foreign secretary has made a surprise visit to britain guys expressing support for the rebel journalist and author afshin rattansi excess the fact that william hague is holding talks with one of the sides accused by some of war crimes is a disaster seems so deliberate. attempts at stopping any type of seized peace process for all we now know is that william hague the british foreign secretary is seated there and he's he's in with the rebels the u.n. panel in the past few days is said that there are war crimes being committed by some of the rebels. british foreign secretary into the river came to an international criminal court decision i'm sure he'll be subpoenaed and it's looking more and more like a disaster with only russia and china holding any cards to play at the moment. and to the u.s. capitol now where hundreds have been dancing at the jefferson memorial in order to exercise that first amendment rights last week once the america host adam kokesh
6:09 pm
was arrested with four other protesters at the landmark for doing the same thing oh she is going to trickle down has more from our d.c. bureau. this is what i saw the crowd was dispersed sort of pushed out of the jefferson memorial but dozens of people really risked being arrested for just peacefully dancing at the memorial everyone had this fear that it could happen at any time to many it sounded like a joke because freedom you know the first amendment of the u.s. constitution explicitly to protect freedom of assembly and actions that symbolically express a viewpoint if those actions are not harming anybody and one could think what could be more harmless than dancing people who took part in this dance for freedom flashmob say they do it to remind of their constitutional rights which they claim are being breached recently there was a court decision specifically regarding the thomas jefferson memorial that prohibited dancing there that's what triggered the movement if you will last week a small group of people protested the decision with a silent fears of a new material they were brutally aggressive one of them was an iraq war veteran
6:10 pm
civil rights activist adam kokesh recently also has his own show on our t.v. just a week later thousands of people after the arrest in different cities by the way not only washington d.c. joined him and others to say no to police brutality take a listen. after everything else so for all the other oil as it were for us in the trashing of the economy after everybody suffered in this country under the boot heel of the police to me it's come down to dancing if that's the only freedom we have lives are going to come in and do it for people we say are we believe in liberty with leaving ideals and then when it comes down to something like this in the summer divided on it sometimes really obviously for a lot of people this dance washed up has turned into something very symbolic especially here in washington at the thomas jefferson memorial he is one of america's most revered founding fathers jefferson in visions of america as a great quote and part of liberty liberty which as they were saying today americans are getting further away from with every other court decision it's not just about
6:11 pm
dancing in a public place of course there's a lot more serious stuff many here are talking about the post nine eleven patriot act that. curtailed many of their calls it include freedoms and our very newly introduced laws as well so there's a i think flash mob is just one symbolic a lot of the problems and over what they see is why lation if they were right. and you can see the fall of the g.o.p. dancing demonstration on our facebook page and you can also see last week's punches with police which some cold overnight aggressive and unconstitutional so the full flaps are expats for stockholm flash. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations around today.

the online magazines pre-cooked sound is always going on in the hague now is a show trial with the outcome already set in stone but i don't think there's anything. fair about this trial it's all about the whole process. i think what's what's happening is that the because of the outcome this kind of been. set already it's a bit of a show trial i think. as a result i think it's very much about bolstering the west's position as making the west look like it's a free it's a friend of justice and the largest has already been so i thought it was the bad guy in this i'm not for all of remote think that she's our wonderful human being but the crimes of all sides in that war and to pick out one side has been worse than the other is a bit peculiar the situation was much murkier there were opportunists nationalists
