eye to eye. nato rolled out the red carpet for the country once considered its borough and russian president dmitry medvedev arrived at the summit of the former cold war military alliance to leaders welcoming him with open arms and a plea. corporate 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. 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 partners no other form of participation for the sake of the

parents is acceptable by the we participate fully we exchange information take part in this is in making we do not participate at all 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 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. even agree on the sauce you're going to have with your stick jenny magic on a foreign military and economic policy there's no greater example of the discontent with nearly all of these can we be clear on the state that led the way to the vote thousands of i mean i protested and it made. me want to we don't think it's necessary it's 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. the nato secretary general also brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the us and as for us told the lisbon summit that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of europe in the entire euro atlantic region and president obama too 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 it's being stalled in washington as newly elected republicans now democrats nuclear security expert paul ingram told r.t. that although president obama faces an uphill struggle right now it is a question of when rather than if ratification will happen. this this treaty is good for european for american and for russian security it's the logical extension from the original start treaty that lapsed last december and there is now no official very clear verification treaty between the two countries so this this the this treaty maintains takes on arms control for and for and and takes the first step in a very long road to that is around obama's vision so he's certainly not about trying to score political points here 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 treaty comes up for ratification 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. that was nuclear security expert paul ingram talking to us there coming up to eight minutes past eleven at night moscow time ahead on the program tonight buried but not forgotten the resurgence of fascism. if you will learn the lessons of the nuremberg trials. amid fears of a rise in pro fascist sentiment across europe calls for greater sympathy towards

hastily extradited to the u.s. from bangkok earlier this week the move described by moscow is illegal. takes up the story. by 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 fark 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. moscow has dubbed the extradition of their citizen are striking injustice 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 goodbye 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 a shift to the united states as if he was just not shipped without his documents and does the russian embassy being informed and during his transfer to new york

boot 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 was in 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 has to answer 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. little pretty 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 and they chose victor. i understand that there was significant amount of political pressure by the u.s. to put on the tar 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 u.s. law enforcement authority 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 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 artsy new york. investigative journalist daniel still even told us about saying that the u.s. would use it think 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 this 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 one 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 victor borge as a merchant of death as a hollywood phenomenon is not an arms merchant he was also he's a cargo merchant he was you if you will the transporter so if americans think you could actually get secrets out of him they're very very very wrong you know 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 of a get out 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 big story this week plenty of comment we brought you as well though including come in there investigative journalist daniel is still in talking to us about. it was dubbed the birth of international law the trials of senior

nazis in the german city of new room berg sixty five years ago and to mark the anniversary a tribunal museum has been opened in germany presenting the full history of the hearings artie's me if an option has been following the opening ceremony for us in . 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 nuremberg exactly where more than four hundred court hearings over more than twenty nazi leaders took place exactly sixty five years ago following which they were found guilty russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has of course first of all emphasize that but he's toric of violence and 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 there it was responsible for that scrutiny for this atrocities were. punished by official international

court but minister love for old has also stressed that this is something we have to remember it's it cannot be forgotten but he has said that he died out a lot that the lessons of the nuremberg trials have been learned through the books and when you see these because everyone learned the lessons of the nuremberg trials apparently not because helping with the explain the recent attempts to justify the actions of north seas and their collaborators to make. something of a just fight for how should we understand the annual mulches of those soldiers in some european capitals court trials against auntie nazi veterans and the introduction of the swastika into the cultural heritage of the baltic people who do you have the international community is to fall into new noses and racial hatred is even through and extremism we go back to the demons of the post we're getting history or trying to rewrite it could lead to new tragedies 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 trast mutual trust and respect it has established. first david cuts from the human rights movement world about naziism says the revival of nazi ideas in eastern europe is not only about people but also about decision makers too. there is a dangerous political and intellectual 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 and n.g.o.s in the nineties 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 that some soviet crimes were horrendous but they did not amount to genocide 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 lithuanian people i know are now afraid to speak up so there's been a decline in democracy first for human rights campaign and. later today

we'll bring you a story a campaign is still hoping to find and bring to trial those who ruined so many lives over sixty years ago. those so many years of. some former prisoners. still a lot. as well for sure. those so many years of. summer hoping to find. others hate your executioners longing for just. those so many years of. memory is still a man. as well. as. eight. you're watching on t.v. from moscow 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 touring the gaza war in any two years ago the two made a nine year old open bags they suspected were full of explosives pulled asli as more from tel aviv. this is a military court that essentially sentenced these two soldiers to three months probation and most of them from the rank of staff sergeant to sergeant 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 in violating human rights and also what is known as these weighty defense forces code of purity of arms such

a sentence carries up to three months in prison but as we see the soldiers got off with a relatively conservative and going to see interns this is 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 who to show is a former israeli soldier and he says that this particular case and iraq had a story 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 palestinians as human shields i prosecuted in coffee in the morning so what we did is we just bumped into a house nearby house where grab all of the kids we took them with us put them in front of the patrol you just walk your patrol in the village with your kid and

they're known for starters 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 israelis. soldiers 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 the smalling these 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 faulted book there's also a sense here in this role that this is a case that is meant to be a 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. you were dark see coming up next hour we are as one lives

believe as the concrete structure over the disaster site it should not be used to be replaced the feeling is of uncovering fresh nuclear danger we try and size up what's going on there later in the program. since bursting into the limelight as a vice presidential candidate two years ago sarah palin has been a stranger the t.v. screens across america her celebrity status continues to grow it's now in the fueling speculation she's planning another tilt at the white house this time for the top job nurses were gauging views on the streets of new york. sarah palin has a reality show her daughter is on a reality show and she has a new book coming out with all this promotion it seems like she might be gearing up to run in two thousand and twelve do you think she's a viable candidate for president of the united states this week let's talk about

that i think absolutely she could not be president. i don't think that she has the smarts i don't think if she has the political backing i think that she's made a career out of being. a t.v. personality and i think that when it comes to the brass tacks the republicans will not nominate her so you don't even think she'll get that far when it comes to the nomination you know i do know that stranger things could happen but she's not getting my vote do you think she'll get enough votes. possibly possibly how do you feel about that. let's america if she gets the vote she can run but i'll be voting and not for her why are we giving her so much attention if she doesn't have the support out there do you think because the media is very good at giving attention to someone who's good at making a stunt of themselves so is that all it is but when it comes to election day if she actually was running you don't think that she would get in i hope that we had the foresight as voters in this country to realize that no she should not be elected

president of the united states of america if she does become president how will you feel oh i'm moving to england. almost a strain if she does become president of the u.s. what do you think the reaction will be in the u.k. . as my friend said. whether or not you think sarah palin is presidential material the bottom line is seems like she's planning on running so at the very least it looks like we'll have an entertaining election come two thousand and twelve. a normal scientific poll of course you're watching our choose news review of the week with me kevin allen thanks very much for choosing our channel this late sunday night the twenty first of november as it is here in moscow a. library
