that they're coming to you live from moscow you're watching international. poland's foreign minister has been left red faced after a leaked 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 marina portnoy has more. anding love affair america and its atlanta 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
1:02 am
singing a much different tune the same polish official 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 glue this thing and have the u.n. help glue it and you know the washington refused to confirm the authenticity of miss nuland leaked comments instead blasting anonymous leakers for hacking a private conversation that's all part of america's rocky behind the scenes
1:03 am
relationship with many of its allies german chancellor angela merkel for example had stinging words over the u.s. approach privacy after she was targeted in washington's global surveillance operation and this is news mr german citizen superman is not a specific not a bone of the citizens we need to trust in this. story and the 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 raft but i think our underlying this strong alliance there is a rift every country should automatically 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 marina port ny r.t. washington well despite the tough language the polish foreign minister has actually
1:04 am
said out loud what many in poland a thinking at least that is according to political analysts. 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 when during the attack on iraq the 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 the public officials you know while they may speak to the public in very clear and articulate words behind closed doors in their personal interactions they can be quite obscene in and it's
1:05 am
a very different personality than what we see as the public. is the largest bank faces a multibillion dollar fine for breaching u.s. sanctions the french president slamming the punishment is unfair and disproportionate to what could be behind the top. forces in eastern ukraine say a woman has been killed in the shutting of the town of in the defined again by the sides agreed to observe the cease fire until friday morning but are accusing each other of breaking it. is following the situation in eastern ukraine. the anti-government activists people's republic of the gonski polls a republican have agreed to a cease fire which will last until it's wednesday seventh of 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
1:06 am
they're also said they're working on the freeing 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 died 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 to 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 the reporter schenkel and
1:07 am
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 it's a heading for an epidemic meanwhile the activists and anti-government activists seeing the latest 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 downed he's in control of the forces carrying out military operations in the east is international affairs expert alexander mccord is told r.t. if we look at organizations like right sector which are apparently present in the east they're paramilitary organizations they're not under the direct control of the
1:08 am
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 i doubt that the the government or mr poroshenko has really much control over them. now step on the gas so she is looking for ways to speed up the construction of a pipeline which would deliver russian gas bypassing ukraine moscow and brussels have been at odds over the project which has recently been frozen by the u.s. we've got more on this story just ahead. with france's largest bank b.m.p. perry barr is close to paying up to nine billion dollars to the u.s. for violating washington sanctions that's more than the bank earned last year and
1:09 am
the fine has been called unfair and disproportionate by the french president artie's peter oliver has got the details. french banking giant. and the u.s. regulators seem to be closing in on a deal which could see france's largest bank 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 of trades that were done with countries such as iran cuba most of all sit down that all appear on the sanctions list it's being discussed at the highest levels french president francois hollande is 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
1:10 am
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. the unprecedented size of the fine has left some wondering why. has to pay so much when the biggest such penalty paid by any bank so far was the two billion dollars fine handed out to britain's h.s.b.c. the french bank is now looking at almost five times that amount we asked journalist robert harneys why france is facing such tough measures and he believes washington is punishing paris for its stubbornness over the sale of mistral warships to russia . 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
1:11 am
a sharp rap over the knuckles for the french government for insisting on continuing of the sale of the mr hodder warships to russia i look at the sequence of events might draw that conclusion it just goes to show that it's a very expensive defining 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 plead guilty they'll be a trial if you plead guilty and give us a load of money and that's it seems that european politicians are capable of swallowing any humiliation from the americans. still to come in the program wanted dead or alive intelligence find it increasingly difficult to pin down jihad is fighting wars in the middle east on their return for the details of the story just to have.
1:12 am
a blast to rails a russian train in eastern ukraine while footage emerges of kiev troops shelling the russian border on their heavy artillery fire militants killed up to seventy in an attack on the iraqi police convoy we report from the collapsing state where israeli soldiers run some cartoons west bank bureau put their difference doesn't know. what other media turns a blind eye to you get on our t.v. . i think take a. look. at
1:13 am
this now and i. want to get the public likes to. thank him back and i was getting even harder for u.k. intelligence to track jihad is returning from morse in syria and iraq with those posing a security risk finding ever more elaborate ways to return home unnoticed or britain reported killed on the battlefield then fell into the hands of the u.k. police fit and well r.t. sarah ferguson 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 ports and then stood trial now there are concerns that social media
1:14 am
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 person 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 out to syria has gone to fight like why it's not everyone who will be returning after having been innocent in syria the tension 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 hear. more and more britons are turning to radical islam and going to
1:15 am
fight in syria and iraq and the issue is once again under the spotlight after two u.k. students have paid in a promo video posted online for an al qaeda offshoot in iraq when islamic human rights activist told us that the u.k. government is inconsistent policies and making matters worse. i believe is misguided policies of british government which actually have created this problem. now the british government is trying to blame it on really your city of muslim community and i think this is the real story the fact that it is the disarray of british foreign policy in sort of trying to support the opposition to start with and created this environment. large number of muslim youth are actually going all the way it is. a

us court has released a long secret memo in which the administration lays out its legal reasoning for killing an american citizen without g process of law the documents of course is left questions unanswered abby martin raises them in breaking a sweat. but you may remember that back in two thousand and eleven u.s. citizen and we're all lucky when the bin laden of the internet was killed by a u.s. drone strike in yemen for his 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 its killing and today the organization got its wish to see a federal court released a two thousand and ten memo by ben acting assistant attorney general david barrett that outlined the legal case for the strike that killed a lockheed unsurprisingly the obama administration memo relies almost entirely on
1:17 am
the authorization for use of military force the wrong word a 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 as those present here but hey laws are meant to be broken even if it means completely dismantling over three hundred years of habeas corpus. 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 full female prisoners underwent the surgical procedure with saying they were forced to do so more than a third of them were sterilized unlawfully with that they can send as many as twenty seven cases remain undocumented doped is never signing the necessary papers prison officials claim it helped save the state money while human rights groups say
1:18 am
the method is cruel and reminiscent of nazi methods of population control courtney hook from the justice now campaign discuss the issue without. legislators and prison officials alike that sterilisations were happening and then from that over sievers intermission that were happening and being offered at two 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 a sense. sadness of. having a human rights fully respected not being treated like a human feeling feeling taken advantage. of. a sadness around lost their way to get a child to give to a child in the future that's something that individuals are wanting and also discussing the after effects of some of these surgeries. wiemar thousands of

california prisoners are being caged for decades in what u.s. officials refer to call security housing units they are kept in concrete windowless eight by ten cells for nearly twenty three hours a day their food is slipped through a door slaughter one hour recreation is often limited to pacing in handcuffs and shackles in another solitary area telephone calls and contact visits a generally prohibited more than three thousand inmates enjoyed this treatment according to a report one hundred six spent fifty three have been locked up for a quarter of a century you can find more coverage of the humane treatment of u.s. prisoners in reports by artie's correspondent marina porter on our you tube channel or our web site at r.t. dot com. also online view at the moment the u.k. army may be getting too fat to fight the country's defense ministry has revealed

1:21 am
curing russian gas deliveries to europe bypassing ukraine it was earlier frozen by brussels citing possible violations of the brocks regulations but austria is urging to make exceptions for gazprom the contract maybe see all of this week as artie's pour 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
1:22 am
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 i'm 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 got vienna austria. but if the deal
1:23 am
is sealed south stream could start operating in twenty fifteen and would be able to pump over sixty billion cubic meters of natural gas every year and by two thousand and twenty it could be up to eighteen billion cubic meters and in ten years time deliveries of russian gas to europe could surpass one hundred forty billion cubic meters when austria is deputy prime minister of transport and technology says vienna is very interested with close cooperation with moscow. i think the times richer are perhaps polluted a little bit difficult it's really important to build bridges and more to. soar to. full strength that old world is still a relationship in the cultural circuit or in the cyclical science and technology and also come on make relations and so on false and powerful tools should be

to. try to improve to success stories so international news is very now a suicide car bomb for the crowded area seven suburbs of beirut in lebanon leading at least nineteen papal the blast occurred in a mainly shiite muslim district lawyer three recently has but three is the fighting alongside president bashar al assad's forces in syria against mainly sunni muslim rebels last friday another suicide attack near the syrian border left one person dead and almost forty people injured supporters of a prominent anti-government cleric and clashed with police in the pakistani city of lahore leaving more than forty people injured the preacher arrived from canada where he currently lives to spearhead a peaceful revolution against the country's prime minister police used tear gas to disperse the crowds last week eight of his followers were killed in clashes with
1:25 am
authorities and violence has broken out in brazil between maya police and protesters who are angry about the costs of staging the world cup and allegations of corruption by officials police in riyadh as you near are used to gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds demonstrations have been ongoing for more than a year over kinds of injustices related to the world cup. you're watching r.t. international up next nazi germany's key figure and his single handed manipulation of the media. some people say freedom isn't free and they're right in fact freedom may only cost the price of a bottle of water or an old t.-shirt fan celebrating the recent victory of the l.a.
1:26 am
kings noticed that they were not alone what was believed to be a police drone was flying over them filming them i thought of moral contempt for drones or just for the hell of it the crowd began to throw random objects out until it was brought down i think this event makes two very big points firstly a lot of the surveillance state is not that hard to stop i mean there are satellite photos being taken of us all the time and n.s.a. spying on a communications but any camera or other device than throwing distance of a brick is at the mercy of us ninety nine percent and secondly generally if a crowd of people does something few ever get punished i mean if this drone was actually a police drone would they try to lock up the entire crowd for breaking it no they wouldn't and they couldn't for some reason if one person commits an act of civil disobedience they are in ford but if a crowd does that they generally get away with it so if you're going to defend your right to privacy from drones bring fifty guys with you and everything will work out just fine but that's just my opinion.
1:27 am
well paul told me my language is all but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm likely to push the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it's six am a car is on a dock in melbourne. no more weasel words when you have a direct question be prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a battle freedom of speech and little down the freedoms of costs.
