Thousands of anti-austerity demonstrators gathered in Athens to protest against the visit of German Chancellor Angela Merkel - the woman they blame for much of their financial hardship. Police scuffled with protesters and fired teargas in response to demonstrators throwing stones and petrol bombs. Seven thousand police and security officers, including anti-terrorist units and rooftop snipers, were deployed to secure Merkel's safety. Streets in central Athens were closed and rallies prohibited in the town centre and near streets Merkel had to pass to reach Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's office. It was the first time since the end of the military junta in 1974 that a ban on street rallies was imposed in Greece. Three separate protests took place in front of the Greek parliament and workers were called out on a three-hour strike The economic crisis has rekindled anti-German sentiment that goes back to the Nazi occupation of Greece during the Second World War. Some demonstrators dressed up as Nazi officers, burned Third Reich flags and chanted slogans such as "No to the Fourth Reich". Public order minister Nikos Dendias called for calm. "I call on all Greeks and whoever wants to protest to, firstly, safeguard the peace of the city and, above all, the country's image abroad," he said.

In an effort to avoid a possible war Iran has agreed to take part in nuclear talks. This comes after tough sanctions imposed on Iran by the US and the West. Earlier in week during the AIPAC conference, President Obama said to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that diplomacy efforts should be given more time, and they have apparently worked.

www.euronews.com The Colombian government and Marxist rebels are set to hold peace talks in Norway aimed at ending nearly half a century of conflict. President Juan Manuel Santos has made the latest attempt to negotiate a deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas after recent criticism on security issues, although there have been improvements over the last decade helped by a US backed offensive against the rebels and drug barons. Before boarding the plane with the rest of his team in Bogota, the government's chief negotiator, Humberto de la Calle, said he was optimistic. "We don't believe in false expectations but I think the structural elements exist that will allow us to have hope, and hopefully we will have good news for Columbia." There was a reported conflict over the composition of the FARC delegation especially the inclusion of Dutch National, Tanja Nijmeijer. Interpol said Colombia had asked for the lifting of so-called "red-notices", much like arrest warrants, on several FARC members, but Colombia only controls its own notices and Nijmeijer is also wanted in the US so it could not be lifted. She is not therefore expected to attend the preliminary meetings in Norway but should be at the table when the talks move to Cuba shortly afterwards, where the focus is expected to be on land, drugs and political participation.

The week long pre-trial now has to determine whether to allow them to freely say in court what happened during their years in custody.

For downloads and more info visit: www.journeyman.tv This powerful exclusive is the first film to access the Free Syrian Army's secret labyrinth of caves and also holds a rare interview with the FSA leader. A fascinating insight to how the battle for Syria is being fought. "Please don't film!" one fighter says, as two rebels argue in the pitch black over the presence of a journalist. In this increasingly violent war the rebels have been using their local knowledge to great advantage. And these 3000 year old caves are of huge strategic importance. "The army besieged us many times and we always slipped through." But local knowledge will only go so far and the rebels are hard pressed to counter the might of the Syrian army with limited resources. As one failed test run of a home-made mortar shows, they don't have much to work with. They are disheartened by months of fighting without help. "America and Europe hide behind the Russian veto. They lie to us." Even the head of the Free Syrian Army, Colonel Riad al-Assad, is unable to help. As rebel groups come to him for guidance he can only encourage coordination. When asked about the suicide bomb that killed the minister of defence he says, "This is an integral part of the revolutionary action. It could break the regime's back." As things get increasingly desperate, anything that hastens the end of the bloodshed in Syria will form a part of their strategy. SBS

www.euronews.com Economic concerns are dominating the latest EU summit in Brussels, but some commentators, analysts and politicians are looking beyond headline issues, such as banking union, for other ways to solve the crisis. "Political union can not wait and it will be necessary to do this, otherwise the crisis will continue. I don't think this crisis can be overcome only by monetary means, that is, intervention from the European Central Bank," MEP and Liberal leader Guy Verhofstadt told euronews. As governments in Spain, Greece and Portugal try to slash their budgets and reduce their deficits further, some, like Sony Kapoor of Re-Define Think Tank, are questioning if this focus on the fiscal is working. "The IMF has just recently highlighted, austerity is pushing us in a downward spiral, and particularly with the social unrest enrupting in Greece once again, in Portugal now, and of course the big question of secessionist tendancies, for example Catalunia in Spain. "These are all starting to show that the social fabric, and the political fabric, even within the member states themselves, is starting to fray," said Kapoor. The British line is one of avoiding handing over more economic control or money to Brussels, especially at a time when the government continues to try to cut the deficit. The belt-tightening should begin with the EU itself, according to MEP from the UK's Conservative Party Martin Callanan: "We think that at a time of austerity across Europe when EU is <b>...</b>
