lockdown inside wheels amid fears that an attack may be coming neighboring some of those protesters flock to the host city head of the if. you're watching from in the world welcome. to international my names even o'neill a group of russian soldiers detained in ukraine several days ago has been returned home. to ten parra troopers who were on patrol when they crossed the pearly mark section of the border by accident before being captured a few hours later russia hundred ukraine sixty three of its servicemen that entered russian territory paula sneer has been following the developments for us. 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
9:02 pm
border when unintentionally they crossed over at 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 you mission later they returned to ukraine but not off to some of their personal 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
9:03 pm
notion from the constant shelling that we're seeing one of your trainee an army here in the east of the country essentially what these anti-government commanders are saying is that they're 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 in 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 as ever every european is a war. and more and more overseas find has all signing up for joining the end to keep troops in. and ukraine the war is slowly advancing into jeannette's city center this used to be a hardware store but like
9:04 pm
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. to the point that. 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 symbolic. for many of these people from the west it's the first time to come defend what is considered by western governments
9:05 pm
a bad cards or the 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 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 have as motivation to lose manpower they. lose so each day that goes by they grow weaker we grow stronger stronger europe now finds itself in between a rock and a hard place what to do is more vince young men sign up to fight against its ally. with a 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
9:06 pm
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 discuss the release of the russian soldiers who had been held for five days. creating government wanted to real. political at least. 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 gena actually. soldiers and they were able to grade them and to live on television and
9:07 pm
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 good trim had been in that respect meanwhile the self-proclaimed authorities in donetsk say they have allowed ukraine's army to take their wounded and dead are often encircled there in eastern ukraine these are the pictures from the outskirts of the tunnel fellow vice corps you can see troops carrying out the evacuation several brigades from ukraine's national guard have been trapped in the area for a week and have suffered severe losses in the counter offensive by local militia earlier as a plug in here put call for the material corridor to be opened to allow ukrainian troops to get out but the commanders in kiev insisted on resolving the situation by
9:08 pm
force. russia's deputy defense minister has said chios accusations that moscow has boots on the ground in ukraine and is supplying arms to anti-government forces are simply incorrect he made the comments to slovak media earlier on saturday. so it's crossly. ukraine was part of the soviet union and there were many arms topos across the soviet union and when russia and ukraine became separate states millions of automatic rifles mines not hillary 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
9:09 pm
fighting with russian arms or soviet towns to be exact. meanwhile european leaders or other summit in brussels on joining them ukraine's president has gone a step further in his accusations against russia but it has claimed there are thousands of russian troops and hundreds of tanks in ukraine's soil he said they pose a grave threat not only to the country but to the peace and stability of the group these are images presented by nato which the alliance claims prove that russian self-propelled her tillery units are moving through each to crane other images allegedly show activity in russia near the ukrainian border something nato sees as part of moscow's so-called destabilizing strub moscow has rebuffed the allegations saying the pictures only damage the alliances international reputation. the e.u. says it wants to avoid confrontation but nevertheless threatened to tighten sanctions against russia and the period of one week ultimatum the blocks leaders have agreed
9:10 pm
that new measures will be drawn up against moscow if the situation in ukraine worsens but the head of russia's were hostile parliament mourns that any further sanctions will harm ordinary europeans surrogate spoke exclusively to r.t. . by me to go walk up what is 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 is again called in kiev for information russian photo journalist understanding who went missing in ukraine at the start of this month the watchdog's deputy director for
9:11 pm
europe and central asia said the rights of media workers are being violated in ukraine both by militia groups on the army she also said the authorities have a track record of detaining russian journalists kiev says there's new information about the veteran fourth reporter. moving the program on the u.k. prime minister has been holding talks to new measures to tackle the threat posed by homegrown islamic extremism the government is concerned by its height of britons travelling to the middle east to fight what they see as a holy war the country's threat level was also raised to severe which means that attack on british soil is quote highly likely the new plans could make it easier to revoke passports of those looking to travel abroad up to two hundred fifty to how to surf thought to have returned to the u.k. already from the middle east the british government has for years given material support to what it calls moderate rebels fighting the assad regime in syria. there
9:12 pm
will be no political progress unless the opposition is able to withstand the onslaught and put pressure on assad said he is there is no military victory so we will also increase our efforts to support and to shape the moderate opposition what we're facing in iraq now with isis is a greater and deeper threat to our security than we have known before and you video has been circulating online showing a twenty one year old londoner bragging of joining what he calls the golden era of jihad he's also calling another young britons to follow his lead on the war activist brian becker give us his thoughts on the rise of extremism in the middle east. the u.k. joined with the united states in carrying out a war against muslim countries in the middle east as it's perceived in them in the middle east and amongst muslims in the u.k. is that the u.k. government is part of a war against islam and this facilitates and plays into the hands of those who are
9:13 pm
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 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. on the jihad this thread has put the spotlight on security plans for the nato summit in cardiff newport next week and the u.k. is going to great lengths to ensure the safety of the high profile figures who will be attending that says hundreds of protesters are flocking to the host cities hoary
