11:05 am
restrict the civilian casualties in very difficult circumstances you this is precisely the reason why we did not want to be in this conflict in the first place we said so repeatedly loud and clear we also did through through quietly through the diplomatic channels quite would be answered with quiet it's a terrible terrible tragedy that's that's unfolding it before our eyes the responsibility for which lies dying at the doorstep of the mice were deliberately locating themselves in civilian neighborhoods in order to draw fire and they have abused the palestinian people and will be judged very badly by by history for that . now the latest gaza conflict is dividing the world in paris two demonstrations took place at the same time one supporting the is really operation the second one siding with the palestinians the french capital is just one of several major european cities that have seen numerous pro israel and pro palestinian rallies since the ask away sion began. now the latest ukrainian

would be removed from the water she says should. nato has confirmed ukraine has been using short range ballistic missiles against self defense forces in the east that's according to a report by the german news channel door to l.a. the same was said two days ago on c.n.n. which referred to its sources in pentagon denies any use of ballistic missiles in the east of ukraine such missiles are able to carry much larger payload or even deliver several warheads deep into anime lines. the ease sanctions to punish russia's financial anarchy and to fancy actors over the events in ukraine have kicked in european lawmakers have made it nearly impossible for the companies on the list to seek funding or shop for technologies in europe p.r. reports the full details of now come out about what the latest round of sanctions
11:08 am
entailed what we're looking at is its targets three main sectors of the russian economy now in terms of the banking sector we've seen sanctions slapped on five of russia's biggest banks including the biggest spur bank which will stop them from being able to sell bonds to european investors with regards to the energy sector what we're going to see is anybody who wants to provide equipment technology towards russia they're going to have to get approval we're looking at things here like the continued exploration for oil in the arctic that could be affected by this and when it comes to defense well there is a ban on imports and exports of arms into russia however that isn't retroactive nor of these are any deals that have gone on in the past any deals that have been agreed they'll all be fine and be allowed to progress but they that's basically the brass tacks of what of what these latest sanctions and tail. european and
11:09 am
u.s. businesses aren't particularly happy with the way politicians are trying to solve the ukrainian crisis the c.e.o. of the world's largest chemical company b.s.f. in germany has doubts about the fish and sea of sanctions and the executive vice president of the u.s. chamber of commerce said entrepreneurs who are concerned of measures could have a boomerang effect let's bring in the president of the association of italian businesses in russia nestor for language. to get things much earnest of for joining us here international to discuss the sanctions while good or bad the sanctions are in and some say this could cost moscow hundreds of billions of dollars so how likely is it. that the visible for and let me say i don't think that they have faith that in fact the section would be a hundredfold be done dollars on that and the russian federation. i think that that
11:10 am
the impact could be made on their home you know the last book or would be on the european union economy that's for sure that they can talk of for example the huge amount of energy which flow from russia to europe one third of economy often argy europe comes from or from where the russian federation it's very important to keep in mind for the future. but i'm slowly but you know just another question of for you here what do you think i mean could the e.u. come up with tougher sanctions should for example western leaders decide the russia hasn't had enough yet. i don't think so i think that three months peter he said that it would meet that look you see from the russian for the future to think about the situation new for i think that you know to finally meet those who would be you know and that you could be careening is itself on the telly but how does that show we cannot truly give to the next generation such kind of situation for everybody. we should. do that through the people much china no busy
11:11 am
show of course. while some european businesses openly oppose the decision to impose sanctions and for instance there's an italian tailor which you may be aware of who insist it will still make suits for those on the blacklist in protest of the sanctions so how representative is this of how firms in europe feel. let me see the sea seriously speaking so the calmness that has been given today by mr for russia doesn't meet the most of course. not in a rush he's a great great country of course that doesn't mean they don't let me go back to the question and from the konami point of view what they think that we have our perception as italian community and by the way european one it's really a witness for kind of very dangerous places so you know the expert from you telling
11:12 am
europe and the turnover between europe and russia is around five hundred be done doors between or busy and you've had this the it's and the russian federation he's ten times less. content themselves to a normal russian federation and the second investor so we have more than fifty years of friendly relations with russia we cannot destroy so hopefully the situation would be sold i tell you that we have hundreds of italian european business community here and we are really worried everybody are worried about the situation we cannot really in one short destroy what we have been creating during the past time from the fifty years to now. if you go if you look at the energy sector for example old investment the down during the last forty years has given great contribution to the development of the european community as i told you before thirty percent the furniture comes from russia that's very important to keep in mind. let's let's look at this vision from another angle leave the situation in
11:13 am
israel and the situation in iraq very unstable situation sorry europe needs russia and russia needs europe this is a unique opportunity for both of us we cannot to lower russia to go in the hands of china we have to cooperate together russia is your that's that's very simple is it our story. well before letting you go i just want to ask you one more question you know some of russia's biggest companies like ross near burbank. who are in sanctions list of course are partly belong to europeans now by sanctioning these companies aren't european shooting themselves in the food. you know during the last twenty years. tremendous changes happening in russia so let me see first of all menu for a order and then are to companies who are working here so they pooled their money here russian federation i mean the guys brahman got
11:14 am
a rough enough to give the opportunity to get major or companies to come here they have the opportunity to sell the products or then got us in the internal market the have the right to export that they or for the contribution of such going venture we give benefit don't only for russia but for the war itself and the europeans so that's a very important katie major what will happen is for the time being it due to the effects of this a sanction will be developing some such projects a huge one for the arctic sea and this creates a dramatic effect on the european union economy because it tries to furniture with greece and as you know there is no profile going to europe that's something that the european union should or should think about. britain after flying the president's obvious as he asian of italian businesses in russia thanks so much for your thoughts. now this latest punitive measures they heaped on russia follow the downing of malaysians. why damage seventeen
11:15 am
a fortnight ago and it's still unclear exactly what caused the plane to crash killing all two hundred ninety eight on board russia was the first to provide some evidence into what may have happened releasing satellite images purporting to show the deployment of ukrainian and aircraft batteries around the crash site but key have claimed the images were fabricated and released their own photos russia's defense ministry now says evidence is fake or explains why. well actually to put it bluntly they're saying that everything that ukraine has presented as evidence is to put it simply is a lie and here is why first of all we're looking at a group of images that show a different time and date why they were presented as evidence by ukraine is completely clear secondly there is a group of images which bears a date that was falsified and that can be proven by detailed analysis of weather conditions on that particular location on that date finally there's a third over the images which according to ministry of defense show that they have
11:16 am
been doctored or altered to digitally obviously played with by the ukrainian side on top of that ukrainians have alleged that they have images which supposedly show the movement of russia's military machinery across the border now minister of defense says that the quality of images does not really allowed to make that statement first of all they do not have a date stamp or it is impossible to say where and when those images were taken because they do not have the geographical coordinates on them none of the images show a road that crosses the border and therefore is views of substantiated claims that the traps were made by russian military simply did not hold up to scrutiny on top of that the image quality is really poor and therefore it is impossible to say whether those tire tracks are indeed from a military vehicle and not for example from something else and of course it is even less impossible to say that those vehicles actually do belong to russia there by the ministry of defense says that all of it is that was presented by ukraine simply
11:17 am
does not bear up to scrutiny. coming out of the fears of supplying iraq's beleaguered army with have you weapons that's after the break here on our tutor national. there's a media lead us so we need to be. potions to cure the play your part of the physical . questions that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . clean more zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of war mongering politicians. capturing people is this what do you do if they're in the city

swathes of land in the northwest of the country and declared an islamic caliphate on the occupied territories they control oil rich regions and they are well trained troops but was a significant threat to the iraqi army and says he explains the dangers of america's exports. a record size shipment of hellfire missiles to the iraqi government from the us is in the works the u.s. state department is reported to have approved and the pentagon is in the process of preparing to send over five thousand a.g.m. one fourteen type and our missiles and related parts to iraq the cost of this deal is estimated at a whopping seven hundred million dollars american aerospace giant lockheed martin is the prime contractor for the production and supply of these hellfire missiles this comes as the iraqi government continues the fight against isis the islamist militant al-qaeda affiliated group who have been raging in the west and north of the country the world military is reported to have used up about three hundred
11:20 am
hellfire missiles this june and a previous delivery of an additional eight hundred missiles had already been approved to be sent over so this latest large planned shipment is in addition to the missiles that had already been sent over by the u.s. according to a pentagon press release on this issue the missile directly supports the government of iraq and serves the interests of the people of iraq and the united states it also says that iraq will use the hellfire missile to help improve iraq's security forces capability to support current ongoing ground operations we now human rights groups have been critical of the use of missiles since they have reportedly been fired at residential neighborhoods and cities where isis has been present specifically human rights watch has called on the u.s. to not send weapons to iraq until baghdad acts in accordance with international law and r.t.e. . however the american initiative to supply iraq with such powerful weapons may bring about even more problems in the past the militants have already maneuvered the army seizing dozens of u.s. supplied i would serve in the old adage four thousand machine guns two zero arsenal
11:21 am
plus fifteen hundred humvees that the iraqi army band and so it's a real spirit and the hellfire missiles could end up in the hands of the extremists to anti-war activists brian backer sayings that arms dealers are the ones who will benefit most from the shipment. it's five thousand missiles these are important unishe and they could be have a devastating impact on the battlefield it's good for us arms manufacturers and puts the us back in a position of perhaps a strategic significance in competition with iran with the central government in iraq will it change the equation on the battlefield we don't know that if we step back and look at what's really happened since two thousand and three the united states because of its military intervention in iraq fractured the country and fractured it along ethno sectarian lines of finance shiite militias that financed sunni militias that financed the kurds the u.s. as a matter of policy for three years has funneled arms and weapons to arm the same so-called

islamic extremists in syria and have now brack should serious the u.s. is trying to get back into iraq to have a decisive impact but it's a divide and rule in strategy that we've seen unfold in both syria and in iraq that we had to get a filipino construction worker and the gang rape of a nurse has led the philippines to urgently evacuated thirteen thousand of its citizens from libya governments worldwide are telling people to leave the region which was plunged into chaos after the twenty eleven revolution now on thursday militias declared we need your second largest city was an islamic emirate and that's after they forced the army out of the area in have a fighting using rockets in the capital tripoli at least three hundred people have been killed in the past couple of weeks that's led some nations to shut the or embassies in the country but little alice to subcontract down explains what happened to a once thriving state. ground was laid for the situation by nato and its allied
11:23 am
forces on the ground throughout twenty twenty eleven and former lead off maybe a moment gadhafi made it very clear during the twenty eleven that if you want to turn libya into a country with bullets in this and no no central governance like somalia off going to start etc the nato and its allies are doing the right thing since october twenty levin when the foreman job maria there is no national government there is no national army or national police force it's plain for all to see that the nato project failed but that's to assume that nato attended to bring any type of stability to libya they have been made to put you in this mess i'm going to remain putting you in this mess and such is the moonless nights in the view that libyan oil production is not even thought of what it was in the foreseeable future it looks highly unlikely they'll be any stability let alone democracy in libya. britain is moving to investigative cold case after eight years it's hoping to shed light on the death of

according to reports is currently raking in some one million dollars a month for his cyber security consulting services this has raised ethical questions and concerns that the former spy chief may be selling high level security secrets and classified information for a lucrative paycheck misusing classified information for profit is a federal felony critics say the only thing alexander has to offer potential clients is this state secrets he knows investigative journalists jason leopold is now suing the spy agency for the release of alexander's documents arguing they're being withheld unlawfully experts say alexander's financial disclosures can only be suppressed by the u.s. president this is just the latest in a string of lawsuits filed against the n.s.a. since former contractor edward snowden revealed the agency's global surveillance programs and while washington is still struggling to regain trust with americans and allies around the world the man who spearheaded the indiscriminate spy programs

survivors from wednesday's landslide that engulfed an entire village in western india are slim sixty three bodies have been discovered so far and dozens remain missing bad weather is hampering emergency crews efforts and eight people were pulled out alive in the first few hours but no survivors have been found since. and after the break here on r.t. international travel back to learn about one of the first world wars bloodiest battles. sometimes i am baffled by the closed little world that a lot of people in the mainstream media must live in they seem shocked and appalled at the fact that around forty percent of the weapons supplied to afghanistan have gone missing let's ignore the fact that while americans are going broke the u.s.
11:28 am
must rebuild the afghan military and think for just a second what would happen if you sent a lot of weapons into a country in dire economic suffering i'm sure you've heard reports that say that afghan farmers could only make a living off of poppy crops because they just have no other resort so if you throw a bunch of guns and ammo into the hands of people who have the career choices of poppies or starvation yeah that someone might be willing to sell some bullets to get by also we shouldn't forget that every government on earth has people in it working for their own self interests or others interests it is totally naive to think that every person involved in the process of transferring weapons will be loyal to the afghan government which seems have been put in place by a certain hyper power who remain nameless in short if you find this story shocking then you really need to get off the couch and see how the world really works but that's just my opinion. what's hidden in fish farms waters do you have
