intended to hurt ordinary iranians americans by sanctioning the central bank to try to even prevent iranians from importing. grain or rice and this is. in the eyes of the iranians absolutely disgusting so it's a major violation of the human rights of the iranian people if the iranians back down from their nuclear program which is peaceful and there's no evidence that it is not peaceful and then the americans and europeans will go after some other excuse to put pressure on the country but still ahead fuel r.t. the perils of global warming and of ignoring it big oil companies don't want to hear that so the people are making money to lobbyists there don't want to hear it delivered and we got to hear about it so much are we headed for a deal i hope the president in your asks if the public and the media doing enough to be effects of climate change also. traveled to a russian city that's home to first class truly thought. they'd lost it is

are becoming a private business it's hard to tell if you're going to find a job when you when you finish studying if you can actually do some college studies because if you have to really high price for them you are not even going to be able to go to college at all think of those. people who suffer. children and i think they're going to have to think that education is the most important thing because because it will be it will create a future so they have to spend money they have to spend money in education what i would like to see would be people massively going out of the street and protesting make things change people have that power and it will lead them to realize. increasingly that's exactly what's been students have been doing taking to the streets to protest the measures being brought in by the new government this is not just students that are suffering in the last four years three million jobs. it's

right to appeal they refused to. let germany look at mcbain who is funding the project says they weren't too concerned with getting any israeli stamp of approval because most applications are rejected could. the state of israel's. interests them having or caring for the war being a listing and scenario seem rather that you would like to see. palestinians more settlements which is what some european diplomats are suggesting because it's here in these remote hills with some of the most fervent settlement activity is taking place in a statement to archie the german foreign office said it was following the situation and described developments as worrying but it wouldn't comment on speculation. tel aviv was reacting spitefully to leaked a confidential e.u. report calling for israeli settlement activity to be stopped and so while these

nomads marvel at the first taste of the twenty first century their joy could be short lived if israel decides to put away policy r.t. and the south hebron hills but most scientists agree that the effects of global warming are being felt every day in cities around the world that the issue doesn't seem to be hitting the headlines well resident reporter asked people in new york now if the public and the media are doing enough to pressure the politicians to try and stop it. this year us it's fourth warmest winter on record and your record breaking cold why is no one talking about the perils of climate change any mark this week let's talk about that do you think it's still a threat to the planet yes over here especially what traffic. you know you've got the cars we like to pollute the air here in the u.s. you know what can you do i mean what can the individual. we can stop using plastic

bags and you turn your lights on we already knew that we really don't feel like that makes a big difference oh no we do yes we do as much as we can and you know it's time for the government heads worldwide do you think that the world still cares about it because it doesn't seem to be in the headlines as frequently absolutely not so why is that. for a government to figure out but they don't want to give us enough permission for us to make our own decisions and i think it's something that people know i mean everyone a lot of people watch you know watch al gore and listen to him and katie remember the name of the movie i can't. get it all we heard about it was. conveniently forgot they you know we forgot why do you think the media stopped to talk about it because it clearly wasn't commonsense that stops them. because they found something else to talk about i do believe people are working on it and when you talk to my

son who's in college and his friends i think there is a lot of concern that we have so yeah it's i guess it's you can't really day jeff we think that what the media is talking about right right we're going to have snow in june of this point so you believe it's still a threat yes absolutely so why isn't the media talking about it any more business. companies don't want to hear that so. don't want to hear it. we don't hear about it so much are we headed for do i hope. the bottom line is although there are people who are still concerned about the effects of climate change the mainstream media is clearly not among. some of the international news that our. foreign ministers have toughened the blocks piracy mission in somalia with its military forces that are allowed to launch attacks on the coast so far the operation is concentrated on tug boats. and

previously banks in russia. mass production by giant companies dominates in many industries the drury sector in russia central since of course tomorrow is no exception but it is one of the found out the spotted difficulties handmade billing system seems to outshine what's produced in factories. there's gold in them there hills not just killed diamonds rubies and just about any other precious and semiprecious stone you can imagine that's because in the city of course that a mark to the north of moscow wise the beating heart of russia's jewelry industry. it's difficult to get exact figures but we can say with a degree of confidence that every fourth product in russia is one of ours despite this being a tough time economically for a lot of businesses the de'monte company a looking to branch out. we supply of products through the russian and c.i.s.

markets and i think our entrance to the world markets is also in the pipeline the vast majority of russia's jewelry comes from this region with over four million pieces a year coming off of this fact alone all those that have the challenge the dominance of mass production. just down the road from the major factories it occurs in a sales guy a school a metal treatment and teaching students how to craft a spoke jewellery for one hundred fifty years however despite that history the rise of the factory still has caused some concern that the problem here is that some graduates find it hard to work on new equipment installed at these factories but they can do everything from either side with their hands students come from far afield to attend the school samuel show me love is from israel he's following in his uncle's footsteps by studying here and has high hopes for the future. of the earrings that i make are valued very highly i can't think of

a factory that can do things like there maybe tiffany this is the level i am aspiring to. perhaps an inspiration for the students is the success of local independent gauri glass of working from home alongside his wife tatiana the couple are produced some stunningly beautiful pieces drawing inspiration from a multitude of sources. i turn to history to literature. and my previous experience for example bees dark earrings were inspired by archeological for endings from a ninth century north russian silent with some of the pieces containing thousands of stones and taking more than six months to complete they don't come cheap but they are sought after in fact president to make him a bit of his among those who has purchased their work the glory says there will always be room for both the factories and the individual craftsmen to produce and sell their wares. more than i think traditional craft and mass production can

co-exist because they are two different things it's like juxtaposing photography in painting the job is about equipment creating is more about brains and. this is the difference with jewelry as well. with so much jewelry being made here is certainly the king of bling of russia's regions he told her r.t. . but then later today on r.t. we send in the clowns in moscow else shows you the colorful well the circus is on its own all the actors here's a taste of what's coming up at twelve thirty g.m.t. . with the stars of the show a very large animal that i will admit quite worried about meeting a draft african. tons this is no creature i would like to get in the way of is that. thing years old and he just fruit and i feel quite safe standing here
