your ex-girlfriend still pens tear jerking poetry keep. nora's. post only what really matters. to your facebook news feed. it's ten pm moscow the top stories tonight france says it will join the u.s. in arming kurds in iraq as washington and its allies get ever deeper involved in the come from. russia's deputy defense minister talks exclusively to see and rebuff u.s. allegations that moscow has been testing cruise missiles. into ninety seven treated with washington. more people died today as ukraine's army pounds the outskirts of donetsk with shells the u.n. says more than two thousand people have now been killed in the.

just for a good evening for me kevin though in this is r.t. international to our top story the tonight more of america's allies are getting involved in iraq says it will now join the u.s. in sending weapons to. fight against islamic state jihadists the british prime minister's cut short his holiday to deal with the iraqi crisis 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 the received mountain and david cameron has said them and his 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 arias 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. well supplied from the united kingdom meantime the u.s. is expanding its intervention in iraq washington sending an additional hundred thirty military advisers and combat troops but claims they will be taking caught in the fight saying that the rightly the u.s. already occurred at a handful of a strike some jihadist forces are moving right and said that wasn't enough is going to canonize more now than 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 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 ethnically and the minority is christian and is the the minority is from many areas in

kurdistan or south of kurdistan 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. 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 current smoking rock would lead on like to bring to the region several days and multi-ethnic cities as well as major oil holdings they both kurdish and tested shared torrie now is

pressing as the kurds defense needs are the question is whether the weapons provided the defense today. then why. and check out our. former u.s. congressman and presidential candidate ron paul spoke exclusively to see about the prospects for america's latest moves in iraq he told to stay united states risks sinking deeper into the conflict unless it leaves the rockies 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 there. 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 them 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 of

there are 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 we're partially responsible for that former u.s. state department official in iraq veteran matthew hoh agrees with roomfuls assessment he says washington's policy of dealing with this is proving consistently led to more problems. what the impact of this now it take for the u.s. to get involved is you have a lot of people in the u.s. a lot and as a 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 have very prominent members of congress people within the obama administration who are 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 all the way violence sweeps the streets of a missouri suburb again as the locals rage for a third over the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager by an american company. update next from ukraine the u.n. says more than sixty people that they killed or wounded in the east of that country with an estimated two thousand people have now lost their lives in the conflict meanwhile kiev says it's moving more closely and only encircle turns of donetsk and

lugansk today at least three people lost their lives in renewed on the attacks on the outskirts of jeanette's a market in several apartment blocks with pounded with shelves it's the nineteen year old man and an elderly woman the latest victims many have now been left homeless as a result of the latest bombardment conflicts that tens of thousands across eastern ukraine to flee rif notion of followed some of those leaving their homes in the city of lugansk. valentina is alone in her dark apartment in the gonski 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 kompany her all the way to the border.

so it's going on us. we're giving the. lead. and we learned in the last combat. but internet as 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 might this as any of the among of all that he might have it all moved with or new hope or hope by a whole world to winning tina puts in her girls 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 in 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 i soon as i left the bus stop a shell 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 there 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 riven ocean r.t. and ukraine and russia. journalists around the world voiced their anger of the disappearance of a russian photographer in ukraine thirty three year old understanding has been missing for more than a week now rights groups are joining the efforts to try to get him released these are the latest comments that have come through first of all from the committee to

protect journalists is what they're to say they said that if you create a thought his old again they should release immediately i was international alert over it as well stressing that journalists shouldn't face any restrictions in the duty of their work and another comment this is coming from the reporters committee for freedom of the press saying there that media workers must be free to cover all stories without being penalized for doing their job or some of the work that cern stand in a claim you're seeing on your screen right now he's a known for always holding up the camera even in the most severe conditions brave man at the front line there is latest pictures were taken in eastern ukraine was been documenting the ongoing horrors of the war stan has also worked in kiev as well eliot this year capturing the most dramatic moments of course of that february move we've put up an album of his work if you want to check it out it's at r.t. dot com. let's talk about the humanitarian side of it now and russia's humanitarian aid is

nearly at the border with ukraine the three kilometer long convoy set off from the moscow region on choose day the trucks are carrying power generators hundreds of tons of product baby food water medical supplies sleeping bags russia's confirmed the mission is being fully coordinated with kiev and the red cross which has been supervising the proceedings and as a say that's the convoy continuing its way there now while amid the tit for tat sanctions over ukraine the reportedly trying to talk latin america at a close cooperation with russia will bring the latest on that from the front line of the trade war but later in the program. of the story though today russia says it's in full compliance with a nuclear weapons treaty signed with washington in one thousand nine hundred seven last month the us issued a damning report accusing russia of violating the deal by allegedly testing an intermediate range cruise missile well as you can see here in the news all those

claims were quick to dominate the various american media headlines at this point russia's defense ministry spoke exclusively to r.t. today explaining why there are no grounds for blowby moscow here really has got the story russia has expressed it's a surprise that it is asians thrown at it by washington last month and in fact it turns out that this isn't the first time that the u.s. has raised such concerns they weren't even issue all last year when the minister of defense says they have addressed all of them we have looked into the united states and the russians but i did detailed explanations which seems to have satisfied our medical counterparts at the turn at least that's what they told us so you can see why moscow would be surprised at these accusations being leveled at them at this point however the minister of defense believe they know why their answer is a simple and most if a wave of u.s. claims and delegation is part of that into a russian company on

a leash by washington in connection with the ukrainian crisis the united states is a reader to exploit any means to discredit russia all now moscow says that the united states should stick to the procedure for addressing such concerns which are actually laid out in the treaty itself however the ministry also stresses that russia is ready to fully cooperate in washington to fully resolve the issue we are willing to continue our dialogue with the united states including the issue of the guardian there treaty we expect russia's so-called violations to be substantiated with. hard data rather than so-called evidence from source shoal media. images images made by commercial satellites that have no clear geographical differences now despite sticking to the treaty russia says it has its own concerns with it and that is back when the treaty was signed very few countries actually had the missiles and question now the situation has changed and

russia says the treaty should be expanded. we're going to see the kremlin's let's recap for a minute the deputy ministers main point sure he said that washington had already raised concerns about this a number of times previously the last time was in twenty thirteen then he says moscow fully address those concerns providing detailed explanations that satisfied the u.s. at the time but the state department calls that unexpectedly brought up the issue again last month or the without providing any evidence russia's deputy defense minister went on to stress that moscow has been complying fully with the treaty despite see it as being outdated and they need a revision as reno was saying that he noted that similar missiles are owned by many other countries as well and that the treaty or therefore to be broadened in scope to include them to maybe these days let's take a closer look at that treaty itself moscow and washington agreed to give up all the ground based ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges from five hundred to five thousand five hundred kilometers the removal of those weapons at the time from

europe east big fears of a possible nuclear armageddon russia and the us also agreed to inspect each other's arsenals on a regular basis to make sure that the treaties weren't being violated me maybe you'll recall it yourself when mikhail gorbachev and ronald reagan put pen to paper on that day back in one thousand nine hundred seventy it marked the first time the two superpowers agreed to reduce their nuclear arsenal the landmark agreement paved the way for the move of the types of weapons to and ultimately helped bring about the end of the cold war. and just a tip you off if you'd like to see the full interview with russia's stepper defense minister it's streaming on our website r.t. dot com thanks to choosing out international seventy minutes past ten in the evening they'll be back with more news after a short break. i was. in december. more likely to be raped in college

seems a dog days ahead for finland economists say the country is heading for years of recession the tit for tat sanctions with russia hitting the nordic countries and it could take a decade to recover his kind off looks next that 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 to 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 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. 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 russian 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 a school be the last to retaliate is very hard to predict right now because we're just spokes person of the european commission peter stan about whether the e.u. really pressured latin american countries not to up their trade with russia right now in the wake of moscow's food. we are explaining the situation how the situation came speech were the reasons will be situation and we are basically explaining them in. our view that it's not to have been done to try to benefit from the current circumstances but in the end as i said we are looking at is that again you are pressuring them no we are not listening to anyone we see is not human nature how do you with us we are sitting around. our own reasons what you do you want decision but you should be out thinking about our values about our peoples and about the current situation. public fury over the killing of an unarmed black teenager
