detractors are finding creative and provocative ways to show their anger at the mark she left an online campaign has rocketed the wizard of oz song ding dong the witch is dead to the top of the music charts but the b.b.c. radio show that plays out the weekly hit list has said it will only air five seconds of the song as part of a new story for fear of offending people author and journalist toby young believes the full song should be played simply out of principle. i think it is in very poor taste but i don't think that's a reason not to play it i think that we should uphold peoples rights to free speech and that includes the right to offend people as a conservative and as someone who greet lee at night margaret thatcher i absolutely stand for to the principle that something shouldn't be banned some shouldn't be not played because some people find it offensive if conservatives want this song
8:31 am
banned or grounds of taste and decency on the grounds that they're offended it will be a hostage to fortune because there are plenty of things which conservatives will want to say in future which the b.b.c. made bad decided that she actually always took some satisfaction when her opponents attacked her personally and stooped to low vulgar tactics like this because it meant that they had no other or convince left they were reduced of this because she had a actively beaten them in open debate but i have to say that those of us who are mired and love to moderate that are have made a counterattack and we're buying a song called i'm in love with margaret thatcher by the not sensible and we're hoping that will pip don't which he said to the number one spot. now the reason there was a. totally different country. to read the interview with. the

dozens of extreme right wing protesters have gathered outside the headquarters of a fascist movement pound to demand the return of two italian marines from india the soldiers were originally extradited to appear in court on charges of shooting dead two fishermen off the country's south coast artie's a really good moscow went to find out more about the fascist movement. this is the house of italy's modern day thatch just an imposing building in rome it stood empty until ten years ago members of the ca's a pound movement barged through the doors put up their flag and became squatters after a decade of fruitless attempts neither the police nor the country's judicial system
8:38 am
have managed to push the fascist movement out if anything members of cars abound say they are growing ever stronger. when fascism is mentioned and stirs memory and conjures images of a bleak past this is a sin that comes to mind is mostly me. or two but what of a fascist in italy refuse to have any association with the macabre past. foremost fascism is a way to govern the economy and the country so we cannot be responsible for what was happening some seventy years ago i can't judge events of the past since i wasn't alive back then so i can't be judged for things that happened that far back . recent research by the open society foundation looked more closely at members of cars abound their results showed that unlike similar going to swear in europe most supporters of the movement cite the economy corruption and unemployment as the main
8:39 am
reasons for joining the party about no more. main idea italy sovereignty we're against pan-european tendencies we're against a dictatorial europe because for example we don't want the production of italian goods to move to other countries historians aren't surprised by such developments yet some believe the trend isn't as worrying or as widespread as some would like to believe. in maine as a historian i can say such movements gain popularity during a crisis but i want to say because the pound is incredibly popular their percentage during the elections was not even one percent but today's low numbers aren't discouraging the movement's leaders who believe. most italians secretly support their goals and share their ideals but there are simply too afraid to voice such views turn into so sure that there's been a growing interest in the last few years as a far right party and we didn't get many votes during the election us but we now
8:40 am
have a chance to make t.v. appearances so more people can find out about our ideas and what we have to offer. the far right resurgence in a country with a troubling fascist history it's now up to italy's political leaders to ask whether they are the ones pushing people towards extremist ideas not out of rebellion or ignorance but out of desperation in a. row. straight into the artery wall that they now are starting with at least four people are dead after a bus crash near the belgian city of antwerp the vehicle was reportedly travelling a hundred kilometers an hour when it smashed through the highway guard rails then plunged over the side of the bus was carrying dozens of russian youths on a european tour although none of them were among the dead. some few thousand people marched through the center of glasgow scotland second city calling for money spent on britain's nuclear defense arsenal to be spent instead on public services the
8:41 am
so-called scrap trident coalition joined at the rally by politicians and trade unionists says that cash should be diverted to health welfare and education as submarines that hold the nuclear weapons are kept in a naval base just outside of glasgow. four italian journalists held captive in syria have been released and flown home of the group working for the state television network were abducted by the filming in northern syria in a town serving as a base for the. a rebel force linked to al qaida and the journalist said it turned out to be a misunderstanding kidnappings whether to demand ransom or for religious or political reasons will become increasingly common in the chaos of the syrian conflict. so we've got a lot more on the situation in syria special interview with president assad's personal advisor that's coming up in just a. wealthy
8:43 am
8:44 am
the international at the very heart of moscow. that's i would say the shabani advisor to the syrian president thank you very much for being with r.t. today thank you so we can ask the present assad has recently appealed to brics countries to actually intervene and stop the crisis in syria. what more can the breaks countries do other than russia and china to actually help this conflict is there anything else to do. i think the brics countries can go to a firm international stand for stopping violence and thirty hours violence has to stop by all sides and then they have to go around the table and then the sudan
8:45 am
people who should decide for themselves that we can deny now that the syrian crisis has a regional and international level and that unless these store lovers are sorted out and that unless there is a real intention to stop the crisis by these two lovers it's very difficult to stop with inside syria because this is not a crisis that is only in city out but it is a crisis that's being threatened are financed by both regional and international forces speaking of president putin. he recently during his visit to germany suggested that all shipments of arms to syria should be stopped but that includes shipments to your side as well is that a viable option for you. yes but you know it but he also said that nothing there's nothing that prevents countries arming the state to know from
8:46 am
arming other countries because the is a big difference between arming guns who have no identity knowing to do you know international and by arming a country but the. so you have to ask president putin what does he mean does he mean that we have to stop with everyone or does he mean that we have to stop what with do those who should not be armed in the first place from what's been under stude from the statement is that that maybe it's an option to stop supplying arms to both sides to the government side and then the foreign countries stop supplying arms to what you called the terrorist groups is that an option for you the problem that you have been placing right from the beginning of the crisis now is that the other side you know we have two sides we have a dish on china and the brics on one side the good the western side and somebody you know and i've been poor of genetically countries who are with the western side
8:47 am
the one side does not really live up to what the it says a few big foot examples as system a new foot of birth forward their american ambassador in congress and that would be the flyers and the the you would see that you know what is being said is absolutely . proven but truth fill it in if they say. leave the weapons you know all the letters that back that are happening in syria over the killing because nothing or the problem that our. our women are facing a horrible humiliating conditions and refugee camps and death he endured and all this they considered it you know non-lethal because they don't think of human integrity and human dignity that for us is a more lethal time and then only the weapon so if there is an international will to stop armaments to every side of this at this moment probably could be discussed you
8:48 am
know i don't know i don't know what the international will a moment but but the other said the problem is that they say we support geneva agreement geneva communique the first item in geneva communique is to stop violence my all sides and yet they feed violence in syria they have been feeding violence in syria for the last two years and unfortunately it is city under siege and people who are paying the price for that and they're taking a pretext speaking about the president out of the government but the issue in syria is neither of all of the president nor about the government it is about the sudan people it's about syria with its civilized human historical and a very distinguished political entity you know earlier on out there were a lot of hope for negotiations there were reports of lists of people drove into
8:49 am
these talks venues have been were being chosen even moscow was you know named as one of the possible options what happened to this list what happened to the stocks . whether this is a very good cause to sophie i think everybody in the world should ask this question because the syrian government said we want to start talks right now dialogue is the only option political solution is the only solution president assad came up on the sixth of january we support the geneva communiqué we want to start a dialogue now it is the what is so called a prison. with all of the parties that i have named in this interview who refused to sit at around the table and who put preconditions the objective of which is to made all the big crisis continue in syria and to continue the suffering of the sudan people on the condition that i would be put out a pretext in order to prolong the crisis of the city and i knew one who cares about
8:50 am
this it in people who cares about syria should support political solution should support geneva not the only the nords but by inviting everyone to sit around the table and find a political solution to the crisis the sense any change in the u.s. position in a conflict with kerry leading america's foreign policy now. well we certainly hope so you know we haven't seen i mean we have been hearing sometimes the firm distasteful and sometimes contradictory statements coming from dawn on the one hundred busy it was a poor geneva agreement on the other hand like robert ford saying we support establishing court ruling in some areas and if you comes and says these school or councils they are the ones who are kidnapping who are killing who are horrid applies to what they call sharia law because nothing to do with this law so we hope that the secretary kerry would truly to support
8:51 am
a political solution in syria we do truly support the geneva agreement we do truly support the stopping the violence immediately because it's not what has happened to the syrian people and if he does sure he will find russia and china and the brits and the sudan government of course while coming down. possible use of chemical weapons is another big topic give a kiss to rebels of using them and called for the u.n. investigation but now that the mission is ready to go you're saying that u.n. wants to expand the investigation and see the heat in intention and send breech of syria's sovereignty are you really in a position to bargain i mean can you afford to prolong that uncertainty related to the chemical weapons use. well i would love i would like to remind you you are under a believe you were that it was the syrian government who are still there you were to come and investigate their use of chemical weapons by the armed gangs and after
8:52 am
a lot of correspondence in the stead of sending a committee or a commission to investigate this incident in qana lifestyle in alipore this started talking about other instances of use of chemical weapons the start of the syrian government is this we will one day you had to investigate this particular incident we are ready to look at any evidence offered to the syrian government regarding any other incident that the believe it happened in syria and there you are and is the one who did not fulfill its promise of sending people to investigate this particular incident now if the u.n. is unwilling to do that we go even further we are ready to receive people from neutral countries like russia and china to investigate this particular incident but i'm sure that incident needs to be brought to the attention of the syrian people correctly and in trying and we need to look at the evidence before saying yes or no
8:53 am
. you know president assad keeps pointing fingers to turkey's role jordan the arab league for making the situation in syria worse do you have any other cards left to play we have the card of syria under the syrian people it is the syrian people who are standing against terrorism it is the sudan people who are standing against car bombs and car explosion the syrian people who are standing against the regime and part of. a day and it is a syrian people who are going to make the future of syria but it got a list of all the designs that others might have again to syria and again as the sudan people you've mentioned the arab states who are creating chaos in syria why would they be interested in creating chaos in syria and to stick to destabilize the region. i think it is against their interests in the long run and
8:54 am
unfortunately i don't think that those who are creating chaos and city are right from the beginning have a totally independent will whether in their countries old or in the region unfortunately they are carrying out their designs that. designed for the regime you know under probably poor the word the you know if you if you if you do you think of what is happening in libya and yemen in sudan in egypt you know you and you're out in syria you would know that there is a hugely resigned that has made poor decision that i think they're ignoring the fog that it is the people and they are people who make the future of their countries and personally i feel that what we are witnessing in the middle east is the absolutely the threshold of independence of a lot of countries and the next twenty or thirty years you will find another word that truly speaks up for itself and i hope syria is going to be the first country
8:55 am
to usher in this a new dawn for the arab world to think that this design is for syria alone or it's also about iran well you know it's not for syria alone i think it is it's first of all about the add up israeli conflict first of all it's about palestine and the occupied territories and then in order to fulfill this desire and you have to bring in syria and hezbollah be it out into the picture but it is about the entire region it's about palestine and it's about the legitimate the legitimate rights of the other people in their own lands and in their own countries and you can see that this is a new visit of secretary of state john kerry to turkey and to palestine is this speaking about a historical deal between the palestinians and israelis i think in all of what is happening in the arab world the arab israeli conflict is the core of what is
