russia has made very clear that it will retaliate in a proportionate manner with european culture set to bear the brunt of the import ban e.u. leaders but sanctions against russia look likely to face farmers and export is demanding compensation for their losses there's someone there know. it's going to affect us all it will take two or three months to collect all remaining crops of oranges and we don't know what will happen if no one buys them if there isn't a sufficient market prices will go down and we don't know if we can cover the costs of production because it is so expensive. european food exports. to russia worth over twelve billion euros last year if you win year and finland were the first to contact brussels about compensation some estimates suggest the ban could cost the finnish economy four hundred million euro mostly from dairy exports elsewhere the

german trade union that deals with wholesale foreign trade said the ban posed a risk to the economy in his country in greece the opposition party accused the current government's actions of being detrimental to farming and in ireland the minister for agriculture said there was real worry particularly regarding cheese exports which were valued at four point five million euro in twenty thirteen european analysts are warning that sanctions aren't the way to find a solution free trade is a key for peace we shouldn't be in this game of tit for tat thing with sanctions we should be negotiating on the same table but as it stands russian consumers are going to have to go without certain imports and western export is going to be locked out the russian market peter oliver r.t. berlin experts and politicians from across europe have said the big countries can't afford to lose a key trading partner. russia has been a strategic partner for greece and really for me and for the export. progress

brussels going on still in the normal on the economy decrease of exports for greece or other countries greece has our whole history of traditional good ties with russia and we should continue in that role. just discussion on political issues. trying to. get to. see. back to our breaking news story this hour ukraine could blog on russia's gas transit to do europe as part of a set of economic sanctions like use parliament has approved twenty six the

measures that could be implemented against russia they include a ban on any transportation through the country's territory including the transfer of energy resources the main transit routes for russia's gas to europe lies through ukraine and blocking of those routes could cause a drastic shot in a number of e.u. countries but these sanctions fall from a done deal although ukraine's prime minister says there is a distinct possibility the exact sanctions will be revealed later today and we'll have more details as we get them here on r.t. international. right the u.s. says it's ready to carry out is strikes against islamic state fighters who are fos to making gains in northeast iraq president obama that it would be a last resort should the jihad to attack the kurdish city of eat a bill where u.s. personnel are deployed and strikes were reported into tells me it is real on

thursday night with local authorities say american planes were behind the operation the pentagon instantly denied the allegations washington says the u.s. planes have only delivered food and water to hundreds of thousands of iraqis forced to flee the area but it's making further advances with the country's largest christian city. among the latest captured areas an associate reports. the mission of the u.s. to get in the way of the humanitarian crisis in raveling in the country as the state and al qaeda affiliated group also known as isis ravages through northern iraq pushing two hundred thousand iraqis to flee and trapping about forty thousand religious minorities on mount where according to unicef forty children have already died from heat and dehydration air drops of humanitarian aid in iraq are now being conducted by the u.s. these climate militants have been sweeping through northwestern iraq taking over multiple towns and cities as well as the country's largest dam intensifying

concerns that this is only the tip of the iceberg and that the instability in the country only keeps growing directed our military to take targeted strikes against terrorist convoys should they move toward the city. we intend to stay vigilant and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in the world but are there any other options one of those actually putting together a nato type organization which consists of jordan turkey egypt saudi arabia you can organize the sunni nations which we've helped train and equip to go take care of this nobody wants isis to be successful even a seventy one of them so you've got to look at this realistically and frankly the american people are tired of war so which steps if any could actually bring more stability to the chaos torn country and how far could any u.s. involvement lead these are sensitive questions after almost a decade of u.s. presence in iraq and the country is now at the point of catastrophe as chaos and six arion violence continues to rage on and it's hard to see. the prospect of

another round of u.s. military action is concerning and many americans who remember the cost of the previous invasion of iraq let's take a look at the figures the white house is spend a huge one point seven trillion dollars on the whole ordeal so every second of the occupation cost american taxpayers five thousand dollars deploying just one a u.s. soldier costs three hundred fifty thousand dollars and billions in pension payments are still to be paid to war veterans and he will activism richard baucus says the bill washington is actually much bigger the cost of the war has not really been added up yet in terms of the damage done in iraq the damage done to people. from the united states and the actual cost which will be ongoing and hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars will be added to that in terms of health care

in the future and i think people are quite aware of what a catastrophe that war was for the people in iraq. in the united states. right more news after the break you stay with us. well not talking about language at all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for unlike the players i know i will leave them to stink to comment on your latter point. to carry out a call as all your talk is no gonna. take you no more weasel words. when you made a direct question he prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for a. critical speech and a little on the freedom to. do we speak your

language anything about the war not a. news programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn as if angles to the stories. you hear. that try all to spanish find out more visit. this is r.j. international you with me tongue same all on this hour's breaking news ukraine could blog the transit of russian gas to europe as part of a set of economic sanctions against russia which is arena girlish go out has a mole on this live with us it read out what exactly could this mean for russia and its european guess customers. well russia probably wouldn't be as concerned

as its european customers because if we go back to several months ago if we go back to even several years ago we'll understand that europe is heavily dependent on russian gas especially eastern and southern europe we're talking about greece we're talking about italy poland they get a lot of their gas a majority of their gas supplies from russia of course now if indeed the parliament passes rejected a bill with possible twenty six items on the sanctions list that of course we could be looking at a very very cold winter and fall not just for ukraine which is already suffering from gas shortages but also for the countries that are just mentioned and possibly for even larger number of them if we go back to the so-called gas war europe has already felt the plight off the confrontation between ukraine and russia when it comes to gas disputes literally with its skin so possibly we could be looking at yet another really cold winter or europe in terms of in terms of heating obviously and gas supplies and of course this is only if ukraine does indeed go

ahead and follow in the footsteps of the e.u. when the united states and impose sanctions on russia. in the following of those developers of course will be following here in moscow listening for the sanctions that are coming out today from kiev. a ten year old palestinian boy was reported the first victim of israel's renewed strikes on gaza in response to. the conflict restarted just hours after a cease fire between the two sides expired the month long conflict as claimed almost one thousand eight hundred lives the majority of which are palestinian civilians artie's placea has. all of this is happening as a follow on from talks in egypt that failed what we understand is that the main sticking point was a demand put forward by her mats insisting that israel lift its a.t.'s siege on gaza the situation on the ground is extremely tense both here in israel and in the

west bank over the past few days we've seen what amasses called days of rage with clashes erupting both in palestinian cities and also kalandia checkpoint between israeli soldiers and protesters so the mood on the ground is extremely tense israeli police are on high alert and people in the west bank itself extremely concerned about what is happening inside gaza the breakdown of adverse humanitarian truce does spell bad news mostly for the people of gaza where the humanitarian situation has been dying to say the least the latest figures suggest that tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed and damaged more than a hundred schools and mosques have been destroyed and damaged one point eight million gazans have been displaced and at the same time some one million gazans are without access to drinking water violence in gaza has triggered protests across of

the world one of the latest shows over anger came in madrid hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets demanding israel put an end to the month long offensive they also called for an end to the occupation of the palestinian territories. some of the protests against the israeli operation have been far from peaceful a string of incidents suggests an increase of enties semitism and objects and jewish communities in different parts of the world are it is more in a crossover takes a look. we've seen the tragic images. and the public outrage that followed. and now it appears that backlash is being directed at anyone who has any links to israel or judaism. in sydney australia five teenagers were arrested for allegedly screaming and systematic abuse

at a group of jewish school children as young as five in the french city of toulouse police arrested the man for throwing fire bombs at a local jewish center in the danish capital copenhagen police had to disperse a pro israel rally fearing for the safety of those taking part in italy rome's historic jewish area has been transformed by anti semites a graffiti and flyers covering shops and walls and even in berlin german protesters were seen barren and systematic banners and chants in hate slogans thousands of brits show up at each procrustes in the in rally calling for an end to israel's operation and demanding the british government stop selling weapons to them foreign office minister baroness vasili also quit calling david cameron's position on gaza morally indefensible others bent their anger more destructively. according to the metropolitan police and systematic crimes have doubled in london over the past year
