well to british soil it's a spot on to the split. of the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on. this week's headlines most hotels and they say which will get involved in the lines of missile defense plans for europe but only as an equal partner at a historic summit in lisbon which declared an end to confrontation with russia. i live my life my liberty and now does that make me a nazi curry's have been arrested in the glass while fiddling protest against the military training school for the last american special services and the substance found by opponents. and russian businessman back to britain denies

charges of the arms trafficking and terrorism as a court in the us has swift extradition from thailand on tuesday. to israeli soldiers accused of using a palestinian child as a human shield received eighty nine sentenced much to the angle of human rights groups and the international community. hello and welcome to the program this is all sees that we can review my name as you dash provide our story now russia is open to talks about taking part in the european missile defense system but only as an equal partner present be true that it was speaking at a nato summit in lisbon hailed as his story for ending the alliances one's hostile relationship with moscow but has also lauren this time reports differences still

remain. nato rolled out the red carpet for the country once considered its foe. 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 call her right with arse. 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 be equal and i will stress this it

can only be as partners the form of participation for the sake of the parents is acceptable by the we participate fully we exchange information take part in this isn't 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 back 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 trolled 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 source you're going to have with your stick to me magic when a foreign military and economic well that's right there's no greater example of the discontent with nato it's called the good we speak here on the street simply because when these people thousands i mean are protesting the alliance and i mean. i. was until we don't think it's necessary it's a poor example for us and 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 the nato is out of date now out of time 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 that 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 summit also focused on the delayed ratification of the stop nuclear arms reduction treaty signed by the russian and the us presidents in april is currently held up by american norway because nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen told the lisbon summit that any failure to ratify would damage the

security of europe and the entire a u.s. atlantic region president obama says there's no good reason why the deal can be passed by the u.s. congress the treaty would see the two countries nuclear arsenal slashed by a third but is being stored in washington as new to elected republicans now outweigh obama's democrats' nuclear security expert paul ingram told ossie that all . president obama faces an uphill battle it's more a question of when rather than a ratification of. 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 this treaty maintains takes on arms control for one foot 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. this is all see and coming out as the sixty fifth anniversary of the nuremberg trials are remembered the lessons of burra are forgotten by itself. if you will. of the new.

. russian businessman vic to boot hospital did not guilty new york to charges of terrorism and supplying arms to leftist colombian follicle rebels the police came after he was secretly whisked out of bangkok on tuesday and extradition will screw said was illegal marine a fortnight 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 has been to 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 shipped to the united states as if he was just knowledge

shipped without his documents and without the russian embassy being informed and during his transfer to new york food 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 blue trajectories 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 faces but you have a picture which i want to stress to the u.s. authorities of course some 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 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 it and they chose victor. i understand that there were significant amount of political pressure by the us to put on that our government but i assure you that will be nothing. compared to the put sure that the united states is going to. distribute to cooperate with the u.s.

with force 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 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. and investigative journalist and author daniel a student says buddha is just a poor one in the american political game they so wish well thinking to expect a trial. i can't possibly see how it would be a fair trial because again americans have spent ten years actually trying to get out of the 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 him 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 lobbying 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 a 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 the trouble is not an arms merchant he was also he's a cargo merchant he was he was a transporter so if americans think you can 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 all 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 the mantel piece because as i said before it's a big debate is just a pawn of this global game where the end game is to get out russia any way and any means possible investigative journalist and author daniel esteeming talking.

to his rally soldiers convicted of easing up on a sting and for as a human shield have walked free from a military court they pan made a nine year old boy open bags they suspected held explosives during the israeli onslaught in gaza almost two years ago he's poorness there has moved 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 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 violation of 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 ninety since and split 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 here who to show is a former israeli soldier and he says that this particular case the nine year old 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 where you have palestinians as human shields i prosecuted drink coffee in the morning so what we did is we just

bumped into a house nearby house where 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 that was a case not so long ago when israelis. soldiers 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 the smalling 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 aided the carrying out and that they were 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 leave you eight international pressures that the international community can see the idea of doing some kind of internal tracking and internal assisting 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 the european union. agreed to a massive bailout for all and the eurozone second imagine say rescue package this year the irish government will get access to up to one hundred billion euros to plug massive state dance and banking losses would have meant catastrophe for the nation collapse of irish banks could have disastrous domino effect on weaker a year economy such as portugal and spain threaten the single currency itself and repeatedly denied being in serious trouble saying it had enough cash until mid next year before sunday's u. turn and for a request for help the irish don came out in turn you pressure to take a loan to ease euro zone stability wars' calls resisted in arlon and over fears of loss of a cannot make sovereignty however all seized max kaiser said ireland france is a green future and international monetary fund that can only control. in los

ireland's going to give up or sovereign ireland is going to become a debt slave unless ireland was at the various conducted by the i.m.f. and the i.m.f. everywhere they've gone they've brought destruction and economic mayhem they're looking at their jobs waiting to get in there to cause havoc they themselves are huge for. mase give bonuses to their college array of crony capitalists and terrorist bankers and ireland is quitting in its boots and the government unfortunately arliss not standing up for the people it's abdicated its role as representative of the people the i.m.f. and the e.u. and the e.c.b. caused ireland's crisis so why are you going to them to ask you to solve the crisis they're the ones that cause the crisis ireland needs to divorce itself from these financial terrorists and stand on its own two feet. it was sixty five years ago when the foundation of modern international law was laid with

a trial of top north as a nuremberg hoping to ensure that it was horrible never be forgotten but it seems that some in europe have with the rise of fascism highlighted by russia's foreign minister at the opening of the museum to mark the nuremberg anniversary. reports. 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 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 that was a toric event 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 those are responsible for the scrutiny

for this atrocities were. punished by official international court but minister love for all has also stressed that this is something we have to remember it's it cannot be forgotten but he has said that he doubts a lot that the lessons of the nuremberg trials have been learned. everyone learned the lessons of the nuremberg trials apparently not helping with their explain the recent attempts to justify actions of nazis and their collaborators to make. something of a just how should we understand the annual more. soldiers in some european capitals court trials against onto nazi veterans and the introduction of this was to go into the cultural heritage of the baltic people do you do you have the international community is to follow. racial. trick was an extreme.

to the demons of the poorest getting history or trying to rewrite it could lead to new tragedy and. 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 real here in this city but of course the more important thing is not to forget the result of takes trials of the principles the principles of trast mutual trust and respect it has established a time now to have a look at some other news from around the world america's north korea policy chief is flying for urgent talks with pyongyang and made news for you nelson of the new highly sophisticated new rainman witchhunt facility stephen both words will visit south korea japan and china to discuss the reclusive state's nuclear capability pyongyang's claims follow satellite images showing new construction of the country's atomic complex experts say the facility could be a ploy for concessions in nuclear negotiations all for domestic political consumption in north korea. roman catholics gathered in western

poland on sunday the consecration of what local officials say is the largest statue of christ in the world the must have monument took over four years to build with local businesses hoping it will boost the economy through tourism but some poles are accusing the priest oversaw the project of a power trip saying the vast scale contradicts christ's message of human statues stands at thirty three meters one for every jesus. since taking the spotlight as a losing vice presidential candidate years ago sarah palin has become a mainstay on t.v. screens across america her incessant courting of publicity and growing celebrity status is fueling speculation interest planning to take on barack obama for the top job in two years' time laurie hoffman's has been finding out what new yorkers think of her chances.

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 no idea 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 yeah well move to spain if she does become president of the u.s. what do you think the reaction will be in the u.k. . this. is my friend. 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.
