a secure tonight is there for us tensions chaos and mayhem really have been unraveling here in suburban st louis in the town of ferguson we witnessed tear gas being fired at just a couple dozen people standing around on a street where of course people have been coming out on to the street in the hundreds of thousands since the killing of an unarmed eighteen year old michael brown took place here the community is outraged because the young man had no weapon however he was fired at multiple times by a police officer and he died as a result of this people have been coming out onto the streets protesting violence has been erupting and most certainly we can get in front of our eyes to d.t.r. gas was fired at least twice and one of those times when the numbers of people in the street really had died down it was only just a couple dozen people who live in this neighborhood and the police had issued several warnings that they would fire tear gas and they in fact proceeded to do

this and of course we do not expect any of these tensions to die down because the locals that we've spoken to most certainly intend to continue coming out to protest in a. rage of what happened and while we don't know exactly what unravelled the police have been claiming that an altercation took place between michael michael brown and this police officer but many of the details remain a big mystery including the identity of this police a police officer who we know now is currently on leave and this is something that the local community wants to change they want to see accountability happen to certainly police misconduct and police brutality has been a huge issue in this country throughout the last several years. down the cities across what's happening in ferguson city missouri of course you can also follow her on twitter for updates as they happen and pictures from the scene. there. the united

nations has appointed an expert panel to investigate suspects of war crimes on both sides during the latest conflict in gaza israel's come out strongly against the move accusing the inquiry of bias before it's even started and here's our middle east correspondent paula. well israel has called the united nations human rights council a kangaroo court it comes after the announcement from the council that it was appointing a three member panel to investigate allegations of possible war crimes now the decision follows an announcement that was made several weeks ago by the head of the council navi pillay and she said at that time that there is the strong possibility that israel is violating international law and that will power was should hold israel accountable for possible war crimes she went on to point out that the israelis had hit schools that hit homes and hospitals gaza's only power plant you in premises and that all of this was in violation of the geneva conventions the

u.n. chief banking has also in the past spoken out in the poshest terms against israel accusing it of hitting particularly in schools where thousands of gazans who have been displaced by the monthlong fighting were seeking refuge now israel has responded by calling this forty seven member state for women in the words of the country's foreign minister he said it was a terrorist rights council and that its investigations and conclusions were predictable israel accuses the u.n. of being a biased against it and what these radio argument is is that it is him us who should be investigated for what they call double war crimes number one firing rockets at israel and number two using civilians as human shields. now the month long conflict claimed more than one thousand nine hundred lives and has left gaza in ruins tens of thousands of homes were destroyed or damaged by israeli strikes universities hundreds of schools and mosques were reduced to rubble reports say half a million people have been displaced and that's almost

a third of the population for more than a million civilians there is no fresh drinkable water openly supporting the plight of palestinians in gaza has got a couple of hollywood stars in trouble it's rumored dads penelope cruz and her husband have a year bardem could be blacklisted for speaking out that story is an art dot com right now. e.u. is planning to put pressure on latin america to stop its exporting more food to russia and that's according to the financial times moscow imposed an embargo on a range of european products and countries like brazil and chile are being cameras to step in and fill the gap for years our correspondent peter oliver with more well following russia's decision to ban the import of certain foodstuffs and i will produce from from europe as well as other countries in retaliation to the sanctions that were opposed the economic sanctions that were imposed on russia as we

understand that brussels are going to try and contact some countries in central and south america in order to dissuade them from selling the blockaded the foodstuffs to russia at a decent price know what we're particularly looking at is countries like brazil and chile and brazil is already seeing this is an opportunity it has a long trading history with russia it's opened set to open around ninety meat processing plants it's expected that brazil will be the place that russia. and pork also chile which is said to be the place it goes to for fish imports that it's no longer accepting from the european union now those farmers that are here in europe well they're saying that when washington and brussels came up with the sanctions against russia they weren't thinking about them and they didn't think about the consequences it could have when making a decision to impose sanctions on russia the e.u.

should have realized that businesses will have problems the drug issue will let it go and will take responsive measures which we are paying right now we need access to the markets it would help solve the deadlock situation in which for example the fruit sector is in elsewhere poland is preparing an appeal to the w t o the world trade organization against the sanctions imposed by russia they say that it infringes upon the rights of particular pools were a huge import to russia from poland what they're saying is that goes against w t o rules russia says not in the slightest doesn't it fringe upon anything that suggests and it says that nobody was complaining to the w t o when sanctions were imposed on russia so what we're seeing is these things to sanctions starting to bite and the people that they're impacting on the most of the farming business and the agricultural industry in europe and more news after this short break including new developments on our breaking news story to stay with us.

islamic state fighters and if you count as more. thousands of iraqis are helpless in the face of terror from the islamic state the jihadi militants are ruthless and well armed there's the hottest forces in iraq are probably the strongest the hardest forces in the region in the world they are equipped with advanced american weapons and that's how they were able to ethnic cleansing minorities christian and is the the minorities from many areas in kurdistan or south of course then another attack in kurdistan u.s. officials see no alternative to sending weapons to combat the extremists who now fight with american weapons you cannot confront isis with flowers at the same time flooding an already deeply divided country with more weapons could backfire in the future. there is no american military solution for low prices in iraq the only lasting solution is for iraqis come together and form an inclusive government

president obama may want a unified iraq but the kurds have long wanted out and arming kurdish militia forces could lead to a permanent breakup of iraq any peaceful state safe the kurds of iraq would like to bring to the region several days and multi-ethnic cities as well as major world they see both kurdish and testing cared for and now is pressing as the kurds defense needs are the question is whether the weapons provided the defense today you've. been watching the need to track down are. american weapons have constantly made their way into iraq during the past fifteen years the united states left behind billions of dollars worth of military gear when it was drew from iraq when islamist state militants captured major iraqi cities like mosul earlier this year the also seized weapons and equipment which the iraqi

army left behind us made tanks trucks and helicopters and now washington sending the kurds some light weapons and ammunition political activists riot gear are told us the u.s. is pumping in money just ward and offensive it created the conditions for in the first place. on the one hand we see the u.s. look eating hundreds of millions of dollars to support fund and train opposition groups in syria at the same time the us is supporting the iraqi central government against the opposition groups in iraq the confusing part is that the groups behind the uprising in syria and iraq are linked you know and the armed opposition fighters are in iraq is considered an enemy of the united states but once they cross the borders to syria they are funded and armed by the united states

definitely foreign interventions and foreign agendas and that each and have opened the doors wide for all of these extremes groups this time and state is a small group with five to ten thousand soldiers mostly on pickup trucks they took out thirty five percent of iraq's territory in a week america's long and had an eye on iraq so many times kurdistan in the north of the country which is home to massive oil reserves but large sections of the kurdish community also live across the border with turkey and supplying weapons to iraq the kurds could put the u.s. in a tricky position with turkey which has long been involved in a violent struggle with its own kurdish population the kurdish region of iraq is the one region of iraq that is more or less firmly under u.s. control the united states is against the kurdish movement in turkey because it doesn't control it in iraq but it's basically existing in northern kurdistan is

a u.s. protectorate. and that's the the region that's where the oil is under u.s. control. basically the whole of the gate the name of the game from washington is to keep the oil money flowing in and isis is the seizure of the central part of iraq is basically kind of iraq into three with the united states directly controlling the north but if. if they've they've used isis as leverage against the maliki government but they're not all about to allow isis fighters to invade come into northern iraq it's under direct u.s. control they want to bomb and force them back toward syria or. places where they're more useful to united states corporate military interests. and an update now to our breaking news story came says it will reload the aid being brought by russian on to red cross vehicles ukraine security officials are refusing to allow the russian humanitarian truck convoy to cross the ukraine border world affairs journalist neil

clark joins me now live for more on this thanks so much for being with us well you know it's a tricky situation here it looks like main problem is that it doesn't one russia crosses border. so how can the aid then get to the people well it's interesting isn't it that yesterday we heard that there'd be an agreement between russia and the cable this aid convoy but then of course we heard from the e.u. and the u.s. they were very much against this thing warning about it being a method of russia illegally invading the country we have the usual neo conservative russia of the voices saying this was a fact or invasion by russia quite a bit of christly and so i think that what's happened is that there's been phone calls made from the e.u. and from the u.s. to the cable car it is to change their position or die hard on this which is a great shame because of course people are dying in the hundreds of thousands in this region eight hundred thousand refugees over a thousand people killed and they need this aid and people are playing politics

with this people are following the russian political agenda and they putting that before the lives of civilians in eastern ukraine is really shameful well you know the red cross says that it will need up to one week to assess the humanitarian situation on the ground but it's bill ready a week since lugansk declared a humanitarian disaster or do you think enough is being done to help people in the region. and i think what we're seeing in the east ukraine east ukraine marine it really is the gas of europe we know what's happening in gaza it's appalling we've had over two thousand palestinians killed by the israelis we've got a humanitarian disaster there quite rightly people are outraged about what's on the gaza and there is a humanitarian effort that to get supplies differently. and to help people but having the same thing happening in europe and not much is being done at all in fact as i said people are playing politics with this there is a humanitarian catastrophe on our hands in europe and the very same liberal left so called humanitarian intervention is to do all they can try and stop being got to

the people here who need it so it really is. an outrage and it seems that these people who are dying in the east ukraine who are suffering from these kind of medieval siege that you're going on against ukrainian city is really on people as far as the west and elites in the photo left humanitarians it can say they don't really count for that ok well neal one problem might be here is that kiev suspects russia might use humanitarian aid as a cover to send arms to government forces in ukraine but russia says that it agreed to the red cross monitoring the mission so why aren't international observers taking part in this and monitoring the situation and the mission of that . but absolutely should be i'm afraid look what's happening here is that the youth is using its pressure to pressurize various actors in this to trust what is going ahead and playing politics as i've said they don't want the only conclusion to

temporarily sadly that people go in the us the west don't want a going to be released they want the burmese to be destroyed they want them to be killed and they want to be thorough he defeated and of course this is where politics and the conservative politics now is getting ahead of people human rights this is a as i said this in the garza of europe and what's being done about it russia is putting in this humanitarian convoy because nobody else is really caring about it as i said these big released ukraine are on people who are the west elites they their human rights don't matter there should have to act and of course we get the same old royce's the same old neo conservative voices saying here we go it's going to be a russian invasion and that russia is using this for humanity so humanitarian intervention by the same people who cheered on the west so-called humanitarian interventions in yugoslavia and kosovo and in libya where these countries were bombed heavily were civilians killed and yet it's it's it's it's unacceptable even to send aid through

to neighboring countries are really double standards are really off the scale here . thanks so much for insight u.k. journalist analysis neil clark clark talking to us here in the national. thanks now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and severe water shortages in colombia have barred clashes and were arrested in juries as crowds demanded the government's a do more to tackle the crisis drier weather and heat waves have been causing increasingly severe droughts some areas have gone almost a year without rain colombians are also angry over high water taxes bad infrastructure and the contamination of supplies. an intense search is underway after hundreds of prisoners escaped from an overcrowded jail on the outskirts of haiti's capital three hundred twenty nine inmates escaped joining in attempt to free the son of a prominent businessman i was being held on kidnap charges

a large rewards being offered for information leading to his recapture police have so far managed to find ten of the other prisoners and fear some may have fled across the border. had a sash freeze being treated for a bowl as died and dread hospital after receiving one of the world's few doses of a u.s. made experimental treatment is one of the only three bold patients to have received the drug manufacturer is making limited doses available but sadly it's working to increase production the priest was in fact that while helping a bowl victims at a hospital in liberia and he was then evacuated to space. that's what his father is taken to a unique approach to teaching his kids about the dangers of playing violent video games but he is young sons to syria and the west bank to see the real effects of war back home is being vilified as

a baghdad we'll tell you why on our website also online today. u.s. state department staff have been getting a rough ride we're hosting a q. and a's now as their bosses are getting them coaching license costing half a mil. dollars so they can perform better following a string of embarrassing displays. up next an anteater national debate story is that the mainstream nisus and breaking sat stay with us. it was recently revealed that under the guise of an hiv prevention workshop and as tourists you know latin americans were sent to cuba by the u.s.

government to overthrow that government yes the u.s. agency for international development organized for these young people to go to cuba to recruit and set up new political activists however the infiltrators were not very good at their jobs and the cuban authorities were able to nab these well funded travelers in their country this is nowhere near the first time that the u.s. government has tried to meddle in cuba in two thousand and nine usa he tried to set up a twitter like program to organize people in cuba and we can't forget about the ill fated cuban television airplane that was supposed to bombard the island with western media that was totally blocked by the government during the cold war i could see the justification to dominate cuba if the us didn't have influence in a country that automatically the soviets did but now what is the justification why does the us need to infiltrate cuba and by what right do you want doesn't have nukes put in america and they have limited industrial capacity they can't do anything to anyone just leave the poor island alone and let the people there figure out their own future without the us state department's help but that's just my

opinion. what's really good folks i'm going to rob lowe filling in for abby martin this week and this is breaking the set so over the weekend the u.s. continued airstrikes against isis members in the northern kurdish territory of iraq one of the white house the goal of the strikes is to protect american interests in the area and to prevent mass slaughter of christian minorities five hundred of whom have already been killed according to iraqi officials now thankfully as many as

twenty thousand were able to escape from a mountain surrounded by isis forces after u.s. strikes but thousands more remain trapped and concerns over the u.s. expansion of u.s. military operations there where and whether the military solution is even possible still about partly it's still a bound but these concerns have only been exacerbated by president obama's statement on saturday that this operation is quote going to take some time meanwhile a political crisis is blue is brewing in baghdad as iraq's president just nominated a new prime minister deputy parliament speaker a body this action will likely oust current prime minister nuri al maliki whose exclusionist policies have largely contributed to the crisis now moloch he has vowed to legally challenge the president's decision leaving the country's stability of the in limbo at a time when the country needs it the most but hey i guess that's what iraq is supposed to look like post mission accomplished right now let's break this up.
