expect people to do nothing and wait for their own deaths so what's happening now is a natural reaction by the people who live there and who are defending their rights and want those who took up weapons first blood and put it has also commented on upcoming parliamentary elections in ukraine saying that it will nor help ease the tensions in the country. all the candidates want to show how tough they are in the current circumstances it's hard to imagine anyone will advertise their peace plan there's no alternative to a military solution to the problem president putin has also stressed that russia cannot be indifferent to what is happening now in ukraine because this country has many ties cultural commercial social with big neighbor and he has said that this resistance against the european values could be seen as the cause of the conflict in ukraine. what exactly are these so-called european values supporting coups or violent seizure of power and then crushing dissent with

military might these what european values are now i think it's time we remind our western colleagues about their own ideals. president putin was talking just days after he met ukrainian president poroshenko in means can he has said that they agreed on more humanitarian aid from russia to be sent to eastern ukraine pointing out that this is a very important step forward because winter is coming and it will become harder for people there to survive through the cold. earlier this week cranes price and petro poroshenko claimed russia how to feed his country international media outlets immediately run with this story and guy any chance you can look at some of the coverage. panic alert in western media after key of twitter 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 t. 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 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 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 check out our team. human rights. watch as again called in kiev to provide information to russian photo journalist andrew stanton who's been missing in ukraine since the start of august kiev insists it has no information on greece whereabouts the watchdogs deputy director for europe and central asia say the rights of media workers are being violated in ukraine by both

publishes a corporate style and you will report to attract new sponsors the radical group is also social media south are using it to attract new militants to join their fight we know cos rev it takes up the story. pictures of mutilated corpses of the so-called infidels and photoshop images of western troops and golfed 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 qaida is uncomfortable with visit is what was striking. can produce some remarkably good visual graphics but nothing on the scale of. the photography is hyper real islamic states markets and techniques are becoming increasingly more professional and whites. it's 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 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 the noah's ark and wish the message is it's either there or the flood and experts say there is 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 ball my sis out of existence itis itself seems to have learned to those bombs that can reach social media and therefore its existence online gross wrong or the never merino course of our reporting from london forty. fifty minutes into the hour do stay with us to learn why not all european leaders are on the same page when it comes to widening sanctions against russia and more just that.

dramas that can't be ignored. stories others through a few still notes. places changing the world right now. full picture of just a. long long journey from around the globe. to me. back to watching r t international islamist militants in libya have taken over a part of the us embassy which is a fuck you waited a month ago staff were polled on cheechoo increasing lawlessness in the country with rampaging warlords on their militias seizing control earlier we asked the

editor of the pan african newswire what happens not. the security situation in libya is becoming even more precarious the united states anticipating that this would happen pulled out its personnel and drove them to tunisia well i think the united states is trying to figure out which road to take they have a lot at stake their attempts to remake libya in their own image they may decide to utilize some type of military force to get in and sort of be chad in libya but this of course will only spark more animosity and more fighting a possible grow war about those who are opposed to the u.s. backed militias inside the country prominent bahraini human rights activists mariam . has been arrested shortly after arriving at the country's or port she was flying in from denmark to check on her father also a campaigner who recently went on hunger strike in protest at his own detention we

got the thoughts of a key figure in the bahraini opposition movement not be able to job himself spent two years in jail he says the courts are at the back and call of the government you would expect to see the judge you were going to fight when she faced that he's got a member of ruling family so you are in a country that does not respect human rights did you should be system does not meet with international standards i don't of criticism by international what i think group and did a friend like i can i did this to them but they don't get so far they were going and taking a lot of you know what i defended the court and using the court using the judicial system as a tool to attack human rights activist i quickly got what i give numbers to attack people activist in the social media so we are in that more sort of passivity now we have now we had wanted to hold the rifle far but i didn't forget who was in his hunger strike where i worried about this woman they couldn't because the generation

many woman with a daughter many men would go to. slovakia could veto the e.u. hughes attempt to impose tougher sanctions against russia this week the country's prime minister called the measures meaningless and country productive adding don't there's no point in supporting sanctions that could hurt the economy but was echoed by his czech counterpart who wants to revise the bloc strategy the further restrictions thoughts are being agreed by european leaders of a summit in brussels will be the latest escalation in the trade war since moscow clamp down on food imports as the e.u. tries to curb the impact of some politicians there have their own ideas on how to ease the pain. one day keeps fourteen of it. germany's agriculture minister believes eating up 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 you could lose up to seven billion euro over the food and bargain that around one hundred thirty thousand people could end up

jobless. and farmers are already demanding compensation these polish workers dump several tons of peppers outside the e.u. parliament building and process are getting support from some politicians who believe sanctions are a big mistake. especially does us different sanctions than the trade war i know means to improve the situation on the country 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. since the sanctions are always prove that the political means failed they're 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. poland's prime minister donald tusk is to be ve used next president he'll take office on the first of december and replacing herman van rompuy who sees the e.u.'s major challenges of the economy ukraine and britain's place in europe the block's leaders have also nominated italian foreign minister federica mugger eenie to be their new foreign policy chief political commentator on a fun dance he thinks the two new leadership very different political views. might prove to be a problem for the future of the. maurine is seen very much as tolerant and candid as towards russia while donald tusk is seen as tough men who will art wrestle with

president putin about it small to about it it's about this relationship should be functional and unfortunately it's not because they contradictions are so profound that there is no other way that this states well try to vote by a letter all relations with russia because more complicated more profound the debate in europe and a less less vision common vision is represented towards russia our last chance is for european union to become a real player and our fulfill its role or its invasion to become a saver off ukraine relations lots of stories online few right now of course including why day to day jobs could be more dangerous than war for a report from the international labor organization finds that more labors die in funk trees than soldiers on the world's about the same as the full story weaving on
