what if. like. tonight the reality in iraq where hundreds of civilians have been slaughtered this month as to how this radicals rather the country leaving carnage and destruction and their wake. while the militant front line isis is commandeering the youngest of the most vulnerable and also feeding internet users with a dose of jihad this propaganda. headlining to snipe big business bites but u.s. firms try to talk washington out of burdening russia with more sanctions fearing their own profits could take a hit as a result of. life

from martin hughes h.q. in moscow is kevin i am with you this very good company nine pm here now our top story iraq's prime minister says he supports syria's army air strikes against isis militants it's despite the u.s. warning other nations to stay out of the conflict the insurgents have already seized several air bases oil and gas fields conducting indiscriminate bombings along the way the jihadist bloody advance has already left more than a thousand people dead mainly civilians according to the u.n. the most recent casualties reported of fifteen killed in attacks on baghdad and six others in the contested city of kirkuk where you see catherine off reports the details so far barkeep but what we've heard from officials is that one man a suicide bomber was seen on the street wearing an explosive device that he was actually a real for the building down there it's a kurdish political party office apparently authorities tell c.n.n. they tried to interest. up him and that is when he detonated his device now if you

look around the chaos this is 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 for a link if only. we're not exactly sure what's happening there some kind of emotion right now you can see there's kurdish authorities here trying to keep calm very hotly contested city that there are kurds arabs the 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 to claim this as their historic and cultural capital. oh look. it's really not safe to be here the authorities have been shooting their weapons into the air we're not sure what's going on but we're going to get out of here before any other attention. 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 was a very very calm city that there haven't been problems with the a taps that security was actually getting better and one of the things that is very clear here from what we've seen today that that's far from the case you see captain of your quick. well isis fighters not just equipped with guns they're also armed with hash

tags to these days the use of social media is already making headlines the very media savvy to it is becoming their main propaganda tool they've created an android out called the dawn which allows users to find all about their sadistic plans in advance right on their own twitter timeline also to the brochures selling the perks of living under ultra conservative and repressive sharia law and it doesn't stop there there's also an isis gift shop selling cheap t. shirts and hoodies branded with a jihadist emblem and there's also disturbing evidence too as to who is being forced to join the militants ranks in this video boy he's armed with automatic rifles are seeing traveling and i says convoy human rights groups click claim that in the past the fighters have had no qualms at all about coercing children maybe just fourteen to fight or face execution. baghdad's officially are seen by the state to conduct airstrikes in iraq but isis supporters of threatened to avenge any such raid with attacks on americans you get the latest details on this big

developing story as well as live updates on the ongoing crisis in iraq on t.v. dot com. sanctions are bad for business in the eyes of industry chiefs in the united states so they've launched an ad campaign to teach the government and public an economic lesson about the ramifications of restrictions on russia here's our correspondent report with more on what their messages. the u.s. chamber of commerce and the national association of manufacturers are running news a newspaper advertisements right now in the new york times the wall street journal and the washington post right here you could see the advertisement they are asserting that the only effect of additional sanctions would be to bar u.s. companies from foreign markets in seed business opportunities to firms from other countries that in the as they say that we are concerned about actions that would harm american manufacturers and cost american jobs history shows that unilateral

sanctions don't work it's time to put american jobs and growth first now while u.s. business leaders are sounding the alarm meanwhile dow jones is profiting off of the problem it has an advertisement online offering advice of course for a fee to any u.s. companies that are facing any risks are losing any profit so here you see at least one entity trying to make money steer money towards its pocket as these sanctions are potentially piling up 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 us energy companies that do business in russia and this is precisely what moscow warned of back in march when foreign minister sergei lavrov said any sanctions imposed on russia would be against the united states on 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 says the u.s. can't proceed with business as usual the obama administration is threatening to impose more sanctions on russia unless it takes more steps to deescalate the crisis in ukraine now at the request of president vladimir putin russian lawmakers already voted tuesday to revoke legislation allowing the use of military force in ukraine however washington and washington. still blaming rask out for any tension that still remains in ukraine is clearly expecting and demanding more action but as the white house is making demands on an on last hour you see the u.s. business leaders are making demands on the white house saying don't don't penalize russia it is hurting us it is better for american jobs it is going to hurt the american economy there's a lot of logic behind it american companies risk losing a large number of imports from russia these are the top three things that buy but

now the possibility of being cut off from russia's markets is really worrying america's business leaders u.s. energy john exxon mobil for instance has a nine hundred billion dollars deal with russia is not. in the balance over this and six hundred million already invested it's not just that j.p. morgan must also be holding its breath as the u.s. threatens to target the financial sector it's a fifty six million dollars in investment banking fees in russia just last year another one technology for intel is also a keen investor it spends around a billion dollars in russia over the last twenty years is a lot at stake here with an excessive sanctions could target russia's energy sector we think a much could also be a big blow to u.s. and european energy giants who've got a lot of interests already registered here in russia some bosses were spotted at the latest petroleum congress in moscow is the c.e.o. of exxon mobil rex tillerson also bob dudley there the head of britain's b.p. was also present as was the boss of norwegian oil giant starts oil money though

said they wanted to keep politics away from business but it was really different to work through the relationship is developing. according to the conference. the president of the franco-prussian chamber of commerce and industry finds it positive though the business is at least taking matters into its own hands on both sides of the atlantic now. it should have been because actually. the political system is such that no. leader talking about economy could think so we need to raise over and tell them that they should not do it again they should use diplomacy to do so the ukrainian places actually what do you have in you and you have a political crises. or political crises should be absolutely soul of by. taking into. companies whether they are us. french companies this is something which isn't acceptable for us of course there is more trading with europe

than with the us i think you're fifty percent of the trading of wash with the u. but it would be on for five. so all big business want to get it in the u.s. secretary of state john kerry mean times continue to ratchet up the pressure on moscow a part of the clock's ticking to. 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 on urging moscow to take more and make more peace efforts while the same time reports from the east say kiev hasn't stopped to challenge despite the president's announcement of a cease fire we've heard from people in the areas hit hardest by kiev scrag there who say it never came into force anyway. thinking we're still being slapped every

day i'm not even saying hit the just slots like this bridge because dr one of the shells came down right in my backyard and they were splinters that wounded my wife she's in hospital in critical condition. well this is the kind of thing we find here. those are from shell splinter what else can they be. more of the aftermath of the funeral for one of the russian journalists killed by shelling in ukraine was held here in moscow the crew he was with got caught up in shelling while they were covering the evacuation of civilians by self-defense fighters from particularly dangerous area friends family and colleagues gathered in central moscow to say their final farewells to twenty six year old shin he died instantly in the attack his body torn to pieces by a mortar shell or reported hugo corner look died in hospital thirty minutes later both journalists clearly had press markings on their clothes.

and this indeed is the last video filmed by the souls that attacked the cameraman he managed to capture the blast that killed both of his colleagues russian prosecutors say the leader of one of the national guard squads was involved in the shelling the national guards of mercenary combat divisions specifically formed to assist the army in the military operation against a fire in eastern regions but the squads largely operate on their own accord says senior lecturer in international relations at moscow state university mark slip border the government such as it is in kiev has very limited control it depends to a large extent still on these nationalist paramilitary groups for its survival it's called on power in kiev and it has been afraid to challenge them 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. well these pictures off from that instance of the central kiev hotel where several hundred people stormed the trade unions meeting the attackers dressed to come and clashed with police and smash windows into the group's leader post on facebook at the rally to stop the election of a new chief of. coming up here on out international darting out with a down and out a chinese business works into new york with promises to help the poll just as the u.s. economy reports a major slump although it dished up disappointment so we'll tell you why. also the break as well the splits the low plus the old nazi symbol to boot we look at how today's extremists in germany are trying to promote hate.

does the media leave us are we lead to be. part of the same motions to cure the other party visible. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politic only of our. place. basic needs of economic ups and downs in the final months day the london new york sang i and the rest look like it's going meet case it will be everything we can all claim.

well again call past nine pm here in moscow now skinny jeans beads tote bags and now see slogans as well meet the latest recruits of the extreme right in germany the media's even come up with a word to describe the movement. i mean some of the selfies on instagram a blog on tumblr to me are nazi hip hop the extreme right keeping up with the times

there's even a vegan nazi cookery show two in each episode two chatty men wearing balaclavas of course explain to viewers how to make it a re-edition journalist john rice spoke from berlin shared his thoughts on the latest nips to train. so what's important to remember is that they're not a hipster as they want to appear in just out on the street corner they're appearing at a nazi demonstration in january twenty first and mark to work it was an attempt by the nazis to throw a march and there was a group trendy they had colorful sunglasses on they had these funny looking congress shoes with stars and piercings kind of fuzzy beards like there are so many jokes about the nazi you wonder they had a bag. please don't shove i've got a yogurt in my bag as long as no answers have been around the always been trying to copy youth subcultures you know skinheads were originally kind of a proletarian youth culture you have in germany. has been.

a way to start things going well like any other night. when i was quite hundred people or more out on the streets blockading in the ninety's actively sitting down preventing them from going on and the route. just like all the other now too. for fashionistas maybe it's just accessories but they also say quote what your quote we are says secretary of unite against fascism what he thinks should be done about it the real danger is at the moment sadly the high votes of lots of organizations and for the first time since the war nazi organization has been elected to the european parliament what they've been able to do is tap into the discontent across europe about unemployment. and there's a large number of youth a lot of people being displaced and that sense of displacement as what happened in the nineteenth thirties has been seized on by the nazis by using modern techniques of communication to try and make their ideas more palatable and this means that the

hipsters and the people trying to shape fashion are trying to make it sceptical that sceptical the nuts of reason why i believe that they should be blocked they should be excluded and they should be no part of our society because what they want to reintroduce is the holocaust and i think we should stand because there's nothing . there a fresh fears of a credit crunch in the united states after the government revealed the country's secada be strong by three percent in the first quarter of the year it's the worst rating in fact since the crisis of two thousand and nine which led to this massive bankruptcies of redundancies so it's in this climate that some of america's six hundred thousand homeless people are found an unexpected benefit that we're going to report on next a chinese billionaire who's given them gold may be donated to charity although it left a sour taste. churkin a found. maturity event sending the media into a frenzy as if the king of pop himself had come back to life because.

of the new york learn more at the central park boathouse store and by t.v. crew is just he's back up. already. all this to witness chinese billionaire chen one known for his outlandish behavior holding a one million dollar lunch for the city's homeless if you say their group has entertainment chinese songs and volunteers and communist worker outfits and magic tricks by the self described most influential person of china as you can see nothing anywhere at all in display for the name of the good minute all the person i knew all the help i get a full page ad in the new york times this week to ramp up attention to this event has clearly served its purpose a lot of homes who didn't come because of the fact that they don't want to see them you don't want me in promotional ads broadcast on stage chan is touted as the most beloved chinese role model among almost

a dozen other titles the ads have advertised one thousand people giving away three hundred dollars to each person i think anybody would show up in central park for three hundred dollars in this day and age about two hundred homeless people were brought to the event on buses paid for by the magnate is saying that it takes. a foreigner you know to come and do this but at the same time hey somebody's got to do it we chant talked of weeks of sleepless nights to prepare for what he dubbed the love and gratitude charity to work around there so many people who are in need of help the goal to show that rich chinese people don't just throw away money on luxury the extravagant charity event is set to become a tradition with the eccentric chinese millionaire promising to return to the west every year to do what he can to help those in need to help those in need and make a name for himself in the city the promise of three hundred dollars per person was fulfilled for a lucky few in front of cameras instead of giving them three hundred dollars each he's donating ninety thousand dollars to the new york city rescue mission

a 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 and would like this walgreens. so to go. see these words this word was not kept the mission got the cash but it never reached the pockets of the homeless oh my god i tell you so now you. instead you're going to me. oh dear well you know the best laid plans talking of which on our website r t dot com we've got the story of the spanish town was furious with its mayor only wanted to give him a fiesta of the day apparently but ended up to this place. that's what you call a bad day found out how externally turned this into a blazing inferno thankfully got away with it online also that how's this for a line in smartphones for fans of bling and. gold plated the telling design mobile

with the president's image engraved on the back. it's at r.t. dot com if you want to read more about this. german borderlands are seeing a rise in crime a police suspect is largely the work of gangs from eastern and southeastern europe so now to protect their property from burglars locals are turning to the very building blocks of life itself as peter all of a explains. 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. it's been rising for sixteen years since reunification we see more and more burglaries and it can take just three to four minutes to break in and be off the a valuable close the european integration makes borders open with many locals here

claiming its contribution to the rice crying you. 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. last year alone. and 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 born into this is synthetic d.n.a. every tube is as unique as you fingerprint spirit any available dress completely clear but all short 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 ways of tracing your 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 there are two clear advantages to this it makes it harder first to sell stolen property the second it helps the us to actually catch thieves if an officer suspects something might be stolen they can shine a u.v. torch or a recall and if it goes the d.n.a. code just needs to be checked against the database any homes that are tagged 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 long arm of the law is backed up by technology

that makes it impossible for them to get away without a trace peter all of a r.t. germany things are come on a bit of maya from a scratch in your postcode on your bike in years gone by right programs coming up thirty minutes time will be in the now that missive for final time this series tonight. look at who's selling propaganda politics mchugh puppies and also the relatives of prisoners being told to pay a ransom by sadistic jail guards it's months of must watch it's. a vast sort of the break great of a coming up for you. 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 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 in 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 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.

thank. you. poland welcome to worlds apart ukraine is set to sign an economic association agreement with europe on friday and on to taking that's already cost the country billions of dollars in trade with russia part of its territory and hundreds of lives how much more will keep sacrificed for its european dream and what does that dream amount to well to discuss that i'm now joined by spain's former foreign minister and

a former member of the european parliament and a miss placer it's great to have you on the show my very great pleasure now in one if you were public speeches earlier this year i heard you say that the young people who died on my dime and we still don't know who authorized the killing but he said that those people who died on my done died for the european values for the blue flag with the twelve stars what others values and how will the economic agreement which is primarily about tariffs quotas trade rules how will that economic agreement how advancing those values in ukraine well first of all let me just make a comment on your introductory presentation. an agreement that is an economic agreement can never be. taken hostage or response be taken as responsible for what a cup and in my done so this is sort of my done is about governance.

the values of the people in my done just wanted to make theirs is the values that they they identify with the european you each of our lives of government and this is something i cood myself see when i was in ukraine well misfires i also visited ukraine a number of times i'm actually a half ukrainian myself but there are values and then there are costs and it's no secret that the russian and ukrainian economy is a very deeply integrated and it's already been asked to make that the bill also russia as a primary market for ukrainian goods as well as the loss of russia as the prime. costumer for its industries may cost ukraine somewhere around thirty billion dollars and this is a very very high amount for any country let alone for ukraine which is essentially a bankruptcy so i wonder if you can really preach those values you know good governance democracy what have you to someone on an empty stomach world first of all.
