9:16 am
baghdad to supply some weaponry while the iraqi government which have been reluctant to help to separate is kurds before is now giving them weapons as well while the u.k. is helping transform. soviet era ammunition from eastern europe foreign policy expert robert naiman says the supplies will be a fresh incentive for kurds to seek 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 if 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 courage to have always been seen to have long been seen in the west as a more reliable partner better fighters militarily more cohesive
9:17 am

9:19 am
of a successful choose to use the concerns to. choose the opinions that invigorating. choose the stories that impact the life truth be access to often. welcome back you're watching r.t. japan's the fans ministry says it's paid out nearly four million dollars in compensation over the past decade for accidents and crimes involving american military personnel american hours around fifty thousand troops serving in the u.s. military bases in japan and a turns out that thousands of crimes have been committed by u.s. staff in the last ten years and marry while they were on official army duty well under an agreement togo has to pay
9:20 am
a quarter of the compensation for incidents that occurred during a u.s. military duties even if the japanese have nothing to do with them a victim of one of those crimes told her story about her proceed for justice 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 least. and i watch it and you can see it's not that large but you can see i version on on some sheets here and what is what is on the list goes on it's all the way down and this is enough this would be these a list of just the right crimes and okayed hour. and
9:21 am
that would probably my would probably be equivalent to a twenty four store story building so how many of these. get investigated properly do you believe i mean what happened in your case properly well let's say for example since the one 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 told the entire world that they are tolerant to rape cases. and they're helping rape victims but that is completely the opposite they have not helped me at all and there are as you know calm right now in your face from space and american taxpayer warns that privately owned satellites may

soon be able to snap photos of your work our rather faces so how line for the details. plus why after a ball with just a click away at african doctors described as a hardships he has to put up with it after surviving the deadly virus. things are towns between israel and gaza despite both sides agreeing to stand very cease fire hours before the previous truce was due to expire israel accused the militants of firing rockets and hit back with its own strikes our middle east correspondent policy or brings us more. things on the ground are 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 us that they say israel is continuing with its shelling over gaza but 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 cleared up with the impact that we created by a rocket fire it was
9:23 am
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 so tensions here climb as both 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 it can be 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 siege in gaza regarding security arrangements and also reconstruction efforts inside the gaza strip now whether u.s. using sanctions as
9:24 am
a way of applying political and economic pressure many industries are suffering the consequences but there are also those who are benefiting are just going to found out who's making a buck from the misery of others. 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 in fact but 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 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
9:25 am
technology employees in the u.s. h.s.b.c. which two years ago agreed to pay almost two billion dollars to settle in time. 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 help compose those sanctions in washington i'm going to check on our team now the list of individuals and businesses banned by the u.s. is nearing six thousand and while risk consultants are enjoying a salary and consumers are feeling the pinch as libertarian economist lee rockwell
9:26 am
explains. it's like you know because the corny kind of system would got so you have big companies big banks especially for groups with big business. or government against the rich so it's not healthy to use them 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 of the can down the road to the product safety commission down the list of all the regulatory agencies of the warriors who are involved in creating the regulation go to work for those with so i would say you know all the bad people are benefiting the good people are being hurt and sanctions are the parly were wrong apparently immoral as international law is always held by the way this is the equivalent of bombing somebody these are very very serious dangerous rotten things for the u.s. government. when there are more headlines from around the world a massive anti-government marches begun in pakistan sounds of security personnel

9:29 am
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.
