and the west and that is certainly heightened tensions around the situation in ukraine here's some of what. i had to say during his speech he underlined the fact that's a russia should not a wall itself in nor should break any. partners however russia should never feel or be patronized by its partners in any way or form should not be now the russian president also called on the russian society so unite in light of recent events but to unite not for a call but rather to consolidate and work for the good of the nation and the underlining thought over all that was the fact that russia's foreign policy should be peaceful right now and in the years such a call now that this speech itself was met with a certain degree of optimism and one indicator of that was the fact that russian

stocks at the russian stock markets actually grew roman culture of so some of the main points the president stressed that russia should not in his view wall itself you know break toys with partners but it shouldn't allow them to patronize or the the president putin also called on russian society to unite urging though this not be done for conflicts sake and he noted that moscow reserves the right to pull out of international treaties if doing so it's best interests. russia's demanding answers over the fate of missing russian photographer under a stand in moscow says it will raise the issue at the u.n. and with the o. s. c.e. unless kiev reveals his whereabouts contact with a journalist who is working in east ukraine was lost more than a week ago the ukrainian interior ministry official told stern ins employer that he can only assume that the reporter was detained by the security services the thirty three year old's disappearance or sparked an outcry among international rights groups of a call of his release they're now drawing attention to the dangers facing journalists

covering the conflict in the country. and many other reporters have been caught up in the crossfire lease ukraine's seven journalists have been killed so far others have been abducted interrogated or tortured here are the faces of those who risked their lives covering kiev's armed operations all of their stories but r.t. dot com we were all supposed to get the updates on the missing photographer understanding to. meantime ukraine's adopted a new law allowing it to impose a package of sanctions of moscow which could include banning russian fuel supplies through its territory so also create a blacklist of russian individuals and organizations that will be affected debating here is rather is known to get particular fiery times and this session to see proved no exception. of the war ended. up rules sparked out of the leader of far right party accuse another

employee of failing to play his part of the so-called anti terror operation in eastern ukraine not that he was going to take that like that grabbing his accusers tired delivering a punch to his face on the glasgow run for the presidency of may and has form indeed to when it comes to using his fists in the chamber in the spring and forcibly kicked russian journalists out of the parliament building accusing them of espionage despite the crew having accreditation. next tonight missouri police have stepped up their crackdown on protesters during a fourth night of violence over the killing of an unarmed black teenager by a cop officers fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a largely peaceful demonstration in ferguson the media also felt the heavy hand of the law to two germans said they were manhandled during a restroom one news crew even reported being shot at by police r.t. said as to see a choking areas there. 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. violence and looting began on sunday night as hundreds of protesters took out onto the streets dozens of businesses were looted we have witnessed tear gas in fact being used when protesters were quite peaceful. and. 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. 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 ferguson 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 it did locals a furious over regular police brutality what they call racial profiling some of even had stronger words to describe the latest events. when you got a lot of harassment by the cops you don't see and i just focus that we can go on unknown at all we were in the street so why you shouldn't and so the complex this key is who's going to be next which child is going to be next we just say trayvon and jordan davis and the black children all around the world this is the systematic race this problem this is a part time in america let's call it what it is. serious responses are also pouring

out online to over the ongoing militarized police crackdown in ferguson as it is some recent tweets compare that heavily armed officers to combat troops in iraq is more social media reaction a web site too if want to check it out if you get a moment home. to be in the. british officials have admitted the delete s.a.'s special forces are on the ground in iraq but london claims its troops their crafter only that help kurdish refugees who've been cut off by jihad his forces some british lawmakers want to broader intervention meantime extremists are openly recruiting on the streets of london to was probably discovered. 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. given leaflets to people trying to promote. the highly fight the spread of pro islamic state material has become 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 the highly provocative gesture to pace as the islamic states murderous campaign has left thousands of refugees stranded in

northern iraq r.a.f. tornado jets have been sent to support a drops for refugees and to carry out surveillance operations images a bizarre mixture of course a very chilling 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. . a 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 worst

responsibility many people consider that of course is the alternate few that the worst has already been into iraq and it hasn't worked out so they should just stand back the u.k. government's 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. germany has also pledged nonlethal military aid to iraq after american fronts released arms supplies to the kurds to help them fight the islamic state some u.s. new officials though say the jihadist must be dealt with because they pose a direct threat to western countries these warnings have been backed up with some powerful social media images to move this youngster only a boy in syria holding up a decapitated head and this latest photo depicting a british rapper who also traveled to syria and join the radical movement there one prominent muslim activist told us the actions of european governments are driving

some people towards the jihadi scamp. and government policy is actually alien eight hundred people and other parts is is just double sort of misses is that on one side we have to be involved in the move all of the syrian government and the other side you know read it is a confusion miss is just going up and use the unfortunately there is always number of pollute which are confuse which is it a to get even more confused double that message just. unfortunately these are wrong or will people we should lean exploited and something needs to be done and the government indeed needs to set a example do we need to educate people that this is an action it is just an ego that is consequent up to it and the reality is create more havoc more killing more a justice and indeed rather than so in unity that message is not going out.

it is now home being the postman while a fragile of the house with iraq. in my is just loon i got over it was. the rose monarch but that had them and i have a bottle sorry home for now american some of its allies are delivering arms and ammunition to the kurds was the first to offer firepower the cia now providing local militia with light weapons and bullets to france which is only ever had humanitarian involvement before is also agreed with baghdad to supply some weaponry the iraqi government which had been reluctant to help the separatists kurds before is now giving them weapons as well while the u.k.'s helping transport soviet era weapons from eastern europe so foreign policy expert robert nine and give us some thoughts he says the supplies will be fresh incentive for kurds to seek

independence. there are on resolve obviously people unresolved issues between the regional government of kurdistan. 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 courage to have always been seen 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 that the british and french are also concerned about the oil fields in northern iraq possibility that this one

accuse the other of violating it there was a seventy two hour cease fire that was due to expire at midnight on wednesday and two hours before that expired date went into effect it were rockets fired at israel israel responded by hitting targets in the gaza strip and also move allies 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 ceasefire and it's hoped that this time will be used so that it 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 season garza regarding security arrangements and also reconstruction efforts inside the gaza strip. japan's

defense 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 us military bases in japan and it turns out that thousands of crimes have been committed by u.s. staff in the last ten years while many were there on official duty to it must be said under an agreement tokyo's to pay a quarter them of a compensation for incidents that happen during u.s. military duties even if the japanese have got nothing to do with it a victim of one of those crimes told r.t. sport scott her story about her crusade now 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 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 in other words goes on it's all laid out 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 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 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 a zero tolerance to rape cases. and they're helping rape victims but that is completely the opposite they have not helped me at all. more world news headlines brief couple at least a massive anti-government marches currently underway in pakistan a rally from lahore to islamabad is being led by opposition leaders calling on the prime minister to resign they say fail to investigate for committee during last year's elections but is now about accuses the protesters of trying to disrupt democracy saying it's now launched a probe into allegations of vote rigging in the twenty whole. hospital in the u.s. state of nebraska has been flooded well about after heavy rainfall a security camera captured the moment that wall of water pushed through the cafeteria doors all of the hospitals kitchen eating areas were damaged and could take months to repair several other parts of the u.s.

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. that nixon decided to close the gold window and turn the monster a system into a painting on a dollar bill and in exchange for this deal with the devil the u.s. economy would never age we were told we could lead lives to balance currency
