live from the arctic new center eleven pm moscow time russia's president asked parliament to withdraw permission for the use of force in ukraine in a bid to deescalate tension in the country's east. but self-defense forces needs to create already reported mounting casualties a renewed artillery fire raising doubts over kim's commitment to stopping the violence. had money to getting gas to europe without the troublesome deed to austria and russia struck a deal on a new branch of the south stream pipeline despite pressure from brussels to freeze the project. coming up to this british jihadists are reportedly faking their own death to return to the u.k. undetected as fears grow of potential new terror attacks of. poland's

foreign minister is apparently caught on tape using vulgar language to describe his country's alliance with washington this hour we look at how such leaks than causing cracks in transatlantic tie. for over a good evening my name is kevin o. in first this president putin's asked russian lawmakers to withdraw permission to use the military in ukraine it was granted unanimously back in march ahead of the referendum in crimea to provide security for russian citizens and the naval fleet stationed in the region too but at the time it also sparked outrage in the west which suspected russia of planning an intervention well the move came in a bid to deescalate the tension in ukraine's east where that shaky cease fire continues. agreed by ukraine's government as self-defense forces in the east until

friday i say continues it doesn't actually quite seem to have lasted though forty eight hours as you'll see. in. this particular video filmed by a crew from russia's first t.v. channel when they got caught up in artillery fire near the city of slavyansk activists also say a woman has been killed and another wounded in the continued army shelling of the turn of. the lugansk region meantime anti-government forces in the nearby donetsk region have shot down a military helicopter killing all nine servicemen on board but from ukrainian defense officials and with the truce in ukraine being floated austria's presidents praised putin steps to defuse the crisis the two leaders earlier held a media q. and a in vienna after a busy day diplomacy at his pool scott was there. the continuing conflict in the east of ukraine was very much top of the agenda as russian president vladimir putin

and his austrian counterpart heinz facia faced the media after an afternoon of meetings now the leaders were unanimous in suggesting that ukrainian president. could be doing more to engage. to engage the population of that restive south east by assuring that rights and aspirations of the population were realized. just that the declaring a cease fire is not enough there should be substandard talks on the core problems of keep saying here you're seven days and you must disarm within this period if there are no efforts made to reach any substantial agreements with eastern ukraine there won't be any results. studios to leave austria is is primarily aimed at finding a peaceful peaceful solution for the crisis in ukraine and bring it into some constructive stage of negotiations where some substantive

arrangements could be made the most important thing is for russia and ukraine to have dialogue on all the relevant levels and mr president has just returned he did that. the austrian president was also came to praise about him a putin's decision earlier on cheese day to ask lawmakers to withdraw permission to use force in ukraine fisher says that is an important step towards deescalation well austrian and a russian energy giant put pen to paper on the agreement which will see construction work begin on the austrian section of the south stream now the south stream will pipe gas from russia to europe bypassing ukraine of course is seen as a more reliable and stable source as tensions between russia and ukraine continue to rise now australia is kayne to say that work started and completed despite deep divisions within the european union divisions that have seen. halted in bulgaria earlier this month people kerry and prime minister announced that work on the south

stream on the pipeline in his country is going to be halted following meeting with three u.s. senators including john mccain now the official reason being given was. that they needed to hole work in order to iron out concerns that e.u. competition rules had been breached however many within russia feel that the decision was politically motivated so there are some divisions over the south stream within the e.u. with the signing of the agreement here in vienna on tuesday the idea of the south rim is one step closer to becoming reality as paul was with an agreement and signed for an austrian branch of the south stream pipeline a step forward has been taken in getting russian gas directly to europe and stephen o'sullivan told us austria coming on board a major success here 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 new supply source there are calls many other issues that

have to be resolved ostracizing are is just one of the things that has to happen there are many other issues for example that all carriers need to decide to go away to building the pipeline but i don't sell needs to get exemption from what's called the e.u. package which basically means that gazprom if they build a pipeline have to allow other companies to use alcohol but he should that be that maybe no all the companies would have a whole. city so he would have to last for exemption he use of fire coming in and for the viewer he. will bring you all the latest developments in the progress and political hurdles to run he was so strong on air and online of course. the u.k. is on alert after the government one is 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 in fact to look at every suspect in depth and it's been reported that british jihadists have found ways to slip back into the u.k. under the radar has been a cause for reports. some of the fighters have been put on alert by authorities and find their british intelligence services have actually blacklisted some of the fighters that they believe pose a threat believe in them no other option but to play dead and this is one of the fears that was exacerbated especially after the case of a twenty six year old british jihad this who was reported dead in syria where the various groups expressing their condolences online and this very same man was later arrested tried to reenter the country from a dover and also now we know that he has been charged with tending a terror training camp as well as other terrorism offenses and this is one of the main concerns right now because authorities here have no idea who is the white in

fact when they returned from a country like syria and we know that the sunday times has who posts in the article where they're quoting a one such a 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 in fact the hardest for the islamic state in iraq and isis are planning attacks on british soil considering the fact that there are various reports estimating that there are around two hundred fifty thousand five hundred britons fighting in countries like syria experts say not only is the threat larger than they think but also of the number of those people so now it's really down to british intelligence not only to figure out who has returned but also who is playing dead perhaps and what threat they pose a correspondent in london in time even to look at what is happening in the militants. reportedly seized the country's largest oil refinery in the town of baiji two weeks ago they launched a ruthless insurgency in capturing key cities and large swathes of very quickly

they still have. isis radicals been carrying out attacks on the refinery now for the past ten days intense clashes with the troops have managed to repose that's mostly why this area so crucial from the. on the news well here's why it's important financially extremely important budget counts for more than a quarter of iraq's entire refining capacity the city process is around three hundred thousand barrels a day supplying petrol stations nationwide as well as power plants to battles over this refinery already lead to petrol rush we reported on that yesterday but it seems it could mean massive queues at gas stations not seen yet and lengthy electricity outages now at its heart this conflict is deep rooted along religious lines the sunni dominated north west as a storage lieben of odds with the shiites living in the southern regions but it's also about strategic interests as well militants are increasingly existing in on the biggest oil fields of control by the government hugely important the industry

makes up ninety five percent of iraq's economy and though it's not a serious threat let's talk about this with dr mazen international economist and consultant to the world bank and delighted to say is on the line now from london sir good evening to you how worried are you about the complete takeover maybe of the oil fields here by just how this how much of a danger is it. it is very worrying for the price of oil and for the global oil market and of course the global economy so far iraq is still producing oil and exporting oil because the bulk of its all in fields are in the south and so far they have not been at dak still we can see any flexion of that on the price of oil which is today hundred out of four thousand. and however if the insurgents manage to threaten the oil fields in

this out then we can see the possibility of production stopping and export stopping and that could send the price of oil to more than one twenty five to thirty dollars a barrel now talk to we've seen the effect on this locally reporting on it yesterday we saw the big queues at the petrol stations but they're nothing as they would be in iraq if they do get their hands on the south what's it going to mean for people outside of iraq you talked about where the price is going to go is it going to be a temporary blip for instance how would it affect britain france america etc. well the trouble in iraq we don't know how it will develop the situation is very or so as i said already it's impacting on the global economy and the prize of all in but the capture of. the find any is very important because it makes the life of the iraqis very difficult and it could

affect military operations by the loss of diesel and gasoline against the insurgents so it is of great importance however i must point out that the floor of baiji doesn't affect iraq's ability to produce and to export oil because baji the provides for the domestic. market does not export to any refined products understood what about the influence of the kurds see it could they help we've heard john kerry asking for the for them to side with baghdad although they have other lot of trouble about this in the past he's asking them to to come on with baghdad here now are they get real to help or is that pie in the sky well the could of. saw there a chance when there occupied kind of cook oil fields of course the accords. are

angling for independence over that of they are a pretty purred to help the government of iraq in baghdad or not remains to be seen but in previous occasions they have not seen eye to eye with al maliki government and baghdad well we're also hearing the u.s. through. to the u.s. calling on maliki to make a more inclusive government to include these people to include the sunnis except it's going to happen any time soon. i doubt he will succeed and maybe it will come too late but we must realize that it was the american invasion of iraq which it is able to share our rights to take the lion's share in government so now the abacha ends have had a full circle and a starting and new i hope the maliki government will be able to be

inclusive and to include the sun is cool and not a minority as people claim and the western media there are more of them forty per cent of the iraqi plan really so let's hope something will come out of it however the important thing is for the government forces to stab the insurgents in their tracks and to recapture the towns they lost to the insurgents talk to some of the international economist on the one from london thank you very much for your time sir. thank you thank you. america's made another european allies blood boil this time frustrating the french is trying to find france's biggest bank a record of my present alarm calls of punishment coming up in a few minutes we look at what's called washington all worked up.

knew she was the best weapon against an enemy is another enemy but when your enemy expensive oil well welcome to america is middle east policy we're everyone is either an enemy or a friend in me. we speak your language. news programs and documentaries and spanish matters to you. but. the stories. you hear. the spanish. visit.

the media leave us so we leave the media. motions to the. visible. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from . politic. parties. again relations with american polish top brass have always appeared to be in rude health at least for the cameras anyway from the house but a leaked conversation involving poland's foreign ministers now reveals and rudeness of another kind report next looks at how that's left the establishment in warsaw red faced. 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 that the polish 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 up tamed 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 preceding 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. 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 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 us and this trust needs to be restored 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 rare but i think an underlying this strong alliance there is

a rift every country should ultimately be thinking about itself there is that bridge between the e.u. and. the united states but this time around is really very serious marina port ny r.t. washington france's largest paper of nine billion dollars to the u.s. for covering up transactions that while eight american sanctions if it happens it will be a record settlement one the french president's already called unfair and disproportionate is artie's peter all over. 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 and most of all sit down that all appear on the sanctions list it's been 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 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 our correspondent in berlin will then present size of the fines of some wondered why i . should have to pay so much the biggest ever penalty paid for by a bank so far was a fine of almost two billion dollars that was handed out to britain's h.s.b.c. but the french giant could eclipse the almost five times as much as this goes

through we are still a list of harmonious why france is facing such tough measures now he thinks washington's actually punishing paris here for refusing to cancel its contract to sell mistral warships to russia. my only conclusion i have no proof of my own conclusion is the sale of warships to russia 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 are armed i look at. sequence of events might draw their conclusion it just goes to show that it's a very expensive to find 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. more tonight's big story a suicide bombing in the lebanese capital beirut reportedly killed the security officers and injured nineteen people to the attack was carried out near a checkpoint and a prison cafe where people gathered to watch world cup games last friday another suicide attack near the syrian border left one person dead and injured almost forty . trials begun of the crew of a south korean ferry that sank back in april killing nearly three hundred people most of the victims with many more passengers the still missing evidence includes a video showing the crew abandoning the ship while the youngsters were told to stay and wait for instructions the captain the three senior crewmembers are charged with murder eleven others charged with negligence. british prime minister david cameron's former spin doctors been found guilty of phone hacking while he was the editor of the news of the world paper and the call for now faces a jail sentence is previous says from the job rebecca brooks was acquitted of the

same charges both denied the accusations throughout the trial it was initiated the middle of a location in the newspaper but illegally listening into the phone calls of a large number of celebrities and politicians. israel seems to be resorting to its old ways of dealing with the people it deems terrorists demolishing their homes promise netanyahu skaven orders to do just that to the home of an alleged hamas operative who was indicted for killing a jewish policeman in april meanwhile the i.d.f. continuing to search for three missing jewish teenagers arresting of a three hundred sixty palestinians now in the process human rights activist says the latest developments a horrifying. just to demonstrate the cruelty of the measure that is no being suggested to people that come to live in their home there are thirteen palestinians living in that this home eight of them children so they are the ones that are going

to suffer as a result of this this action it's a measure that was into used almost entirely in the past decade so the thought that this one again implemented is horrifying the fact that what we're seeing are measures. targets. broadly travel restrictions to suggested legislation to force feed hunger strikers know this this. dramatic increase in the number of administrative palestinian detainees all these are extremely worrying and should not be accepted. stuck in the middle east to moscow's condemned last week's raid by the israeli defense forces and now t's office in the west bank the russian foreign ministry says such actions against journalists are unacceptable whatever the motivation was it also called on the israeli army to give back property it confiscated during the raid you saw it was part of a crackdown on local media centers in a broader campaign against the palestinian authorities who said just now being

blamed for the kidnap of those three israeli teenagers so just force their way into a building used by broadcasting service provider power media and also used by the damaged furniture and technical equipment complete destroyed computer hardware and also confiscated materials. thanks for being with us international we appreciate the fact she watches stay right if you can for our teams financial firebrand he's way then the way is my skies are a must next the types of capitalism is nothing less than terrorism after the break . 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 strongest 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 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 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 if you ever get punished i mean if this drug was 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. please. please. please. please please. please. crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want.

welcome to the kaiser report max kaiser you know fredric new cheat once said that the best weapon against an enemy is another enemy but when your enemy is expensive oil well welcome to america's middle east policy where everyone is either an enemy or a friend i mean stacy backs the first headline i think isn't and we not a friend to me and that is isis stonor terrorist organizations annual reports unveiled reveal full investment highlights since two thousand and twelve the islamic state of iraq and the levant known as isis has issued annual reports outlining in numerical and geographical detail its operations the number of bombings assassinations checkpoint suicide missions cities taken over and even

a pos states converted to the isis car. well i mean this is a perfect example of what we've been talking about capitalism has become terrorism and the so called terrorists don't see themselves as any different than goldman sachs or j.p. morgan or a month or exxon they issue their annual reports a complete with info graphics they talk about various metrics and big data and they're in the same business as halliburton or chevron and they're competing with each other in this region of iraq that they they are become the equivalent of goldman sachs in the area and we were saying this for quite some time that there really is the difference or come from the same cloth the terrorists and the bankers there they have the same mindset they're both the jihadi s. one follows out of smith's one follows the qur'an they're both ideologically willing to kill themselves and others for their belief. using financial.
