hello there welcome you watching r.t. international with me andrew farmer i'm start with breaking news russia is cutting off gas supplies for ukraine after the latest deadline expired fakih have to pay some of its he has go live now to marine corps sort of a who's outside gazprom his headquarters in moscow so no more russian gas for ukraine until it starts paying some money. absolutely andrew kiev now has to pay in advance for any gas it needs from russia and in fact gas from spokesperson said get out of confirmed that's a journalist of course had the many questions as to what will happen in the future but he said that those questions will be answered in about three hours from now by the head of gas from let's listen to what he had to say. look we've said many times that today is the deadline when the debt has to be paid and since it's not starting today ukraine's now after gasoline is getting supplies according to

payment you should receive zero payments which means they'll be zero she might disagree. just now let's not forget that russia has been quite patient considering the amount of money it sold we're talking about for him to have billion dollars tried to make a deal it was quite reasonable and many have in fact called the deal is steal it all for it for ukraine's pay half of its that now then get a twenty percent discount on the remainder of the dead plus one hundred dollars off the contractual price a pro units and that amount would be fixed for at least a year this way ukraine would actually be saving millions of dollars because i said russia tried to be reasonable and then again even the e.u. energy chief said that the price that was off with their reduced three hundred ninety five dollars per thousand cubic meters the energy chief said it was reasonable bazza the ukraine's prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk doesn't want to pay anything more than two hundred sixty five dollars and that was actually the price

that was agreed upon with ukraine's previous leadership before february scoop now there was another proposal from the e.u. energy chief and that involved su prices so in the winter months ukraine would pay three hundred eighty five dollars and in the summer three hundred dollars bonds ukraine but russia wasn't actually satisfied with that all first saw now both sides will be taking matters to the international court you can. rain accusing russia of political game playing and russia seeking to get its debt repaid of course many european countries are worried now because they don't want to see a repeat of two thousand and six and two thousand and nine that's when ukraine will start siphoning gas intended for them from their transit pipelines and since many european countries are heavily dependent on russian gas it's natural why they're concerned but it seems that right now. to be stubborn and doesn't seem to care that much about what happens later but of course we'll be waiting to hear what i like say miller gas palmer has to say in

a couple of hours sure ok thanks we'll leave it there. outside the headquarters in moscow where to talk more on the gas route and how it could be resolved let's go live to our political analyst william angle who joins us thanks very much for coming on to the program we're hearing here now ben that russia is saying to you crying you know if you don't give us some money you don't get the gas she think this will be enough to push kiev to pay off its debt i think that. election miller could stand on their hands and nickels till the cows come home and it wouldn't change the situation and you know the reason i say that is because the policy in cuba is dictated by washington and by nato and not by the national interest of ukraine and this is this is the achilles heel of russia right now in terms or one of them but a major one. flows from gas. through ukraine to the e.u.

and ukraine itself but the main thing is the transit through ukraine to the e.u. so this is one reason why ukraine was targeted by nato by victoria nuland and the neo cons in washington to weaken russia to weaken putin and i think the negotiating tactics of the ukrainian government in kiev. are simply designed to make someone crazy in moscow you appear to compromise you appeared to be reasonable when suddenly everything collapses or a single has a meeting with putin and says we're going to we're going to end the fighting in eastern ukraine the next day he orders bombing of civilians so this is the kind of psyops warfare that's going on now it has nothing to do with ukrainian national interest this has to do with a nato gladio opic government that designed to. essentially make putin go crazy and

i. don't think that's succeeding but let's hope not but it certainly appears to meant that negotiations have hit a brick wall but the e.u. continues to say it's optimistic that some sort of deal could be it could be reached the shed at all to miss and could the e.u. is not their hands are not clean on this whole ukrainian issue the e.u. has tried a couple times feebly. twenty first was a stunning example and one day later the whole thing collapsed and the e.u. . and other governments that tried to compromise like little lame puppy dogs were lined up behind washington and supported a neo nazi regime the first since world war two in. any country in the world but. to my knowledge so the e.u. is not playing with an honest deck of cards the e.u. is making very sly objects on this but the politics are not being dictated in

brussels or in berlin it's being dictated out of washington and that's the alarming thing about all of this that said europe is still set to suffer isn't it as a result of no negotiation being achieved between russia and ukraine. yes yes well this is this is not a simple energy business negotiation this is war and through economic means and other means i know people don't quite get it this is this is really serious credited to world war three that certain factions in the west very very powerful very rich people say we need to go back to the cold war or even a good old or two out of situation where we really have are we're losing it everywhere so we have to take drastic means and i mean that's what's going on that they are very vocal statements to make you think russia is to blame and to within this in particular this this gas deal no no russia is bent over backwards i'm astonished at the degree of willingness to compromise that the russian government.

problem shown in this you know she no they're not all to blame on syria quite the opposite their their old four and a half billion dollars since this in february or even before the. patient even offered very generous terms of repayment of that. they're not to my ok thank you mr angle we have to leave it that it's william angle a political analyst thank you. what as well as ramifications for ukraine europe could also suffer as we said a bit cabs refusal to pay its way it is being argued that russia's interests are at stake today william discussed the consequences for all parties with every nickel a scam. i mean we've heard here that ukraine has been calling on europe to reduce its reliance on russian gas supplies is that possible to well is in fact it's one of the four major misconceptions in this entire gas rhetoric so this is no one gets

really says let go of russian gas not lie in 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 is indeed it does help in 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 find alternatives to russian gas supplies how likely is that well if you're talking about something that the 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 conception number two it's a matter of fact 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 the 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 are going to save the day simply not going to happen because it has to go all the way across the atlantic ocean which is pretty big. too expensive and right now the price is gas prices in europe were too low for that to happen and it would take about two million tankers to actually get the still gas there cross 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 all right and so in the long term that is able to happen russia would then lose a large market 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 the gas deal with china the world consumption is about three trillion cubic meters of gas a year china alone is projected to get to two trillion so there is no shortage of appetite for russian gas in that regard thanks tony. now as well as locking horns over gas with russia kiev still waging a military campaign in ukraine's eighth 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's because the tons of expensive gear left over from lengthy foreign campaigns and is important explain some of it

has not even been used in the president in the pentagon don't want to 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 in the military paradigm militarized police and the problem with that is when they look at american service the often they see enemy combatants this is only 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 thing that it's doing is basically just making it more and more obvious that 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 gresham that's happening but instead the police are show. violence and aggression people are just afraid all the time and for no reason our country has never been invaded we have no foreign armies 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 paranoia about that because i don't like it usually excuse the armed police like they're going to you know like the people of afghanistan that we've got a problem using that as 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 r.t. . and even former police chiefs are wary of local offices getting said to a retired captain ray lewis side to protest is the offices put this right place where demonstrates is that an occupy wall street rally back in twenty seven and he told us that once police have more fire power and military gas crackdowns could become more brutal and that. 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 innocent people and they were not high caliber weapons can you imagine a massacre that would take place at full force or had high caliber weapons they will sell this high quitman the repairing 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 paula lease industrial complex well they'll make billions off a police department's we've got more news coming your way after a short break including a looming referendum in scotland on whether to break away from great britain stipends.

please. this is a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motions to the other part of the physical. issues that no one is asking with the guests that deserve answers from. politic. dramas the. stories others through a few in the. third says change. the picture. from around the globe.

hello again our journalists have come under fire near slavyansk in east ukraine where kiev's army is pressing on with its military operation against the defiant region a correspondent for marty's group review agency was among them he told us what happened. although we were walking through fields when we heard a machine gun we dived down i kept on filming the self defense member who was our guide called for backup and a car came to pick us we jumped in we were driving fast and then another shot ripped through our tire and we were driving just the bare wheel for the rest of our journey we thank god well we're alive when one made it. all the crew was filming a report about the allegations of phosphorus bombs being used by the ukrainian army

they are designed to cause large fires and their use is strictly prohibited by the u.n. another two journalists working for russian t.v. have been held by ukraine's security forces since saturday meanwhile thousands of people are having to abandon their homes in the east g to the violence that have has been hearing about their ordeals. the refugees have certainly had itself in the last few weeks but for some the burden of displacement turned out to be much heavier than for others kids with physical impairments and their mothers were left to fight for themselves in the shellshocked east of ukraine alexei was born with a very rare condition and has never seen the light of day his mother you didn't think twice when she was told this so-called antiterrorist operation was approaching her town near the guns she's all settled in here now in the safety of souter in russia but it did take some time for alexei to get used to the uniform and he and we knew going to chelsea screamed

a lot of us because the air quality is different here's how he got his to the conditions up to three or four days and they are not the only family who felt the safety and medical treatments of their disabled loved ones could not be provided for at home vitale fled from our to school with his aunt chased away by the daily aerial attacks by the ukrainian military they were told their town will soon be swept by the army they had to leave behind their entire family lives swimmable you all i want is for my mom to come here right here that's all i need. and that's yana has two kids of her own and help the self-defense forces at home by cooking and delivering meals she says she would never have left ukraine if it wasn't for that sally post on your first he's very scared he always asks his grandmother i think going to shoot me i think going to kill me due to his condition he can't express emotions very well but sometimes he just screams very loudly the families are now

away from the bloody violence and in the safety of this summer retreat turned into refugee camp however there is no place like home they say hoping for peace to be able to return to their abandoned houses from on calls or artsy southern russia and i forget you can get minute by minute coverage. all the elements in ukraine's crisis on air but also online at r.t. dot com. the divide among the people of scotland over the independence referendum is closer than ever a survey even shows that half of families are torn among themselves about which way to vote in september pro independence campaigner jonathan shafi believes a yes vote is badly needed to bring much needed change to for what it's worth this is a vassal states for the 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 there with the economy in britain has been one 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 well the neck and that poll results mean that both pro and anti independence campaigners have their work cut out over the next three months as scotland sold euro m.p. told r.t. sophie shevardnadze that his fellow scots shouldn't be misled by what the separatist politicians play we have got three hundred year old alive scotland has a three hundred year old lives with england which is benefit both countries and enable both of us to punch above our weight on the world stage mr samad is not offering independence either way mr salmon who is the leader of the scottish national party of us members gobble offering a rule from brussels because we want to remain part of the european union he wants to offer rule from brussels and financial rule from frankfurt that's not independent.

football's finest are battling it out in brazil at the moment and it seems to get ahead you need to fight the french warplanes it's training sessions have been watched by a spy drone at r.t. dot com you can find out whether it's down to rivals handywork or devoted fan at the controls also online inventing terrorists with entrapment muslim groups in the u.s. accuse the f.b.i. of setting up innocent people to justify a controversial arrest program you can read about that at r.t. dot com. protecting national security is a reason often rolled out to justify governments keeping quiet about some of their more shady activities but in britain it now goes to the very heart of open and fair

justice waving aside the right to an open court hearing the country's been trying to sneak through its first secret criminal trial the sarah furthur ports. these are the names of the t. defendants in the terrorism case until last week they've been known only by the initials a b. and c d g twenty application from prosecutors to ban the press and public from proceedings on the grounds of protecting national security the whole case was close to being completely in secret well the course of the pill blocks that attempt to hold the first ever completely secret criminal trial in the u.k. the judge is saying that the call of the terrors the trial could be heard in secret but the other parts must be public but campaign is the worried that despite the ruling this case marks yet another step toward secret courts becoming a therm part of the british legal system only partial victory large parts of the

trial is still going to be held in secret the important issue here is the very issue of open justice because we have a long tradition that the 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 doing to us nor the 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 top possible 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 operations there's no. nido to bar the press from it whatsoever if we don't know what's going on what's being reported it could easily lead to an increase in miscarriages of justice ultimately it is the judges that this side there will be released no doubt this is this is dence the cool cheese not to go as far as a police secret trial the concern now is that with more applications that day won't be far off the surface r.t. reporting from london. a reminder of our breaking news here on r.t. international russia's gazprom has announced that moscow is cutting off gas supplies for ukraine after the deadline set for kiev to start paying its debt expired russia was expecting to receive one point nine billion dollars by six am g.m.t. which is about a half of the total amount of money owed by ukraine since november the you says

it's still convinced the gastro between moscow and kiev can be settled soon when europe is at risk because it's hugely reliant on russian supplies by ukraine which has previously siphoned off fuel when it's being cut off for not pay. up next on compromising the bank with house pay to live in cross talk but if you're watching us in the u.k. victims of domestic violence speak out about trying to rebuild their lives. some people say that when it happens to someone in time not a very nice one the curtain falls down. it's some point and i could no longer stand it i decided to kill myself. even i was scared of what i'd done but i punched but i didn't understand where i could be when i man raising his hand the

woman should. run from him. i ask everyone who sees this video to also speak to the children's father. my has then became a controllable she felt that he could do anything and. why you're crying don't cry i know i'm tired of crying too don't cry than. engineers but you journalists vulgarize ation of darwin science and punishment for an on committed crime i was sterilized to learn for being innately feeble minded still today for the few i don't know why his lawyer leaves but i still don't know why genetic improvement through forced sterilization the basis for nazi ideology don't stop at just sterilizing yet their own stand now go to the point of

death. for years rarely discussed on till now i'd really rather not talk about that right. right to see. first strike. and i think. for. the.

following welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle debating american foreign policy is there one any more traditionally the political left and right had clearly different positions on how washington should exert power in the world today it appears everyone in the establishment is a hawk. to cross talk american foreign policy i'm joined by my guest james carafano in washington he's the heritage foundation's vice president as well as a leading expert in national security and foreign policy challenges and in philadelphia we cross to walter he is an independent scholar and freelance journalist as well as a former senior executive at the department of defense or a gentleman cross-talk roles in fact that means you can jump in in any time you want and i very much encourage you james let me if i go to you first in washington it used to be there was a left right division on looking at foreign policy.
