to move regionally. ukraine is struggling to pay its gas bill to moscow but is running out merging its nationalized energy firm with russia's gazprom to try and lower costs present and it says kids proposals on the issue are not concrete and the current deal can't be revised unilaterally previous disputes left europe in the cold after transit supplies were cut as alexie had reports ukraine's busy looking for ways to go it alone when the two thousand and nine disruption to european gas supply sparked when ukraine blocked transit of russian gas ended the continent gave a collective sigh of relief but the issue has remained a thorn in the side for. it is pushing hard for a discount from the current market price of four hundred us dollars four thousand cubic meters. we made ourselves clear if they want cheaper gas can integrate with us into a common economic space if they don't want got can give us

a good commercial offer like selling their gas transportation system to us they don't want any of those only discounts however it seems kiev is already looking for an alternative the scape ruled it has signed an eight hundred million dollar contract with royal dutch shell to explore its reserves of shale gas but experts warn about the danger to public health that with the boy just chill gas is extracted by hydro fracking that means special chemicals around into the water to break up the rock formations the components of these chemicals are kept secret by the companies in the united states who claim it's a commercial secret but dark water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shale gas development poses a serious threat to the environment and health care apart from being seen as unsafe it is also described by many as too expensive and can hardly replace natural gas. we're watching the situation and we think that locally very viable but it will

remain a local gas supply it's impossible to extract gas at a loss for long and if you look at the she'll get suppliers right now you'll see that most of them are losing money experts say shale gas reserves in ukraine may be the biggest in europe but it may take up to eight decades to develop them never the last key of claims next year it wants less russian gas slashing the amount it plans to buy by more than a third a move that violates the two thousand and nine deal and could see europe's energy supplies once again on shaky ground another tussle over gas price between kiev and moscow left many warring in europe that there will be another gas war and another disruption of supplies into the european continent but the russian energy minister reassured that the events of two thousand and nine will not happen again and that there is still enough time to find a compromise solution alexy recess. reporting from kiev in ukraine. thirteen minutes past the hour here in a quick look at what's being updated for you at all two don't call nuts website.

a time when the economy is already slowing down they created zero jobs which is just perfect for washington because they bad zero on just about everything that's thrown at a war on drugs wars in afghanistan wars on education you name it they what they do is zero so what it shows us is that at a time when things are slowing down it's going to be much worse all of this hue we be a lists all of the obama's stimulus and bush talked way to go it's called too big to fail so the money went all to the too big and the rest of the people the too small to say the gap between the rich and the poor is the widest in the united states than any of the industrialized nations and it's the same trend that's going

on worldwide. america's decade long war on terror is just one of the drains on the country's economy costing trillions of dollars and thousands of long nights later we'll see whether it was really a price worth paying. the war actually in sort of the more thorough as we put it that's my opinion but that's the european opinion so to speak the europeans they are not as aggressive in the war against terrorism those. were in new york the epicenter of the money and i've been trying to find out whether the people there really do feel safe.

and then hand at the cemetery for the victims which is called the city of angels the names of the victims who were killed during the siege were read out to the sound of the ticking clock and during this time and it took more than twenty five minutes to read all the names people remained silent as the ruins of the school at one o five pm moscow time that's exactly the time when first explosions at the school ring out as church bells ring twice followed by a minute of silence and during this minutes most of the women started to cry and there was one woman she was time to very close to us and she started calling for her son and she was calling so loud that it was a terrifying moment for many who gathered that the bassline tragedy destroyed lives of hundreds over here in the north of such here and so seven years have passed the pain still remains. when on to some of the world of the news this world

turnabout says it's holding thirty pakistani police who were kidnapped after mistakenly crossing the afghan border the boys aged between twelve and a team of visiting and they just want to celebrate the muslim festival agreed when they were seized some ministers local authorities both sides face a challenge in security almost two and a half thousand kilometer boundary. in south sudan thousands of refugees are fleeing a depleted border region after violence flared up as the third outbreak of fighting since the country became independent in july a state of emergency was declared in the region on friday after clashes broke up between armed forces and a rebel group the decades long war for south sudan's independence has claimed thousands of lives. police in germany used water cannon and battens against left wing extremists who are protesting over an annual neo nazi march and at least one officer was seriously injured as leftist protesters attacked police by hurling

stones and bottles the march route runs through an immigrant neighborhood in the city and marks the start of world war two when germany attack poland in one nine hundred thirty nine. a fast moving wildfire has broken out in a major interstate highway between southern california las vegas and the u.s. a busy freeway was temporarily closed as the flames scorched the desert bush traffic queued for several kilometers as people try to head out of town for labor day weekend. they have tress has retired from the u.s. military after years of commanding the wars in iraq and afghanistan he takes over the cia next week and wants to keep a firm hand on the money saying that any military budget cuts will hamper the fragile and reversible gains made by the armed forces but all of these military contributed thinks it's about time the pentagon cut its cloth. during his farewell address the fourth mayor's general petraeus touched up on several very significant things first the general cautioned against troops being american mistake after

vietnam war and to prevent hollowing u.s. army also cautioned to keep counting insurgency doctrine alive and to call for maintaining the full spectrum operation capabilities for the united states forces there real danger for that and to get in the twenty first century is not that it cuts might lead to hollow the army but the army itself is growing more and more irrelevant and become invention challenges at least for the united states for to reasons first due to the ass symmetrical nature of the current and all the horizon challenges and secondly that it is more exception than as a rule but the american g.i.'s being the most expensive soldier in the world it is the united states bad it has to be it so last more than anything else

regarding the pentagon cuts just over a week america will mark a decade since suffering is with terrorism on whom soil nine eleven the touchpaper fool a war on terror that sold the us invaded iraq and afghanistan and eventually led to the killing of osama bin laden but the scars in new york remain more health and it's also people who have what they feel today's world is and he's safe. the so-called war on terror that launched after the tragic nine eleven attacks on the us has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars by some estimates so ten years later has the effort been worth it this week let's talk about that i think it's more secure now i think that i believe that yes is it trillions of dollars safer. i can say that i don't know the war actually inside of more terror than it's that's my opinion but that's the european opinion so to

speak as you know the europeans they are not as aggressive in the war against terrorism as the americans so both america the u.k. anybody is involved in it just just back off. but that's a hard to know because if you do back away they've won and you don't want to let the terrorists win so it's just it's not easy to come up with the right answer if anybody wants to you know to cause trouble or to or to provoke some kind of attack they can do so with or without a war so would you categorize the war on terror as a failure. as unnecessary do you think the world the safer because of it i don't know i think that we have been out of offending the court waiting for to get him more than three hours and i think that maybe is excessive but i don't know so do you think that we're giving up too much liberty in the world in the name of security i think the death of the danger is very close we have to give more

liberties and if the world becomes safer and maybe we can get them back you're ok with giving them up for a while yeah i think so we should probably stop using the word for starters and the war on terror stop using the phrase just it's just just a stupid phrase and was coined for political reasons i think we should should stop using bad and just just do what needs to be done whether or not you think it's been . worth the effort but the bottom line is the war on terror has been bloody and costly and we still have yet to see any clear plan for it that it's. twenty six minutes past the hour here most going all but the recap of our top stories in just a few minutes from now stay with us live here on r.t. .
