very warm welcomes he this is arty like from moscow with me on his head that russian businessman and alleged arms smuggler with the boot has pleaded not guilty to charges including terrorism and arms trafficking he was history extradited to the us from kong earlier this week and we've described by moscow as a legal reporter not to take up the story. a two and a half year campaign to get one russian citizen accused arm dealer victor boot begins to face american justice victor boot came into u.s. custody on tuesday set to stand trial on arms smuggling and terrorism charges one conspiring to kill united states nationals to conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use an acquire anti-aircraft missiles

and for conspiring to provide material support to the fark meantime the u.s. to stands accused of breaking laws to grab the russian businessmen organizing a swift extradition from thailand involving some fifty federal agents and u.s. marshals keeping the operation a secret from boots lawyer family and russian officials. despite two rulings in thailand's criminal court saying viktor boots guilt was not proven the thai government has still decided to hand him over to the u.s. i consider this unprecedented political pressure on the legal process and on thailand's government has been moscow has dubbed the extradition of their citizen are striking in justice boot a former army officer was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight in a sting operation involving american law enforcement officials all aboot who didn't

get a chance to say good bye to her husband in thailand accuses the u.s. of kidnapping him as a political pawn. in this operation was illegal it was done to lobbying from the u.s. this russian citizen it was shift to the united states as if he was just not chipped without his documents and without the russian embassy being informed and during his transfer to new york who claims that u.s. officials attempted to force a confession from him as part of a possible plea bargain. according to victor boot during the extradition there were attempts to convince him to make a confession of the crimes he had never committed promising some privileges in return but mr boot rejected these offers in new york federal court on wednesday the forty three year old cargo dealer denied all charges but is being held in solitary confinement at a federal prison in lower manhattan with legal assistance from the russian consul

a top kremlin official stressed that moscow is demanding fair treatment for its citizens while not getting involved in the allegations but faces like your picture which i want to stress to the u.s. authorities of course i'm very serious and profound charges against this russian citizen we have nothing to conceal we don't consider this case a state secret or anything of the kind we want to see this investigation finalized has to answer all the questions raised by the u.s. he will be given protection in consular assistance however that doesn't mean we are claiming he's innocent you know. while many have speculated as to why washington wants but so badly opinions have very. little bitty this is a question of principle they've spent ten years spending money taxpayer money on trying to root out gun runners so they have to have someone to show for it all and they chose victory over a political group of course and i understand that there were significant amount of

political pressure by the us but on the tar government but i assure you that will be nothing. compared to the put sure that the united states is going to. cooperate with the us or already it's against others the chances of a fair trial for victor boot are already in question with us media and the prosecutor portraying him as a villain the so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate all those seeking to provide some cold comfort victor boot is of course presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty the fate of victor boots future will be sealed in this new york federal courthouse his next hearing is scheduled to take place in january if convicted the russian citizen faces twenty five years to life behind bars burning up or not artsy new york. well that's plenty more to come on the programming puting of functions plus spots

in the past and present life you know the nuremberg trials still not seen convicted of crimes against humanity we report on whether the lessons of the pastas been forgotten in today's iraq plus. the massacre of twelve people in solving russia has exposed police corruption find out why the victims' relatives blamed local officials been negligent so. russia was a friend to discussion a for its politics patient european missile defense but only if it's offered a fair and equal role president to meet the vetted emphasize that point to the nato summit in lisbon hailed as historic for ending a once hostile relationship between russia and the alliance but it's always lauren lister reports there still remains issues on which they yet to see eye to eye. nato rolled out the red carpet for the country once considered its bow.

and russian president dmitri medvedev arrived at the summit of the former cold war military alliance to leaders welcoming him with open arms and a plea cooperate with us. let us do this together leaders on both sides seem to indicate they plan to do just that after nato russia talks they hailed as historic missile defense plans under the bush white house provoked the most serious rift between russia and nato since the cold war now the alliance wants russia to join in its plans but russia wants more than just sweet words with a good body that we have agreed with our nato partners that we will pursue donnegan the european a.b.m. i mean guide his should be that our participation will be equal and i will stress this it can only be as ponton as runs no other form of participation for the sake of the parents is acceptable either we participate fully we exchange information take part in this isn't making we do not participate at all the us reset of

relations with russia has brought nato to woo moscow once the great enemy but now courted as a key potential ally together we've worked hard to reset the relations between the united states and russia which has led to concrete benefits for both our nations now we're also resetting the nato russia relationship we see russia as a partner not an adversary russia and nato have reiterated common challenges to be fought from the spread of weapons of mass destruction to terrorism russia has pledged more help to nato in afghanistan with transport access and more resources to fight narcotics there and for the first time in pakistan despite all the warm words there are still differences notably over the south as such in conflict over two years ago nato backed georgia which russian forces were forced to fight after the civilian population came under attack and while nato seeks new purpose and

allies others say the alliance belongs in the past everywhere that nato intervene droned the balkans to iraq to afghanistan it's an absolute mess. because you cannot every anyone who's been to brussels know that you cannot you cannot even to agree on the sauce you're going to have with your stick can't imagine when a foreign military and economic was right there's no greater example of the discontent with nato it's called think and we think here on the states at least that would be both thousand what i mean by protesting the alliance and i mean. we don't want it we don't think it's necessary it's a for example for us and so a country in crisis is spending so much money on something it's cool what we have is a very powerful military alliance with no democratic accountability the leader is announcing the statements no problem and is going to get a child to vote on it and as

a result everyone's military expenditure is going to go up the message is entirely wrong nato is out of date now out of time we need a world of peace and justice not want to prepared for yet more wars and after introducing a new strategic concept to high hopes at the summit nato is challenge now is to turn concept into reality or top on the list is forging a lasting partnership with russia lauren lyster r.t. lisbon portugal. russ's naysayer and avoiding the at her goals and says moscow or the allies to be more predictable. now after we have lived through the conflict and south of setia under a sharp decline in relations it turns out we might have needed such a test on the one hand these events have shown that old nato policies were provoking such inadequate regimes like the suckers really warm to bloody actions on the other hand nato did not get involved in this conflict because europeans did not

support the most aggressive part of the bush administration for us nato was a big headache it used to be an enemy now an unpredictable partner the left hand of which doesn't know what the right handers doing we are tired of this we want more stability and security on our western borders and in the long run maybe even certainty that there will be no trouble at the whole i think the americans have finally heard us both. nato secretary general also brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the us and as for romney's and told the lisbon summit that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of europe and the time a euro atlantic region president obama says there's no good reason why the deal can't be passed by the u.s. congress the treaty would see the two countries nuclear arsenal slashed by a third but is being stalled in washington as newly elected republicans now our way of bombers democrats british anti-nuclear campaigner kate hudson says the prospect

of a world without atomic weapons is far too important and sacrifice for one party's short term political ambition. we were amongst the many people around the world who really welcomed president obama's speech in prague where he outlined his vision of a world without nuclear weapons and of course a vision which president medvedev shares and i think it's absolutely reprehensible if senators in the u.s. congress are obstructing the passing of this very important treaty the new start treaty for party political point scoring reasons i think this is far too important on a global scale for them to stand in the way like this many people globally including i should say former cold warriors people like henry kissinger and george schultz many other leaders across the world now believe that it is just too jane shuras to have nuclear weapons and that is the trend that is taking place in the world towards disarmament and away from nuclear weapons and that is the trend which the

u.s. senate and the u.s. congress should be going along with and following the leadership of their president . well that was that british outing to campaign there kate hudson there. an israeli military court has let two of its soldiers walk free after they were convicted of using a palestinian boy as a human shield during in the gaza war nearly two years ago the two made a nine year old opened bags they suspected were full of explosives assays paulus leader has moved from tel aviv. court that essentially sentenced these two soldiers to three months probation and demotion them from the rank of staff sergeant to some large and now the case involves the operation cast lead the war back in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine when the two soldiers approached a young nine year old palestinian child and forced him to look inside a number of bags that the soldiers were fearful had some kind of explosives in them

as it turned out there was nothing inside the bags and no one was hurt but the soldiers were charged with using this child as a human shield which was ruled by the israeli supreme court to be illegal the military prosecutors wanted to see some kind of jail time they were essentially calling me fact that the soldiers are violating human rights and also what is known as these weighty defense forces code of purity of arms such as the intern's carries up to three months in prison but as we see the soldiers got off with a relatively conservative and night interns just as a surprise to many people here in israel particularly human rights groups and left wing organizations i just got off the phone with the public committee against torture in israel and they used the word ridiculous and i think we're going to see more of that kind of reaction throughout the course of the day as the sentencing becomes more public you know what it sholay is a former israeli soldier and he says that this particular case and iraq had assumed going to be used as a human shield is not unusual the only unusual thing in this instance is that it

made it to court in the first place. i think that to ask a combat soldier and serve in the occupied territories where you are palestinians as human shields i prosecuted drink coffee in the morning so what we did is we just bumped into a house nearby house we grabbed one of the kids we took him with us put him in front of the patrol you just walk your patrol in the village with your kid and then no one for a start this is not the first time that there has been recorded instances of israeli soldiers carrying out some kind of violations against palestinians it was a case not so long ago when an israeli soldier. loaded to facebook pictures of soldiers harming and mocking and humiliating palestinians there was a lot of emotion in the courtroom and be assured that this morning the soldiers themselves have not spoken on camera but their lawyer did say that they were satisfied with the finding they did feel that the soldiers were being used as a scapegoat by the military superiors who ordered the carrying out and that they are the ones who should be brought to book there's also

a sense here in this role that this is a case that is meant to levy eight international pressures that the international community can see the idea of doing some kind of internal tracking and internal assessing to make sure that this kind of thing does not happen again but it's unlikely that with such a conservative sentence many people in the international community will be satisfied today. now quiet rural village in southern roster is still in shock after the horrific slaughter of four children and eight adults a men who are believed to be involved in alberta we said murders in the souls have been arrested by police but many in the community of fearful the corruption and these are powerful connections could see a travesty of justice then these battles reports. grieving relatives and commemorative candles dupped this quiet rural neighborhood it is hard to believe that this peaceful place in southern russia was the scene of considerable brutality a dozen people including children were stabbed to death in this village of. four

out of twelve victims a buried here at the small cemetery everyone who knew these people is in deep shock victor used to work for them as a family they were farmers he says real hard workers. this is the head of the family sergei and his wife elin and daughter lie elena and her little daughter a mirror i just can't believe it happened and i don't know who could do something like this the bodies of the victims were found in this house investigators say that killers literally slaughtered everyone who got in their way the owners and their guests there to celebrate russia's national unity day would be a matter of eight men have already been arrested in connection with the modus one of them said gates of poker is an influential. who is alleged to be the mastermind behind hundreds of other bloody acts of terror that wealthy landowner is also alleged to have his own private army disguised as

a security firm besides many unsolved murders and rape cases the gang is also suspected of reckon tieri in the aftermath of the horror of the are still stocks the streets here people afraid of being the next victims of rape. only if. their neighbor was also killed not so long ago he and his son were shot right on the porch of their home someone is in someone's way investigators say it may have been city of refusal to pay all the cost him his relatives and friends their wives some of the regional police the storm brus as well as local officials have already been fired. through the trust guard to make it even stricter punishment. should it be a break up today we arrested the gang members tomorrow will continue by getting two dollars among law enforcement officers and local officials who are traitors despite the fact that gang leaders are under arrest some jurors believe that they still may

get away with their crimes by using colorful connections in the capital but that according to the governor should not happen and you're sure you want i'm hearing often that these are people who are kids from someone who most new york or whatever trust me if they get away but usually everyone will get what they deserve however with many of the gang members still at large the tension remains high among the people of the southern russian village this shocked community wants justice boyd behind bars but those responsible put truly horrific murders and clear answers to the hundreds of other unsolved crimes. does war ski cross in the region. has been dubbed the birth of international law the trials of senior nazis in the german city of nuremberg sixty five years ago to mark the anniversary of the tribe you know museum is being opened in germany presenting at the full history of the

herrings that we saw with the russian foreign we have the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov speaking out that opening ceremony and for more on what it all means that cell salts you don't see flames of director of the jewish human rights organization the simon vies and fell center many thanks for joining us they were last seen now as a coordinator of nazi war crimes research wald wide how do you assess the significance of the nearby trials. there is no the question that the nuremberg trials are a turning point which helped create what we call today international law and the basic principles and the which people who committed genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity presently being brought to justice. well you've been described as a nazi hunter and one of the most prominent in the world what do you think about the revival that we're seeing of naziism today across some parts of europe

obviously it's a very disturbing phenomenon and. in a sense is a certain country diction here because as the years go by there's more and more holocaust education and you would assume that that how it how it was the education would serve as an antidote or give people immunity to nazi ideas but obviously the education doesn't reach everybody and there are places where there's been a revival of fascist of the majesty the ordeal that your idea is this is of course is a course of much concern well let some focus on the places specifically without happening s.s. parades are permitted in places i'm not there in a stone yet how can the spread of knowledge do you think be best tackle that these trends our lounge five year far seems that well first of

all there's a fight going on over this stuck on narrative in other words if there are countries in the post communist world for example who are trying to equate matchy crimes with communist crimes this of course is government inspired the government sponsored and this is the source one of the main sources of the problem. in other words if people do not know what actually happened during world which are who the criminals were and who the heroes were then this is obviously one very big problem but i have to say that a lot of this is fueled by globalization by fear of loss of national identity by economic problems all of this together create a very. very special atmosphere which encourages the resurgence of the are not using more your fascism in eastern europe . are right many thanks for the. frames they're off to right of the simon basin

thousand and the coordinator of nazi war crimes research while why many things. well let's not cross over to our maria financially who's actually in in your own bank aware that so many take place now we're at the service was attended by representatives from the us france and britain as well as the russian foreign minister and what's been said today. well speaking at the opening of the nuremberg trials memorial here in germany in that room it's called room number six hundred in the palace of justice in nuremberg exactly where more than four hundred court hearings over more than twenty not two leaders took place exactly sixty five years ago following which they were found guilty russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has of course to first of all oversized but was and he's toward cuba and a milestone event for the history of mankind as for the first time ever the actions by nazi dictatorship were classified as crimes against humanity and crimes against

peace of the world and those responsible for the screw to you for the it's a trough cities were condemned and punished by official international court but minister lavrov has also stressed that this is something we have to remember it cannot be forgotten but he has said that he died out a lot that the lessons of the nuremberg trials have been learned with many contradictory events to happen in europe especially in the baltic states and a lot to be able to release and is told here with those events that russia is seen as a glorifying narcism let's now listen to what the minister lavrov exactly has sat. has everyone learned the lessons of the nuremberg trials apparently not because helping with the explain the recent attempts to justify actions of nazis and their

collaborators to make their look like something you're good just. understand the annual march is a film. in some european capitals called trials against auntie nazi veterans and the introduction of the swastika into the cultural heritage of the baltic people do you have the international community is to fight. racial hatred was even through beer and extremism. to the demons of the poorest getting history or trying to rewrite it could lead to new tragedies. or foreign minister lavrov has pointed out here in europe that of course is a good thing to open such a museum to set up such a moral here in the city but of course the more important thing is not to forget the result of the extra hours of the principles the principles of trast mutual trust and respect it has established. many thanks for those was from
