and then twenty fourteen and overseen by the international committee of the red cross so the so there were some good signs also noises made on both sides about the potential for un peacekeeping force earlier in the year so there were signs that the conflict was showing some positive developments towards deescalation and so on but unfortunately there's there's been a there's been a tendency since right back to the beginning of this conflict that whenever there are the signs of the escalation the u.s. and its allies will do a move make a move such as this that will add fuel to the fire of the conflict in order to keep it going that's been the that's been a tendency right since the early days of the conflict when when tanks were first sent into eastern ukraine there were signs of fraternizing amongst the troops and there was not going very well at all and so that prompted visits by a number of high level u.s. officials including joe biden at the time and was then followed up by a major military escalation a reorganization of

a number of paramilitary groups to work more closely fascist militias basically to work more closely with the army so this is a this is a tendency throughout the conflict that when there are these signs of the escalation the u.s. will do something to fuel the fire and that seems to be exactly what's happening here looking at their explanations for this down the pentagon said that this sale will build ukraine's long term defense capacity to defend itself i mean can you issue that comment is being pointed at russia. no i think it's probably been pointed out that the movement in the donbass and the east of the ukraine is clear that clear that this these these are who the weapons are intended to be used against. not against. another nation state necessarily or. even likely it's these these are part of the ongoing civil war in the ukraine and that's what the these are intended to escalate and i think the

reasons for it is that the. u.s. wants to see this conflict syria wants to destabilize russia's borders it wants to ensure that they're hostile relations remain between ukraine and moscow and there may even be an element to which this deal is part of a package we could even call it a bribe you see the ukrainian government right now as we speak is hosting a conference of international investors in ukraine including the i.m.f. and the u.s. are represented and so on and there's an i.m.f. package in which the ukraine government has been dragging its feet over privatizing state owned land raising gas prices and so on and you can government has not been keen to implement this for the obvious reason it would implement social chaos as it has done in every other country on earth as oppose these reforms so it may be that this deal was intended as a kind of sweetener to drive through these reforms and get the ukrainian government to drive them through there's nothing like a with

a military aid to make the medicine go down a bit of ultra nationalism for the population to make the medicine go down so i think these things all have to be seen in the context of each other sure ok dan always good to get your insight there was down days but they're independent political analysts thank you. know the video has emerged showing the moments leading up to a palestinian man's death during an israeli raid in the west bank just a warning there you might find some of the following scenes upsetting yes. in you can be seen running down an alleyway here wielding an object of some kind he is then shot at by an israeli soldier the soldier and his colleagues proceed to kick him on the ground and then dragged him along the alley he died later from his injuries the israeli army has changed its version of events his several times for sleepy i.d.f. said he detect the soldiers with a knife receive stayed at the scene but then it said he did tank them with

a nine bar a mistake and the hospital now be according to the i.d.f. latest statement he died from tear gas inhalation the soldier who opened fire on us that are the was interviewed by i.d.f. investigators he claimed he thought his own life was in danger but we did speak to a member of the fattah revolutionary council who believed that the idea don't consider palestinians human their incited to deal with palestinians as subhumans the whole rhetoric of him to do human eyes the palestinian people is something that the israeli army and now even schools are known for they can save people's lives they can avoid killing people but it is the choice they get from the training school education and all the incitement and all the dehumanization of the palestinian people that makes them act in such

a criminal fashion. ok let's get the thoughts now of arab affairs commentator for the israel today newspaper and he joins us good evening to you mr bercow thanks for coming on firstly what were your thoughts when you first saw this video. well first of all i would define what the police. spokesman said fully nonsense if you compare it mainly if you compare the r. of states of mind of the states around the you can see mass killing mess occurs all over this area and they take this poor event to show their situation from a very very i would say biased point of view in on the statement but from my point of view it was actually a very very obvious at least at this stage we are now on a of

a situation from which you can see a man at tacking the army with a bar with an iran steed something that naturally risking the soldier life the one who stands at the point at the corner of the street so he's a response was naturally to immediate defend themselves by shooting the man who is attacking him this is part of the time sure that it is in the concerns of everybody would do such a thing in case of immediate danger of one's life let's put it aside then analyze the are there. developments that occurred afterwards that deserve a real interaction a real investigation but i can tell you i myself was an officer in a coma there are several points in this event that should be on allies one is that the soldiers who came later on didn't necessarily know that the man was injured by the bullet you should take into account the bullet of cali better point

two two inch is a very dangerous bullet very very small andrews' sometimes d a d x it is not clear and maybe the soldiers didn't as you reported later on didn't. i know that actually he was wounded this is one so nobody must condemn a situation which anybody including palestinian is on the ground being hit to this is something that explains the fact that the army still interrogate them to you is still in investigating them show mr. dozens that because the i.d.f. has changed its story of events several times the man is meant to have a knife really very good question sir. listen i don't know whether you've been in bethel bethel feel the situation that it's very complicated i

try to give this fact see you and all humans because this is a very complicated thing if the army would stick a lie they would stick the first version but that the army was fair and sincere enough to listen to the first report and free the first version and later on understand that it was a mistake and change and correct himself this is dig the grace of the i.d.f. to be fair in sassoon off to admit that the first person was wrong you know the way from battlefield to the headquarters is not that simple and the version might be changed in any case it was a very clear cut attack being made by the palestinian whether it was a knife or a bar this is not something that changes that believe boom it was a very unique aggressive that their own soldiers nobody can deny what i saw in

karma to put it aside mr baca as you well said i'm going after wrapping army he says you're going to have their signs only shows one thing in your permission to complete the fact that the army has changes its version it's only shows the fact that the army is in readiness to sharara. the reality and the truth and not stick to a verizon that is not suitable to the truth and reality ok mr kerry appreciating the other side of the argument that was driven by the arab affairs commentator israel today nice type of thank you. take my warnings of a global trade war following trumps tough tiris terrorists will have that story and explain why pessimists say just after the break.

if anyone thinks about that for the sake of joining the european union serbia would recognize kosovo under the conditions that they impose right now and not on the basis of one of dialogue a compromise very wrong with the once a compromise but the solution proposed by cost of oil is not the real solution. to. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read in truth to stand distance is just the right questions to the right answer. the. question.

again i tried warsaw good and easy to win but hey if you're america that's what donald trump has tweeted after he announced change tires on steel and aluminum imports to the us they're going to be instituting tariffs. next week what we saw i think we're going to have new jobs popping up we're going to have much more vibrant companies and then the rest is going to be up to management to make a truly great or trans move threatens to cast a major blow to asian canadian and european markets some of the largest global steel and aluminum exporters have already suggested they could retaliate the european union has said it will react firmly to defend its interests and file counter measures germany warned of the same saying that washington should be clear

about its intentions and canada joined that chorus as well and strong words were also heard from china. the u.s. has seriously harmed the interests of chinese and the minium full exporters in china head by expresses dissatisfaction to counter the run practices of the us china will take necessary measures to defend its legitimate rights and interests that china expert andrew long believes that trans move will not only spark an international trade war but could also backfire on washington itself. this electoral measure it is ripping up the rules of in the national trade and secondly it's not going to do america any good because. of the cost of production so the costs much more to produce the same thing in the united states to other countries so this is the more than economy where everything is connected by lapping this tariffs on steel it's not going to bring. the american steel industry

competitive what is being affected the united states immediately would be the cost of a lot of jobs are at stake inside america so i think that this is really going against the grain and also other countries i mean there was a lot of. instruments. in. likely going to start a trade war which is not good for anyone. now the most frequently used word in newspaper headlines in italy last year was migrant and the issue of immigration is likely to pay a big part in this sunday's general election at the moment public opinion does seem to be divided with right leaning parties gaining momentum as you can see from this chart for the italia league in order are forecast to get something like thirty percent of the vote both parties are known for their tough stance on immigration italy has been struggling to cope with the continuing flow of newcomers well and

this is it travel to one italian time which does hope its approach to migrants will be adopted nationwide we are incest asunder vani on the outskirts of milan in the north of italy once an industrial town used to have overwhelmingly communist views dubbed the stalingrad of the country today those views have all but vanished with elections in italy just around the corner this place hopes to lead by example in tackling immigration and tolerance seems to be the last of concerns. whatever will help the situation must be done it's very important in other countries they are already doing these kinds of things and no one gets offended because it is a warranty for us and them. we need to find the best solution possible first we need to find out how many migrants we can identify through digital fingerprints and any other systems then we need to see if this works. they are human beings too but

if there are hundreds of thousands coming into italy every year we really have a problem we can't accommodate. them and you know of it would be very difficult for the system to work where not alone in france and germany the situation is even worse but they don't have the same level of hate towards migrants that we have here most recently two hundred migrants were expelled from here plans to build one of the biggest mosques in northern italy were blocked and works to install facial recognition security cameras are already underway. how we got it done burning the mosque and removing migrants of them is looking to us for advice. that what was left had plans to build one of the biggest most in northern italy this project would have meant turning my city into italy's mecca this was

a criminal project that would have turned the san giovanni into a magnet for muslims. at the. start of the surveillance project which will check the engines the exits to the town based on the israeli model including facial recognition and monitoring number plates so everyone who enters and leaves town. i hope saudi hope that after the next sunday we will have a government in rome and that will do the same we are doing in an unpredictable vote italy will go to the polls on sunday immigration is a card being played passionately by all sides of the spectrum so it's who can take lead that will determine whether models like this one will be followed around the

country reporting from so as to sunder vonnie in italy and associates working or for r.t. meanwhile allegations of trying to influence the election of this but this time it's not a foreign power trying to meddle but an actress a model she claims she has been blocked from instagram over the potential sways she could have on the upcoming election i was browsing on my normally a word out of a sudden the screen disappeared i was very surprised i never violated instead rumpole. someone of their society did that i might influence. the public opinion on a disturbing part i selene over there has a history of unconventional campaigning on social media she first hit headlines back in twenty sixteen and that was during a referendum on constitutional reforms when she launched a controversial campaign against the move the activists promised free sexual

services for those who voted no and she also claims she made good on her promise. by campaigning was not strictly political i created a pompadour as in that stating my opinion about river and him and and bring a lot of attention. to does he is sure basically i was against a constitutional reform they proposed that did well potentially arming seated sense right. i am super proud of my country i love being italian and. i think that is an amazing country. i just want that people to vote with their heart and candidates. whoever and wherever would win them in. can war to create

a bad award for all of us for our children and it's unjust that a lot of talented guys as to get out of italy because things are not good here because there is no war i think that we need are we deserve more than we have right now i want people to be social and volcker. about dale pena. you're watching us international good to have you company to not go back with more news at the top there. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the running closest to protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent.

with no middle of the room sick. anymore you need to really. pay everybody i'm stephen baldwin tast hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v.'s to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru as well just a little bit different i'm honest abraham lincoln or no no no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans come home and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american to.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. chose seemed wrong when old rules just told. me you didn't get to shape out just because get educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. the pittsburgh police internal report states that the officer had repeatedly

violated the rules he shouldn't have such in the car despite this why in hospital leo is told that he received twenty years of imprisonment. and putting the lives of policemen in danger. today with his family by his side near tries to get back to a normal life the officer who shot lee and still works in the pittsburgh police department. he was working around here he knocked on her door one day the say. so act of millions ounds call the police for another matter because the same officer arrived i just couldn't believe my ass i mean it felt like my legs was coming up was just so stark that you believed. that i was just scared that

you know he may do something to me. is this is another person so. if you want to show you a black man join the police were police did in addition to his disability and is now suffering from severe anxiety and depression he sued the pittsburgh police department. the prosecutor canceled the charges against me and if he weeks ago in order to improve the relationship between the police and the black community he said. in pittsburgh the relationship between the police and the black community is far from being good it was in homewood an afro-american neighborhood that the police shot lee and ford. in these disadvantaged districts. high crime rate the gap between police and citizens is huge. we met these americans who

live in poverty and who were the first victims of police abuse. people are more afraid of police than of criminals. faced with this fear the community gets organized after school the younger out there in the house they only even home which and are between ten and sixteen years of age but you guys can make it right there are we past aside issues around us. so we can just start to learn when or how or not succumbing to the teacher is like the big brother the situation is hard to believe he is teaching them how to protect themselves from the police. say your parents. because with that you're fitting into

a stereotype that's the kind of stuff dick can avoid to keep you out of any kind of situation or keep you out of trouble or not go horrible on you just because we're not. we're dormant because i don't want to be the next person though employing you to as some i just get killed by a police officer because that can happen remember taylor rice where we talk about the killing clearly it's twelve years old do you think the who ordered twelve and here who's two zero. broke that could've been you know man. that could have been one either you or three that could have been you know he has three teaches a part of an indian for the protection of the black community so they tend discuss twice a month where here because we sorely need to educate the young people who are community

on things that really matter in their lives with things that can really save their lives their pursuit of police behind us we usually put mace or a seat belts on we look straight forward we know not to turn around using proper you know grammar when they do pull you over try to be polite. no matter what the situation or are you a curse whatever officers on duty how they feel and personally you just got to go off of his prayers and hope you can find a way out the situation a lot of people look at as a threat they think they were all violent or all criminals and things like that so just try to be respectful and carry yourself differently just so people on firstly will look at you different you carry yourself to. the young people who listen carefully to the advice i terrified at the thought of meeting the police. i feel i do a bigger split in the people around me know. do you feel safe when you have to go to

school so you know like because in the past so many people have been in jail for doing nothing when there are some police i suppose and i know i say so. you can see something happening in this is like i don't want to call the cops well. because well it's a it's a it's a day where it's a fight it's in the saw something happens in a group people are fighting i would rather fit in either i can see let that happen rather than call the cops and then those young black men lose their lives. if the trait it is because they're constantly controlled without reason in the classroom to have has zero. roads. been stopped just in districts bay to produce.

them but how many times. the way our. mind frame was going at that point there are three four five times. the rich reason those who say just walk is. no walk on the very well. pharisees whole life walking home run on a clogged this. or that family's house just on the disc on the stump and the reason . and the story goes on and all the neighborhood. does for nothing goes walking down the street. and my life tell us a maybe like six or seven times so there's a whole lot i'll be all about bullies i'm not the light i get pulled over for me no way have i done well. i can't even tell you no it's not stopped that's more than i can i can count but it's you mean it ten times. maybe.

ten eleven twelve i don't count i don't know i don't keep track believe in the us the police is allowed to stop any passes by if it suspects a risk or criminal threats according to the agents this practice is a way to prevent crime but from professor james brown's point of view it increases the risk of making huge blunders the idea was if you want to increase the contact between the police and only certain public you know not everybody is mostly folks in high crime or poor urban communities any time you increase the contact between police and citizens you're. crease the likelihood that something can go. in two thousand and thirteen in pittsburgh half of the time these controls did not lead to any arrests and blacks who represent twenty six percent of the population

were controlled in sixty two percent of cases. like. this practice had its heyday in new york in two thousand and eleven where the police record and yet he choose thousand checks a day in one cases out of ten they were unjustified and as always those who are most targeted where the black people. in the figures are revokable but no policeman dest to admit it. i've. yet the former officer has agreed to break the silence his assessment is alarming the hunt for black people in which he participated is part of a racist system that he condemns today. bravely wastes lives out in the countryside far from philadelphia where.
