it's going to be. russia can't set conditions for settling ukraine's crisis but we'll do everything to facilitate peace that was a statement from president putin as he sat down with his ukrainian counterpart. for the very first time. british authorities of being left shocked by the growing number of people being radicalized into jihad they now want to take passports of those going to war zones. citizens to spy on potential terrorists. the popularity of civilian drones grows in the u.s. the small aircraft buzzing through the skies are turning into a serious threat traffic.

thanks for joining us once again my name is the harvey and you're watching international. russia will do its best to help set up a peace process in ukraine those words coming from vladimir putin now this handshake that you can see here it came shortly before the first the sit down meeting of the russian and ukrainian presidents at an international summit in minsk r.t. so we know as more means clinton is the first ever here between the current president of russia and ukraine and just your onlookers hoped would herald some kind of breakthrough there isn't put in said talks went well but insisted the most pressing issue in finding a solution to the conflict in ukraine was something needs to settle but if you go in there should we didn't talk in detail about it and frankly speaking russia can

propose any conditions for a cease fire or speak about 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 but are in my view very necessary. something that is becoming a problem is the humanitarian catastrophe in ukrainian cities of them is going the guns hundreds of thousands of refugees are fleeing for safety many coming over the border where there was real movement was in discussions over the gas dispute between the two countries put in promise negotiations will restart in the nearest future because it's a problem which affects the e.u. just as much as it does. the russian president was all smiles ahead of the one on one with poroshenko the ukrainian leaders face betrayed the fact he was probably a little less relaxed ahead of talks with a lot riding on them. it was a day of tough negotiations but the logic of the peace plan was supported by heads

of state. ultimately though no real breakthrough came in attempts to end the bloody struggle in ukraine but after the events of recent months just the fact the leaders are talking is some kind of progress it in a goes r.t. minsk. and earlier i asked a london based political commentator alexander crass about the significance of that meeting. it beats everything else you know all these huge conferences and seoul and i think that it's a start obviously nobody was expecting some huge breakthrough so there but judging by the way president poroshenko rushed rushed off to the ukrainian embassy it seems that he had something to say to his western backers and i suspect that that was something very important alexander today we had received foreign minister saying that humanitarian aid to eastern ukraine was discussed and makes that first let's

just have a quick listen to exactly what sergey lavrov had to say everyone has characterized the situation in ukraine's east as a humanitarian catastrophe everyone has stressed the importance of humanitarian aid we have already sent the first convoy to ukraine and we've addressed key officially expression our will to send a second one the president discussed it yesterday when they met i to i so we expect to find logistic and technical solutions soon to be able to send a second convoy and we hope it will not be the last one do you think then we will see indeed a second convoy and that it will face less obstacles or perhaps none at all from kiev the government in kiev contra resist this sort of to play some sort of a political card and of course it's looking all but it's shoulder to see what the european union and especially washington are doing and saying about that and i unfortunately the coverage of this humanitarian aid in the western media and

british media as well was quite you know on the slick it was appalling and to put to to pretend that this humanitarian aid were some sort of a and that them to invade ukraine was absolutely preposterous here is a clear cut humanitarian program and yet we see this you know complain sort of and i don't think i'm sorry to say this i don't think that we'll see a sort of a smooth and three into ukraine over another call in the way unfortunately politics will be there as well. civilian areas remain in the sights of ukraine's army in the country's east with the residential parts of done yet another ganske being hit on a daily basis says it's only targeting rebel fighters the outskirts of the regional hub done yet scupper come under violent shelling once again paula slee a trouble there for us. we're hearing from him in ski where a short time ago

a rocket hit the building as you can see the fire brigade is still here on the roof of. the aim and the front. of the situation. but there are no. here there is a car where three people have gone my age and their bodies are badly burned to find some of the smoke still coming out of the car when not far from the building where the rockets were from all around. glass windows that have completely shattered there is nothing on the ground if remains the whole front of the building has been destroyed and along with people that have now come out to see. what's happening is we're hearing from the soldiers that there were around six to seven hits at the same time one of them has not exploded so they're waiting now for reinforcements to come under but they're trying to keep the residents away as you

can see this is a residential apartment that was has people here still in a state of shock it's only about half an hour since the rockets here want to see on t.v. coming in eastern ukraine. fierce fighting is currently being reported in the town of vice the don't yet screeching ukraine's national guard was surrounded by government militias. these pictures are from the town they've been posted online by the national guards who reportedly suffered serious losses local resistance fighters have claimed today that they have retaken control of that strategic town which is a railway hub about however being confirmed by. the fighting in eleven because prompted a strong reaction from the national guard commanders this is what one of them posted on his facebook page he claims that the fighters trapped in the town of been lied to and the by. by the generals in kiev he also points the blame to the fact

that he claims the national guard is now in the pockets of the country's minister of defense and the head of the military operation. these are scenes from central kiev where hundreds of gathered in front of the presidential administration building and they're venting their anger over what they call government inaction of the violence in a low voice and they're demanding the president orders an immediate pullout from the town to save the lives of fighters who have been trapped there the crowds also shouted slogans calling for the country's defense minister to be sacked. germany has become the latest country to lend its weight to the campaign to find russian journalist under a stand in who's been missing in ukraine since the fifth of august this is what wednesday's edition of the left wing newspaper universe looked like a global campaign for the release of the veteran was over target for kicked off almost immediately following his disappearance here however has been reluctant to

participate saying it has no knowledge of stand ins fate. nato keeps pointing fingers at moscow when it comes to the crisis in ukraine it's like the general this interview sounds russia still a partner of the allies some revealed some of what his organization is planning to do about more details coming up. the threat posed by would be hardest travelling to and from the middle east is making u.k. authorities raise the alarm police there are now encouraging the public to inform on anyone they think could potentially be on the path to radicalism the metropolitan police's counterterrorism chief has appealed for help to identify aspiring terrorists now it could mean anybody traveling abroad or coming back to britain the public is also being asked to keep an eye on individuals showing signs of being converted to radical islam 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 and for police homegrown militants say that taking part in the holy war is their sacred duty but i thought he was wonder just how much the official policy of multiculturalism is to blame as. investigates multiculturalism was once celebrated as the way forward but after thirty years of cultivated it 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 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. wider issue to do with multiculturalism in britain which i think has led to guess why is asian and 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 and there are bits of light out exactly how this is just hard to the british suspect thoughts have they 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 time that you are in some way involved in the conflict there and i think that the 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 the 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 clearly rationalism and we know phobia they say be made into scapegoats has trained 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 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 blindly jewels that they know but also through the national papers and by politicians who of calling out that almost. should onset 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 for something they have absolutely no control of the war of extremism is now raging 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

a reporter from london for a city deal with the rise of prose you had a center in the u.k.'s home secretary theresa may has outlined a series of new measures so people who travel to syria or iraq could now be investigated those with dual nationality could be stripped of their citizenship as well as naturalized britons fighting abroad and those returning from the war zones could be prosecuted and the plans of already set a trend as well with norway now also considering revoking citizenship of people found taking part in terror activities or was abroad rather than a demon media spokesman for the muslim public affairs committee told me the new measures could further alienate british muslims. we're not having a discussion about the issue always that's being said is is you know we doubt these terrorists in your community who defines what's a terrorist who defines extremism and for muslims for many muslims the definition of extremism nowadays seems to be anyone that seems to show any care for muslims

around the world are suffering from oppression what do you make of the police calling on members of the public to report on people that they suspect of being radicalized the anti terror legislation and the way the police is currently working is not it's not working in dealing with terrorism and the issues we face if we are going to have an honest discussion about how do we deal with extremism how do we deal with terrorism then really we can't have his political posturing within our political establishment and with police what do you think should be done about britons who have been radicalized and intending to head back to british or how do you think they should be dealt with right now what we have is people saying the only course can be people who interpret in their religion in a literalist way and therefore going to fight when actually for many muslims that's not often they feel their brothers and sisters of the muslim brothers sisters being oppressed by someone and they need to do something about it the language has been used by terrorism a was employed boys johnson and other top politicians written for

muslims what it does is for many young muslims who are already quite disenfranchised by the political establishment euler's is further entrenched those opinions that they hold and they further isolates and from british society and drives them towards other people's attitudes. and for joining us this evening and indeed i do hope you'll stay with us i'll be back with more news after this short break. different leader in syria. many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months. to feel less. present. which is diddy's time for him to go. to be released to syria is really the stuff.

we all told you my language as well but i would react to a comment on your latter point. secure yeah because i'm going to talk you know going to. jail no more weasel words. when you need a direct question are you prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for a. pretty speech. down the freedom to. welcome back nato is mulling counter moves to challenge what the head of the alliance called russia's reluctance to considers a partner in an interview to the european press on this photograph misson outline nato's latest plans for eastern europe that includes ensuring permanent international deployments on russia's doorstep nato already has

a so-called response force but rasmussen believes it now needs to be spearheaded he also spoke of close atari's with you cry the alliance is yet to decide on 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. well since tensions in ukraine sought in february nato as military activity anything europe has been steadily on the rise study included a series of mass drills in countries bordering russia and air patrols over the baltics so well its aircraft were sent to the region around ukraine and nato as warships was seen in the black sea james corbett the editor of the corporate report thinks that rasmussen's words prove his alliances routinely pushing towards domination in the area i think we have to read this 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 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 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 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 united nations says that islamic state militants have committed mass atrocities in syria including systematic killings and public executions the latest report also accuses the syrian government of war crimes including the suspected use of chlorine gas eight separate incidents earlier this year let's bring in defense consultant to void row for more on this now thanks for joining us traditionally what we've seen is the west blaming the syrian government for this conflict so what do you make of the fact then there we're now hearing the u.n. accusing islamic state militants of what they called systematic killings. well the

u.n. . mandated investigation hasn't actually visited any sites that they claim have been. of chemical weapons have been used by the syrian government so they don't have any proof in actual fact that these weapons have been deployed there do you believe let's let's just say for argument's sake there have been deployed they do have no idea who's deployed them. we know from the past that it's been the first say and the rebels and probably the new group that's emerged. who have been using these so that they they can say definitively that it's the syrian government because they haven't been to these locations to investigate thoroughly and have no samples from the areas neither have they seen any bodies to take samples from let's talk about the timing of those those alleged attacks using

chlorine gas because the report claims that they occurred in april and may of this year i'm just wondering the timing because that's also the period that coincides with the rise of the islamic state jihadist you think there's any significance in that time are they trying to make a connection for us. well you know it is exactly that these chemical weapons if there are actual chemical weapons being used came in from iraq and we know this from last year's record on our t. as well that weapon factories have been found in iraq and the sarin gas and what have you have not been. manufactured in syria but actually brought in from probably i suspect from saudi arabia or qatar or elsewhere turkey is another likely route that they have used other plans are going to said that in order to defeat the islamic state they would probably need to go into syria we've

also heard the former head of the british army lord down it calling on you could start building bridges with assad do you think that's where his country ok mon thank you so much listen to the thoughts of defense consultant more in row now civilian drones are becoming more and more popular in the united states is causing growing concern for pilots of conventional planes here is an online map for you of commercial flights over the u.s. that we've taken the last few hours we took it from the website flight radar twenty four dot com just look how busy the sky over america actually is no surprise then that is the number of drones rises the number of close calls is also on the up in march a u.s. airways pilot reported a near miss with a tiny drone over tallahassee airport in florida next like wadia in new york registered a black drone zipping towards a large aircraft it was a seven hundred meters above lower manhattan and planes near los angeles

international said that they want saw an unidentified aircraft the size of a rubbish bin just out the window going to church you can has more. 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 their 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 has 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 bedroom 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 drones 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 incidents have been reported and that's only among registered drawl. what happens if one of these things falls and hits a kid on the head. if it's a politician's kid we won't have to worry about drones anymore. there are many what ifs in this rapid expansion in the use of drones many concerns ranging from safety to privacy what if stalkers get their hands on drones anyway while business is on law enforcement are exploring all the wonderful ways they could use the remotely controlled aircraft one operations coordinated with the national air traffic controllers association describes the upcoming integration of drones international airspace as the tsunami headed for the front porch after all the u.s. has the busiest airspace in the world is about to get busier and possibly more dangerous in washington i'm going to check on our team. i hope to see the top of
