i don't want you to see. ukrainian militias respond to the president's request. leaving at least three people dead. libya. as. the country. we take a close look at. noon

here in the russian capital it's international with me. thanks for joining us today the ukrainian troops. in the east of the country have received support from the russian president vladimir putin has called on them to release the soldiers to avoid casualties. remains in eastern ukraine. well the russian president vladimir putin has called on the anti-government fighters to late ukrainian soldiers out of the encirclement he is calling on them to allow those soldiers that are inside the combat zone to leave freely the russian president pointing out that they are not there because of their own will but they simply acting on orders the prime minister of the danites republic has responded by saying they will do this on one condition. we are ready to provide humanitarian corridor for ukrainian

soldiers on the condition that they hand over heavy weaponry and ammunition so that in the future these weapons can be used against us. now there have been wide scale protests inside the ukrainian capital where thousands of people who are demanding that their government no longer betray them they accuse the government of the military down at the same time they calling for the resignation of the ukrainian defense minister this follows comments by the country's president petro poroshenko he directly accused russia of invading his country but later he suggested that there be some kind of cooperation between the two countries in terms of joint missions where ukrainian and russian soldiers would patrol the ukrainian russian border together so we are getting these kind of mixed messages out of kiev on thursday was heavy shelling here in downtown donates the local authorities say that three civilians were killed just moments after their shells hit we went to the same

to of the city. we here and to what was a small market right in the city santa of the night schools you can see the rocket has hit the whole flight the whole facade of the bolding people that were killed while waking up the local bus station you see got up looked at or thought of all of you before that really looked like a little tougher to look loyal leadership here for a little bit a little credit here one person last night hey i think what his shooting taking us into and then throws in the distance what happened that used to do you know it was the duty of a dormir the spirit that it was reported quarterly if you will throughout this is that you understood that the doctor says a woman lying on the ground here she's been killed she was the work her ankle space small 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 an ambulance to come and take her to the movies. it's not there's no look if woman is one of the support this is one of the residential buildings that has been hit people are coming back now to clean up their apartments and to see what one means this is a bomb shelter everything here which is time to buy a door knob nobody is inside at the moment but immediately off to the rockets way and people came time to put some sort of the bird was nurtured to see if the earth is nurtured or didn't serve source the material or. it is now the sound of incoming artillery so we can get out of here what some people are telling us is that there's an army barracks in the vicinity and they think that the ukrainian army was aiming for that rather than these residential buildings point to see on t.v. downtown dates. president obama has blamed russia again for the rising violence in eastern ukraine we agree if there was ever any doubt that russia is responsible

for the violence in eastern ukraine the accusation is coming out shortly after the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting on ukraine the u.s. ambassador presented how case to the council members sparking an angry response from russia's a new boy mr jeffrey felt one of the separatist leaders that russia has armed and backed said openly the three or four thousand russian soldiers have joined their cause he was quick to clarify that these soldiers were on vacation. but a russian soldier who chooses to fight in ukraine on his summer break is still a russian soldier yet still according to the russian government the soldiers were never there. in the years no one is hiding the fact that they are russian volunteers if you don't rein we would like to see similar transparency shown by other countries maybe our american colleagues can tell us what dozens of very advisors are doing in the ukraine security council or how many so-called

mercenaries from their so-called military enterprises and thousands of kilometers away from their laying on the city where did the ukrainian security forces get the cutting edge american weapons and russia's defense ministry says by releasing satellite pictures apparently showing russian troops inside ukraine nato would only taint its international reputation the ministry says commenting on the pictures is absolutely pointless let's show you some of the images that nato has presented as absolute proof. the pictures apparently show russian self-propelled artillery units moving in a convoy through ukraine's territory other images allegedly show activity in russia adjacent to the ukrainian border something nato says as part of moscow's destabilizing strategy daniel mcadams the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity 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 guns by the rebels in ukraine and so i think it has very dubious credibility as 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 because it's inside its border you know there what business is that of 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 that russia had invaded his country so many media outlets take up a story and run wild with it it's a guy in nature. panic

alert in western media after key if tweeted 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 in social media with nothing to suggest that they were operated by russian soldiers kill you put out this video claiming it's a russian tank. 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 it accused 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 u.n. call on kiev to stop bombing its own people in washington i'm going to check out

our team. and 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 three weeks now it is. then must be released if he is being held by ukrainian security forces the group also said old media should be allowed to cover the ukrainian conflict freely and without harassment of the photo journalist stand then disappeared in eastern ukraine on august the fifth an online users around the world launched a campaign carrying the hash tag free entry. thanks for joining us for the program here the international monetary fund says ukraine is so far on track to receive further financial aid later today the i.m.f. will discuss the next one point four billion dollar handout for the lender has expressed doubt the money will be enough to cover the government's needs the country's economy shrunk by almost five percent in the second quarter of this year

with major firms losing ten billion dollars or just 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 good evening it's losing value as well authorities are said the economy would be unsustainable if the currency falls to more than twelve to the dollar while it's at thirteen a half right now and here's what the i.m.f. initially said kiev had to do in order to get financial aid one the i.m.f. want to ukraine to raise tariffs for gas electricity and other utilities all of the same time freezing pensions and wages and raising taxes but now there are brand new conditions to look forward to those include slashing tax benefits for agriculture and allowing banks the freedom to reprocess all various properties and wall street analyst michael hudson believes ukraine is right now appearing straight into the financial abyss ukraine is not meeting the i missed condition or as the i.m.f. meeting its own condition under the articles of agreement it's not going to just

lend money to a country that is unable to reach payment of these demands is going to force the ukrainian currency where you know 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 that orders for gas and for other essential so the cost of living will go up unemployment will rise the ukrainians are going to be leaving to the west to the east because the economy will be killed by the conditions of this loan and this is what the i.m.f. economists inside internal. they've 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 was going to ukraine look at what happened after two thousand and twelve so the i.m.f. loan be greece it's a disaster are still to come here on r.t.

international libya descends into the worst oil since the war that ousted khadafi back in twenty eleven that as the interim government resigns under the pressure is limited to paulson's coming up an expert opinion on who's behind the rival power was tearing the country apart. and big toys for big boys we had to moscow's twenty fourteen car show to check out what's being rolled down by chinese and western companies sanctions on those sanctions. different leaders in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months as. former. president we choose it is telling you can. still be released to syria

is going to be some of the stuff. on there and in the financial world. to moments cannot stop it is the only take you know demand. and like there are. good. hello again it's the international 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 this comes days after militants declared a breakaway regime to rival the elected parliament now libya remain separate between two rival camps one controlled by islamists back to rebel factions the other by. a us citizen and a rogue general from the khadafi era so on one side it's alleged the islamist militias are receiving support from turkey and cut out on the other the regime is currently backed by egypt and the arab emirates who reportedly carried out air strikes against militia of positions last week a political writer dan glazebrook told us the conflict in the country is actually a proxy war. libya's been turned from being before twenty eleven a linchpin of regional stability to a safe haven actually for sectarian death squads and militias of all kinds from around the region britain and the us both a huge deal as to the regime and is the one who is arming the

militias that are causing such chaos in libya and then if there was to start being forces allied to. the arming both sides effectively one directly the other in which would so the seeds for permanent kind of civil war situation which by the way would probably suit the interests of the british and us ruling elites very well because their fundamental goal consistently over the past three years has been to try to prevent the re-emergence of libya as an independent regional power by let's show you how the power struggle in libya unfolded this year it was in may that the road general launched a counter offensive against the islamists to try and bring them back under control and then it was in june they staged an election straight after that a number of officials defected to the islamists and formed a parallel government and then it was just last month an islamic emirate was declared in benghazi the tripoli airport airport was sieged and when the extremists

finally took control of the airport this month the central government asked for foreign help and at the u.n. security council france said that libya will slide into further chaos without international support. always loads of stories for you online right now at. the risk of death there's no reason to miss out on some fun with guns in the. u.s. . just a day after a nine year old girl accidentally shot and killed her shooting instructor. came up with quote. children. shooting. those details on our website right now. you're getting a shock when he climbs out of the english channel border police waiting there with a fresh pair of shiny handcuffs thought he was an illegal immigrant. the results of a media investigation suggest over one hundred eighty police departments in the

u.s. have lost their weapons the findings come amid accusations that police forces have resorted to using military style equipment to crack down on the protests in the town of ferguson missouri let's take just a couple of states for example in georgia not only pistols of vanished but sixteen machine guns as well and then in the golden state of california well they're missing exactly the same type of heavy weaponry also shot guns and even though it's a miss military grade humvees they were reportedly stolen the pentagon says it spent over four billion dollars to equip eight thousand police departments over just the last decade but now there's concern there may be in the hands of criminals and being sold on the black market. well listen to some other headlines from around the world time we'll start with the demonstrators who were very upset over the dismissal of workers at a u.s. run it base in spain they've occupied city hall overnight and the sound of. the

protesters held up banners saying american layoffs bases one of the largest u.s. bases in spain it's used by both countries activists accused the company that manages it of taking advantage of economic difficulties and cutting labor costs and terminating contracts with little notice. over one hundred thirty activists have been arrested and several detained during a rally outside the white house they were demanding the u.s. president to implement immigration reforms by the end of the summer the crowd were angry at the continued deportation of undocumented undocumented immigrants the marchers part of a national day of action and with similar protests held in twenty other u.s. cities. and former general motors workers in colombia have sewn their mouths shut outside the american embassy to pressure the automaker to compensate them for work related injuries they say they're suffering from debilitating conditions caused by their jobs but the company is trying to avoid paying medical

benefits since twenty eleven protests have included a hunger strike work because even crucifying old dairy. well sports fans beware if you're wearing anything made by adidas activists say there's the potential for the company to track your every move for example let's show you this our replica kit for the german national football team which is one of the company's best sellers but fans probably don't know exactly what they're getting let's take a closer look at the on the wanted things that the unwanted things that customers actually have no idea are actually attached to the clothing that they are wearing so let's show you the device it's called a radio frequency identification chip it's originally used in forms of logistics but now these are being put inside consumer products as well the chips are barely noticeable and they deny they can track any individual but consumer privacy expert mcintyre's says the potential uses are actually very worrying. unfortunately

the consortium of major corporations around the world and even governments are very interested in tracking people and it's all about profit they figure if they can know everything about somebody where they go their habits who they know then they can make money off of that when these tags go home with consumers on the things they wearing carry these consumers can be tracked these these are if i do tags have unique identification numbers and the plan is for every item on the planet at one at some point to have one of these numbers in it and if you think about it well it's just a number there are lots of things that are just numbers for example social security numbers are just numbers bank account numbers are just numbers but we have the sense not to put them on our t. shirt and walk around with those because people could use that information about us and so it's a very invasive technology and let me say this is just. the beginning. thanks

for joining us today after insisting moscow was not doing enough to ease tensions in ukraine washington is preparing more economic sanctions against russia the sentiment also echoed by the german chancellor angela merkel who said the e.u. is also considering following suit however already there are many politicians and a growing number of them who consider this policy to be counterproductive and that number continues to be on the rise. especially this does was different sanctions and a trade war i know means improving the situation on the country we have a spirit of his creation that has the german and european economists 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. since the sanctions are always prove that the political means failed they are useless and they are harming the population sanctions always lead to losses on both sides you can already see the backlash from the sanctions but in the next couple of months it

will be even more obvious. from the beginning it was the wrong approach because sanctions escalated the situation and did not ease the tensions it was clear when the imposed sanctions that there would be a counter reaction and the stakes would be raised now because of that a lot of entrepreneurs as well as the general public in germany has been affected by that. well one place you'd be hard pushed to spot the ill effects of sanctions is moscow's glittering twenty four car sure a european one chinese manufacturer is rolling out some of the very latest models so you are also the parts of the auto market in russia are booming we dispatched critical of him she jumped behind the. classic cars and gorgeous women and you would be forgiven for thinking that the constant threat of global sanctions again also wasn't really a feature hate all the fat 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 that's the case in about five years time and that's a bit like the jumbo mine that has the biggest in the us if we do take sanctions in mind this made the german industry profit by about twenty five bucks i spoke to the company and they don't seem to think i'm a. mistake about basis. to remain absolutely dedicated to our strategy of growth in russia we believe that differently and that growth is still going to continue over the next few months in years to come and then when you look at it to over two million vehicles are being sold in russia right now which is still one of the top bootable markets in the world now there is still about like being imposed upon the calling industry if it plays now this one affects foreign call companies that produce that pay we've got some eighty percent of them some talk about so

yourself. miss out but what if that the impulse of compassion it's not something that the modified just a little bit sickly enthused about there will be some. more they all tell you go straight from rasa garments they already start for a bit to eat or something go to brands from europe to russia and. there will be something to you in the market i think we can. saved some at th space and a week a lot so are you bored it's this one particular effect but it's still brother and not the lox the rain while the bus and. russian stove of it it looks great for sure they do. we're very happy here with a healthy market share so we typically have over thirty percent of the tree bucket to be able to build sector they were the very best whatever but this is the best and most days it's not snow melt he still sets it be out with them or play both

inside and out of the ninth play both on one visit is expected still be enough to drive the markets. he's kind of hoping right that here in her next on the program though a very very short break that i'll step aside to air an aid she's bringing in boom boston targeting u.s. foreign and domestic policy thanks for watching. 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 old 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 .

told you my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. the new i will leave them to the state department to comment on your letter to say it's secure yet because it's all you're talking no. thank you no more weasel. when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for. freedom of speech. and the freedom to. i marinate this is a boom bust and these are the stories that we're tracking for you today. ron paul is on the program today now the former congressman and three time presidential

candidate sat down with watt to discuss u.s. foreign and domestic policy and you definitely don't want to miss what he had to say and had fun times are going up against a pretty powerful institution the u.s. government where the power now several big hedge funds are suing the government for taking too much of the profits from fannie and freddie the government dropped the ball somewhere are these billionaires being vultures turned into little bit about we'll look into it coming right up then in today's big deal edward harris and i are discussing a big big payday and switzerland you won't want to miss a moment at all starts right now.
