full picture of today's news. from around the globe. look. russia's embassy in kiev has attacked by rioters while ukraine's foreign minister arrives with some foul mouth remarks for the cameras we have the details. it's a last chance for ukraine to settle its gas agreement with russia pan out of gas from accuses king of of deliberately disrupting the talks. on the fate of a country at stake iraq's army beaten back by a ruthless al qaida splinter group that's spreading through the country with a plan to seize baghdad and create a new as long as state. and later when we look at the week's top stories rival camps step up their campaigns with confidence in the piano's referendum now

less than a hundred days away r.t. here's the hopes and fears from both sides. which are seen a national coming to life from moscow with miriam and josh russia's amberson ukraine has been vandalized by crowds of young people who threw stones and mobs of cocktails and drew nazi symbols on the walls and foreign minister turned up to siding with the riders and making some decidedly undiplomatic comments postcard has the details from. 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 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. thought it was good but i think that the three did not. know well what this comment 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 that 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 and the e.u.'s foreign policy office has demanded t. have guarantees the safety of the russian diplomatic mission ukraine's us already said they had arrested several people who provoked saturday night's unrest outside the embassy but a mascot of journalist danny schachter is suspect some in kiev are purposely trying to bait russia into a harsh response. there's an urgency to it now i think from a communal cranium point of you're always from the viewpoint of ukrainian

government suddenly with the events in iraq american media is shifting its attention away from ukraine to iraq and that results in a i think a need on the part of some in the ukraine to try to get back into the media i 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 when ukrainian m.p.r. arrived at the scene of the rioting it's thought he went there to try and ease the situation but instead he was handed a stone and urged to throw it at the embassy as you can see here. oh he

tried. to protest but that was in vain and the deputy succumbed to the pressure and the cheering from the riders although he did learn a hard lesson in how crowds can turn just a few minutes later he was held it was by a protester who apparently took exception to the deputy turning up in a luxury car. out east in slavyansk the army carried out an artillery attack overnight reportedly killing two people a group of russian journalists were filming inside a hospital when the assault began and here's some of the video say sant. the journalists were interviewing hospital staff went to military started firing they then rushed into the basement and waited there until it was seen. some and scavenger or days of artillery attacks earlier this week video emerged

allegedly showing fire bombs being dropped on the city something kiev denies but one former british army and intelligence officer who's recently returned from ukraine told us the attack there is the whole marks of banned phosphorous weapons i've seen the video i've looked at it closely it does indeed tally with what one might say. the whole box of white phosphorus used for example a very bright light but in and multiple. coming down from the sky it's an f. weapon it's been used such as a multiplier. and then of course again to tell it's still burning the videos i've seen in the daytime showing actually this very tactile white or 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 the church concerned 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 full investigation of this incident to prevent escalating is neighboring lagon screech an activist shot down a military plane early on saturday morning killing all forty nine aboard local self-defense units have become increasingly weaponized artist falsely or 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 new gun square not telling us exactly where this camp is because of security reasons bettman how much time want to take us to get there. is. it 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 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 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 where 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 heat from bombing with heavy artillery like. 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 trying to control over his made many still have families inside ukraine and when we constantly about them. it's not becoming a war it's already a war for most of the guys all citizens of new guns 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 answer was there's enough. but how many more need to die before the kiev government itself to

clean enough is enough to stay on t.v. outside two guns eastern ukraine. or ukrainian authorities in the east have detained two journalists from a russian t.v. channel who were on route to an airport to return to russia as the latest in a series of incidents where russian reformers have been upper hand at r.t. dot com has more details on that. the united states has sent an aircraft carrier to the shores 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 of saad dean and diyala close to the capital as the army struggles to hold back the advance of the islamic state of iraq and syria militant groups the groups already installing its own islamist leadership in the second largest city. which earlier this week isis has also managed to seize some

american army hardware that was supplied earlier to rock to help fight the insurgency that has more in that. what we're leaving behind a sovereign stable and self-reliant iraq two and a half years later the people america left behind are running away cleaning for their lives on hoth 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 after hundreds of gunman took control of strategic parts 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 would be 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 the mesopotamia rose during that to fight

back at 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 us invasion and that's the root of the problem the u.s. war in iraq cost washington close to one trillion dollars and the lives of 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 a stablished 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 arena put our team now the u.n. says more than a thousand civilians have been killed this month alone the ongoing violence has forced eight hundred thousand people to flee their homes to escape the advancing to

harvest the situation is no better for troops either i says boast that it's executed around seventeen hundred captured iraqi soldiers while hundreds of iraqis have responded to a call to arms to the fan their towns but the army still tomorrow remains flying at almost every turn and fighting isis was tied to the local y. well firstly when the extremists who would open up access to the cash arms and ammunition stored iraq's largest oil refining area is also a peril of being captured by isis which could endanger of 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 and 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 bryant who was a u.s.

defense department contractor in iraq discussed the worsening security there on artie's in the now. iraqi government's incompetent it's inept put 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 a lid on all 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 now with hours remaining before the deadline expires for a gas deal between russia and ukraine to be signed we examine what's at stake if the negotiations fail and that more it's coming your way very shortly.

that we will be pardoned by the enormous pardon of laws rules and regulations which you know cause europe to be the school are all to monster it is i mean the reason that europe's going going down all the time is because the rules and regulations are killing and strangling business. there's a media leave us so we leave the media. by the same motions see during the day your party there's a bill. for suze that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. .

i'm. welcome back this is our t. international the clock is 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 that's already paid for talks have been regularly scuppered over caves and systems that it gets a massive discount which i had a vendor g. provider gas from directly blames on the interim prime minister and former talk to them about why a deal seems so far off even at this late stage. 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 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 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 even without paying now apart from that ukrainian people do stand to lose out shafts simply debts are piling up and russia has already offered a lower gas price but 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 you the rest of europe is a bystander in all of 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 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 likely faces being cut off in the near future and we've been in that situation before when ukraine feel to gas obligations and that's led to only one thing ukraine was siphoning off gas that was a. ended for european customers so just recently the borel bank asked him made at

that such as the naira could see a massive prize hike for gas for european nations in some cases up to fifty per cent and actually i try to sell mum some of the factors there are styling this negotiations still no deal despite concession after compromise after concession. we see others of we were numb proposes the russians offered to reduce the gas price spike 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 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 meters is acceptable to one mr ukraine at a you know i have been offered a very generous discount on this and they still what role and it really is quite incredible that the. of the ukrainian government is i don't think any amount of this got ready will satisfy you crank their support and forthright it however a key of stubbornness may not be rooted in what it needs but what it wants which could well be profits because that 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 ukraine's foreign 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 no ifs no buts like claim no waffle in the market price as another country does. so far the quarreling science has failed to reach an amicable solution if the teachers get practically ukraine's acting prime minister has scuppered 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 partners 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 of this poem but with monday's deadline taking average closer hopes for a breakthrough or a slowly fading away mind in the question of moscow there's one country that's finally told government intelligence data can't have an access all areas pass to people's private online data canada's supreme court insists that law enforcers must get permission to pry from internet providers r.t. 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. the countdown to scotland's historic in

a pan is referendum past 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 as a cost of breaking from britain and whether to be an independent member of the e.u. and nato argues 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 scots and we got to worry about when to pay off our pension bell the oil is going to get taxes and roll tears from it. you know the oil prices dropping through the floor you can be sure. you know you're tired calling me on oil with me together through war and peace. people are just fanatics but for what it's worth

this is a vassal state. 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 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 some of today's world headlines now pakistani fighter jets have bombed hideouts of taliban linked militants and the rest of northwest an army spokesman said at least fifty militants were killed but local officials say it's around a hundred and a definite curfew has been imposed in the area the strikes came in response to a taliban attack on kharaj airport a week ago which killed dozens. really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says in the past 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

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 the sea of opinion the kiev side 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 the cave even sea 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 populated areas well if we turn on our brains 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. my. arms. moved.

on a. level there is an absolute commitment to advancing the goal of your fit into christian we have a very ambitious plans we have a vicious guns we've given him pieces government we have especially since the figure of regime and i know for change.
