a combination we're doing everything we can for the people there and you know that that's what we're not going to let them in here in crisis it happens. it's now for an on the anti-government fighters to make sure cities under siege get supplies our first stop is this bread factory they've been baking this bread for the last twelve hours a day and a half thousand give money for everybody knows that this is all humanitarian aid for example one hundred people look at el grande it's further off but it's not so pretty driving into yesterday twenty kilometers outside of the nets where some of the fiercest fighting is taking place just take off an hour ago missiles hit in the street a man was killed a woman injured yesterday they hit the central gas boy every hour there was shooting with shelling while you were here you will hear it all. would quickly spades that helps arrived those who haven't fled the town risk the thunder of

shelling to come quickly and take what they can. hear. that you want other villages he is the one was the most. difficult or you know you are not going to share your schemes the gloom i just was wondering tonight you spent all of it in the shadow over the marriage and really started yet but you're still revealing it was well you're pretty. if. you. feel there should be certainly be a victory for the government but you have no call the order but lenient on the laws there were two or three days ago this bridge was still standing entire buildings have been blown up neighborhoods completely destroyed this can bother them they're terrorists but even they know it's a school and as you can see by the craters they were specifically targeting the

hospital they tried to destroy the place where the children injured are being treated they want to create chronic unbearable additional so that people leave the doors but for now with the emergency supplies still reaching the city at least there is momentary relief for the people who refused to be driven out policy r.t. yes in a vata eastern ukraine. i made the war of words between russia and the west over events in ukraine president vladimir putin and petro poroshenko will meet later on tuesday more on that without to say we're not going to go. they haven't seen each other since june and even then very briefly on the sidelines of the d.-day celebrations in france that meeting was the first and only since president poroshenko was inaugurated at the beginning of this year ended war little fruit still expectations for world war today speaking ahead of the summit russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that moscow is ready for negotiations in any

format as long as there is a result what could be on the table are the discussions concerning the fate of the hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing from donetsk and lugansk into russia as well as moscow's humanitarian aid to the suffering civilians in those regions also in the form reports say that most go and see if could renew their stalled gas talks and that would explain why there is the new energy change in attendance on the guest list what is expected from this meeting is a possible easing of tensions between russia and ukraine at least what moscow could be expecting from this is to see some sort of a cease fire that would hold long enough to provide a permanent solution to the crisis in southeastern ukraine. right now two more journalists who were detained in ukraine have been released and they were a correspondent for a crimea newspaper unfortunately there's still no word on the missing photojournalist. who disappeared three weeks ago in ukraine numerous campaigns for

his release to be held across the globe backed by calls from the un russia and international human rights organizations and we are posting updates on the. going on our web site. thanks for joining us today the american president has approved the surveillance of islamic state targets on terror treach the group was occupied in syria a precursor for potential last strikes however the move comes amid mounting speculation that washington may now actually have to work with bashar al assad if indeed it wants to eliminate the jihadist threat more on this without cheese guy nature. there is no love lost between the west and the syrian president but while their enemies today they could meet each other tomorrow top former military and counterterrorism officials say the u.s. should be prepared to start working with the government of bashar assad in order to

fight the islamic state if you're going to make a choice if we want to eliminate this isis we're going to have to deal with people we don't like in a similar vein the former head of the british army was quoted as saying. the old saying my enemy's enemy is my friend is going to have some resonance with our relationship with. but those are former officials speaking the current ones reject the prospect of cooperation with the syrian government the regime there the assad regime by their actions has allowed this group to flourish. the claim has raised many eyebrows given that the islamic state is hell bent on destroying the assad government and has gained momentum in the syrian civil war despite its differences with the west damascus now says it's ready to cooperate when it comes to fighting terrorism but that any efforts must be quartered ate with the assad government. well after years of trying to topple bashar assad and it's time for assad to get

out of the way we both agree that assad needs to go it may not be easy for the u.s. to be seen cooperate with him but while the west's deliberates over going after the two hardest of these on the state in syria the issue becomes even more pressing well we're going to have to say something to the syrian government if we're going to start bombing in syria and the west may have already started helping us secretly a source told the independent that western intelligence agencies have provided the syrian government with details of the location of islamic state leaders targeted air strikes the source claims the information was passed to assad forces by the german intelligence service which acted as an intermediary even if there's a temporary act of convenience some sharing of intelligence which is an unproven i believe the united states is still looking primarily to overthrow the assad government imagine the president of the united states coming out and saying i know i said assad is the enemy number one and all that but today well we may have to

work together that may not be an easy thing to swallow for the presidential ego but it deal in cooperation could say many lives in washington i'm going to check out. our still to come here on our team international the teenager killed by a police officer is laid to rest and public anger strong. just a bit later in the program we report on the iron fist police tactics being used against the protests in america. now the final debate between the two sides of the scottish independence campaign has been held the referendum will take place in mid september in a culture of who was watching the televised faceoff and now joins me live here on the program good morning to you marina so who came out on top. good morning rory well if we can second look at the numbers it appears that this time around there was a dramatic turnaround and alex salmond scotland's first minister managed to turn things

around for himself and according to the snap poll and the results seventy one percent of voters thought that he came out on top and alistair darling receiving just twenty nine percent of the votes now when it comes to the whole topic is this cost of course we have the future of nuclear weapons or oil revenues as well as the currency let's not forget that last time alice the darling had challenge salmond over issues support example the future of the economy as well as the future of the pound and this time it appears that mr solomon was more prepared to answer those questions and he offered the currency options that would be suitable but he said it would be best to stick to the pound and also he actually managed to get alistair darling to admit that scotland would be able to use that to the pound as a water need to get permission from the u.k. to do that but then alison dolling head back saying that this would in fact leave scotland at the mercy of a foreign country to limit how much it could spend for example like yours on countries which have to put their budgets to be signed up by brussels well this is

a very important day because seven hundred thousand postal voters will receive their ballots and this is in fact a fifth of scotland's electorate so there will be making their decision why after just hours after there's the votes of place and as we said seventy one percent of all voters according to the snap poll scotland's first minister up top for the yes vote. live from london also use more in a quarter of a thanks for that and i thank you for joining us here on the program today we're back in just a moment with more of the world's top. 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 we will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government and kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists.

in full scope becoming independent schools a nation that nation should be self-governing govern the feels better that allows someone else to do it full. school basic right to. own a pullin to be. much more interesting teaching every minute. some time a no no law no weapon. of my own life but. most of us think that's setting all time. most cases to most elite moments.

sometimes for nothing which. is silly and simple. it's not just keep up the story kids will be just if you see a stage eight look to be with the teacher because it's. about a quarter past ten in the morning here in moscow thanks for joining us now the f.b.i. is investigating a tape that allegedly recorded the killing of an unarmed black teenager by a policeman in the u.s. town of ferguson two weeks ago michael brown was laid to rest on monday and calls for justice over the shooting refused to fade away across the whole country there are been protests against that of police brutality and there are more expected to

take place today a marina with details now. thousands braved the boiling temperatures monday patiently waiting to enter a st louis church inside a three hour funeral service for the young man whose name and story has dominated international headlines more than two weeks after michael brown was shot and killed by a police officer he is finally laid to rest his family and friends get the chance to say goodbye but what this community has not yet received are the answers to the analyst questions surrounding the death of the unarmed teenager the white officer who shot at least six bullets into the african-american eighteen year old remains on paid administrative leave while state and federal prosecutors investigate. the police killing fueled nearly two weeks of violent protests in which heavy handed actions of a militarized u.s. police department shocked the world tear gas rubber bullets flash grenades and

death threats. that they're used against mostly on armed activists and journalists. were dragnets out of the country i'm working the computer to mannheim so i've been involved in shootings i could tell you the amount of force that was an excessive amount of force and it happens everywhere everywhere around the world to stay citizens are being encouraged to take to the streets for an international day of action demanding an end to police brutality and unchecked state violence the campaign is called hands up united the tear gas of the is unfair they're also using a broad right and a lot of people were even comparing ferguson torsos but those were so shouldn't be that pilot anyway right like it's not ok for to ask the user gets citizens in the u.s. decide ok in other countries either so we're calling on communities and citizens across the world to sort of push back together at the same time because none of us

deserve that kind of treatment from the state teargassed was banned in more fair under the chemical weapons. convention of one thousand nine hundred three however it was not banned from police forces to use domestically. one americas the enforcement only fires the chemical on its own people it remains the top supplier of tear gas to governments around the world tuesday's international call for action as a united everyone wants a b m c that's a great show of solidarity because it will put pressure on our leaders on everyone to know that hey everyone's watching you we see you we're not going to allow this to keep going like this cornelius flowers says the tragic reality is that the use of chemical weapons against unarmed demonstrators is becoming the new norm practiced and promoted by american officials we were out the other night i'm standing out and somewhat prepared and he had a bag you know pull out a gun he put out a gas mask and he said that are you prepared and that's crazy that's crazy that's

what preparation it is a gas mask the police shooting of michael brown sparked a palpable sense of anger and frustration extending far beyond the borders of ferguson and all the country beats for justice and accountability america's police practices remain under heavy scrutiny. r.t. for. some police officers have being called openly using racial comments during the michael brown protests a political columnist ted rall believes the approach of the predominantly white police force in ferguson made the rallies inevitable. what we're talking about is a powder keg that was ready to explode we're talking about a predominantly black community that had been harassed and abused by a predominantly white police force for many many years and in a city that had declining economic status for most people who lived in it and so it was only a matter of time before something happened to set that off michael brown may or may

not be an angel will probably never going to really know the truth there he's dead he can't speak for himself but in a sense it doesn't really matter what matters is that the overall situation that created those riots was going to create a riot from something at some point. as always we have many more stories waiting for you right now online including anonymous strikes again the hacker group has taken sides in the gaza conflict targeting israeli government websites more on that right now on our web site also if you have one of your very own town it could be a lucky day for sale in a bog and the whole town could be yours for very little pick up a story. and i think.

thanks for joining us on c international for you this morning on a bit of notice that social networks have been flooded with thousands of people posting photos and videos of themselves getting doused in ice cold water everyone from bill gates to george w. bush have taken part in the stunt to promote awareness of. motor neuron disease. but in the arab world though the idea has been adopted with people instead getting covered in stones and. the bucket this is me that remains

a bucket challenge was actually created in support of the child victims in the gaza conflict the campaign was started by a palestinian journalist who said the shortage of water forced him to be creative and we spoke to mahmoud that i was a he was taken part of the campaign about this message. we've organized a campaign called we have hope for children in gaza in order to support victims in the region these children are getting shelled in their houses with the roofs crumbling over the heads i want to share this picture with the world that people not only in the arab world will feel the pain of the children and people of gaza are to some of the international headlines and brief us jump into the bed now we'll start with iran for the wreckage of a downed drone could be seen near an iranian nuclear site in. it's been identified as a hermes four fifty which is a known israeli model although there were no visible israeli markings in the

footage the israeli army has declined to comment iran says that its forces fired a missile at the drone as it was approaching a uranium enrichment facility. more than one hundred twenty health workers have died of ebola across west africa or the world health organization says an unprecedented number of medical staff have been affected officials from the democratic republic of congo say a second separate outbreak of the deadly virus has been detected in the country almost fifteen hundred deaths have already been recorded mostly most of them coming though from liberia nigeria guinea and sierra leone. iraq has been hit by another wave of bombings at least fifteen people killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up as worshippers left a mosque in baghdad in karbala an explosion killed fifteen civilians and. two car bombs went off in separate. killing eleven now this year iraq is faced

rising levels of violence from islamic state and other sunni fighters. now reigning formula one champion sebastian vettel has become the first f one driver to test the new race track in the russian city of sochi his mission to the circuit the full the first of a russian grand prix show jewel to take place this october but old sat behind the wheel of a premium class sportscar instead of a typical f one car he praised the racetrack which offers the chance to drive next to the venues made for the twenty fourteen winter really. hard to london we go away gang crime looks to be falling but communities are now worried about a different kind of violence taking place. reports. gang crime and shocking scenes like these were becoming rarer in london cheatings it for them by half in stabbings by a third over the last two years but community leaders a nice sounding the alarm over recent upturn in violence and ironically some blame

operation trident a police game relaunch to tackle gangs after the london riots in twenty eleven what tried have done taken out many of the low low level tear apart soldiers that used meat on the street and in the small amount of drugs let the boy and the people are fighting over it out for it and the people who are now stepping into that void are more violent than the one that it's a concern borne out in recent crime figures in parts of north london knife crime has risen by thirty percent in the last twelve months while the turf wars have been sparked by the vacuum left after active gang members were jailed community project leader sheldon thomas runs anti gang schemes in the capital and says there needs to be a change in policy the government can't just say right let's increase the number of police because that's going to make a difference because the police are not respected by some communities so the answer

to this is to strengthen communities but that says the match is exactly what it's been doing it frequently visit schools and a long list of foundations aimed at diverting youth away from gangs and has reached over twenty thousand youngsters in t.v.'s we've been really clear that you don't solve a problem like a crime by police action alone it's really about understanding what are the things that causes a young person to get into a gang what are the things that would get them to leave a gang and of course there are things that the police are not expert in things like addressing mental health concerns keeping people opportunities for employment of training those are things of the rest of london needs to join together and i think we've seen some success in that. success though that's been hamstrung by cutbacks even him ducasse has worked hard to fight gang culture in london's could communities. due to a third of the measure of funding to community groups charities willing to

introspect is reduced dramatically so i think government needs to find the thing twice for coming this is a key issue as well. there is no doubt that london's gangs have been weakened since the riots of twenty eleven but the long term wisdom of projects like operation trident and i being questioned putting offenders and along came a bring down crime but there is a concern that that would just be temporary a more work needs to be done in communities to stop gang culture andree fama say. but we're back in half an hour's time with the rest of the world's top headlines we'll see what shaking then and i'll go up next a documentary looking at how for some people their lifetime passes and just the blink of an eye this is. 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 search 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 are going to make a valuable employee or girlfriend one of the. first 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 . your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't. call it different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tense tear jerking poetry keep calm norris. we post only what really matters at r.t. to your facebook news feed. my name is timing it right is and i have a ph d.

in mathematics i'm in mathematician and i also blogger and i write about this week gender madness. i will devote this documentary in parts to my grandmother that passed away two years ago because she loved russia and she's in heaven now but she would want me to do this that's why i think about yesterday am i doing the right thing should i do to should i expose the gender madness or not but my grandmother a mother would want me to do this. for you to go just to get my brain function.
