iranian relations the question is and many people will be watching is the u.s. ready to give him a chance the u.n. general assembly kicks off amid a diplomatic battle over syria between russia and the u.s. john kerry and sergey lavrov set to meet on the sidelines of the assembly but just as it seems like diplomacy might prevail sergei lavrov saying that the u.s. is trying to pressure moscow into approving a u.n. resolution allowing for military intervention he adds that the u.s. claims in exchange they would be willing to continue working on syria's entry into the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons so russia and the u.s. no closer on their positions on syria with the u.n. security council also set to discuss the issue this week now the general debate starts off with brazil's dilma rousseff who recently canceled her official state visit to washington after revelations the n.s.a. was spying on her and other high ranking brazilian officials obama is said to speak

directly after rousseff so it will be interesting to see if any kind of tension hangs in the air of the legendary green marble hall 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 says now a r.t. . spoke to a veteran u.s. diplomat held captive by revolutionaries in the iranian hostage crisis between one thousand nine hundred seventy nine and nineteen eighty one and he said 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. 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 a competition syria for example and things to talk about over syria in a rational world we will be doing exactly that there are always 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. the last thirty years what does it accomplish and if you beat your chest for thirty four years are the real what is the result going to be a very short gesture you hasn't it hasn't yielded much of anything else. russia's deputy foreign minister sergei says u.n. chemical weapons inspectors will return to syria on wednesday read kofi once again strides the chapter seven of the u.n. charter which permits the use of force should only be considered if there is a violation of the chemical arsenal agreement that the u.s.

information is out confirmed at least sixty two people have been killed in the hostage crisis the salt was carried out by a group of somali al shabaab militants in retaliation for kenyan mitchell operations in somalia and brian leaving the direction of the center for the study of hate and extremism says that young people from somalia american communities are an easy target for extremists 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 has been the main recruiting spot for the small splinter groups of youth to show their been a few extremists there have been even to convince others to join them there's also been an effort over the internet and through other unlined 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 cool which is permeated some of the social media as well and al qaida has been successful with using that. and of course are closely following the story here but you can also had a line to r.t. dot com today you'll find the must take pictures from the scene and the latest on dates on the kenyan hostage crisis.

craving the resources hidden under polar ice some world governments are seeking a bigger slice of the arctic oil and gas by 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 and by those that would be strongest food in the polar door are the eight states with territory in the frozen region the council consists of eight countries with russia canada and the u. was boasting the biggest binds all of them along with six other observer states have sent delegations to the forum can offer is there for us. located in russia's north is the only city in the world situated exactly all of the arctic circle that's why there's no wonder why it's been chosen to host the third international or except for 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 claim to the arctic ocean and seabed but there are no big dispute about where the border probably will go there is of course 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 though the see. no reason to believe that they shouldn't find a peaceful agreement moscow earlier said is now planning to revitalize an old soviet military base on the no was a good island 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 of the 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 international rivalry i would not show treasures of the a.b.m. does with no territory in the region like china and india have managed to achieve observer status in the ox accounts of the e.u. also striving for influence has had its application deferred to people being has more now on what sneering world powers to the oxic. as the climate in the arctic surges the scramble to secure multi-billion dollar deals and it's no wonder when

you consider according to the latest estimates there's enough to supply the entire world for three years china with a growing energy demand and increasing gas girls in population is the unlikely contender in the race to secure a foothold in the el tick china has been wooing russia providing both snared and trans debt with a twenty five billion dollars to build an oil pipeline from siberia to china as well as paying ross nafta an additional sixty billion dollars to develop offshore fields in the arctic and china has also struck up a business relationship with iceland and as a result these tactics managed to secure a place on the arctic council for china along with the founding members the likes of norway and canada which of course have a geographical right to the area. and i can see president all of her grandson

is in russia to talk to corporations president putin worlds apart hosts on a boy go caught up with him and here's a quick look. the theory. of america britain and the seventy's of the eighty's the more you have to regulate t.v. the more of free time you gave to the financial markets the more you privatized everybody will be prosperous everybody will be happy and this was the all that she which was presented to us economic science and then of course we found out when the banks collapsed this formula was poisonous washed ensures and a force very costly experience very challenging experience but yes since we have launched some very hard lessons.

and just around the corner we fast food aid in one country. tends to local volunteer groups to help food on the table but. the full story. secret laboratory. was to build a most sophisticated. doesn't sound anything mission

to teach creation why it should care about humans. this is why you should want only dot com. critique three sports three. three. three. three. three braun video for your media project free video r.t. dot com. this is our c welcome back says he greenpeace activists are accused of piracy of trying to board a russian oil platform in protest against a drilling in the arctic russian and foreign acts of its are among those being investigated and the norway now joined live by aussies aleksei get

a shed ski aleksey hideout so looks exactly are they accused of and how serious are those allegations those are legations the charges are indeed quite serious according to russian investigators the greenpeace activists and there are believed to be around thirty of them have violated the article of the russian criminal code relating to piracy organized by a group of people and the maximum punishment for this for this violation is up to fifteen years in prison and a half a million ruble fine of course that is yet to be determined but i remind our viewers that the incident in question happened last week when the arctic sunrise vessel registered to the greenpeace organization reached the. lawn there. in the russian northern barren sea and the activists tried to board this oil platform according to the russian investigators there were some electronic equipment found on board that vessel but the biggest irony here according to investigators is that the activists of the greenpeace organization the organization

which has always been fighting to prevent any kind of ecological catastrophes have tried to in danger have tried to threaten the security of the oil rig and thus endanger the ago. logical situation in the entire region of course the investigation is still ongoing but we already heard from the head of the russian investigative committee that if these activists will be found guilty that they will face criminal prosecution regardless of their nationality as i would remind that around thirty activists are believed to be on board there and six of them are believed to be citizens of the united kingdom and it was the reaction we're seeing from greenpeace that greenpeace are staunchly denying any kind of accusations saying that they were embarking on a peaceful protest against drilling in the northern sea not any kind of illegal activities something of course the russian investigators are not buying at the moment but we do know that the arctic sunrise vessel has been told to the bay of the seven or more scsi in the north of russia i believe you'll be able to see live

pictures from our own video agency ruptly now on the screen so the vessel is now in the bay and the crew is on board this vessel they are not allowed to leave the ship and they are waiting for the investigation to be completed. liability say thank you very much indeed for that as absolution levels in the british capital reach a high london is encouraged to leave their cars at home and shift from four wheels to a point of bike attacks have the starry. the great london smaug of nineteen fifty two britain was back in the thousands of square miles one blanketed day off today reading this result was an unhappy drunk can be healthy for anyone today it appears much cleaner but the reality is that london's air is so dirty it's been

breaching the legal limit set out by the e.u. for years. that a thousand deaths are attributed to pollution annually people look at the air today an issue 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 as car travel 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 much in dog so i just talked to guys in london are actually these red buses going cause we're also very concerned about diesel vehicles diesel vehicles are responsible

probably for about ninety percent of the most harmful exhaust emissions client earth an environmental campaign group is suing the u.k. government for what they call failing to protect brits from air pollution and failing to come up with plans to drastically reduce nitrogen dioxide levels are 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 equity 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 of 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.

the choices are extremely difficult and electorally not very popular it basically means taking diesel vehicles off the road in the in the very foreseeable future you can imagine that's not a vote where i have to deal with the city as it is and not some crazy green gone in which we all sit around. and a movie and enabling drugs in the present is that is not going to that is not going to happen since it's not going to happen campaign as a write in london is to each do their bit to make the air in the city cleaner by shining their 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.

country even was as the number of people in need rises local volunteer charities are coming to the rescue fast now reports. with little other choice they wait for. this mother and her son in our reliance on feed parcels hunger and helplessness increasingly common in today's lisbon thankful eighty three charity could rethink the day to wait too long. with almost a million people in the country estimated to be severely materially deprived and struggling to put food on the table charities like this have become essential to plug the gap. at the start of the evening shift i think now because of the crisis we have a lot of families we do. with the necessity of food because. sometimes there are more good and all that is only men still here exactly he's not 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. the strategy that we are taking because we should. we should focus on getting more employment in starting to have. some kind of. peace they're going to hold these austerity kind of way of doing stuff is one of the rigs with aims is to have like the first city in the world also not wasting food so you think you'll achieve it yeah we believe so repeat operate so what they call a micro local level they signed up restaurants and cafes in this area today in eight feet that they have left david closing telling.
