street violence police fired tear gas a furious crowds tried to storm the offices of the far right golden dawn party in the killing of an anti-racism musician. chemical compliance the u.n. security council inches closer to resolution on syria's toxic weapons but the use of force has been a stumbling block. and greenpeace protesters accused of piracy await their fate as a court herring kicks off in the russian port city of movements the activists earlier refused to give statements to investigators.

focusing live from moscow twenty four seven you're watching out. thousands of people have thrown the streets of athens in protest against the far right golden dawn party police fired tear gas and stun grenades are outraged demonstrators who threw petrol bombs and stones at the party's headquarters with the latest wave of anger over the murder of an anti fascist rock musician starved to death by a man who admitted to being a member of golden dawn or polls show that since the killing of. greece's the largest party has lost considerable public support this comes as no great surprise the level of racist violence has jumped significantly in crisis play greece let's have a look at her on the map you can see the number of racist attacks several years ago but today there are hardly any empty spots on the map of racists crime from

a discussion on a disturbing trend we're joined now by artist lucy craft of she's just returned from greece you see what are we seeing happening in greece right now hi there well you were just mentioning racist violence and actually the interesting thing about what's happening in greece now is that this is the first time this far right neo fascist group as it's been described to golden dawn actually targeted not a migrant or not a member of the minority of but as actually another greek a prominent hip hop are artist and an anti-fascist activist now basically this man was brutally stabbed to death in the early hours last wednesday morning and this has sparked outrage all across the country this is the first time we've really seen this group although it does officially deny any contact with with this killing in any sort of potential clashes between essentially greeks turning on the greeks what's interesting is that the golden dawn party has been sort of growing more popular in some ways and what it used to be known for targeting essentially

immigrants it really focused its attacks on that saying that greece's massive economic problems which we've been of course talk about for quite some time stems from the influx of immigrants who they allege are taking jobs and this is sort of the root cause. the economic on the rest but now we're seeing that perhaps these tensions are growing more political in the e.u. in general is on the growing economic times as we know and far right sentiment does seem to be on the rise in different countries in the e.u. why is this seem to be particularly prominent in greece where the difference with greece is that this group isn't just a fringe party that might do demonstrations or things like that this is the third largest political force in greece it's a party that has eight hundred seats out of the three hundred seats in parliament and it really has seen a rise in popular support correlated some would say with the economic crisis getting more intense now while it is it disavows these labels but it is sort of perceived by many as a. fascist group largely because of the symbolism it uses its logo is sort of

a play on the swastika they do sort of rather disturbing hand gestures at the rally as they sold themselves in the height of the economic crisis as an anti-establishment party and this sort of earned them a lot more new members new support greeks who were frankly desperate because of the economic situation who just want to see a different option and government whether or not this tragic murder is going to undermine that support remains to be seen as you mentioned those poll numbers have gotten down but of course it's a long hard road ahead for greece ok thanks very much indeed for that. leader of the youth wing of one of the trade unions that organized the road he says volunteers not the own so to austerity. want to stand by and declare that we're against racism and facing in our country there are the measures of force terry. we really have are some very rough times the greek people but

that doesn't mean everybody should be hurt we experience a lot of violence because of a crisis when there is poverty one people are facing. other for survivors as we understand it people who get in on that but the thing is that the solution to our problems is not the violence well the more stories ahead for you including the olympic space walk down historic mission ahead of you cruising the national space station docks with the orbiting platform but more than a few. debates on the u.n. security council resolution to rid syria of its chemical weapons are still ongoing but russia says an agreement could be reached in the coming days the main point of contention is including a reference to chapter seven of the u.n. charter that would allow the use of force against a must this if it fails to comply with the plan and it's on our way reports now

from new york. well it seems like russia and the u.s. are a bit closer to seeing eye to eye on the syria crisis russia's deputy foreign minister says an agreement on the u.n. security council resolution the tax requiring syria to dismantle its chemical weapons stockpiles is in fact likely by the end of this week now the actual text of the resolution will according to him include a reference to chapter seven of the u.n. charter which allows force but it should be stressed that there will be no automatic trigger for chapter seven measures and another resolution in fact would be needed if syria fails to comply the text of the resolution as many resolutions is usually a point of contention between russia and the u.s. russia always has a tend to have any kind of text which allows for military intervention in the u.s. more often pushing for blatant military intervention in an interview with the washington post foreign minister sergey lavrov pointed out u.s. double standards when it comes to dealing with rebel forces and the conflict in

syria it seems the big question is will we see a major step forward in progress on syria stalemate and now it's looking like it could be a real possibility. for me while united nations inspectors arrive back in syria on wednesday to continue their probe into the use of chemical weapons there will be further investigating cases of alleged chemical attacks or to reports presented by the team this month confirmed that song and gas was used last month report did not specify who was behind the attack but american its allies blame the syrian regime for political analyst mean the wanni believes the information presented by the inspectors is inconsistent to discuss the findings of the ewing team my colleague bill don't. in the human found playing for instance there are inconsistent things with with the same terms. by for victims and survivors that are

not atypical and not our conventional understanding of what occurs in the nerve gas exposure and some very stark ones in the environmental sampling it appears that in the west town of my dummy hour where the human sampling showed almost one hundred percent positive there are no samples taken by the u.n. team that show theron there are a few samples taken that show degradation of theron but even these are not consistent in live in both the labs there could be false positives the un now as a result of all these holes in its original report needs to address these and ensure for itself that it has the proper access and time to investigate other areas of alleged chemical weapons attacks i mean while a mr breckon gordon is a former commander of the british military is a chemical defense regiment disagrees with the criticism of the un report it is

true to say that sarin it is pure form wasn't thought and in that. place i would. say. yeah and you know which is a dirty gravitation so sorry. but i think the other thing that is important to say is that the rocketry was not discussed. as it was in the two other locations which positive the sarin and in the case are sure that that would have been but i also agree with the russian. scientists it's not the published and i don't that pieces so we need to see the whole picture of i think generally the un report was conducted in the right way and he's very conclusive that sarin was used but he doesn't blame and that's something that so that really needs to be done as well. iranian the president hassan rouhani says he's ready to conclude talks on the country's nuclear program and as little as three months time meeting between terry

ryan and five permanent security council members and germany is set to take place on thursday in new york iran's foreign minister and u.s. secretary of state john kerry will participate in the talks at the highest level meeting between rain and american officials and there were three decades during his address to the u.n. general assembly. iran's president said he's open for dialogue on an equal basis on the u.s. to play a key role in the process stressed there was no place for nuclear weapons in iran security. analyst for c.n.n. b. says the change in tehran tone presents a unique opportunity to resolve the situation. the process whereby he has received you know a popular mandate as a result of the elections as well as the green light from the supreme leader and so on in order to negotiate on the nuclear standoff and you know he said that lot of issues are on the table he is willing to negotiate without precondition and so on

so i think that you know there's a sense of optimism and in among the reigning in leadership. unique opportunity right now in order to cause a breakthrough in the nuclear deadlock courts in the port city of start of the hearing into the case of a greenpeace activists accused of piracy they were arrested after trying to scale an oil platform in protest against drilling in russian's arctic waters all of them have refused to give statements to investigators what is going to church account is following the hearing. investigators a russian prosecutor's office want the activists arrested so that they can go ahead with the investigation of the a sit in at the russian oil platform in the arctic the greenpeace activists were detained last week having ignored russian authorities warnings while trying to climb the the oil platform greenpeace says they acted in peaceful protest against a drilling in the arctic russian authorities believe whatever their intentions the

activist technically broke the law we know that the detained activists refused to. answer the questions of investigators invoking their rights to to remain silent under the russian constitution and not to testify against themselves under russian law prosecutors have to press charges within forty eight hours after detention or let them go when we as we're on an investigation is underway so we understand that they are pressing charges right now russian authorities maintain that the greenpeace international ship ignored many warnings including one that said not to enter the restricted northern sea route and that a decision was made to detain the activists when they started climbing the oil platform using ropes and grapples of course having carried out this protest greenpeace has drawn a lot of attention to their causes some argue that they may have actually been aware of the of the out called given all the warnings but they went for it anyway knowing about what an impact this would have on the discourse especially ahead of

the arctic conference this week and by the way the russian president was asked about the detained activists at that during that conference and he said that he believes that as you are from the border guards acted appropriately when detaining them but he chose not to take it that they should be charged as a pirate the leaders of arctic nations together with oil exports for oil industry were discussing ways to explore the resources in the arctic while trying to while saying that they will be trying to minimize the damage to the environment and greenpeace believes despite the massive funding of those projects not enough is being done to protect the environment and that in fact they believe that nobody should should be drilling there. and the courts in the russian city of my mask his the greenpeace case of these are live pictures in fact from the courtroom you can follow the transmission while he's video agency at roughly dr levy we'll keep you updated know that of course. plenty more just

language but he also made his embassy employees sing a traditional song. to bring more sweet music to ukrainian ears mr piatt said the country's european integration will be his priority as will ensuring an easy passage for american oil and gas giants into its market exxon mobil and chevron the two companies interested in cooperation with ukraine they will bring american technologies know how and money into ukraine it will be good for the country and will help it become energy independent. mr piet certainly knew what strings to pool as the energy issue has been one of the most intensely debated in ukraine which has long been unhappy with the prices of the gas advice from russia ukraine has been fighting for its energy independence since the nine hundred ninety s. and when the first stock of the country using its shale gas or is there are many breathed a sigh of relief but as the time passes by this optimism seems to be waning while

ukraine's energy minister was visibly happy with the shale gas initiatives once it's operational we will strive to fully meet our domestic energy needs and to even become an exporter some raised a sensible question would you country actually win by letting foreign companies handle their resources enormous the administration of ukraine's western ivanna from course krege and said no to chevron's shale gas operations on their soil leaving the company would simply rob them. under current conditions our region will not receive anything from these gas extraction this display of unease matters little though as energy experts expect gas corporations to lobby a law to let parliament issue such permissions instead of regional authorities and while ukraine's west is being defiant the east of the country has already given up recently key a finalist a ten billion dollar deal with shell for the exploration and extraction of shale gas

a former press officer for ukraine state gas company enough the gas says the issue has been turned into a major political power play. it's still unclear how much gas is there and whether it'll be possible to extract it yet everyone makes such a big deal of it it's like looking ahead which hasn't been caught not even knowing if that had actually exists even the most optimistic forecast suggest that ukraine would not start extracting its shale gas until the year twenty twenty that's if there is any gas at all but until then a question remains pretty much open with this lead to the country's much desired energy independence or simply do a change in who they're dependent on. alexy reshevsky r.t. reporting from kiev ukraine. well meanwhile ukraine has announced it wants to become an associate member of the e.u. and enter its free trade zone he expects an agreement in the very direct if occasion next year but financial expert patrick young thinks it's a precarious path of both ukraine and europe crane has somewhat of

a challenging business environment for those who say they're used to western european standards they don't really produce a lot that the european union is instantly rushing to buy even presuming that the european union hard economic growth and which really aggressively buying things in the first place given the fact that it has an incredibly significant russian minority population to simply turn its back on russia moreover as we know ukraine has had difficulty paying its gas bills and of course we all know that in the macro picture ukraine's economy is somewhat challenge in that respect ukraine needs to be very very careful in some degree is there treading on thin ice and certainly upset in russia seems to be somewhat trying to ensure to the recent history it's a very challenging thing to try and work out exactly what is the advantage to this deal for either party the european union the u.s. or trying to get ukraine over to their side but it's very difficult to see ultimately what can be the long term benefit for the people when the european union

has so many problems to sort itself. well some other international headlines for you now this hour starting in darwin where violent clashes sparked by the lifting fuel subsidies of left at least twenty nine people dead and eighty wounded in the capital khartoum violence erupted when police resorted to force in an attempt to disperse rallying crowds esther's had also gathered in the streets and anger over recent austerity measures the downs economy has been struggling since all producing south sudan gained independence in twenty eleven. number from a seven point seven magnitude earthquake in southwest pakistan has now passed three hundred forty equate struck in a remote mountainous area causing hundreds of houses to collapse thousands are forced to spend the night in the open air tremors were even felt hundreds of kilometers to the east indian capital of delhi.
