r.t. to your facebook. this is art international tonight ukraine stops receiving russian gas after missing the latest and final deadline to start paying its multibillion dollar debt. is that supplies to europe will continue as. promised says kiev's threatening to take as much gas as it needs for free from the transit pipeline supplying russian gas to the e.u. . fresh fears of a mounting police threat has stirred up in america but revelations that offices are being armed with weapons from war zones despite a low crime rate and. the young palestinians killed during clashes with israeli troops amid a massive door to door for three jewish teenagers kidnapped in the west bank.

kevin though in a very good evening to you who just joined us first this hour goddess rushes guys from stops gas supplies to ukraine after fail to pay a part of its huge debt by the final deadline is going to cost of a report in from outside the gas giants headquarters here in moscow well we've actually heard from the c.e.o. of gas from alexei miller to meeting with russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev and once again miller said that the train'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 low prices were not granted to kiev ukraine said it would not pay back its gas that to russia it also said it would take our gas without any payment and in volumes it needs of course such demands are unacceptable for the russian side that's why gas problem and to the prepayment method at ten am this morning we also know that ukraine's prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk has imposed a state of emergency on the country's energy sector here 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 siniora he doesn't want to pay any more than the price there 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 intended for them through its 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 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. monoculture over the so them to summarize the facts so far ukraine so far owes russia more than four billion dollars what russia demanded when it set its final deadline was it received at least hauffe of the money moscow stressed that it will continue supplying europe as before ukraine has been demanding that moscow cut the price of gas supplies the e.u. has called gazprom final offer of three hundred eighty five dollars per. thousand

cubic meters a reasonable proposal as you can see that number is lower indeed than the estimates of what many e.u. countries pay for russian gas. this map shows you how the gas pipelines go from russia to the e.u. the majority does go through ukraine's territory despite assurances from moscow that supplies to europe won't suffer gazprom says that kiev has threatened that it will take as much transit gas as it needs for free which it has done before as we've just heard twice and ukraine's prime minister gets a new york has ordered a review of the transit fees two for russia's gas supplies to europe dr richard wellings from the institute of economic affairs in london told me all this could bring about severe consequences for brussels. ukraine's got to approximately five months of gas in storage now that it hasn't paid for and obviously this is going to be hugely wary european union countries be used torn in two directions it has this enormous trade with russia it doesn't want to damage that too much with the same time it's under pressure from washington to be take a harder line on the ukraine crisis against russian of course that's going to be

damaging to the economy is the point is we've already seen very significant hike in the oil price because of events in iraq if we also had a hike in the gas price because of the ukraine crisis then you could face them enormous difficulties particularly those countries in southern europe where both rely on energy imports and also are in deep economic trouble is really quite a vulnerable position and of course things are going to change in a few months time once winter back in summer will really focus people's minds on getting a deal for you and other developments there's been another attempt to attack a russian diplomatic compound in ukraine this time in the port city of odessa you see a crowd to demonstrate is trying to get through to the russian consulate building they were stopped by the police there were mastered hooded people in the crowd. chanting anti russian slogans and calling for the russian flag to be torn down police arrested a group of protesters who were carrying explosives comes just days after the russian embassy in kiev are lies. well it was locking horns over gas with russia

kiev still waging a military campaign in ukraine's east two near the city of slavyansk one of the places hardest hit by the military operation is ongoing journalists who come under fire as well a correspondent for marty's roughly video agency was among them you told us what happened. on this one 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 tires and we were driving just the bare wheel for the rest of our journey we thank god but we're alive when we made it worse for the crew was filming a report about the allegations of phosphorus bombs being used by the ukrainian army they're designed to cause large fires and they use is strictly prohibited by the u.n. and other two journalists meantime working for russian t.v. have been released and the pair were held by ukraine security forces since saturday

meantime on top of all this thousands of people are having to flee their homes in the east because of the ongoing violence and for minute by minute coverage of all the aspects there are many of the ukrainian crisis you can always head to our website r.t. dot com. there's outrage in communities across america after revelations that local police forces are getting heavy duty military equipment washington says it's using surplus hardware from its overseas wars to bolster security at home but some americans fear the neighborhoods are now turning into war zones of their own miniport miles got the story. well as america can use 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 often 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 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 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 and we got a problem 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. . well even some form of police officers are worried about law enforcers getting so

much firepower at home captain ray lewis sided with protest as offer offices pepper sprayed peaceful demonstrators them occupy wall street rallied twenty eleven he told us such crackdowns could to deadly if military weapons a big use by police. 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 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 the sequent 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 the police departments. this is a national coming up shortly the u.k.'s secret trial came close to signaling the end of open justice in the country with covering up a controversial legal practice is famously debated by those for and against both sides of the argument coming up also to the gap narrow zone scottish independence is less than hundred days to go to the vote we give you the details of the ongoing debate. we'll take you there. are very hard to take. on. that fact that there's no.

feeling. for. approval.

was. thirteen minutes past nine at night now here in moscow clashes between palestinians and israeli troops have left one teenager dead in the west bank city of ramallah it comes to tell of evil arrest more than forty palestinians in connection with the abduction of three jewish teenagers the latest attentions reportedly bring the total number of those well it over to at least one hundred fifty now among them is the speaker of the palestinian parliament who is also a member of her most paula slayer's school the latest on the operation from tel aviv 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 did during clashes in the palestinian city of ramallah now the israeli government says that the hamas militant group is 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 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 if through their 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. course is that no one is certain how long this will continue. or it will feel more for. julius alone for the other joe who oversees the terrible time for the family friends loved ones of the three missing teenagers but you know by latest estimates a hundred fifty people know detained over all one palestinian youngs today has this change from simply a search operation to something big is it morphed well i'm not convinced that the operational goal was a simple search what we've seen in the last few days is a couple of things one is a whole scale attack on the hamas movement in the west bank not only as a resistance movement but also as a political movement the targeting of its civilian infrastructure and leadership

and additionally we've seen a tightening of the israeli policies that are designed to divide reinforce the division between the west bank and the gaza strip so i think what we're currently seeing is at least as much a reaction to the unity agreement which of course israel never liked as much as anything else hamas militants are looking to do this kidnapping israel blaming hamas could anyone else be involved if it is in the mass. it's very difficult for me to say that this happened somewhere in the neighborhood of hebron and gaza no one has well a couple of groups i believe have lost have made claims no one seems to be taking very seriously it's simply impossible to say at this point who might have done what could be motives of some sort of prisoner exchange maybe something like that.

well there is certainly a great deal of hope for that on the ground there are many fond memories here of the last major prisoner exchange of july for one thousand and forty seven prisoners in two thousand and eleven and many people are hopeful that something like that might be the best possible outcome of this interestingly. he said it could take a long time before these teenagers know me ok they would could it in the cab but was he so certain that it could take a long time it's very difficult for me to comment on anything netanyahu has said many of his remarks about this incident have simply been impossible to make sense of i mean we heard

before that he says this is mahmoud abbas's responsibility the responsibility of the p.a. well it happened an area see where the p.a. is not allowed any presence no security control and no civil administration they are simply not there it's no more the responsibility of the p.a. than any other government in the world. so in terms of the things netanyahu is saying i'm not necessarily the one to make sense of them for you my apologies thanks for your thoughts so thanks for the program and good to get new people of the show here thinking about your character in the literal and. now the gap between yes no vote some scottish independence is closing a recent survey shows nearly half of all scottish families are divided on the question one of the key issues in the debate pensions many claim the elderly would be worse off for the post yes scotland independence come pain around just millett gave us his view on the bat. protection that's pensions and welfare payments actually take up

a proportion of our national wealth at the moment then for the rest of the pension spending is actually more affordable in scotland under the westminster system it's absolutely ridiculous for the new campaign to suggest this wouldn't be a member of the european union has been boss of the e.u. for the last forty years our citizens are used to. any other scenario the stones will say to the european union. serious difficulties for the other member states of the e.u. businesses which operate in scotland and citizens who live here and that would jeopardize the rights of those businesses in substance while as that vote nears many famous names are choosing sides among the more thorough of the harry potter series j.k. rowling who's received abuse online after the dating a million pounds to british unity scotland's sole hero and paid told r.t. sophie shevardnadze that his fellow scot should be misled by what the separatist politicians are claiming we have had the three hundred year old alliance talking has a three hundred year old lines 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 and away mr salman who is the leader of the scottish national party of us present scotland he is offering a rule from brussels because he want to remain part of the european union it wants to offer rule from brussels and financial rule from frankfurt that's not independence. a former high level russian anti corruption police officer who is himself caught up in a bribery scandal has committed suicide according to his lawyer he jumped out of a window after big questioned and apparently this wasn't the suspect's first attempt on his own life you see caffein off report. well boris kolesnikov is the former head of the economic security and anti corruption department at the interior

ministry here he was in the process of being interrogated by authorities when he allegedly asked to use the bathroom and somehow managed to climb out of the window and plummets to his death and in a suicide. but there are of course questions about whether there may be potential police brutality involved in this case now back in may he sustained serious head injuries while in pretrial detention it wasn't proven there had been allegations of potential police brutality that he may have been beaten up while in custody and this comes on the heels of news developments in another police brutality case that has sparked. in russia as fifty two year old man was in detention two years ago in the russian city of cazan when he was allegedly tortured beaten and sodomized with a champagne bottle she ended up dying from those injuries well today eight police officers were sentenced to up to fifteen years behind bars in connection to that gruesome killing. four more tonight's top story sunni militants in northern iraq

the proceedings on the grounds of national security now the cause of appeal blocked 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 court of appeal also ruled that the cool part 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. she turned out to cation 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 blogs that attempt to hold

the first ever 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 that other parts must be public 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 it's 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. is this can national security information at the be made public because it sounds say you know 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 guard the fairness of the trial in public if it's 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 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 eight there will be released name down this in this instance the cooties not to get as far as the secret trial the concern now is that with more applications that day went. surfing. reporting from london. we'll be keeping tabs

on it you get live interactive with the nyssa now in our finale international before that after the break victims of domestic violence speak out about trying to rebuild their lives. recently four hundred high level russian officials including duma members were someone for a three day military training event that would include the use of various different weapons elektra's about steve the russian military the stated objective of all of this was to make the average soldier in the army aware of the patriotic attitudes of those who can order. i'm off to fight in theory this is a good idea but the reality is this kind of reeks that sweet stench of an empty p.r. stunt this is not nearly enough to convince the average grunt that the guys in power 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 cute super weekend camp will not have any psychological effect these politicians at the 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 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.

you know what it's like some kind of hallucination at some point in time not a very nice one mind you something happens to my mind. just great now i'm more interested in the question of safety is there anybody with you. alone it's a picture of myself as a shivering woman with trembling hands and a battered i. think there's a law against assault and physical abuse occurs three times in my case it was many more like this i only realised that something's happened after i've already done that it's just a few seconds. sometimes up to he had a few drinks he'd say i want blood. you should go to the emergency room and doctor would record everything that happened when i hear it without understanding this was violence i thought it was accidental.
