Russian prosecutors have dropped piracy charges against 28 Greenpeace activists who were arrested last month.

Instead, they will be charged with hooliganism, and face a shorter jail term.

If found guilty, they could spend up to seven years in prison.

Al Jazeera's David Chater reports from Moscow.
