russian president have to say. well yes a russian president is in crimea the moments in the city all for yeltsin he addressed russia a lower house all parliaments are earlier in the day it was a very. speech and let's just concentrate on a few main points that he made now he said that russia should not close itself to the russian a cold itself to the outside world in its strive to develop internally he said successful development of the nation should certainly depends on. domestic reserves in the agricultural and industrial sectors of the economy however the relationship with foreign partners should still be kept intact even though that relationship could not be patronizing in any way or form it should not be had with russia from the mentors points of view and should be productive and he said that's

much for bringing the details wrong koester of there. now let's turn to other stories that we're following for you here today on r.t. international rallies in missouri over the killing of an unarmed teenager by a policeman are far from losing pace ten people have been arrested and one officer injured in overnight riot police used tear gas after some protesters threw molotov cocktails at security forces are just as he is there for us. you. may have been chaos continue to unravel on the streets of ferguson in the suburbs of st louis missouri for a fourth night in a row police continue to clash with protesters coming out onto the streets an outrage over the death of eighteen year old michael brown. right now the air here is filled with tension and really smells of tear gas still hours after it was fired violence and looting began on sunday night as hundreds of

protesters took out onto the streets dozens of businesses were looted and we have witnessed tear gas in fact being used when protesters were quite peaceful when nobody really was doing anything but it seems to be a different story according to the police that have been quite heavily militarized out on the streets night after night expecting it seems the worse the local community is outraged because witnesses who say they saw exactly what happened during michael's killing report that he had been running away from the police car with his hands lifted up in the air showing that he was unarmed when he was killed by multiple gunshots this community for. ison in fact has a population of twenty one thousand people two thirds of them are african-american whereas the ferguson police department is estimated to have only three black police officers out of fifty so the issue of race is certainly a huge one in these unraveling clashes and violence that have been taking place

michael brown's killing has exposed deep rooted frustration among residents in ferguson about how their neighborhoods are police saying fear and force are sad practices they experience every day when you got a lot of harassment by the cops you don't see enough just when you go on a no no we were in the street so why you shouldn't and so the complex who's going to be next which child is going to be next week jesse trayvon and jordan davis and the black children all around the world this is the systematic racist problem this is apartheid in america let's call it what it is while trying to contain the protest in ferguson police moved in and detained it to journalists who were covering the latest on breast the later released their treatment to drew widespread outrage from the media and it's shone a light on they have a habit of policing directed at reporters in the u.s. trouble spots following the occupy wall street protests that swept across america

london a sporty boy who now reports shoppers on london's oxford street got more than they bargained for earlier this week when they encountered men handing out fly is all skiing 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 to. get in the face to people trying to promote. the highly fight the spread of pro islamic state material has become a major concern for 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 a several days the highly provocative gesture to pace as the islamic states murderous campaign has left thousands of refugees stranded in northern iraq r a s 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 it provides 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 very quick resourced to be there for quite a major is a bizarre mixed up force is really so 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 u.s. and launch airstrikes 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 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's limited itself to providing humanitarian assistance but with growing concerns over the islam makes 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 u.n. has declared the highest level of emergency in iraq warning that thousands of the and christian refugees trapped by john is on mountain draw face imminent genocide within days a u.s. helicopter delivering food to the area led to desperate crowds rushing to the air ground begging the crew to take them to safety. the pentagon though says an evacuation is not necessary because far fewer people are under siege than previously thought after thousands managed to escape to safety. for now america and to some european partners are trying to get weapons to kurdistan which has long wanted the tanami from iraq and other territories washington was first to offer hardware with the cia providing local militia with light weapons and ammunitions france which has only ever had humanitarian involvement before it's also agreed

with baghdad to supply some weaponry while the u.k. is helping transport soviet era weapons from eastern europe foreign policy expert robert naiman told us the arms supplies will be another incentive for iraqi kurds to seek more independence. well there are only resolved 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 seem to be 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 iraq it will fields of this is something day the british and french are also concerned about the oil fields and in northern iraq possibility that this one state are as safe as they will threaten or take control of iraqi oil fields. japan's 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 troops have served at the u.s. military bases in japan in the last ten years under an agreement tokyo has to pay a quarter of the compensation for incidents that occurred 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. staff in that time almost twenty million dollars was paid out in compensation

nearly four million of them by japan both called her the story of one victim and her say 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 watch it you can see it's not that large but you can see i've written on on 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 i'll get our. and that would probably my would 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 military has claimed and has 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 and there's a first for famine ism and the nobel words this year and a range of scientists has become the first woman to receive the prestigious prize in mathematics at the story at r.t. dot com also revealing the secrets of nature's most complex creation us scientists

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 lising its troops on the israel gaza border so that certainly so tensions here climb as both sides started feeling that they could be a resumption of 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 siege in gaza regarding security arrangements and also reconstruction efforts inside the gaza strip and more news from around the world now brazil presidential candidate edward account both as died in the plane crash along with four other passengers and two pilots the private jack came down in

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's 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.
