the islamic states murderous campaign has left thousands of refugees stranded in northern iraq r.a.f. tornado jets have been sent to support aid 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 it provides flexibility for the government if the situation the go. and 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 mixed up force is 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

5:14 am
robert nigh and told us the arms supplies will be another incentive for iraqi kurds to seek more independence. there are on resolve obviously deep on resolved 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 kurds have 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

5:16 am
5:17 am
military personnel around fifty thousand troops of u.s. military bases in japan in the last ten years now under an agreement tokyo 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 nearly four million of that by japan a victim of one of those crimes told me how story and 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
5:18 am
month or every couple of weeks and and i actually put this list. and i wote it you can see it's not that large but you can see i've written on and some sheets here and what is it on the list goes on it's all the way down the line this is enough this would be these a list of just the right crimes and i'll get our. and that would probably my will probably be equivalent to a twenty four store story building so how many of the. investigated properly do you believe i mean what happened in your case properly well so for example since the nineteenth 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
5:19 am
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 it's completely the opposite they have not helped me at all. now we've got some breaking news to bring you from east ukraine we're getting reports that over twenty civilians have been killed in lugansk which has been under heavy artillery fire local officials say the shelling has hit almost all areas of the city including the center they're calling on residents there to stay in their shelters and we'll bring you more on this as we get it here on r.t. international. israeli defense forces have resumed firing of garza 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 or middle east correspondent paula slayer looks at how the new shelling puts the shaky cease fire at risk. things on the ground are
5:20 am
a little confusing at this stage the ceasefire does appear to be holding but both sides accuse the other of violating it we're hearing from him ask that they say israel is continuing with its shelling of the guards are not at 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 clear that whether in fact that we triggered by rocket fire was a seventy two hours cease fire that was due to expire at midnight on wednesday and two hours before that expired 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 lies in its troops on the israel gaza border so that certainly saw tensions here climb as both sides started feeling 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 five days and it's hoped that this time will be used to that they can be
5:21 am
a 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 seizure in gaza regarding security arrangements and also reconstruction efforts inside the gaza strip. more news from around the world now brazil a presidential candidate had what a campus 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 sauce on the ground six people including two children were injured and several buildings were destroyed the president has declared three days of national mourning and canceled campaign events can post was running third in opinion polls for the election which takes place in october. the hospital in the u.s. state of nebraska has been flooded after heavy rainfall a security camera captured the moment a wall of water pushed through the cafeteria doors all of the hospitals kitchen and
5:22 am
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. u.s. sanctions may be taking a toll on the world's industries but some another gating the storm and even making a few dollars from the moves said companies are hiring spree looking for consultants to help steer them past the restrictions. and 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 bank but the more complicated it gets the more job opportunities but those who now work at the u.s. treasury sanctions experts are programs by banks investment firms and consulting companies who want to steer clear of violations violations can be very costly these
5:23 am
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 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 it also provides well paying career opportunities for those who helped compose
5:24 am
those sanctions in washington i'm going to check on our team. with a number of individuals on businesses from around the world who are by and by the u.s. is nearly six thousand good news for the banks on the investment funds paid to find ways around the intricacies of the rules but not for average consumers there's no battalion economist rockwell explains it's a you know the kind of system we've got so you have big companies that bankers for all the groups are big business. the government against the rest of the so it's not a healthy system it's really a. economic reform fascism this is true of the centers for disease control it's true of the federal trade commission and we can down the consumer product safety commission but not on the list of all these regulatory agencies the employees 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
5:25 am
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 and dangerous. things with the u.s. government to be doing. now the feminism of the nobel awards the iranian scientist has become a first woman to receive the prestigious prize in mathematics get the story on our website it. also that revealing the secrets of nature's most complex creation us scientists have developed three things to shape the could help the understanding of how our minds well. now you can get the top stories from us in around thirty minutes time but until then it's state financial fiber and it's max keiser.
5:26 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. 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
5:27 am
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. please.
