doesn't do anything mission to teach reason why you should care about humans and. this is why you should care only. russia's embassy in kiev has attacked by rioters while ukraine's foreign minister arrives with some foul mouthed remarks for the cameras we'll have the details. it's the last chance for ukraine to settle its gas agreement with russia they had of gazprom accuse us of of deliberately disrupting the talks. and the fate of a country at stake iraq's army beaten back by a rose was so quiet a splinter group that's spreading through the country with a plan to seize baghdad and create a new islamist state. and later we'll look at when the at the week's top stories rival camps step up their campaigns and the brand of

now less than a hundred days away party here is the hopes and fears from both sides. to a mosque in watching our future national with me we're going to joshie russia's embassy in ukraine has been vandalized by crowds of young people who threw stones amount of cocktails and drew nazi symbols on the walls entering foreign minister turned up to siding with the riders and making some decidedly undiplomatic comments well scott has the details from. despite the fact that 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 here. official did turn up that

was ukraine's interim foreign minister he was there siding with the demonstrate is he expressed his 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 are going to have a good start because it was so good i think that the three 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 is apparently being 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 started pelting the building with paint and with aids 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 has given their identity away and the russian flag flying outside the russian embassy here in kiev has also now been replaced by the ukrainian flag now he has already say they've arrested several people who provoked the unrest outside the russian embassy but investigative journalist danny schachter suspects some in kiev are purposely trying to bait russia into a harsh response there's an urgency to it now i think from a commuter craney and one of your at least from the viewpoint of the ukrainian government suddenly with the events in iraq american media is shifting its. tension

away from ukraine to iraq at that would result in a i think a need on the part of some in the ukraine to try to get back into the media eye by staging incidents that could lead to a over response by 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 they refuse to accept compromises on the russian part hopefully to get the u.s. more involved in their situation i think that's going to be the game here that's being played out in east slovyansk the army tear it out an artillery attack overnight reportedly killing two people and a group of russian journalists were filming inside a hospital when the assault began here's some of the video they sent.

all the journalists were interviewing hospital staff when the military started firing in days and rushed into the basement and waited there until it was sent to. your what. some days of artillery attacks earlier this week a video emerged allegedly showing fire bombs being dropped on the city something kiev denies but one former british army an intelligence officer has recently returned from ukraine told us the attack there's a whole marks of banned phosphorus weapons i've seen the video i've looked at it closely it does indeed tally with what one might say. the hallmarks of white phosphorous use for example a very bright light and in and multiple. coming down from the sky it's an apt weapon that's been used such as a multiple pops and coughed and then of course again to tell it's still burning the videos are seen in the daytime showing actually this very tactile why it's

a gray smoke so what phosphorus being used as an alarming development of course it needn't necessarily be illegal but it depends on the use a chip concern and that's exactly why of course and indeed other people even from the west should be even if i haven't served should be calling for a proper and full investigation of this incident to prevent escalating now in the neighboring lugansk region and to the shot down a korean military plane early on saturday morning killing all forty nine aboard local celta fancy units have become increasingly weaponized are just falsely or has visited one of the or training camps to find out more. we are with 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

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. people are very scared the city is preparing for war we're evacuating women and children from the city bettman says that ukrainian military's tactic is to attack from behind so he's had these men sprawled out across the city were about to approach the cap and balance on steps 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. we're now at the military training camp and we're 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 the

hit from bombing with heavy artillery like in slovyansk in donetsk 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 you 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. if you will to match equipment training is the most important bettman keeps tight control of his men many still have families inside ukraine and while we constantly about them. it's not becoming a war it's already a war for most of the guys author dozens of new guns to city they're highly motivated they're between the ages of twenty and fifty five when i asked one of

them whether there are enough people here to take on the ukrainian military his own so was there is enough. but how many more need to die before the kiev government itself to clear is enough is enough to stay on t.v. outside two guns eastern ukraine. uranium authorities in the east have detained two journalists from a russian t.v. channel who were on bird to an airport to return to russia as the latest in a series of incidents where russian reporters have been apprehended r.t. dot com has more details about. the united states has sent an aircraft carrier to the source of iraq as washington ponders military help for the country where radical militants are conducting a ruthless onslaught and are edging worryingly close to baghdad the fierce fighting has now reached the provinces in and close to the capital as the army struggles to

hold back the advance of the islamic state of iraq and syria militant group the groups already installing its own islamist leadership in the second largest city of mosul which is occupied earlier this week isis has also managed to seize some american army hardware that was supplied earlier to iraq to help fight the insurgency or even work now has more in the. one leaving behind a sovereign stable and self-reliant iraq two and a half years later the people america left behind are running away. fleeing for their lives on hold a million people have already escaped from iraq's second city mosul off the i.s.i. al forced the army to retreat reports say gunmen have also sees a nearby oil refinery town iraq's prime minister calling for a state of emergency off the hundreds of gunman took control. of the northern city of mosul by wednesday militants had seized the turkish consulate in mussel

kidnapping the head of diplomatic mission and two dozen staff members some thirty thousand iraqi soldiers reportedly turned and ran as militants from the islamic state of iraq and syria known as isis moved in unleashing an all out assault on the city they've taken control of hospitals police stations they have taken control of ammunition dumps and weapons stores that the fleeing government forces of what if left behind many of the abandoned weapons and military hardware now in the hands of hardline terrorists were imported into iraq from gas where i think you all are aware of the shipments that we've provided that include the delivery of three hundred hellfire missiles millions of rounds of small arms fire thousands of rounds of tank ammunition helicopter fired rockets that iraqi security forces and don't forget about the u.s. supplied humvees here you can see isis insurgents riding and inspecting the vehicles driving them across the border into war torn syria critics call it an

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 night to fight back to the u.s. invasion to help the army we train 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 u.s. was looking for w m d's and spreading democracy. the unified and competent iraqi 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. are cheap now 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 jihad as the situation is no batter for troops either isis boasts that it's executed around seven thousand five hundred captured iraqi soldiers hundreds of iraqis have responded to a call to arms to the fan their towns but the army still remains out flying to almost every turn and fighting isis let's take a look at why firstly when the extremists seized in the open up access to the cash arms ammunition stored iraq's largest oil refining area is also at peril of being captured by isis 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 on top of that it's exploiting it fueling sectarian tensions in the community gathering public support

among radicalized sunni muslims while another branch of the group operates in syria just over the border providing a steady flow of reinforcements to iraq michael o'brien who was a u.s. defense department contractor in iraq discussed a worsening security there and the now. iraqi government's incompetent it's inept but you know that the job is impossible you know saddam was that was a bad actor he was a bad guy but he kept a lid on everything through force it's a lousy way to live but you know on his horse day things like this never happened the maliki you know is a shiite and the sunni's are upset because they were in charge and they want to take over again and saddam kept the lid on a wall of this maliki doesn't have a prayer of iraq that the iraqi government can't can't and i don't know if any iraqi government could do this unless it was a dictatorship like it was under saddam was hours remaining before the deadline

expires for a gas deal between russia and ukraine to be signed away examine what's at stake if the negotiations fail that and more coming shortly. but i'll talk about language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports but i'm not pushing the know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point somebody to say to secure yeah they cars are going to talk you know it's going to. take you know more weasel. when you made a direct question be prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for a. pretty speedy little down the freedom to process.

economic red tape. it's an outrage and. if the public. likes to. go back to watching r.t. of the national the clock's ticking for ukraine to decide what it's going to do about its gas deal with russia otherwise a face is being put on a pre-payment system and only getting supplied was gas it's already paid for talks have been regularly scuppered over t.v. insistence that it gets a massive discount which the head of energy provider gazprom directly blames on the interim prime minister and his former talk dorothy's medina collection of about why

talks are being disrupted the 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 raffa news and we're talking about an enormous sum of money that the state budget 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 there but presumably kiev is going to lose the most it's true 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 app until i am and that even without pain now apart from that ukrainian people do stand to lose out shafts simply dancers. piling up and russia has already offered a lower gas price but you more and the longer

a key of refuses to compromise and negotiate the the higher the eventual bill will be many people want to show europe 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 action the european supplies her 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 an energy source so if this continues to be the case when ukraine refuses to compromise which it does at the moment then you are up a likely face is being cut off in the near future and we've been in that situation before when ukraine failed to meet its gas obligations and that's led to only one

thing ukraine was siphoning off gas that was intended for european customers so just recently the borel bank asked him made it that such just in the area could see a massive price hike for gas for european nations in some cases up to fifty percent and actually i try to sum up some of the factors there is startling this negotiations still no deal despite concession after compromise after concession. on this woman proposes the russians offered to reduce the gas price spike one hundred dollars so-called discount to skew 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 treaty for a year. now refereeing the e.u.

found the offer fair. i believe three hundred eighty five dollars is a reduction and it can be considered 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 metres or so it's a bit on the street ukraine as you know have been offered a very generous discount on this and yet they still want lol and 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 you crank their support and forthright however a key of stubbornness may not be rooted in what it needs but what it wants which could well be profits. of ukraine wants to receive cheap gas and resell it basically making money using russia it's a very odd positions. another stumbling block what to do with

ukraine's four and a half billion dollar gas debt to russia. ukraine's naftogaz 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 offering 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 not if snipe bought like a claim no waffle in the market price as another country does. so far the quarreling sides have failed to reach a now. both solution fuck teachers practically ukraine's acting prime minister has

scope of 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 well with european pardonnez the ukrainian government is being intransigent and also putting the people of europe at risk that's why they do is actually cautiously supporting russia's position at this time but with monday's deadline ticking average closer hopes for a breakthrough or a slowly fading away and in the question are moscow now there's one country that's finally told government intelligence that it can't have an access away or use pass to people's private online data canada's supreme court insists law enforcers must get permission to pry from internet providers or dot com tells you what made the ruling possible. plus ever wondered what far off planet smelled like well

nasa has been sniffing around saturn as we tell you on line. countdown to scotland historic in japan as referendum passed the one hundred day mark this week both sides have upped the ante to win over wavering scots for now 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 is 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 art has been listening to opinions from both sides. and. you know money and they also get a good deal a deal of money out we have a lot of scoff and we've got to worry about having to pay off our pension bell the oil is is basically we get taxes roll tears from it. you know the oil prices

dropping through the floor you can be sure. you know your tire color me on oil with be together through war and peace basically people just fanatics. for what it's worth. for the united states it's and we want to break with that and everything that means but we all we want to say that we want to have influence we want to have influence with partners the way the economy in britain has been run just know is leading towards massive inequality on a historic skew and i think the real question is can we afford not to vote yes in september. let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and pakistani fighter jets have bombed the hideout of taliban linked militants in the rest of north west an army spokesman said at least fifty militants were killed but local officials say it's around a hundred and indefinite curfew has been imposed in the area strikes came in response to a taliban attack on kharaj airport and we could tell which killed dozens. really

prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the mosque militants are behind the kidnapping of three missing teenagers in the west bank the youngsters were abducted on thursday night as they returned home from a religious lesson near hebron i.d.f. troops have arrested some eighty palestinian suspects israeli soldiers also blocked roads in the hebron region and have shot three border crossings to gaza. starvation and disease in south sudan could kill fifty thousand children that's the warning from the u.n. which says infections such as color are spreading during the country's ferocious civil war thousands of people have already died and an estimated million and a half have been displaced the unrest began last december when the army turned on troops loyal to the vice president who was accused of attempting a coup. fortunately the national coming up worlds apart and how the islamist gains in iraq might cause a shift in washington's geopolitics. in

london in one of the caring hearts 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 the jobs 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 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 are decent paying jobs at his factory so listen up you liberal loony bin if you want to get those evil yucky cred 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. right see. first for you and i think you're. an army corps with.

well. technology innovation all the developments around. we've got the future are covered. hello and welcome to worlds apart a week ago and the ukrainian crisis seemed to one of the greatest challenges to global peace and security yet but thousands of extremists overtaking iraq's second largest city helped put things into perspective will the advance of isis in iraq change washington political calculus well to

discuss that i'm now joined by christopher hill a former u.s. ambassador to iraq and the current dean of the joseph horrible school of international studies at the university of denver ambassador hill thank you very much for being on the show my pleasure now the ukrainian crisis if i could start with that was about security both for russia and the west and i think both sides want very far in defending their security interests and yet somehow despite the continuing blotches in ukraine you know the events in the rack really seem to preserve a security danger a security challenge of a totally different magnitude with i wonder if they what their real danger really is ok well let me first say that i think the ukrainian crisis is still with us and i think it's in everyone's interests that ukraine emerged.
