all eyes are on the capital of belle russo where leaders gathered to devise a solution to the ukrainian crisis the president of russia and ukraine are expected to meet one on one for the first time. i shall show population of eastern ukraine struggle for food and water that's until every attacks go on r t follows the anti-government forces bringing relief to the suffering locals. the u.s. approves during surveillance on islamic state militants in syria but a common thread still fails to bring washington and damascus closer towards cooperation. and just a few weeks ahead of the scottish independence referendum poll suggests the yes campaign schools of victory in the final debate between the two leaders of the camp

. a very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us you know marching to national life from moscow this evening. i meant the wall of words between russia and the west events in ukraine everyone is hoping a meeting between president vladimir putin and petro poroshenko could ease the crisis at the capital minutes before talks with the e.u. and we are going to go is watching the gathering quite closely for us and she joins us live it may not have any significant statements being made so far. yes at least we have heard several interesting things coming from both russian and ukrainian president so far we have seen them shaking hands so perhaps that is a good sign of things to come however yet we do not know of course this is the

first meeting in quiet while the first since the d.-day celebrations in france in june and of course the importance of this is that the two presidents are expected to discuss the crisis in ukraine and we have already heard from the ukrainian president saying that everybody is watching what's happening here in minsk because the face of europe on the whole world depends on this meeting however the russian president didn't use such loud loud words when describing the situation here at the meeting in minsk. we were ready to exchange opinions on the crisis in place in ukraine which we are certain is impossible to resolve by further escalation the use of force without taking into account the interests of the southeastern regions of the country and a peaceful dialogue with the representatives. of course there is still the one on one meeting to calm possibly between the russian and ukrainian presidents everybody is definitely waiting for that but for now we have heard

a lot of talk about the economy merrily from russian president who have focused who has focused on the trade association agreement that ukraine has signed with the e.u. which is at the core off conflict between russia and ukraine now the russian president said that russia wouldn't wish for nothing more than to continue its cooperation with ukraine when it comes to financial issues however because. of the trade agreement it will be it was forced to drop the treatment of the neighboring country and russia has for a long time warned about the economic and social implications of the signing of the agreement so again we're waiting for that one and one meeting and of course we'll bring you all the latest when we get it. going talks in minsk thank you very much. well local analysts. believe it won't be easy for putin and 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 there will be european throwing in attendance from brussels where is the real policy 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 supported unfortunately by some of the worst elements in the country such as the right sector. 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 me. measure officials in kiev say they have detained a dozen russian soldiers who cross into you queen at night a source in russia's defense ministry has reportedly confirmed to they went over the border by mistake during a routine patrol but if he is in the region and joins us live now paula tell us what exactly happened. well according to the russian defense ministry its soldiers crossed over into ukrainian territory and intentionally the incident happened at night while the soldiers were patrolling the russian ukrainian border now this is a border that very often runs through fields and forests and villages i can tell you from having traveled there often during the day that it is very difficult sometimes to tell when you are in russian territory and when you are in ukraine into a tree it is not always signposted and that's during the day so one can imagine how much more difficult it is at night there is video that has been posted online by

the kiev government in which a purported to show russian soldiers that are being questioned this has not been verified now some time ago they were two ukrainian armored personnel carriers that crossed over into russian territory they were found by russian border guards what seems to have happened is that one vehicle crossed over and then another came to rescue it nobody was detained in that particular incident there have been a number of other incidences often along the ukrainian russian border where shelling takes place now they often those shells xa dainty hit residential areas there was one incident where a shell hit a house one person was killed another person was injured and that was in the roster of region which is on the russian side of the russian ukrainian border so what we do see happening is these violations if every so often but they certainly are accidental one of the city's food that is being heavily shelled in the city of yes in a bottle it's about twenty kilometers outside of the city of donetsk we traveled with

a group of anti kid finds has to ascertain exactly what is the situation like there and to help bring emergency relief to people there who have been on to siege for the better part of a month. these men have seen some of the worst fighting in this conflict but there's one thing they find even worse life 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 a combination we're doing everything we can so the people there have enough food we're not going to let a humanitarian crisis happen. 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 blows give money for everybody knows that this is for humanitarian purposes the hungry people look at our bread it's perfect. but it's not so pretty driving into us and of art or 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 in 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. already aware that she was of their villages he's a well it's been the most. difficult for you know what they are going to sherry's the room i just was wondering tonight it's very all of you here were devoted to

reader's digest video and of course the revealing was well. we did. just. you. know this is the circle of the a victory over the government for years knows will be over but the law is the rule of law three days ago this bridge was still standing entire buildings have been blown up neighborhoods completely destroyed jibber mysteriously scan bother them. even the nords of all as 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 unbearable conditions so that people leave . 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. the ukrainian army's attacks in eastern ukraine are relenting the forces sent by kiev are pushing on with the operation to crush the n.t. government force the theme here's a church that came under shelling during evening mass you can see it's been severely damaged or there's no roof and many of the walls have been reduced to rubble. two more journalists who were detained in ukraine have been released and there were a correspondent and photographer for crimea based newspaper unfortunately there's still no word on of the missing photojournalist andrei standing he disappeared in ukraine three weeks ago and numerous campaigns for his release have been held across the globe backed by calls from the un russia and international human rights organizations or posting updates on the search for unrest then on our website r.t.e. dot com. they

were sold employ its own men drawings to patrol the syrian skies to serve in positions of islamic state militants the move was approved by president obama making it a possible precursor for strikes however washington's decision came without any approval from the syrian government america refuses to see us its forces as an ally in fighting the jihad is but mountain speculation suggest the u.s. will eventually have to work with the syrian president if it wants to eliminate the extremist threat ideas vanish as you can report. 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 to have some resonance with our relationship with assad 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 with syria is ready to cooperate and coordinate on the regional and international levels to confront terrorism in the framework of respecting the sovereignty of syria all anti terror efforts inside syria should come after coordination has been

made with the syrian government in advance. 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 cooperated 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 put 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 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 save many lives in washington i'm going to check out party. differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months. at this. rate. which is diddy's telling you can. still be released to syria will be. the final televised debate between the yes and no camps in the scottish

independence campaign to turn and heed to it the destiny of the country's future will be decided in mid september or to smyrna kosovo was watching how the leaders that. 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 challenge over issues such as the future of of scotland's economy and the future of the pound and this time he came prepared to give his currency options offer and replan beason fact something which he kept repeating but saying that sickened to the pound would the economy. the probably the most important revelation in all this give me. now the head of the 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 budgets signed off in a brussels. b.o.c. posy you don't have a central bank so our financial services coexistence ago and now other topics the two clashed on the war oil revenues the future of nuclear weapons as well as a health care the hour and a half debate 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 in over his opponent could put off some voters but as we can see but there is also of the snap election that seemed to work in his favor or 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 the debates. coming up one hour to international police struggle to get on

a grip on gang crime in london all big offenders have been jailed and seems a new people are quick to fill those criminal shoes we'll tell you more late. celebrities in the west take up the ice bucket challenge the arab world is just desperate to promote awareness of the child victims of the war but using the rubble . shows more. differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months. which is diddy's time. to go. to syria is going to be

the street and in small amount of drugs and let the boyd 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 born out in recent crime figures in parts of north london knife crime has risen by thirty percent in the last twelve months while 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 matter 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 jane 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 on the 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 dugas has worked hard to fight gang culture in london's kurdish communities. due to austerity measures from move to community groups charities will . is reduced dramatically sorting government used 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 rights of twenty eleven but the long term wisdom of projects like operation

protestors should be killed like rabid dogs while another appears to have posted a video two years ago which he says he's a killer who's also ready to kill anybody political columnist ted rall believes the approach of a 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 we're 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
