said that the reason for his request to the federation council is an attempt to try and pacify the situation in the southeast of ukraine and head of the three party talks on the regulation of the situation in that region which are to begin of really soon we have already heard the reactions coming from the ukrainian president poroshenko who said that this is the first practical step towards the deescalation of the situation in the south east of the country anti-government forces in eastern ukraine say one woman has been killed and another one that in the continued army shelling of the town in the lugansk region both sides agreed to observe a cease fire until friday morning but are already accusing each other of breaking it now these are the latest pictures from britain there showing the devastation left by the continued or tillery fire by pro-government forces local militia have also been reporting renewed gunfire on the outskirts of slovyansk which has seen

love affair america and its atlantic partners consistently proclaimed 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 us worthless insisting it creates a false sense of security in a secretly recorded conversation of change 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 this new lens 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 about me specifically but a bottle citizens we need trust among and this trust needs to be. 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 until i'm this strong alliance there is a right every country should also mostly thinking about itself if there is a drift. and the united states but this time around it's really very serious merino port ny r.t. washington. political analyst khalid martin believes the foreign minister actually put into words what many in poland have wanted to say for a while now with 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 are 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 and their personal interactions they can be quite obscene and and it's a very different personality than what we see as the public. america's also made another european allies blood boil this time frustrating the french it's trying to find france biggest bank in almost record amount president along polls a punishment unfair later we'll look at what's got washington all worked out but. also find out how dozens of women who worry illegally serialised in california prisons according to a new report that claims the practice is systemic. there's

a staff forwards in there getting russian gas directly into europe and agreements in place for an austrian branch of the south stream pipeline it would mean fuel supplies bypassing ukraine and the project was earlier partly frozen by brussels for possibly violating the blocks regulations cross lived paul scott. so the future of south stream looks more optimistic despite brussels moves tell us more. yes well hey in vienna austrian and a russian energy giants have put pen to paper on agreement that will see construction what begin on the austrian section of the south stream now the south stream is to transport gas from russia to europe but bypassing he crane is seen as a more stable and reliable route with tensions increasing between russia and ukraine now austria is keen for the work to go ahead despite deep divisions within the european union divisions that have halted construction work on the pipeline in

bulk area earlier this month the bulk arion prime minister decided to suspend work on the pipeline on the rate after a meeting with three u.s. senators including john mccain who was courted off the words saying that the project should have as little russian involvement as possible now the official reason given for a bulgarian deciding to suspend the walk was in order to iron out concerns are the e.u. competition rules had been breached however many within russia feel that the decision was politically motivated gary's decision to do that has had a knock on effect serbia for example might have to do likewise and put plans on the back burner however they are cane for the project to go ahead the president has been quoted as saying that the south stream will guarantee the long time energy security and create conditions for boosting the domestic economy while in italy officials are also kaine for the project to go ahead. one official saying that he

will continue to support the south stream which is among the most strategically important infrastructure projects for the continent so there are clear divisions between western powers but the signing of the agreement here in austria brings the idea of the south stream one step closer to reality. paul thanks so much for bringing us this update postcard reporting there. now an advance spurred stephen a solvent says austria coming on board is a major success this is certainly a step forward without a doubt it's yet another consumer central and eastern europe that is interested in buying us through this huge supply souls there are of course many other issues that have to be resolved ostracizing you know it's just one of the things that there are many other issues for example that ok need to decide to go to building the bike on the planet and sell these to get exemption from what's called the. package which

basically means that it's just wrong to build a life i don't have to allow other companies to use us off but he said that the that they do know all the companies that will hold that office yesterday so it would have to last for examination to be the only use of the quantity in and for the viewer here. we'll bring you all the developments in the program some political hurdles surrounding the south stream pipeline an air am line at r.t.e. dot com. to be in the news. now the u.k. is on alert after the government warned it's expecting terror attacks at home by british radicals returning from fighting in syria and iraq officials say it's extremely difficult to track and monitor every single islamist who comes back one former top m i six chief claims it's completely impossible to look at every suspect in depth and it's been reported that british jihad is have found ways to slip back

in fact when they return from a country like syria and we know about the sunday times has recently posted in the article where they're quoting a one such fighter allegedly who says that he wants to see the british prime minister as well as the home secretary taken hostage and beheaded david cameron himself has already warned that. this would be islamic state in iraq and isis are planning attacks on british soil and considering the fact that there are various reports estimating that there are around from two hundred fifty to five hundred persons fighting in countries like syria experts say not only is the threats a lot of them they think but also a good number all those people saying that it's really down to british intelligence not only to figure out who has returned but also who's playing the dead perhaps and what threat they pose. all right thanks so much for this update reporting from the u.k. . now moscow has come down last week's raid by israeli defense forces on artie's

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 at 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 is met between the french bank and the u.s. banking regulators we're expecting that decision at the beginning of july now the unprecedented size of the finance left some are wondering why you should have to pay so much the biggest ever a penalty paid by banks so far was a fine of almost two billion dollars handed out to britain's h.s.b.c. but the french giant that eclipse that amount paying almost five times as much we

asked journalist robert harneys why france is facing such tough measures he thinks washington is actually punishing paris for refusing to cancel its contract to sell mistral warships to russia my only conclusion i have no proof that 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 all ships to russia i look at the sequence of events might . all their completion it just goes to show that it's a very expensive. it's a 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 guilty at trial if you plead guilty you give us a load of money and that see it seems that european politicians are capable of

swallowing any humiliation from the americans. a u.s. court has released a long 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 has left questions unanswered abby martin raises them in breaking the set 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 u.s. drone strike in yemen for his association with al qaeda now a lock is 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 they were it is asian got its wish to federal court released a two thousand and ten memo by then acting assistant attorney general david baron that 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 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. and coming up next our chief financial firebrand. max kaiser masks certain brands of capitalism as nothing less than terrorism. 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 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 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 the 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 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.

well all told you my language is what i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm not in a position to the know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it's as if mr k.l.a. car is on the docket no god. no more weasel words when you vade a direct question be prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a battle freedom of speech and little down to freedom to question. do we speak your language or not advance. news programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news
