9:01 am
trying to from the current circumstances. more of that interview later in the program here in our national. fortune arteta national coming to you live from moscow with me marina josh welcome to the program more of america's allies are getting involved in iraq france says it will now join the u.s. in sending weapons to kurdish resistance forces in their fight against islamic state hardest meanwhile the british prime minister has cut short his holiday to deal with the crisis and let's now cross live to our correspondent poorly boyko who joins us now live from london well polly why is this rapid european response taking place now. well david cameron went straight into that cobra
9:02 am
emergency meeting as soon as he got back from holiday he'd been in portugal with this family and he came under some criticism from some members of parliament for failing to cut the trip short and come back and take charge of the government's response to the iraq crisis now at the moment british involvement has been limited to humanitarian aid drops over northern iraq where lots of refugees and been trapped on a mountain there and the ministry of defense has also sent a number of helicopters to try and get those refugees out now yesterday a number of tornado jets were sent out to cyprus and then on to iraq to help with those aid drops and the ministry of defense has reiterated that despite the type of as crossed this is still a humanitarian mission only part of the u.k.
9:03 am
but david cameron has come back to intense pressure to launch as strikes in iraq a growing number of politicians have been speaking for it's the threat of u.s. forces. discussed extensively in the media and if you look at the choice of those tornado jets it looks like the option has still been left open if they do decide to go ahead with those strikes because tornado jets a capable of carrying out surveillance missions which is what they're doing right now but they can very quickly be transformed and carry bombs and have a combat role so france has just announced that they are going to provide weapons to cut a stand and there's growing pressure here on the prime minister to step up britain's involvement but also at the same time voices that are wary of becoming in boils and another military conflict especially given the u.k.'s involvement in iraq in the
9:04 am
past. thanks so much for bringing us this update probables reporting from london. now let's get some insight and analysis from an apparent garrulous and french policy expert robert harneys well robert why paris is seeking to get what paris is seeking to gain from getting involved now. well there are a number of reasons why france is getting involved in the previous iraq intervention you will recall france was not on the military committee of nato now thanks to socrates agreement with george bush she is in washington in america the senior nato general is actually french. the french in a difficulty with their foreign policy it is very incoherent in some countries they support murderous islamic elements and neo fascists who go around killing people for no reason at all or of no apparent reason and on the other hand they preach
9:05 am
about human rights this is an issue where they can support america and appear to be on the side of the goodies if i can put it in childish terms that they're helping the kurds defend themselves against a bunch of people who have been killing children and burying people alive and so robert why is this happening now i mean we know that islamics had to hide in the ravaging iraq for a month now why did they take the u.s. and its allies so long to get involved well it's very easy to become very cynical with western foreign policy things are a terrible mess in ukraine the mh seventeen airplane that was shot down increasingly it looks as if it was shot down by the ukrainian government helped and encouraged by nato and the west the western powers are desperate to distract attention from this i just read a newspaper this morning in france a local newspaper there sure me that it was nothing whatever to do is use the
9:06 am
ukrainian government despite the fact that the internet is full of information about the fact that it is so they want to distract attention they also want to protect the oil so the kurds are there if you like is key. takers to protect the oil the kurds think they're going to hope they're going to get out of this. nation state your correspondent talk to a could his dog could just doesn't yet exist the kids hope that it will exist is this a temporary measure to control the islamic extremists and then abandon the kurds to iraq syria and turkey again or is this a genuine attempt to set up. we shall see well you know speaking of. kurdish aspiration and desire to be in a pan and i mean they have been pushing for in the pants for decades so how would how could rather a western military assistance affect the balance of power well be because of apparently had to retreat in the face of the dash is offensive i suspect this was
9:07 am
a tactical retreat to attract the support of the west and said oh oh my god we're retreating help help there you're going to lose control and we're going to lose control of the oil fields what is going to happen with these maniacs so the west's come along and say oh we've got to help you i mean it maybe you can never tell these days you maybe that because we're pushed back around the mosul dam which is a vital dam in iraq or maybe it's just play acting we don't really know but the kurds are protecting the oil fields sabbats what the west wants at the moment. all right so robert harris thanks so much for talking to us live from strasburg there was independent journalist robert harneys talking to us here in our teacher national thank you and on the way violence sweeps the streets. as locals raged for a third night over the fatal shooting of an armed black teenager by an american cop . a regional train has been derailed by

a result of the latest barmen the conflict has led tens of thousands across eastern ukraine to flee or even often a followed some of those leaving their homes in the city of danske. but in teenagers alone in her doll compartment in the guns packing they have been nobody to city in most of the city for almost two weeks now and the shelling continues. but india has already sent her daughter and her ground there to family friends in the russia they didn't see each other for a month we'll meet her when she's getting ready to follow them kompany her all the way to the border. so when you live just stop for us we wake up stand in the bread line for two hours then get a water and they have a kook a meal to eat and the same thing happens every day at this time was said in line we can only sing to the knees on the radio but in tina's husband was due to come back
9:10 am
from a trip to the country house the smalling but he's still not back. the phones are down and she has no way of knowing what's delayed him. but with daily bombings she can't help but be worried when monday says any of the there is no connection so i don't even know what happened to him maybe he went to visit his brother. but internet puts in her girls winter clothes and finishes packing she leaves her home with six bags and a very heavy heart zinaida from the guns krege and has cancer her home was shelled twice but she tries to remain buoyant but even her optimism was not enough to do with what she saw that day that convinced her she can stay in the ganske bush. i was at a bus stop and then i decided to leave for some reason as soon as i left the bus stop a shell exploded right behind me five people died one man had his head blown off
9:11 am
and a woman lost her leg took me three days to get over it she says making the decision to leave was not an easy one but it was a very quick one. it's not about the fear of death but more of outright panic was always going on which was this for their peaceful people here zenaida leaves and just like many others hopes to come back but she fears that she would never be able to do so. well we talked as he needed but in tina reunited with her husband and trade public transportation is sporadic at best and he missed his bus with no way to call home it's less than sixty kilometers from lugansk to the border but these journey might seem endless to those forced to flee. already in russia it's a mixture of pain and despair and who is these people turning to did. so

9:15 am
a situation on less all parties concerned are in the green went with how things are going to be done we don't function with on the goats where we don't function with any kind of protection through weapons we function with the protection through the agreement of those who have to go on to tell us that yes we accept your mission we accept your transport and we will make sure that you're safe. i mean the tit for tat sanctions over ukraine that you use reportedly trying to talk lead america out of closer cooperation with russia we'll bring you the latest from the front lines of the trade war after the break distinctness. but you got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially for your public appearances with food and even though they weren't explicitly
9:16 am
political you were just supporting sports. certain people's regime 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 they have an agenda i think through jim is is bought and paid for. how do you have any reality radiation is still there it's weak and it is killing our children they aren't dying also hard conditions asked no leukaemia but feel floridians are still hiding the truth for most still and i don't know why don't they have children on their own because you heard so much to know that two counts protect our children to.
9:17 am
welcome back you're watching our future national life from moscow while there are dark days i had for finland economists say the country is heading for years of recession the tit for tat sanctions with russia are hitting the nordic country hard and it could take a decade to recover looks at how the trade war is being fought. 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 i would say start getting a whole sectors of its economy for major banks were hit and one airline was completely grounded but then russia announced counter measures 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
9:18 am
while the estimated damage may reach five billion when you know we are going to lose one point three million euros but we're relatively small business imagine the other big firms such as like to lease which send several trucks a week is going to. it will take two or three months to collect our 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 your rules 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. may start trying to talk some of these 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
9:19 am
opportunities for ecuador but 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 russia business in russia but i don't think the sanctions will really help and we just wanted to sort of voice that 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
9:20 am
opposite reaction which just will be the last to retaliate is very hard to predict right now well i asked earlier a spokesperson of the european commission peter stana about whether the e.u. is really pressuring latin american countries not to up their trade with russia in the wake of moscow's foot in barga. or explaining the situation how the situation came let's say they were the reasons for the situation and we are basically explaining them it's our view that it's not too beneficial even for them to try to benefit from the current circumstances but in the end as i said you know looking at is that again you are pressuring them no we are not pressuring anyone b.c. is not human nature how do you with this really are saying to our partners these are all reasons what you do you see your decision but you should be very bold thinking about our values about our people and about the current situation. while hundreds of migrants try to jump to a better life over

drugs on victims the virus has now killed over a thousand people since march one persons died in europe a spanish priest repatriated this week after testing positive in liberia a bowler researcher dr peter walsh says a lot of cases need to be treated with experimental vaccine before it can be considered effective. the bottom line is that there's just not a market in developed countries for for drug vaccines and treatments because the disease does not occur in europe or the united states all the money that's been spent on developing vaccines and treatments has really become from the defense fund that the u.s. military in particular is worried that somebody will try to use this is a weapon and therefore they're trying to develop countermeasures to really get enough data to tell where the drugs are effective in humans you need tens of people to be treated at least just by treating two or three people you're not really going to be able to tell whether it was really affected in africa you need to just follow the bare nursery practices you know contact with somebody who shows the symptoms you wear the full suit gold goggles respirator etc there's
