1:02 pm
forces continue their advance they have been getting more and more support from european volunteers paula slim at some of them. it's our war and everybody's war every european's war. and more and more overseas fighters are signing up for joining the antics of troops in eastern ukraine the war is slowly advancing into jeannette's city center this used to be a hardware store but like a growing number of soft targets around the city it has been reduced to rubble a growing number of europeans are saying enough is enough and are backing their words up with action twenty five year old niccolo was a professional soldier with the elite french mountain troops for five years now he's pushing his skills to good use in ukraine alongside a contingent of other foreign volunteers he's training anti-government forces in urban guerrilla warfare. to the point there is one more the these are people's
1:03 pm
militias these are not mercenaries or professional soldiers so they need instruction they really have the motivation whereas the kiev army which is a kind of puppet of nato they don't have any motivation whatsoever and they do not really know why they are fighting and against whom they are fighting so that is our main strength. the aid is also a symbolic. for many of these people from the west it's the first time to come defend what is considered by western governments a bad cards or the bad guys cards so it's very important to show the people from the west are distinct from their governments and they are ready to come and fight and risk their lives to defend another world it's not just france volunteers from c.b.s. spain germany poland israel and the united kingdom our internet scan the frontline . we believe that ukrainian army will not be able to sustain. a word or even fall because it's huge the day goes by they lose money devas motivation to lose
1:04 pm
manpower they lose. they lose so each day that goes by they grow weaker we grow stronger europe now finds itself in between a rock and a hard place what to do is move its young men sign up to fight against its ally. but at legally we don't see what the french government can do to us because first of all we're not paid so we're not mercenaries we're not terrorists we're not jihad this and of course it's a mission of information it's a political mission it's a mission of soft power a mission that's growing stronger as a brigade of western volunteers is put together under the name of the united continent they're showing just how disunited europe is on the question of ukraine policy r.t. did it's eastern ukraine. russia's deputy defense minister is said accusations that moscow is supplying arms to anti-government forces are simply incorrect he made the
1:05 pm
comments to slovakia the media earlier on saturday. so it could say ukraine was part of the soviet union and there were many arms depots across the soviet union and when russia and ukraine became separate states millions of automatic rifles mines and artillery systems were left on ukraine's territory so there were warehouses with arms on the territory where kiev is now conducting its punitive action against its own people and these warehouses came under control of anti-government forces people who took up arms to defend their rights so to speak about russia supplying arms to dennet's cool lugansk is simply wrong just look at what ukraine's army is fighting with it's fighting with russian arms or soviet arms to be correct while european leaders are at a summit in brussels and joining them ukraine's president petro poroshenko is going a step further in his accusations against russia thousands of the foreign troops
1:06 pm
and hundreds of the foreign turns. on the turn into a few queen has a very high risk not only for peace and stability for you three but for the whole piece is the bit in your. the e.u. doesn't want confrontation but it's prepared to toughen sanctions on moscow that's according to the president of the european commission is a man well barroso as he addressed the media alongside the ukrainian leader the head of russia's lower house of parliament says that only measures will also punish ordinary europeans sergei nourishing spoke exclusively to r.t. by media is the sanctions policy spirals out of control more and more m.p.'s and politicians in general start to question its effectiveness if they see with increasing clarity that it's the people who have to pay the price for this policy basically while imposing sanctions on russia you governments make their own
1:07 pm
businesses and their own people pick up the tab and make them pay for that political mistakes or i think it's becoming more and more obvious that the sentiment of the political elite and the general public is shifting moscow and brussels have agreed that ukraine will have to pay the gas bills it still owes to russia and searing the safe transit of russian gas supplies through ukraine is vital for the e.u. and that dependence on russian gas will remain at least for another decade that's according to the fitch rating agency it's predicted that other suppliers won't be ready to meet the demands europe's not ready to rework the current infrastructure or shift to using other sources of energy such as shale gas ukraine also gets its gas from russia but owes moscow more than five billion dollars the state coffers are running empty and one of the country's largest power plants is now and its gas cut off after using too much of the resource people are now being encouraged to cut down their energy usage as well as artie's reports. it looks like ukraine's

u.k. prime minister will hold talks over the weekend on new measures to tackle islamic jihadists the government is worried about the growing tide of britons traveling to the middle east to fight what they see as a holy war the country's threat level was also raised to severe which means an attack on british soil is considered highly likely new plans could make it easier to revoke passports of those looking to travel abroad to two hundred fifty jarvis the thoughts of return to the u.k. already from the middle east the british government has for years given material support to what it calls moderate rebels fighting the assad regime in syria. there will be new political progress in less the opposition is able to withstand the onslaught and put pressure on assad so he is no military victory so we will also increase our efforts to support and to shape the moderate opposition what we're facing in iraq now with isis is

a preacher and deeper threat to our security than we have known before new video has been circulating online showing a twenty one year old london of bragging of joining what he calls the golden era of jihad is also calling on other young britons to follow his lead and the war activists brownback a gave us his thoughts on the rise of extremism in the middle east. the u.k. joined with the united states in carrying out a war against muslim countries in the middle east as it's perceived in them in the middle east and amongst muslims in the u.k. is that the u.k. government is part of a war against islam and this facilitates and plays into the hands of those who are who are promoting political islamics especially extremist elements who show yes this is a war against islam and yes we can build in recruiting organize on this basis but fundamentally it is the policy of the u.k. government in hand with the united states government that has created the conditions for this development i think behind the terror threat level is the real
1:12 pm
politics of what's going on the terror threat level is not really about perceived terror it's about preparing public opinion in the u.k. and in the united states for an escalating intervention by the united states in the u.k. in the middle east and they always have to do it on the pretext of protecting the domestic population against the threat of terrorism the jihadists that has put the spotlight on security plans for the nato summit in cardiff and newport next week and the case going to great lengths to ensure the safety of the v.i.p.'s who will be attending as hundreds of protesters are flocking to the cities where meetings will be held how we fear reports from newport. well the leaders the organizers of this protest movement against nato hope that in the coming hours and days ten to twenty thousand protesters from across wales the u.k. and even some coming from mainland europe are going to come here to tokyo protest

1:14 pm
of security barriers being put in the center of the south wales cities the police are trying to do many things first protect the nato summit itself second to also facilitate the democratic protests of peaceful protesters and third to try and keep wales and the u.k. secure given the increased terrorist threat which was raised just in the last couple of days. well the race from the stop the war coalition thinks the fact that those attending nato summit need such tough security measures speaks volumes about their policies but these are world leaders who are out of control they seem to have no sense that these policies. they have have no sense of the people think that the money is being spent from this could be better spent in this country for hospitals and schools is a poor time for a fraction of the amount of money that's being spent of purity here the fire was those people could be given new jobs in this time of what's true of me is actually true the war machine globally there wouldn't be an increased threat level if those
