hello and welcome to the program this is weekly review and you know. main story russia is open to talks about taking part in the european missile defense system but only as an equal partner president to make sure that it was speaking at a nato summit and there's been this historic ending balances once hostile relationship with moscow but as also his lower list to report differences 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 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 be equal and oestrus 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 nato intervened trying. to iraq to afghanistan it's an absolute mess. because you cannot every anyone who's been to brussels know that you cannot you cannot even agree on the sauce you're going to have with your stick any magic when a foreign military and economic walls are out there is no greater example of the

discontent with nato it's called me than we think here on this date because they have what these people thousands of i mean by protesting the alliance and it's not me. we don't want it we don't think it's necessary it's for example for us and so a country in crisis is spending so much money on something that's cool what we have is a very powerful minix reliance with no democratic accountability the leader is announcing the statements no problem and is going to get a child to vote on it and as a result everyone's military expenditure is going to go up the message is entirely wrong and nato is out of date now out of time and 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 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. nato secretary general also brought up the importance of the nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the u.s. anders fogh rasmussen told the lisbon summit that any delay in ratifying would damage the security of europe and the entire year atlantica 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 countries nuclear arsenals slashed by a third but is being stalled in washington as newly elected republicans outweigh obama's democrats british anti nuclear campaigner kate hudson says the prospect of a world without atomic weapons is far too important to be sacrified or one party is 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 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 shultz 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 . so you're watching on c.n.n. coming up later as the sixty fifth anniversary of the nuremberg trials i remember the lessons of bull or other gotten myself. into if you will name the nations of

the new day. a purely. made fears of rising pro financial sentiment across europe calls her greatest sympathy towards going back to the nazis are invited to play. and i'll see crew has been arrested in the us as they filmed a military training economy they have been accused of taking part in the school assembly and refusing to abate the peace corps base that. way were taken into custody in the state of georgia of the with a number of activists oh she's gay and has the latest from washington. and 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 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 camps kayleen our correspondent said there was no be severely as 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 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 we jail for that is not quite clear right now they could be charged with disobedience to the police or federal trespassing has been covering this who growing public outrage with what's going on at fort benning and his training camp for him our 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 who are

actually due to their show like secure and massacres 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 they are 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 penetrated secret police and some of these prisons which are often referred to as concentration camps and also the general school led the military coup in honduras or trained at the school of the americas which is now called the western hemisphere institute for security cooperation the name change but the practice is there remain kayleen ford our reporter was covering all based on 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 let them go and caylee will have the chance to tell us the

story behind this rally russian businessman big to boot has pleaded not guilty in new york to charges of terrorism and supplying arms to leftist colombian follicle rebels pretty came after he was secretly down to bangkok on tuesday and extradition also said it was illegal. takes up the story. my 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 and 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 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 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 after 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 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 that the u.s. authorities have balls in very serious and profound charges against this russian

citizen we have nothing to conceal we don't consider this case a state 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 because i understand that there were 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 put sure that the united states is going to. distribute to cooperate with the us

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 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. to israeli soldiers convicted of using a palestinian boy as a human shield have walked free from a military court they plan made a ninety year old boy open bags they suspected held explosives during the israeli also not in gaza almost two years ago also his point is here as well 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 in violating human rights and also what is known as these radio 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 longing 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 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 your pals through you have human shields like prayer security 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 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 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 aided the carrying out and that they are the ones who should be faulted book there's also a sense here in israel that this is a case that is meant to alleviate 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. and we'll have more of the week's main news ahead including the pick of twelve people in southern russia that some believe is exposing police corruption after a businessman and seven associates are arrested for the murders the victim's friends and relatives blame local officials who are negligence. the european union

have agreed to a massive bailout for ireland the eurozone second imagine your package this yet the average about mint will get access to up to one hundred billion euros to plug months it's a debts and banking losses which have meant catastrophe for the nation collapse of irish banks could have a disastrous domino effect on a weaker euro economies such as portugal and spain and even threaten the single currency itself dublin repeatedly denied being in serious trouble saying it had enough cash until mid next year before sunday's formal request to help the irish climbdown came after turns e.u. pressure to take the loan to ease eurozone stability borys calls resisted an island of appears of loss of economic sovereignty however also his financial guru max kaiser and on and face is set on and price agreed agreed future on the yuan international monetary fund economic control. unless ireland's willing to give up

its 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 they've brought destruction and economic mayhem you know they're licking their chops waiting to get in there to cause havoc pay themselves a huge freeze give bonuses to their college array of crony capitalists and terrorist bankers and ireland is quitting 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 the i am out 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 caused 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 the trial of talk not as a new hoping to ensure that hitler's horror would never be forgotten but it seems that

some in europe have with the rise and with the rise of fascism highlighted by russia's foreign minister the opening of the museum to mark the nuremberg. notion of reports from. 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 nasa dictatorships work classified as crimes against humanity and crimes against peace of the world and their usage of 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 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 the explain the reasons in terms to justify actions of nazis and their collaborators to make. something of it just fully. understand the annual more. some european capitals court trials against onto nazi veterans and the introduction of this was to go into the cultural heritage of the bull to people who do you have the international community is to fall into new noses. racial hatred. and extremism. to the demons of the poorest getting his three 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 mean moral here in this city but of course the more important thing is not to forget the results of the extra hours of the principles the principles of trast mutual trust and respect it has established. and one of course professor does that comes from the human rights movement world without narcissism so as the revival of ideas in eastern europe is a sign of declining democracy yes people are afraid to speak up. there is a dangerous political and into that show 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 kind of found 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 the two are not equal i do 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 unfair and shock after the

slaughter for children and adults on a country's national unity holiday a fortnight ago with their bodies burned after wards eight men arrested by police are also acts are also suspects and other recent murders and the souls but some fear that corruption and powerful connection could see those responsible. for. grieving relatives and commemorative candles got this quiet rural neighborhood it is hard to believe that this peaceful place in southern russia was the scene of considerable brutality a dozen people including children were stabbed to death in this village of. four out of twelve victims are buried here at the small cemetery everyone who knew these people is in deep shock victor used to work for the amount of family they were farmers he says real hard workers. this is the head of the family circle and his

wife elin and daughter in law elaina and her little daughter a mirror i just can't believe it happened and i don't know who could do something like this the bodies of the victims were found in this house investigators say that killers literally slaughtered everyone who got in their way the owners and their guests there to celebrate russia's national unity date with their met office eight men have already been arrested in connection with the murders and one of them said gates up book is an influential enterprise who is alleged to be the mastermind behind hundreds of other bloody acts of terror that wealthy landowner support is also alleged to have his own private army disguised as a security firm besides many unsolved murders and rape cases the gang is also suspected of record tearing in the aftermath of the horror fear still stocks the streets here with people afraid of being the next big firms of rape and murder.

their neighbor was also killed. not so long ago he and his son are shot right on the porch of their home someone is in someone's way investigators say it may have been city of it and refusal to pay off that cost him his relatives and friends their wives some of the regional police the storm brus as well as local officials have already been fired others are not ordering you to trust the guard the governor may get even stricter punishment should be a bit up today we arrested the gang members tomorrow will continue by getting to those among law enforcement officers and local officials who are traitors despite the fact that gang leaders are under arrest some builders believe that they still may get away with their crimes by using powerful connections in the capital but that according to the governor sure will not happen and yet i assure you and i'm hearing often that these people have backing from someone in moscow on a new york or whatever trust me if they get away i will quit everyone will guess

what they deserve however many of the gang members still at large the tension remains high among the people of the southern russian village this shop community wants justice white behind bars but those responsible for truly horrific murders and clear answers of the hundreds of other unsolved crimes does all of our t. cross in our region. so you're watching aussie's news or he'll the week more headlines in just.
