nato some of us protesters flock to the cities ahead of the. just past four am this sunday morning here in moscow welcome to our international with you are on the clock across the globe i mean and we start with our breaking news story of russian soldiers detained in ukraine several days ago being returned to russia. the ten part troopers who were in patrol when they crossed the pearly mark section of the border by accident before being captured paulus leader has been following developments. all ten russian paratroopers who were earlier detained by the ukrainian authorities have now been handed over to russia the group was patrolling the russian ukrainian border when unintentionally they crossed over at
8:02 pm
night at a section of the border that is not well signposted they were then intercepted by the ukrainian security services and from what we understand the release talks were 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 personal received medical treatment inside russia it 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 north action in from the constant shelling that we're seeing one of your trainee an
8:03 pm
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 railway 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 there are systems and so everybody is war and several every european the war. and more and more overseas find is all signing up for joining the anti kids troops in east. in ukraine the war 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
8:04 pm
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. to the point there is one more 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 a symbolic. 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 the bad guys cards so
8:05 pm
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 finance volunteers from c.b.s. spain germany poland israel and the united kingdom are internet scum the front line . 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 lose motivation they lose manpower they. lose so each day that goes by they grow weaker we grow stronger stronger. 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 that 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 jihad this and of course it's a mission of information it's a political mission it's
8:06 pm
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 it's eastern ukraine. earlier international law expert alexander mccurry joined us to discuss the release of the russian soldiers who had been held for five days. creaming government wanted to milk the. political. 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 actual ten actual russian soldiers and they were able to grade them and to them on television and to show them as proof of the claim that they've been making for
8:07 pm
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 you that there are any russian troops there but of course one can have un convincing evidence if people want to believe it and these ten russian soldiers unfortunately were if you like a gift from heaven in that respect involve a self proclaimed authorities internet 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 time of a low value where you can see troops pouring out the evacuation several brigades from ukraine's national guard have been trapped in the area for a week and i've suffered severe losses in the country offensive by local militia groups earlier president vladimir putin offering humanitarian corridor to be opened to allow ukrainian troops to get out but the commanders in kiev insisted on resolving the situation by force reeses deputy offense minister said kiev's
8:08 pm
accusations that moscow has boots on the ground in ukraine and is supplying arms to anti government forces or simply incorrect he made the 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 no tillery 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 it's fighting with russian arms will serve you towns to be exact you know all european

8:10 pm
of russia's lower high sa parliament warns that any further sanctions will harm ordinary grippy and sirkin a russian spoke exclusively to r.t. . but. 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 i think it's becoming more and more obvious so the sentiment of the political elite and the general public is shifting human rights watch as again call them care for information on russian photojournalist understanding who went missing in ukraine at the start of this month the watchdogs deputy director for europe and central asia said the rights of media workers are being violated in ukraine both by militia

8:13 pm
this is a war against islam and yes we can build and recruit in 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 behind the terror threat level 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 jobless thread has put the spotlight on security plans for the nato summit in cardiff a new port next week in the u.k. is going to great lengths to ensure the safety of the high profile figures will be attending lances hundreds of protesters are flocking to the host cities are here reports from cycles. of the leaders the organizers of this protest movement against

the festival is not really a contest but there's always a slight feeling of competition as usual some try to while the crowds with tradition it's the most it's from yet as of. now but in the nineteenth century it's always a not right for those. others get their round of applause for squeezing in a modern twist. and the designers make the most of the venue itself the audience dancers pack and the space behind the military bands and orchestras from wherever you can imagine but of course there's no show without plenty of intense rehearsal.
