10:08 pm
a trojan horse and even saying that the trucks were in fact artillery units however those accusations have been dismissed by many they have 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 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 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

10:12 pm
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 live 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 brandished. 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 as well can the world that america speaks with before 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 gerald 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 poor nial r.t. ferguson. the mainstream media has been accused of launching a smear campaign against michael brown prompting hundreds of protesters to march on
10:14 pm
c.n.n. headquarters in atlanta demonstrators say but the channel has focused on the slain teen's past actions in a bid to incriminate him and appended media editor danny schechter says the mainstream media is racially biased. so one thing a lot of the media people are why they don't know much about what's happening in the black community they tend to buy into a lot of the stereotypes where they don't really have good sources and on the other side a community doesn't have the same level of organization and leadership to challenge that you know when some white defendant. you know commits a crime there's a tendency to say well you're such a good boy we can't understand how this could have happened but when a young black man is in the same situation in a community where you know young black people are being criminalized and numbers this it lack of sympathy and a lack of empathy a lack of compassion
10:15 pm
a lack of understanding this is a story of how the poor in a way are also being demonized and made invisible in our society it's much much deeper than just racial in its outcome you know it may look racial but it's also economic and often that's what's not being covered in any real ways human rights watch dogs are investigating allegations that police brutality across the u.s. could be racially motivated the american civil liberties union has released a report in reaction to the violence in ferguson the group says historical issues have created a climate of racial profiling targeting the black population human rights advocates stress to the young black americans in particular are subjected to killings beatings and otherwise harassed by police even when they are doing nothing wrong.
10:16 pm
another story of over the top police actions this time in europe coming up later in the program so stay with us. a horrific video of an american journalist being beheaded by a jihad from the islamic state group has left the whole world terrified before his own killing the man who was forced to read a statement blaming the u.s. for his death and also chilling was the revelation that his killer is likely to be a radicalized britain according to media sources british intelligence has already identified and through voice recognition in the video the jihadist says that the beheading is in retaliation for u.s. airstrikes on iraq islamic state has also threatened to execute another captive american journalist if washington does not halt its operation the group has been

historic european 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 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 to play video games. so watch hollywood movies and those who are perhaps going through an identity crisis of some sort in this self promotion the islamic
10:20 pm
state has gone farther than any other jihadi group in washington i'm going to check on r.t. . the merciless islamic state a group whose speedy advance in syria and iraq remains very troubling seems to have a weak spot and that is female kurdish soldiers they're willing to fight alongside male soldiers to avenge the hundreds of women captured and killed by the jihad and it is not only their vigor that is posing a threat to the islamic state the jihadists a believe that they will not go to heaven if they are killed by a woman in battle here's a video of a group of these kurdish fighters in training they will be forming all female units to join us in combat. at least ten people were injured five of them seriously when mounted a riot police charged demonstrators in sweden on saturday now police forces trampled several people while one man was hit by a van
