radiative arrived at the summit of the former cold war military alliance to leaders welcoming him with open arms and a plea cooperate with our. 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. you have agreed with our nato partners that we will pursue donnegan the european a.b.m. i mean god his should be that our participation will be equal and i will stress this it can only be as partners around no other form of participation for the sake of the parents is acceptable only by the we participate fully we exchange
11:04 am
information take part in this is in making we do not participate at all should the u.s. 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 back georgia which russian forces were forced to fight after the civilian population came under attack and while nato seeks new purpose and allies
11:05 am
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 in brussels if you know even to agree on the sauce you're going to have with your stick can't imagine when a foreign military and economic walls drive there's no greater example of the discontent with nato it's called thinking we think we're on the state that live there would be filled thousand right i mean by protesting the alliance and it i mean. by that. we don't want to we don't think it's necessary it's awful for example for us and so a country in crisis is spending so much money on something it's cold war what we have is a very powerful military alliance with no democratic accountability the leader is
11:06 am
announcing the statements no problem and is going to get a chance 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 and we need a world of peace and justice not one of preparing for yet more wars and after introducing a new strategic concept to high hopes at the summit nato's challenge now is to turn concept into reality where top on the list is forging a lasting partnership with russia lauren lyster r.t. lisbon portugal. or as nato envoy think that he had high goals and says moscow wants the alliance to be more predictable. now after we have lived through the conflict and south of setia on 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 an adequate regimes like the suck is really one to bloody actions on
11:07 am
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 hand is 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 a toll i think the americans have finally heard us. when they say secretary-general so you've brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the u.s. under the rasmussen told there's been some of that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of europe and the entire euro atlantic region where president obama says there's no good reason why the deal can't be passed by the u.s. congress the treaty with the the two countries nuclear arsenal flashed by a third but has been stalled in washington is newly elected republicans now outweigh a bomb of democrats nuclear security expert paul ingram told r.t.
11:08 am
that although president obama faces an uphill battle it's more a question of when rather than if ratification will happen so this this treaty is good for european for america and for russian security it's the logical extension from the original start treaty that lapsed last december and there is now no official clear verification treaty between the two countries so this this this treaty maintains takes on arms control for foot and and takes the first step in a very long road to around obama's vision so he's certainly not about trying to score political points he's exposed himself to some extent to two opponents who do seem to be trying to use this treaty themselves to score political points against him very very difficult political situation but i have to say if that
11:09 am
treaty comes up for us for cation on the floor of the senate it will pass the debate is when it comes up for votes and the objections are largely about not having enough time to properly scrutinize the treaty senators have had eight or nine months to do this it's plenty of time compared to previous treaties so it really is quite baffling as to whether there really any concrete objections to this treaty coming from the senate. well that was nuclear security expert paul and grover still to come in the program a very bright never forgotten resurgent. from reenacted exasperation swastikas and books europe is experiencing a growing wave of protocol c said and it calls for greater sympathy for convicted nazi officials causing an outrage. last seans across the continent roma communities are being expelled by european governments and left without proper shelter and health care that's coming up later this hour. and

washington wants but so badly opinions had very top of the previous is a question of principle they've spent ten years of spending money taxpayer money on trying to root out gun runners so they have to have someone to show for it and they chose vigor to have to have i understand that there was significant amount of political pressure by the us to put on the car government but i assure you that will be nothing. compared to the push sure that the united states is going to put on mr boot to cooperate with the u.s. law enforcement already it's against others the chances of a fair trial for victor boot are already in question with u.s. media and the prosecutor portraying him as a villain the so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate there are all those seeking to provide some cold comfort victor boot is of course presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty the fate of

11:18 am
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 on me fact that the soldiers are violating human rights and also what is known as these radio 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 light sentence let's have 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 surely is a former israeli soldier and he says that risk particular case of
11:19 am
a nine year old had a studio going being 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 argued by territories where years past three years as a human shield is like prosecuting coffee in the morning so what we did is we just bumped into a house house nearby. were 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 first of all 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 uploaded 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 had 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 world that this is a case that is meant to alleviate international pressure so 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 it's been dubbed the birth of international law the trials of seeing in the bag sixty five years ago to mark the anniversary a tribe you know museum is being a pin in germany presenting the full history of the hearing with. the national house following the opening ceremony in nuremberg. speaking at the opening of the nuremberg trials me more here in germany in that room it's called room number six hundred in the palace of justice in irving exactly where more than four hundred court hearings over more than twenty nazi leaders took place exactly sixty five

11:23 am
a dangerous political and to that sure trend of nationalism of states not wanting any staying in their history and of course participation in the holocaust is a stain in the history of a number of east european countries and very brave individuals in n.g.o.s in the ninety's and beyond were standing up to teach their people the truth but unfortunately the baltic governments decided to deal with it in a very dishonest way to confuse confound the nazi and the soviet crimes into one mixture by setting up state commissions and in the end with the lamia by actually launching prosecutorial investigations against holocaust survivors who are alive because they joined the anti nazi resistance and also by the glorification of participants in the holocaust in various museums in the region so if i say as i do
