efforts as criminal justifying nato's actions want to be careful and has managed to do build this one and it's pretty secure back in the early earlier in the decade. arrested mr milosevic and turned him over unconstitutionally at the time has basically been to the i.c.c. why to criminalize the entire political and military leadership of any serbs the former yugoslavia whether it's in. serbia in bosnia croatia and basically out of their entire war effort it's clearly in terrible record criminal and this has been seized upon and use mercilessly by people people in the region who are really claimed to be interior even still as well as a realization such as nato that seeks to justify their own legal behavior in one thousand nine hundred nine and prior. i described it as our has been following the

developments in serbian capital belgrade. we know from various sources that he was arrested in a village called laws that which is just over sixty kilometers away from the capital of serbia of belgrade so just a little over an hour drive we know that he was armed when he was detained he had two guns on him but didn't attempt to resist arrest or. fight back in any way we know that according to some information sources he didn't try to physically disguise himself he wasn't growing a beard or changes appearance in any way but some sources do say that he was very pale which suggested to many that perhaps he would not have ventured outside a lot and stayed in a house most of the time some other sources quoted that he was one of his arms was paralyzed which suggested that it was he had suffered from

a stroke so his health was deteriorating we know that some sources have also quoted that he was staying in a house or very family member and that he was using a fake name this is when this was the name but he gave to the officers who detained him and although it has been since confirmed by the serbian president boris tadic study is in fact the former pows in both in sort of general about a lot of these we know that d.n.a. expertise has also been ordered and that's expected to take around three days to finally confirm that this is indeed the man the hague tribunal has been how they have held at the top position of its most wanted list for war crimes for over a decade we know that he is wanted for crimes against humanity for committing genocide for participating and some even say masterminding nice there but it's a massacre. that syrians are reporting there are you watching r.t. and plenty more on the way including the pentagon's arguable she demands. our

record of predicting where we will use military force so. is perfect we have never once got it right the man in charge however just by spending more of that any other country on defense by frightening financially struggling americans a word people say. the v.a. partner is one help and mediating the libya crisis and are turning to russia which strongly opposes nato led military campaign there their request came during a series of fringe talks at a summit in france as their main meeting enters its second day artes and so now a tells us what lies ahead. a joint declaration is expected from leaders as the g. i will wrap up later today but first the biggest fashion of the summit will take place and this time around there are some new gas delegations from tunisia and egypt will be taking part for the first time there of course the situation in north africa is going to be spoken about very intensely we're hearing also of course the

situation in libya is a very big issue the first day of the summit allowed leaders to meet on the sidelines and by lateral meetings and there libya came up in many of those bilateral meetings between very different leaders and in fact russia was asked by g. eight leaders to be a broker in the libyan crisis and russia did come to the summit with the intention to trying to influence these global powers about the situation in the war torn country they did not veto the resolution to intervene in libya but they have raised concerns about the fact that they think that in one way or another the resolution has been manipulated and it's become not just a mission about protecting civilians another issue that was brought up was the fact that there's a euro crisis that spending cuts are being made a process you're a protester happening yet hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on this this operation in libya and in some of those bilateral meetings president is very different since had

a chance to sit down with brock obama they of course spoke about libya they were a little bit vague about it mention that they exchanged opinions to quote them precisely but they also talked about missile defense now of course russia and the u.s. signed the strategic arms reduction treaty a new version of the treaty last april but russia still has concerns that america is not as transparent as it could be when it comes to miss out offense they do think that work can be done more intensely just trying to come up with new approaches to the solution to one friend iraq that is mostly the missile defense question. probably around twenty twenty so we have to lay the groundwork for future . duration the politicians or the president has said it will continue. meetings on the second day of this sunday will be sitting down with german chancellor angela merkel and also with the japanese prime minister there of course as situation in fukushima is far from forgotten and the future of nuclear energy expected to be at

the top of the talks in that meeting. and he's in our reporting there now russia's he had to agree to take on the road mediator but middle east expert got provides far says moscow's unique position gives it the ads realizing that on the ground the process of weakening and eventually eliminating the dark forces while the opposition in libya is not ready to actually associated in the overturn of that regime so for those the these reasons western leaders have asked russia which by the way very firmly in the security council not to give more power legal power to the allied or to the nato forces to change that regime so the result now is that russia is in a position a unique position between the nato leaders and the regime in libya to do that mediation but again russia is also very interested for its own national security not just because of the promise the dimension remember that it's themis would take over for example in syria or in libya or eventually in other places you know they

could influence terrorism against russia so russia has a keen interest in making sure that democratic elements would come in and not you know a security threat against its own national security. and of the next hour r.t.s. you know what bell grills has crossed our guest over the g eight effectiveness and whether it's war shaped bandwidth them crucial political platform. leaders of the group of eight meeting friends more and more question the usefulness of this elite club of countries is it just the talking shop can it really influence the global agenda like it once did and should the g eight be abandoned in favor of the g twenty. and. the. leading georgian opposition figures as she's being framed by security services

who've released a recording where she seemingly calls for an interest stop rising you know we're going to deny the tapes ability and says her words have been manufactured. and sold to say one and knew what context the race is in the state birth cert but there is one thing i know for sure i never said the time except that with the ability of pseudonyms being victims as full civil war not only did we do everything we could to prevent it but to do to prevent it. the tape was released by georgian police following a night of mass opposition protests in the capital which were brutally dispersed just hours after the crackdown president saakashvili the cleric the government's undying support for freedom of speech during a military parade marking georgia's in a pan a state hundreds of demonstrators were arrested and detained for protesting against leadership corruption parties or for of reports france releases. with thousands of our the police closing in on all sides and we protest is letting out

war cries the main street in tbilisi became a battleground. well the main part of the building now a very different thing to the one the saw violent clashes of right thing on the streets as police try to disperse a crowd of protesters. then gas filled the streets of police quickly moved amongst the disorientated crowds firing rubber bullets and throwing people into the grounds a police officer take aim is our camera man realizing in time he's from the media others were not so lucky meeting my colleague diego who's coos up in the confusion the policeman appears ok very very aggressive with the people and they start to keep all the people they don't make any sense with nothing and then suddenly being told. stomach and realize with some kind of bullet

this kind of politicize the bullet and they give me a name starting. with police last the outnumbering protesters the operation was passed and. the dust settles the struggle continues many are left searching the hospitals for relatives and friends then meeting with. yes here is the least. we told them we came to find fifty million aged between twenty and forty people though and we don't know where they are country hospitals but they won't let us in and they won't give us any information telling us to ask the police. even ninety people have now been placed in what's called administrative arrest it carries a penalty of up to two months in within. the leader of the rally they managing to escape the mayhem in a convoy of to fight to the end they're bringing

a little holiday to. me. i can't trust anyone anymore i'll never come to approach a strength again i just want to be safe and line. at the military parade for independence day president saakashvili spoke of supporting freedom of speech for all georgians many creators is paid a high price trying to have their say. tbilisi. at around five minutes from now shon thomas reveals how south pole scientists stay on top of the world. when the research and exploration is done the guys here have to have something to do i'm from thomas in antarctica and coming up on our team we explore the daily life around billing southeast asian. american ally as it's got a big debt hole to fill and i'm looking out of books the world's biggest fans budget looks ripe to plunder of the fan secretary robert gates is due to leave the pentagon next month warns the cuts would limit the u.s.

military role in the world are the scaling for explains. from another trip as robert gates winds down his time as secretary of defense. he isn't as eager to wind down america's six hundred ninety billion dollars a year in military spending even as the u.s. faces a one point five trillion dollar deficit the defense budget is not the cause of the deficit and debt problem that we have as a country. once the secretary who denounce no bid contracts and redundant military spending in the war on terror the attacks of september eleventh two thousand and one opened gusher of defense spending that nearly doubled the base budget over the last decade the gusher has been turned off and will stay or use his last weeks in office to warn that too many cats could spell danger for the united states and it is important that we not repeat the mistakes of the past. times when the winding down of the military campaign leads to steep and wise reductions in defense he also

warned against closing some of the u.s. has more than one thousand military bases worldwide our record of predicting where we will use military force since vietnam is perfect we have never once gotten it right. there is there isn't a single instance in grenada panama the first gulf war. the balkans eighty. zero zero military spending increased by twenty point six billion in two thousand and ten and nineteen point six billion of that was the u.s. alone other countries are closing deficits by reducing their defense dollars the united kingdom for instance has started the process that started the process greece and turkey which had a long time rivalry. i've had discussions about mutual reduction. virtually all the countries in europe face this problem. but the pentagon budget continues to

grow. the outgoing sex. period defense also called for a continued u.s. presence in iraq even as president obama's timetable mandates a total withdrawal by the end of the year i hope they figure out a way to. and i think that the united states will be willing to say yes when the former defense contractor michael o'brien says the gap is likely to be filled by defense contractors who want to keep the number of soldiers possible because it's a political hot potato but nobody bats an eye one hundred thousand plans for after school work for the same fear of operations. some analysts say america's military spending is too powerful for any defense secretary to control whether he heads into the private sector. it's part of this revolving door culture or not he still i think feels protective toward his interests and he also recognizes that. pentagon.

business in the united states as robert gates prepares to head the reins of the pentagon over it fully implemented at the end of june he says quote all of the low hanging fruit have not only been put they've been stumped and crushed but they think that's across the board many americans say they want to see the pentagon tighten its belt as well killing ford r. t. washington d.c. . a massive fire at a military ammunition dump in southern russia has been extinguished and broke out late last night in the republic of bush hardest on emergency services evacuated more than two thousand people from the area as the flames too cold witnesses described a series of explosions as tank and artillery shells caught fire high caliber rounds are reported to have landed as far as three kilometers from the side before exploding setting alight empty houses and sparking a forest fire after twelve people were injured during the incident while one man died after being hit by a car during the evacuation. but it's not take

a look at some other stories from around the world sauza is of high school university students. police in chile use capital santiago and they're demanding better schools and more investment in education police used water to disperse the crowd which saw bad there are the students were arrested. for drug gang violence in mexico has seen another of mass murder this time a convoy of protel cars was ambushed killing twenty nine in a shootout the bodies and fake military uniforms were then dumped on the roadside or in your board ridden vehicles the countries played by surging firing between drug barons several thousands deaths in the past three years. two astronauts are undertaking a file spacewalk to ever be conducted by a nasa shot crew they installed a fifteen meter pole to the international space station to help repair the damage caused by high and meteorites some last mission for them that are shuttle but there

a strict schedule business hours are between eight in the morning and ten at night where research. work in their labs and in the field while the rest of the crew work around the clock to keep the place running i was there. every year is getting better and better they do the life and everything else we renovate all our buildings and machinery is getting newer and we help the new people and seen the answer to. every person living and working in antarctica who are in their house or whether you're a scientist or researcher a mechanic or even a journalist. and if they are both is gathered together to clean up the. long hours added responsibility and isolation from civilization certainly can take its toll on a person. so finding time to relax in antarctica is just as important as the work. initializations it is i always have something to do when i need to relax i enjoy playing pool well we don't have a store here to buy alcohol to me i have my hobby here that i can always get busy

with i still have some unfinished work and i have set to go for myself to finish them. and as billings hausen is a true russian station like here wouldn't be complete without a traditional banya i but not only does the buildings housing crew keep each other company. when there is a need for even more culture there is outreach to the other stations as well. actually. station russian station of go then it is the wrong place to get crazy to get you know bad about being lonely being on topic land because here we have lots of different international with all of our trainees culina away in france korea and friends all of them trying to keep one big family and many people working together to make their home at the bottom of the planet seem more comfortable in antarctica sean thomas r.t.

thanks for joining me here for our tease business news russia is aiming to become the fifth largest economy in the world within a decade and a move away from results dependency is among the main objectives analysts are stressing the need to export refined products down your cart and still young says the current situation is largely due to a lack of oil refining facilities in the country. i don't think russia is any different than a lot of other countries that have an abundance of crude oil they didn't build refineries and now they find themselves in a position of saying do we want to go see invest billions of dollars to build these refineries because we want to be able to sell the crude bits of we want to be able

to put the crude into those refineries and get the higher value products out of them and put it into the world market right now there are other countries that are actually doing that refining and taking a piece of those profits and i think i think russia has forty rabia vietnam was looking at i think they're all looking at it is a way for them to increase their portion of the take of the crude what with their produce. let's have a look at the markets now oil is on the rise on speculation that the global economic recovery will sustain the demand for crude that's after the g eight save the world economy the strengthening with a weaker dollar boosting the appeal of commodities j.p. morgan expects opec to increase production budgets to meet the global demand. in w t i is close to one hundred one dollars a barrel while branch is trading at more than one hundred fifteen dollars a barrel in asia stocks are mixed this hour the nikkei continuing to lose ground while the hang saying it's almost two percent up petro china is adding almost all. see it all reports its parent the parent company plans to raise its stake in the
