the syrian government completes the handover of chemical weapons data to a hague based watchdog while moscow says its approach to assad may change if he doesn't play by the rules. top u.s. officials demand israel explain why its military seized a truck with emergency aid for palestinians and reportedly mistreated european diplomats accompanying it. dozens killed in a suicide attack by bombers at a funeral in a shiite neighborhood of baghdad the largest single assault on iraqi civilians this year. now less than a year until scotland decides whether or not to separate from the u.k. but as the days wind down the rhetoric is heating up with oil the centerpiece of disagreement.

four am in moscow good to have you with us here on r t our top story the international chemical weapons watchdog says the syrian government's complied with its pledge and handed over the remaining details of its toxic arsenal to the agency this is part of syria's chemical disarmament plan howard out by russia and the u.s. last week artie's arena reports. 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 o.p.c. w now of course the o.p.c. 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 phone that indefinitely of course that was before it became known that damascus has already sent the entire package of documents needed to all be 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 legitimize 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 that moscow says such a provision would be counterproductive we had

a russian presidential administration sergei ivanov 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 will not protecting the syrian government we're protecting the international and even future for example. ridiculous and you pathetically but if we become sure russia will become sure that for example. with my change of 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 it 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 mask this commitment to send

to geneva conference. american partners have so far failed to do the see the talks with the opposition it also looks like according to sergei ivanov 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 issue the 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. the new alarm over an influx of refugees from syria while 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 concerned mostly and bold garia italy's already accepted some forty six hundred refugees this year already in for sixteen thousand more bold areas says it's struggling to cope with more than two thousand it's already taken in and even ask the e.u. for help so far this year most asylum requests have been made to sweden with forty seven hundred and germany at forty five hundred and seven hundred to france britain says it's not planning to take in syrian refugees offering instead financial aid to other members of the block with the asylum system under such pressure some states are urging the review most and says there can be no easing though of asylum rules. top u.s. officials have demanded answers from israel as to why its security forces confiscated emergency aid bound for palestinians on friday i.d.f. soldiers apparently man had told a group of the e.u. diplomats and seized a truck with supplies they were accompanying the a to aim for inhabitants of the west bank bedouin village to monish by israel demolished by israeli authorities are

his policy reports video has just been released so in his way to the 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 month range diplomats mesa complained she was physically dragged from the truck she was forced to the ground without any kind of a god to fulfill a 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 i.d.f. a disturbance of the peace the e.u. did. the matts 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 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 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 their homes their kindergarten as well as their 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

a herding ground and balance for their cattle to graze in the same that is their source of livelihood they will attempt earlier in the week by the e.u. to try and assist the sterility gallantries 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 but we 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. their chance for breakthrough suffered another setback as a palestinian is confessed to luring into a field then killing a twenty year old israeli soldier whose body was found earlier in the west bank he was hoping to exchange the corpse for the release of his brother who was jailed in

an israeli prison for taking part in a number of terror attacks. at least ninety six people now 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 an attack by suicide bombers at a funeral in the densely populated shiite neighborhood of sadr city in baghdad and he were active as richard becker from the answer coalition thinks the us toppling of saddam hussein a lot of sectarian violence to get a foothold in iraq 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 demolish 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. responsibility for this good claim 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. still ahead the white house taking the first steps towards iran offer of a new iran's offer of negotiation washington agreeing to something that hasn't happened in decades as long as tehran proves its nuclear program is strictly so for civilian use. plus at the city university of new york academic stage a mass rally angry over the appointment of former cia chief david petraeus for the faculty has said more after a short break. this

is the media leave us so we need to be. hard to see who she is she to. play your part of the musical. shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics only of our. critique three. three. three.

three. three. three. video for your media project media r t v dot com. thirteen minutes past the hour now the u.s. willing to revive its diplomatic relations with iran but only if the islamic republic proves that its nuclear program is strictly civilian and a statement from the white house washington didn't rule out the possibility that both countries leaders could meet on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly next week historian and investigative journalist gareth porter though says it's yet to be seen if the u.s. is ready to move toward 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 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. those stories making headlines across the globe in kenya islam is still in the role of a shopping center in the country's capital nairobi where they killed thirty nine

torture tactics in the middle east now for the past few weeks this anti professor pre-training movement has been gaining traction recently after the sell me that they're on their campaign has been met with heavy handed tactics from the new york city police department you know earlier this week about seventy five people were marching right around here across the street from nothing where professor petraeus 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 slammed against the vehicles and onto 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 to tell me what led to your arrest. some of those were to be targeted by the police so that you know who they were gonna run and then they pushed us into the streets and we just started from there with he grabbed one of my palmer about like seven to fifteen pounds slammed his head against the car and we're just all on top of so then i went to try to help him and within the process i ended up pulling him between two callers on to the back of my head then up to see to it to get up and then when i looked at a back of me is another about like sub in so like cars on top of the car tomorrow. and wakes they picked up his shirt. and

a plain clothes officer just takes to like blow to his children and then the cop just came and grabbed for 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 on topic with his new position as a visiting professor what he was saying is what we're getting it's not these characters but he represents an aerialist capital of. war. 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 visiting professor reporting from new york. r.t.

turning out in this recession going through the streets will lend to hello well have won the scottish first minister alex salmond earlier on i was talking to the head of the campaign jenkins he said that there is still a long way. when they mark one. of the eighteen the september twenty fourth. says. yes or no is it beggars belief to me why people would want the government need to make decisions about you know. government get where. they dictate and that doesn't seem like a democracy to me there's a lot of risk i think today is about a show of confidence today is about the people saying we're not afraid. a lot of the no campaign or the better together company has been very negative. the people of scotland just saying we're not afraid we are

a strong independent nation we will take the opportunities that are there and a lot of people have come here with their children it's the family event and you can see the crowds coming down with one of the signs those. reading earlier saying yes takes courage when fifty does this going to take a little more than courage to get the amount that they need to become an independent country and there are some big questions this still need to be on i think it's an optional majority for the pandas because people believe scolds the nation more than not if you ask people we have the will of the economy to be run from along the beach you want so secure the way to be run from london would you want to cite. the london people see. these decisions for scotland to be made in school and if you build these things together that's

a yes vote for independence because in order to build the economy so wealthy and to decide to have a beautiful country can timely buy nuclear weapons we have to take these decisions that is what independence of his if it became independent to morrow would become the most post of this country in that. scotland is a strong country economically the real question is can we use that economic strength to build a more just society will stronger on attendance. the scottish independence rally today for this campaign gets questioned on if the detail it's fake the more cards 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 cost chunk of the population that's according to the polls will remain as yet undecided. and if you

are east germans will have to the polls to vote for a new parliament with chancellor angela merkel looking set to win a third term and her leave the country is largely managed to dodge the economic woes that have crippled a number of its european neighbors but many german citizens are bitter over a possible decline in disposable income and horizon on stable part time work or he's peter offer has more. 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 own a vote 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 homes that are so poor the streets are industry pair 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 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 ers and greeks who come to berlin looking for work they are scandalized by how low our pay is it's not enough to survive it. in the run up to this election the main opposition has campaigned on a platform of introducing a minimum wage of eighty euro fifty per hour the current german government has dismissed those calls i'm a local 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. 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 meaning jobs are no good and you can contribute to pension was four hundred years ago these days everyone in a family has to work i sit 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 so and so from sundays ballasts 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 the gemini

coming up we take a look at a cause of between behind the increasing amount of friendly fire and recent military operations after a short. we talked before about people getting in trouble throughout the usa just for gardening in fact according to the christian science monitor a couple in florida has been fined five hundred dollars a day until they dig up their vegetable garden which is on their own property and mediately people who write these articles draw comparisons to communist russia where people weren't allowed to grow their own food unless the state allowed it yes the revolutionary period in russia forced agriculture to change rapidly and often against the will of many of those involved and this did lead to starvation revolution isn't fun but what about after that while stalin and khrushchev gave out

a lot of doctors which are private summer houses where people guard and also there were markets in the soviet union where people could bring the food they grew to sell to see all these pictures behind me these are people the soviet union selling food they produced privately and legally but there were some moments in soviet history when there were some taxes placed on the sale of your personal goods from your personal labor which according to russian website history of. taxes was around ten percent whether you love or hate communism more than anything doesn't matter there's half truth about shooting soviet gardiner's burns like wildfire on the american side of the internet the real truth is that in fact when the us government for every reason in various forms clamps down on private gardens it isn't the same as communism but it's actually technically worse than communism for the majority of its lifespan where you could guard up as you like excluding the brutal revolutionary period but that's just my opinion.

grieve the loss of every soldier. his mother father brothers and wife will forever grieve as was. grief that was compounded by the failing of his army. we have a duty to all families of our fallen soldiers give them the truth the best we know it's massive.
