the german catholic church presses charges against of course the right copycats but destructed a service in cologne's cathedral and could now face an even longer jail sentence than there inspires. any talks between iran and the un's atomic watchdog come to nothing amid fears within iran giving its assistance to the agency for comment or hype writes. both america has rallied to ecuador's cause and declare and or seize diplomatic holy ground. red faced but still no last desperate virtually an aside. thank you for joining r.t.

this saturday it is three o'clock here in moscow i am karen tara well three years behind bars that's what german copycats of the infamous pussy riot punk band may get for storming colognes cathedral if slapped with the sentence the punishment would be even greater than that handed down to the russian trio they were imitating and germany now faces a dilemma as well being among the states which rush to condemn last week's verdict artie's peter oliver reports two men and one woman all in the early twenty's they interrupted a march service that was taking place in cologne chanting free pussy riot decked out in the garish balaclavas and 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. groc prayer in russia is main cathedral which offended many

orthodox christian believers the catholic church of press charges against the three people in germany 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 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

a public attitude towards the answer right from the streets of germany as something peter oliver describes in his twitter stream he says many agree the performance by the pussy riot copycats and the catholic cathedral was unacceptable and those who staged it deserve punishment you also have more news in brief and that's available at our t's general twitter stream. the. latest attempt to resolve a deadlock in the errani nuclear crisis has drawn a blank the u.n. nuclear agency failed to strike a deal with iran which could wipe out western concerns over suspected atomic weapons activities by the islamic state that has around reportedly installed more uranium enrichment machines at one of its salaries some experts by. and had no

other 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 at it is completely unrealistic so for iran 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 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 camp and to scientists working on the iranian nuclear program gareth porter a journalist and analyst on u.s. foreign policy says iran wants to know the and game before it yields to the agency's demands the i.a.e.a. 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 upper most in the. headlines are 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 to a contract to deliver an advanced air defense system the last three hundred much to get the deal was torn up 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 r.t.s. you've got to squelch reports. seek and destroy.

planes helicopters and even you name it the s four hundred triumph can locate and hyundai 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 as it's more it can literally create full scale defense anywhere on the ground within minutes all of the preparation takes now 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 ejaz 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 larger 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 as large just a few feet above the ground and up to nearly fourteen miles high in the skies 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 f. four hundred will completely replace the s three hundred its production has already been and it is that easter 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 recent conflicts of 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 targets nearly six hundred kilometers away and has a firing range of up to four hundred kilometers that's around five times more than . it's worse to analog the patriot ronald plans for exporting it just yet giving russia a chance for an unprecedented advantage against a new threat from the skies for at least the next twenty years you go to school of some other more shop coming up this hour how the labels made and goals are or the west bank are not likely to make much money palestinians claim the israeli occupation of their land and trade embargo is leaving them with no one to sell to. also don't dice with the greenpeace activists storm a russian raid in protest over drilling for oil in the arctic. there's been a huge boost of support for ecuador after the entirety of both america through

their weight behind quito in its condemnation of british threats to storm its embassy in london and a blow to the united kingdom the organization of american states declare that embassies are indeed inviolable it wasn't all smooth sailing however with the u.s. and canada both start british allies to mending amendments to the final statement they claimed britain wasn't threatening to raid ecuador's embassy just pointing out that it could and that according to attorney and the spanish host ever golinger demonstrates how divided the organization of american states really is it's the united states you can actually oppose the convening of this meeting in the first place and so the media in those positions throughout the meeting whereas the rest of latin america and the gridley and workers were doing and found it important to talk about and debate this issue that's affecting one of the members did you know they act in accordance with threats against one of their member states or when some

issue that's disturbing regional peace. and latin america standing together in unity that they absolutely will not let any other nation in the. and as powerful as i mean even goes their agenda or their will. and i think it was you know he was urged to the relevance of the organization of american states today as an industry that includes the us think you need to read clearly they're at odds with the rest of latin america and. still more bad luck for britain this time at home and again right at the ecuadorian embassy a journalist there managed to snag a few photos of a police officer holding a clip board showing restricted information it starts off by declaring the wiki leak or is to be arrested under all circumstances and then goes on to list how far police can go to lay their hands on the whistleblower including searching diplomatic bags and stopping embassy vehicles certainly dedication there but will it be enough you can have your say it r t dot com where we've got

a poll about where you think the sonship will and here's the results we have so far the majority of respondents believe they'll stay in the ecuadorian embassy in london amid the never ending standoff over a quarter of say a soldier will get a permit to leave ecuador as the u.k. will eventually succumb to public outcry now almost the same amount of people think the whistleblower will be smoked out of the embassy for eventual delivery to sweden for questioning over a sex crime allegations final rest claim he's likely to be handed over to the scandinavian state at the door if it gets a guarantee a songe won't end up in the u.s. he can join the vote at r.t. dot com. one man with a stake in all of this is a president who has welcomed the oas as final statement saying it demonstrated latin american solidarity rafał chorale spoke exclusively to our two spanish channel and said that ecuador may yet have to pay

a price for backing julian assange which is full interviews coming your way in the next hour but here's a preview. such a decision shouldn't have any consequences. 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 and who's interested it turns out that it could do a grant to store them to someone else it's certainly much of consequences there is definitely no but let's face it some leader might be reprisals which would be terrible if the u.k. for example was on these routes and invades your embassy to risk the stone age but when you mention how big of a precedent this would set. the long way lies ahead for greece with french president francois hollande declaring

any leniency for athens would depend on its austerity performance and how much were made at a meeting between the french leader and the greek prime minister on the on is some modest paris the p.m.'s appearance was the last in a series intended to convince european leaders to cut some financial slack gray says it will do all it takes to stay in the currency bloc that says it needs a breathing space to carry its hummer aging collimate asset management specialist philip of war drawn believes that's a long shot. greece is bankrupt i think there's no discussion about that today and it hadn't been two or three years ago even with the hardest possible were a lot of. extremely or very greece won't be able to pay back the huge amount of that they have loaded to their shoulder this whole only one way of rescue gaining of competitiveness in greece and this is the exit from the

eurozone. politicians always argue there are enormous cost in war with the exit of greece that's perfectly right but what is the amount of costs involved with greece staying within the euro zone and a very small size of relief in britain for new numbers show the economy has actually tanked a less than predicted but the very fact that the country is in recession is telling according to the kaiser report that's coming out after thirteen thirty g.m.t. racks and states you have all the latest from the murky world of finance. what happens when the government throws money to the oligarchs in the novel as the oil companies and the bankers because when they stop giving them money they can pull 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 georgia born young eton oxford you know friend of cameron georgie porgie in his bubble and fraud putting. in a long. term attention now to israel seizure of palestinian land which 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 turning israeli market as well or to sparsely or takes a closer look at the hardships of palestinian farmers and producers. 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 battlefield 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 they understand we're 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 originating in the settlements in palestinian territories they are seen by many as the foods of the occupation the work of movement. by god movement by god. distributors to carry products the problem is all in the name and it's difficult to make the products stand out from those from israeli settlements. 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 us love that we're just another love to be distributed in israel because. any brother. but it's will be rejected by the security is being restricted to the palestinian market is causing a glut and creating economic difficulties for the farmers. 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 the land it means. even 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 priest and stored as the order comes through the oil is pumped up here

from where it is box and bottled to international standards it appears demand is growing especially in the us we find that as much as our submission of the jobs and grabs 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 american as republicans and democrats are getting ready to put the election pedal to the metal so to speak as the presidential race is about to go full throttle and one of the major events during the homestretch are the parties this convention parties the resident went on to the

streets of new york to find out of the gatherings are really as decisive as the media presents them to be. in the u.s. republicans and democrats are about to hold their conventions to kick off the presidential election fever and 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 here do you spend a ton of money on it just by sheer do they are an advertisement temporized 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 mean you just said the key word business i think there's a lot of money on the table in american ballots and that's a bit of a worry is the cost that we were there for the truth. if they put money into the numbers or they 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 who do you think is 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 to the like either you don't like either one or. you think he's going to end. on a good job. a 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. now the conventions the nearest of which starts in just two days are definitely being seen as big events for the us protest movement which has planned several rallies the authorities are set to respond with tightened security measures including drones patrolling the skies jerod how meal was an activist planning to march on the republican national convention believes police are gearing up for war against a peaceful march. we're doing good jobs hope here we're village occasion quality and peace be with this city with the police who are gearing up for the work they're the ones who are using drones drones are only made the series are superior to 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 their head and we were oppressed by the state to the police and that's exactly what they're doing now if you look at any protests there if you look at their instruction words the violence goes on the ground is always coming from the police we don't endorse them we do and who are the other party we're tired of the one percent we're tired of being so we're tired of the wars overseas the systematic attacks on just about every person in this country. has plenty more in november's presidential election all at r.t. dot com including a look at what the candidates are spending record amounts of cash on. the zeroes are really matter of the u.s. presidential candidates deny shopping for twitter fans neutrals hordes of zombie followers eagerly subscribing to the election. and norwegian mass murderer on their

christopher williams who's an environmental activist himself thinks that greenpeace is targeting enemies that don't exist gel very keen to drill have been given allowances from the obama administration to begin an exploring the process it's opening up a whole new area of full oil and gas drilling and mining which was previously closed to those things and also close to shipping many oil companies in the west on the east of salivating over the prospects for. increasing the overs of 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 gazprom oil rig. take a look at what else making headlines around the world at least nine people have been wounded in 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 hit some bystander it's although the gunman didn't pull the trigger on police authorities claim they had no choice but to open fire. hundreds of supporters and opponents of egypt's president have clashed in colorado throwing fireworks and projectiles that each other the anti-government protesters accuse president morsi and the muslim
