russia's gas problem has stopped a guest surprise to you crane after a killer failed to pay a part of its huge debt by the final deadline artist marina kosovar reports from outside the guest joins headquarters in moscow. well we've actually heard from the c.e.o. of gas from alexei miller and he's good meeting with russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev and once again miller said that to ukraine's position is a form of blackmail. the position of the ukrainian side can be described as open blackmail the ukrainian government the prime minister wanted gazprom to allow ukraine to pay an ultra low price for gas like those in the customs union and if such of the prices were not granted to kiev in ukraine said it would not pay back its gas that to russia it also said it would take gas without any payment and in volumes that meet this of course such demands are unacceptable for the russian side that's why gas problem and to the prepayment method ten am this morning we also
11:03 am
know that ukraine's prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk has imposed a state of emergency on the country's energy sector of course now has to pay up front if it wants any gas so from russia now the price that russia was offering is three hundred eighty five 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 he doesn't want to pay any more than the price that was agreed with the previous leadership in ukraine before february's so right now since both sides are can't agree on the price or take matters to the international court ukraine is accusing russia of playing political games or russia simply looking to get its money back now of course as we know many euro kitty and countries they're dreading this period 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 and time that for them through its transit pipelines and sings of course we know that many european countries depend
11:04 am
heavily on russian gas their concerns are on the stand but right now the ball is in kiev supports 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 more. well to summarize the facts for you ukraine so far is russia more than four billion dollars what russia demanded when it set its final deadline was that it received at least a half of the money moscow has stressed that it will continue supplying europe before ukraine has also been demanding that moscow cut the price and guess the prize the e.u. has called gas for its final offer of three hundred eighty five dollars per thousand cubic meters a reasonable proposal and as you can see that number is low watt than the estimates of what many e.u. countries pay for russian gas and he has all the gas pipelines go from russia to
11:05 am
the e.u. the majority goes through ukraine's territory despite assurances from moscow that supplies to europe one suffer gas problem says that kiev has threatened that it will take as much on the gas as it needs for free which it has done before and ukraine's prime minister to say me yet yes a new car has ordered a review of the transit fees for russia's gets a pricey euro and the editor in chief of business news europe says this is all leaving brussels warned russia has always been a reliable supplier of gas to europe even in the cold war when we were enemies with then the soviet union. the soviet union continued to deliver gas the problem here with you know the insecurity in russian gas supplies is 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 of gas that
11:06 am
was headed to the west now russia will do if they do stop supplying ukraine gas they will continue to supply what their contractual we applied to send to western europe the question here is whether ukraine will simply send that gas or not take any for itself and the question remains open. as well as locking horns over gas so with russia kill still waging a military campaign in ukraine's the eastern near the city of slovyansk one of the places hardest hit by the military operation journalists have come under fire a correspondent from our video agency who was among them here's what he told us actually. although we were walking through a field 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 purchase we jumped in we were driving fast and then another shot right through our tires and we were driving just the bare wheel for the rest of our journey which thank god we were alive when we made it. the crew was filming

a coma and has left hospital that's according to his family they say he will continue his rehabilitation at another location the forty five year old racing star suffered a severe head injury while skiing in the french alps last december after skep to me in a medically induced coma to help reduce swelling in the brain. now the prospect of the u.k.'s first secret trial of two suspected terrorists in the name of national security has had defenders of the british justice system up in arms but last week an appeals court lashed the red light to the plan questions still remain though some of the main proceedings will be kept behind closed doors anyway artists are for it explains. the trial of the key terror suspects was always the first fully secret criminal trial to be heard in the u.k. now prosecutors had been fishing for that the press to be banned from every part of
11:23 am
the proceedings on the grounds of national security now the course of appeal blocked that last week so what can now be reported the judge's introductory remarks the prosecutor's opening speech and the verdicts and sentencing phase can all be reported but the course of appeal also ruled that the core parts of this terrorism trial will still be heard in secret and we can take a listen now as to why the details of how this terror trial should be heard have proven so controversial 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. g. to not pick a shim 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
11:24 am
completely secret criminal trial in the u.k. the judge is saying that the core of the terrorism 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 firm part of the british legal system only partial victory. going to be held in secret the important issue here is the very issue of open justice because we have a long tradition that just has to it's not enough for justice to be done it's got to be seen to be done in 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 cool. if this can nationalize security information ever be made public the government sounds a is no there are people who are saying that it's a dangerous precedent they are wrong it's neither dangerous nor
11:25 am
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 guard the fairness of the trial done in public if at all possible well 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 need to go to the 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 decides there will be released in a down this in this instance the cool cheese not to go as a police secret trial the concern now is that with more applications that day went be far off the surface r.t.
