life on the. video on demand exceeds mine told. her a chance for you now with the palm of your. machine on the. g eight leaders gathered at the french seaside to see if they can turn the tide over the division financial anderson curity issues. a bloody end to georgia's a day of rage against president saakashvili was heavily armed police put a brutal stop the public has sent. to us judges are convicted over dishing out dodgy discipline and making millions by storing teenagers into private prisons for only very minor offenses. and in business is our exploration of russia's of oil and gas which is back on track with shell nothing like it or price b.p.

in the deal bring the full story in twenty minutes time. well why do you use it from the center of moscow this is a party a paradise for the french really historic world war two side today sees an invasion of the g. eight machine the latest summit that's going in the normandy resort off the field it's going to be starting very very soon and i think he said now and she's there for us with the latest the first day it's certainly been set up as a day for the leaders to meet on the sidelines face to face and really get down to the issues in a frank and open discussions and that has already happened there's been many meetings already throughout the day in the summit just begun but the strongest statement so far interestingly enough has come from herman van rompuy in a briefing here of course is the president of the european council. and he said

quote that we will not let the euro fail now this is the strongest frankest statement we've heard about the situation concerning the economy in europe in quite some time we'll be speaking to analysts throughout the day about what exactly that means but it couldn't be assumed that it means that it is a possibility that the euro could actually fail and that european officials are going to do the best they can to try to favorites certainly that will be a hot topic over the next couple of days after this summit also the situation in libya we've already heard a statement from president medvedev after his meeting with nicolas sarkozy they spoke about libya today and they were quite vague in their briefing but they did speak about how the g. eight is a great format for leaders to meet one on one and really get down to the issues and speak openly with each other of course russia and the west see intervention in libya very differently russia tends to be very careful when it concerns getting involved in any kind of internal affairs of

a sovereign nation as we speak president medvedev is sitting down with barack obama obama there again libya most certainly will come up it's expected they will focus on missile defense really cosigning of the strategic arms reduction treaty nevertheless russia has concerns that america is not as transparent as it could be when it comes to its missile defense system plans in europe and we are expecting a joint statement from praful bamma and to meet the need to do but france again a major player and this serious summit is new world new ideas and that is certainly the case when it comes to france's position on the world stage the g. eight has gone full circle the last time the summit was held in france eight years ago the agenda almost the same. war the economy somewhere in the middle eight africa on the table then iraq and boosting the euro now it's libya and saving the euro. only in two thousand and three france had

a very different stance on global politics then it was staunchly opposed to the u.s. invasion of iraq french fries quickly became freedom fries after france u.s. relations soured despite summit smiles but with the new french president came a new friend turkey was a has rejected entirely the possibility of friends playing a constructive role in a multi multi-polar world and has aligned himself with the single superpower the united states nowadays france is barking much louder with more soldiers involved in foreign military conflicts abroad then ever before it's a globalist modern. it's not just the friends it's the whole. global plan to change governments as they want. france played a central role in ivory coast's bloody presidential stalemate and is considered the

unspoken leader of the intervention in libya so he wanted us to participate and to be one of the first. ruler western ruler to to go there and just for his political agenda critics say this new global policy was meant to win over french voters but hasn't worked france is a kind of small united states with many interventions that are very costly and very little thinking about the relationship between rhetoric and the costs and costs is the killer european countries are facing more and more protest over huge spending cuts in an attempt to lower deficits and save a drowning euro the sex scandal involving i.m.f. head dumb and the extras come in might have knocked out a top contender competing against sarkozy for the presidency but experts say dear ask. it was toppled at the wrong time when you still got worries about with the

euro will still be the currency of all these european countries in the next twelve to twenty four months and at the same time spending hundreds of millions forcing their way into the libya conflict they don't see eye to eye but they going to try to regroup around. the idea that it's a humanitarian intervention and the u.n. resolution a resolution that china and russia didn't veto but if claim has been manipulated to suit western interests perhaps there will be an appearance of agreement but if there is an appearance of agreement in my mind it will only be an appearance appearance at the g eight is hard not to notice the venue is usually some exclusive resort town where you can't hear protest over the euro and it's easy to forget bombs are falling in the obeah this year france's beautiful normandy was chosen to house leaders as they sit down to debate some of the world's ugliest problems and

once again are faced with the question of whether the g eight can regroup on splitting issues and he's now a r t v fronts. money matters are weighing heavy across the continent with greece facing a decision to cut or quit the country's european commission a representative said there was now a stark choice to either make more painful sacrifices or leave the euro currency economist alexander or explain to us here and see whether this could be the beginning of the end for the eurozone. the chances that greece exit the euro zone by the day there are two ways out says it is just be very frank about this the first way out is the way out where you go way say where greece is we can't take the austerity measures we've something's got to give and we're going to default on our debt and leave the euro area if not the only other solution is be extreme fear about the. european countries agree to bail out. indefinitely each and every

country which has got problems is in fact in effect a fiscal year year and for that we need work what do we need where we need countries from northern europe to say we accept to pay for us or the neighbors however appear to be extremely unlikely so i think that the issue of greece exiting the euro is probably going to be. an outcome which is going to happen. you would r.t. now if you start to dead gazans hospitalize and hundred ten all of the result of a brutal crackdown on anti-government rally on the eve of georgia's independence presiding over a military parade just hours later president saakashvili claimed the justice had prevailed finishing off what was a bloody and two daughters a day of rage surfing for transmission. of independence a military parade is going ahead. now he was talking

about freedom of speech for the georgian people but that comes on the back of a so extreme force from his police forces last night as they disperse the protesters gathered at the main parliament square now he also. he was going to defend the country from external forces and the protesters yesterday didn't want freedom of speech so they wanted was vixens and violence well whatever the case that certainly happened we saw filing classes breaking out the dispersal happening very very quickly and oh it's a very study some people dying in the violence as it break out and we were actually seeing throughout the whole of that event as it was happening one of our correspondents actually got hit by one of the rubber bullets because they were firing water cannons gas in the rubber bullets into the crowds and we can say more now about what happened violence and. it was held by the opposition is

the day that we did turn into just teacher instead this is the protest out stink presidents like a sheerly ended in violence and bloodshed and he feels riot police moved in on the crowd just minutes after midnight on judges day independence. day and that actually seems to be. the right. ok. we've got to leave that in the background here we've got one on the other side than a space of a surrounded as a police closed in water cannons were fired into the crowd rubber bullets and gas seriously injuring both demonstrators and. a police officer was killed when he was run over by a car and a protest the dies in front of the parliament building the scenes of violence all the more shocking given that many of those involved were of an older generation.

we were standing peacefully when riot police to the ground and started beating me my relatives also suffered they smashed one of my friend's face and left another one unable to stand. you can see from my face the kind of force they used and i think a lot of these people don't value human life. the silver revolution of the older crowd they turned out demonstrating against lay pensions and rising prices for five days they held the main t.v. building in tbilisi before taking their protest to the main parliament. and national numbers of protest this is the weekend after fifty two among the opposition parties themselves they will lead through the streets on wednesday the crowds once again turned out. to force.

them in spaces with vastly outnumber witnesses to the name then the two thousand and seven protests in which six hundred were injured this time around police presence was even greater and the full three year. western civ already being asked about whether the scale of used was justifiable many were arrested and many more injured they did real in the streets the remnants of a violent clash. they set up the main band from which the leaders of the opposition gave the street near the pitch analyse earlier on just before the fighting broke out with think she would maybe be holding negotiations that didn't happen they wanted out but instead the price had pending how it started and things of violent.

well with georgia's political situation on edge he's preparing how this might develop political analyst recall our example of says that angry georgians have their eyes on what's been happening in the middle east. i think it actually a demonstration of course on the part of second street is that it is him i think this is him it is a bit worried about what's happening in the middle is and the situation is georgia in georgia is very similar to what happened in tunisia egypt and libya since two thousand and six go this far and some are foreign or foreign interference in your internal situation i actually think that it's a little excuse of saakashvili that you're a member and i know this predicts several opposition figures where arrested and then two thousand and seven and not ramp i want to cast another meeting with the same excuse was a given and now again back to what concerns western media and the western

politicians we do not see any criticism actually of the second street is or is it and in fact the american ambassador had been a section is sided with the with a gallon mount saying that. demonstrated this violates the floor and board and so on i wonder why he didn't say anything like that they bowed believe me yeah well now they had bells action it took control of they made it very awesome dolls killed several police officers and so on and so forth. full coverage of the developing situation in georgia is online right now if you don't come you can see some of the pictures right now because news video it's now assistance please take a tough line on the traitors and demanding that president saakashvili suppress information and as always are also using twitter stream and facebook which will keep you updated passed over the fence and. he is. to. be.

released. just. the. for more than a decade these pictures of the one nine hundred ninety s. bosnian war have been associated with europe's two most wanted men one of them

rather than cure a judge was arrested in handed over to the war crimes tribunal in the summer of two thousand and eight the other right can learn each had been on the run since one thousand nine hundred five after a un called indicted team of genocide and crimes against humanity the bosnian serb general was born in yugoslavia nine hundred forty two had made a successful career as an army officer when you saw the collapsed both men had to go in there were being torn apart cross those fields and serves what. in one thousand nine hundred three the united nations proved a peace plan to end the infighting and give the nationalities within one state their general knowledge stepped in to convince the boston serbs leaders to reject the deal and push for greater serbia this map shows the front line well we soldiers see the situation where only a map shows there are victories to date. and luggage is believed to be behind

a three year siege of sarajevo when the city were savagely shelled and many streets turned into star alleys more than ten thousand people are thought to have been killed there were native vowed to intervene in one thousand nine hundred five he promised strong resistance which was put in that we certainly would watch those planes attacking us without fighting back and would also attack the territories from which the planes had taken our. instead of a military response to the nato air raids on luggage is reported to have taken hostage some twelve hundred un observers and peacekeepers as a human shield and in july ninety ninety five. forces attacked the un and trolled and played with rubber bullets or where tens of thousands of bosnian civilians and founders. a haven from the service and seeds according to the u.n. tribunal bludge expelled thousands of muslim women and children and ordered the execution of more than seven thousand men and boys it's considered the worst

massacre in post-war you're up. at the end of the bosnian war luggage went to serbia and we don't do military protection until two thousand and two when the e.u. demanded the country give him up if he wanted further integration into the union the war crimes tribunal was certain that serbs were still giving him shelter yes been there ninety nine eight and during all the time being and you remain within your reach of the caribbean already. it can and must be our ethic immediately over the past ten years there have been several raids point secret services trying to hunt him down and he said bloody try to launch subordinates work across the country with a portion of the population still regarded him as a hero and xander shane. just within the past few minutes here president boris touches has confirmed that the man arrested by police is

a wanted for my post and so on me chief glad it's an hour for more on this one of the let's talk to political analyst on historian john laughlin he was waiting for us in belgrade and joined the rest of my radically improve so obvious charges to join the european union do you think well definitely the risk is worth the price which has been. paid whether it will improve its chances it's difficult to say because a lot of people will create will draw the conclusion that because he's been in serbia. somehow being responsible for taking. any paper i'm really skeptical the e.u. membership is for very soon i think that it will have to wait a long time whatever happens. but because the price demanded and the price that has been paid and i think that underlines the political mates are really a place for treatment right now why do you think we see such

a tenacity from the european union in current serbian authorities in efforts to capture melodic. well i personally think it's part of justifying the european or the west approach to serbia. over the last twenty years that approach has been very hostile and aggressive serbia has been very main taken the main blame for the breakup of yugoslavia and for the policy and civil war in my view on fairly and of course the west has created a number of institutions most notably the hague tribunal whose very existence depends on proving very serious therapy and guilt. really is my understanding of why they are so tenacious as you could see it in pursuing and i see you talk about this this relationship between the west and serbia but why did why did the international tribunal on former yugoslavia president mostly serbs while i suspect of other factions of balkan war. wars are very often ignored well because he.

doesn't hit which was. imposed on the balkan conflict very early on the idea of once for instance that somehow connected to a question which is completely untrue the main fighting was obviously in. no role in the war at all what we've been reporting people war was mutual to people and muslims wanted to see from yugoslavia. what he proposed and yet complicated civil war was projected an idea that serbia had some one of its neighbors and a lot of political capital has been invested in proving that he says and that's the reason why i say be the best you determine how to prove it with a straight political indictment all right political analyst and historian john locke and they're talking lots of other breaking news here on r.t. thank you thank you art well with what i two million people in jail the u.s. has the world's biggest prison population and some are seeing the inside of

a cell because dodgy judges are getting payback from the private sector got into kind of courts and i was dishing out justice for three. two pennsylvania judges have made a killing out of juvenile prisoners marc several and michael conahan were convicted of receiving kickbacks for more than two million dollars from the developers of several private detention centers but the real crime according to the parents is that these judges then sent more than five thousand children to those very facilities for crimes as small as fighting on a school bus or posting a parody of their teacher on the web. to get them. to. tell us that i was a god sized sandy fonzo seventeen year old son edward was a budding student and sportsman when he was arrested at an under-age party judge

ciavarella locked him out for six months shortly after he got out edward committed suicide erik's the feinstein was twelve when judge ciavarella sent him to jail for two years for scratching his mom's car while joy writing for this young man was a teenager was locked up for months for throwing a piece of steak it is mom's boyfriend so i really cannot believe that being accused of something like through a steak was all that was a need to be put away the case of the two pennsylvania judges in bed with local private prisons could be just the tip of the iceberg a recent report revealed america's largest prison corporations poor hundreds of thousands into the campaigns of governors state legislators and judges in the hope of advancing their agenda and it seems to be working the number of private prisons in the us is growing rapidly oh their money every penny of taxpayer dollar that they get from the government and so what they do is they get the money from the

government to house prisoners and they turn around and and spend some money by giving it back to the politicians. there was and will. lead to more people be treated more people be more straight it right prisons so it's almost a money want radio tax dollars they're making contributions to judges electoral politics it's sort of like a closed circuit you're making contributions to people who are making the laws and then you're making contributions to. the number of prisons the number of prisoners the u.s. has around two point three million people behind bars seen prison populations pretty consistently over the last three decades move up a couple percent a year and you know unfortunately as a citizen that that's not the most exciting statistic however when you look at it from a business model perspective for the private operators it's clearly good news the good news for the prison business turned into

a nightmare for thousands of under-age victims of the two judges in pennsylvania this so-called half for kids casey and sylvania just reversed incentives to be great the question judge is actually interested in sending it all away for a longer term keeping their benefactress private prisons for white justice and one count on them kind of check out reporting from washington are. not as good as some other world news in brief for you and a triple bombing targeting government buildings in china has killed at least two people and injured six but the homemade devices went off in the city of food which is around fifteen hundred kilometers south of beijing a chinese state news agency says that a local farmer set off the bombs because he was unhappy with the government's handling of the sport. an air ambulance has crashed into a crowded residential area near india's capital killing ten the aircraft was flying
