harvey and you watching r.t. internet. peace in ukraine could be how much doubt in the capital of bella reuss that's is the presidents of russia and ukraine and representatives of the e.u. get together hopes are being placed on a possible one on one meeting between the leaders of moscow and kiev our correspondent arena glasgow is watching the gathering closely and i'm very pleased to say that she joins us now nice to see you again irina i know that we are really kind of waiting are we patiently in the hope that will be this this one on one but there has been has been activity so far any significant statements. while it's not even so much what was being said as it is about what we have seen

happening here and i'm talking about that first between russian and ukrainian presidents it has taken place and perhaps that is the. sign off things to come yet again maybe not but we do know at this point that that meeting between russian and ukrainian presidents is happening and the importance there of cannot be underestimated and ukrainian president poroshenko spared no words when describing as his apprehension. it would be to do without any doubt the fate of the world and the viewer is being decided that's the potential of this meeting together we have to find the one and only solution of which depends no more no less the peace on the entire continent. now of course finding that solution is no easy task but russian president president has provided his own view of the possible way to solve the crisis in ukraine. we're ready to exchange opinions on the crisis in ukraine which we're certain it is impossible to resolve boy for the escalating

the use of force without taking into account the interests of the southeastern regions of the country and a peaceful dialogue with their representatives. obviously there are a lot of things for ukrainian russian presidents to talk about including a colony and the issue of humanitarian aid to. the gonski gin and southeast of ukraine and we have heard there are reports at least coming in from nato that they are actually at this point saying not opposed to a second set of russian you tarion aid coming in to the regions which are in dire need there are however of course that humanitarian crisis in southeastern ukraine actually could be the cornerstone of the talks between russia's president putin and ukraine's president poroshenko ok that's ridiculous reporting from the rest thank you so you stay with this subject and get some analysis on it now by speaking to legal expert alexander macoris who joins me now alexander welcome president poroshenko to put this very lightly you some very strong words to describe this

meeting do you think that the fate of the whole world like he seems to do is really being decided in minutes. no idea and actually i think this is an exploratory meeting between the ukrainians and the russians which has happened after a great deal of international pressure and is probably to be explained to some extent by the deteriorating situation in the ukraine itself the economy there is going very badly wrong the military situation is not good and this is having broader reports repercussions for europe so there is a push from various people to try and come to some sort of the new arrangement but i think to talk about this being the solution to a great crisis that is in danger in the whole of europe is to overdramatize the importance of this meeting ok let's move on to what's actually been said so far

both presidents have made their opening speeches about him or putin he devoted most about the economics of the poroshenko he was straight into the meat of the matter in ukraine why do you think they differed in their opening approach is. this the fundamental difference is that the russians do not consider themselves to be a party to the conflict in the ukraine they see the conflict there as a conflict between eastern ukraine the people in the eastern ukraine and the or sorry it is who came to power in kiev in february so their analysis of the situation is totally different from the one of poorest and of the people in kiev who want to internationalize the question and turn it into a conflict between the ukraine and russia so that is why you see a totally different approach from the two presidents ok russia the e.u. crane they've all got a lot of considerations here on the economic front gas in particular affects all of

them do you think that this summit potentially could end that deadlock. the the great problem with the gas issue is that the ukraine very heavy arrears on its gas and i think what the russians will be looking for is some commitment from the ukraine a commitment i mean hard cash to actually pay off those the rivers before they're prepared to compromise further on gas prices shoes and of course the problem is at the moment that the ukraine has very little if any money left at all partly because it's been using the money it's been getting from organizations like the international monetary fund to fight the war in the east instead of stabilizing its economy and i am sure that mr putin in the private discussions he's going to have mr poroshenko is going to point that out. before this summit german

chancellor angela merkel she said that ukraine has to try to strike a balance between its european leanings and good relations with russia but we've heard president putin saying that russia would have to end its preferential treatment of ukraine should it strike a deal with the e.u. given those those viewpoints is it possible do you think for ukraine to find a sort of a happy medium. well the trouble with this is that it might have been possible once but it is going to be very difficult now because first of all the european association agreement to which the ukraine has now committed itself frankly closes off that option it makes parts of the ukraine part of the european single market research and it very difficult to see how the ukraine can symbol taney asli continue in the previous trade arrangements that it had with moscow secondly at it

also doing that also totally flies in the face of what the whole mind on movement in the ukraine has been about which is to turn away from moscow and toward europe so to say now after all that's happened over all these months with all the violence that there's been in the ukraine that maybe after all the ukraine needs to find a balance between russia and the ukraine is to leave that very late and probably in my opinion too late for that to happen ok thanks for joining us giving us your views that's legal expert alexander macoris. military officials in kiev say that they have detained a dozen russian soldiers who crossed into ukraine at night a source in russia's defense ministry is reportedly confirmed they went over the border by mistake during a routine patrol pulis liras in the region. well the head of kid of security services says that he does not believe that these soldiers crossed over into ukrainian territory accidentally but rather that it was an order that was given he

says that they were armed they had documents on them and that there were ten of them he says that they are now being detained they are being questioned at an undisclosed location russia's defense ministry on the other hand says that this was an intentional that the soldiers were patrolling the russian ukrainian border at night where it's very difficult often to demarcate where the borderline is that there was also some training that was happening five kilometers away from the border inside russia the border crossing between ukraine and russia is very often not signposted it often goes through fields and forests and villages now there have been incidents in the past not so long ago you had two ukrainian armored personnel carriers that crossed over into russian territory one crossed over and then another came to rescue it they were found by russian border guards and they were late free they were not detained there have been and number of incidents where areas particularly residential areas around the ukrainian russian border have been

shelled there was one incident where one person was killed and another was injured when a house in the rostov russian region was hit by a shell not far from here is of course eastern ukraine where you have most of the shelling that is almost daily now we visited the city of yes in ovata with the anti government fighters who were bringing emergency relief to people who have been under siege for the better part of a month and who are in desperate need of medical and other supplies 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 us in nevada have been without food and water the only way in the. all out is surrounded by heavy artillery believes there was more this will be a good initiative 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 and a half thousand blows give money for everybody knows that this is for humanitarian purposes one hundred people look at our ground it's perfect but it's not so pretty driving into yesterday twenty kilometers outside of the netsky 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 two gas boys 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.

really do other she want other villages he's at the moment when 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 here and it's over where it didn't really started yet but you know it was no big deal it was well. just. a moment the last of the certainly a victory for the government koreas know the order but lenient on the law of the border three days ago this bridge was still standing entire buildings have been blown up neighborhoods completely destroyed jaber i mean obviously this can bother them there harris. you don't want to but you can we know it's going on all the food as you can see the creatures they were specifically targeting the hospitals they

tried to destroy the place with children injured are being treated they want to create panic so unbearable conditions so that people leave. 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. yesin of arter eastern ukraine. meanwhile the ukrainian army's attacks in any eastern ukraine are unrelenting the forces sent by care are pushing on with their operation to crush the anti-government forces there is a church that came of the shelling during evening mass energy can clearly see severe damage inflicted there no roof or many of the walls of been reduced to rubble. to journalists who were detained in ukraine have now been released that they were a correspondent in a photographer for a crimea based newspaper of fortunately though there's still no word on the missing photojournalist andris then when he disappeared in ukraine three weeks ago numerous

campaigns for his release have been held across the globe backed by calls from the un russia and international human rights organizations were posting updates on the search for under a stand in on our web site r.t. dot com. the u.s. will deploy its unmanned drones to patrol the syrian skies to survey 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 about it refuses to see assad's forces as an ally in fighting the jihadists the mounting speculation suggests that the u.s. will eventually have to work with the president if it wants to eliminate the extremist threat is gone each account reports. 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 he's 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 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 made it 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 off to 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'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 looking primarily to overthrow the assad government imagine the president of the united states coming out and saying i know i said assad is 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 and cooperation could save many lives in washington i'm going to check out our team. john journalist and foreign policy analyst michael hughes thinks that america's back to self into a corner. it's kind of ridiculous now obama's top military advisers made two points number one we need to get them at their source which is in syria number two air power alone can only do so much eventually need boots on the ground there probably establishing a plan to strike the country which would be

a big mistake you know the military advisors should should you know propose a unified command you know syria the u.k. saudi arabia could help with the intelligence. so if they were smart that's what they would do but u.s. politics gets in the way of domestic and we've had an anti assad stance from the beginning so politically it'll be shoot themselves in the foot. differently here and syria. many of the members of congress of. syria in recent months. this. week. could. still be. the final televised debate between the yes and no camps and the scottish

independence campaign has turned into it the destiny of the country's future will be decided in mid september auntie's we're in a culture of i was watching how the leaders fed. it was a very loud and a very fiery debate 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 scotland's economy and the future of the pound and this time he came prepared to give his currency options offer and replan b.'s in fact something which he kept repeating but saying that sickened to the pound would best the economy. are probably the most important revelation. now they had all the better together campaign alistair darling head back saying that that would leave scotland at the mercy of

a foreign country telling their how to spend its money just like eurozone countries which have to get their budget signed off brussels. b.o.c. you don't have a central bank so our financial services existence go up 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 shouting over his opponents could put off some voters but as we can see with a 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 debates. coming up after a short break here in our two international while celebrities in the west take of

unarmed black teenager refuses to subside the protests that followed michael brown's funeral have been peaceful but more nationwide rallies against police brutality are planned for tuesday the citizens all over the world will take to the streets demanding security forces stop using tear gas and heavy weapons during rallies and they are planning to protest near police stations and u.s. embassies. amid the unrest in ferguson two police officers have been suspended for their harsh rhetoric so one went on twitter to say that protestors should be killed like rabid dogs another appears to have posted a video two years ago in which he says that he's a killer who is ready to kill anybody political columnist ted rall believes that 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 we'll 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. on the way financial fraud watch out max collins is coming to get. do we speak your language anything about the role or not of the. news programs and
