3:07 pm
reserves the right to withdraw from any international agreements 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 so some of the main points the president stressed and let's recap it briefly he said russia should not his view fence itself in or sever itself from its partners but it shouldn't allow them to patronize it either didn't putin also called on russian society to unite urging there that this not be done for conflicts sake and he noted that moscow reserves the right to pull out of international treaties if doing so best serves its interests. russia's demanding answers over the fate of missing russian photographer under a stand in meantime moscow says it will raise the issue at the u.n. and with the o.s.c. and less kiev reveals his whereabouts contact with him he was working in east

a top european bank predicts brussels moscow will soon stop hurting each other with sanctions we've got some analysis on whether that is or is not in fact the case very soon. british officials have admitted that elite s.e.'s special forces are on the ground in iraq but london claims his troops an aircraft are there only to help kurdish refugees who've been cut off by jihad his forces some british lawmakers want to broader intervention or at the same time as extremists are openly recruiting on the streets of london as poly boy could discover it. 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
3:10 pm
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 before the highly provocative gesture took pace as the islamic states murderous campaign has left thousands of refugees stranded in northern iraq are e.f. two tornado jets have been sent to support a drops for refugees and to carry out surveillance operations image is
3:11 pm
a bizarre mixture of course a very chilling 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 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 world bank you will be late 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 is the alternate view that the west has already been into iraq and it hasn't worked out so they should just stand back the u.k.
3:12 pm
government is 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 that you had this must be dealt with because they pose a direct threat to western countries these warnings indeed have been backed up with some powerful social media images like this young australian boy in syria holding up what appears to be confirmed to be a decapitated head we showed you that in the week also this latest foetid to apparently depicts a british rapper who also travel to syria and join the radical movement one prominent muslim activist though told us the actions of european governments is what's driving some people towards the jihadist camp. and go the policy is actually ending eight hundred people and other parts is is just double sort of misses is
3:13 pm
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 miss is just going up and use the unfortunately there is always number of elite which are confused which he needs it to get even more confused double message just i mean unfortunately these are wrong to real people we should being exploited and something needs to be done and the government indeed he says set of example who need to educate people that this are action it is just as he goes it is consequence up to and the reality is create more havoc more killing more he justice and indeed rather than soling unity that message is not going out. and coming up we'll bring the latest on the kurdish struggle for survival in northern iraq they fear genocide project how this in a begging to be evacuated to safety become more that all for plight coming up.

logan a report by dan spying on the scandinavians top lenders says brussels of moscow said to back pedal on tit for tat sanctions maybe within the next few months is a quote from the document they're released and escalating trade war would be unbearable it said for both russia and the e.u. went on to say 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 imposing a ban on european food imports i spoke to leon vanden boss she's
3:16 pm
a food analyst for your a monitor she thinks no matter how long the sanctions stay in place the fresh food manufacturers in the u. e.u. will be hard hit this is what she did say. both partners both in the e.u. but also for russia and we've been much better for this panel he seemed to be lifted by the constant fear and bad steve are being i could produce and especially when it comes to fresh products. these need to find new destination market rather quickly there's a lot of pressure in the short term because a lot of countries are in fact that at the moment to find a new distributing partner long term it has to be seen what the consequences everyone is trying to find new export partners here. just like you know if you dot com right now you've got a story in your face space quite literally the american tech for the privately owned satellites would be so good soup. that photos of your face is clearly that scary more details online on t dot com plus life often. just

3:19 pm
in many cases loon i got over was. over the rose had a monarch but that had them and i have a bottle let's see how the west intends to assist germany's pledged lethal military aid elsewhere here's what other countries are saying they'll do to help the embattled people of northern iraq america first of all and some of its allies of the ready of course released arms and ammunition to the kurds washington was one of the first to offer firepower with the cia providing local militia with light weapons and bullets on two fronts which had only been involved in humanitarian involved before now that it's a great was to supply some weaponry of the paris hasn't specified exactly what that will be the iraqi government itself meantime had been reluctant to help again the separatists kurds but is now arming them this is what britain's doing it's helping transport soviet era weapons left over from the cold war in some eastern european countries foreign policy expert robert nyman says those supplies will be a fresh incentive for kurds to seek independent. there are on resolve
3:20 pm
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 courage to have always been seen to 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 dead the british and french are also concerned about the oil fields and in northern iraq possibility that this one
3:21 pm
exteriorize say as the world threaten or take control of iraqi oil fields. those who want to get involved to stop isis. are allied with isis in syria we will be doing everything we can do for the free syrian army and we will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government and produced forces as they battle these terrorists. missouri police fired tear gas and rubber bullets set up largely peaceful demonstration and ferguson joining a fourth night of violence over the killing of an unarmed black teenager by a cop two journalists were arrested allegedly manhandled two and one news crew even reported being shot at by the police but i could bomb has condemned the excessive use of force on us to see a child can or is in focus and force. the mayhem
3:22 pm
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 and 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 you know. 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
3:23 pm
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 in 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 political cartoonist ted rall told me u.s. police forces are armed to the teeth of essentially turned some neighborhoods in the war zone. it's not the first time this has happened you know this is a situation that repeats itself in all sorts of african-american communities across the united states that are policed as though they were occupied territory by highly militarized i would say u.s. troops but local police who are equipped as though they were occupying afghanistan or iraq so you know there is no connection whatsoever but just hostility between
3:24 pm
the communities that are being policed and the police that are supposed to be serving them that's the big issue that's the big problem and i don't see how the president in his investigation over this one incident would be able to make much headway there a top hamas negotiator says the group is ready to strike again if it's full still and won't sign a peace deal with israel unless the demands of its people are met earlier both sides agreed to extend the ceasefire by five days but just hours before that is really accuse the militants of firing rockets at it but with its own strikes. at this stage the ceasefire does appear to be holding but both sides 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 mobilizing its
3:25 pm
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 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 seizure in gaza regarding security arrangements and also reconstruction efforts inside the gaza strip. and we'll keep you posted as multi tones come through thanks for watching tonight the next live update is just twenty four thirty four thirty four of his time from now about with a live update that i'm kevin and thanks for being with us to the break feared by the banks beloved by the people max stacy and the kaiser report he would have very shortly.
3:26 pm
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 although legally this is ok ideologically there's
3:27 pm
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 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 when they put up a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. played .
