anti-government forces in eastern ukraine say civilians have been caught in renewed army sharing is. fails to take hold meanwhile local officials raise the alarm over a severe water shortage. dozens of women have been illegally sterilized in four prisons in california and new poll revealed saying even more cases could have gone unnoticed. foreign ministers there faced after he was caught on tape using vulgar language to describe his country's relations with the us.

and i welcome it's nice to have you company you're watching international. government forces in eastern ukraine say a woman has been killed in the army shelling of the. in the defined lugansk region both sides agreed to a cease fire until friday morning but are accusing each other of breaking it. is following situation in eastern ukraine. the anti-government activists people's republic elegance peoples republic have agreed to a cease fire which will last until that's when t. seventh. june the sides are hoping to continue a dialogue continue consult the government sides they have asked for a complete stop of all movements all for ukrainian government forces around ukraine they're also said they're working on

a free in the always see reps here in eastern ukraine they are hoping this four day breather will give them a chance to do that and of course this is all good news for the locals in logan. areas who have been heavily bombarded by the ukrainian army over the last few weeks this will give them a chance to send to the wounded bury their dead and of course get food and water supplies into a badly devastated region meanwhile we've heard that at least forty children have designed as a result have been killed as a result all for this conflict some were killed by shelling some were killed as a result of direct gunfire it's hard to say whether this particular cease fire right now would stick because we've heard from a. governor. who said he's not going to listen to go and he said that say he will continue giving money to his hired guns until the

situation is over now the east of ukraine is certainly heading for a humanitarian catastrophe would there have no drinking water there right now local officials are saying that the region is heading for an epidemic meanwhile the activists and anti-government activists seeing. moves as a good sign and of course everybody hopes that this cease fire will actually stick this time around. well ukraine's president petro poroshenko earlier said he had a plan b. if his peace initiative doesn't work although some doubt he's in control of the forces carrying out military operations in the east as international affairs expert alexander mccord told r.t. if we look at it organizations like right sector which are apparently present in the east they're paramilitary organizations they're not under the direct control of the ukrainian government frankly i doubt that the ukrainian government has much

control even over groups like the national guard which are present in force in the ukraine in the eastern ukraine and which of course are recruited specifically from regions which are known to be hostile to the aspirations of the eastern ukrainians so i actually are dealt with the government or mr poroshenko has really much control over them still to come france's largest bank faces a multibillion dollar fine for breaching u.s. sanctions but the french president is slamming the punishment as unfair and disproportionate. pollens foreign minister has been left red faced after a conversation allegedly heard him use vulgar language to describe his country's relations with the u.s. and it's not the first time leaked tapes of e.u. officials have revealed the dark side of brussels love of washington artie's miniport has more. anding love affair america and its atlantic partners

consistently proclaim their rock solid loyalty and mutual admiration as friends and allies we stand united together. warsaw has reciprocated the affinity always leaving the door open for a u.s. footprint within its borders. very glad to be able to say the american friendship and alliance is a strong behind the camera friendly facade of solidarity western partners are singing a much different tune the same polish officials seen here reportedly calls his nation's alliance with the u.s. worthless insisting it creates a false sense of security in a secretly recorded conversation obtained by w magazine foreign minister wratislaw sikorsky is purportedly heard comparing warsaw and washington's relationship to that of someone who's always performing sexual favors and receiving nothing in return preceeding poland's vulgar tone one of america's top diplomats has exhibited

her penchant for profanity dropping the f. bomb when referencing european partners so that would be great i think to help blew this thing and have the u.n. help glue it and you know the washington refused to confirm the authenticity of mr nuland leaked comments instead blasting anonymous leakers for hacking a private conversation that's all part of america's rocky behind the scenes relationship with many of its allies german chancellor angela merkel for example had stinging words over the u.s. approach to privacy after she was targeted in washington's global surveillance operation this is in the interest of german citizens it is not a specifically about a bottle citizens we need to trust and this. story critics say mounting frustration on both sides of the atlantic is making it harder for the western alliance to camouflage

a steady. erosion of loyalty and cooperation they don't want to publicly acknowledge that there is a rest but i think underlying this this strong alliance there is a rift every country should ultimately be thinking about itself if there is a drift between the e.u. and. the united states but this time around is really very serious. r.t. washington d.c. . well despite the tough language the polish foreign minister has actually said out loud what many in poland are thinking that's according to political analysts kind of more pain. kind of obscene and somewhat racist words it was articulated what i think a great deal of the polish people probably feel poland supported the united states during the attack on iraq being what george w. bush called the new europe but yet they've gotten nothing out of it the polish people are suffering under extreme measures of austerity and now there are u.s.

troops piling in their country using it as a place to threaten russia and i think that this phone call that was leaked kind of revealed revealed that i think that some of the anger was is widespread it's also interesting to point out that you know that in light of this in the recent victoria nuland tapes that in a lot of instances you know that the public officials you know while they may speak to the public in very clear and articulate words behind closed doors and their personal interactions they can be quite obscene and and it's a very different personality than what we see as the public still to come step on the gas austria's looking for ways to speed up the construction of a pipeline which would deliver russian gas by saying you crying brussels have been for the project which has recently been frozen by the e.u. we've got more on this story just ahead. france's largest bank. is close to paying up to nine billion dollars to the u.s.

for violating washington sanctions that's more than what the bank. and the fines being called unfair and disproportionate by the french president. has got the. french banking julian. and the u.s. regulators seem to be closing in on the deal which could see from. having to pay up to nine billion dollars in fines for directly violating u.s. sanctions now this relates back to around thirty billion dollars worth. with countries such as iran cuba and most of all sit down that all appear on the sanctions list it's being discussed at the highest levels french president francois . warned of the potential fallout for the french and even the wider european economy if this company faces such a stiff fine barack obama has said well he isn't going to poke his nose into an ongoing investigation by the attorney general so he's not provided going to try and

interfere in this case but with the french economy still very wobbly best pessimists are suggesting that this type of fine meted out on to france's biggest bank could be potentially catastrophic so we're waiting to see what deal is met between the french bank and the u.s. banking regulators we're expecting that decision at the beginning of july well the unprecedented size of the fine has left some wondering why bar has had to pay so much that the biggest such penalty paid by any bank so far was the billion dollar fine handed britain's h.s.b.c. the french bank is now looking at almost five times that amount. well washington is also pressuring paris to cancel its sale of mistral warships to russia which is under american sanctions over ukraine journalist robert honeys lays france's being black my. my own conclusion i have no proof of this but my own conclusion is it's

to do with the sale of warships to russia this is a sharp rap over the knuckles for the french government for insisting on continuing to say that the beast will ships to russia i look at the sequence of events might draw that conclusion it just goes to show that it's a very expensive defying uncle sam the bank has accepted it because they want to go on doing business in america but i think when people have time to think they're not going to be very impressed by this behavior by the american government which is a sort of blackmail because basically the the system is you say well if you don't keep guilty don't be a trial if you plead guilty you give us a load of money and that seat seems that european politicians are capable of swallowing any humiliation from the americans. still come in the program wanted dead or alive u.k. intelligence finds its increasingly difficult to pin down jihadists fighting wars

in the middle east on their return home we've got the details in a couple of minutes. to get this right. people are going to be. here. for the story taking every minute. our last call well. my last wife. was setting all. these cases. it. sometimes feels like. it's. just you still will be. if you see the state it will be.

each other. again now it's getting even harder for u.k. intelligence to track jihad is returning from wars in syria and iraq with those posing a security risk finding ever more elaborate ways to return home unnoticed a u.k. citizen reported killed on the battlefield bem fell into the hands of the british police fit and well r.t. sarah firth has the story. reports circulating on social media of the death of

a potential british jihadist now he was subsequently arrested trying to reenter the country david port and then stood trial now there are concerns that social media reports of his death were an attempt to cover his reentry into the u.k. so it's that kind of thing that british security services are going to be looking extremely closely at indeed now a couple of days ago the former m i six chief warns the burson security services can't afford to track everyone who might be returning to the u.k. after having gone to fight in syria and now potentially iraq of course not everyone who's traveled to syria has gone to fight alike why it's not everyone who will be returning after having been innocent in syria potentially iraq will pose the same level of threat but of course what the british government know what the security services know is that it only takes one and that's what is going to prove the real

challenge ensuring that no one slips through the net here so absolutely no doubt about it the scale of the challenge that now faces britain security services absolutely here. the nightmares the conflicts in syria and iraq are pushing more and more britons towards radical islam this issue is once again in the spotlight after two u. k. students are paid in a promo video posted online for an hour offshoot in iraq and it's the u.k. government's inconsistent policies that are making matters worse as one islamic human rights activists told us. i believe is misguided policies of british government which actually have created this problem. now the british government is trying to blame it on the really just city of the muslim community and i think this is the real story the fact that it is. the story of british foreign policy in sort of trying to support

opposition to assad to start with and created this was a. large number of muslim youths are actually going all the way to syria. well r.t. discussed the issue with american foreign policy analysts as matt is me and he says it's america he's behind the chaos in the middle east. i think the u.s. is their number one force for destabilization them in the middle east and the way they've done it with iraq is for many by invading a quiet and i think this the isis invasion is the third one the third us invasion and this time they're doing it by proxy. when the us took over iraq in two thousand and three and there was nothing but instability between the sanctions and the invasion about. three million iraqis died so if genocide is

stability then of course and call what the us doesn't iraq stability otherwise obviously it's not. following for you at the moment the u.k. army may be getting too fat to fight the country's defense ministry has revealed shocking figures of those failing basic fitness tests and being at risk of grave health problems more details on the reported just a click away. also there a flight of fancy a pizzeria in one russian city turns to drives to get its deliveries out on time to find out how it's being carried i watched a video on our website. right on the scene. search string. and i think that you're. on our reporters twitter. and instagram.

today in the. a damning report has revealed dozens of american women have been illegally sterilized in prisons in the u.s. state of california one hundred forty four female prisoners underwent the surgical procedure more than a third of those didn't sign an agreement showing they understood their choice prison medical officials defended themselves while human rights groups called the method cruel and reminiscent of eugenics called the hook from the justice now campaign discuss the issue with our take we're sure legislators and prison officials alike that sterilisations were happening and then found out from all receivers intermission that were happening and being offered at. prisons in california a couple of years later so we made it very clear that they were illegal but

received claims that people weren't aware or that he didn't know that the surgeries were happening across the board there is the sense. that this. having it in the rates fully respected not being treated like a human feeling feeling taken advantage do. said mr brown lost the lady to get the child to give to a child in the future and that's something that individuals are wanting and also discussing the after effects of some of these surgeries. now australia is pushing to speed up the south stream pipeline project aimed at securing russian gas deliveries to europe bypassing ukraine it was earlier frozen by brussels citing possible violations of the blocks regulations but austria is to make exceptions for gazprom and the contract may be sealed this week as artie's paul scott reports now from vienna. well russia hoping that later on tuesday the agreement can be set in

stone the signing of the contract to be overseen by russian president vladimir putin it will mean that the work on the south stream on austrian territory comes again in earnest how the south stream is set to transport gas from russia to europe but bypassing ukraine is seen as a more reliable and stable source on a more stable route with tensions between russia and ukraine continuing to increase austria is keen for the work to be completed despite divisions within the european union divisions that have led to this is pension of work in vogue area earlier this month people garion prime minister decided to suspend work on the pipeline following a meeting with three u.s. senators including john mckay the official reason being given was that they suspended work to iron out concerns that european union competition laws had been breached however many within russia feel that the decision was politically motivated book areas decision to suspend work has had

a knock on effect serbia for example might have to do likewise however they are keen for the work to be completed their president quoted as saying the south stream will guarantee the long term energy security of serbia and create conditions for boosting the domestic economy in italy officials are saying that italy will continue to support the south stream which is among the most strategically important projects on the continent well despite some countries wavering washington and the e.u. trying to delay construction the signing of the agreement in vienna into the south stream is one step closer to becoming reality post got to be an ostrich. well if the deal is sealed south stream could start operating in two thousand and fifteen and would be able to pump a sixty billion cubic meters of natural gas every year by two thousand and twenty it could be up to eighty billion cubic meters and in ten years time deliveries of russian gas to europe could surpass one hundred forty billion cubic meters but

austria's deputy prime minister of transport and technology says vienna is very interested with close cooperation with moscow. i think. times which are. perhaps political a little bit difficult it's very important to build creatures and not to ground so . always so the information should. be cultural so. sick of science and technology and also that come on make relations and so we're all powerful tools should be. to. try to improve his success stories. for us courses released along secret memo in which the administration lays act his legal reasoning for killing an american citizen without due process of law the documents of course is

left questions unanswered not be martin raises the mole in breaking a sweat. but you may remember that back in two thousand and eleven u.s. citizen and we're all lucky coin the bin ladin of the internet was killed by us drone strike in yemen first association with al qaeda now a lock is just one of four u.s. nationals that have been killed by their own country's predator drones and for nearly three years the a.c.l.u. has demanded to know the justification behind his killing and today the organization got its wish see a federal court released a two thousand and ten amendment by ben acting assistant attorney general david baron but it outlined the legal case for the strike that killed a lockie unsurprisingly the obama administration memo relies almost entirely on the authorization for use of military force a broadly worded law passed in the immediate wake of september eleventh that allows the president to use force against members of al-qaeda but even the memo notes that quote there is no precedent directly addressing the question in circumstances such
