pleasure to have you with us you're on our team today on roller sutra. u.s. fighter jets a strike islamic state positions near the iraqi city of erbil president obama has said the operation would only go ahead if americans were in danger. and ukraine says it could cut the transit of russian gas through its territory as part of economic sanctions against moscow potentially affecting e.u. states that heavily depend on russian energy this winter. the ukrainian army begins to surround the largest cities in the east or with shells they are hitting residential areas hospitals and churches mosques there's already pulled vibing aid to children injured in the conflict.

the result strikes resume in gaza after a ceasefire expires with reports suggesting israel's offensive is sputtering and is the magic sentiments across the globe. to live from moscow you're watching r t international well come here with me. the u.s. has carried out air strikes against islamic state fighters near the iraqi city of erbil president obama had said he would only authorize the military operation as a last resort if the hardass attack the kurdish area where u.s. personnel are deployed and associates are going to joins me now with the details

and as a senior you can see there these strikes came fairly quickly after obama said intervening was a possibility. well let's have you despite putting an end to the iraq war being central to obama's election campaign promises six years ago we're now seeing u.s. fighter jets back in the airspace over iraq carrying out air strikes this comes as the u.s. decides to take military action in iraq yet again to target isis and i'll tell you that has been ravaging through the northwest of the country taking control of multiple towns and cities forcing two hundred thousand people to flee and taking control of the largest dam in the country and trapping as many as forty thousand religious minorities on a mountaintop without access to food or water according to unicef forty children have already died there due to heat and dehydration so the action that the united states decided to take and has been taking are airstrikes to know that to actually

eighteen fighter jets have dropped five hundred pound weezer guided bombs of your air below the kurdish province capital and another action that the u.s. has been carrying out is humanitarian relief air drops to provide the trapped people with water and food and we do know that of course the u.s. president has said that boots on the ground in iraq again are not an option but it has to be said that back in june three hundred special force troops were sent back into the country to assess the situation and remain there we also know that the u.s. considered latest airstrikes legal because they had received requests for help from the iraqi government and also because they see the situation unraveling on the ground as a threat to u.s. national security but of course these latest airstrikes are seen as a very slippery slope with the united states have been involved on the ground for so long. and now being the fourth u.s.

president in a row to order military action in the country and to see it in new york following developments the from new york in terms of what's going on with those strikes in iraq thank you. political analyst and author william and all believe what washington says and public about its iraq policy is or should never be taken at face value. i think the obama administration is being extremely hypocritical if not utterly dishonest about its policy toward iraq since the emergence of isis are going to resume i don't think go washington is particularly interested in stopping snow leaders like speaker of the isis fighters i think obama is whining to the world he's lying to the american people about what the u.s. military is doing with these should recall their sharks' next you know they are i think the arm of the key government out of its mind to fight u.s.

military to make airstrikes there are other militaries so make such strikes that could be invited and sure but no that's another question. a new round of u.s. military action will concern many americans who remember the cost of the previous invasion of iraq let's look at the figures now the white house spend a huge one point seven trillion dollars on the whole deal so every second of the occupation cost american taxpayers five thousand dollars deploying just one u.s. soldier cost three hundred fifty thousand dollars and billions in pension payments are still to be paid to war veterans and to war activists richard becker says the bill washington is pain is actually much bigger. the cost of the war has not really been. in terms of the damage done in iraq the damage done to me people. from the united states and the actual cost which will be ongoing 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 dr tara strophe that war was for the people in iraq and also for the people in the united states. ukraine could blog of the transit of russian gas to europe as part of a set of economic sanctions against a moscow approved by parliament measures far from a done deal yet the possibility was outlined by the ukraine's prime minister are seizing going to go to school has more on the possible consequences of course these possible sanctions could affect russia being the exporter of gas but more importantly it will affect european countries when we're talking about europe of course they're getting a lot of the countries in europe are getting bulk of their gas supplies from russia especially the countries in eastern europe when we're talking about slovenia bulgaria poland and czech republic we're talking about countries they're getting almost a hundred percent of their gas supplies from russia and ukraine and that means that

if these sanctions and indeed are implemented it means these countries will be left out in the cold for sure come the next winter season and of course ukraine is trying to follow in the footsteps of the e.u. and the united states and punish russia with these sanctions however by looks of it out the moment it appears that they are punishing their european neighbors more than they are punishing moscow. political analyst phil says past experience shows which countries are likely to be worse hit. ukraine is then targeting more the european union energy security for its eastern member states than russia because as we saw in two thousand and nine. were slovakia bulgaria and partially other countries are seeing that this proposal will never get reality since pressure from brussels by commission and

other actors from national states will stop this proposal by in york he also believes that he grain sanctions could push brussels to revive the sultry pipeline project after hearing this it is clear for all the states in southeast europe like austria slovenia hungary serbia area to lobbying much more for the construction of south stream to get a very secure supply of gas and if you crane is not willing to guarantee it there will be other options. transit or would also be affected by a possible ukrainian blockade but russian oil and transport accompanied transit nafta has offered assurances that it will be able to fulfill most of its obligations one option will be to redirect the flow to another branch of the pipeline network through bell routes instead of ukraine the company spokesman said

a ban would hit hungary slovakia and the czech republic the heart is the danger of an energy blockade comes the with the some e.u. countries already braced for an economic hit they fear they could lose billions of euros because of russia's ban on food imports and russia's blocking impose of meat fruit vegetables and some dairy and fish products for one european culture will take the brunt some farmers and export are demanding to be compensated for their losses. there's someone there know it's going to affect us all for us 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 and 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. it's a disaster for my company will need to stop production the money will receive

without imports to russia won't even be enough to pay for the buses that bring our staff to work. some estimates suggest the ban could cost the finnish economy as much as a one billion euro mostly from dairy exports elsewhere the german trade union that deals with wholesale foreign trade said the ban posed a risk to the whole economy in greece the opposition party series i.q. the current government of hurting members and in ireland the minister for agriculture said there was real worry particularly regarding cheese exports which were valued at four point five million euros in two thousand and thirteen and they are just a few of the voices in europe who believe their countries can't afford to lose a key trading partner. russia has been a strategic partner for greece in many farming and food export. products brussels going on still in that you cannot live from that you can only decrease of exports

for greece or other countries greece has. all history of traditional good ties with russia and we should continue on that road. and just discussion on political issues. trying to. push. the political decent. honest. reasonable. kind of. a resolution calling for all sides to accept a cease fire at the slides of the malaysian plane crash in eastern ukraine has been blocked at the un security council the countries who refused to accept the document put forward by russia wanted the end to government forces blamed in the wording of the west from the national institute of east and civilization believes it's all

part of a well planned campaign against russia. very concept went to have an inquiry about the incident of the accident of the malaysian play plane but most obviously united states don't want to cooperate on got field and they don't give the information they have they don't want to communicate they just want to make pressure. against russia unfortunately the the members of the security council some members of the security council reacted in their typical way. being adamantly against any kind of criticism of the ukrainian authorities even though we have a case of. attempted violation of twenty one sixty six you know ukraine is now a playground. for western countries but especially for united states against russia

and i don't think they are very. interested in. human rights questioning you know it's double standard all the time the united states defending human rights in three countries they don't like but they don't define them in countries which are their allies so since government is pro american it's obvious they will not defend human rights in ukraine. for a correspondent working for the russian re and obviously agency has reportedly been detained by ukraine's national guard the agency says under a s d n and who disappeared in the east of the country three days ago is now at the hands of the security service denies that c.n.n. was last heard from on shoes day when he sent photos from the region at first the communication disruptions were blamed for the loss of contact he's been working all

over the rest of the region away several reporters have been killed or doctored just two weeks ago a british journalist who filed a number of reports for r.t. was snatched by security services he was held for three days and says he was beaten and tortured before getting thrown out of ukraine. the ukrainian army is moving in on the largest cities in the country's east in an attempt to to crush the anti-government resistance they in the military officials say they are readying troops to find in the streets of the near scale lugansk as part of the next phase to take back control of the rest of regions maria for national has more. ukraine's national security and defense council has confirmed that the army is currently preparing to regain control over the major cities in eastern ukraine it is also now confirmed by the officials of what key it calls its antiterrorist the region in these parts of the country they spokes person has said that the military will take

the city center towns of the villages street after street building after building without specifying which city will come first saying that it will either be dead or lugansk these are big cities of course with these promises from cave to intensify the attacks concerns are that they could be even more civilian deaths in less than four months of the operation in ukraine more than one thousand people have already been killed ordinary civilians we just couple of days ago visited the city over the guns can resell very dramatic picture on the ground many have already scale the town but to many are still inside and they're hiding in the basements they're living under constant shelling and they're mostly women children or see and old this is the situation now in ukraine. moscow's receiving refugees that have fled the combat zones of east ukraine a number of children badly hurt in the find they have now arrived in the russian

capital and many more remain stranded under fire as our medina caution of our reports. nine c. very ancient children have a right this morning to moscow from danya now and number of ambulances were waiting for them here at the city railway station and we do know that two of those children were injured during the bombing so the city there was one four year old boy on board of this train and a young girl who was injured during the firefights all these children are in need of urgent medical help doctors who accompanied them say that they only take those who can stay in the refugee camp and claim that only in that area there are over forty children in such condition they say they need a humanitarian corridor but so far the situation in that area remains too challenging to make that a possibility. more news off the break to stay with us. but

i'll talk about language as well but i will react to situations i have read the reports i'm likely to push you know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to say to mr kerry you have a car is on the job. well thought out. they do no more weasel words. when you say to direct question be prepared for a change when you're done you should be ready for a battle freedom of speech and little doubt the freedom to question. we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news. stories.

that. visit. was. welcome back a ten year old palestinian boy was reportedly the for as a victim of israel's renewed strike on gaza in response to hamas missile attacks the conflict restarted just hours after a cease fire between the two sides expired the month long conflict has claimed almost one thousand eight hundred lives the majority of which are palestinian civilians actions policy as you know. 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 put forward by hamas 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 fridays 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 a vis humanitarian truce it 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 one 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

the world one of the latest showings of anger came in madrid hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets demanding israel called 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 suggest an increase of anti semitism and attacks on jewish communities in different parts of the world or it is more in a cost of a takes a look. we've seen the tragic images. and public outrage that followed. and now it appears that the backlash is being directed at anyone who has any links to israel which is. 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 that muslims of brits show up at each procrustean rally calling for an end to israel's operation and demanding that which stop selling weapons to the. foreign office minister baroness also quit calling david cameron's position on gaza morally indefensible alters their anger more destructively. according to the metropolitan police and

systematic crimes have doubled in london over the past year and these figures to date israel's a recent operation in gaza on the fishley it appears has been an even sharper rises since the conflict began and jewish communities living here in the capital and beyond are now warning everyone to take extra care with over three hundred and some magic incidents recorded across the u.k. in the first half of the year including twenty two quadrants attacks their concerns are understandable while politicians scramble to find a peaceful way out of the israeli palestinian conflict there are many other issues which will need resolving too far away from gaza marina cost of our reporting from london for r.t. . and i would add a website to the protests gaza reach. a new phone app called by call now lets shoppers know if the products they want to buy has a meetings with israel. also while you're online learn while one a u.s. police officer has decided he needs to worry about the law of the land as laid down

in the constitution. to us gun rights advocates have written a children's book and to promote the idea that attack is the best form of defense and to trust a weapon anesthetic and swallow to parents who support the idea and those who don't buy a new children's book has hit the bookshelves of america my parents' open carry is designed to explain to children why it is a great idea for their parents to be carrying guns with them everywhere to the thirteen year old character in the books the parents say when seconds count police are minutes away the book already has its supporters and its haters. why do you think it's because people need to know how to take care of themselves protect themselves and to protect the children in the home if they know how to use them in their safe for them are you are you a father very much i have three boys but i don't think that that's good for example

why i think that we already have a pretty violent nation as it is so i think that we are common genic nation so that just promotes it in a sense some in social media hit back at gun advocates by changing the book's cover irenaeus site the american academy of pediatrics points to grim statistics firearms are one of the top three causes of death among children in the u.s. killing twice as many as cancer injuries from fire arms send an estimated seven thousand children to casualty every year and an additional three thousand died from gunshot wounds before they get to a hospital and despite the growing number of deaths among children gun culture in america seems to be gaining momentum. the documentary film kids and guns features american families who encourage their young children to own and shoot arms . and those who regret ever having given a gun to their child he had

a little twenty two thank you twenty two and i had just purchased it for him first and i purchased from. obviously you are a great purchasing good. and this hank was crossing the crate they said that his little rope and slipped. and when he did the butt of the going to hit the guy all. and it went off and shot and. i ran into several non americans as i was asking people what they thought about the children's book you have to explain your kids why your parents. can even stretch my mind. for me it is just. very a culture shock american children younger than fifteen or nine times more likely to die in a gun related accident and those in the rest of the developed world gun advocates in the us invariably see all attempts to restrict the use of guns as an
