say because of course the timing location to a lot of attention has been. absolutely all this speech certainly garnered quite a lot of attention and it was really anticipated by observers from all over the world especially considering the fact that the place on the backdrop all set for tat sanctions between russia and the west that have certainly escalating tensions over ukraine now here's what putin had to say some of the things that say he mentioned during his speech now he underlying underlined that's a russia should not wall itself in nor should it break any size with its partners from around the world however a russia should not be patronized by other countries should not be mentored by other countries in its own decisions now the russian president also called on the countries that a society to unite said that call for unification was not for

a war not for conflict but in order to work as hard as possible for the nation itself and the underlining thoughts in all that was that russian foreign policy should be peaceful now despite all that blood amir putin added that russian army will continue to get its allocated funding and will continue to get advanced weapons in order to boost its defense capabilities and also added that russia reserves the right to withdraw from any international agreement if necessary now the speech also was considered quite optimistic and one the key example of that was the fact that russian stock markets grew right after his speech all right thanks well just to remind you that what the president said in a nutshell. russia should not in his view wall itself in or break ties with

partners but it shouldn't allow them to patronize it either putin also called on russian society to unite urging know that this is not to be done for conflicts sake and he noted that moscow reserves the right to pull out of international treaties of doing so best serves its 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 un now 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 now ukrainian interior ministry official told standings employer that he could only assume that the reporter was detained by the security services the thirty three year old disappearance has sparked an outcry among international rights groups who are calling for his release but now drawing attention to the dangers facing journalists covering the conflict in that country because many other reporters have been caught in the cross-fire east ukraine as well seven journalists have been killed others have been abducted interrogated tortured hear the faces of

those who've risked their lives covering kiev's armed operation which want to see more of that started dot com where we're also posting any updates on the missing photographer understanding to. all the way on r.t. international trade war retreat while a top european bank with its brussels of moscow will soon stop hurting each other with sanctions without live analysis on that very matter very soon. british officials have admitted that elite s.a.'s special forces are on the ground in iraq but london claims its troops and aircraft are only there to help kurdish refugees who've been cut off by jihadist forces some british lawmakers want to broader intervention meantime extremists are openly recruiting on the streets of london as polly boyd 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 factor 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 of islamic state forces 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 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 worst responsibility many people consider that of course is the alternate few that the west has already been into iraq and it hasn't worked out so they 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. some u.s. and e.u. officials say the jihad this must be dealt with because they pose a direct threat to western countries indeed these warnings in the back into it with some powerful social media images like this youngster only a boy that picture in syria that we showed you earlier in the week holding up a decapitated head this latest photo depicts a british rapper apparently also travel to syria and join the radical movement

there one prominent was there much of his told us the actions of european governments that were driving some people towards the jihadist camp. and government policy is actually alienating more people and the other part is is this double sort of miss it is that on one side we have to be involved in the move all of the syrian government and the other side you know really it is a confusion messages going up and use the unfortunately there is always a number of which are confuse which he did. to get even more confused and double that message just and it unfortunately these are wrong or will people we should being exploited or something needs to be done and the government indeed needs to set the example we need to educate people that this is our action it is just an ego that is counterproductive and the reality is create more havoc more killing more

injustice and indeed rather than solving anything that message is not going out. coming up with bring you the latest on the kurdish struggle for survival a dog in iraq they fear a genocide by jihadists and they're begging to be evacuated to safety one of the many stories we've got ahead very shortly. but 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 sports one of the things that certain people regime has become very adept at is controlling the media for example right here c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like it is no i think is a have an agenda i think through is is bought and paid for.

do we speak your language or not a. good news programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn of the of angles the stories. you hear. in troy ulti spanish find out more visit. one of scandinavia top lenders says brussels of moscow will back pedal on tit for tat sanctions within the next few months here's a quote from the document for you quote an escalating trade war would be unbearable

for both russia and the e.u. end quote the bank says it says both sides will likely revoke the sanctions within one to three months economic restrictions were first imposed when the u.s. and the e.u. lashed out at russia over the crisis in ukraine moscow then retaliated by opposing the ban on european food imports let's talk about all this where it's headed with the boss who's a food with the euro monitor ruling us on the line from london thanks for your time nice to see you tonight your so i gather your stance is that germany will be hardest hit initially by what's happening here by these russian countermeasures but still won't suffer as much as other players how do you think it's all going to turn them. exactly happened so in terms of actually the absolute losses that we're seeing here obviously germany's europe's largest economy so we're just talking about absolute terms germany is one of the worst head markets however

if you're looking at the total export of germany exposed to russia is actually not that high so it's not that much reliant on russian export it's just a simple a few percent of the total export now other countries and these are more mostly neighboring countries such as if the way off in denmark they're much more hit by these sanctions because fresh air is a much more important market for them that for example i'll also announce that because of the sanctions they're expecting redundancies in the biggest market and then mark because they're investing a lot in russia at the moment because it's one of the fastest growing markets obviously it's very important and we're expecting russia to be the. largest market in the next two years depending per country the effects obviously is worse or less depending on the reliance of these exports the earlier you mentioned filler there as well we did a report last night so that's going to be a hard hit prognosis was grim that it could take at least ten years for it to

recover. i'm not really sure with the ration all depends on how long the sanctions are going to last obviously from both partners both in the e.u. but also for russia and we've been much better for this ban obviously to be lifted in russia are expecting prices in the short term might actually go up because they can't really substitute all of these products that quickly whilst in europe to seeing that i'm sleeping over produce and especially when it comes to fresh products. needs to find new destination market rather quickly so. obviously when it comes to food and vegetables are quickly sorry president putin said this what are your concerns going to be in place for twelve months anyway. as i've just said so that might not be the case if this plays slightly differently but either which way couldn't europe of see this coming. well we've seen signs in the past so for

example polish pork has been banned and this was after discussions that don't want to have u.s. sanctions on russia or the senior u.s. chain mcdonald's they were fined or sued by russia because apparently they weren't in the correct regulation with the russian health laws so we are seeing signs so i wouldn't want to suggest in the course in the meantime the goods are coming in from europe russia is trying to source from latin american countries if it builds a good relationship the works well question is will european firms be really allowed to trade here again maybe will be the route for the future what do you have . you make a good point there kevin say especially if they're looking for a new exporting part of a new importing partner in this case russian consumers might get used to branstad

have been imported and bark at countries however this is rather short term so over the long term obviously cheese originating from france consumers might still want to purchase cheeses and long term i think this might go away but in the short this is definitely something to consider so many people were for so long on both sides to build up trade and it all gets knocked to pieces like this but thank you ever so much bring on the program to appreciate it leon brown the food and booze for europe monitor. the u.n. is the credit highest level of emergency in iraq warning that thousands of refugees trapped by jihad is could face imminent genocide within days a u.s. helicopter delivering food to the area was mobbed by desperate begging the crew to take him to safety pentagon claims a complete evacuation is not necessary because far fewer people are under siege than previously thought but the years that he could reach minority would beg to

differ. throughout. we should know right. now he could live here. how that money and ok and even their village hall to shut up now and let's have someone with a one hundred handle what hate him in the can get him and. now it is so shut up now at home be the possibility. of the cause with iraq. he had an intern job in mrs loon i got over it was. over the rose a monarch had had their man out of a bottle sorry home so let's take

a look at other countries reposing to do germany's pledged normally thought military aid to iraq after america and some of its allies released arms and ammunition to the kurds washington as the first factor of firepower with the cia now providing local militia with light weapons and bullets on the fronts which has only ever had humanitarian involvement before but now has also agreed with baghdad to supply some weaponry and the iraqi government too which had previously been reluctant to help the separate is kurds before is now saying it will give them weapons as well britain the u.k.'s helping transport solve it there are weapons from eastern europe slightly strange you might say you might think but they have a weapons to use foreign policy expert robert nyman the says the plies will be a fresh incentive for kurds to seek 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 the iraqi kurds from declaring independence in the areas that they control the kurds have of 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 stating 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 in northern iraq and possibility that slum exteriorize say as they will threaten or take control of iraqi oil fields. and i see dot com right now in your face from space that american tech for warms the

privately owned southwards may soon be able to snap photos of our faces they'll be that kind of scary and if you want to read up more on the bus. just a click away from us in africa dr describes the hardships he's got to put up with now after surviving the deadly virus. missouri police have stepped up their crackdown on protesters during a fourth night of violence over the killing of an unarmed black teenager officers fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a largely peaceful demonstration and ferguson the media also felt the heavy hand of the law to journalists said they were manhandled during a rest and one news crew even reported being shot at by police. and mayhem and 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. 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 reports 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. we'll continue to follow that story for you the break here now it's international eighty's action movie star steven seagal talks to us tells worlds apart his plan for rebuilding trust between moscow and washington. 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 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 all the legally this is ok ideologically there is 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 hometown 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 let me put a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion.

in reality radiation is still lives we think and it is killing our children they are dying you know so hard conditions asked no leukaemia but the authorities are still hiding the truth for most still and i don't know why don't they have children on their own because you heard so much to know that to protect our children she does. do we speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic it's when you hear. reporting from the world talks about six of the r.p. interviews intriguing stories tell you. been trying. to find out more visit or
