russian investigators filed piracy charges against greenpeace actually after they're tempted to climb onto an offshore oil platform in protest against drilling in the arctic. top officials and ecology expos feel to russia's north just cause the arctic and this is melting ice makes world government stop on their hunt with the region's massive oil and gas reserves. also this hour is syria iran on the n.s.a. spy scandal i.g. to dominate discussions at the u.n. general assembly in new york. and kenyan forces are clearing the westgate mall for misses following a four day hostage crisis with authorities saying british and american nationals were among that.

you so russia under on the wall this is all see with me hello and welcome to the program. says she greenpeace activists south facing charges of piracy after trying to board a russian oil platform in protest against drilling in the arctic both russian and foreign activists are among those being investigated and for more let's now go to our season. he is here in the studio with us had alex say so what exactly are the protesters accused of and tell us more about the charges how serious the charges seem to be serious because according to the russian investigators these activists violated an article of the russian criminal code about piracy organized by a group of people and the maximum prison sentence for that violation is fifteen years with a half a million ruble fine as well according to the russian investigators they also found

some equipment on board that vessel the arctic sunrise which belonged to the greenpeace now the incident in question itself happened a week ago but only to date was made public that those activists have in fact been detained and the biggest irony according to the investigators is that the organization the activists or the greenpeace organization the organization which has always been fighting to prevent any kind of ecological disasters and catastrophes could in fact have led to such a catastrophe by breaching the security of the oil rig. by obviously the injuring the security of the oil rig or they could have endangered the quality of the entire region is of course that is good to be determined whether their actions could have led to such things but we already heard from the head of the investigative committee of the russian prosecutor general's office that those who would be found guilty if they're found guilty will be prosecuted criminally regardless of their nationality and i'd like to remind that up to thirty activists are now detained and

six of them are believed to be citizens of the united kingdom yeah and have you heard any reaction from greenpeace to the actions of the russian authorities there well the greenpeace organization staunchly denied any kind of claims and accusations they have said that they were there in the northern seas. just to protest the peaceful oil just to protest the oil drilling and their protest was completely peaceful we do know that the the arctic sunshine vessel has been told to the bay of the city in the north of russia and that's where it remains at the moment and all the crew members and activists are on board they are not allowed to leave the vessel until the investigation is completed but definitely the greenpeace organization is not a stranger to controversy let's remember two thousand and six when their vessel reportedly the very same vessel which is now in the northern seas of russia rammed a japanese fishing boat protesting against whaling that sparked some international

scandal with japanese authorities clearly unhappy with the actions of the ecological organization also we have seen numerous sit ins at different ministries . bodies across the planet where the greenpeace activists were not letting the people inside those ministries also we we've seen of course the broadcast by the greenpeace activists of different nuclear power stations where there breached the perimeter of a nuclear power stations let's remember the nine hundred eighty six inch or noble when the greenpeace boat actually made it inside the contaminated zone while it was still being cleared from contaminated radioactive particles and staged a protest at the cooling pond just meters away from the burning reactor of the of the chernobyl nuclear power plant so of course this latest incident is just one of the one of the links in the chain of controversy surrounding the greenpeace organization say thank you very much indeed for bringing us up to speed we appreciate it thank you. understanding in the region that you said international

forums kicking off in russia's north focusing on the areas ecological security and an office than joins us now live from study hard here garceau it looks like global warming is exposing the treasures hidden beneath. well it's the third time russia is hosting this forum initially the idea was foot forward by the president here in silly thought the only city located exactly all of the arctic circle the ecology is definitely the most important issue being discussed we've got over four hundred experts international experts who arrived here to discuss these problems and the general understanding is that the climate in fact has changed temperatures have in general warmed up in the arctic milton the ice caps and opening new opportunities clearly for different countries to develop its vast natural resources and also new

trade routes like the northern trade route which is actively now being used by countries like china with the help of russia since well just the figures tell the story by themselves four ships heading say from beijing to rotterdam it takes around two weeks quicker then say if they take the traditional south and routes so clearly here the understanding is that the environment of the arctic has to be protected and in the future the president's international presence in the arctic will only increase so the are discussing currently working projects in the sphere of energy development and so on but a lot of attention is also being focused at the heritage a left from the cold war era we're talking about old abandoned military bases various types of hardware tens of thousands of barrels with fuels with fuel and it's understood that it's not been left by just one country like the soviet union but it's canada the u.s.

and here everybody's saying it's not the responsibility of one state to clean this trash up but it's really the responsibility of everyone all right you can all fly that your thank you very much indeed and stay well thank you. will be watching all the developments from the forum today here on our own on our web site. and. moving on now russia the u.s. and its allies are edging closer towards agreeing on a u.n. security council resolution to facilitate the chemical design and syria most who sounds it could approve the mention of possible piers of measures against damascus if it fails to relinquish its toxic stockpiles but russia has stopped short of accepting a resolution that would mean they were to massacre use of force if the syrian government fails to deliver and france now says it may block moscow's position details of the deal are expected to be hammered out to during bilateral meetings of

the u.n. general assembly as aussies and he said now a report. world leaders are in new york this week for what setting up to be one of the hottest political debates this year 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 sure 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 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 iran's new president hassan rouhani will be making his u.n. debut on tuesday ahead of his visit there were many signals from him that he was more than willing to start a possible process of soy over three decades of frozen u.s. in radian relations the question is and many people will be watching is the u.s. ready to give him a chance reporting from new york and he says now a r.t. and we spoke to a veteran u.s. diplomat who was taken captive during the reign hostage crisis in one nine hundred seventy nine and he says washington's should twelve that resentment of to iran in stable long awaited approach. 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 a 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 in a rational world we'd be doing exactly that but 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. for the last thirty four years what does it accomplish and. beat your chest for thirty four years of the real what is the result going to be a very sore chest it hasn't it hasn't yielded much of anything else. and of spector's were sent to syria on wednesday to continue the probe into alleged cases of chemical weapons use that's according to the russian foreign ministry moscow says there's mounting evidence to blame the radical syrian rebels for

a nation deadly toxins the u.n. funds that large scale use of nat gas did take place on the outskirts of damascus last month but did not pinpoint a culprit. security forces are combing nairobi's westgate mall the site of kenya's was terrorist attack in fifteen days the al shabaab islam is a group responsible for that sold claims its members are still holed up inside with a number of hostages meanwhile kenya's foreign minister says a case to americans and a british citizen are among the al qaeda linked insurgents that carried out the atrocity in line pictures from nairobi right now for the web rain and there are reports that a british woman some on so least wait may have spearheaded that time she converted to islam as a young woman and married a man who later became a london seven seven suicide bomber and confirmed reports say she was among the militants killed at least sixty two people died in the hostage crisis with around

one hundred seventy injured the al shabaab militants said they carried out that time in retaliation for kenyan military operations in somalia and brian lieven director of the center for the study of hate and extremism says 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 been the main recruiting spot or the small should look to groups of youth to show their been a few extremists there they've been able to convince others to join them should be 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 i also feel if something else is jihadi me which is permeated some of the social media as well and al qaida has been successful with using that. and of course we'll keep you updated on this ongoing story remember you can always get more by logging on to websites to get answers to the latest pictures on day to witness accounts from the scene of the tragedy all that's waiting for you at sea dot com. meanwhile i'll see in just a couple of minutes small the port on the invisible and silent which is slowly poisoning the suspects in citizens of london that's right after the break to stay with a. good

a free media dog r t v dot com. you're watching else he's great to have you with us let's move on now. it was once they sent all the industrial revolution with chimneys belching smoke into the sky but it seems time and technology haven't improved the air quality in parts of the u.k. the chemicals are slowly and discreetly poisoning londoners in particular who can do little to curb the problem as a he's pointed boyko reports. oh on the great london small give nine hundred fifty to britain well back in the dozens of square miles of blanketed day off today reading this is the margin of having drunk can be healthy for anybody today it appears much cleaner but the reality is that london's air is so dirty 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 dioxide this toxic gas 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 clientèle

earth an environmental campaign group is suing the u.k. government for what they call failing to protect brits from ad 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 ad quality and they told us air quality 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 abbas's 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 when i have to deal with the city as it is and not some crazy green. in which we all sit around. and only be unable to enjoy it when you saw the produce that is that is not going to that is not going to happen since it's not going to happen campaign as a raging londoners to each do that bit to make the air in the city cleaner by shunning 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.

choice they way. this mother and her son and now reliance on the parcels hunger and shapelessness increasingly common in today's list but thankfully to china secret we think the danger to a low you. will waste a million people in the country estimated to be severely materially deprived and struggling to put food on the table charities like this become essential to plug. we joined at the start of the evening shift i think now because of the crisis we have a lot of families we do. we do necessity or food because. sometimes there are more goods and all that is only meant to hear exactly he's not employment has actually dropped a little bit and you think they're getting better slowly here i'm an economist myself so i think right now in portugal i don't believe.

this 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 all stare at the kind of way your doing stuff is one of the roots 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 the micro local level they signed up restaurants and cafes in this area today and eight feet that they have left they've closing time. here some of them some of them a long series good for us but it's something sometimes we are lucky for you to pencil in a very. today. it's

great because the left being thrown into the garbage and. back at headquarters and hands on tech to prepare the food parcels this the brainchild of this learned a lot of the people who receive food have always struggled with crisis. and then we have people who are suddenly don't have work and don't have income. it. the hardest thing for them to take you know. to a situation of needing food so we see those people. when leif they first started it was just one man one site said around thirty restaurants have agreed to date a little over a year and a whole slater and take a look at this they've got hundreds of volunteers they've expanded to two sites more than a hundred and fifty restaurants cafes and supermarkets more than half
