you get up look at the top of one of the. other looks a little closer look for a little. look here. you see the people going to look for the. place being covered with his sheeting. and i think that i'm going through in the distance what happened that you know i. don't dispute that this report of course this is to be understood. says a woman lying on the ground here she's being killed she was the. small schools she was hit by the impact of the rockets and the last. call for bodies being blown away and we're waiting now for an ambulance to come and take you to the mall. or if you look you know. 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 mains this
2:04 pm
is a bomb shelter everything here which is top of by a door knob nobody is inside of the moment immediately off to the rockets and people can. there's no to this worth of earth as latouche didn't sort of source them a little. bit 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 are three downtown dennett's. meanwhile the latest monthly report by un humanitarian monitors also says the number of casualties in east ukraine has more than doubled in the past month the document alleges human rights offenses by the anti government militias and also suggested there have been multiple reports of abuse coming from ukraine's armed forces human rights watchdog says the special and territorial battalions also known as the national guard operating under command have allegedly been abducting and torturing people the body

2:06 pm
you will be in your party in the conflict on the very beginning the night. did in kiev against the russian language and in the days when they have sent milliken mercenaries into the east part of the ukraine it was clear that we are not in a valuable and situation when it comes to the ukraine and there are far people. so i'm happy he does apologise and the ball does it if you would of nato because we don't think that nato into your pin your indian. thing in favor of peace and stability on the continent and this is incontrovertibly it was the opinion of the german population. the foreign press association in london has become the latest organization to call for the release of the russian journalist who's been missing in ukraine now for more than three weeks and said that and they stand it must be
2:07 pm
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 photo correspondent stan it disappeared in eastern ukraine on august the fifth as he was following the violence that he had maintained he has no knowledge of his whereabouts. elsewhere poland has allowed the plane of the russian defense minister sergei sure to pass through its airspace after the plane was briefly denied passage our correspondent andrew farmer takes up the story well i'm pleased to say that this huge diplomatic spat appears to have died down and the whole episode has been put down to a simple misunderstanding mr schorr whose plane was forced to turn around after being denied access to polish airspace and was on his way back to moscow from bratislava where he had attended the anniversary of the slovakian national uprising but shortly after takeoff the pilot was told he had actually been barred from
2:08 pm
polish air space but no further explanation was given and the plane was for four forced to return to bratislava where remained on the tarmac for a number of hours no clear explanation was given by the polish authorities even the interior minister survey accurate turned up at the airport to try and smooth things out but we now know why post authorities say it was a simple mistake they thought mr short game would be returning to moscow on a civilian plane in fact he was on a military plane which meant they could not the reason why it was barred from its airspace but the right paperwork has now been done the plane has been cleared see go back along the route from which it came this morning we should say and it means that mr schorr you and his delicate should be back in moscow for the weekend britain has raised its terror threat level to severe in response to the conflicts in iraq and syria prime minister david cameron has been outlining new measures to stem the tide of people wanting to head abroad and join the conflicts there. are
2:09 pm
reports from london. the decision to raise the threat level to the second highest position was made by the joint terrorism analysis center due to developments in syria and iraq where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the west what we're facing in iraq now. is a creature deeper threat to our security than we have known before foreign fighters who travel from britain to syria and iraq taking part in terrorist acts and they come back to threaten our security here. and the scale of this threat is growing we need to do more to stop people traveling to stop those who do go from returning and to deal decisively with those who are already here this fear that around the five hundred persons jihad this have gone on to fight abroad where there are now half of them suspected to be in the u.k. planning attacks on home soil in fact at least one plot is known to have been a forward having said that the home secretary said there is no intelligence to
2:10 pm
suggest that there is an eminence attack but david cameron said that the government is already planning new legislation to make sure that brits are not going abroad to fight alongside extremists and he'll be making those plans public on monday. the early we talked to the head of the islamic human rights commission a jar and he thinks that western policies in the middle east a largely responsible for what is now happening in the u.k. . this is an admission that the policies of the west in iraq and in syria has created great in the stability not just the scene iraq and syria but now in the west you know the reality is that these extremists have been funded they've been given equipments and there are driving around with four wheel drives that united states has delivered and they're creating havoc everywhere and then the blame is being put on the lost son muslim community in britain and the reality is
2:11 pm
that muslim community and the mosque in britain did not create a foreign policy which he to envision of iraq and and what is happening in syria it was the british government and the american government involved in those policies and arms that has been pouring into syria which has trickled down to this so called the strongest state it is been done true the policies of britain the united states. ok let's get more analysis on this story now from political commentator john white joins us john britton house today raised its terror alert level if you put it in those words it kind of sounds quite alarming but in reality just how serious would you say the situation is. well i would see desperately serious but the first thing we need to acknowledge is the nose eating hypocrisy of
2:12 pm
our government which for the last three years has described these people who have been cut off people's heads and command all manner of atrocities in syria and libya is freedom for the us not too long ago the b.b.c. was interviewing some of these individuals and their families and they were claiming an association with the young man who went from this country to franco in fascism in spain a jew in the spanish civil war the nine hundred fifty s. you really couldn't make it up but there is a c.d.s. there however this announcement on its own i feel will be as much use as a hand the coin a canoe to be part of an overarching policy which involves the cooperation of other governments that would include russia and china and india. and it would also. placing pressure on turkey to stop the free flow of these jihad is of course of board those every devolved policing pressure on so that even to the other gulf states to stop with the nation's oil for an end to these militants but i fear unfortunately that such wisdom as a foreign country to
2:13 pm
a government which is blundered from one disaster to another over the last ten years a government whose mendacity is only exceeded by its stupidity now one of the ways in which the government is looking to address the situation in its proposed new legislation that would make it easy to take the passports away from people who had out of these conflicts do you think that will actually help. it will help to some extent but people who are soon to be key to get involved in the cane of barbarism. taking place in syria and iraq i don't think will be detailed too much they will find a way where that where that is a world that is a we but we have to take this issue it at its roots mocha makes agree american freedom and faith are for justice one says that you can't understand what's going on in mississippi mississippi if you don't understand what's going on in the congo and this logic applies over four decades later britain which means to see that you
2:14 pm
can't understand what's going on in the streets of london or liverpool or any time in the city u.t. unless you understand what's going on in syria and iraq and ukraine for that matter another way of putting the foreign policy of war of occupation of the violation of sovereignty of the soviet thing of governments over propping up a viable regime such as the saudi regime was at the same tang lecturing the rest the world on democracy and human rights of the hypocrisy involved in a policy where we are by the british government has extended itself in providing political were diplomatic cover to be a path to a government of israel such a foreign policy rests on a foundation of social and economic justice at home and in britain to the social economic justice level which i won ten you'd only expect to see in the pages of science fiction novels so the alienation is caused by this this poverty this inequality is feeding this anger among young muslim men unfortunately some of the
2:15 pm
anger amongst a very small minority has to be said is being channeled towards this radical and vile at the old g.t.c. as a cord injury gives them some meaning and purpose in their lives. so we have to take this at its roots that's not to justify it but we have to understand that if we're going to arrive a solution is going to walk. and just quickly john i mean i have raised the level of concern now are you surprised that the authorities didn't actually write more strongly when lee rigby was killed right in central london. well yes i mean i think the try to buddy that quickly i think it took everybody by surprise i think the try to ascribe that to a couple of one coeds and they didn't draw the connection with the i ideology that which fueled it i mean this ideology is nothing new as i see have been has been stalking syria it's been stalking libya it's known as no stalking iraq the only difference now is that it involves be competition of us journalists which is
2:16 pm
a very very barbaric city in blood and iraqi blood is no less valuable to move freight thinking people than the blood of an american or a british citizen and british nationals have been involved in this violence in syria this time last year we were talking abou bombing syria which we don't have either of these militants in their objectives the idea that there's ever been such a thing as a more that opposition in syria is a complete myth and the city in context the words more than the opposition is a complete oxymoron and it's no time that we strike to quote pretty and try to bolster one of the only governments in the region and its army and its people whose resisted this ideology over the last three years rather than trying to undermine it . or listening to the thoughts of political commentator john white job thank you. now another reason for the british prime minister to be worried is the upcoming nato summit it could be a target for jihadists the u.k.
2:17 pm
is going to great lengths to keep the heads of state safe including building a vast wall around the more announced later this hour. but first thousands of people from iraq's years the minority who were lucky to escape islamic state militants are reportedly still trapped on mount sun jar near the syrian border that's despite assurances from washington the humanitarian crisis in the area has been resolved after its warplanes bombed the jihadists because it is a been ruthlessly targeted by radicals and massacred. abraham is easy the immigrant in the netherlands who's lost the social media campaign called stop yazidi genocide and she told r.t. that her people are still fleeing the radicals in large numbers and need urgent help everyone things that the people of vermont enjoy are saved but that's not all that's happening now there's no food no water forty years eighty people it's already too late because obama said he would help the people and afterwards obama
2:18 pm
was a bomb being near me and enjoy it and really are two different places far far from each other and so what do you see the people there must be help right now people are still fleeing we can call this a genocide because people are being killed in sin jar there are already big muslims there are kurdish muslims and at this moment none of these people are being killed only disease e.-d. people just because they do not want to convert to islam stay with us here on r.t. after a short break we'll hear how adidas has the potential to track every move of loyal soccer fans all the details on the way.
2:19 pm
differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months. former. president we choose peace time for him to go. to go. to syria you really saw the stuff. on there and in the financial world. talk too serious to goldman's cannot stop because it only takes the demand to credit not good good. and life there are good and there are books.
2:20 pm
welcome back almost three meters high and sixteen kilometers long i'm not talking about a high security prison but in fact fencing has been erected ahead of nato summit next week in the welsh capital cardiff now the so-called ring of steel is meant to protect one hundred fifty willed leaders along with thousands of staff and journalists during the two day event and that's as fears grow that islamic state terrorists could be planning attacks to disrupt the summit police forces from across the u.k. have been called in to maintain security the total cost of those security measures isn't yet known but some critics claim that downing street could be about to foot the bill of up to fifty million pounds. and residents aren't seen happy either
2:21 pm
about the security measures some locals took to twitter to express their anger comparing the city to a mass prison trade has reportedly formed by a third since the fence was put up cardiff businessman david a missouri told us about his struggles. and it's very difficult it's a difficult time for a lot of the local businesses and also for people working cardiff it's right in the city center around cardiff castle and it runs right the way around a very large area it's the middle of a commuter route and it disrupts the major roadways through into the city no one's really sure what will happen in cardiff in the city center i know a lot of businesses will be trying to stay away from from the area. and it's not just the governments who are tracking your every move it seems a sportswear giants also have the potential to keep tabs on consumers for example this bestselling added a jersey of the german national football team two million have been sold already of
2:22 pm
course thanks to decide success at the world cup some fans are getting more than they actually bargained for let's just take a closer look at the on wanted bug that customers are unknowingly taking around with them but here it is this device is a radio frequency identification chip and it's used to transfer data automatically through electromagnetic fields they're usually used for logistics but consumer products are also now being equipped with them the chips are barely noticeable and i did ask denies that they can actually track individuals but consumer privacy expert liz mcintyre says that the potential uses a 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
2:23 pm
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. for you some of the will headlines now starting with syria where the number of refugees is now topped three million that's according to the united nations refugee agency another six and a whole million would displaced within the country's borders walden one hundred ninety thousand have been killed in syria since the beginning of the civil war in march twentieth of a. that's where the pakistani army has stepped in to mediate in
2:24 pm
a crisis between the government and the opposition it comes after two weeks of sit in demonstrations aimed at forcing the resignation of the prime minister now as shareef the opposition claims that he rigged his last year's general elections they also want him to be charged over the deaths of demonstrators in june the army chief has promised to find a resolution within twenty four hours. and a kilometer long fish eruption has started in a larger field near a volcano in iceland or the situation isn't as serious as was initially feared is therefore let off or it is to lower the aviation alert level from red to orange does have been on the rise that the volcano could erupt after a number of recent troubles. european and chinese car manufacturers have flocked to moscow's glittering twenty fourteen car show rolling out some of their latest models they say that parts of the market in russia a booming sanctions or not artie's katie pilbeam got behind the wheel. with all the
2:25 pm
classic cars and gorgeous women you would be forgiven for thinking that the constant threat of global sanctions against also wasn't really a feature hey all the fuck 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 into and that's the case in about five years time that to overtake the jumbo mind that has the biggest in the u.s. if we do take sanctions that in mind this made the german industry profit by about twenty five bucks i spoke to the company and they don't seem cheap and i'm a firm a robot mystic about basis. to remain absolutely did he keep to your strategy of growth in russia we believe that differently and the 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
2:26 pm
the top automotive markets in the world now there is talk about sites being imposed upon the colony just three if it plays now this one but foreign policy companies that produce that big pay we've got some eighty percent of them some talk about so yourself for this town but it would affect the impulse thing of some kind it's not something that the modified to split up the sickly enthused about there will be some policy or they all do industrial from ross a garment they already start for a bit to eat or something or a brass from europe to russia and. there will be something up to here in the market i think the seeds have to space and weak a lot on your part obs that's what that sick unless it is still growing and that's the luxury while the russians they love it. should still have a bit of looks or it for sure they do. we're very happy here with over
2:27 pm
a healthy market share so we took a. you have over thirty percent to about a tree brought you to the automobile sector they were the very best whatever but this is the most national guardsman bill is still set to be our record with more voice calls on the side than ever before. global warming is on one billion visitors expected still wealthy enough to drive the markets. to stay with us on the way as we look into the world of gadgets and gizmos in technology update. no a famous politician is tweeting that a foreign 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
2:28 pm
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 what happened because unlike what they tell you in school might does it make right for young uns out there 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 mano 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
