investigation is now under way russian authorities maintain that the greenpeace international ship had ignored many warnings including one that said not to enter the restricted northern sea route that russia patrols and that 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 to date 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 while greenpeace say clearly. and.

during this conference you know 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 was long nails boil platform in the pitch or a sea but the greenpeace believes that despite it what will they say that it what their intentions were peaceful. and and they they believe that despite the massive funding of the project there not enough is being done to protect the environment and they say that nobody should be drilling there and while we are closely following the greenpeace court hearing in mormons kiran are you know of course becoming you updated on all the developments throughout the day here on r.t. . now thousands of people have throng the streets of athens in

to death last week by an alleged supporter of the far right golden dawn party allegations the group firmly denies. are still a p.c. as a young man was known may not have been the first to die at the hands of greek neo nazi groups but he was the first non migrant golden dawn has also been said to be targeting anarchists and communists renewing political tensions between the extreme left right and the greek government they have acquired the fear of big races they have collaborated with the nazis maybe. they have have blood on their hands this is why we say with this government with the golden dome the group is trying to keep a low profile in the wake of the killing and wouldn't speak to us on camera this man however was keen to talk george says he's one of the group's oldest members and he blames journalists for giving golden dawn a bad rep is the only party that has spent poor people and desperate greeks who are

suffering in the crisis we're not extremists and we aren't against anyone yet georges also wanted to make sure i noticed people in the neighborhood he claimed this man was an egyptian immigrant who lived on handouts at the expense of greeks like himself as for the nazi symbolism the fascist salutes that the group has been known for all a misunderstanding he says it's once wrong with this there's nothing wrong with a salute just a way of saying hello i did myself it's a greeting that still terrifies this greek resident he believes that golden dawn was to blame for his recent assault but he also points to another factor behind the growing divisions and the violence economy a crisis i didn't used to be afraid but agrees has changed everyone is suffering financially and some are looking to blame others immigrants an easy target. despite the public shows about anger against it golden dawn it is greece's third largest party and at least until now its fastest growing political force it gained ground

against a backdrop of unrest linked to the economic crisis and a country burdened by debt soaring unemployment and deep cuts to social spending oh it's the. 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 dome is how 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 doing kicks out immigrants who are squatting illegally . doing and forces peace and of course who 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 that the writing is on the wall in this neighborhood it literally is in the red it

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 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 sergei lavrov pointed out u.s. double standards when it comes to dealing with rebel forces and the conflict in

syria is that we agree that there are reasons on the who would be playing a good double standard. you know some some of the beaches or because he's over some of the speech 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. meanwhile united nations spent inspectors arrived back in syria on wednesday to continue their probe into the use of chemical weapons there and they'll be further investigating cases of alleged chemical attacks after reports presented by the team earlier this month confirm that sarin gas was used last month three four did not specify who was behind the attack but america and its allies blame the syrian regime political analyst sean in the wanni believes the information presented by the inspectors is inconsistent. in the human found playing

for instance their inconsistency is with with the same terms. by for victims and survivors that are not atypical and not our conventional understanding of what occurs in a 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 within both the labs there could be false positives the u.n. now as a result of all these holes in its original report needs to then address these and ensure for itself that it has the proper access and time to investigate other areas of alleged chemical weapons attacks meanwhile homage to britain gordon who is

a former commander of the british military chemical to fans regiment disagrees with the criticism of the un report it is true to say that sarin it is pure form wasn't far and in that. place however. which is a degradation products of sarin was found consistently throughout that area i think the other thing that is important to say is that the rocketry was not discussed and allies as it was in the two other locations which. was to the sarin and that being the case are i'm sure that that would have been it but i also agree with the russian. side is not the published and i don't know that pieces so we need do you see the whole picture of i think generally u.n. report was conducted in the right way and he's very conclusive that sarin was used but it doesn't blame and that's something that that really needs to be done as well . iranian president hassan rouhani says he is ready to conclude talks on the

country's nuclear program in as little as three months time a 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 experts of a thaw in the relations during his address to the u.n. general assembly on wednesday iran's president said he's open for dialogue on it calling on the u.s. to play a key role in the process he stressed there was no place for nuclear weapons in iran security analyst kelly have received obvious says change into iran stone presents a unique opportunity to resolve the situation. he. the process whereby he has received you know a popular mandate as a result of the lections. premier there and so on in order to negotiate on the nuclear standoff and the you know you said that

likes here chefs here reports there are doubts the former soviet republic will really benefit from the deal. so. that's some way to introduce oneself not only did the new u.s. ambassador to ukraine congratulate ukrainians on their independence day in their language but he also made his embassy employees sing a traditional song. to bring more sweet music to ukrainian ears mr piet said the country's european integration will be his priority as will ensuring in these a passage for american oil and gas giants into its markets exxon mobil and chevron the two companies interested in cooperation with ukraine they will bring american technologies know how money into ukraine it will be good for the country and will help it become energy independent. mr baez certainly knew what strings to pull 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 reserves came up 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 the country actually win by letting foreign companies handle their resources enormous the administration of ukraine's western event of course krege and said no to chevron's shale gas operations on their soil believing the company would simply rob them. under current conditions in 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 lot 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 would be possible to extract it up 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 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. the looks of ski oxy reporting from the

a map doesn't affect the wisdom of a punitive strike meant to uphold international norms against the use of chemical weapons and often disasters draw our attention to places we'd never heard of before like pearl harbor or columbine or syria but let's look at this where i don't exactly know where persons kidneys are or how exactly they work so by all normal logic that means i'm not qualified to have an opinion about whether we should remove john doe's kidneys my opinion doesn't count because i am kidney ignorant so if you know so little about syria. that you can't even find it on a map then you are more likely to believe from a guy in a suit on t.v. that there must be an intervention to save the people there you have no idea who they are or why they are suffering or how to save them but gosh started that intervention sounds nice knowing at least where a country is on the map as the first step in building and informed opinion but that's just my opinion.
