a very warm welcome to this is the line from moscow with me alice have it now and also the news crew has been freed on bail spending thirty two hours in a us jail they were taken into custody in the state of georgia filming an annual rally they were a military base nicknamed the school of assassins. i'm sorry. i . mean i don't understand. our correspondent dana phone to come around on conway were forced to pay a fine after they were accused of taking part in the for well please tell still considering i'm not the challenge against them for allegedly failing to pay off his instructions for what he is at the center of the story describes the police's actions of a brutal. immigrant it was found it was very stressful we were treated like any

other inmates and of course we were not given any special treatment any special privileges we were actually separated men and women and so i didn't get to to speak with my cameramen hardly at all we could see each other occasionally through the window and we sort of you know communicated with each other to try to tell each other that we were doing ok it's a peaceful protest and never any sort of violence never any sort of vandalism in fact the people who do those protests although they were protesting against the you know so-called school of assassins the school of the americas at fort benning they're not protesting against this town and they've actually enjoyed quite good relations with the surrounding community of columbus georgia they fear however has been different. there were some arbitrary detention there were some arrests of innocent bystanders every year of course people intentionally get arrested to draw attention to the issue that at that school of the americas in the human rights issues of its graduates however this here is many people who are not intending to

get arrested who are merely innocent bystanders including one man who would be owner of a barber shop or also arrested and became myself and my cattle men included for more than thirty hours to learn demonstrators we were covering this as members of the news media accredited to cover this event and so of course you know we've tried not guilty judy charges there's been local charges which have already gone through the system here. even though we weren't offered a trial and then also a state charge which are still pending we had many people who were in solidarity with that side of the jail we got word that more than two hundred people had gathered for a candlelight vigil outside the jail when they had learned we had been arrested those people stayed basically the entire time they stayed through our hearing our arraignment showing solidarity showing support for as we walked in the court room was full. of activists of people in solidarity and people who believed in our in offense and specially as members of the press and our right to tell the truth about

what happened there. well still to come in the program from asian aquatic oasis to deaden deserts. the air all sea has become a wasteland of sand salt dust and pollution i'm wendy france to join me and kazakstan to investigate how this transformation has affected the people here and how it put its stamp on the environment forever. well people in serbia are getting less enthusiastic about their country joining the european union a new gallup poll highlights concerns over signing up to an alliance with having trouble keeping itself together as arafat explains the basics that people are worried about with prices in the shops already rising due to. its government's eyes are firmly on the west in just a few days time so if you will be presented with a questionnaire by the commission and what's seen as an important step in serbia's

bid to join the e.u. for us citizens as was the case for the rest of the continent being part of the e.u. is the certainty for peace and stability a normal life better away from the prairie political rhetoric and the media monks the public in serbia is the first the different in fact a recent monitoring report found that more than half the respondents now viewed. negatively on the other will only listen to the politicians and so focused on joining the. e.u. gives. and it seems that government is being dictated to by the e.u. what you do around impose crisis here are many e.u. countries and they're facing their own big struggles and there are some important questions being posed just how will it help serbia is economy how will the multicultural institutions built after a decade of war be sustained at

a time when leading european politicians hurts. saying that multiculturalism is dead and when unemployment in serbia is so high the promises of a better future translate into actual benefits passed. during. many groups to bring down. any changes the government has also come under heavy criticism from opposition parties for the ill militants selling a state assets in the privatization of the last decade. for ten years the serbian government has been striving towards the e.u. with promises of a better future free cheese is only ever on offer in a mouse trap the government even sold some businesses to partners in the european union oil. industry monopolies have crippled many businesses such as a small dairy farm in belgrade from cow to cart milk production in serbia is now no

longer profitable and it's all the situation changes consumers are going to be getting a drop of the real thing i know they are prices sad were ridiculous and sue farmers simply refused to accept it you know it's hard to find fresh milk in the shops and we're having to sell our coast for meat. we're told that the milk monopoly is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to business corruption is with rich businessmen profiting from the government not strong enough or unwilling to pay for private interests investigation documents showing to r.t. reveal the state loss of around twenty million year is from the alleged and the valuing of the link to the sale of the great money that should have belonged to the taxpayer of course there are certain issues that we need to deal in the close future and the corruption as well. a whole bureaucracy that is still existing here it is. sorrell for

a moment of corruption people here no longer feel like the membership will be the answer to the country's problems and prarie e rhetoric holds nice way when continuing economic instability is affecting the lives of the population serafin. belgrade. or the prospects of serbia joining the e.u. in light of the country's economic and political issues was on for discussion as to nothing sat down with serbian president tonnage we can watch the full interview next hour but has a quite pretty. economic crises. unemployment and the kind of problems are on the top of our agenda and this is a totally true without a strong economy with a real development you cannot defend your state to the national interest but people are not thinking of course always and not the problem anymore we have

a confrontation between serbs and albanians not between should be and cause so because we don't trickle in a score so in the pan this we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians for almost. fifty years and then the end of the day we have to solve that kind of call to call for blocking not only serbs sort of single being is but also a whole region in terms of progress and development the only true dialogue we can achieve some sort of a show that can be acceptable for prishtina great. now russian newspaper has published new details of the joint and they say russian missile defense shield on the sidelines of the alliance summit in lisbon under a new proposal offered by president medvedev the two sides would cover sectors of territory which may have a lot on extend over state borders each side would be responsible for handling rogue missiles flying into their areas of control experts say this plan would allow

both sides to remain secure and independent and to have found the missile systems it's also believed that better strategy would help to dispel russia's concerns over the european system is threatening its national security. and you kind of course find more coverage and analysis of all of all stories at r.t. dot com era just a couple of the features that were lining up today well there we've got details of an extreme delivery truck off the south pole scientists but the russian call again . unique parachuting mission to get fuel on appointments to be on time sir. so you all know the website it's the end of the line for the trusty old. designs will hit the trying to see if maybe it will be good fun i use the model which heralded the electric chair.

now once the walls fourth largest lake central ages our old sea is now famous for all the reasons with ninety percent of its will to last through soviet union irrigation projects is now little more than an environmental catastrophe. the fronts reports the seas demise all say pays is a serious threat to people's health. the air all see is a shadow of its former self those in the kazakh city of iraq once had the sea at their doorstep but are now confronted by the haunting sight of abandoned ships the water is twenty kilometers away and from the dried up remains sickness comes one local woman who chose not to be named remembers when friends and family started

to fall ill. here new diseases a match that we had never seen in high numbers especially related to breathe in my husband's good chronic bronchitis that's how i live you can see salt in the air but you feel it on the skin and you can feel it on the tongue. fields planted to make the soviet union completely self-sufficient in cotton consumes the rivers feeding into the air all sea decade by decade it nearly disappeared now what was once the world's fourth largest landlocked body of water is reduced to a pit of sand salt and pollution. the salt clings to the moist seabed like here at the harbor in iraq as soon as it's dry enough even the slightest wind carries it into the town and across the country into the lungs of men women and children who don't even know they're bringing it before the ground cotton scheme the aerial see was one of the most picturesque places in central asia

as it disappeared along with the soviet union the task of regeneration fell to the heads of newly independent central asian states in the early one nine hundred ninety s. it was then that people learned of the extent of the seized the mines that until that point was known only to those close to the cultivation projects pesticides used to yield cotton leached into the rivers making the water a silent killer used in. the growing days heavily polluted as well. in essence we're living in a disaster area in the past our infectious disease ward had one hundred fifty to one hundred sixty patients especially children with interesting diseases per year it's about five per year and it was the exact same with viral hepatitis this is all frank's to clean water. three years ago a group called the international fund for saving the errol c stepped in to protect

the people from the tainted water. the fresh water project saul's many issues one possible way lead tap water pipes to the villages and to distant villages they grade local water pipes systems but the pesticides aren't just in the fresh water they're blowing across the dusty seabed as well. in addition multi-drug resistant tuberculosis is on the rise exacerbated by this toxic combination special rehabilitation wards are reserved in area hospitals so. our government pays fifty percent of what it calls ecological extras to our salaries they throw an extra for living near bucca nor with the rockets launched and the aerial see we have serious problems with the draft young people come in unfit for service or. small dams now trapped what little water flows into the upper air all see irrigating the desert little by little but walking through this place that's

been given a new lease on life one can see the legacy of mismanagement it begs the question is bringing the water back enough to overcome the years of neglect or is the pollution too great to turn the dust bowl back into a thriving basin lindsay france r t kazakstan. ok look now it's the other news from around the world the sound we hear on t.v. all twenty five people trapped in a flat at home. china has been pulled to safety the men were trapped underground for more than thirty hours before the successful rescue china is considered the deadliest in the world more than its youth were killed in the cold mine accidents in two thousand and nine alone of this incident. thirty seven chinese miners when the gas blast last month. i'm also go about how the
