which martin are national live from moscow i'm marina joshie now syria has joined the fight against jihad is terrorizing neighboring iraq carrying out air strikes against isis militants the rebels recently attacked one of the country's largest air bases and seized control of several oil fields and the contested city of kirkuk a suicide bomber left six people dead we have witnessed the aftermath. in the heart of downtown cure cooper just moments ago a suicide bomb went off right here on this street now the details so far are murky but what we've heard from officials is that one man a suicide bomber was seen on the street wearing an explosive device as this he was actually aiming for the building down there it's a kurdish political party office apparently authorities had seen him they tried to intercept him and that is when he detonated his device now if you look around it's

another hey us 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 this 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. a place you probably get when. we're not exactly sure what's happening there some kind of a motion right now you can see there's kurdish authorities here trying to keep calm but again and this just took place now the background to all of this very hotly contested city where there are kurds arabs sunnis shias christians turkmen this is a very violent city that has seen many explosions many of 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 to claim this as their historic and cultural powell. 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 cuckoo province he said that this is a very very calm city that there are problems and problems with the attacks that security was actually getting better and one of the things that is very clear here

from what we've seen today is that that's far from the case this the captain of your group. and his yacht is continue their push through iraq there's no part of society unaffected you are now looking at food apparently showing children joining the ranks of isis young boys are seen holding automatic rifles while traveling with a convoy of rebels human rights watch claims that in syria isis fighters are already recruiting children as snipers but their role in iraq has not been confirmed. they want to has an official request from baghdad to launch air strikes in iraq but i support or have threatened to avenge any strike with attacks on americans in gets the details on that story as well as live updates on the ongoing crisis in iraq on our t.v. dot com. america stop business lobbies have launched an ad campaign to stop us from slapping

a fresh round of sanctions on russia washington's allies in europe are going to threats but while the measures are designed to damage russia's economy they are also sending shivers through american companies are now reports. as the u.s. and its western allies consider a third round of economic sanctions against russia two of the biggest u.s. business organizations are publicly warning that the move would create long lasting damage to america's economy the u.s. chamber of commerce and the national association of manufacturers are running advertisements right now in the new york times the wall street journal and washington post saying the only effect of additional sanctions would be to bar u.s. companies from foreign markets and business opportunities to firms from other countries u.s. companies fear that even temporary targeted sanctions against russia would damage their export markets and poison 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 of 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 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. . u.s. secretary of state john kerry is actually giving moscow several hours to defuse the

tension in eastern ukraine. it is critical for russia to show in the next hours literally that they're moving to help disarm the separatists to encourage them to disarm to call on them to lay down their weapons and begin to become part of a legitimate political process if sanctions take effect american companies risk losing a chunk of imports from russia and these are the top three things they buy the possibility of being cut off from russia's markets is also worrying america's businesses leaders u.s. energy china exxon mobil has a nine hundred billion dollars deal with russia's rosneft hanging in the balance and six hundred million dollars are already invested j.p. morgan must also be holding its breath as the u.s. threatens to target the financial sector it earned a fifty six million dollars in investment banking fees in russia last year took knowledge of firm intel is also

a keen investor and has spent around one billion dollars in russia over the last twenty years. 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 the country some manager bosses were spotted at the latest petroleum congress in moscow and here is the c.e.o. of exxon mobil rex tillerson bob dudley had a british petroleum was also present and as was the boss of norwegian oil giant stadol well many there are said they wanted to keep politics away from business but this is really for. doing relationship is developing. according to the culture so we don't believe this kind of problems we want these some of the u.s. business community fear or even temporary sanctions could end up in the long lasting damage to the russian exports economic expert from the university of massachusetts richard wolfe says american companies have good reasons to be worried

. the united states has direct interest in direct investments in russia it has made plans to get access to russian energy 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 they're left but we haven't a global capitalised 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 now latest figures show the u.s.

american police system about militarization who exactly are they arming up against and we find statistically people of color and people in low income areas and communities good deal 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. now the drugs which the swat team were searching for were never found the boy's parents are now demanding a federal investigation into what happened to their son who's not alone by the way to recover wilson 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 who wasn't even a suspect and it was her boyfriend the police were after on suspicion of selling drugs and ury stamp a sixty eight year old grandfather of twelve lay face down on the floor following

contribution to the rise in crime. there 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 last year 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 has turned to technology they're marking their property with love to made d.n.a. difficult going into this is synthetic d.n.a. every to be fully created is as unique as you fingerprint spirit to any available dress completely clear which will show up on t.v. light and threaded security to also contains tiny microdots that when looked at through this camera shows your id number so there's two race of trieste new property each of the combinations created is added on to a database and assign to whoever uses the kit providing

a personalized identification to one of the problems facing this town has been a rise in fare for order over a short period of time last year they saw ninety satellite navigation devices of a similar make and model taken from cars what supporters of synthetic d.n.a. hope is that it will deter criminals by eliminating any potential market for their stolen goods. so my and i'm right there are two clear advantages to this it makes it harder first to sell so in property second it's house in the us to actually catch thieves even the officer suspects something might be stolen they can shine a u.v. torch overeat and if it blows the d.n.a. code just needs to be checked against the database any homes that are with the d.n.a. display one of the stick is to let any would be crooks know that if they try any pilfering from these premises the law of the law is backed up by technology that

makes it impossible for them to get so way without a trace peter all of a gemini. and after the break we take a closer look at us economy and boom bust. the federal migration service of russia has recently received more than five thousand requests for political asylum from ukrainian citizens these requests come from refugees who are fleeing the conflict in the eastern part of ukraine in fact i personally know people who are from the ukraine who are now essentially trapped in russia because their native regions are at war with the kiev government there is a classic mainstream media talking point about russian aggression and russian imperialism which gets repeated constantly in fact so often that is not even

a question but if you stop to think about it if you were trapped in a region at war and you were going to escape odd thought where would you go into the heart of the aggressors and imperialists no you go in the direct opposite direction interestingly enough in both this conflict and the two thousand and eight war in georgia the overwhelming majority of refugees flee towards russia excluding some sort of bizarre stockholm syndrome it seems that for people in break way republics and ukraine and georgia russia is a safe haven they often say that. vote with their feet and in the case of the most recent wars in european history it is clear whose feet are voting for whom and no mainstream media talking points can deny that but that's just my opinion.
