israeli troops are under fire for roughing up foreign diplomats and preventing them from delivering aid to palestinian bed wind whose entire community was demolished. syria keeps up with its chemical disarmament obligations by submitting an inventory of its stockpiles to the international watchdog. and those germans prepared to vote in sunday's parliamentary election despite the almost certain return for angola merkel the solution remains over the growing income gap and tough job market.

you're watching r t live from moscow i'm lindsey france thanks for joining me. european diplomats and foreign activists have accused israeli troops of manhandling them as they tried to deliver aid to the west bank security forces also seized a truck carrying tents and emergency supplies meant for palestinian bedouins whose homes were demolished by israel earlier this week artie's palace lawyer has more on the incident causing a stir in israel and abroad. most particular incident happened on fine day 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 the truck tents as well as emergency supplies that they were trying to deliver to a bed one community that earlier in the week had seen its homes its kindergarden

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 they've been 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 they families have lived there 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

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 pressurise israel to that hearing to international human rights activist peter factual 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 interest of all the people in that territory

and quite clearly denying a two destitute palestinian families 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 they have based chemical weapons watchdog has received partial data on these stockpiles with more details expected but the next few days are tears pasco has more. well under the deal a 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 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 and 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 awake 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 for 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

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 and 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 while those discussions a-g. 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'll also look at how progress in disarming syria might affect the region particularly in iran where they're fresh hopes for nuclear talks after the new president held out an olive branch to the west. germans head to the polls tomorrow to vote in a parliamentary election that looks like

a foregone conclusion chancellor merkel is almost certain to remain in power despite growing discontent with the really party's policies and as artie's peter all of her found out that climbing wages and growing inequality are among the things germans are most concerned about it's billed as europe's economic success story the german voters feel the country is split between the haves and the have nots germans are rich yeah ten percent of germans are they only vote fifty to sixty percent of all the capital and the gap is getting bigger and our society is divided there are pretty soon germany like here in both homes that are so poor the streets are in disrepair and the theatres 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 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 spin here is in greeks who come to burden looking for work this can't allies the how low or 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 eighty 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. there are so many

jobs around that 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 any many many jobs are no good you can't contribute to a pension with four hundred euros these days everyone in the family has to work i searched with my roommate and we realized i make too little money it's a case of either we give up our studies and find more work or lose our flat whoever comes out on top from sunday's ballot 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 r.t. germany if you want to know what's really going on in the european and global

economy watch the latest episode of the kaiser report later this hour lacson stacy take a look at what's behind the great uncertainty in the modern day financial system for the short preview. the collapse of lehman was a market signals 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 in 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 by the stock receiving america ruled by the least qualified not to mention the

recently began his new career here in the big apple as an adjunct professor for the new york city public university known as kuni but his attendance has been met with broad criticism from students faculty and staff members who say they don't want their college to host the man who oversaw the wars drone strikes and alleged torture tactics in the middle east now for the past few weeks this anti professor pre-trained his movement has been gaining traction recently activists tell me that they're on their campaign has been met with heavy handed tactics from the new york city police department now earlier this week about seventy five people were marching right around here across the street from not building where professor patrol was allegedly attending a fundraiser and that's when a fight broke out between new york city police officers and protesters cops who videotaped trying to barricade the activists who then spilled out onto the streets

witnesses say students were punched slammed against to be equals and on to the pavement by the cops eventually six people were arrested and have been charged with obstruction of governmental administration riot resisting arrest and disorderly conduct twenty four year old denise ford is among the six students that were arrested during the protest and spent twenty eight hours in police custody she joins me now to talk about her experience denise tell me what led to your arrest i believe some of us were already targeted by the police so that you know they were going to rise and then i mean they pushed us into the streets and they just started from there where they grabbed one of mine about like seven to fifteen cops slammed his head against the car and we're just all on top of. so then i went to try to help him out and within the process i ended up falling in between two cars on to

the back of my head then i proceeded to get up and then when i looked to the back of me there's another about like. one in cars on top of my other calmer believes and which i witness they picked up his shirt. and a plain clothes officer just to. blows to his kid and then the cop just came and grabbed me pull me out and then just called i believe this was also an intimidation type used by the n.y.p.d. why is it that so many people are so on happy with his new position as a visiting professor and what he thinks is what we're going it's not his character it's what he represents an area with a capital of. war. to wage

a question of will it be followed through by assad the same can be said for iran 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 the united states and russia and now to some other news in brief starting with pakistan where former top taliban commander mooloolaba darkens to to be released from prison the country's foreign minister said that baradar will help the afghan reconciliation process he was one of the founders of the taliban in afghanistan and was a linchpin of the insurgency after the u.s. led invasion in two thousand and one but a daughter was captured in the pakistani city of karachi back in two thousand and ten. china's meteorological center has issued a red alert as superstorm sandy heads toward hong kong this year's largest typhoon is already battering southern parts of taiwan y.b.'s two thousand five hundred

scotland edinburgh is one of the top twenty there's a huge sector and bio science there's a great advantages and and food in textiles is a modern developed economy scorn which is one of these is why independence is so attractive it's not a negative case it's actually a prosperity and progress case i think that's a pragmatic decision i think in general at the moment scotland would be part of the e.u. in any case because there's no provision for expelling a territory that has been subject to european laws for the last forty years that there's a there's a lot of fun but the noise about the spot i think eventually pragmatism would prevail. i'll be back with the news team in about half an hour coming up max is stacy pull no punches on finance that's in the kaiser report after the break.

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 when 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 we're 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 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.
