the proof for a change when you know you should be ready for a. freedom of speech little doubt the freedom to watch. anti-government forces in eastern ukraine have downed a military transport plane carrying weapons and troops all forty nine on board were killed. plus. ukraine braces itself for life without gas as its dead deadline looms r.t. has the lowdown on who's who in the energy negotiations down long that's threatening to leave europe literally in the cold. also terrorists who are now in control of iraq's north reportedly plan to form a new government in the region in the next twenty four hours and that's as the country resorts to volunteer fighters to drive out the radicals. and from surveillance to nuclear warheads we look at fears that britain's ever closer ties

with the u.s. are all given no take and could be endangering u.k. national security. at a six pm in moscow you're watching r t international with me marina joshie anti-government fighters in lugansk in east ukraine have shot down a military transport plane the ukrainian army says all forty nine people on board were killed video has emerged showing the moment of the attack and its aftermath the plane came down at logan airport if officials say they consider this a terror attack scott has the details. well the plane was shot down in the early hours of saturday morning as it approached an advance board here confirming that on board appetite more troops and equipment machinery and food activists are claiming

responsibility for the attack saying they brought the jet down with an anti aircraft missile. our forces have look at the airport which is a strategic point in lugansk and demanded their all ukrainian troops later also warned that any military jet flying over trying to land there will be considered an aggressor at their own to handle the evolution seventy six jet attempted to lend it was hit with a rocket that exploded inside the plane bank to one side started losing height and crashed at the airport. 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 strike hit the city center and 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 ukrainian military have targeted

the city as well as part of this anti terror operation is they're calling it the following intense battles they say they have reclaimed not a youthful five activists were killed in the ukrainian flag is now flying above the administrative building that meanwhile moscow is calling for an investigation into reports that white phosphorous bombs have been dropped on the city of slavyansk the city is also saying face 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 despite the video footage and witness reports here is denying such weapons have been used meanwhile in a neighboring region anti-government fighters say they have also shot down in cranium playing this time a bomber activist told r.t. they're now questioning the pilot. the plane went down near a local village the pilot has been found and taken into custody the bomber had carried out two as strikes on the internal affairs building killing two people and

injuring six. foreign policy analysts are gentrified which says the losses might actually make the kiev government see reason you could actually contribute to the calming of the waters the some expense because the way in which the ukrainian of particles years very far over the recent weeks has been given and will be extremely they obviously you. know i'm delighted weapons whatever. it was here and i think it became a no fly zone in ukraine is not warranted then he was in a league we. have a political analyst alexander private believes kiev and of tel aviv's will just use this incident to further denounce russia. they're just going to blame russia but blame the people of several weeks this is supposed to be you know. how

these people managed to downplay i mean what with moscow i mean you crane has its own military industry but they're going to pin the blame on russia because the real target is russia it's not even the southeast or the east of ukraine so i split. from early and of the ones from nato from washington london brussels berlin fortunate with. refugees fleeing the crisis in east ukraine claim the army won't let men leave the country we spoke to some of the ukrainian families split by the conflict here their stories later in the program when we visit a refugee camp in russia that's overflowing with women and children. ukraine's prime minister has ordered the government to prepare for a gas supply caught on monday kiev is more than four billion dollars in debt and

has just days left now to pay at least half of what it owes if the deadline is not met rochelle will start only delivering gas that's been paid for up front kevin i want to talk to our two correspondents about the deadlock. 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 whom 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 seven rounds of negotiations persecute here though there's still to be purty there will talk about what kind of strong position ukraine is in a moment but their economy is so bad that the moment we're going to pay them 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 the fact is russia is not even asking them to pay back in for 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 discover the result for the one that was on the table is just too hard it's not enough so when we go from here well here is 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 a 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 ok so we've heard what russia is prepared to do what you crane prepared to do we're going to compromise well it doesn't seem like ukraine is going to compromise almost anywhere in fact it has offered its. parry price of three hundred twenty six dollars until a permanent one is agreed upon and that is of course much less than what russia wants on top of that ukraine is refusing to pay back its existing debt until it gets the prize that it wants. why does ukraine feel it in such a strong position he wanted to be just and that is a very big question here and according to gas from c.e.o. ukraine may be listening to a third party advisers let's have a listen. that's 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. so who's alexey miller talking over there rather cryptically who are these advisors may be well it's still a bit of

a speculation but we've asked that question to a number of experts and there seems to be a predominant view let's have a listen crane these are the 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 ukraine will simply siphon off the 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 well any richer in russia and the u.s. really good for america because it is desperate to start selling its own gas if you look at this map right there you can see that you have gets thirty percent of its gas from russian federation and you're and ukraine is actually a major hub on that transport route from russia to europe and what america is

desperate to do is to start selling its own gas but the problem is gas prices in europe right now are too low and i'm going to make if you took all this out of the equation all of which translate through ukraine how does that go to affect the price of gas it would go up with an issue now absolutely and that is exactly what would make shipping all that gas for america to europe actually profitable and at the same time it would hit russia's economy to boot so america stands everything to gain and very little to lose. and in our heat our con we've got the details of another gas battle being played out on e bay there the prices skyrocketing so the quantity hasn't even been specified. delivery though is guaranteed. geodes in iraq are preparing to launch the political mechanism through which they hope to turn the country into a radical islamist state according to reports they plan to form a new government in the city of mosul on sunday the capital of the region they

captured earlier this week the fear is that baghdad will be next extremists from a sunni terrorist group known as isis have made no secret that the capital is their main target having already entrenched themselves in the north of iraq hundreds of iraqi men have responded to a call to arms issued on friday by the country's top shia cleric urged the nation to join the fight against the radicals that's as the u.s. deliberates over a what kind of assistance to provide what you are just going to check out explains why it was not that is what 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 the range of options in the coming days this could mean air strikes but the president has not made a decision that he'll something decayed and 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 and 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 further bolstered these militants and gave them new resources they're 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 iraqi 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. now the united states spent massive sums equipping and training the iraqi army before pulling its own troops out of the country but little analysts said our congress as current events show that this was a huge waste of money. you have to go to the root of the problem there were the problem it was the u.s. invasion and occupation of iraq when the second largest city and iraq mosul in the fall into their hands that means that all this training all this equipping

of the iraqi army and the iraqi security forces so that the united states has gone spilling honey five billion dollars of taxpayers' money has really gone way back with me there has to be a way to put the country back on track and that the key to that track is really the national reconciliation which is something that the united states when it was the occupier you bar a party iraq did not really think very seriously and coming up after break a story of selective morality in the one hundred talk about you know the sexual violence and you talk about war crimes i think weapons to the government. and we find out why the london anti-sexual violence summit chose to ignore cases of abuse entry lanka. and find out what treats have been prepared for fans attending the world cup as we report for you straight from the action that's

coming up later in the program. language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. the players and no i will leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point you say. ok because all your talk is no god i. think you know more. when you question me prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for. freedom of speech. the freedom to. dramas that try to be ignored to. stories others use

in the same. places change the world right. to picture a. former student. doctor. welcome back you're watching out international britain is increasing its collaboration with the us when it comes to nuclear weaponry raising fears it could lose its deterrence independence the two countries already work very closely sharing intelligence and exchanging prisoners but as boy boy who now reports such far reaching cooperation might not be benefiting britain's. america and britain already shared nuclear know how in 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 moderns 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 and we are still five north of five us your pieces in britain wires or you have to ask is how many of you see there are states and you know 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 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 voices 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 yes 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 bring. in 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 thousands. go that extra limb for the americans objects of commentary to. have. too many an american the american stuff which means britain is the fifty first states of america. now these days a sex change no longer requires any surgery denmark has become the first country in europe to make it possible to change gender legally without doing so physically our website has the full story. the pentagon shells out millions of dollars to fight why people take to the streets to van their anger at the political system. back to our coverage of the ukraine crisis now over nine thousand people have fled from the east of the country to russia in the past couple of days as military lays

waste to towns during its crackdown on the uprising families are being split the men prevented from leaving ukraine while women and children are allowed to get out arches around casa revisited 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 limmy 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 me is 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 to do just that much stuff when you leave home for a while 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 for the 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 as a country they say they can come here and were very scared for them. you know the movie you. know we were ready for anything someone could have easily thrown a volman side of us 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 ramon costa rica artsy south in russia. andrea jaya has been made an honorary dame by the u.k. queen for her humanitarian work and she hosted the global summit and sexual violence together with the u.k.'s foreign secretary which was cold to address cases of using rape as a weapon in war zones like syria congo and others but the conference turned a blind eye to violations in sri lanka where the experts estimate thousands were raped during almost thirty years of civil war human rights groups say sexual violation is still used there as a torture methods against suspect criminals civilians are also at risk in sri lanka

according to un survey every ninety minutes one woman suffers a rape an average of two five children are abused and there is no punishment for the guilty as most go free are just going underground host of she spoke to human rights advocate bianca jagger and she's convinced the u.k. ignore sri lanka violations because it was healing the war by selling millions of dollars worth of weapons to the country but i did some research on the sound 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 the. seven between fifty to seventy thousand innocent civilians were killed among the tunnels and that is a real persecution of the tunnel 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 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. and just two days into the world cup and the tournaments has already thrown up a few surprises now more so than the smashing victory of the netherlands against world champions spain beating them five one but it's not just the football on the pitch that's providing entertainment there are plenty of other treats on the sidelines too as graham phillips has been finding out. the prime minister to speak specially constructed on the edge of the city but for this local two thousand seat now stretches over several they can get of course a big screen for the play service every day to tens of thousands of. kids to the atmosphere. to be speaking to some of the signs

see all the people in the front is here this come two thousand and fourteen is it possible the silly place and. you know it's a spaceship was made so he was not going to drop the title said. potter who says you know you're. going to sue over those who fight so what if it was because we see . time and he saw i was a human. i had authority national how the tradition of having more than one wife is driving a wedge into today's house a stand for you in the u.k. it's going out of ground but if your town see status.

recent events in ukraine definitely have a wide range of interpretation both russia and the west accuse the other of doing a lot of meddling some people call those who are fighting out east separatists or terrorists but others call them a people's militia fighting the kiev and this sort of situation everyone has their bias and it's hard to tell what is going on but i can tell you one thing in the sea of opinion the kiev side is using artillery and fact there have been numerous reports of artillery strikes like the the one. just a few days ago hit the sales of hope orphanage which was thankfully empty at the time why is are two such a big deal well if you send guys with guns in the fight they're going to see their target try to kill it but artillery shoots targets they can't even see they just throw shells at a general location and interestingly enough many locations seem to be in populated areas of the breakaway republics so who is the actual target of randomly shelling

populated areas well if we turn on our brains for a second we can see that artillery is one of the worst ways to take out a specific threat in a local population but it sure is a good way to eliminate the entire local population because maybe that's who the quote threat actually is but that's just my opinion. well.

there is no mother's words. she should have thought of a new bride new york lawyer listen which of course a saw her need not true for the movie how about so it. scores a good pizza for you just as a couple with a sudden urge really. just to show me how to do let me come live with me to south and east some of the. most famous kind. of months on the map but do good suddenly in the good ones you mustn't leave me she doesn't get up millions of least good but i'm sure did she even want to know what to say good one of good clues now when the goes on stage. is
