all these just days after the u.n. investigators released their report over the use of chemical weapons here in syria they have been working here for several some time and they released a report but an exclusive interview to r t russia's deputy foreign minister said a get up call criticised this report calling that it was one sided politicized and biased because according to russia's deputy foreign minister the report didn't appear to take into consideration all the evidence the syrian authorities have conducted their own. sampling and investigation analysis in terms of possible evidence of rebels being responsible for educators odes both on august twenty first but beyond that also august twenty second third and fourth this material was discreetly handed over to orcus drum the head of u.n.

a year cost around the billion dollars the comments came in an interview bashar al assad gave to fox news the highlights are available on our website article. on the murder of a prominent and t. fascist musician has sent greece into a frenzy and mass riots and clashes sweeping the country it was reportedly a member of the far right golden dawn party its membership has surged as the country's economic misery has grown quickly became known for terrorizing migrants often violently correspondent lucy cuff reports now from the midst of it all. basically the large group of protesters have 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 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 who are 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 this 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 the result the result is a tinderbox that unfortunately hung this particular evening erupted and came to a rather terrible clash. politicians are now jumping on the bandwagon with the government dropping hints it may try to outlaw golden dawn for a group is now the third largest in parliament and said to be growing fast george cukor professor of constitutional law believes the rise of extremist sentiment in greece is directly linked to the state of the economy. the majority of the good people. and unfortunately the idea of the spear is futile so there is of the new fascists in the first this is a small minority now we would be

a massive there must be some of the above except to really come to useful and of course not at all via the mysterious one but all of that has been eclipsed by the murder also a young person. unifies this group the only called for greece is a curse. if it comes back to the. over european socialist state. when it comes to financial troubles and austerity max keiser is never lost for words that's the latest episode of the kaiser report next album is a preview for you. but this is economics what we can't build waxwings big enough to fly closest to the sun fast enough because we can't crash 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 wall 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. the son of the late libyan dictator colonel gadhafi has briefly appeared in court with his trial the media be adjourned until december saif al islam is accused of war crimes during the country's twenty seven civil war and the hearings are taking place near tripoli international criminal courts many requests to send him to the hague want to stay or has the details of the case. twenty eight members of the former libyan regime are facing trial among them alison you see who was the former intelligence chief of the libyan leader moammar gadhafi as well as safe islam who was the heir 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 norm 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 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 libyan authorities for not handing them over to face and who 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 calling for 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 with the gadhafi family are being settled this is being called the trial of the century but even those who are trying to organize it on capable of doing so. let's take a look at the international criminal court's pursuit of sars or islam since this. start of libyan revolution in february twenty seventh well six months into the on the rest the i.c.c. issued an arrest warrant for both cohen gadhafi and his son on charges of crimes against humanity of the deaths of political opponents when the war in libya ended with the death of moammar gadhafi at the hands of rebels in october twenty seventh

when our investigation or trial into vats killing followed where 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 fate of his father and whether he was captured by leaving the authorities while trying to leave the country in the. shortly afterwards the government announced he would go on trial for war crimes in tripoli rejecting the i.c.c. calls for his handover saying it had no jurisdiction and in june international criminal court officials were detained by libyan armed groups for several weeks after visiting him accused of conspiring against the state since then the hasn't had access to a lawyer but the i.c.c. is approval for its domestic trial of gadhafi son in may this year the right to request was rejected but on jones the i.c.c. appointed lawyer for science for islam i spoke to artie's oksana boyko in a talk show worlds apart and explained why he says there's little chance of a fair trial in libya. what do you thing is the most realistic scenario what do you

think is the most likely afraid that he can face if he's delivered to the hague to the i.c.c. he may well stand a good chance of being acquitted and being being freed because you can have a fair trial before an international court you can have a trial in circumstances where there isn't until gadhafi which antonen the country they say credibility at this point of time is pretty tarnished not only by be wholely be an affair because the i.c.c. played a very destructive very politicized role in this whole a libyan controversy and the lead up to the. ouster of more market a few but what do you think will be his most realistic fate if he's tried in libya it would not be a fair trial and he would be convicted and would receive the death penalty only a couple of weeks ago a former education minister mr ibrahim was sentenced to death after a very short process in misrata and it's clear that this you duffy could easily

suffer the same fate. just go back to your point about the i.c.c. and i think one has to distinguish the different organs of the i.c.c. you can talk about the prosecutor. who she or he at the time chose to indict and whether that's a political decision or not but when we talk about a fair trial you're talking about three judges who have been chosen for their independence and impartiality in their expertise and i'm confident that we would have a fair trial before the i.c.c. . can catch the full interview with john james in about fifteen. and my colleague andrew farmer spoke to the bin or maker who said the country has every right to try to get off this song without interference so he's a libyan all the crimes on the charges against him. committed in. every libyan believes that he should be tried in libya none of those. none of the

crimes that he's been charged with are being committed outside libya so there's no reason whatsoever to to to try him outside libya and as the demand of all libyans why do you think this being such a battle end as to where to try him where the brattle the president is not with what 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 that we in libya. coming up you are winds of change in iran the president rouhani seems to be steering his own into a more moderate future leasing the political prisoners and promising new nuclear weapons just ahead. on the german election campaign heats up in just three days to go before the boats for the young people feel left on the margins. looks to remain child stuff but still to come.

negatively as soon as mr rouhani became president they slap new sanctions now they're taking a building that's linked to the iranian community in the united states. these are not positive signs but still the iranians are waiting to see over the next few days and few weeks if the united states is going to rethink its previous irrational approach towards iran. that's a case of safety in numbers as hundreds of migrants pour over a well trained border to morocco in a small pocket of spanish territory are not hunted for head hunting but. on the police probe has been launched in the u.s. into one of the best the most highly trained units were asked to stand down even as a deadly shootout was in progress details on our website. write the scene. first for you and i think that your.

secrets about adoption of foreign children they expose it often by using the term read 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 found out that on just one yahoo group are 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 the clearing the child isn't of the other adults care so for those of you who think that i am a cruel nationals because i support russians doctrine been then take a look at the child exchange and you might just start to see my point but that's just my opinion.

a lot of welcome to world the party next month marks two years since the brutal killing of the former libyan leader moammar gadhafi by the nato assisted militia and while his atrocious lynching shocked the wall in retrospect it may actually be unviable compared to the fate of get out his eldest son faithful islam who for the past twenty months has been held in solitary confinement awaiting trial will justice be ever served in his case and what is justice in mourning today only be able to discuss that i'm now joined by joan jones a british lawyer representing safe gadhafi mr jones thank you very much for your time now as far as i understand your client is expected to appear in court on september nineteenth but those charges have nothing to do with the two thousand and eleven revolution as far as i understand he is accused of trying to escape an

insulting believe been flagged now compared to you know the main charges against him which are crimes against humanity these these offenses seem pretty minor and yet they're taking the priority he's being tried on them a note on the main charges against him could you update us on this case because it's so pretty messy it's hard to make sense from. all those conflicted media reports that we are getting yes which is very hard to be sure of what's going on in libya because there are conflicting announcements by the libyan authorities all the time what i understand is that ninety september will be not only the charges as you said of insulting the national flag but also the war crimes charges relating to the nz in two thousand and eleven and perhaps just to explain what that means the there was a visit last year in june last year by an official i.c.c. delegation of the law from the i.c.c. to meet with safe khadafi it was supposed to be a meeting which would be a privilege.
