ecuador gets overwhelming backing from fellow american nations and it's with britain. condemning efforts to undermine the sanctity of embassies. there is definitely no fear but that's nice it might be reprisals which would be charitable party spanish channel exclusively to work with the president about the hurdles his country may face for backing the world's most famous whistleblower. and egypt's new leader extends how the friendship of china and gesture is seen as the country breaking away from washington.

just a tad after midnight here in moscow and this is r.t. you're most welcome my name is kevin and first this hour ecuador scored another point in his diplomatic row with britain over granting asylum to julian assange a 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. britain has got the latest. 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 attempt 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 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 stance so far they still remain committed to arresting julian assad and 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 you 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 in some kind of diplomatic crate or bag that is not going to put the british police off arresting him really very intent on arresting him and fulfilling this court order so that it'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 of course still in the ecuadorian embassy in london still very unclear how he will get out. well it's not just about a soldier's fate or longer as the country may still have to face harsh consequences for his gesture president rough exclusively shared his view on the issue with r.t. sister spanish channel has a preview of his interview coming your way a bit later this hour. 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 grant to some of them 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 their ethnocentricity it turns out that if it were dog grant 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 acts on its roots and invades our embassy to risk the sun but can you imagine how big of a precedent this would set. nuclear talks between iran and the un atomic watchdog of once again hit impasse with no step date set for further negotiations there's now a republican struck with crippling sanctions and continued accusations of pursuing an atomic bomb the allegations are fueled by to run reportedly stepping up its uranium enrichment program which it insists is peaceful 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 to expect a country to sit on its hands while it's having pressure tactics level that 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 the 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. and with the eye open to get a look inside of radio military bases one thing you won't find is the s. three hundred missile launch still to come here we look at the defense system once coveted by and how it's being developed into sophisticated weapons here in russia these days. greece fails to get the assurances it long for despite its charm offensive in europe winning more time for the ailing economy. opponents of egypt's president have clashed with his supporters his crowds in cairo and alexandria the antigovernment protesters accuse president morsi and his muslim brotherhood party of overstepping their authority and undermining parliament most she's currently trying to establish new foreign policy that's seen as moving away from american influence we just need to china next week see investment then it's a trip to iran which is one of the west main forms right now michael hughes for the

new world strategies coalition told me fix a significant balance of power. link here 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 israel to step back on the whole bombing iran thing better be pretty amazing they find a partner and i ran. 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 the media 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 china's going to get much but those two things are pretty big they want they want port access and they want to i want to line themselves with the nonaligned and aligning with egypt you know taken away from us is a win for china. the background of the nullus is to egypt's turbulent transformation to be founded r.t. dot com we've lined up plenty more online as well there now the university of the wild west why colorado students can have guns as well as books in this school bag. reporting on the ridge of mass murder and his brother heading for a decades long stay in jail where it turns out it really may not be so bad after all our cameras get a look inside jelly's heading to. some bloodshed not a war zone but a football match russian hooligans go on the rampage putting the team's future in european competitions in jeopardy.

energy giant gazprom is joined the club of companies literally coming under attack from greenpeace six environmental activists ambush one of the firms floating oil rigs in the arctic in protest against plans to drill in the area despite warnings from four workers activists managed to latch on to the rig suspending themselves off for fifteen hours they claim they were then sprayed with water from above and say they retreated to quote avoid risks in the freezing conditions environmental campaigner christopher williams told us several nations are getting increasingly interested in a slice of the arctic energy reserves and that will keep greenpeace busy. the oil it 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 countries 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

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 home grown products struggle to break through a strictly konami beriah palestinian pharmacy the crops go to waste because of israeli regulation the report of not a bit later we're also in new york to give people their own hope told don't give two hoots indeed about the democrats and republicans increasingly dominating the t.v. screen. there is no sign of relief for greece after its p.r. blitz in europe to try and with more time to enact the painful reforms promised to its credit is the great prime ministers met the french president after seeing the german chancellor a day earlier but both of the keep

a masters held back from giving greece the breathing space it says it so urgently needs angela merkel's on the rising pressure at home with the parliament leaders saying quote 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 owes. 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 that they have loaded to their shoulder there's only one way of rescue to regaining of competitiveness increase and this is the exit from the euro zone and politicians always argue there are enormous cost involved 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. britain may not be using the euro but his finances continue to feel the pinch from the eurozone debt woes despite this new numbers show the economy that actually turned less than predicted this a little spark of what commision whoever gets the cold shoulder treatment from max kaiser and stacy her but their full program coming up next hour. this is 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 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 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. more of that to say next our products labeled made in palestine are a symbol of pride for the producers however due to israel's economic blockade right now palestinian farmers are struggling to get the goods to the rest of the world however resulting as paula slid found out 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 so 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 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 benicio and products the problem is all in the name and it's difficult to make a product 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 that we have just love to be distributed in israel because.

it's with. but it's 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 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 can be our lives 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 submission of the jobs and

obs are excited to find anything in specialty goods in the marketplace they are calculating ok what backlash am i going to get from bloggers in the marketplace this neg 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 united states is entering the homestretch now both republicans and democrats will hold the national conventions in the coming weeks while he's in new york to us what these gatherings are completion whether anyone actually notices. well. in the u.s. republicans and democrats are about to hold their conventions to kick off the presidential elections these and so one of 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 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 sheer or 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 go from state to state and i think that i think you just said the key word business yeah 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 what 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 who 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 there like either and you don't like either one or. you think he's going to end i think you know are going to run a good job for you guys 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 circus is just about to start. new york. new york next to for our next update on this new story that we brought you yesterday that shooter the shooter yesterday with these nine people have been hospitalized after being wounded by police gunfire near the empire state building

officers responding to a shooting were sacked employee killed a former coworker firing at the gunman in killing him but also hitting bystanders in the process police say they had no choice but to open fire but investigators are still trying to figure out if the government pulled the trigger on the officers first again we'll follow that up over the coming days for you. the big story that explosion in venezuela's biggest oil refineries now know to have killed at least twenty six people and left more than eighty injured in the blast also damaged nearby buildings it was apparently caused by a gas leak production has now been halted there for at least two days thought is clearly the situation is now under control with firefighters in the national guard deployed to secure the site good news in the last hour or two neil armstrong the first man to ever walk on the moon has died at the age of eighty two a pioneering astronaut underwent heart so earlier this month to clear a blocked arteries he commanded the apollo eleven mission estimated half a billion people watching on t.v.

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 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 s three hundred its production has already 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 the recent conflicts 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 diets 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 go to school of r d southern russia. about headlines a few minutes then ecuador's president explains his moves of a jew in a size newsmakers of the shakers told to us at r.t.
