or international even comment around the caucuses out. of the civil war that's devastated syria for more than two years has seemingly changed beyond recognition from the initial conflict rebel forces and al qaeda linked factions that once for side by side in the n.t.'s and push now pitted against each other in violent bottles reports suggest that increasingly the more radical elements if need to be gaining ground on the most recent. he sees the strategic town of near the turkish border ousting the free syrian army rebels and jihadists stormy area on wednesday in some of the most severe fighting between the two factions yet when the town sits on a key rebel weapons supply route raising fears that arms could fall into the hands of is the most militant assaults by archiving extremists become a daily headache for syria's kurdish minority as well the kurds managed to drive

them out of a village earlier this week more than twenty people reportedly died in the clash on both sides. across live now to james colbert who's been closely following events here tell us thanks for joining us first of all i should say but why are we seeing this split within the opposition ranks of al-qaeda linked factions were supporting the opposition greatly what seems to have happened. well i think that we can see in the latest in the latest clashes that have occurred since the chemical weapons attack and the lack of outside intervention i think we can see a bit of i suppose restlessness on the part of the outside insurgent forces that are seeking to cause a greater ruckus in the country and were hoping that the chemical weapons attack would draw in that foreign military intervention but without that i think that all bets are off the table and the foreigners the foreign jihadists who have no real homes in syria to to worry about i think are are not so concerned about the the consequence of long term consequences for the country as the the need of fighters

would be but you said a greater ruckus that what's the agenda of these radicals in syria in your opinion well there are i think a lot of different. people at the table a lot of different countries that have their own interests in what's going on in syria right now that range everywhere from the saudis who are just interested in making sure that shia rebellion is not successful in in in any country and in making sure that it's the shias are put down in their own country you have cutter and turkey who are interested in regional dominance and some of the pipeline politics related to some of the part proposed by planes that are going through syria you have israel which is always worried about threats to its own itself from from some of the groups in the area and you have foreign u.s. and nato allies that are always interested in what's happening in the region so you have a lot of different players that are there for different reasons and then you have these these front and other foreign jihadists that are being shipped in this as sort of the sword of these thieves different interested parties at the table so it

creates a very violent and chaotic situation and to certain extent for some of the interested parties there in the chaos is in fact a goal of what's happening there rather than any particular outcome i think that the destabilization it's plays into the hands of many of the people who want to see the syrian government basically thrown off kilter and destabilized it's interesting you mention turkey there and turkey has already closed one of its supply routes in the area is that enough to make sure that the arms which are being shipped to syria what fall into the hands of the hotness for example. i think it's much much too late for that and we've seen not only that this has been a likely consequence of what's been happening there but it has been in fact already happening for quite some time and i think that all of the the arms and funds and training that's been supplied to the free syrian army i think have been equally falling into the hands of the foreign jihadists and the others that are that as i say are there to create

a bigger ruckus i don't think that there is any way to really stop the flow of weapons or funds. into one group going into the other groups hands and i think that that has always been a bit of a pipe dream and something that has been sold to the public of the west for example that's been wary of this type of intervention but i think it's just been a dream that they've been selling them and it is a complicated situation and to some extent it looks like both the army and the rebels are facing the same enemy and how could this play out. well i suppose there are a number of different scenarios and i think it really does depend quite a bit on what happens at the international geo political level especially now with the latest u.n. report in the wranglings over syrian disarmament and and i think that a lot will rest in the hands of the quote unquote so-called international community whatever that means these days and some of the the real big divisions that are happening right now between for example of course the u.s. and russia. ok after they get their journalist james called thanks very much indeed

for that thank you well this is a syrian leadership aims to avoid the foreign missile strike and ask us has taken steps to hand over its chemical austral why they are promoted by russia as diplomats have been in syria flushing out the issue. for national ripples. russia's deputy foreign minister has spent two days here in damascus to discuss the country's chemical disarmament plan according to which syria has to destroy or remove its chemical weapons by two thousand and fourteen but first to provide a full list of its chemical weapons and stockpiles by the end of this week that's according to the deal that moscow and washington agreed or on over the weekend in geneva the deal that became sort of a political and diplomatic turn a two two and miniature response to the use of the chemical weapons here in syria all these just days after the u.n. investigators released their report over the use of chemical weapons here in syria

they've been working here for several some time and they released a report that an exclusive interview to r t russia's deputy foreign minister said to get it called 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 the u.n. mission here mission of experts which came and investigated the incident so strong

was asked to look into the and eventually factor this new evidence into the final report never happened in fact and this is one of the reasons why we criticize in complete confidence of this report russia will also carry out its own examination of the evidence provided by the syrian government and will also transfer these information to the un security council mosco is calling for further investigation by un and it's 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 or syria's president said he's committed to chemical disarmament the process will take at least a year and cost around the billion dollars comments came in an interview bashar al

assad to fox news highlights available on our website r.t. dot com. the murder of a prominent anti fascist musician has sent greece into a frenzy right some clashes sweeping the country because 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 correspondents the government reports now from the midst of its own. 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 tinder box that unfortunately hung this particular evening erupted and came to a rather terrible clash. politicians now are jumping on the bandwagon with the government dropping hints it may try to outlaw golden dawn a foreign group is now the third largest in parliament and said to be growing fast george a country girl or a professor of constitutional law believes the rise of extremist sentiment in greece is directly linked to the state of the economy. they're not going to do with the good people is exactly what these austerity measures at the force of the the i get into despair you speak you know so did eyes of the new feist's in the first this is a small minority of people now we've got a massive demonstration of the public sector of a council. and i've caused

a lot of violence the most fearsome but all of that has been a complete lie the matter was like young peasant babysit notifies the group the only hope for peace is that three of us lisa stated or does it come back to that amount of wealth over utopia so states. are coming out you know wind of change and iran hasn't rouhani it seems to be staring us into a more moderate future releasing political prisoners and missing the nuclear weapons still ahead. wealthy british style some time to find the right.

a comeback now iranian the preston their son rouhani pledged to completely peaceful nuclear future for his country the statement has been generally welcomed by the international community and is seen as a step by terror on towards a more moderate starts in the global political arena let's have a look at turn on iran's nuclear lector the leader has already done. so on his vow he's no military ambitions for iran's nuclear program has become tehran's the latest move to establish woman relations with its critics every now and lawyer and human rights activists nasreen day it was released from prison along with ten other political prisoners another sign of a new approach the country's leader exchanged letters with iraq obama which were later described as positive and constructive the appointment of western educated mohammad raef as foreign minister has already been praised was artie's were important reports some of washington's actions could jeopardize the prospects of open dialogue. the great empire and its favorite nemesis

for decades relations between the u.s. and iran have been ice cold but in recent months attitudes have been thawing ron and washington have taken steps to overcome years of hostility to begin with president hassan rouhani is appointment of foreign minister mohammad it is a relief was received positively by western officials this summer zarif a western educated former iranian ambassador to the u.n. has been called a worthy negotiating partner the appointment has been seen by some as an olive branch to the white house another optimistic development came in july when one hundred thirty one members of the u.s. house of representatives wrote a letter to u.s. president barack obama encouraging him to use the opportunity offered by president rouhani for the improvement of bilateral relations this comes as he launched a new moderate leader who has promised more freedoms at home and constructive

engagement with the world travels to new york for the united nations general assembly debate however on the heels of mr rouhani arrival the u.s. government is preparing to seize a thirty six storey meant hotton skyscraper that prosecutors say is secretly owned and controlled by the iranian government a u.s. judge has ruled that the owners of this fifth avenue building known as the alvey foundation and asset corporation transferred rental income and other funds to an iranian the state owned bank a violation of u.s. sanctions this seizure could not come at a worse time considering that the leaders of the u.s. and iran could possibly meet face to face next week reporting from new york marina for niamh r.t. . well from some more expert insight let's talk to terry coker the research or at least a two for international and strategic relations in paris ranks which. joining us

her life and today in your opinion what is trying to achieve with these latest moves. and i think really the first objective of one knee is really to try to solve the nuclear issue. that's really known date and if he has the backing of the regime because you know those sanctions that have been put in place are really arming the iranian economy so it's first mission is to solve the nuclear issue and to do that he needs to have a better relationship with the u.s. that's its main objective eventually relationship them and what steps would the iranian government have to take in order to get that better relationship. you know i think that be i.v. snoop very soon you have the question of the relationship between iran and the u.s. and. also with this friday and so i think that you know the two countries have been

really nearly at. a nine hundred seventy nine revolution so they just need to talk to you know the fact that one the. return of later to obama. obama has ensured and the fact that you know then they really need to start to talk to each other and then i think quietly they will be able to solve some of their issues but they need to talk to each other yes you mentioned talk and letters there seems to be a degree of optimism how far is hardly prepared to go in on that line. you know i think as i told you corny as a mandated by the all regime especially by the supreme leader they have come to the conclusion do your regime you know even though our line is i've come to the conclusion that the situation cannot go on they need to to solve the nuclear issue they knew to decrease the amount of economic pressure on the country so they need to engage with the u.s. that's really

a conclusion and they really are so you some vision is through. i think they are they are good they are ready to be flexible but there are also some bread lines large that they will never give up to the fact that there are iran wants to enrich uranium but they're ready to be flexible you mentioned sanctions that and saying how it's hurting iran what the u.s. reconsider the imposition of sanctions in the light of these moves in your opinion . it's going to be a tough job because as you know you know the sanctions have been voted by the congress and the senate so it would have to go to a lengthy lengthy process to decrease sanctions but i think still the u.s. government and the european governments can do you know to try to decrease some of the sanctions to try to push you know more economic relationship or zero i think it's a process and i think the iranians are opening that the process of decreasing sanctions will start as soon as possible and carol thanks for watching the cherry coke will

thank you indeed for that day. thank you. now the son of the late libyan dictator colonel gadhafi has briefly appeared in court but this trial immediately adjourned until december saif al islam is accused of war crimes during the country's twenty levon civil war the hearings are taking place near tripoli despite the international criminal court's many requests to send him to the hague. has the details of that. 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 member 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 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 original fourteen's for not handing them over to face 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 for what is interesting is that it was the libyan rebels themselves before they came into government and with the forefront of forming 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 has 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. for us live there well let's take a look at the international criminal court's pursuit of science since the start of the libyan revolution in february twenty second was six months into the unrest the i.c.c. issued arrest warrants for both colonel gadhafi and his son on charges of crimes against humanity and war in libya ended with the death of moammar gadhafi at the hands of rebels in october twentieth eleven the i.c.c. then started informal talks with saif islam urging him to surrender himself to the hague however he was captured by libyan authorities while trying to leave the country in the vendor shortly afterwards the government announced he would go on

trial for war crimes tripoli rejecting the i.c.c. as calls for his handover saying it had no jurisdiction. in june the international criminal court officials were detained by libyan armed groups for several weeks off the visiting him accused of conspiring against the state since then he hasn't had access to a lawyer be a sought the r.c.c. is approval for its domestic trial of gadhafi son in may this year but that request was rejected. john jones the i.c.c. appointed lawyer for science on islam spoke to marty's ex on a boy in her talk show worlds apart and explained why he says there's little chance of a fair trial in libya. what do you think 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's an empty gadhafi which antonen the country i see credibility at this point of time is pretty tarnished not only by be wholely be in a fair 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 marget a few but what do you think will be his most realistic fate if he is tried in libya it would not be if he would be convicted and would receive the death penalty only a couple of weeks ago a former education minister mr abraham was sentenced to death after a very short process in israel and it's clear that if you don't he 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 chose to indict and whether that's a political decision alone but when we talk about

a fair trial you're talking about three judges who have been chosen for their independent. expertise and i'm confident that they would have a fair trial before the i.c.c. . they can watch the full interview with john jones at seventeen thirty g.m.t. and earlier we spoke to a libyan nor maker who said the country has every right to try to get off of out of foreign interference. so if we get there he's a libyan all the crimes on the charges against him that have been filed committed in libya and i believe me and 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 libya so there's no reason whatsoever to to to try him outside libya and the demand of all libyans we knew from day one we wanted to try all of them including see if we get that in in libya. more of global headlines for you now this hour

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 just 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 to clearing the child is another adult's care so for those of you who think i am a cruel national speakers 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.
