news live from moscow international with me. thank you for joining us today the united states has signed off on a new sanctions package against russia its harshest to date but america is not being matched in europe which is going ahead with much softer measures. breaking down what the new sanctions amount to. the u.s. is targeting a number of russian banks as well as energy and defense companies that targeted companies will not be able to borrow money from u.s. banks for a period longer than ninety days meaning that they will still be able to receive short term loans but will find it harder to finance medium and long term activity the list includes

a state owned oil company and largest oil producer gas problem bank the financial arm of gas prom the state controlled natural gas producer. another russian natural gas producer and nashik on them bunk which is russia's economic development bank meanwhile russian president said he regretted the integrity path that the u.s. had chosen in relations with russia. as far as sanctions are concerned they usually have a boomerang effect like i've said before and they will eventually lead russian u.s. relations to a dead end damaging them severely i'm also positive that these measures harm america's long term strategic interests again the interests of the people. president obama said the u.s. is tailored the sanctions in a way so as not to hurt u.s. companies washington wanted tougher sanctions it wanted to target entire sections of the russian economy but without europe going along such sanctions would put u.s. companies at a disadvantage because many of the services and acknowledges that u.s.

companies sell european companies haven't sell and europe shows that it's not prepared to cut its multibillion dollar partnership and trade with russia so in the last few weeks you had u.s. businesses calling on the obama administration to consider their potential losses in russia and at the end of the day we see washington had to tame its enthusiasm about sanctions. he's gone a teacher can now russia's foreign ministry has labeled america's latest package as a blackmail saying it hurts all sides involved and moscow has promised to respond although it didn't specify exactly how. now for russia. these sanctions are potentially much more dangerous than previous measures let's find out more now from our to you venture capital host k.t. pilbeam now joining us here on the program created great to see you this morning let's talk about the damage here the sanctions are capable of doing typically it's a two way street what kind of insight can you offer us yes well obviously it's going to harm the russian companies because that is clear to see and that's exactly

why they have been imposed will be able to see as well how much these companies put into the russian government because they do account for a large proportion of the budget as you can see just as it's the financial part of gas from that has been imposed upon to do with these sanctions a good one hundred twenty nine billion combined with as well that's what's paid in taxes as well as this proportion here is what goes into the economy just as it does four hundred fifty billion we're talking a lot of money you are tracking the massive numbers but i suppose who stands to lose because that's what it's all about i mean the sanctions on russia is going to be russia who loses or perhaps international business and i think it will be both of course immediately it will be russia i mean they're not certainly as. bad as what people were fearing and italy but we'll be able to see the reaction on the stock market because it was immediate we did have a decline of around two percent for the russian markets and here we go and you can

see we've got the slump initially but it has managed to demonstrate some resilience it and that's exactly what we saw last time so best as they are a little worried at the moment of politics can carry on doing their politicking but we're seeing a massive reaction on the worldwide internet a very polarized reaction to what or what is going on we've had some rather angry tweets at the moment as well but we can also show you that here we are and it's to do with the kalashnikov we've got the rifles we know that they will not be importing any more into the american economy which a lot of americans it's got activists they really are expressing their views just their discontent. at the moment and we know it's a lot of companies as well that are set to be affected because the financials that will be affected rory it's the banking industry that really the transactions that go between say the u.s. russia asia a unilateral situation yeah i mean it's almost like a highway really where you have eight lanes going across it's not

a simple two way streets no it's all sorts of various roads or you've got some comments we can go home with you indeed we're going to hear from some experts as well on the matter here's what they had to say to us. blast i've heard that the us russian trade change was minuscule and so you can't really hurt something that doesn't really exist what could happen is he. could make relations between the us and the e.u. worse in the sense that the european economy is going to be impacted by any sort of push from the u.s. to antagonize russia the cruel irony of sanctions is that they don't hurt the u.s. government at all the u.s. government just prints money as it needs it what they do hurt our american business those who seek to do business with russia who seek to do business in ukraine it hurts you american private citizens it doesn't hurt the american government at all the sanctions show weakness of the u.s. political position because you don't see any of the u.s. allies in europe following along certainly we've seen the reports out of germany

where there is a major struggle between the political establishment and the business establishment which sees nothing but destruction of the german economy if they were to follow washington's fat. and at the root of the sanctions is the civil war in eastern ukraine less of a solid or an international we need one refugee family that managed to get away they described to us the ordeal they had to suffer to get free of the war. thanks for joining us for the program today for young palestinian boys playing football in a beach in gaza being killed by israeli shells i must warn you the upcoming pictures from the scene disturbing they died right before the eyes of international journalists many of who a station in an area regarded as one of the safest in gaza and israeli ship apparently fired on the beach where the children were playing some other kids who were injured managed to reach shelter at a nearby hotel before boys who didn't make it didn't make it to safety i should say

they were all relatives. these are the grieving family members of the children the woman a moment ago the mother of one of the boys funerals were held in garza just several hours after they died both israel and hamas have agreed to a humanitarian cease fire in response that is now in effect and is due to last around four more trying to give the u.n. time to get aid into gaza a reporter harry fear is in gaza for us he met some of the victims' family members . yesterday afternoon for palestinian children were killed in what's meant to be one of the safest areas of gaza city this took place in broad daylight in the afternoon well i caught up last night with the four families affected these four families all from the extended back family we spoke to they were of course absolutely destroyed by the events it was a devastating exercise to speak to they of course invoked the fact that these were

innocent children simply playing on the beach but of course they were not responsible for any belligerent activities we saw tens or even hundreds of family members congregated in sympathy and solidarity morning with the parents of the of the of the lost children and we caught up with is male. who of course exclaimed that this was an unjust act on the part of the israeli army to go live in i don't know how you know what i did you. know what do you know i know i was just there but also overlooked all of the words that i needed that of the living and the head nor the matter. of the of the course are also national journalists who directly witnessed the incident some of them actually tried to give first aid to the palestinian children who had been injured one of the

injuries was in the boy's abdomen it's not clear why is my. they have struck this target the international john this report but they were having bad lunch at the time many of them in these hotels overlooking the beach marina and the mediterranean coastline they reported the sudden emergence of a light on the on the on the horizon followed by a shelling which targeted a small structure on gaza's marine base was then followed by another shelling tens of meters away absolutely close the video proves that to where the palestinian boys were running away from the site of the first shelling while i spoke last night with the manager of one of the hotels he was an eyewitness to this incident here. to see what happened. and they came to us they was running you know skaven from the bomb and then one of them was all of them was. injured

then i called the ambulance to pick up them because that. was very bad so. but on the scale i hear that one of them. on their way to that was put down while this incident unfortunately is of course not the only case of palestinian children being caught up in this ongoing violence here in this recent bout of violence between israel and hamas this comes obviously in the context today all of this. initiative coming into into effect to allow humanitarian aid to enter the gaza strip and that is being welcomed here by palestinians on the ground we will keep you updated. now earlier we spoke to an israeli defense force spokes person who insists that israel never targets civilians. we do not target on underwear anyway or former civilians we target how must terrorists in the idea for operation is

ongoing in order to restore safety and security for the state of israel hamas decided to have an onslaught against got against the state of israel and indeed even when we held our stations yesterday for six hours they continued to bombard israel. indiscriminately and we were left basically with no alternative. in the meantime there's been an international outcry over the killing of civilians across the americas in europe. tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets to demand an end to the offensive every day a new demonstration appears on them in protest of israel's actions people have been waving flags chanting slogans and holding up posters urging an end to the killing but most of the protests have been peaceful although some have resulted in clashes with police. now a technology downgrade for a german politicians coming up here on international the n.s.a. spy scandal forces them to return to basic forms of writing more details on that

just a bit later in the program here on. people with autism. great contributions. to society as well beginning to see organization schools. this is otherwise. go and hire people with autism. speaks to language. programs and documentaries in arabic in school here. reporting from the world talks about six of his v.o.i.p. interviews intriguing stories for you. in trying.

to find out more visit. the stories we cover here knocking. out our big story i'm sure that there's a reason they don't want you to. point. out now let's break the set. it's r t international thanks for joining us not far from the world update but for now a hefty pile of deals wrapped up the sixth summit of top developing countries of course we're talking about the brics are the most significant was the establishment of a new global bank set up to rival the i.m.f. and world bank is ati's paul scott with the explanation. the brics nations really look to strengthen ties and cool countries across the continent here in latin

america as they look to develop and build what's being described as this new multi-polar world in an attempt to try to wrestle influence global influence away from washington on his tour over the last six days putin has visited cuba nicaragua argentina and then finally here in brazil for the two thousand and fourteen brics summit the highlight of which was the announcement of the new one hundred billion dollar development bank and also the sustainability fund as well worth the same amount of money one hundred billion u.s. dollars is going to be seen as a long time rival to the international monetary fund and the world bank as i say is the brics nations look to try and wrestle some of the global influence away from washington. putin's visit to the region also gave some other latin american nations the chance to sign some lucrative agreements with moscow russia will now help cuba to explore its offshore oil reserves also with both agreeing to work together on

global information security moscow's atomic energy corporation is likely to bolster its presence in argentina this is part of a nuclear cooperation bill and russia has trade and security ties with fellow brics member brazil that should also now see a significant increase as well we've got plenty more waiting for you on our web site right now at r.t. dot com including the removal of radioactive elements from japan's stricken fukushima plant proves even more hazardous than expected nearby rice to be seriously contaminated with the owners of still moving radioactive material from the nuclear stations broken reactors also on line for you. know shore if it's a gate through another dimension perhaps a landing spot for a u.f.o. who knows but speculation runs wild off that giant a hole is discovered in the ground in siberia. how far does it go and to where. the details on it at r.t.

dot com. german politicians are going old school to stop their american allies from spying on what they're up to sensitive documents can now be written on the humble type writer to try and keep them safe here's our tease peter oliver. built a modern buildings of the german parliament could be said to echo with a sound from a very different era if the man in charge of the parliamentary inquiry into n.s.a. spying here in germany gets his way. said that if politicians want to avoid digital snooping then the only choice for them is to ditch the smartphones in the laptops and go back to the typewriter and the fundamental machine enough to thank statens computers having a doesn't need a little machine. and shuts the suggestions that were made on a breakfast t.v. show here in germany haven't gone down well with some of the other committee members one member from the left party said that well before she would go to

a typewriter she thinks that they should get rid of the secret services entirely another member from the social democrats that comments like this would just plain silly and made the whole inquiry look rather stupid suggesting that it was not the right answer to go back to a nineteenth or twentieth century technology in the modern age but what it does show though is that politicians here in germany are starting to appear desperate to try and show that they are doing something about spying scandals that have rocked the country recently and have drawn outrage among german people who've said that their politicians just haven't been doing enough we have seen this start to change the following to spy scandals involving one member of the security service and one member of the for the. defense ministry that may have been spying for the united states we saw the chief of the cia hear him. out of the country that still hasn't happened. comment that was made so the politicians see it trying to show

that they are doing something about the ongoing in escalating spy scandal is that we've seen come out following the leaks of edward snowden. we spoke to former my five intelligence officer i mean marshawn things that are protecting privacy is actually a tough task even for the most powerful people in the world however lightheartedly the german politician mentions using typewriters he's probably when it comes to proper security issues within government he's probably absolutely right we have a situation where even our democratically elected representatives have to think it's deeply and seriously about how to protect the privacy of their communications particularly when they're investigating the very subject of the invasion of the privacy of their systems which is what the just target at the moment doing in germany trying to hold hearings to work out exactly what the n.s.a. has been doing which might be contravening the constitution of germany we have this

. situation now where everything can conceivably be hoovered up by the n.s.a. and it's facile states in the in europe everything can conceivably be stored forever and used against citizens in the future if the rules change and everything can conceivably be no amongst the private deliberations for parliaments not democratically elected representatives so it's. it's worse than orwellian i think is the best way of putting it are still to come here and r.t. international just how big are the pay packets for chief executives of. the lucky ones are running a hundred and eighty times more than the average person that's story is coming up just ahead here on r.t. internet. the meantime there are now more than twenty thousand ukrainian refugees living in tent towns in russia and that number is only expected to rise as more seek safety from the fighting in their homeland the shelling of their towns and villages these are really good visited one such cum located in russia region.

instruction is a duty. leave me square and remind you which a useful social can have when needed it took them five days to get from the ganske to this refugee camp in the russian side of the border a distance normally covered in a car in several hours. to the new york in the middle of the church. much of the evening. a lot of the. traditionalists softball. so it was more to the tradition in the small to do and. when we. need some. time for children. and.

they follow in the footsteps of you give me a sister who fled to russia just several weeks earlier. going to the computer to go still going there if you don't. bring a message to. the end of rid of the mists. is remembered like thousands of other refugees alexander and you've given your stated home in the country more just to close to their doorstep like many others they want to keep their last name unknown to protect the rest of the family left behind. me. that i did today and. they already have a plan to get to another town where alexander can find a job to provide for his family but the same can't be said about many others in this tent city this family story is just one of the estimated thirty or so thousand

of refugees living in the rostov on. region at the moment just days ago these people couldn't have imagined not having a house or a country to call their own right now they're living in tents and have no idea what this issue will bring in southern russia it is. more global headlines now with the afghan army saying that it's killed all the taliban fighters who attacked the main airport in kabul overnight militants occupied a building still under construction and started shooting rockets into the airport all civil flights were canceled as a result the clash came during a tense time in afghanistan of course a recount is underway for the second round of the presidential election. for libya now another hit by fighting this time in tripoli twenty planes destroyed it's traffic control is going on strike grounding many flights in the process and clashes between radical groups seeking control have been common since two thousand

and eleven of course that was when moammar gadhafi was out. and typhoon. battered the philippines killing at least many others and missing the latest numbers suggest three hundred seventy thousand people have been evacuated to temporary shelters i wonder paul from police saying they arrested two men who were actually holding more than ten children of three women hostage in one of the storm shelters. now to the u.k. where food banks are being used by hard up families more than ever before and real wages are falling fast for the average worker disappearing into the financial distances one group of employees who continues to rake in more millions than is artie's. money power a jet set lifestyle the perks of being a chief executive they take more risks and have more responsibility so perhaps they

deserve a bit more pay than the average worker but how about one hundred eighty times their salary yep while the average worker toils to earn just over twenty six thousand pounds a year the footsie one hundred boardroom big wigs a raking in four point seven million says if exist on a different planet and we're saying this is bad for companies and it's also bad for society we have people working on very low wages who have to go to food banks to feed their families i think we should be ashamed of that sort of thing in this country the high pay center found that more than three quarters of the public would support capping the salary of a company's highest earning employee in relation to the lowest paid companies fired back that they need to supersize their executive salaries in order to keep them from being poached by cash waving competitors the department for business innovation and skills told r.t.

that in october twenty thirty new laws reforming the governance of top a came into force boosting transparency by arming shareholders with more information and giving them the power to hold companies to account and it looks like some investors cutting bosses down to size last week british fashion giant burberry had its dirty linen in public to more than half of the shareholders at its annual meeting voted against the chief executives pay package which is worth up to twenty seven million pounds it may have been a rare stand against such high salaries but the vote was non-binding which means that burberry boss christopher baillie still got to his gargantuan paycheck anyway . playboy. and its international comes your life from moscow thanks for joining us today what is it like to work on live international television when next we take

you backstage with us he's used. to u.s. agents who are working deep inside the german government have been caught which has heightened tensions between the two countries even more the german reaction to this was to expel the cia chief in berlin from his post this is the kind of story that makes people who hate u.s. foreign policy the share button on facebook and get all excited it makes me feel that merkel or at least some elements of the german government are actually fighting against foreign meddling but i would say that you should take this story with a huge grain of salt yeah they just had one cia asset out of the country and this could be a sign of change but there are still twenty plus u.s. military bases currently operating in germany in fact the bow holder base is one of

the largest ones outside of america territory with thirteen thousand troops permanently stationed there so basically if merkel really wants to reduce foreign meddling in germany she is going to have to somehow get a massive foreign military presence out of a country and since there's been there for almost seventy years already i don't think that they're just going to pack up and leave on their own one day but that's just my opinion. the legalese.

cross talk rules and if it doesn't you can jump in anytime you want. a little. leg. leg. leg. and a nice today and signs a mantra for laura says you're a pastry problem many many. red square strangers are history saying i want to see a little i'm still. illegal .
