insane to russia do that would it absolutely in change will for russian armored vehicles to go in they will get a look at the types of what they did knowing that everybody's got cameras everybody can take photographs and knowing the little situation regarding this conflict it would be absolutely sure a side of russia to do that. and now the e.u. has threatened to impose another round of sanctions on russia blaming it for the violence in eastern ukraine however the unity over punitive measures appears to be fraying slovakia's prime minister for example criticizing them as a meaningless gesture that would threaten economic growth in the e.u. member states the czech president claimed the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations that a chief nothing of the divide as deep and even further after russia has retaliated tory a ban on a western produced food that has left many european companies without access to a key market earlier we spoke to the european union's ambassador to russia expect
3:07 am
expressed optimism for a quick return to business as usual of course some companies may or may may face some losses and will be looking for that then it is as a said specially those countries and those exporters of market who have been under scrutiny of. russian situations here faced certain sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding a new new new however of course we came to maintain that trade value russian customer and i am sure the russian customer values european product and it will come back to business as usual soon and kiev has once again said it doesn't know where the missing russian photographer and that i stand in is that the interior ministry suggested that he could be held by antigovernment forces and he disappeared in eastern ukraine ten days ago and the ukrainian military seems

a rather undecided whether or not they have him at first they denied it then an interior ministry spokesperson confirmed in an interview to a lot of you in a radio station that they did have stand in captive on accusations of assisting terrorists but then he backtracked blaming a bad trans. the un and international human rights groups they're all demanding their correspondent is immediately released several. taken place all over the world following a free andrew campaign being launched on the social network. it's all an international thanks for joining us now the police officer who shot dead an unarmed black teenager in the u.s. town of ferguson has now been named that's failed to quell the public outrage at the lack of details over the shooting and the militarized response of all thora to use to the rallies more demonstration shows will sunday is our season of stuff. in
3:09 am
the suburbs of st louis missouri protesters are continuing to come out onto the streets calling for justice in the case killing eighteen year old unarmed michael brown the name of the police officer find the killing has been released wilson is twenty eight years old he is white and we do know that he has been kept in the police by. everything took place earlier we spoke with one of the attorneys michael brown's family and this is what he told about the information that's been released by the police just in the. past. is a lot more we need to learn about him especially. you know his actions after. those things that crucial to determining. what happened to get us here here is certainly shifted somewhat because for the first four nights what we saw were pretty violent clashes between mostly
3:10 am
a very heavily militarized police who were using tear gas and rubber bullets to be almost no police presence here on the ground last night still thousands of people in a place where we could really wild like now but even louder protests people still don't understand why. much why i. think we are not on the campaign. now the use of tear gas by police in ferguson has sparked well a somewhat unexpected response from across the atlantic palestinians taking to twitter advising protesters not to wash their eyes if they hit with tear gas also watching them to try to keep calm and avoid running into the wind. known for a severe health effects for example temporary blindness breathing problems miscarriages heart and liver damage as well but it is not the only tool used by police to counter the mostly peaceful rallies and ferguson security forces also had
3:11 am
an m. four rifle in there also known. weapon typically used in war police also have been reinforced by light armored vehicles which of course in afghanistan and iraq if that's not enough though at m.k. eleven sniper rifle which is obviously used in combat missions that was seen as necessary to tackle the rallies as well law enforcement expert john whitehead he believes police are massively overreacting. a number of studies show that once you put on the gear as a police when you're trained you start acting like a military unit like you're in a patrol and unfortunately what happens is the psychology changes in a lot of these little policemen when they're approaching a house for a swat team or a it's like they're moving in on al qaeda supposedly we're the masters and they're the servants but you know it first and they're telling people to back off twenty five feet get in the zone they're violating their free speech rights you have a right to walk up to a civil servant and say sir why you doing this why you're here there pointing guns at people and chasing them away that's not a policeman
3:12 am
a more again that's the military and that's what we're dealing with most police agencies operate basically anyway the lot of the local city councils and politicians just let them go. but i've written a number of instances i've seen. local citizens get made get down that local city council meeting they get their signs and they say we're not moving into the changes thing if not you're going to see terry in this country this is this is the face of the government today what you're seeing in ferguson and it's only going to get worse if we don't back you know. the progress and shooting match led to some serious shifts in u.s. society in fact if you got a lot to talk call you'll see the results of a brand new poll that shows how the killing of michael brown has trust in the police since leaving almost all of the nation highly decision. coming up a man who was honored with an award for saving a jewish child during world war two dollars says he doesn't want it anymore the deadly bomb bottom out of gaza is behind the elderly mass decision more on that

the people have fled their homes to escape the onslaught meanwhile e.u. foreign ministers have agreed to supply heavy weapons to the kurdish forces in iraq to help them fight the militants. are now assessing what that could lead to. hot on the heels of the u.s. and france the u.k. has announced its readiness to supply arms directly to kurdish forces which are trying to fight off brutal jihadists in northern iraq the u.k. has said we will also consider favorably any requests for supplies of arms we already shipping ammunition and supplies from other eastern european countries into a bill but there are fears the lessons of the past haven't been learnt it's a quick fix to to think that you can arm a group or send a craft and bomb and so on but that doesn't deal with the problem the main problem is that the politicians don't plan ahead to always reacting to crises in syria the

west backed the rebels who then walked into the assam extent eight the very problem now being faced across the border in iraq and the two thousand and eleven western backed overthrow of colonel gadhafi led to three years of political chaos in libya with weapons again falling into the wrong hands and according to the un flooding west africa now the kurds need help fighting jihadists but what happens if they win with western weapons in hand to know on the kurdish fighters testifies to a tokenistic and indeed a short term solution to a very real problem which is to fight back isis let's not forget that by arming the kurdish fighters what is actually being encouraged is the breakup of iraq as a sovereign entity the kurds are desperate for independence from iraq and when these that make state was a problem only in the south of the country that is also. back to the mill twenty began to look at spain as last month one iraqi kurdish leader told local lawmakers
3:20 am
to plan for an independence referendum i don't think we should be encouraging secession in the middle east or some sort of incident from the sea it's quite the same independence would be complicated because it would create problems in turkey and syria under caution rocket circles but to encourage them in this way is. potentially breaking iraq government sources in the british media reported leaking to stress that the u.k. is not moving towards direct military intervention in iraq and that sending arms is consistent with the government's response to a humanitarian crisis critics fear arming because scared facilitate the breakup of iraq but for those in favor the need to stop the islamic states murderous campaign is so precious saying that leaders may have resigned themselves to achieving their

number from just a few years ago london's bike scheme set up by the previous macin livingston is now the second largest cycle highest system in europe it remains an affordable and enjoy the way to travel around the city so far so good but what's the future for cyclists in the british capital. region being put in place which allows cyclists to go. around the city on quieter less populous roads. cycle superhighways there's already several of those in the city and another five i think planned for the next couple of years but do the math adds up the project is draining enormous funds and barclays will end its association next year the bank pays just a sixth of the cost of keeping the bicycles on the road and transport for london said it was left with a bill of over eleven million pounds last year. that leaves the u.k. taxpayer remaining one thousand three hundred and eighty eight pounds per bike
3:24 am
cycling safety is also a major concern after a number of deaths and major accidents are london's roads safe enough campaign is have said that local authorities need to do more to protect the people on bikes. london has promised segregated cycle tracks and new traffic free public spaces putting almost a billion pounds into pro bike reforms this includes redesigning london's roads transforming badly designed junctions and banning lorries that lack up to date safety features. however as the scheme expands campaign to say that more should be done but when it came in we said to the mayor you need a good network of routes easy routes that people can get to where they want to go and easy to easy to follow with good directions and they haven't done that they're still talking about doing that the push bikes become and integrity part of

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 are legally not responsible for their own actions so yeah that whole freedom of association guaranteed by the. to sion 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 is hard for teenagers to believe all these nice slogans
3:27 am
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 up a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. so we're in a deflationary spiral where resources are scarce and people are going to war to get control of the remaining resources the workspace everyone against everyone everyone's at each other's throats because all that money printing did not work it was a failure it caused the very place and they said it was going to eliminate they. miserably as a result everyone's got their neck and blood. as a.
