britain says its involvement in iraq will remain a humanitarian effort but the prime minister is not ruling out deploying a limited number of non-combat troops david cameron can short his holiday for an emergency meeting on the escalating crisis in iraq's kurdistan he's under growing pressure from parliament to give the u.s. more military support and extremists are now actively recruiting on the streets of london as police reports. shoppers on london's oxford street got more than they bargained for earlier this week when they encountered men handing out flyers asking britons to join the islamic state the violent organization terrorizing northern iraq i was on oxford street with a group of friends of mine and i saw this. stance people were having like a table and they are. getting defaced of people trying to promote. the highly fight the spread of pro islamic state material has become
4:10 am
a major concern fact 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 and 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 before the highly provocative gesture to pay says the islamic states murderous campaign has left thousands of refugees stranded in northern iraq are yes tornado jets have been sent to support a drops for refugees and to carry out surveillance operations it's also of course 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
4:11 am
a point where they deem strikes to be necessary it would require much modification of the jets would be a very quick resource to be there for quite a major is a bizarre mixed of course a very chill rampage through iraq have been splashed across the media and it's 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 and that's 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 of vacuum the war related there is also a sense that because of the iraq war this is you know this is the worst responsibility many people consider that of course is the alternate view that the
4:12 am
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 a strikes so far the u.k. government is limited itself to providing humanitarian assistance but with growing concerns over the islam makes states reign of terror and david the spread of extremist ideology at home westminster could be forced to reconsider i. see london. and the un has declared the highest level of emergency in iraq warning the thousands of years e.d. and christian refugees trapped by jihad based on months in jail facing imminent genocide within days 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 now says an evacuation is not necessary because far fewer people are under siege and previously thought after thousands managed to escape to safety. often our america and some

european partners are trying to get weapons to cut a stock which has long wanted all to. providing local militia with light weapons. only ever had humanitarian involvement before has also agreed with baghdad to supply some weaponry or the u.k. is helping transport soviet era weapons from eastern europe foreign policy expert robert nyman told us the arms supplies will be another incentive for iraqi kurds to seek more independence. there are on resolve obviously deep on resolve issues between the regional government of kurdistan and the central government in baghdad it doesn't seem to be any prospect that they will do so and it doesn't have any prospect that really any outside force can physically stop iraqi kurds from declaring independence in the areas that they control the current civil have always

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

4:16 am
japan's defense ministry has revealed it's paid out nearly four million dollars in compensation over the past decade facts and crimes involving american military personnel around fifty thousand troops to u.s. military bases in japan in the last ten years under an agreement care has to pay a quarter of the compensation for incidents that occur during the us military duties even if the japanese have nothing to do with them and it turns out that thousands of crimes have been committed by us stuff in that time almost twenty million dollars was paid out in compensation nearly four million of that by japan
4:17 am
a victim of 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 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 and i actually put this list. and i brought it you can see it's not that large but you can see i've written on and 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 right crimes and hour. and that would probably my would probably be quibbling to
4:18 am
a twenty four store story building so how many of these. investigated properly do you 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. 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 on gaza shortly after rockets were fired into southern israel both sides had just agreed a new five day cease fire hours before the existing truce was due to expire they
4:19 am
cannot there now from our middle east correspondent paula slayer who joins us live paula good to see a fresh exchange of fire them between the palestinians and israel what impact might this have on the newly agreed truce. well things on the ground are a little confusing at this stage the cease fire does appear to be holding but both sides accuse the other of violating it we're hearing from him us that they say israel is continuing with its shelling of a gaza one of the same time israel is accusing her months of rocket fire at southern israel there are sirens that are currently sounding in the south of this country but it's not yet been cleared up whether in fact they were triggered by rocket fire there was a seventy two hour cease fire that was due to expire at midnight on wednesday and two hours before that expire a date went into effect there were around five rockets fired at israel israel responded by hitting some four targets in the gaza strip and also moving lising its troops on the israel gaza border so that certainly saw tensions here climb as both
4:20 am
sides started fearing that they could be a resumption of fighting all of this happens while we have these in direct negotiations taking place in cairo there is this new agreement in place for a five day cease fire and it's hoped that this time will be used so that they can be a permanent deal reached between the sides what we are hearing from the teams in cairo is that there has been significant progress but that there are still outstanding issues regarding the lifting of the seas in gaza regarding security arrangements and also reconstruction efforts inside the gaza strip. paula thank you very much artie's paulus leah. for news now from around the world in brazil presidential candidate headwater 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 santa us 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 in council campaign events possums running third in opinion polls for the election which takes place in october. a hospital in the u.s. state of nebraska has been flooded after a bout of heavy rainfall a security camera captured the moment you can see it here that a wall of water pushed through the cafeteria doors all of the hospital's kitchen and heating areas have been damaged and they could take months to repair several northern parts of the u.s. have also enjoyed heavy rain and flash floods u.s. sanctions may be taking a toll on the world's industries but some and navigating the storm and even making a few dollars from it the moves have set companies on a hiring spree looking for consultants to help steer them past the restrictions on looks 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
4:22 am
through those ever changing rules and. but 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 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 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
4:23 am
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 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 that's good news for the banks and investment firms paid to find ways around the intricacies of the rules but not average consumers as they were tearing economist new rockwell explains say you know the crony kind of system we've got so you have big companies that bank is good for the goose for big business. the government against the rest of the so it's not a healthy system it's really
4:24 am
a. economic reform fascism this is true of the centers for disease control it's true of those of the federal trade commission and we can down the road to a product safety commission but not on the list of all these regulatory agencies poisons who are involved in creating the regulations go to work 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 carly were wrong apparently immoral as international law is always held by the way this is the equivalent of bombing somebody because there are very very serious and dangerous. things with the u.s. government to do it. now there's a first for feminism at the nobel awards they see an iranian scientist has become the first woman to receive the prestigious prize in mathematics get the story at all to you don't call them. also on our website revealing the secrets of nature's most complex creation us scientists have developed three to the could help understanding of how our mind was. coming up next lifting the
4:25 am
lid on how we get the news to stay with us for the latest episode of news teams coming up after the break. 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. 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
4:26 am
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 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. 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 political you were just supporting swards one of the scenes that certain people who
4:27 am
zuma has become very adept at is controlling the media for example right here c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. news you know completely telling it like it is no i see it is a hell of a new trend i think through jim is is bought and paid for. lead. the world. lead. the. lead. in the news today amid signs of more interest for a word says syria pays to play anybody. else has red square demonstrators are feaster at least in the arcade setting up what if scenarios
4:28 am
you'll see the game i'm still. seeing already sort of. play. this is also international with twenty four hours a day live from our studio center here in moscow which just turned eight pm and six pm in kiev where the rest has reignited in the city just a day after the government's amnesty for protesters came into force. a child to circle the police line around. doing. rather bizarre thing for central keep right. on the slice to get them out of the system to get where we need to get kind of missing this target actually expected to be here at least two
4:29 am
weeks or even a month later than we are now. but it's like a constant power check you never know where it's going to go. and as far as you go i think you want to get off your ass and. i really do not find yourself in between the police and the protests. the first. rule of a riot correspondence. is if you do then your. average . no idea what audie we changed.
