it's nine pm right here in moscow this is our ten russian pruett's detained in ukraine after apparently crossing the border accidentally are returned home. this week some ukraine's most battle hardened units are struck with a massive counterattack with military start blaming kiev and kiev blaming a stealth russian invasion. how we examine how the islamic state terrorists are exploiting black market trade not why we are not sure that you have these there are in a rock concert. in

thanks for your company our top story them tonight ten russian paratroopers of returned home earlier today after spending almost a week detained in ukraine the group was captured when they claim they mistakenly crossed the ukrainian border while on routine patrol paulus lee has been following that story the talks were complicated and difficult but we can now confirm that all ten of russian paratroopers crossed over into ukraine 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 nice 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 all. has ensured that they are able to return

safely back to your crane there was an incident early in august when around some four hundred ukrainian service men appealed to the russian border guards for a humanitarian corridor or it would allow them to bring their injured end into russia at the same time it would allow them to stock up and food they'd run out of food they had 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 sought shelter on the russian side of the border this was just state the shelling they later to also were turned back into ukraine international law expert xander mccurry told us why he thinks you have deployed to the port russian servicemen in the media spotlight. craning government wanted to real. 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 actually gen actually more soldiers and they were able to grade 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 much more convincing that there are any russian troops there but of course one can have unconvincing evidence if people want to believe and these ten russian soldiers unfortunately were if you like a gift from heaven in that respect. in other developments ukrainian government forces are withdrawn from a village in lugansk region the rural communities been the focal point of intense fighting using see in these pictures when this is so large numbers of ukrainian armored vehicles and tanks have been left there many of them been destroyed in all it's now been four months since kiev launched its military crackdown in the east.

since then it's officially now admitted to the deaths of almost eight hundred government troops and more than two and a half thousand have been injured but kids are now being accused of a massive cover up and to government forces septa fourteen thousand military servicemen have died and that casualties have been under-reported on purpose in the last few days alone hundreds of government troops have reportedly been killed or taken prisoner in the town of skin the donetsk region their entire battalion from of cells surrounded during a counterattack by antigovernment forces one of the commanders of those units accused of abandoning them not to fall asleep reports on the growing frustration in the crimean army. as the fighting intensifies and anti government forces close in a call for help goes on on said three enforcements for traps ukrainian troops also incoming it's not the first time kids soldiers feel abandoned let me take a minute or two to see if they didn't appear women with the rebel yell or three obvious what are sort of interest from

a global level sure to how much you will of course but there are glimmers will tell you what the only response was you know was almost was really true i met up with various was much more i was there much it's a far cry from the tough talk of ukrainian president petro poroshenko talking of a strong country and strong army instead its young and often inexperienced soldiers as suggested by an alleged conversation between a commander and a tank soldier leaked online. fire was. i was. i. was. i was a i thought you. frustration is growing among the troops is to president bush delicious i think that you will see the witnesses. and the

government the head of the interior ministry is locking horns with the leader of the radical nationalist right sect a 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 yarrow with your bragging you have deceived people whom you led into illegal armed units you are turning the people who believed you into can and daughter. meanwhile losses on the battlefield are mounting. policy on t. eastern ukraine. earlier this week ukraine's president petro poroshenko said russia had invaded his country the international media outlets of mediately remember the story goes you can look at some of the coverage. panic alert in western media after kiev tweeted that russia invaded ukraine when

reports started coming in that fighting broke out between the rebels and ukrainian forces in the port town of. many were quick to claim that it's russia's doing what seems to be happening on the ground however is that russian troops of pushing in from russia photos of tanks emerged in social media with nothing to suggest that they were operated by russian soldiers kill you put out this video claiming it's a russian tank. 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 see 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. occluding twenty three children have died in the conflict in eastern ukraine but we have never heard the u.s. ambassador to the your way of call on kiev to stop bombing its own people in washington i'm going to check out r.t. . the russian president shed some light on the behind the scenes diplomatic wrangling over ukraine meantime in an interview with national media revealed that he is ukrainian counterpart had reached an agreement on how to peacefully resolve the conflict he also said there needs to be substantial talks on

the future status of the region and he made it clear that he thinks february's violent cool in kiev is what was responsible for the ongoing conflict in the country's east now the russian president added that winter is coming and hardship will therefore only increase if the fighting doesn't stop human rights watch is again called on kiev for information about russian photo journalist andrew stelzer as well he's been missing in ukraine zero since the start of august kevin says it's got no information about andres whereabouts watchdogs deputy director for europe and central asia says the rights of media workers have been violated in ukraine by both militia groups and the army adding that the authorities have a track record of detaining russian journalists. washington's leading the charge against anti islamic state militants urging other western nations to form a coalition against the jihadists in syria and iraq the us has also stepped up their struggle against the group but the latest report suggested stream of enough

funds to replace any arms and equipment destroyed by the us islamic states managed to create indeed the most successful business models in the world of terrorism and assets worth an estimated two billion dollars reports suggest a significant amount of that around two million dollars a day comes from selling oil to kurds in neighboring countries and smuggling and kidnappings also very lucrative sideline with ransom payments bringing in around ten million dollars in recent years and indeed if you want to check them out these figures are publicly available the islamic state publishes a corporate style annual report to attract new sponsors the radical groups are also social media savvy and key to getting new militants to join their fight that is as when a coster of reports. pictures of need to lated 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 hannity those what was striking out can produce some remarkably good visual graphics but nothing on the scale of isis the photography is hyper real there is no mix 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 youth they're relying on the ignorance of youth 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 crusaders while watson nations might be trying to bomb isis out of existence i see. itself seems to have learned to those poems that cam reach social media and therefore its existence online grow stronger than ever merino call survive reporting from london for art's sake. when i was trying to come up with

a solution of its own to the islamic state threat. in line so therefore maybe kick off a new remote military campaign we talk about very soon here on r.t. international. we think of the way we think of. sand beaches. coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. and frank. why he has a deep dark little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you to know about. threw away. all of. the well i did read the daily sharpshooting take it all will the new season.

again slovakia could veto the eaves attempt to impose more trade sanctions against russia next week the country's prime minister called the measures meaningless and counterproductive adding that there's no point in supporting sanctions that could hurt the economies that was echoed by his czech counterpart to wants to revise the bloc strategy the further strictures announced by european leaders at the summit in brussels will be the latest escalation in the trade or since moscow clampdown on

food imports as he tries to curb the impact of the ban some politicians there got their own ideas on how to ease the pain. he keeps putting over it. germany's i recall she was tbilisi eating up the food which is supposed to go to russia and could help local producers money wise and also put additional pressure on moscow more estimates in fact show the e.u. could lose up to seven billion euros over the food embargo and better on a hundred thirty thousand people could lose their jobs because of it. being here these polish farmers seeking full compensation for their losses they dump several tons of peppers outside the e.u. parliament building in brussels some german politicians think sanctions were a big mistake. especially if it does us different sanctions than the trade war i

know means to improve the situation on the contrary we have a spiral of exclusion that hurts the german and european economies many people who rejected the sanctions right from the start they have a right to feeling that this is not the way to achieve anything. 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 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. well the losing money over the events in ukraine is still making sure kids

got enough cash to keep the country going ukraine's president says brussels is ready to hand that around a billion dollars in the near future that's on top of the one point four billion dollar installment already approved by the international monetary fund to get it though ukraine will have to raise people's household bills of los have to freeze wages and pensions even introduce new taxes as well and that's not all the package includes slashing tax breaks for agriculture allowing banks to repossess property but complying with demands will be hard for a nation that's already in economic freefall its debts expect the jump to more than sixty percent g.d.p. the country's output by the end of this year that pace it could reach eighty seven percent in four years the experts say significantly hampering ukraine's ability then obviously to pay its debts making matters worse is the receive the economy economists predict a dramatic drop in the coming months as kiev digs to find another nine billion dollars to pay off lenders one former assistant to the u.s.

treasury told us that ukraine will need to sell its assets to western companies to pay that loan. takes longer. to curb its expenditure as it is to create tensions it has to go of employment has to raise money that it can use to reach. out and part of this process is the country is forced to sell all of its assets to western terms if ukraine has any or all gas deposits that could be tracked. they will have to sell those deposits to a western. procedure and say oh. there you go they're still used to recreate your. quick plug for a website r.t. dot com couple stories you might be interested in tonight pools of fake blood in

a belgium airport what's that about well that could be said a brush with a mall and they apparently splashed across one of the terminal find out why they did it well that mess was about it artie dot com also on line two thousand is the germans have rallied to tell their government to get its prying eyes out of their private lives they don't want any more details about that at r.t. dot com. the threat posed by islamic state terrorists will be high on the agenda at the forthcoming nato summit in the welsh cities of cardiff and new port authority fear reports next hundreds of already gathered to protest the threat of yet maybe more military action amid fears the alliance might decide to launch itself into another distant war. well the leaders the organizers of this protest movement against nato hope that 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 common here top protest nato summit which is taking place on thursday and friday around sixty leaders from around the world coming off for this very high profile and significant conference protesters here are against nato itself the the entity which they see as they see it as. waging war on countries they say to symbolically of global equality now to protect the nato summit taking place in the next few days has been on tressa dented 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 new port 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 terror threat which was raised just in the last couple of days. france's interior minister's quashed plans for a temporary shelter for thousands of u.k. bound illegal immigrants stuck in france british politicians really condemned the idea by the mayor of cali accusing fronts of bigger a few leagues stopped for illegal migration kalai were britain's got border checkpoint is over run right now but thousands of people trying to reach the u.k. that was every year ali has got the story. in the french quarter galle this has become a familiar sight destitute migrants the majority from east africa and the middle

a very nice place to stay and even if they ask for asylum many stay on the street for weeks or months before they even have lodging cali's mess says the town is so besieged by refugees that locals fear for their safety and investors 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 buddhism and physically located in their own country and that's here in cali clearly doesn't work we are hostages of the decisions and the policies of the british government i'm demanding 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 is from his responsibility if they reaching their shores and believes that they should maintain a responsibility golden trundled flow to 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 are the authorities in france and britain continue to wash their hands of them. kalai and over well every year thousands of refugees try to cross from cali in northern france to britain attracted by a currently favorable migrant policy but the situation is growing worse year by year two french police have prevented over seven thousand illegal border crossings in the last six months alone already more than double the previous year. more top stories from r.t. it is the miss militant group in libya has reportedly secured a vacant u.s. embassy compound in tripoli washington evacuated its staff for most purposes at the end of july clashes between rival gangs that the country plunged into lawlessness after former leader monica deathy was ousted to win

for choosing out international tonight we're going to big choice therefore it's all the more appreciated up ahead the latest the scenes glimpse at how you get the news here on r t how we do it the latest episode of news t.v. so after the break. no our famous politician is tweeting that our for government is using excessive force against protesting citizens does this mean we're going to see yet another intervention. democratize 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 young uns 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 . to what extent tasting be an american and british policies in the middle east have contributed to the creation of

a very terrifying terrorist group the western governments of a fully understood the policies of contributed significantly to the radicalization of young men and women around the world this is without a shadow of doubt i will confirm with i would agree with the some of the young men that we were greeted certainly are being radicalized because of western foreign policies. of the new political life these policies. i think i feel lonely.
