welcome to all season weekly review i mean. main story russia is open to talks about taking part in the european missile defense system but only as an equal partner president dmitry medvedev was speaking at a nato summit in lisbon hailed as historic for ending the alliance as was hostile relationship with moscow but has also he's a lord mr reports differences still remain. nato rolled out the red carpet for the country once considered its boat 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 cooperate with the us. let us do this together
10:02 pm
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 because 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 no other form of participation for the sake of the parents is acceptable by the we participate fully we exchange information take part in decision making we do not participate at all the u.s. 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
10:03 pm
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 droned the balkans to iraq to afghanistan it's an absolute mess. because you
10:04 pm
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 i mean magic when a foreign military and economic well that's right there's no greater example of the discontent with nato it's called did we speak here on the state that led to what these people thousands of i mean by protesting the alliance and i mean. we don't want to we don't think it's necessary it's a poor example for us so the 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 one of preparing for yet more wars and after
10:05 pm
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. a nato secretary general also brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the us and as far rasmussen told the lisbon summit that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of europe on the tie your atlantic region president obama says there's no good reason why the deal can they paused by the u.s. congress the treaty would see the two countries nuclear arsenal slashed but as being stalled in washington as new the elected republicans now outweigh obama's democrats british anti-nuclear complaining kate hudson says the prospect of a world without atomic weapons is faltu important to base sacrifice one party is a short term plan. convention. we were among the many people around the world who
10:06 pm
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
10:07 pm
this is our see and coming up later as the sixty fifth anniversary of the nuremberg trials i remember the lessons of war a forgotten by sound. if you will need a little bit. i mean fears of a rise in provocative sentiment across here of course the greater sympathy towards victims nazis are of trade. in r.c. crew has been arrested in the u.s. as they filmed a running in military training academy dubbed by critics this call of assassins a camera man john conway the correspondent kaylin ford have been taken into custody in the state of georgia along with a number of activists. account has the latest from washington. 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 an

military and law enforcement officers they train around sixty thousand of them many of them of return to their countries and committed human rights abuses actually due to their feel like secure and massacres in one thousand nine hundred 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 are two thirds of them had been trained at the school of the americas. for banning and in chile the schools graduate and both go also secret police and some of these prisons which are often referred to as concentration camps and also the generals who led the military coup in honduras or trained at the school of the americas which is now called the western hemisphere institute. security cooperation the name change but the practice is there remain kaley ford our reporter was covering all bases on the rally outside fort benning where the training center is located i'll keep you posted on the
10:10 pm
cruise on our crew situation there as we get more information from them hopefully they will let them go and kaylee will have the chance to tell us the story behind this rally going their own reporting there from washington d.c. . russian businessman victim pleaded not guilty in new york to childers of terrorism and supplying arms to leftist colombian fog rebels the leak came after he was secretly whisked out of bangkok on tuesday an extradition. said it was illegal marina porter takes up the story. i two and a half year campaign to get one of 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
10:11 pm
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 is this is your 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
10:12 pm
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 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
10:13 pm
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. 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 were significant amount of political pressure
10:14 pm
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 put on mr boot you cooperate with the us 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 also daniel is to him and says byrd is just
10:15 pm
a pawn in the american political game and is wishful thinking to expect a fair trial. i can't possibly see how it would be a fair trial because again americans have spent ten years actually tried to get 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 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 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 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 or we're going to have a show trial of
10:16 pm
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 trouble 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 it's tuning talking that . two israeli soldiers convicted of using a palestinian boy as a human shield have walked free from a military court they've made a nine year old boy open they suspected held explosives during the israeli onslaught gaza almost two years ago he's promised has more from tenet. 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
10:17 pm
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 the fact that the soldiers are violating human rights and also what is known as these radio 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 light sentence this was 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 a shoulder is a former israeli soldier and he says that risk particular case and iraq had
10:18 pm
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 power three you have human shields like prosecuting 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 then no one for a start this is not the first time that there has been recorded instances of israeli soldiers carrying out some kind of violations against palestinians there was a case not so long ago when 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 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 all did the carrying out and that they
10:19 pm
are the ones who should be brought to book there's also a sense here in israel that this is a case that is meant to levy eight 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. the european union and the agreed to a massive bailout for the euro zone second imagines a rescue package this year the irish government will get answers stop to one hundred billion euros to plug the massive state debts and banking losses which have meant catastrophe for the nation cannot survive banks could have a disastrous domino effect and weaker you very kona means such as portugal and spain and even threaten the single currency itself repeatedly denied being in serious trouble saying it's not enough cash until mid next year before sunday's. request for help the other climb down came after intense pressure to take the learn
10:20 pm
to easier as instability war is calls resisted an element of the fee is a result of the konami sovereignty his financial guru math kaiser's said in faces a green future on the international monetary fund economic control. in los ireland's willing to give up or sovereignty unless ireland is going to become a debt slave unless ireland wants its affairs conducted by the i.m.f. and the i.m.f. everywhere they've gone they've brought destruction and economic mayhem you know they're looking their chops waiting to get in there to cause havoc pay themselves a huge freeze give bonuses to their colleagues of crony capitalist and terrorist 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 our lunch crisis so why are you going to them to ask you to solve the crisis
10:21 pm
they're the ones that caused the crisis ireland needs to divorce itself from these financial duress and stand on its own two feet. it was sixty five years ago when the foundation of modern international law was laid with the trial of top notes as a new hoping to ensure that holo good horror would never be forgotten but it seems that some in europe with the rise in fascism highlighted by russia's foreign minister the opening of a museum to mark the nuremberg anniversary maria finish and now reports. 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 a thought first of all i emphasize that but he's toric of violence and milestone
10:22 pm
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 then he was responsible for that scrutiny for this atrocities were condemned and punished by official international courts 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 died out a lot that the lessons of the nuremberg trials have been learned. everyone learned the lessons of the nuremberg trials apparently not because helping with the explain the recent attempts to justify the actions of nazis and their collaborators to make. something of a just how should we understand the annual more. as soldiers in some european capitals called trials against auntie nazi veterans and the introduction of the
10:23 pm
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 beer 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. unless no have a look at some other international news stories america's north korea policy tree line for urgent talks with pyongyang its neighbors following its announcement of a new highly sophisticated uranium enrichment facility stephen bosworth will visit south korea japan and china to discuss the reclusive state's nuclear capability
10:24 pm
feel young's claims for those satellite images show new construction of the country's atomic complex experts say the facility could be a ploy for concessions in ukraine you give stations all for domestic but until consumption consumption in north korea. well the catholics got to be in western poland on sunday for the cost of creation of what local officials say is the largest stench of christ in the world the massive monument took over four years to build with local businesses hoping it will boost the economy through terrorism but some polls are accusing the priest who oversaw the project of a power trip it's a vast scale contradicts christ's message of humility that you stars at thirty three meters one for every year. now since taking the spotlight as a losing as a losing wise presidential candidate two years ago sarah palin has become a mainstay on t.v. screens across america incessant courting of publicity and growing celebrity status

vote do you think she'll get enough votes. possibly possibly how do you feel about that. let's america if she gets the votes 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. 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 she hopes that. whether or not you think sarah palin is presidential
