take the bus home russia's foreign official complain in kiev over the embassy attack and wants compensation for the damage russia's foreign minister also weighed in on a colorful comment of his ukrainian counterpart. so bill i was particularly offended that the so-called protesters were joined by the interim parliament appointed foreign minister of ukraine he took the liberty of making statements that transgress the bounds of decency i realize he's learned from someone else those in washington who support the current ukrainian authorities aren't shy of using strong language but it diplomat has to moderate his language nevertheless i don't know how he's going to communicate work with us now a good new reason to believe that the attack on the embassy was organized by the ukrainian authorities but i have no doubt that this is a sign of the impunity they feel because of the way our western partners support them ukraine's president hasn't said anything about the attack on the russian embassy in kiev yet michael carly is an expert on russia relations with the west two things president par shankar was rightly playing it safe. i'm guessing that he
11:05 pm
needs to consult his american brokers and perhaps his private sector backers. he's caught between a rock and a hard place his main strongest backers want to open inflict with russia but he's not a stupid man and he must know that the conflict would put an end to his presidency if i were in his. he doesn't have a lot of time to make his mind up to be sitting on top of that leaving you know he says they've arrested several people who provoked an arrest outside the russian embassy and are doing what they can to ensure security for russia's the diplomats were investigated journalist danny schechter speculate some in kiev could be purposely trying to bait russia into a harsh response this is an urgency to it now i think from a cranium point of your always from the viewpoint of ukrainian government suddenly
11:06 pm
with the events in iraq american media is shifting its it can shift away from ukraine to iraq that results in i think a need on the part of some in the ukraine to try. to get back into the media i know by staging incidents that could lead to 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 to hopefully get the u.s. more involved in their situation i think that's the game here that's being played military operation against activists and eastern ukraine continues reports of artillery fire in both the main restive regions there early hours of monday morning shelling reported outside of the city of lugansk the regional capital in one of the
11:07 pm
hubs of antigovernment on arrest video footage is emerged showing a village near the flashpoint city of slovyansk in the neighboring and. apparently showing the aftermath of shelling of attacks what looks like projectiles falling from the sky anti-government activists say the military is using phosphorus which is banned internationally. earlier in the week a video emerged allegedly showing fire bombs dropping on the city of slovyansk which remains one of the main targets of the military's artillery former british army intelligence officer recently returned from ukraine tells us he thinks evidence points to the use of banned phosphorus weapons. i've seen the video of looks 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 episode when it's been used such as a multitude of props and croft and then of course again the talent still burning and videos i've seen in the daytime showing actually this very. white

a gray smoke white phosphorus being used at an alarming development of course it needn't necessarily be legal but it depends on the use a chip consent and that's exactly why of course and indeed other people even from the west should be even if i haven't should be calling for pop in for an investigation of this incident to prevent a escalating the military cargo a military target a plane down near the city of lugansk on saturday all forty nine people aboard were killed allegedly shot down by self-defense forces in order to counter increasing military assaults more activists in eastern ukraine are taking up arms and undergoing combat training artie's policy or visited an anti government training camp. 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

11:10 pm
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 heavy artillery like in sloviansk in donetsk the guys here come from just about every background you have for students who 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 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. the automatic with kind of training is the most important batman keeps tight control over his maiden maybe still have families inside ukraine and when we constantly about them. it's not becoming a war it's already a war. most of the guys author dozens of guns city they're highly motivated they're

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 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 u.s. invasion and that's the root of the problem the u.s. war in iraq cost washington close to one trillion dollars in 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 a w and. defs 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

the country another branch of the group operates just over the border in syria providing a steady flow of reinforcements into iraq peter van buren a veteran foreign service officer for the u.s. thinks the world has been just beginning to feel the consequences of the war in iraq. when you deliver weapons to the battlefield you really have no control over what happens to them the united states has made a number of terrible mistakes in iraq and supplying all these weapons including air to ground missiles and things that could easily leak out of iraq and threaten us elsewhere everything that we're seeing today is made inevitable by the two thousand and three invasion the united states never understood that iraq was three separate states the sunni the shia and the kurds state held together by a strong man saddam and a very powerful security apparatus when all of that was done away with it was inevitable that some kind of settling was going to be necessary for these three groups to live you're seeing right now is the inevitable settling of the mess the

united states kicked over so they come scotland's independence referendum a little more than three months away with polls suggesting support for independence at a new high we take a look at arguments for both sides. but first another round of gas talks between russia and ukraine failed to produce an agreement in kiev russian officials reiterating that ukraine must settle half its multibillion dollar debt before six g.m.t. or have to pay all futures applies in advance and your farmer discuss the elusive deal with. average single party that is involved in this really ongoing dispute only stand to lose and russia including us 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
11:18 pm
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 down shafts simply dance are piling up and russia has already offered a lower gas price but more and the longer key of refuses to compromise and negotiate the higher the eventual bill will be many people want to show. the rest of europe is a bystander in all this but actually europe could suffer to its true because europe is not at all a bystander actually the european supplies are most triscuit but just looking
11:19 pm
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 meet its 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 prize 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
11:20 pm
concession. we see on the sort of woman proposes 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 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 or so it's about one mr ukraine as you know have been offered a very generous discount on this and yet they still what role and it really is
11:21 pm
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 and forthright however a key of stubbornness may not be rooted in what it needs but what it wants which could well be profits. that 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 but it's occurring 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 powered operate to save the day or at least offered
11:22 pm
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 science have failed to reach an amicable solution if like 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 ing well with the 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 by with monday's
11:23 pm
deadline taking average closer helps for a breakthrough or a slowly fading away lines in the question r.t. moscow ever russia cuts energy supply of ukraine the country could resort to siphoning transit gas bound for europe a possibility that worries brussels government business consultant christophe horst all things that there is one party that may like to see negotiations falter. honestly and the moscow is shown all kinds of patience and libyans and reduce the price and to stop the old about things like that washington's intent is to you know stop the good understanding in the europe between the e.u. and russia and the good 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 more stories a click away on r.t.

11:25 pm
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 now more of a blame game with that woman instead of going to go see asia stable where the 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. as we see brings more and more violence and hardship the moment for scotland to make its big decision looms closer with less than one hundred days till the independence referendum both sides are busy trying to sway undecided scots the no camp has a clear lead in the polls but their opponents have been gaining ground increasing their support four percent in as many months for some the choice isn't between
