one london c. international outcry own say still media. news live from moscow for me and the whole crew here welcome to today's program there's no letup in the ukrainian government's military offensive in the east of the country despite a pledge from the new president. to broker a cease fire. an entire village has been almost completely razed to the ground as you can see we'll show you pictures there's barely a building left. in the streets. people. used multiple rocket launchers against them but i.

reports from one of. the government says we're on the way to a training camp here in the city of new gun. they're 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 secret but we'll 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 number 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. 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 these men sprawled out across the city were about to approach the cap and balance on steps to switch off the camera dever 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 training camp and we're also to see them do training with knives this is training for close combat but i hope which ones come through that. means not running those combat fighting really from mom with her children like. the guys here come from just about every background you have for students you have former 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. be automatic weapon training is the most important betterman keeps trying to control over his command. many still have families inside ukraine and what we constantly about them. need it's not becoming a war it's already a war over most of the guys off citizens of a new gun city they're highly motivated they're between the ages of twenty and fifty 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 typically is enough is enough for you see on t.v. outside sometimes eastern ukraine. for more insight on how the self-defense forces are preparing themselves for battle you can just follow follow on twitter she's

posting regular updates and fresh images straight out of eastern ukraine. be and. thanks for joining us a deal on russian natural gas supplies to ukraine is looking increasingly fragile with a payment deadline set by moscow expiring today the taps will be shut off unless overdue bills are covered or a new agreement is reached europe of course remains heavily reliant on russian gas pumped via ukraine but despite that brussels is demanding a freeze of the south stream pipeline project which would have provided an alternative supply route now bald garia has stopped 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 ball gary is precision it appears the us may be involved in the situation as well the decision to freeze the work on the south

stream came hot on the heels of a meeting with american senators former u.s. treasury official paul craig roberts he believes washington is forcing europe to jeopardize its own energy interests the. the pipeline is really up to europe it's not up to watch it's the europeans say well look we don't want to take those who risk with our energy supply lines just sort of washington can beat up on russia in the pipeline will continue problem with the existing pipeline churning through ukraine news ukraine. through russia faces the prospect that trying to supply europe through the pipeline through ukraine would result in shatt gas ukraine which can't pay its gas bill my point is washington doesn't care anything make you do hurt russia it wipes out their allies

they could care less so 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 straight from russia but geopolitics as well as growth in fuel prices a forcing europe to tons of coal which is a relatively cheap source of energy though it's very very let's bring out some of the details here not international the e.u. as coal consumption has been steadily rising compared to the use of natural gas you can see the difference right there and that's despite environmental campaigns to reduce carbon emissions and cut back on highly polluting fuels even germany known for its commitment to alternative energy is no exception as a t. correspondent peter all of the reports. the black hearted the center of the green dream in germany coal is back in vogue we see the renaissance of coal combustion. naturally this is

a disaster to the credibility of germany's 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 in europe's most robust economy is to increase the use of coal by thousands of tons a year. this is not how it was a plant and we wanted to increase renewables while lowering c o two emissions. first but at the same time we are having to burn more coal and. so our c o two emissions have gone up and down in early june the local authority me at this pace agreed to remove a further two hundred million tonnes of brown coal from mines in the area up to twenty six that germany is ramping up its use of this to kill

a type of code that produces a lot of carbon dioxide deeply concerns environmental campaigners. 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 govern. the 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 and still to come in the program for you here on r.t. international brazil facing an uneasy world cup launch look at whether patriotism and football fever will shine through the street protests and unfavorable media have. a ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital tackling the homelessness it's never an easy task but a wealthy london neighborhoods approach to the problem has certainly raised some eyebrows sharp metal spikes have been installed outside doorways to prevent rough sleepers from settling down for the night is ati's terrified. well these small spikes have caused roll 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 so as to prevent pigeons from landing there but it seems that these have been installed to prevent homeless people from sleeping rough in the sport and it sparked widescale debate with everyone from the mayor of london he 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 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 fifteen stimulus measures like this supermarket an essential london high street charity that is being documenting the writing number of pay mr 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 scenes like no second night out designed to try to ensure the russkies has never spent more than one evening on the streets the reality though from what we're told by homeless charities and from what the figures seem 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 were. and still has to go in tackling this is. reporting for us from london and the n.c.

home of the spiders are also dividing opinions on twitter some have called them inhumanely. just simply exercising their rights full details the reaction is well get involved if you like it. still to come on the program here on r.t. international too big to fail too big to sell a chinese. american that went bankrupt despite receiving tens of millions of dollars of taxpayers' rescue money. react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm like. no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your part of the month to secure a car is on the job here no. thank you no more weasel words.

when you question the prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for. freedom of speech and down to to freedom. there's a famous line in jaws where the fishermen on the boat one of them says we're going to need a bigger boat i mean this is what the european central bank has told the market that the fraud is so enormous at this point that in order to accommodate another ten to fifteen trillion dollars worth of credit default swaps and derivatives suddenly fraud they're going to expand their balance sheet by ten to fifteen trillion euros they need a bigger boat. the international chinese companies are on a shopping spree in the u.s.

investment doubled in twenty thirteen reaching a record high of fourteen billion dollars now the chinese have been buying up. energy and food to entertainment the biggest deal yet was last year's acquisition of america's largest producer smithfield foods and in the most recent case the taxpayer back to electric company was sold to a chinese manufacturer more on it now with. 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 you want to see 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 satirise supplier and the patents in a 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 now the irony of the situation is that one chang's founder are chinese billionaire has reportedly been trying to break the auto industry for decades turns out the opportunity came courtesy of 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 for the 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 you production in the future imagine a scenario where china is trying to. bring from new york. city. quite a shock. it was found with. the details of.

now i. want. to.

thanks for joining us the united states is expanding its military presence in europe now sending a pair of b. two stealth bombers to the baltic region it's part of the second major nato exercise in the area it's number two in just two months defense analyst ivan eland he sees that all of this as a show of strength in an attempt 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 they're they've been transferred to england and there's also there are nuclear capable b.

fifty two straddle fortress aircraft in. britain as well there's five planes total so i think that's all they need 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 into the world update now starting with the gun battle that's broken out just outside pakistan's busiest airport and militants carrying rocket launchers and high caliber firearms have attacked a training facility for karate international airport security staff the men stormed the building via two different entrances around one thousand police officers have been sent to the site right now no information yet been given on the number of gunmen involved or possible casualties of course the airport was taken siege by the pakistani taliban on sunday that resulted in thirty six.

nato now saying five u.s. soldiers have been killed in southern afghanistan one local subbasement also died in the attack in these a bull province and the alliance has given no further details but afghan sources are saying the deaths were caused by friendly fire this brings the coalition death toll in the war zone to thirty six since january most of the remaining western troops are due to be withdrawn by the end of this year. and to iraq where islamic extremists are reportedly released around three thousand prisoners after storming several jails in the northern city of mosul the city is now in full control of the group known as the islamic state of iraq and levant radicals are holding the local airport along with administrative buildings and depots the army and local officials have fled the city. to brazil where widespread floods in the south of left at least nine people dead and least three more missing

a state of emergency now declared in seventy seven towns with army helicopters deployed to try and rescue some of the thousands who are stranded the worst affected areas include the state of the capital is one of the twelve host cities of the upcoming world cup. in fact with the world cup due to launch on thursday celebrations are being overshadowed by massive street protests in brazil's largest city of sell. the city was brought to a standstill over the past few days by transport workers having a strike open low pay as crowds took to the streets police fought them with tear gas and stun grenades meanwhile half the city's metro stations were out of action and traffic gridlock took over the city center. has become the main focus of national display over the massive cost of venues and infrastructure built for the world cup much of which has not yet been completed and found one of the flagship projects and new monorail actually collapsed in sao paulo on monday killing one

construction worker. and the global media in no mood to give brazil an easy ride taking every opportunity to highlight organizational failures security issues as well problems and accommodations for the many thousands of fans and british journalist graham phillips reports from rio de janeiro. so here rio is the city's iconic copacabana beach house some of the sights of what's to be the main things i'm here to talk to ghost construction we just today should sort of woke up begin to brazil the host of the world cup should be a celebration for any nation potentially one is famously football obsessed has been sealed in the brazilian national team has won the world cup five times that's right kids but the reality is this will computers elicit 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 fail is

a rising inflation with the conditions which of secret ports and they work is killed on world cup construction sites there's a feeling of general dissatisfaction as crews throughout the country we have had the survey said it was even one showing seventy two percent resilience early this month feeling negatively about the world cup we haven't seen it which is the sentiments of the time for this moment to pass the now 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. so plenty of setbacks for brazil but nevertheless there's also no shortage of enthusiasm for the big world cup tournament correspondent joyce alvarez says she believes that once the whole tournament gets going people will brush the negativity to the side. in the past two weeks the mood had changed i'm basing some powder and last week it 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 to be this for it the president is saying well you close to meet there is nothing more we can do against the worst not so let's celebrate and. it's been a pleasure having you with us here and also international today all research i had moscow the mikes and stacey our next they'll be untangling the fraud scandals and golfing the european central bank one of the cars or a ball that's next. 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 the 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 try 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 pop. it 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. on temporary history of yugoslavia formation as a prosperous and peaceful country was considered so be a success story of market socialism and in many regards it was them open the development. room was his teacher of democracy and market economy if any republic in yugoslavia wanted for the us it would have to break away from yugoslavia and declared its independence ok it's not a conspiracy theory it's not my speculation it's not my analysis it's a public. and punish it

harshly for every slight to let some on learn the serbs started this war the serbs are the original cause of the war they are the complete aggressors and wrongdoers. is a bomb because. that. small. ball is told to kitchens six of them new ones own so. cool assisted the multi-ethnic society to live in harmony and. what was forgotten to be told you about cuba slobby the weight of chains on our teeth.
