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 for the french government for insisting on continuing of the sale of the mist all ships to russia are armed i look at the sequence of events might 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 the system is you say well if you plead guilty they'll 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 out international are

5:17 am
gas from russia to europe but bypassing ukraine is seen as a more stable on a more reliable route with tensions between russia and ukraine on the increase austria do want the agreements we signed on to won't walk on the pipeline to start that's despite deep divisions within the european union divisions that have seen on the pipeline in bulgaria suspended earlier this month that prime minister decided to suspend walk on the pipeline following a meeting with three u.s. senators including john mccain now the official reason being given all the work being suspended is that what was suspended in order to iron out concerns of the e.u. competition rules had been breached however there are many within russia who feel that the decision was politically motivated and that bo garia was up pressurised into that decision by the european union well bulgaria's decision to suspend the work on the pipeline is how to knock on effect serbia for example might have to do
5:18 am
likewise and put the plans on the back burner however they all came for the work to be completed their president has been quoted as saying that the south stream will guarantee the long term energy security of serbia and create conditions for boosting the domestic economy while italian officials are also kaine as well saying it's he will continue to support the south stream which is among the strategically important infrastructure projects the south stream will further strengthen the existing gas supply while in bulgaria of course the country that is at the moment suspended the walk even the prime minister has been quoted as saying that he project will go forward but only after they was over all issues that they have with the european union despite the fact that some countries all wavering on the in washington are trying to delay construction on the. strain the fact that the agreement could be signed here later on tuesday in vienna austria means that the south stream is one step closer to becoming reality. thanks but we'll leave it
5:19 am
there that's artie's paul scott live from vienna thank you. now if the deal is done south stream could start operating in twenty fifteen and would start pumping enough natural gas to keep a third of homes warm for a year by twenty twenty supplies will be increased by as much as thirty percent and in ten years from now they could be a whopping one hundred forty billion cubic meters per year and that would meet a quarter of europe's needs politicians they say they are cane for close cooperation with moscow. think. times richer are perhaps polluted a little bit difficult it's really important to be preachers and. saw. the whole world is. relationships the cultural sort of sick joke science and technology and also come on make relations and so all powerful

authorities. and a landslide sparked by heavy rain has hit the brazilian city of the town 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 italy will play europe why in the world cup a little later on tuesday. now u.s. court has released a long secret memo in which the obama administration lays out its legal reasoning that killing an american citizen without due process of law the document of course has 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 word is
5:22 am
ation got its wish to federal court released a two thousand and ten amendment by ben acting assistant attorney general david barrett that outlined the legal case for the strike that killed a law keep on surprisingly 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. the taste of the break of breaking the set a little later on next that here not internationally it's the kaiser.

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 fans celebrating the recent victory of the l.a. kings noticed that they were not alone what was believed to be a police troll was flying over them filming them either out of moral contempt for drones or just for the hell of it the crowd began to throw random objects. 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 the 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
5:24 am
actually a police drone would they try to lock up the entire crowd for breaking it no they wouldn't and they could and for some reason if one person commits an act of civil disobedience they are in for it but if a crowd does it 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.
