good or gets overwhelming backing from fellow american nations and it's raw with britain over julian assange demming efforts to undermine the sanctity of the see. how many challenges sweden granted asylum but unfortunately in this particular case we see that some countries are displaying their colonial and imperial inhibitions archie's fantasy channel talks exclusively to the president about the door about what's behind his country's support for the world's most famous whistleblower. egypt's new leader extends a hand of friendship to china and iran and i've just read seen a country breaking away from washington so florence.

hello and welcome to our team we are on screen and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week now ecuador has scored another point in its diplomatic role with britain over granting asylum to join a sausage a thirty four member bloc of american nations has declared solidarity support for the country condemning the u.k.'s earlier threats to storm at sea in london to get to the whistle blower laura smith is in britain with the details of their law tell us please how did the meeting go and how united are the countries in their support of ecuador. well it was a long meeting held in washington. just just in the last twenty four hours of the organization of american states which is a thirty four member organization from all across latin america actually the usa and canada are also members and it was a meeting that lasted five hours but eventually got what it wanted out of the

meeting essentially the foreign minister made a speech in which he condemned britain for what he called an assault on all sovereignty he said that ecuador shouldn't be. as a colony as he said that the threats the perceived threats to by britain to storm the ecuadorian embassy he says that that's a throwback from colonial times essentially and eventually what happened was that these thirty four countries signed this resolution which rejects any attempts to put at risk the inviolate inviolability of diplomatic premises anywhere in the world and expressed solidarity and support for ecuador in their offering of asylum to julian assange but also to continue talks between ecuador and britain to try and sort out their diplomatic problems now this as we know since the days leading up to julian ourselves being granted asylum in ecuador have developed into

a proper diplomatic route as i say the usa and canada are members of this organization and they were very much against this meeting from the very beginning and they also then expressed reservations about the resolution that was passed in the end but it goes to show that particularly in its own region ecuador is not acting alone and it's now got huge international backing across the americas there was a representative from britain who was also that and he said again which is what britain have been saying all along that in fact no threat had been made against the embassy and but the ecuadorian foreign minister said that he is still ways. for approach from britain person says two things following this say that they never made threats again to storm the embassy and b they are committed to finding some kind of diplomatic solution to this route that ecuador says that it has had no proof from britain so that is not very helpful under the circumstances or might the resolution they have adopted change anything in britain's stance on the issue well it's not

it's not clear i mean it certainly builds up the international pressure the international support for ecuador and so therefore in turn the international pressure on britain but we've seen no movement in britain stance so far they still remain committed to arresting julian assange to fulfilling this court order which says that he must be extradited to sweden whatever happens and in fact we've seen further proof in recent days that britain is not going to abandon its plans to arrest him we had a policeman photographed outside the ecuadorian embassy one of the many policemen who is guarding the embassy twenty four seven holding this piece of paper a piece of restricted information and when it enlarged you can see on that piece of paper that it says that you know that song should be arrested essentially at all costs whatever it takes even if he emerges in some way in a diplomatic car even if as some have posited here merges into some kind of diplomatic crate or bag that is not going to just policed off arresting him really

very intent on arresting him and fulfilling this court order so that's a position that hasn't changed in the last few days and i see no reason that it will change as a as a direct result of this but as i say the international pressure is growing meanwhile dude in essence is of course still in the ecuadorian embassy in london still very unclear how he will get out all right live laura smith and his very own correspondent from the u.k. thank you laura. now a soldier's immediate future is certainly far from clear so let us know what you think is next for the whistleblower by taking part in our poll at our dot com here's how opinion is divided so far the majority of you believe hell stay in the f. word or an embassy in london amid the never and thanks stand up just a little over a quarter say our songs will get a permit to leave for atwood or as the u.k. will eventually succumb to public outcry around twenty percent think the

whistleblower will be smoked out of the embassy and handed to sweden for questioning over sex crime. and the rest believe will be passed to the scandinavian state by aqua door if it gets a guarantee of songs long and after the us you can have your say at r.t. dot com. well for ecuador it's not just about a song just fate any longer the country may still have to face horse consequences for rafael correa exclusively shared his view on the issue with our spanish channel his full interview is coming your way later today but here's a preview. normally such a decision shouldn't have any consequences if all countries respect international law which clearly says that the state has the right to draw into 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 but there is this interesting it turns out that if equador grant just saw them to

someone it's certainly much of consequences there is definitely no fear 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 our embassy to risk the stone age and how big of a precedent this would set. nuclear talks between iran and the un atomic watchdog have once again hit an impasse but no date set for further negotiations the islamic republic is stuck with crippling sanctions and continued accusations of pursuing an atomic bomb allegations were fueled by teheran reportedly stepping up its uranium enrichment program which it insists is peaceful jamal lobbed a from the national iranian american council says the country 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 would i think when it looked at the 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 you run has not begun to actually build a nuclear weapon they have not made that decision yet and so all this talk about war zones with munity and so forth is completely premature and counterproductive to actually resolving this conflict with the hoping to get a look inside iranian military bases one thing you won't find is the s. three hundred missile launcher still ahead an air defense system what's up with it

. and how it's being developed so i secured it left then you're in russia. and response to get the reassurance is that for this like its charm offensive in europe and that bringing more time for the economy. opponents of egypt's president have clashed with his supporters crowd surged in cairo and alexandria the anti-government protesters accuse president morsi and his muslim brotherhood party for overstepping their authority and undermining all of that morsi is partly trying to establish a new foreign policy that seen as moving away from american influence egypt's leader heads to china next week see last month then it's a trip to iran which is one of the lasts a long. right now michael hughes from the new world strategies coalition protects a significant rebalance of. the unspoken link here is

israel you know it's egypt can leverage this relationship and vice versa to put pressure on israel to stop you know this talk of bombing iran you know there's a connection for morsi starts looking like a geo political genius if you can pull this off if he can get i think israel though to step back on the whole bombing iran thing better be pretty amazing they find a partner in iran and they don't have to rely on us going with the lion israel and they can offset counterbalance the gulf monarchies they're trying to rebalance and shift away from the west and they need the media cash from the west they need it from the i.m.f. in the united states and the gulf monarchies but long term they want to get in bed with china who can fill the gap so they have to rely on the west gets asked to access the mediterranean in some suez canal priority which the u.s. gets currently. and you know because other than that it is hard to see that.

china's going to get much but those two things are pretty big they want they want port access and they want to ally align themselves with the nonaligned and align with the chips you know taken away from us is a win for china. egypt turbulent transformation can be found at our com we've also lined up plenty more for you to. the university all of the wild wild west colorado students can now pack guns as well as their school back. plus norwegian mass murderer on their sobriety heads for a decades long stay in jail where it turns out really might not be so bad after all . also missiles and bloodshed not a war zone but a football match russia against going on the rampage putting. their teams future competitions japanese.

thanks for joining our team russian energy giant gazprom has joined the club of companies literally coming under attack from greenpeace six environmental activist one of the firms floating oil rigs in the arctic in protest against plans to drill in the area despite warnings from platform workers activists managed to latch onto the rig suspending themselves all fifteen hours they claimed they were then sprayed with water from above and retreated quote to a void risks in the freezing conditions environmental campaigner christopher williams says several nations are getting recently interested in a slice of the arctic energy reserves that will greet. the oil that is

said to exist below the arctic is up to twenty five percent of world reserves there are countries vying for control of optical oil in those countries i think are pretty determined to start drilling in the russia being the first one that is now provoking protests from greenpeace scheldt very keen to drill and have been given allowances from the obama administration to begin an exploring the process it'll be interesting i think to find out whether 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 guys from oil rig and still to come on our t.v. homegrown products a struggle to break through a strict economic barrier. all as palestinian farmers see their point. go to waste because of this really regulations. and where in new york casket people there are

hoping or don't give two hoots about the democrats and republicans increasingly dominating their t.v. screens. no sign of relief for greece after its p.r. blitz in europe to try and win war time to enact the painful reforms promised to its creditors the greek prime minister has met the french president after seeing the german chancellor a day earlier but both of the e.u.'s key paymasters have held back from giving greece the breathing space it says it urgently needs angle americans under rising pressure at home with the parliament leaders saying neither the time nor the content can be renegotiated asset management specialist philip believes no matter how hard greece tries it won't be able to pay back what it. 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 word

a lot of caught on an extremely. grave greece won't be able to pay back the huge amount of that they have loaded to their shoulder there's a whole new one way of rescue regaining 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 britain may not be using the euro but its finances continue to feel the pinch from the eurozone debt woes despite this new numbers show the economy had actually tanked less than predicted the spark of optimism however gets the cold shower treatment from artie's max keiser and stacy herbert the full program is coming up later to. ok. so what happens when the government throws money at the the oligarchs and the monopolies the oil companies

and the bankers because when they stop giving them money they can pull the 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 or yahoo eaton oxford you know friend of cameron georgie porgie in his bubble and fryer toting. products labeled made in palestine are a symbol of pride for their producers however due to israel's economic blockade palestinian farmers struggle to get their goods to the rest of the world as artie's parsley or found out things are about to change. 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 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 in the settlements in palestinian territories they are seen by many as the foods of the occupation the work of movement as well as within it by car movement by car movement. and distributors. the problem is all in the name and it's difficult to make it 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 the love to be able to start another love to be distributed in israel because. any brother. but it will be rejected by the security is being 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 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 specially 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. election season in the u.s.

is entering the homestretch both republicans and democrats will hold their national conventions in the coming weeks artie's a new york task what is gatherings accomplish and whether anyone will notice. in the u.s. republicans and democrats are about to hold their conventions to kick off the president on election eve and so what are 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 politics they're all crooks yes but we have to choose right all crooks what do the conventions do do you think what do they do if they were so out of money that's what they do day 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 yeah do you spend a ton of money on it just basically or do they are an advertisement 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 got 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 ballot there and that's a bit of a worry is that because that would then for the truth. if they put money into it then obviously they want something out of it don't know 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 then like either you don't like either one or. you think he's going to end yeah i think you know are going to run a good job for you goes republican so i don't republican issue 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 the media is there give it's just about to start. and staying in new york which is still reeling from a deadly shootout at least nine people have been hospitalized after being wounded by gunfire near the empire state building officers were responding to a shooting where i sacked employee killed a former coworker firing at the gunman and killing him but also hitting standards in the process police say they had no choice but to open fire but investigators are still trying to figure out if the gunman pulled the trigger on the officers now in other world news. and oil refinery explosion in venezuela has killed at least nineteen people with reports of twenty five and wounded around fifty others

the blast also damaged. in nearby buildings i was apparently caused by a gas leak authorities claim the situation is now under control and firefighters in the national guard have been deployed to secure the site. trouble just keeps coming for greece this time though it is the wildfire is now skirting the suburbs of the capital helicopters firefighters and volunteers have been drafted in to stem the blazes which have already ravaged thousands of have tears of forests searing temperatures and high winds bring wildfires to greece every year but many of the summer are thought to have been started deliberately. to keep the country safe you need the hardware to match today's ever more sophisticated threats russia things it's got the answer and artie's you go to school at all has been watching the new equipment in action. seek and destroy. planes helicopters and even you name it the s four hundred triumph can locate and

hunt down almost any flying to or get. mission first target to 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 air 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. this is still can shoot down objects as small as a soccer ball even if they're flying at supersonic speeds ejaz one hundred system consist 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 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 and 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 s three hundred its production has already been and it is that is the 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 dying it's 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 a western analog the patriot there are no plans for exporting it just yet giving russia a chance for long precedent advantage against any threat from the skies for at least the next twenty years you go to school of r d southern russia all right and do stay with r.t. i'll be back with a recap of our main stories shortly. more
