siberian wilderness surrounded by walls of all thanks to a brave puppy to say. hello good evening my name is kevin when you watching r.t. international our top stories on this here's backtracked on its earlier statement that it had detained a russian photographer and ukraine understanding went missing in the country's east a week ago while his whereabouts remain unknown still kiev is apparently struggling to get its story straight now ukraine's deputy interior minister had confirmed earlier the journalist's arrest by the country's security forces in an interview with the latvian radio station adding that the thirty three year old photographer was charged with aiding terrorists however in an interview then with sterling's employer russia's written obviously news agency he probably changed his mind saying

it's a rest by the security services of his. a possibility and that he had no idea about what's really happened to the journalist will step into colleagues at ria novosti have been drawing public attention to his plight with an online campaign cash tag free andrew they also organize a flash mob as well posted pictures which soon went viral the un's express that the hope that the un report it will be found safe the new york based committee to protect journalists who is calling for stand ins immediate release and here's the reaction from human rights watch stressing that whoever's holding andre has to free him as no charges have been pressed against him the european security watchdog also insists he has to be released condemning the practice of arresting journalists full stop or care is known to have detained journalists covering events of course before just last month u.k. citizen and r.t. contributor graham phillips was seized by ukraine's security forces he said he was questioned and held at gunpoint while in captivity before releasing phillips care

would also deny detaining him we will of course bring you updates on the detention of overseas journalist andrew stern in as we get them and if anything develops throughout the evening here it's. brussels is planning to talk latin american countries out of boosting a real cultural exports to russia this according to the financial times citing senior officials nations such as brazil and chile were set to meet the shortfall when russia introduced a food and drug on a range of european products in response to e.u. sanctions more on the story than from our correspondent in berlin peter oliver. well following russia's decision to ban the import of certain foodstuffs in agricultural 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

banned foodstuffs to russia at a decent price now what we're particularly looking at is countries like brazil and chile you know brazil is already seen this is an opportunity it has long trading history with russia it's opened it's set to open around one thousand meat processing plants 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 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 would have when making a decision to impose sanctions on russia the e.u. should have realized businesses will have problems because the grocer won't 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 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 that w t o suggests and it says that nobody was complaining to the w t o when stacked sanctions were imposed on russia so what we're seeing is these things to sanctions starting to bite and the people at their impacting on the most of the farming business and the agricultural industry in europe. well those who's the head of the bridge group think tank believes the latin american countries won't bend under the pressure from brussels here. really time that the european union as well as perhaps even the united states stop dictating to other countries around the world argentina

brazil chile they're greedy it will be in their economic interest to expand their trade with russia is a very good opportunity for them to forge closer links with russia as well so really these countries will not bow to pressure other states and they will look to expand their links with russia just like china has recently done in terms of gas and oil supplies. moscow says it surprised by the confusion about its humanitarian aid to east ukraine as all details of the mission work coordinated with kiev earlier today ukraine said it's ready to accept the aid but not on russian trucks the russian foreign ministry says the cargo will be handed over to the red cross at the border as agreed with the international organization and the ukrainian authorities upon war of almost three hundred trucks carrying aid from russia is on its way to the russian border given moscow reached an initial agreement on that mission on monday a week after officials in east ukraine declared a humanitarian disaster in the city. meanwhile in kiev the parliament passed

a raft of new laws alone the country to impose sanctions against russia the new legislation allows ukraine to block and freeze all russian assets in the country can now also ban all broadcasting of russian media and block all russian activity in ukraine's internet space on top of that all transit of russian goods and even of russian citizens through ukraine can also be blocked by kiev it's yet to be decided whether any of these measures though will actually be implemented meantime in separate legislation also voted in today security personnel and given the right to shoot without warning in the rest of east. the. american military planes were busy bombing to his positions in iraq today and now washington's number one european allies also where you did the u.k.

sending at least three fighter jets to the war zone but the not officially heading there to drop bombs on them corresponding reports there are checks said 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 now 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 a sin with no food and water 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 air strikes against isis militants and. that parliament could be recalled so that members of parliament can discuss the ongoing crisis. with some reaction from entourage was jim brown who's on the line from london are there jim so right now london says it's helping the kurdish refugees the hope for do you think the british involvement in iraq is going to go. under the words. well yes i mean remember the britain pulled out a bit before the united states and i remember in fact. they were the air force public relations magazine for i think it was twenty twelve had the headline nineteen years over iraq and we know that. the americans would not have pulled out of iraq but for the fact that they couldn't get a basing agreement so they certainly have a strategic interest to be there to have

a military presence. and i think we shouldn't assume that this is something completely separate from that also we can question the humanitarian russia now because we've just apparently finished with this assault on garza which is just down the road from where the british will be biased about which the british government felt that it should not in any way intervene. and in fact just along the coast you have libya where they did intervene three years ago giving one reason and three years later the country's on the verge of civil war so we have to bear in mind these precedent when they're looking at this reason given today of course a lot of other islands in the far as well i guess some of the british government supported didn't the us in supporting the anti assad fighters those moderate rebels in syria some of them have come over the border they've now joined the islamic

state on top of that if you rewind the clock back even further of course britain was instrumental in going into iraq in the first place with american other but for a sense of guilt there do they have to they generally feel a sense of responsibility do you think you're in some way. now i'm afraid i don't think the high politics works the questions like guilt are possibly pretexts but i don't think that they are real reasons needed is a hard power calculation so they're back there for a while that. well i mean we know that they are taken collectively we know they didn't want to leave in the first place in fact you can go back to two thousand and three and go with the first. administration general garner who said. our coaling station in the real region for years to come many pointed to the philippines which had been an american base for

a hundred years at that point if the head of the occupation administration doesn't know what he's talking about then. it's not really credible so yes they they they have an interest in being in iraq and being a power in the land you see how obama talks about the government of. nouri al maliki has just appears to step down and a bomb or talks about him tells us. tells him what kind of government iraq should have speaking like a very bad headmaster and that is an indication of the way they look others are of final thought of course. in the major in the west the islamic state is being portrayed as a very horrible thing and they and indeed the way it's been going about its business how much of a danger is it to the borders outside of iraq could it could it impinges any

more on america's interests in that region and could it go further. further north basically further north and west in effect europe. i don't. see the evidence for that i don't see the evidence for. but it's the fear funny has been put in people's minds isn't it oh that's certainly true but that's that's what always happens you say we if we don't if we don't take action over there the problem will come over here but we've seen that. too many times and tried that was the reason we had to. go into iraq in the first place remember because of the threat that iraq had presented. this this question of turning the thing upside down it's. happened many

times before and do you know i think it doesn't seem to me that the so-called islamic state has an existence outside of the backing of the different forces in and outside the region otherwise it doesn't seem like a theory of the old days of history repeating itself in the jim brann from the stop the war on sea and she will coalition thank you. staying with the right washington says its airstrikes against jihadists in iraq and not enough from begins arming kurdish forces in the region after the jihad is themselves to pull the numerous weapons made in america we talk about that shortly after the break. on the air and in the financial world. it's. only take a look at me it's not going to get me like there are true or false. this

is a leave us so we leave the baby. by the sea bush and secure the. way your party is in the. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from . politics. to. choose your language. in the. place of choose the consensus. choose the opinions that immigrate to. choose the stories to. choose access to.

logan ongoing u.s. airstrikes on jihadists in iraq of not contained or broken the momentum of the militias it seems according to the pentagon washington has so far been reluctant to launch then another ground invasion but is now beefing up the flow of weapons to the region u.s. officials say this seeking to further undermine the so-called islamic state by arming kurdish resistance fighters in northern iraq so far the only selling light weapons and ammunition for the kurds also want rocket launchers and tanks results he's going to shoot you can reports next some of the weapons used by the jihadists are 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 they say hard us forces in iraq are probably the strongest the hardest forces in the region and 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 kurdistan 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 flooding an already deeply divided country with more weapons could backfire in the future. there is no american military solution. in iraq the only way. 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 of iraq would like to bring the region several days and multi-ethnic cities as well as major world holding both kurdish and testing cared for you now is pressing as the current

defense needs are the question is whether the weapons by the events today. in washington and to track down are. every side of the conflict in iraq is now using american weapons this to a close look at how the u.s. military pulled out you may recall of the country in twenty eleven but they left a deadly legacy more the nine billion dollars worth of weapons washington also on those moderate anti assad forces were talking about just now in neighboring syria in the last few years but you had this went on to seize some of those weapons to them. in the islamic state militants rolled across northern iraq they also captured some american fire there as well so all in all with us. on two sides of the barricade in iraq washington is no having to send weapons to the kurds to who are fighting against the jihadists who also want independence from baghdad a very layered picture for pentagon analyst michael maloof spoke to mccauley. said

the u.s. should help undo the messes created here it's as though if united states pulls out of 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 but your state department has come out with its own theory on how these jihad is have come about in the first place let's take a listen. bases started really gaining strength in syria when a side a facilitated their rise helped facilitate their movement into iraq and gave them 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 harris group to flourish and indeed supporting them. you're saying you facilitated the move from syria to the uk i mean do you provide the withdraw and transportation down have

more specifics for you than that so you don't think that the syrian regime was actually fighting myself. look i know that they supported their rise and they helped facilitate them into iraq i know that 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 forcibly taking those weapons and then using them and so consequently the united states has confronted its own weapons. now the stories were truck into my online few a fractured report on fracking the u.k. government delete some key passages no from what was supposed to be an unbiased study on the controversial shale gas extraction method brought the case that come

with want to check it out plus some of the guts to try and cope piece by that doesn't mean you always have the skills to do it and tend to climb trees to buildings or power cables almost went terribly wrong for this russian devil do not . vs reasons are to dot com and also on the you tube channel this. public rage in the us state of missouri spilled over into a second night of clashes with police over the fatal shooting of that unarmed black teenager by a cop officers fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters who were furious about what they called police brutality and racial profiling and this is a chicken is therefore. tensions chaos violence and really may have had been an unraveling on the streets here for these last couple of nights tear gas had been hues.

of course people have been coming out onto the street in the hundreds and 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 today tear 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 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 outreach 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 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 and huge issue in this country throughout the last several years . to see as across was developments in missouri is that how you can follow what's happening to on twitter for updates as they occur and she's also posting pictures from the scene to get follow. along with you survive here's a question in a siberian forest surrounded by yet wolves surrounded by birds nothing but the clothes on your back what a place you would want to be but a little girl spent eleven days wandering in the wilderness before being rescued. got her story. 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 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 kareen of that puppy kept her warm the girl wandered off from home following her father and one on a trip to another remote village her mother actually thought they'd gone off together but four days later when their parents got in touch with each other they realized to their horror that there were a 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 a week after she went missing when her puppy came back home at first they were devastated thinking this pet was screeners 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 you go pers kind of but the good news there for. now the united nations is from the next put panel to investigate possible war crimes by both sides two in the latest conflict in gaza but while hamas hailed the move is real slammed the queues in the future inquiry is biased before it's even started is pulis lier. 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 and 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 thank you moon has also in the past spoken out in the harshest 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 excuses the un 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. for the sneer well here's what the recent conflict with israel's cost gaza the tiny strip of land

by the sea has been left in ruins war the nineteen hundred palestinians have been killed tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed or damaged by israeli strikes universities over one hundred schools and mosques have been reduced to rubble two reports say half a million people now being displaced that's almost a third of the population and over a million people are now without access to drinking water. and it continues info live from moscow just about an hour's time off the brake they have actually stacey ruffled more feathers of more people who fiddle five ounces yet because a report lined up ready to go shortly. right. first street. and i would think that your.

reporters twitter. and instagram. technology innovation all the developments around russia. the future of coverage. i marinate join me on boom bust books in-depth impartial and financial reporting commentary interviews and much much. only on going bust and.

you got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially a public appearances with putin even though they weren't explicitly political they were just supporting sports one of the scenes that certain people who zuma has become very adept at is controlling the media for example right here c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like it is no i think is a have an agenda i think through is is bought and paid for. your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't afford college the difference is. the boss repeats the same old joke of course.
