relief aid for eastern ukraine start their life saving journey we took off from russia's border city of donetsk it's right here just sixty kilometers from the guns go final destination but the main road is very dangerous the rock here is clashes there right now and this is why we've taken a turn to for a little bit to the know and this is why i will have to drive at least one hundred kilometers and still it's not completely safe the road twists through picturesque pastures the inch of the coast snaking through the horizon looks so peaceful but we are in the zone of a large scale military operation there are checkpoints at every crossroad calm demand and they truly caus hide in the forest for no comfort there and to government forces their control in the spots of ukraine and they have provided security for the humanitarian convoy. that is now heading towards the guns made way

to suddenly stop their reconnaissance groups and before us reports danger had but media got all their babies in on their mothers or some ideas up off my book about every jewish if. not all hers you know it was the one in lebanon when the. two hours later we continue to to change the show again for security reasons the road we had to take is a wild path this is why we are now moving very very slowly in the villages we pass through some of the few residents left to the sight of the cars. we are entering the gonski now after more than four. hours driving you can see this black smoke over there shelling never stops in the city for security reasons again the convoy divides and the trucks and to different try. we follow one of the groups the relief

caravan is welcomed by locals who have become so hungry and desperate during the days of hardship like that of other point that i wasn't sure what next few of. them i need to work well but he did not manage time need two more to make one additional panetta board time i don't know which kofi it took me to a young kid i had to carry people in for put on a minute and tell you look i do think you will. keep a watch out for new york for us which he did. you know it's going to go forward to carryout making my case court appointed judge the court finally the convoy arrives at one of the city's warehouses willing to use it here to help with unloading. the aid will first go to socially vulnerable groups and those who have been affected the most by the ongoing crisis in the guns but also in neighboring towns and villages along the way to humanitarian aid from russia has finally now here it is

going to be time as i told you to medicine and other goods that are sorely needed taking the city that has been living under a very intense shelling so many months and recently without electricity or word to people of this war torn region have been waiting for these convoys for many days within the next hours they will start receiving the first house. review notion out to the lugansk ukraine. however at the same time lugansk was finally receiving some crucially needed aid five residents lost their lives and seventy were injured in army shelling over a twenty four hour period just to warn you there are some graphic images coming up local says scenes like this are frequent less than half of the five hundred thousand people used to live in lugansk remain there and it's mainly the elderly no place in the city is safe residential areas come under fire every day. now the u.s. says that the humanitarian convoys to or into ukraine was

a violation of the nation's sovereignty and has warned russia there could be consequences the white house has issued a statement calling russia's humanitarian convoy a military one without providing anything to back up its accusation it also claims that most of the vehicles have only been inspected by russia despite checks by foreign journalists the international red cross this statement does not mention the local citizens are in desperate need of food and so russian supplies being delivered. this little. fellow such telling you. to get. to work this year because you would think that someone in the front is mushy in playing someone you.

earlier i spoke to the u.n. chief for humanitarian work she says her organization recognizes the dire situation the civilians in ukraine are in and that it's of utmost importance to avoid politicizing the issue. i think that there are political issues which need to be addressed between your brain and the russian federation what i think is important in terms of the humanitarian aspect of grace is that those aspects are not politicized that one of the important things about humanitarian work is that it's independent it's neutral it's about bringing aid to people desperate need i regret that this whole d.c.u. of the convoy became highly politicized and i hope that that does not happen again . more support for kiev came from germany's chancellor angela merkel she held talks

with ukraine's president in kiev ortiz paula sli or has more on what was said. what many good words have been said and often these are the woods of people here at hofstra and didn't square i am want to hear but experience has shown them to be a little bit suspicious of what leaders are saying on the one hand the german chancellor angela merkel say that she does support a cease fire she also said that the interests of russian speaking citizens in ukraine needs to be addressed she also said she supports the idea of a decentralization of power the ukrainian president petro poroshenko said that he was sitting up a fund to the tune of some five hundred million euros that was being provided for by germany now he has been asking for money to help rebuild don buswell essentially the ukrainian army has been active both leaders did say that they understood that a purely military solution was impossible merkel did however the slip some one sided remarks she expressed unquestioning support for the kiev government she also

said that they couldn't be a peace process for as long as weapons were coming across the border from russia into ukraine now this is a claim that has been made by civil waste and leaders but none of them have been able to back up these claims with any kind of proof or evidence the german chancellor also saying that all previous ceasefires had been unilateral and broken by antigovernment fighters now this is not something that people on the ground have been telling us so if the people here in the new guns going to next region say that all previous truce has happened while simultaneously you had the ukrainian military continuing with its shelling and its operations believe them or former state secretary to the german minister of defense he is i'm going merkel's calls for a cease fire gives him hope but the chancellor is seeing her citizens position on the ukrainian conflict. people here in germany fed up with nato allies and they are fed up with was organized by the united states and they are and if we were in

their files saying it is totally unnecessary to provide closer than poll showing go with the window all four year lity we are not interested in having the ongoing conflict in the eastern part of the ukraine if you should do the utmost to find a peaceful solution and there fawaz think most people here in glee tools elan marks . that weapons should be silent in zero clane. on our website r t dot com we're following the fate of russian photographer and he disappeared in ukraine eighteen days ago he's worked for and media outlets like a.p. and reuters in various hotspots around the world calls for his race are globally supported by a three hundred campaign on social networks. i'm

grand jury is considering whether charges should be pressed against the police officer suspected of killing an all norm block teenager in the u.s. city of ferguson fears failure to do so will lead to further street clashes are important to the story the anger and frustration over the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager michael brown has not gone away this community is still demanding justice and accountability for brown's death darren wilson the white police officer who shot shop around six times remains on paid leave now meanwhile his st louis grand jury has begun weighing ave. be charged with killing the eighteen year old the decision is expected in october but the makeup of the jury may ignite a new wave of backlash nine white people and only three black people were chosen as jurors the on even representation may night a new feeling of injustice causing the public to accuse the process of being biased

now on issues of transparency surrounding the shooting believe the ferguson police has disclosed as little information as possible the official police incident report obtained by the a.c.l.u. is only two pages long and does not include a description of the shooting the shooting scenes or quotes from eyewitnesses names of officers involved or any other piece of information normally found on such documents a spokesperson for the county police says the incident report includes the information they are required to share by law michael brown's funeral is scheduled to take place on monday but over the weekend many events vigils and demonstrations are planned to take place with tempers still high it's not clear how quiet or violent things may get marina porter artsy ferguson. to protest against police brutality in new york the demonstrators demand justice for another mom who died. when officers wrestled him to the ground and held him in

a stranglehold the protesters also expressed their solidarity with activists in ferguson where heavily armed police units are still stationed protesters there are being met by officers in combat kit and armored vehicles tear gas become a weapon of choice in responding to public anger the security forces also didn't hesitate to use rubber bullets and even wooden it's causing serious injuries onto were activists in iraq veteran michael prysner believes the police exercise a shoot to kill policy because they know they can get away with it. the reason that they can do this is because they know there's absolutely zero accountability police have a free pass to do whatever they want and you know that they're going to get away with it you know that they're never going to be held accountable and the fact and racism and white supremacy of course plays so much into that because that's why these white officers can kill black people on a massive massive scale and are never punished for and as soon as the incident

happens the entire system rallies around the defense of the police officer and demonizes the victim that's what we saw with michael brown and the reason that there is such militarization of the police and such heavy handed tactics that we've seen used in ferguson the whole reason the national guard has drawn out is because those protests were an expression of real deep issues in american society it seems very scary to people to see all of the equipment that the police had but the fact that they need that equipment shows that they are scared. but here's another reason why the public is our bridge with police conduct an officer in ferguson has been suspended after insulting protesters on facebook saying that quote they should have been put down like a rabid dog or the policeman was also relieved of his judy's after a video emerged in which he makes racist remarks for more on those stories as for a website you can read more about it on r t. more news coming away shortly

including more and more french citizens are joining the ranks of the jihad lists in iraq. 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. robots this is a problem we all think some machines are taking over but the stock machines want to buy stocks and machine stocks in the company to help software companies run by robots that are out there driving robotic cars to work to get their supplier to

drive their own stock price or to get the stockholders to pay them so the robot to get out of the joint to get paid but this is a rossley. they're watching our team to national welcome by at least eleven people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on the interior ministry in the iraqi capital baghdad it comes as a slow mixtape extremists make gains in the north west of the country the hardest for me known as isis controlled some economically vital regions concerned over the rough and dry eyes of the group has led washington to launch earth strikes against the militants and now the u.s.

is considering bombing them in syria as well the french foreign minister is also worried that the islamist behave in another way by stemming their financial flows but his appeal comes at a time when the number of jihad from his country is growing. reports according to a new poll fifteen percent of french people say they think positively of the a ceramic state the eighteen to twenty four year olds that figure is even high up while their government sends weapons to help the fight against to have a stick stream is them in iraq and is rallying well to palace. help stamp out caliphate ideology it's estimated that around seven hundred french nationals have gone to become the tourists in iraq and syria and that's raising concerns over what's in store when they come home you could see you in september eleventh two thousand won't look too few but. they concluded the troubles you had only nineteen terrorists to kill three thousand people imagine that now you have

a case of four. people coming from western europe in training camps in syria. all of these people alone. could create an even deeper problem in may a french algerian jihadist armed with a kalashnikov shot dead four people in brussels jewish museum he'd recently returned from fighting alongside jihadists in syria these are generally young fighters they're young people they're radicalized through two ways simultaneously either they meet somebody through an internet shop forum or on the internet who is islamic radical first or they meet them in person first as a result of travel to some of these countries but there's also a third way and that's through france's prison system muslims are thought to account for the hoff the country's prison population many inmates come from communities blighted by poverty and unemployment and they can be easy prey for

jihadists recruited which means that an increasing number of young men are coming in the air as petty criminals drug dealers and faves but that coming out as islamic fundamentalists around a fifth of the french jehad us fighting in syria and iraq or islamic. law and then just. in paris people struggling to get their heads. around the phenomenon i think and we do have a problem with extremism but the broader problem about france and integration it's it's it's. it's not just a problem about. a religious problem it's also. is a so what is france and i think we're well she was struggling to find on our identity their fridge. or of this tool do going there are three two to five it's

more like like a crude crusade to cruise something very like a moral kind of battle they have to sort this is worrying asli some analysts now say that the french government has to tread carefully over the situation in iraq to avoid angering radicalized muslims at home i think that they could become very angry thing that the government is very careful if they do something besides sending food or water or. they would have a look at old problem here the french government's already force islam make militants in mali and now their affairs that the rise of the islam mixtape in iraq could be inspiring and new generation of would be jihadists in this the european country but the largest muslim population. paris

thousands of protesters have formed a human chain across the german polish border they're calling for plans to create a new open pit coal mine in the region to be scrapped not only will the mine require destroying numerous villages on both sides of the border but activists warn it could lead to an ecological disaster your costs one of the organizers of the protest joins us live to discuss the issue mr haas why does the new mine pose such a great danger. we have been protesting today with our friends in poland against the continued mining of burning off brown coal this is a form of electricity generation which is very environmentally damaging it's the burning of coal is still stab liasing the climate which is causing a lot of human suffering as we have seen with the super typhoon in the philippines last year burning of coal it's also pricing the air with mercury and particles and

most importantly not mining is destroying entire villages forests and a lot of lent so this mine has a strong local impact but at the end it has impacts globally for everyone on the planet everyone in your audience well let's just take up the local problem because under the current plan is nearest polish and some german villages will have to be completely destroyed i believe to make way for the mine is there no other way of avoiding having to do this while still opening the mine. no it's it's economically not possible to go around the religious looking at mining it's being done on a very large scale and it's only economical. mining and such large screen mines. are there are alternative forms of energy then that poland and germany could tap instead of call from this new mine is not available yes definitely the new mine is not needed the replacement for coal will be energy saving and renewable energies

there is still a lot of energy especially gas being wasted in space heating so better insulating our houses will save a lot of gas and disguise can be used to complement renewable energies as long we have not yet arrived arrived at a one hundred percent renewable energy system but is it just a short transition period until we have arrived at such a system renewable energies. especially when did solar are growing very rapidly and their share and they're getting cheaper by the day we have now more than twenty seven percent renewable energies in germany in the electricity system mostly wind and solar so we have to invest some money now but we'll be saving a lot of money by replacing foster nuclear energy in the future it's a very good and safe investment just finally for argument's sake let's say the mine does go ahead as planned how could the dangers that it poses to the environment

actually be reduced. you can do a little bit in terms of furnitures in the power plant for some local pollutants but you know the mining at the end is a threat to a safe climate and here the only answer is ending the burning of coal so this movement is part of a global movement of citizens against coal. movement to end the age of coal globally i mean it's a big thing but all across the world in the usa in australia in india in south africa in indonesia citizens are standing up and finding fighting coal mining and coal burning and this movement is growing rapidly in numbers and i hope that citizens in your audience will also join us in their respective places in germany we are moving towards an electricity system based on clean renewable energies and this is entirely possible entire regions are already using one hundred percent

renewable energies ok so i think this is possible we are just transitioning to a new policy system ok your cast spokesperson for the organization compact democracy in action thank you for your time this hour. thank you let's move to more headlines from around the world now at least twenty people have been killed and dozens injured after three car bombs exploded in the northern iraqi city of kirk one of the bombs went off by the entrance to a market while the other two detonated near buildings used as a lookout ones by security forces so far in august two thousand civilians have been killed amid the ongoing efforts by the iraqi army on kurdish fighters to repel the islamic states on. a fresh series of his really are strikes on gallons a host killed at least eight people and injured over thirty others one of the

missiles hit a high just before dawn killing five members of the same family including two women and two children since the start of israel's assault on the gaza strip over twenty one hundred palestinians have been killed. in industry has been put on red alert over an icelandic volcano part of the country's airspace and has been closed as the volcano is expected to spew large amounts of the country's airports are currently operating as normal in twenty ten the eruption of another icelandic volcano caused huge disruptions to european flights. bouts all the news for now on our table coming up next it's the kaiser reports on for a u.k. viewers you're going on the ground. just

the other week on the program we discussed how it's technically legal but not very motivating to impose a curfew on to minors but now that adults are protesting in ferguson missouri the government is placing a curfew on them i'd like to make a small speculation warning this curfew is probably an excuse to break up the protesters once you disperse angry people a lot of their energy to protest is also dispersed but let's think about this if you take a look at the constitution there are two effective hours listed it doesn't say works from nine to five minute just because crowd control in the darkness is much more difficult and scary for the police doesn't mean that your ability to protest vanishes along with the sun in the evening regardless of whether you agree with the

protesters or whether you agree with the idea of protesting at night or not i think is beyond question that you cannot impose a curfew on adults in the united states just because the last two presidencies have used the constitution as toilet paper does not make it somehow invalid at night but that's just my opinion. just soldiers this that's no soldiers rushes into special forces but being tough and good with a gun may not be enough of these extremes. only the most capable will be to the end . of those whose dreams can build way exhaustion ranks put themselves through fire smoke and water but not for money promotion. is the coveted prince and there are.

please. please look. up. because.
