just after one am here in moscow this morning a very good morning to you then where of you watching us around the world one is kevin i mean this is an international our top story the a use eastern recruits have convened and for their summit now with ukraine's president firmly in the spotlight as he has a tate's over signing up to close the ties with brussels meanwhile pro european demonstrations in kiev into the sixth day with hundreds of people besieging the parliament building day and night let's hear jet skis the protests are growing in numbers in kiev right now i would say approximately thirty thousand people are to use independence square in the city center to process the speech so but this may well be a calm before the storm because we've already heard statements coming from some opposition leaders that in case that you know polish does not sign the euro station deal on friday in vilnius they were. i'll be taking people into the streets for
4:02 pm
a nice and white strike and even inside what they describe as a euro revolution indeed this deal this is what it's all about 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 one hundred thirty six billion euro a low debt will 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 the coaster ride and it has always been like that you can never say anything with hundred percent certainty and despite those assurances by the government and the president mentioned there's still a chance that unocal which may take a u. turn a last minute u. turn you turn and sign these deals michael the couple scott who is now in vilnius
4:03 pm
covering the summit will tell you more over to you paul well. 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 thursday evening 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 in the gushy ations to get to this point but the ukrainian president viktor yanukovych says that the terms of the deal and to grable for his country at the moment he says the six hundred million euros on offer from the e.u. and the i.m.f. for 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
4:04 pm
that the country is economically in a bubble 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 larger 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 how bad you 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 you choose to do so it would be looking unwilling to budge on their stance that prospect looks unlikely. earlier we spoke a little bit did an aide to the leader of france's national front brain the pen he says it's not surprising that you credit reluctant to go ahead with the deal right now they're making interventionism inside the national politics of train i can totally understand the president of ukraine why he felt humiliated on this case
4:05 pm
there mixing up with the international internet this is difficult questions of don't you get emotion go in there in every case the korean should be thinking twice about these offers which were seen as you really aging and which even upsets the russian friends i mean what does the european union have to offer when it is politically if i did when it's that 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 a syrian security guards big killed but none of the russian staff are believed to
4:06 pm
be in his or middle east correspondent paula sleep with the latest. 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. but it seems russian ship just being attacked on the ground in syria but also in the media too just coming up later this reporting on why the foreign ministry is

4:08 pm
a little crack in the rock my wife. and one lady and she's here to appear and being how. i have. been like we have. shaken our. cave in they were really concerned about it well she's taken it from us it was how this controversial fracking process works a well is drilled sometimes up to a thousand meters underground into the well into that shaft a mix of water is sand and tons of talks it's called fracking fluids are pumped into high pressure creating fishes then that allow the old in the gas to reach the surface but the problem is the harmful chemicals used for fracking accumulate in the soil and they also contaminate ground water as well they get into the water table there the toxins also evaporate too up into the air and they cause air pollution so there's a growing movement to ban the process and it's confirmed seeing a powerful energy lobby the king to tap into lucrative deposits that he's up against i spoke to a texan activist shot and wilson she used to live near
4:09 pm
a fracking site until she made the really tough decision itself to abandon her own home. at one time i turned my tap on and nothing came out which was a very frightening thought the air was degraded horribly lots of air attacks trucks lie no i it was just it completely changed the character the worst concern for me was to end up without water or that 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 homes in jenin where they are fracking very very close two hundred fifty feet in some cases from people's backyards. using fracking to extract shale gas is actually more hazardous the burning the gas itself according to british t.v.
4:10 pm
stephen hole. there are much better alternatives are the disposal of we don't need fracking whatsoever and not only that i mean people such as me there is a transition feel i've been sure that america from the leakage is from all the wells that there is the rates of something out the sense of leakage of the gas into the atmosphere as a lot more potent greenhouse gas the what's see also as you know there's a chance to reset is 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 at a meeting in salt she devoted to the country's defense industry the military's going through some major changes the moment. the story while at the presidential residence the president has had a very busy day safe now he went on to talk
4:11 pm
a little bit about at the defense and aviation industry particularly about the drug use technology let's listen to what he had to say just in the 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 however it's absolutely clear that unmanned systems have a big future russia's armed forces are currently going through something of a transformation in fact if they've begun as modernization program since the soviet era the government says it needs to adapt to face up to new threats this all comes at a major cost of course hundreds of billions of dollars and the process will continue until twenty twenty old hardaway's being modernized and new cutting edge weaponry is being born but in time and abroad keeping up with global advances an unmanned military system is a vital part of this revamp drone technology has become highly sophisticated but is
4:12 pm
also very controversial. to hell reports of civilian deaths and u.s. drone strikes in yemen and pakistan all in the name of the war on terror russia is determined not to go down that road although it does want the technology so it's a new phase for russia's military but with some clear boundaries you place the bomb with a small cheap r t. m kevin i was hoping so with me for the next couple of minutes in the second half there's a news bulletin we bring you the latest on rest in egypt a lot more to. say was recently revealed that jamie diamond rented out blocking a palace in order to entertain his close friend tony blair the dinner took place only days before jamie dive in and agreed to give the us department of justice a very small cut mortgage fraud and oh how the penniless peasants outside

printing young prince or in the arts he was granted an exclusive tour of their austin facility which boasts ten three d. industrial printers and a glimpse of our technological future these are all the three d. printed parts that went into making this car after getting a federal firearms license the company used a process called direct metal laser centering to produce this browning nine hundred eleven pistol takes about twenty five to thirty five hours depending on the machine we put it on and what materials were grown in. this three d. printing and metal gun has fired over one thousand rounds in the meantime solid concepts has manufactured its second nineteen eleven firearm we plan on making a few more prototypes for additional testing. and we don't we don't plan on going into full production on these we can afford to sell them. at the price of be
4:23 pm
required to get our money back while the prices of many three d. printers have fallen below one thousand dollars solid concepts insists the stainless steel firearm they've introduced to the world can't be replicated by hobbyists these machines start at six hundred thousand and go up to a million dollars they need to be in. industrial environments they require more electricity than is available in residential areas and they require inert gases in the chamber that are just not commonly available so it's definitely an industrial commercial type process and it will be years before metal printers become available on the consumer market if at all not exactly the world's first mini metal maker has already been created it prints using precious metal clay and with laser centering patterns set to expire in february it's predicted that metal desktop printers will hit the consumer market before you know it five years and how small this is going to do it maybe five years after that you starts at home workshops and and you know
4:24 pm
having one on your desktop at home so that we are going there that technology exists the price will come down. as the world has learned the convenience of technology has a downside we all loved the internet cell phones e-mail and social media before finding out that our beloved data is being monitored and stored by the n.s.a. . the astonishing capability of three d. metal printers is no longer a secret. so when they become a part of our household tap alongside the microwave and flat screen t.v. thing what people choose to physically in the privacy of their home thing will be beyond the control of the u.s. government growing up or naive r.t. texas say the things to come then will plastic cheaper to produce the metal ones right now the first plastic forum was printed back in may so father's proven to be not reliable but as marina said in
4:25 pm
a report that metal printers are becoming more affordable potentially than making a possible for old re people to stop working replicas of proper firearms one expert in the field told me more about the dangers of three d. printed guns as well. it's a very universal kind of technology that can be used in los a different way some some good some not so good but it is alarming that people have started printing guns i would say the most dangerous thing is let's say a gun that doesn't look like a gun but looks like a flower vase or something else and so that this this ability to make things in any shape and form really defies a lot of the conventional thinking around regulating guns around detecting them and so forth and i think that's sort of it's a whole new world when it comes to controlling these kinds of things. internationally brief now.

4:28 pm
thirty six olympics nazi pseudo science their self-proclaimed superiority was put on trial for the whole world to see and spent the olympics having the majority of the countries on earth participating they're now horribly horribly bland one could argue that they have become a great way for countries to show off their ex used to build up some infrastructure by i think this is a big misconception let's look back to the two thousand a lympics in beijing yet china is really develop in the last twenty years but the olympics really teach us anything about this country with a radically different political system or anything about their ancient culture or the way they think or the way they live no nothing at all all we saw were some flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yeah i have to say i think the olympic flame is kind of burnt out over the years although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind of neat i think that when and if the world ever becomes an ideological battleground again and then the olympics will become worth watching but for now it's just generic sports from generic countries a generic stadiums but that's just my opinion.
