that make money based decisions are much more common than they would ever admit publicly. when you take direct action against when they threaten our personnel or facilities u.s. fighter jets strike islamic state positions near the iraqi city of irbil with the white house refusing to rule out sending more military forces but only if a new inclusive government is formed. 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 also. pushes between palestinians and israeli soldiers but this time it seems the west

bank later will report from the heart of the rest. welcome my name is the. internet. the us is carried out strikes against the islamic state finances near the iraqi city of at a bill white house claims that america's priority task is to defend its personnel on the ground while the countering the islamic state is iraq's own headache and see a chicken it reports. the u.s. military in iraq seems to really be gathering pace what we do know is the white house spokesperson has now said that the united states will be ready to involve military deployment in iraq when iraq if it does create an inclusive government to

help the iraqi government by trompe promise that militant forces are fighters that have been ravaging the country that were hit central iraq now the white house does continue to insist that this will not involve boots on the ground however this is raising some serious questions in terms of the exactly what kind of shape and form this further military force from the united states will have once and if it decides to eventually partake in the events unraveling on the ground so certainly concerns are high that this could be a quite slippery slope of course considering the long history of u.s. military involvement in iraq now of course all of these statements are coming in just hours after air strikes were conducted by the u.s. administration in order to fight off and target the isis forces these included two f. eighteen fighters that fighter jets that dropped five hundred pound. laser guided bombs on the capital of the kurdish province and continued and took steps to

provide monetary and relief aid drops so that the people stuck in these mountaintops could get access to food and water and of course all of this continues to go on as promises of no boots on the ground are continuing to be made it remains to be seen exactly how the u.s. continues to try to keep promising that it has no intention to return to iraq in quite some full force. let's now take a look at what today's strikes may have cost american taxpayers. according to its maker launching eighteen hornet find to jet costs around sixteen thousand dollars per hour and the laser guided bombs which have been dropped on jihadists come in at a cool twenty one thousand dollars each we don't know how many bombs we used today but local reports suggest there were at least six air strikes the white house says the no additional money will be sought for the operation but political analyst and author william dahl says that what washington says in public about its iraq

policies should never be taken at face value. i think the obama administration is being extremely hypocritical los not utterly dishonest about its policy toward the emergence of isis back in early june and i don't think go washington is particularly interested in stopping snow the islamic speaker of the isis jihad as i call palmer is whining to the world he's lying to the american people about what the u.s. military is doing with these surgical airstrikes no c. limited they are i think the arm of the key government it's out of its mind to fight u.s. military to make airstrikes there are other militaries so make such strikes that could be invited instead but the notes another question. john this john white thinks that a new iraqi occupation would only make the country's problems worse. it's an ironic that just three years after u.s.

troops left iraq. in which the phoned were no contest plea and u.s. troops returning to iraq in number. only those who've had their humanity surgically removed who'd feel to be moved by the play these poor people in northern iraq create no such any efforts to alleviate their play in the short term must be however the cause of a problem can never be a solution good for war and this is why washington draw he must be part of a coalition and certainly not taking charge of any military actions and we really have to reorientation of western foreign policy in the middle east hostility police . ukraine could block the transit of russian gas to europe as part of a set of economic sanctions against moscow approved by parliament the measures are far from a done deal yet but the possibility was outlined by ukraine's prime minister

parties a renewed as more obviously it will affect russia's shipments to europe but it should look at the implications the situation will have on russia's european partners especially of the countries that are in the center in the east and in the south of europe some of them are getting as much as almost hundred percent of their gas supply from russia via you crane and of course we all those countries have already found themselves out in the cold literally during the so-called gas wars between russia and ukraine some years back and they could be looking for another repetition of that experience if indeed ukraine does go through with its promise of sanctions and we may assume that ukraine wants to punish russia by imposing these sanctions but as a result what we're looking at really is ukraine punishing its european neighbors and while political analysts. says that past experience shows which countries are likely to be the worst hit. ukraine is then targeting more the european union and energy security for its eastern member states than russia

because as we saw in two thousand and nine. and were slovakia. and partially other countries i seeing that this proposal will never gets reality since pressure from brussels by commission and other actors from the national states will stop this proposal by yes in york or the south stream pipeline that's currently under construction that remains one possible route for russian energy supplies around ukraine its construction however was frozen by bulgaria back in june that's after brussels said it didn't comply with e.u. regulations bulgaria itself is highly dependent on russian gas supplies which make up more than ninety percent of its domestic consumption or oil transit would also be affected by possible ukrainian blockade the russian all company trans the after hours offered assurances that it will be able to fulfill most of its obligations

one option will be to read direct the flow to another branch of the pipeline network through the other routes instead of ukraine the company spokesman said that a ban would hit hungary slovakia and the czech republic the hardest now the danger of an energy blockade comes with some e.u. countries already bracing for an economic hit they fear that they could lose billions of euros because of russia's ban on food imports russia is blocking imports of meat fruit vegetables and some dairy and fish products for one year european agriculture will take the brunt and some farmers in exports are demanding to be compensated 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 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 stamp to work. some estimates suggest that the ban could cost the finnish economy as much as a billion euros mostly from dairy exports elsewhere the german trade union the deals with wholesale foreign trade said the ban posed a risk to the whole economy in greece the opposition party said to accuse the current government of hurting farmers and in ireland the minister for agriculture said that there was real worry particularly regarding cheese exports which were valued at four and a half million euros in twenty thirty. ukrainian army surrounds the largest cities in the country's east. shells said residential areas hospitals and even churches moscow is already

providing aid to children injured in the conflict so we'll have more on the ongoing possibilities coming up. but before that at least one tane has reportedly been killed and fourteen palestinians wounded one seriously so in fierce clashes with israeli soldiers across the west bank. israeli army used tear gas rubber bullets and live ammunition to disperse thousands of people staging protests against the military offensive in. palestinian protesters threw stones and fireworks at the troops the west bank has seen skirmishes a number of times since the beginning of the month long conflict at this time of the ten towns including bethlehem and ramallah were involved harry fear reports for r.t. from the heart of the disturbances. just behind me palestinian protesters are clashing

with israeli troops here in the occupied west bank throughout the west bank today we've seen clashes between israeli troops and palestinian protesters throwing stones at israeli troops now the hamas movement throughout the occupied palestinian territories called for a day of rage today as on previous fridays during this latest israel gaza war. this is in the context of now more than a month's worth of fighting a train in israel and hamas and other factions in gaza well earlier today the operation by israel resumed on gaza as rocket fire from gaza continued after the cease fire efforts broke down at least one palestinian civilian has been killed already as this operation has resumed a ten year old boy playing near a mosque in central gaza or in gaza city was killed mortally wounded by a head injury as a result of israeli strikes on a mosque and this is now the beginning of what some palestinians in gaza calling

phase two of this most recent two thousand and fourteen gaza israel war protests become only one form of expressing anger against the israeli offensive in gaza a string of incidents suggest an increase of anti semitism and attacks on jewish communities across different parts of the world auntie's marina culture of it takes a look. we've seen the tragic images. and the public outrage that followed. i and now it appears that backlash has been 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 taken parts 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 stroke palestinian rally calling for an end to israel's operation and demanding that lets stop selling weapons to the. foreign office minister baroness falsie also quit calling david cameron's position on gaza morally indefensible others but their anger more destructively. according to the metropolitan police and systematic crimes have doubled in london over the past year and these figures predates israel's a recent operation in gaza on officially 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 systematic incidents recorded across the u.k. in the first half of the year including twenty two highlands 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. . over at our website the protests over gaza reach even supermarkets. by calls knowledge shoppers know the products they want and evenings with israel. also warn us police officer has decided he no longer needs to worry about the law of the land as laid down in the constitution and we're back with more news after this short break.

they all told me my language as well but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm likely to put the no i will leave them to the state department comment on your latter point to say. to carry out a car as i'm going to talk you know god i. think you know more weasel words when you made a direct question the prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for a. freedom of speech and down the freedom to question. do we speak your language. there's all these programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of his p.r. people interviews intriguing stories for you. in

trying. to find out more visit our big. dog called. welcome back and creating an army is moving in on the largest cities in the country's east in an attempt to crush the anti-government resistance there and the officials say that they're ready and troops to fight in the streets have done yet. as part of the next phase to take back control of the restive regions of correspondent how small. 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 spokesperson has said that the military will take the city center towns and 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 the concerns are that there 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 days ago visited this city over the guns can we saw a very dramatic picture on the ground many have already scaped the town but to many are still inside and they're hiding in their basements they're living under constant shelling and they're mostly women children or see and this is the situation now in ukraine moscow's receiving refugees that have fled the combat zones of east ukraine the number of children badly hurt in the fighting of now arrived in the russian capital but many more remain stranded and under fire

authorities medina cochon of the reports. nine severely injured children have arrived this morning to moscow from dying as you know a number of ambulances were waiting for them here at the city really station and we do know that two of those children were injury during the bombing some of the city there was one four year old boy on board of this train and a young girl who was injury during the firefight all these children are in need of urgent medical help doctors who accompanied them see that they only take those who can't stay in the refugee camp and claim that only in that area there are over forty children in such condition they see the need a humanitarian corridor but so far the situation in that area remains too challenging to make that a possibility. a photo correspondent working for the russian real novice the agency has reportedly been detained by ukraine's national guard agency says that under the

stand in who disappeared in the east of the country three days ago is now in the hands of the security service or book you have denies that sterling was last heard from on tuesday when he said photos from the region of first communication disruptions were blamed for the loss of contacts he's been working all over the rest of regions where several reporters have been killed or abducted just two weeks ago a british journalist who'd filed several reports for r.t. was snatched by security services he was held for three days and says that he was beaten and tortured before being thrown out of ukraine on the scene of devastation as. a resolution calling for all sides to accept a cease fire at the site of the malaysian plane crash in east ukraine is being blocked at the u.n. security council the countries who refuse to accept the document put forward by moscow wanted anti government forces blamed in the wording professor bruno diversity from the national institute of east and civilizations believes it's all

part of a well planned campaign against russia. very concerned. to have an inquiry about the incident of the accident of the malaysian plane plane but most obviously united states don't want to cooperate on that 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 where we 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. about do it human rights question in

ukraine you know it's double standard all the time the united states defending human rights in countries they don't like but they don't defend them in countries which are their ally so since kiev government is pro american it's obviously we're not different human rights in ukraine and kier now says it will extender cease fire near the flight and a seventeen crash site but only after it receives an official request from international investigators. to us gun rights advocates have written a children's book to provide the idea that attack is the best form of defense to trust your weapon and each account spoke to parents who support the idea and those who don't. 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 with 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 have a 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 for twenty take and i had just purchased it for him first and i purchased from us. obviously our great purchase he did. and this hank was crossing the creek they said these little rubber slipped. and when he did the better they get hit the guy on. 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

perry parents carry guns i can't even stretch my mind therefore it's. for me it's just a. very 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 seem variably see all attempts to restrict the use of guns as an encroachment on the constitution so all meaningful efforts to bring about policy change have hit a dead end in washington i'm going to check on. some of the global headlines for you now we'll start with the spreading ebola outbreak africa's most populous country nigeria has declared a national state of emergency with seven cases so far confirmed the virus has killed more than nine hundred sixty people in west africa it was first detected in guinea in march and spread to sierra leone and liberia there is no license

treatment or vaccine for ebola and the case fatality rate has been up to ninety percent. elsewhere at least one person was killed and three others are missing after flash floods hit central and northern parts of bosnia authorities there declared a state of emergency evacuating hundreds of people from affected villages floods in the same area in may affected nearly two million people and caused billions of euros in damage. brutally now seven activists and u.s. military base in sicily to protest against the construction of a system used to guide drones this system is an old high frequency satellite network which will be used by the u.s. navy the protesters say that the antenna i are affecting the health of locals with the rate of some illnesses. much higher than in other regions of sicily. the volcano in ecuador has begun spewing out love and rocks it's been shooting plumes

of ash into the sky over distance as much as three kilometers since monday no injuries or deaths have been reported but authorities do warn a more violent eruption is now like a big. event with the latest headlines at the top of the odd to see you then stick around the next year it's crops to. clean more zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of war mongering politicians. capturing people is this what do you do if the innocent killing them easy we reserve the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they can do that looking for they can be trained to

muslims makes these things over again politicians get a new kind of power via this technology sad is very tempting. farms waters do you have the palm of me because. i saw you spread all over norway is the most toxic food you have in the whole. process drowns out in the judicial inquiry furthermore those restrictions. really. inside.
