5:02 pm
now one stage this evening a fire broke out it's not clear where they were started deliberately or by accident and fire was a real concern really throughout most of the evening most of the time that i spent that there were a number of overturned vehicles outside the embassy building and a lot of diesel and oil has been spilling from the area from those cars and at one stage people around thought that the protesters the demonstrators were going to set fire to those vehicles but in the end the fire services turned up in the cars down as a preventative measure so although the fire service is present the police simply were not all of this was being done with alex with police presence and it seems that the ukrainian authorities were prepared to let events on forward without the police being on the scene and this is raised a few question few questions russia have asked the united nations why exactly there was no protection for the staff working inside the embassy staff who of course still holed up there into the night and the united states state department have
5:03 pm
also condemn the actions of those protesters here in kiev if you rewind the day for a little bit and played a bit more of a picture about how all this started in the first place. yes it all started earlier on saturday police say around one hundred protesters arrived to the russian embassy with anti russia placards and shouting anti putin slogans but the atmosphere turned when the numbers began to swell and marksmen from the right sector turned out we know where they were from the right sector because right sector rather red and black flags were there and they started pelting the the embassy building with paint with eggs and they started smashing windows you know. turning the diplomatic cars and smashing the vehicles as i said and trashing the windows of those words i should say and the ukrainian flag has also replaced the russian flag as well outside the building that was something that the protesters
5:04 pm
did now all the exits and entrances to the embassy at the moment are blocked meaning that the embassy staff are holed up in the embassy still as we speak but r.t. has managed to speak to one of the people inside. the situation this gets more tense protesters have turned over embassy cars parked outside the perimeter is blocked with tires in the driveways of block looking protesters own cars they've torn down the russian flag from the pole ukrainian police are supposed to guard the embassy they are preventing the harm being done to russian property. so the star of are still holed up inside the embassy heading in to the evening and events outside of the embassy we're all at the moment they're peaceful they are certainly tense ok paul thanks for the update. on the ukrainian army says own forty nine people on board the plane shot down on friday night in the school killed

these videos emerged showing the moment of the attack and its aftermath as well the plane was coming in to land at lugansk airport carrying troops weapons and supplies have officials say they consider this now a terror attack you can soldiers aboard the plane the biggest single loss the ukrainian army suffered since the start of the crackdown. foreign policy on the such a fifth of it says it might actually make the camp government see reason that maybe . they're actually contributing to the calming of the waters the some extent because of the way in which the ukrainian a party of yours very over the recent weeks has been and will be extreme they obviously you know my number i did weapons whenever a school or a hospital was huge and i think it became of a no fly zone in the ukraine is not warranted then he was in. the lead of
5:06 pm
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 russia blaming him for the past several weeks that you know this is supposed to be you know this collision on the part of russia i mean how these people managed to down the play i mean if you quit with moscow russia i mean ukraine 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 expect escalation from early and otherwise from nato from washington london brussels berlin i'm fortunate with. other developments ukraine's authorities reprehended two russian journalists working for the t.v. channel which has already had employees detained in the country now a correspondent and a sound technician have been held as they were heading to an appropriate airport they were supposed to fly to moscow out of their assignment in the country was over
5:07 pm
the channels as many as documents are in order now reportedly being held in the city's justice ministry building less than two weeks ago two other employees of the channel were detained in ukraine and held for a few days on i.q. stations of spying. so as diplomatic and military front struggling ukraine's economic affairs are also on the brink of catastrophe to just one day the go no left for you have to settle that huge gas bill at least part of it or else face being moved to a pay in advance system or potentially have gas cut off more than later in the program. folks from iraq never for a few minutes they're up to a thousand people now reported to have been killed many of them civilians after the group known as isis started an insurgency campaign earlier this week jihadist fighters seized several major cities including mosul the nation's second largest more victims of fear as the fight is no believed to be closing in on baghdad hundreds of iraqi men have responded to
5:08 pm
a call to arms issued on friday but the country's top sheer cleric who urged the nation to join the fight against the radicals a government airstrike on the areas surrounding the country's biggest all refined really times reportedly killed some two hundred terrorists that says the u.s. deliberates what kind of assistance to provide r.t. is going to teach you can explain why should president obama's message to iraq is the u.s. will help it fight the militants but 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 us 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
5:09 pm
we might provide won't succeed the sectarian war in iraq broke out after the us 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 the bashkirian that includes syria and iraq when taking over most 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 ran in the face of on a slot 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
5:10 pm
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. and washington correspondent 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 shows on a sunday starting ten thirty g.m.t. these i.c.'s 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 made it very clear they're not interested in living under
5:11 pm
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 united states when it comes to nuclear weaponry raising fears it could lose its independence the two countries already very closely sharing intelligence and exchanging prisoners but as police reports nic such far reaching cooperation might not be benefiting britain's. america and britain already share 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 probably the americans are fully and allow them to do it for the cold war may be over but
5:12 pm
there are still nearly ten thousand u.s. military personnel stationed in britain at dozens of our a.f. bases under u.s. control that we are still five are north of five us your pieces in britain wires or you have to ask is how many of you see that over the united states and europe doesn't take over america 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 voices in the u.k. to question whether american and british interests always overlap britain is now
5:13 pm
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. britain and america is 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 object to commentators have long argued. to many an american the american stuff which means britain is the fifty first states of america. to see london.
5:14 pm
the breakout story of selective morality. in the one hundred talk about. the sexual violence and you talk about war crimes and weapons to the government. find out why the london anti sexual violence summit chose to ignore all cases of abuse in sri lanka. look it was terrible they are looking very hard to take
5:15 pm
5:16 pm
in debt and has just one day left to pay at least after of what it owes if that deadline is not met russia will start only delivering gas that's been paid for up front earlier talk to r.t. correspondent really 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 gals but has actually moved the deadline for payment back four times and now it's seven rounds of negotiations plus a huge hit here though that's still to be purty then we'll talk about what kind of strong position ukraine is in a moment but the economy is so bad that the moment we're going to pay that that is
5:17 pm
true but remember that i have ever flown that ukraine has already gotten and that is actually enough to cover part of their debt and now 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 is 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 all 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
5:18 pm
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 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 to. kerry 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. all ukraine may be listening to third party advisers let's have a listen. most of you couldn't speak with 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 to go so who's
5:19 pm
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 you 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 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 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 the euro and ukraine is actually
5:20 pm
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 along out of it if you took all this out of the equation oldish transit through ukraine. is that going to affect the price of gas it will go up what is sure now absolutely 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 gain and very little to lose. we'll keep you posted on how those talks develop over the next twenty four forty eight hours now always a relevant diverse range of stories few on our website r.t. dot com talking of which these days a sex change we're reporting no longer requires any surgery denmark has now become the first country in europe to make it possible to change gender legally without doing so physically and read up more on that account it's online from us and the

pentagon shows up millions of dollars to find out why people take to the streets to vent their anger at the political system that they get the answers they want to hear you can find out from us. and made an honorary dame by the u.k. queen for her humanitarian work she hosted the global summit to end sexual violence together with the u.k. foreign secretary it was called to address cases of using rape as a weapon in war zones like syria congo and others but the conference it seems 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 even today there is a tortured method against suspect criminals not just criminals civilians are also at risk in sri lanka according to a un survey that says every ninety minutes a woman suffers a rape it gets worse well if you can see even worse every day up to five children
5:22 pm
are abused too there's no punishment for the guilty mosco free arties going underground host and should return as he spoke to human rights advocate bianca jagger she is convinced the u.k. ignore sri lanka's violations because it's fuel 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 were used 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
5:23 pm
talk about war crimes and then you sell weapons to this government. get your good talking to us like the total bit just three days into the free for world cup still a lot to come the torments really throw up a few surprises no more so that smashing victory in the netherlands against world champions spain be remembered five one but it's not just all the pitch. for the troops on the sidelines too it's great phillips has been fighting out for. the prime minister's speech specially constructed on the edge of the city with nothing for this local two thousand a good seat now stretches over several a good bit of course a big screaming as anyone knows every day to tens of thousands the fine he had to get into the atmosphere. to be speaking to some of these fine people the beauty of the pundits here in this country during the fourteen years it

5:25 pm
in london in one of the curing arts of one of the capitals of loving liberal e.u. they've implemented a plan to finally get almost people off the streets at night so that they provide these desperate people with a job so they could at least earn a few. pounds and have some human dignity of course not they put down spikes everywhere on the ground so that the hobos have nowhere to sleep yes that is right they are laying down spikes to keep up the homeless just like dragon's teeth keep out tanks now if this happened somewhere in say bangladesh on a bad day i might say well that is their business but all the liberals in the e.u. just constantly cry from their ivory tower to the whole world about how we all need to be tolerant and be taxed to death to help people but as a guy who grew up in
5:26 pm
a bad neighborhood i can tell you that liberals never want to live near the people they claim to want to help you know henry ford was one of those guys who said that you should never give anybody any handouts so what he did was give the disabled and the poor a decent paying jobs at his factory so listen up you liberal loony bin if you want to get those evil yucky print for people off the streets just put them to work it will read your city of its homeless problem a lot faster than spikes will but that's just my opinion. economic right. now right and. what if the.
5:27 pm
street. technology innovation all the developments around russia we are going to the future are covered. 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
5:28 pm
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 then something that has to be has to be dealt with oh look at the world's richest banker actually recognize that income inequality is a real thing hard to take someone who had millions of people in the financial ruin seriously not to mention income inequality is exactly a pressing problem for blankfein last year goldman sachs is 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 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
5:29 pm
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 that. is that the the problem it was terrible to say the i'm very hard to take outlets again to plug a plug that you never had sex with that hurt their lives let's play. lists .
