8:05 am
not the i have gathered to pay heroes honors to s.s. better ends in a controversial annual march many condemn the rally as a glorifying naziism worried about it inspiring nationalistic youths despite that it's got support at the highest political level as jacob greets reports there's been decades of change since the world when nazi germany donators despite the bloody legacy in some quarters of europe you still have an audience. come are you ready for the jews are crying about the holocaust. in forty nine hundred forty one they were called the bolsheviks who killed many i think they received would be deserve to. be pardoned. this is as one thousand five hundred people gathered to face she commemorate those who force alongside hitler's armies and joined the waffen s.s. the meeting stoking fears of
8:06 am
a neo nazi resurgence and that. we can not be silent when the people are all knowing the memory of the nads east of the earth and this are marching in the streets of a member of the european union those in the crowd defend their start saying the so-called legionnaires were fighting for liberty at a time when tyranny based latvia from all directions was a military force formed in nine hundred forty three volunteers and members of the disbanded latvian nasiri police responsible for the mass killing of jews concerns have been raised about these public displays typically on the messages being heard by today's youth this image of latvia's youths lining the streets to welcome in best friends commemorating legionnaires day is one that has become commonplace it's also something that is increasingly warring observers if it may represent

a rise of the far right those same commentators are asking why this message is being supported at the very top of the country's leadership. that being president as inch has argued it is foolish to assume that s.s. veterans are criminals saying they deserve the public's are suspect is a star that has many opponents worried by the direction the country is headed the pros who are in charge in the third in positions of all thirty should not be setting examples where young people start to believe that a buff n s s is something that you should wish to follow you know the fact that they're also near nazis groups who use these notches as opportunities to promote their xenophobe are so xenophobia that adji semitism and so forth is also not correct echoing such sentiment and the fascist groups govern it by in a protest to the annual march of recognition of the latvian s.s. unit has been slammed by the european commission against racism and intolerance and
8:08 am

well it's been six months since the birth of occupy wall street a movement that swept the world at a dazzling speed attracting millions who are fed up with inequality angry from tear gas and rubber bullets to baton wielding cops and forced evictions the occupiers have weathered everything thrown at them but now many of their camps are shrinking and the fever is dying down as christine for exult reports every galaxy of free will has been told made it's a global the city shippable make sure the soulfire be could fetch a bridge and we first met joe northam in the early stages of the occupy wall street movement i've been out here since the october sucker of the big league little bit just the whole. government corruption the fall by the brochure really incestuous relationship that they got a lot of. like that stuff which was possible from multiple atrocities all why a former children's mental health counselor position was cut and he was left without

8:12 am
a vixen notices that were posted on the occupiers tents setting off a firestorm of both anger and support and the construction of this tent of dreams. most people did end up leaving joel included i guess the thing that made me stop libya was the raid. that was i mean that was i mean they had infrared helicopters flying around at night you know having like little formal vision on the tents to make sure that people are in the tent sleeping but even police crackdowns have not meant the end of occupy wall street and this is make here's where today nearly six months after the occupy wall street movement began a few tense remain but it's largely symbolic joel and the others say the occupation aspect of this movement is simply one chapter of a longer story with many more still yet to be written but we do the dirty work for them the desire for radical change and a newfound belief that it can actually be achieved is strong enough not to be
8:13 am
subdued in the brought me here was that feeling that something was incredibly was with society in the system in general and everything that we you know are you know should be naturally against the human beings and. i think i found that there was actually something that we can do about it in washington christine frizz now our team. one of the two belorussian man sentenced to death for last year's metro bombing in minsk has reportedly been executed a relative of the victim said they received a letter from the country's supreme court although there's been no official confirmation party's renegotiated joins us live with more on that story irina it's less than a year since the attack took place the case appears to have been really fast tracked through at take us through all of it. well the blasts took place in the minsk inability metro in april of last year as the men were actually the two men were apprehended just couple of days afterwards they went on trial and they
8:14 am
were both found guilty not of just the blast in april of two thousand and eleven but also of another in two thousand and eight which also took place in minsk now one of the men with you can of all of has actually pleaded guilty has admitted his guilt to both of the terror attacks when it comes to the other man the one who has allegedly been executed just very recently he has denied he is guilty has actually pleaded not guilty in both cases and he has written a letter to the belarusian president alyaksandr lukashenko with a plea to for pardon now that plea has been officially refused by the belarusian president just a couple of days ago and now we're getting the news that this live kaleido has actually been persecuted has actually been executed again there is no official confirmation now the thing which a lot of people of be a lot of people have been watching this very closely especially human rights organizations in europe bellerose has had it was quite a longstanding relationship with western countries which is hard to call amicable
8:15 am
by any by any standards in fact a lot of european officials and leaders have questioned our bell about russian officials and policies and tactics when it comes to really respect when it comes to human rights and freedom of expression freedom of speech in the country and they have been watching this case as well in fact as a matter as a matter of fact the president of the european parliament has also. has also clear the fourth part and for the better for the men in this case and that's a plea has also been refused apparently and another at thing which to have to keep in mind is that of the just left who has apparently been executed in bellerose he has been he has been tried and found. not so much just carrying out the blast as much as the knowing is that it's the terror attack was being prepared and not alerting the authorities or validated now according to reports from delhi receipt
