3:09 am
fight the spread of pro islamic state material has become a major concern factor anti terror police in the u.k. i thought ok this is wrong something else going on i was very angry i mean. i was trembling there using the democratic. that situation and freedom in order to promote something against it which is really really dangerous in one east london housing estate this black flag closely resembling that of jihadist groups was seen hanging above the gates for several days the highly provocative gesture tech pace as the islamic states murderous campaign has left thousands of refugees stranded in northern iraq r e s tornado jets have been sent to support a drops for refugees and to carry out surveillance operations it's also of course
3:10 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 a point where they deem strikes to be necessary it wouldn't require much modification at all the jets would be a very quick resource to be there for quite a major is a bizarre mix to force a real show rampage through iraq have been splashed across the media and it starring public opinion where the 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 deeply unpopular 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 there is also
3:11 am
a sense that because of the iraq war. 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 on certain issues 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. see london. the un has declared the highest level of emergency in iraq warning of thousands of years e.d. and christian refugees trapped by jihadists on months in jail facing imminent genocide within days the u.s. helicopter delivering food to the area led to desperate crowds rushing to the yeah croft begging the crew to take them to safety the pentagon says an evacuation is
3:12 am
not necessary because far fewer people are under siege than previous and thoughts after thousands managed to miss. to safety. often our western nations are trying to get weapons a to cut a stock which has long wanted autonomy from iraq and other territories the us was first off the hardware the cia providing the combination with a light weapons and ammunitions fronts which has only had a hard humanitarian involvement before has also agreed with baghdad to supply some weaponry while the united kingdom is helping transport soviet era weapons from eastern europe foreign policy expert robin i meant told us what he thinks is behind the western support for iraqi kurds. there are only resolved obviously people in resolve issues between the regional government of kurdistan and the central government in baghdad and you arm you know one side for a battle that's going on now you're arming them forever the kurds it will have
3:13 am
always been seen to have 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 besides. humanitarian motivations that are being stated one key thing is the concern about the northern iraq it will fields of this is something the british and french are also concerned about the oil fields in northern iraq possibility that this one exteriorize say as the world threaten or to control of iraqi oil fields. japan is paying compensation for crimes committed by u.s. military personnel it's a peculiar deal that's also leaving some think tim's without justice we hear from one of them in a few moments. you
3:14 am
got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially public appearances but. they weren't explicit political you were just supporting sports. that certain people 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 we have an agenda i think there is is bought and paid for. do we speak your language or not a. news programs these documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn of the of angles stories. where you hear. that
3:15 am
and try to. find out more visit. japan's defense ministry has revealed it's paid out nearly four million dollars in compensation over the past decade facts events and crimes involving american military personnel around fifty thousand troops of u.s. military bases in japan in the last ten years under an agreement has to pay a quarter of the compensation for incidents that occur during u.s. military duties even if the japanese have nothing to do with them and it turns out that thousands of crimes have been committed by u.s. stuff in the time almost twenty million dollars was paid out in compensation in the four million. one of those crimes told me her story about her crusade for justice well in two thousand and two i was raped by united states military servicemen and
3:16 am
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. a list you can see is quite extensive here they're having like every every month or every couple of weeks and and i actually put this list. and i watch it you can see it's not that large but you can see i've written on and some sheets here and what is a lot of it goes on it's all a lot of this is enough this would be these a list of just the rate crimes and hour . and that would probably my would probably be quibbling to a twenty four store story building so how many of these. investigated properly do
3:17 am
you believe i mean what happened in your case properly well let's say 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 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 have resumed firing of guards shortly after rockets were fired into southern israel both sides had just agreed to a new five day cease fire hours before the existing truce was due to expire a middle east correspondent paula slayer reports what's in the new agreement. the purpose of these ceasefires and truces are essentially on the one hand to allow for
3:18 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 indirect 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 a.t.'s seize on the gaza strip what we understand in terms of an agreement that is on the table is that some progress 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 end of anti missile defense system and
3:19 am
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 skill it's . news from around the world now brazil presidential candidate eduardo compass 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 santos 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 council campaign events compass was running third in opinion polls the election which takes place in october. hospital in the united states state of nebraska. has been flooded after heavy rain for
3:20 am
a security camera captured the moment a wall of water you can see there 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. have also enjoyed heavy rain and flash floods the u.s. sanctions may be taking a toll on the world's industries but some navigating the storm and even making a few dollars the moves have set companies on a hiring spree 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 but 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
3:21 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 on the 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 issues is now among the most 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
3:22 am
it also provides well paying career opportunities for those who helped compose those sanctions in washington i'm going to check on our team. well the number of individuals and businesses by and by the u.s. is nearing six thousand most good news for the banks and investment firms paid to find ways around the intricacies of the rules but not for average consumers as libertarian economist new rockwell explains it say you know because of the crony kind of system with god so you have big companies big bankers for whom you could be big business. the government is the right so it's not a healthy system it's really good. economic reform fascism this is true of the centers for disease control it's true of the federal trade commission of the we can down the consumer product safety commission but not on the list of all these regulatory agencies ploys who are involved in creating the regulations go to work
3:23 am
for those but so i would say you know all the bad people are benefiting the good people are being hurt and sanctions are the harley wrong apparently immoral as international law is always held by the law that says the equivalent of bombing somebody because there are very very serious danger is a rotten things with the u.s. government to be doing. now there's a first for feminism of the nobel awards this year iranian scientists has become the first woman to receive the prestigious prize in mathematics and the full story on a website called also that revealing the secrets of the most complex of nature his creations us scientists have developed three d. tissue that could help understanding of how minds work. action movie star time campaigner steven seagal tells well how to build a bridge of trust between moscow and washington stay with us.
3:24 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
3:25 am
when they have to dodge police just for walking down the street in their own home 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 up a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. please .
3:26 am
stop rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't afford college different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still paints tear jerking poetry keep. or if. we post only what really matters. to your facebook you st. hello and welcome to the park it's
3:27 am
a pall that seems unrealistic even by hollywood standards russia and the united states get so frustrated with each other that that diplomatic communication is cut to a bare minimum until one famous actually makes a couple of calls here and there on souths everything steven seagal played out ball in real life and he joins us now on worlds apart mr seagal thank you very much for your time now one of the first guests on the show was dana rohrabacher senator from california who came to moscow in june he was investigating suspects looking for information about suspects and their boston marathon bombing but he told me back down that that trip would have been possible without your participation how did you become such an unlikely cultural ambassador for the two countries i think today in a been friends for a long time and. he knew my relationship with russia for
3:28 am
a long long time he knows that i go back in russia a long time in that i have a lot of friends here some of whom are very powerful and influential where he also believes that i have insight into the. culture the heart of russia and the people who are running the country in some ways that's his opinion anyway. who we were both concerned about not only the boston bombings but anti-terrorism or terrorism in general and he asked me if. i had in the opinions on this and i said well i believe that really. the face bad and specks nots. are some of the world's leading experts on. on terrorism and i believe that. there's a reason for that. all right and it's because you know from from before beslan through beslan up until now russia has had to deal with some of the most horrific
3:29 am
acts of terrorism in the history of mankind but what do you think it's really sad about the nature of formation should that the investor countries the greatest power us with some of the largest talks of nuclear weapons when it was basic communication wasn't possible without. participation of somebody like you who is not involved in politics you are not part of the government i think that what happened here is dana said to me. the last time i asked the cia to provide me with people in the answers they gave me people in answers that answered my questions the way they wanted it to be answered meaning the cia and the same with the state department dana knew that i knew the right people in russia and he knew that i would get them to tell him the truth and we all feel day in and i feel that russia and america have never fought each other in a war we believe that russia and america.
