find out me visit. the brazilian president opens this year's e.q. and trade was sent by boston washington for the n.s.a. spy scandal and demanding an apology for being a wild time. russian investigators filed piracy charges against greenpeace activists saying they were have endangered the document that's after they tried to climb on to an offshore oil platform in protest against drilling in the arctic. meanwhile the focus of top officials on the coach expos hope flock together in russia's north that says governments are beginning to like the oil and gas treasures being revealed by the melting items.

this is our see coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program speaking of the u.n. general somebody new york bomber has a defended america's foreign military interventions and tries that washington must remain heavily engaged in the middle east after his brazilian con devolves to the chance to criticize the u.s. for the recent global spying scandal let's cross live to our marina portnoy who's in new york for us hi there marina so how did obama justify his position. well u.s. president barack obama spoke at length about of variety of issues but of course the international community did expect for him to address syria and that he did he called on the international community to enforce the ban on chemical weapons in

syria and he also said that the security council should issue a strong resolution to ensure that the government of bashar al assad keeps its promise to hand over its chemical weapons to the international community obama went on to say that he believes that the report that was conducted by the u.n. experts on the chemical weapon use in syria only supported america's position on pointing the finger at the syrian government for carrying out its chemical attack on august twenty first he also said obama also said what i found was interesting is that he said. leader of syria must be decided by the syrian people but that leader cannot be bush are all assad he said that the situation in syria. long and not going back to pre-war situation is something of

a fantasy he also said that russia and iran must abandon the idea that bush are less side would stay in power after the crisis in syria would be of in chile resolved during his speech obama also made additional comments saying that america is far more likely to engage with countries that work with the united states didn't indicate what will happen to those that don't work side by side with the u.s. he also did stand by his words of saying he insists that the united states is an exceptional country is needed in. other parts of the world and he said it would be a danger for the world if america began to disengage and not be so heavily involved of course. he was also interested to hear brock obama's words on the wrong he did address that he said that u.s. iran attentions can't be solved overnight the suspicions run too deep but solving

concerns over iran's nuclear program is a good start he says that america recognizes the right of the iranian people to sue to seek a peaceful nuclear energy energy and there he hopes that there could be a solution that is cemented where iran is able to have a peaceful nuclear program and the world gets a guarantee that iran is not building nuclear weapons president obama's remarks were preceded by a speech from his brazilian come to bob who slammed washington fully and it's a spy scandal well more can you tell us about that. that's right brazilian president dilma rousseff jumped straight into criticizing the united states for the n.s.a. spying program she said that meddling in such a manner in the lives and affairs of other countries is a breach of international law she went on to say that without the right to privacy

there is no real democracy she said. programs which of course were revealed by n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden caused anger around the world she's also calling for a multilateral internet government framework to stablish the united nations that would prevent the kind of spying programs that sickly and internationally the u.s. has been carrying out for many years but why we hear the brazilian president speaking about this is because it's also been revealed that the n.s.a. was spying significantly on foreign governments around the world including according to reports the personal communications of president rousseff and this according to reports is what led her to cancel her of state visit to the white house that was supposed to happen next month clearly you see brazil and many other

latin american countries very angered over america's very deep and pervasive spying program i don't think that this is the last we're going to hear of it mentioned during the u.n.g.a. debate. marina live from new york marina thank you very much indeed for that. and later this hour we'll be talking to. a former m i five intelligence officer as soon as a we will be able to. well actually yes ok i'm being told that actually we can go to any machine right now so let's get some reaction from her. speech directed at the american surveillance for and speak to any in the sean nice to see is so don't memorise of attacks the spying activities calling them a breach of international law where someone who is no stranger to intelligence work

force your take on that comment well i was very happy to see a global leader. leader make such a robust attack against the illegal activities of the n.s.a. and also a bus defense about what constitutes to democracy where we do need privacy in order to have freedom of thought and freedom of expression in order. to free could and if it is we can no longer trust the media which we make those communications or read that information then we start to feel fencer it is a very dangerous path for democracy to go down a good private to go down so i thought that she incorporates a lot of very useful points in her talk and the fact that brazil is now looking at put into building a new sort of internet infrastructure which bypasses the bargain the spied on american structure i think is a very positive step forward. right brazil's president strives that they ride sense a curacy of sun come to be ensured by violating the rights of others can

a balance between the two ever be found. well that's a difficult one i thought a bomb of response to her speech which was quite a dismissive one liner about the fact you've got to balance the america's security here is he with the rest of the peoples of the world was quite equivocating it would be nice to have seen him put up more of us defense for democracy too sure there has to be a balance but it has to be proportionate in any democratic society and overwhelming and endemic data mining of all our information of all our communications is not proportionate so that does erode the basic principles of human rights. yeah and she also urged the journalist somebody to first tagged cyberspace from spying activities and summer taj and said brazil will equip itself with legislation and technology to protect its online users do you think it is possible for brazil to fully isolate its cyber space. well it's

a difficult one because we've all become globally so dependent on the u.s. infrastructure the u.s. systems and u.s. corporate internet services such as google and what have you so that could be more difficult however many internet pioneers many internet activists of p. years now been talking about moving away from the need to move away from prior tree american owners software companies so if you move to things like open source code open source software where people can see what is actually in that code and can see if there's any nasty n.s.a. backdoor within that code then you can protect your national sovereignty and your individual pretty much more effectively and in fact brazil has been a bit of a trailblazer on this front already over the last decade many of its crucial national infrastructure to open source software so they already think you're on the right lines and i think that the revelations from the snowden papers about the shift scale an invasive spying that's been going on again and brazil by the usa and

its allies will hasten that and i think it's a very good thing because it will provide an alternative infrastructure that concerned citizens who want to ensure their pretty around the world can potentially use rather than having to assume they have to use u.s. or u.k. they thought where type services which of course are then mainlining in the end if a.g.t. h.q. you know write an english an x and i five officer thank you very much indeed for your time. well they are now thirty greenpeace activists are facing charges of piracy after trying to board a russian oil platform in protest against training in the arctic both russian and foreign activists are among those being investigated. this could entailed up to fifteen years in prison and up to a half a million ruble fine now also not from the russian investigators that after the boat the arctic sunrise was seized in the waters in the economic waters of the

russian federation close to the oil rig. also they found some kind of electronic equipment on board that vessel the equipment which is used according to the investigators for an identified means and also the biggest irony here according to the investigators is that the activists of the greenpeace organization the organization which has always been fighting to prevent any kind of ecological disasters and catastrophes could have created such a catastrophe or a disaster by breaching the security of this oil rig and thus it could have endangered the ecology of the entire region of course that is yet to be determined whether their actions could have led to such drastic consequences which we do know from the head of the investigative committee of the russian prosecutor general's office we do know of at the moment that the arctic sunrise vessel was told to the bay of the city in the north of russia and the crew is on board as well as the activists are on board the ship and they're not allowed to leave the ship until the

all the investigative procedures have been completed now obviously the greenpeace organization is not a stranger to controversy we've seen over the years that sometimes there are peaceful protest involved unlawful means novel actions in two thousand and six the very same ship the arctic sunrise tried to ram a japanese fishing boat which the greenpeace organization described as the protest against whaling. we also have seen several sit ins when the greenpeace activist block the entrance to different ministries ecological ministries and different governmental bodies across the planet not letting the employees inside and we've also seen over the years how the greenpeace activists have been breaching the perimeters of different nuclear power stations across the planet if we go back to the year nine hundred eighty six when the chernobyl disaster happened the greenpeace activists infiltrating the area and staging a protest in the cooling bond literally just meters away from the burning reactor

of the chernobyl nuclear power plant so obviously this is the latest link in the whole chain of controversial events surrounding the peaceful ecological are going to zation such as the greenpeace. and staying in the region the untouched to be. a thing of the past many nations are craving to get their hands on the vast resources hidden beneath the ice ice which is rapidly melting away russia has convened a third international forum hoping to draw attention to the region's ecological security and those who had the strongest good strongest figured in their poll of their age a state who has territory in the frozen region the council consists of eight countries with russia canada and the us busting the biggest bites. reports now on what's being done to protect because the jury made the race for the black gold which there initially the idea was foot forward by the president here in silly thought all the 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 milking 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 active you know being used by countries like china with the help of russia since well just the figures tell the story by themselves for ships heading say from beijing to rotterdam it takes around two weeks quicker than say if they take the traditional south the 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. the optics promise of business opportunities is really well smearing the world powers some of them who are not even close to the area itself on his case people were investigated as a climate self in the arctic surge as a scramble to secure multi-billion dollar deals and it's no wonder when you consider according to the latest estimates as a null to supply the entire world for three years china with a growing energy demand and increasing gas girls and population is the unlikely contender in the race to secure a foothold in the l.t. china has been wooing russia providing both and transact with a twenty five billion dollars to build an oil pipeline from siberia to china as

well as paying ross nast 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. all the developers from the arctic for hay on r.t. plus stay with us for all the other news coming up right after a very short break. technology innovation. development program. the future avar. wealthy british style stock.

here 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 spies are more the small share. of you that still appear been a few extremists there they didn't even get 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 i also feel if something else is jihadi meaning 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

for years. thirty thousand deaths are attributed to pollution annually 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 its london is 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 a long cancer the biggest single source of much and 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. for the 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 air quality and they told us equality has improved 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.

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 where i have to deal with the city as it is and not some crazy green gone in which we sit around. in the movie and enabling drugs used to produce that 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 selling their cars and peddling 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. to some other
