9:09 pm
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 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 several western 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 for leave him
9:10 pm
a former state secretary to the german minister of defense says angela merkel's calls for a cease fire gives him hope that the chancellor 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 and they're fired saying it is totally unnecessary to provide president poroshenko with a window off. 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. and also just to remind you on our website at home we all following the fate of russian photographer stan and who disappeared in ukraine nineteen days ago he's worked for

media outlets like a.p. and reuters in various hotspots around the world and calls for his release a globally supported by a free andrew campaign on social networks. now a grand jury is considering whether charges should be pressed against the us police officers suspected of killing an unarmed black teenager demonstrators in ferguson missouri have mocked two weeks since michael brown's death supporters of the police said in a separate rally in nearby since the shooting was justified. has got the details. 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 his st louis grand jury has begun weighing avenues to determining it. should be charged with killing the eighteen year old the decision
9:12 pm
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 eye witnesses 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 now michael brown's funeral is scheduled to take place on monday but over the weekend many events vigils and
9:13 pm
demonstrations are planned to take place with tempers still high it's not clear how quiet or violent things may get marina portnoy out r.t. . from thousands in new york who also protested against police brutality the demonstrators call for justice for this matic man who died when offices wrestled him to the ground and held him in a stranglehold the protesters also express their solidarity with activists in ferguson the rallies there are being met by offices in combat vehicles the tear gas rubber bullets and even wooden pallets have been fied on the angry crowd meanwhile u.s. president barack obama ordered a review of military equipment used by local police and were activists from michael prysner believes that the police exercise a shoot to kill policy because they think they can get away with it. the reason that they can do this is because they know there's absolutely zero accountability
9:14 pm
police have a free pass to do whatever they want and you know that they're going to get away with it 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 happens 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 there is stare. down here is one more reason why the public is outraged with police conduct an officer in ferguson has been suspended for insulting protesters on facebook saying that and i quote they
9:15 pm
should have been put down like a rabid dog another policeman was also relieved of his duties after video emerged in which he makes racist remarks for more on the story she can go to a website. called. at least thirty five people have been killed in a string of bombings across iraq a day off to a deadly attack on a sunni mosque schools died when three explosions rocked the center of cook located in oil rich northern iraq two blasts targeted security forces while the third went off at a market entrance earlier another attack was carried out in baghdad a suicide bomber drove his car into an entrance to intelligence offices killing eleven yourselves comes the government nor to probe into friday's massacre when gunmen shot dead at least sixty eight. in the mosque it is still unclear whether the attackers were a shia militia men or fighters from the islamic state. for me mona's isis the

jihadist group is sweeping the north of iraq in syria at the moment thirty fighters are trying to hold back the onslaught of the jihadists in iraq backed by u.s. aircraft which he carrying out strikes on militant positions washington is considering expanding the strikes to syria as well meanwhile france's foreign minister has called for the flow of the militant groups financial supplies to be stemmed his appeal comes at a time when support for jihadists inside france is growing as. he explains. 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 higher while their government sends weapons to help the fight against to have a stick stream ism in iraq and is rallying world powers to help stamp out caliphate ideology it's estimated that around seven hundred french nationals have gone to
9:17 pm
become had 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 to talk more look at a few good books they concluded the troubles that you had only nineteen. through twelve people in the region that know you have at keast off for. people coming from western europe. including sure you have. all these people to go. to could create a moment between the troubles 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 radical. as through two ways simultaneously either they meet somebody through an internet shop forum or on the internet who is
9:18 pm
a 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 whole of the country's prison population many inmates come from communities blighted by poverty and unemployment and they can be easy prey for jihadists to recruit is which means that an increasing number of young men are coming in here as petty criminals drug dealers and faves but at coming out as islamic fundamentalists around a fifth of the french to haddest fighting in syria and iraq are islamic converts. the human history is. in the horses in paris people struggling to get their heads around the phenomenon thinking we do have a problem with extremism but it's a broader problem about france and integration and it's it's. it's not just
9:19 pm
a problem about. a religious problem it's also. so what is france and i think we're well she was struggling to find our identity we are friction. of this tool do going there to choose to fight it's more like you like crusade to cruise something very like a moral kind of but to be have to show this is worrying owen asleep 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 walter reed. some goals they would look to will probably hear the french government's already force islam make militants in mali and now
9:20 pm
their affairs that the rise of the islam extended to iraq could be inspiring and new generation of would be jihadists in this the european country but the largest muslim population. paris on the jihadist militants apparently have a fair number of sympathizers across the english channel as well according to reports around five hundred u.k. citizens and are fighting alongside the islamic state group in syria and iraq while some say the number is three times as high journalist jonathan steele who has written extensively on the middle east says that the british government is hesitant to take action against. one of the crucial things is that the british government turned the people who go out to fight in syria or in one sense on the same side or because there's a close to the assert government and the new form search it recently appointed mr hammond said that there was no way that britain would tolerate it would work with
9:21 pm
rid ourselves and so the british government is on the same circuit as the people who go out to fight in syria against herself and obviously you know the british government is not supporting beheading of people 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 that hesitant to prosecute these people or to. no position to assume that it's automatic. and it seems that the plans of the islamic militants extend far beyond the frontiers that the middle east in an easy place have been put on alert at the world's largest buddhist temple after a threat made by isis supporters we've got the details for you at our web site also there thirty four sailors have been dismissed after a seven year long fraud scandal at the u.s. navy's nuclear power training site you can find out why at r.t. dot com. thousands of protesters have formed
9:22 pm
a human chain across the german polish border 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 house one of the organizers of the protest shared his concern. this is a form off electricity generation which is very environmentally damaging it's the burning off coal is still sterilizing the climate which is causing a lot of human suffering burning of coal it's also pricing the air which mercury and particles and most importantly mining is destroying entire villages forests and a lot of flame and in germany we are moving towards a little tricity system based on clean renewable energies and this is entirely possible entire regions are already using one hundred percent renewable energies.
