instrument. in the. past the hour and hour of continuing to tighten the noose on antigovernment resistance in eastern ukraine red marks on the map here put together by ukrainian media le show the areas that are still controlled by the opposition there are shrinking daily areas under siege include eastern regions the largest cities dynamic and lugansk with local authorities saying the situation is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe all of these images coming from the region these probably some of the most striking people in wheelchairs who died in broad daylight after a care home for the elderly in libya was pounded by shells both sides are blaming each other for the killings pictures in contrast with the words of ukraine's president who repeatedly promised us civilians would not suffer in the conflict.
12:31 am
ukrainian military forces the national guard and other units will never allow themselves to do harm to civilians ukrainian soldiers will risk their own lives but won't threaten women children and elderly men this is the eternal chivalrous nature of the ukrainian army you know home a school or a church the list of buildings that have been under artillery fire in east ukraine has been growing locals are asking one question why they have to live through the horror of war i mean you got what you said. or you still got to go when you get that you. need to you go. with. the. phrase you know i don't want i want you to go.

12:33 am
russian foreign ministry said because they wanted to ban such supplies to have a coach but are now giving it to this world but because the actually fuse to treat this as a conflict in the first place it's simply a rebellion in the loop so-called legitimate ukrainian most thought it is already involved in the security operation to stablish law and order if there is more weapons coming the ukrainian government's way more training more where it looks pretty green for the self-defense forces this will only be bold late to go all the way using indiscriminate violence in resolving the issue in the east itself the way russian oil giant lukoil those we decided to sell all its petrol stations in ukraine after some of the more blocked by members of the extremist right sector group radicals previously demanded fuel be handed over to the army for the ongoing
12:34 am
assault on the country's east u.k. journalist neil clark who's been following the situation thinks kiev is using the far right group to do its dirty work a particularly the right sector to do things that ukrainian government will want to be seen giving themselves such as well katie stations and so i think it's kind of good cop bad cop really even though you could say the prayer for it is a good question anyway however they need the right sect it's doing things like it's the countries running short of. money supplies and therefore it's better for all the ukrainian authorities if the right sector is taken this kind of activity is blockading back to stations rather than the cells because the government doesn't want to control these people it's the needs the right sector came to power the right sector and it still needs them today. meanwhile an american journalist working for artie's a ruptly agency in western ukraine has been told to leave the country she was detained in question for several hours by security services after trying to film a protest locals were trying to voice their discontent over the ongoing
12:35 am
mobilization of the book this week ukraine released images it said were taken by satellites proving it had no surface to air missiles in the area where the malaysian airliner came down by russia's defense ministry says the photos were actually taken by an american satellite and had their time codes altered according to moscow the images were shot days after the plane crash earlier the state department resorted to e-mails and twitter to release the photos allegedly showing that military forces had been firing across the border into ukraine moscow said somebody in images had been doctored and the rest were inconclusive a former white house official told us that the u.s. government would not use official channels to publish the evidence someone needs to ask the state department did they issue this information by e-mail early on a sunday morning this is a completely dead time in news many american cities aren't even up yet san francisco los angeles seattle it's still early hours in the morning so.
12:36 am
if this was released by the state department which i doubt it's so unprofessional i was assistant secretary united states treasury i was added to the wall street journal this is not the way. news is released ever. we're keeping on top of updates coming out of ukraine around the clock on air and online at r.t. dot com. this week washington and european allies unleashed their toughest sanctions yet on russia over the ukraine crisis the latest measures targeting some of russia's financial pillars one of them be the country's second largest bank which operates in europe asia and africa one of its subsidiaries the bank of moscow also on the sanctions list russia's agricultural bank which funds the farming sector has been targeted there is also the united building corporation russia's largest holding in that sector one u.s. lawmaker voice for grette over the latest political fallout from the film there was
12:37 am
a tremendous potential to make sure a friend of tremendous potential they withdraw their troops from eastern europe. the russians. were open to all kinds of interactive human being could be part of the world community and a horrible tremendous opportunity i should say was squandered. take a closer look at how the latest wave strain sanctions are targeting the russian economy the financial sector the country's biggest and oldest bank is in the firing line the energy sector has been targeted with an embargo on some drilling technologies that could potentially affect exports which brought russia more than two hundred billion dollars last year on top of that russia's defense sector is also being restricted arms sales accounting for more than fifteen billion dollars in two thousand and thirteen but the sanctions work both ways some of russia's top european trading partners are now bracing for cuts german experts say the country could lose six billion euros to explore in exports to russia this year alone as
12:38 am
moscow's a number one e.u. trading partner berlin has plenty to lose annual turnover between the countries comes in to some seventy six billion euros six thousand german companies do business with russia three hundred thousand german jobs directly depend on good business relations with moscow even citizens may not be forced to pay the price for political ambitions according to economists michel moss. when you talk to the people on the street when you talk to people who haven't run a business. executives in a big company. for the whole dissensions i can tell is to you because sanctions never a one way street and there's always a reaction to a sanction and when it comes to this impose sanctions all distinction to be imposed on russia then of course the germans the ones who are suffering most it's easy for united states to. full sanctions but the ones who are suffering are the germans all those countries who are close to russia because they naturally have the biggest
12:39 am
business implications european officials say russia and the e.u. could lose more than one hundred billion euros each over the next two years because of the latest sanctions some european firms are already counting their losses sports company adidas shares tumbled almost fifteen percent after the firm said it wouldn't achieve targets in russia europe's largest car maker volkswagen reported an eight percent decline in russia sales in the first half of the year compared to last year a couple of analysts told us that the e.u. may try to minimize the impact of the sanctions on its own economy. sanctions are a fairly blunt instrument they tend to hurt both the people who are being sanctioned as well as the people who are leveling the sanctions they tend to reduce economic vitality and which is bad for everyone but they also have a pretty mediocre history of achieving the goals that are set out for them so that has agreed to certain amount of tension and reluctance to use sanctions particularly by europeans who have had a mixed experience of being pushed into sanctions by the u.s.
12:40 am
government never seen sanctions implemented for ninety days only before so i think they're sending a message to the russians we really don't want to go through with this possibly because they think it may harm themselves so i think they're very much hoping that the situation will improve in the relationship and that they can disappear after ninety days steps data on air and online always more analysis opinion on our website r t dot com. for the mainstream media across the atlantic the ukraine crisis in its complexity boils down to just one person a lot of your putin takes a look. president obama said he does not believe this growing tension with russia could be the beginning of the new cold war no. no cold war one could only wish turn this thought the same or at least those who are making covers of magazines because some
12:41 am
of them hark back to the cold war as if they were made back in the day no matter how complicated an issue you can be almost certain that the media are going to boil it down to personalities well with ukraine it's one personality the russian president what does he do when he's working all for an outdoor adventure and why don't we see him smiling very much he's not really driven by by women or we're distracted by alcohol he's very tough he's a very arrogant. person to deal with and what kind of diplomacy can you expect moving forward when diplomats use this kind of language this is the you came back to the united states speaking give me three adjectives you'd use to describe a lot of your proof. i'm not a poet but. i think. dishonest afraid comes to mind because we've had all these lies. but i think it's a reckless to makes one wonder if they really want to solve
12:42 am
a problem or if they're good with the current state of affairs the media focus on the russian president has had its effect on twitter where users came up with the hash tag putin and now many use it to comment on pretty much anything it didn't rain in my country today i blame voting for it or a mosquito just bit me blame putin and then to the report that former georgian president saakashvili doesn't want to go back to his country to stand trial and says he blames sports in this use it goes if you are in trouble just playing putin in washington i'm going to show our team. still to come spies assassination and poison britain opening a public inquiry into the killing of former russian intelligence officer alexander litvinenko eight years after the. choose your language. of holy week over though if you're going to stay still so

12:46 am
case at all it's been nearly eight years since alexander litvinenko death yet his family are nowhere near the truth and very pleased to receive this decision in the public inquiry and i know it's in there as a long time to wait and it's not is it months is in the air but finally it will receive this but why has it been such a long road to this truth let's take a look at what's been achieved so far british prosecutors accuse the two men co's former colleagues of murdering him durance he both deny and involvements russia refuses to extradite any of its own citizens because the constitution doesn't allow it the british inquest is delayed as the coroner of the sides of public inquiry will be better ministers rule out that option the high court supports the idea of an inquiry so a public inquiry is announced the main twist to this case came after revelations
12:47 am
litvinenko was allegedly working for m i six as well us with the spanish security services and this is precisely the kind of data which will now be scrutinized as a public inquiry das allow secret sensitive government material to be examined i do this not it against. russia not even of the police for just if i do this for two years i would like to show people you able to get justice in any difficult to create. a truth which could turn out to be uncomfortable to swallow for some marine a cost of artsy art he spoke of libyan goes a brother in an exclusive interview who has his own theory about what happened. so far we haven't seen one official piece of evidence that would prove the cause of alexander's death it's been eight years and all we've had interviews and newspaper articles as far as i know alexander was trainee agents for amite six in that time

he found out a lot about the life of russian dissidents in the u.k. he didn't know any english and after he lost his job he wanted to start a business in russia of course his previous employers didn't like the idea of him going back soon i suppose the western security services decided to get rid of him. this week two european courts ordered a total of more than fifty billion dollars in damages to former yukos shareholders the default defunct oil company was owned by macau how to ski who was arrested for tax evasion in two thousand and three the firm was sold off and went bankrupt all of which was legally according to was legal according to moscow a year ago european court of human rights said the case was not politically motivated. taking a look now at some other stories making global headlines this hour at least twelve three armenian servicemen have died in clashes in the disputed region the violence has considered considerably escalated over the last week the mostly armenian populated area split from azerbaijan in the early one nine hundred ninety s.
