9:05 am
that will manage to negotiate a cease fire in the conflict while the rest said mission will be difficult as the syrian opposition is too fragmented. convicted nazi war criminal john. has died in a care home in germany aged ninety one and two thousand and eleven he was convicted of assisting in the murder of around twenty eight thousand jews while serving guard duty in a death camp in poland he was sentenced to just five years in prison because the court ruled no particular crime would be to regularly attributed to him he was allowed to stay in a home for the elderly while his appeal was being reviewed. elsewhere in europe as as a veterans have been getting heroes on the annual march held in las vegas capital has been massively condemned as glorification of naziism that it's got support at the highest political levels as take agreeing supports there's been decades of

change since the world where nazi germany dominated despite the bloody legacy to some quarters of europe you still have an audience. are you referring to jews or crying about the holocaust with forty american forty when they were acquitted and killed me i think they received it would be deserved. the pardon you're hearing this is one thousand five hundred people gathered to fishy commemorate those who fought alongside it was armies and joined the waffen s.s. the meeting stoking fears of a neo nazi resurgence and that. we cannot be silent when the people on the ring the memory of the nads east of the earth and this are marching in the street of a member of the european union those in the crowd defend their start saying the so-called legionnaires were fighting for liberty at
9:07 am
a time when tyranny baseline here from all directions it was a military force field in nine hundred forty three volunteers and members of the disbanded latvian siri police responsible for the mass killing of jews concerns have been raised about these public displays particularly on the messages being heard by today's youth this image of these youth lining the streets to welcome in restaurants 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. better ins are criminals saying they deserve the public's respect is a start that has many opponents worried by the direction the country is headed
9:08 am
people who are in charge in this and positions will thirty should not be setting examples where young people start to believe that a vote for an s s is something that you should wish to follow you know the fact that they're also neo nazis groups who use these analogies is opportunities to promote their xenophobe or so senator and she semitism and so forth is also not correct echoing such sentiment and the fascist groups govern it by in a protest to be an annual march in recognition of the latvian s.s. units has been slammed by the european commission against racism and intolerance and no action ever been taken to stop the parade if any government wants to endorse these kind of actions and i think there's cause for concern obviously there's a right to free or for freedom of speech but one doesn't have to welcome it so if the government's involvement supportive of any way of anything here and i think
9:09 am
it's appropriate for europe to make some intervention the rise in far right rhetoric is not unique to let as a continent which by financial crisis ultra nationalists and has been growing throughout europe you've got what i would call two groups you've got the fascist right people who are proud of being sort of a s.s. veterans or whatever and you've got the fascist like the people who like probably marine le pen in france are actually coming from that kind of million coming from that kind of position we're kind of toning down their policies because it puts off some of the voters but in many senses are just as dangerous as a growth most apparent in marches that celebrate those who others strongly condemn . personal lists just such as this well made it a latvian t.v. station they stand as a striking image of europe's lingering past. that could have an increase in its
