captured and a horde general knowledge waits to hear if he'll be sent to the hague but his arrest on genocide charges starts anger over a one sided war time which ends. the g eight leaders asked russia to mediate an end to the libyan conflict as the annual summit of the top industrialized nations anders its second day. a leading georgian opposition figure price foul after police released an allegedly doctored tape calling for an anti-government uprising this is just a day after a brutal crackdown a rally protesting against corruption.

this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow i'm really joshing welcome to the program fugitive bosnian serb army general rock a lot of has appeared in court in serbia he was arrested on thursday after sixteen years on the run a lot of his wanted by the international war crimes tribunal over the genocide of seven and a half thousand muslims and nine hundred ninety five and other atrocities are disgusting as are his following developments and well great. a lot of just currently in the building behind us which is the special war here in belgrade in the serbian capital we know that our his questioning was put off because the official said these health condition was so bad the future rerated that question he could not continue and we do know that his questioning and of course the issue of

his her extradition to the hague is put off until today and all of the local newspapers have got his picture on his front page that's him after he was arrested of course that's him in his older days we know that according to various sources are he was armed when he was detained but did not offer any resistance when he was arrested and a warning to upload given by the blitz newspaper he himself said that he did not want to harm the two young boys that were sent to detail looks very pale and very weak and that many believe is due to his poor health conditions he did not venture outside of his house much obviously could not go to the doctors for medical help to get any assistance we also know that his right arm was paralyzed many believe as a result of a stroke after the capture of him former president coverage he was still living openly in belgrade and only went into hiding in two thousand and five we know that according to information like this was working at a country

a construction site many of his coworkers a very shocked to find out that this was in fact the ones famous bosnian general none of them recognizing him some of course commenting that he looked like the man but not this of course denying any such similarity cena many people do look like the larger this is a very specific construction site was a project sponsored by the european union it was visited by the serbian president boris tadic and many other he was officials and local officials so it's very ironic that the man. all of those people have been searching for for nearly two decades was all this time right under their noses all the little newspapers hearing all this from various international officials like the secretary general of the united nations and force of the president for the stylishly various members of the european union and the hague tribunal former. prosecutor carla del ponte also

commenting russia has also commented on the arrest saying that it hopes that should be extradited to the hague tribunal he will be able to receive a fair trial. here in serbia many people as a national hero and behold ready protests in various cities across serbia including belgrade and the city where i was arrested we know that a lot of people took to the streets hundreds protesting against the capture of the potential extradition of luggage to the hague tribunal because of course many people view him as nothing but a national hero because you know as i was there and to talk more about the repercussions of his arrest the head of the russian parliament foreign affairs committee constancy and cause a trial thanks for being with us in the program thank you first off though in your opinion what's next for rocco markets. well i believe that he will definitely be

extradited to the hague for the simple reason that this is a national project for sure but this is very much interested in the achieving progress on the negotiation. and. mr miller was a one of the most the strongest preconditions for these programs to be made so he will be extradited to go that all that would be a fair trial i mean there is a believe the hague tribunal is politicized and biased toward serves. well. rumor so. there and if you care to the statistics of. decisions by this quarter you will fly in the up to eighty percent of these decisions. are only twenty percent or above all other nations involved in the previous conflicts together and they do not fly in these statistics convincing one i believe

that the last hears of the latest years of the tribunal story here's a body. here's one point option to justify the previous intervention by nato forces in this conflict and supporting other ports in this conflict but not the serbs so now the basic idea may be to prove that serbs in serbia sort of service in bosnia-herzegovina and elsewhere are the main criminals of the nation being responsible for the tragedy of the former yugoslavia and they can not accept a crew for a fair trial. but constance you know how my idea rest of moderates affect the trial of the former bosnian serb leader radovan card. well definitely these two cases interrelate of there are connected to each other we do not know all the year what

would be the. correction strategy for mr milosevic and definitely russia should not have a case in this case but for us the most important mission is to see that this trail will be clear and we will just. let's now talk about it more in the future perspective what's going to happen to serbia as a country tries to jointly use me now and how likely this arrest of mileage might affect its chances of joining the block and what effects what implications might have. on the country in general future. well as a russian politician i feel sympathy was the serbian current serbian inspirations for membership in the peony union and i believe it will not create any additional problems in old by literal relations between serbia and russia but i have some doubts whether serbia will succeed and this is the relations of the story of

both mr milosevic was frequently used previously in order to explain to builder of why membership of serbia is not possible for now. mr modi cheese dip into brussels has to give other explanations whether these process of. joining of the opinion union would be would be force there or not and take into consideration the current economic financial problems of many countries within the european union they have certain goals for the european union will be capable and will be interested to hear one more transition economy is a member state of the union so i believe the sura bill will be somehow disappointed in the nearest future by receiving other explanations for why the country cannot join the european union immediately reckons it's impressive to our chairman of russia's state duma foreign affairs committee thank you very much for speaking with

us here. belgrade political analyst alexander products says that if not it sticks out in court new details about breakout will emerge the west doesn't once revealed. tribunal's record does not promise any sort of a fair trial but at least. visual user is in the arena to voice their side of the story and the side of the war has been neglected by the western media think that maybe revelations will have to do with western involvement in the breakup of yugoslavia in starting the bosnian civil war in helping muslim fundamentalists get the upper hand in bosnia and actually take over bosnia. well arty's been hearing how in sound minds a lot of his arrest is more about political ambition than war crimes justice serbian international affairs writer sarah trish kind of says state controlled

media is pushing to persuade people the country needs to join the e.u. instead of applauding serbia for finally catching wild which you will see in the western media yet another. sort of reminding everybody of srebrenica and. a thousand serbian media more tightly controlled by the government then they had ever been under milosz and repeating in unison on their turf the e.u. is some kind of panacea to lose all the problems now if serbia does join the e.u. i think it will be the first time in history that a wretch has joined on to a sinking ship. well plenty more on the way here in our team including a panel gonz arguable its events. our record of predicting where we will use military force since vietnam is perfect we have never once gotten it right. the

man in charge however justifies spending more than any other country on the fans by frightening financially struggling americans over keeping them say. the g eight partners help in mediating to levy a crisis and are turning to russia which strongly oppose this nato led military campaign their request came during a series of french talks at the summit of france on thursday where he's now a isn't the resort of debil for artsy fartsy any so well it's day two of the summit but are the leaders still focusing on the middle east. they most certainly are day two always wraps up with a joint declaration but it's pretty much known as a formality nowadays what's important is that these eight global powers along with their guests get to sit down and really discuss the most pressing issues of course the situation in libya is up top of the agenda this year delegations from tunisia and egypt took part in there of course discussions on the spring uprising

a lot of focus on libya and in fact the g eight leaders asked russia to come in and brokered the libyan crisis that's not yet clear if russia will accept that proposal and of course could be looked at it very different ways one getting in the middle of a very nasty situation on the other side russia is a very different approach to any kind of situation in terms of getting involved in the internal affairs of another country perhaps g. eight leaders realize this and this is why they want russia to come in and try to achieve some kind of ceasefire president to meet in madrid will be holding a news conference and we will certainly be asking that question if russia will be accepting this proposal but right now it's hard to say which way it will go. of course now and he said her things between russia and the u.s. as far as the francis concerned as we know that is the bone of contention between the two. that's right president barack obama sat down with dmitri mates rage of in

the first day of the summit and there they spoke about many issues but at the top of discussions there was missile defense it's been a tough sticking point for russia in that u.s. for years now last year a new chief strategic arms reduction treaty was signed russia still has reservations that america is not as transparent as it could be a lot of the dialogue at least that we saw as the press was very positive barack obama saying that he does believe the talks can be intensified so that you will approach is that out of status as satisfied both sides will be found which meet imagery there was very frank he said he doesn't think that's possible in the near future maybe some time in trying to trying to he said mention that now what has to happen is that the groundwork needs to be laid and both presidents from their press conference yesterday we found to think that it's all going in the right direction all right and he's now thank you very much for bringing us the latest from develop

. some stories now leaving georgian opposition figures says he's being framed by security services who have released a recording worth she seemingly calls for an egypt solid rising you know who denies it denies the tapes validity and says her words have been manufactured. and so i want to say one and didn't want context of princes and to stay poor assert but there is one thing i know for sure i never said that i accept the possibility of saloon and being victims as full civil war not only did we do everything we could to prevent it but we did prevent it. the tape was released by georgian police following an eye of mass opposition protests in the capital which were brutally dispersed just hours after the crackdown president saakashvili declared the government's undying support for free speech during a military parade marking georgia's independence day hundreds of demonstrators were

being arrested at the team for protest against leadership corruption as a surfer of reports from tbilisi. with thousands of our the police closing in on all sides and we protest is letting out war cries the main street and civil e.c. became a battleground. but the main parliament building now a very different thing to the one the saw coiling class is a rock thing on the street as police try to disperse the crowd a protest. then gas filled the streets of police quickly moved among the disorientated crowds firing rubber bullets and throwing people to the ground a police officer take aim at our camera man realizing in time he's from the media others would not say lucky getting my colleague diego who was caught up in the confusion the policeman appears ok he was very aggressive with people and they started it all the people they don't make any sense with nothing and then suddenly

being told the pain in my stomach and realized he could meet with some kind of bullet this kind of bullet is rubber bullet and they give me a name for itself. with police last me outnumbering protesters the operation was fast and severe and as the just settles the struggle continues many a less searching the hospitals for relatives and friends then meeting with this. young boy school nurse. who told them we came to find fifty million aged between twenty and forty we're looking for them and we don't know where they are on country hospital but they wouldn't let us in and they wouldn't give us any information telling us to ask the police. even ninety people have now been placed and what's cool administrative arrest carries a penalty of up to two months in prison. the leader of the rally they managing to

escape the mayhem in a convoy. to fight to the end everything else will fall a to say. i can't trust anyone anymore i'll never come to a protest rally again i just want to be safe. at the military parade for independence day president saakashvili stake is supporting freedom of speech. but many protest is paid a high price for trying to have their say. and around five minutes from now almost 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 john thomas in antarctica and coming up on our t.v. we explore the daily life around the one thousand station. american knows it's got

a big fat hole to fill and when looking at the world's biggest a class project looks right to ponder the defense secretary robert gates has do believe the pentagon next month warns that cuts would limit the u.s. military role and the world are scaling for it 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 us bases a one point five trillion dollars 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 contract and return to military spending from 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 gusher has been turned off and will stay on his his last weeks in office to warn that to many cuts could spell danger for the united states it is

important that we not repeat the mistakes of the past were tough economic times where the winding down of a military campaign leads to steep and unwise 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 haiti. no 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 of greece and turkey which took

a long time rivalry have discussions about mutual reduction. virtually all the countries in europe face this problem. but the pentagon budget continues to grow. the outgoing fact. 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 us 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 was possible because it's a political hot potato but nobody bats an eye one hundred thousand contractors school were 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 to one part of this revolving door culture that we have or not and still i

think feels protective toward things interests he also recognizes that. pentagon is big business in the united states as robert gates prepares to him the reins of the pentagon over at the leon panetta 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 for our t. washington d.c. . now everyone would require a job ad man working in a year round subzero temperatures in an office that's as far away from your home and family as you can get. of the russian antarctic scientists who are devoted to discovery. joined them on. billings townsend station it is one of seven permanent russian research stations in antarctica but it's not just the location that makes this place special life here is anything but ordinary. but it

didn't go on you know antarctica you have to have a well developed instinct of self-preservation instincts of kamerad or e. if you don't have that you won't be able to help each other because in critical situations here people are more open we're kind of there always helping each other but there's a lot in each summer around forty people call this place home and only sixteen people live here year round and each day is run according to a strict schedule of business hours are between eight in the morning and ten at night where researchers work in their labs and in the field while the rest of the crew work around the clock to keep the place running. every year is getting better and better their daily life and everything else we renovate all our buildings and machinery is getting newer and we hope the new people in the team get used to it. every person living and working in antarctica to earn their house or whether you're a scientist or researcher a mechanic or even a journalist you have to do chores and if they are gathered together. long hours

added responsibility and isolation from civilization certainly can take its toll on a per cent. so finding time to relax in antarctica is just as important as the work . here today i always have something to do when i need to relax and 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 so i've set a go for myself to finish them. and as billings hausen is a true russian station life here wouldn't be complete without a traditional banya. 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. russian station is goes and it is the wrong place to get crazy to get you know. being the only. because here we have

lots of different international international. all of our trainees and friends career 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. we have today it's time for the world of business with country. hello and thanks for joining us to ask these business bulletin russia is a means to become the fifth largest economy in the world within the decade one of the main object is is to move away from the raw material dependency analysts are stressing this means i mean value by exporting refined products. 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 should invest billions of dollars to to build these refineries because we want to be able to sell the prove it or if we want to put the crude into the refineries and get the higher value products out government put it into the world market right now there are other countries that are actually doing that refining and taking a piece of the profits and i think i think russia's forty rabia vietnam is with me and i think they're all looking at it is a way for them to you could use their portion of the take over crude oil that they're producing. taking a look at the markets now the oil is on the rise on speculation the global economic recovery will sustain demand for crude that's after the g eight save the world economy is strengthening with the weaker dollar boosting the appeal of commodities j.p. morgan expects opec to increase production quotas to meet global demand w.t. eyes closed one hundred one dollars a barrel while branches trading more than a hundred fifteen dollars a barrel. in asia stocks are mixed with nikkei closing the most half of the same in
