dramas that try to be ignored. stories others to use in those. places change the world like snow. the old picture. from around the. globe to. fifteen minutes past the hour now another round of gas talks between a russia and ukraine failed to lead to an agreement in kiev russian officials reiterate that kiev must settle half its multi-billion dollar debt before six o'clock g.m.t. or pay for all future supplies in advance and to farmer discuss the elusive deal with artie's medina coach you know. 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 pain now apart from that ukrainian people do stand to lose out shafts simply dance are 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 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 me that it's a gas obligations and that's led to only one thing ukraine was siphoning off gas that was a. tended for european customers so just recently the borel bank asked

a maid 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 mother some of the factors there are styling this negotiations still no deal despite concession after compromise after concession. to see others of we win on purpose is the russians offered to reduce the gas price spike one hundred dollars a so-called discount on those cute and so they did a 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 now refereeing the e.u. found the offer fayer. 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 or so but when mr crane as you know has been offered a very generous discount on this i think they still want lol and that really is quite incredible that the. of the ukrainian government is i don't think any amount of this got ready will satisfy you create their support for fight it however give 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 position. 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 no ifs no buts no cackling no waffle in the market price as another country does. so far the quarreling sides have failed to reach an amicable solution if a teacher's 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 ing 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 it is prime but with monday's deadline taking average closer helps for a breakthrough or a slowly fading away lines in the question r.t. moscow air freshener because it is applied in ukraine a country could resort to siphoning transit gas bound for europe possibility that concerns brussels government and business consultant christoph horst all think there's one party that would like to see negotiations fault. honestly and the moscow is shown all kinds of patience and lead in this and reduce the prize to stop deals about things like that washington's intent is to you know stop the europe between the e.u.

and russia and a good vehicle to do that is this kind of you know gas trouble created in effect with washington spec'ing and so we need not wait for any you know good approach of the interim regime always plenty more stories for you a click away on our team dot com including two dimensional policeman the u.k. spending eighty five thousand dollars on cardboard cutout law enforcement officers to stop shoplifters more on that on our website plus. there's video showing hockey fans celebrating in los angeles as their team wins the stanley cup and they have boozy ass to clean through objects into the air one of them accidentally downing what appears to be a drone belonging to the l.a.p.d. on our website we have footage and the story. some eighty palestinians have been arrested in connection with the abduction of three jewish teenagers from the west bank earlier israeli forces closed off an area around hebron in the search for the

teens one of whom is an american citizen militants linked to the islamic state of iraq and syria said they were behind the abduction there was rules prime minister rejects that claim and accuses hamas a faction of the newly formed palestinian government of kidnapping them human rights activist resigned he tells us that the breakdown of peace talks led to an escalation in violence. i really hope that we go back to the situation where we talk with the palestinians about ending the conflict about a permanent status agreement which is the real necessity where there is a vacuum when leaders leaders don't talk and i'm sad to say that the israeli government gave up very easily and he's been playing more of a blame game with that woman and instead of going to go see asia stable where there is a political vacuum violent elements come in and we see the result i think the best way to prevent such in the future is to have a permanent status agreement agreement we are the palestinians that will serve

israel's national interest best because continuing this situation as we see brings more and more violence and hardship the moment for scotland to make its big decision is drawing closer less than one hundred days until its independence referendum and both sides busy trying to sway undecided scots in their support by four percent in as many months for some the choice isn't between independence or not but rather two radically different visions of scotland or he's been listening to opinions from both sides. and. neil money and bill to get a good deal a deal of money out we have a lot of calls and we've got to worry about i were going to pay off our our pension bill the oil is basically we get taxes and roll tears from it. you know the all prices dropping through the floor you can be sure. you know you're tired call me on oil with me together through war and peace basically people are just fanatics this is for what it's worth this is
