great have your company once again my name is the harvey and you're watching r.t. international a cease fire is essential to pacify ukraine that statement came from putin as he spoke on the phone with german chancellor angela merkel the conversation came after the russian president had his first sit down meeting with ukraine's leader at an international summit in men. has more. witness the first ever hint between the current president of russia and ukraine and just your onlookers hoped it would herald some kind of breakthrough but didn't put in said the talks went well but insisted the most pressing issue finding a solution to the conflict in ukraine was something needs to settle but if you go there should we didn't talk in detail about it and frankly speaking russia can
3:02 pm
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 ukraine in 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 near 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 but 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. r.t. minsk. and earlier i asked a london based political commentator alexander the close of about the significance of this 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
3:04 pm
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 expressing 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 the 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 its shoulder to see what the european union and especially washington are doing and saying about that they're not unfortunately the coverage of this humanitarian aid in the western media and
3:05 pm
british media as well was quite you know on the slick it was appalling and to put to to pretend that this humanitarian aid was some sort of a and the attempt to invade ukraine was absolutely preposterous here is a clear cut humanitarian program and yet we see this you know compare a sort of i don't think i'm sorry to say this i don't think that we'll see a sort of a smoove and three into ukraine over another call in the way unfortunately politics will be there as well. civilian areas remained in the sights of ukraine's army in the country's east with residential parts of done yet skun lugansk being hit on a daily basis says it's only targeting rebel fighters the outskirts of the regional hub done yet scuff come under violent shelling once again our correspondent paula slayer trouble there. we're hearing from him in ski where a short time ago

3:07 pm
a residential apartment with his people here still in a state of shock it's only about half an hour since the rockets here want to see are two coming in eastern ukraine. the fiercest fighting is currently being reported in the town of vice skin the don't yet school region ukraine's national guard was surrounded by government militias. which is coming up for you here these are from the town they've been posted online by the national guard who reportedly suffered some serious losses there local resistance fighters have claimed today that they have retaken control of the strategic town which houses a railway. however hasn't been confirmed by authorities in kiev are fighting in because prompted a strong reaction from the national guard commanded commanders this is what one of them posted on his facebook page he claims the fighters trapped in the town of being lied to and abandoned by the generals in kiev he's also called for help from the people.
3:08 pm
and these are scenes from central kiev where hundreds of indeed gathered in front of the presidential administration building in response to that call and they are venting their anger over what they call government inaction and with the violence in a live ice they're demanding the president orders an immediate pullout from the town to save the lives of fighters who've 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 now this is what wednesday's edition of the left wing newspaper younger veldt looks like a global campaign for the release of the veteran war zone photographer kicked off almost immediately following his disappearance however has been reluctant to participate saying it has no knowledge of stand ins fate.

in a holy war is their sacred duty but authours he's wondered just how much the official policy of multiculturalism is to blame as marina cos of investigates multiculturalism was once celebrated as the way forward but after thirteen years of cultivated there 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 multiculturalism has led to immigrants establishing completely separate communities in our cities these are slow 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. why issue to do with multiculturalism in britain which i think has led to guess why zation a sort of bottom up apartheid that has occurred i think unfortunately that it is
3:11 pm
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 hired the jobs that british suspect thoughts 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 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 doing nationals who are fighting abroad this also applies to immigrants who have become naturalized citizens but the home office lawyers argue that
3:12 pm
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 claimed 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 wind of it was that they know but also through the national papers and by politicians who of calling are all muslim. 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
3:13 pm
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 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 our reports or from london for a city. of the deal with the rise of project had a sentiment the yukos home secretary theresa may has outlined a series of new measures so people who travel to syria or iran could now be investigated with your nationality could be stripped of their citizenship as well as naturalized britons fighting abroad those returning from the war zones could be
3:14 pm
prosecuted for the plans have already set a trend with norway now also considering revoking citizenship of people found taking part in terrorist activities or wars abroad rather than a dame a 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 that 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 have his political posturing within our
3:15 pm
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 we have these people saying the only course can be people who interpret in their religion in a literalist weight and therefore going to fight when actually for many muslims that's not often they feel their brothers and sisters or muslim brothers sisters being oppressed by someone and they need to do something about it the language has been used by terrorism a but people like boris johnson and other top politicians really for muslims what it does is for many young muslims who are already quite disenfranchised by the political establishment oil is a slur that entrenched those opinions that they hold and it further isolates and progress the society and drives them towards other people's hands. you stay with us coming up for you after the break nato's latest move on the european chess board and plenty more.
