a people's right to determine their own identity at the same time giving our arguments more weight on the other hand when it's all politicized and we can be sure that if we went to the hague we would get a similar ruling we probably wouldn't in spite of the fact that we have more historical legal and moral grounds to demand independence than cost of a double standards do exist it's not a secret to anyone in any case people who object to our independence will now find it difficult to openly claim that we don't have the right to determine our own standing the. court has delayed its group accused of. crimes and so psychiatric testing carried out for the accused thirteen men are standing trial suspected of dozens of ethical motivated killings of terror plots and if convicted could face life in jail with dozens of people killed as a result of race hate crimes here. national policy is now critical. as

people hold about hiv and aids cherry stake hiv positive was amongst them after eleven years and eighty to the drug combination therapy she stopped taking the medication after coming across some of the alternative view is it's not that hiv slash aids is a myth aids obviously is not a myth that's a acronym for immune suppression well people become immune suppressed all over the world every day for all types of different reasons lots of things cause lower immunity and illness. whether h.i.b. has been proven to be a viable infectious virus that sexually transmitted i think is really the bigger question for me this use of polar opposites to some of the calls at the official conference so early a treatment a prevention we also pay out more drugs will then we have ever had before to treat atrazine and these drugs are more potent they're something more they're more

tolerable and they're very effective the cash opinions has led to harsh recriminations on both sides with those opposed to classical explanations labeling the conference an aids marketing fair and the description of an aids pandemic the p.r. success whilst in turn not agreeing with the mainstream hiv theory of aids has been compared to holocaust denial and cooled a crime against humanity a science that is alive has to have the permission to question a certain model of thinking a serious thinking no you don't bring in here a dying patient so that we have to act immediately and give him something we are discussing here we're scientists and medical doctors why should we not be able to discuss i'm very astonished at their reaction is. but the day themes we want to read those sites do bring on is the importance of human rights and interests in the issue the right to freedom of speech. the right to choose what

the capital kabul for the country's biggest international event in decades however britain and pakistan have already said that some international forces may remain beyond that date to train afghan police meeting also focused on reconstructing and developing the war torn country as well as fighting corruption in the drugs trade russia's foreign minister that is that moscow will continue to help. we're committed to supporting you in efforts on stabilizing afghanistan we will continue to allow transit of international cargo and personnel to afghanistan through our territory we're working on additional measures to cook afghan forces together with our partners we're also helping restore the afghan economy this year russia rolled off the remainder of ghana stands eight hundred ninety one million dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. u.s. drone attack killed at least sixteen suspected militants in northwest pakistan on

saturday officials say approximately five missiles were fired at insurgent compound in the border with afghanistan but the increased use of drones by u.s. forces in the region has also led to a surge in civilian deaths sparking international outrage. and reports. the come out of the blue i have two words for you predator drugs i you'll never see it coming a drone is ten times cheaper than a fighter jet it requires no pilot so there are no troop deaths to explain it's the perfect weapon for covered cia operations in countries like pakistan and afghanistan if things go wrong you can deny it all and things do go wrong studies by independent international experts suggest that for every militant killed as many as fifteen civilians also die there's no way of getting exact numbers the cia keeps

its drones program under wraps but the united nations and other international organizations question the legality of the extensive use of the weapon when you come to sort of undeclared war with organizations like al qaida or that ali baba and you go off the persians you say hey we suspect we say they are terrorists but who has proven that the first direction targeting terrorists but humanitarian concerns seem to be doing little to dampen surging international demand for groans also known as unmanned aerial vehicles or u.a.e. vs the military appetite is such that the market is expected to grow to a staggering fifty five billion dollars in ten years from now with the advances in technology they depersonalize warfare and so therefore you have people war willing to use them and you have people that don't understand the consequences because the people who are flying the drones are not on the battlefield they're not in the play

here in washington d.c. suburb but the are a drone operator wake up in the morning family goodbye come to the office and shoot at targets thousands of miles away from here and go back home and no risk will fall weather specialists say the whole operation reminds the b.t.o. get. the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient world of ours employed more and more in the future if war is cheap why not use a bit more especially against the smaller countries and organizations such not the case you would try to sit around the table with and talk it over demonstrators outside cia headquarters at the start of the year protested against indiscriminate killings by unmanned weaponry they say that rather than winning wars drones merely make more enemies by killing mostly innocent people are fueling rather than quelling insurgency ganesh again r t washington d.c.

. the u.k. government has attracted criticism off the police forcibly removed the peace camp from outside the british parliament in london tuesday protesters who had gathered to call for an end to the war in afghanistan so the government has violated their right to free speech or tease or and the reports. democracy but only on our terms that seems to be the message coming from the powers that be in the u.k. capital as a peace camp is finally removed from the government's doorstep as dozens of bailiffs and police sweeps to clear out the campaign as london's mayor said the demonstrators were making a mess and stopping the public from enjoying parliament square but the protesters insist their crucial message is being muted primarily i would like to see the aggressive foreign policy its government has been pursuing over the book for such a long till going back through many go. on to see an invasion of

sobering states. for any reason they've been resident in this focal spot in westminster since just before may's general election mainly calling for an end to the war in afghanistan but adopting other peace causes along the way i'm here mostly because i met something. about the rules of war which covers all wars and it showed me how evil wars are within the law and expose to me how unlawful the government is and and then that trickles into almost every other aspect of life and into how we educate our children how much we are conditioned. opaque believes that while parliament sitting people should be allowed to make their protest heard within earshot of their m.p.'s cricketers all about sri speech over time we fight wars over free speech and then we start a battle in parliament square against people who are expressing free speech that to me is a total contradiction it's anti-democratic so now calm is restored to parliament

square and the protesters dispersed but the determined people and vowed to gather again elsewhere it took sixteen bay let some four hours to clear out the tents and the people and erect this fence and along with the process just when the rights of free speech. they say the government sending a message to democracy keep up the crofts no rabbits. coming up next our justice or racism opinions on the body israel the palestinian man convicted of rape by deception having sex with women take. under ready to set sail russian ports navy day from one of the most significant celebrations in they bring ukraine. you might have thought that suggesting

a mosque be built at ground zero in new york would have swelled muslim sentiments but does online talk show host or hostess discovered there's plenty of tolerance in the city where america's worst terror. the city of new york is considering a proposal for the construction of an islamic center and mosque at ground zero do you think this is an appropriate site for a mosque this week let's talk about that i think it's a good idea to build a mosque there by actually i would put the idea sort of. why why. why there's a big problem when people equate islam with nine eleven going after the oklahoma city bombing happened we don't equate you know christianity with that i think it's the qur'an teaches peace and nonviolence. if the mosque holds the

traditions of the qur'an i don't have any problem with it i have a problem with anybody blowing up buildings i'm all for it so why do you think some people get so emotional and say it's the wrong thing to do because i think this is frustrated with their ignorance so they need somebody to blame something to blame so that's like one way to go about it people who are afraid of the unknown they don't understand. so maybe building a mosque would help people understand and the idea is that the way i understand it is actually not just a mosque it's a center for interactivity it's a center for people to meet i believe it's been supported by some rabbis actually i think it's all politics and i think they use in the media to make it an excuse to do what they want to do for the best interests of the politicians it doesn't matter all of the emotions that they're pulling out of people it's all about politics all politics whether or not you support a mosque being built where the twin towers once stood let's just hope that everyone

a russian black sea resort but its effect quickly ripple down across the world levy many worried about the donkey's feet this animal was suffering was captured on videos and photographs and the way it spread through the media is really amazing and i think what the public has done is create a demand you know for animals to be treated better and for people to pay attention after a tragedy such an audience the donkey's owner decided he tries handed a different sport running taking the evidence the animal itself wouldn't the thirty's also question the watersports company involved the police then concentrated all their effort on finding the owner and his donkey like this one there in moscow as you can see is a pretty big fella and difficult to hide. in his haste to leave the donkeys owner abandoned other animals the camel and the horse rumor has it they too may have been skyward bound if it wasn't for their sheer size several days later he turned
