days ago and we've returned to find guns bearing the scars of sustained attack kiev is calling this a full on assault the final stage of its military operation and the fact it's having the locals is all too clear every day residential areas of the city of look on being targeted fortunately when this five story apartment building was hit no word was heard by the time had happened almost all of the residents have already fled minutes later we come across two of the handful of people still living here and they're clearly terrified. that the. many of those still here high the elderly hold to seek to leave out to them again like elenor they're forced to take shelter in their basements

when the shelling begins to get a deal as the doc did you look out at me lo why many of children look up lashon hara. i don't know what that will eventually. i am the one that across the globe then your point of blowing out the real fear for the obama i don't know but i'll be yelled i don't know but i'm hung over the boat but it really angered her i was there although this is the scene in lugansk central market it was hit on monday but the smell of burning still not once having only air out on the street in the line of fire this is a ghost city market and mon cher like to fear groups. we rush to the first bomb shelter in other basement. candles can still be found in the shops and they've become crucial in a city without electricity. i'm just about to start for the northeast to have

her. show her just minutes away from us the near constant bombardment is taking its toll on locals. but you're right there are. big tory tells us she has little choice but to state what you nugent only a couple. not of juggling. thousands of refugees have pulled out of the guns to escape the recent shelling and even if this turns out to be the final assault on the city as the government in kiev claims the effects of this is stained fighting will be felt by civilians here for many years to come. r.t. iligan ski crane. after weeks without food and water a russian aid convoy this week finally reached desperate ukrainians who lined up to

get basic supplies the aid convoys are back in russia after unloading tons of rations are also vital medicines and less than twenty. two hundred eighty trucks made their way through war torn nation ukraine after being stalled at the border for over a week here was reluctant to let the column through citing a lack of proper checks and documentation the international red cross said it was disappointed with the delay when the aid was so desperately needed. the i.c.r.c. regrets that customs inspect inspections as agreed to between the russian federation and ukraine you know sir it is where delayed by the ukrainian authorities the many german situation there is dire. we found the city without water. without electricity without supplies. and cut off from the rest of the world and weezer demerge is to add central

infrastructure to. the spot the humanitarian mission in the west quickly suggested the aid column was a russian invasion and the hysteria was found by headlines like these comparing the convoy to a trojan horse and even saying that the trucks were really artillery units and the following was some reaction to those ickes ations 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 one 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. the international red cross has joined the search for understanding a russian photojournalist who disappeared in ukraine almost three weeks ago the spot an international outcry his whereabouts remain unknown and kiev insists there's no information the un the e.u. various rights groups and journalists across the globe are all demanding kiev secure his release thirty three year old stan and his work for many international news organizations such as reuters and the associated press this is what his mother had to say. the most in the done decouple. the beginning of

september good mom would be school the school didn't. have to push those to get the most. looked at in the else but. for the day it could be as. it appears to. be. heavily armed units and armored vehicles not a war zone but the streets of the u.s. city of ferguson where protesters calling for justice for a teen shot dead by the police have been met by security forces wielding tear gas and rubber bullets over michael brown's killing has echoed all across the country as an important i reports. unrest driven by anger over michael brown's death carried on for a second week demonstrators on the streets of ferguson once again met with tear gas rubber bullets and flash grenades freedom of the press was also under threat as

artie's own correspondent was engulfed in a cloud of tear gas right now you can see behind me look they're firing this is either tear gas all are small cannons that have also been used throughout these nights oh oh wait let's go let's go. some guys can get the states affected saying oh my god i did other reporters faced death threats from police. oh yes i have i have here. in the seat louis city the first amendment was confined to a media pan and at least six journalist were arrested for attempting to do their job health insurance what's the reason for ordering the press out what's the reason for going right about the regular break that the president did not try to take out iran's leader who are on the river on the ground there are going to try to lay my photos was silicon living in a walking with very little saw code for all of the photos photos and lots of the office and draw it decided that's going to be good enough for you you decided that

you got turned off the real world pool. roughly two hundred ten people have reportedly been arrested since the august tenth protests began including nineteen year old holocaust survivor hedy epstein the police has and try to incite the people in ferguson of the people they come to the demonstrations. to or if they become live a more violent then the police will become even more violent that will be their excuse criticism surrounding heavy handed police tactics deepened wednesday when a few miles from ferguson another black man who allegedly shoplifted from a store was shot dead by white police officers may powell was brandishing. a knife but instead of using a taser or other nonfatal methods cops fired nine shots into the twenty five year old the militarization of america's law enforcement has made front page news around the world critics say arming local cops with war weapons fuels

a more aggressive type of policing that lacks accountability the ugly images of america's militarized police and beating i will people in the streets and riot. troops and soldiers in the military on his own citizens as well can the world that america speaks for by the end of the week police clashes and protests decreased significantly as temperatures in ferguson have around thirty seven degrees celsius meanwhile the st louis grand jury has already begun hearing evidence to determine if ferguson officer darren wilson should be charged with the death of michael brown a decision is expected in october but the makeup of the jury may give night a wave of backlash to see nine white people and only three black people were chosen as jurors the on even representation may spark a new feeling of injustice causing the public to accuse the process of being bias

in a poor nial r.t. ferguson. while in new york several thousand people gathered to protest against police violence. i. those were the last words of eric garner a forty three year old us about it died when officers wrestled him to the ground and held him in a strangle hold he and mike o'brien are only two names in a long list of young black men who died at the hands of police this year. this april a police officer shot down tree hummel ten ten times during a struggle in a park eric garner died only three months after that earlier this month joan crawford the third was gunned down when he picked up an early rifle from a shop shelf in ohio also in august this mentally ill man was shot dead despite acting in compliance with police orders and down to a park or was killed after repeatedly being shocked with a stun gun on suspicion of robbery former police captain ray lewis says the actions

of officers infuriated the public just like in ferguson. the fact that the police chief jackson took several days to come out with any information and identifying the officer is outrageous when something like this happens then information has to be given to the public as quickly as possible when he came out with the information about who the officer was what he did was he made michael brown look like a thief in the community saw that exactly for what it was and they were outraged now after that they bring in the military cops. dress these are individuals as occupying officers their armored from head to toe and when you bring when you dress officers like an occupying army they act like an occupying army and we all know what happens in other countries that we have occupied atrocities are

committed. another story of over the police actions of this time in europe coming up after a short break. and west into new sanctions against russia and obviously russia every tally. confrontational rather it goes on and on what do you think about science sense that isn't a way of solving economy and business hostage to politics is russia did invade east ukraine i mean i don't see it the way still russia would trade and that's an.

easy right the wrong but it definitely exemptions better than complete. it's like you know when the bullets to start because it's like duck duck duck that's a backpack that. long so it's almost like there's a bee the blue and then you just see the big sound it's like a bass. this is that we can r.t. welcome back the world was left in shock this week by the barbarous to capitation of an american journalist by harvest from the islamic state adding to the horror

was the realisation that the man holding the blade was actually a radicalized briton artie's under a form reports on the aftershocks the transit he sent right around the globe. the brutal killing of an american journalist by a british citizen grisly footage posted online showing james foley beheaded by an islamic state militant his execution a speaking in english with an english accent blaming recent days strikes by america in iraq we are in a slum in on a state that has been accepted by a large number of muslims worldwide it prompted the british prime minister to cut short his holiday while ten downing street called the brutal murder shocking and to pray for but it's also prompted calls by some m.p.'s to the west to rethink its policy in syria and iraq we reply supplied some stuff in public communication to these people all of these people got a hold of this predominantly. types of niceness type who are now turned into

a formidable force however foreign secretary philip hammond made it very clear there will be no change in britain's approach but i reject any suggestion that british foreign policy is providing any kind of excuse for what i salute doing i still has a poisonous ideology we will support moderate. secular democratic oppositions to murderous dictatorships whether it's i sill all whether it's the assad regime in syria but the brutal murder of james foley has raised other all good questions for the government namely the growing number of britons fighting alongside jihadists around four hundred thought to have taken up arms in syria and iraq and some experts believe it's a tide that will be difficult to reverse the counter extremism units have not been very effective and the reason they're not very effective is because they're dealing

in a framework which they cannot change they cannot change the social situation of many young minority brits in this country they cannot change the foreign policy of great britain and given the. limitations it's unsurprising that they have been unable to fix the situation on their own last year britain was shocked by the horrific killing of british soldier lee rigby outside his london barracks hacked to death by two u.k. nationals who converted to islam and claimed they were avenging the deaths of muslims killed by british forces but despite the outrage that followed hundreds of britons have continued to join the islamic state while there's been widespread condemnation of the jihadists it is clear they do have their sympathizers and for britain still very close to home. andry farmer. london. the islamic state is considered a primary threat by the u.s. partly dangerous enough for washington to join sides with former enemies according to media reports america has been giving intelligence to syria about the location

of islamic state militants operating in the war torn country despite the west publicly dismissing the possibility of joining forces with damascus political analysts martin mccauley thinks eventually the west will have to talk to syria's president assad. iraq is one game. and sooner or later they'll have to take on the. syria so therefore what are they do do they actually unite with. a gauge the years in syria or do they fight against. syria sooner or later they'll have to come to some agreement because. he's really on their side who's opposed to islamic state. america's opposed to islamic state. so therefore it seems sooner or later will

be some kind of agreement that is in fact. he's our friend because the enemy of our enemy is our friend. at least ten people were injured five of them seriously when mounted riot police charged that demonstrators in sweden on saturday police horses trampled several people while one man was hit by a fan several people were arrested it occurred when a planned rally against the far right party spiraled out of control in the city of malmo with clashes erupting between police and protesters fifteen hundred activists had gathered to disrupt a speech by the leader of the swedish new nazi party tension mounted when firecrackers and smoke bombs were thrown the an arrest comes ahead of the country's parliamentary vote. and the chairman of the communist party of sweden told us that in his country the police can do what it likes i. have seen many protests against the new nazis groups three or four months. the police don't want to

you know this kind of relish to be disturbed so. well in the momo case at least ten people ended up in a hospital do you believe that the police will be held accountable for their actions and that. is weird and they're never police accountable for these sorts of things we have seen situations similar to this several times. and again. russia's ban on important certain european food in response to western sanctions has triggered concern across the continent. in spain farmers crates of fruit and burnt e.u. flags venting their anger at brussels some producers there are bracing for a sharp drop in prices due 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. john 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 but 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 called nobody cares how much money we need how are we going to survive. the us planning to kushan a blow with up to one hundred twenty five million euro in compensation for bit users the numbers however show this is only a drop in the ocean as the costs to the worst hit nations is expected to be up to nine times out of mind. the u.s. has invited british security company g four s. to run the notorious guantanamo bay 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 but we've looked back at some of the companies recent p.r. failures that was supposed to maintain security at the london olympics for example two years ago but didn't 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 one example is when a deportation supervised by g four s. went wrong with an on goal in mind dying or being guarded by that company it even managed to lose the keys to a prison that round that left dozens of inmates trapped 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 common sense and michael reilly from a london based on the war group's ace the list goes on on and. well this lady's contract is there's multiple levels of scandal involved oh really it's been

submitted to overbilling the ministry of justice over believe is obviously a euphemism for the theft but the scandals don't stop there we've we've seen. g four s. find in australia for the death in custody of a aboriginal man while you've 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 so they also serve israeli prisons where there are thousands of palestinians killed many of them children. in guantanamo bay they're obviously maintaining destruction now in defiance of the geneva conventions polls have closed in abkhazians the nation chooses a new leader who will inherit a legacy of years of rampant corruption that's brought the country to the brink there are reports from the scene for r.t. this election is seen as a race between two main contenders on the one hand there's the opposition leader

and then the protests the spring while on the other there's the former loyal soldier of the old president and seen as his successor the security services minister they both look very similar programs that both promised to lift the country out of poverty to utilize its tremendous resources and to secure more international recognition for this tiny caucasian state as you can see the ballot boxes being empty behind me. they will be counted long into the night the turnout has been in this polling station the seventh you said the bridge the building and dogs it was across the country more than fifty percent turns out so this election by the country's laws is considered legitimate now it's no surprise the residents of the high turnout given the need up to this early election the president would alstad after a series of protests this spring protest against corruption protest against. and years of broken promises. coming up after the break oksana boyko looks at how the

geopolitical tedford between russia and the west is affecting european business. trust me i like video games you could tell from my physique but they like all media can distort reality in the minds of kids and one swedish journalist in something very unusual to step his kids back into the real world journalist carl magnus held grandson seemed almost addicted to the legendary military first person shooter game call of duty so since they like killing people online with guns he decided to take them to the gaza strip to show them what war is all about mr helder and brought his boys to a refugee camp where they could see injured kids just like themselves getting their wounds to stop they got to see all the blood and tears apparently this in your face

method of parenting works and his children have stopped their online war this strategy might sound a little extreme and we're all very expensive i can't afford to fly my family to israel to prove a point but sometimes we all the to be smacked in the face with reality as a man there's something attractive about roman conquests our ranks of musket fire and a pulley on a conflict those images are nice but the reality is blood and death and if more kids could have the same experience as a healthier and family well we might have less war mongers around but that's just my opinion. slapping in america because every single day jamie diamond victim that is the american economy shows up the bloody mary did you know that and they're saying oh it wasn't me this time it wasn't me that this time. he loves me and the rest the world thinks.
