it would be true. for us to. drop to. france as it will join us in arming kurds in iraq as washington and its allies get ever deeper involved in the conflict. at least three people are killed as ukraine's army palin's the outskirts of the nets with shells the u.n. says more than two thousand people have already been killed in the conflict. and the e.u. is reportedly pressuring other countries not to expand their trade with russia as moscow's food bargo takes its toll we take a look at how the trade wars are affecting europe's economies.

seven pm in moscow which nineteen are national with me or even josh welcome to the program one more of america's allies are getting involved in iraq and france says it will now join the u.s. in sending weapons to kurdish resistance forces in their fight against islamic jihad as you know while the british prime minister has cut short his holiday to deal with a rocky crisis and here's our london correspondent. the prime minister has just been speaking about the desperate humanitarian situation in northern iraq where the refugees are trapped on that besieged mountain and david cameron has said that the u.k. focus remains on sending humanitarian supplies and the government is also clinton plaiting trying to airlift refugees using r.a.f. helicopters from that besieged mountain in northern iraq but the heat is by no

means the prime minister he's under growing pressure to launch air strikes over iraq a growing number of politicians have been calling for it in recent days and yesterday our tornado jets were sent to cyprus and then on to iraq to assist with. drops of humanitarian aid but technically the choice of those tornado jets is is interesting because if the government decided to change its mind or to suddenly step up its involvement they could very quickly do so tornado jets capable of carrying out surveillance missions which is what they're doing right now but they can also be bolted to carry bombs pretty quickly so fronts announced just a little bit earlier that they would be supplying weapons to kurdistan and the calls here in britain are growing for britain to follow suit to do the same to accompany us as strikes and to step up its involvement but at the same time

a number of voices that are very wary of so-called mission creep in this situation with iraq especially given britain's legacy of its involvement in the very recent past. meanwhile the u.s. is expanding its own intervention in iraq washington is sending an additional one hundred thirty military advisers and combat troops but claims they won't be taking part in the fighting there u.s. already carried out a handful of airstrikes on jihadist forces in northern iraq but said that wasn't are just getting chicken there's more on the motives for america's involvement. 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 hardest forces in iraq are probably the strongest the hardest forces in the region in the world they are equipped with a vast american weapons and that's how they were able to ethnically and the

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 if there is no american military solution for a shift 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 dropped would like to bring the region several days and multi-ethnic cities as well as major oil they see both kurdish and testing cared for 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 our. former u.s. congressman and presidential candidate ron paul spoke exclusively to our t. on the prospects for america's latest moves in iraq he told us the united states risks sinking deeper into the conflict unless it leaves iraq used to deal with the islamic state on their own. 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 isis 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

to 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 it's nothing but a mess and chaos there and in a way we're partially responsible for that washington's policy on dealing with the hottest has proven inconsistent and is only lead to more problems that's according to former u.s. state department official and iraq veteran matthew. what the impact of this now it's for the u.s. to get involved is you have a lot of people in the u.s. a lot of them for the congress who feel like we still have to win in iraq we have people whose legacies are tied up in the whole history of modern iraq and they somehow have to weigh in as well as we have a very very strong brand of intervention in both the democratic and

republican parties a year ago at this time we had very prominent members of congress people within the obama administration who were arguing that we need to get involved in the syrian civil war now if we had done that we basically would have been on the side of isis in syria now here year later we're saying that we have to intervene in iraq to fight isis we have a very confused foreign policy that is contributing problems that by our meddling is making things worse on the way violence sweeps the streets of a missouri suburb as locals rage for the third night over the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by an american cop. the u.n. says more than sixty people a day are killed or wounded in east ukraine with an estimated two thousand people now having lost their lives in the conflict meanwhile cave says it's moving more closely and on the encircled towns of demand and lugansk at least three people have

lost their lives in renewed army attacks on the outskirts of deniece a market and several apartment blocks were pounded by shells in the main square it's thought a nineteen year old man and an elderly woman are among the victims and many have now been left homeless as a result of the latest bombardment the conflict has led tens of thousands across eastern ukraine to flee. followed some of those leaving their homes in the city of lugansk. valentino is alone in her dark apartment in the ganske packing they has been no electricity in most of the city for almost two weeks now and the shelling continues. but indiana has already sent her daughter and her granddaughter to family friends in a russia they didn't see each other for a month we'll meet her when she's getting ready to follow them we will company her all the way to the border.

in good books of the new 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 are very ingenious husband was due to come back from a trip to their country house this morning 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 my the 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. an indian or puts in her girl's winter clothes and finishes packing she leaves her home with six bags and a very heavy heart. zenaida from the guns krege and has cancer her home was shelled twice but she tries to remain body and but even her up to me soon was not enough to

do with what she saw that day that convinced her she can stay in lugansk 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 show exploded right behind me five people died one man had his head blown off 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 but she was this for their peaceful people here zenaida leaves and just like many others hopes to come back but she fears that you would never be able to do so. well we talked as he needed but in tina reunites with her husband and three 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 anger despair and hope as these people turning the page of their lives so later valentino and her husband will spend some time in this refugee camp at the russian ukrainian border until they manage to get to their final destinations joining thousands of others who have fled eastern ukraine living their lives and homes behind them they do not know what tomorrow holds in store but at least they say their war his now behind them. and ukraine and russia. and this is a graphic video we have received from new square up to fifteen ukrainian soldiers were reportedly killed after their bus was attacked by local resistance fighters

some media suggest those on the vehicle were fighters from the radical right sector group it stopped the bus mistakenly arrived at an anti-government checkpoint after being sent to the wrong location. journalists around the world have voiced their anger over the disappearance of a russian photographer in ukraine the thirty three year old andries stanton has been missing for more than a week rights groups are joining the efforts to get him released while the committee to protect journalists says that if it rains authorities are holding him they should release him immediately amnesty international is also on alert stressing of that journalists should face any restrictions in the or work on the reporters committee it says media workers are a must be free is to cover all controversies without being penalized in such a harsh manner for doing their jobs well here's a some of andre's most acclaimed to work and he is known for always holding his

camera even in the most severe conditions his latest pictures were taken in eastern ukraine where he was documenting the horrors of war standing also at work she had earlier this year capturing the most dramatic moments of the fab you recall we've put up an album off his work for you on our two dot com. russia's humanitarian aid is just hours away from arriving at the border with ukraine a three kilometer long convoy set off from the moscow region on tuesday the trucks are carrying power generators hundreds of tons of products baby food water medical supplies and sleeping bags russia has confirmed the mission is being fully coordinated with kiev and the red cross which has been supervising the proceedings and then the tit for tat sanctions over ukraine the e.u. is reportedly trying to talk lead america out of closer cooperation with russia and

we'll bring you the latest from the front lines of the trade war after the break. on stocks rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want.

on marriage and the financial world. series to go home and have a nonstop exemption only takes no demand to credit good good. in life there are good and there are books. welcome back this is our team now there are dark days ahead for finland economists say the country's having four years of recession the tit for tat sanctions with russia are hitting the nordic country hard and it could take a decade to recover it was kind of looks 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 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 or so those 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 euros of nothing has 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 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 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 opposite reaction which just will be the last to retaliate is very hard to predict right now i asked a spokesperson of the european commission peter style about whether the e.u. is really pressuring their gundry's not to up their trade with russia in the wake of moscow's food embargo p r explaining the situation how the situation came let's say they were the reasons for the situation and we are basically explaining them in . our view was that it's not too beneficial even for them to try to benefit from the current circumstances but in the end it is also looking at is that again you

are pressuring their partners because our own reasons what you do is your decision but you should be a very bold thinking about our values about our people and about the current situation. russia's defense ministry says that moscow is in full compliance with the intermediate range nuclear forces straight out a sign with the u.s. last month washington issued a damning report accusing moscow violating the deal by allegedly testing a banned cruise missile russia's deputy defense minister spoke exclusively to r.t. the last. g g was brought up was in late two thousand and thirteen issues over there jim date will do you see as the deal was that the united states officials to refer to recently we have looked into the united states goes so instead of the russian side provided to to be explanations which seems to have cities fired a long way to come cold but at the time at least that's what they told us it was

very much surprised when i make out i've come to parts ignored do dispute resolution procedures provided in the treaty and choose to see leak on grounded because issues to the press that don't suit is a simple message that we love you a sleaze and allegation is awful and to russian company a lesion by washington in connection with a real crisis. now gorbachev and ronald reagan signed a landmark agreement in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven if for have its nuclear and conventional ground launched missiles with ranges between five hundred and fifty five hundred kilometers the i.n.f. treaty played a key role in ending the cold war elsewhere around the world a regional train has been derailed by a landslide in the mountainous region in switzerland on the line connecting the
