homes behind them they do not know what tomorrow holds in store but at least they say they wore his now behind them review notion our t. in ukraine and russia. here this sending mixed messages about the whereabouts of missing russian journalist andre stern in as international pressure grows for his release officials originally denied detaining the photographer but here's what an advisor to hear the interior minister told allow the radio station on tuesday. to warn them russian men who will be looked after. and tonga shanker added that andre is being held because he's suspected of aiding terrorists but when his employer the real novas the news agency asked for a comment the ukrainian official made quite a u. turn. piece of the poor football of course if you're on the horse far

short of the right look at the polls. the thirty three year old journalist has been missing for more than a week and rights groups are lining up in supports the committee to protect journalists says a few craning authorities are holding him reporter should be released immediately while honesty international is also voicing concern stressing that journalists shouldn't have any restrictions in their work and there is a statement as well from reporters a committee it says that journalists must be free to cover. all of it without being punished for doing that job. and will keep you posted on what is happening with understanding over at r.t. dot com we've lined up a collection of some of the photojournalist most acclaimed documenting events in k. have an eastern ukraine. the united states is sending one hundred thirty additional advisors to iraq's

kurdistan to help troops counter the islamic states insurgency president obama insists they will not be involved in combat operations washington announced it will directly on the cards with light weaponry and i mean you can explains why the u.s. is so keen on protecting the minority. the militants of the islamic state have been seizing control of vast swathes of iraq for months now but when they approached its kurdish region the u.s. took action this is a humanitarian issue of great consequence for all or the militants threat not just the people of the kurdish region but also its oil production since the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three iraq's kurdistan has seen a boom in energy production us energy giants exxon mobil and chevron are among the many oil and gas firms large and small now drilling there seems that. american

oil companies operating in the kurdish region in the north of iraq had some weight and it was one of the main considerations obama administration. took so why is thinking about the engagement of turkey in iraq this month the same i autonomy as region has shown to be friendly to the u.s. and to u.s. business but the oil rich kurdistan has long sought to break away from iraq it has now moved to sell crude independently from bogged down arguing that the central government doesn't give the region its fair share of oil revenue and leave the onslaught of the islamic state in the political turmoil in baghdad many kurds see an opportunity to finally carve out a homeland by exclusively supporting the kurdish region washington may fuel their cause but the kurdish region is functional the way we would like to see it and it is tolerant of other sects and other religion. in a way that you would like to see elsewhere so we do think that it's important to

make sure that that space is protected the obama administration likes the way kurdistan functions but doesn't like the way iraq as a whole functions the obama administration denies that it gave up on the central government in baghdad moving to directly protect u.s. interests with humanitarian situation so dire and the threat posed by the islamic state still imminent america's increased involvement may not have much opposition now even if the eventual outcome will be the breakup of iraq in washington i'm going to check out our team. of former u.s. congressman and presidential candidate ron paul spoke exclusively on the prospects for america's latest moves in iraq he told us the united states risks sinking deeper into the conflict and that's it leaves iraq he said deal with the islamic state on their own or the kurds have always had this reputation of being great fighters and that they're very good day out in town and i'm surprised that they

haven't retaliate a little bit better but one of the reasons why they haven't done very well is that i says ended up getting a lot of weapons from us and if they captured weapons they've got him out of syria and i'm sure there are some that came from libya so they're well armed so we haven't done the kurds any favor whatsoever so i think the sooner we get out there in the better i think the policy that we should follow is one designed to allow the iraqis to solve all their problems and stay out of this let them deal with it because we've tried for a long time we've lost a lot of lives spent a lot of money and we allowed a mess to develop and there's nothing about amassing chaos there and in a way you were partially responsible for. the record number of illegal african migrants are heading to europe this year more in the struggle to hold back the tide . in just a moment including the latest mass aboard a storming incident also i. were angry

crowds refused to be quelled over the police shooting of unarmed black teenager in a few minutes we'll take a closer look at how office is hiding the situation. that nixon decided to close the gold window and turn the monetary system into a painting on a dollar bill in exchange for this deal with a fee on the u.s. economy would never end we were told we could lead lives to balance currency without cost. i've got news for you the portrait of uncle sam has been hit in the basement of fort knox behind the barbarous relic cult gold and that portrait of multiple some monetary departure e fiscal murder empires of dead and banking immorality.

but you got a lot of sneering and negative for your engagements here in russia especially public appearances with food and even though they weren't explicitly political you were just supporting sports. people has become very adept at is controlling the media for example. c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like you know i think you have an agenda i think . is is bought and paid for.

russia is taking mcdonald's to court today the fast food giant is accused of violating the country's nutrition and safety codes in some of its products which could see some of the chains most popular burgers and shakes disappear from russian menus well cesar in english is live now to bring us more arena good to see why exactly is it then the consumer watchdog has lost its opposite from donald's. well it comes after an inspection they have carried out a couple of months ago in a city of. not too far from moscow now they have now they have found that apparently in some of the most popular products such as filial fish or chicken burgers or milkshakes nutritional value is actually substandard and does not

correspond to what mcdonald's claims its to be at least that's what is the consumer watchdog is saying and they are actually filing a lawsuit trying to ban the sale of some of mcdonald's most popular products in the country now this is not the first time that when donald itself in hot water in russia there have been issues where the donald's food before apparently there have been a call of bacteria found in sound. it's products that use. their burger meat but this is the biggest threat to mcdonald's as i feel it's coming from the consumer protection agency now when it comes to mcdonald's itself they are saying that they have not heard anything about the lawsuit for the past twenty five years mcdonald's says they have been working in russia and they have been trying to comply with the country's regulation moreover they have added that calculations of energy and iteration of values have been based on the methodology approved by the russian agencies now this of course comes on the heels of

a trade war there seems to be erupting between russia and the european union in which a lot of the people are finding themselves to be involved as are going off is now reporting for the past few months we've definitely been witnessing a rising tensions between russia and the west but what's happening now is already being described by many as a full blown trade war first in late july the e.u. slapped russia with getting a whole sectors of its economy four major banks were hit and one airline was completely grounded but then russia announced countermeasures banning the import of billions of euros worth of fruit vegetables meat dairy and other products european producers are the worst hit and brussels has to compensate the losses the problem is the size of its emergency fund is around four hundred million euros while the estimated damage may reach five billion we are going to lose one point three million euros we're relatively small business imagine the other big firms such as

like to lease which send several trucks a week. it's going to. it will take two or three months to go look the remaining crop and we don't know what will happen if no one buys it. now we're in a bad economic situation more than two hundred families have been destroyed we will have damage in excess of eight hundred fifty thousand yours if nothing is changed we are in a desperate situation next to russia starts negotiations with latin america specifically ecuador brazil chile and argentina to meet the new eight percent shortfall in imports according to the financial times the e.u. me start trying to talk some of the states out of upping trade with russia perhaps promising to open its market to their products but here is the ecuadorian embassador to russia's thoughts on this i think the current situation creates great opportunities for ecuador what it would have been unwise to pass up such

a chance to diversify and expand our trading capabilities especially having received an offer to become a privileged partner with russia. some business analysts in the west have now started wondering how wise was it to start playing this game of tit for tat sanctions the sanctions will they really work and we don't think they will and we've all been working in the russian market probably now for the last twenty years and times have always been difficult to do russian business in russia but i don't think the sanctions will really help and we just wanted to sort of voice could well be job losses coming along we heard that j.c. big. reported that he potentially could lose. orders as a result of the sanctions and as a result of that would lose jobs over here watching this economic battle swing back and forth like a pendulum one is reminded of newton's famous law every action has an equal and opposite reaction which a school be the last to retaliate is very hard to predict right now. in other news
