welcome you're watching international. now we start with breaking you say you kinds of tense ministry says all forty nine people on board a military transport plane that was shot down against our dead before those details emerged paul scott told us more about the crash the ukrainian defense ministry has confirmed that a military jet was shot down as it approached lugansk airport no exact details of the figure of casualties have so far been released but reports are suggesting that thirty people could have been on board it's reported been shot down using anti aircraft or ninety aircraft makes up the ukrainian defense ministry have also confirmed that at the time it was carrying troops equipment machinery and food of

course lugansk has been bombarded by the ukrainian military and air force in recent weeks it's really been one of the centers of the ukrainian army's all the anti terror operation as they're calling it in fact earlier this month eight civilians were killed when a ukrainian military asteroid hit the city center well in terms of what else is happening in the region the ukrainian army says it has regained control of the port city of mariupol following intense fighting there the ukrainian military have targeted the city as well as part of this anti terror operation as they're calling it following intense battles they say that they have reclaimed not a useful five activists were killed in the ukrainian flag is now flying above the administrative building there meanwhile moscow is calling for an investigation into reports that white phosphorus bombs have been dropped on the city of slavyansk the city is also seen fist fighting of course in recent weeks between pro and anti

government forces but videos have emerged showing what appears to be fire bombs being dropped on the city these weapons are banned by the united nations despite the video footage and i witness reports kiev is denying such weapons have been used . that was paul scott in kiev and as i mentioned earlier paul filed that report before it emerged from ukraine's defense ministry that all forty nine people on board that military jet have been killed. meanwhile russian security services say that the ukrainian armored vehicles crossed the border into russia on friday guards there detained one of the vehicles after it got stuck without power it's all components with them returned to ukrainian territory there was swift reaction on the diplomatic front russia's foreign ministry immediately demanded ukraine stop such provocations refugees fleeing the crisis needs to crane claim the army won't let men leave the country later in the program we visit

a refugee camp over the border in russia to hear from the wives and children sheltering from the conflict. ukraine's prime minister has ordered the country's ministries to get ready for gas cuts from monday that's the deadline moscow has given kiev to pay half of its energy debt if not gazprom will introduce a prepayment system meaning kiev only getting exactly as much gas as it pays for up front or kevin i mean talk to r.t. correspondent renegotiate go about why kiev isn't paying. so are these latest gas price talks of collapse we seem to be back to square one who's holding it up is ukraine or is it russia was the picture all depends on who you ask for example ukraine says that russia's price is too high and moscow says that kiev demands are simply absurd so let's have a look at the facts first starters ukraine admittedly owes billions of dollars to russia and gazprom has actually moved the deadline for payment back four times and

now it's over seven rounds of negotiations but their economy is so at the moment are they going to pay that that is true but remember that i.m.f. loan that ukraine has already gotten and that is actually enough to cover part of their debt and that the fact is russia is not even asking them to pay back in full at least half of what heroes and if they do there's a deal for that moscow well actually throw in a retroactive discount on what ukraine owes and that will save the country millions of desperately needs if war but to the present ukraine is this latest disco the result for the one that was on the table is just to haul it's not enough so would we go from here well here's a perspective on the gas price russia is offering three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters which is already eight hundred dollars less than the current running price what's more is that russia has actually guaranteed that rate for a year regardless of whether market prices go up and as

a matter of fact even europe's energy chief has called the offer very reasonable. i believe that three hundred eighty five dollars is a reduction that could be considered reasonable depending on the volume and length of the contract it could even be less than three hundred eighty five and that will then be the final price so really what stake for europe in all of this well look at the map and you can see that ukraine is actually a major transit hub for european gas and of key of miss is a payment and the supplies are cut off then they have a history of siphoning gas intended for europe and that could force russia to cut that off to is exactly what europe is so worried about in this circumstances. well gazprom chairman alexey miller has his own suspicions about why there's no progress from the ukrainian side. perhaps the ukrainians of outside advisors it's just that we've observed from the very beginning of the talks that the ukrainian side never really wanted any compromise or any deal. and former british diplomat william

manson goes even further naming who he thinks directly stands to benefit russia supplies. these under instructions from the united states of america very very large industrial companies this is also another subtle way of controlling the europeans remember because when and if russia quite rightly stops delivering gas which isn't paid for of course like last time like the previous two times the ukraine will simply siphon off that gas which will cause some problems in europe which will further encourage the europeans to be forced to eventually start buying american very expensive american gas as well that's all part of the business plan on our three dot com right now we've got details of one solution to the gas round put in a bid on a day the price though has rocketed to a level anyone would balk at it is a spoof auction no and even guarantee delivery. iraqis

verging on collapse a brutal jihadist offshoot of al qaida has taken two more cities northeast of baghdad after murderously rampaging its way through the north the fear now is that the capital itself could form the towns of saddam. the group known as isis sending security forces fleeing from the area deadly sectarian tensions within the country are at their worst in years sunni tribal leaders are reportedly joining the how does ranks to fight against the weakened she led government that is the u.s. considers sending out military help to the beleaguered iraqi army including the possibility of air strikes and drone attacks is artie's be any. president obama's message to iraq is the u.s. will help it fight the militants but it will not put boots on the ground he said he would be reviewing a range of options in the coming days this could mean air strikes but the president has not made a decision yet he also indicated that it's not up to the u.s.

to solve iraq's problems we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq but i have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support iraq security forces and i'll be reviewing those options in the days ahead we can't do it for them in the absence of this type of political effort short term military action including any assistance we might provide won't succeed the sectarian war in iraq broke out after the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three and has been a source of constant violence ever since it has allowed to the militants with the islamic state of iraq and syria again to gain momentum and recruits the fight against assad in syria is further bolstered these militants and gave them new resources they are now in control of large parts of iraq including iraq's second largest city of mosul the goal of this militant group is to create

a caliphate or an islamic state across a vast area that includes syria and iraq when taking over mosul heavily armed radicals overran police stations freed more than a thousand prisoners from the city jail and to go over the international airport iraqi forces apparently red in the face of leaving behind. uniforms weapons and armored vehicles those could be weapons that the u.s. provided to the iraq to security forces that are now in the hands of these militants more than half a million people have fled seeking refuge the situation for most iraqis is dire and it has been so for years they were promised democracy but all they've seen is violence with no end in sight. they stay with us here or not to meet the russian peasant is giving the grand mosque is a run for their money these brothers recent you saw as foreigners would pinpoint accuracy can finding even the experts and we join them in the lead after the break .

there's a new i'm a grown prisoner and i've got a polygamist family looking for a woman who understands me anyway and i want her to share my goal of saving our people from extinction of those who. have had to found marriage and she said while you changed how i to teach you to what's been a chemist and have decided to find a man to marry as. the machine we want to mold women who could say you kids together with that. my dream is to have let's say thirty to forty. ok to do that with only one wife so it's impossible. but in the words of mary operands just a face full of water makes the austerity go down yesterday go down down. balance

and buybacks and banks are feathering their nests of notes on to rest while the plundering approaches are strings and will the. boom boom boom and bust but just like just hold water there to go down. again welcome back over nine thousand people have come to russia from eastern ukraine in the past couple of days as kiev's military lays waste to times during its crackdown on the uprising. visited one refugee camp to hear some of their stories. this typical russian summer camp for children is usually filled with joy however the mood here and in the other three summer camps which have been partly converted to refugee camps that are visited is far from cheery mentee of the me is meaningless to ever think has changed for me i used to have

a great job at home my husband and i were living great and then one day i had to leave everything behind. here with her son and she's due to give birth in less than a month to another child and like everyone else she has fled the shelling in the east of ukraine. but when you leave home for awhile he usually want to come back but at some point you realize that you don't have anything to come back to there's no returning to a government which is trying to kill you and destroy all your belongings. lisa tries her best to look brave and says she's not scared for her life anymore but her worries are far from over i'm very worried about my father and brother the haven't led them out of the country the city they can come here and we're very scared for them. there's no mood to. receive awful we were ready for anything someone could have easily thrown a bomb inside a bus during a bus ride we were told not to talk on the phone because someone could be listening

and ready to drop bombs on us. nearly nine thousand refugees cross the border with russia in the last couple of days alone most have only one thought in mind the safety of their children organizers volunteers authorities and everybody else involved trying to make the children stay here as carefree as a possible however the kids emotional state is far from camp like sound of a plane or any other loud noise for that matter still shocks them as they search for the nearest bomb shelter people here are grateful for the aid and shelter some are preparing to head on to stay with relatives or friends in russia while for others these refugee camps are all they have now costs are of artsy south and russia. britain may lose some of its independence over its nuclear deterrent is it steps of collaboration with the us over warheads it's another step in the already widespread cooperation between the two which includes sharing intelligence prisoner

exchanges as party boyko reports such ties don't always of britain well america and britain already share you know howard hardware and according to a guardian newspaper scoop that cooperation is to be stepped up even further prompting fresh questions about the independence of the u.k.'s nuclear to terror and if we don't have an independent deterrent which means an independent threat then we might as well just if we want to be protected by nuclear weapons pay the americans a fee and allow them to do it for the cold war may be over but there are still nearly ten thousand u.s. military personnel stationed in britain at dozens of our a.f. bases under u.s. control there are still five north of five us your pieces in britain wires all you have to ask is how many of you see there are states and you know they're going to go where america is very rich we were in this boring last month the independent on

sunday revealed that washington is to spend two hundred million pounds want to revamp of the r.a.f. crouton one of the u.k. bases allegedly involved in mass surveillance of revelations about g c h q and the n.s.a. they are what we could be saying that british citizens are actually having their privacy in paid it's a by a country which is supposed to be our closest ally and friend in the world it's led some places in the u.k. to question whether american and british interests always overlap britain is now a fairly small in some. powerful country and as we were in the days when we had an empire but we have a national interest we still have a national interest we're still a very big economy. we're still an important country but we should exercise that national interest in our interest we shouldn't just slavish we hand over to the americans anything that they want and yet

a succession of british leaders have done little to remedy what many see as a lot of sided relationship under the current extradition treaty between britain and america it's much easier for a u.k. citizen to be sent to face trial in the us than the other way around over recent years twice as many people have been extradited from the u.k. to the us which british prime minister doesn't. go that extra length for the americans objects of commentators have long argued. to many an american the american stuff which means britain is the fifty first states of america. artsy london i remember marty mcfly zahava board in back to the future well get ready for the reality a year before the blockbuster movie predicted they would exist the french company has unveiled an aquatic fly aboard you can read about this at r.t. dot com. plus why send supply rockets to the ice surface when the crew could print

fleeing sectarian violence early this week over twenty people were killed in fresh fighting between muslim and christian militias there's been more than a year of deadly ethnic and religious violence that has killed thousands and displaced nearly a million people. security has been stepped up across afghanistan with voting underway in the second round of the presidential election the taliban had issued further threats to disrupt polling last saturday presidential front runner abdullah abdullah escaped an assassination attempt when a suicide bomber attacked his convoy in the capital kabul the global summit to end sexual violence in london saw one controversy a method which could otherwise have proved uncomfortable for the british hosts the use of rape as a weapon in sri lanka hasn't been addressed by the organizers which are the u.k.'s foreign secretary and the un special envoy angelina jolie britain's been selling millions of dollars worth of weapons to sri lanka which has long been on the radar

of human rights organizations the civil war there ended in two thousand and nine which the sri lankan government accuses of war crimes but even now rape and extrajudicial killings continue returns he discussed this with human rights advocate bianca jagger on artie's going underground which you can watch online in some research and they found reports about how the u.k. send weapons that probably were used in the mass killing of the tamil at the end of the war and even before and he does believe that between seven hundred fifty to seventy thousand innocent civilians were killed among the time and it is a real persecution of the tamil even today and why is the u.k. government silent and of course they have something to answer because of the sale of weapons to that country and because sri lanka holds the presidency of the commonwealth in the one hand you talk about you know the sexual violence and you

talk about war crimes and then you sell weapons to this government. you're watching a hearty international thanks being with us today now most of us can't afford to hang an original monterrey or picasso on our walls but perhaps we could settle for the next best thing a group of russian artists are making a splash in german art circles with their incredibly detailed reproductions are berlin correspondent peter all of a has been for a viewing. a who's who of art stares back at you from the walls of this small salon in berlin but this priceless collection including rembrandt's morning is and bone gulfs are the work of three russian brothers to do so because if you know this is a good example of what we do the original of this painting was lost during world war two we were able to recreate it from an old photograph. if gagne me and semi

encore's in on the masterminds behind the masterworks that have drawn high praise from some of the most respected and revered names in the german art world both in. if they might be a lost people who represent conservative traditional russian art schools in the west europe and then you see the normally costly and complex education gave way to more than art but in russia it was preserved had they not started in leningrad they wouldn't be able to pay those wonderful pictures for them to sell a painting the artist must have been dead for at least seventy years and the paintings all have to be signed by the brothers this hasn't stopped some chances trying to make a killing off their work though back in two thousand we did some reproductions of william turner's the originals were stolen back in one thousand nine hundred six these guys then tried to sell them to an art dealer in antwerp as the legit works for ten million ago those guys went to jail another rule is they can't be exactly

the same size as the originals in fact many people actually want much larger reproductions but it's the beauty and attention to detail taken that gets customers to pay up to ten thousand euro for the pictures for this we have to work with gold leaf it's very delicate difficult to apply what you see here has taken around a hundred hours. that is seeing collectors keen to obtain the paintings a little way outside of burley is a hotel that sets of a museum dedicated to the brothers' work. it's a small sensation for this region in berlin there's twenty of our galleries but here you can see all the master works from the louvre or the prado just ours are reproductions they might not be the real deal but it's certainly a great collection that they have here you can see rubens you can see vermeer all of them on the show here the great artist alongside holbein every single

one of them has been lovingly recreated by the three brothers and they've spent around as much time on each one of these as it's believed the great masters spent on creating the original the love that goes into their painting is clear when you hear them talk about their favorite creation one day i was at the louvre very early it was raining so there weren't many tourists i was able to get really close to the mona lisa and spend time with it i think we made about seventeen trips to paris to look at it in order to make this we would never sell this piece it's very special to us whether it's the time consuming layers of the classical artists or the pacey bold strokes of the expressionists when it comes to the art world the paws and brothers have got it covered peter oliver r.t. germany and an amazing family now let's just give you a reminder of our breaking news this hour the ukrainian military says all forty
