a russian invasion and the hysteria was found by headlines like the comparing the convoy to a trojan horse and even saying that the trucks really are to re units there was some reaction to those 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 ukraine we know about it would only the ukrainians 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 to underscore to the rest of the world that there is no invasion that the

welcome back to the program the world was left in shock this week by the barbarous decapitation of an american journalist by jihad us from the islamic state before being executed he was forced to deny his country's recent earth strikes on islam fighters into the horrible us the realisation that the man holding the blade was actually a radicalized britain that you how to salsa threaten to kill another captured us journalist if america continues its operation be a sonic states p.r. campaign is having an impact not only in the u.k. but across europe as artie's gynae chicken 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

most or 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 sore handing out ice cream to kids another video shows an islamic state militant visiting his fellow fighters in hospital with an encouraging message kids. of the best medium for them to need all the living the usual in few years these people are

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. . the islamic state was denounced even by al qaida for being too brutal but even these merciless killers have their achilles heel it seems in the form of female and kurdish soldiers they are ready to take only islamists looking to avenge the thousands of women captured and executed by the islamic state and for the job as the female fighters it was a very specific threat. they believe that if you're killed by

believes that in his country the police can do what it likes. we have seen many protests against the new nazis groups. for months. the police don't want. to be disturbed. to seize control while in the case at least ten people ended up in a hospital do you believe that the police will be held accountable for their actions and. is weird and there never a police accountable for these sort of things we have seen situations similar to the. several times. and in. russia importing certain european foods in response to western sanctions has triggered concern across the continent. in spain farmers tipped i crates of fruit on burned flags venting their anger at brussels some producers there are bracing for a sharp drop in prices choose to the recently imposed russian embargo trade unions

say this will also mean significant job losses and it's not just a concern for 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 other 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. china is hosting record breaking military games with russia online read about the largest ever anti terrorist drills involving some seven thousand troops tanks helicopters and fighter jets. tens of thousands of new jobs fully renewable energy and free higher education

that's the ambitious platform of a new party new zealand founded by kim dotcom notorious activists dubbed by supporters as the country's newest superhero head tortie dot com for all the details. wiki leaks co-founder julian assange has dropped another bombshell this week but his latest revelation actually concerned his two year of voluntary confinement in the ecuadorian embassy in london. but. the. the british authorities are threatening to extradite a sons to sweden the moment he steps outside the embassy he's wanted there over accusations of sexual assault but the whistleblower denies the allegations and fears that he will end up in the hands of the u.s. which is hunting him in connection with his revelations so why would he leave now or according to his associates it's to to a new law that bans extradition without charges. what's happened here which hasn't

been widely reported but it's certainly important is that the laws 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 difficulty is that he's never been charged i can confirm that he is ready to leave the embassy as soon as the police presence here is called off in the u.k. authorities decide to give him safe passage to ecuador. which of course the up lies to the border to international agreements that they have signed. pulls up close and the nation chooses a new leader who will inherit a legacy of years of rampant corruption that's brought the country to the brink artie's been listening to the hopes of the citizens who have seized their chance to make a change if you do not hold mostly as much as you we need to stop dividing of imposed

into friends and foes this country should belong to the whole nation not an exclusive group of people of the because of these militias to do we need jobs we want to feel we're living in a free country and we don't want to wait for centuries for us to happen my goodness the people have realized we can't carry on living like this if it happens in five years upon to me cease to exist. a quick check on headlines and brief from around the world now starting in the gas a strip authorities in california have declared a state of emergency will get to the gaza strip in just a moment excuse me after an earthquake hit the san francisco bay area it's the largest in a quarter of a century nearly ninety people have been injured three of them critically there's been significant damage to buildings and public facilities nearly seventy thousand homes have been left without power. and in the gaza strip the place five people have been killed in a fresh series of this really rare strikes three large buildings and several

vehicles were also destroyed on saturday has really strikes killed ten palestinians mostly women and children the number of people killed in gaza surpassed the twenty one hundred mark this weekend. after the break we followed several young men on their journey to fulfill their dream and join russia's special forces in the u.k. we take a closer look at the child vaccine debate currently ongoing in the u.s. . just the other week on the program we discussed how it's technically illegal 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 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 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 prison sees have used the constitution as toilet paper does not make it somehow invalid at night but that's just my opinion. to flapping in america because every single day jamie diamond victim that is the american economy shows up in bloody great did you know that and they're saying oh it wasn't me that it was in t.v. .
