poland's foreign minister is left red faced after he's caught on tape using vulgar language to describe his country's relations with the u.s. . government forces in eastern ukraine say civilians have been caught in renewed army shelling is the green ceasefire fails to take hold meanwhile local officials raise the alarm over a severe water shortage and dozens of women have been illegally sterilized in full prisons in california a new report reveals saying even more cases could have gone unnoticed.

or they with r.t. international coming to you live from moscow. now poland's foreign minister has been left red faced after a leaked 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 revealed the dark side of brussels love of washington artie's marina portnoy 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 glue this thing and have the u.n. help glue it and you know the washington refused to confirm the authenticity. 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 needs to her 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 wreck but i think that 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 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 said what many in poland thinking at least that is according to political analyst

khaled moping. 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 and and it's a very different personality than what we see as the public. coming up shortly from

his largest bank faces a multibillion dollar fine for breaching u.s. sanctions but the french president slamming the punishment as unfair and disproportionate we look at what could be behind the tough. anti-government forces in eastern ukraine say a woman has been killed in the shelling of the town. and the defiant region both sides agreed to observe a cease fire until friday morning but are accusing each other of breaking it. is following the situation in ukraine with live to enact. a truce was declared but on the ground it seems the story is very different. absolutely while the cease fire which was announced the initiative by the other parchin call and was confirmed by their representatives d.n.r. and eleanor by the answer gov and government activists was supposed to last until the twenty seventh all five june until seven am g.m.t.

well apparently that is not happening your apps to their rights a woman had been killed according to government forces and one other woman was injured more over another railway had been blasted in the. region so the ceasefire is basically nonexistent at this point now the army shelling had become an everyday reality for the people here and slide down scanned guns can and has sky region as well and this is all leading to a humanitarian catastrophe already there is a lot of cold water shortage basically people in this live in the gonski area haven't seen water for at least a few weeks so we can see people lining up to get water supply and we see use of these top five best kilometers long local officials are saying that this is all going to lead to an epidemic naturally well the cease fire would show was

announced and confirmed by the anti-government forces on monday was supposed to help the locals said to the wounded bury their dead and of course repair the water supply routes food and electricity as well meanwhile here in the done that region the officials are saying that the water is becoming scarce diesel that's now i hear from them. in this body and we need shelling has disabled the pumping station two people were killed there others were injured i'm sure you will as workers at the station. with the ukrainian army is deprived two and a half million being in waters on. just boil in the middle on the cheek of the. local water authorities are saying that they have enough reserves to give a waters of locals for twelve days what's going to happen after this it's all but they're saying only

a couple of weeks more water left and then that's it. ok well things from artie's roman cost of life for us there from eastern ukraine. crane's president petro poroshenko earlier said he had a plan b. if his pace initiative doesn't work although some diety is in full control of forces carrying out military operations in the east as international affairs expert alexander mccord 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 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 host on to the aspirations of the eastern ukrainians so i

actually i doubt with the government or mr poroshenko has really much control over them. so to come step on the gas austria's 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 way we've got more on this in a few minutes time. france's largest bank b.m.p. perry bars close to paying up to nine billion dollars to the u.s. for violating washington's sanctions there's more than the bank last year in the fine has been called unfair and disproportionate by the french president. as the. french banking giant b.m.p. put 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 alarmed is warned of the potential fallout for the french and even the wider european economy if this company faces such a stiff fine. 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 the case but with the french economy still very wobbly best the 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. between the french bank and the u.s. banking regulators we're expecting that decision at the beginning of july. on the

unprecedented size of the find has left some wondering why b.n. pain power has to pay so much the biggest such penalty paid so far by any bank 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 but we asked journalist robert 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 a sharp rap over the knuckles of the french government for insisting on continuing of the sale of the beast warships to russia i look at the sequence of events and i draw their 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 system is you say well if you don't plead guilty don't be a trial if you plead guilty you give us a load of money and that's it seems that european politicians are capable of swallowing any humiliation from the americans. you're watching r.t. international are going to take a quick break now but when we come back it's a case of wanted dead or alive you can tell you can find it increasingly difficult to pin down jihad is fighting wars in the middle east on their return home we've got the details just ahead. on marinated in the fine asshole moral. act is to go home and campaign and started it arrogantly take the credit. in life there are moves and there are votes.

ok so now i. want to get the public likes to.

in order to get unlike six u.k. citizens returning from wars in syria and iraq are using every means possible even faking their own deaths in britain reported killed on the battlefield then fell into the hands of the u.k. police fit and well. as 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 person security services concert for 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 and likewise it's not everyone who will be returning after having been innocent in syria and potentially iraq who plays the same level of threats 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. more and more britons are turning to radical islam and going to fight in syria and iraq and this issue is once again in the spotlight after two u.k. students appeared in a promo video posted online for now qaida offshoot in iraq one islamic human rights activist told us that the british government's inconsistent policies are making matters worse. i believe is the misguided policies of british

government which actually have created this problem. now the british government is trying to blame it on really the 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 created this involvement. in large number of muslim youth or actually going all the way to syria. now here escorts is released along secret memo which the administration lays out its legal reasoning for killing an american citizen without due process of law the document of course has left many questions unanswered abby martin raises them in breaking the set a little later on. but you

may remember that back in two thousand and eleven u.s. citizen and we're all lucky the bin laden 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 its killing and today the organization got its wish to federal court released a two thousand and ten amendment by ben acting assistant attorney general david banner that outlined the legal case for the strike that killed a lockheed 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 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. meanwhile the damning report has revealed dozens of american women have been illegally sterilized in prisons in the u.s. state of california prison officials claim it helps save the state money while human rights groups say the method is cruel and reminiscent of nazi methods of population control one hundred forty four female prisoners underwent a suitable procedure with former inmate saying they were forced to do so more a third of them were sterilized unlawfully with that they can send as many as twenty seven cases remain undocumented with doctors never signing the necessary papers courtney hook from the justice now campaign discussed the issue with ott. we're short by legislators and prison officials alike that sterilizations were happening and then found out from all receivers 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. that mr brown having a human rights fully respected not being treated like a human feeling bush feeling taken advantage. of. a sadness around lost the way to get the 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. the californian prison system has long been the target of criticism thousands of inmates are being jailed for decades and what u.s. officials prefer to call security housing units they are kept in concrete windowless cramped cells for nearly twenty three hours a day and their food is slipped through a door slot one hour recreation is often limited to pacing and handcuffs and

shackles in another solitary area and telephone calls and contact visits are generally prohibited where more than three thousand inmates enjoy this sort of treatment and according to a report one hundred six have spent fifteen years in the cells while twenty three have been locked up for a quarter of a century. you can find out more about the inhumane treatment of u.s. prisoners and reports by artie's correspondent marine important on are you cheap channel or website r.t. dot com also there at the moment the u.k. army may be getting too fat to fight the country's defense ministry has revealed shocking figures of the use of failing basic fitness tests and being at risk of grave health problems with more details in our report which is just a click away. or so online. flight of fancy a piece or a in one russian city turns to drones to get its deliveries out on time to find out how it's being carried out watch the video at our website.

right to see. first street. and i think that your. on our reporters are going. to be. on. that austria is pushing to speed up the south stream pipeline project aimed at securing russian gas deliveries to europe by bypassing the ukraine it was earlier frozen by brussels citing possible violations of the blocks regulations but austria is a to make exceptions for gazprom and the contract may be sealed this week 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 can begin in earnest now the south stream is set to transport gas from russia to europe but bypassing ukraine is seen as a more reliable and stable source 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 spent in of work in vogue area earlier this month people gary and 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 and 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 police got vienna austria. and if that deal is done sats train could start operating in twenty fifteen and would stop pumping enough natural gas to keep a third of homes warm for a year by twenty twenty supplies would increase by something life thirty percent and in ten years time from now they could be a whopping one hundred forty billion cubic meters per year and that would mean

a quarter of europe's needs politicians say they are keen to close cooperation with moscow. i think. times richer or perhaps polluted a little bit difficult it's really important to build bridges and. saw. the whole world is still an intrusion shoots the controls. switched off science and technology. relations and so all powerful tools should be to. try to improve to use success stories. but a quick look at some other stories now a suicide car bomber has hit a crowded area in the southern suburbs of beirut in lebanon wounding at least nineteen people the blast occurred in

a mainly shiite muslim district loyal to the militia. the group has been fighting alongside president bashar al assad forces in syria against mainly sunni muslim rebels last friday another suicide attack near the syrian border there one person dead and almost fourteen people injured. supporters of a prominent anti-government cleric have clashed with police in the pakistani city of lahore leaving more than forty people injured there the preacher arrives from canada where he is currently living 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 authorities and the landslide sparked by heavy rain has hit the brazilian city of the tao many houses have been destroyed one of them completely swallowed by a sinkhole along with several cars the flooded area is only four kilometers from the stadium where it's legal to play your of y. in the will on cheese day. up next many young people are

failing to find financial security even after graduating from college. everynight explains why in ping bust bite off the brain. 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. kings notice 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 at it 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 been 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 troll 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. well know polder my language as well 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
