the convoy to horse and even saying that the trucks where really artillery units we asked political analyst in belgium mileage and investigative journalist neil clark about the accusations the hypocrisy here is really off the scale isn't it because it seems ok for the western powers to bomb sovereign states for humanitarian reasons but it's not ok for russia the same did a humanitarian aid convoy if russia did invade the ukraine we know about it with the way the ukraine is we're not going to allow this convoy is pretty clear they're going to find any excuse to stop it from going through and as they were doing this people are being killed and dying in the east of ukraine and that really is outrageous the double standards here this is the pinnacle of hypocrisy there it's clear that there is no invasion it's clear that the convoy is purely humanitarian and it's clear that the arrival of the convoy has a point underscored to the rest of the world that there is no invasion that the

only people suffering here are the peaceful people in eastern ukraine that their own government is trying to murder and that's a problem and so they need to divert attention from this to some sort of hypocritical talk of russian invasion doubt there would be a european aid coming into that region for them people in donetsk and lugansk there's subhumans there like the prime minister yes they're not considering these people people they're considering them rebels aggressors russians or whatever so they're not going to help them even though by their own rhetoric and by their own values they should but i don't expect that to happen at all. now they don't ashleigh across is joining the search for under a stand in a russian photojournalist who disappeared in ukraine almost three weeks ago despite an international outcry his whereabouts remain unknown and kiev insists there is no information the un the e.u. various rides groups and journalists around the globe are all demanding cave secure his release the thirty three year old stay in and has worked for many international

people who go up the cops and go hands up don't shoot get accused of rowdy provocative behavior and in some cases arrested and that reflects fear not only on the part of the local authorities but on the part of the whole system of people being subjected to this abuse which is a nationwide thing it's not just here in ferguson and they are afraid that the defiant spirit of the youth in ferguson could infect people all across the u.s. . now at least ten people were injured five of them seriously when mounted riot police charged the demonstrators in sweden on saturday police horses trampled several people while one man was hit by a van and several people were arrested a planned a rally afghans discrimination are now to party spiraled out of control in the city

as russia in the west continue to drift apart into a new cold war russia's world view of international politics is largely neglected in western media and in the halls of power russia will defend its national interest and also has its own red lines. i marinate join me. in that impartial and financial reporting commentary interview and much much. only on the bus and on. welcome back this is our to international the world was left in shock this week by the barbarian decapitation of an american journalist by jihadists from the islamic

state before being executed he was forced to denounce his country's recent air strikes an islamic state fires adding to the horror was there realisation that the man holding the blade was actually a radicalized britain the jihad is also threatened to kill another captured u.s. journalist if america continues its operation the islamic states p.r. campaign is having an impact not only in the u.k. but across europe are just going to take our reports. the hardest of these lawmakers state use all the west can offer to spread their message and not to hollywood in this hour long film featuring slow motion explosions you rocky soldiers digging their own graves and a catchy title the claiming of the swords for. these lawmakers state has flooded social media with videos of their sadistic attacks and they were when they stormed martial many iraqi soldiers fled their post apparently aware of what their fate would be if they were captured while on duty.

the islamic state has launched a sophisticated social media application which allows them to use their followers accounts to send out centrally written updates thousands of already downloaded the sample occasion released simultaneously their messages swamp social media it gives isis a far larger online reach than their own accounts would otherwise allow not only images of beheadings that militants distribute through social media but also skillfully edited promo videos showing their soft side in this one jihad is are handing out ice cream to kids another video shows an islamic state militant visiting his fellow fighters in hospital with an encouraging message. to the best medium for them to me it's all they live in the usual in few years these people are able to carry arms and they will be ordered he will remain to do with this

violence shoot to. their goal isis is also working to recruit young people all over the world bragging about their advances leaflets like these are spread through social media sometimes their call for martyrdom comes with the knowledge to popular video games like call of duty some of the images look like postcards with his story gear appeals sites in the background jihadi sympathizers or even calling for people to join the islamic state. on the streets of london or using. terms with parties that are very well islamic state fighters post photos of their day to day life on social media my first time writes one british jihadi underneath a facebook photograph of his bloody tent apparently after killing someone first of many writes a friend after images with severed heads some post pictures of their cats. state is even promoting a hipster variation of a jihadi this is

a law school graduate from cairo who before joining the isis was apparently preoccupied with his body having posted a series of photos in a gym their recruitment propaganda targets young people those who use modern gadgets who play video games and watch hollywood movies and those who are perhaps going through an identity crisis of some sort in this self promotion the islamic state has gone farther than any other jihad is group in washington i'm going to check on r.t. . now the zombie state was denounced even by al qaida for being too brutal but even these merciless killers have their eye. in the form of female kurdish soldiers they were ready to take on the islamists looking to avenge the thousands of women captured and executed by the islamic state and for the jihad is the female fighters pose a very specific threat. they believe that if you are killed by a woman there's no place in heaven for you and here's

a video of some of volunteers joining the all female units they train with and sidelong male soldiers. now russia's ban on importing certain european food in response to western sanctions has triggered concern across the block. in spain farmers tipped out crates of fruit and burnt eve flags venting their anger and brussels some producers there are bracing for a sharp drop in prices due to the recently imposed russian embargo trading in say this will also mean significant job losses and it's not just a concern of spanish farmers. i think we'll fix them so the sanctions people are very pessimistic no nobody explains to farmers what's happening they don't know what the future will hold right now we have no of the market to send produce to apart from the russian one i really disagree with the use decision to impose these

sanctions on russia it was a big mistake because we never had any problems with russia. listen we're broke we've come to a dead end nobody cares about us except gold nobody cares how much money we need how are we going to survive. now the u.s. has invited british security company g four s. to run the tory is going tobe a prison in cuba striking a deal worth more than one hundred million dollars but critics say the reputation of the world's largest security firm is far from spotless while we have looked back at some of the companies recent p.r. failures and it was supposed to maintain security at the london olympics two years ago but then supply enough personnel and exceeded its budget eight times its not too gentle when it comes to the treatment of detainees either hundreds of complaints have been made over racism and assaults and one example is when i differ taishan supervised by g. four g. four asked when wrong within a goal

a man dying while being guarded by the company and it even a managed to lose the keys to a prison in iran that left dozens of inmates traps in their cells and cost more than four hundred thousand dollars to fix and finally a u.n. watchdog blasted the firm as a military contractor for its lack of competence michael rattie from a london based anti-war group says the list goes on. well this latest contract is there's multiple levels of scandal involved over in the u.k. it's been it's admitted to overbilling the ministry of justice over a police officer euphemism for the theft but the scandals don't stop there we've we've seen. g four s. four and in australia for the deaths in custody of an aboriginal man while he's been transported there's also a death of a young fifteen year old prisoner in the last few years so there's been multiple deaths in custody they also serve israeli prisons where there are thousands of

service to the public through their programs pretty much identical both promises and then to poverty both promise more international recognition for a project and a reform a government that's been dubbed as a washing machine with the dirty money we spoke to some of the people here and they say that this time they really expect change he didn't not old enough for you so much you know we need to stop dividing by the presence of friends and this country should belong to the fold a nation not an exclusive group of people of the but it's against of these militias to we need jobs we want to feel we're living in a free country that and we don't want to wait for centuries for us to happen mcinnis the point or still people have realized we can't carry on living like this if it happens in five years a policy may cease to exist. and next in our team the latest episode of news team value came here is our special report battle for the brain.

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 no effective powers 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 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. once we use cool. the ballot.
