new stories from the week moscow will take part in missile defense plans for europe only if it's an equal partner that was the outcome of the nato russia summit in lisbon which is pretty well as a fresh start and the relations details of the. russian business when viktor approves denies charges of weapons smuggling and terrorism at a court in the united states after it was hastily extradited from thailand on tuesday.

but r t news crews detained in the u.s. says they filmed the rally near a military training academy in ga also. to retrieve the soldiers accused of using the palestinian child as a human shield received since its much to the angle of human rights groups and the international community. fellow eight pm sunday night here in moscow this is r.t. it's kevin zero in with the stories making the headlines from this past week and first russia is open to discussion over its participation in european missile defense but only if it's offered a fair and equal role president dmitri medvedev emphasized that point at the nato summit in lisbon held this historic for ending a once hostile relationship between russia and the alliance results his loyalists are reports next there are still issues which they don't see eye to eye on.

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 called 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 god 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 to nato intervene from 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 know even to agree on the sauce you're going to have with your stick can imagine when a foreign military and economic walls but there's no greater example of the discontent with nearly all of these can we be here on this date that live there what we've heard thousand was i mean i protest to be alive and it. wasn't we don't think it's necessary it's ok for example for us so

a country in crisis is spending so much money on something it's called what we have is a very powerful military alliance with no democratic accountability the leaders announcing the statements no parliament 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 we need a world of peace and justice not want to prepare it 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. russia's nato envoy demitra goes and says moscow wants the alliance to be more predictable to show us now after we have lived through the conflict in south ossetia 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 socceroos 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 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 to toll i think the americans have finally heard us as as well. nato secretary general also brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the united states and told the lisbon treaty that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of europe in the entire 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 country's nuclear arsenal slashed by

a third but it's being stalled in washington rasputin noted republican is no way obama's democrats british nuclear campaigner kate hudson told us the prospect of a world without nuclear weapons is far too important to be sacrificed 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 struck seeing 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 faithful 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 . british absolutely accompany the kate hudson speaking to us coming up on the program buried but never forgotten the resurgence of fascism reenacted s.s. parades to swastikas in books seems europe's experiencing a growing wave of protests the sentiment but calls for greater sympathy for convicted nazi officials are causing outrage we report ahead tonight. that an r.t. crew is being detained in the united states as they filmed a valley near a military training academy dubbed by critics the school of assassins and cameramen and a correspondent have been taken into custody in the state of georgia along with a number of activists get the latest on this developing story tonight cross to out

he's got a future courage falling in motion again what more do we know about what's happened to our colleagues so far tonight. well carol we had the chance to talk to kayleen one of our correspondents she and one of our cameraman john conway are now we jailed in columbus georgia they were covering going to annual demonstration outside fort benning which holds a training center for latin american soldiers and policemen air every year thousands of people gather at the gates of that institution with demands to shut it down among its graduates are many of the continent's most and poorest torturers mass murderers dictators and state terrorists some call for banning america's terrorist training camp kayleen our correspondent said there was no disobedience to the police on their part they stayed away from the gate as they were asked to but what followed by all standards nonviolent and rally were dozens of arrests even one ninety year old preacher priest was arrested r.t. merica crew were arrested as they were doing their job trying to capture on camera

the whole event including the arrest they are now in jail for that is not quite clear right now they could be charged with disobedience to the police or federal trespassing also needs to be mentioned that both both of them were american citizens. because the tours for some of these graduates. will flush on the boat while the other. well we have an arc has been covering this grow who growing public outrage with what's going on at fort benning and its training camp for america in american military and law enforcement officers they train around sixty thousand of that many of them have returned to their countries and committed human rights abuses poor kerry actually viewed judicial likes acute and massacre as a nine hundred ninety three for example the united nations truth commission on el salvador named the army officers who had committed the worst atrocities of the civil war there two thirds of them had been trained at the school of the americas.

for panning and in chile the schools graduate and both ago also secret police and some of these may be prisons which are often referred to as concentration camps and also general school led the military coup in honduras in two thousand and eight just recently were trained at the school of the americas which is now called the western hemisphere institute for security cooperation the name change but the practices there remain caylee ford our reporter was covering all bases and the rally outside fort benning where the training center is located i'll keep you posted on the cruise on our crew situation there as we get more information from them hopefully they will they will let them go and caylee will have the chance to tell us the story behind this rally closely following up as we will bring you some of the gun and shoot your reporting and bring you some of that on this developing story from washington d.c. . russian business model alleged smuggling big to boot has pleaded not guilty to

charges including toters of an arms trafficking he was hastily extradited to the u.s. from bangkok earlier this week moved described by moscow it was illegal. to exit 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 two 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 far meantime the u.s. to stands accused of breaking laws to grab the russian businessman 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 victor 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 so the 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 to shift to the united states as if he was just not shipped 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 balls and very serious and profound charges against this russian citizen we have nothing to conceal we don't consider this case to stay secret or

anything of the kind we want to see this investigation finalized. all the questions raised by the u.s. he will be given protection and 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 proper of monopoly 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 a little and they chose victor. i understand that there were significant amount of political pressure by the u.s. to put on the car government but i assure you that will be nothing. compared to the pressure that the united states is going to put on mr boot to cooperate with the us law enforcement already is 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 although 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 an artsy new york. investigative journalist turning a still untold out to the u.s. will use vick to boots trial for its own interests. i can't possibly see how it would be a fair trial because again americans i've spent ten years actually tried to get out of their trouble they spent two years and a half trying to get him out of prison in thailand to the united states and now actually when they have been in their grasp in the united states if they actually put him on fair trial and he wins this case imagine what's going to happen to the

united states they're going to turn into a locking stock of the entire world so no the trial is not going to be a fair trial but again victor would simply has no secrets to tell so in a fair trial he would go whole but again he won't go home i mean the whole idea of viktor buddhism merchant of death as a hollywood phenomenon is not an arms merchant he was you know he's a cargo merchant he was he was a transporter so if americans think you could actually get secrets out of him they're very very very wrong no the russians know there's the americans know this there's two ways to look at this or we're going to have a show trial a bit of a closed door trial i think probably they're going to go for the show trial because again is a very useful piece of mantlepiece because as i said before it's a big trouble just a pawn of this global game where the end game is to get out russia any way and any means possible for thorough investigation to end this daniel a student and you know. that israeli military court slipped to the soldiers walk free after they were convicted of using a palestinian boy is

a human shield during the gaza war nearly two years ago the two made a nine year old open bags they suspected were full of explosives lottie's pulled asli has the latest from tel aviv. this is a military court that essentially sentenced these two soldiers to three months probation and the most of 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 on 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 going to see 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 showed is a former israeli soldier and he says that risk particular case and iraq had a store 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 occupied territories or use palestinians as human shield is like prosecuting 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 they're

known for us towards 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 the israelis. 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 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 be a levy eight international precious that the international community can see the i.d.f. 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. looking ahead to you in about an hour's time we've got

a special report for you about a man whose views about the israeli palestinian conflict have never made it to america's mainstream media despite the huge success of his books it said our profile of norman finkelstein the outspoken critic of israel and son of holocaust survivors. library mother did not like we're going to become. afraid. and she was very cool. though. arwa frankenstein's monster. we do have the problem. every. effort is made. on the palestinian or in the european side to negotiate an end. to the violent attacks against israel which i have no fear of. calling. so long as you have no. calling the leader of the state of israel one of the main terrorists in the world.

we are supposed to be seriously examining history when you mention a few words about jewish culture. and people get so upset this is i'm sorry to say it's a form of emotional blackmail. coming up here on our team from moscow later. in his day it was dubbed the birth of international law the trials of seeing enough season the german city of nuremberg sixty five years ago to mark the anniversary now a tribunal museum has been opened in germany presenting the full history of the

hearings out is rare for national has been following the opening ceremony in europe . 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 nerve exactly where more than four hundred court hearings over more than twenty nazi leaders took place exactly sixty five years ago following in which they were found guilty russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has a thought first of all emphasize that but he's toric a violent and milestone event for the history of mankind as for the first time ever the actions by nazi dictatorship of work classified as crimes against humanity and crimes against peace of the world and their usage of responsible for scrutiny for this atrocities were condemned and punished by official international court but mr love for old has also stressed that this is something we have to remember it it cannot be forgotten but he has said that he doubts

a lot that the lessons of the nuremberg trials have been learned to do because when you see as. everyone learned the lessons of the nuremberg trial apparently not going to because well can we very explain the recent attempts to justify an actions of the nazis and their collaborators interest to make their control and cloak something you could just fully. understand the annual marches if soldiers in some european councils called trials against aunty no see veterans and the introduction of the swastika into the cultural heritage or the books you can people who do you have the international community is to find new notes racial hatred was even through beer and extremism we're going to add to the demons of the people are still getting history or trying to rewrite it could lead to new tragedies and some who says this foreign minister lavrov has pointed out here in nuremberg that of course is a good thing to open such a museum to set up such a memorial here in the city but of course the more important thing is not to forget

the results of face trials of the principles the principles of trost mutual trust and respect it has established. professor of human rights movement world without naziism says the revival of nazi ideas in eastern europe is not only about people but also about decision makers too there is a danger it's a 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 stains in the history of a number of east european countries and very brave individuals and 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 band also by the glorification of participants in the holocaust in various museums in the region so if i say as i do that some soviet crimes were horrendous but they did not amount to genocide and the two are not equal i now is liable to a two year jail sentence now that's very easy for me as a foreigner living here to walk away but very many talented brave young with the raining on people i know are now afraid to speak up so there's been a decline in democracy. you're watching r t in a recap of this week's top stories and today's news money is kevin zero in on the back with the headlines very shortly for this sunday evening the twenty first of november giving more scope.
