may be planned on the coming nato summit as protesters flock to the cities to head . to the world this is our team international with you twenty four hours a day i mean and welcome we start with our breaking news story a group of russian soldiers detained in ukraine several days ago whomping return to russia moscow ses the ten party troopers were on patrol when they crossed the pearly mercs section of the border by accident before being captured paula sneer has the details only ten russian paratroopers who were detained by the ukrainian authorities have now been handed over to russia the group was patrolling the russian ukrainian border when i mean to me they crossed over at night at a section of the border that is not well signposted they were then into septic by

the ukrainian security services can from what we understand the police talks will complicated and difficult but it is important to note that. border incidents like this are not uncommon early in august there were around four hundred ukrainian servicemen who crossed over into russian territory now they were encircled by the anti government forces they asked the russian border patrol to give them a humanitarian corridor also that they could evacuate they wounded and they were injured they also said they had run out of food and the mission later they returned to ukraine but not off to some of their personnel received medical treatment inside russia there was also another incident some three days ago when some sixty ukrainian servicemen crossed over into russia seeking shelter this comes as the anti government forces are on the offensive this is a military operation where they are seeking to assist trapped citizens from the notion and from the constant shelling that we've seen some of your trainee an army here in the east of the country essentially what these anti-government commanders

are saying is that they are protecting the civilians here in this part of the country now they continues to be a targeting of residential areas there has been a real way station that has been hit there is a proving as well as a car and a bus that has gone up in flames and we just drove past that site this is several hours after the attack happened and met bass is still smoldering the anti government troops continue to push back the ukrainian army and they are receiving assistance from foreign fighters who volunteered to come and when they were cisterns. everybody is war is over every european is a war. and more and more overseas fighters all signing up for joining the antic you have troops in eastern ukraine the wall is slowly advancing into jeannette's city center this used to be a hardware store but like a growing number of soft targets around the city it has been reduced to rubble a growing number of europeans are saying enough is enough and are backing their

words up with action twenty five year old niccolo was a professional soldier with the elite french mountain troops for five years. now he's pushing his skills to good use in ukraine alongside a contingent of other foreign volunteers he's training anti-government forces in urban guerrilla warfare. these are people's militias these are not mercenaries or professional soldiers so they need instruction they really have the motivation whereas the kiev army which is a kind of puppet of nato they don't have any motivation whatsoever and they do not really know why they are fighting and against whom they are fighting so that is our main strength. the aid is also somebody like. for many of these people from the west it's the first time to come defend what is considered by western governments bad cards or bad guys cards so it's very important to show the people from the west are distinct from their governments and they are ready to come and fight and risk

their lives to defend another world it's not just france volunteers from c.b.s. spain germany poland israel and the united kingdom are indeed manske on the frontline. we believe that ukrainian army will not be able to sustain a word or even fall because it's huge the day goes by they lose money they have as motivation to lose manpower. so it's a day that goes by they grow weaker we grow stronger europe now finds itself in between a rock and a hard place what to do is move its young men sign up to fight against its ally. but at legally we don't see what the french government can do to us because first of all we're not paid so we're not mercenaries we're not terrorists we're not declared this and of course it's a mission of information it's a political mission it's a mission of soft power

a mission that's growing stronger as a brigade of western volunteers is put together under the name of the united continent they're showing just how disunited europe is on the question of ukraine policy r.t. did its eastern ukraine. earlier international law expert alexander mercurius joined us to this just the release of the russian soldiers who had been held for five days in ukraine. training government want you to. listen. they're trying to argue and have been trying to argue for a long time that they're not really fighting the people of the eastern ukraine but that they're fighting the russian army so here they had ten russian actually jen. actual us soldiers and they were able to grade them and to live on television and to show them as proof of the claim that they've been making for a long time that it is the russian army that they're fighting rather than their own

the evidence does not look which will convince me that there are any russian troops there but of course one can have un convincing evidence if people want to believe and these ten russian soldiers unfortunately were if you like a gift from heaven he that respect. meanwhile the self-proclaimed authorities and the nats say they have a large ukraine's army to take their wounded and dead ivan encircled area in eastern ukraine these are the pictures from the outskirts of the timing of the advice where you can see troops carrying i think if i had to wait several brigades from ukraine's national guard have been trapped in the area for a week and have suffered severe losses through offensive by local militia groups earlier president let me put a call for a humanitarian corridor to be open to allow you to free interests to get out of the commanders in kiev insisted on revolving the situation by force

russia's deputy defense minister has said kiev is accusations that moscow has boots on the ground in ukraine and is supplying arms to government forces are simply incorrect he made their comments to slovak media earlier on saturday. so it's gross. ukraine was part of the soviet union and there were many arms depots across the soviet union and when russia and ukraine became separate states millions of automatic rifles mines an artillery systems were left in ukraine's territory so there were warehouses with arms on the turrets you were a kid is now conducting its punitive action against its own people and these warehouses came under the control of anti government forces people who took up arms to defend their rights so to speak about russia supplying arms to the net school lugansk is simply wrong just look at what ukraine's army is fighting with its fighting with russian arms will soviet times to be exact. meanwhile european

leaders are at a summit in brussels and joining them ukraine's president has gone a step further in his accusations against russia that operation cast claimed there are thousands of russian troops and hundreds of times in ukraine soil he say's they pose a grave threat not only to the country but to the peace and stability of europe these are images presented by nato which the alliance claims prove the russians self-propelled artillery units are moving through east ukraine other images allegedly show activity in russian near the ukrainian border something nato say this is part of moscow's so-called the stabilizing strategy moscow has rebuffed the allegations saying the pictures only damage the alliance's international reputation . the e.u. say's it wants to avoid confrontation but is prepared to toughen sanctions against moscow german chancellor angela merkel sees new steps will be drawn up if the situation in ukraine worsens but the head of russia's lower house of parliament say

that any such measures will also harm ordinary europeans. spoke exclusively to r.t. international media as the sanctions policy spirals out of control more and more m.p.'s and politicians in general start to question its effectiveness they see with increasing clarity that it's the people who have to pay the price for this policy basically while imposing sanctions on russia you governments make their own businesses and their own people pick up the tab make them pay for that political mistakes or i think it's becoming more and more obvious so the sentiment of the political elite and the general public is shifting moscow and brussels have agreed that ukraine will have to pay the huge debt that it was russia for not true of gas supplies ensuring the sea of transit of gas pump through ukraine's pipeline system is vital for the e.u. and not the pendency on russian fuel will remain at least for another decade according to the reading agency fitch is predicting that other suppliers will be

unable to step in and meet the demand gap in the short term europe cannot rework current infrastructure or shift to using other sources such as fracking for instance ukraine also depends on russia for gas supplies but knows moscow more than five billion dollars the state coffers are running empty and one of the country's largest power plants had to shut down after running out of gas people are now being encouraged to cut down on their energy usage as well as artie's ilya trenka reports . it looks like ukraine's capital is in for another sunny week although throughout the hot summer a key of was not lining up for air conditioners but rather elektra's boilers as the government saving gas for the winter people have been left with cold showers in the summer the country is preparing for december way in advance like in this school work kids will now have classes on saturdays to avoid the deep freezes of christmas

middle east and amongst muslims in the u.k. is that the u.k. government is part of a war against islam in this facilitates and plays into the hands of those who are who are promoting political islamics especially extremist elements who show yes this is a war against islam and yes we can build in recruiting organize on this basis but fundamentally it is the policy of the u.k. government in hand with the united states government that has created the conditions for this development i think. is the real politics of what's going on the terror threat level is not really about perceived terror it's about preparing public opinion in the u.k. and in the united states for an escalating intervention by the united states in the u.k. in the middle east and they always have to do it on the pretext of protecting the domestic population against the threat of terrorism. the jihadist threat has put the spotlight on security plans for the nato summit in cardiff a new port next week and the u.k.
