one hundred fifty million degrees with one talk among. themselves from st petersburg to france the trouble in search of the song. we've got the future covered. forces in eastern ukraine refused to surrender kiev continues to talk to cross the region there on the program training the self-defense fighters. ukraine's government fails to meet a deadline set by russia to start paying off its debt and supply could be cut off today if the talks bring no breakthroughs. and zero tolerance for rough sleepers london's so-called defensive it's triggering. coming up and we'll be telling you how. one london. international outcry

media. all of us are of. very well welcome to you. live from moscow and there is no letup in the ukrainian government's military offensive in the east of the country and despite a pledge from the new president. to broker a cease fire with. in the meantime an entire village has been almost completely razed to the ground let's bring up some footage for you here on the program barely a building left. in the streets remain deserted the village has been pounded by. locals say the army used multiple rocket launchers against them but as kiev steps

up its operation self-defense forces. now reports from one of. the government on the way to a training camp here in the east. city of new gun square not telling us exactly where this camp is because of security reasons bettman how much time going to take us to get there. if. it's a question but we all know when we get there bettman was a former officer with the ukrainian elite police before switching sides only a month ago he commanded a team of just twelve men today they numbered more than one hundred and are growing by the day all of them volunteers each with a code name to hide his identity how is the situation on the ground at the moment good which people are very scared the city is preparing for war we're evacuating women and children from the city bettman says the ukrainian military static is to

attack from behind so he's had his main sprawled 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 where now at the military training camp and we'll also to see them do training with knives this is training for close combat but i hope which ones come through that the army is not planning on close combat fighting the hit from the air bombing with heavy artillery like in sloviansk in donetsk the guys here come from just about every background you have former students you have 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 batsman keeps tight control over his maiden many still have families inside ukraine and when we constantly about them. it's not becoming a war it's already a war. most of the guys author dozens of guns to city they're highly motivated they're between the ages of twenty and sixty 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. but how many more need to die before the kiev government itself declare is enough is enough to see our team outside to guns eastern ukraine. and for more insight on how the self-defense forces are preparing themselves for battle simply for a call on twitter she's posting regular updates and also striking images right out

of eastern ukraine. i am. a deal on a russian natural gas supplies to ukraine is looking increasingly uncertain with the payment deadline set by moscow expiring today the taps will be shut off unless overdue bills are covered or a new agreement can be reached europe remains heavily reliant on russian gas pumped via ukraine but despite that brussels is demanding a free use of the south stream pipeline project which would have provided an alternative supply route now paul garia halted work on the pipeline citing e.u. recommendations the prime minister of serbia then said the construction of its section would go ahead and head as planned despite ball gary his position in the meantime moscow has criticized brussels efforts to hold back the project calling them on constructive international oil export. things the e.u.

is actually shooting itself in the foot. they are punishing themselves because as you appreciate the european union although it's a huge economy could block politically it doesn't have much a great influence the influence is between the united states and i and of course china so they are actually punishing them send and if they impose sanctions only jazz and lies from russia to the utopian you know you know they will be imposing get it and get it close because the and i shined up lies can never be the least in the short and always supplies if they have to look for oil in the middle east and that means that the price of oil will go up because most of middle east that are all in goes to the asia pacific region so it doesn't

help then when i was in any way they would be actually thinking themselves and the e.u. is now seeking to diversify energy supplies to reduce its reliance on russian gas about a third of the natural gas it consumes comes directly from russia but geopolitics as well as a rising gas prices are forcing europe to turn cold which is a relatively cheap source of energy but it is very very dirty let's bring out some details for you here on the program the e.u.'s coal consumption has been steadily rising compared to that of the natural gas you can see it right there and that's despite environmental campaigns to reduce carbon emissions and cut back on the highly polluting fuels even germany known for its commitment to alternative energy is no exception as ati's peter all of. the black hearted the center of the green dream in germany coal is back in vogue way see the

renaissance of coal combustion. naturally this is a disaster to the credibility of germany's cadential as regards climate mitigation it's an issue that runs deep in america's 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 europe's most robust economy is to increase the use of coal by thousands of tons a year and that was mr 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 tons 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 cold that produces a lot of carbon dioxide deeply concerns environmental campaigners. from other 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 its 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 on. 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 coal 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 over r.t. germany. the united states is expanding its military presence in europe it's now sending a pair of b. two stealth bombers to the baltic region as part of the second major nato exercise in the area in just the past two months and defense analyst ivan eland he sees this all as a show of strength to try and 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 they're they've been transferred to england and there's also their nuclear capable fifty two straddle fortress aircraft and in. britain as well they're spying planes total so i

think that's also a statement to russia saying well united states is a nuclear power and we have to protect our allies in willing to go. to and including the nuclear threshold and maybe above that to defend them so they come in the program here we're not the international brazil facing an uneasy world cup the orange have a close look at where the patriotism and football fever will shine through the street protests on the unfavorable media coverage as well. now in the program tackling homelessness is never an easy task but a wealthy london neighborhoods approach to the problem is certainly been raising a few eyebrows shop metal spikes have been installed outside doorways to prevent rough sleepers from settling down for the night vesta gates with cerified. what these small spikes have caused were all on social media over the last couple of

days the so-called anti homeless by the more like the sort of thing that you see on windows to prevent pigeons from landing there but it seems that these have been installed to prevent homeless people from sleeping rough in this spot and it sparked widescale debate with everyone from the mayor of london who called them ugly 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 do you 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 angrily removes 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 artie's questions other areas of london to have seen similar measures like this supermarket in essential london high street charities that had been 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 the rust leap is never spend more than one evening on the streets the reality though from what we're told by homeless charities and promote the biggest thing to indicate is that homelessness and rusty thing is an ongoing and growing problem and this latest controversial anti homeless by the perhaps the sad indication of just how far. person still has to go in tackling this is. reporting for us from london on the spikes are also dividing

a record high of fourteen billion dollars the chinese have been buying up firms in sectors ranging from energy and food to entertainment as well the biggest deal yet was last year's acquisition of america's largest pork producers out of smithfield and in the most recent case the taxpayer backed electric car company was sold to a chinese manufacturer more on this now with these very important. 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 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 the u.s. energy department's advanced technology vehicles manufacturing loan program and shortly after getting cash in hand the company collapsed one shang group acquired

fisker its saturday supplier and the patents in the u.s. bankruptcy auction paying 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 and 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 is 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 shang is said to be considering the for . functional for us production in the future imagine a scenario where china is bringing a factory to. bring from new york. or to. people in a flooded village getting a bit of a shock when the hulking piece of military hardware. adjoin. into a continental ballistic missile floated right into. sheltering inside and out where it came from on our website right now. schoolchildren in oklahoma are

thanks for joining us here on r.t. international today as we get into the let's start with this just out of afghanistan nato now saying five of its soldiers have been killed in an attack in southern afghanistan and no details have yet been given on the nationalities of the victims or exactly where the incident occurred this brings the total number of nato dest to thirty six just so far this year in afghanistan to the united states now where a gun wielding married couple who shot dead two police in las vegas are believed to have been white supremacists the attackers left a swastika symbols in the apartment of one of their victims before heading to a nearby wal-mart shop where they killed a bystander who tried to stop them and surrounded by police the twenty two year old female shooter then killed her husband before committing suicide is the third gun massacre in the western united states in the space of three weeks. and widespread

flooding in southern parts of brazil have left at least nine people dead three more missing a state of emergency has been declared in seventy seven towns with army helicopters deployed to rescue many of the thousands stranded in the worst affected areas include the state of parana whose capital is one of the twelve host cities of the upcoming world cup. and indeed with the tournament due to launch on thursday celebrations are being overshadowed by massive street protests in brazil's largest city that of sao paolo the city was called to a standstill over the past few days by transport workers strike over low pay as crowds took to the streets police for them back with tear gas and stun grenades meanwhile half the city's metro stations were out of action traffic gridlock took over the city center sao paolo has become the main focus of national discontent over the massive cost of venues and infrastructure built for the world cup much of

which has still not been completed in fact one of the flagship projects a new monorail partially collapsed in sao paulo on monday killing one construction worker. and other global media while there are no mood to give brazil an easy ride either taking every opportunity to highlight or get organizational failures security failures problems with accommodation for the many thousands of fans british journalist graham phillips sees in rio de janeiro for oxy. so here rio is the city's iconic copacabana beach and the sun 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 want to stay mostly football obsessed as concealment of brazilian national team has won the world cup five times that's right good but the reality is this kochi 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 what are the conditions which of secret ports where they work is killed on world cup construction sites that's a feeling of general dissatisfaction is cursed throughout the country we have had the surveys there was even one showing seventy two percent of resilience early this month feeling negatively about the world cup we have in some quarters the sentiments of the time for this mark to pass the knot with the 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. . plenty of setbacks for brazil but nevertheless there's also plenty of enthusiasm for the tournament of course financial correspondent joyce alvarez she believes that once the world cup gets going people put all the negativity far behind them. in the past two weeks the mood had changed i'm basing some powder and last week

there was also a real these and you know the data that i got from this to see it is is that people are starting to get really sort of parties in the celebrations i think for now. we can expect. people to be more in a positive mood because. i think from now this all goes it will be less for its residents very well close to meet there is nothing more we can do against the worst not so let's celebrate and. thanks for joining us here in our international days able to speak out and we're about to find out why the u.s. department of agriculture calls millions of wild animals every year what's the purpose and out next break in a sad. recent

events in ukraine definitely have a wide range of interpretation both russia and the west accuse the other of doing a lot of meddling some people call those who are fighting out east separatists or terrorists but others call them a people's militia fighting the kiev and this sort of situation everyone has their bias and it's hard to tell what is going on but i can tell you one thing in a sea of opinion the kiev side is using artillery and fact there have been numerous reports of artillery strikes like the one that just a few days ago hit the sales of hope orphanage which was thankfully empty at the time why is our tour such a big deal well if you send guys with guns in the fight they're going to see their target dry to kill it but artillery shoots targets they can't even see they just throw shells at a general location and interestingly enough many locations seem to be in populated areas of the breakaway republics. so who is the actual target of randomly shelling populated areas well if we turn on our brains for

a second we can see that artillery is one of the worst ways to take out a specific threat in a local population but it sure is a good way to eliminate the entire local population because maybe that's who the quote threat actually is but that's just my opinion. to try to. pull it out of. your life or if you're preaching everybody. know what. my life like to. say. this is going to lead to. some things from

nothing. this season and. it's not just you still can still be just if you see the stage take a look to be slightly teach others. to. play. the game. what's happening folks i'm happy martin and this is breaking the sat so sadly is sometimes animals have to die mostly because they're considered invasive species and can harm the biodiversity of ecosystems if their populations are allowed to reach out of control numbers not to mention their ability to. destroy property farmland and spread diseases as such the u.s.

department of agriculture comes out with an annual list detailing all of the animals the wildlife services department has killed over the past year all the numbers are in for two thousand and thirteen and it turns out that the wildlife services exterminated over four million living creatures just in the last a year but surprisingly according the u.s.d.a. own report nearly half of the animals killed were classified not as invasive species but native species is included animals from gray wolves to beaver in fact last year wildlife services killed over seventy five thousand coyote's twelve thousand prairie dogs nearly one thousand red tail hawks five hundred river otters former black bears and even the reek golden and bald eagles yes a bald eagle america's national treasure that was just taken off the national debt injured endangered species list a few years ago why would they kill this majestic bird you might ask we have no

idea because perhaps the most disturbing part of all is that there's almost nothing in the report detailing the reasons for the killings or the method the department uses not to mention there's zero accountability when it comes to mistaking the killing creatures that it never should have been targeted in the first place organ representative peter de fazio told the wildlife services quote one of the most opaque and obstinate departments i've dealt with we're not really sure what they're doing wow gee that sounds promising fazio along with california congressman congressman john campbell are now launching a full investigation into wildlife services to account for the secrecy so if you don't think that taxpayers should be subsidizing animal murder and mass join me and let's break the. the piece of the game was terrible to say the i'm very hard to take.
