one hour left until moscow says it will cut off gas supplies for ukraine is kiev fails to sort out paying its debt by the deadline. america's tooled up whole police patrols as the pentagon hardware left we asked whether offices really need military grade gear. plus britain's secret trial an appeals court forced the government's plans to dispense some closed door justice in the name of national security.
1:01 am
tellers could have a company you're watching r.t. international. that is just one hour left to pay half its gas debt to russia if nothing is agreed moscow says it will cut off supplies for ukraine both sides failed to settle their last ditch talks in kiev on sunday night a core set of reports from outside gas proms headquarters in the russian capital. could be talking about a fourth the ms that line for ukraine and russia has been quite patient so far considering the amount of money it's all with we're talking about for him to have billion dollars in that and russia has tried to be reasonable offer in a deal that many actually would describe as a steal they have the money now get it's wednesday percent discount on the rest of the day plus one hundred dollars off the contractual price per unit fixed for at least one year this would actually save ukraine millions of dollars in the long term so basically russia is asking for a reduced three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters and in fact
1:02 am
this is a price that even the european energy commissioner has called reasonable bots that's not the view of ukraine's prime minister who said he had to leave because he wants to pay no more than two hundred sixty five dollars which is the price agreed upon with the cranes previous leadership before february scusa now both sides are preparing to go to the international courts ukraine with accusations of political game playing russia simply wants to repay then actually russia has moved back the deadline many times but now it seems that patience as finally run out and europe will have to deal will be with the crane stubbornness in many european countries are now dreading a repeat of two thousand and six and two thousand and nine when ukraine was called siphoning fuel intended for them from transit pipes and since many european countries demand a heavily on russian gas their concerns are obviously understandable but it seems that at the moment kiev doesn't seem to care that much. so as marina said they use very much involved in this gas standoff worrying for its own supplies the since the
1:03 am
beginning the rhetoric's intensified with kiev refusing to back down and there are plenty of warnings that russia's interests are at stake he wouldn't bring in now our teeth into glue joints in the studio to more so the main ramifications of all this i mean we've heard here that ukraine has been calling on europe to reduce its reliance on russian gas supplies is that possible at all well in fact it's one of the four major misconceptions in this entire gas rhetoric so this is number one and yes ukraine says europe's let go of russian gas not buying it but if you look at the map you'll understand that european dependency on russian gas is pretty heavy and in order to lead go russian gas entirely europe will have to get new pipelines and new terminals that cannot be built overnight on top of that if indeed it does happen then the gas prices are going to shoot up about fifty percent according to the world bank and that's something that's going to be a really hard sell to european customers first and foremost to ukraine says it can
1:04 am
find alternatives to russian gas supplies how likely is that well if you're talking about something that european leaders have been hyping up about for quite some time and that is the reverse flow that ukraine is supposedly getting from europe that it's conception number two it's a matter of fact because what's actually happening is that european europe is allowing ukraine to keep some of the gas that europe is getting from russia but of course there's a shortage of gas on the european side so they have to make up for that and they have to buy the more expensive gas so essentially what we have on our hands is the european customers taxpayers already paying an arm and a leg in order to make up for their leaders their political grandstanding. potential solution people have moved today anyways all the shale gas that's in america how could that help is that possible misconception number three and that is of course the expectation that americans share your interests. save the day simply not going to happen because it has to go all the way across the atlantic ocean
1:05 am
which is pretty big it's too expensive and right now the prices gas prices in europe are too little for that to happen and it would take about two million tankers to actually get there are still gas aircraft from the united states to europe and they only have four hundred thinkers at the moment so it looks good on paper but it's simply not a possibility in the forseeable future or right and so now in the long term that is able to happen russia would then lose a large market wouldn't the european market is huge for russia is that a big concern for russia finally the fourth of final misconception the doomsday scenario that russia to go down the drain without selling its gas could have been true until recently because now russia has this gas deal with china if you look here will see that the world consumption is about three trillion cubic meters of gas a year china alone is expected is projected to get to two billion cubic meters so
1:06 am
there is no shortage of appetite for russian gas in that regard thanks to china ok all right thanks for. your talking about the potential ramifications if no deal is reached well as well as locking horns over gas with russia kiev still waging a military campaign in ukraine's east later this hour ukrainian refugees talk about being driven from their homes as fighting between the army and local militia escalates. american police in some cities are being armed to the teeth with military hardware more suited to war zones but it's not because of some suburban security nightmare it is because there's tons of expensive gear left over from the foreign campaigns in this report are explained some of it is not even being used in the present and the pentagon don't want it gathering dust. as america continues winding down its longest streak of war soldiers are returning home and so is their military

arsenal a used armored vehicle that will be used during swat calls and other emergency situations nine foot tall mine resistant trucks specifically designed to survive roadside bomb attacks are parked all throughout the u.s. local and state police departments have acquired more than four hundred m. wraps and silencers and tens of thousands of m. sixteen machine guns and night vision equipment the new paradigm is it's the military paradigm militarized police and the problem with that is when they look at american citizens when they see only combatants this is all made possible through america's military transfer program created in the ninety's when violence and drug gangs plagued major cities today crime in the u.s. has fallen to its lowest in a generation and the special response team in richland county south carolina looks like this ready to take on the taliban should it invade the self this year the
1:08 am
thing that it's doing is basically just making it more and more obvious there are they are being watched her eyes are police forces are being turned into soldiers iraq war veteran emily yates says her country's law enforcement is being trained to fight against the public instead of serving to protect it they should be trained to deescalate any violence or aggression that's happening but instead the police are showing up and causing violence and aggression people are just afraid all the time and for no reason our country has never been invaded we have no foreign army at our doorstep however a sheriff in indiana claims his county needs m. wraps to protect against possible attacks by veterans returning from home i see a lot of her annoyance that her that i don't like it usually excuse to harm police like their. you know like the people of afghanistan and we got a problem using that as
1:09 am
a way to militarize the police for whatever they think might be coming in the future a future where america's local police forces will be prepared for war but who will they be warring against marina port r.t. and there are more than a few people who read the local police are getting say to a retired captain ray lewis sided with protestors off the offices pepper sprayed peaceful demonstrators at an occupy wall street running back to twenty eleven and he told us once police have more firepower a military crackdowns could become more brutal and have a. high caliber weapons are extremely dangerous they have a very high ricocheting velocity and that means that innocent people are going to get killed and injured they will be shot they can go through doors they can go through cinder block they can go through metal car doors and this type of velocity is not necessary think of kent state where they shot so many and killed so many
1:10 am
innocent people and they were not high caliber weapons can you imagine the massacre that would take place if officers had high caliber weapons they will sell this high equipment the repair the maintenance for this will come from taxpayers' money corporate america will make billions off its all for this equipment you heard of the prison industrial complex you heard of the military industrial complex corporate america now wants to make a lease industrial complex well they'll make billions off a police department's. well back among the world cup crowds in brazil in a few minutes time not everyone's got football favorite often the bright the protest and the posse and the planets biggest sporting event. but all told i'm a language of war but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from unlike the pollution from a no i will leave that to the state department to comment

1:16 am
justice because we have a long tradition that for justice to it's not enough for justice to be done it's got to be seen to be done this case was an extraordinary departure by initially allowing the whole of the case to be heard in secret at the heart of the debate around secret courts is this can nationalize security information ever be made public the government's stance there is no there are people who are saying that it's a dangerous precedent they are wrong it's neither dangerous nor a precedent as far as the precedent point is concerned the have been many trials in which part of the hearing has been held in secret for national security reasons house for being dangerous it's not dangerous because the judge will god the firmness of the trial done in public if a possible will for hundreds of years we've been able to have jurisprudence on cases that involve sensitive issues there are always ways in which the evidence can be presented that will protect for example surveillance or secret service

care about him as far as i understand it in the military they want to push people to break down their psychology and boot camp so they can make new better tougher more patriotic people and obedient ones as well the sort of cutesy who we can camp will not have any psychological effect these politicians and to be honest i think bureaucrats the world over have it too easy their lives are too comfortable heck all the duma deputies have these nice leather chairs and they have gold watches and assistants and all that stuff i think that if the duma deputies had to suffer through a military health for one month out of the year the corrupt comfort obsessed weaklings might get squeezed out of the system this training for the elite is a good idea but it needs to be done right and brutal but that's just my opinion.
