this is the those kids and none shared here. eastern ukrainian cities of lugansk and done yet scar reeling from a barrage of deadly shelling attacks launched by kiev's army. this week russian trucks have brought tons of aid to people in war but the u.s. and others in the west have called this humanitarian mission an invasion of ukraine . calls for justice over the killing of an unarmed black teenager in the u.s. city of ferguson are replied to with tear gas and rubber bullets even journalists were harassed by the security forces. captain john said what's the reason for

ordering the press out what's the reason for going right out there on the premise that the president. who was rich. and as a u.s. journalist was brutally beheaded by a judge hottest who appears to be a briton we look into the p.r. campaign by the islamic state group that is prompting some e.u. citizens to join the militants. in broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow recapping the week's top stories with our weekly program this is our two international. another round of artillery strikes on the city of done yet killed two people as ukraine marked independence day on sunday earlier an eleven year old girl and her parents were killed while running into a bomb shelter on saturday night some residents say there were times when shelling

went on for more than twenty four hours with barely any breaks is trying to take over done yet sk which is a key anti-government stronghold all asleep is in the city for us this is how independence day is being marked here in didn't it's massive shelling particularly in the eastern part of the city as you can see there's something like thirteen fires that have broken out in the city just of a have a some smoke warehouse has been hit nine we walk in here you can actually see that was part of the market i think has been destroyed i mean the windows are blown away and you can see a lot of the mission dice on the ground the scary part about being here right now is that you can actually smell in the air this burning but if you do the age of brazil of musician visit here to really sort of goes against the idea that it's you know this is now the center of didn't it square in the early hours of sunday morning the local time in hospital was hit they were at least five more were fired

at the local morgue for. this is a very different mood she was trying to make you know we're not a problem in a way people showing their support for russia. right. here in lenin square people lost heading out to show factories my kids continuing military offensive they were main reason to go to see our senior to me eastern ukraine lugansk is also being attacked daily by the ukrainian government authorities maria from ocean i was lucky to escape a bound of shelling attacks while filming this report. the devastation of we worried shelling we were here last fall 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 sky being targeted fortunately when this five story apartment building was hit no word was heard by the time had happened almost all 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. and like elenor they're forced to take shelter in their basements when the shelling begins to get a deal as the good you look out at me mohammad got children look at the larger media i don't know what they're all eventually they're your buddies but i am the

hornet across the globe then your point of blowing out the real fear for the obama i don't know but being yelled at oh but i'm hanging 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 hangs heavy on the air and steam in the line of fire this is a city market and mon cher she moved here because it was. we rushed to the nearest bomb shelter and other basement. candles can still be found in the shops and they've become crucial in a city without electricity. who just asked to start it in our piece to have her. show you just minutes away from us the near constant bombardment is taking its toll on locals who have. no idea who are.

big story tells us she has little choice but to state what you usually only a couple. why don't you know where you could be thousands of refugees have pulled out of the guns to escape their recent shelling and even if they stones out to be the final assault on the city as the government in kiev claims the effects of the sustained feinstein will be felt by civilians here for many years to come. or even ocean r.t. in lugansk ukraine. now these are just some of the people who received much needed russian aid in lugansk the city has been facing a humanitarian catastrophe and even essential items are hard to get tons of food and medicine and other supplies were delivered to the guards by a convoy of russian trucks humanitarian column was stalled at the border for more than a week because kiev was reluctant to let it in the red cross was also involved in

the mission it criticized the long delay citing the terrible humanitarian situation in the city. the i.c.r.c. regrets that customs inspector inspections has 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 in the city without water. without electricity without supplies. and cut off from the rest of the world and we. it's an infrastructure. give authorities describe the crossing of the border by the russian aid convoy as a direct invasion that is despite earlier giving the green light to the mission the sentiment has been echoed by a handful of western media outlets with headlines comparing the convoy to

a trojan horse and even saying that the trucks were in fact artillery units however those accusations have been dismissed by many as hypocrisy. they have. 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. 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. it is not only ukraine's eastern that has been left to deal with the consequences of the violence this is the western ukrainian city of laval the world and soldiers were buried on tuesday 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 the national anthem. russia's journalistic community has appealed to kiev authorities and international organizations to do everything possible to save the day stan in the russian photojournalist has been missing in eastern ukraine is since august fifth various rights groups and activists around the globe have also been involved in an online campaign calling on kiev to secure his release thirty three year old stand in has worked for many international news organizations including reuters and the

associated press the international red cross has already joined the search for the missing photo journalist after his mother appealed to the committee refusing to give up all the goodies to most of them in. the beginning you'll sit down with a good mom would be schools a school didn't. have to push those to get the most to lose even to get to him with it in the else because over the base yes it is but. it appears to. be. simplistic to. heavily armed units and armored vehicles tear gas and rubber bullets authorities in ferguson missouri consider this an appropriate response to demonstrations over the killing of an unarmed teen a by a cop protesters there are calling for justice and an end to police brutality outrages echoing across the country and. 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 our own correspondent was engulfed in a cloud of tear gas so 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 hour wait let's go let's go. guys can get right in the states if i can say oh my god i did other reporters faced death threats from police. that you 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 captain john so what's the reason for ordering the press out what's the real motorcar about throwing a great look at the president but i did not try to take out i actually take my one

bar where on the river i will get on to the back of the troy the way of life holdalls was circling or walking with very little saw code for all of the photos photos and butts of the office on the side if that's so it will not be good enough he decided that he got handcuffed the real brawl to. roughly two hundred ten people have reportedly been arrested since the august tenth protests began including nineteen year old holocaust survivor hedy epstein police has and try to incite the people in ferguson of the people that come to the demonstrations. so if they become liable more violent then the police will become even more violent they 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 could be made 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 people in the streets and riot. troops and soldiers in the military on its own citizens has woken the world up that america speaks with a four tone 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 jarrin wilson should be charged with the death of michael brown a decision is expected in october but the makeup of the jury may good 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 port i am r.t. ferguson. and several thousand people gathered in new york to protest against police brutality. i see. those were the last words of eric garner a forty three year old asthmatic man who died when officers wrestled him to the ground and held him in a stranglehold he and michael brown are among six young black men who died at the hands of police of this year meanwhile a us army document that was released several months ago nearly gives the green light to the deployment of lethal response directed against civilians the paper and calls for the use of snipers small arms fire aircraft and even indirect artillery fire to crack down on what is described as an. really crowds one part of the

document stressed the need to exploit the psychological effects of such a lethal response an activist who was arrested in ferguson says officers have changed the rules of engagement to make it easier to handcuff peaceful protesters the police came at us and arrested us including coming into the crowd and well but since said these two get heavier charges not just failure to disperse there is great worry about people here continuing to stand up and demand justice and that's why the police rules and regulations are changed right now people can't stand in congregate anywhere they have to keep moving in the protest area and if they are not walking fast enough in the protests there they get threatened with arrest people who go up to 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 defiance spirit of the youth in ferguson could infect people all across the u.s. . another story of over the top of police actions this time in europe coming up after the break. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria 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. as russia and the west continue to drift apart into a new cold war russia's worldview 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.

a horrific video of an american journalist being beheaded by a jihad asst from the islamic state group has left the whole world terrified before his own killing the man was forced to read a statement blaming of the u.s. for his dad even more chilling was the revelation of it his killer is likely to be a radicalized to britain according to media sources british intelligence has already identified him that through voice recognition or in a video the jihadist says that the beheading is in retaliation for u.s. airstrikes on iraq the islamic state has also threatened to execute another count of american journalist if washington does not halt its operation the group has been effectively recruiting new members across europe thanks to a broad online p.r. campaign or to use going to church attendance for the hottest 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 clanging of the swords for. these lawmakers state has flooded social media with videos of their sadistic attacks and they were when they stormed most so many iraq to 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 side. 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 me it's all the living the usual in few years these people are able to carry arms and they would be ordered he. will remain to do with this violence. 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 keira p.s. sites in the background jihadi sympathizers or even calling for people to join the islamic state on the streets of london or using a western and a missile delivery in terms of advertisement very well islamic state finders 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 jihadi group in washington i'm going to check on r.t. . the merciless islamic state group speedy advance and see. area and iraq remains very troubling seems to have a weak spot and that is female kurdish soldiers they are willing to fight alongside

male soldiers to avenge for the hundreds of women captured and killed by the jihadists and it is not only their vigor that is posing a threat to the islamic state the jihad is to believe that they will not go to heaven if they are killed by a woman in battle there is a video of a group of these kurdish fighters training they will be forming all female units to join male soldiers in combat. at least ten people were injured five of them seriously when mounted riot police charged demonstrators in sweden on saturday police forces trampled several people while one man was hit by a van a few arrests were also made it occurred when a planned rally against a far right party spiraled out of control in the city of momo with clashes erupting between police and protesters fifteen hundred activists had gathered to disrupt a speech by the leader of a swedish neo nazi party tension mounted when firecrackers and smoke bombs were

thrown rest comes ahead of the country's parliamentary vote the chairman of the communist party of sweden told us that in his country the police can do what they like. we have seen many protests against the new nazis groups. for months and. the police don't want to you know this kind of thrill is to be disturbed so it would be a good. control in the momo case at least ten people ended up in hospital do you believe that the police will be held accountable for their actions and not is sweden police accountable for these sort of things we have seen situations similar to the. several times. and. europeans have been growing increasingly critical of. brussels decision to impose sanctions on the russian economy the move has triggered fears of considerable trade

losses as moscow in response banned a certain european foods. spanish farmers have been dumping produce in the streets and burning even flags angry over lost revenue some producers there are bracing for a sharp drop in prices due to the recently imposed russian inveigle trade unions say this will also mean significant job losses as well farmers have now been left wondering how they are going to make ends meet. not sure which i think will 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 so listen up we'll have a group we've come to a dead end well nobody cares about us except nobody cares how much money we know how are we going to support it will you do this or that or you're seeking to

neutralize any backlash from russia's food ban brussels has been offering compensation to producers european commission plans to spend one hundred twenty five million euro to help cover the losses the numbers however show that this is only a drop in the ocean as the cost to the worst hit nations is expected to be up to nine times that amount. polls have closed and as the nation it 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 is so far in front in the race according to exit polls what i've got 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 who led the protest the spring while on the other there's the form a new and soldier of the old president been seen as his successor the security services minister they've both got very similar programs and 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 cajun state as you can see the ballot boxes being empty behind me. they will be counted long into the night the turnout has been finished in this polling station alone seventy two percent of registered voters turned out supposed across the country more than fifty percent turned out of this election by the country's newest is considered legitimate now it's no surprise the residents of the high turnout given the lead up to this early election the president puts alstad after a series of protests this spring protest against corruption protest against rob and years of broken promises and coming up after the break it is worlds apart with those talks on a boyko right here on arch international stay with us. if

you look at my generation of americans and even more so at the millennium there are a lot of people with all sorts of piercings and tattoos everyone wants to express themselves by getting the exact same cliched tattoos and piercings as everyone else but can we discriminate against these people because of their and out appearance normally people are against discrimination because of punishes people for the way they were born their raise sir. gender but no one was born with big metal loops stretching out their ear lobes so essentially yes you can't judge someone by their tattoos and piercings because they got these done consciously as an adult i mean we all know that you need to dress up on a first date or job interview to make a good impression and well having the words thug life written up your forearm are

not very convincing to me that you're going to make a valuable employee or girlfriend one of the worst things that we tell children is that you should never judge a book by its cover the problem is that no one has the time to open up all these books and investigate so obviously ninety percent of the time we're going to be judging each other by the cover of our book and if that cover is full of dead fetus tattoos like one guy i know that you should expect a lot of bigoted reactions over the course of your life but that's just my opinion .

hello and welcome to worlds apart the conflict in and over here crane has pushed here into its biggest crisis in decades the economy and tree falling prey to geo political teeth for time while politicians and diplomats stick to their guns can businessman how broker a peace deal well to discuss that i'm now i'm joined by sir richard branson the founder of virgin group their return thank you very much for spending time with us . thank you for having us now you were among fifteen international business leaders who signed the statement calling for a peaceful resolution of this conflict now if you listen to politicians on all sides russia ukraine the wise they all want peace they and they accuse the other side of sabotaging all peace process and peace efforts i wonder how do you bring those politicians from simply wanting peace and wanting peace on.
