the plant is still blocked police forensic team and gaiters 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 promise 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. and while have no terrorist organizations have admitted responsibility investigators say they already know who is behind the explosions auntie's marie if you notion is following developments for us in moscow. the initial investigation has classified what happened at the bus hydroelectric power plant in russia's going to north korea north caucasus as terror attack but later on they rejected this version saying that was sabotage and a criminal investigation has been launched on the following articles so the taj

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 all other public or private in the book already saying that all the people being involved in this attack those who carried it out and the economics of this attack have all been identified although officially no name has yet been given so far all 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 a boat carrying 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 with a smile and is trying to gain some popularity and to get some respect from. the 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 undergo another is to be confirmed exactly who is behind this attack. which we regularly carry out anti terror training in russian regions this is necessary to issue these work together if you turn congolese turn we have questions for the managers of the plant about security and the real. garth's investigation will show you whether this facility was welcome to. russia's most wanted terrorist or call moderate has been repeatedly threatening attacks on other country's infrastructure and looking at this recent attack on the plant uncomfortable career

would you say that this could be the first abba successful attack on the country's infrastructure let's not listen to what the analysts are saying it seems to me there can be very dangerous flying of for the swedish. kronor of guerrillas war where not only representatives of food for which is huge and the prices. are becoming targets for their obviously the it's much more complicated to. drive from there it's time to think it. through. to a social political economic modernization of the region but we have to admit that the terrorist threat coming out from this particular part of the country remains rather high with reports about the incident deadly incidents happening in the region almost daily of russian soldiers of it was concerned about. troy

a number of measures to stop violence escalation in the region but as far as we still reporting information like this recent about this recent attack we can admits that these measures are maybe not enough. of his maria for notion of reporting there from moscow. and they want him are going to his brother was killed in iraq he's turning his back into a giant tattoo to remember all those who have died since the u.s. led occupation began in two thousand and three and he told us he's marine a fortnight his bodyguard protest is to raise awareness of the conflict he believes has been forgotten by the american media. thing. a roll call of names or a painful scar for each one hundred thousand dots represent the iraqis casualty of war and it had to drawing attention to that i live in

a very difficult situation i live. to can trees i belong to they're at war aggression. from one country to the motherland control and of course there is a huge amount of anger anger that will fall below all has 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 to have it in. an invisible thing is to call attention to how. there is gone and

marked a death count which includes his younger brother. how old is your friend. think that was before he about twenty maybe before he died. it was two thousand and four in the laws hometown city of kufa podgy and fellow iraqi civilians were demonstrating against u.s. occupation when a u.s. predator drone dropped a missile i felt compelled to engage people in some. art to be to use raise awareness about what is going on since the media is not paying any attention. but last month the u.s. media did temporarily turn their attention toward the other war and the scandalous mudslinging politics surrounding let's let's stick with spelling of course well 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 publicly ridiculed the obama administration before star general tendered 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 yielded minimum coverage. leaving those like responsible for drawing a spotlight on scars of heartache that run deep seven years and counting. r.t. new york. us president barack obama has signed a sweeping new measures to clean up wall street into. getting new powers to

regulate mortgages and lows trances control of struggling banks to prevent future financial chaos economist mike norman been a use the new no means big changes for america's financial landscape. is it strong enough to prevent a future collapse that's a good question i'll just say this if bad policy isn't acted then there's always the possibility that we could have a future future collapse and in fact thinking back on the collapse that we've just been through much of that was avoidable if policymakers had acted in the correct fashion at the time that it was starting to unfold so there's always the possibility but i think there are some good things in this bill we'll just have to see and it's going to take a while perhaps a year for all the rules and regulations to be hammered out by the rule makers and the regulators and there's still that gives wall street some time in there to still maneuver and try to lobby to get what they desire but i think we will see

a change in the landscape on wall street and hopefully it'll damp down some of the speculation that has been really turning our economy into sort of a casino economy and wall street could get back to the job that historically has always been involved in which is raising capital for companies. and for more on all the stories we're covering always a website to talk home on his it's not a wall to life right now russia's traffic police say over a billion dollars a year could be saved if traffic jams a humble promptly but with only enough parking places for such a percent of the calls it's a huge challenge to fix. the british woman suffering from having cash on hand something which doesn't trouble everybody find out why she comes even hold no that's according to you don't call. the yugoslav war crimes tribunal in the hague has ordered a retrial for former kosovo prime minister. over murder and torture charges against

so it's ruled that witnesses at his original trial had been intimidated. denies previous trial two years ago was abandoned due to lack of evidence but the tribunal has now ruled that witnesses in to see it would imagine i don't want a senior member or because of a liberation only to be indicted over the bloody war in the late ninety's accused of war crimes against a political expert on the balkans mission of each things that before prime minister has enjoyed protection from the hague while steering america's dirty work. we need to see the context in which this whole thing is taking place mr hodder the night he was a commander of the costs of the liberation army and independence on the using terrorist methods and he was also supported by the united states and nato doing effectively dirty work for them to enable them to bomb themselves into cost of all

and take control of that region let's be quite clear the largest military base of the united states and europe has been built in castilla since then so mr howe to deny clearly enjoyed protection at the hague and i don't regard the hague simply as a un. you know i mean it is many people regard it as a washington tribunal there are now questions as to why this is this retiled is taking place well some of it is but the guy really. was if you like absolved of any guilt because as you say and no evidence but the reason is essentially intimidation numerous people have been killed in cost of sales of this i think they now want to show that some kind of justice exists and that is why we are having that trial i've seen nineteen nato countries developing the equivalent to a foot of hiroshima bombs in a seventy eight days war of aggression against the then federal republic of

yugoslavia this is twisting things around and it is coming essentially from nato countries i don't think that serbia seeing is being guilty in russia or china at least to countries that still respect the child 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 hodder the night has been accused of have taken place in cross civil when it was part of the federal the public ok the slob and the. since then during his trial and numbered up like the two since it's a complete and one facilities to show that now that this is a stake in place and that essentially nato occupation and on that it cost ministration that they actually want to show that this is not all right. international aids conference in vienna has been hearing about breakthroughs and treatment but there's also been divisions centered on access to treatment scientists have unveiled

a new. job claiming it was given to women but human rights very key to helping to visit universal access to care for suffering is a complaint has been launched against the u.s. that began at the nations on the hope of knowing. they claim that president obama's policies favor a multinational pharmaceutical companies and make treatment more expensive if you rejected by the white house. is one of the. 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 you know like 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 treat 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. that was aids and human rights activist matthew kavanagh. while the debate continues to think about. crosstalk guests who discuss the effectiveness of modern treatments for aids. companies tied to the vials that doesn't do anything with drugs ever

terribly toxic ok that's where developed there is the t. was to read of forty years ago all for one purpose to cause to kill human cells for cancer chemotherapy and the result is they have never ever cured one aids patient they even say that ok did i do 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 ostracism in the. viruses are keeping people alive and people are staying alive thanks 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 interest now even artie. washington will impose new sanctions on

north korea in the latest bid to halt its nuclear ambitions u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton made the announcement after talks with south korean defense officials and saw hillary clinton said the new measures would target north korea's all the sales and other ventures used to fund its atomic for show in recent days a joint you asked in south korean military exercise has been held to demonstrate to pyongyang readiness against any political at times the north denies accusations that it sank and not a south korean warship in march killing forty six historian and career expert jim moret believes the new sanctions will however hate north korea's people and is not its leadership. the problem with sanctions in north korea is that they have been sanctions of one sort or north korea since nineteen fifty fifty one since the korean war. they have not had much noticeable effect over the years new measures repeat those measures that have been imposed since two thousand and

six by the united nations. nuclear tests north korea conducted the current sets of sanctions which are very similar to what she said today. goods. means that the people aren't affected but if you reduce the amount of funds coming into the country the top leadership is and. it will be. to some other news stories across the globe the scientists in romania have signed out also are believed to be the borders of for my remaining dictator nicolaus and his wife their children want to confirm they were actually buried at the sport in budapest to her restaurant that officials took samples from the corpses before burying the coffins churches schools were money of a twenty five years before being executed anticommunist revolt. the worst flooding in more than a day. it has left over seven hundred dead and more than three hundred missing in

is taking on a big corporations and powerful american politicians that's in a moment here when us. attorney and author charlotte janet joins me now to talk about her current book the people first. bush and the possible aura of impunity that surrounds american

presidents thank you very much for sitting down to speak. mr that you have been on an on. campaign to prosecute george w. bush and members of his administration for what you call violations of international law domestic law the constitution why have you not given up on this because the administration of george w. bush was particularly lawless 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 laws 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 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 i 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. i realize it. there are very powerful people who are telling him to move forward and not look backward because really

what that's become of 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 notion of a 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 you 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 that 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 for and 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 went to prosecution because they really do feel that accountability is an important issue so you will 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 law we need media countability political legal. environmental in other words we have got to. rise to the top look down at what's happening and more and more people are realizing that our country is just. going to the to the birds and we've got to step forward because if we don't the right wing is and then well i don't know what i'll do in that case i live close to canada on that i noticed that they sound much for saying that in speaking with thank you. that started off to. the most susie is julie she

was. actually. the speech to congress on t.v. . every month we give you the future we hope you understand how we'll get there and bring the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join. please. this is all.
