breaking news ukraine must now pay upfront for its russian gas after kiev missed their last and final deadline to pay its debt gazprom says europe's supplies continue as planned. america's called up police patrols as the pentagon hands out his hardware leftovers we ask where their offices really need military grade gear. and the palestinian parliament speaker is among the dozens arrested by the israeli military in the west bank after the kidnapping of three teenagers there sparked a massive door to door search. for

the wealthy are watching r.t. international. now russia house which ukraine to a pre-payment scheme for its gas after the latest deadline expired fakih have to pay some of its huge gas bills are reports now from outside gazprom his headquarters in moscow. we have now has to pay in advance for any gas it needs from russia and in fact gas from spokesperson said confirm that. 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 gas and is getting supplies according to payments you should receive zero payments which means they'll be zero . gas from a spokesperson said agapit brianna also added disruptions in the supply of gas from russia to its european partners we continue asked wind farms it's up to ukraine to

make sure that gas is supplied to its european partners now let's not forget that russia has been quite patient considering the amount of money it sold we're talking about for now have billion dollars it all for it for ukraine's pay half of it's that now then get a twenty percent discount on the remainder of the debt plus one hundred dollars off the contractual price of per unit and that amount would be fixed for at least a year this way ukraine would actually be saving millions of dollars and even the e.u. energy chief said that the price that will sell for the reduced three hundred ninety five dollars per thousand cubic meters the energy chief said it was reasonable to 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 to now there was another proposal from the e.u. energy chief and that involves su prices so in the winter months ukraine would pay three hundred eighty five dollars and in the summer three hundred dollars bonds

russia wasn't actually satisfied with that all first saw and now both sides will be taking matters to the international court ukraine accusing russia of political game playing and russia's seeking to get its debts repaid of course many european countries are warriors now because they don't want to see a repeat of what happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine in the us when ukraine will scald. siphoning off gas intended for european countries through their transit pipes and because we know that many european countries are heavily dependent to reliance on russian gas that's why they're so concerned but of course we're talking about stubbornness here and it really is up to them not to resolve this issue. or to put you in the picture about what's being asked for the total amount of debt ukraine currently owes to russia exceeds four billion dollars somewhat russia requested when it's set its last deadline was to receive half of that money but even if ukraine faces the taps being turned off soon moscow says europe shouldn't be at risk and that it supplies are carrying on as planned. well

to talk more on the gas travel to russia and ukraine and it ramifications let's go live now to ben areas he's the editor of business news europe look thank you very much for coming on to the program firstly gazprom has given assurance that europe will still get its gas that goes through ukraine let's start first by listening to that statement that gave this morning. because of putting as much the amount of gas for european consumers is being supplied in full compliance with those contracts a new cranes nafta gatt is obliged to guarantee deliveries without disruption according to the transit contract goes up and you think you're a pain supplies are at risk because he mentioned there ukraine is obliged to fulfill its trend obligations but in the past it's been accused of siphoning off gas which has affected supplies to europe but i said before always being a reliable supplier to europe even in the cold war when we really were enemies with

them the soviet union. the soviet union continued to live in the problem here with the security and russian gas supplies as well russia is the fact that it has to go through ukraine and ukraine is more or less bankrupt has been unable to pay for its gas and so. siphons off gas that was headed to the west now what russia will do if they do stop supplying ukraine gas they will continue to supply what they're contractually obliged to send to western europe the question here is whether ukraine will simply send that gas on and not take any for itself and that question remains open i mean happily this whole ra is happening in the summer and so therefore the demand for gas in western europe is extremely low moreover in the soviet union times they built all of the gas storage or maybe all the gas storage facilities in ukraine and those are now a full and so there's plenty of gas both for ukraine and western europe so i think for the time being we won't see any disruptions in supplies with regard to ukraine

itself the prime minister there earlier ordered his government prepare for a supply what sort of steps could ukraine type to minimize the damage. well as i said they have. in storage solution ukraine solution to the gas problem is going to take a long time it's the most wasteful user of energy in all of your. domestic gas resources i mean it produces already about twenty thousand cubic meters year and put out against about fifty thousand that needs all together and it could develop those in shale deposits to significant basins but this is the point that the last decade and a half has been totally wasted need the orange government or the blue government have done anything in the way of reforming gas and making it more energy uses more efficient nor has it done anything to develop the resources that it has at home and so it's ended up you know being totally reliant on the russian gas for about three

quarters of its surprise and now it's come to the you know come down to the wire and they're trying to solve the problem by asking for cheaper gas when they should have been doing more to find alternative forms of energy and making better use of the gas that they do have ok then we have to leave it there but thank you very much to give. it's your opinion editor of business news europe ben irish thank you. very much involved in this gas standoff between moscow and kiev worrying for its own supplies as we mentioned this is the beginning the rhetoric has intensified with kiev refusing to back down and there are plenty of warnings that russia's interests are at stake too let's bring in. close tonight at the main ramifications arena do you feel. europe's concerns and is fears it justified if ukraine does start siphoning off the gas well in this whole gas rhetoric there are about four major misconceptions that we should explore and this is the first

one and basically if we look at the map and there should be one which shows just how dependent. on russian gas will see that in order to completely cast away russian gas that europe will have to build new pipelines and you terminals that's simply up there it is that is going to be simply too expensive and it's not going to happen overnight moreover if that indeed does suddenly happen then according to world bank the gas rates for gas will jump up by about fifty percent and that's going to be a really hard sell to taxpayers in europe ukraine is that it can find alternatives is that a fair statement and other misconception and that is if they're talking about what the european leaders have been speaking about the length as of late if we're talking about the reverse in the pipeline pipeline flow back to ukraine that is actually not what's happening what is happening is that the gas that is europe is receiving from russia. actually is staying some of it is staying in ukraine because

europe is allowing it to stay there but it means that there is a shortage in europe and it means that europe is making up for that shortage of russian gas by buying more expensive gas and that again leaves their taxpayers out in the cold literally and figuratively speaking another option is being discussed. does the help of america because that has a huge amount of shale gas can that help the situation again mistake number three shale gas obviously has been. sort of this see here the america is expected to bring in the shale gas and save the picture but unfortunately or fortunately for the united states that is simply not the that is simply not the reality of the situation first of all. you will have to cross the atlantic ocean which is pretty big. and also there is going the shipping costs are just way too high so we'll have they will have to justify their shipping costs they also have only four hundred tankers so nearly not enough to actually go ahead and make this fantasy

a reality at least not in the forseeable future or what about in the long term because if it does happen russia would lose a sizable market wouldn't again this is the fourth and final misconception until recently could have been true but now russia has to deal with china that is just doesn't seem to be a probability really because if you look at the world consumption of gas it's about three trillion cubic metres a year about china alone is projected to consume two trillion two billion a year so really there is no shortage for. there's no shortage of demand for russian gas as it stands right now ok thanks to. putting us in the picture. now as well as locking horns over gas with russia here still waging a military campaign in ukraine's east cities one of those hardest hit by the military operation journalists have come under fire

a correspondent for marty's roughly video agency was among them and he told us what happened. although we were walking through fields when we heard a machine gun we dived down i kept on filming resolve the 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 to bear will for the rest of our journey we thank god but we're alive when one made it. 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 a crane security forces since saturday meanwhile thousands of people are having to abandon their homes in the east due to the violence. and don't forget you can get minute by minute coverage of all the elements in ukraine's crisis on there but of

course also online at r.t. dot com. 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 actually because there's tons of expensive gear left over from lengthy foreign campaigns in this report are explained some of it has 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 warm 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 is a new paradigm is it's the military paradigm militarized police and the problem with that is when they look at american sort of golf when they see me 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 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 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 her annoy about that because i don't like it usually excuse the armed police like they're. you know like the people of afghanistan that we've got a problem but using that as a way to militarize the police or 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 so you. can't and regularly side of the protest is this is pepper spray peaceful demonstrators at an occupy wall street money back in twenty eleven he actually told us once police have

more firepower a mission that crackdowns could become moved through and out of. 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 had high caliber weapons they will sell this high equipment the repair the maintenance for this will come from tax payers 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 puddle lease industrial complex well they'll make billions off of police departments. now it seems the skull fracture even the split on whether to quit the u.k. or no it's even causing. them selves according to the latest research i will bring you the spectrum from five count right. well told you my language is full but i will only react to situations i have read the reports from. the pollution and no i will leave that to the state department to comment on your plan. to secure the car as i'm going to talk you know. thank you no more weasel. when you direct question the proof for a change when you. get ready for. freedom of speech. and

the freedom to walk. dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. places change the world rights now. full picture. from around the globe. broke to. welcome by now israel's military has arrested a further forty palestinians in the west bank in connection with the abduction of three jewish teenagers the palestinian parliament speakers among most attained i

will go live now to television our correspondent there paula slay who can tell us more paula how is the search progressing for those missing youngsters. well as you say in the early hours of this morning more than forty palestinians were detained bringing to more than one hundred fifty the number of palestinians who have been arrested including the spokesperson of the palestinian parliament now this comes as the israeli army launches a massive manhunt this has resulted in the closure of several palestinian cities and also in house to house searches and it was during one of those searches that overnight a nineteen year old palestinian was shot dead during clashes in the palestinian city of ramallah now the israeli government says that the hamas militant group is clearly to blame it says that despite the fact that the organization has not taken responsibility and let's remember that this is an organization that in the past has clearly stated when it is responsible for attacks and for kidnappings in fact a massive said the israeli accusations are silly the three teenagers were kidnapped

on thursday night while they were hitchhiking home after religious studies the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has vowed that he will do everything in his power to bring them back safely he also points the blame at the palestinian president mahmoud abbas saying he needs to shoulder responsibility particularly in light of the recent palestinian unity government that was formed this unity government is something that the israeli prime minister has criticized repeatedly saying that it is an opportunity that hamas is trying to use to gain a food a stronghold in the west bank as is always the case of course it is the ordinary palestinians who are feeling the repercussions of this heavy handedness on the israeli response side you have border closures you have an increased israeli military presence now in the palestinian territories and the mood on the ground of course is that no one is certain how long this will continue for. ok thank you paula paula slayer live from tel aviv.

football's finest are battling it out in brazil at the moment it seems to get ahead you need to hike plenty of it to the french quarter planes 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 a devoted fan at the controls also online inventing terrorist entrapment muslim groups in the u.s. accuse the f.b.i. of setting up innocent people to justify a controversial arrest. the divide among the people of scotland over the independent referendum is closer than ever a survey even shows that half of families are torn among themselves about which way to vote in september independence campaigner jonathan shafi believes that a yes vote is badly needed to bring much needed change to for what it's worth as 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 is being run just know is leading towards massive inequality on a historic scale and i think the real question is can we afford not to vote yes in september the neck and neck poll results mean both pro and anti independence campaigners have their work cut out over the next three months scotland so we pay told r.t. sophie shevardnadze but his fellow scots shouldn't be misled by what the separatist politicians. we have a three hundred year old alliance 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 salmond is not offering independence either way mr salmon who is the leader of the scottish national party of us missouri's governor offering a rule from brussels because we want to remain part of the european union it wants to offer a rule from brussels and financial rule from frankfurt that's not independence.

let's have a quick look at some other news now a sunni militants in north of iraq have captured the populated city of tal afar close to the syrian border at least five people have been killed and another thirty five wounded is the latest blow to the nation's shiite led government a week after it lost a vast swathes of territory in the country's north behind it are the radical militant group known as isis which has been rampaging through the area season key cities and advancing on baghdad the number of deaths from in the midst rampage in a coastal resort in southeast kenya has now risen to forty eight and identified gunmen shot at people in a drive by attack as well as torching hotels and

put out the blades. 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 leaving aside the right to an open court hearing the country's been trying to sneak through its first secret criminal trial the sarah for paul. these are the names of the t. defendants in the terrorism case until last week they'd been known only by the initials a b. and c d t 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 court of appeal blocks that attempt to hold the first ever completely secret criminal trial in the u.k. the judge is saying that the core of the terrorist trial could be heard in secret

but that 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 that roast are going to be held in secret the important issue here is the very issue of open 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 as for being dangerous it's not dangerous because the judge will god the firmness of the trial down in public if a top 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 operations there's no. neither to 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 saeed there will be released no doubt this in this instance the cool change is not to get as far as a thirty secret trial the concern now is that with more applications that day went before. the surf. reporting from london. coming up next here not international we speak to scotland's only e.u.
