as the investigation continues security forces already say they know who is behind this attack for more joy in just a few seconds. also this hour reminder of a painful truth a marquee american has memories into his own skin as the owner's victims from both countries killed in the seven year iraq campaign. and we investigate whether pharmaceutical companies are cashing in on aids patients while scientists from around the world put the disease under scrutiny in vienna. good to have you with us live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day two security guards have been killed in an attack on a hydroelectric power plant in russia's southern republic of carbon in the balcony

or two generators were put out of action when several bombs were set off inside the station. is at the same. this is the hydroelectric plant main gate so it all actually started here police say that a group of unidentified gunmen broke through these gates having killed two policemen who were actually sitting here after that they proceeded through the to the administration building which you can probably see behind me allegedly the gunman tired of this stuff and started to torture them with knives trying to fly in the control switches police say that after about the gunmen pulled the generator room when detonated the bombs destroyed two generators out of three the one which you can probably see behind me. survived later when security and police arrived at the scene they found an explosive device and defused did now the plant is still blocked police forensic team and the gators are still working on the ground

searching every inch of the area looking for evidence about who might be behind the attack despite the explosions paralyzing the plant the region's promised supply wasn't affected in the meantime security has been increased on all the hydroelectric plants across the russians north caucasus region following that attack. an ocean is following the investigation in moscow and brings us now the latest. the initial investigation has classified what happened at the bus hydroelectric power plant and rushed about in about par in north caucasus as a terror attack but later on they rejected this version saying that was sabotage and a criminal investigation has been launched on the following articles sabotage first illegal arms for adoption and possessing stealing weapons and attacking law enforcement officers although terror has been the least of the articles. later

national and to terror community has confirmed it has been carried out by militants hold public office about in the book already there is saying that all the people being involved in this attack those who have carried it out and knowledge of this attack have all been identified although officially no name has yet been given so far the russian media has already suggested that amir abdul ought to be behind this attack this man is known as the leader all worked out in about caring militants he became number one in the republic just a while ago and since then no the number of deadly incidents in the republicans well as in the region as a whole has increased dramatically and analysts say that now they smash and is trying to gain some popularity and to get some respect from militants and most likely the main message the main goal of this particular recent attack on the plunging debatable car was to attract their attention and to show to demonstrate how powerful is here and to demonstrate to strengthen his position as the

leader of the militants in the republic with as mentioned the investigation is see you undergoing that is to be confirmed exactly who is behind this attack who is going to. be regularly carrying out anti terror training in russian regions this is necessary to ensure the two cities work together even the time congress time we have questions for the money to use of the plant security and the real. serious gaunt investigation we'll show you whether this facility was welcome to. russia's most wanted terrorist still call moderate has been repeatedly threatening attacks on the country's infrastructure and looking at this recent attack on the plans uncomfortable career which you say bad things could be the first abba successful attack on the country's infrastructure let's not listen to what the analysts say it

seems to me that the it can be very dangerous slowing of for the swedish truth a crime of guerrilla swore where not only representatives of food which is huge and the prices. are becoming targets for their obviously amply it's much more complicated to. drive from them it's time to rethink and to revise the whole corn syrup to deal with more than pork and since the thing could go through moved. through it social political economic modernization of the region we have to admit that the terrorist threat coming out from this particular part of the country remains rather high with reports about the incidence of deadly incidents happening in the region almost daily in the southern republics of the gestalt. of it in about the area witnessed frequent attacks on local officials and politicians suicide bombings targeting law enforcement bodies

have become a rather common theme there and the last thing about this region is that it is known as home to many so-called terrorist schools where the militants are being trained padda been trained to carry out terror attacks not only within the regime but also outside of russia sources of a much concern about that it's trying a number of measures to stop violence escalation in the region but as far as we are still reporting information like this recent about this recent attack we can admit that these measures are maybe not enough. auntie's more efficient reporting from. the us is still spending billions each month on its operations in iraq but these days it seems little attention at home now a growing number of americans are accusing the media of burying the war and giving its victims the recognition they deserve reporting the man for whom the issue is literally getting under his skin. the setting

in. a roll call of names more here a painful scar for each one hundred thousand dots represent iraqis casualty of war and it had to drawing attention to them. in a very difficult situation. the two can trees or belong to their war aggression. from one country to the motherland tree and of course there is a huge amount of anger anger that will fall as channeled into art in march the rocky american turned his back into canvas for an ongoing project called and counting. observers watch as the law is scored with a borderless map of iraq surrounding the cities dots representing the deaths of

iraqi civilians and american soldiers dots only seen under a black light and the reason. that invisible things is to call at times to how they are is gone and marked by death count which includes his younger brother. how old was your. think that was before he about twenty maybe before he. was two thousand and four in belongs hometown city of haji and fellow. iraqi civilians were demonstrating against u.s. occupation when a u.s. predator drone dropped a missile. to. use . but

last month the u.s. media did temporarily turn their attention to the other war and the scandalous mudslinging politics surrounding let's let's stick with stanley mcchrystal for a moment he has apologized for the comments that he made general mcchrystal has been ordered home to the white house to answer questions about his comments in this article in a rolling stone article in which america's top commander in afghanistan hopped likely ridiculed the obama administration before star general tended his resignation according to the pew research center mcchrystal drama filled twenty five percent of the u.s. mainstream news cycle how can the president let him get away with this the second most talked about story in june third was the rocky u.s. economy. while ironically the war costing america more than seven billion dollars each month. minimum coverage.

responsible for drawing a spotlight on party that run deep seven years and counting. r t. the us secretary of state says north korea will face new sanctions in the. atomic ambitions hillary clinton was speaking in south korea holding talks with defense officials said the freezing of assets. comes just days before a joint exercise aimed at the. north. but it was behind the sinking of a ship. well historian career expect jim hall says the new measures will affect north korea's population and are unlikely to have any impact on its leadership. the problem with sanctions in north korea's been sanctions of one sort or another on north korea since one nine hundred fifty fifty one since the outbreak of the korean war. they have not had much noticeable effect over the years.

measures with pain those measures that have been imposed since two thousand and six by the united nations following the two nuclear tests that north korea conducted the current sets of sanctions which are very similar to what she said today are aimed at goods and. in theory that means that the people aren't affected but if you reduce the amount of foreigners coming into the country the top leadership isn't going to carry that it will be ordinary people. oh and on the on screen twenty four hours a day we're online for twenty five days so you can check out any of all stories of don't call me. any time now his streaming russian police say could save a billion dollars a year just tackling the grid but the number of calls keeps growing. and also online money to spend usually makes people happy british women can. hold

coins those stories and plenty of other features of. an international aids conference in vienna may have been hearing about breakthroughs in treatment but it's also had plenty of arguments scientists unveiled a new. gel which health officials are calling for women but human rights activists say the key to curbing the disease is access to universal care a group of aids activists is a complaint with the against the united states becoming president obama's policies for a multinational pharmaceutical companies raising the cost. is one of those making the complaints. and fortunately the obama administration is continuing some bush policies that said in fact that they were going to threaten countries with trade sanctions for simply trying to make medicines more affordable to their people including in medicines what happens is that the obama administration and the bush

administration before them continue to threaten countries and what it does is it drives up the price of the drugs because unlike generic drugs brand name drugs cost thousands and thousands of dollars per patient per year if we restrict countries ability to make those generic drugs and make them available to their people especially if the ability to actually make those drugs which is ninety two percent of the drugs come from india if we're trying to push against them making generic versions of these drugs in order for drug companies to profit that's a violation of human rights we can in fact prevent and treats. and actually end aids if we work at it but we have to reach universal access to aids treatment and that means the prices of drugs have to come down so on the one hand we've got this administration huge supporters of pepfar and doing a lot on aids but on the other hand trying to restrict countries abilities to actually make those drugs affordable we have to reconcile those two policies and that was aids and human rights activist matthew cavanaugh talking to me. one of the

debate continues with peter developed to discuss the effectiveness of treatments for aids. there are companies tied to the violence there doesn't do anything with drugs ever deadly toxic ok that's where the real law there is he was forty years ago or for one purpose to cause to kill human cells for cancer chemotherapy and this is they have never ever cured one aids patient they even say that ok did you disagree do you disagree with that. of course i mean we have two million people die of hiv infection every year and these are not people who die of old age i can tell you that the average age of people who die in russia is thirty two years this is pretty ostracise. viruses are keeping people alive and people are staying and i think to administration of these products and we have now five billion people on the. virus and it's thanks to that that mortality has decreased

so much that people live a normal life. and you can watch crosstalk in just over an hour from now here. the former prime minister of kosovo is to be retried in the hague over alleged war crimes of the previous trial two years ago was abandoned due to a lack of evidence and whether the president of the yugoslav tribunal has since claimed witness intimidation was to blame but i do know is the most senior member of the cause of a liberation army to be indicted over the bloody war in the late ninety's political expert on the balkans we should get rid of the bitch things the ex prime minister has enjoyed protection from the hague while doing america's dirty work we need to accomplish this whole thing is taking place mr hardin i was the commander of the call for the liberation army and independence for army using purchased methods he was also supported by the united states and the during a particularly dirty work for them to enable them to bomb themselves into kosovo

and take control over the region will be quite clear the largest in the. littery base of the united states in europe has been built in kosovo since then so mr howard i deny clearly enjoyed protection at the hague and i don't regard the hague simply as a un impartial tribunal and then it is many people regard it as a washington tribunal there are now question is still quiet this is this retire list taking place well some of it is. really. was to feel like absolved of any guilt because as you said there's no evidence but the reason is essentially intimidation numerous people have been killed and costs a lot as a result of that i think they now want to show that some kind of justice in this election is why we're having the trial scene nineteen nato countries that upping the equivalent to a free hiroshima bombs in

a seventy eight days war of aggression against the then fair that republic of yugoslavia this is twisting things around and it is coming essentially come nato countries i don't think that serbia seeing as being guilty in russia or china at least two countries that still respect the child's sort of the united nations and a great many other countries especially nonaligned way but let's come back to this you have to bear in mind that many of the things of which mr hardee night has been accused of have taken place in cost civil when it was part of the federally public ok the slob and the. since then during the trial a number of this is a complete and one possibility is to show that now that this is a stake in place and that essentially nato occupation and on that it costs a lot ministration that they actually want to show that this is not all right. that was balkans political expert. from london talking. told us have

a look at some of the international news in brief remain you have got what i believe to be the bodies of the remaining dictator nicholai ceausescu and his wife and children want to confirm they were actually buried at the sport in bucharest officials took samples from the corpses before repairing the coffins. remaining for twenty five years before being executed in an anti communist revolt. the worst flooding in more than a decade has left at least seven hundred people in china dead so far this year millions of been evacuated from homes and more than three hundred still missing due to continue rainfall roads and rail lines from a lot to landslides officials say the rainy season will continue until the end of august at least. in france said traffic controllers are on strike protesting a plans to merge european aviation services are concerned that major job losses could follow flights are being counseled at the country's two main international airports shell the goal at the height of the holiday season industrial action is expected to last until thursday morning. and

attorney and author charlotte joins me now to talk about her current people first bush and the possible. that surrounds american presidents thank you very much for. that you have been on an on line campaign to prosecute george w. bush and members of his administration for what you call violation of international

law domestic law the constitution why have you not given up this because the administration of george w. bush was particularly. i don't think there's ever been a time in american history when we had the highest officials in government so flagrantly break the law and show no respect at all for the rule of law they just created laws just out of whole cloth. they created laws in secret behind closed. doors that were in them a cold to american democracy. and shameful to our international image some of those lost for instance redefined torture so that it made it ok for the c.i. a to brutalize prisoners and detainees. supposedly even doing it legally for instance allowing the waterboarding to be done legally

one in fact it is a violation of international law and u.s. law but it didn't matter provided that they did these laws in secret do you realistically with all due respect think you're going to be successful. i take the long view i think that to do nothing is a travesty because of the damage that's been done to our country and to our reputation around the world u.s. president barack obama has said several times this is an era of looking forward and not looking backwards barack obama said when he got elected he said it's not just up to me it's up to you so i'm taking him up on that challenge i realize that there are very powerful people who are telling him to move forward and not look backward because really what that's become is the code word for i will not prosecute but the fact of the matter is there was enough public pressure so that his own attorney general finally had to appoint

a special prosecutor last summer to look into some of the worst criminal alleged criminal behavior by cia interrogators not even i when i was running for attorney general insisting on the prosecution of bush did i realize that we would have a special prosecutor that soon afterwards in other countries a man who ordered nuclear bombing or oversaw the vietnam war would arguably be seen as a villain would essentially be taken to task why is it in the united states that presidents are never prosecuted the whole no. the president is accountable once he leaves office is new to the american people strangely enough one of the things i argue is that you can prosecute any president once he leaves office for a crime look at what happened with nixon he was pardoned if nixon our previous president had not been pardoned then he could have been prosecuted for the crimes

that he committed while in the white house but you know americans have a short term memory i'm sad to say and need to be reminded i would also say the role of the media. is a factor here that is the quote unquote mainstream media the corporate media. doesn't deal with this issue at all i have not been on one television show other than this one for instance and doesn't surprise me he recently wrote an article called the battle for justice heats up in which you say that the united states needs to look at argentina as an example and explain why because argentina has finally had its day in court so to speak at least the mothers of the disappeared the families of all those people who several decades ago lost their loved ones during a very brutal dictatorship and the last of the dictators has been sentenced to prison for the crimes that he committed during that period and that brings us hope

it shows once again that impunity will not stand and i frankly believe that bush cheney rumsfeld and the rest of them they're not they're not very comfortable about travelling about abroad because we have international law on our side and the doctrine of your star in the doctrine of universal jurisdiction so when it comes to committing war crimes war criminals have to watch their step this is just the beginning of a whole new hour and international law as far as i'm concerned. so moving forward how do you plan on rallying up the crowd we're calling it the accountability movement it was strongest right before obama got elected and it was comprised primarily of impeachment activists who had become very frustrated with their own party the democratic party which at every turn made it very clear that they did not

want to impeach and for whatever reason. that was suggested it kind of boiled down to political expediency first they wanted to win over control over congress in two thousand and four and then they wanted to two thousand and six and then they wanted to win the white house and well they did win the white house but there's still a lot of accounting for that has to go on and so the people who want from impeachment and never got their wish then want to prosecution because they really do feel that accountability is an important issue so you'll be hearing more from us very soon and we're going to be putting out a declaration on accountability we're going to break it down into all the different areas where there needs to be accountability whether it's a lector all we need media accountability political legal. environmental in other words we've got

a rise to the top look down at what's happening and more and more people are realizing that our country is just. going to to the birds and we've got to step forward because if we don't the right wing is. well i don't know what i'll do in that case i live close to canada on that. much for sitting down and speaking with me thank you. for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news maker. that started off. and lasted for almost a fantasy is to live two superpowers and. two
