in moscow i met president good to have you with us here on r.t. our top story the international chemical weapons watchdog says the syrian government has complied with its promise and handed over the last of its details to the toxic are all of the toxic arsenal to it the agency this is part of syria's chemical disarmament plan hammered out by russia and the u.s. last week arena has more. maskers has fulfilled its obligation to send all the documents regarding its chemical stockpile to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons or the p.c. w of course the obvious w. has to work out a framework in order to deal with the procedures of the disarmament of syria they were supposed to hold a meeting on that on sunday but they have a postponed that indefinitely of course that was before it became known that damascus has already sent the entire package of documents needed to all p c w so

we'll have to wait and see exactly what will transpire now but the united nations is slated to hold a discussion in new york in the coming week in order to devise a good deal hammered out between moscow and washington about a week ago in geneva according to that deal damascus has until the middle of two thousand and fourteen in order to completed disarmament program now there is of course some difficulties involved there with that and that is the fact that the chemical stockpiles are the syrian chemical stockpiles are actually distributed between various points in the country and not all of those parts are controlled entirely by the official damascus and of course there is also some disagreements when it comes to the wording of the potential u.n. resolution where is london washington and paris that want to see the threat of military intervention be included in the provisions of the potential u.n. resolution and moscow says such a provision would be counterproductive we had

a russian presidential administrations have given also when speaking in stockholm earlier on saturday said that russia is not going to veto any u.n. resolution on syria out of principle but he said that there is absolutely no excluding the possibility of russia changing its stance we're not doing the syrian government we're protecting international and if in future for example talking no fear ridiculous and you pathetically but if we become sure russia will become sure that for example. we're we might change your position but so far we don't have such evidence but again russia has been adamant about about the necessity of the diplomatic solution of the syrian crisis and has been pushing the syrian government towards the discussion table russia has done its part under the russian american initiative on may seventh we have secured the mast this commitment to send delegation to geneva conference. american partners

so far failed to do the see the talks with the opposition it also looks like according to sergei one of that the syrian opposition doesn't seem to be so interested in getting to the discussion table on top of that it is notoriously dishrag mantid with some inner scuffles happening sporadically over the past several years as a matter of fact and also we must not forget about the fact that there are also numerous groups within syria itself which are fighting supposedly for the opposition but at the same time they are openly affiliated with al qaida and of course issued a military involvement being in fact put in place by states such as the united states or france or the united kingdom of course that would mean a complete and total mayhem in syria something which has we we have already seen happening in countries such as libya. b. used to be alarm over the influx of refugees from syria well officials say the stream of asylum seekers has been manageable so far there are fears that as the

conflict continues the number of those fleeing the nation will swell among those most concerned italy and bold garia italy's already accepted some forty six hundred refugees this year readying for sixteen thousand more bug areas says it's struggling to cope with the more than two thousand has already taken in and is even asked the e.u. for help so far this year most asylum requests have been made to sweden with forty seven hundred and germany with forty five hundred and seven hundred requests have been submitted to france britain says it's not planning to take in any syrian refugees offering instead financial aid to other members of the block with the asylum system put under such pressure though some states are urging a review most insist there can be no easing though of asylum rules. top e.u. officials have demanded israel explain why its security forces confiscated emergency aid bound for palestinians on friday i.d.f. troops manhandle a group of either you diplomats and seized a truck with supplies they were accompanying the aid was aimed for inhabitants of

a west bank better when village demolished by israeli authorities or his policy or has more video has just been released so in his radio soldiers manhandling a group of u.s. diplomats as they try to bring supplies emergency aid as well as tents in a truck to a community of bad winds living in the west bank this particular community just a few days earlier had their homes destroyed by the is way beyond me if you look at the video you can see the diplomats being surrounded by huge group of these maybe soldiers as my french diplomats mates who complained she was physically dragged from the truck she was forced to the ground without any kind of a god full diplomatic immunity not the i.d.f. has said that it is a luncheon a probe but at the same time the army has said that this was a provocation and also to quote the idea of a disturbance of the p. yes the e.u. diplomats deny this they say that there was a blatant disregard for international law that they were physically manhandled and

at the same time to quote them what happened was shocking and outrageous the e.u. diplomats saying that the israeli army has a moral responsibility that is also bound by international law to look after the kids as well as assist people who are living in occupied territory now at the same time we're talking here about a community of bad ones this is one of three communities that in the last six weeks has seen it has its homes destroyed and earlier the israeli high court will that this particular community which is known as the kid a bit out maku community comprising some one hundred twenty people were living illegally on land that was israeli and as such they gave the order for the israeli army to bulldoze the homes they kindergarden as well as the stables but the argument from the community as indeed has been the argument from other bedwyn communities who have faced a similar type of scenario is that they have nowhere else to go they've been living

on the land for generations and that the land is also needed as herding ground and that and for their cattle to graze an essentially that is their source of livelihood they will attempt earlier in the week by the e.u. to try and assist this community fallen trees day and wednesday they did manage to reach the community they managed to put up some tents but these were later taken down by the israeli army can also hearing from european union diplomats who were involved in this unfortunate incident is that what israel is doing is not helpful to negotiations let me remind you that just last month the israelis and palestinians after a three year hiatus returned to the negotiating table and certainly these kind of incidents are not going to do anything to push the peace process forward. the chance to make a breakthrough in talks has suffered another setback there were palestinian can. still luring into a field then killing a twenty year old israeli soldier whose body was found earlier in the west bank and

then was hoping to exchange his corpse for the release of his brother who's a jailed in an israeli prison for taking part in a number of terror attacks. at least ninety six people now declared dead in a series of blasts in a shiite muslim stronghold in baghdad in the deadliest assault on civilians this year the majority killed in a suicide attack by bombers in a funeral and it densely populated shiite neighborhood of sadr city in the country's capital and you are activist richard becker from the answer coalition thinks the us toppling of saddam hussein allowed sectarian violence to get a foothold in iraq the fundamental cause of the ongoing violence in iraq the u.s. invasion and occupation which tore iraqi society apart and in which at the time of the occupation the u.s. occupiers favored certain groups in the population against others demolished the state that existed and said in that place in its place we are going to give you

something new and better democratic and wonderful and in fact the tearing apart of iraqi society back in two thousand and three. is still. reaping the kind of consequences that we saw the horrible consequences that we saw in iraq and i think that. we sponsibility grame for this has never. been attributed in the mainstream media in the united states to those who are responsible and that is those who created this war the bush administration and all of its agents. so the guy on the white house taking tentative steps toward iran as offer of negotiation washington has agreed to talk something that hasn't happened for decades as long as tehran proves its nuclear program is strictly for civilian purposes plus. the city university of new york academics stage a rally angry they say over the appointment of former cia director david petraeus to the faculty you stories and more after

green. green. green. video for your media project the media. the us willing to revive diplomatic relations with iran but only if the republican proves its nuclear program is strictly civilian in a statement released by the white house washington didn't rule out the possibility that the two countries' leaders could meet on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly next week historian an investigative journalist gareth porter says that it's yet to be seen if the u.s. is ready to move towards diplomacy when president obama was first elected he was committed to a very far reaching diplomatic engagement with iran but we know now that in fact his policy was much different from what it was being presented to the world's

people at that time and in fact he was not committed to trying to reach a agreement with iran in the short run he was putting off any serious diplomatic engagement so i think it's very difficult to say on the basis of statements issued by the white house at this point whether there is going to be or has been a shift in u.s. diplomacy toward really being willing to make the kind of concessions that are going to have to be made specifically with regard to the economic sanctions against iran that that has to be on the table it has to be a major part of if not all the economic sanctions that are going to be. on the table for a agreement to be reached. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe kenyan security forces still trying to secure a shopping center in the capital nairobi where a militant attack has left thirty nine dead and one hundred fifty injured so far at

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 to tell me what led to your arrest i believe this. some of us were already targeted by the police already know who they were going to runs and then i mean they pushed us into the streets and it just started from there where they grabbed one of my comrades about like seven to fifteen cars slammed his head against the current and we're just all on top of him so then i went to try to help him and within the process i ended up pulling him between two cars on to the back of my head then i proceeded to get up and then when i looked at a back of me there's another about like. cars on top of my other car you can

reduce and which means they picked up a shirt. and a plain clothes officer just take soon to blow. and then the cop just came and grabbed me. and then just. i believe this is also an intimidation tactic used by the n.y.p.d. why is it that so many people are so i'm happy with his new position as a visiting professor and what he was saying is what we're getting it's not a scary it's what he represents and serialism capital of. war. to wage dozens of academics have signed on to 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 strong independent nation we will take the opportunities that are there a lot of people have come here with their children it's the family event and you can see the crowds coming down with their signs one of the signs i was reading earlier saying yes takes courage well it certainly does this going to take a little more than courage to get the amount that they need to see scotland become an independent country and there are some big questions this still need to be answered i think it's a natural majority for the pandas because people believe the nation more than not if you ask people where do you want the economy to be run from i want to be if you want so security wait to be run from london would you want to cite. the london people see. these decisions for scotland to be made in school if you

believe things together that's a yes vote for independence because in order to pull the economy well for you to decide but are not to have a beautiful country contaminated by nuclear weapons we have to take these decisions that is what independence is if it became independent to morrow would become the most prosperous country in the c.b.d. so scotland is a strong country economically the real question is can we use that economic strength to build a more just society will struggle on attendance. the scottish independence rally today for this campaign gets questioned on if the detail is take the more hard he will be provided when the government publishes its white paper on independence and . these people here have already made that mindset but what this referendum will rest on is the last chunk of the population. that's according to the polls remain as yet undecided. and just

a few hours the germans will head to the polls to vote for a new parliament with chancellor angela merkel looking to set looking set to win a third term under her lead the country is largely managed to dodge the economic problems that have crippled a number of its european neighbors many german citizens say they are bitter over a decline in disposable income and a rise in unstable part time work or teams peter all reports 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 only fifty to sixty percent of all the capital and the gap is getting bigger and our society is divided there are places in germany like here in both 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 that just isn't the case perhaps thirty years ago after reunification and the pressure is 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 here isn't greeks who come to berlin looking for work they are scandalized by how low our pay 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 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 are saying they just want a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. we need

a minimum wage here and it has to be at a level that people can live 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 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 . meaning jobs are no good if you can contribute to a pension was four hundred euro these days everyone in the family has to work i said with my roommate we realized we make to a little cash it's a case of either we give up our studies and find more work or we lose our flat. whoever comes out from sunday's ballot is going to face the continuing task of keeping jimmy's economy on track well at the same time trying to please a workforce which feels underpaid and under appreciated peter all of
