troops in the country's east r.t. spoke to a witness who wanted to help people who are crossing from ukraine so i went to the border to offer my assistance there were lots of children in the refugee camp and i brought them sweets to cheer them up i had the gun far as i was coming up to the border people were screaming and running there was several gunshots it was very scary to see women and children crying for some time and when i came back to the checkpoint was on fire. during the fighting around eighty ukrainian border guards fell back into russian territory where they asked for shelter six of them were wounded all have now been safely headed back to ukraine according to the countries that border officials one anti-government leader was said has said that they will be allowed to return to duty at the front here. i mean while russia has a put some sixty five thousand troops on alert to check their readiness for action they are taking part in a week of drills in the center of the country. russian president

vladimir putin has lent his support to the ukrainian leaders peace plan which includes a cease fire but he said of the strategy is unlikely to work with no clear steps towards opening negotiation with the opposition in the country's east and russia's foreign minister shares the president's concerns you just it's a peace plan has a number of votes and made some light demands it lacks the most important thing the negotiations and that's a radical step away from the geneva agreement which he supports is in there it's all work at least. as including the u.s. the e.u. and the ukrainian authorities coal miners and workers in eastern ukraine are taking up arms and swearing allegiance to the self-proclaimed republic they say they don't trust president poroshenko peace plan. was at the ceremony which saw the new members sworn into the ranks.

only a matter of weeks ago these men were digging for their country today they're taking up arms against it these miners are the latest recruits for the uniformed fishel army of the self-proclaimed people's republic of donetsk. just yesterday we were all wearing mine is uniforms and mining calls today we join the ranks of the militia to protect our motherland and i loved ones and to stop the killings of 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 were conditioned low wages and the money from the wealthy industrial region going straight to the central authorities. but now 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 munitions 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 present a partial go does not stop the operation of within twenty four hours today here on and then a square in donetsk. soldiers gave an oath of allegiance to the people's republic of donetsk roman coffer a party that's ukraine. months of military action has forced to tens of thousands to flee to neighboring russia hundreds are queued at the border seeking shelter in refugee camps and you can hear some of them there. stories at r.t.

dot com. to other news now you can meet the world's most expensive weapon the four hundred billion dollar f. thirty five an aircraft whose price tag just went even higher thanks to additional funding plagued by delays massive cost overruns and bloated bureaucracy the jets left even its top backers somewhat underwhelmed and had to cover the price of the plane it is now being touted to foreign buyers as artie's marina explains. the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet is the crime to look ram of military planes. 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 c.

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 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 in any of these countries that want to be a couple of years feel 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 porsche nine. now the f. thirty five has suffered one set back after another in the most recent case the entire fleet was grounded and testing suspended after one of the planes suffered an oil leak now the engines are not the only area where this aircraft is suffering some problems in fact as you can see here the plane has been suffering well documented cracks from nose to tail the pentagon even stopped it from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm out of fears its fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning and we spoke to the man who helped design the iconic f. sixteen and a ten aircraft and he had little good to say about 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 a single mission and then they made it even worse price saying that we saved money by giving it up among three services so now you have three missions pulling the airplane in different directions and now you have three services three bureaucracies adding their parochial point of view of the airplane it was a complete mess and mind you this is the most expensive single project that the that the defense department has ever undertaken. now distain it for a promotional campaign coming up the u.s. offers hard. to gain support for its trade agreement with europe but gets only a stream of sarcasm and condemnation. and the ugly side of the beautiful game later we sort fact from fiction surrounding the infamous hooligan antics of

is reluctant to push this too far in the view of catastrophic results of the two thousand and three invasion you can watch the full interview in worlds apart tomorrow right here on our t.v. here is a taste of this entire crisis episode shows the incredible strategic blunder of president george w. bush in 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 to send the world against the united states and alienate our support in the gulf therefore they are very reluctant to get in with direct military support they would like to get the diplomats on the ground to begin negotiating as they did during the occupation. meanwhile several hundred people have rallied in

world cup and russian supporters are one of the groups singled out parties oleksiak chefs he takes a look now at how russian football hooliganism has changed over the years. showing support for your team in russia could mean this this. or this. when it was your first 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 you 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 hulett guns

compared to the ninety's back in the soviet days football was considered one of the nation's sprites history's best goalkeeper left us 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 again isn't. it's still unclear what caused this 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 debated 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. 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. are popular there because force and violence are the bases of naziism and fascism but former hooligan and founder of russia's largest planned movement developed at the nih of 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. the twenty thirteen movie tells the story of a firm of hooligans consisting partially of white collar workers where death and destruction rub shoulders with love and friendship one of its characters keeps asking the question why do you fight us but with all of.

the movies 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 eight. moscow. coming up next on our hour documentary about the horrific history of genetic experiments on humans dating back to the nazi era and for those of you in the u.k. our show sputniks stay with us you're watching r.t. . 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 and alexis about stay of the russian military the stated objective of all

of this was to make the average soldiers in the army aware of the patriotic attitudes of those who can order them 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 cutesy who we can camp will not have any psychological effect these politicians and to be honest i think bureaucrats the world over have it too easy their lives are too comfortable haeckel 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.

right. now i. want to focus on the side street.

as if this were to ask you a question of you heard about the story for you. know. a general story you know you know the realization program and stories are passed on know by now jerry and what's going on if you heard about the unusual next program or so starring ization smith you know how devoted you know they are and what do you what do you want what have you heard about to oh i don't know i don't know him you don't know exactly. sorry eugenics yet but eugenics because that's a question. i was. thirteen and i was molested. i got
