2:10 am
a political statement sending a combat jet is a statement of intent in any situation to provide flexibility for the government if the situation on the ground escalates to. where they deem strikes to be necessary it wouldn't require much modification at all the jets would be very quick resourced to be there if acquired images of islamic state forces groucho rampage through iraq have been splashed across a media and it starring public opinion where in a demonstration outside downing street and you can see the signs talking about standing up to i said the u.k. prime minister is under growing political pressure to follow the lead of the us and launch air strikes to try to stop the terrorists advance that's despite lingering anger over the deep plea on popular iraq war which cost the u.k. nine billion pounds and dragged on for almost a decade iraq's current crisis has been blamed on the power vacuum the war created
2:11 am
there is also a sense that because of the iraq war this is you know this is the west responsibility many people consider that of course as the alternate few that the west has already been into iraq and it hasn't worked out so they should just stand back but again there is pressure from both sides and certainly huge pressure from within iraq from the kurdish reason regions that desperate for us strikes so far the u.k. government is limited itself to providing humanitarian assistance but with growing concerns over the islam mix states reign of terror and over the spread of extremist ideology at home westminster could be forced to reconsider i put the boy coati london. the un has declared the highest level of emergency in iraq warning that thousands of years eating in christian refugees trapped by jihadists on mount st john faced imminent genocide within days the u.s. helicopter delivering food to the area led to desperate crowds rushing to the aircraft begging the crew to take them to safety the pentagon says an evacuation is

been seen long been seen in the west as a more reliable partner better fighters militarily more cohesive politically of course there are other issues at stake here. humanitarian. motivations that are being stated one key thing is the concern about the northern iraq it will fields of this is something that the british and french are also concerned about the oil fields and in northern iraq possibility that the islamic state or i say yes that would threaten or take control of iraqi oil fields. to pad his paying compensation for crimes committed by u.s. military personnel and it's a peculiar detail that's also leaving something times without justice we hear from one of them a few months. on

marriage in the financial world. act is to go at it and stop immediately take it no demand for credit you're not going to get any economic benefit in life there are there are fucked. there's a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motion secure. your party is it. seems that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politic. we speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on the. reporting from the world talks to vo ip interviewers intriguing story
2:15 am
for you to. see arabic to find out more visit our big. dog called. japan's a defense ministry has revealed it's paid out nearly four million dollars in compensation over the past decade for accidents and crimes involving american military personnel around fifty thousand u.s. troops out in japan in the last ten years under an agreement japan has to pay a quarter of compensation for incidents the u.s. military duties even if it has nothing to do with them and it turns out that thousands of crimes have been committed by u.s. stuff in that time almost twenty million dollars was paid out in compensation many four million about by japan a victim of one of those crimes told me a story about how a crusade for justice. well in two thousand and two i was raped by united states
2:16 am
military servicemen and at that time i thought that perhaps i was the only person who was a victim and then i i did so much research and i have i have this here before me is the list of nine hundred forty five the this is only the rape cases alone that have happened since the one nine hundred forty s. and the list you can see is quite extensive here they're having like every every month or every couple of weeks and i actually put this list. and i brought it you can see it's not that large but you can see i version on one some sheets here and what is what is on the list goes on it's all laid out a lot of this is enough this would be these a list of just the rate crimes and okayed hour. and that would probably my would probably be quibbling to a twenty four store story building so how many of the. investigated properly do you
2:17 am
believe i mean what happened in your case properly well so for example since the nine hundred fifty s. there's been about two hundred thousand crimes and accidents that have been caused by united states military service men. and in my case. you know nobody wanted to help me nobody wanted to listen and the united states military has claimed and has blatantly told the entire world that they are a zero tolerance to rape cases. and they're helping rape victims but that is completely the opposite they have not helped me at all israeli defense forces of regime firing of gaza shortly after rockets were fired into southern israel both sides have just agreed a new five day cease fire hours before the existing truce was due to expire or middle east correspondent paula reports now what's in the new agreement. the purpose of these ceasefires and truces are essentially on the one hand to allow for
2:18 am
humanitarian aid to be brought into the gaza strip where the situation is dire indeed and for days we've been hearing from humanitarian organizations that a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding but even more importantly to allow for the facilitation of talks to take place now for three days the two sides have been holding in direct talks in cairo the stumbling points essentially have been israel's insistence that gaza be demilitarized and at the same time hamas is insistence that israel lift its atheist see on the gaza strip what we understand in terms of any agreement that is on the table is that some focus has been made there are border crossings that have been lifted the kerem shalom crossing for example which is one of the main border crossings between israel and gaza has doubled the number of trucks that are allowed into gaza each day however just two hours before that seventy two hour cease fire was due to expire there were three rockets that were fired at israel one was intercepted by the iron dome anti-missile defense
2:19 am
system and another two landed in open fields causing no injuries now must deny it that it fired those rockets but there have been two other armed groups from gaza who have taken responsibility israeli defense forces has also sent its troops to the israel gaza border just in case the ceasefire doesn't hold and the situation is skillets. more news from around the world now brazil a presidential candidate eduardo come past has died in a plane crash along with four other passengers and two pilots the private jet came down in bad weather in a residential area in the port city of sun toss on the ground six people including two children were injured and several buildings were destroyed brazil's president has declared three days of national mourning and counseled a campaign events come possibly running third in opinion polls the election which takes place in october. and the hospital in the u.s. state of new. has been flooded off the heavy rainfall
2:20 am
a security camera captured the moment a wall of water pushed through the cafeteria doors all of the hospitals kitchen and eating areas have been damaged and could take months to repair several northern parts of the u.s. and also enjoyed heavy rain and flash floods u.s. sanctions may be taking a toll on the world's industries but another gauging the storm and even making a few dollars from it the moves of companies on a hiring spree and looking for consultants to help steer them past the restrictions as you can look at how sanctions experts are now in great demand. the u.s. government is imposing more and more sanctions on nations and individuals around the globe and it's becoming increasingly difficult for businesses to navigate through those ever changing rules and. the more complicated it gets the more job opportunities for those who now work at the u.s. treasury sanctions experts are up for grabs by banks investment firms and consulting companies who want to steer clear of violations violations can be very
2:21 am
costly these days for example french bank b.n.p. recently agreed to pay an almost nine billion dollars fine for violating u.s. sanctions by processing bans transactions involving sudan and iran and cuba deutsche bank a g.'s under investigation for potential violations of u.s. sanctions the bank now plans to hire about five hundred compliance risk and technology employees in the u.s. h.s.b.c. which two years ago agreed to pay almost two billion dollars to settle anti money laundering probes in the u.s. now has at least seven former obama administration treasury officials working on financial crime or sanctions related to. active banks hiring from the government obviously private sector pays more by the way we reached out to a number of former treasury employees so now work at major corporations they either declined or never responded so the u.s. government ever expanding list of sanctions may cause headaches to businesses but
2:22 am
it also provides well paying career opportunities for those who help compose those sanctions in washington i'm going to check on our team or the number of individuals and businesses bond by the u.s. is nearly six thousand good news for the banks and investment firms paid to find ways around the intricacies of the rules but not five which can seem as libertarian economist lou rockwell explains it's you know the kind of system we've got so you have big companies big banks especially because big business. and big government against the rest so it's not a healthy system it's really. economically a form of fascism this is true of the centers for disease control it's true of the federal trade commission and we're going down the consumer product safety commission but not on the list of all these regulatory agency employees who are involved in creating the regulations go to work for those with so i would say you
2:23 am
know all the bad people have been a father and the good people are being hurt and sanctions are entirely wrong apparently immoral as your national laws are always held by the way this is the equivalent of bombing somebody these are very very serious dangerous are rotten things with the u.s. government to be doing. now there's a feminism at the nobel awards that they see an iranian scientist has become the first woman to receive the prestigious prize in mathematics to get the full story at. all so they are revealing the secrets of nature as most complex creation science has to develop three d. to shape it could help understanding of how all mine. coming up on the way of an age looks at why america's investment markets might be facing a new plight stay with us.
2:24 am
baltimore is considering making their curfew for minors even stricter for the last twenty years children caught on the street up until midnight were in deep trouble with the police but now this will be made even earlier starting at nine or ten pm depending on their age and the day of the week can the government impose a curfew on youths well yes if we think about it people under eighteen can't sign contracts join the army smoke cigarettes or vote because they're legally not responsible for their own actions so yeah that whole freedom of association guaranteed by the constitution really only applies once you're an adult who can in theory be responsible for associating with certain people on a street corner at midnight although legally this is ok ideologically there's something wrong with the idea i remember hearing in school all the talk about living in the greatest country on earth and how many freedoms we have in america but the problem is that it is hard for teenagers to believe all these nice slogans when they have to dodge police just for walking down the street in their own home
2:25 am
town getting a two hundred fifty dollar fine for leaving your house doesn't make you feel like you're living in the greatest country on earth i mean it sure didn't when they put a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. that nixon decided to close the gold window and turn the monetary system into a painting on a dollar bill and in exchange for this deal with a fee out devil the u.s. economy would never age 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 called gold and that portrait of local said my dear people chose attire haggard and ugly old dude from monetary to power tree to school murder empires of dead and banking immorality.

2:27 am
we're tracking for you today. first up the f.c.c. is looking into mutual funds that look like hedge funds and call themselves all funds so what so what are these funds or look into it ourselves coming right out and then the latest addition to the boom bust team at the octopus she is on the show today she's bringing us full report from the black cat cyber security conference and in today's big deal redacted tonight host we can't seem down with me to talk about the privatization of prison it all starts right now. you've heard of alternative music alternative culture you're even watching
2:28 am
alternative media but now we have alternative mutual funds yep welcome to you all to new you now while many investors are embracing these illiquid alternative funds the securities and exchange commission isn't so keen about the whole phenomenon the f.c.c. has launched a broad examination of alternative mutual funds in an effort to scrutinize one of the hottest and most controversial investment products offered to small investors today all funds or at liquid alternative funds have marketed themselves as a way to hedge against market risk by employing a hedge fund like strategies such as betting on some stocks and against others trading futures and using derivatives to increase leverage they're also a cheaper way for individual investors to gain access to strategies. once only available to sophisticated investors now critics say that all funds are just watered down hedge funds and individual investors might not completely understand what they're getting themselves into quickly finding themselves in over their heads
2:29 am
so far this year investors have poured roughly sixteen point eight billion dollars into these types of funds and with their surge in popularity the f.c.c. is focusing their inquiry on the liquidity of the funds their use of leverage and the degree of over say provided by the fund boards so to give you a better example of how these funds have grown so quickly when a q.r. capital now that's a pioneer in the space launched its first mutual fund in two thousand and nine it managed twenty billion dollars by the end of june of this year it was managing roughly one hundred thirteen billion dollars that's significant jump other firms like goldman sachs blackstone and bank of new york are boosting their offerings in the space as well by launching their own all funds but not all funds are on board and many financial advisors say that they won't offer alternative funds because of the complicated strategies involved in managing them and their lack of long term track record of success we just don't know their brand new.
