10:05 am
chile now brazil is already seen this is an opportunity it has long trading history with russia it's opened set to open around ninety meat processing plant it's expected that brazil will be the place that russia goes to to try and get its beef and pork also chile which is said to be the place to go 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 businesses will have problems with russia we'll let it go and we'll take responsive measures which we're paying right now we need access to the markets could 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
10:06 am
organization against the sanctions imposed by russia they say that it infringes upon the rights of particular apples were a huge import to russia from poland what they're saying is it goes against the b.t.o. rules russia says not in the slightest doesn't it fringe upon anything the w t o suggests and it says that nobody was complaining to the w t o when stat sanctions were imposed on russia so what we're seeing is these things to the tats. actions starting to bite the people that they're impacting on the most of the farming business and the the agricultural industry in europe robert oulds who's the head of the british group saying tang believes that latin american countries won't band under the pressure from brussels. really it's time that the european union as well as perhaps even the united states stop dictating to other countries around the world argentina brazil chile the beauty it will be in their economic interest to
10:07 am

10:09 am
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 to 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
10:10 am
locals that we've spoken to most certainly intend to continue coming out to protest in outrage of what happened and while we don't know exactly what unraveled 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. as he is across the latest developments in missouri of course you can also follow her on twitter for updates as they happen and pictures from the scene. the the in. coming up

washington says its airstrikes against jihad as in iraq are not enough and begins arming kurdish forces in the region it's after the jihad of themselves took hold of numerous weapons made in america all the details are coming shortly. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here are not going here in iraq that our big story the facts are that while same time there's a reason they don't want international airport they're telling the truth is that we should be completely out now let's break the set. there's a media leave us so we leave the baby. by the seat cushions secure the play your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics only on our t.v. . do we speak
10:12 am
your language of the will or not at the end of. the news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn to angles hidden stories. for you here. in troy spanish to find out more visit. welcome back you're watching r.t. international ongoing u.s. airstrikes on geodes in iraq have not contained or broken the momentum of the militants according to the pentagon washington has so far been reluctant to launch another ground invasion but is now beefing up the flow of weapons to the region
10:13 am
u.s. officials say they're seeking to further undermine a so-called islamic state by arming kurdish resistance fighters in northern iraq so far they are only sending light weapons and ammunition but the kurds also one rocket launchers and tanks as it is going to reports some of the weapons used by the jihad as were also made in america. 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 it's the the minorities from many areas in kurdistan or south of go to stan and now they're attacking 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
10:14 am
flooding an already deeply divided country with more weapons to back fire in the future. there is no american military solution to life i think 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 cessation of the kurds will be brought on light to bring the region several days and multi-ethnic cities as well as major oil they see both kurdish and testing shared tory 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 hard. on the u.s. military pulled out of iraq in two thousand and eleven but left
10:15 am
a deadly legacy more than nine billion dollars worth of weapons washington armed immoderate antacid forces in neighboring syria but jihadist went on to seize some of the weapons when these like state militants are all of the across northern iraq the also captured some american weapons there and with u.s. arms on. already on both sides of the barricades in iraq washington is now sending weapons to the kurds who are fighting against the jihad as but who also want independence from baghdad let's now get reaction from foreign panag on alice michael of michael things so much for joining us here on r.t. so it looks like the u.s. state department has come out with its own theory on how these jihad is how vote came about in the first place let's take a listen isis started really gaining strength in syria when a side a facilitated their rise helped facilitate their movement into iraq and gave them
10:16 am
a security environment in which they could operate prime minister maliki has been fighting a very serious battle against him in his own country yes he could have governed more inclusively but that's very different than allowing his terrorist group to flourish and indeed supporting them. you say you facility did move from syria through i mean did you provide the withdraw and transportation things don't have more specifics for you than that so you don't think that the syrian regime was actually fighting a civil. look i know that they supported their rise and they helped facilitate them into iraq i know that. all right michael now that we've heard this version what is your take on this. well i think it's unfortunate that she has that she's ignorant ignorant of history. the rise of isis and the and the sunni radical elements there that also it all really began when the united states invaded iraq and march of two thousand and three and almost immediately on style islam and and the al qaeda in iraq began to form to come up with the resistance form. a group
10:17 am
that would take them on and and ultimately begin to fill the vacuum once the united states left this is been ongoing the fact. in iraq issued two thousand and ten paper which the intelligence community has had for quite some time and that outlined what their strategy and tactics really are going to be and the intention was to take over iraq and and also alternately into syria and later into the entire levant and it's true that the united states has aided and abetted the. development of these. islamist groups through turkey through through jordan and in order to oppose. syrian president assad but the reality the reality is that they basically overcame any opposition and took over took their took their weapons and there's been instances of them
10:18 am
forcibly taking those weapons and then using them and and so consequently the united states has confronted its own weapons well michael you know what are their risks actually here that we're facing i mean the jihad is have already captured plenty of american weapons in syria and iraq but what are the risks of sending even more arms to the region well. the kurds have got to defend themselves we have a common problem now and it's and it's isis and it's not just a terrorist group it is an army it is a very mobile. blitzkrieg type of army fast reaction they're very knowledgeable they're very savvy they are using modern tactics and they and their the size and the areas that they area that it they've now taken over
10:19 am
to establish its caliphate is at least the size of great britain so they they are very formidable and the people on the ground in iraq right now are incapable of matching them in any way shape or form and the and unless we provide in fact i think it's not just the united states it should be involved it should be the world community including russia to assist iraq in fending off the islamic state because it is clearly a threat to the region and ultimately to the world and they've demonstrated that they've even said that they intend to occupy areas and bring them under their newly established caliphate so i think it's not just to us by no the russians also provided jets to to the iraqi forces i think we need to i think in spite of the problem in ukraine i think the united states nato and and russia need to come together against a common threat and isis is going to be a threat already as
10:20 am
a threat because the chechens that are included in there in isis so it's not just a u.s. problem any longer even though we helped create them contrary to what the state department flack had to say but the reality is that isis exists it is a formidable military force today and the world needs to come together it's even though in spite of what mr obama wants to do and and basically keep. an arm's length thing it's as though it's the united states pulls out at this point the world becomes even more dangerous so we're sort of getting sucked back into it and we have no choice because we helped create the problem in the first place well it sounds like a tangled web we got to remedy it thank you so much for it in your thoughts and insight with us here on your international there was michael maloof former pentagon analyst talking to us here in our senior national thank you now washington's number one european ally is also weighed in the u.k. sending three fighter jets to iraq let's cross now to our london correspondent paul
10:21 am
the boy who has more on this well paul why is downing street sending military aircraft of the war zone now. these royal air force fighter jets have left the u.k. and they're on their way to an aria base in cyprus now knows not clear exactly how many of them are waking their way over there but there are checked is to get aid to tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of refugees that are trapped on a mountain in northern iraq now these refugees are from the religious group this is a people that have been brutally brutally assaulted by isis fighters in recent weeks they have said to have been tearing through their villages and just murdering hundreds of people and a huge number of them are now stuck on this amount
10:22 am
a sin with no food and water so crucially these are going to be providing aid but they also need to be carrying out surveillance before they drop these aid packages because the area is so overcrowded and so densely packed with refugees that they don't want to. kill anybody while while they want to help and deliver that eight but politically this is a very big development for the u.k. philip hammond the foreign minister is it is chairing a emergency committee cobra meeting today we've also had from the ministry of defense reassurances that this is only a humanitarian mission but we do know that that surveillance there are reports that the surveillance that these jets carry out will be shared with the u.s. that we know has been carrying out strikes against isis militants in kurdistan we
10:23 am
also know that parliament could be recalled so that members of parliament can discuss the ongoing crisis. or of how he will certainly watch develop is there but thanks for bringing us the latest reporting from london and online for you on our website a fractured report on fracking the u.k. government to delete some key passages from what was supposed to be an unbiased study on the controversial shale gas extraction method. plus having the guts to try and copy spider-man doesn't mean you'll have the skills and attempts to climb between two buildings some power cables almost went terribly wrong or this russian they're a devil that's archie on you tube to see why. now how long would you survive in a siberian forest surround by wolves and bears with nothing but the clothes on your
10:24 am
back a little girl spent eleven days wondering in the wilderness before being rescued are going off tells us how she managed to fend for herself for so long. a story straight out of jungle book becomes news bombshell around the world eleven days and nights in one of the most dangerous places in russia the siberian guide harsh impenetrable forest infested with bears wolves and other wild predators but remarkably this three year old girl survived eating wild berries drinking river water and sleeping in the long grass temperatures dropped to a chilling five degrees celsius but thankfully corrina that puppy kept her warm the girl wandered off from home following her father one on a trip to another remote village her mother actually thought they'd gone off together but four days later when the parents got in touch with each other they realized to their horror that their little girl was missing and that's when the search operation began with despite using drones and helicopters hunters and special police forces weren't able to locate the girl until more than
10:25 am
a week after she went missing when her puppy came back home at first they were devastated thinking this bat was green his only chance to stay warm but it was the hero we prudes which led the search teams to the girl astonishingly the child's only injuries were mosquito bites and scratches to her feet kareena was given food and water and taken to hospital and doctors say the girl now just needs a good rest at home and some quality time with her family. and a quick recap now bro breaking news this hour kiev has confirmed it's detained a russian photographer in ukraine understand one missing in the country's east a week ago and he's now apparently been charged with aiding terrorist ukraine have previously denied reports that he was being held by its security services and colleagues of the thirty three year old journalist have been drawing public attention to his plight with on line campaign hash tag free andrew the un expressed

its hope that their news agency will be found safe reporter will be found say the new york based committee to protect journalists is calling for stand ins immediate release and here's a reaction from human rights watch stressing that under he has to be free because there have been no charges pressed against him there within security watchdog also insist he has to be released condemning the practice of arresting journalists and after the break here to international report looking at rape culture in american colleges to save 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
10:27 am
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 now 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 just why does the us need to infiltrate cuba and by what right cuba doesn't have nukes put it 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.
