are all given no take and could be dangerous u.k. national security. my name is kevin first this hour in the ukrainian capital protesters have surrounded the russian embassy to parties pull scott is in kiev let's go straight to him. protesters are currently outside the russian embassy not far from here in kiev police say it began with out with around one hundred demonstrators are carrying anti russian placards and shouting anti beating 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 pelt the building with eggs and with paint they. overturned
2:02 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 were placed 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 are all the exits and all the entrances are currently blocked but despite this our team has managed to speak to one of the diplomats inside. the situation is getting more tense protesters have turned over embassy cars parked outside the perimeter is blocked with tires in the driveways a block look at protesters own cars they've torn down the russian flag from the pole ukrainian police are supposed to guard the embassy on preventing the harm
2:03 pm
being done to russian property. so it seems with hundreds of protesters outside the russian embassy here in kiev tensions remain very very high well those radicals in care for apparently blaming russia for the downing of the military transport jet short of protesters in the eastern ukrainian city of ganske on friday night you credit army says all forty nine people were killed the videos emerged you can see here showing the moment of the attack and its aftermath the plane was coming in to land at lugansk airport carrying troops weapons and supplies kev officials say they consider this a terror attack. the crew and soldiers aboard the plane of the biggest single loss the ukrainian army suffered since the start of the crackdown on foreign policy are loose a trick of which says it might actually the make the kiev government see reason. actually contributes to the calming of the world just to some extent because the way the ukrainian of product is used their air power over the recent weeks has been
2:04 pm
irresponsible in the extreme they obviously use no smile guided weapons that a school or a hospital was here and i think a vacation of a no fly zone in eastern ukraine is much more warranted then he was in say likely. to have a political analyst alexander pub which believes kiev and its allies will just use this incident to further denounce russia. they're just going to blame us for what. several weeks this is supposed to be and there's always another part of. how these people managed to downplay i mean you must come to me you claim has it's own military industry but they're going to pin the blame on russia because the real target is russia it's not even the south east or eastern ukraine so i expect. her early and otherwise from nato washington long term brussels fortunately.
2:05 pm
for diplomatic and military front sparkling ukraine's economic affairs are also on the brink of catastrophe just one day left to go from here to settle at least part of its gas bill or else face a big move to a pay in advance system and potentially a gas cutoff we're following that closely also to refugees fleeing the crisis in east ukraine playing the army won't let men leave the country we speak to some of the ukrainian families split by the conflict that's coming up as well. jadis 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 next they'll head to baghdad extremists from a sunni terrorist group known as isis have made no secret that the capital is the
2:06 pm
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 the words the nation to join the fight against the radicals the government airstrike meantime on the area surrounding the country's biggest oil refineries reportedly killed some two hundred terrorists but says the u.s. deliberates what kind of assistance to provide he's going to if you can explain why . president obama's message to iraq is the u.s. will help 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 feel some indication 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
2:07 pm
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 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 radical overran police stations freed more than a thousand prisoners from the city jail and to go over the international airport iraqi forces apparently read in the face of leaving behind uniforms weapons and
2:08 pm
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. insite a washington correspondent the united states spent massive sums equipping and training the iraqi army before pulling its troops out of the country politically on this side etiquette says current events show that that was therefore a huge waste of effort and money you have to go to the root of the problem the word of the problem it was the u.s. invasion and occupation of iraq when the second largest city in iraq. it's called into their hands the. training with equipping. the iraqi security force good there who have gone spilling honey five billion
2:09 pm
dollars back there's been a really fun with that but there has to be a way to put the country back on track and that the key to that track is really national reconciliation which is something that the united states when it was occupying bar power in iraq did not really think very seriously and of these worlds apart discussed iraq's descent into chaos with the former u.s. ambassador to the country christopher hill he explained how isis could be a menace to any country across the globe we did not show coming up sunday starting ten thirty g.m.t. is i see these people you know they are not interested in just iraq they are interested in the rest of us as well and so i think we as a civilization if you will need to be prepared to deal with organizations such as i.c.'s the criticism of maliki for not having enough sunni outreach that may be true but i think one can apportion some of the criticism on the sunni's who have
2:10 pm
made it very clear they're not interested in living under a shia prime minister that has a prime minister represent shia political power and so i think it's a very fundamental problem. britain's increasing its collaboration with the us when it comes to nuclear weaponry raising fears it could lose its deterrent independence the two countries already were very closely sharing intelligence and exchanging prisoners but as polly boyko reports next such far reaching cooperation might not be benefiting britain's. 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 moderns well just if we want to be protected by nuclear weapons pay the americans
2:11 pm
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 and all for a five year b. she's in britain wires or you have to ask her many. states. your visit to go where america very which we were in does boring last month the independent on sunday revealed that washington is to spend two hundred million pounds want to revamp of 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 voices in the u.k.
2:12 pm
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. and in america it's much easier for you case this isn't 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 object to commentate. have. to many an american the american

hello again ukraine's prime minister the government to prepare for a holding gas supplies come monday is more than four billion dollars in debt right now and it's just got two days left to pay at least half of what it owes if that deadline isn't met russia will start to only deliver gas that's been paid for up front that i spoke to our correspondent really good 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 gives 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
2:16 pm
a huge here though that's still to be purged and we'll talk about what kind of strong opposition ukraine is in a moment but the 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 that was off 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
2:17 pm
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 price that it wants. we touched on this just now 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 gas from c.e.o. ukraine may be listening to third party advisors let's have a listen. i'm going to be perhaps the ukrainians of outside advisors it's just that
2:18 pm
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 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 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 richer
2:19 pm
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 europe 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 out of it 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 will go up with mitchell 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. will keep you posted and another deal or no deal either uses played their own little gas bottle to russian gas being offered over the site attracted increasingly ridiculous bids or lines you can see there reaching over

a billion dollars at one point he wasn't impressed it's remove the page pictures of it at r.t. dot com. also always a relevant diverse range of stories for you to on a website like this these days a sex change or longer requires any surgery denmark's become the first country in europe to make it possible to change gender legally without doing so physically and also on our website to. the pentagon show that millions of dollars to find why people take the streets to vent their anger at the political system what if they find out we'll tell you online. but all coverage now of the ukraine crisis of a nine thousand people have fled from the east of the country to russia in the past couple of days as kiev as military lays waste to towns during its continuing crackdown on the uprising families a big split the men are being prevented from leaving ukraine while the women and children are allowed to get out r.t. roman concert visited one refugee camp to hear some of their stories. this typical
2:21 pm
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 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 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 i look at those as they don't have to 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
2:22 pm
led them out as a country they say they can come here and we're very scared for them. yes i was promoted with your more good one will receive after wealth we were ready for anything someone could have easily thrown environment side out by us during our bus ride we were told not to talk on the phone because someone could be listening and ready to drop bombs on. 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 are 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
2:23 pm
others these refugee camps are all they have now among crossroads already south in russia. and jolie's been made known re day in the u.k. queen for her humanitarian work she hosted the global summit to end sexual violence you can see here together with the u.k.'s foreign secretary it was called to address cases of rape as a weapon in war zones like syria congo and others too 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 being used that to this day is a torture method against suspect criminals and not just criminals civilians are also at risk in sri lanka according to a un survey in fact it says every ninety minutes one woman suffers a rape indeed every day up to five children are abused but there's little punishment most people go free artie's going underground host action returns you
2:24 pm
spoke to human rights advocate about this bianca jagger she's convinced the u.k. ignores sri lanka's violations because it fueled the civil 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. send weapons that probably where in use in the mass killing of the terminal at the end of the war and even before and it is believed the between seven between fifty to seventy thousand innocent civilians were killed among the turmel 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.
2:25 pm
it's like the mood of just two days at the world cup the tournament somebody sort of a few surprises no more so than that slushy victory of the netherlands against world champions spain the big five one but it's not just the football on the purchase provided me entertainment there are plenty of other traits of the sidelines too as artist graham phillips has been falling out for. to be with the prime minister it's been specially constructed on the edge of the city because for this world cup two thousand a good seat now stretches over several a good bit of course a big screen that everybody knows every day to tens of thousands of. good to get a bit of the atmosphere. was that means that you can see some of these crimes to see what the pentagon does here and this will come two thousand and fourteen in brazil so what's going to be just really a place where not going to so you know it's big it was made so much here's a little we're not going to run it's all say this new product because it was
2:26 pm
younger i know you are going to sue for those who might still want to have the why do those leaving c.b.c. there be a great time and he saw it was an easement was there the. night was that there's the city was. coming up here now to international sit on the tools used by america's intelligence service to win back people's trust in from the u.k. prepared bold sputnik with george galloway. there's a new immigrant is we're not got a polygamous family i'm looking for a woman who understands we anyway and i want her to share my goal of saving our people from extinction. i've had two failed marriages and she

2:28 pm
sterilizing. go to the point of death. for years rarely discussed. until now really rather not talk about that right. what's happened in part of 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 warning. 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
2:29 pm
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 at the world's richest banker actually recognize that an income inequality is a real thing or to take someone who led millions of people into financial ruin seriously not to mention. income inequality isn't 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 but i guess it to be expected considering 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.e.o.'s of fortune five hundred companies now earn an insane three hundred thirty one time.
