots now sunday night became one of the one of the most chaotic nights here in ferguson throughout this entire week where police use more tear gas than in previous days including sound cannons l rads we do know that families with children were still out on the streets when tear gas had hit some of them this was quite an unprecedented situation when the united states even journalists were told to disperse otherwise they could get hit with tear gas or

shots while standing in a crossfire or two journalists were arrested leader to be released certainly a very chaotic situation while all of this entire while this entire community is simply demanding answers to the quote to the question of why this young man had to be killed we talked to some people about the tear gas and what the future holds for this town take a listen i saw protesters in the street with their hands up and tell them shoot the police because you know let me move when you've been circling the protesters they started with you it's hard to raise a kid in the world like this where you have to worry about your business protect you in the form of people in this community is being the normal thing for police to be and just to. just take advantage of situations. it's been over seven days since michael brown was murdered on august ninth and passions have not died down for any one of those nights here in ferguson as police become more

and more militarized clashing with protesters certainly we're not expecting this tension to die down anytime soon unfortunately especially now with the national guard being deployed to the streets of ferguson to try to tackle the situation on the sea a chicken is speaking to us from missouri thank you for the update now the eat in year old victim was shot at least six times four bullets hit his right arm and to his head proving fatal that's the conclusion of a policeman or a private autopsy the doctor that examined the body concluded all the bullets were fired up the team from a distance taking to the streets to demand justice is proving a risk for demonstrators who are facing police and military equipment gas marks protect the officers from the damaging effects of the tear gas that they are launching against protesters military grade weapons smoke and stun grenades complete the look officers are supported by armored vehicles as well that were used during the iraq and afghanistan campaigns dr mark makes an activist from the occupy

movement sees he's worried about the militarization of the police force. what we have now on the streets these are not police these are paramilitary troops you go to central america and you're going to find the same thing i cannot overemphasize that i am old enough to see of 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 year old lone 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. crowds of palestinians have used the fragile cease fire to display their anger at the actions of israel we report on some of those who escaped the israeli strikes but still have to cope with the psychological trauma caused by the offensive. after spending more than two years trapped in a tiny embassy been wiki leaks had a very julian assange has made a sudden announcement. and. i am reading the. want to the innocence left out however was how exactly he's planning to do that though there were some cryptic hints. there was that the news conference for us. well we probably haven't had this big

a crowd outside london's ecuadorian embassy since julian of songe first saw refuge here two years ago but the press is here because of reports that he's suffering from ill health and that he would be emerging from the embassy today to give himself up to british or for e.t.s. now there's certainly no shortage of police waiting for him to grab him in case he should make an appearance he would be extradited to sweden where he's wanted for questioning and he's away said that he fears that he'd then be sent on to the us where he's been investigated for over four years now for publishing u.s. diplomatic cables back in two thousand and ten now i was just in a very small press conference with julian assange and ricardo patino ecuador's foreign minister inside the embassy and in response to the question that's gripping all the press outside as to whether he's leaving today or he said very cryptic he that he is planning on leaving very soon but not for the reasons that the press is

reporting i asked him about his health as well and reports that he's got a chronic lung condition and a dangerous heart condition and he didn't reply specifically about the conditions but he said that he is suffering as a result of spending two years inside the embassy now at the end of the press conference i can say that i saw ecuadorian foreign minister product leave the embassy and i saw julian assange go back to his quarters inside the embassy but for now we're outside and we're waiting in case he should make an apparent reporting from london i'm poly boy. so why would a son's leave not well according to his associates it's due to a new law that bombs extradition without charges. what's happened here which hasn't been widely reported but is certainly in print is that the law has changed regarding the european arrest warrant laws changed in the sense that no one no one now in britain can be extradited against their will to

a country without being charged and of course as everybody knows what's significant about julian of songes difficulties is that he's never been charged i can't vote for him but he is ready to leave the embassy as soon as the police presence here is called off and the u.p.a. has already decided to give him safe passage to act which. was all foreseeable bligh's to accordance to international agreements that they have signed julia songe launched wiki leaks in two thousand and six dedicating the project to making the truth public in two thousand and ten the website post the truth of highly embarrassing documents mean the u.s. diplomatic memos on war files about same year sweden issued an arrest warrant for his son's over an alleged sexual assault which he denied and then twenty hour lafon a london court approved this extradition to sweden he tried to appeal but that did not work so he fled to the ecuadorian embassy in june twenty twelve and asked for political asylum within two months ecuador granted him asylum he's remained in the

embassy since on able to leave let's hear again from his friend govern who we've already heard from and it all takes a huge toll on the songes health and mental state. well it's very difficult for a couple being locked in a room knowing that if you stepped outside the terrible things would happen to you the embassy itself is a warm and friendly place but but the rooms are cramped and crowded there's no sunlight there's no fresh air. it's not a great place to spend a month and a lot alone two years that's a long long time and i think it bears on you and i think there's also the worry that should he become seriously ill which we hope he never does he'd have to leave the embassy to get medical care and which case he'd be arrested and put on a plane immediately somewhere so it's a it's a very tricky situation for him and very trying i think emotionally physically in every important way still to come this hour the u.s.

pushes on with its largest military operation in iraq since its forces officially pulled out of the country. britain could be next to start military action as david cameron calls for a larger response to the jihadist threat posed by europe to europe excuse me by islamic state militants. the first of almost three hundred russian trucks destined for eastern ukraine are at the border checkpoint waiting to be left through it took three days of hurdles on checks for kiev to finally accept the convoy was indeed carrying only humanitarian aid before the vehicles go with their very last inspection refinished some of them these sixteen trucks from the russians humanitarian convoy are the first to reach the russian ukrainian border they are now parks here literally meters away from donetsk is where in a border checkpoint you know today the cargo these trucks carrying has only been expected by the representatives of the international red cross and now we're going

to do the same i'm going to pick up trucks and really is going to open it for us. military to see here. because the boss. resume was simply carrying it. wasn't born. 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 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 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 border now the ukrainian media reporting that a refugee column must come under fire outside lugansk ukrainian military officials say self-defense forces are behind the attack which resulted in a large number of casualties no evidence has yet been provided we spoke to a leader of the anti-government forces. this room they're talking about is being shelled from the roof it launches all the time and the reason the army's booming it is because its own road of life is being used to deliver the

humanitarian aid to the city and it's the exit for the refugees who are fleeing to russia so this road has been under fire for more than a month now i myself was once caught in the shelling our weapons are facing the opposite direction with our backs to the road because we're defending it there's no way we could afford it. the ukrainian national guard says it's had twenty five skirmishes with government forces over the past twenty four hours kiev us forces want to sever connections between the two largest cities in the studies between lugansk and the nets in here in order to do that they're trying to take control of dozens of small towns and villages on the road connecting them here and. we'll be here actually and anti-government fighters destroyed a rocket launcher that the army uses to shell the area over here is done of cat came on fire as well many houses were burnt but arguably the most important time is

my key of care because of its proximity to the net it's basically as close as you can get to the city without being in the city itself fighting there continues day and night and half of the time has been badly damaged if the army succeeds the nets will be completely blocked from the only humanitarian corridor remaining the city's authorities have already warned people but the water supplies being cut off there's no electricity in many districts deliveries of food and drinking water arrive only every few days on top of the bombs and rockets rain down killing dozens and destroying the little that people have left. meanwhile kiev has offered little help in the search for a russian photographer who's been missing in ukraine for two weeks now and the interior ministry says it doesn't want to be bombarded with questions about andre c.n.n. although about two weeks ago it did issue a search warrant and accused government forces of holding him before the ukrainian

authorities briefly admitted they had him before buck tracking stammen disappeared on august the fifth in eastern ukraine where he was covering the region's military crackdown you can get all the details on our website r.t. dot com. plenty more news coming off you after a short break. crosstalk

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 in syria and 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. i. welcome back to the program the u.s. has stepped up its airstrikes in iraq making it the largest military operation

there since its troops officially withdrew and twenty eleven american warplanes have been targeting to harvest on their hardware allowing kurdish forces three to control of iraq's largest um the strategically important facility supplies water and electricity to the north of the country islamists have managed to take over large areas of iraqi territory on the kurds a caliphate there. u.k. prime minister david cameron has called for a broader response to the threat posed by be a slow mixtape group suggesting future british military involvement however the leader specifically pointed out there would be no british boots on the ground research being carried out into just how much public support the islamic state group has in the three biggest european nations on a partly in france it has reached fifteen percent john white and or third who has written extensively about the middle east explains where those figures come from. but more than one issue in the photos i think domestic situation in france

a regards to minorities they could is not very good social cohesion is very weak was issues of youth unemployment with the treatment i'm a noted tease for the lack of social cohesion because the french policy of assimilation of minorities is clearly a failed one the islamic state very cleverly playing on people's fears that able to whip up a sense of moral panic and this is that if it's the bellicose statements that we have seen from people like david common david cameron is clearly the political equivalent of rip van winkle the fictional character who goes to sleep for twenty years before waking up to find that the world has changed and as the british leader calls for more involvement in iraq let's take a look at what the previous campaign cost forty six thousand british troops put their lives on the line in iraq the government expected to spend two point five billion pints but eventually the campaign course more than three times that point

most of that spending went on the military with just five percent going to the post conflict eight effort. people have used the last day of a temporary ceasefire to call on israel not truly knew its military offensive but as the truce is expected to expire later today it's feared the bloodshed will begin again up to the month long conflict has claimed more than two hours the house and many others left with physical and mental scars party fears in gaza for r.t. and met one man has literally been left speechless. the after rady 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 arrested at the crossing point between jordan and the west bank which is in part controlled by
