the shell shocked population of eastern ukraine struggled to find food or water in the ruined towns as the tillery attacks agree on r t follows the end to government forces bringing relief to the suffering locals. the conflict will be up for discussion at a meeting between the presidents of russia and ukraine instead goes ahead we have more on the expectations from the talks planned in me. as a u.s. president approves the surveillance of the jihad is fighting in syria we look at how working with bashar al assad could suddenly become a pressing issue for washington. and just a few weeks ahead of the scottish independence referendum poll suggests the yes

campaign claimed a question victory in the final debate between the leaders of the two campaigns. from moscow this afternoon thank you for being with us here with me what say the ukrainian army attacks in eastern ukraine on c seizing the forces sent by kiev are pushing on with the operation to crush the anti-government forces the several villages outside the latest to be hit is a church that came under shelling during evening mass you can see it's been severely damaged there's no roof and many of the walls have been turned into rubble . you know why did he shoot you.

for your book crummy teacher of a. new school some of the. military officials in kiev say they have detained a dozen russian soldiers who crossed into ukraine at night a source in russia's defense ministry has reportedly confirmed they went over the border by mistake during a routine patrol policy is in the region and joins us live now paula tell us what exactly happened. well kim was the first to announce that it had detained russian soldiers there is a video that has now been posted to facebook that reportedly shows the soldiers being questioned you can see them reading what seems to be a statement off a piece of paper and you can hear someone in the background presumably giving them instructions of what to say and then name source in the russian defense ministry says the soldiers were patrolling the russian ukrainian border at night when they intentionally crossed over into ukrainian territory what we're also hearing from

the source is that the soldiers were detained without giving any kind of resistance it's important to make the point that this happened at night where it's very difficult if not impossible at some points to tell where exactly is the borderline we're talking here about a border that often goes through a field a forest or even a village and i have crossed this border on several occasions during the day so you can imagine how much easier it is during the day and i can tell you from personal experience that there are many many parts where they simply no markings to say that now you are in the russian territory now you are in ukrainian territory so how much more difficult it is at night there have been several occasions in the past where ukrainian soldiers themselves have crossed over into russian territory there was one instance where two armored vehicles crossed over and the crew tried to escape at the beginning of august there was just over four hundred ukrainian troops who crossed over into russia reportedly seeking sanctuary. i love all of it all happened in the war zone way here fighting anti-government forces it

is is that correct. certainly this happened in an area in eastern ukraine which has seen the fiercest fighting between the anti-government fighters and the ukrainian military there is yet constant shelling and there's also a humanitarian crisis that is unfolding we traveled with a group of antigovernment fighters to one of the worst hit cities where essentially people are under siege and these fighters risked their lives to bring much needed supplies to the residents of the town. these men have seen some of the worst fighting in this conflict but there's one thing they find even worse life is 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 village there was more this will be

a combination we're doing everything we can sort of people there had enough 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 a day and a half thousand blows good money for everybody knows that this is all humanitarian work one hundred he did not look at el grande it's for. but it's not so pretty driving into yesterday of otter twenty kilometers outside of the nets where some of the fiercest fighting is taking place to. get off an hour ago missiles hit in the street a man was killed a woman injured yesterday they had to send to gas boy every hour there was shooting with shelling while you were here you will hear it all. would quickly spreads that help survived those who haven't fled the town risk the thunder of shelling to come

quickly and take what they can. either she want other villages he's a mother on the most. difficult or you know. the gloom i just was wondering tonight it's very all of you here it's all over where it really started yet but you're still be dealing. with. this. you. know this is the third a victory for the government for years no cause we all heard what the laws of war do three days ago this bridge was still standing entire buildings have been blown up neighborhoods completely destroyed this can bother them they're terrorists. even they know it's a school as you can see by the creators 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 your 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. yesin of arter eastern ukraine. amid the war of words between russia and the west over events in ukraine everyone expects a meeting between president vladimir putin and petro poroshenko could ease the crisis thing is may or may not happen the two are in belarus capital for joint russia ukraine each talks. has more. 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 as you know ration at the beginning of this year ended war little fruit still expectations called 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 go and give 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. political analyst a city believe say it won't be easy for putin and punishing to find common ground

because of the outside factors shaping ukraine's politics. neither pushing cork has a great deal of leeway in the proceedings because opted 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 and victoria nuland because it is the brother family that will be european throw it to you matthew and so from brussels where is the real policy agenda 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 hard line from q. supported unfortunately by some of the worst elements in the country such as the right circuit or. the suborder party do not bode well for

a political solution if there is the readiness in the west to prompt here in the direction of a political solution we indeed could be to inmates. every move was analyzed during a putin and first encounter two months ago in france and today will be much the same r.t. will be following their discussions closely throughout the day to stay with us two more journalists who were detained in ukraine have been released they were a correspondent for talk of fall for a crimea based newspaper unfortunately there's still no word on the missing photojournalist on the stand and he disappeared in ukraine three weeks ago and numerous campaigns for his release have been held across the globe backed by calls from you when russia and international human rights organizations were placing updates on the search for understand and on our website r t.

american drones will be flying over the syrian airspace us availing of the position of islamic states militants name the move was approved by the american president making it a possible precursor for strikes however washington made this decision without any approval from the syrian government as a 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 anyone to eliminate that to hide his threat then. 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 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 coordinated 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

jihadists 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 were targeted air strikes the source claims the information was passed to assad's 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 working 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 a deal and cooperation could say many lives in washington i'm going to check out

our team. coming up on r t international the teenager killed by a police officer is laid to rest but public anger is a strong as a bit later in the program a report on the police tactics being used against the protests across america. plus the arab world accepts a new challenge using the rubble of gaza to promote peace and awareness of the child victims of conflict. the final televised debate between the two sides of the scottish independence campaign has been held the referendum will take place in mid september i just heard a kosovo was watching how leaders fed. it was 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 scotland's economy and the future of the pound and 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 and soothe the palate would be back the economy. the probably the most important revelation. for elder had all been better together campaign alistair darling head back saying that that would leave scotland at the mercy of a foreign country telling it how to spend its money just like eurozone countries which have to get their budget signed off brussels. you don't have a central bank so our financial services can exist and salt and now other topics to clash on the world oil revenues the future of nuclear weapons as well as

a health care the hour and a half to bates ended up being a little bit of a sliming 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 says 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 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. more news coming your way up to this 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 terrorist. bases and for becoming independent schools a nation that nation should be self-governing they govern the feels better than allowing someone else to do it for. i'm.

thankful staying with us here on r.t.e. international public anger over the military style police response to peaceful rallies over the shooting of a black on a 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 a planned full choose day. diane looks at ickes ations that america's law enforcers that turning into combat soldiers. thousands braved the boiling temperatures monday patiently waiting to enter a st louis church inside and 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 unarmed activists and journalists were dragnets out 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 a broad right and a lot of people were even comparing ferguson torsos but those were so shouldn't be about 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 warfare under the chemical weapon. since convention of one thousand nine hundred three however it was not banned from police forces to use domestically. 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 of 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 an army of demonstrators is becoming the new norm practiced and promoted by american officials we were out the other night i'm standing out and someone is going to get a bag you know. put out a gas mask and you see 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 turkey and while the country beats for justice and accountability america's police practices remain under heavy scrutiny. of our team for instance. i mean they are arrested in ferguson two police officers have been suspended for their behavior now one went to on twitter to say protesters should be killed like rabid dogs while another appears to have posted

a video two years ago in which he says he's a killer we've already to kill anybody 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 were 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. but always we have little stories that waiting

for you online and then saying google style search engine that lets the us authorities sift through people's personal data the intelligence community has access to literally hundreds of billions of records detailing the lives of people across the world that story in full on our website. and also on i think dot com i see pictures of the law just as a human at national flag more than thirty five thousand nepalese people joined together to set a new world. right on the scene. first street. and i think you're. on our reporters with their. instrument.

today in the. you can but i have noticed that social networks have been flooded with thousands of people posting photos and videos of themselves getting dozed in ice cold water everyone from politicians to the stars have taken part in the stunt to promote awareness of a less or want to a new disease. or parts of the world struggling to raise awareness of their own tragic situation are hoping to use their own version of the popular campaign in gaza after weeks of conflict so water is scarse and the lack of power makes it hard to freeze so a palestinian journalist is using the one thing which is freely available in the rubble created by israeli missile strikes these are people to shower themselves in the debris of ruined buildings instead dollars it has taken part in the campaign so

we also know about the serious message 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 child victims in the region these children are getting shelled in their houses with the roofs crumbling over their heads i want 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. not some other news from around the world say yet another car bomb explosion in the iraqi capital killed at least seven people early this morning i mean comes just a day after a string of attacks across the country and they included a suicide bomb attack on a sham last explosion in that killed fifteen civilians and two come bombs and bad belt that killed eleven this year iraq has faced rising levels of violence caused by islamic state and other sunni groups. several people were injured one
