these men spall out across the city were about to approach the cap and balance on steps to switch off the camera deep in the forests it's easy to see why they've set up base here everything is camouflaged making it difficult for the ukrainian army to find them. we're now at the military training camp and we're off to see them do training with knives this is training for close combat but a whole which ones comes with the ukrainian army is not planning on close combat fighting the hit from bombing with heavy artillery like in sloviansk in donetsk the guys here come from just about every background you have for students you have a form of businessmen you have former drivers and you also have ex-military and police so you have people with a lot of military experience but you also have some for whom this is the first time that they're picking up a knife or a gun and so the sharing of skills and experience is vital and the guys have told

me to put two of these in my ears because there's going to be a hell of a noise. the automatic weapon training is the most important bettman keeps tight control over his men many still have families inside ukraine and while we constantly about them. it's not becoming a war it's already a war. most of the guys are citizens of lugansk city they're highly motivated they're between the ages of twenty and thirty five when i asked one of them whether there are enough people here to take on the ukrainian military his answer was there's enough the. but how many more need to die before the kiev government itself to please enough is enough to stay on t.v. outside two guns eastern ukraine. more insight on how the self-defense forces are preparing themselves for battle and follow paul on twitter she's posting extremely

self-defeating and stupid to members of the public and even some of the residents who we've spoken to who live here he want to see the spikes removed. it's a it's almost obscene i mean i was really offended when i saw myself because i thought it's it's sending an awful bad message to homeless people you know that say and move from here don't come back but move somewhere else and i think that's that's not going to solve the problem but others supported it one resident coming out and really relieved the ban is protesting the spikes the finger of blame is pointing towards one of the private properties management company but they say fall fails to respond to our question other areas of london to you have seen stimulus measures like this supermarket an essential london high street charity that is being documenting the writing number of painless in london say this simply isn't

the way to deal with the issue well the london mayor's office points to the fact that they've already invested thirty four million pounds in schemes like no second night out designed to try to ensure that rusty has never spent more than one evening on the streets the reality though from what we're told by homeless charity . indicates is that homelessness and rust sleeping is an ongoing and growing problem and this latest controversial and. indication of just how far person still has to go in tackling this is. reporting for us from london. by storing debate on twitter with well many people expressing their disgust of those who are supporting the measure. to follow the reaction continues to get. now with just two days to go

before the launch of the world cup in brazil the celebrations are being overshadowed by massive street protests in the country's largest city south paulo the city was called to the standstill over the past few days by a transport workers' strike over low pay as crowds took to the streets police force back with tear gas and stun grenades meanwhile half the city's metro stations are out of action and traffic gridlock took over the city so now the run up to the sort of man has been marred by public anger with tens of thousands joining a march just last week over the massive over use of public funds. and the global media are in no mood to give brazil an easy ride ultimately taking every opportunity to highlight organizational failures the lack of security and problems with accommodation for the many of thousands of. british journalist graham phillips he's in rio de janeiro for ati international. so here rio is the city's iconic

copacabana beach outside decides it wants to be the main fans in here as it undergoes construction with just two days until the world cup begins to zero the host of the world cup should be a celebration for any nation particularly what is famously football obsessed as penna the brazilian national team has won the world cup five times that's a racket but the reality is this cokie resumes in the headlines for all the wrong reasons it's the most expensive world cup in history cost of over eleven billion dollars that's a record in a country which still struggles with poverty we've seen actions across brazil protests at events such as the clear the failures and rising inflation and the conditions which of secret ports where they work is killed on world cup construction site that's a feeling of general dissatisfaction its course throughout the country we have had the surveys there was even one showing seventy two percent of brazilians only this month feeling negatively about the world cup we have in some quarters the sentiments of the time for this mark to pass the night with a world cup imminent kicking off in two days of brazil's downtimes day the twelfth

of june it could be the time to show some love for this once in a lifetime this truly international event the world cup here in brazil this is great for those with r.t. . so plenty of setbacks for brazil but nevertheless there's also plenty of enthusiasm for the tournament a financial correspondent joyce alvarez believes that that are over one so once the world cup gets going people will be able to put the negativity far behind. in the past two weeks the mood had changed i'm basing some part of that and last week there was also a real these and you know the data that i got from c.d.'s is that people are starting to get really sort of parties in the celebrations i think for now long we can expect to people to be more in a positive mood because. i think from now on they saw this film goes it was for it the president is very well it's close to meet there's nothing more we can enjoy against the worst not so let's celebrate and that are coming up here on r

they spent rescuing the electric car company. has just been brought up by a chinese manufacturer we chose its sights set on the u.s. market details here with r.t. correspondent marina portnoy. america's costly loss has turned into a big gain for its number one global competitor chinese auto parts dealer the want shang group has purchased a deep funk to the u.s. electric car company that actually failed to pay back nearly one hundred forty million dollars to american taxpayers before declaring bankruptcy to school automotive receive the federal funds you want to see energy department's advanced technology vehicles manufacturing loan program and shortly after getting cash in hand the company collapsed one chang group acquired fisker its saturday supplier and the patents in the u.s. bankruptcy auction painting one hundred forty nine point two million dollars the

chinese company reportedly plans to turn around and sell the same plug in car to u.s. markets by the end of the year now the irony of the situation is that one chang's founder are chinese billionaire has reportedly been trying to break into the auto industry for decades turns out the opportunity came courtesy of a washington with u.s. citizens footing the bill unfortunately american taxpayers will not recruit the one hundred thirty nine million that was paid into this car in a very savvy strategic move on the part of the chinese they want to dominate the next generation of automotive which is the electric vehicle market this acquisition of this is just part of a long term plan the fact that the u.s. government extended millions of dollars of loans to this company and then let the company go bankrupt and then let a foreign entity purchase that technology shows the lack of long term planning

on the part of the u.s. industrial policy the new chinese auto owner reportedly plans to produce the formerly u.s. owned electric cars in finland however one chang is said to be considering the. thank you for us production in the future imagine a scenario where china is. running from new york. city. now the. drop in the bucket over the last decade the chinese have been spending. up american assets and the latest major deal with the acquisition of america's largest smithfield was estimated to. be a dog. people in the flooded.

a. mission to teach creation why it should care about. this is why you should care only. morning here in moscow thanks for joining us for the program the united states is expanding its military presence in europe sending to be two stealth bombers to the baltic region it's part of the second major nato exercise in the area in the space of two months defense analyst ivan eland he sees this as a show of strength to intimidate russia. well it's just symbolic presence i mean those b. two bombers can hit the hit russia from their base in surrey but there they've been transferred to england in there's also their nuclear capable fifty two

straddle fortress aircraft and in. britain as well there's five planes total so i think that's also the state to russia saying well united states is a nuclear power and we have to protect our allies and i was willing to go. to and including the nuclear threshold and maybe above that to defend them now a deal on russian natural gas supplies to ukraine is looking increasingly uncertain with the payment deadline set by moscow expiring today supplies will be cut off unless overdue bills are paid all covered or a new agreement is reached and now you're remains heavily reliant on russian gas pumped via ukraine but despite that brussels is pushing to freeze the south stream pipeline project which would have provided an alternative supply route now bug area hold good work on the pipeline citing e.u. recommendations the prime minister of serbia then said the construction of its

section would go ahead as planned despite both gary his position and it appears the us may well be involved in the situation as well the decision to freeze the work on the south stream pipeline came hot on the heels of a meeting with american senate's its former us treasury official poll craig roberts he believes washington is forcing europe to jeopardize its energy interests. question the pipeline is really up to europe it's not up to wash it's the europeans say well look we don't want to take those risks with our energy lines just so washington can beat up on russia then the pipeline will continue the problem with the existing pipeline joining through ukraine is ukraine through russia faces the prospect that trying to supply europe through the pipeline through ukraine would result in shaft the gas ukraine which can't pay its

gas but my point is washington doesn't share anything they could do russia it wipes out their allies they could care less about the e.u. is seeking to diversify its gas supplies to reduce its reliance on russian gas about a third of the natural gas it consumes does come from russia now geopolitics as well as the rise of gas prices in europe because ultimately forcing europe to tonga coal which is a relatively cheap source of energy now as you can see here we bring you up some issues on auto international the e.u. coal consumption has been steadily rising compared to the use of natural gas and that's despite environmental campaigns to reduce carbon emissions and cut back on highly polluting fuels even in germany known for its commitment to alternative energy it's no exception as ati's pretty or all of us now reports. the black hearts at the center of the green dream in germany coal is back in vogue

. this. as regards climate mitigation it's an issue that runs deep in government they hope to be able to generate a massive eighty percent of energy from renewables like solar and wind by twenty fifty while getting rid of nuclear. and the only other option then to keep the lights on in europe's most robust economy is to increase the use of coal by thousands of tons a year that's monitor this misstep plan this isn't how it was planned we wanted to increase renewables while lowering c o two emissions we've done the first part but at the same time we're having to burn more coal to meet demand so our c o two emissions have gone up rather than down in early june the local authority near this

pits agreed to remove a further two hundred million tonnes of brown coal from the open cast mines in the area up to twenty twenty six that germany is ramping up its use of this particular type of code that produces a lot of carbon dioxide deeply concerns environmental company most. of us from all the scientific results we have the inevitable result of the continued use of brown coal would be a global catastrophe the effects will be felt worldwide. but it's power plants like this that are needed if germany is to continue its economic cutting edge as well as prevent household energy prices from soaring. coal has a massive role to play for many years if we want to secure an affordable source of power. germany has the second highest reserves of brown coal on the planet those in charge of this operation question the government line that the only future is renewables. chancellor merkel is

a doctor of physics and i'm sure she realizes that those laws can't be broken if we want to use power as we do we need not just now but over the next two to three decades despite the country's green lobby pushing for more wind and solar power it does seem that the only really reliable source of energy for germany at the time being is coal peter all of a germany. are to some of the international headlines for you in brief we'll start with the severe flooding in southern brazil that's widespread overflows caused by torrential rains that have left at least nine people dead and three more missing a state of emergency has been declared in seventy seven towns with army helicopters deployed to rescue some of the thousands of people left without shelter in the flooded areas include the state of parana whose capital is one of the twelve host cities of the world cup which starts in just two days. a gun wielding married couple who shot dead two police officers and scuse me two police officers in las

vegas they reportedly followed white supremacist ideologies the attackers through a swastika symbol on the body of one of their victims before heading to a nearby wal-mart shop where they killed a bystander who tried to stop them surrounded by police the twenty two year old female shooter killed her husband and then committed suicide it's the third gun massacre in the western u.s. in the space of three weeks. all right thanks for joining us here on out international on the risk you show here just a few minutes it will be a boom bust with an air an aide stay with us. this immediately though so we leave the media. by the scene lucia secure. for your

that we're tracking for you today. first up the kickoff to the twenty fourteen a world cup is just days away for brazilians aren't necessarily welcoming the games with open arms now we're bringing you part two of my interview put forth the economist victor matheson he's telling us about the very wide range of issues facing the. world cup both economic and otherwise and the european central bank is moving into chartered waters without a man to get a better understanding of what's going on in your own land dr ben steele is on the program senior fellow and director of international economic council of foreign relations is filling us in on what exactly is being overseen c.v. and in today's big deal edward harris and i are discussing debt forgiveness and the rebalancing risk in our economy let's get to.

our lead story today brazil now for the next couple weeks you can't and won't mention brazil without mentioning the world cup for better or worse and with the kick off only a couple days away protests are exploding throughout the country not really an optimal time for brazil that's for sure now brazil has a lot and i mean a lot at stake here at the world cup is the most watched televised fourteen event in the world and brazil hasn't posted it in over sixty years so making a good impression is imperative for the country especially in light of the fact that brazil's wizardry of economic growth has been waning as of late now in the past three years brazil's growth has slowed significantly since its boom years throughout the two thousand which was largely fueled by the country's vast natural resources and heavy investment in china in the past few months however their stock

market has waned and inflation has soared but if the tournament goes well it could help prove to global investors that despite its problems brazil still is not a horrible place to put your money however for those protesting the cup is a symbol of how there are countries that can. hasn't improved their daily lives many believe that the roughly eleven billion dollars spent preparing for the world cup could have been better spent on social programs for the poor poverty is a massive issue in brazil and the world bank estimates that nearly sixteen percent of the country lives in poverty according to a study by the pew research center seventy two percent of brazilians surveyed are dissatisfied with things in brazil today which is up from fifty five percent one year ago and about six out of ten brazilians say hosting the world cup is a bad thing for brazil because it's taking money away from public services like health care and education and to make matters worse soccer protests.
