yes in a stable and reliable manner and moreover rush is russian oil and gas are also transported to other european countries through austria therefore it would be no always statement to say that russia and austria jointly through joint efforts contribute to energy security of the entire european continent we jointly work on expanding our cooperation in the area of energy today our leading companies gazprom an m. file they say a contract for gas shipments up to the year twenty forty two austria we are also continuing the implementation of the north stream to the line and the austrian federal chancellor has confirmed that austria considers this project to be a purely economic undertaken undertaking we also discussed the technical and the industrial cooperation and the increasing mutual investment. i already said this

following my meeting with the austrian president. our investment is almost twenty four billion dollars in australia this minute is four billion. we are implementing the declaration on partnership for modernization which was signed in two thousand and fourteen and within its framework we have twenty eight investment which would have an aggregate cost of almost three billion euros specially i would like to mention the large scale project. aimed at creating a railway between vienna and. right now it is still in the stage of expert. research but it is already clear that should the railway be created in the. for consumers would go down

and the time traveling into new europe in asia would get much shorter we also discussed a regional agenda we discussed the events in ukraine and the situation in ukraine i informed my colleague the chancellor about how russia sees the future opportunities of for settling the conflict in the donbass region it is characteristic that both russia and austria are in favor of all the parties to this conflict and abiding by the minsk agreements we also discussed the conflict in syria and the prospects for its resolution and the need to joining he meets here in operations to aid the civilians in syria and i would like to read today that if you are one of the flow of refugees from syria to europe including austria go down we need to help we should help

syrians go back to their homes that we need to help them really store normal life in their own country to conclude i would like to think the federal chancellor for this substantial negotiation our mutual goal goes on we have two more events today planned planned also there will be celebrations. commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of our gas trade we will need austrian business people and then we'll visit a museum. where we will you know. an exposition of russian old artists from russia's hermitage being put on display in vienna and i would like to think the press for the interest you show in our deliberations in our and our activities thank you.

ok that was president vladimir putin and the austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz wrapping up their business dealings for the day is a very whistle stop trip this one for president putin they were signing some deals or rather officials were signing some deals namely to do with and the g. and the fifty year and a g. contract that they've had going and they've signed up until twenty forty to keep delivering russian energy to austria plenty other discuss besides we'll have more from our correspondent a little bit later you're watching r.t. international.

not. that sort of see i played golf. with the for. the us. radially reinforced rammed earth bricks is what they really are.

this more than seventy houses about a hundred and forty people with families living here. it's really a way of forming same in. the sun's coming in and heating the house and being stored in massive walls. sagebrush is the natural. vironment here but as we are containing the sewage and then using the plant sort of to process the sewage we create our own little releases here.

and water a full hour of news from the welcome back with outrage continuing to grow over israel's use of lethal force against protesters in gaza the u.s. remains on wavering in its support for its middle eastern ally but most recently washington's ambassador in jerusalem dished out some less than diplomatic advice to journalists covering the rallies and which since march at least one hundred twenty palestinians have been killed. the. well the american ambassador to israel david friedman has attacked the media for what he says is failing to fairly cover the recent protests along the israel gaza border he said that when you have a situation of some forty thousand protesters storming the israeli border and the cover of burning tires and with pistols a molotov cocktails that situation is unprecedented and he says that israel did the best it could and yet despite this ninety percent of media coverage was biased and

critical against the israeli defense forces the american ambassador did however concede that some criticism against israel is legitimate now israel's position has always been to blame him us for the protests and the ensuing violence and this is a position that american officials have echoed a mosque terrorist backed by iran have incited attacks against israeli security forces and infrastructure and we understand that israel has a right to defend itself. urged the members of the security council to exercise at least as much scrutiny of the actions of the hamas terrorist group as it does to israel's legitimate right of self-defense now despite the fact that american officials have come out in support of how the israeli army behaved in dealing with those gaza protests there has been unprecedented criticism in the international community particularly by human rights groups you have for example human rights

watch saying that the i.d.f. behavior was a bloodbath you have the united nations saying that it was outrageous you have amnesty international saying to quote that there was a horrifying use of live ammunition against unarmed protesters now the latest figures we have from the gaza health ministry are that one hundred and nineteen people were killed in nine weeks of violence the situation on the ground is still tense and unfortunately we are bracing ourselves for those figures to climb. to stand to nationals also got major concerns about military operations in syria it's accusing the u.s. led coalition of committing potential war crimes during last year's operation to liberate the city of raka from islamic state the rights group serves the strong evidence that america and its partners used indiscriminate and disproportionate force of the impact was catastrophic or got more details earlier from our correspondent and us to signature. this amnesty international report a dubbed war of and they have rationed devastating tolls and civilians in iraq to

syria is a very highly critical analysis of the airstrikes that were carried out by the u.s. led coalition that involved britain and france on the city of raka from june to october twenty seventeen in their fight against isis and this amnesty international report talks of decimated families and neighborhoods says that not enough was done to protect civilians and that some of the attacks resulted in violation of international humanitarian law and indeed talks of potential war crimes as a result of the these strikes the report finds that hundreds of people died and thousands were injured despite the coalition saying they did everything they could to minimize casualties you know when you're finding it and me. uses noncombat as collateral damage you know it's very difficult when you when you fight it we like to completely avoid. any casualties of war like that but i can tell

you we have a process that we go through. to minimize civilian casualties the cost. the coalition's claims that its precision air complains allowed it to bomb islamic state out of iraq while causing very few civilian casualties do not stand up to scrutiny on the ground in iraq who witnessed a level of destruction comparable to any scene we've seen in decades of covering the impact of wars well amnesty international interviewed one hundred twelve civilians in as many as forty two locations of airstrikes for this report and some of their focus was specifically on four families who have lost very big numbers of family members in these airstrikes they look at one family that lost as many as eight members in one airstrike another lost sixteen another family lost and a fourth family that lost as many as thirty nine people in those airstrikes and of course while we know the coalition says that in this case as others they did all

they can to minimize casualties and in these kinds of scenarios according to them this is inevitable according to amnesty international that is just not good enough and they have called for investigations and justice for the victims of those strikes. us federal prosecutors working on the trump russia probe of accused president trump former campaign manager of pressuring witnesses to give false evidence ahead of a trial forty said to have failed to register as a foreign agent when he lobbied for ukraine twenty twelve. explained when it comes to interfering the u.s. is a past master the alleged meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election still dominates headlines stateside russian meddling into the twenty sixteen election russian interference in russia is again trying to disrupt our elections russia did meddle in the two thousand and sixteen election but he didn't need a history lesson to understand that foreign meddling is a global game one that the u.s.

plays very well. through our history when we tried to manipulate or influence elections or even overturn the government it was done with the best interests of the people of that country in mind given the traditional reverence for human rights according to studies between nine hundred forty six and their two thousand great powers intervened one hundred seventeen times in foreign affairs with the u.s. making up a large chunk of those statistics. part design of the cold interventions in other words situations when great powers that intervene in elections in other countries in an attempt to determine the election result the united states intervened in elections of this in a do one elections in this manner in forty seven countries for this purpose between one thousand nine hundred eighty six and two thousand here's a few examples the say i publicly admitted it was behind the notorious nine hundred fifty three k. of iran's democratically elected prime minister he insisted on oil should be

nationalized which perhaps wasn't in the best interest of iranians or washington so it seems so he was overthrown in the shell small installed for the next twenty six years to safeguard the west's all ambitions in the country and said it all ended and anti west an islamic revolution. the one who's in the me is america there is not based on prejudice or pessimistic points of view but rather it stems from experience from a cripple and real understanding of the actual realities of the world from a wrong to chile two decades on and the cia is supporting a bloody military coup in south america the pinochet government prisoned torches and killed some forty thousand and also political enemies including us citizens and the f.b.i. surveillance like caesar peering into the colonies from distant rome nixon said the choice of government by the chileans wasn't acceptable to the president of the

united states but the attitude in the white. house seemed to be if in the wake of vietnam i can no longer send in the marines then i will send in the cia with this in mind is alleging russian meddling in the us election a little hypocritical the reelection campaign a former russian president boris yeltsin was secretly managed by three american political consultants they spilled the beans to a us magazine about their collaboration with the clinton white house to bump up his approval ratings although the americans spoke no russian and worked through translators they began secretly laying out an american style campaign to counter the public sentiment running against yeltsin the plot was thrilling so much so showtime made a movie about it based on a true story told the russians how please tell me you did not just government whether they wanted. to look out today apparently stalin look at it.

it seems as though outside intervention in domestic politics is as old as politics itself and when it comes to u.s. meddling it will change your country for the best whether you want it why not and i think that's it for me for now i'll be back in a couple of minutes with your r.t. headline news don't go away. come on man. please. luu. level blow hard selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings pianist to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle of big stone and. the new socks try to tell you that the beach gossip the public myself of the most important news today. on the positive outlook has

been telling me you are not cool enough and let's not fight their products. these are the hawks that we along with our loved ones. forman are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because they did not shoot around a corner. of. their . radially reinforced rammed earth bricks was what they really are.

this more than seventy houses about one hundred forty people with families living here and. it's really a way of forming same as. the sun's coming in and hitting the house and being stored in massive walls. sagebrush is the natural environment here but as we're containing the sewage and and using to plant stuff to process the sewage we create our own little way system here. is a. secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing

children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to. a different spot were the previous standards not know the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice center that. i included used to. spend three.

kings headline stories but in vienna on his first official foreign trip since beginning his fourth term as president looking for ways to improve relations with the e.u. . america's ambassador to israel give some less than diplomatic feedback to journalists covering the i.d.f. use of extreme force against palestinian protesters in gaza. to sleep. sleep. sleep sleep sleep is a serious leak the to use a loop. of annihilation a damning new report from a leading human rights group accusing speak u.s. led coalition of potentially breaking international law as it battled to liberate

the syrian city of raka from myself last year. hi there live news worldwide from moscow i'm calling bray and this is r.t. international it's just turned seven pm in the evening on tuesday here in moscow it's six pm in vienna which is where we're concentrating on for the first part of the program and russia developing ties with the e.u. will not be damaged by sanctions that's the message reaffirmed by president putin at a media conference in vienna italy's first official trip internationally since starting his fourth term. we believe any politically motivated restrictions and protectionism these two theories over and political issues are in the end useless in achieving the ultimate goal they're damaging for both sides and i think everyone's interest in lifting the sanctions russia are included we realize

it is difficult for individual countries to voice and you know the reasons why however this doesn't stop us from developing ties with austria. our correspondent in vienna. through two news conferences in two hours bring us up to speed on what we've heard so far. well it's been a hectic day very busy day they had plenty to talk about putin as well as austria's leaders plenty to talk about and more importantly they were willing to talk about it all manner of themes from syria. where austria pledged to help with the humanitarian crisis there that they talked about the ukraine resolving the conflict there they talked about iran various other topics such as trade for example we won't go into specifics but just to give you an idea of how well the relations between austria and russia developing last year trade between the two countries

grew by forty percent it is grew by fifty percent from this time last year so we're seeing huge rates of economic growth of you know bilateral trade but that's all well and good the meat of it was really gas the fiftieth anniversary since russia began exports in gas energy to austria and it is gone both sides said well since then without any major problems there is of course the topic of american liquefied natural gas but the president himself said that it's really financially no alternative to russian gas. recently there's been some let's call it reproach on the part of some american politicians who suggested the use to dependent on russian gas but the fact that's been overlooked is that american liquid gas if i'm not mistaken is not three times more expensive than russian gas so it makes little sense from

a purely economic perspective to replace russian gas with american liquid gas. undoubtedly sanctions were also discussed behind closed doors he does comment to them during during the periods as before the press but you know they they talked plenty between all the conferences negotiations talks press conferences the other the other thing that they said was the austrian leader himself that when. he begins to chair in the first of july the council of the european union they they won't be making any radical turns so they will continue with the course european europe has chosen and that is sanctions but the austrian prime minister said that these are tough times we live and he's a tense times and austria has taken upon itself to diffuse this tension between europe and between russia he said that peace in europe is impossible without russia

and that russia ees a part of a part of europe and the problems various international problems problems in the european union in russia will only be resolved when the two sides talk but with regards to sanctions we have heard a number of comments from other european officials. that we will support opening up to russia which has consolidated. which has consolidated its international role in various political crises in recent years we will push for review the sanction system starting with those that risk punishing the russian civil society. as i said earlier we shouldn't expect sanctions to be lifted overnight or indeed in the

foreseeable future but aside from economic reasons for the lifting of sanctions there are also now political reasons and currents a shifting history. making up with russia might counterbalance things such as friends allies washington imposing tariffs on european goods a move that essentially began a trade war. so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do it we will now impose tariffs on harley davidson motorcycles on levis blue jeans and borgen we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid the logic here is that by normalizing relations with russia europe would be better able to deal with washington the idea is that the united states would behave itself properly we also need russia to solve

problems i mean with skloot russia from the g eight now the problem is that the u.s. is following a policy the other six do not want perhaps russia's return to the g. eight would be a counterbalance and allow for counter policy but politician say whatever suits them doesn't always translate into action it seldom does if anything and it's difficult to have now. and god you are jew and ponderous european machine changing tracks robot knife or it used to be difficult to imagine we have to reconnect if i'm not very happy about the state of all the books that get the. differences on the streets. but. people couldn't. next this with outrage continuing to grow over israel's use of lethal force against protesters in gaza the u.s.

remains on wavering in its support for its middle east and i like most recently washington's ambassador in jerusalem dished out some less than diplomatic advice to journalists covering the rallies in which since march at least one hundred twenty palestinians have been killed. the. well the american ambassador to israel david friedman has attacked the media for what he says is failing to fairly cover the recent protests along the israel gaza border he said that when you have a situation of some forty thousand protesters storming the israeli border and the cover of burning tires and with pistols a molotov cocktails that situation is unprecedented and he says that israel did the best it could and yet despite this ninety percent of media coverage was biased and critical against the israeli defense forces the american ambassador did however

amnesty international saying to quote that there was a horrifying use of live ammunition against an armed protesters now the latest figures we have from the gaza health ministry are that one hundred and nineteen people were killed in nine weeks of violence the situation on the ground is still tense and unfortunately we're bracing ourselves for those figures to climb paula slater there will journalist and filmmaker david sheen's been documenting the underlying issues in the region for nearly a decade now and last hour he told me he believes the u.s. ambassador's comment part of a concerted effort to deprive palestinians of their rights. he's saying you can't report on any massacre doesn't matter the death toll goes up into the triple digits or if there is medics or whatever journalists are being shot you can't report on any massacre unless you first frame it within a narrative that justifies it. you know this is ridiculous this whole trumpy an attack everything is fake news on this you declare the narrative as.
