could veto the attempt to impose more trade sanctions against russia next week the country's prime minister says the measures are meaningless and can do productive and there's no point in supporting sanctions that could hurt the economy further restrictions announced by european leaders at a summit in brussels would be the latest escalation in the trade war since moscow imposed a food import ban as brussels tries to curb the impact of this ban some western politicians have put forward their own ideas on how to lessen the pain. keeps food you know that. the german agriculture minister believes eating away the food which was supposed to go to russia could help local produce is money wise and also put it in a pressure on moscow early estimate show the e.u. could forfeit up to seven billion euros over the food embargo this means around

4:17 am
sanction is but in the next couple of months it will be even more obvious you know what i'm talking. from the beginning it was the wrong approach because sanctions escalated the situation and did not ease the tension in the sky it was clear when the imposed sanctions that there would be a counter reaction and the stakes would be raised and now because of that a lot of entrepreneurs as well as the general public in germany has been affected by that. we also interviewed the speaker of russia's parliament who says europe should think for itself and shouldn't be pressured into imposing sanctions on moscow. were large extent a european partners acted as advised or even instructed by washington as for economic sanctions at times they look like a tool used for unfair competition an unlawful tool that is not based on a court ruling and is not sanctioned by the un if they go ahead this will not be the first time washington and the e.u. impose sanctions on us i believe that such statements by washington should scare

4:19 am
by the end of each year and that this pace it will be eighty percent four years from now what makes the situation even worse is that the economy isn't growing either on the contrary experts believe it will shrink dramatically between now and the end of the year as a kid digs deep into his pockets to find another nine billion dollars to pay off lenders wall street analyst michael hudson believes the trainee spicey is facing a financial abbie's ukraine that's not meeting the i.m.f. condition or as the i.m.f. meeting its own condition under the articles of agreement it's not a loan just lend money to a country that is unable to reach payment of these demands is going to force the ukrainian currency where you know they're going to make imports much more expensive for ukrainians they're going to increase the cost of living the government will withdraw the price supports for gas and for other essential so the cost of living
4:20 am
will go up unemployment will rise the ukrainians are going to be leaving to the west to the east because the economy will be killed by the conditions of this well this is what the i.m.f. economists inside internally have been complaining about they said wait a minute. the i.m.f. loan to greece we've already seen that it tore the greek economy apart you know you're doing the same thing with ukraine so if you want to see what was going to ukraine look at what happened after two thousand and twelve so the i.m.f. loan big reached it's a disaster and more stories for you on our website right now including a battle for data privy sees being waged in new york where microsoft has been ordered to hand over e-mails and user data stored outside the us find out how the software giant plans to challenge the call ruling at r.t. dot com and also their employ strikes against cancer cells carried out by nano robots could revolutionize treatment of the disease before story we had

the u.k. illegally each week stowed away in the lorries desperate to go to england you know they really that's what they want they don't want to stay here it's not a very nice place to stay and even if they ask for asylum many stay on the street for weeks or months before they even have lodging cali's mess says the town is so the scene by refugees that locals fear for their safety and best is a pulling out of the area so frustrated as natasha bouchard that she said she's willing to buy ferry tickets to send all the migrants over to britain she's even called for the u.k.'s border to be moved from its current location in the cali ferry terminal over to the port of dover. there is only one police in the world where countries buddhism and physically located in their own country and that's here in cali clearly doesn't work we are hostages of the decisions and the policies of the british government i'm demanding the border is moved back to its own can.
4:27 am
treat britain's borders should be in due were in the united kingdom it's not our job to control britain's borders kelly come to coop and they don't care how bad things are for us the u.k. government needs to start doing its job and not leaving it up to us to do it here in france. just twenty miles across the channel here in derry the u.k. hasn't exactly got its arms wide open the british government is so concerned over the migrants desperate attempts to make it to britain in deniz and makeshift vessels that a special fleet of border force boats has been assigned to patrol this coastline as for the suggestion to move the u.k.'s borders away from france the u.k. government has told us it's not in their plans the locals in dover tell us that they've already had enough to service so many that we can tell me this from his

responsibility if they reaching their shores and believes that they should maintain a responsibility to go control flow to those words just of those it's a problem that no one wants to have isn't it back in cali dinner time is while they're here these men and women's lives are taken up by simple questions like where their next meal will come from or how they can get a shower while the authorities in france and britain continue to wash their hands of them. kalai and over. well every year thousands of refugees try to cross from cal a to the u.k. drawn by a favorable migrant policy and the situation is growing worse by the year french police prevented over seven thousand in the border crossings in the last six months alone this number is already more than double the previous year. i while many of us resort to trolling the internet when looking for cheaper flights one russian man
4:29 am
tried another approach when he goes on his holidays he gets there in a plane that he built himself as artie's within a question of a report on how his dreams took flight. surrogate and his eight year old son took a flight to their holiday destination there'd be nothing exceptional about that word not for one thing you will get little i made a plane we flew in myself i know every single tiny parts of it and of course it gives me great comfort i feel confident about it has spent over five years building and from scratch using mostly fiberglass plastic old machinery parts and has inexhaustible and he asked him sir ghana has sunny keita spent a total of twenty three hours in the sky travelling from the heart of siberia to the coast of the black sea. i was born in a very remote area in a small village there were no roads there it was like living on an island once my
4:30 am
father told me that when i grow up i would be able to build some type of cross-country vehicle that would get me anywhere i ever wanted it i was always dreaming about it but his real passion for airplanes started back in ninety seven when russia introduce a new law that allows anyone to have a private plane for personal use so we can use a little i had to overcome a number of challenges because it is a self made aircraft i had to take a special certificate for the plane aviation experts had to acknowledge it is safe to operate so now i am a legal user of the flying space but this ship cheap families and bishan reaches even further. one day we took a globe and decided we wanted to go to the equator if you draw a straight line from the city of sue good to the equator you get to the multi-verse well this is the place we now dream of visiting together with my son there's only one thing standing in their way in the himalayas sergei sas he needs to obviate the
4:31 am
engine to increase the flying out to two huge and as we've come to learn for him not even the sky's the limit might in a question are. good luck to them now on the way wrapping the world's top stories into use needs but before that katie building is here with and to capitol. if you look at my generation of americans and even more so at the millennium there are a lot of people with all sorts of piercings and tattoos everyone wants to express themselves by getting the exact same cliched tattoos and piercings as everyone else but can we discriminate against these people because of their and out appearance normally people are against discrimination because it punishes people for the way
4:32 am
they were born their raise search gender but no one was born with big metal loops stretching out their ear lobes so essentially yes you can't judge someone by their tattoos and piercings because they got these done consciously as an adult i mean we all know that you need to dress up on a first date or job interview to make a good impression and well having the words thug life written up your forearm are not very convincing to me that you are going to make a valuable employee or girlfriend one of the worst things that we tell children is that you should never judge a book by its cover the problem is that no one has the time to open up all these books and investigate so obviously ninety percent of the time we're going to be judging each other by the cover of our book and if that cover is full of dead fetus tattoos like one guy i know that you should expect a lot of bigoted reactions over the course of your life but that's just my opinion .
4:33 am
gender trumping simple as it is that gender madness in swedish is getting here because i found this. project. seventy thousand. to investigate from a gender perspective. leg . of the tried to play play play play going to be. more. like for the story taking every minute. the luck may not. know what. lies ahead. plus the thing that some say the mole time place is mostly to
4:34 am
4:35 am
welcome to venture capital with me to kobe we are all the little breaks of the temperatures will now gradually begin to decline at least in this part of the world that away which means of going to cause even more for you show your means to keep warm when also coming up on business cold but it takes a hit britain's wages are in decline i want them to most there is international cost to capital to college he invested in last time he's found that magic will say we'll see how that works out old still to come but first of all we're going to get stuck in because the credit rating agency fitch has put a big spot in europe to reduce reliance on russian gas fitch says that europe will remain heavily reliant on russian gas for at least another decade and that with the lack of alternative source it is that means that the options well the limited at
4:36 am
least according to fit in a way and will remain so for at least the next ten years i can now we are talking to the editor of business in new you're always good to get you listen what did you make of the fitch report the findings europe still dependent on russia is a. indeed i mean it's a question of politics versus economics and right as it comes out of the crisis has been in five years we'll go back to growth and growth means you consume more energy and energy has to come from somewhere and the infrastructure these two huge pipelines that run into from russia to to europe is the infrastructure to deliver this energy. however the politics of it is that given the truly terrible relationships between europe and russia as a result of the ukraine for and indeed you know there was an increasing income for
4:37 am
ability of. russia over the past years but europe is looking for political reasons to diversify its energy supplies and get energy from somewhere else but there's nothing there to replace there's no other alternative to russian gas and i want to ask you we have had siphoning all falls gas before by you cry do you think that that could be another scenario getting into this winter. at the moment the ukrainian story is just full that's about fifteen thousand billion cubic meters of gas but that's not enough to get them through the wind winter they need another five to ten billion cubic meters and the problem ukraine faces has no money at all to pay for it and what they've done in the past is so simply siphoned off some of the gas that's on its way to go to places like germany western europe to customs other customers and they simply siphoned off what they need for themselves and then you know this is effect sort of stealing you have to pay for the gas or at least it
4:38 am
goes into their bill what they owe russian people have been saying we want to wind down our dependence on russian gas because it's an unreliable supplier of energy it's not a reliable supplier of energy and so much is said explicitly in the p.t. stick to its contract and the instability of the unreliable. reliability that's come into the equation is that you've got so bankruptcy in middle what happens when bendigo shape deciding on sanctions because they do have this dependency which is evident for everyone to see now what does that exactly mean all they can to be held hostage what is i mean held hostage i mean that implies the threat that russia will turn off the gas to your. curtain and said look he said that he will not do that and never do that but the irony of the situation is the only person as i said threatens to turn off russian gas supplies to europe is ukrainian something else in your city other day he said we might turn a crisis supply to the rest of europe as
4:39 am
a way of like striking back to russia and it would help russia because you know the gas remains the significance of. the current is very concerned about its reputation for reliability and would not do that and so therefore left in the city situation we're talking about sanctions through using shouldn't use it as a weapon and the russians are saying well we're not. these were printed in the mail using. threatening behavior once or threatening to ban areas thanks so much we appreciate your time as usual. in a powerhouse has a set of appalling days releases this week with business confidence down for a fourth month the lowest in almost a year this was on top of the no point two percent contraction in growth for the second straight quarter now in contrast the u.k.'s showed its strongest coarsely
