still remain. nato rolled out the red carpet for the country once considered its foe. and russian president dmitri radiative 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 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 oestrus this it can only be as partners around 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 us reset of relations with russia has brought nato to 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 intervened 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. be going to agree on the sauce you're going to have with your stick to me magic when i come in for a military and economic well that's right there's no greater example of the discontent with nato it's called a good we think here on the streets at least that's what these people thousands of i mean by protesting the alliance and i mean . i. wasn't here we don't think it's necessary it's ok for example for us to 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 leaders announcing this statement 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 that 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. the nato secretary general also brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between washington the u.s. and as far rasmussen told the lisbon summit that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of europe and the entire year atlantic region president obama

says there's no good reason why the deal can be paused by the us congress the trees he would see the two country's nuclear arsenals slashed by a fed but is being stalled in washington as new to elected republicans now overweight outweigh obama's democrats' british aren't painted kate hudson says they are prospect of a world without atomic weapons as to importance of a sacrifice one part is short term. it's columbus. we were among 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 senate in the u.s. congress are obstructing the passing of this very important treaty the new start treaty for party political or 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 this is our see and coming up later this hour as the sixty fifth anniversary of the nuremberg trials are remembered the lessons of all are forgotten by side. if you will need the nations of the new big tools. to. meet fears of a rising pro functions sentiment across europe calls for greater sympathy towards convicted nazis. outrage. in r.c. crew has been arrested in the u.s. as they filmed a rally near the military training academy dubbed by critics their school of

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 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 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 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 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 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 push 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 although seeking to provide some cold comfort victor boot is of course presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty the fate of victor boots

soldiers were charged with using this child as a human shield which was read by the israeli supreme court to be illegal the military prosecutors wanted to see some kind of jail time they were essentially calling on the fact that the soldiers in violated 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 the night since since 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 put it sholay 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 where you have palestinians as human shields i prosecutor in 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 just walking a patrol in a village with a 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. 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 are the ones who should be faulted book there's also a serious feeling this role that this is

a case that is meant to alleviate international pressures that the international community can see the idea of doing some kind of internal tracking internal assisting to make sure that this kind of thing does not happen again but it's unlikely that with such a conservative suitors many people in the international community will be satisfied today. and will have moved the weeks main news ahead including in the months ago to twelve people in southern russia but somebody who is exposing these corruption. after businessman and seven associates are arrested for the murders the victim's friends and relatives blame local officials for negligence. the european union and the i.m.f. have agreed to a massive bailout for ireland the euro zone's second imagines to rescue package this year the irish government will get artists up to one hundred billion euro to plug mahsud state diets and banking losses would have meant catastrophe for the nation collapse of irish banks could have

bankers and ireland is quaking in its boots and the government unfortunately in our lives not standing up for the people it's abdicated its role as representative of the people the i.m.f. and the 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 notes isn't even hoping to ensure that hitler's horror it would never be forgotten but it seems that some in europe where the rise and fall russia's highlighted by russia's foreign minister at the opening of a museum to mark the new year and that i have asked three maria finish and reports from about. 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 in which they were found guilty russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has of course first of all emphasized that but he's toric of violence and milestone event for the history of mankind as for the first time ever the actions by nelson dictatorship of work classified as crimes against humanity and crimes against peace of the world and their use is responsible for that scrutiny for this atrocities were found and punished by official international court but minister 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 pursue when you see as. everyone learned the lessons of the nuremberg trials apparently not because

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 mulches of soldiers in some european capitals court trials against anti nazi veterans and the introduction of the swastika into the cultural heritage of the baltic people do you have the international community is to fall into new noses in racial hatred. and extremism we're back to the demons of the post getting history or trying to rewrite it could lead to new tragedies prime 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. and holocaust professor don't get cancer from the

human rights movement world without non-citizen says the revival of nazi ideas in eastern europe is a sign of declining democracy as people are afraid to speak. there is a dangerous a 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 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 of the soviet crimes into one mixture by setting up state commissions and in the end in lithuania by actually launching prosecutorial investigations against holocaust survivors who are

alive because they drawing 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 live 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. a village in southern russia is in fear and shock after the slaughter of four children and adults on the country's national unity holiday a fortnight ago with the boat is burned up towards a man arrested by police and also suspects another recent murders and assaults but some fear that corruption and powerful connections could see those responsible walk
