5:01 am
you're watching our two live from moscow i'm lindsey friends 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 archie's policy player has more on the incident that's caused a star in israel and abroad. 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 out 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
5:02 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 all the israeli army what i can tell you is that this is one of three different 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 the 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 here 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
5:03 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
5:04 am
and quite clearly denying a two destitute palestinian families who've had their homes demolished by the israelis 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 debased chemical weapons watchdog has received partial data on the stockpiles with more details expected but for the next few days archies pos got 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
5:05 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 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 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
5:06 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 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 week. later this hour we'll also look at how progress in disarming syria might affect the region particularly in iran where there are fresh helps 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
5:07 am
despite growing discontent discontent with the ruling party's policies as artie's peter over found out declining wages and growing inequality are among the things germans are most concerned about its builders 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. fifty to sixty percent of all the capital and the gap is getting bigger. our society is divided here pretty soon germany like hearing more homes that are so poor the streets are industry and the theaters have to shut down. 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
5:08 am
is an economic land of milk and honey with 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 years in greeks who come to britain looking for work this candle eyes how low 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 are saying they just want a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. we need a meaning which here has to be of a level that people can leave on to provide for their families and there are so many jobs around that barely enough so you can survive i think eight fifty proposed
5:09 am
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 medium union jobs are no good if you can't contribute to the bench and it's four hundred euro these days everyone in the family has to work i sit with my roommate and we realize 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 peach all over r.t. germany. he wants know what's really going on in the european and global economy

5:24 am
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 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. no origin. stories others who refuse to notice.
