the shell shocked population of eastern ukraine struggling to find food all water in their room. follows the government forces who are bringing relief to. this. meeting between the president. as the u.s. president approved. fighting in syria. could suddenly become a pressing issue for washington. just a few weeks ahead of independence referendum. yes. crushing victory in the

final debate between the leaders of both. a very warm welcome to you from all of us here. well headlines for this hour the ukrainian army continuing in eastern ukraine the forces pushing on with the operation to crush the government soldiers of several villages outside on the very latest to be hit show you footage of a church that came during the evening mass you can see how severely damaged it is barely any roof most of the walls have been turned into rubble. if you choose to should be you know how do you decide to do you know. is it for you the crimea

teacher of any. new school some of them duty. military officials in kiev say they have detained a dozen russian soldiers who crossed into ukraine at night source and russia's defense minister has reportedly confirmed they went over the border by mistake during a routine patrol layers in the region are joins us live here on the program up paula good to see you what can you tell us about this latest incident. well it's also russia's interior ministry has said that russian soldiers who were patrolling the russian ukrainian border at night and intentionally crossed over into ukrainian territory they did not resist when they were detained the important point to make is that this happened at night when it is difficult if not impossible to tell exactly where this border line is often the border will go through a forest or even a field i want to make the point though that on several occasions ukrainian

soldiers themselves have crossed over into russian territory there was one incident when two armored vehicles crossed over and at that stage the crew did try to escape at the beginning of august that was just over four hundred ukrainian troops who crossed over into russian territory they were reportedly seeking sanctuary so this is a very difficult situation and very volatile along the russian ukrainian border paula as you say it's a volatile situation it's also difficult to tell exactly what's always going on there as you say the border can be in a field of a forest you name it but again you know all of this is happening in a war zone where a key of anti government forces continue to battle each other so it's a tough situation there. it certainly is a tough situation this incident happened in eastern ukraine where we see some of the fiercest fighting between the anti-government fighters and the ukrainian army we witnessing here almost daily shelling and certainly also a humanitarian crisis where people particularly those on the frontline are still

without water without basic supplies without medicines we caught up with a group of anti-government fighters who went to the front line and risk their lives to bring some of those emergency supplies to people who are caught there in the siege. these men have seen some of the worst fighting in this conflict but there's one thing they find even worse was trying to destroy the local population their own people basically those who survived kiev's onslaught are slowly starving for four long weeks residents of yassin ovata have been without food and water the only way in or out is surrounded by heavy artillery believes there was war this will be. an issue we're doing everything we can sort of people there have been our food we're not going to let you in here in crisis happen it's now foreign on the antigovernment 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 and a half thousand blows give money for everybody knows that this is all humanitarian purposes one hundred people look at our bread it's perfect. but it's not so pretty driving into yes. twenty kilometers outside of the next where some of the fiercest fighting is taking place just like 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 shelling while you were here you will hear it all. would quickly sprague's that helps arrived those who haven't fled the town risk the thunder of shelling to come quickly and take what they can. read your mother she want other villages he is the mothers of the most there are some odd reason you know or you know you are not going to share your schemes that room i just was wondering tonight it's very all of you here the crowd over to

marriage and really started yet there was no real deal it was well. if. you. mumble billions here less would be certainly a victory for the government oh yes no it will be all good but leaving it on the nose never ordered three days ago this bridge was still standing entire buildings have been blown up neighborhoods completely destroyed here but now if this can bother them they're terrorists what is that even they know it's a school and all you can see by the crate is they were specifically targeting the hospital they tried to destroy the place where children injured are being treated they want to create panic so unbearable additional so that people leave the doors but for now with the emergency supplies still reaching the city at least there was momentary relief for the people who refused to be driven out policy r.t.

yes in a vata eastern ukraine. and i made the war of words between russia and the west over vents in ukraine everyone hopes that a meeting between president vladimir putin and petro poroshenko could ease the crisis the thing is the meeting may or may not happen either to a current lee bell or russian capital meant for joint russia ukraine e.u. talks. we 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 the world for 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 unconfirmed reports say that most pro and key of could renew their stalled gas talks and that would explain why there is the e.u. energy chief in attendance on the guest list what is expected from this meeting is a possible ease 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. now we spoke to a political analyst and. he believes it won't be easy for putin a poor showing go to find common ground simply because of the outside factors that are shaping ukraine's politics. neither put a shame cork has a great deal of leeway in the proceedings he has solved for a military solution in the east and he cannot backtrack on that one without losing

credibility with his base particularly in the west of the country but the elephant missing from the room if you will is john kerry in victoria nuland because if he is the brother family that there will be european throwing in attendance from brussels where is the real policy and be adjourned for fear is being drawn up in washington d.c. it is not in the interest of moscow to prolong this conflict but at the same time the hardline from kier of supported unfortunately by some of the worst elements in the country such as the right sector and. the suborder party do not bode well for a political solution if there is the readiness in the west to prompt in the direction of a political solution we indeed could have it in minsk. every move was analyzed

during putin and poroshenko is first encountered two months ago in france and today will be much the same here when r.t. international will be very closely following the discussions all throughout the day . for the meantime here on our team international to more journalists who were detained in ukraine have been released they were a correspondent on photographer for a crimea based newspaper and fortunately there's still no word on the missing photo journalist under a stone and he disappeared in ukraine now three weeks ago and numerous campaigns for his release have been held across the world backed by calls from the un russia and international human rights organizations and we're posting updates on the search for understand in via our web site. it's all to international american drones will soon be flying over the syrian airspace surveilling the position of islamic state militants that are the move was

approved by the american president making it a possible precursor for asterix however washington made this decision without any approval whatsoever from the syrian government is still officially considers assad to be an enemy and now there's mounting speculation that the u.s. will eventually have to work with the syrian president if he wants to eliminate the shihad his threat is oxys guy in a church account 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 his differences with the west damascus now says it's ready to cooperate when it comes to fighting terrorism but that any efforts must be courted made it with the 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 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 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 saudis 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 but it deal and cooperation could say many lives in washington i'm going to check out. our still to come international the teenager killed by a police officer is laid to rest but still a strong as ever just a bit later in the program here we were called on the iron police tactics being

used against the protests across america. the arab world except a new challenge using the rubble to promote peace and awareness of the child victims of the call. for now in the program the final televised debate between the two sides of the scottish independence campaign has been held by the referendum set to take place in mid september. she was watching the leaders for. very loud in the very fiery debates in which both men gave it their all but it appears the victory is in alex salmond's hands in favor of independence according to a snap poll some seventy one percent of voters thought he came out on top which is a dramatic turnaround for scotland so first minister let's not forget that last time he was challenged over issues such as the future of the skull loans economy and the future of the power of this time he came prepared to give his currency

options offering three plan b.'s in fact something which he kept repeating but saying that sick into the pound would that now they had all the better together campaign alice a darling head back saying that that would leave scotland at the mercy of a foreign country how to spend its money just like eurozone countries which have to get their budget. deals. you don't have a central bank so our financial services can exist in salt and only a few months ago when you says if you walk you walk if the problem. we've handled tonight the economy step in the probably the most important revelation only. now other topics the two clashed on the world oil revenues the future of nuclear weapons as well as a health care the hour and a half the bait ended up being a little bit of a slanging match as the pair repeatedly shouted over each other to be heard there was very clear that the scottish national party leader was adopting

a more emotional but more confident approach some said that the fact that he was shouting over his opponents could put off some voters but as we can see with the results of the snap election it seemed to work in his favor well a fifth of scotland's electorate will start receiving their ballots as early as this tuesday and many of them could be making their decision today based on that debate and lots more stories coming your way after river short break. those who want to get involved to stop isis in iraq are allied with isis in syria and 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.

becoming independent schools a nation that a nation should be self-governing govern the feels better than someone else to do. good to have you with us it's a national public over the military style police response to mostly peaceful rallies over the shooting of a black teenager refuses to go away in the days leading up to michael brown's

funeral on monday there was a period of calm but countrywide rallies against police brutality planned for tuesday. looking at accusations that america's lower enforcement offices are more likely that of combat soldiers. thousands braved the boiling temperatures monday patiently waiting to enter a st louis church inside an 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 endless 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 unarmed activists and journalists at work dragnets all of the country i'm working in fugitive manhunt and i've been involved in shootings i can tell you that the amount of force that was an excessive amount of force and it happens everywhere everywhere around the world tuesday 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 abroad right now and a lot of people were even comparing ferguson torsos but those words so shouldn't be

that pilot anyway right like it's not ok for tear gas to be used against 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 tear gas was banned in more fair under the chemical weapon. convention of one thousand nine hundred three however it was not banned from police forces to use domestically. while america's law 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 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 someone. 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 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 while the country weeks for justice and accountability america's police practices remain under heavy scrutiny marina r.t. for us and. as always we have stories waiting for you right now online for example and that's a google style search engine allowing us all authorities to sift through anyone's personal data and the intelligence community has access to literally hundreds of millions of records the telling the lives of people all across the world full story if you want to website. also you can see pictures of

a human national flag more than thirty five thousand nepalese people joined together to set a new world record on our web site right now. just that social networks have been flooded with thousands of people posting photos and videos of themselves getting doused in ice cold water everyone from politicians to movie stars have taken part in the stunt to promote awareness of les it's a motor neuron disease. well parts of the world struggling to raise awareness of their own tragic situation hoping to use their own version of this popular campaign in gaza after weeks of conflict water is scarce and a lack of power makes it hard to make ice so a palestinian journalist is using the one thing freely available the other guest of the rubble right there in the debris caused by israeli missile strikes is asking

people to shower themselves in the debris of ruined buildings instead and i thought it was a has taken part in the campaign so we asked him about the serious measures that palestinians are trying to send to the outside world. we've organized a campaign called we have hope for children in gaza in order to support told victims in the region these children are getting shelled in their houses with the roofs crumbling over the heads all to share this picture with the world because the people not only in the arabic world will feel the pain of the children and people of gaza to iraq to open up the r.t. world update another car bomb explosion in baghdad is killed at least seven people also a suicide bomb attack on a shia mosque an explosion in karbala and two car bombs in barbell killed. several people injured when police charged anti austerity protesters in the spanish

city of santiago de compostela the local government says the tough response was justified because the demonstration was illegal and the protests were held outside a meeting between the german chancellor and the spanish prime minister of course and them to postpone a joint news conference. by to london where gang crime looks to be falling but communities are now worried about a different kind of violence. gang crime and shocking scenes like these were becoming rarer in london cheatings it for them by a half an 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 the police launched to tackle gangs after the london riots in twenty eleven what tried have done taken out many of the low low level to put soldiers that used meat on the street apparently in small amount of drugs and let

the boy 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 two years we can 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 at the place on the expert in things like addressing mental health concerns getting people opportunities for employment of training those are things for 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 dugas has worked hard to fight gang culture in london's kurdish communities due to austerity measures from move to community groups charities willing to introspect that is reduced dramatically so i think government has to find or think twice about tackling 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 now being questioned putting offenders under lock and key may bring

down crime but there is a concern that that will just be temporary and more work needs to be done in communities to stop gang culture andry farmer. london and after the break here on r.t. international the dark secrets of the nazis and their biological experiments on people. 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 either 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 he 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 .

i am come mental fall on your i'm under insufficient blind eyes. legal analysts don't feel dog i am the middle the us didn't mention he had constituted ones and done voted to corporate and flick opposing knowledge and then caliber glided and this is among the talk of it and doug invariant sed and who guys to be a norm gobstopper might stay in because of this shit box instead health's ohio for health owned by a demonstration at cancun this is sell both fish and the drug noise of the i me game involved actions with a need of other fed a was created one of us as a herd to target in the immediate scene maybe.
