directly after rousseff so it will be interesting to see if any kind of tension hangs in the air of the legendary green marble hurdle many south american countries in fact not happy with the u.s. after fallout from whistleblower edward snowden's leaks this year reporting from new york and he's now a r.t. . we spoke with john limbert a veteran u.s. diplomat held captive by revolutionaries in the iranian hostage crisis between one nine hundred seventy nine and one nine hundred eighty one he says that any kind of interaction between the u.s. and iran will be a tremendously beneficial step for all involved. i thought. we would have been talking to each other. years ago maybe not as friends but at least as two states with common things to talk about if it does happen i mean it may just be a handshake a brief encounter but even that at the same balik level would represent huge

change it's obvious that the u.s. and iran do have some competition syria for example and things to talk about over syria you know rational world we'd be doing exactly that there are always so what i guess you would call the professional iran haters around or the people who find it useful to beat the war drum but you have to ask yourself what all of this enmity. of the last thirty four years what does it accomplish and. beat your chest for thirty four years of the or what is the result going to be a very sore chest it hasn't it hasn't yielded much of anything else. russia's deputy foreign minister sergei recall of says u.n. chemical weapons inspectors will return to syria on wednesday calls once again stressed that chapter seven of the u.n. charter which permits the use of force should only be considered in a resolution if there is a violation of the chemical arsenal agreement earlier the u.s.

people have been killed in the hostage crisis the assault was carried out by a group of somali al shabaab militants in retaliation for kenyan military operations in somalia brian levine director of the center for the study of hate and extremism says that young people from somalia american communities are an easy target for extremist recruiters. there is a somali community in the minneapolis area which is very much against what's going on here by the way but that is being demeaned recruiting spot for the small groups of youth to show a few extremists there even to convince others to join them there's also. an effort over the internet and through other online publications to recruit young westernized muslim youth from throughout the world to come to that area i

think it's also. kind of this youthful anti-establishment anti western military response and they also feel if something else is jihadi which is prove you did some of the social media as well and al qaida has been successful with using that. we're closely following the story here but you can also head online to r.t. dot com there you'll find dramatic pictures from the scene of the latest updates on the kenyan hostage crisis. craving the resources hidden under a polar ice some world governments are seeking

a bigger slice of the arctic oil and gas pipe the third international arctic forum about to kick off in russia's north is said to be focused on ecological security but for those taking part it's definitely more than just the environment at stake those with the strongest foot in the door polar wise are the eight states with territory in the frozen region the arctic council consists of eight countries with russia canada and the united states boasting the biggest fights all of them along with six other observer states have sent delegations to the forum parties igor piskun off is there for us. located in russia's north is the only city in the world situated exactly on the arctic circle that's why there's no wonder why it's been chosen to host the third international arctic forum the arctic still remains a region with the most unprecise borderlines but with vast energy resources and extreme weather conditions but as global temperatures warm up and ice caps melt the

arctic is now opening up opportunities to more and more countries attracting even those not located in the region now due to its geographic location russia is among the countries with the biggest claims to the arctic like the loss of a ridge and the stockmen gas field russia has forty five percent of the arctic territory so it is fair that it actually also show that to the world it is really no tension between nations about the russians came to the arctic ocean and seabed but there are no big dispute about where the border probably will go they say of course so that also denmark and greenland have rights to the central part of the arctic ocean and so do canada but that's between them according to the un or the see. no reason to believe that they shouldn't find a peaceful agreement moscow earlier said it's now planning to revitalize an old soviet military base on the enormous u.s. islands showing the international community it is ready to protect its interests but this forum is all about dialogue apart from the russian president of leaders of

iceland and finland are also going to be here and up to seven hundred participants all together including experts geologists explorers and others all sitting down and diplomatically deciding how to work out the situation how to deal with the arctic how to preserve its energy resources and the environment as well. global warming and high energy prices are adding fuel to the international rivalry over natural treasures in the arctic even those with no territory in the region like china and india have managed to achieve observer status to the arctic council the e.u. also striving for influence has had its obligation deferred artie's k. pilbeam has more on what's luring world powers to the arctic as a climate soften the all it takes urges the scramble to secure multi-billion dollar deals and it's no wonder when you consider according to the latest estimates as a null or to supply the entire world for three years china with

welcome back you're watching live from moscow and linty france thirty greenpeace activists are accused of piracy after trying to board a russian oil platform in protest against drilling in the arctic russian and foreign activists are among those being investigated for more on this now we're joined by our alexey. alexy tell us what exactly are they accused of and how serious are these charges anyway or the charges are definitely very serious according to investigators or the russian authorities these activists violated the article of the russian criminal code of laws on piracy organized by by

a group and the maximum punishment for the for these crimes is up to fifteen years in prison and up to five hundred million rubles of fine now the incident in question reportedly happened a week ago when an arctic sunrise ship registered to the greenpeace organization reached the russian. oil rig in the northern by sea and tried to infiltrate the oil rig now according to the investigators this ship had some peculiar quick went on board which had been identified means and this leads the investigators to believe that the group was trying to do to do something illegal to be involved in some piracy activities not protesting against the drilling in the northern sea as it has been pulled by the greenpeace organization so currently the investigation is continuing on the causes of on the what exactly happened and why this ship tried to board the russian oil rig but the investigating investigative committee of the

russian prosecutor general's office says that all the people involved all the people charged with this if they're found guilty they will be facing a prison sentence regardless of their nationality and the reports are there that there are thirty activists six of them are believed to be u.k. citizens. so what has greenpeace reacted with after being accused of piracy well the organization itself the greenpeace organization is staunchly denying any accusation saying that they were simply involved in peaceful protest against drilling in the arctic sea world definitely we have to wait and see what the investigators say on that because. there are accusations at the moment there are charges that these people were involved in piracy activities and right now we know that the arctic sunrise ship has been told to the. gulf and in the northern sea and that's where these people will wait until investigation is over we know that they were locked inside the ship they're not allowed to be let out to the

mainland and they will wait until the investigation is over or arties alexy jarosz esky thank you for that. as air pollution levels in the british capital reach a high londoners are encouraged to leave their cars at home and shift from four wheels to two parties polly boyko takes up the story. well our blog the great london small give nine hundred fifty two written by law back in the dozens of square miles blanketed day off today reading this result was an unhappy drunk can be held in iraq today it appears much cleaner but the reality is that london's air is so dessie it's been breaching the legal limits set out by the e.u. for years. thirty thousand deaths are attributed to pollution and people look at the air today and it's clean but unfortunately it's still very dangerous. air pollution today is completely invisible but the reason for this is

it's very small microscopic particles and that's also the reason that they're so damaging to your health because they can travel deep inside of this system and it's london is controversial that's largely responsible for it cars and lorries emit an invisible gas called my trojan dioxide known as the silent killer its effects on noticeable it can cause or spiritual disease reduce lung function and according to the world health organization even trigger lung cancer the biggest single source of notching dockside this toxic gas in london are actually these red buses going we're also very concerned about diesel vehicles diesel vehicles are responsible probably for about ninety percent of the most of the exhaust emissions clientèle earth an environmental campaign group is suing the u.k. government for what they call failing to protect brits from add pollution and failing to come up with plans to drastically reduce nitrogen dioxide levels we're currently breaching limits in forty to forty three zones in the u.k.

and sixteen of these we don't think we're going to reach them until twenty twenty and that's ten years after the deadline in may the supreme court ruled that the government isn't doing enough to reduce pollution and improve public health we got in touch with defra the government department responsible for at quality and they told us equality has. improve significantly in london and we expect it to improve further thanks to the actions the government is taking to reduce transport emissions but campaigners say that charging cars to drive into central london and introducing what the government has tagged as green a buses isn't enough i think they need to take a really hard look at what's necessary to reduce pollution in the u.k. that the choices are extremely difficult and electorally not very popular it basically means taking diesel vehicles off the road in the very foreseeable future you can imagine that's not a vote women have to deal with the city as it is and not some crazy green

gone. wrong. in the movie and maybe drugs are used to produce that is. that is not going to happen since it's not going to happen campaign as a write in london is to each do that bit to make the air in the city clean by shining back cars and paddling around town instead while avoiding the most polluted routes of course but it's not clear how much difference it will make since the government itself admits that london will remain dangerously polluted until at least the year twenty twenty five. london. our web team has more stories lined up for you on our team dot com including unlawful disclosure a former cia employee plead guilty spilling the beans to the press spoiling a top secret mission and putting agents lives rest. plus new york's finest spread the word on apple i phone security time last bent their boss say the fight against

from all political parties that oppose the military coup and this is again a politically motivated charge from the corrupted history anything built on a military coup cannot stand what the egyptians want is their voice to be heard through the ballot box not through tanks not three bullets not through the cold killing of peaceful protesters and what we're seeing now is that a modification of this instability on the ground we've got a very unstable economy at the moment the military junta are insisting on driving the whole country and the entire nation through a very very dark tunnel and we are very worried for the future of democracy and the future of egypt. and now to some other stories making headlines around the globe at least ten people have been killed in mexico two gunmen attacked a home where people were celebrating a baseball victory a six year old girl was among the victims you saw it took place in the border city

crisis we have a lot of families we do. we do mr city of food because. there are sometimes there are mortgages and all that was only meant to hear exactly things like employment has actually dropped a little bit and things are getting better slowly. i'm an economist myself so i think right now in portugal i don't believe like. this strategy that we are taking because we should. we should focus on getting more employment then starting to have. some kind of. they're going to hold these austerity kind of way your doing stuff is one of the reef with aims is to have like the first city in the world or from not wasting food so you think you'll achieve it yeah we believe so we feed operate so what they

call a micro local level they signed up restaurants and cafes in this area today now eight feet that they have left dave closing telling. me here some of them some of them a long story is good for us but it's something sometimes we are lucky it depends on the very thing. today. for us. it's great because the leftover fear is not being thrown into the garbage anymore back at headquarters and it's all hands on deck to prepare the food parcels this the brainchild of this learned a lot of the people who receive our food have always struggled with crisis revamp and then we have people who are suddenly don't have work and don't have income. it. harder thing for them to take you know they can say middle class to

of the technology and ignore them to chat on facebook about what they saw on netflix but on the other hand for the first time in human history you have the power of knowledge at your fingertips there is an instructional video to do anything you want on you tube and getting basic information on any scientific or historical topic is one click away if you find the idea of the self-made man romantic the now is your time because anyone who has the will to learn can learn you know i don't come from money without the internet i would definitely not have this job and i'd probably be worshipping at the feet of rush limbaugh deluded by the mainstream media modern technology can make your mind with information or break it with cat videos and dumb trendiness but that's up to you and this is just my opinion.
