international coming to you live from moscow with me welcome to the program. russian soldiers detained ukraine almost a week ago have returned home temperature rivers were captured when they claimed they unintentionally crossed the ukrainian border while on a routine patrol policy here has been following the developments. the talks were complicated and difficult but we can now confirm that all ten of russian paratroopers crossed over into ukraine are back inside russia the negotiations were easy but thankfully common sense prevailed and the guards are back with us the soldiers were patrolling the ukrainian russian border at night when they unintentionally crossed over into ukrainian territory it was a part of the border that is not signposted they were later detained by the ukrainian security services such border incidents are not uncommon and on several occasions ukrainian soldiers have in fact crossed over into russia but russia's

never made much fanfare and it's always ensured that they are able to return safely back to ukraine there was an incident early in august when around some four hundred ukrainian servicemen appealed to the russian border guards for humanitarian colorado that would allow them to bring their injured and into russia at the same time it would allow them to stock up and food they'd run out of food they'd run out of ammunition they later returned to ukraine after they wounded had been treated inside russia also around three days ago some sixty three ukrainian servicemen so to shelter on the russian side of the border this was just state the shelling they later to also returned back into ukraine. international law expert alexander chorus told us why he thinks kiev was thrilled to have detained actual russian servicemen the ukrainian 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 parade them and to put them 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 people the evidence does not look which will convince him that there are any russian troops there but of course one can have unconvincing evidence if people want to believe it and these ten russian soldiers unfortunately were if you like a gift from heaven in that respect now in the meantime the war it's waging in the east has claimed the lives of over seven hundred troops and wounded over two and a half thousand but the government is accused of underreporting and turkey for suggest the number is more like fourteen thousand casualties. some of the fiercest

fighting in eastern ukraine has been in the town of vice in the deniece gratian the ukrainian army has been encircled there by anti-government forces soldiers claim they have suffered serious losses because he didn't send any reinforcement and other reports filed by policy or he looks out the growing frustration in the army. as the fighting intensifies and anti government forces close in a coup for hope goes on on said three enforcements for trafficking in troops also incoming it's not the first time kids soldiers feel abandoned let me take care of needed lizzie. limits a little here or three obvious what a threat of force from a bloke level sheer joy i must do well across the dark women's woods i wish there was a lot whenever things go use it was when i was a regional i motives are very unpleasant for every reason much it's a far cry from the tough talk of ukrainian president petro poroshenko talking of a strong country and strong all me instead its young and often inexperienced

soldiers as suggested by an alleged conversation between a commander and a tank soldier leaked online i do five. forty five was i was three was or was there was a thank you for you out there it is frustration is growing among the troops who used to question it then they feel this sense i think that you will get with know it to begin with that it's that. and the government the head of the interior ministry is locking horns with the need of the radical nationalist white sick to group which is taking part in the fighting in the country's east if our demands are not met will be forced to withdraw our battalions from the front line and launch a march on to kiev to carry out speedy reforms in the interior ministry. jaros with

they were operated by russian soldiers kill you put out this video claiming it's a russian. 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 its western members push 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. . and let him putin says. he and petro poroshenko have agreed on the terms of a peaceful end to the crisis raging in east ukraine in an interview with a russian t.v. channel he stressed he also stressed that the primary reason for the current conflict is the coup in kiev in february and a way out of the crisis he said depends on the political will and power of the new leadership will have more on what president putin had to say later in the day. the human rights watch has again called in kiev for information on the russian photo

scale of isis the photography is hyper real islamic states markets and techniques are becoming increasingly more professional and widespread as its propaganda is found in different languages in news updates videos twitter accounts magazines and on t.v. the democratic they're targeting is you know they're relying on the ignorance of youth distorting the koran of course but they're also using various kinds of stylistic mannerisms which the youth are familiar with from the street from you tube from twitter and so forth in other words it has a very modern look and feel it feels like a media extravaganza but it's suffused with excitement now if we take a look at the cover of the islamic states latest magazine they will see that it's a play on a noah's ark and wish the message is it's either them or the flood and experts say

there isn't controversy and fear to get more followers how are they doing that they're using hate propaganda by showing their adversary is paradoxically as killing babies is they also are i think a remarkably harsh in their language they present their enemy is indeed humanized terms of some kind of humanity just as the nazis did so they only use pejoratives like crusades while watson nations might be trying to ball my sis out of existence. such as itself seems to have learned to those bombs and can bridge social media and therefore its existence online grow stronger than ever merino call survive reporting from london for it see now the threat posed by jihad as is top of the agenda at next week's nato summit yet the spine fears of an attack hundreds have protested against the blog getting involved the more military campaigns later

leaders at a summit brussels will be the latest escalation in the trade war since moscow imposed a full import ban as brussels tries to curb the impact of this ban some western politicians have put forward their own ideas on how to lessen the pain. keeps food you know that. german agriculture minister believes eating away the food which was supposed to go to russia could help local producers moneywise and also put additional pressure on moscow. early estimates show the e.u. could forfeit up to seven billion euros over the food embargo and this means around one hundred thirty thousand people could lose their jobs and some say the e.u.'s first attempt to plug the hole with one hundred twenty five million euros compensation just won't do. well these are polish farmers angered by the sluggishness of european politicians when it comes to financial aid this week they dumped several tons of purse right before the parliament and some german

politicians saying sanctions were big mistake. sanctions them to trade war and no means to improve the situation on the contrary we have a spiral of exclusion deterrents the german and european economies many people object to the sanctions try trim the start they have a right to feelings and this is not due to achieving. sanctions or always prove the political means feel 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 imposed 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 but our teams are going to speaker of russia's parliament who says europe should think for itself and shouldn't be pressured into imposing sanctions on moscow. movie you go over more to a large extent a european partners acted as advised or even instructed by washington which has for economic sanctions at times they look like a tool used for unfair competition an unlawful tool that is not based on a court ruling and is not sanctioned by the un and if they go ahead this will not be the first time washington and the e.u. impose sanctions on us i believe that such statements by washington should scare europe not russia first of all it's europe who will be implementing these decisions should they be made secondly it's europe european businesses and european taxpayers who will have to pay the price for this policy and i won a battle for data privacy is being waged in new york for microsoft has been ordered

every year artist point boyko investigates. in the french quarter galle this has become a familiar sight destitute migrants the majority from east africa and the middle east have made the town that temporary home these makeshift tents on an industrial wasteland have been nicknamed the jungle. i had never seen in my life you see i come from the the war to produce for example in there for their life is better gum disease estimates put the number of migrants here in cali over one and the hoff thousand of these men women and children have been queuing up for the past two hours to get some food provided for them by a volunteer organization and for many of them this is the only meal they're going to get to eat all day the majority of the people we speak to tell us their aim is

to make the journey across the english channel it's believed hundreds try to get to the u.k. illegally each week stowed away in lorries they're desperate to go to england you know they really that's what they want they don't want to stay here it's not a very nice place to stay and even if they ask for asylum many stay on the street for weeks or months before the when have logic cali's mess says the town is so be seen by refugees that locals fear for their safety and investors and pulling out of the area so frustrated as natasha bouchard that she said she's willing to buy ferry tickets to send all the migrants over to britain she's even called for the u.k.'s border to be moved from its current location in the cali ferry terminal over to the port of dover. there is only one place in the world where countries borders are not physically located in their own country and those here in cali clearly doesn't work

we are hostages of the decisions and the policies of the british government i'm demanding that the border is moved back to its own can. treat britain's borders should be in due were in the united kingdom it's not our job to control britain's borders kelly come to coop and they don't care how bad things are for us the u.k. government needs to start doing its job and not leaving it up to us to do here in france are. just twenty miles across the channel here in dover the u.k. hasn't exactly got its arms wide open the british government is so concerned over the migrants desperate attempts to make it to britain in deniz and makeshift vessels that a special fleet of border force boats has been assigned to patrol this coastline as for the suggestion to move the u.k.'s borders away from france the u.k. government has told us it's not in their plans locals in dover tell us that they've

already had enough to service so many that we can tell he was from his responsibility if they reaching their shores and believes that they should maintain a responsibility gold and join the flood of those questions of those it's a problem that no one wants to have isn't it back in cali dinner time is while they're here these men and women's lives are taken up by simple questions like where their next meal will come from or how they can get a shower all the authorities in france and britain continue to wash their hands of them. kalai and over here they've been worlds apart as next year and here are the national. if you look at my generation of americans and even more so at the millennium there

are a lot of people with all sorts of piercings and tattoos everyone wants to express themselves by getting the exact same cliched tattoos and piercings as everyone else but can we discriminate against these people because of their and out appearance normally people are against discrimination because of punishes people for the way they were born their raise search gender but no one was born with big metal loops stretching out their ear lobes so essentially yes you can't judge someone by their tattoos and piercings because they got these done consciously as an adult i mean we all know that you need to dress up on a first date or job interview to make a good impression and well having the words thug life written up your forearm are not very convincing to me that you are going to make a valuable employee or girlfriend one of the worst things that we tell children is that you should never judge a book by its cover the problem is that no one has the time to open up all these books and investigate so obviously ninety percent of the time we're going to be judging each other by the cover of our book and if that cover is full of dead fetus

tattoos like one guy i know that you should expect a lot of bigoted reactions over the course of your life but that's just my opinion . that's right. people are going to. call you. for the sort of thing everybody. you. know a. lot like. it's . nothing. it's not just

hell and welcome to worlds apart it took an american being killed by a briton in the midst of the syrian desert for the danger of violent extremism to really hit home but why does the west only seem to care about really just radicalism when it compromises its own security well to discuss that i'm now joined by hanny dear a co-founder of the u.k. based antic stream is group active change foundation mystical here thank you very much for being on the show it's a pleasure thank you for inviting me now when extremism prevention is discussed in the british media it's usually in the context of young british muslims travelling to syria getting radicalized there and then becoming a security risk once they decide to come back home and that strikes me as a bit selfish because if they were just to stay in syria and five and unfriendly government of let's say bashar assad then radicalization is not really a problem i mean.
