this is why you should care only. respond to the russian president's request. called government soldiers to leave. by saying that they can. and this comes as ukrainian. leaving at least two people dead. and american police departments admit. raising fears they.

welcome to the program the ukrainian troops encircled by anti government fighters in the east of the country have received support from the russian president vladimir putin has called on the militias to release the soldiers to avoid casualties saying the troops there are following orders and his appeal has already been heard and the leader of the republic saying the troops will be given a safe way out on the condition. of the. ready to provide humanitarian corridor. soldiers on the condition that they behave the weaponry and i mean if she says in the future these weapons can't be used against us. the fate of the trapped soldiers. in the streets of the ukrainian capital a several hundred people gathered outside the ministry of defense. you know what

they called the government in action nobody in so called troops and demanded the resignation of the minister of defense. and ukraine's president says moscow and kiev osce set to begin consultations on how to patrol the border together shortly before that petro poroshenko but accused russia of invading ukraine details now from fall asleep she's in eastern ukraine. well certainly the messages that are coming out of kiev are mixed indeed the latest comments from the ukrainian president petro poroshenko is an offer of cooperation that ukrainian and russian troops jointly patrol the ukrainian russian border so that no kind of military hardware can cross through that border now this comes hot on the heels of an earlier statement in which he directly accused russia of invading ukraine border were visible today because of the escalation of the situation in the denounce greed and because of the french rule in gratian of ukrainian territory by the russian army i have decided to cancel my visit to turkey now russia has repeatedly denied

that it's giving any kind of military assistance or troops to the government fighters a spokesperson for the united nations secretary general has said that there is no there for cation that indeed russian troops are inside ukraine now spokesperson for the anti-government fighters had said that there are some russian volunteers fighting within their ranks but there were three to four thousand of them among us many of them have already left time even more still here at least some have been killed many of those russian volunteers a former soldiers now these ukrainian claims that russia is providing assistance to the anti-government fighters come at a crucial time and why it's so critical is because we see these anti-government fighters pushing the ukrainian soldiers back from previously held positions the anti-government commandos also went on to say that the aim of this counter offensive operation was to protect the civilian population of the debates region

from the ukrainian military he also said that the army was targeting populated areas and critical infrastructure in terms of water gas and electricity supplies so that the result would be a burnt and earlier on thursday there was a barrage of rockets that hit the same to me s'soumya mine they just moments later people were sweeping up. gloss and simply sobbing and telling us they could not believe what was happening. to what was a small mosque right in a city santa up in a space you can see the rocket has hit the whole flight the whole facade of the building now we're being told that two people at least were killed while waking up at the local bus station he got up looked at the wall of the people for the look a little closer look a little it. look here. look look look look look look look at

it yeah one place in australia i hate being covered with his sheeting. and i think that i'm going through those in the distance what happened that you still do you know it was the duty of a dormir dumb to speak out but it was reported for you that this is to be understood we'll talk with the doctor says a woman lying on the ground here and he's being killed she was the worker and the school stole she was hit by the impact of the rockets and the last. half of bodies being blown away and we're waiting now for the ambulance to come and take you to the moon you don't need to be a proper bowler these workers know what to do if one used one of the supports this is one of the residential buildings that has been hit people are coming back now to clean up their apartments and to see with names this is a bomb shelter of the fair which is covered by a door knob nobody is inside of the moment effects immediately off to the rockets way and people can come you can put them through her girth was nurtured this year if the earth was nurtured or didn't search your sister marie what. it is now the

sound of incoming artillery so we can get out of here what some people are telling us is that is an army barracks in the vicinity and they think that the ukrainian army was aiming for that rather than these residential buildings points here on t.v. downtown donates. in the meantime rushers defense ministry says by releasing satellite pictures apparently showing. troops inside ukraine nato will only taint its international reputation and the ministry says commenting on them is absolutely pointless so let's show you the images that nato has presented as absolute proof the pictures apparently show russian self-propelled artillery units moving in a convoy through ukraine is territory or other images allegedly show activity in russia adjacent to the ukrainian border something that nato says as part of moscow's destabilizing strategy and daniel mcadams the executive director of the ron paul institute he shared his thoughts but i think these were released by the

same they were taken by the same company that the u.s. had used to relieve its satellite information about m.h. seventeen the malaysian air flight the existence of bones by the rebels in ukraine and so i think it has very dubious credibility it's a private firm i don't think it shows anything i don't think what most people in the west understand is that everyone on both sides with the exception of some ukrainians having american weapons but everyone is using russian weapons the line of russian tanks means nothing because we don't have the information to tell us where it came from as to whether russia has troops on its border if it's inside its border you know there what business is that if we had unrest on the border with mexico here in the u.s. you'd be sure we'd have a military presence there to make sure our borders were secure and claims by the ukrainian president of russia had invaded his country certainly so many media taken up the story and running wild with that guy nature can have

a look at some of the coverage. panic alert in western media after key of twitter that russia invaded ukraine when reports started coming in that fighting broke out between the rebels and ukrainian forces in the port town of. many were quick to claim that it's russia's doing what seems to be happening on the ground however is that russian troops of pushing in from russia photos of tanks emerged to social media with nothing to suggest that they were operated by russian soldiers q put out this video claiming it's a russian. but while journalists were grappling with the new developments and struggling with the pronunciation of the town that was supposedly being invaded this is no bus got u.s. and nato officials pushed ahead with accusing russia of deploying more than one thousand troops and heavy artillery into ukraine the media quickly picked up on the statement of the rebel leader saying that there are indeed russian soldiers

fighting with the rebels but that they are either veterans or on vacation the part about veterans and vacation is often dismissed in the media last week ukraine called russia's delivery of humanitarian aid into eastern ukraine an invasion this week accuse moscow of quote unquote a full scale invasion the western media that is generally not putting much distinction between rebels and washer quickly picked up that side of the story that is despite the fact that this thursday the ois see which is now monitoring the russian border with ukraine said they saw no evidence of russian troops and tanks crossing the border the u.n. said it could not independently verify the reports of the russian invasion but a u.n. security council meeting was called upon where its western members push to hold russia responsible russia stop this conflict at least two thousand two hundred twenty people including twenty three children have died in the conflict in

eastern ukraine. but we have never heard the u.s. ambassador to the un call on key to stop bombing its own people in washington i'm going to check out our team. the international monetary fund says ukraine is so far on track to receive financial aid that is today the i.m.f. will discuss the next one point four billion dollar handout for the lender has expressed doubt that the money will be enough to cover the government's needs of the country's economy shrank almost five percent in the second quarter of this year with major firms losing ten billion dollars over the first half of the year over the same time last year they were several hundred million in profit and ukraine's national currency the group is also losing value their authorities had said the economy would be unsustainable if the currency falls to more than twelve to the dollar well it's thirteen and a half right now and let's tell you here's what the i.m.f.

initially said kiev had to do in order to get the financial aid it wanted ukraine to raise tariffs for gas electricity and other utilities the same time freezing pensions freezing wages and raising taxes but now there are additional conditions being clued slashing tax benefits for agriculture and allowing banks to repossess property wall street analyst michael hansen believes ukraine is peering straight into the financial abyss. ukraine is not meeting the i missed edition nor is the i.m.f. meeting its own conditions under the articles of agreement it's never just lend money to a country that is unable to pay the repayment of these demands is going to force the ukrainian currency way down they're going to make imports much more expensive for ukrainians they're going to increase the cost of living the government will withdraw the price supports for gas and for other essential so the cost of living

will go up unemployment will rise gradients are going to be leaving to the west to the east because the economy will be killed by the conditions of this level and this is what the i.m.f. economists inside internally have been complaining about they said wait a minute the i.m.f. loan to greece we've already seen that it tore the greek economy apart you know you're doing the same thing with ukraine so if you want to see what will happen in ukraine look at what happened after two thousand and twelve to the i.m.f. loan be greece it's a disaster. now the foreign press association in london has become the latest organization calling for information on a russian journalist who's been missing in ukraine for over three weeks now and said andre spend then must be released if indeed he's being held by security forces the group also said old media should be allowed to cover the ukrainian conflict freely and without harassment photo correspondent stan in

a he disappeared in eastern ukraine on august the fifth with online users setting up a campaign carrying the hash tag free entry. thanks for joining us it's aussie international live from moscow libya into the oil since the war that ousted gadhafi back in twenty and the interim government resigns over pressure from islamist forces coming up here on the program expert opinion on who's behind the rival forces there continue to a country apart. big toys for big boys we had to moscow's twenty fourteen check out what's been rolled out by the chinese on the western company's sanctions on no sanctions.

differently here in syria many of the members of congress of both parties who have gone to syria in recent months have said. mr president which is diddy's telling him to go. to the peace to syria is really. stories others refuse to notice. things is changing. so picture. from around the globe.

past the hour here in moscow libya's interim government has resigned after is the mists tighten their grip on the country pushing it towards its worst crisis since twenty eleven and this comes days after militants declared a breakaway regime to rival the elected parliament. does remain split between two rival camps one controlled by islamists back to rebel factions the other by a. who was a u.s. citizen and a rogue general from that era so on one side it's the islamist militias are receiving support from turkey and on the other though the current regime is apparently backed by egypt and the arab emirates reportedly carried out air strikes against militia positions last week a political writer and journalist told us the conflict in the country has now

turned into a proxy war. if you look at what's happened subsequently to the destruction of libyan state at the hands of nato and their rebel allies on the ground this libya's been turned from being before twenty eleven a linchpin of reasonable stability to a safe haven actually for sectarian death squads and militias of all kinds. from from around the region they're already still involved in in the chaos in libya and in the us both a huge deal as to the qatari regime there and qatar is the one who is arming the militias that are causing such chaos in libya so that would be that would be a start would be to stop arming those of their allies who are arming their militias in libya that that would be a great start to recognize the role they're already playing in destabilizing libya and to stop doing that let's show you how the power struggle in libya unfolded this

year it was a may that the rogue. launched a counter offensive against the islamists to try and bring them under control that was in may and then in june there was an election that straight after a number of officials defected to the islamists and formed a parallel government and it was just last month an islamic emirate was declared in benghazi and tripoli airport was sieged when the extremists finally took control of the airport this month the central government asked for foreign help but we've got plenty more stories for you online including right now the risk of death is no reason to miss out on some fun with guns because that's what one powerful u.s. and gun lobby things just one day after a nine year old girl accidentally shot and killed her shooting instructor a lot he came up with approach seven ways children can have fun at the shooting range that story about the dot com. also during the swimmer got the shock of his

life when he climbed out of the english channel because u.k. border police were. waiting with a towel and a pair of handcuffs to arrest him as an illegal immigrant. and now the results of a media investigation suggest over one hundred eighty police departments in america have many weapons missing the findings come amid accusations that police forces have resorted to using military style equipment to crackdown on protests in the town of ferguson missouri let's take just several states for example in georgia not only pistols of vanished but fourteen m. sixteen machine guns as well and then to california the same heavy weaponry has disappeared there as well arty's and i started reporting on a very real concern about whose hands these weapons are falling into. debate over a heavily militarized police force in the us continues to rage on as another twist in how weapons are handled by law enforcement agencies across the country is revealed according to an independent investigation by media outlet fusion into the

pentagon's ten thirty three program as many as one hundred eighty four state and local police departments have been suspended for losing military level equipment provided to them by the pentagon this comes following events that unraveled in ferguson missouri where law enforcement in the head to toe military gear attempted to tackle protests in a largely unprecedented crackdown on civilian streets now the pentagon's equipment transfer and program is reported to have provided over eight thousand police departments with over four point three billion dollars worth of military equipment and weapons since nine hundred ninety fusions investigation revealed an eyebrow raising trend recording instances of not only noncompliance to the pentagon's guidelines but dangerous weapons not being accounted for and essentially getting lost this list includes m fourteen an m sixteen assault rifles pistols shotguns and even military vehicles like humvees and reportedly at least two cases when it comes

to lost firearms in arizona alone one department was documented to have lost eleven or twelve weapons no less other states that have been poorly keeping track of weaponry include missouri california mississippi and georgia that's according to fusion and while the pentagon has said the goal of the program has been to improve homeland security its application is raising harsh criticism especially in the aftermath of recent events in ferguson where issues of police misconduct overly violent heavily militarized and unaccountable. forefront so these last revelations on a poor bookkeeping track record in almost two hundred police departments across the u.s. are already drawing sharp criticism and a demand for answers from officials purview of the ten thirty thirty three program is currently being conducted by the white house and as they say check it out they are as good have you with us today after insisting moscow is not doing enough to ease tensions in ukraine washington's preparing more economic sanctions against

russia and the sentiment was echoed by german chancellor angela merkel who said the e.u. is also considering whether to step up its own restrictions however already there are many politicians who can sort of us policy counterproductive that number continues to grow as. does was different sanctions and a trade war means improving the situation on the country we have a spear all first place in the times to german and european economies my experience is that many people rejected the sanctions right from the start they have their rightful feeling that this is not the way to achieve anything the. sanctions are always prove that the political means feel they are useless and they are harming the population sanctions always lead to losses on both sides and you can already see the backlash from the sanctions but in the next couple of months it will be even more obvious you know what i'm talking. from the beginning it was the wrong approach because sanctions escalated the situation and did not ease the tension is

it was clear when the imposed sanctions that there would be a counter reaction and the stakes would be raised and now because of that a lot of entrepreneurs as well as the general public in germany has been affected by that. and i one place push to spot the ill effect of sanctions and well in moscow right here with a glittering twenty fourteen car show european and chinese manufacturers have rolled out some of the latest models they said actually parts of the car market in russia are really booming aussies could be in when to check it out you got behind the wheel. of the nazi cars and gorgeous women and you would be forgiven for thinking that the constant threat of global sanctions again and also wasn't really a feature all the fun but the car industry is taking a little bit of a slump at the moment it's a bit of a rocky ride bus the bus market is still one that everyone wants to tap into and not the case in about five years time that if it's a big jumbo one that has the biggest in the us if we do take sanctions in mind this

may not be german industry headed by about twenty five bucks but it's in the company and they don't seem to think i'm a. mistake about basis. to remain absolutely giddy keep your strategy of growth in russia we believe that differently and growth is still going to continue over the next few months in years to come and when you look at it to over two million vehicles are being sold in russia right now which is still one of the top automotive markets in the world now there is still about like being imposed upon the calling industry specific plate now this one affects foreign policy companies that produce that hey we've got some eighty percent of them some talk about so yourself. miss out but one of the importing of components not something that the modified just some of the sickly enthused about there will be some. more

they all tell you go straight from russia garments they already you start to the cheap or something european brands from europe to russia and. there will be something that's here in the market i think we can see. some at th space and a week a lot so are you perhaps that's what secular affects the feel brother and not the luxor a well the bus and they love that russian stove of it it looks great for sure they do. we're very happy here with a very healthy market so we typically have over thirty percent of the tree but keep to the automobile sector they were the very best so whatever but this is the best must not snow melt these two sets of be a great cause with more plecos on side than at the full ninety labels and one visit is expected still be enough to drive the markets start coming up after the

break here on r.t.e. the national politicking with larry king thanks for joining us. i know a famous politician is tweeting that a for government is using excessive force against protesting citizens does this mean we're going to see yet another intervention to democratize their government into the dirt like in iraq or libya wait wait nothing is going to happen because that politician is russian but why is this so why can the police beat up or terrorize protesters in some countries but in others if you lift one finger you are going to get a needle lesson in human rights well the answer is simple this tweet any attempts

to intervene from do a member of what happened because unlike what they tell you in school might does it make right for you young ones out there all group of kirby remembers the cold war and back when there were two great powers. they had to at least behave well to woo people into believing that one side were the good guys now that's all gone the problem is they model polar world that we live in heck if the us still had to deal with soviet or some other propaganda we would never see as much footage of flagrant police misconduct that we do now absolute power corrupts absolutely and the geo political monopoly that we all live in really isn't good for the average person in or outside of america especially if they want to protest but that's just my opinion .

he says the usa is going the wrong way and he's got a conservative plan for putting him back on track representative paul ryan of wisconsin the g.o.p. vice presidential nominee in two thousand and twelve is with us to talk about his vision for america's way forward so all next on politics.

the politicking on larry king it's a pleasure to watch. presented of paul ryan republican of wisconsin to the show he was a two thousand and twelve g.o.p. vice presidential nominee but is there another white house run in his future we'll ask he is the author of the new book the way forward renewing the american idea by the way later in the show we'll get reaction from the other side of the gresham oil from representative debbie wasserman schultz of florida she's chairwoman of the democratic national committee but joining me now from denver representative paul ryan great thanks for having me larry good to be with you again renewing the american idea where did it go well i think a lot of people are slipping through the cracks in this economy in this country and i don't think the country's on the right track i believe a lot of people agree with me but it's not enough as an elected official simply to

criticize point fingers i feel we all americans a different way forward another idea another plan and that's what i think i have a responsibility of doing that's what i'm doing here how do we take the countries the country's founding principles apply them to the problems of the day to show the country better solutions to have a healthy economy that creates more opportunity and better jobs keeps america's standing in the world so we stay safe and give hard working taxpayers the kind of government that they deserve but are not getting i think there is a better way to go we can do so much more as a country that's why i decided to write this book to get it done does it have to be a cooperation between these negative in the congress i think it does but you also have to win an argument and the argument is which way should we go. point a great contrast to the different kinds of governing philosophies that are being deployed i would argue that the president is you know a very left of center president i talk about liberal progressivism how his governing philosophy.
