three women who will not. pulled a similar stunt in another religious institution and they are saying that the three women are guilty of inciting religious hatred now that is something which the defense and the defendants themselves are vehemently denying there saying that there was absolutely no religious context to their song or to their performance in the christ the savior cathedral but the entire message and at the stunned were essentially politically motivated that is one of the main reasons why they insist that this entire trial with his back to a political prosecution and harks back to medieval times it is interesting to know that members of pussy riot punk band have also participated in various controversial at times even sexually provocative actions and performances in russia in various cities moscow and st petersburg we can say that that was the right charles has not left anybody indifferent whether in russia or abroad it does look like of course a lot of the support comes from musicians alike they are some of those musicians of

course are probably very prominent names for example red hot chili peppers or sting all of whom who have been in moscow performing at various concerts as well as madonna who's also made a performance in moscow just on tuesday she actually had the words pussy riot written on her back during the performance but it's not just the musicians who are issuing their words of support to pussy riot also interestingly enough their east policy sions from foreign countries have also been not just talking about this trial some of them have actually been attending the court proceedings but exactly when the verdict will be announced is not yet clear we're also expecting to hear the final pleas of the defendants as well it really goes to reporting there in arenas keeping us up to date with all the latest developments from the courtroom in her twitter stream one of her latest tweets she says there was a stampede outside doors of the courthouse and cameras are permitted to film inside the trial today.

now poland could make a break from its military protectors in the u.s. was the country's president suggesting the development of a missile the fan shield of its own the polish leader said a deal to allow part of america's planned system on a serious ory left security at the mercy of policy shifts in washington are just like your chef's explains. signing an agreement with washington on taking part in the european anti-missile defense shield project was a big political mistake this was the message of the polish president komorowski who spoke to a polish newspaper saying that his country played a high political price for signing this agreement back in two thousand and eight something which he believes must not must not repeat itself must not happen again he probably meant that his country's previous administration signed this agreement

with washington in two thousand and eight that poland would take part in the european a.m.d. project having american missiles american troops on its soil then when the president obama when present obama came to office when there was a change of administration in washington this plan was changed was altered and now poland is paying the consequences of relying too much on washington's efforts in building this european a.m.d. project rather than participating in this project having american troops on its soil reserve coming off to believe that poland should have its own antiwar anti-missile defense system which would guarantee that whatever whoever comes to office in washington still the polish defense would be active still still it would have the needed resources to fight off any attacks coming from the air from iraq states should they decide to attack poland right now the polish president believes the current missile defense of the polish and. forces is very weak and outdated so

rather than taking part in this project by nato by washington poland should invest into building its own system couple of years ago in two thousand and ten poland already hosted. several sets of the interceptor missiles of nato on its soil in the town of morag in northern poland something which was certainly criticized heavily in moscow saying that this move like this basically builds up the hostility in the region and comes a full contradiction with the agreements made between the two countries certainly it's really only to say what the new statements by bring you to come off you could mean whether poland may take some kind of turn around and may change its policy and whether it may actually drop itself from the a m d a from the nato and us a project in europe but definitely statements like that coming from the country's leader who is marking two years in office right now is something you and definitely brings a lot of spice to this rather interesting interesting story as it is and i'm sure

to ask your reporting there still about the program not welcome any more. certainly i want the full. power shift in egypt puts the states relations with israel to the test for the jews feeling the heat on the streets. and turkey stepped up attacks on kurdish rebels fearing the exploited while in syria some analysts believe this is the first sign of an person calls to oust backfiring. imposed get awfully via the recently elected parliament is preparing to replace the country's interim leaders the national transitional council predict a peaceful handover despite sporadic outbreaks of violence the red cross announced its suspending work in several major cities leaving after its headquarters in misrata were pounded with grenades and rockets it was the fifth time in less than three months the independent agency has come under attack in the country a car bomb also exploded near

a military police building in the capital true. police last weekend at a sting operation outside the city saw three men suspected of planning bomb attacks killed richards found her a founder and coeditor of online magazine alternative right says this and stability plays into the hands of sound world powers what i would say is this is that the united states is very happy if libya becomes a kind of chaotic place where there's no real there's no real central power that whatever who's anything they do if there is some you know borderline secular people battling islamicist and so on and so forth and there's not a strong man like gadhafi who actually would question the washing consensus which threaten to offer a different kind of monetary standard who would oppose washington and israel and foreign policy if if washington can prevent someone like that i think washington

would be happy i think washington would be happy if you have islamicist squabbling with other factions and you have this parliament that has no clear majority and that would last for decades in libya just kind of sinks into a a week powerless place. and staying in the region the arab spring and edge of has seen a clear worsening in relations with israel as artist policy or now reports from cairo this sentiment as being on the streets or the last remaining jews say they no longer feel safe. alone frightened and struggling one of the last of her people in a land that no longer wants them selene has merely the photos of her did family for comfort she is one of cairo's few remaining jews once there were eighty thousand now there are fewer than twenty but certainly i'm afraid certainly i am. as bad i tried to forget. she has reason to be wary the new rulers of egypt the muslim

brotherhood call for jihad and want the liberation of palestine they've launched a war of words against jews that goes as far as to threaten death it took us a long time to find simeon and when we did even longer to convince her to be interviewed by us she was worried that her neighbors would see her talking to a television crew eventually she agreed to talk to us here on the street but when i watched her back to her building a neighbor spotted us and started screaming obscenities at her that is fun at the persons in my building. the roots of jewish people run deep in the streets of cairo as far back as the twelfth century pious jews trod these cobbled streets on their way to study with her non-physician rabbi moses been my mourns ahmed has collected memories of the many jews who once lived here he proudly shows me articles of those he once you know that. this place used to be fool jews they were all my friends but they all left in the early fifties sometimes they come back to visit me and then we

always see it and talk about the good old times got to remember seven looking back . it was a jewish man who told us what his trade the love of his life was also a jewish woman but his is a way voice today in these streets it can be dangerous to ask where's the nearest synagogue. certainly i am one of those though you are going to look at not that i've always said that your job problem is to let go of the visible. it didn't come to that little country which few day to mention israel they may be divisions among egyptians but they are united in their hatred of their neighbor look and she loves israel as a racist state which doesn't respect agreements and israeli jew is not welcome in egypt being in the going no treats you continue between us i hate dealing with israel and its presence in the region is dangerous i'm certain much as you have israel is a cancer our main enemy after the revolution of january it's now possible to cancel

the peace agreement with them and so simeon spends her remaining days alone holed up in her apartment and suffering from alzheimer's disease too afraid to venture out and when she does it's only for the shortest time just in the memory of a fast disappearing world policy r.t. cairo where we have more coverage of egypt israel relations on why is the.

well the magyar with our team britain's black community say police are targeting them with stop and search powers officers and i discriminate asking minorities say they feel like they are being treated as second class artist or isthmus reports the police conduct a stop and search operation on a group of youths in london they can stop anyone in some cases without even suspecting a crime but research shows if you are black it's twenty eight times more likely to happen to you when mohamed el me is young and black and has lived on his west london estate all his life he's also a trainee lawyer. and intelligent and yet the police are constantly stopping him you're looking at probably five to ten times into five to ten times a week a week and i've got to stop a search slip to will separate that tell me describes

a typical police shake down they happen more in the summer and often when he's driving his car thread think about just that she got a car left on the sidewalk had their had their way again no reason just a reasonable suspicion should assess what is pulled the know so if mannerism think he's pleased nothing of this will treat that second class citizens police say the use of stop and search is critical in their efforts to tackle knife gone and gun crime but its efficacy and legality has been questioned by the equality and human rights commission two point two excessive use own. make minorities and they say in some areas up to three hundred people are stopped before a single arrest is made it's marginalizing entire communities just the experience of being repeatedly stopped and stopped for what seems like very little reason to stop for it seems to be just your ethnicity has a very damaging effect on the community and it makes the community feel that were

other than being a part of being protected there are problems being policed against a disconnect between the police and the people who was one of the factors found to have sparked all last august's riots the disturbances started here in tottenham after the shooting by police of a young black man and that the first anniversary of the riots approaches is the situation young people say hasn't got any better the metropolitan police say they are changing the way they work here they're attending a meeting with young black people in the area to listen to their concerns but tell me says it's all for show has been a pretty. attendant problems with engine and i.c. engine change in a week is on the perception to police that if the new approaches revised traded we're trying to engage with the community a lot more in numerous ways but they don't they don't seem to web l. me goes on with his legal training while getting shaken down by the police ten

times a week so in the future he can advocate to his community laura smith. on the other side of the ocean the authorities also stand accused next hour we talked to an occupy activist and a war veteran who was brutally beaten by police while protesting against corporations and their papa politicians he says the future of america should be defined by its people. there are a lot of veterans getting her by the system that is you know in the sense that they come back to a broken system a system that they feel disconnected from and that's why we're having a thousands of veterans a day commit suicide most likely we're either going to vote for a democrat or republican and i think what both of those are wrong choices they're both working for the same system that they both take money from the same people from the same banks and and we you can see in their policies that they are

rewarding their donors and voting for that continuance of policy is not going to change anything at all. turkey's government says his troops have killed one hundred fifteen kurdish rebels over the past two weeks and the stepped up offensive anchor is worried the kurds have been fighting for autonomy says ninety four could exploit the power vacuum in neighboring syria and some experts say the calls for regime change emanating from turkey are only making the situation worse. do syrian case very ironic case for turkey because turkey is for the first time demanding a regime change in syria which is a unique case in turkish history since the its creation in one nine hundred twenty three turkey for the first time demands a regime change in a neighboring country but this strategy we know is producing some counterproductive outcomes that is the autonomy of kurdish groups circle turkey i mean it is not

clear what to do with these to go to the kurdish groups nor to syria i am not saying all the kurdish groups in norton syria are against turkey as far as i know there are more than twenty five independent kurdish groups while some of them are seriously anti turkish mainly p y d. a's you know branch ignore to iraq war in iraq so it's not in syria so of course they resent to the favor of a set regime in syria i don't equally creates a huge single one over for g.t.t. lead kurdish organizations and there is an expectation in told to many kurdish groups are moving from north in iraq in order to syria. well turkey's involvement in the syrian conflict may be more than just rhetoric president assad's forces say they've captured turkish officers in the flesh point city of aleppo that himself has made first t.v. appearance in almost three weeks vowing to cleanse the country of terrorism the

statement came on the heels of a visit to damascus by the secretary of iran's supreme national security council during a visit to state pledged mutual support saying their alliance is an axis of resistance against western influence and also condemned their recent kidnapping of forty seven remains in damascus which president blames the rebel forces. valorous has decided to withdraw its embassy from sweden suggesting stockholm does the same by the end of august however minsk stressed it is not going to cut diplomatic ties with the country the tensions come after a swedish plane illegally crossed the belle russian border and dropped parachuting teddy bears carrying pro opposition slogans. least sixteen people have been killed by flooding in the capital of the philippines the worst delusion of yours triggered a major landslide emergency crews are evacuating tens of thousands of residents

some who were forced to use gave advance the waters by climbing on their rooftops downpour is expected to last at least another day. well time now to get the latest business news and you know maria i can't wait to see whether my prediction last hour by the european markets going out was true or false you were completely wrong. and that's why you're there i guess about here and this is the day where you should have all read actually but what could i say or i will see i'll have another probably prediction for you when the asian markets close i want to find out your opinion on that that's later but let's take a look at how europe opened up as i said in the red the footsie shattering almost half a percent there and germany's that lowing right behind there with a half of those losses basically we have investors focusing on u.s. and european banks there hoping to hear about further monetary moves in policies so people waiting to see what happens there now if we move on second look at the

russian markets they are firmly in the negative territory as well the r.t.s. and the my section over half a percent this hour now one thing that is not helping are investors right now is the fact that food prices are on their way down now we'll talk more on that a little bit later let's focus on the exchange rates right now and see how the euro dollar form when it comes to the euro it's still losing against the u.s. dollar and the ruble coming off its highs of the summer against both major currencies it's weakening to the google and the greenback this hour as well now if we can go back to europe and talk about greece seven floors has now lowered its outlook on the country from positive to negative basically the ratings agency says that it has doubts over whether the greek government will manage to make the cuts required to get the next tranche of cash from the e.u. now more details at least this time i have to say it was a credit rating downgrade because it doesn't have pretty much any lower the go if

you will. who are the troubled economy may need as much as seven billion euros this year to stay afloat that's given the fire. it's been shrinking for the last five years with unemployment skyrockets into twain super site. now and asia it's now the last hour of trading when it comes to the nikkei that's already closed in fact and we see that it gained over a half a percent of its borders in particular well also still mangers and in general what we saw asians reactance was a strong performance on wall street overnight which so i third straight session of gains when it comes to china we saw gains earlier on and this session but then ever burst and we see that a third of a percent and that's mainly because they are looking forward to a key economic report later out on thursday and obviously as we can sell there by the numbers are not very optimistic about that but let's move on. they're heading south they're coming down from their highest close in almost mons and all this is

due to speculation that the recent gains we saw were excessive and also the fact that there may be you can imagine the u.s. which is of course the biggest consumer of crude in the world now let's talk about norway's stance which is in talks with a gas from over its option in the gas development. and basically the talks are following reports that the norwegian company is looking to pull out from the project in favor of working on russia's energy rich arctic now more details on this stockman agreements between stops oil france's total and gas in late june with no new deals at hand the companies are in talks over the new plan to develop russia's arctic both sides well and so it's how are discussing options with no further details being made public but we do know that staff royle says its poor condition is lower taxes. and then there's one for you i've been telling you that the hang seng is a red territory do you think you'll manage to bounce back before it closes you know

what i'm not making any predictions this time. and i was trying to be optimistic and you. you know what they another euphemism for i have to miss i'm isn't as lack of information so right very good yeah exactly but i don't know you don't guess anything on politics were far away but i'll wait till next hour for you to phils love the information so see you then and in the meantime to watch a barrel of ale and his guest discussing the most topical issues on the worlds of chatter crossed august coming your way after the headlines stay with us.
