the russian aid convoy returns home after delivering desperately needed supplies to eastern ukraine a mission dubbed an invasion by kiev on the west r.t. follow the trucks on the dangerous journey through the war zone the main road is very dangerous the rocky period clashes there right now and this is why we take and then turn to food you can see this black smoke over there shelling never stops in the city. fears of more street fall and sin the u.s. city of ferguson as a jury did theirs over whether murder charges should be pressed against the policeman who shot dead on the block heater plus. the human just see. the european face

obviously we report on the growing numbers of e.u. citizens joining me to have a sin iraq and in syria. around the clock across the globe this is international coming live from moscow my name's union o'neill welcome tons of food water and medicine have finally reached the embattled citizens of lugansk in eastern ukraine the aid trucks are now back in russia after delivering their vital cargo in less than twenty four hours or to travel with the convoy through the war torn region. it finally happens after being stuck at the border for ten days russian trucks with relief aid for eastern ukraine start their life saving journey which 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 winch of the coast snaking through the horizon looks so peaceful but we are in the zone over a large scale military operation there are checkpoints at every crossroad com demand and they truly caus hide in the forest for no comfort their anti government forces their control in this part of ukraine and they have provided security for the humanitarian convoy. that is now heading towards the gonski made way we suddenly stop and reconnaissance groups and before us reports danger had but media

got all the babies in and they're not out of some ideas up off my book of them are you assuming. that all has eaten of those no one knew anything about them and. two hours later we continue but 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 site 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 roads. 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 one could have other point that i while the field next few of

. them i need to work well but we can't even find new to work to make one additional panetta what time i don't know what's going to be a government where you get all you do you can't go in for put on a minute and tell you tell you the kid will. keep a watch out for new york for us to. go to the poor kid care yeah we do my kids got a point to cut that boy finally the convoy arrives at one of the city's warehouses willing to use it here to help with downloading. the 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 god's time as i told to take medicine and other goods that are sorely needed to tame the city that has been living under a very intense shelling so many months and recently without electricity or word to

the 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 help. review notion our team lugansk ukraine. on while gas was finally receiving the crucially needed aid five residents were losing 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 say scenes like this are frequent less than half of the five hundred thousand people who used to live in lugansk remain there and it's mainly be elderly no place in the city is safe as residential areas come on fire every day. but locals. scenes like this are free can indeed the humanitarian convoys turned ukraine was a violation of the nation's sovereignty according to the us and they've warned that

there could be consequences as well the white house has issued a statement calling russia's humanitarian convoy a military one without providing anything to back up its accusations and it's also claims that most of the vehicles have only been inspected by russia the spy checks by foreign journalists on the international red cross the statement does not mention the local citizens are in desperate need of food and so russian supplies being delivered. this is a. little bit closer to coming when you. feel that you. know what if she goes you would think that there was a little bit of mushy in playing someone you. are now. 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 not it's of utmost importance to avoid politicizing the issue. i think that there are political issues which need to be addressed between ukraine and the russian federation what i think is important in terms of the humanitarian aspects of this is that those aspects are not politicized the 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 issue of the convoy became highly politicized and i hope that that does not happen again german chancellor angela merkel expressed her support for kiev again on a visit to the ukrainian capital there she held talks with the country's president party's policy or has more on what will sit. many good words have been said and

often these are the would say people here at hofstra and didn't square i am want to hear but experience has shown him 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 setting 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 donbass with 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 many 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 is angler merkel's calls for a cease fire gives him hope of the chance there is seeing her citizens position on the ukrainian conflict. people here in germany are fed up with nato allies and they are fed up with was organized by the united states here and there and everywhere in their files saying it is totally necessary to provide president poroshenko with

a window all for you ality 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 therefore i think most people here in glee tools ila marks . that weapons should be silent in zero clane. on our website dot com right now we're following the fate of russian for talk for understanding who disappeared in ukraine nineteen days ago he's work for media outlets like a.p. and reuters and various hotspots around the world calls for his release or will be supported by a free reign on social networks. a jury is considering whether charges should be pressed against the police officer suspected of killing an unarmed black teenager in the u.s.

city of ferguson. that fear to do so will lead to further street clashes are important to the story for us 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 brown six times remains on paid leave now meanwhile the st louis grand jury has begun weighing avenues to. 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 ignite a new feeling of injustice causing the public to accuse the process of being biased now on issues of transparency surrounding the shooting 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 the 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 porton i am artsy for. thousands of people have come out to protest against police brutality in new york the demonstrators demand justice for an us monic man who died when officers wrestled him to the ground and held him in a stranglehold the protesters also express their solidarity with activists in ferguson where heavily armed police units are still stationed protestors there are

being met by officers in combat it on armored vehicles tear gas has become a weapon of choice and responding to public anger the security forces also didn't hesitate to use rubber bullets and even wooden pellets causing serious injuries and two were activists on a rock event for an michael prysner believes that 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 and know that they're never going to be held accountable and the facts 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 happened the entire system rallies around the defense of the police officer and demonizes the victim that's what we saw with the 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're scared. and here's another reason why the public is on grades with the police an officer in ferguson has been suspended after insulting protestors on facebook saying that quote they should have been. another policeman was also relieved after a video emerged in which he makes racist remarks for more on those stories head to our web site r t v dot com. more news coming your way very shortly including how more and more french citizens are joining the ranks of the job in iraq.

trouble 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 chat 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 harrah's petty criminals drug dealers and faves but i. coming out as islamic

fundamentalists around a fifth of the french jehad us fighting in syria and iraq are islamic converts. for the. men. is. in the horses in paris people are struggling to get their heads around the phenomenon thinking we do have a problem with extremism but the broader problem about france and integration 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 or our identity there are friction. of this tool do going there are three to five it's more like you like crewed crusade to cruise something very like a moral kind of bad to be have to sure this is worrying some analysts now say that

the french government has to tread carefully over the situation in iraq to avoid angering radicalized muslims and i think that they could become very angry thing that the government is very careful if they do something besides sending food or water and so. they would have a look at all. here the french government's already fortis lamech militants in mali and now their affairs that the rise of the islam mix state in iraq could be inspiring and new generation of would be jihadists in this the european country but the largest muslim population probably boyko r t paris and indeed it's not just fronts that seeing a stream of people volunteer to fight alongside the jihadists according to recent reports some five hundred you case today since i've joined the ranks of the islamic state group journalist jonathan steele has written extensively on the middle east

told r.t. but it's the british government's policies that are stirring you have a sentiment. one of the crucial favorites is that the british government turned the people who go out to fight to syria on one sense on the same side because they're very close to the asset government and the new farm sector it recently appointed in this town and said that there was no way that britain would tolerate it would work with savage and so the british government is on the same side as us so the people who go out to fight in syria against us say obviously you know the british go to not supporting beheading of people and you know some of the atrocities that didn't commit it but they are in the broader political sense on the same side and that's also one reason it has written to to prosecute these people to. no position you know just it's automatically about saying. of course there's plenty more stories for you online as well including a cultural artifact lost in berlin authorities there are having no luck cracking

international abby martin takes aim at the mainstream and breaking this said. 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 warding this curfew is probably an excuse to break up the protesters what you disperse angry. people of 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 minutes just because crowd control 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

protestors 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 prison seats have used the constitution as toilet paper does not make it somehow invalid at night but that's just my opinion. robots this is the problem we all face the machines are taking over as political stock machines where the buck stops and machine stocks and so on companies to help software companies run by robots that are out there typing self robotic cars to work to get their supplier to drive their own stock price hard to the stockholders to pay them so the robots get on the the joint again but this is the rise.

of. what's happening to folks i'm having martin and this is breaking the set so with the enormous amount of journalists still in ferguson missouri you would think that no story regarding the ongoing protests would go uncovered but apparently no major news network thought to follow up on one of the more disturbing events to come out of all of the unrest see last tuesday local resident my eight white was shot in the head by an unknown perpetrator just after midnight while walking back to a car from a protest thankfully the bullet that hit or was not deadly she was even able to post this poto of her ambulance ride on instagram. after nearly a day doctors determined it was safe to remove the bullet from her forehead and successfully completed the surgery but according to a white when she awoke she was told that the cops had confiscated the bullet for evidence as she expected local police to come back to the hospital to follow up with her about the shooting because she wants to know who shot her except that

interview never happened in fact according to eighteen whites attorney marwan porter he quote talked to both the st louis county police department and ferguson they have no record they have no file number no report they don't have anything this despite the fact that a st louis county police spokesperson previously claimed that the incident was a drive by shooting and were looking for five male suspects a white claims the only five men she saw were those who hope her after she was shot listen no matter what the real motivation is behind this conflicting information coming from officials this story once again shows the absolute incompetence of ferguson in st louis county police when it comes to serving the people of the community as free and white she says she has no interest in local police handling her case anymore and would rather the department of justice take over can't say i blame or now let's break the set.
