weight of russia in the security council learned more credibility to this that would otherwise be ignored by the united states britain and france so the point is not only to have advance the point is to be able to have that evidence . and study it and taken into consideration. meanwhile syria's president has said he's committed to chemical disarmament but that the process will take at least a year and cost around a billion dollars but it made his latest comments in an interview with fox news the highlights are vailable on our website at r.t. com. cities across greece have seen violent clashes following the death of an anti fashion's activist who was stabbed to death by a member of the far right golden dawn party police used tear gas to disperse the

2:07 am
hard to read but one point they've been throwing around tear gas and of course the smoke is and the wind is making it get in everyone's faces that's in part helped you know because i think the baton and sort of the the heavy. use of tear gas definitely help clear the situation but quite tense and we can't quite figure out where to go and how to leave to be honest you have some folks back there i don't know if you can see with the camera fire still lit with demonstrators hurling rocks in the distance but the police have advanced and it does seem like they're securing the area now this smoke right here if we can pan to it. that's tear gas so we're actually going to move away we don't really have. a safe area to go to where effectively stuck between the. protesters behind us and the ones who are sitting in front of us were are throwing anything they can get their hands on really people had come out here to this neighborhood to commemorate the death of of a young man a young hip hop artist a leftist leaning i suppose who was murdered on tuesday evening by someone who is

2:15 am
as well as safe is number two was the scare apparent and also the only gadhafi son to be held in custody now the charges they are facing include murder inciting rape and kidnapping used as well as forming armed groups in violation of the nor the libyan authorities are insisting that the men will get a fair trial but human rights groups as well as many in the international community believe that this is not going to happen and that the authorities are actually simply incapable of being able to do this since the capture of the men in the hague has repeatedly castigated the little fourteen's for not handing them over to facing who are crimes as well as crimes against humanity if the trial and when this trial goes ahead in libya it is in direct defiance of international criminal court rulings and the court can complain to the united nations security council what is interesting is that it was the libyan rebels themselves before they came to
2:16 am
government at work at the forefront of the united nations to order the international criminal court to action and this is what many analysts are saying when the rebels were fighting with gadhafi regime they were very quick to curry favor with the international community to call for the gadhafi family to be put on trial at the hague but no sooner do they themselves come into power then they're turning their backs on the very same community that they were copulating was very few people believe that say we'll get a fair trial this case is all we need taken a very long time and also the fact that they're not prepared to hand him over to the hague does suggest that old scores in with the gadhafi family are being settled this is being called the trial of the same tree but even those who are trying to organize it on capable of doing so poorly r t tel aviv. let's take a look at. the international criminal court's pursuit of save our islam since the start of the libyan revolution in february of two thousand and eleven now six
2:17 am
months into the undress the i.c.c. issued an arrest warrant for both colonel gadhafi and his son on the charges of crimes against humanity over the deaths of political opponents now the war in libya ended with the brutal death of moammar gadhafi at the hands of rebels in october twenty seventh but no investigation or trial into that killing followed the i.c.c. then started informal talks with saif al islam urging him to surrender himself to the hague over fears he would share the same fate as his father now however saiful was a captured by the libyan authorities while trying to leave the country in november shortly after wards of the government announced that hew would go on trial for war crimes in tripoli rejecting the i.c.c. calls for his handover saying it had no jurisdiction in june in june an international criminal court officials were detained by libyan armed groups for several weeks after visiting saif al islam as though they were accused of

conspiring against the state and since then saif hasn't had access to a lawyer libya for the i.c.c. is approval for his domestic trial of gadhafi son in may this year but that request was rejected now earlier my colleague andrew farmer spoke to a libyan lawmaker the country has every right to try gadhafi son without foreign interference. so forget that he's a libyan all the crimes on the charges against him that have been filed committed in libya and i. believe that he should be tried in libya none of the none of the crimes that he's been charged with are being committed outside so there's no reason whatsoever to to try him outside libya and the demand of all the why do you think this being such a battle end as to where to try him where the battle brother is not we we as

parliamentary election that's being closely watched by the rest of the of stary to play during but it's also what merkel and her rivals launch a final push for the votes they're facing an uphill struggle to win over young people many of whom feel that the main parties are failing to represent their interests archies peed all of our reports on what's behind the discontent. political promises ahead of the general election in germany just plain patronize in say the country's young people according to a poll of the next generation of voters less than a quarter of those asked believe the social democrats can challenge. and only three percent would vote for mrs merkel's current coalition partners the free democrats. religious and that's best for us and they don't listen to us and we don't trust them there isn't one person in a blender that represents our needs those with their fingers on germany's political polls say those use needs
2:24 am
a very clear they want education they want jobs as well as other cultural and leisure aspects this wishes aren't being addressed by the main parties past exit polls show the average german voter is around forty five years old and that's the demographic both christian democrats challenges the social democrats of focused on part time for the most part their parties of all the males dealing with the issues that the fact all the people there the largest block a vote and that's why they get. a prime time televised showdown between mrs merkel and s.t.p. attended. which had been billed as a clash of the political titans barely touched on one of the key youth issues the n.s.a. spying scandal and the topic of surveillance and the problems of surveys for the future of democracy its mana of the issues that we're concerned now young people especially in the future so that's why i'm in the green party and it's for those

reasons that when young germans go to the polls on the twenty second i'm glad merkel shouldn't rely on them voting for her picture all over r.t. germany. after the break every month it follows the political scandal triggered by revelations of u.s. spying in brazil stay with us here on. i got some angry but polite messages after i came out in favor of the foreign adoption ban of russian children by people in the usa this is not a dig on america i think russia or any country that respects itself should export any children to anywhere at all people tell me that i'm paranoid that the decision to stop the foreign adoptions punishes the children while
2:26 am
a massive reuters investigation called the child exchange has exposed some dark secrets about adoption of foreign children they expose it often by using the term re homing which is normally about finding new homes for animals people are basically advertising adopted children they don't want like baseball cards on e bay reuters found out that on just one yahoo group child a week was offered up to the public my wonder what kind of people want to discreetly get children off the internet the thing is that in the us adopting a child from overseas is hard but transferring them to someone else later on is a breeze all you need is a notarized power of attorney document to clearing the child is another adult's care so for those of you who think that i am a cruel nationals because i support russians the option ban than take a look at the child exchange and you might just start to see my point but that's just my opinion.
2:27 am
what's going on guys i'm having martin and this is breaking the set so remember the n.s.a. was spying on other countries and world leaders turns out the people in those countries don't take too kindly to having their privacy invaded and now one country is standing up to uncle peeping tom resilient president dilma rousseff just postponed a trip to d.c. and protest the u.s. surveillance and now the government is working on ways to circumvent the n.s.a. altogether one such plan would require internet service providers to set up local data storage centers protected under local privacy laws and brazil's postal service is taking it one step further by developing an encrypted e-mail service so here's to hoping other countries take a cue from brazil and stand up once and for all to america's global spying machine . the but.

a staggering portion of the food we eat here in the u.s. just to give you a sense of how monopolistic this industry has become consider that forty percent of the world's g.m. crops are grown in the u.s. for months sandow alone controls eighty percent of the corn and ninety three percent of the soy corn and soy make up the base of almost every processed food item in this country and interestingly enough america is unique in its production and consumption of g.m.o. those every other industrialized country has either completely banned or at the very least labeled g.m. products why because these countries have recognized the risks associated with them most recently a french scientist concluded that g.m. corn leads to tumors in rats so with this knowledge why is the u.s. government giving monsanto a blessing of deregulation and not just the blessing to sell their products but to sell them with a guarantee that consumers have no why.
