groups they say that this is not what the u.n. resolution was intended to do although of course in the defense of this kind of action the people who are proposing us are saying that. himself is a direct threats to his a people so the aim of this escalation which will target infrastructure and we're not clear also infrastructure actually means but it could include things like bridges power stations water supplies things that would put the libyan people significantly on the back foot for the next ten years while those kinds of things are rebuilt the aim of this escalation is to target congress which does smack of regime change of course we've also seen the international criminal courts request for its judges to issue arrest warrants to three people going to them is of course colonel gadhafi himself the other another one is his second eldest son who of course was educated here in london and had widely been seen as the best chance for a negotiated peace with these regime and the other man is also new see who is good

at these brother in law and the head of the intelligence services now the chief prosecutor is alleging in a statement that he made that these people were directly involved in attacking civilians shooting at demonstrators and shelling various things among them funeral processions and what's going to happen now is that the judge is going to evaluate that evidence that we think that's going to take about four weeks and they're going to decide whether to confirm those charges and issue international arrest warrants which would put his son and his brother in law on the international wanted list symbol ten years to that debate in parliament there will be a protest held outside downing street to try to bring members of parliament attention to the plight of libyans antiwar demonstrators will be calling for an immediate cessation. the intervention we've seen in a poll that was done for the daily mail newspaper that shows that seven out of ten britons fear that libya could turn into another iraq that process will also try to

draw attention to the price of what people are calling thousands of refugees who are running away from the airstrikes who are being ignored completely by nato according to them. reporting right there now a russia has a reaffirmed it will take measures if the u.s. and nato can spin you with a european missile defense plan without taking moscow's view one of the foreign ministry says it will be forced into and quote appropriate response from moscow has been a concern of the alliance his failure to guarantee the project will not threaten russia's security washington has painted leading efforts for the miss out shield in europe saying it will help to protect the continent from countries like iran and north korea russia wants an equal part of the project but there's been little progress so far in reaching a compromise now let's talk to russia's envoys in may so when speaking to me terry . good to see you sir so nato has repeatedly said the project is no threat to russian security why does not not accept that assurance. or would like to see that

the week of. would like to reserve the real guarantees from knew that its side because of. some. system that the missile defense program must not forget what i say it's ok but. who will you kill confirm it and how it's possible to do it i would like to serve a real legal veteran to use sort of difficult mission or some agreement to the new system installed in the field particle for me to. currents of the present the sort of took your assertions that the potential that we would like to hear from her and to use through the set up in the presidential administration and on war right now and last year's a lisbon summit russia and nato they agreed to work together on the european and he missed our project with the alliance has not been quick in drawing in moscow and

why why do you think that is. a little summit. needs to discussed the possibility to perforate in this case and the president of. the. possibility of russian federation civil war started the discussion. about the overall imposition of the russian federation in the european missile defense system but the nato invitation serious thing so we can from the stand. in what kind of position we were invited by nato or predators so we called that the duty of the next summit to involve you in when presidents obama and the beautiful. hope to find some solution of this that is the situation so it's an invitation will to leave final decision. from russian point of view we do understand that it's possible to create the kind of system we need

a real business between the united states and the russian federation insufficient. in the stability of. rolling forces but in any case if first step for should be in determination of a conviction or fifteen you mr walker's are saying a step talking about the architecture of the missile defense of moscow previously warned that a new arms race will start if nato posts here its plan do you think the alliance is actually taking this into account there's a certain decisions very strange because we can continue can follow up the talks. diplomatically and through tricks but it's a sense i we receive information that of romania missile defense base. of the players towards reinstalled the system we believe for the use of your system

on t.v. but aegis of vessels or so. it seems to me that nobody would like some find the final solution but the process is going by the united states without pay. just in the cold for european the russian correction for a key picture of the system so the system. i think that if we would like to go start some scene some people think of cooperation we have to find. the architecture of the plan of use war and after dark we can. we can start to decrease in the peace of peace building the more we will find a solution for missile defense without a picture. of the corporation or no let's let's turn our attention to that libya after news conference today russia's foreign minister called for and media to stop the bloodshed and the start of talks. aimed at the coalition as well do you think.

you know for libyan situation it's pretty simple from from russian in. russian position we are. within the limits of should to report any if it every week to the security council of the united states is what. some countries would like to do how it's possible to implement the resolution of the support of course but from my point of view and from the point of view of my colleagues from the russian leadership we can see the upset. you know some absolute that just middle of the not some full symphony. or some just some interpretation of the official interpretation of the it was allusions on or on the libya situation so. it seems to me that it's

a real violation of. very important points of the solution well for us a good to go for good right to retreat regards in the russian envoy tonight i thank you. let's hear more of what russia's foreign ministers had to say about libya so we're left office adamant that the time for talking is now and for the men needed rather and to the ongoing violence look at the system as we do so we are interested in immediately stopping the bloodshed in libya so that in the interest of the libyan people as well as libya's neighbors and the whole international community the process returns to a political course and the talks on how to build a new libya can begin as well as realizing overdue reforms and we reiterate our stones that the u.n. security council's resolutions should be carried out strictly according to the mandates and overstepping these as we see now should stop. a bit more on the libyan conflict from independent journalist james corden has been closely following these

developments mr. court is ready to arrest warrants against the could actually regime on charges of crimes against their own people how how likely is it that i could have been his right hand man will never see the inside of the hague. well that's a very good question and one that we'll have to see as it plays out but i think it would be easy to dismiss the international criminal court's appeal for an arrest warrant for his crimes against humanity as it would be easy to dismiss that as something of a farce especially when the considering that the international criminal court's prosecutor's office now admits that not a single member of that office actually bothered to step foot in libya to investigate the crimes against humanity with which he is charged all of these are coming into regularly from. groups that are on the record admittedly being funded by such organizations as the international republican institute b. national democratic institute and freedom house and other groups that most board members like james wolfensohn and madeline albright and john mccain and other

members of the american political aristocracy as it were so on its face is something of a farce i think but it would be easy to dismiss it in that way but i think this is actually sets a very troubling precedent in the realm of international jurisprudence where we see the idea that for all intents and purposes and you go do your political foreign policy can now be justified through to ridicule action in this international criminal court simply by seeing and and that i think that's a very new and troubling precedence in international jurisprudence that when you talk about the geo political agenda here let's talk about gadhafi saying that he says he will make he will never go quietly he's been taunting the allied intervention military saying i'm in a place where you can't reach me but do you think you think with these now charges of crimes against their own people does this mean that this will be the opening stages to an an affable ground operation on getting soldiers on the ground that you

think. well i think that's exactly the point of this latest maneuver and that was demonstrated amply enough within hours of this arrest warrant being asked for by the prosecutor we have the head of the british armed forces general thirty with richards coming out and saying that now suddenly he and nato forces are justified in killing khadafi if they can and in even bombing the infrastructure of libya and so the ludicrous nature of the entire operation is exposed in unmasked for all to see and that here is a humanitarian intervention that is now literally going to be infrastructure for the libyan people and setting the country back it is as one of your earlier reports today said on the basis of humanitarian intervention that's supposed to help the populace again it makes no sense on its face unless it's understood that this is simply an attempt at regime change and it is now being supposedly justified through this very troubling president of an international criminal court being able to

dictate what happens within the boundaries of a sovereign country and that's not to say that i'm on the side of the gadhafi regime by any means but i think the president is being said here is of much wider scope than what we see playing out in libya so there are many parties that are saying that the tension is going to be on the parameters of the original u.n. resolution one nine seven three now if the international courts determines a prosecutor could i think what about probing nato's strikes and the likelihood of many civilian casualties. got a case to answer to. surely they do and i would be very surprised to see that i think that's exactly the point to be international criminal court is not to go after. other interests in fact we see today and fresh reports of gathered around age agents from malaysia now being fired on by the israeli military we're unlikely to see benjamin netanyahu being called to the international criminal court to answer for war crimes and we have prima facie evidence of george bush and tony blair collaborating to to bring about the. the iraq war is

a war of aggression the supreme war crime but we have voted down the street memo and other documents that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt and yet we see absolutely no call for them to come before the international criminal court so so yeah i think we'll see this president used as a way of do you think we allow we need all countries and we need your head you want to interests to dictate their foreign policy through this court right independent journalist james corbett thank you thank you very. well european a finance ministers are likely to have to dig deeper into their pockets to give more help bankrupt greece as well as finalize a package for portugal as they all gather in brussels greece has already been a bailed out by the e.u. and the i.m.f. it needs more cash as its failing to grow things is expected to announce further austerity cuts if it wants to secure more desperately needed funds however in portugal the company economy there is now awaiting a seventy eight billion euro rescue package over the next three years while just

across the border in spain which is suffering from record high unemployment levels protests against deep economic cuts turn violent as artists are a further quarter from madrid the country could be next in line. that's greece then ireland and now portugal as the usa is bailouts by the numbers there are now serious concerns that spain could be the next to topple a testis throughout europe clamoring to paste even more taxpayers' money being plowed into rescuing others. you will have. to. think again. that if. i don't think that my bank says that it really was forty three hundred twenty five that is why i didn't like the labor market. there's no side of the thing i think that the. it's going to be inside this is only

. will you say where we will be millions in the year is things problems weren't enough there is now talk of greece defaulting on its loans even potentially accepting the year altogether and portugal's recent bailout is reported to be worth around seventy eight billion year but spain is the euro zone's fourth largest economy the different challenge altogether if it fails. if the situation happened the markets would not manage it buying out of spain's debt is the most catastrophic scenario for the e.u. what will the e.u. do i think and many experts share my opinion that the e.u. will do the utmost to avoid the scenario would any cost because spain is too big to fail. then you got to. the big question now is just how much longer can the usa continue bankrolling those going bust as aspiring tech crisis continues to

escalate there is a ministers are struggling to maintain a united front. for financial survival for such countries a spain would seriously injure the euro it could lead to the use of two currency zones in europe a strong group of countries using the euro and the rest not using it. thank you for taking the play down speculation that would be the next month see her parent out this problems continue to raise fire and now portugal the possibility of spain becoming the next year i think the teeth of that from a very real threat and right now the european idea and the reality that it seems so far apart that i'd say the dread. going after you know from moscow now it's ready troops have killed at least sixteen people after opening fire on protesters marking the thing. that palestinians were displaced by the

creation of the jewish state thousands of demonstrators trying to get into the country from syria lebanon and gaza that's got more there's nothing on the center for arabs in israel so prime minister netanyahu has said that the country is turman to defend its sovereignty because this justified do you think israeli troops firing on a protest. annoyed don't think. along this behavior i think what's going on boy. or you know all over the last few years is to use. against those that i think would be dealt with also by the national community. you know most people that were coming also from the syrian border very been even also in jerusalem in colombia. where civilians nonviolent. and i don't think that according to their international

law they should be treated in such way sixteen people have been killed and nearly all that have been injured and i think it's about time that the international community will act on paul does the responsible such reaction which the demonstrations were mostly peaceful we see footage here the show is quite the opposite i mean there are thousands of protesters basically storming the borders surely the tro the troops israeli troops can stand aside how else do you hold back thousands of angry protesters do you think. look you know you have to take in consideration of that as we talk about you know the going on heights is occupied according to the international law israel should not hold golan heights the same thing when we talk about what about even the gaza border in along. the border there should be the border in two state solution between the west bank and the occupied territories. and soon we talk about the west bank in the west bank is occupied gaza

somehow hold by the israeli army all over our own and israel allow access from the sea all from the. point so when we talk about the borders of israel is that i don't have borders the day is why is all compiling all these areas and people have the right to you know according also to the international agreements israel have responsibility to take care of that if you g.'s and of the people got out of living under the occupation if it's in the west bank or even in the going on when you talk about international recognition or international obligations here as you were saying israel's actions are often the hard line from the gaza blockade for telerate but none of the major players talking about sanctions or even a military intervention why why do you think that is.

there is i think the bill standouts in the international community when any. community is acting immediately and i'm happy that the international community for example is acting against the regime when they surely civilians in libya and i think it's important that the international community will use sanctions views international standards to hold countries responsible civilian security i think in the case of israel we see all over the history of double standards and i think it's very important to hold israel to the international community stand outs on that. you know like we are already over forty years of occupation of the occupied territories and over sixty three years without the solution for that if you just problems that have been created all of the in for so when you talk about that arsenal community the international community have

responsibility became consideration that the creation of the state of israel was takin actually the decision solution was done by the u.n. i think it's about time that the u.n. i'm going to rational community. there is really public and there is really policymakers and decide what they want they want one state solution or solution but they can't all three million people are sharing without taking a decision what actually is allowed in war and what i'm from here in the law by saying that all arab citizens are and there's very little that's all the time we have for this today thank you. but you can always get more on that what's happening around the world at r.t. dot com here are some of the items that you're looking at right now on our web site and the celebrations over osama bin laden's killing take a turn i suppose suggest to most americans. morality cheering on someone's death.
