are all given a no take and could be endangering u.k. national security. top story that is just mentioned a developing news story coming from the ukrainian capital of the last few hours protesters have surrounded the russian embassy there correspondent paul scott at the city hall bring us up to speed with the latest. well protesters are currently outside the russian embassy not far from here in kiev police say it began with out with around one hundred demonstrators carrying anti russian placards and shouting and hooting slogans but the numbers then soon began to swell and the atmosphere in the mood began to turn sour as well masked men arrived and they began to help the building with eggs and with paint they overturned
1:02 pm
a number of diplomatic big vehicles and smashed the windows of nearby cars as well now the russian flag outside the embassy has been taken down replaced with a ukrainian one and with a right sector flag as well some of the protesters outside the russian embassy at the moment are carrying right sector banners now there's no suggestion at the moment that the demonstrators tried to enter the embassy but despite that tensions are clearly very very high however police could be saying pretty much standing idly by not doing anything as events there unfold all the exits and all the entrances are currently blocked but despite this r.t. has managed to speak to one of the diplomats inside. but. the situation is getting more tense protesters have turned over embassy cars parked outside the perimeter is blocked with tires in the driveways of block look at protesters own cars they've torn down the russian flag from the pole ukrainian
1:03 pm
police are supposed to guard the embassy on preventing the harm being done to russian property. well those radicals in care are apparently blaming russia for the durning of the military transport jet shot down by anti-government protesters in eastern ukraine. on friday night in lugansk ukrainian army says all forty nine people on board were killed videos emerged showing the moment of the attack and its aftermath a plane was coming to london to go and scare people carrying troops weapons and supplies here of officials say they consider this a terror attack. crude soldiers aboard the cargo plane down in against the. biggest single loss the suffered since the start of the cracked foreign policy on this subject says it might actually make the kiev government see reason that. they're actually contributes to the calming of the waters to some extent because the way in which the ukrainian authorities can use their air power over the recent
1:04 pm
weeks has been irresponsible in the extreme they obviously use no smile guided weapons within the school are a cluster. and i think if occasion of the no fly zones in eastern ukraine is not warranted then it was in say lately when you have a. political analyst alexander believes kiev and its allies will just use this incident to further denounce russia they're just going to blame russia what they've been blaming it for the past several weeks not disposed to deal with escalation on the part of russia how do these people manage to down a plane i mean equipment must come from russia of course i mean ukraine has its own military industry but they're going to pin the blame on russia because the real target is russia not even the south east or the east of ukraine so i expect escalation. and otherwise from nato from washington london
1:05 pm
brussels girl i'm fortunate. meantime refugees fleeing the crisis we should crane clear the army won't let men leave the country respond to some of the ukrainian families split by the conflict you can hear their stories later in the program when we visit a refugee camp in russia is overflowing with women and children. ukraine's prime ministers ordered the government to prepare for a holton gas supplies on monday and here was more than four billion dollars in debt and is just days left now to pay at least half of what it owes if the deadline is not that russia will start only delivering gas that's been paid for up front earlier spoke to artie's correspondent arena here about this ongoing 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 he
1:06 pm
has 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 plus a huge hit 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 he votes and if they do there is a deal for that moscow well actually throw in a retroactive discount on what ukraine owes and that will save the country millions it desperately needs if war but to the present ukraine is this latest discovery that was all for the one that was on the table is just too hard it's not enough so
1:07 pm
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 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 shoe 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 price that it once we talked we touched on this just now why does ukraine
1:08 pm
feel it's in such a strong position he was of interest and that is a very big question here and according to gas from c.e.o. ukraine may be listening to third party advisors let's have a listen. 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. 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 is on 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
1:09 pm
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 well any rift between russia and the e.u. is really good for america because it is desperate to start telling its own gas if you look at this map right there you can see that europe gets thirty percent of its gas from russian federation and to you 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 read if you took all this out of the equation all the transit through ukraine. how's that going to affect the price of gas it would go up wouldn't it sure not so lonely in 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
1:10 pm
gain and very little to lose. also from us deal or no deal e bay uses played over the old gas bottle russian gas being offered over the site of plucking recently ridiculous bids ongoing for a while it would reach more than a million dollars a day as it wasn't impressed to move the page now you can find other pictures of it but it was that from us r.t. . you had this in iraq 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 me terrorist group known as isis have made no secret that the capital is the main target of an 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 words the nation to join the fight against the radicals a government airstrike on the areas surrounding the country's biggest all
