8:02 am
also expressed concern about the rejection of an offer of a humanitarian corridor for ukrainian soldiers essentially anti-government forces have encircled soldiers in and around the town of for a week now in the east of ukraine and the government forces had said that they would allow the ukrainian soldiers to leave peacefully as long as they surrendered their heavy weapons but that offer has been rejected. for a month according to the latest information ukraine's army leaders have taken the decision not to let people out of the school internal forces are trying to broaden the humanitarian corridor for them to leave the area without a fight i think is a colossal mistake could lead to many human lives being lost well mr putin said he would also like the west to put pressure on kiev to encourage it to enter into meaningful dialogue with the rest of eastern regions he said that the east of
8:03 am
ukraine at the moment in the shelling that's going on there is reminiscent of world war two and in fact said that the anti-government forces have dubbed their latest counter offensive as a humanitarian mission simply because they wanted to push government forces away from densely populated a. farmer there in moscow has been following talks with the president and the youth at the youth forum thank you. leaders a monthly report from the u.n. humanitarian observers claims at least thirty six people are being killed every day in the ongoing conflict in is you claim meanwhile in the eastern stronghold of the near school the latest army shooting has left at least three people dead the policy of all this report from the site of the attack. what was a small mosque. because you can see the rocket has hit the whole the whole facade of the bolding people that were killed. at the local bus station you see god
8:04 am
awful for the whole of the people for their looks a little closer look well if. you look here. sir you can't get a look at it where one person lost their life hey it's being covered with a shooting. and i think that i'm going to those in the distance what happened to you know i don't want to give a damn the spirit that this was reported quarterly this is to be understood by the dark. there's a woman lying on the ground here she's been killed she was the work her ankle sprains stole she was hit by the impact of the rockets and the last. possibilities being blown away and we're waiting now for the ambulance to come and take you to the world. of these workers know what to do when you're 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 remains this is
8:05 am
a bomb shelter every square which is covered by a door knob nobody is inside of the moment but immediately off to the rockets way and people can come can push them through their girders nurtured this year to the earth as large as they were didn't. remember where. it is now the sound of incoming artillery so we're going to get out of here what some people are telling us is that there is an army barracks in the vicinity and they think that the ukrainian army was aiming for that rather than these residential buildings on t. downtown donetsk. russia is to blame for the rising violence in eastern ukraine that's the view of the u.s. president barack obama. there was never any doubt that russia is responsible for the violence in eastern ukraine the accusations came out on the heels of an emergency session of the un security council where the u.s. ambassador to the had a council members and angry response from russia's line of oil one of the
8:06 am
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. you may use no one is hiding the fact that they are russian volunteers it's going to rain we would like to see similar transparency shown by other countries maybe our american colleagues can tell us what doesn't the very guys there's a doing is building the ukraine security council or how many so-called mercenaries from their so-called military enterprises that were thousands of kilometers away from their lay on the word of the ukrainian security forces get the cutting edge of american weapons. not funny anymore that's what the defense ministry in moscow has
8:07 am
said often made to release satellite images claiming to show proof of russian troops inside ukraine the ministry said the pictures will only taint the alliance's international reputation and added that commenting on them seriously is just pointless these are the images that nato has presented they said to show russian self-propelled tillery units moving in a convoy through ukrainian territory on the images and educational activities in russia's adjacent to the queen and border something made to assess as part of moscow's destabilizing strategy daniel mcadams executive director at the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity said his faults 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 illusion air flight the existence of guns by the rebels in ukraine and so i think it has very dubious credibility as
8:08 am
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 it's inside its border you know there were businesses so that if we had unrest on the border with mexico here in the u.s. to be sure we'd have a military presence there to make sure our borders are secure. here of crying foul over an alleged invasion by russia has sparked a storm of similar accusations in the media and such a campaign has been cutting through the spin. 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
8:09 am
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 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 sea which is now monitoring the
8:10 am
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've 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 r.t. . the foreign press. association in london has become the latest organization to call for the release of a russian journalist who's been missing ukraine for more than three weeks now it is said i understand and must be released if he is being held by security forces stressing that all media should be allowed to cover the ukrainian consulate freely

doing enough to ease tensions in ukraine washington is threatening russia with a new wave of sanctions the sentiment was echoed by german chancellor angela merkel who said they use also considering stepping up its economic restrictions however the german opposition is not supporting the move. especially 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 economies my experience that many people are exactly the same actions 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
8:23 am
will be even more obvious now. from the beginning it was the wrong approach because sanctions escalated the situation and did not ease the tensions it was clear when the you impose 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. there were no automobile manufacturers remain optimistic in this fight the threat of more sanctions they flocked to moscow's glittering twenty fourteen call shave european and chinese produces a rolled out some of the latest models and say puzzled the market in russia a booming it is katie fill them up behind the wheel. with all the classic cars and all of us women you would be forgiven for thinking that the constant threat of global sanctions against also wasn't really a feature hey all the fun but the car industry is taking a little bit of a slump at the moment it's a bit of
