6:01 am
launches a massive door to door search for three jewish kids teenagers kidnapped in the west bank. overwhelmed welcome to you when live from moscow this is our team to the national straight to our top story this hour. ukraine has confirmed that supplies of russian gas have been cut off moscow has switched it to a payment scheme after the latest deadline expired for kids to pay some of his huge gas bills let's go live now to our it is maria costa she's outside gas problems headquarters in moscow marina any further comments coming out of that situation from the russian gas giant. well we've actually heard from the c.e.o. of gas from alexei miller and he's been meeting with russia's prime minister dmitry
6:02 am
medvedev and once again miller said that the ukraine's position is a form of blackmail we also know that ukraine's prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk has imposed the state of emergency on the country's energy sector and also miller said that in fact ukraine has announced that it will take as much it will use as much gas as it needs and it will take it for free now also when it comes to the latest a common sobrino that i gasp from said that if indeed the ukraine because we have heard that the head of nafta bows will be traveling to europe to try and seal deals on rivers deliveries and gas from has already said that if indeed they do that this would violate the terms of their call and try to now he have of course now has to pay up front if it wants any gas and from russia it is still owes a russia for him to have a billion dollars russia has been completely quite patient sell for a reasonable in fact be all for that if they gave a proposed to ukraine was described by many as a steal it would offer pay to them pay the money up front half of it right now and
6:03 am
then get a twenty percent discount on the rest of that that plus one hundred dollars off the contractual price per unit and that amount would be fixed for at least a year this way ukraine would actually be saving millions and millions of money now the price that russia was offering is three hundred eighty five a dollars per thousand cubic meters even the e.u. energy chief said that the price was reasonable but again when it comes to ukraine's prime minister sending out saluki doesn't want to pay any more than two hundred sixty five dollars and that is the price that was agreed with the previous leadership in ukraine before february's who so right now since both sides it can't agree on the price or take matters to the international court ukraine is accusing russia of playing political games russia is simply looking to get its money back now of course as we know many euro key and countries there dread. in the spirit right now because they don't want to see a repeat of what happened in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine and that's when ukraine was called siphoning off gas in time the for their troops
6:04 am
transit pipelines and since of course we know that many european countries depend heavily on russian gas their concerns are understandable but right now the ball is in kiev scored and already we know as i said that many european countries are worried that we will see ukraine siphoning gas off of them since they can't get their hands on the ball isn't here score that's. just outside gas problem giving us the latest of what's happening with that decision right to put you in the picture about what's being offered for the total amount of debt do you claim currently aries to russia exceeds four billion dollars and what russia requested when it said it's lost a deal deadline is received how that money but in even if you create faces the taps being turned off soon moscow says europe shouldn't be at risk and that its supplies i carrying on as planned brussels there is a warning that if you crane doesn't fill its gas storage by winter there may be
6:05 am
disruptions in the supply to europe the editor in chief of business a new europe says the main question now is whether you crane will start helping itself to feel that in transit. russia has always been a reliable supplier of gas to europe even in the cold war when we really were enemies with then the soviet union that the soviet union continued to deliver gas the problem here with you know the insecurity and russian gas supplies it's not russia it's 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 when it needs gas it simply 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 and not take any for itself and that question remains open. the e.u. is very much involved in this gas standoff between moscow and kiev worrying for its
6:06 am
only supplies since the beginning the rhetoric intensified with cuba refusing to back down and there are plenty of warnings said russia's interests are at stake too let's bring in our g.'s to look closer at the main ramifications irina all the euro europe's fears justified if ukraine starts stiffening the gas can the rest of europe go without russia gas well actually it's one of the four major misconceptions in this whole gas narrative i would say that's number one is a matter of fact we can look at the map right here and we'll see that the dark blue countries are the ones that get seventy five percent of all the gas that they have from russia and of course as it gets lighter the lesser percentage of gas is coming from russia nevertheless in order for europe to do away with russian gas completely they will have to build new pipelines and new terminals that will be too costly
6:07 am
it's not going to happen overnight and even if it does still according to world bank the countries will have to end up being fifty percent more on its gas and they're paying right now so that's going to be a really hard sell to make to the taxpayers living in europe now ukraine's officials have said that they can get they can find out turning to the question is can they really well in this consumption misconception number two as a matter of fact because what they're doing at this point is that the leaders in europe are talking about this. they're supposed to reverse the flow of gas from for from russia to europe but what really is happening is that european countries are buying their gas from russia and as it goes to europe through ukraine they're just allowing ukraine to keep part of that gas now of course it means that part of the gas that was supposed to come to europe is missing. no the european countries have to make up for it and it also means they have to get it on the
6:08 am
market for a greater price which means that the european taxpayers again are paying more for their leaders political grandstand and now there's been whispers that american shale gas could possibly replace russia supplies how likely is the scenario scenario again this is a misconception number three or three. again of course we've heard about the shale gas being the. savior all kind of the panache for the situation but that is simply not the case at the moment because of course it's no secret that the us are dreaming about selling their show gas to europe at the moment and unfortunately they will have to ship it across the atlantic ocean to europe and that is going to be first of all very costly and secondly it's going to take a very long time. we're talking about roughly two million tanker troops each year and at the moment there are only four hundred tankers in existence so obviously
6:09 am
that is just the tip of the iceberg of the problem with with american shale gas so it doesn't seem like it's going to happen in the foreseeable future. a lot of misconception is lost in translation but let me ask you this what happens to russia then if they do see the e.u. market one day be losing out as well well it would have been the of course the fourth and final misconception in this case because it would have been true until the very recent deal that russia has struck with china and because of that deal we could be looking at the fact that the world gets through about three trillion cubic meters of gas a year china however is projected to start consuming two trillion so there's certainly no shortage of appetite for russian gas especially now that we finally got a gas deal in place with china. breaking down of those misconceptions then here say well we'll be looking closely to this of course the unfolding story as it unravels . but as well as locking homes over gas with russia killed still waging

6:18 am
clearly to blame it says 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 hamas has said the israeli accusations are silly the three teenagers were kidnapped on tuesday 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 feeding the repercussions of this heavy handedness on the
