8:01 am
u.s. the small aircraft buzzing through the skies are turning into a serious threat way traffic. a very warm welcome to you if you're just joining us here on our team to national we're live from moscow this afternoon you with me to say russia will do its best to help set up a peace process in ukraine those words coming from but i did meet putin this handshake kicked off for the first sit down meeting of the russian and ukrainian president at an international summit in minsk or does a regular school has more. this was a meeting that everybody here in misc was waiting for with their breasts abated literally for hours and once it was over russian president came out you can just rest obviously discussing some of the most pressing issues that were touched upon
8:02 am
during the conversation with president poroshenko now one of the most of the biggest concerns in this regard is the issue of possible cease fire in south east of ukraine where fighting continues to rage now russian president has rita rated the point that was previously made by moscow on several occasions and that is the fact that this issue continues to be an internal issue in ukraine and russia can only play the role of a facilitator in the dispute but if you're good in that it should be we didn't talk in detail about it and frankly speaking russia can propose any conditions for a cease fire or speak of possible agreements between kiev and donetsk or lugansk 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 now of course there's also the issue of humanitarian aid to the regions of donetsk and lugansk where people are continuing to suffer the situation there is that of
8:03 am
a humanitarian catastrophe so both most going to have seem to have made progress in facilitating some sort of an agreement we do not know the details of that but it does seem that the two countries are going to be working together in trying to bring relief to the suffering regions and last but not least of course there is the issue off the gas disputes between moscow and kiev now according to the russian president the talks are going to continue in the nearest future on that and this is the issue that involves not just russia and ukraine as history has shown during the previous so-called gas wars between moscow and kiev customers in europe have also been affected because ukraine has shown its capacity for siphoning off gas that was intended for you russia's european customers. obviously with winter fast approaching this is something of grave importance knowledge is for ukraine but also for several european countries but all in all when talking about the meeting here
8:04 am
in minsk we can say that it was a success and that was also the words that russian president has used to describe it civilian areas to remain in the sights of ukraine's army in the country's east with residential parts of the net's going to guns being hit on a daily basis says it's targeting rebel fighters but some people in the resistance hards claim a different story. but you are going. it would. be very for. a blaze raised just outside of the city of donetsk after
8:05 am
a large chemical plant point three thousand people came under fire the factory has been hit by army shelling at these twice within a week policia reports. around one of the largest factories in ukraine of chemicals and coal and as you can see it has come under shelling you can actually still smell in the air this smell of burning and there's also the constant fear that any moment now the ukrainian military will shell again we're trying at least to get to the center of donetsk because here it is too dangerous. a show for just there let me assure you were. this is what is left of the show. but others fear and now the charitable could be on the horizon that emits 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 they were graded in the atmosphere. because
8:06 am
we're talking about here which should be chlorine related. risks in most of these cases will be. problems. residents nearby the plants are not taking any chances it's been more dangerous here since the morning some houses have been hit on the edge of the neighborhood this is part of a ruckus that was fired from a grad missile launcher more and more these are landing here in civilian areas of course the r.t. . eastern ukraine germany has become the latest country to lend a way to the campaign to find a russian journalist under a stand he's been missing in ukraine is since august fifth this is what wednesday the edition of the left wing newspaper younger fell to looks like a global campaign for the release of the veteran war zone photographer i kicked off
8:07 am
almost immediately after his disappearance however has been reluctant to participate saying it has no knowledge of stan and speight. nato camps are pointing fingers said moscow when it comes to the crisis in ukraine it secretary general has hinted at delta russia is still a partner of the alliance and revealed some of what this organization is planning to do about it more details are coming up. the threat posed by would be jihad is travelling to and from the middle east is making u.k. authorities raise the alarm police they are now encouraging the public to inform on anyone they think could potentially be on the part to radicalism the metropolitan police's counterterrorism chief has appealed for help to identify aspiring terrorists that could mean anyone traveling abroad or coming back to britain the
8:08 am
public has also been asked to keep an eye on individuals showing signs of being converted to radical islam now the number of terror related arrests is already soaring with sixty nine people held in the first half of this year. security services say up to one thousand british residents have already joined the jihadi fight in iraq and syria and up to two hundred fifty hardliners are believed to have returned to the u.k. posing a serious headache for security as well as police homegrown militants say taking part in the holy war is a sacred duty but authorities wonder just how much the official policy of multiculturalism is to blame as marina cost investigates multiculturalism was one celebrated as the way forward but after thirty years of cultivating it in britain it's now being blamed for foster an extremist ideology and directly contributed to homegrown islamic terror for too long the doctrine of
8:09 am
multiculturalism has led to immigrants establishing completely separate communities in our cities. these has led to honor killings female genital circumcision and the establishment of sharia law in inner city pockets throughout the u.k. islamic radicals should be challenged with the values of liberal democracy. that's why issue to do with multiculturalism in britain which i think has led to death so why is ation a sort of bottom up apartheid that is a. i think unfortunately 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 how this is just hard to get to the brits or suspects we had an 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
8:10 am
time that you are in some way in the conflict there 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 say the threat of violence has increased and clean nationalism and we know phobia they say be made into scapegoats has frames their everyday lives dramatically so i'm 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
8:11 am
a gradual sense of of a drip drip of cases which comes in from the trojan horse we had cases that came in from the isis if 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 are almost. should for this this so-called hate campaign is seen mostly on the internet with muslims being the frequent targets of answering the 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 for something they have absolutely no control of the war of extremism as their rage and
8:12 am
just as much as that of nationalism the problem for the government is finding a fine line so it doesn't end up falling into either camp during the course of our reports or from london for us. to deal with the rise of perjury charges sentiment the u.k. is home secretary theresa may has outlined a series of new measures so people who travel to syria could now be investigated for those with dual nationality could be stripped of their citizenship as well as new naturalized britons fighting abroad and those returning from the war zones could be prosecuted other plans have already set a trend with no way now also considering revoking citizenship of people found taking part in terror activities or wars abroad but. a member of the muslim women's network in the u.k. says such strategy is not well thought out. the strategies that the government and the police forces of launching needs to be holistic not just
8:13 am
a single prong which says ok we're going to prevent people or we're going to take away passports or whatever we need to provide support we need to look at why young people feel they have to go with many mostly immune people i think that there is a lack of identity that they decide and crisis that they are facing which is leading them to look for something that they can relate to and belong to and they want a purpose and that purpose is not being fulfilled in their own country they're looking somewhere else and they are they are vulnerable they're vulnerable to these people and the people who are recruiting are obviously aware of that fact and they are mounting quite targeted and sustained campaigns to recruit these sorts of people that they would like to join them. majors or mulling countermoves to challenge what the head of the alliance called russia's reluctance to quote consider a partner and quote in an interview to the european press and restless and outlined
8:14 am
nato's latest plans for eastern europe now that includes ensuring part permanent international arm deployment on russian doorsteps nato already has a so-called response force but rasmussen believes that now needs to be spearheaded he also spoke of closer ties with ukraine the alliance is to decide the amount of aid it will send over to kiev which is currently involved in a bloody crackdown on opposition forces on its own territory and get more analysis on the other interview from james the hobbit who is the editor of the covered report an independent japan based news out there james good to see you again so how much of a game changer is all those for europe. well sadly the fact that nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen and the nato powers generally have been exposed as liars over their repeated promises in recent years that there would not be the establishment of a permanent military base in eastern europe it comes as no surprise to anyone who
8:15 am
understands that this is just part of a string of broken promises that need to was strewn behind them for the past two and a half decades going back at least to the point in one nine hundred ninety where according to both former soviet president mikhail gorbachev and former u.s. ambassador to russia jack matlock as well as the classified documents of meetings between the former german so foreign minister and soviet foreign minister that there was a clear commitment made at that time in one thousand nine hundred during the german reunification process that need to would not expand eastward into europe in fact the quote was not a thumb's with further to the east and of course that has been broken time and time again over the past two and a half decades to the point where. we were needed with situating missile defense shield sites in poland and in romania the point guided missile destroyers to rota spain over the next two years as part of the nato missile shield and of course commentating with obama's announcement in june that a one billion dollars would be put towards
8:16 am
a european security fund specifically to help poland and the eastern european nato allies this is just another part of that bigger picture that shows that nato is not committed to peace and stability in the region they are looking to be the dominant military power james so much information that you've just given us but i just want to touch on what dress listen has just said he said he's gay he kept avoiding the term permanent base but when asked if there would be permanent nato international diplomats he said yes so what does that mean. well it means whatever they want it to mean at this point i think this is still the diplomatic language that is used still a bit whatever eventuates from this they get to say that it was part of the plan all along i think we have to read this as as a commitment towards the establishment of permanent military bases specifically because that has been on the table now for a number of years and has been actively denied so i think that the fact that they are not coming out and saying this and they are not specifying where these bases will be situated is just part of the diplomatic dance that's taking place right now
8:17 am
but we have to understand that there is a permanent military deployment that is being considered right now that is that is absolutely a mark of brinksmanship that is bringing the world closer to global war and confrontation how far will they have to go in supporting ukraine. well that really depends on how far that they they they feel that they can go and unfortunately i don't think that there is any boundary to that obviously ukraine has been involved in an in a diplomatic effort with with nato to become a member since at the very least since the two thousand and eight application to the new membership action plan and unfortunately that process is taking place in the still continuing to take place in the midst of this ukrainian crisis which is itself a incredible mark of provocation and clearly again a sign of a commitment not to peace or stability or to the easing of tensions but to the increasing of those tensions and unfortunately poland also holds the card of being able to invoke article five of the north atlantic treaty the founding document of
8:18 am
nato which allows any member that feels itself to be under attack to to call on the collective self-defense of nato as a whole which of course would allow the nato to really react and interact with ukraine in any way that they feel would be justified in that scenario so that's again i think the single greatest threat to peace on the planet at this moment why is russia then say it no longer willing to be a part as nato puts it it i mean that's the way they see it this is of course intended to to be a slight against for example russia withdrawing from the the talks the negotiations that have been going on with nato over the missile shield that nato has been deploying astin sibly to counter iran's but it's being situated in poland and romania clearly intended to do it to be a targeting russia so i think russia is now understanding that nato is acting in bad faith that they are not going to fulfill their obligations commitments or promises as is again being displayed today and as
8:19 am
a part of that needle is now calling on russia names in an effort to try to discredit them in this process and to point fingers away from what they are doing themselves they become but as always giving us a lot to chew on the editor of the college report live here on r.t. thank you. you're all right i'll be back with more news after the break to stay with us don't go away. there's a medium leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same push to secure the other your party visible. pushes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . decent full scope becoming independent schools a nation the nation should be self-governing they govern the feels better than
