the russian and ukrainian presidents hold their first one on one meeting and discuss the ongoing crisis in eastern ukraine but military shells continue to full with a chemical plot among the latest targets hit in the crisis. and the new figures suggesting over a thousand joined the jihad in the middle east with critics saying the policy of multiculturalism that could be to blame. and the debate over the use of civilian drones in the us grows the number of near collisions rises as fast as the popularity of the unmanned fly is.

a very good morning to you from all of us here at r.t. international. headlines for this hour the first to ever one on one meeting between vladimir putin and ukraine's president has taken place at an international summit in the to discuss the crisis in eastern ukraine but there was no breakthrough which could help to end the violence there. now with details. the talks lasted for several hours for almost two hours as a matter of fact and they finished well after midnight the conversation revolved around the situation in eastern ukraine the russian president said that they did not discuss the terms of the cease fire but if you go to should be we didn't talk in detail about it and frankly speaking russia can propose any conditions for a cease fire. agreements between. this is ukraine's affairs we can only try to help to create an atmosphere of trust during these

negotiations that are in my view very necessary having said that russian president also mentioned that moscow and have agreed that you can in tearing aid is indeed needed in the south eastern regions of ukraine now it comes to gas just get we know that russia and ukraine seem to have agreed on renewable off talks that have been previously stalled they will be renewed with e.u.'s participation now russian president said that russia has indeed cut off the gas supply to kiev but only because ukraine has stopped being and of course the situation could also involve european consumers because there had been previous instances when gas that was being exported from russia to europe was siphoned off by ukraine obviously this is something that russia wants to prevent from happening get again we were waiting for this meeting to start we were watching closely as the two presidents were arriving to the presidential palace and the minute russian president has set foot inside you

could see that he was a man of feeling absolutely confident in what was about to happen he was all smiles we couldn't say the same about ukrainian president his facial expressions left us wondering about the complexity of the emotions that he was feeling but then of course there was that very first handshake between the two presidents for the first time setting the tone of hope for the upcoming meeting and it does seem that indeed perhaps we have seen some. movement forward and of course now it's down to the action to the actions it's a start taking place but by the end of the talks here in minsk russian president said that he is happy with the way they went he called them positive. now the way relations between russia and ukraine will develop depends on a number of factors including the agenda of the u.s. and of course western europe but that's the view will political analyst william dark. i think it depends on whether poroshenko was going to respond to the needs of

the majority of the people of ukraine or or to the demands of his command of the government's financial backers in the west there or it has to be seen in the context of an international the world situation and the international agenda is western europe western european bankers and. the european union have an agenda and that agenda is to plunder ukraine the united states government has an agenda too and that agenda has confrontation with russia to justify the expansion of nato and to provide markets for the u.s. fracking industry they want to use the crisis in ukraine tonight to draw create a where between russia and the east and western europe to force western europe into a subservient relationship with the united states like existed during the cold war and of course it. depend on u.s. soil monopolies for its energy supplies and in the meantime people in eastern ukraine remain under a barrage of shells launched by government forces kiev says it's targeting rebel

fighters but residential areas they're the ones that continue to get. oh oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh. oh oh the white boys got caught. up with this is bad if this war can be very good for us. and then one of the very latest attacks a large chemical plant employing three thousand people came under fire and it's not the first time it's been hit by army shelling as our correspondent paula slayer found out when she went to the site. the ukrainian army is closing in on the city of donetsk u.k.p.

hockney's and government fighters this is my kiev case some twenty five kilometers away two chemical plants came under attack bringing the war to a new level fire raged in the din it's krege and not far from the deadly sites around one of the largest factories in ukraine of chemicals and coal and as you can see in the last few hours it has come under shelling the heart of the building has been damaged you can actually still smell in the air this smell of buildings there is firing from within here outside the city and there's also the constant fear that any moment now the ukrainian military will shell again trying at least to get to the center of the nets because here it is too dangerous. a show for just there let me show you where. this is what is left of the show. but others fear and now the charitable could be on the horizon that in its krege and has nearly four thousand dangerous factories and facilities to hit on any one of them would pose

a threat to the entire area and indiscriminate punishment to fighters and civilians alike we're talking about hours before a grade in the atmosphere. because we're talking about here which should be chlorine related. risks in most of these cases will be. problems. residence nearby the plants are not taking any chances. this is a second day where staying in the basement i came into the apartment to get some things and then the shelling resume so we had to hide again but now we're in the basement without food without drink and without water or money it's been dangerous here since the morning some houses have been hit on the edge of the neighborhood this is part of the rockets that was fired from a grad missile launcher more and more these are landing here in civilian areas of

course the r t the eastern ukraine and a russian journalist who's been missing in ukraine for three weeks now will be on the front page of a german daily newspaper this is what edition of the left wing looks like a global campaign in support of the veteran war zone photographer under a stand and kicked off almost immediately after his disappearance online users have spread the freon to hash tag around the world while human rights groups have called on kiev to find and release the correspondent. by joining us here on r.t. international today are the latest figures showing just how many europeans are going to fight in syria and iraq it's presenting a sobering insight into just how serious the problem has become in recent months for example the security services estimate up to one thousand british residents have now joined the she hardest fight in the middle east also up to two hundred

fifty hardliners are believed to have returned to the u.k. this poses a big headache for security and police and this new terror threat has left the earth already has to wonder just how much the official policy of multiculturalism could be to blame is r t correspondent marina costs around. multiculturalism was one celebrated as the way forward but after thirty years of cultivates in britain it's now being blamed for fostering extremist ideology and directly contributed to homegrown islamic terror for too long the doctrine of multiculturalism has led to immigrants establishing completely separate communities in our cities these are to honor killings female genital circumcision and the establishment of sharia law in a city pockets throughout the u.k. islamic radicals should be challenged with the values of liberal democracy.

issues to do with multiculturalism in britain which i think has led to guess why zation a sort of bottom up apartheid there is a. i think unfortunately that it is there is going to be an extent to it too little too late it's british police are now preparing for raids across the country in their bid to find out exactly who is just the job that british suspects thought to have beheaded american journalist james foley but many fear there's more than one jihadi john around and want the government to take more drastic measures therefore automatic suspicion that if you have travelled to the isis region in this period of time that you are in some way in the conflict there and i think that it's only right that that suspicion exists and i think all of those individuals that have travelled to the region need to be investigated by the intelligence services and quite possibly by the police if they return to the home secretary currently has the

power to strip citizenship from two or nationals who are fighting abroad this also applies to immigrants who have become naturalized citizens but home office lawyers argue that a country can't make its citizens stateless and the other side of the story is muslim communities living here in the u.k. who play the part of violence has increased the extreme nationalism everything the phobia that's maybe made of claims their everyday lives dramatically. so i'm quite sickened by the political right to constantly have a go at multiculturalism as of multiculturalism is the major problem we are getting a gradual sense of of a drip drip of cases which comes in from the trojan horse and we had cases that came in from the isis affair they feel that there's a sense of collective guilt that has been placed on them not just wind of it was that they know but also through the national papers and by politicians who of calling out all. muslims should all for this this so-called hate campaign is seen

mostly on the internet with ennis and muslims being the frequent targets of internet trolls even a senior muslim member of a local branch of the anti immigration ukip party has found himself the target of online abuse there's a sense of disaffection there's a sense of isolationism and i guess there's also a sense that you know some of the individuals feeling that this is also prejudicial in its own right by assuming all of the muslim community has to answer to something they have absolutely no control of more of extremism is now raging just as much as that of nationalism and the problem for the government is finding a fine rowing so it doesn't end up falling into either camp during the course of our reports or from london. and the rise of pro she had a sentiment in the u.k. is now forced the government to consider how to deal with newly converted radicals

in fact the home secretary theresa may has outlined a series of new laws that will see people who travel to syria or iraq investigated by the secret security services and the police and those with the all nationality will be stripped of her citizenship and excluded from the u.k. she also on the line changes that would see naturalized britons fighting abroad stripped of their citizenship as well and while those returning from the war zones will be subject to prosecution and political analyst david vance he believes the whole of europe should be taken this issue very seriously. i think europe faces some very great challenges it does have within its borders a very old european population and a very young and fast growing muslim population and we see that manifest in countries such as france and belgium right across the place these people do not appear to have the same values of those old european nations and therefore the

question has to be played and i think where that leads will be major trouble potential violence right across europe and of course that's been facilitated by the e.u. opening its borders into these countries people from very very different cultures who fold who hold very very different views are still to come here on r.t. international a woman survives one year without spending any cash or anoxia we ask her why she took on the challenge of life without money. perhaps how hard it was and. also ahead for you tiny but decisive and we report on how our young russian scientist has taught nano particles the freedom of choice. drama. stories others through

a few. pictures . from around the globe. c.b.s. bizarre to see it more than the propaganda film part of it is the state sponsored russia today program just words sabean not like telling them in analyze this present time is just ridiculous not an answer to my question. john is not happy to support their safety and sometimes their lives all over the wall to bring people stories none the propaganda channels don't want you to see and we told her some.

stuff. we think of why we think there are good. for us and beaches. coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. and. why he has a deep dark little secret a secret the us government would like you can all go. to our way. out of the. bilbo i did dearly for she did ok good all we know there is. actually drowning us on r.t. international law. civilian drones are now so popular in the us the law to control

them is failing to keep up let's show you an online map here of commercial flights over the u.s. that we've taken in the last hours from flight radar twenty four dot com shows just how busy the skies over america really are and this is the main reason why some critics say that civilian drones are unwanted guests in this kind of airspace in fact perhaps their worries seem justified because the number of near collisions has risen with the number of drones in operation for example or it was in march or u.s. airways pilot reported a near miss with a tiny drone over the tallahassee airport in florida and then we went to la guardia in new york which also registered a black drone zipping towards a larger aircraft just seventeen hundred meters above lower manhattan and planes near los angeles international airport they said that they once or an unidentified aircraft the size of

a rubbish bin just outside the window and these are only three of fifteen registered cases insanities guy nature can. commercial drones are about to flood the u.s. air space amazon is seeking permission from regulators to test its delivery drones to very soon drones may be delivering your online orders earlier this summer the federal aviation administration gave all giant b.p. the first permission to use a commercial drone to fly aerial surveys over the operation in alaska congress says another year to decide on rules and regulations for commercial drones but they're already here flying legally and mostly illegally often to the horror of airline pilots the number of dangerously close encounters with unmanned aircraft is rising rapidly as more drones big and small take to the air pilots like greg cromer are raising the alarm i cannot see them they're too small or too fast and they're too

erratic another airplane in the sky i know is going this way that drone can go this way down fast without any warning they can change directions so there's no amount of preparation there's no amount of vigilance that's going to completely make me or any other pilot say america's aviation washed out says pilots have reported fifteen close calls with small dros near airports in the past two years and nasa database of confidential complaints filed by pilots and air traffic controllers has recorded fifty other reports of close calls involving drones over the past decade in many cases it is not possible to track down the on registered aircraft and who's flying them but when in july a small drone came dangerously close to a police helicopter in new york two of its operators were arrested not only are the drones able to fly off radar they also crash in the last five years two hundred

thirty six all safe inside it has been reported and that's only among registered drawl. what happens if one of these things falls and hits a kid. if it's a politician's kid we will have to worry about drones anymore. there are many. rapid expansion in the use of drones many concerns ranging from safety to privacy. get their hands on drones anyway while business is. exploring all the wonderful ways they could use the remotely controlled aircraft one operations coordinated with the national air traffic controllers association described the upcoming integration of drones international air space as the tsunami headed for the fun. after all the u.s. is the busiest airspace in the wall it's about to get busier and possibly more dangerous in washington i'm going to check out our team as always many more stories for you online right now. including well paid time for the operator of.

nuclear for example a rule the company is in deep to blame for the death of a woman who suffered severe depression and committed suicide in the wake of the tragedy. also when our website a u.s. senator calling for americans to boycott burger king over the. plan to move to canada to avoid paying taxes those details on our website right now. in the meantime on the program food clothing and other necessities they say in this life nothing comes for free whoever they are we don't know. that one german woman who wasn't listening. in a modern world where advertisers are constantly to convince consumers that they need new products it can be tempting to give it up and live a much simpler life one german woman in the city of light seek did just that i met

with right granted tarbush to for twelve months trying to simulate a world without. making her own clothes bartering with people. what we could eat it and growing her own food i got my knife not easy in the center of a city i was very hopeful to grow by myself the point is the earth is just not ready for that the soil so i called my mother she took her car and broad huge amount of soil from my home country through into this is where my mother put soil and this is where she did so what are we learning you always it's always good to have a good mother mother earth. living like this doesn't give you the most very best summer and autumn it's easy to live from what you get from the fields but in winter it gets really difficult when the cabbage and

potatoes. and stuff so it's not so much fun all of which asks the question why do it it was not about just an adventurous trip into surviving stuff but it was a thought of how do i get back to the core of things because i can and if i just go to the supermarket to pay for it i don't know anything about the value just because i know the prize when looking for things to reuse the junk is an excellent resource so i joined in a friend turned down for a session of what they called dumpster diving. it's not so bad for a lamp maybe you put some some paper here. colorful paper. put some strings here and you already digging through the discarded items could give a glimpse into the recent past of the document of life. this is all documents of

life that we find here is that the senior pictures is always a. very intimate moment. i've been happy to wrote a story of a year without counting into a three hundred page book called apocalypse now i wanted to know what she felt the experience had taught her think in the end it was the kind of complete brainwash i had to over thing on my consuming habits the way i go shopping the way i. feed myself or the way i live actually or ha ha oh you this is trash. i found something for you the idea behind great as experiment wasn't to convince people to give up on consumerism entirely but to show that with a little thought and some hard effort we can become more self-reliant. and that one person's trash can be another's treasure but it's all over of the leipzig germany.

all right let's get to some other news around the world very briefly here in our international israel and hamas they have agreed upon a cease fire brokered by that is the government the palestinians say the indefinite truce will see an easing of the israeli blockade and help them to rebuild the war torn region. took to the bombed out streets of gaza to celebrate the end of hostilities hamas claimed the agreement as a victory for the resistance seven weeks of intense fighting left the well over two thousand palestinians dead most of them civilians a sixty eight people on the israeli side. and dozens of mainly nigerian and libyan refugees rallied outside the u.s. embassy in berlin seeking asylum in america they demanded a u.s. officials speak with them saying otherwise they'll be left sleeping in the streets the protesters complained of a lack of support from the german government and europe some claim to have been living in germany as refugees for over two years without

a job all social security. under fifteen people were killed and forty eight injured when a bus collided with a truck on a highway in northwest china it broke through the central partition swerved into the opposite lane and then hit the lorry the site of the accident was so badly damaged it's actually being dull for repair work at the bus was reportedly overloaded with passengers. now they are so small you can't even see them but they are clever enough to make their own decisions a russian scientist keaton has spent twenty thousand dollars of his own family money to teach nanoparticles to work out right from wrong you go to school to finding out what the newly trained robots. imagine tiny microscopic robots being able to work inside the human body to help treat illnesses sounds like science fiction right well this man right here is aiming to make it

a reality in the scientists who's been doing some amazing research in the technologies thank you very much for coming here your studies have been published in many science magazines and it really sounds impressive amazing for scientists but for a girl like me and softly speaking out an expert in the spirit can you just explain how does this stuff work. so basically what we have done that we can take really anyone a particle in transform it into so you can buy a computer so basically a tiny nano particle which is a very very small particle is equipped with some opportunity to actually. perform calculations so little robots are able to do some sort of action to help treat the body this is what you're talking yes but what we have done is that. you could the particle with the ability to process information about the biochemical

information inside the body we are in basically so that given that none of particles more control over its behavior so that it doesn't like attacked. anything in the finds like healthy cells disease cells and so on we've given more control so that if we actually see is that the reason oprah problem at all then they can just swim by and do no harm to healthy what sort of illnesses are we talking about here that potentially could be treated and that we should do everything about cancer or potential we can see that it might be. for cancer for a different type of inflammations and so on just thinking of period in the body of fighting diseases and so on i think these technologies is very promising back in half an hour's time with more of your top world headlines here on r.t. international next though breaking the set with abby martin unless you're joining us from the u.k. good morning to you you're going underground. cuchulain

is running out of many things money time and patience there's a growing recognition in europe that the ukrainian so war must end through negotiations does partition cope have the political will and does washington really want peace peace and full scope becoming independent schools a nation that a nation should be self-governing govern the feels better that allows someone else to do it for look. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others refuse to notice. faces change the world writes now.
