a number of onlookers but the rallies principle organizer insists he simply asserting the right to freedom of speech why people would think they were right here in the face feel discrimination on twitter so if people see the light you may see the factory. escorted by police the right wingers begin their march to the designated rally area near the white house where counter protesters were gathering it's kind of ridiculous that in two thousand and eighteen i have to make the sign that our friends have to kind of come near us are really great sign of that said i'd rather be at brunch but i have to come protest nazis he said among them family groups intent on making their voices heard we wanted to be part of all the positive energy resisting some of the mean nasty spirit to spirit it. examples of the neo nazis and it's so magnificent look coming people around

here people have now the word work we want to show the people who are here that the nazis the white supremacists that are here now what they're doing and what the east believes they have are unacceptable and they're un-american it's not ph out and get us the real americans we love this country and we will not tolerate that kind of behavior but here to some who say they are prepared to use violence rather. then ideas to oppose the far right members of the self-styled anti process movement intent on remaining anonymous by d.c. standards this is a small demonstration still throughout the day it became clear that the counter protesters composed of disparate groups far outnumber those that label themselves the old right by those here as white supremacists the groups were kept apart by a maze of police barricades but even so the shouts of the counter protesters drowned out attempted speeches by the right. and as rain begin to fall all were

dispersed the vastly outnumbered right wingers ushered into a white police vans to be driven safely back to the metro for their journeys home. and what was billed as a gathering of white nationalists became instead a celebration of the city's diversity and to protest against the president in office at the white house over the road mike hanna ultra zero washington. our mary frances berry is a professor of history at the university of pennsylvania she says even though a large police presence in washington stopped protests from turning violent the issues the brought them out remain. there was a great day because it showed that you didn't have to have the violence that took place and charlottesville that if the police will do their job you can have lots and lots of anti-racist people come out to express their point of view and you

could have the few little people that showed up cruel not afraid to show up at least they'd be kessler said that they were afraid and they can come out and they can express their point of view and you don't have to get anyone killed it doesn't mean that the problems are solved but it does mean that we don't have to have charlotte's bills over and over and over again if you look at social media and if you look at all the reports about it the issues are still there i think that people just did not show up on the right in large numbers because they knew about the you know police presence and they knew about all the other people who show up and this is washington d.c. it's not charlottesville and the political officials local ones here we're not going to commit these groups to come together and have a big bash and besides last year have a higher was killed and someone is being punished for it so it's a hotel different situation but it has nothing to do with the problems being solved

and it can't really tell us anything about people's feelings on the right. five countries on the shores of the world's largest inland body of water have agreed on how to divide its vast resources russia iran kazakstan turkmenistan and as a version will open the way for exploration of the caspian vast gas and oil resources where a challenge affords them with the signature of five leaders more than two decades of troubled waters could be receding into history the dispute over the legal status of the caspian sea has been churning since the collapse of the soviet union. in kazakstan four of the u.s.s.r. successor states and iran took a big step towards resolving it is that because we have passed the security and stability on the caspian sea are determined by the convention which we have signed naturally it opens a wide perspective for the type cooperation of the caspian states for resolving economic and transport issues these questions will improve the living standards of

our peoples have cheney and that in some admonish and we have shown in this convention that we stick to the principles of fairness although we did not determine the borderlines we mark that the countries with the coast of particular significance should take a special position that includes iran the dispute is centered on whether the largest inland body of water in the world is a lake or a sea defining it a lake would mean the caspian should be divided equally amongst the five countries but if it's a c. then each state gets a share in proportion to the length of its shoreline the new agreements is that it's not quite either not a lake because of its size and not a sea because it's not connected to the world's oceans so the surface will largely be open for joint use whereas the floor will be divided between russia iran turkmenistan azerbaijan and kazakstan though the exact size of each country's lot

is still to be agreed. at stake are several trillion dollars worth of oil gas and pipelines for years the full economic potential of this has been blocked by the lack of a settlement the u.s. government estimates caspian gas could boost global production by twenty seven percent over the coming decade but it's not just about energy. which it which to security is very important and this is what underpins our agreement this region has an influence on afghanistan on the middle east this really affects the basic interests of our states and we need to pull together to combat the threat of terrorism and transponder criminality this summer it's also makes the caspian sea a lock out zone these leaders don't want anyone else meddling in their waters no country that doesn't share the shoreline will be allowed a military presence there rory chalons al-jazeera moscow the turkish lira has plunged to another record low on concerns over rising inflation and u.s.
