having the locals is all too clear every day residential areas of the city of the gonski being targeted fortunately when this five story apartment building was heat no word was heard by the time it 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. the. many of those still here high the elderly told to seek to leave. and like elenor they're forced to take shelter in their basements when the shelling begins they do as they're dug did you look out at me mohammad gov she look at the large media i don't know what that will eventually they're your buddies but i have

the hermetic across the globe get your point of blowing out videos clear for the couple barbara i know but did you know that oh by the hanging of the boat but it really angered her i was there although this is the scene in lugansk central market it was heat on monday but the smell of burning still hangs heavy in the air and steam in the line of fire this is a ghost city market and mon cher who can't prove it was. we rushed to the nearest bomb shelter in another basement. candles can still be found in the shops and they've become crucial in a city without electricity. who just about to start to live in our piece to camera. shows are just minutes away from us the near constant

trucks made their way through war torn eastern ukraine after being stalled at the border for over a week he 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 lay when the aid was so desperately needed. the i.c.r.c. regrets that customs and inspections as agreed to between the russian federation and ukraine you know sir it is where delayed by the ukrainian authorities that even any german situation there is dire. we found in the city with old water. without electricity without supplies. and cut off from the rest of the world and we as a mage is too it's an infrastructure. despite the humanitarian mission the west quickly suggests that the aid was a russian invasion and this syria was found by headlines like these comparing the

convoy to a true gin horse and even saying that the trucks were really artillery units the following was an example of the reaction to those accusations they have 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 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. 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

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. and it's not only ukraine's east that's been left to deal with the consequences of the violence this is the western ukrainian city of laval for eleven soldiers were buried and choose they died in action in the country's east family and friends gathered to pay their last respects while the coffins were carried to the sound of a national. the international red cross joined the search for understanding a russian photojournalist who disappeared in ukraine almost three weeks ago the spot an international outcry his whereabouts remain all known and kiev insists there's no information the un the e.u. various rights groups and journalists around the globe are all demanding to secure his release thirty three year old c.n.n. has worked for many international news organizations such as reuters and the

associated press this is what his mother had to say. most of. the day you know saddam was good mom would be schools a school didn't. get to get well this is the most. looked at in the ever for the place yes it is. heavily armed units 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 fired rage over michael brown's killing has echoed all across the country as marina portnoy reports. unrest driven by anger over michael brown's death carried on for

still coming in or walking with very little saw code for all of the photos photos and butts of the office on trial decided that locals were not big enough who decided that we got handcuffed the real brawl pool trejo roughly two hundred ten people have reportedly been arrested since the august tenth protest began including nineteen year old holocaust survivor hedy epstein the police has and try to incite the people in ferguson of the people that come to the demonstrations. so that if they become either a more violent then the police will become even more violent there 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 our people in the streets and riot. troops and soldiers in the military on his own citizens has woken the world up that america speaks with a fork by the end of the week police clashes and protests decreased significantly as temperatures in ferguson have heard around thirty seven degrees celsius meanwhile the st louis grand jury has already begun hearing evidence to determine if ferguson officer darren wilson is should be charged with the death of michael brown a decision is expected in october but the make up of the jury may give night a wave of backlash you 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. in new york several thousand people gathered to protest against police violence. i. and those were the last words of eric garner a forty three year old mavic who died when officers wrestled him to the ground and held him in a stranglehold he had michael braun our only two names in a long list of young black men who died at the hands of police this. this april a police officer shot down trey how milton ten times during a struggle in a park eric garner died only three months later earlier this month john crawford the third was gunned down when he picked up an air 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 dante parker was killed after

repeatedly being shocked with a stun gun on suspicion of robbery former police captain religious sees 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 right they 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 top police actions at this time back across the atlantic coming up after a short break. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria but we still should be doing everything we can to support the free syrian opposition who will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government and

kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists. and west into new sanctions against russia and obviously russia retaliated and. confrontational rather it goes on and on what do you think about sanctions that isn't a way of solving economy and business hostage to politics is russia did invade east ukraine i mean i don't think that the west still russia would try to get their lives until it's been twenty or thirty years so you know this is no easy rifle wrong but it. is better than complete.

welcome back the world was left in shock this week by the barbarous to competition of an american journalist by to harvest from the islamic state into the heart of what the realisation of the mob holding the blade was actually a radicalized britain or he's under former reports on the aftershocks the tragedy sent right around the globe. the brutal killing of an american journalist by a british citizen grizzly 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 an astute 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 deprived but it's also prompted calls by some m.p.'s for the west to rethink its

policy in syria and iraq where blood 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 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 that you had yes it is clear they do have their sympathizers and for britain still very close to home andrey farmer for london.

the islamic state was denounced even by al-qaeda for being too brutal but the merciless killers do have their achilles' heel it seems in the form of female kurdish soldiers they are ready to take on the islamist seeking to avenge the thousands of women captured and executed by the islamic state and for the jihadists the female fighters pose a very specific threat. they believe that if you're killed by a woman there's no place in heaven for you this is a video of some volunteers joining the all female units they train with and fight alongside the soldiers. at least ten people were injured five of them seriously when mounted riot police charged the demonstrators in sweden on saturday police horses trample several people while one man was hit by a van a number of arrests were also made that occurred when a planned dryly against the far right party spiraled out of control in the city of model with clashes erupting between police and protesters fifteen hundred activists

this weekend pull something close enough to see as the nation chooses a new leader who will inherit a legacy of years of rampant corruption that's brought the country to the brink the opposition leader it is so far in front in the race according to these exit polls from a lot of reports from the scene for r.t. . this election that is seen as a race between two main contenders on the one hand there's the opposition leader who led the protest the spring while on the other there's the four month loyal soldier of the old president been seen as his successor the security services minister they've both got very similar programs they both promise to lift the country out of the poll that seeks to utilize its tremendous resources and to secure more international recognition for this tiny cohesion state as you can see the ballot boxes being empty. they will be counted long into the night but turnout has been few in this polling station alone seventy two percent of
