the german catholic church presses charges against pussy riot call picard's who disrupted a service and polos cathedral and could now days an even longer trail sentence than that inspire a. new tools between tom iran and the un's atomic watchdog come to nothing and fears within iran that giving its assistance to the agency will come at a high price. and both america's rally to aqua duals cause and declare embassies diplomatic holy ground leaving britain red phase to but still no less desperate for .

international news and comment live from moscow this is the with our thanks for joining us three years behind bars the asshole german court because of the infamous pursue riots punk band may get forced storming colos casy dro if sloppy with the centers the punishment would be even greater than that handed down to the russian trio they were imitating germany faces a dilemma dilemma now being among the states which rush to condemn last week's verdict as a piece on a report. 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 balaklava some 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 for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and the group pussy riot had

performed a so-called punk rock prayer in russia's main cathedral which offended many orthodox christian believers now the catholic church of press charges against the three people here in germany and 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 could actually find themselves being sentenced to more time in prison than the people that they were trying to emulate but it's all very interesting that this is happening here in germany germany of course was one of those countries that was particularly critical of moscow's handling of the pussy riot trial in russia now it seems that germany is facing a similar type of situation itself whereby three people could face up to three years in jail for performing a demonstration a political demonstration in

a church. and the public attitude towards the incident on call on rise from the streets of germany something p.c.l. of a describes in his twitter strain and he says corey that performance by the police arrived copycats in the catholic cathedral was unacceptable and those who staged it deserve punishment more news in britain is also available as john helped push a string of. the latest attempt to resolve a deadlock in the iranian nuclear crisis has drawn a blank the u.n. nuclear agency fails to strike a deal with tel ron which could wipe out west and concerns of a suspected atomic weapons see if it sees by the islamic state that's as iran's reportedly installed a more uranium enrichment machines at one of its facilities some experts believe

has had no one choice western sanctions have been escalating the pressure on iran has been escalating and to expect a country to sit on its hands well it's having these pressure tactics level that at it is completely unrealistic so for iran when it i think when it looks at this situation it had several opportunities regarding how does it respond how does it escalate in turn and it could have taken far more provocative actions i think actually installing these centrifuges was probably the lowest grade retaliation. to the western sanctions and some of the threats of war at the end of the day it's still the judgment of the united states of israel of all of the western intelligence agencies that iran has not begun to actually build a nuclear weapon they have not made that decision yet and so all this talk about war zones of immunity and so forth is completely premature and counterproductive to

actually resolving this conflict. international atomic energy agency is seeking access to a key military base near tel raanan to scientists working on the iranian nuclear program and gareth porter a journalist and i list on u.s. foreign policy is as a ron wants to know the end game before its heels to the agency's demands the i.a.e.a. is following a general string a script or a strategy that is clearly determined by the major powers primarily the united states which is to keep iran on the defensive in order to do that of course to keep the idea uppermost in the in the headlines covering this issue of the iranian nuclear program that the iranians are unwilling to cooperate with the i.a.e.a. the issue here is not whether iran is willing to allow the agency to come to

look at this site that has been requested by the agency but rather whether the agency is willing to agree to a set of principles governing the broader set of issues surrounding the cooperation between iran and the agency and this is primarily a question of whether iran will be allowed to have an exit from the process of being examined or investigated by the i.a.e.a. the i basically does not want to have any sort of end point to the process even if the iranians cooperate fully. iran's relations with russia have soured of late after moscow council the contract to deliver an advanced defense system the s three hundred most interest angered the deal was torn out following the un security council's arms embargo russia meanwhile has been developing the project further with an even more sophisticated version of the weapon. this can offer ports.

seek and destroy. planes helicopters and even you name it the s four hundred triumph can locate in one day down almost any flying target. machine first the target is spotted and identified then the system starts monitoring it all following its course then the command makes the call to either eliminate the target or not after getting the green light the system opens fire one of the strong suits of the system as it's mobility it can literally create defense anywhere on the ground within minutes of preparation takes no more than five minutes and everything's done by three people one officer and two conscripting soldiers. this is still can shoot down objects as small as a soccer ball even if they're flying at supersonic speeds. one hundred system consists of several elements one radar which monitors the skies looking for targets

a second one which follows specific targets of command and the launcher itself or the gun as it's called here in the army combines the elements of the system can follow up to three hundred dog it's flying from as low or just a few feet above the ground and up to nearly fourteen miles high in the skies were just pretty much around six times higher than the average passenger jet. the first as four hundred systems are already in service and along with the older ass three hundred and bonser s. protect the skies over moscow st petersburg and the central industrial region of russia it is planned that the s. four hundred will completely replace the past three hundred its production has already been and it is that is there yes three hundred is capable of intercepting targets not higher than thirty kilometers which isn't enough since we're only covering small areas but when the altitude capacity is raised we can protect larger territories. analysts say the recent conflicts in libya and other parts of the

world have shown how vital it is to have reliable defense not only from threats from the skies but from space also and this is what the s four hundred was designed to do it can locate doggett's nearly six hundred kilometers away and has a firing range of up to four hundred kilometers that's around five times more than its western analog the patriot there are no plans for exploring it just yet giving russia a chance for an unprecedented advantage against any threat from the skies for at least the next twenty years you've got was going off our d. southern russia. and still ahead for you this hour here on our she was stuck. by us reporting success in killing a major taliban leader in another drone a time experts believe this strikes damage rather than bring peace in the countries they target. and also how the label made in gaza is not quite clear to make much money christine ians claim these are really occupation of their land and trade

embargo is leaving them with no one to sell to find out more later in the program. but now there's been a huge boost of support for ecuador for the entirety of birth america is through their weight behind quito in its condemnation of british threats to storm its embassy in london in a blow to the united kingdom the organization of american states declared that embassies are indeed inviolable. all smooth sailing through with the in the u.s. and canada are both staunch british allies demanding amendments to the final statement on the claims of britain wasn't threatening to raid ecuador's embassy just pointing out that it could and that according to attorney and aussies punish host ever got into demonstrates how divided the organization of american states really. the united states and canada actually oppose the convening of this meeting in the first place and so they maintain those positions throughout the meeting whereas the rest

of latin america and the gridley and we're of course welcoming and found it important to talk about in debate this issue that's affecting one of the member states you know they act in accordance with threats against one of their member states or when some issue that's just irving regional peace is taking place here and latin america standing together to show in unity that they absolutely will not let any other nation as powerful as i mean even impose their agenda or their will upon the peoples of latin and i think again it was a show it was force of the relevance of the organization of american states today as an industry that includes the u.s. and canada and clearly there are ads with the rest of latin america in the caribbean. and i quote also president has a welcome to the final statement saying it demonstrated latin american solidarity. spoke exclusively to our spanish channel and said that ecuador may yet have to pay

a price for backing. its full interview is coming at eight thirty g.m.t. but here's a preview. normally such a decision shouldn't have any consequence is if all countries respect international law which clearly says that the state has the right to grant asylum how many times is sweden granted asylum but unfortunately in this particular case we see that some countries are displaying the colonial and imperial ambitions there is this interesting it turns out that equador grants asylum to someone it's certainly much of consequences there is definitely new but let's face it really there might be reprisals which would be terrible if the u.k. for example. roots and invades or if they seek to risk the stone age but when you mention how big of a precedent this would set. greece is on the last leg of its p.r. blitz in europe with its prime minister meeting the french leader later today in

hopes of convincing him to cut athens some financial slack on friday until this summer is met with german chancellor angela merkel such as certain athens would all of its bailout comment and keep cutting some members of her own government are less sure and increasingly speculating about a possible greek exit from the eurozone athens however says it will do all it takes to stay in the chorus a bloc that says it needs a breathing room to shore. hammering economy that asset management specialist philip believes that a long shot. greece is bankrupt i think there's no this question about that today and it hadn't been two or three years ago even with the hardest possible work and a lot of. stream of austerity. greece won't be able to pay back the huge amount of that they have loaded to their shoulder there's only one

way of rescue gaining of competitiveness in greece and this is the exit from the euro zone and politicians always argue there are enormous cost in war with the exit of chris that's perfectly right but what is the amount of costs in war with greece staying within the euro zone. is where a seizure of palestinian land brings with it they added extra of a harsh economic blockade any products made and also really prevented from making their way to the outside world but they're kept from the israeli market as well oh she's policy it takes a closer look at the hardships of palestinian farmers and produces. this tiny bottle of olive oil is at the heart of an economic battle it may be small and expensive but it's one of those products that defines where people stand in the ideological battle field of the middle east from palestine to europe and beyond each purchase is seen as

a shot in an economic war. other people are not sufficiently aware that israeli settlement products are competing with palestinian products abroad also when we tell the customer that there is a difference between settlement products and israeli products and they understand we are living under occupation and they can choose what products to buy or not and more and more consumers are choosing not to buy israeli products the region eighteen of the settlements in palestinian territories they are seen by many as the foods of the occupation the world government has within it by god movement by god. and distributors together melissy and brothers. the problem is that we're in a maze and it's difficult to make a product stand out from those from israel says one of. our products can't say made in palestine because we're under occupation and not yet a state they can say made in the west bank or made in gaza or a palestinian product and for some companies like the palestinian pharmaceuticals company in the west bank it's even worse it can't even sell in its own backyard

a lot of the love to be able to start the love to be distributed in israel because . it's with. but it will be rejected by the security has been restricted to the palestinian market is causing a lot and creating economic difficulties for the farmers. everyone here grows olives and so the local market is very small and the competition big we don't get much money for either it is part of a bigger problem when the demand is there the occupation means more often than not farmers are prevented from gathering water or even getting to their land it means more than half of palestinian crops go to waste but there is hope in a corner of the remote city of janine this private company is helping farmers overcome their troubles and get into international markets here the islands are processed pressed and stored as is an order comes through the oil is pumped up here

from where it is oxfam bottled to international standards it appears demand is growing especially in the us we find that as much as much of the jobs. are excited to find anything in specialty goods in the marketplace there are calculating ok what backlash am i going to get from bloggers in the marketplace this snag is that these products sell for almost double their value because of the cost of getting them to market the hope for producers here is that this supporters around the world won't begrudge the few extra dollars for a bottle of olive oil and rather they'll see it as a gesture of support. janine in the palestinian autonomy. and has a can of raid on our home israel is also making life difficult for those trying to make peace that's for police to taser a pilot to know saw those five were right in front of his kids for trying to stop a bullet in the back and also by.

thank you.

thank you welcome back this is all see america's republicans and democrats are getting ready to put the election pedal to the mat so as the presidential race is about to go full throttle under one of the major events during the hottest race are they part of his conventions oh she's the resident went on to the streets of new york to find out if the gatherings are really as a decisive as the media presents them. in the u.s. republicans and democrats are about to hold their conventions to kick off the presidential election fever and so what are these conventions even do this week let's talk about that you're throwing your eyes i say convention into that stuff

why are you into the politics they're all crooks yes but we have to choose right all crooks what are the conventions do do you think what do they do they were so out of money. but they do good for media purposes because they can create a lot of hype around certain condit so yes i think they do too so we really need more hype. in today's world here because kind of politics has become my show business hasn't it but it has in the kind of it the purpose of the convention i would assume is to make people more interested in give them more information about their candidate so they can vote for them do you need more information i think people already make up their minds without too much information as it is and that's one of the problems do you spend a ton of money on it just by sheer do they bother and every charge we can prize on the news and then it stops at a certain time and then from then on it's business as usual so we don't do this where you go from start to start and i think that i think you just said the key word business i think there's a lot of money on the table in american ballot there and that's a bit of

a worry is the case that we were there for the truth. if they put money into the numbers that i want something out of a donor but i think the whole political process is crazy the amount of money they spend on ads and different things it's just ridiculous and it's not truthful the ads are generally false fake and just you know don't really serve any purpose it's a lot of waste of money for the taxpayers you know do you think it's going to get dirty or romney or obama. romney who do you think is going to win. why. because of mitt romney he doesn't appeal there like either and you don't like either one or i think there to obama doesn't do it for my point of view i think will get a second term in. barack obama you think he's going to end up in the dark and he's done a good job was a republican so i don't republicans you going to vote for romney. no choice. that sounds real like that we have. seen whatever you choose to do with it whatever

like president you have to choose it's going to make it a huge influence on the world it's not just on the american people but it's actually on the world that we have more responsibility absolutely no matter what the conventions do or don't do the bottom line is the media is going to try to make them seem really really important so grab your popcorn the media circus is just about to start. but the conventions the nearest of which starts in just two days are being seen as big events for the u.s. protest movement which has planned several rallies. to respond with tightened security measures including drones patrolling the skies and jarrad home though there's an activist planning to march in the republican national convention believes police saw gearing up for war against a peaceful. demanding good jobs health care for village occasionally quality and peace and with that the city the state the police are gearing up for the war

they're the ones who are using drones drones are only meant to serve for surveillance and even wars overseas and all we're doing is is having a protest what is being done here is the protesters are being branded as terrorists every time in this country people get together people unify in a mass movement they are heavily repressed by the state and the police and that's exactly what they're doing now if you look at any protests as you look at a mass demonstration or as the violence always something violent there's always some from the police we don't interest them we don't and and sources are part of the one percent work fire being we're tired of the wars of the sea and the systematic attacks and just about every person in the country. let's now take a look at. stories making news around the world at least nine people have been good

and indiscriminate police gunfire near the empire state building in new york after a fashion designer shot dead is former coworker at the incident sparked a blaze of police gunshots which also had bystanders although the gunman didn't shoot of the police authorities claim they had no choice but to open fire. hundreds of supporters and opponents of egypt's president clashed in cairo throwing fireworks and projectiles at each other the anti-government protesters accuse president morsi and his muslim brotherhood party of overstepping their force here and undermining parliament there angry crowds gathered in tahrir square which has become synonymous for egyptian protests since hosni mubarak was forced out last year. the new appointed you and representatives to syria has said he's peace mission left he will fly out of humbled and scared. me brahimi

a target hundreds of miles away you creating the next generation of enemies because i tell you right now i don't know this for a fact but of those eight hundred folks killed probably two thirds of more innocent civilians just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time the very folks who are after our now going against our ally the pakistani government the taliban that the pakistani taliban are now destabilizing the pakistani government these drone strikes are helping encourage that so we are helping to stabilize the very ally we're looking to have help us again the secondary effects are very clear here that we are destabilizing the region that we're dealing with and the government is trying to we're asking to help us. and up next the secrets on the wall the final says i'm really now kaiser report child does not have a very free compound headlines and he was.
