the shale gas extraction and the companies that are involved with those kind of activities would be the energy companies i am talking about the likes of b.p. exxon any tell you tell now be paid would probably be the company that is most exposed to russia not because it has about twenty percent stake in a rust after we know the c.e.o. of the companies already on that side in this. so for more details on all of this we do know that president barack obama he did say he wants these sanctions to bite when are going to find out if they would do that and the question is how hard of course we must understand that these sanctions. will be very serious not only for some companies also for european companies and of course for american companies and we can say that maybe for example at the projects they're more interested in for foreign companies like exxon mobil it's also important for russia we can stop the exploration of the arctic and can return to this question

forty fifty years later it's still the question of today's situation there is no necessity. for action more bill is much more important so that is why in my opinion then when we have this sanctions will be russian companies but of course well before the companies. ok now times the corporate news is see what's been moving and shaking the us markets this week other than sanctions of course we're going to start with when does when to use my mother's name actually so i do like this company now it is america's third largest hamburger restaurant chain and it will close eight restaurants and leave within three years the company and to devise a market in twenty seven compounds one hundred eighty restaurants over a ten year period but there's no new ownership of the plans have changed with it tracings has hit gas from with a negative outlook its long term foreign and local currency issue with default raising it triple bay they didn't see said the ratings were flat cost the gas pump will remain a vital gas supplier to europe. spike competitive i'm playschool presses announced

sales to russia have pulled in something the first time the french call make over as you say controls russia's not just come a captive and said deliveries to russia had for him by eight percent year on year in the first six months of this year and now we're going to get over to the mothership and see how tim cabbies got on because we've always spoken about rough nafta in the program but you happen to land on ross nafta yourself and invested in the company i want to hug on this week because it's been a bit similar to us house and i am hi katie last week we got russian enough and you know from the news about them recently you think things would be really bad i read that about over a week ago one of their oil refineries in the disputed territories in ukraine was very damaged if not destroyed also rust if it's on the bad side of u.s. sanctions you'd think that those two factors would make their value plummet but no i mean two hundred thirty dollars so this game makes no sense i don't understand how you can have such

a terrible week and yet make money but who knows and we've got baltic breweries located in st petersburg that makes some of the most popular beer in russia and cross if you remember from a few weeks ago we had some cross on the show so we'll invest everything in both occur and see if everything comes up fizzy say well done i'll see you later on back in the season. and thank you but what saying now this is mission impossible for. i'm going to go see if i can find some crazy one not to myself and i still think that's a tough one because i think think. death row inmate joseph would rise. in pain during

a two hour execution this prolonged suffering was not part of the plan and not constitutional but an accident and not quite a unique wanted that just this year in both oklahoma and my native ohio there have been botched executions due to complications with lethal injection one judge alex kozinski who voted to give would a stay of execution due to the questionable nature of lethal injection drugs said that the good old firing squad would be a lot more humane and his opinion eight or ten large caliber bullets fired at close range and a massive damage causing instant death every time i think lethal injection is popular not for the executed but for society as judge kozinski said shooting someone in the head with a machine gun is instant death so why don't they use the firing squad because that would be messy and raise questions quietly injecting people way from prying public eyes allows the dirty deed to be done without the hassle of ugly news footage i think that it says something odd about society that we must kill the wicked and murderous but could you do it in

a bloodless way completely out of sight i don't want to lose my appetite but that's just my opinion.

welcome back to watching our to international militias in eastern ukraine say the fighting in the area surrounding the malaysian plane crash site is raging on well there are reports clashes in the towns of shock tourists and tourists earlier this week are international teams managed to get to the scene of the mh seventy interactively but only after having been prevented numerous times before due to the surrounding warfare on saturday the experts with. bird artillery fire nearby ukraine's president had initially ordered the forty kilometer radius no combat zone around the crash site but has now reduced this to twenty kilometers and these are the latest pictures we're getting from the outskirts of the regional capital the nearest the main hub of and i.q. of resistance as you can see the residential areas are getting caught out in the

violence as ukrainian forces close in on and say government strongholds we're also getting reports from guns another target of military operation that is where the civilians were killed there this is in the past twenty four hours. and some disturbing images emerged from the city earlier this week care home for the elderly was shelled there five residents were killed both sides are blaming each other for the deaths and this is only one of many examples of populated areas being attacked president petro poroshenko has had vowed that civilians would not be targeted. ukrainian military forces the national guard and other units will never allow themselves to do harm to civilians ukrainian soldiers will risk their own lives but won't threaten women children and elderly men this is the eternal she will risk nature of the ukrainian army. a u.n. report released this week has

a raise the alarm over the growing number of civilians being killed by shelling in eastern ukraine it says not enough is being done to protect them locals are devastated by the ongoing fighting i mean even when you said leave you or he's out of obscene you go when you get there you can morning you. need you have to you go who took the commotion. but we also talked with. the. world. series praised truck jumpstart do you know why he does not have more i want you didn't go when your children adore. the early years i know you don't read is us gore. means you are you know that i will start school. this is. the.

is that what he's really going to do. with the. first. meeting as it was a move to those who want to literally. a group of ukrainian soldiers have laid down their arms at a border crossing with russia the one where o.s.u. observers witnessed shells land from ukraine and they reportedly asked for asylum in russia iranian troops have refused to take part in keeps military operation before just over a week ago forty one soldiers abandoned zero posts in ukraine and appealed to two local media to help them across the border into russia they said they refused to fight their own people. but when. an american journalist working for artie's ruptly the new agency in western ukraine has been kicked out of the country in

a premium on a was filming a rally of local activist when security forces detained her and questioned her for several hours having both russian and american citizenship she says she was forced out because of her russian passport here's how alina described the incident to r.t. . journalist with a camera you know just that was abruptly sticker on my tripod and straightaway said you know russia today first of all they questioned me themselves about seven of them i gave them all the details that could give them i gave them my trust are that have nothing to hide and they're my colleagues. i have i wanted to give them all the information they needed and you know fifteen minutes later three policemen came and three officials came from national security service in ukraine and they were asking me so many questions taking all my details. and then when they didn't they didn't believe that my american passport was rio showed them a picture of it so they followed me to the hotel until they could see the actual

passport they asked me that i absolutely had to give my footage away and they have to raise it. first of all they put it on their computers so someone out of the officials has it right now they have all the footage that it took of myself being questioned and also at the protest. and they gave it back to me was blank manny a russian crews have been deported and banned from ukraine but this is the first time a u.s. citizen has been kicked out in previous cases journalists were expelled as soon as officials learned they were from russia and the last month u.k. reporter graham phillips who was working in eastern ukraine for a tea was arrested and them booted out of the country. because. as the ukrainian crisis unfolds the mainstream media across the atlantic seem to be focusing on just one person the russian president got into town takes

a look at where the american media is real interest why. president obama said he does not believe this growing tension with russia could be the beginning of a new cold war no. no new cold war one could only wish during this thought the same or at least those who are making covers of magazines because some of them hark back to cold war as if they were made back in the day no matter how complicated an issue you can be almost certain that the media are going to boil it down to personalities well with ukraine it's one personality the russian president what does he do when he's working all for an outdoor adventure and why don't we see him smiling very much he's not really driven by. we're distracted by alcohol he's very tough he's a very arrogant. person to deal with. and what kind of

diplomacy can you expect moving forward when diplomats use this kind of language this is the you came back to the united states speaking give me three adjectives you'd use to describe a lot of your proof. i'm not a poet but. i seem to. be. dishonest afraid comes to mind because we've had all these lies. but i think that's a reckless to makes one wonder if they really want to solve the problem or if they're good with the current state of affairs the media focus on the russian president has had its effect on twitter where users came up with the hash tag bling putin and now many use it to comment on pretty much anything it didn't rain in my country today i blame poison for it or a mosquito just bit me blame putin and then to the report that former georgian president saakashvili doesn't want to go back to his country to stand trial and says he blames sports in this use it goes if you are in trouble just playing. it

washington i'm going to show our team. well western nations are finger pointing at russia where grain saw them further tighten the screws this week with the toughest sanctions since the cold war america's latest measures stop some of russia's banking heavyweights from operating in the united states now on the list russia's second the largest bank d.t.b. which also operates in europe asia and africa as well as its subsidiary bank of moscow now russia's agricultural bank which funds the farming sector has also been target and the united. nation which is the country's largest holding falls under the punitive measure to bite the u.s. senate isn't unanimous in its support for sanctions or are for the sort you fell there was a tremendous potential to making russia our friend have tremendous potential they withdraw their troops from eastern europe. the russians. were open to all kinds

of interacting and being coming part of the world community and. a tremendous opportunity i should say was squandered brussels has also barred some of russia's banks from trading in european markets it puts the country's biggest and oldest bank in the firing line now the energy sector is also targets western know how and equipment for offshore fuel exploration is under embargo for russian companies and arms sales are also restricted in two thousand and thirteen russia's global weapons experts market was worth about fifteen billion dollars. analysts tell us that's the measures are a two way street ad the european businesses should prepare for cuts as well as some as in germany suggest it could lose six billion euros in exports to russia this year alone as moscow's number one e.u.

trading partner earliness plenty at stake the annual turnover between the two comes to some seventy six billion euros six thousand german companies operate in russia and that could have a far reaching effect manny people's jobs economist michael ross believes europeans will have to pay the price for this political gamble when you talk to the people on the street when you talk to people who have one of business. executives in a big company not for this for this sentence i can tell this to you because sanctions never a one way street you have always action to ascension and when it comes to this imposed sanctions all the sanctions and will be imposed on russia then of course the germans are the ones who are suffering most it's easy for united states to shop for sanctions but the ones who are suffering of the germans all those countries who are close to russia because they naturally have the biggest business implications.

and on our website we've got more analysis and perspective on what repercussions the french sanctions have for the global economy that's on our. well coming up for you in the program we have a story of modern day slavery while preparing for the world's most watched sporting event. minored workers in qatar the host of the twenty twenty two world cup still stop without pay and working in humane deadly conditions we have the details for you in just a couple of minutes don't go away. you surely know where you're.

told from a language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports and let. them know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point completely. mr kerry a car is on the docket no gonna. take no more weasel words. when you made a direct question be prepared for a change when you punch be ready for a. printout of speech and a little down to freedom to pass. the u.s. military was built to square off against the soviet union. over western europe and when you take that conventional military and now try to retest it as a counter-insurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff.

welcome back you're watching aren't here national britain has opened a public inquiry into one of the most talked about death of the decade the murder of a former russian security officer all these analysts any unco he died eighteen years ago after drinking tea poisoned with radioactive polonium in a london hotel parties right across a row looks into the case sick and lying on his deathbed this is how the world got to know alexander litvinenko a former f.s.b. officer who fled russia and made london his new home it was his accusations against the russian government which propelled his not serai stories of senior officials in moscow supposedly ordering assassinations and carrying out terrorist attacks and the world ate it up because xander litvinenko was presented as a famous this of and as somebody who was upsetting the kremlin who was revealing some sort of secrets that were upsetting president putin himself this was not the

case of toll it's been nearly eight years since alexander litvinenko death yet his family are nowhere near the truth and very pleased to see this decision public and away and and know it's in there as a long time to wait and it's not is it months and maybe nic here but frankly if it were to see if this but why has it been such a long road to this truth let's take a look at what's been achieved so far british prosecutors accuse the two men co's former colleagues of murder and him durance he both deny and involvements russia refuses to extradite any of its own citizens because the constitution doesn't allow it's the british inquest is delayed as the coroner of the sides of public inquiry will be better ministers rule out that option the high court supports the idea of an inquiry so a public inquiry is announced the main twists. so this case came after revelations

litvinenko was allegedly working for m i six as well as for the spanish security services and this is precisely the kind of data which will now be scrutinized as a public inquiry they also allow secret sensitive government material to be examined i do this not it against. russia. he's just if this is put to i would like to shoot people you able to get justice in that any difficult situation. a truth which could turn out to be uncomfortable to swallow for some marina costs artsy now r.t. spoke to him and his brother in an exclusive interview and he has his own theory about what happened. so far we haven't seen one official piece of evidence that would prove the cause of alexander's death it's been eight years and all we've had at interviews and newspaper articles as far as i know alexander was trainee agents for amite six in that time he found out

a lot about the life of russian dissidents in the u.k. he did know in english and after he lost his job he wanted to start a business in russia of course his previous employers didn't like the idea of him going back so i suppose the western security services decided to get rid of him. and another case that really emerged this week here european courts have ordered russia to pay more than fifty billion dollars in damages to the former chair holders you cos the defunct russian oil giant was owned by mail order kosky who was arrested for tax evasion in two thousand and three the firm was then sold off and went bankrupt all of which was legal according to moscow by the new court decision to hew cos was in fact illegally seized by the kremlin why now it's told us this is just another move in a wider political game. it strikes me as a very political decision the west manages to create this illusion of fair play of

rule of law of fairness in the judicial process and this is a bad joke mr holder coasts and his crew is have been found guilty not only in russian courts but that guilty sentence for tax evasion and fraud was upheld by the european court of human rights it is outrageous that anyone should imagine that russia is going to pay fifty billion dollars to these criminals. unphased voce being a kid of sharing a bit too much in this case an austrian student's privacy and he wants the social networks one point thirty two billion users around the world to join him in his legal battle we tell you about that online. also the law versus the laura to read how u.s. tourist found himself in detention in north korea for leaving his bible in about. the time aren't current workers in the qatar i've been building the luxury offices

for the organizers of the twenty twenty two world cup haven't been paid for a year some are stranded in the gulf state without paperwork after their employer went bust britain's guardian newspaper has been investigating how foreign workers are enduring conditions described as and humane and as modern day slavery the newspaper discovered how they were living in unsanitary conditions with power cuts and up to ten man a living in tiny rooms while the working six to seven days a week for ten hours in scorching heat many have reportedly died of heat stroke and cardiac arrest investigation also discovered how their id papers are illegally taken from them and no medical care is provided salaries were apparently paid for the first few months but then the money stopped sharing borrow from the international trade union confederation believes other governments have chosen to

turn a blind eye to the situation. taht is a slave state it some more than state. by one person so it will contract you signed before you leave your home country but when you get to get. can often simply tear it up or not pay your wages or treat you in any prissy way that like. wood as opposed to spirit full well it king coal country so most of these migrants out from the pull into the philippines parts of africa and i don't understand because nobody tells them what they will face when they get ticket time it's not given enough attention by international governments companies governments they can say thank you to time we don't want to do it with you until you change the words until you would bullish the foulest system until you

put in place fundamental like the right. britain's investigating activities of bahrain's top human rights activists now bill regimen his family and their passports seized last week as they arrived at heathrow airport he spent two years and a bahrain prison for campaigning for greater democracy from bahrain strict monarchy now bill told us he's stuck in the u.k. because of its hypocritical foreign policy towards the gulf region driven by arms sales and oil profits in the ground more liberation more people in detention for thousands of people behind bars thousands of people have made their country thousands of people are heading north of people people were killed hundreds of people who were wounded. hundreds and thousands of houses being raided and the. lot of houses being robbed by the security personnel so that a petition is there was a. guy dish including be united nation nobody want to speak about it because nobody
