12:01 am
you're watching on t.v. live from moscow and see france thank you for joining me. european diplomats and foreign activists have accused israeli troops of man handling them as they tried to deliver aid to the west bank security forces also sees a truck carrying tents and emergency supplies meant for palestinian bedouins whose homes were demolished by israel earlier this week archies paula slayer has more on the incident that caused a stir in israel and abroad. most particular incident happened on friday from the information we have a group of european diplomats were driving in a truck when they were fired at by the israeli army now they say that they were targeted by some grenades that a french diplomat was literally yanked from the truck before the army drove away the diplomats had inside this truck tents as well as emergency supplies that they were trying to deliver to a bad one community that earlier in the week had seen its homes its kindergarden
12:02 am
and its stables demolished by the israeli army now we've been unable to get any kind of comment from either the israeli police or the israeli army what i can tell you is that this is one of three dead one communities that in the last six weeks has been targeted by the israeli army for this particular community that comprises of some one hundred twenty people in the west bank they want to hold given a court order given by the israeli high court for the army to demolish their homes saying that they were illegal but it does point to a much bigger problem that you have here in the west bank among between communities and that is that the communities themselves say that they need the land for the grazing of the cattle that the families have lived big for generations and that they simply have nowhere else to go in this particular community there were two attempts earlier in the week by the european community to try and reach the bad ones they did manage to get to them and put up some tents before these were forcibly taken down by the israeli army now the european diplomats who come from
12:03 am
countries such as bush and so on spain ireland and australia as you can well imagine are furious they say that there's been a complete disregard for the diplomatic community and they are calling on the international community to apply and pressurizes role to that hearing to international human rights activist peter tatchell explains why he thinks israel's actions qualify as a brazen violation of international law. every aspect of this incident is in defiance of both israeli and international law the starting point of course is that this incident happened in the occupied territories which the global consensus is that israel is illegally occupying since they were seized in the one nine hundred sixty seven war so israel shouldn't even be there but if it is going to be there as the occupying power it has a duty to safeguard the welfare and interests of all the people in that territory
12:04 am
and quite clearly denying a two destitute palestinian found news who've had their homes demolished by views released military that is quite clearly not fulfilling their obligations under international law to safeguard people in the territories they control syria has made a step toward implementing the chemical disarmament plan brokered by russia and the united states by starting to detail its toxic arsenal based chemical weapons watchdog has received partial data on the stockpiles with more details expected within the next few days artie's pos caught has more. well under the deal of brokered between washington and moscow in geneva last weekend a syria has until saturday to disclose its arsenal of chemical weapons and the process has begun the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons or o.p.c. w for short a spokesman for that organization says we have received part of the verification and we expect more that's what the spokesperson was quoted as saying it's believed
12:05 am
that the initial declaration outlining syria's chemical weapons program has been handed over however when contacted by our take p.c. w. did confirm that a meeting on syria that was settled for sunday has been postponed no reason was given no future date has been set now it's believed that syria has one thousand tons worth of chemical weapons dotted around the country making it logistically difficult for this process to be carried out president bashar al assad was quoted in made to wake saying that the process could take over a year just about over a year of course under that deal struck in geneva syria has until the middle of two thousand and fourteen to complete the process of the united nations are set to discuss a possible u.n. resolution in new york next week on the syrian crisis that will give a legal backing to the deal struck in geneva however the two sides have slightly
12:06 am
different views on the wording of that possible resolution with the united states britain and france king for the threat of military intervention to be on the table to remain on the table if damascus fails to comply with the u.n. resolution russia saying that any threat of military intervention is counterproductive and not needed in the initial resolution russia says that only if damascus fails to comply should the matter then be taken back to the united nations where all those discussions are due to take place in new york next week but the early signs are that damascus is keen to comply with that deal struck in geneva last weekend. later this hour we will also look at how progress in disarming syria might affect the region particularly in iraq where there are fresh hopes for nuclear talks after the president held out an olive branch to the west. germans had to the polls tomorrow to vote in a parliamentary election that looks like a foregone conclusion chancellor merkel has almost is almost certain to remain in
12:07 am
power despite growing discontent with the ruling party's policies there are teams peter all over found out declining wages and growing inequality are among the things germans are most concerned about it's billed as europe's economic success story but german voters feel the country is split between the haves and the have nots germans are rich yeah ten percent of germans are the owners vote fifty to sixty percent of all the capital and the gap is getting bigger. our society is divided you're pretty soon germany right here in both homes that are so poor the streets are industry and the theaters have to shut down this town is broke for most people the financial situation isn't good which isn't the image many of germany's european partners have of the federal republic. i think if you were to ask someone from spain they would tell you germany is an economic land of milk and honey but
12:08 am
that just isn't the case perhaps thirty years ago after reunification and the pressures of staying competitive globally those days are gone. one of the ways germany has stayed competitive is by trying to keep wages low i know plenty of spain year isn't greeks who come to burden looking for work this can't allies the how low is it's not enough to survive. in the run up to this election the main opposition has campaigned on a platform of introducing a minimum wage of eight year old fifty per hour the current german government has dismissed those calls i'm glad merkel's party insists that the introduction of a minimum wage would destroy job creation however these people here say they just want a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. we need a meaning which here has to be at a level that people can live on to provide for their families i mean there are so
12:09 am
many jobs around the paper barely enough so you can survive i think eight fifty proposed by the s.d.p. is too low i think it should be closer to twelve per hour. so cold many jobs have also grabbed voters' attention ahead of sunday's ballot almost a quarter of the workforce are employed in these part time and often low paid jobs . if you need some new job you can contribute to what's four hundred you these days everyone in the family has to. sit with my roommate and we realize too little money it's either we give up all the studies and fine move. whoever comes out or so from sunday's politics is going to face the continuing task of keeping germany's economy on track while at the same time trying to please a workforce which feels underpaid and under appreciated peter all of the germany. want to know what's really going on in the european and global economy watch the
12:10 am
latest episode of the kaiser report later today we're max and stacy take a look at what's behind the great uncertainty in the modern day financial system is a short preview. the collapse of lehman or was a market signal that cit should have alerted the government and everyone participating in these markets that their massive reform was needed but instead they interpreted that market saying well as a way to make the situation much worse again i made the comparison to theocratic fanatical religious extremists who misread their fundamentalist texts and everything they read suggest that they should blow themselves up and other people same thing as lloyd blankfein and warren buffet everything they read says i should blow everything up i should commit mass terrorism that's the message that they get from the threat from the price signals that they receive it's a breakdown in capitalism unfortunately and that's predictable because unfortunately the price of money is close to zero and access to money is ubiquitous

12:14 am
and then the cop just came and grabbed me for me. and then just called i believe this is also an intimidation tactic used by the n.y.p.d. why is it that so many people are so on topic with his new position as a visiting professor and what he represents is what we're getting it's not these characters but he represents an area with capital of its own. war. to wage dozens of academics have signed onto a petition calling for all charges against the six cuny students to be dropped in the interim according to reports a growing number of staff and faculty members are also calling on america's former intelligence chief to resign from his position as a visiting professor reporting from new york. r.t. . still ahead after the break breaking up the united kingdom as scotland prepares

12:16 am
us people. reading. this something shoots my brother in the leg not intentional because of it because it was night times four in the morning even the best even the belch shoulders. are going to make mistakes this is this whole idea of brotherhood an author. and camaraderie in this sense it was in this context that has absolutely no place. unexplored and talk to go what is it in this icy expanse that attracts the people who come here. now i only go to the dock. and enter into. a new generation of polar explorers is coming. we have a new group of specialists here now all of them are young how are they going to get
12:17 am
along with each other and i don't know. who. i used to be a bureaucrat. seriously. what adventures await in this mysterious land where do they live what do they eat and what are they actually doing in antarctica . you're watching our t.v. live from moscow with me lindsey france thank you for joining me the u.s. secretary of state says the role of china is vital in solving serious crisis he was speaking after meeting with the chinese foreign minister although the summit saw both sides divided over the issue washington's criticism of beijing was noticeably softer than it has been towards moscow to discuss this we're now joined live by ten
12:18 am
john clune from china's institute of international studies sir thank you so much for joining us if you could tell us please why does the u.s. seem to need so much more careful in its criticism of china's position on syria than it does of russia's. yeah i think that china does not has any specific you know interest to use syria at this time and i have been china can be a moderate are always a party concerned you finding the peaceful solution in that a country actually rescinded and coffee use this sea rule you know clashes between the government and i think gone into foresees and now these has already become a civil war and i think any foreign intervention in the state. of civil war should be very careful about the you know the future of their country so i've been china you know as you know all the countries can be accepted as
12:19 am
a mediator in the coming years in the future can play a very important there though a year in finding the peace for politicos through issues not only the military integration you syria. ok so that the chinese foreign minister mentioned a new model of relations between china and the united states what type of model is he talking about specifically. yeah i think this is a new terminology used by the chinese from hu jintao. they proposed this idea to the american college of parents last in this time of course this idea also was accepted by the us. the samiti in california last june and the fact that how can that you can't. find
12:20 am
a more in a pragmatic areas to cooperate as the. foreign minister you want he mentioned during his speech in. the tuition yesterday that you know we can't start our work operation and cognition if from a suppressive figure region that might be area for the two countries to find in a cop ration and for all boyd and the crash confrontation i think the issue now we're seeing is how it came to be in the mean mean to me on the born as the some american counterpart of proposed we now have the bones of the proposal all the idea but we still have to put a meat on the bones and actually our foreign minister during his speech this time proposed by ideas the five points for example of the mutual trust i think that
12:21 am
should be the most to impart and point to for the two countries to chorus and we are facing a lot of this and we still share our common narrative in copper. so while there are some eighty eighty a logical differences we're talking about to me to a beneficial relationship now are does mean we're seeing the rise of a new bipolar world one this time between the us and china and instead of with the u.s.s.r. . yeah compared with the cold war game you know between the former soviet union and the united states i don't think this time in china and the united states would be a player of any bi-polar in the word has proposed to buy our former state council young. he said bad china and china in the united states should have to see to another g. to that which means cooperation and carbonation in region know and
12:22 am
a global fears and also mutual relations and this is a very important idea proposed to establish a constructed a new relationship to be the big powers that means to avoid any clash or and confrontation between. big power and new developing countries country and developing power so i think this is actually a. priority for the chinese government to you know to explain in depth the id year of a new type of. ok mr tang jen kuhn from china's institute of international studies thank you for joining us and for letting us your insight. the u.s. looks willing to test iran's recent change of tone in relations with the west the white house said it says it's ready to engage in talks and to runs nuclear programs
12:23 am
long as the islamic republic is willing to prove its peaceful purposes joel rubin from the anti-nuclear pressure group the ploughshares fund says the entire middle east would benefit if the two countries could relaunch diplomatic efforts. it's clear that there is time and space for diplomacy it's clear that the sanctions that the international community the united nations russia the europeans the united states have put on iran have really gotten the iranian leader's attention the deal recently between the united states and russia on syria's chemical weapons has demonstrated that diplomacy can work now it's a question of will it be followed through by assad the same can be said for ron if we can see these issues resolved diplomatically it's going to create a sense of stability in what has been a very unstable region now it certainly is in the interests of the people who live there as well as united states and russia and over our website could the touch id
