6:06 am
as a result of that heavy artillery fire moreover cayle says right now expanding to the central ukraine as well and it's up are all just a railway was blasted meanwhile the the shelling continues here in the eastern ukraine as well as the region is heading for a humanitarian catastrophe the army shelling had become an everyday reality for the people here and slide down scanned guns can and has a region as well there is a lot of cold water shortage basically people in this life and haven't seen water for at least a few weeks local officials are saying that this is all going to lead to an epidemic naturally the cease fire would show was announced and confirmed by the end together and forces on monday was supposed to help the locals said to the wounded bury their dead and of course repair the water supply road scene while here in the
6:07 am
donetsk region the facials are saying that the water is becoming scarce diesel that's now here from them is pretty and we need a venue the shelling has disabled the pumping station two people were queuing there others were injured i'm sure you will as workers at your station. with the ukrainian army is depriving two and a half million being in waters on her present spoiling the meeting on the local water authorities are saying that they have and off reserves to give a water so locals for twelve days what's going to happen after this it's unknown. ukraine's president petro poroshenko earlier said he had a plan b. if his peace initiative doesn't work although some doubt he is in full control forces carrying out military operations in the east as international affairs expert alexander cory's told r.t. if we look at organizations like right sector which are apparently present in the east the paramilitary organizations they're not under the direct control of the ukrainian government frankly i don't with the ukrainian government has much control
6:08 am
either no 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 to the aspirations of the eastern ukrainians so i actually i dealt with the government or mr poroshenko has really much control over them a step on the gas 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 e.u. more and that just to have for you. france's largest bank b.m.p. party by 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
6:09 am
the fine has been called on fair and disproportionate by the french president be all over as the details. french banking giant. in the u.s. regulators seem to be closing in on the 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 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 barbara 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 at best
6:10 am
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 is met between the french bank and the u.s. banking regulators we're expecting that decision at the beginning of july and president in size of the fine is left some wondering why b.m.p. parra by has to pay so much the biggest such pound paid by any bank so far was a two billion dollar fine handed out to britain's h.s.b.c. the french bank is now looking out most five times that amount we asked journalist robert harneys why france is facing such tough measures he believes washington is punishing paris for its stubbornness over the sale of mr all warships to russia. my only conclusion i have no proof to my own conclusion is the sale of washington to
6:11 am
russia 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. i draw that conclusion it just goes to show that it's a very expensive defying. 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 peek guilty they'll be a trial if you plead guilty and give us a load of money and that seat seems that european politicians are capable of swallowing any humiliation from the americans oh yes shows how he justified a killing of an american citizen without due process of law later this hour flora how the newly released drone memo reaganites the long running controversy on how legal americans counterterrorism program really is.

6:18 am
suspend welcome the pipeline following a meeting with three u.s. senators including john mccain now the official reason being given to pull the work being suspended is that what was suspended in order to concerns of the competition had been breached however there are many within russia who feel that the decision was politically motivated public areas decision to suspend the work on the pipeline is how to knock on effect for example might have to do 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 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 will further strengthen the existing gas supply despite the fact that some countries all wavering on the in washington are trying to delay construction
6:19 am
on the south strain the fact that the agreement could be signed by later on tuesday in vienna with austria means that the south stream is one step closer to becoming reality. now if the deal is done south stream could start operating in twenty fifteen and would start pumping out natural gas to keep a third of homes. for a year by it twenty twentieth's supplies will be increased by thirty percent and in ten years from now they could be a whopping one hundred forty billion cubic meters per year that would meet a quarter of europe's needs austria's politicians say they are king in close cooperation with moscow. but i think. times. perhaps put it to a little bit difficult it's very important to build creatures and. so on.

a u.s. court has released along a secret memo in which the obama administration lays out its legal reasoning for killing an american citizen without due process of law the document of course of course has left questions unanswered abby martin raises them and breaking. 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 ation got its wish to see a federal court released a two thousand and ten a memo by ben acting assistant attorney general david baron that outlined the legal case for the strike that killed a lock on surprisingly the obama administration memo relies almost entirely on the authorization for use of military force
6:23 am
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. i'm next one of nazi germany's key figures and a single handed manipulation of the media. so people say freedom isn't free and they're right in fact freedom my only cost the price of a bottle of water or an old t.-shirt fan celebrating the recent victory of the l.a. kings noticed that they were not alone what was believed to be
6:24 am
a police trolled 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 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 as. spying on a communications but any camera or other device than throwing distance of a brick is at the mercy of us the ninety nine percent and secondly generally if a crowd of people does something few ever get punished i mean if this drug was actually a police troll 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.
6:25 am
6:26 am
