a decision was made subsequently to detain the activists when they started climbing the platform using ropes and a grapples of course having carried out this protest greenpeace has drawn a lot of attention to their cause. some suggest they probably knew what to expect to be given multiple warnings but the activists went for the action anyway possibly knowing how much public attention it would generate and they did of course especially ahead of the arctic conference earlier this week where the leaders of arctic nations together with experts from oil industry were discussing ways to explore the resources in the arctic while trying to as they said to minimize the damage to the environment. greenpeace said clearly. and. during this conference the russian president was actually asked about the detained activist and he said greenpeace had clearly violated international law by sending activists from the ship in inflatable boats to try to board the pre put it but it

it's the vein that it's when your life changes totally like ours has in the past few years and when you lose your job and can't provide for your family you grab whatever helping hand you can get and golden dawn has helped as we'll fight to the end. spiros a shop owner who's had to shut down one of his stores because of the recession blames the influx of immigrants for straining scarce resources and he says golden dawn keeps order in his neighborhood when the government fails. we don't want to use violence but when golden dawn kicks out immigrants who are squatting illegally . and forces peace and order of course to support them as a government does nothing. the financial crisis has done more than simply cripple greece's economy it's changing society too when asked to describe how local say the writing is on the wall in this neighborhood it literally is in the red it says out what foreigners signed golden dawn in the black out of fashion the arcus logo it's

6:11 am
problems is not the violence and war stories i have read here in order to including the olympic space with an historic mission ahead of them the new crew of the international space station docks with the orbiting platform find out more in just a few minutes here in our team. debates on a u.n. security council resolution to rid syria of its chemical weapons are still going 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 mask is if it fails to comply with a plan and he's now reports 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 text requiring syria to dismantle its chemical weapons stockpiles is in fact likely by the end of this week now the actual text of
6:12 am
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 is that we agree the terrorism is on the food we would be playing good double standard when you know some some of the beaches are because he is osama's a beach it seems the big question is will we see
6:13 am
a major step forward in progress on syria stalemate and now it's looking like it could be a real possibility. meanwhile united nations inspectors arrive back in syria on wednesday to continue their probe into the use of chemical weapons there they will be further investigating cases of alleged chemical attacks after a fourth presented by the team earlier this month confirmed that sarin gas was used last month the record did not specify who was behind the attack and why america and its allies blame the syrian regime little analysts sharmeen or want to believe the information presented by the inspectors is inconsistent. in the human sampling for instance or in consistencies with with symptoms. by from victims and survivors that are not a typical 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
6:14 am
the west allude to the town of mud damiano where the human sampling showed almost one hundred percent positive there are no samples taken by the u.n. team that show seren there are a few samples taken that show degradation of sarin but even these are not consistent in within both the labs there could be false positives the un now as a result of all these holes in its original report needs to then address these and ensure for itself that it has a proper access and time to investigate other areas of alleged chemical weapons attacks meanwhile managed to broaden gordon who's a former commander of the british military as chemical to fans regimen disagrees with the criticism of the un report. it is true to say that sarin in its pure form wasn't far and in that. place however. you know which is a very gracious products of sarin was found consistently throughout that area i
6:15 am
think the other thing that is important to say is that the rocketry was not discovered and analyze as it was in the two other locations which. was due to sarin and that being the case are i'm sure that that would have been no but i also agree with the russian. side has not been published and another bit in pieces so we did see the whole picture but i think generally the u.n. report was conducted in the right way and he's very conclusive that sarin was used but it doesn't caution blame and that's something that really needs to be done so well iranian president hassan rouhani says he's ready to conclude talks on the country's nuclear program in as little as three months time and meeting between tehran 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 prompting expectations of saw in their relations during his address to the u.n.

6:24 am
whether it will be possible to extract it yet everyone makes such a big deal of it it's like looking at hand which hasn't been caught not even knowing if that actually exists even the most optimistic forecasts 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. reporting from kiev ukraine now look at some other stories from around the world so starting with the sudan violent clashes sparked by the lifting of fuel subsidies have left at least twenty nine people dead and eighty wounded in the capital hard to violence erupted when police resorted to force in an attempt to disperse crowds also gathered in the streets in anger over recent hysteria measures sudan's economy has been struggling since while producing south sudan again in
