possible evidence of rebels being responsible for. both on august twenty first but beyond that also august twenty third and fourth this material was discreetly handed over to. the head of u.n. mission here mission of experts which came and investigated the incident so strong was asked to look into it and eventually factor this new evidence into the final report never happened in fact and this is one of the reasons why we criticize incomplete contents of this report russia will also carry out its own examination of the evidence provided by the syrian government and also transfer these information to the un security council mosco is calling for further investigation by un and calling for the un team to come back here to syria to

continue its probe in order to determine who was responsible for the hostages here in the country and while the blame game continues the fighting on the ground in syria is as intense as ever and it's not merely a conflict between government troops and rebel forces rival opposition factions are now waging war against each other to. seize the strategic town of azaz near the turkish border ousting the free syrian army rebels lytton's from the islamic state of iraq and greater syria noonan's isis stormed the place on wednesday and killed at least five deaths a competence of infighting between the two factions yet vance of the other kind of linked group now threatens the main entry point for international aid and supported via turkey. meanwhile syria's president says he's committed to chemical disarmament

the process will take at least a year and cost around a billion dollars a shot assad made his latest comments in an interview with fox news highlights available on our web site r.t. dot com. cities across greece have seen violent clashes following the death of an anti fascist musician who stabbed to death by a man with links to the far right golden dawn party police used tear gas to disperse the angry crowds as writers hold wall street finance correspondent in the midst of the frenzy basically the large group of protesters that clashed with the police the police are holding their ground right now as you can see there's fires behind me tear gas is in the air for a little bit difficult to breathe here as you can see in front of me the police are trying to hold their territory on the other side there's basically a group of anarchists black bloc kids whatever you want to call them many of the protesters here have been picking up stones along the side of the road in fact if

you can pan down you can see someone trying to pull out a fire stones on the ground from the clashes 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 safe area to go to are effectively stuck between the. protesters behind us and the ones you're seeing in front of us who are who are throwing anything they can get their hands on really people have come out here to this neighborhood to commemorate the death of a young man a young hip hop artist leftist leaning i suppose who was murdered on tuesday evening by someone who was a self-confessed golden dawn member that's one of the sort of neo fascist parties that's been growing a lot more powerful here in greece which provided the fuel for the fire no pun intended for for for these tens clashes that really developed i mean basically while this is at heart an economic situation that and these economic tensions have

really translated into social issues for example dividing communities some people have have been driven perhaps by desperation to join certain parties certain ideological divisions have been hardened and this is their results the result is a tinder box that unfortunately one this particular evening erupted and came to a rather terrible clash. well the greek government has said it may ban the golden dawn party over its alleged connection to the musicians death the far right group is now the country's third largest political force and entered parliament for the first time after last year's election which country got us a professor of constitutional law believes the rise of extremist sentiment in greece is directly linked to the state of the economy. majority of the good people is rejecting this austerity measures that unfortunately the idea to introduce fear is feeding also good ideas of the new feist's have been the first is

a small minority now we've got a massive demonstration of the public sector a very confident beautiful and i've caused not at all violent the most serious one but all of that has been leaps eclipsed by the murder of a gun person babysit your fascist group the only call for greece is or to reverse this or. is it come back to the model of over european socialist state. when it comes to financial troubles and austerity max kaiser is never lost for words i can catch latest episode of the kaiser reports at one thirty g.m.t. but here's a quick preview. well this is a decorous. what we can't build waxwings big enough to fly closest to the sun fast enough because we can't crash soon enough because then we can't get our bailout from the taxpayers who will then be asked to suffer austerity again remember that there's two things going on there is a wealth transfer of the public funds to

a few private speculators and then there's the essentially extermination of the poor in this country and other countries will be left to rot on the sidewalk and bleed to death but that's the plan. well coming up we're wrong office and all the branch to its time is too wedded to celebrate the program we look it's a source of contention between tehran and the us could do. this domino. germany's election campaign enters the home straight for sunday the main parties are locking to get the cold shoulder for millions of young voters to report on that some will make this.

about the program. now the trial of the late libyan dictator the second son has been adjourned until december saif al islam has been charged with war crimes allegedly committed during the country's twenty seven conflict libya has defied numerous requests from the international criminal court to hand him over to the hague authorities insist to ensure a fair trial. reports any doubt not promise. twenty eight members of the former libyan regime are facing trial among them abdullah senussi who was the former intelligence chief of the libyan leader moammar gadhafi as well as safe its number who was the 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 we have already are actually simply incapable of being able to do this since the capture of the men the hague has repeatedly castigated the original fourteen's for not handing them over to face 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 government and with 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 the 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 with very few people

believe that safe will get a fair trial this case is a really 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 but even those who are trying to organize it on capable of doing so well let's take a look at the international criminal court's pursuit of sorry so. the start of the libyan revolution of february twenty eleventh six months into the unrest the i.c.c. sudan arrest warrants for both colonel gadhafi and his son on charges of crimes against humanity over the deaths of political opponents and the war in libya handed with the death of moammar gadhafi at the hands of rebels not over twenty eleven but rest a geisha nor trial into that killing followed the i.c.c. then started informal talks with saif ali has him to surrender himself to the hague

over fears he would share the fate of his father however he was captured by living or thora two years while trying to leave the country in the vendor shortly afterwards the government announced he would go on trial for war crimes in tripoli rejecting the i.c.c. as calls for his handover saying it had no jurisdiction in june i.c.c. officials were detained by a libyan armed group for several weeks after visiting saya five islamic used of conspiring against the state and since then he hasn't had access to a lawyer libya what's the i.c.c. approval for its domestic trial of gadhafi son in may this year that request was rejected. my colleague andrew farmer spoke to a libyan lawmaker who said that the country had every right to try gadhafi son without foreign interference. he's a libyan all the crimes on the charges against him. committed in libya and every libyan believes 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 try him outside libya and the demand of all the why do you think there's been such a battle then as to where to try him why the brattle brother is not we as a libyan who have had their pollution in two thousand and eleven we don't have a brother we knew we knew from day one we wanted to try all of them including see if we get there in libya you can get a unique insight into the build up to that trial and interview show worlds apart works on a boycott talks to john jones the i.c.c. appointed lawyer representing him you can see the full episode in just over to too us.

votes facing an uphill struggle to win over young people many of whom feel the main parties are failing to represent their interests it's all of the reports now 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 call in only three percent to mrs merkel's current coalition partners the free democrats. and perhaps best for ross they don't listen to us and we don't trust them there isn't one person in the blender stack that represents our needs those with their fingers on germany's political polls say those who use needs 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 anglo merkel's christian democrats may have challenges the social democrats have focused on. 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 their attention on. a prime time televised showdown between mrs merkel and s.t.p. contended. 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 fact is our surveys for the future of democracy is mahnaz they show is that my concern 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 anglo merkel shouldn't rely on them voting for her picture all over r.t.

germany the coming up party follows the lives of explorers and researches on the frozen southern continent. 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 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 i 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. summer is coming to an end. the crew of the academic field of is waiting for the
