10:02 am
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 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 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. ok you've really hit with. brooke. we're not exactly sure what's happening there some kind of a solution 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 there are kurds arabs the sunnis shias christians turkmen this
10:03 am

10:04 am
a very very calm city that there haven't been problems with the attacks that security was actually getting better but one of the things that is very clear here from what we've seen today is that that's far from the case you see captain of your group. well isis fighters are not just equipped with guns they're also armed with hashtags and their use of social media is already making headlines twitter is becoming their main a propaganda tool they've created android app called the dawn which allows users to find all about their sadistic plans in advance right of their twitter timeline there's also an online brochure selling the perks of living under ultra conservative and repressive sharia law and it doesn't stop there there is also an isis gift shop selling cheap t. shirts and who to use branded with a jihadist emblem well there's also disturbing evidence as to who is being forced to during the militants ranks and this video boys armed with automatic rifles are seen traveling in an isis convoy human rights groups claim that in the past the
10:05 am
fighters have had no qualms about coercing children as young as fourteen into fighting or face execution themselves. baghdad has officially asked the united states to conduct air strikes in iraq but isis reporters have threatened to avenge any sort of trade with attacks on americans you get the details of the story as well as live updates on the ongoing crisis in iraq aren't you to call. america's stop business lobbies have launched an ad campaign to stop their government from imposing another set of sanctions on russia and include strong statements from the c.e.o.'s of the national association of manufacturers and the u.s. chamber of commerce said take a closer look at some of the quotes they expressed deep concern over the sanctions as they cood they would rather harm american manufacturers and cost jobs to u.s. citizens history shows that you know lateral sanctions don't work so the head of
10:06 am
the chamber of commerce and it's time to put american jobs and growth first rate over night explains why u.s. business has gone on high alert. 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.
10:07 am
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 its recent steps to 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. and time now to get some perspective on these developments from europe and talk live to the president of the franco russian chamber of commerce and industry. thank you
10:08 am
so much mr gridley for joining us here on our national to discuss the issue much do you think that. thirds of american businessmen will be addressed. i certainly hope so and i fully support the u.s. . in there. we do believe as a bunch of comments that the economy could sink shown on the show would be absolutely useless. i know some of the european leaders are quick to jump on the sanctions band a wegen when it comes to russia but what about european business leaders. if there is a very united opinion. you have a need on the fact that it is not. a good thing to impose sanctions on the economy could sink trying to get a treaty what do you have in you and you have a political crises. or political crisis should be absolutely sort of by diplomacy
10:09 am
using you know taking into. companies with us you look in the french companies this is something which is unacceptable for us and there is a you know. of thinking in europe and then u.s. business continues and in that i. want to europe and russia have a close economic ties and our strong trade partner so if sanctions are imposed i mean i wouldn't they be harmful for europe. more than american. food. aid would be on for five. of course they're trading with. the u.s. i think fifty percent of the trading. with the you and me to vote five six percent with the u.s. so it will. do us but the us
10:10 am
fairly large investment. in the u.s. companies told me while each. american businessman already thinking about that and taking steps in the direction of stopping the sanctions i mean is there anything like deborah in europe perhaps i mean are these european businessmen likely to follow suit. right though if you look at what the us been doing in there have not imposed into the economy could sanction and we still believe and strongly believe though that the e.u. will not impose economic sanctions and we certainly hope so so for the time being we continue business as usual. and what kind of reaction do you think you will get from russia should sanctions be applied. of course we need to understand the sanction. but the sanctions away are very strong as the third phase of sanctions
10:11 am
supposed to be. called they would be from russia and. china to us in europe and complain yes. and in a context like this which is very complex as we can see i mean what should the business leaders do should they take part actively in what's happening should they speak out or should they step aside in your opinion. that should step in because actually. the political system you. know. looking a bit economy could sanctions so we need to raise over them that they should do it to the again they should use diplomacy to do so do the ukrainian the crises so and actually they are doing it to mean you can see the us both a mess and they know that there's enough of that we've got a few leader they need to send. a few head up. to their
10:12 am
leader to express their will be. doing exactly the same we may. feel the full enough. he's. right and i know today president of the for franco russian chamber of commerce and industry thank you so much for sharing your thoughts of us with us here in our theater national thank you very much thank you. meanwhile u.s. secretary of state john kerry is ratcheting up the pressure on moscow apparently a clock's ticking. 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. so the u.s. secretary of state keeps urging moscow to make more peace efforts that's amid

10:15 am
to a large extent still on these ultra nationalist paramilitary groups for its survival its hold on power in kiev and it has been afraid to challenge them just yesterday we saw a trade union meeting in kiev attacked by an armed right sector mob with complete impunity and we have seen this repeatedly that they act they attack individuals groups buildings churches throughout the country and the government does nothing to rein them in and this holds true on the battlefield as well. coming up dining out whether down and out of chinese billionaire swaps and into new york with promises to help the poor just as the u.s. economy reports a major slump. american swat units have become increasingly militarized deadly and are mostly targeting the country's minorities
10:16 am
that's according to a report by the american civil liberties union which says the police are treating some neighborhoods like war zones elite swat teams are trained to combat high level threats but are now being used for different purposes. the a.c.l.u. probe showed around two thirds of all raids from two thousand and eleven to two thousand and twelve where drug related and target a private property only seven percent of swat operations were aimed at active shooter or hostage or barricades in areas eight hundred raids led to seven civilian deaths and forty six injuries. this nineteen month old baby is the youngest victim of police brutality a stun grenade thrown by swat team into the child's home landed right any of script is now in a coma fighting for his life the family spokesperson told me so now we more about

the tragedy in our evening program in the now. this flash grenade was tossed into a room with four small children the tragedy of course was that him in the play piano. but it was for small children that were living in this space where this explosive device was thrown their reports that there was no way to know that there were young children in this household so that is totally false what this raid and the situation with the family what you're representing say about the 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 get a 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

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 question but if you stop to think about it if you were trapped in a region at war and you were going to escape odds what where would you go into the heart of the aggressors imperialists no you go in the direct opposite direction
10:28 am
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 we republics in ukraine and georgia russia is a safe haven they often say that people 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.
10:29 am
