i couldn't hear sarah vowell mean backing from a fellow american nations in israel with britain over julian assange condemning any efforts to undermine the sanctity of them the songs. there is definitely new but let's me she be reprisals which would be truly be hard to spanish channel talks exclusively to address president about the hurdles his country may face in the back in the world's most basic pain this whistleblower. and egypt's new leader sent friendship and you want and i just received as a kind of you breaking away from washington think about.

it seven am here in moscow you're watching r.t. aquittal has scored another point in his diplomatic row with britain over granting asylum to julian i saw nj is that a full member bloc of american nations has declared their solidarity and support for the country condemning the u.k.'s threats to storm its embassy in london to get to the whistle blow up laura smithson britain them 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 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 sons but also urged 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 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 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 policeman who is guarding the embassy twenty four seven holding this piece of paper a piece of restricted information that says that julian assange 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 create or 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 said the international pressure is growing meanwhile 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 our sons as fate any longer as a country may still have to face harsh consequences for its gesture president rafael correa exclusively shared his view on the issue with r.t. spanish channel here's a preview of his interview which you can watch in full on our website at r.t. dot com. 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 drive 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 ecuador granted asylum 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. nuclear talks between iran and the un atomic watchdog have once again hit an impasse with no date so for further negotiations they slam a group public is stuck with crippling sanctions and continued accusations of pursuing an atomic bomb the allegations were fueled by to run reportedly stepping up its uranium enrichment program which it insists it's peaceful to melody 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 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 the yuan 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. at the same time the international atomic energy agency is seeking axes to a key military base near and to scientists working on the iranian nuclear program porter journalism analysts and u.s. foreign policy says iran wants to do the end game before you'll see the agency's demands. the idea is following a general strike 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 in the headlines 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. but the i hoping to get a look inside iranian military base is the one thing you'd want to find is the s. three hundred missile launcher still. look at the air defense system once converted by to iran and how it's being developed into a sophisticated weapon here in russia. and degrees of fails to

get the resources that long for despite its charm offensive in europe and that women want time for the ailing economy. opponents of egypt's president have clashed with his supporters that those in cairo and alexandria the anti-government protesters that he's president morsi and his muslim brotherhood party are overstepping. undermining parliament and he trying to establish a new foreign policy that's seen as moving away from american influence egypt's media hits to china next week seeking investment then it's a trip to iran which is one of the west's main phones right now michael hughes from the new world strategies coalition predicts a significant balance. 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 loose 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 israel to step back on the whole bombing iran thing that'd be pretty amazing they find a partner in iran and they don't have to rely on the u.s. going to rely on israel and they can offset counterbalance the gulf monarchies they're trying to rebalance and shift away from the west and they need the immediate cash from the west they need it from the i.m.f. and 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 beijing 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 i want to line themselves with the nonaligned and aligning with egypt you know taken away from us is

environmental activists ambush 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 risk in the freezing conditions environmental campaigner christopher williams as says as several nations are getting increasingly interested in a slice of the arctic energy reserves and that will keep greenpeace busy. just below the arctic is up to twenty five percent of world reserves there are countries vying for control of optical oil and those frontrunners 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 have been given allowances from the obama administration to begin exploring that process it will be

interesting i think to find out where the greenpeace i would expect them to also be protesting just as vigorously western oil companies when they start drilling as they have been no occupying the gas from oil rig still to come home grown up products the struggle to break through a strict economic barrier palestinian pharmacy their profits go to waste because of the israeli regulations. and the way in new york to ask give people their work i don't give to goods about the democrats and republicans increasingly dominating little nieve. no signs of relief for greece after a p.r. blitz in europe to try and win more time to elect the painful reforms promised its creditors the greek prime minister has met the french president after seeing the german chancellor a day earlier but both the e.u. is keeping masters have held back from giving greece the breathing space it says it

staying within the euro zone. products are labelled made in palestine a symbol of pride for their produces however do israelis economic blockade palestinian farmers struggle to get their goods to the rest of the world but as our it is policy 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 and 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

statements in palestinian territories they are seen by many as the foods of the occupation the work of movement of. movement by god. and our. distributors to carry benicio and products the problems in the way and it's difficult to make a product stand out from those systems a year he in our products can't say made in palestine because we're under occupation and not yet a state they can say it made in the west bank or made in gaza or a palestinian product. and for some companies like the palestinian pharmaceuticals company in the west bank it's even worse it can't even sell in its own backyard or whatever that's not the love that we're just love to be distributed because. it's with. but it's will be rejected by the security has been 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 they 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 lend 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 zionist bloggers in the

marketplace the 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. r. t. janine in the palestinian autonomy. now less in season in the u.s. is entering the home stretch for both republicans and democrats will hold their national conventions in the coming weeks out is in new york to us what these gatherings accomplish and whether anyone will notice. 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 throwing 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 if 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 need to do so we really need more hype. in today's world yeah 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 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 because that within 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 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 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 know are going to run a good job for you guys republican so i don't republicans should when 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 it's just about to start. and now a look at some other stories making headlines around the world neil armstrong the first man to ever walk on the moon has died at the age of eighty two a pioneering astronaut underwent harsh surgery earlier this month to clear blood as a result he commanded the apollo eleven mission and an estimated half a billion people watched on t.v.

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 air defense anywhere on the ground within minutes of 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 or
