intercept him and that is when he detonated his device now if you look around chaos this is late on a wednesday evening rush hour a lot of people in the streets. the car here completely destroyed this building also you can see there's damage in the upper floors this must have been an incredibly powerful blast now if we walk the way we think this this blast really did happen so recently that they haven't had a moment to clean up the blood right here we don't know if this is. ok you're probably feeling. we're not exactly sure what's happening there some kind of a commotion right now you can see there's kurdish authorities here trying to keep calm but again of this just took place now the background to all of this very hotly contested city that there are kurds arabs sunnis shias christians turkmen this is a very violent city that has seen many explosions many clashes over the years since

the isis the islamic state in iraq and syria militants made their push in northern iraq the iraqi army have essentially fled from these areas allowing the kurds to come in and take control of a lot of people in the city are not happy about that and we're not sure whether this is a top was retribution perhaps for the kurds reasserting their control over this territory they belong claim this as their historic and cultural capital. oh look. it's really not safe to be here the authorities have been shooting their weapon. into the air we're not sure what's going on but we're going to get out of here before any other tension erupts there hasn't even been a chance to verify the casualties verify exactly what was the target but we do believe that it was the kurdish political office yesterday we had a chance to speak with the governor of the complete province he said that this is a very very calm city that there haven't been problems with the attacks that

security was actually getting better and one of the things that is very clear here from what we see today that that's far from the case the sea captain of your crew. and his jihadist continue their push through iraq there's no part of society unaffected you and i seeing footage apparently showing children joining the ranks of isis young boys is seen holding automatic rifles while traveling with a convoy of rebels human rights watch claims that in syria isis fighters already recruiting children the snipers but their role in iraq has not been confirmed. the u.s. has an official request has an official request from baghdad to launch airstrikes in iraq but isis supporters have threatened to avenge any strike with attacks on americans you can get details on this story as well as live updates on the ongoing crisis in iraq at r.t. dot com.

now the u.s. is ready to roll back fresh sanctions against russia over the crisis in ukraine if as it says moscow will not deescalate the situation is european allies echoing the threats and while the measures are designed to damage russia's economy the plans are also sending shivers through american big business as artie's marina porter reports. as the u.s. and its western allies consider a third round of economic sanctions against russia the two biggest u.s. business organizations are warning that the move would long lasting damage to america's economy the u.s. chamber of commerce and the national association of manufacturers reportedly plan to run advertising in the new york times the washington post and the wall street journal saying the only effect of additional sanctions would be to bar u.s. companies from foreign markets and see business opportunities to firms from other countries u.s. companies fear that even temporary targeted sanctions against russia would damage

their export markets and boys in relations with russian customers business leaders say potential restrictions on technology transfers would also harm u.s. energy companies that do business in russia this is precisely what moscow warned back in march when foreign minister lavrov said any sanctions imposed on russia would come back to hurt the united states the white house told bloomberg news that the obama administration has had frequent conversations with business leaders on the issue and understands their concerns but that the u.s. can't just go on with business as usual now the obama administration is threatening to impose more sanctions on russia despite its recent steps to deescalate the crisis in ukraine at the request of president vladimir putin russian lawmakers voted tuesday to revoke legislation allowing for the use of military forces in ukraine however it seems the white house is still expecting and demanding more from

moscow. washington d.c. well russia being in emerging market with growing incomes has been quite attractive for u.s. companies the possibility of being cut off from the market is making america's business a bit nervous too so let's take a closer look at who's involved in russia boeing here buys nearly a third of its titanium here is also one of the fastest growing markets. pepsi americas car manufacturers also have a huge interest in the russian market general motors and ford sold tens of thousands of vehicles here last year or the next set of sanctions could target russia's energy sector but that could also be a big blow to u.s. and european energy giants who have a lot of interest in russia too some energy bosses were spotted the latest petroleum congress in moscow he's the c.e.o. of exxon mobil or rex tillerson bob dudley was also here he's the head of british petroleum as was the boss of norwegian oil giant staff toil while many there said that they wanted to keep politics away from business but it isn't really

a strategic. relationship it's developing. according to the culture we don't believe this kind of problems we want peace. and some in the u.s. business community fear even temporary sanctions could end up in long lasting damage to their russian exports economic expert from the university of massachusetts richard wolfe says american companies have good reason to be worried . the united states has direct interest in direct investments in russia it has made plans to get access to russian energy which it has made plans to get financial benefits by banking deals between russian banking and financial officials and americans and if it's russia there's a reaction against pressure from the united states then there are ways in which all kinds of companies in the united states will suffer losses we don't know how bad

they'll be we don't know how long their lives but we haven't a global capital list crisis right now and companies are very worried even about relatively small threats to their ability to function and that's particularly true with financial interests which is where the tensions with russia could have some effect. the latest figures show the u.s. economy has suffered its worst performance for five years but unexpected help was quick to come in just a few minutes time to see how a chinese billionaire is doing his bit to help the worst affected offering a fine dinner to new york's homeless people and promising to give each of them three hundred dollars. phase of increased us police brutality towards the public again in ground a report by american civil liberties union has revealed that seven people were killed and forty six injured as a result of swat operations over the last four years between the teams that were

designed to act in the agency situations beyond the capabilities of ordinary police have now developed into something very different. to most of the same missions were raids on private homes hunting suspected drug dealers and less than ten percent of operations dealt with riots hostage taking another shooting scenarios which the. and was initially created to deal with. this nineteen month old babies the youngest victim of the brutal attack takes a squad burst into the boy's ring and i'm wittingly threw a grenade into his cult he's now in a medically induced coma fighting for his life the family spokesperson told anita now a more about the tragedy on in the night. this flash grenade was tossed into a room of four small children the tragedy of course was that it ended in the play piano survived but it was four small children that were living in this space where

this explosive device was thrown there had been reports that there was no way to know that there were young children in this household but that is totally false what this raid and the situation with the family that you're representing say about the american police system about militarization who exactly are they arming up against we find statistically that people of color people in low income areas and communities get built with this kind of blunt force if you're in any influential community or if you have any influence personally you tend to get a knock at the door or even a courtesy call same surrender. the drugs which the swat team were searching for were never found but the boy's parents are now demanding a federal investigation to what happened to their son they are not alone by the way

through wilson he was holding her one year old baby but that didn't stop the police who opened fire after entering her house the baby was injured but survived the woman wasn't even a suspect and it was her boyfriend the police were after on suspicion of selling drugs and jury stand here sixty eight program father of twelve lay face down on the floor following orders when an officer is gun discharged and shot him in the head and again he wasn't a suspect and police were searching for his girlfriend's son a suspected drug dealer he was by the way detained minutes before swat broke into stamps home. we've got more news on up after a quick break including hiding height behind style later we report from germany on how far right movements are using a hit but. to. be

a name for himself in the states the promise of three hundred dollars per person was. filled for a lucky few in front of cameras instead of giving them three hundred dollars each he's donating ninety thousand dollars to the york city rescue mission but disappointment for those attending each and every one of the homeless having counted on the cash that was promised to him told his guests to pick up their money at the city mission people like. so we had to go to see the world get the word this word was not kept the mission got the cash but it never reached the pockets of the homeless oh my god but i tell them so now it's down to you. and especially if you're going to new york. let's have a quick look at some other news now an explosion in a shopping center in the nigerian capital has left twenty one people dead and wounded dozens more the blast happened an hour before the start of the national teams will cup match in brazil police say they have arrested one suspect no group has claimed responsibility for the attack the suspicion is likely to fall on

islamic group boko haram that has killed hundreds in bombings across the country since the start of the year clashes have broken out between demonstrators and police during a national strike by teachers and students in chile fifteen thousand strong crowd marched through the streets of santiago demanding the government listen to them as it prepares education reforms police use heavy handed tactics to disperse the crowd the new president has already promised to make education more accessible but union leaders say the changes don't go far enough. under suicide bomber blew himself up in his room at a central beirut hotel when lebanese security forces raided the premises the raid was part of an ongoing effort to pursue suspected militants in the country eleven people were injured as the explosions ripped through the building this is the second bombing to hit the lebanese capital in just two days and demonstrators and police clashed days at a refugee from a former school in berlin police broke up a human chain outside the building and made several arrests demonstrators have

promised to continue the protests until i mean. greenwich is being made between me and the local government the. people in germany's borden's are complaining of rising crime and insecurity with officials saying it's largely the work of gangs from eastern and southeastern europe and while the problem is not growing much attention in berlin or brussels like cause the turning to d.n.a. technologies to protect their own property artie's peter oliver has the story. the leafy streets of a pleasant german town on the outskirts of berlin it's an idyllic scene and one in which many to live in but that dream is turning increasingly sour with the community now plagued by burglars and. it's been rising for sixteen years since for unification we see more and more burglaries and it can take just three to four minutes to break you know be off the about it will close

a european integration makes borders open with many locals here claiming it's contributed to the rise in crime claire mom. are now so many ways to make a quick escape into another country major highways and country roads all cross borders making it harder to catch criminals. and let's here alone there were over one hundred homes burgled in this area and more than four hundred cars broken into this edition got so bad we had to look for a new way to fight crime so to try and beat the burglars this town has turned to technology they're marking their property with a law that made d.n.a. difficult going into the synthetic d.n.a. every two bullet create is as unique as you fingerprint spirit to any available dress completely clear or to show up on to u.v. light and threaded security to also contains tiny microdots that i looked at through this camera choose your id number so there's two race of tracing

pilfering from these premises the long arm of the law is backed up by technology that makes it impossible for them to get away without a trace the troll of a germany. or news at the top of the hour in between i we've got some. well going into the future only some show thirty four can just bend over fifteen billion euros until she says to reach one hundred fifty million degrees with uncle mike still to sell from st petersburg to france we travel in search of the song. knowledge update we've got the future covered.
