hello and welcome to our team karen tara this friday and it's four o'clock here in moscow the catholic church is pressing charges against three german copycats of the russian punk band pussy riot after they disrupted a service in cologne cathedral a trio of activists could now face a prison sentence that's longer than the one given to their moscow counterparts last week's verdict on pussy riot sparked a wave of condemnation abroad including in germany peter all over takes up that story. well here in germany we're waiting to find out what three people took part in a copycat pussy riot style demonstration in the main catholic cathedral in cologne will be charged with now they took part in this demonstration two men and one woman all in their early twenty's they interrupted a mass service that was taking place in cologne chanting free pussy riot decked out

in the the garish and brightly colored clothes that have become synonymous with the the russian punk rock collective calling for these three people calling for the freedom of the three women that were sentenced to two years in jail now the catholic church of press charges against them we're waiting to find out exactly what they will be charged with now they could be charged with a breach of the peace and disrupting the free practice of religion the a lot of those charges brings with it a maximum penalty of three years in prison so feasibly these people taking part in the copycat version of the pussy riot demonstration pussy riot demonstration could actually find themselves spending more time in prison being sentenced to more time in prison than the people that they were trying to emulate now the head of the one of the senior figures in the catholic church in cologne has said that the right to demonstrate cannot be set up of the right to religious freedom and the religious

feelings of the congregation and in this case here in germany the people concerned could face three years in prison. peter is also following reaction to the story via his twitter feed there and he says that many germans on the streets say the protest performed by the pussy riot copycats in the church was on acceptable head over to twitter and check peter's page all mine for more updates. norwegian mass murderer on their sobriety who admitted killing seventy seven people and taunted the court with nazi salutes has been declared sane by georgia's he's been jailed for the maximum twenty one years for committing the country's worst atrocities since world war two with his bombing and gun rampage and all slow and toil island however broken down his sentence equates to just over three months for each of his victims vic's mark twenty heard the verdict which he is not going to appeal he

always insisted on his sanity and that the killings were part of this fight against the islamification of norway from our brave accent and son joined by terrorism expert. in oslo thank you for being with us mr lure us first of all i want to know what's behind the bravest phenomenon do you think it's the failure of multiculturalism that has made him as famous as years. in the over there is a lot of it's not look to me to truly brutal mean this. is a good movie. played a big role. you have had a significant immigration to norway over the last twenty twenty five years which has changed the conversation on the whole sort of culture of when it places but even that was the lift up was the ideology and the final motivation i think it's also a personal life story and. difficult to see how the in his early

childhood on this family the to that also made him into this character and that the order ideology was also an excuse so it's not a simple explanation for such an extreme phenomenon last bit of it let's say you are and also at the moment tell us how big is the problem with immigrants and their some aleisha in norway. well it's. they immigrants tend to congregate in certain parts of the city which means that. in many areas especially in the eastern part of the slower if you can call them ethnic not regional are clearly not in a minority and these demographic shift this is changing quite rapidly but it's not just from that to say that there is a big problem. because the immigrants are very group i mean they do not all come

from the same religion or the same country so they tend also to blend in some of them some groups blend in quite well so this is this is a very complex the phenomenon with certain immigrants coming from certain parts of the world's being far more difficult to integrate them others but of course given the job opportunities in norway on the list currently coming out and it is a challenge to our society like we have been more we have especially in the big cities to call his message in what's now are those private is the first ever criminal to get no. our way is maximum twenty one year sentence his case has already inspired one suspected it has inspired rather suspected radicals including this plan of a brave extol slaughter exposed in the czech republic do you think more will follow after this. i think it's inevitable that some some people will be

inspired. all over the scene turned to that. actually go wrong carrying. concrete or tucker i'm a police on the scale that i did i'm much more uncertain about it takes quite an exceptional in a negative way individual to carry out that i think did so i don't think we can sort of should expect to be in over a of these white boys are talking about that there will be some copycats that it will be an important figure and all more all summer here and certain in certain groups i think we have to be prepared for yes now a very briefly we have seen a rise in far right activities across europe even such politicians getting into office do you think there is a crisis of tolerance that the continent is facing at the moment. you could say it's over the level of immigration to large part of europe especially verse in europe flew your son your power be in new show over the last few years. to look

at all the countries on the context of the time periods. really immigrants always courses on turn change so i think we just have to bear in mind and take into consideration the. huge influx of immigrants over a short period of time is not easily acceptable to those originally living there are times to be managed in that in a careful manner all right mr lawrence thank you so much for your time terrorism expert. still ahead as greece struggles to satisfy its bailout deal its economy continues to deteriorate. but as athens pleads for more time up we ask if its future in the eurozone has already been decided. iran and the un atomic watchdog are holding fresh talks more than two months after the previous discussions failed there's already more international hype over teheran's

nuclear program with new uranium enrichment machines reportedly installed at one facility iran insists it wants peaceful energy but the west claims it's making a bomb james corba from the global news website corbett report doubts the new talks will get anywhere but not because of iran's on willingness to cooperate. unfortunately the i.a.e.a. has been exposed during this entire iranian dispute as as is little more than a gang of thugs rather than a bureaucratic agency that's trying to neutrally arbitrate this dispute and really what it demonstrates is that the nuclear powers that that currently exist are are really trying to enforce a monopoly on nuclear power and to dictating what countries can or cannot have access to that so that they're attempting to to hold the iranian government which is a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty to higher standards than other members of the i.e.e.e. who are currently using nuclear power and of course one of the biggest detractors

of iran in the iranian nuclear program is israel which itself is not a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and has hundreds of nuclear weapons itself which have never been publicly officially disclosed so there's there's a lot going on under the surface here but it just goes to show that unfortunately the i.e. decision has already been made before its report has even been finalized with little optimism of regarding the success of talks there's equally little hope for iran that western of post sanctions will be they're supposed to target the government however as want to iranian political commentator told r.t. from his personal experience they crippling penalties are hurting such a sense. wondering why do you any government is not taking the united states international courts because of that because the sanctions that the united states has imposed on iran are genocidal sanctions they're killing people they killing ordinary civilians or killing medics retired people killing people who have not got

nothing to do with iran's nuclear program it's affecting the whole family you know it's affecting my dad because he can't get the medication that he needs he was diagnosed with p.t.s.d. so for the past three decades he's been receiving medication and he became a diabetic after a few years and if you can't get the medicines then his life is in danger is not only diabetic people you have eight thousand hemophilia people in iran who badly need those medicines and they're not getting it because these medicines are being produced in the united states are being produced in the european union and because we can't buy them they can't use it and that's putting the life in danger and the united nations has shamelessly remained silent the united nations is practically doing nothing it is lost it has lost its credibility. iran's also a key topic in the u.s. presidential campaign with an answer to the stalemate over to iran's nuclear program seen as

a guaranteed vote winner and focusing on the upcoming election is also artie's cross talk with host peter lavelle and his guests discussing which of the candidates is really a man of the people that fall show is coming your way later this hour but here's a quick preview. we have of the person who is paying thirteen percent or about thirteen percent in federal taxes most middle class americans are paying twenty five percent or so that's class warfare to point out though they're saying the point today and to dare to point that out and say that that's a problem is class war so now there is you know what i someone who spent his formative years in britain the young communist league i was grinning because this idea that this is class of all things. written lawful class warfare is about who has power in the society and altering the taxation level and seeing who can get the better accountant has nothing to do with fundamentally changing the way people live without the romeos and a lot of money is largely irrelevant brecker barbour is surrounded by multimillionaires by billionaires george soros has more money than god for goodness

sake mainstream media which is losing wealth is largely behind the behind the democrats so i think that that is a digression i. turn our attention now to julian assange and dora who is standing by its decision to grant asylum to a songe for an indefinite period ignoring the threats by britain to storm its embassy in london in an interview to r.t. spanish channel president rafael correa has said his country's cause has united south america. only we supported him in a big scuse me but i can't seem to find a better word of it because of the diplomatic clumsiness of great britain they threatened us with violating the sovereignty of our embassy in order to arrest the son issue and this was brought together all the nations in south america and other parts of the world because this would have been pure barbarism it's an unacceptable risk which would break one of the ground principles he said which is lasted for ages the in viability of diplomatic missions yet the bolivarian alliance is

supported by the people of south america and you know sort of mainly for that reason if not for granting asylum mr president caress full interview will be coming up here on r t in the next hour with more of his thoughts on just how far the diplomatic standoff over julian assange or girl. alarming reports from bahrain which say security forces are using toxic gas in residential areas and the homes of opposition activists the use of tear gas as part of the continuing suppression and arrests of those taking part in the anti original protests or chair occurring on the island nation daily live to the bahraini capital now to talk to former m.p. site hardy almost all we who is also a former human rights chief and one of bahrain's a leading opposition party. mr almost so we thank you for being with us today now we've sort of become used to learning very little about what's happening in bahrain

what can you tell us about how widespread the protests are and whether the intense crackdown has become weaponized. the problem that's happening in bahrain do you hear me now yes. the problem that's happening in iraq since long time ago the people started to alone go with the arabs. raising their voice to have. real democracy here in bahrain the problem the offer of using the e.u. police force and violating human rights and how our security to just shut up everyone not cannot say anything and you know that may be a blow job been. contracted for. three years and. just because the try to raise his face the violation and the

the. violation of. done by the also the is under a very are in this world everybody see what's happened lots of people being killed lots of evil being injured and they did not accuse anyone from the our thirteen yes i can say that they they they took some police people with grades to the courts but they did not charge anyone of high grades who send the commands and are responsible of what's happening here in bahrain this just the sorry i'm sorry to interrupt the mention of you over a job and i do want to get to him now he was serving three months for his comments made on twitter there he is serving now three years for inciting protests tell me can i do you think he can win an appeal against that as well. there's

a big problem you regardless the last quarter decision made by the court yesterday and he was announced as an assistant but the only other hand he's been to long after that they said you are innocent no. i'm sorry now three years another three years on t.v. may spend some some some time i've never moans or weeks or whatever and we are really dotty should be immediately already is that because there is no case he can look for a used one demonstration he did not call for on the violence and not nothing else and if every if by the nose down so we could all root for immediate release of levy rajab and everybody in this world are calling to say my there are thirty friends. government's own human rights.

organizations or only bodies in this. condo this. decision done by the. we can't understand that we believe on the view not jim but we are we are going out of time and i'm sorry to interrupt you but i do want to get this last question and very briefly yesterday the king of bahrain was given the red carpet treatment by the british prime minister during their third meeting why do you think we didn't hear any strong statements from downing street condemning human rights abuses. this is a remarkable point here in the in the relationship between our country and they have friends like american and british they don't announce what's going on in the closed rooms only is they announce some general information and they don't say what's happening and i'm sure that the downing street ten downing street are happy

with the authority of when violating the human rights and in not wanting to be people demands on the. let's say right to live as a human and this was i view of that the what's being announced by the plane is just the passion of what's happened on that meeting and the alerts are. lots of. talents from the british prime minister and we believe that he should in consideration that he should give the rights according to the human rights and according to the. mr i'm so sorry but unfortunately that's all the time we have thank you so much for your time former boss or any m.p. live from unama saeed. thank you.

a tailspin it's collapsing an incredible almost on precedent a grit that suddenly everything is going to switch around is really not going to harm the situation for mrs merkel who has got a terrible dilemma is she's actually going to have to do something radical that she hasn't done before the euro crisis which is making a decision to look actually how she made any decisions a couple of years ago it would have been a lot better than the even last a plus the sticking plaster is that if you don't like to these euro crisis the truth is there's no messing around here greece is buying property that will start to get more vertical and mrs merkel must agree with her of our ventures she has to inject greece from the euro because tragically it's the only humane solution for everybody involved. in the meantime the greek prime minister as thinking the unthinkable admitting the country might how to lease or even cash in some of its inhabitants islands to square the books we've got that poll story at r.t. dot com. plus

tell us more katie what does this all mean hi carol well yes the party they want to assess america's should print its way out of the crisis or fix the dollar to gold again but jacob know that morgan stanley told us that hurts washington's ability to react. i don't think so i think if you have a currency is just but by the gold standard you won't have the kind of flexibility to intervene when you have a crisis think what happened when lehman brothers went and the authorities searched all the soil. since then through the crisis we've the third to intervene toyman again i'm not saying that there are negative consequences to those interventions but it did. hadn't intervened there's a so there's a significant risk that would be a far worse place than yours in the great depression in america unemployment was in the teens low twenty's for you know you know america it's just eight percent i think it's a lot worse than it could it is a lot better but it could have been and their homes could have been tied if they'd
