the rest because i. believe every week. ten russian soldiers detained after crossing the ukrainian border have been released and returned home. also this week given nato raised fears of a possible russian invasion while ukrainian troops say they are being left to die at the hands of anti-government forces plus. as a jihad is from islamic state continue their rampage through syria and iraq we look after the two pillars of the group's mind its flourishing black market economy and the media campaign distracting new recruits in droves.

which are due to nationalize from moscow was me marina joshing welcome to the program a russian soldiers detained in ukraine almost a week ago have returned home town paratroopers were captured when they claim they are intentionally cross the ukrainian border while on a routine patrol fall asleep year has been following the developments. the talks were complicated and difficult but we can now confirm that all ten russian paratroopers crossed over into ukraine or 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 as always and should that they are able to return safely back to ukraine there was an incident early in august when around some four hundred ukrainian servicemen appeal 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 off to the 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 were turned back into ukraine their national law expert alexander macoris told us why he thinks cave was thrilled to have attained after all russian servicemen. craning government wanted to milk the incident for political

purposes 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 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 in the meantime kiev says the war it's waging in the east has claimed the lives of over seven hundred troops and wandered over to a half thousand but the government is accused of underreporting and clear for

suggest the number is more like fourteen thousand casualties. some of the fiercest fighting in eastern ukraine has been in the town of ill advised in the deniece region the craning army has been encircled there by anti-government forces and soldiers claim they've suffered serious losses because he didn't send an area foresman and another report filed by policy or she looks at the growing frustration in the army. as the fighting intensifies and anti-government forces close in a call for hope goes on on said flee enforcements for trapped ukrainian troops also incoming it's not the first time kids soldiers feel abandoned let me go immediately to see if they didn't appear women with a little more here are three obvious what a group of muslim a bloke wabble sure to hammer three men across the back women's would say oh yes that was the woman response go easy it was when i was a regional i met up with very unpleasant whatever reason a 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 how do you feel five. forty five was there what was your greatest threat was or was there was a thank you for you there was frustration is growing among the troops that will do is to question it then it's delicious i think that it will hit with what the political dissidents that. at 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. yeah roche with your bragging you have deceived people who you led into illegal armed units you were turning the people who believed you into cannon fodder meanwhile losses on the battlefield are mounting. point of c r t eastern ukraine. earlier this week ukraine's president patch of our shankar said russia had invaded his country and the national media outlets immediately ran with a story with headlines about russian troops launching a stealth operation weighing in on the claims nato released a series of satellite images that apparently showed artillery movement inside ukraine are the pictures supposedly indicated to vittie in russia adjacent to the a crane border and something nato says as part of moscow's destabilizing strategy they don't look out of the executive director at the ron paul institute for peace

and prosperity says the pictures credibility is highly questionable but i think these were released by the same they were taken by the same company that the u.s. had used to relieve its satellite information about m.h. seventeen the allegiant air flight the existence of bones by the rebels in ukraine and so i think it has very dubious credibility as a private firm i don't think it shows anything i don't think what most people in the west understand is that everyone on both sides with the exception of some ukrainians having american weapons but everyone is using russian weapons the line of russian tanks means nothing because we don't have the information to tell us where it came from as to whether russia has troops on its border if it's inside its border you know there were businesses i know that if we had unrest on the border with mexico here in the u.s. you'd be sure we'd have a military presence there to make sure our borders were secure. a lot of important says he and petro poroshenko have agreed on the terms of

a peaceful and to the crisis raging in east ukraine and in an interview with a russian t.v. channel the russian president also said there have to be substantial talks on the status of the region he stressed that the primary reason for the current conflict is family are in key of and that now is the time for the sides to stop fighting because winter is coming well we'll have more on what president putin had to say later in the day. human rights watch has again called in kiev for information on russian photo journalist andrew stanton who went missing in ukraine at the start of this month kiev says it has no information about the veteran photo journalist the watchdog's deputy director for europe and central asia said the rights of media workers are being violated in ukraine both by militia groups and the army she also said the authorities have a track record of detaining russian journalists.

at other news the west is scrambling to form a coalition against the islamic state as the jihad is make further gains in syria and iraq washington is urging the world community to unite in efforts to root out the militants at the same time stepping up airstrikes against them but as are going to reports it was the west that helped the child is to flourish in the first place . the u.s. president has diagnosed the islamic state rooting out a cancer why geisel won't be easy and won't be quick many are asking if the cancer could have been caught at an earlier stage when these lawmakers state group that's part of the syrian opposition was gaining momentum in the country and when rich donors in gulf states were funding and arming the group but until recently the west seemed more preoccupied with toppling the syrian president we will work with like minded states to support the syrian opposition to hasten the day when assad falls

but the european union has agreed to bring to an end they arms embargo on the syrian opposition we are constantly consulting with the opposition on how they can get organized so that. they're not splintered and divided in the face of the onslaught from the assad regime for years the white house tried to present a picture of the syrian opposition as consisting of quote former farmers and teachers some within the intelligence community had a really big red flag that was alarming the administration and elected officials that the problem in syria was bigger than anybody anticipated but the problem is that the elected officials chose to have a moment of dumb and dumber and hear what they wanted to hear so you had john mccain patrolling the streets of aleppo thinking that supporting the insurgents was

a good idea one thing the west perhaps failed to see was the blurred lines between the moderate and the radical groups within the syrian opposition lysis until very recently was part of a broad sunni group in syria that was being supplied by the united states the extremist group makes use of modern technologies like no other radical organization they even use surveillance drones to plan attacks on the syrian military the question arises whether the you. there's misjudged the scale of extremism in syria is it focused all efforts on bringing down the syrian government you know so much cooperation where you know all the help you got for being with us. for free there last night out there that's nothing to spend. their lives to see bills or charlotte when they come if you're waiting for them which they call any of. these let me state group is now hearing about all the arms and money that they have seized both in iraq and in syria isis sympathizers are posting pictures on twitter

in the u.s. cities with a message saying we are in your streets something that is typical of prices is this vicious sense of humor if you will they're big fans of social media and they have been using all the west can offer to spread what president obama called cancer in washington i'm going to shut down party and the islamic state has managed to create one of the most successful business models in the world of terrorism with assets worth an estimated two billion dollars a significant amount around two million dollars reportedly comes from selling oil to kurds in iraq syria turkey and jordan smuggling and kidnapping is also a lucrative sideline ransom payments have brought in around ten million dollars in recent years and these lawmakers state even publishes a corporate style annual report to attract new sponsors well while when it comes to attracting new fighters social media is skeete as more and costs are in our reports

. pictures of nude slated corpses of the so-called infidels and photoshop images of western troops involved in flames these are just some of the growth task methods employed by the islamic state illustrated in glossy magazines and online and its attempt to spread its message a message that even al qaeda is uncomfortable with visit those what was striking out can produce some remarkably good visual graphics but nothing on the 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 they're relying on the ignorance of you distorting the qur'an 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 in which the message is it's either them or the flood and experts say they're using 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 crusade while watson nations might be trying to ball my sis out of

existence. i says itself seems to have learned to those bombs that cam breach social media and therefore its existence online grow stronger than ever merino call survive reporting from london for art's sake and the threat posed by jihad as a stop of the agenda at next week's nato summit yet despite fears of an attack hundreds now protested against the blog getting involved in war military campaigns later this hour a live report on why people are tired of the west war policies. when

we come to talk about the addiction to cigarettes we were on the stand quite clearly that there is no other smoking or not smoking we believe completely that abstinence. call quite understand why we don't have the same belief for drugs or alcohol to me the only way to productively dependency is to give up trucks altogether. yours c b s this is our moral agenda on propaganda are full it is the state sponsor of russia today programme just words by sabean not like i don't think many analysts predict that it is just ridiculous non-answer to my question. johnny's not be supportive there is safety and sometimes their lives all over the

wall to bring people stories among the public. which i don't want you to see we're talking.

welcome back you're watching r.t. slovakia could veto the e.u. tam to impose more trade sanctions against russia next week the country's prime minister says the measures are meaningless and counterproductive and that there is no point in supporting sanctions that could hurt the economy further restrictions announced by european leaders at a summit in brussels would be the latest escalation in the trade war since moscow imposed a food import ban as brussels tries to curb the impact of this ban some western politicians have put forward their own ideas of how to lessen the pain. one day keeps food you know that. the german agriculture minister believes eating away the food which was supposed to go to russia could help local producers money wise and also put additional pressure on moscow. well early estimates show that you could forfeit up to seven billion euros over the food embargo just means around one

hundred thirty thousand people could lose their jobs and some say the first attempt to plug the hole with one hundred twenty five million euros compensation just won't do. now these are polish farmers angered by the sluggishness of european politicians when it comes to financial aid this week they dumped several tons of peppers why before the is here parliament some german politicians think sanctions were a big mistake. especially does was different sanctions than the trade war i know means to improve the situation on the country we have a spiral of exclusion the tyrants the german and european economies many people who check to the sanctions right from the start they have a right to feeling that this is not doing to achieve anything. and vice versa sanctions are always prove that the political means failed they are useless and they are harming the population sanctions always lead to losses on both sides and

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 and now because of that a lot of entrepreneurs as well as the general public in germany has been affected by that was our team to review the speaker of russia's parliament who says europe should think for itself and shouldn't be pressured into imposing sanctions on moscow. go to a large extent european partners acted as advised or even instructed by washington which as 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 u.n. 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. airline a battle for data privacy is being waged in a go or where microsoft has been ordered to hand over e-mails and user data stored outside the us find out how the software giant plans to challenge the court ruling at r.t. dot com. and pinpoint strikes against cancer cells carried out by now robots could revolutionize treatment of the disease the full story is on our website. the threat posed by islamic stage hardass will top the agenda at next week's nato summit in cardiff and newport but the prospect of a blog getting involved in another distant war has disconcerted matty with hundreds

turning out and one of the host cities to protest against military action harry fear reports from south wales. well the leader is the organizers of this protest movement against an h o hope but in the coming hours and days ten to twenty thousand protesters from across wales the u.k. and even some coming from mainland europe are going to a common here type protest nato summit which is taking place on thursday and friday around sixty leaders from around the world coming off for this friday high profile and significant conference protesters here are against nato itself the the and should they see as they say just waging war on a conscience a status symbol of global equality now to protect the nato summit taking place in the next few days has been on trial precedented security operation by the

police close to ten thousand police officers have been drafted in from across the u.k. now this operation that critics say has cost up to fifteen million pounds to secure a part of newport this city and also wells capital cardiff which has also been caught up significantly in the security preparations including tens of kilometers of security barriers being put in the center of the south wales cities the police are trying to do many things first protect the nato summit itself second to also facilitate the democratic protests of peaceful protesters and third to try and keep wales and the u.k. secure given the increased terrorist threat which was raised just in the last couple of days. unless it's mother stories in brief hundreds of protesters have been injured and a number of killed in the pakistani capital islamabad one police trying to disperse

around different sources say between one and eight people lost their lives sounds as march towards the prime minister's official residence demanding. his resignation about twenty thousand riot police were deployed to block the demonstration pakistan has been gripped by and rest for weeks with protest leaders saying they will not back down until the prime minister resigns. in iceland authorities have raised aviation warnings to the highest level after an eruption at the border bungle kanno a no fly order has been restyled list for the region and a friday is smaller eruption also prompted authorities to briefly restrict flights . soldiers from around the world marched on red square on saturday to make not war but music our correspondent it was in the heart of the russian capital to watch the annual extravaganza of military orchestras. every year at the end of august this place that's best known for being stomped on by thousands of russian military boots

becomes an arena for the likes of mexican mariachis or chinese scholars the monks the woodall and many others it's time for the grand military tattoo on the red square. the festival is not really a contest but there's always a slight feeling of competition as usual some try to well the crowds with tradition it's the most it's from yeah 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 packed in the

space if i speak with military bands and orchestras from wherever you can imagine but of course there's no show without plenty of intense rehearsing. for this it's our first time here and there's a huge difference between rehearsing at home and on red square the air here is much cleaner than back in polluted china so we're absolutely excited. calling the chinese team an army orchestra maybe a little far fetched but it's their guts and skills that perhaps receive the loudest and they should. of course the other eight nations taking part got almost as much. but it's the hosts who are served the right to bring the. to a final crescendo. all to be topped with fireworks over the

world's best known on you don't. go our tea. and have a hand get behind the scenes in our athena latest episode of news team. no a famous politician is tweeting that a for 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 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 you young ones 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 .
