twenty four hours a day life from moscow you're watching r.t. international. russia's embassy in ukraine has been vandalized by crowds of young people who threw stones and molotov cocktails and drew nazi symbols on the walls interim foreign minister turned up siding with the rioters are making some decidedly undiplomatic comments paul scott has the details from kiev. despite the fact there was no police presence to stop events unfolding on saturday which is in breach of the vienna convention incidentally which says that all embassies should be protected from attack by the host nation despite this lack of police presence one official did turn up that was ukraine's interim foreign minister he was there siding with the demonstrate is now what he expressed his
5:02 am
concern for the safety of the ukrainian stuff inside the embassy and he also called for the closure of the border between russia and ukraine but the diplomats was caught on camera using less than diplomatic language when talking about russian president vladimir putin if you're going to have a good start because it was so good i think it looks very like you know. well what this means for diplomatic relations between russia and ukraine remains to be seen russia have taken their concerns over saturday's events to the united nations they're calling for a resolution condemning the attack on their embassy which has apparently been blocked by western nations now police say it all started on saturday when around one hundred demonstrators arrived outside the embassy carrying anti russia placards and shouting anti putin slogans but the mood soon turned sour and the atmosphere deteriorated when masked men believed to be from the right sector turned up they
5:03 am
started pelting the building with paint and with eggs and they smashed windows as well they overturned vehicles and smashed cars to pieces the demonstrators are angry accusing russia of supplying arms to anti-government forces in the east of ukraine it's believed that many of the masked men were from the right sector because they were red and black right sector partners giving their identity away on the russian flag flying outside the russian embassy here in kiev has also now been replaced by the ukrainian flag well kiev authorities say they have arrested several people who provoked the unrest and side the russian embassy but investigative journalist danny schechter suspects that purposely. trying to bait russia into a harsh response there's an urgency to it now i think from a cranium point of your always from the viewpoint of ukrainian government suddenly would be events in iraq american media is shifting its attention away from ukraine to iraq that would get results you know i think indeed on the part of some in the
5:04 am
ukraine to try to get back into the media i hope by staging incidents that could lead to over response why russians which they could then use to justify calls for intervention or more support from the united states they could provoke a intensification or an escalation of the crisis there that gives them a pretext to refuse to pay for gas to refuse to accept compromises on the russian part hold fully to get the u.s. more involved in their situation i think actually the big game here that's being played remark and the sense of the army carried out an artillery attack overnight reportedly killing two people a group of russian journalists were filming inside the hospital when the assault began here's some of the video that they sent. from. the journalists who were interviewing hospital staff when the military started

firing they then rushed into the basement and whites in there until it was say. the civilians cousin joe days of artillery attacks nearly this week video emerged allegedly showing fire bombs being dropped on the city we spoke to a former british army an intelligence officer who's recently returned from ukraine and he told us the attack bears the hallmarks of banned phosphorus weapons. i've seen the video of looked at it closely it does indeed tallow is what one might say . the hallmarks of white phosphorous use for example a very bright light burning and multiple burns coming down from the sky it's an airbrush weapon that's been used such as a mortar or perhaps from an aircraft and then of course again the telltale still burning the videos i've seen in the daytime showing actually this very tell tale white a gray smoke so white phosphorus being used it's an alarming development of course it needn't necessarily be legal but it depends on the use
5:06 am
a chicken said and that's exactly why of course and indeed others and indeed people even from the west should be even if they haven't so far should be calling for a proper and full investigation of this incident to prevent escalating and in a neighboring against region activists shot down ukrainian military plane early on saturday morning killing all forty nine people on board local self-defense units have become increasingly weaponized r.t. support a slayer has visited one of their training camps to find out more. we are what the anti government fighters were on the way to a training camp here in the city of no guns they're not telling us exactly where this camp is because of security reasons bettman how much time want to take us to get there. if. it's secret but we'll know when we get there bettman was a former officer with the ukrainian elite police before switching sides only
5:07 am
a month ago he commanded a team of just twelve men today they numbered more than one hundred and are growing by the day all of them volunteers each with a code name to hide his identity how is the situation on the ground at the moment to which people are very scared the city is preparing for war we're evacuating women and children from the city bettman says that ukrainian military static is to attack from behind so he's had his main spall out across the city were about to approach the camp and badlands asked us to switch off the camera deep in the forests it's easy to see why they've set up base here everything is camouflaged making it difficult for the ukrainian army to find them where now at the military training camp and we'll also to see them do training with knives this is training for close combat but a whole which ones comes with the marines not planning on close combat fighting they're here trying to bomb in with heavy artillery like in sloviansk in donetsk
5:08 am
the guys here come from just about every background you have former students you have former businessmen you have former drivers and you also have ex-military and police so you have people with a lot of military experience but also have some for whom this is the first time that they're picking up a knife or a gun and so the sharing of skills and experience is vital and the guys have told me to put two of these in my ears because there's going to be a hell of a noise. the automatic weapon training is the most important batsman keeps trying to control over his men many still have families inside ukraine and while we constantly about them. need us it's not becoming a war it's already a war three. most of the guys are citizens of lugansk city they're highly motivated they're between the ages of twenty and sixty five when i asked one of them whether there are enough people here to take on the ukrainian military his answer was
5:09 am

unintended consequence of the u.s. war in iraq coming home to roost there weren't any real sizable organized militant groups in iraq until al qaeda of the mesopotamia rose during the flight back to the u.s. invasion to help the army we've trained them for eight years and that didn't seem to work. bush dismantled the original iraqi army after the u.s. invasion and that's the root of the problem the u.s. war in iraq cost washington close to one trillion dollars and a lot. more than forty five hundred soldiers hundreds of thousands of iraqis have reportedly been killed while the us was looking for w m d's and spreading democracy . the unified and competent it walking military that was allegedly established has buckled weapons that were made in the usa are now in the hands of america's enemies and the country left to fend for itself in a state of crisis we're in
5:13 am
a point now where our team. twelve the u.n. says more than a thousand civilians have been killed this month alone and the ongoing violence has forced eight hundred thousand people to flee their homes to escape the advancing jihadists in the situation is no better for troops either i suppose that it has executed around seventeen hundred captured iraqi soldiers hundreds of iraqis have responded to a call to arms to defend their towns but the army still remains outflanked at almost every turn in fighting isis let's take a quick look at why that might be the case well firstly when the extremists seize mosul it opened up access to the cash arms and ammunition stores iraq's largest oil refined which could endanger the country's already weak economy and the number of militants is growing the group is said to have helped hundreds of prisoners escaped from jail swelling its ranks in the process and on top of that it's exploiting and fueling sectarian tensions in the community gathering public support among

5:15 am
scotland as to whether they should stick or split with britain has gathered i speak up on that part of the story in a couple of. we will be barred from fire the. pardon of laws rules and regulations which cause europe to be the school. i mean the reason that europe is going down all the time is because the rules and regulations are killing strangling business. i think. i.
5:16 am
now. want. like. the clock's ticking for ukraine to decide what it's going to do a back to its gas deal with russia otherwise it faces being put on a pre-payment system and only getting supplied with the gas it's already paid for talks have been regularly put over kids insistence that it gets a massive discount which the head of the energy provider gazprom directly blames on
5:17 am
me into rim. i mean it's the ultimate in a question of who's got the details. average single party that is involved in this really ongoing dispute only stand to lose and russia including as the country is losing billions in rafa news and we're talking about an enormous sum of money that the state budget is quite depended on and of course there is the country's reputation as a reliable allergy supplier now that refutation is currently at stake you mentioned russia presumably kiev is going to lose the most it's true a while however while the row has rumbled on at the same time ukraine has been secretly stockpiling gas reserves and just recently the country's government announced that they do have enough to last until i am and that's even without pain now apart from that ukrainian people do stand to lose out simply dance are piling up and russia has already offered
5:18 am
a lower gas price but do you more and the longer key of refuses to compromise and negotiate the the higher the eventual bill will be many people want to show you the rest of europe is a bystander in all this but actually europe could suffer to it's true because europe is not at all a bystander actually the european supplies are most triscuit but just looking simply at this graphic suit can see how much you are is the patent on gas from supplies and there's actually more than that for some european nations gas from is the only source so if this continues to be the case when ukraine refuses to compromise which it does at the moment then you are a likely faces being cut off in the near future and we've been in that situation before when ukraine feel to me that it's a gas obligations and that it's less. only one thing
5:19 am
a crane was siphoning off gas that was intended for european customers so just recently the borel bank asked a made at that such as the naira could see a massive price hike for gas for european nations in some cases up to fifty percent and actually i try to sell my some of the factors there are styling this negotiations still no deal despite concession after compromise after concession. we see on the side of we win on purpose is the russians offered to reduce the gas price by one hundred dollars a so-called discount on those cute and so they did lowering the price to three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters which is roughly what european countries pay for russian gas what's more moscow is ready to guarantee that trade for increased a year and refereeing the e.u. found the offer fair. i believe that three hundred eighty five dollars is
5:20 am
a reduction and it can be considered a reasonable but with some people you give an inch and they take a mile and we support the we pay the price that we consider is the market rate and that is two hundred sixty eight dollars for a thousand cubic meter is acceptable when mr crane had a you know i have been offered a very generous discount on this and they still want whole it really is quite incredible that the butt of the ukrainian government is i don't think any amount of this got ready will satisfy ukraine best forty four fight it however give stubbornness may not be rooted in what it needs but what it wants which could well be profits could insist on the ukraine wants to receive cheap gas and resell it basically making money using russia it's a very odd position. another stumbling block. what to do with
5:21 am
ukraine's four and a half billion dollar gas debt to russia. ukraine that the gas is not going to pay its debt to gasp from until we reach a package agreement by its occurrence because that on the strategy of the ukrainian side is outright blackmail according to kiev a deal can be reached only and exclusively on ukrainian terms russia's gas from offer to save the day or at least offered a huge saving pay half of the debts and get a twenty percent discount on the rest otherwise ukraine would be switched to a pay in advance system russia needs to make sure that ukraine is paying the market price no ifs no buts no cracklin no what flint the market price as another country does. so far the quarreling sides have failed to reach an amicable solution if like teaches practically ukraine's acting prime
5:22 am
minister has operated the talks from the start ukraine took no constructive steps made no compromises and apparently wants to maximally aggravate our gas relations which may not be says in well with a european pardonnez the ukrainian government is being intransigent and also putting the people of europe at risk that's why the e.u. is actually cautiously supporting russia's position at this time by with monday's deadline taking average closer hopes for a breakthrough a slowly fading away and in the question r.t. moscow. now there's one country that's finally tell government intelligence that it can't have an access all areas pass to people's private online data down to deceive brain gordon says your own forces must get permission to pry from internet providers r.t. dot com tell you what made the routing possible plus also that you ever wondered what far off planets smell like or nasa has been sniffing around saturn as we tell
5:23 am
you on. the can down to scotland's historic independence referendum past the hundred day mark this week both sides have upped the ante to win over wavering scots for now though polls show the no camp is leading but separatist campaigners have been steadily gaining supporters with a four percent rise in the last four months but there's much more to it than just flag waving and national identity at stake is the cost of breaking from britain and whether it could be an independent member of the e.u. and nato r.t. has been listening to opinions from both sides. and. will give you money and also get a good deal of your money out we have a lot of scots and we got to worry about i were going to pay off for our pension bell the oil is is basically we get taxes iraq is from it. you know the oil prices dropping through the floor you can be sure tar. you know your tire color me
5:24 am
on oil with we together through war and peace basically these people are just fanatics. for what it's worth this is a vassal states for the for the united states and we want to break with that and everything that that means but we all we want to say that we want to have influence we want to have influence with partners there with the economy in britain has been one just know is leading towards massive inequality on a historic scale and i think the real question is can we afford not to vote yes in september. some of today's world headlines now and pakistani fighter jets have bombed the hyde act of taliban linked militants in the restive north west an army spokesman said at least fifteen militants were killed but local officials say it's around a hundred and indefinite curfew has been imposed in the area of strikes came in response to a taliban attack on karate airport a week ago which killed dozens. of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says

5:26 am
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 this sea of opinion the kiev side. it is using artillery and fact there have been numerous reports of artillery strikes like the one that just a few days ago hit the sales of hope orphanage which was thankfully empty at the time why is our tour 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
5:27 am
populated areas well if we turn on our brain 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.
