a pan its referendum campaign passing hundred days to go mark this week r.t. hears some of the hopes and fears fueling the yes and no campaigns. which aren't international coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie russia's am a senior cray has been vandalized by crowds of young people who threw stones and patio bombs and drew nazi symbols on the walls ukraine's interim foreign minister turned up to and his diplomacy consisted of shouting of seeing slogans together with the vandals all scott has the details from. despite the fact that there was no up 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 and. 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 if you're going to have a good start because that we're going to see that but i think it looks very good. for the. 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 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 in the atmosphere

deteriorated when masked men believed to be from the right sector turned up they 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 has given their identity away. when ukrainian p.l.c. 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 an urge to throw it at the embassy as you can see here he tried to protest but that was in vain and it happened he succumbed to the pressure and the cheering from the rioters although he did learn a hard lesson in how crowds can turn just a few minutes later he was pelted with green stain by

a protester who apparently to exception to the devaney turning up in a luxury car the crowd then puncture it's the tires of his little legs eeriest vehicles forcing the deputy to go home by bus now journalist and filmmaker danny schechter believes key if elise were instructed not to protect the russian embassy from the aggression. i think that the government of the ukraine asked to try to position itself as independent of certainly extremist groups i don't think they want to be in alliance with those groups but in reality they're in a situation where they have to respond to facts on the ground what happens actually out there in the streets police always follow orders they follow orders from above so if no orders are being given to defend the embassy from above obviously there's a higher level of involvement in this potentially now anger against russia is also

apparent in ukrainian media was growing opposition in newspaper and media reports. theo what of all that russia was running out sabotage forces to carry out provocations in ukraine as the last one from our the russian media in stirring that hysteria about tens of thousands of refugees escaping from eastern ukraine i was here and i wasn't about this russia could be planning a provocation using ukrainian military jets captured in crimea or even attempt to discredit the state army because suddenly with the events in iraq american media is shifting its attention away from ukraine to iraq ukrainians who support the current government want to bring it back to ukraine the way to do that is with charges that russia is somehow either invading said big tanks there or other ways or representing a threat to ukraine and so there's a game being played here clearly a geopolitical game staging incidents that could lead to it over response by

russians which they could then use to justify calls for intervention or more support from the united states another town in eastern ukraine has suffered heavy damage from shelling and here's what the town looks like after a night of bombardment what is said to be artillery and rocket launcher of fire hit the central market and bus station paralyzing public transport several houses have also been leveled the anti-government forces say the army was the one firing while military officials blame the activist in return. about one hundred fifty kilometers away in slovyansk two people were killed in an overnight artillery attack by the army a group of russian journalist was filming inside a hospital when the assault began and here's some of the video they sent. now the journalists were interviewed hospital staff when the military started firing the then rushed into the basement and waited there until it was say.

some balance has endured days of artillery attacks earlier 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 bands phosphorus weapons. i've seen the video of 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 but in and multiple. coming down from the sky it's an f. weapon that's been used such as a multiplier from and i coughed and then of course again the telltale still burning the videos i've seen in the. sharing actually that's very. 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 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 ukrainian authorities have declared sunday a day of mourning after anti-government forces shot down a military plane and look ganske region killing all forty nine on board local activists have become increasingly weaponized as the army's operation against them intensifies our policy or visited an anti-government training camp 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 a question 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 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 the bombing with. the guys here come from just about every

background you have former students you have form of 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. if you want to match equipment training is the most important batsman keeps trying to control over his men 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 author dozens 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 clear is enough is enough to stay on t.v. outside two guns eastern ukraine. ukrainian authorities in the east have detained it to journalists from a russian t.v. channel who were on route to an air force to return to russia it's the latest in a series of incidents where russian reporters have been apprehended and can find out more about their plight parts of the. u.s. aircraft carrier is heading for the persian gulf as washington prepares a foothold in case military options are required in iraq this week extremists from the islamic state in iraq and syria group advance to within fifty kilometers of baghdad driven by the goal of creating a radical hotbed in the region and the second largest city mosul this goal may
