ukraine's army targets the restive east with tillery far leaving one village practically braced to the ground. a training camp of self-defense fighters who say they're preparing to take on the government forces. running on fumes ukraine faces having its gas supplies by russia risky of a so far failed to pay its multibillion dollar debt but that deadline expiring at midnight. pakistani taliban militants storm a security training camp near the international airport in karachi that's less than two days after a siege that killed at least thirty eight people. it's almost obscene i mean i was

really offended when i saw himself anger frustration from locals at the so-called. spikes designed to deter rough sleepers from the streets. r.t. international. calls by ukraine's newly elected president petro poroshenko to stop the military offensive in the country's restive east appear to have rung hollow as heavy artillery fire has already left one village in ruins what you're seeing now is footage of the devastation in sim your left the locals say that there is not a building left intact after the army reportedly pounded the village with the multiple rocket launchers for days as the pro-government forces step up their assault the local self-defense forces are saying that they will stand to be

a future of these bullets live reports now from one of the training camps. we are with the anti-government fighters were on the way to a training camp here in the city of new gun square not telling us exactly where this camp is because of security reasons that many how much time would it take us to get their. cigarettes it's a question that 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 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 that ukrainian military static is to attack from behind so he's had his main 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. where now at the military training camp and we're also to see them do training with knives this is training for kurds come by but a whole which ones comes with the. plan. close combat fighting the heat from the bombing with heavy artillery like in slovyansk 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. i the automatic weapon training is the most important bettman keeps trying to 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. but how many more need to die before the kiev government itself to clear is enough is enough force the r.t. outside to guns eastern ukraine. haulers been reporting the latest from eastern ukraine on her twitter feed she is quoting don't yet scott fish and who say that two children have been killed in slavyansk in the army shelling. the.

deadline is once again looming for ukraine kier the news to cover its massive overdue bills for gas otherwise supplies could be halted as soon as wednesday the deadlock has been turning heads in europe. on russian gas pump vayu crane rushes energy giant gazprom a stress that these supplies would not suffer unless care start siphoning gas from the pipelines which it has done before despite the use been pushing for a freeze in the south stream pipeline project that's designed to provide an alternative supply route brussels has demanded that bill garia halt work on the pipeline citing violations of e.u. laws however both bulgaria and the second in the line of construction some bet serbia have pledged their full commitment to the project former u.s.

treasury official paul craig roberts he believes that europe is jeopardizing its energy interests too to pressure from what. christian type live is really ought to europe it's not up to watch it's the europeans say well look we don't want to take this risk with our lines just sort of washington can beat up on russia then the pipeline will continue problem with the existing pipeline dreaming through ukraine news ukraine through russia faces. trying to supply europe the route the pipeline through ukraine. and gas ukraine which can't pay its gas but my point is why some doesn't share anything any make you do hurt russia it wipes out their our lives they could care less. well the use of the relies on russia for about

a third of its natural gas consumption and in a bid to lessen that show it appears as though brussels is being forced to take a step back and turn to an old school source of energy coal made rising fuel prices the coal consumption has been steadily rising compared to the use of natural gas and that is despite massive environmental campaigns to reduce carbon emissions and cut back on highly polluting fuels even germany known for its commitment to alternative energy has been no exception as our correspondent peter oliver explains . the black hearted the center of the green dream in germany coal is back in vogue we see a renaissance of coal combustion and naturally this is a desire to the crude debility of germany's as regards climate mitigation it's an issue that runs deep in miracles 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 tonnes a year and it 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 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 to kill a type of coal 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 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 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 germany. do stay with us here on r.t.

as we look at the countdown to the world cup in brazil will the found love for sport. national airport in pakistan that's less than two days after the facility was besieged by the pakistani taliban that resulted in at least thirty eight deaths in this latest incident the militants attacked a security training facility at the airport official say heavily armed gunmen on motorbikes stormed the building via two different entrances security forces repelled the attack after almost an hour journalist a sandbag explained to me earlier on what could be fueling that unrest. the war in afghanistan the bombing of tribal areas use of u.s. drones has radicalized people and has. meant to the say on pakistani society and to the us intervention each complete destabilization of pakistan and i have been some recent suggestions that perhaps they could be paced because in

recent ago ca sions we of course are the u.s. handing over an american soldier for five taliban to taliban in afghanistan and so we have to say we had engaged. with the taliban up until two thousand and twelve they broke off those negotiations we've had no formal relationship since then so maybe this will be a new opening that can produce an agreement and yet it all sounds perfectly good and well we still see the u.s. attacking the taliban in pakistan so it's not fairly inconsistent i think the u.s. is foreign policy is inconsistent and i think that's a good word to some the policy of keep in mind that the pakistani taliban and the fun of two separate entities and even within the pakistani taliban there have been recent splits emerging after negotiations with the peace talks so you know the americans may pull it out they may stop all warfare but actually the drone strikes

will continue and that will still be a major factor in the radicalization of many people in pakistan and afghanistan so i don't think that the terrorism and these attacks will stop any time soon until we see a complete stop of foreign intervention in those areas. meanwhile in iraq another country struggling to contain an insurgency militants have take control of the entire province of niver in the north earlier they also seized iraq's second largest city of mosul forcing police and army forces to flee. stations were set on fire nearly three thousand prisoners escaped from jail fighters are believed to be from an al qaeda affiliated group that's responsible for a vast majority of bloody and ruthless attacks in the country in a separate assault also today twenty people were killed when a funeral procession was bombed sixty kilometers north of baghdad. well for

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 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 for me. 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 it's in 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 angrily removes the ban is private property management company but they say fall fails to respond to artie's questions this isn't

a new phenomenon as we're told by angie ferris he spent six years homeless on the streets of london stream be dangerous it's very lonely it's very very hard you don't know where the next new is coming from because you have no positions you have no money homeless people have nothing if they're on the street they have this place literally to sleep on which they are now at the moment. you know that's the place they have to sleep that's their home that is all they've got there's nothing else in the world i think that's very sad don't you think other areas of london to you have seen similar measures like this supermarket in essential london high street charities that had been documenting the rising number of homeless 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 instead . it's like no second night out designed to try to ensure the rough sleepers never

spend more than one evening on the story the reality though from what we're told by homeless charities and from what the biggest thing to indicate is that homelessness and rusty thing is an old going and growing problem and this latest controversial anti home this fight for the kids to have the sad indication of just how far person still has to go in tackling this issue served reporting for us a from london still to come for you this hour sold off chinese firm nobs an american electric car maker the went bankrupt despite receiving millions of dollars of taxpayers' rescue money more on the story after the. belmont told him a language of what i will react to situations i have read the reports from i'm like . no i will leave the state department to comment on your matter. to

secure your comments on the dog you know gonna. make you know more weasel words. when you made a direct question be prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for a. pretty speech and a little down the street into my. face is changing the world right next. to picture of today. from around the globe. dropped. welcome back you're watching r.t. international next for you this hour the united states is expanding its military

presence in europe sending a pair of b. two stealth bombers to the baltic region it's part of the second major nato exercise in the area in the space of just two months defense analysts if a lens explains that it is 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 and with their they've been transferred to england and there's also their nuclear capable fifty two straddle fortress aircraft in. britain as well they're spy 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 and now we're willing to go. to and including the nuclear threshold and maybe above that to defend them. because one of the stories we just mentioned chinese companies are on

a shopping spree in the u.s. investment doubled in twenty thirty reaching a record high of fourteen billion dollars over the past decade the chinese been buying up firms in sectors ranging from energy and food right through to entertainment the biggest deal yet was last year's purchase of america's largest pork producers smithfield and in most recent case a taxpayer backed electric car company was sold to a chinese manufacturer. as well the details america's costly loss has turned into a big game for its number one global competitor chinese auto parts dealer the want shang group has purchased a deep long us a lecture car company that actually failed to pay back nearly one hundred forty million dollars to american taxpayers before declaring bankruptcy this girl automotive received the federal funds was energy department's advanced technology vehicles manufacturing loan program and shortly after getting cash in hand the

company collapsed one shang group wired 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 now the irony of the situation is that one chang's founder chinese billionaire has reportedly been trying to break into the auto industry for decades turns out the opportunity came courtesy of the washington with u.s. citizens footing the bill unfortunately american taxpayers will not recruit the one hundred thirty nine million that we speak 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 us 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 us 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 potential for u.s. production in the future imagine that a scenario where china is bringing manufacturing back to american morning from new york marina for nine arts. some news in brief from around the world now first of all the crew of the sunken south korean ferry faced a preliminary trial on tuesday with a hearing attended by dozens of the victims relatives captain and three others are charged with murder and potentially face the death sentence the restaurant used of negligence in violating ship safety rules the tragedy in april claimed the lives of

. and the global media isn't letting brazil off the hook easily highlighting all the failures from security problems to organizational pickups such as changes in seating plants but his journeys graham phillips he is in rio de janeiro r.t. . some here rio of the city's iconic copacabana beach outside decides it wants to be the main fans in here as it undergoes construction just two days into the world cup begins to brazil the host of the world cup should be a celebration for any nation protecting what is famously football obsessed has been filmed the brazilian national team has won the world cup five times that's right good but the reality is that this talk of humor is similar to 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 fella's a rising inflation with the conditions which of secret forty eight work is killed

on world cup construction sites that's a feeling of general dissatisfaction as crews throughout the country have had the surveys there was even one showing seventy two percent resilient 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 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 there may have been plenty of set backs in the preparations for such a big tournament that hasn't led to a lack of enthusiasm a national correspondent joyce alba says just days before the first match most brazilians are thinking of nothing but sport. in the past two weeks the mood had changed. raising some problems and last week i was also in religion they had all the data that i got from this to see it is because that people are starting to get really sort of parties in the celebrations at the end for now all. we can expect to

people to be more in a positive mood. because for me i think from now on this film goes it we'll explore it we're going to have three well that's close to meet there is nothing more we can do against the worst so let's celebrate and. well we'll be back with more news for you at the top of the hour after the break that was a show that is never dull max and stacy untangle the fruit of scandals and go from the european central bank coming up in a concert whose. 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 populated areas of the breakaway republics so who is the actual target of randomly shelling populated areas well if we turn on our brain 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. contemporary history of yugoslavia is formation as a prosperous and peaceful country was considered to be a success story that socialism. and in many regards it was the most developed. whom was his teacher of democracy and market economy if any republic in yugoslavia wanted for the us a 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. image. and punish it harshly for every slightly less some unlearnt the serbs started before

the serbs are legal riginal because of the war they are the complete aggressors and wrongdoers. bomb because. bombs will. bomb all of tofu kitchens so it's a new it's expensive to poo assist and be multi-ethnic society to live in harmony and show not. what was forgotten to be told feel about yugoslavia the weight of chains on our teeth. i am max kaiser and this is the kaiser report you know do you like the vix well the big spikes yeah oh. i was

a song goga. things he wanted but the folks going on are well well first of all max tell people what the vix is oh well if the volatility index you know it's a contract that traders can buy and sell to hedge themselves against volatility however the vix is like everything else is being manipulated so it's not giving a good price signal it's like you take the batteries out of the of smoke detector in your home so your house could be on fire and you don't have a smoke detector because it took the batteries out so you don't leave the house even though the flames are engulfing you in your family like i don't hear the smoke detector so must not be a fire so the vix is completely manipulated so it doesn't tell market participants it doesn't give them a signal about the true volatility and it's just another piece of the overall way that markets are being destroyed to service

a few kleptocrats well all of these rigged indexes around the world in price signals i think is a form of chumming it's basically thrown into the water it's encouraging the seals a minnow is a little fish and little chubby humans to get into the market waters to get eaten by the sharks now i for have this tweet here max vixen.
