this is why you should care only on the calm. peaceful protests supporting your integration in ukraine are growing in numbers and it may be a calm before the storm as the country awaits its. e.u. leaders gather with all eyes on whether there's going to be a last minute u. turn from the ukrainian president association agreement with the. and also the south to tremors in texas unusually high number of quakes hits communities there as locals and scientists point the finger of fracking and. drones are finding an increasingly wide use all over the world but we are not going to operate them as other countries do it's not a video game we bring of libya putin's take on drone warfare and his assessment to the russian city that's said to be hosting the winter olympics in just two months time.
2:01 pm
this is our teachers time for eleven pm now here in moscow my name is kevin our first this hour the easy student recruits of convene for their summit with ukraine's president firmly in the spotlight tonight as he hesitates still over signing up or not to close ties of brussels meanwhile pro european demonstrations in kiev are into their fifth day with hundreds of people perceiving the parliament building day and night lectures rescues there. protests are growing in numbers in kiev right now i would say approximately thirty thousand people on independence square in the city center the process the speech will but this may well be a calm before the storm because we've already heard a statement coming from some opposition leaders that in case that you know college has not signed the euro station deal on friday in vilnius they will be taking
2:02 pm
people into the streets for a national wide strike and even inside what they describe as a euro revolution indeed this deal and this is what it's all about the we heard strong assurances from the government from the president that the deal will not be signed still these people here are hoping that the agreement will eventually be reached indeed it's a tricky situation because the korean government explain the move of not willing to sign this deal by economic damages possible economic damages to the country the economy which is already ailing and has a hundred thirty six billion euro a low debt debt and modernizing the factories ukrainian factories alone for the e.u. standards would have cost more than one hundred billion euros but in the case of ukrainian politics which is the growth of coaster ride and it has always been like that you can never say anything one hundred percent certainty and despite those assurances by the government and the president i mentioned there's still a chance that unocal which may take a u. turn the last minute you do and you turn and sign these deal michael the couple scott who is now in vilnius covering the summit will tell you more over to you paul
2:03 pm
well a year leaders and heads of state have gathered here in vilnius for the two day summit german the german chancellor angela merkel and british prime minister david cameron are amongst the guests attending an informal dinner on for stating it's believed they're going to be discussing their next move on how to deal with ukraine decided that this isn't the right time for them to sign that association agreement with the you know of course the summit was meant to be where the formalities were completed on that deal of the last week decision from kiev surprise many off the years a negotiation is to get to this point but the ukrainian president viktor yanukovych says that the terms of the deal. and agreeable for his country at the moment he says that the six hundred million euros on offer from the e.u. and the i.m.f. to the country to modernize simply is not enough now that is something the president of the european parliament has come close to admitting on today saying that the e.u. may have underestimated the drama of the domestic political situation in ukraine
2:04 pm
that the country is economically and above all financially in the deepest crisis for decades and he goes on to say that kiev needs money and a steady gas supply suggesting that's why they're leaning towards russia at this time now another largest stumbling block appears to be the fate of former prime minister and jailed opposition leader yulia tymoshenko she's currently in prison and in need of medical treatment on her back now they say that that was a precondition that she goes to germany to get treatment all not back however that money was blocked by ukraine's parliament now the e.u. offer does remain on the table with president going to college being given until the eleventh hour to change his mind if he chooses to do so but with the aid looking unwilling to budge on their stance that prospect looks unlikely. just a bit earlier we spoke to a little bit done an aide to the leader of france's national front real upin he says it's not surprising that ukraine is reluctant to go ahead with a deal right no. they're making interventionism inside the national politics of train i can totally understand the president of ukraine why he felt humiliated on
2:05 pm
this case there mixing up with the international internet all this is difficult questions about you get emotional go and chase the crane should be thinking twice about these offers which were seen as you will using and which even upsets the russian friends i mean what does the european union have to offer when it is politically divided when its depth is rising unemployment rate rising ukraine is divided into you have a pro european opinion you have pro russian opinion in this country for months history and its geography is complicated let's not make things even worse. the russian embassy in damascus has been hit by mortar fire the syrian security
2:06 pm
guard was killed but apparently none of the russian staff are believed to be hurt is a middle east correspondent paula slay with the latest tonight. we know that one syrian has been killed nine people have been injured including syrian security officials as of yet no information that points to any russian citizens having been killed or injured now the russian foreign ministry is calling this a terrorist attack we are also being told that there is in significant damage to the russian embassy building now the attack happened when a bomb exploded in the embassy premises earlier there was a mortar attack by anti government soldiers in the vicinity of where this industry building is the russian foreign ministry has issued a statement and i'm reading from it it says we resent and condemn decisively the attack by militants in central damascus and we consider this as an act of terror. for slayer that seems to russian diplomats not just being attacked on the ground in
2:07 pm
syria they're also being attacked the media just really you know later this hour we've got a report on why the foreign ministry's outraged over the way c.n.n. edited its interview with russia's ambassador to the u.n. . next there were three point six magnitude earthquake struck at area north texas it's the strongest tremor there in five years no damage or injuries reported but locals are brilliant left emotionally shaken by it and it's not everyone blaming mother nature for it either some scientists say that the drilling in there by fracking wells is actually setting off these quakes has been here for more than a dozen tremors this month alone it see more earthquakes in fact since fracking began there in two thousand and eight than during the previous four decades combined one texas resident of your folks there issued his experience with. we had like three hundred one of the two point five. and in that very point.
2:08 pm
and aren't berman in the house urged again and we did have some damage minor just a little crack and. my wife. come on larry. you never appear i'm being how. very like we're. really concerned about it we just move refresher of how this controversial process of fracking works and it's take a little unusually well is drill down run a thousand meters on the ground that into that well a mix of water as sound as well as tons of toxins called fracking fluids put in a high pressure they're pumped into that well that creates fishes then that allows the oil in the gas to reach the surface but the problem the harmful chemicals used for fracking accumulate in the soil the resulting contamination of groundwater and in the water table as well those toxins also evaporate up into the air cools again pollution so there's a growing movement to ban the process and it's confronting
2:09 pm
a powerful energy lobby keen to tap into the lucrative deposits split a texan activist sharon wilson a bit early she used to live near a fracking site until she made a really tough decision to abandon her home. at one time i turned my tap on and nothing came out which was very frightening the air was degraded horribly lots of air attacks tryouts lie no i was just it completely changed the character the worst concern for me was to end up without water or my son could end up being sick from the chemicals that he was being exposed to i lost eighty thousand dollars in property value as they expand this practice more and more people are harmed and more and more people join the opposition right now there is an entire neighborhood over five hundred pounds where they are fracking very very close two hundred fifty feet in some cases from people's backyards. well it seems using fracking to extract
2:10 pm
shale gas is actually more hazardous the burning the gas itself according to british anti fracking activists stephen hall there are better alternatives of disposal of we don't need for it whatsoever and not only that i mean people such as me that it's a transition feel. that america from the leakage is from all the wells that there is that there's lots of three to seven out the sense of leakage of the got since the atmosphere is a lot more pulse and greenhouse gas the waltzes c o two is sort of you know there's a test to be said it's actually a more harmful form of energy than burning coal in power stations. drones are not toys that's the message from the russian president to the gathering devoted to the country's the defense industry in sochi and
