gets overwhelming backing from fellow american nations and it's rather with britain over julian assange is condemning efforts to undermine the sanctity of embassies. there is definitely no fear but let's face it there might be reprisals which would be charitable r.t. spanish channel talks exclusively to work with president about the hurdles these countries may face for backing the world's most famous whistleblower. and egypt's new leader extends and friendship to china and iran and it just is seen as the country breaking away from washington's influence. hello ten pm saturday night here in moscow you're watching r.t.
2:01 pm
it's good to have you company. first could all scored another point to this diplomatic row with britain over granting asylum to julian assange thirty four member bloc of american nations has declared solidarity and support for the country condemning the u.k.'s earlier threats to storm its embassy in london to get to the whistleblower. in britain and brings us the details. it was a meeting that lasted five hours but eventually ecuador 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 your sovereignty and eventually what happened was that these thirty four countries signed this resolution which rejects any attempts to put at risk the inviolability of diplomatic premises anywhere in the world and and expressed solidarity and support for ecuador in their offering of asylum to julian our stance but also to continue talks between ecuador and britain to try and sort out their diplomatic
2:02 pm
problems the usa and canada are members of this organization and they were very much against this meeting from the very beginning and they all say their 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 but we've seen no movement in britain and stance so far they still remain committed to arresting julian assange and adds 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 that says that doing that so i should be arrested essentially at all costs whatever it takes even if he emerges in some way in
2:03 pm
a diplomatic car even if as some have posited here merges in some kind of diplomatic create or that is not going to put the british police off arresting him they're 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 julian assange has of course still in the ecuadorian embassy in london still very unclear how he will get out. well for ecuador it's not just about a science his fate in a longer is the country may still have to face harsh consequences for its gesture rafia career exclusively shared his view on the issue with r.t. spanish channel it's a preview of his interview coming your way at twenty thirty g.m.t. . normally such a decision shouldn't have any consequences that is if all countries respect international law which clearly says that the state has the right to grant asylum
2:04 pm
how many times has sweden granted asylum but unfortunately in this particular case we see that some countries are displaying their colonial and imperial ambitions there and this interesting it turns out that ecuador granted asylum to someone else it certainly might have 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 is on its roots and invades our embassy to risk the sound but can you imagine how big of a precedent this would set. nuclear talks between iran and the un atomic agency have a once again hit an impasse with no date set for further negotiations the islamic republic stuck them with crippling sanctions and continued accusations of pursuing an atomic bomb the allegations were fueled by turan reportedly stepping up into ready made richmond program which it insists is peaceful general abdul from the national iranian american council says the country had no other choice. western
2:05 pm
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 iraq 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. the i hope to get a look inside
2:06 pm

2:07 pm
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 israel 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 it through an israel and they can offset counterbalance the gulf monarchies they're trying to rebalance and shift away from the west and they need immediate cash from the west they need it from the i.m.f. and 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 don't have to rely on the west anymore. access to 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.
2:08 pm
china's going to get much but those two things are pretty big they want they want and they want to. line themselves with the nonaligned and align with the chips you know taken away from us is a win for china. the background of the analysis to egypt's turbulent transformation can be found on our website r t don't call if you get a minute to plenty more stories online for you there as well the university of the wild west why colorado students cannot pack guns as well as books in the school by reporting online about that also reporting to about the norwegian mass murderer and his brevik heading now for a decades long stay in jail where it turns out it really might not be so bad after all our cameras get access to look at the kind of cell he's going to be in and miss saw isles and blood shed that have also but we're talking about a football match you're looking at here russian hooligans on the rampage putting the team's future in european competitions in jeopardy it's all online from us.

2:11 pm
russian energy giant gazprom has joined the club of companies literally coming under attack from greenpeace six environmental activists ambushed one of the firm's floating oil rigs in the arctic in protest against plans to drill in the area despite warnings from platform workers activists managed to latch on to the rig suspending themselves off it for fifteen hours they claim they were then sprayed with water from above and retreated to avoid risks in the freezing conditions as the put it environmental campaigner christopher williams told us several nations are going to increasingly interested in a slice of the arctic and you reserves these days and that will keep greenpeace is . 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 those functions i think are pretty determined to start drilling the russian being the first one is now provoking protests from greenpeace shell very keen to drill and have been
2:12 pm
given allowances from the obama administration to begin exploring that 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 cast from oil rig. still to come on the program tonight homegrown products struggle to break through the strict economic value we report as palestinian farmers see their crops go to waste because of israeli regulations. and with new york to do if people there hope it all don't give two hoots about the democrats and republicans increasingly dominating the street. but next no sign of relief for greece after its p.r. blitz in europe to try and win more time to enact a painful reforms promised to its credit is the greek prime ministers met now with
2:13 pm
the french president after seeing the german chancellor a day earlier but both of the key paymasters of help from giving greece the breathing space it says it's a virgin they need calls on the rising pressure at home with the parliament leaders saying neither the time nor the content can be renegotiated now asset management specialist philip wardroom believes no matter how hard greece tries you won't be able to pay back whatever. 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 work and a lot of cut and extremely austerity and very greece won't be able to pay back the huge amount of their they have loaded to their shoulder there's only one way of rescue to regaining of competitiveness increase and this is their exit from the euro zone and politicians always argue there are enormous cost involved with
2:14 pm
the exit of chris that's perfectly right but what is the amount of costs in war 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 despite this new numbers show the economy had actually timed less than predicted another spike of optimism over gets the cold shoulder from kaiser and stacy herbert the full program coming up next. this 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 old atlas shrugged they'll be 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
2:15 pm
a consumer economy after all why not help the consumers know that never occurred to george osborne yeah i'll do eaton oxford you know friend of cameron georgie porgie in his bubble and fraud putting. products labeled made in palestine are a symbol of pride for the producers however because of israel's economic blockade palestinian farmers are struggling to get the goods to the rest of the world right now however. things may be about 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
2:16 pm
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 problems to buy or not and more and more consumers are choosing not to buy israeli products that we generating 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 venice and products the problem is all in the name and it's difficult to make the products stand out from those from israeli settlements. 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 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 that we're just love to be distributed in israel because.
2:17 pm
it's with. 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 me. 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 boxed in bottled to international standards it appears demand is growing especially in the us we find that as much as our specialty shops and
2:18 pm
obs 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 now 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.e. janine in the palestinian autonomy. election season in the united states is entering the home stretch both republicans and democrats will hold their national conventions in the coming weeks that is in new york to us what these gatherings accomplished though whether anyone will even notice. in the u.s. republicans and democrats are about to hold their convention to kick off the president election so what are these conventions even do this week let's talk about
2:19 pm
that you're growing your i think invention into that stuff why are you into the politics they're all crooks yes but we have to do is right what are the conventions do do you think what did they do they were so out of money. it's what they do good for media purposes because they can create a lot of hype around saying count it so yes i think they do too so we really need more hype. in today's world so yeah do you spend a ton of money on it just basically or do they go there 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 go from state to state 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. if they put money into it then obviously they want something out of it 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
2:20 pm
generally false fake and just you know don't really serve any purpose it's a lot of waste of money for the taxpayers do you think it's going to get dirty or romney or obama. romney who do you think is going to win. by. because of mitt romney he doesn't appeal to the like. you don't like either one. you think he's going to end yeah i think he's done a good job for you. republicans so i don't republicans you're going to have a programming. note 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 circus it's just about to start. new york makes a news update still reeling of course from the deadly shooting yesterday latest we know now at least nine people have been hospitalized after the wounded by police
2:21 pm
gunfire in the empire state building officers are responding to a shooting were. killed a former coworker firing at the killing him but also it seems hitting maybe bystanders in the protest in the process but police say they had no choice but to open fire but investigators nonetheless are still trying to figure out if the gunman pulled the trigger on the officers first. you know world news the explosion of venezuela's biggest all refineries now known to have killed at least twenty six people that figure is certainly gone up the south and left more than eighty injured the blast also damaged nearby buildings and was apparently caused by a gas leak production has now been halted at that plant for at least two days authorities are claiming the situation is under control with firefighters in the national guard deployed to secure the site. the trouble just keeps on coming for greece this time though it's wildfires no skirting the suburbs of the capital helicopters firefighters and volunteers have been drafted in to stem the blazes
2:22 pm
which have already ravaged thousands of hectares of forests searing temperatures and high winds bring wildfires degrees every year but many this summer i thought have been started deliberately. to keep country safe we need the hard word to match today's ever more sophisticated threats russia thinks he's got the answer an article piskun off spend watching the new equipment in action. seek and destroy. planes helicopters only when you name it the s four hundred try and kill locate 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 as it's more it can literally create full scale defense anywhere on the ground within minutes of preparation takes now more than five minutes and
2:23 pm
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 dog it's 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 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 s three hundred its production has already
2:24 pm
been and it is the least 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 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 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 is going out of our d. southern russia. well talking to high tech there are t's own high tech team exposed the comfort and gadgets of a new russian research vessel that sailing on the country's rivers this month
