the german catholic church presses charges against pursue riot squad because he disrupted his service and polos cathedral and could not face an even longer jail sentence inspire its. torn between tehran and the view of the toy courts dog come to nothing amid fears with iran that giving its assistance to the agency will come at a high price. i'm boss america's a rally to edward rules cause and declare this is diplomatic holy ground leaving britain red faced but still not as desperate for jordan as.

means who live for moscow hello and welcome to the program three years behind bars that's what german call because of the infamous pursue ride punk band may get for storming colognes cathedral if slapped with this sentence the punishment would be even greater than that hundred down to the russian trio they were imitating and germany faces a dilemma now being among the states which rush to condemn last week's verdict as all his piece to all of our reports. 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 the freedom of the three women that were sentenced to two years in jail for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred now the group pussy riot had performed a so-called punk rock prayer in russia's main cathedral which offended many

orthodox christian believers 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 the charges brings with it a maximum penalty of three years in prison so physically 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 well 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. the public and shoot towards the incident in cologne right from the

streets of germany is something all of a describes in his twitter stream and he says many of grief by the police are right call the cowards in the catholic cathedral was an acceptable staged it deserved punishment news in brief is also available at our twitter stream. their latest attempts to resolve a deadlock in the rain in nuclear crisis has drawn a blank in the u.n. nuclear agency fails to strike a deal with terrorism which could wipe out western concerns over suspected atomic weapons activities by the islamic state and reza marashi from the national reign american council believes the issue is more a battle actual conflict between the us and iran i think it's important for our

talks to happen on multiple levels it is important for iran to continue with cooperation and dialogue with the i.a.e.a. it's also important for iran and the permanent members of the security council plus germany to continue their discussions which unfortunately have come to a standstill by the most important thing that has not yet happened is a direct bilateral u.s. around channel of communication we haven't seen something like this in over three decades because what the united states after mike's to portray as a conflict between the international community and iran really is more or less a bilateral conflict between the two countries and then you have the rest of the world taking sides or trying to stay out of it or at best so until that kind of direct channel can can be opened up and be kept out of public view so that the spoilers can muck up the process i think we're going to continue to see more of the same. the international atomic energy agency is seeking access to a key military base near tel iran to scientists working on the iranian nuclear program gareth porter a journalist and analyst on the u.s.

foreign policy says iran wants to know the end game before it heals to the agencies that iran. is following a general stroop 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. headlines covering this issue of the iranian nuclear program that the iranians are unwilling to cooperate with. 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. 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 most co-counsel the contracts to deliver an advanced defense system they asked three hundred march to terrans under the deal was torn up fall in the un security council's arms embargo russia meanwhile has been developing the project father with an even more sophisticated a violation of the weapon. for ports. seek and destroy. planes helicopters and even you name it the s four hundred triumph can locate and hunt down almost any flying target. 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 is a small it can literally create a defense anywhere on the ground within minutes all of the preparation takes not more than five minutes and everything's done by three people one officer and two conscripting soldiers. the system 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 a specific targets a 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 targets flying from was lowered just a few feet above the ground and up to nearly fourteen miles high in the skies were

you are some kind of staunch british allies demanding amendments to the final statement on the claims that britain wasn't some rattling to raid ecuador's embassy just pointing out that it could and that according to attorney and also he's punished ever go into their entres how divided is the organization of american states or. even states in canada and actually oppose the convening of this meeting in the first place and so the meeting in those positions throughout the meeting whereas the rest of latin america and the group b. and we're of course welcoming and found it important to talk about and 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 issues it's disturbing regional peace. and that america's standing together to show how in unity they absolutely will not let any other nation and as powerful as i mean even close their

agenda or their will upon the people's land and i think again it was a show it was worth 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 group. for britain this time at home and began a riot the ecuadorian embassy joe is there managed to snag a few photos of a police officer holding a clipboard showing restricted information it starts all by declaring the weekly to be arrested under all circumstances and it goes on to list how far police going to go to lay their hands on the whistleblower including searching diplomatic abides and stopping embassy vehicles and it certainly did occasionally there but one of the enough of your say at all to eat off the land where would go a whole of out of where you think i will end up is the result so far the majority

of respondents believe we'll stay in the ecuadorian embassy in london i mean the never ending standoff over a quarter say our sons will get up to leave ecuador as the u.k. will eventually succumb to public outcry almost the same amount of people think the whistleblower will be smoked out of the embassy for eventual delivery to sweden for the sex crime allegations and the rest claim that he likely to be hundred to the scandinavian stayed by ecuador if it gets a guarantee i won't end up in the do join the world as. one man with a stake in all of this is ecuador's president has welcomed the final statement saying it's demonstrated latin american solidarity and spoke exclusively to r.t. spanish channel and said that aquittal may yet have to pay a price for back in june and as such it's all interviews coming your way in twenty minutes time 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 to some of them how many times is sweden granted asylum but unfortunately in this particular case we see that some countries are displaying their colonial and imperial ambitions there is this interesting it turns out that if it's a dog run just saw them to someone it's certainly much of consequences there is definitely no fear but let's face it a leader might be reprisals which would be terrible if the u.k. for example on these routes and invades our embassy to risk the sun but can you imagine 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 amazing the french leader later today in hopes of convincing him to cut after some slack on friday and there's some artist

that will challenge chancellor angela merkel for such a sad athens would only a bailout let's keep cutting from members of her own government less show and increasingly speculation about a possible greek exit from the viewers on how us as it takes to stay in the car is a blog but says it needs breathing room to kill it or if you're calling me that i think bad judgment specialist a third of all down believes it's a long shot. greece is bankrupt i think there's no discussion about that today. two or three years ago even with the hardest possible were a lot of cut and extremely austerity and very small won't be able to pay back the utrum out of there they have loaded to their shoulder there's only one way of rescue of competitiveness increase and this is the exit from the eurozone.

politicians always argue there are enormous costs involved with the exit of course that's perfectly right but what is the amount of costs involved with greece staying within the euro zone. very small cya relief in britain where new numbers showed the corner we had actually tongue to less than predicted but the very fact that the country is in recession is telling according to the kaiser report that's coming up next hour marxist stacie have all the latest from the medical world of finance. this is what when the government throws money to the oligarchs and the monopolies the oil companies and the bankers because when they stop giving them money they can call the old atlas shrugged that we like. you know we're not going to work anymore we're in a gatekeeper position we're wedged into the economy if you don't give us more money we're call systemic collapse which is ridiculous because the government if they want to give away money they should give it away to the entrepreneurs' they should

give it away to the consumers it is a consumer economy after all why not help the consumers know that never go to george osborne yeah i'll do x. for you know friend of cameron georgie porgie in his bubble and fraud putting. seizure of palestinian land brings with it the added extra of a harsh economic blockade any products made there are not only prevented from making their way to the outside world but they're kept from the israeli market as well as he has put us here 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 when. 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 do you understand we are living under occupation and we 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 boycott movement of. movement by. distributors to get even a c.m. products the problem is all in the name and it's difficult to make a product stand out from those families when systems. are 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 this 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 or not 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 but. everyone here grows olives and so the local market is very small in 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 a measure of the jobs. are excited to find anything in specialty goods in the marketplace. they are calculating ok what backlash am i going to get from zionist bloggers in the marketplace this snag is that these products sell for almost double the value because of the cost of getting them to market the hope for producers here is that the 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 policy r t janine in the palestinian autonomy. 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 and while the major ones during the home straight are the policies conventions the resident went on to the streets of new york to find out if the gatherings are really as decisive as the media presents them.

in the u.s. republicans and democrats are about to hold their conventions to kick off the presidential elections the event so one of these conventions even do this week let's talk about that you're growing your eyes i say convention internet stuff why are you into the politics of all crooks yet 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 that's what 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 to hear do you spend a ton of money on it just by whether an advertiser can prize you 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 have to 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 where is that within for the truth. if they put money into the numbers and 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 dirtier romney or obama. romney who do you think is going to win. why. because of mitt romney it doesn't appeal then like either you don't like either one or. you think he's going to end here i think you don't reckon he's done a good job. republican so i don't republicans sure you're going to vote for romney . no choice 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 and the media circus is just about to start.

about the conventions the nearest to wage starts in just two days and definitely being seen as big events for the us precious movement which has planned several rallies set to respond with tightened security measures including drugs patrolling the skies and carried him out as an activist planning to march on the republican national convention believes police on gearing up a war against a peaceful church would do any good jobs health care for boys occasion equality and peace with this city the state police are gearing up for war they're the ones who are using drones drones only make sure you use for surveillance in the wars overseas and all we're doing 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 and people unify in a mass movement there haven't we were oppressed by the state of the police and

that's exactly what they're doing now if you look at any protests now if you look at the mass demonstration words the violence although some of the rounds is always coming from the police we don't want to do it with them we don't and it's or some other part we're targeting one percent we're tired be both we're tired of the wars of seizing the systematic attacks on just about every person in this country. what's notable about this election is that the sheer amount of money the buzz from trying to kind of that sable to raise and spend but when you look at them on to the things they are buying it's no surprise as you can find. out the zero isn't really in line so you want a presidential candidate deny shopping for twitter funds well need to show cause of the song be followers eagerly subscribe to the election. and a widget mass madra and as brave it has for

a decade long stay in jail wait turns out it really might not be so bad after all on this new owner he's new quarters and many other stories at r.t. dot com. russia's energy giant has joined the club of companies coming under have tom crum greenpeace activists stormed oil platform owned by gas prom and dug themselves in by erecting climbing towns on the sides and despised workers trying to knock the protesters from that position by showering them with ice cold water the demonstrators managed to cling on for fifteen hours greenpeace is currently running a campaign against reigning in the region and its main target so far has been showered christopher williams who's an environmental activist himself things that

the green face is targeting enemies that don't exist. gel very keen to drill and have been given allowances from the obama administration to begin an exit exploring the process it's opening up a whole new area for oil and gas drilling and mining which was previously closed to those things and also close to shipping many oil companies are in the west on the east of salivating over the prospects for. increasing their oil reserves through drilling in the arctic so it's not just about russia b.p. shell gazprom. trying to open up the entire area for extensive drilling it's a tragic irony that climate change largely caused by fossil fuel production largely caused by the drilling for oil is now facilitating more drilling for oil which is leading now to extra protests it'll be interesting i think to find out with

greenpeace i would expect them to also be protesting just as vigorously western oil companies when they start drilling as they have been now occupying the gas from oil rig. take a look at some other world news in breve this hour at least nine people have been wounded in indiscriminate police gunfire near the empire state building in new york it came after a fashion designer shot dead his former coworker the incident sparked a blaze of police gunshots which killed the shooter but also had bystanders although the gunman didn't pull the trigger on police or force his claim they had no choice but to all of the five. hundred the supporters and opponents of egypt's president have clashed in cairo throwing fireworks and projectiles at each other the anti-government protesters accuse president morsi and the muslim brotherhood overstepping their or forty and more polis in power the angry crowds gathered in
