3:08 pm
political situation regarding this conflict it would be absolutely sure sidelobe russia to do that the role seventeen more ukrainian troops across the border into russia fighting in the east it's the latest incident and far from the biggest two weeks ago more than four hundred ukrainian soldiers illegally crossed the border into russia seeking sanctuary. now the e.u. is threatening more potential sanctions against russia blaming it for the violence in eastern ukraine however the unanimous support required is falling away slovakia's prime minister criticized them as meaningless and saying they would threaten economic growth in e.u. member states while the czech president claims the restrictions themselves are ineffective and could lead to a spiral of worsening relations that achieve nothing but divide has deepened even further off the russians were taliban and western produced food even food exports

3:10 pm
conflicted on whether they have him or not the first they denied it then an interior ministry spokesperson confirmed in an interview to a latvian radio station they indeed held standing captive on accusations of assisting terrorists but then they backtracked claiming a bad translation russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are demanding the correspondent is released immediately a social media campaign called free andro is now under way and they have been several flash mobs around the world in support. of the police officer who shot dead an unarmed teenager in the us town of ferguson has been named the death caused public outrage and subsequent rallies met a strong response from your thirty's and a situation reports from the latest protest. it ferguson in the suburbs of st louis missouri protesters are continuing to come out onto the streets for justice in the case killing of eighteen year old unarmed michael brown.
3:11 pm
the name of the police officer behind the killing has been released aaron wilson is twenty eight years old he is white and we do know that you have been in a safe place by police here ever since tooting took place earlier we spoke with one of the attorneys of michael brown's family and this is what he told about the information that's being released by the police just a name that's all we hear yes there. is a lot more we need to learn about him especially the way so you know his actions after he shot by going before he shot those things that crucial to determining. what happened that night we spoke to some people about this latest information i'm kind of confused their goal is like the information being released today you know with the names we kind of wanted all the information back when you know we said before things got to this level initially i was afraid to come out here because
3:12 pm
when i saw all the militia you know the police out here showing presenting threatening our weapons in just are presenting themselves in a threatening manner i was afraid to come out here because when i saw the tear gas and and the manner that they were approaching and read arresting people the atmosphere here is certainly shifted somewhat because for the first four nights what we saw were pretty violent clashes between a mostly a very heavily militarized police who were using tear gas and rubber bullets people still don't understand why this young man had to be killed by multiple gunshots fired or being bullied are not from the camp. protesting for august and have led to some criminal groups taking the opportunity to move in local shops. some people form lines to protect businesses protesters a claim of the police aggression against the rallies is out of proportion the use of tear gas in ferguson sparked a somewhat unexpected online response from across the atlantic with palestinians
3:13 pm
taking to twitter and devising processes not to wash their eyes if they're hit with gas and also urging them to try and keep carbon avoid running into the wind tear gas can have severe health effects they include temporary blindness breathing problems miscarriages as well as heart and liver damage the tear gas is not the only told used by police to counter the mostly peaceful rallies in ferguson and m. four rifle is also in the security forces arsenal a weapon used in various military conflicts police have also been reinforced by light armored vehicles which were in service in iraq and afghanistan also m.k. eleven sniper rifle also used in combat was seen as necessary to tackle the peaceful rallies law enforcement expert john whitehead believes the police are overreacting. a number of studies show that once you put on the gear as a policeman and 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
3:14 pm
a lot of these local policemen when they're approaching a house for a swat team or a it's like they're moving in on al qaida supposedly where the masters and they're the servants but you know in ferguson 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 any more again that's the military and that's what we're dealing with most police agencies operate basically any way the want of the local law of city councils and politicians just let them go. but i've written in a number of instances i've seen. local citizens get they get down to local city council meeting they get their signs and they say we're not moving into you change this thing it's 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 in all more news coming your way and putting reports of an entire economy when it's massacre in iraq stay without international.
3:15 pm
in a deep place terry spiral where resources are scarce and people are going to war to get control of the remaining resources to work everyone against everyone everyone's at each other's throat because all that money printing did not work it was a failure it calls the very ticklish and they said it was going to eliminate. miserably as a result everyone's got up to their neck in blood. it was very interesting because there were dropped out of the sky the rohrbach up that would shift across a few degrees. of the circle in combat of the speed but you know just astronomical speeds.

3:19 pm
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 mother 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 that doesn't deal with the problem 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 islam extenuate 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
3:20 pm
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 the islam makes state was a problem only in the south of the country the prospect of an autonomous north began to look at again a bowl last month one iraqi kurdish leader told local lawmakers to plan for an independence referendum on the. we should be encouraging secession in the middle east are seen as being sort of i've never seen it's quite risky independence would
3:21 pm
be complicated because you would create problems in turkey and syria under the 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 the kurds scared facilitate the breakup of iraq but for those in favor the need to stop the islamic states murderous campaign is so pressed saying that leaders may have resigned themselves to achieving their short term goal of driving terrorists out of northern iraq first and worrying about the long term consequences later boyko artsy london.
3:22 pm
the middle east journalist who's covered the region extensively believes the e.u. and us i'm not interested in totally crushing the islamic states. they are reacting they are not pretty active in preventing actually the civilians of being attacked by isis groups and these isis troops they are well known where they are where they move they could be attacked before hand that they are not doing this. leads to the conclusion from my side that these isis groups working in some way in coordination with western interests as far as syria is concerned that's where isis has grown over the last year or so and they did not do anything to stop isis in syria. those who want to get involved the stuff i says in iraq are allied with isis in syria but we still should be doing
3:23 pm
everything we can to support the free syrian opposition who will continue to provide military assistance and advice to the iraqi government and kurdish forces as they battle these terrorists. more news from around the world for you now and thousands of protesters have gathered in pakistan's capital islamabad after a three hundred kilometer march in support of opposition leaders one group was led by politician and imran karn who is violent or continue city into the current prime minister ahmed zines a separate convoy was headed by a prominent anti-government cleric is calling for a green revolution and protestors accuse the government of causing an economic downturn growing militancy and a failure to deliver core services. clashes near tripoli airport between two rival militias have turned parts of the libyan capital into a battlefield rivalries erupted months ago between the groups including brigades of

3:25 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 the. 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 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
3:26 pm
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. sweden or finland to bring deep to join nato dots would provoke some sort of reaction on the part of russia this is why as far as the military calculus is concerned what faces humanity peace the west north and south lawn of it can't be solved by military means or fighter aircraft or satellites or nuclear weapons military is outdated it should go like cannibalism and slavery and child labor it doesn't belong to civilization to kill each other.
3:27 pm
i wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep yes this is a kaiser report i'm max kaiser right here in the belly of the beast men hat and
3:28 pm
stacy you're looking very beautiful max i want to make sure to clarify i'm glad you said that we're in new york city because many yanks out there we they watch the show and they think we're in yemen or kabul they don't realize this is man has not a green screen no it's not a green screen and in fact you might see some humpback whales breach the water here you might see some great white sharks i've seen a lot of humping over there port authority but well i want to mention that we are recording at kofi right here in long island city these guys are so nice to allow us to film here but i want to minister match while we're here back in london you were seen on a placard max keiser out a placard of peace broke out stock markets would crash this is from sven loach max stock markets are not crashing that means there is no peace well this is the amazing thing about these markets is that they are really seeding on a war and destruction because that's where the money's coming from to feed ali's bombing campaigns around the world principally from the countries whose stock
3:29 pm
markets are hurting all time highs like the u.s. stock market that's where the money is coming to continue the occupation of these. country so if there was a crash that would mean if he sort of break out then the stock markets would crash so that's why there will be no peace as long as there's a lot of cheap money feeding a lot of cheap wars on the cheap and you see a lot of death and destruction that's what these markets are telegraphing that's their financing that's what it's all about well the leading politicians here do not want the stock market markets to crash and so we have headlines like this lindsey graham predicts an american city in flames if obama doesn't go to war in iraq senator lindsey graham republican from south carolina warned on sunday that militants in iraq and syria would attack the u.s. mainland if president barack obama did not immediately take military action to stop them i think of an american city in flames because of the terrorist ability to operate in syria and iraq graham told fox news host chris wallace this is amazing propaganda some fox news as solid as lindsey graham.
