a half percent last year it was only one point three percent economist jeffrey summers explains why he believes it's a catastrophe. we have the ever shrinking g.d.p. we have the loss of crimea horse the lost production from the donbass region and the cost of the civil war it so so it's really quite a catastrophe and i would say that the i.m.f. is regarding the ability of ukraine to pay bondholders or itself. not only is the country's g.d.p. falling but its energy bill was increasing and this represents not only a worsening of its balance of payments position but also makes ukrainian industry you know what little there is left function and even less competitive even higher energy costs moreover we have the situation or it has to pay for expensive gas with a declining currency is. where the conflict has wrecked the heartland of ukraine's economy they don't yet see where the country's main plants and factories are based

going to invest in the back of the up nobody who's going to invest in a call to me where you don't have a clear rule of law where you cannot appreciably believe that your assets will not be in some way squandered taken away through bribery or indeed all right still of nobody. kiev continues to keep its silence over the whereabouts of missing russian photo correspondent andre stan and that's despite ukraine's top human rights official expecting to be briefed on the case over the weekend stan in disappeared in ukraine three weeks ago as a global movement calling for his release with argentina the latest country to join the campaign there has rights groups and activists have launched an online appeal to kiev to do everything possible to find him we're posting all the latest information about standing on our web site r.t. dot com. islamic state militants waging war in iraq and syria have managed to carry out

if they reaching their shores and believes that they should maintain a responsibility to go on trial no place else wastes of those it's a problem that no one wants to have isn't it back in cali dinner time is while they're here these men and women's lives are taken up by simple questions like where their next meal will come from or how they can get a shower all the authorities in france and britain continue to wash their hands of them. kalai and over. while the migrant situation in cali is growing increasingly strong the first six months of this year i have a seven thousand illegal immigrants were arrested that's more than double the previous year. well coming off an aussie international moments of calm after weeks of rage the u.s. town of ferguson prepares to pay its final respects to attain a just shot dead by police. the story of one man who made his dreams

a free country the race quickly boiled down to two candidates on the one side there is the man who championed for change and led the protest on the other a loyal follower of the ousted president who served as minister of security. both promise a new age for a party and then to mass poverty pandemic corruption and government excess. playing exactly on the citizens desire officials told us they did all they could to allow voters to have their say the elections unfolded in a calm atmosphere we didn't ever think what we could that all that because people can company hold despite the very small budget almost one hundred international observers from twenty four countries were here joined by the locals we ran into the much various polling stations they went about their duties and that's what they thought of this poll. when you're playing with them in the voting has gone really well the election is fair open and has been held in accordance with the nation's
