ukrainian militia was responding to the russian president's request that they. leave. the city of donetsk. leaving at least three people dead. in the area she witnessed the optima. gain strength all across the country. forces fighting a proxy.

headlines for the. the ukrainian troops and. government fighters 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 a pointless casualties the details now from. 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 off to their shells hit we went to the

same to of the city. we hear and see what was a small market right in the city santa updates because you can see the rocket has hit the whole slice of the whole facade of the bolding people that were killed while waking up at the local bus station here so you get up look at the top of all of you before the police work you a little closer to look but a lot of it is your shoes for the you can't get a little credit here one person i hate being covered but his shooting taking us into ambulances in the distance so what happened that you know i mean what did you stumble spit out but it was reported clearly if you look throughout that this is to be understood by the doctor says a woman lying on the ground here she's being killed she was the work her ankles 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 mall. that's not news 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 wind people came time to put some sort of the bird was nurtured to see if the earth a very traditional 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 points here on t.v. downtown donates. three thousand six hundred people have died in ukraine since the military operation but the latest figures from the u.n. and the u.s. president barack obama continues to blame russia 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 accusations came shortly after the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting on ukraine the u.s. ambassador presented her case with members of an angry response from russia's envoy flew to mr jeffrey from 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 no must do too great in the us no one is hiding the fact that they are russian volunteers is ukraine we would like to see similar transparency shouldered 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 lane but where did the ukrainian security forces get the cutting edge american weapons not funny anymore that was the response from the defense ministry in moscow after nato released satellite pictures that claims show russian troops inside ukraine and i show you the images that nato has presented as undeniable proof that the pictures apparently showing 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 wrong poll 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 release 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 claims by the ukrainian president that russia has invaded his country so many media outlets take up the story and run wild with that ati's guy nature cannot dissecting the coverage . 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. spy 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 last week ukraine called russia's delivery of humanitarian aid into eastern ukraine and in beijing 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 sea 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 but we have never heard the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. call on key to stop bombing its own people in washington i'm going to check out our team. of 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 it's said under a stand then must be released. if he is being held by security forces the group

also said all media should be allowed to cover the ukrainian conflict freely and without harassment the photo journalist and then disappeared in eastern ukraine on august fifth there's a global campaign calling for his release free entry. now 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 now in order to get the money ukraine it was told to raise tariffs for gas electricity and other utilities while at the same time freezing pensions and wages and raising taxes but now there are some additional conditions to look forward to include slashing tax benefits for agriculture and allowing banks to reprocess properties but complying with the demands is hard for the country that's already in what could be described as that of an economic freefall the country's g.d.p.

shrank almost five percent in the second quarter of this year with major firms losing ten billion dollars over the top of the year over the same time last year they were several hundred million in profit and ukraine's national currency the group of that's also losing value your authority said said the economy would be unsustainable if the currency falls to more than twelve to the dollar or less at thirteen and a half right now and wall street analyst michael hudson is believes the ukraine at this moment is preparing straight into the financial abyss ukraine that's not meeting the i missed condition or as the i.m.f. meeting its own condition under the articles of agreement it's not a loan just lend money to a country that is unable to pay their repayment of these demands is going to force the ukrainian currency where you know they're going to make imports much more expensive 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 filled by the conditions of this loan and this is what the i.m.f. economists inside internally have been complaining about these. wait a minute i have left long 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 to the i.m.f. loan big reached it's a disaster now still to come on the program on the international libya descends into the worst oil since the war that ousted khadafi back in twenty i left that i was the interim government resigns under pressure from is the essence of coming up here when i see international expert opinion on who's behind the rival forces that are tearing the country up. and big boys for big toys so we had to moscow's

dazzling twenty fourteen car sure to check what's been rolled out by the chinese on the western company's sanctions on those signs. differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties who have gone to syria in recent months have said they believe he's a reformer to be a mr president we choose deedes told him to get. stability and peace to syria is going to be the subject of.

drama is the truth be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. the faces changing the world. to pictures of today's. from around the globe. hello again thanks for joining us libya's interim government has resigned after is the mists tighten their grip on the country and 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 remains split between two rival camps one controlled by islamists back to rebel factions the other by. a

u.s. 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 qatar on the other side the current regime apparently was solid backing by egypt and the arab emirates who both reportedly carried out air strikes against militia 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 qatari regime and qatar is the one who is arming the militias that are causing such chaos in libya and then if there was to to start forces allied to. the arming both sides effectively one directly the other in directly 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. why this is how the power struggle in libya unfolded this year it was in may the rogue general launched a counter offensive against the islamists to well to try to bring them under control in june there was an election but straight after that a number of officials actually defected to the islamists and formed a parallel government and then it was just last month an islamic emirate was declared in benghazi and tripoli airport was seized when the extremists finally took control of the airport this month the central government asked for international help and the u.n. security council france has said that libya will slide into further chaos without international support. always loads of stories for you on line

a few clicks away at. the risk of death is no reason to miss out on some fun with guns at least that's what one powerful u.s. gun lobby things just one day after a nine year old girl accidentally shot and killed a shooting instructor at the lobby came up with quote seven ways children can have fun at the shooting range. stories that are. also their insurance getting a bit of a shock climbing out of the english channel the u.k. border police waiting with a fresh towel and a shiny pair of handcuffs they thought he was an illegal immigrant. or to some other news from around the world in brief time for the r.t. world update demonstrators upset over the dismissal of workers at a u.s. run air base in spain occupied city hall overnight in the town of. protesters held up banners saying american layoffs at bases one of the largest u.s. air force bases in spain it's being used by both countries activists accuse the

company that manages it of taking advantage of economic difficulties cutting labor costs and terminating contracts with little or no 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 implement immigration reforms by the end of the summer the crowd were angry at the continued deportations of undocumented immigrants the march was part of a national day of action with similar protests held in twenty other cities. and former general motors workers in colombia have sewn their mouths shut outside the american and embassy to pressure the automaker to compensate them for work related injuries they say they're suffering from debilitating conditions caused by their work that the company is trying to avoid paying medical benefits since twenty eleven protests of included a hunger strike workers crucifying bury themselves. now

sports fans beware if you're wearing anything made by a didas activists say there's the potential for the company to track your every move for example the replica kit like this 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 into let's have a closer look at the rather unwanted bug that customers are on knowingly taking with them in sight the clothing this device is called a radio frequency identification chip which is used to help with logistics but now these are being put into consumer products as well. barely noticeable and adidas denies they can track anyone but consumer privacy expert liz mcintyre is there is the potential uses of very wiring. 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. shirts and walk around with those because people could abuse that information about us and so it's a very invasive technology and let me say this is just. the beginning. it's already international after insisting moscow is not doing enough to ease tensions in ukraine washington is preparing more economic sanctions against russia the sentiment was echoed by the german chancellor angela merkel who said the e.u.

is also considering following suit however already there are many politicians who consider this policy counterproductive the number is growing. as. does was different sanctions and a trade war i know means improving the situation on the country we have a spear all of us collation that turns to 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. 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 and 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 spoil the effect of sanctions is moscow's glittering twenty fourteen car show european and chinese manufacturers are rolled out some of the latest models and so parts of the auto market in russia are a booming so we dispatched katie cope. with all 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 fact that the car industry is taking a little bit of a slump at the moment is a bit of a rocky ride bus the bus market is still one that everyone here wants to tap into and that's the case in about five years time and that if it's a big jumbo was the biggest in the us if we didn't take sanctions in mind this made the german industry hit by about twenty five bucks i spoke to the company and they

didn't seem to think i'm a from a problem optimistic about basis. to remain absolutely did he keep to your 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 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 bootable markets in the world now there is talk about sanctions being imposed upon the colony just three if it played now this winter but foreign policy companies that produce that big pay we've got some eighty percent of them some talk about so yeah it's up for this town but it would have that the impulse of compassion it's not something that the modified just come up with simply enthused about there will be some policy or they all tell you go straight from russia garments they already start for a bit to the team or something european brands from europe to russia and. there

will be some nets here in the market i think we can see some space and we can. so are you what i've said before that secular affects the field brother and not the lox the rain well the buses they love. the scope 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 to about a tree but kids to the automobile sector they want the very best so whatever but this is the best most not so. he still thinks it be a great cause with a more play both inside and out of the for nothing label and one visit is expected still be enough to drive the markets. and a host of venture capital right there on katie bill ok so the next edition of our technology update the most important advances in science and technology coming your

way in just a moment. 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 democratise 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 nato 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 .

hello and welcome to technology update coming up on today's show. a face lift. science flourishes into homes. and we have some phone around the office.

with a link to bill's creeping up and fossil fuel burning else people are increasingly looking to the sun for the. it's the world's energy problems while the solar revolution might still be a way off so let's take some bones and what better way to show off what you can do that in a race in the center of moscow. second wind. bush's first solar adjuster was held on the most cool ridge on a sunny day at the end of july in the competition nine seems from bush in unison one from monaco rode the waves and the solar powered boats in a race to the finish as well as demonstrating the capabilities of today's solar tech events aims most renewables comes on education and the business opportunities that come with them. monaco's team synergy was the winner of its class in the two thousand and fourteen solar one once a cargo cult with the sleep person hydrofoils did leave the favorites when the moscow regatta as well. as the race was organized by graduates from the skolkovo

moscow school of management under the supervision of youth guinea cousin of the slick soul of boats which was made in europe for bush's symmetry sailing team was on site after his victory in monaco but the potential of solar vessels has implications everywhere such was the thinking behind the solar one championship which brought together teams from china usa and brazil it's monaco's prestigious yacht club here in moscow the founders of the solar got so wanted to follow in their wake. we tried different competition formats and in the end came to the conclusion that this is indeed something that engineering students need it's good for us education and research it's very important for them to take part in projects like this because it helps to expand their practical knowledge which. i'm sure this was the last thing on everyone's mind when the green flag flew in a surprising turn of events synergy spoils when.
