prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a battle pretty well off speech and down the street into class. to government forces in eastern ukraine have down a military transport plane carrying weapons and troops all forty nine aboard were killed plus. ukraine braces itself for life without gas as its dead deadline looms r.t. has a low down on who's who and the energy negotiations deadlock that's threatening to leave you rip literally in the cold. and terrorists who are now in control of iraq's north reportedly plan to form a new government in the region by tomorrow that's as a country resorts to calling on volunteer fighters to drive the radicals. from surveillance to nuclear warheads we look at fears that britain's ever closer

ties with the u.s. are all give and no take and could be endangering u.k. national security. which are here national coming to live from moscow with me marina josh anti-government fighters and going to ukraine have shot down a military transport plane and 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 lugansk airport in key officials say they consider this a terror attack. scott joins us live now with more. paul what more can you tell us about this at this point. well the plane came down at around two am local time on saturday morning as it was approaching and preparing to.

confirm that it was a military aircraft carrying out the time that it came down troops machinery equipment food. there were fourteen military personnel on board and nine crew members all of which lost their lives now as the worst single loss of life for the ukrainian forces since they began their so-called anti terror operation activists are claiming responsibility for the attack saying they brought the plane down using an anti aircraft missile antigovernment fight is the company blocking the airport and demanding that all ukrainian troops leave the area meanwhile they also claim to have brought down a ukrainian bomber in don't yet carried out an attack there however kiev is yet to confirm or deny this claim while five ukrainian border guards lost their lives following an attack on a convoy near the city of mariupol where ukrainian forces have been actively clamping down and cracking down since friday. also paul has there been any reaction

to these latest developments in kiev where you are. the news has been met with anger from some people here in kiev police say around one hundred protesters have taken to the russian embassy not far from here to express that anger now the demonstrators threw eggs and painted the building diplomats cars they pierced the tires as well of a number of diplomats cars and block the entrance with toy is even overturned one vehicle but police are saying standing by is the events on the floor all unfolded failing to stop the protesters actions and incidentally president poroshenko has declared sunday here in ukraine a day of mourning for all of those who lost their life. all right thanks very much indeed for bringing us this postcard reporting from kiev. now foreign policy analyst. says the losses might actually make the kiev government see reason

. it could actually contributes to the calming of the water still some expense because the way in which the opinion of the product is confused their air power over the recent weeks has been irresponsible in big screen they obviously use no smile guided weapons that a school or a hospital was hit and i think if occasion of the no fly zones in eastern ukraine is not more warranted then the flows in say libya in that country you have a political analyst alexander pottage believes kiev and its allies will just use this incident to further denounce russia. they're just going to blame russia but blame the people several weeks this is supposed to be the best collation on the part of. how these people managed to downplay i mean you when. you claim 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 spent escalation from early and all the ones from nato washington london brussels berlin fortunately. the refugees fleeing the crisis in east ukraine claim the army won't let amanda leave the country we spoke to some of the ukrainian families split by the conflict and hear 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 governments to prepare for a hold to in gas supplies on monday kiev has more than four billion dollars in debt and has just days left now to pay at least half of what he owes if the deadline is not met or russia will start only delivering gas that's been paid for up front

coming no one to talk to or to respond to relinquish go 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 who you ask for example ukraine says that russia's price is too high and moscow says that 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 thirty one rounds of negotiations persecute here though that's still to be purged then we'll talk about what kind of strong opposition ukraine is in a moment but the economy is so bad that the moment we're 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 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'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 ok so we've heard what russia is prepared to do what shoe crain 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. perry 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. we touched on this why does ukraine feel it's in such a strong position he wanted to be just and that is a very big question here and according to gazprom c.e.o. ukraine may be listening to third party advisors let's have a listen. can perhaps the ukrainians have 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 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 rift between russia and the e.u. is 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're of 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 meet if you took all this out of the

equation all these trends shoot through ukraine how does that go to affect the price of gas it would go up what it should now absolutely and that is exactly what would make shipping all that gas for america to europe actually profitable and of the same time it would hit russia's economy to boot so america stands everything to gain and very little to lose. r.t. dot com we've got the details of another gas battle being played out on e bay there the prices skyrocketing though the quiet. he hasn't even been specified deliveries 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 extremist from

a sunni terrorist group known as isis have made no secret of the capital as their main target having already entrenched themselves in the north of iraq hundreds of iraqi man 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 a government airstrike on that the area surrounding the country's biggest oil refinery has reportedly killed some two hundred terrorists and that as the u.s. deliberates over what kind of assistance to provide are he's going to count explains why. 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 and this could mean air strikes but the president has not made a decision yet he'll something decayed it 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 most heavily armed

radical 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 getting the iraqi army before pulling its own troops out of the country but little analysts cite erekat says current events show that this was a huge waste of money. you have to go to the root of the problem the wood of the problem it was the u.s. invasion and occupation of iraq when the second largest city and iraq most of their fall into their hands that means that all this training. equipping the iraqi army and the iraqi security forces the united states has done spending

twenty five billion dollars of taxpayers' money has really gone the way that would mean 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 occupying power in iraq did not really think very seriously and coming out after a break a story of selective morality in the one hand you talk about you know the sexual violence and you talk about war crimes and then you say weapons to this government . to find out why the london and i saw actual violence summits chose to ignore cases of abuse and sri lanka. and find out what streets 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.

this is the media leave us so we leave the media. by the sea motions to cure the play your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics. to. choose your language killing flick over the internet a real kind of thing still some of the. truth is that it's the consensus to.

choose the opinions the great. choose the stories that impact the. truth the access to. welcome back this is our to international britain is increasing its collaboration with the us when it comes to nuclear weaponry arrays and fears it could lose its deterrent independence the two countries already work very closely sharing intelligence and exchanging prisoners but as boyko reports such far reaching cooperation might not be benefiting britain's. america and britain already shag kiya 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 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 us control the meter still five and all for five us your pieces in britain wires. you know because if you go where america very rich we were last month the independent on sunday revealed that washington is to spend two hundred million pounds want to revamp of our a.f. crowd said 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 seeing that british citizens are actually having their

privacy in paid to a boy a country which is supposed to be closest ally and friend in the world it's led some boyce's in the u.k. to question whether american and british interests always overlap britain is now a fairly small in some. powerful country 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 lee handed 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 sided special 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 thousands. go that extra length for the americans object to commentators have. to many an american the american separations britain is the fifty first states of america. to see london. and 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 a full story. the pentagon shells out millions of dollars to find a white people take to the streets to vand their anger at the political system. back to our coverage of the crisis now over nine thousand people have fled from the east of the country to russia in the past couple of days escapes military allays wasted talents during its crackdown on the uprising families are being split the

man prevented from leaving ukraine while women and children are allowed to get out are just cause or a visit at 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 obvious that it is far from cherry meant given to 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 me is here with her son and she's used 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 does that equal daughter which is normally 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 as a country the city that can come here and where various care of them. yes i was promoted with your. offer wolf we were ready for anything someone could have easily thrown a bomb inside of us during our vas 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 a 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 among koester of artsy south in russia. and then having a jolly has been made an honorary dame by the u.k. queen for her humanitarian work and she hosted the global summit and sexual violence to gather with a new case foreign secretary it 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 tree lanka were 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 method against suspect criminals. civilians are also at risk interland according to surveys every ninety minutes one woman suffers

a rape and everyday up to five children are raped and there is little punishment for the guilty as most go free are just going underground host if she returns he spoke to human rights advocate bianca jagger she's convinced the u.k. ignores free lanka violations because it was fueling the war by selling millions of dollars worth of weapons to the country but i did some research and i found reports about how the u.k. said weapons that probably were used in the mass killing of the terminal 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 tumble and that is a real persecution of the tom 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. holds the presidency of the commonwealth

in the one hand you talk about you know the the sexual violence and you talk about war crimes and then you sell weapons to this government. which. just two days into the world cup and the tournaments has already thrown up a few surprises none 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 the entertainment and there are plenty of other treats on the sidelines too as ground philips has been finding out. to be with the prime minister to speak specially constructed on the edge of the city because for this one comes two thousand a good seat now stretches over several i can see we're going to cause a big scream this is my host every day to tens of thousands of the finest head to the atmosphere i was going to be speaking to some of these pines

to see what would be in the ground is here in this book come two thousand and fourteen in brazil to hospital just really a place. i'm going to so you know you think it was me so here's a host who was not going to interrupt you to say the solution was not a good because you know your high school coach you are going to say to those who might show one of the why do those we see what you see are you playing time and if so i want you to be human so thank you. thank you thank you thank you. thank you. i'm. going. to kick off. with. and coming up here on our senior national abby martin on the tools used by america's intelligence service to win back people stressed.

in the words of mary poppins just a face full of water makes the austerity go down yesterday go down wound ballots balance and buybacks and banks are feathering there now some notes on to rest while the plundering your pensions are scrapings and well they have product that boom boom boom and bust but just like they sold water banks just there to go down. debating american foreign policy is there one any more traditionally the political left and right and clearly different positions on how washington should exert power in the world today it appears everyone in the establishment is a hawk. and we will be barred from by the enormous burden of. those rules and regulations which cause europe to be the school it is i mean the

reason that europe's going going down or which i was because the rules or regulations are killing your strangling business. what's happened in party people i'm abby martin and this is great in the set so you may have heard of a little company called goldman sachs you know the investment bank that was behind one of the because players behind the subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent financial catastrophe well take a listen to what goldman sachs c.e.o. lloyd blankfein had to say yesterday on c.b.s. is this morning. income inequality is a very destabilizing thing in the country in other words it's responsible for the divisions in the country the divisions could get wider if you can't legislate you

can't deal with problems you can't deal with problems you can't drive growth and you can't drive the success of the country it's a very big issue than something that has to be has to be dealt with oh look while it's great the world's richest banker actually recognize that income inequality is a real thing hard to take someone who had millions of people in a financial ruin seriously not to mention income inequality is exactly a pressing problem for blankfein last year goldman sachs's top man took home a cool one thousand million dollars in stock options and bonuses on top of his two million dollars salary and i guess it to be expected. that way that a new study from the economic policy institute found that the average c.e.o. pay is now fifteen point two million dollars that's a nine hundred thirty seven percent rise since one thousand nine hundred seventy eight according to a f l c i o c o's a fortune five hundred companies now earn insane three hundred thirty one times as

much money as their employees so if lloyd blankfein truly wants to change the fact that the u.s. has the worst income inequality in the developed world he can start by looking in the mirror let's break this that. it was a. very hard to tell. you that actually were the target they're looking.
