reason why you should care about humans and. this is why you should watch only. the russian president warns that kiev is making a grave mistake that's after ukraine reportedly rejects an offer to evacuate its fighters surrounded the town of that he will be asked by anti-government militia and. the u.n. says at least thirty six people i killed on average an easy plain every day are to report from the scene of the latest devastating attack in the resistance stronghold of the nia. and to libya's interim government is dissolved islamised militias take a large parts of the country which i can look at allegations external forces are fighting a proxy war. from

wherever you're watching around the world welcome to moscow and you're on our team to that no with me to say russia's president says the army commanders in ukraine are willing to lead to their troops find their way out of it and circle meant instead of accepting an offer to hand over their weapons and leave through a humanitarian corridor let him eat putin was speaking at a youth forum in central russia are designed to follow was listening in and he joins us live from moscow and what else did the president speak about. well he did answer many questions at this lengthy human a session at the russian youth forum or many of the questions have a role revolved around international politics and he was asked about russia's nuclear capability to which he said russia would increase and continue to increase

its nuclear deterrent but it would never seek international conflict and would not be the aggressor although it certainly would defend itself if necessary. russia is far from getting involved in any large scale military conflict we don't want that and aren't going to do it which you obviously have to always be ready to revolve any aggression towards russia and our partners whichever state their countries are and whatever foreign policy course they're taking usually have to understand they better not mess with us but thank god i don't think anyone today would think of starting a large scale conflict with russia. but he also used this opportunity to talk about ukrainian crisis and describe the situation there is a common tragedy for both countries and everything should be done to stop it he also expressed concern that the offer of a humanitarian corridor for ukrainian forces had been rejected many soldiers are

currently encircled in and around the town of ill advice in the east of ukraine and government forces have apparently said that they could leave tastefully as long as they do surrender their heavy weapons although that has been rejected as an offer by the ukrainian forces. for much according to the latest information ukraine's army leaders have taken a decision not to let people out of this boiling carol but into government 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 he also said that he would hope that the west would put pressure on kiev to enter into some sort of meaningful dialogue with the rest of regions of the eastern he said that the situation in the shelling that has taken place is reminiscent of world war two and went on to say that the anti-government forces have described their current counter offensive as a humanitarian mission simply because they want to push the government forces away

from densely populated areas. and reform in moscow following president putin's visit at a youth forum in central russia. the latest monthly report from a un humanitarian observation claim at least thirty six people being killed every day and they are going conflict in east ukraine meanwhile in the eastern stronghold of the net the latest on the shelling has left at least three people dead the pilots leah filed 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 building people that were killed while waiting at the local bus station you see got up looked at a little boy in the water looked a little closer look well if. you look here. you see the you can't get a look at it you know one person off my face being covered with his sheeting. and

i think that i'm going through those in the distance so what happened to you know it was. dumb to screw up but this was reported quoi this is to be understood. says a woman lying on the ground here she was being killed she was the. stole she was hit by the impact of the rockets and the loss. of bodies being blown away and we're waiting now for an ambulance to come and take her to the mall. or if you look you know what you do when you're one of this is 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 a bomb shelter over here which is top of by a door knob nobody is inside of the moment effect immediately off to the rockets way and people can come on the people that are girders merger be serious the earth as large as. 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 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. russia is to blame for the rising violence in eastern ukraine that's the view of the u.s. president barack obama. we agree if there was ever any doubt that russia is responsible for the violence in eastern ukraine the accusations came on the heels of an emergency session of the un security council where the us ambassador has vented her case to the council members sparking an angry response from russia's envoy 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 to grow in the years no one is hiding the fact that they are russian volunteers if you train we would like to see similar transparency shown by other countries maybe our american colleagues can tell us what dozens of very guys are doing in the building of ukraine security council or how many so-called mercenaries from their so-called military enterprises and. thousands of kilometers away from their land where did the ukrainian security forces get the code a huge american weapons not funny anymore that's what the defense ministry in moscow has said after nato released satellite images claiming to show proof russian troops are inside ukraine the ministry said the pictures were only taint the alliance's international reputation it added that commenting on them seriously is

just pointless these are the images that may to have presented the assad to russian self-propelled tillery units moving in a convoy through ukraine other images allegedly show activity in russians adjacent to the ukrainian border something nato says as part of a moscow's the stabilising strategy that melnyk adams executive director at the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity said his thoughts. well 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 it's inside its border you know there what business is it 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 are secure. d.b. is crying foul over an alleged invasion by russia has sparked a storm of similar accusations in the media dances again past and 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 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 key 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 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 western members pushed 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 in ukraine for more than three weeks now it said understanding must be released if he's being held by security forces stressing that all media should be allowed to cover the ukrainian conflict freely and without harassment for the correspondent stan then disappeared in eastern ukraine on august the fifth as he was following the violence they have maintained that has no knowledge of his whereabouts.

herder the threat of sanctions are once again in the air as the white house promises new economic restrictions against russia but come any factories are getting about possible embargoes for now as they showcase their latest models of the moscow. libya's interim government has resigned after islamists tied to their grip on the country pushing it towards its worth crisis since the overthrow of the gadhafi regime in twenty eleven this comes days after militants declared a breakaway regime to rival the elected parliament libya is split between two rival camps one is run by islamists backed by rebel factions now in control of the capital tripoli the other is libya's nationalist government that has fled to the country's east away from the armed gangs so one side is alleged the islamist

militias are receiving support from turkey and qatar and on the other the official regime is apparently backed by egypt and the arab emirates who birth reportedly carried out is strikes against militia positions last week political writer and journalist dan glazebrook told us the conflict in the country of turned into a proxy war. libya's been turned from being before twenty eleven a linchpin of reason or 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 start forces allied to tell if they have to if they are in 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 reemergence of libya as an independent regional power this is how the policy in libya has unfolded the c.m. in mame khalifa haftar u.s. citizen and rogue general in the gadhafi era launched a counter active offensive against this lebanese and then in june there was an election that straight after a number of officials defected to the slums and formed a parallel government last month an islamic emirate was declared in benghazi well tripoli airport was seized on the extreme is finally took control of the airport this month or the central government asked for foreign help and at the u.n. security council france said libya will slide into further chaos without international support. i'll be back with more news after this short break do you stay with us.

different leader in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months. that we choose to call it well you can. still be against syria is going to be. facing the abyss ukraine is running out of options as winter approaches with a crashing economy the regime in kiev it may be looking to end the civil war but that trade may have already left the station.

to international up to insisting moscow is not doing enough to ease tensions in ukraine washington is threatening russia with a new wave of sanctions the sentimental was echoed by german chancellor angela merkel who said the e.u. is also considering stepping up its economic restrictions however the german opposition is not supporting the move. especially as it does us different sanctions and a trade war i know means improving the situation on the country we have a spear all of us glacial that hurts the german and european economy it's my

experience that many people rejected the sanctions right from the start they have their rightful feeling that this is not the way to achieve anything. and vice versa 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 un post 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. german automobile manufacturers remain optimistic and despite the threat of more sanctions they flock to moscow's glittering twenty four team car share european and chinese produces

a rolled out some of their latest models and say parts of the market in russia are the main accused katie fill them up behind the wheel. with all the classic cars and gorgeous women and you would be forgiven for thinking that the constant threat of global sanctions against it also wasn't really a feature hey 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 a bus the bus market is still one that everyone here wants to tap in syria not the case in about five years time and that if it's a big jumbo one that has the biggest in the us if we do take sanctions that in mind this may not be german industry profit by about twenty five bucks i spoke to the company and they don't seem to think i'm a from a bravo optimistic about basis. to remain absolutely dedicated to your strategy of growth in russia we believe that differently and the growth is still going to

continue for 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 talk about sites being imposed upon the call industry specific play now this one but foreign call companies that produced that hey we've got some eighty percent of them so talk about so yourself told this 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 there from across the garden or if you start for a bit to eat or something european brands from europe to russia and. there will be something that's here in the market i think the seeds have to be. space and we get along so are you perhaps that's one particular aspect that is still growing i'm not the luxury while the russians i love. russians have

a bit of luxury for sure they do. we're very happy here with a very healthy market share so we typically have over thirty percent to live on the tree but you did you want to be respected they were the very best whatever but this is the best most days. i know you still said to be a week old with more boy clothes on side than ever before. lobo rabbit and one million visitors expected still well it's enough to drive the market. it's not just the governments who are tracking your every move it seems a sports way giants also have the potential to keep tabs on consumers for example the best selling additives jersey of the german national football team two million have been sold already thanks to the size success at the world cup but some fans are getting more than they bargained for let's take a closer look at the other one to drug customers knowingly taking with them

now this device is a radio frequency identification chip which is used to transfer data automatically through electromagnetic fields they're usually useful logistics but consumer products are all full cooked with them all the chips are barely noticeable and additives denies they can track individuals but consume upriver c.x. wordless macintyre says the pun tensional uses are 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. things they wearing carry these consumers can be tracked in 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 abuse that information about us and so it's a very invasive technology and let me say this is just. the beginning. someone is from around the globe now starting with syria where the number of refugees has now topped three million that's according to the nations refugee agency another six and a half million with displaced within the country's borders well then one hundred ninety thousand people have been killed in syria since the beginning of the civil war in march of twenty eleven. the pakistani army has stepped in to mediate in the crisis between the government and the opposition it comes after two

weeks of sit in demonstrations aiming of course in the resignation of the prime minister nawaz sharif the opposition claims he did last year general elections also want him to be charged for the deaths of fourteen demonstrators in june the army chief has promised to find a resolution within twenty four hours. a kilometer long official eruption has started in a lava field near of all kaino in iceland although the situation is not as serious as initially feared it's therefore led authorities to lower the aviation alert level from red to orange fears had been on the rise that the volcano may erupt after a number of recent tremors. 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 for the money to get to ukraine was told to raise tariffs for gas electricity and other

utilities while at the same time freezing pensions and wages and raising taxes and there are now additional conditions they include slashing tax benefits for agriculture and allowing banks to reprocess property but comply whether the demand is hard for the country that's already been in what can be described as and make we are. for the country's g.d.p. shrunk 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 there were several hundred profits millions in profit ukraine's national currency is also losing value the authorities are said the economy would be unsustainable if the currency falls to more than twelve to the dollar well is now thirteen and a half wall street analyst michael hudson believes ukraine is peering straight into

the financial abbie's. ukraine is not meeting the i missed condition or is the i.m.f. meeting its own condition under the i have missed articles of agreement it's not a loan just lend money to a country that is unable to pay the repayment of these demands is going to force the ukrainian currency wedo 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 the ukrainians 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 so the i.m.f. loan because it's a disaster. if there leavelle and his guess this goth how far off the end of the civil war could be in ukraine this is not international. no 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're going to get a nato lesson in human rights well the answer is simple this tweet and any attempts to intervene from do a member of a push go won't happen because unlike what they tell you in school might doesn't make right for you young and south their old grandpa 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 .

we. aree. sleazy.
