a session in february two thousand and eight violated its territorial integrity the un's highest court in the hague said that there is no want to call which prevents declarations of sovereignty belgrade argues the court only focused on the declaration and said nothing about the legality of course as an independent state however the us and many countries have praised the ruling. says the decision sets a dangerous precedent and still wants bilateral talks between serbia and kosovo to resolve their differences journalist and historian knowledge says the court's decision is unjust. it's pretty much a death sentence for international law this is a textbook case of. clear violation of both the un resolution twelve forty four and all the accepted norms of international law. honestly was expecting a more nuanced decision along the lines of it was illegal but it doesn't matter.

quite honestly didn't expect the world court to take such a directly pro-american position to be perfectly honest kosovo is a much independent does manchukuo order vichy france was in world war two it's a puppet state it suffers from and democrat abuses of power is its government structure can be best described as a organized crime it is not a state in any way shape or form just because the us state department says it is a doesn't mean it is a case of course it was just a naked land grab and if it's allowed to stand and serbia itself may actually soon fall apart and disappear serbia as a country cannot afford to simply let this slide for the past twenty years there have been wars and conflicts in the balkans stemming from the collapse of yugoslavia and each time there was any sort of dispute the serbs turned out to be on the losing end and the principles that the so-called international community adopted along the way varied according to the needs of the moment there's no

principle here really that can consistently apply over the past twenty years except the serbs always lose and that's clearly not a principle you can build a policy on well meanwhile foreign affairs editor at serbian state television the boy in the book it says the next step is for the grades to bring the issue of course for up at the un general assembly. it will be the decision of the general assembly that will change more things than this ruling which isn't unimportant but it says less than we thought it would cost of. deciding about their own lives and it is their free will i'm not the spokes person of the government government but what i've heard from from our government seems to me as if serbia does not want to rule over. and decide about their lives it only wants a minimum of sovereignty over the territory recognize the sovereignty does not imply serbian right to actually run the daily lives of course of all binion's and

serbia head in the past several different proposals on how to resolve this all of which were very quickly rejected by the big powers except for four for russia and china and there wasn't much room for for serbia to cooperate or and you go see. the us federal government has brought in that lawsuit against a good immigration bill in arizona it says the law that set to come into force next week would violate the rights of immigrants and lead to racial profiling and new measures would give the police the power to stop anyone they suspect of having entered the u.s. illegally human rights activist reverend green and radio host attorney katz crashed on the issue in northeast washington studio. every conversation about the law not being humane is a red herring it should not be discussed it's an embarrassment as b ten seventy is

federal law and all the state of arizona is doing is making sure that that federal law is enforced and the answer to start with is to seal the border to quite literally build the fence fifty feet high if need be and the full length of the border from san diego through texas those of us from the civil rights community we see a whole lot of racial issues that are really come to play in terms of the arizona law that this law is basically going to allow for racial profiling and therefore discriminatory it is true you don't live on the same hours of driving that i you don't live on a slide you do not live on the same china tracks that i live on maybe you live in a privileged situation but the reality is that my god i hate it's. time for because they're in the wrong neighborhood people are stopped all the time because they look at different way the rotting away in terms of the eyes of law enforcement and that's reasonable cause to stop somebody on it and unfortunately it sets up a situation for racial profiling and when we look at someplace like does not

arizona has created a law that is basically screwed discriminatory in its nature and happens i didn't create a law and making a two tier citizenship system mr cafferty jump in you're absolutely not first of all let's be clear reverend they are not citizens they are legal invaders they do not have like an apology given i have to show the united states because they look a certain way they may be citizens but they look a certain way that's the nature of racial profiling the reality is the law is racist the law sets up a dynamic to attack a certain segment of the population and to attack them with absolutely not. yes a heated debate there indeed well just to remind you we've got plenty more in our website that's our team book club as head of the just some of the stories online right now twitter revolution. of the scorching heat rush the word rain and some really big hits i'm looking at. and one of the

more progress will be made in treating aids scientists were more open to other data and views on the disease. i think their calls are being listened to but that actually the direction in which the science is going is misplaced and that's why people are angry. for many years i've reported on this subject i started writing about it twenty five years ago and held the conventional view that if aids was caused by a new virus when that was first. put forward in the 1980's but over the years i've come to the conclusion that scientists who've been challenging that idea who say that hiv has never been proven in. a specific entity and therefore the tests that claim to diagnose infection are faulty i think they've got a very strong point and that's why after all these years we're still seeing such dissatisfaction with the efforts of the scientific community it's not that they're

not trying but they're there misdirected their efforts now with people heading to beaches for summer summer sun the seedier side of one black sea resort in ukraine is being exposed but this has become a thriving hub for the sex slave industry as a strategic port it's that cation makes it a hotspot for human trafficking between the region and other countries. reports. it is fun in the sun in the crane in port city offer desa hundreds of thousands come here during the height to season. but for this woman from central africa it became a living nightmare with her identity concealed she told us how she was turned into a sex life. i met a man who told me he'd marry me and take care of me he brought me here then he locked me in a hotel room some men came every day and raped me sometimes there were three of them one later the man said he'd sell me to turkey but i managed to find help.

she managed to escape from the man who had in slave time now she lives in the dust under the protection program but many young girls here are not as lucky every day ships bring thousands of tourists in and out of but for many of this harbor becomes a point of no return as many sex slaves are being shipped from here to other countries turkey italy united arab emirates these are some of the most popular destinations for the sex slave trade and it does so with its strategic port serves as the market place police talk of fifty cases solved over the last two years but in reality the number of victims from all across the c.i.s. which are being brought here could be a thousand times higher and fighting organized sex trade gangs is very difficult because it's thought some are highly connected with the authorities in foreign sex

trade workers use local men to find girls from deprived regions who are struggling to make a living so they're easy prey but if these men offer them a new life they promise them jobs abroad in hotels and restaurants but eventually they end up as sex slaves and are stripped of their passports. this organization called faith hope love helps sex trade victims to rehabilitate from their terrifying past in five years they have offered assistance to more than a thousand women it's still pretty had it is impossible to keep track of how many sex slaves are out there as most of them are simply afraid to call for help both social workers and authorities admit in the last several years a densa sex trade has slightly diminished but they say while ukraine's economy is in tatters the sex industry will remain as one of the most burning problems for this resort city regardless of the season. see reporting from address

afford the money it costs to go there and look out but we can deliver babies and do blood tests but we don't have an x.-ray machine so that the patient has to go to the medical center in the city if there's an emergency we have a standby board that we can use to transport the patients. getting access to health . is never easy and more so during the monsoon when the river probable drought covers much of the land by delivering health care to the doorstep of villagers the book printing could well mean the difference between life and it got and seeing r g on the river brahmaputra. some other stories from around the world this hour but as whaler has broken diplomatic relations of colombia after bogota accused hugo chavez like harboring leftist guerrillas the venezuelan president has given colombian ambassadors three days to leave the country who's over the military to be on high alert and says the neighboring leader could draw between the two nations the

worst drought in years with more on the info from our teaser tom barton in moscow tom just how bad are the problems caused by this relentless heat. it is a massive heat wave carry it's been going on for most of july now it's expected to hit thirty seven degrees in the moscow reached today everyone has seen these temperatures again and again over the past month for records have been broken so far so four times already in july it's hit the highest ever temperature recorded for that day and slowly but surely russia is wilting in the heat as you said three hundred people have already drowned in various different circumstances trying to cool off by going swimming that's according to the russian emergencies ministry a twenty six russian regions now have to clear the state of emergency the drought is so weak crops are literally just drying out and dropping their seeds on the ground thousands of millions of tons of grain are going to be lost this harvest and

farmers are just watching their crops dry out in the fields unable to do anything that that does another effect of the of the heat it's also the case that a thousand fires have been recorded breaking out all over russia the forest for floors are becoming so hot they're almost like kindling and any spark or forest fires all over russia so slowly but surely if this heat continues the problem is it's going to get worse and worse tom unprecedented temperatures there is as you say how are people the general public coping with all this. well we're all over russia here in moscow doctors have given advice don't go out unless you have to between midday and four pm that's when the the sun is strongest i suppose i like myself my dogs and englishmen out in the midday sun i'm here porting but if you if you can avoid it don't go out it's very hot and keep trying to drink water two

liters a day if you're out in the sun you will d. hydrate so the doctors so do keep drinking water some people have chosen other methods to try and escape from the heat my colleague peter all of them put together a report covering just that subject. when temperatures soar everyone has to find their own way to keep cool in the sweltering city summer two brothers in moscow have come up with a plan to beat the heat as well as make a bit of cash on the side and the tolly and boris rent out their apartment in the summer months and set up camp on a small island in a state one kilometer outside of the city center a camp here in one nine hundred sixty s. when i was in my second year at school we came here in a car and we saw the place was vacant we bought a boat right away and brought it here to paradise there's good fishing under you it might seem like a strange choice but it's all perfectly legal anyone can pitch their tent and start their own camp as long as they have base certain rules it's not the deluded our

chief concern is to avoid harming nature these people are clean and tidy and don't harm nature but if other people come pitch a tent and start throwing rubbish around they'll have to face punishment. as far as ways to beat the heat goes on the telly and boris have certainly adopted a fairly novel approach but the spike robinson crusoe esque existence they still can't live without some of the creature comforts they go hand in hand with city living must not use when we have to t.v. sets two radios and a notebook but no internet and my house is in moscow a six minute ride from here the retired pair have just about all they could need on their thirty meter wide island getaway and if there's anything they want it's only a short trip to the nearest shop once they've taken the boat right to shore of course heading for some alfresco sleep isn't a new thing for muscovites in the past before the invention of air conditioning many people would sleep in the courtyards of apartment buildings to try and get some rest by from the times oppressive heat not many would be willing to go to the

same length as boston on the tolly but with temperatures still around the thirty's more people would be looking for ways to stay cool this summer peacher all of the party. if indeed they are stephanie joins us now with all the latest from the business desk. hello and welcome to the business bulletin exams for european banks are nearly over there was out to stress tests on one thousand one financial institutions will be released on friday they should tell the world whether the banks are ready to withstand a renewed economic downturn and a potential debt default by a country but the real question is whether the regulators have set the bar high enough to actually test week banks tatiana reports. if too many banks passed the tast it means the test failed that's a widespread suspicion about their settlement of europe's biggest lenders the banks have been asked to estimate how much additional capital they would need under two

scenarios namely if the economic situation were to deteriorate for two years and it's an area with an additional sovereign shock but analysts question just how realistic the task can be it's very difficult to say partly because we don't know what the so-called adverse scenario is that will be considered all just yet we know that there will be considering a mild recession as as perhaps a worst case scenario which which incidentally which i don't think is the worst case scenario. but we don't know how how greater probability they're going to assign to the risk of sovereign default and so what they do on that front would determine the results. the long awaited results will be released late friday after the european bourses closed for the weekend which is meant to avoid a panic on the reds in the us markets but some analysts believe the caution is

excessive there's been a number of officials coming out over recent days suggesting that. the banks and respective countries seem to be good shape in that they're going to pass. these stress tests there's been a couple of banks saying that they could possibly fail but perhaps the market already had a good feeling for this those type of failure candidates i think really perhaps is going to line up to be somewhat of a nonevent expectations are the major banks will pass and the biggest problems will be found and the smallest players which in many cases are not listed and once it's revealed which banks are in need of more capital it's still not clear what happens next that's several conscious have been funds that might be able to be drawn upon the business our team. but now it's time to have a quick look at how the equity markets are performing in asia stocks finished high on friday lifted by financials resources and exporters tokyo's nikkei and that

a five day losing streak to gain over two percent its biggest one they've sent a choice in more than a week short covering that support as did optimism ahead of the results from the european bank stress test in hong kong the hang seng has closed a point one percent in the black. and european shares a mixed in a cautious trading session on friday planck's a week ahead of there were nice of stress test results and it seems that many market players are sticking on the sidelines standard chartered is shedding of one and a half percent on the footsie. and here in moscow the markets are higher so what is proving to be a choppy trading day so far banks continue to weigh on the my sex is the worst performing beach if they're shutting point six percent of other main game this both edging more than half a percent higher. staying with the russians our producers have come in for fierce criticism from the government for their pricing policies consumers such as car makers have been struggling to stop long term contracts with surprise at what they
