children women and the elderly the defense force has been quickly drawn together in a bid to counter the government's crackdown on the eastern provinces even before the troubles began these men had made repeated complaints to kiev about work conditions low wages and the money from the wealthy industrial region going straight to the central authorities. but now that those very authorities are firing shells at them the miners say they have no choice but to defend their families. as it were given ultimatum to the key of june to offer its punitive actions will give them a day to stop the crackdown two days to withdraw troops it appears the word coal miners doesn't mean anything to them but unlike them we miners and are making good in our words then you to create it armed forces have only the most basic of equipment and that munition for most sport but when it comes to defending their loved ones they're ready to use whatever it takes the coal miners have made good on their promise to leave work and pick up arms in case president carter partially to
3:09 pm
go does not stop the operation of within twenty four hours today here on their lenin square in donetsk. soldiers gave an oath of allegiance to the people's republic of donetsk for a month off or a party that's ukraine. months of military action has forced tens of thousands to flee to neighboring russia hundreds killed at the border seeking shelter in refugee camps and you can hear some of their stories on our team. moving on now meet the world's most expensive weapon the four hundred billion dollar f. thirty five and their craft whose price just went even higher thanks to additional funding plagued by delays massive cost operands and bloats and bureaucracy the jets left even its top backers some wants underwhelmed and to cover the price the planes now being suited to foreign buyers as artie's marina portnoy explains. the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet is the crime to look ram of military planes.
3:10 pm
and the pentagon's most expensive conventional weapons program it's a game changer the f. thirty five fighter jet is manufactured by lockheed martin combining state of the art technology with highly advanced avionics and maneuverability the pentagon plans to buy nearly twenty five hundred f. thirty five but delays and cost increases have left u.s. lawmakers frustrated over the three hundred eighty five billion dollar price tag and that's where america's allies come in. lockheed martin has turned to international partners at least eight foreign contracts are on the table but none have a final price tag so far canada's latest calculations have only proved that the cost will be at least ten billion dollars higher than expected experts suggest f. thirty five are something of a gamble for everyone involved there's never been anything anywhere near as
3:11 pm
expensive and the entire process is one in which the costs can only go. the other problem is that the more they spend in the more the united states and the manufacturer and now a whole bunch of other countries become invested more they have to go ahead any of these countries that want to become a good deal that they have no choice boosting demand from foreign investors is believed to be essential for the pentagon and lockheed martin why because the more f. thirty five are produced the cheaper each jet is to build and maintain her in a port r.t. . the f. thirty five has suffered one side back after another in the most recent case the entire fleet was grounded and testing suspended after one of the planes suffered an oil make but the engines are not be the only area this aircraft is actually experiencing problems and because in fact as you are by. see here the plane has
3:12 pm
been suffering well documented cracks from head to sail the pentagon even stopped it from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm also fears its fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning but we spoke to the man who helped design the iconic sixteen and a ten aircraft and they had let's look at society up out the f. thirty five it's one of the worst airplanes we've ever designed. for a lot of reasons but the most important reason is that it was compromised by having to do three different jobs you can never make a good airplane if you don't focus on a single shingle mission and then they made it even worse by saying that would save money by giving it up among three services so now you have three missions pulling the airplane in different directions now you have three services three bureaucracies adding their parochial points of view the airplane is a complete mess and one to this is the most expensive single project that the
3:13 pm
defense department has ever undertaken this dane for a problem campaign coming up for us all far as a hard cash for ideas on how to gain support for its trade agreements with europe but gets only a stream of sarcasm and condemnation. plus the ugly side of the beautiful game late so we sort fact from fiction surrounding the infamous looking antics of russia's football fans. but first thousands of britons are marching on parliaments demanding the government's rein then its wave of cuts among the protesters are politicians celebrities and union leaders all upsets with a blanket austerity imposed by london arts the center for three ports from among the crowd. well the un seals the protesters making their way to central london the moment you take a look behind me you can see the crowds that at times out of use of pull it daily for a very serious message for money and if you take
3:14 pm
a look at some of the signs there's a whole range to this he's everything from education to drive to the. what they really are asking for the good. times look for the u.k. has been doing that and that people here say that they see god in their living standard what they want to see they know why they're on our take or stop in the crowd in james he's a member but he doesn't remember to try to make sense of exactly what the hot seat today is all about too long just for living some this is choice on a friday in the eighty seven seas over a million workers driven into poverty since the quake come and live in where you have an army of zero. people strictly jokes you would see this also to finish the fight for a living wage fighting for housing would his rights. should be designed to tax justice against tax avoidance is what an awesome really at the heart of this was
3:15 pm
the government will say the economy has been only up that has been improving but a lot of people here say that they've seen as a result of the cuts that have been voted to keep the economy the living standards for the so you see the stories you're going to hear today as people have taken to the streets as central london to protest against the start. and we have more news coming your way including iraq spasso for survival against the sunni extremist insurgency that's coming after a short break here on r.t. . there's no volume in bonds because there is no market in bonds because bonds are trading at three hundred year highs here in the u.k. and two hundred forty years. in the u.s. they are well confiscation certificates for sure they represent no value whatsoever the only people buying these bonds are the computers amongst themselves or other
3:16 pm
computers and this is part of the takeover of civilization by the machines. technology innovation all the developments from around russia. the future of coverage. this immediately goes so we leave the people. of the sea motions to the. physical. issues that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politic you. are.
3:17 pm
welcome back to r.t. and for national concern you now with the other news if you can convince them just all for a cold hard cash and that's exactly what the us government is doing promising large for boards so anyone who can come up with ways of promoting an unpopular trade pact with europe but the campaign hasn't worked out as planned this peter all of our explains. the united states has been accused of a cynical propaganda campaign after a tweet originated from its embassy just behind me here. this tweet was with regard to the transatlantic trade and investment partnership between europe and the united states now the tweet was offering up to twenty thousand u.s. dollars for any project people could come up that would protect the tree in a good light snow it has come in for some scathing criticism from people here in europe mostly because of worries over a decrease in standards the standards for products in europe are far higher than
3:18 pm
they are in the united states also on workers' rights as well though this is seen environmentalist environmentalists trade unions and health campaign is all railing against this trade deal to put that into perspective of the public opinion here in europe when it comes to the environment ninety six percent of germans say they have faith in european environmental regulation well only two percent believe in regulations inforced in the united states has also been controversy surrounding genetically modified foods not like here in europe people have demonstrated against them however there is concern that because of u.s. labeling laws they could inadvertently become into the european markets so all of these things the same criticism of this well it's kind of backfired they have come in for far more criticism online because of this. investment partnership deal comes
3:19 pm
with plenty of ball promises trade barriers will disappear along with any regulatory differences between the u.s. and the e.u. are predicted to stop around two hundred fifty billion dollars to america and europe a collective g.d.p. which would expand both economies but critics say all this comes out too high a price they fear corporations. would use the agreements again too much power over governments and that's hacks players would end up footing the bill for anything that goes wrong the sheer size of the new trade zone and the lack of transparency would make it much harder to hold companies to account for breaching regulations michael shank of the washington based friends committee on national legislation believes it's a step backwards. well that's good for investors bad for health it's bad for the environment it's bad for labor and it's bad for regulations that countries and states have worked for decades to institute so those are some of the biggest concerns and what it says to russia what it says to china with the t p p is that we
3:20 pm
don't want you a part of this conversation and in this very globalized interconnected world particular in trade because we don't have many barriers between us and you already so when we're doing to tip it's not really about removing trade barriers because the tariffs are quite low it's about saying to the rest of the world we have this partnership it's exclusive and you're not going to be a part of it and don't forget you can also had to our website already dot com where we're looking at how environmental groups have been responding to a surprising allegation from the head of nato greenpeace didn't mince its words were reacting to chief ross muslims claim that it's taking orders from the kremlin that's part of a plot to subvert e.u. governments find out exactly what was said on the websites. also their japan may have failed to score during their latest world cup match spot their fans have left a lasting impression on brazil by keeping the stadium spotlessly clean get the full story on r.t. dot com. well compared to the japanese fans the reputation of
3:21 pm
russian supporters couldn't be lower there are reports of displayed neo nazi banners during the side's opening world cup match in brazil some have speculated this could lead to the national team being the doctor points by fee for our season exodus have skin that's the gaze the origins of russian football hooliganism and what it's like now. showing support for your team in russia could mean this this. or this. when it was your first mobile caught up in one thousand nine hundred eighty when spotlight was playing cisco in moscow we had a huge fight right blue warriors came up against us there was more than eight hundred people involved in a brawl but you know and that is just one of the fights i see described now a retired hooligan he says fan culture has changed massively in russia you know if
3:22 pm
you've a stereotype of an english football hooligan or an italian ultras is no longer applied to us we went our own way now there are no loud criminal cases against you look at them compared to the ninety's back in the soviet days football was considered one of the nation's prides history's best goalkeeper left yosh and the team which won the first ever european championship and the police of revolutionary managers with the break up of the soviet union football just as many other spheres of life suffered a major setback it may be a coincidence but along with these problems came whole organism. it's still unclear what caused the surge in violence but in recent years russian hooligans have remained visible from violent pitch invasions to mass treat rallies and racist incidents involving swastikas in the stands near nazi views and as you know phobia are among the most debate issues back in twenty ten when a fan was killed during fighting in moscow that escalated into ethnic violence thousands of ultras made themselves heard right outside the walls of the kremlin.
3:23 pm
politically motivated people have always been close to find groups not only have a propagandized the culture of violence but they explained why this violence was needed that's why i know c.v.s. a popular there because force and violence are the basis of naziism and fascism but for more and found over russia's largest fan movement their market and i have believes the issue is often blown up in the press and problems are usually solved even before they appear. who spearheaded events at the my down in ukraine some of them are in the national guard now so potentially this is a very dangerous part of society but are all thorgils are pursuing a very clever strategy with who live in communities so there's no danger from them in russia these fights happen every weekend but no one knows if they happen out of town in forests and strictly upon agreement of the twenty thirteen movie tells the story of a firm of hooligans consisting partially of white collar workers where death and
3:24 pm
destruction rub shoulders with love and friendship one of its characters keeps asking the question why do you fight this from us but with all of us. the movie slogan is we can not change real life has proven they can insist of a sealy it's just a matter of whether the rest of the world will be happy with this evolution of the russian fan culture when the country hosts the next world cup in twenty eighteen let's see moscow. and moving on several course seventeen militants have been killed there in fights in between and some government sunni groups over one million people have been displaced by the insurgency since the start of the scene here according to the u.n. and that number is only expected to rise as the army tries to push back the advances of an al qaeda offshoots isis which wants to establish an islamic state spread in several countries is already in control of large parts of iraq including the second largest city mosul and it's that closing in on baghdad meanwhile the
3:25 pm
first of three hundred u.s. military advisers promised by washington to be iraqi security forces are due to arrive later today but mideast expert joshua landis believes the u.s. is reluctant to push this too far indeed over the this results of the two thousand and three invasion now you can watch the full interview in the worlds apart so morrow here on artsy but here's a little preview. this entire isis episode shows the incredible strategic blunder of president george w. bush in attacking iraq and casting down the cities from the top of society to the bottom destroying the state of iraq which kindled this sectarian struggle the united states is debating today about how much support to give to maliki many people believe that he is too sectarian that if america supports him it will offend sudanese turn suddenly world against the united states and alienate our support in
3:26 pm
the gulf therefore they're very reluctant to get in with direct military support they would like to get diplomats on the ground to begin negotiating as they did during the occupation. and in the few moments here and i see international find out why buying government bonds is probably a bad idea in the kaiser report but if you're watching us from the u.k. it's going on the ground. analyzing the old mistakes that are being repeated and never ought to stay with us. so are we going back to iraq recently violence has flared up as insurgents are
3:27 pm
taking cities from the current iraqi government and response to this chaos obama declared that his administration is prepared to take military action whenever our national security is threatened oh well since the weapons of mass destruction were never found in iraq and the current militants can't shoot their forty seven's over the ocean i don't see how us national security is at risk now or before the iraq war even started but on the other hand the flow of oil from us but tamia well that might be at risk but sometimes i forget that obama is a politician and just a day later he was quoted as saying quite the opposite about the same situation to occurring that we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq which sounds great to my ears until you wait yet another few days and now he is saying that they want to send at least two hundred seventy five troops to provide support and security for u.s. personnel and the us embassy in baghdad i think this orwellian attitude towards the truth comes from two factors one lying works and obama gets away with it and to the fear of looking weak presidents have to act confident like they were total control
3:28 pm
with an awesome plan even when they have no idea what they're going to do i think this is the case with this iraq issue but that's just my opinion. what about washington getting tougher on its allies like saudi arabia because it's no secret that saudi money was a crucial factor in the rise of the extremist can afford to take it out on. the united states dragged their feet they did declare early on in the uprising that it was a terrorist organization and about the mossad and others were terrorist organizations and proscribed them but it did very little to carry through with that and to force its allies to equally prescribe those groups.
