to come to the land in cool general lot of choice to hear or feel be said to the hague but his arrest on genocide charges slogs anger over one sided a war time which. the g eight leaders agreed to spend the twenty billion dollars on a good egypt and tunisia and when you call spurred libya's feet to go. and leading the georgian opposition a figure cries foul after the police released allegedly doctored to save calling for an anti government uprising it's just a day off. a rally that was protesting against corruption.

with r.t. live from moscow where us now is just off the two pm welcome to the program now fugitive unit so the army general ratko lot it has appeared in court in he was arrested on thursday after sixteen years on the run a lot it is wanted by the international war crimes tribunal over the genocide of seven and a half thousand muslims and nine hundred ninety five other atrocities nazis and is are following developments for us in belgrade. a lot of just currently in the building behind us which is the special war court here in belgrade in the serbian capital we know that are his questioning was put off because the official said these health condition was so badly deteriorated that question he could not continue and we do know that his questioning and of course the issue office parks

tradition to the hague is put off until today 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 he was armed when he was detained but did not offer any resistance when he was arrested and he himself said that he did not want to harm that to young boys that were sent to detain he looked very pale and very weak he did not venture outside of his house much we know that according to information like this was working at a country a construction site many of his coworkers are very shocked to find out that this was in fact the once famous bosnian general none of them recognizing him some of course commenting that he looked like a man just a very specific construction site was a project bonser by the european union it was visited by the serbian president bush the audience of many other e.u. officials and local officials so it's very ironic that the man that all of those

people have been searching for for nearly two decades was all this time right under their noses but of course here in serbia many people he was beaten as a national hero and have been already at protests in various cities across serbia including belgrade and the city where of luggage was arrested all the little newspapers carrying quotes from various international officials like the secretary general of the united nations of course the local president for this time various members of the european union russia has also commented on the arrests. saying that it hopes that should be extradited to the hague tribunal he will be able to receive a fair trial. reporting right there well constantine cause the trough who heads the russian parliament's foreign affairs committee says the hague tribunal makes nato's actions in the balkans legitimate. i believe that the last hears of the latest

years of the store to act as a guardian beach here's one. option to justify the previous intervention by nato forces in this conflict and supporting our the. north. of the basic idea may be to prove the. sort of serbs 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 it as proof for a fear. of belgrade based political analyst alexander said that if the market just speaks out in court new details about yugoslavia's break up will emerge which the west does not want revealed. if a tribunal of records does not promise any sort of a fair trial. how did it in large will use it as an arena to voice

their side of the story and the side of the war has been neglected by western media thinks the major revelations will have to do with western involvement and the breakup of yugoslavia and starting the civil war in helping muslim fundamentalists get the upper hand in bosnia and actually take over bosnia. you with o.t. and of us plenty more on the way in including the pentagon's arguable achievements . our record of predicting where we will use military force since vietnam is perfect we have never once got near right the man in charge of a justifies it spending more than any other country on defense by frightening financially struggling and so keeping them safe. a twenty billion dollars fighting fund for egypt and tunisia and yet another call for libyan leader colonel gadhafi to step down they're all among the issues of the

g. eight and j. partners are discussing them now the rule included in that final declaration as a summit does not talk to a close. when i was covering this full force in northern france and. being made there any agreements set in stone at this point. you know by this declaration which i actually have in my hand at least i draft up it is usually seen as a formality really the important work gets done at these kind of time it takes place behind closed doors and we've heard from many different officials that the dialogue here was harsh and frank but getting to the read the declaration it's titled a new commitment for freedom and democracy the first topic on this day summit was the situation in north africa and of course in libya for the first time delegations from tunisia. egypt took part in the dialogue and they were actually promised some twenty billion dollars in aid but questions are rising why countries like egypt and

tunisia and libya are getting so much support when places like bahrain and saudi arabia we're seeing similar types of revolt are not getting very much at all and in fact in terms of syria which is mentioned in the declaration and leaders there basically calling on the syrian leadership to stop using force and intimidation against the syrian people we're hearing from the russian foreign minister that russia has stated that it will not sign any kind of resolution about interference in syria we've heard from russia pretty harsh statements about how they feel the resolution on libya has been manipulated not because it has become much more rather than a mission to just protect civilians so this is some of the dialogue that happened in terms of the middle east and of course the polls and yesterday from g. eight leaders for russia in fact to step in and try to broker a ceasefire in libya we don't yet know if russia will agree to this but certainly when to be made to diffuse this news conference he will be asked that question

whether russia will step in and try to work something out in what is very much a stalemate at this point in libya for you since you talk about the possibility of russia being a mediator in the ongoing conflict and libya possible financial aid to parts of north africa one of the issues being discussed was a washington's ongoing desire to have a missile defense shield in eastern europe running to russia well they were supposed to protect europe from north korea and iran but here they did make some progress between obama and medvedev on that subject. well basically they both agreed to intensify dialogue so they can come up with new approaches that satisfy both sides in terms of national security russia sees any kind of missile defense system near its borders as a threat to its national security and the u.s. keeps insisting that it's not directed towards russia so it's going a little bit back and forth we of course thought russia and the us signed a new strategic arms reduction treaty last year but they have very different interpretations of what that means russia needs something that's legally binding i

had a chance to speak with deputy foreign minister sergei to twelve and he told me what would be needed or some kind of compromise. they are focusing on the practical cooperation as a means to guarantee that this is not something that directs that is directed against russia we want to build our security not on promises but on legally binding arrangements assurances guarantees we have learned from history that promises that times are not valuable. to still a lot of work to do in terms of misfiled defense presents me to meet with you said that he thinks that will happen sometime in the year twenty twenty so not very soon but that both presidents right now are doing a lot of works trying to lay the ground that that can happen in the future politicians all right season is not over the line from the g eight summit thank you . later today there are people held grills his cross told guests over the g eight

effectiveness whether it's more chic a banquet than a crucial political platform. as the leaders of the group of eight need in france more and more question the usefulness of this elite club of countries is it just a 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 of course talk is next hour here on t.v. now a leading a georgian opposition figure says she's being framed by security services who have released a recording where she seemingly calls for an egypt style uprising and you know but it's an outside denies the tapes illiteracy and says her words have been manufactured. it's hard to say when in what context and in which

conversations i said what is included in that tape but there is one thing i know for sure i never said that i accept the possibility of people being victims as for civil war i never thought of any civil war and we did not let it happen she's not a turk was released by georgian police following a night of mass opposition protests in the capital which were brutally dispersed hundreds of demonstrators were beaten arrested and detained for protesting against leadership corruption a day later still looking for their loved ones in hospitals and jail cells with security forces laying hurdles in the way surfacing for trying to cope. with thousands of damaged police closing in on the inside and we protest is letting out war cries the main street in tbilisi became a battleground. well outside the main parliament building now

a very different thing to the one that saw violent clashes a rock thing on the street as police try to disperse the crowd to protest. then gas filled the street if police quickly need to monkey disorientated crowds. and throwing people to the ground the police officer take aim is our camera man realizing in time he's from the media others would not say lucky keating my colleague diego was caught up in the confusion the policemen appears ok they was very aggressively did people start to keep all the people they don't make any sense with nothing and then suddenly being sold. and released it needed some kind of this kind of belief believe me and then i started to run with police vastly outnumber in place test is the operation was fast and severe and the dust settles the struggle continues. many unless searching the

hospitals for relatives and friends then meeting with this. here is the least. we told them we came to point fifty million aged between twenty and forty when people don't need to know where they are come to the hospital 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 into what's called administrative arrest it carries a penalty about eighteen months in prison. leader as they rally they managing to escape the mayhem in a convoy. to fight to the end they're bringing a little holiday to. the biggest i can't trust anyone anymore i'll never come to a protest rally again i just want to be safe and annoying. at the military for

a friend attendance day president saakashvili spoke of supporting freedom of speech all georgians but many protesters paid a high price for trying to have their say. to the fate. you without a lot from moscow now in about five minutes from troy thomas reveals how some scientists stayed on. 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 team we explore the daily life around buildings around the station. it's a quarter past the hour here in moscow america knows it's got a big debt hole to fill and when looking at the books the world's biggest defense budget looks right at the plant but defense secretary robert gates who's due to leave the next month warns that cuts would limit the u.s. military role in the world. couldn't force. 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 dollars deficit the defense budget is not because of the deficit and debt problem that we have as a country. once the secretary who denounce no bid contracts and rejected military spending in the war on terror the attacks of september eleventh two thousand and one opened the gusher of defense spending that nearly doubled the base budget over the last decade the gusher has been turned off and will stay on he used his last weeks in office to warn that too many cuts could spell danger for the united states it is important that we not repeat the mistakes of the past where tough economic times where the winding down of a military campaign leads to steep and wise reductions in defense it's 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 us 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 have a long time rivalry have had discussions about mutual reduction. virtually all the countries in europe face this problem. but the pentagon budget continues to grow. the outgoing. kerry of 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 the united states will be willing to say yes when the time comes for a 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 always possible because it's a political hot potato but nobody bats an eye one hundred thousand contractors go over to the same fear of operations. some analysts say america's military spending is too powerful for any defense secretary to control rather he heads into the private sector which is part of this revolving door a culture that we have or not and still i think feels protective towards its interests he also recognizes that. the guard is big business in the united states as robert gates prepares to head the reins of the pentagon over to leon panetta at the end of june he says quote all of the low hanging fruit have not only been put

they've been scrapped and crushed but basing threats across the board many americans say they want to see the pentagon take in its belt as well healing for our t. washington d.c. . i mean while hillary clinton's arrived in pakistan another country where america's military presence is certainly under the spotlight the secretary of state is there is alarm about on unannounced visits clinton is trying to calm with the water with pakistan which is angry of being kept in the dark over america's unilateral action to kill osama bin laden the action was condemned by the country's authorities as an attack on the pakistani sovereignty. to astronauts are undertaking go for final space walk to ever be conducted by a nasa shuttle crew but you installed a fifteen and you took paul to the international space station to work help repair damage caused by tiny meteorites it's the last mission for the end of shuttle but there's one more flight for the fleet. before it's over time. although not everyone

would reply to a job that meant working in a year around subzero temperatures and an office that's as far away from your home and family as you can possibly get but it's bread and butter to the russian scientists who are devoted to discovery. thomason join them on the shift. building sounds and 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. you think you go in and charge you you have to have a well developed instinct of self-preservation instincts of camaraderie if you don't have them you will be able to help each other because in critical situations here people are more open more crimes and they're always helping each other. and each summer around forty people call this place home and only sixteen people live here year round each day is run according to a strict schedule 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 ideally 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 have to earn their own house whether you're a scientist or a researcher on a clinic or even a journalist. if they gathered together quickly enough but brooch. 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. initially 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 it's me i have my hobby here that i can always get busy with i still have some unfinished work so i go for myself to finish them. and as

billings hausen is a true russian station my fear 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. station russian station didn't go then it is the wrong place to get crazy to get you know mad about being lonely being on talk to grant because here we have lots of different and they're not international t.v. and with all of our trainees q.n. or why in france korea and friends all of them are trying to keep one big family many people working together to make their home bottom of the planet seem more comfortable in antarctica sean thomas r.t. . and there is a move from song tomorrow when he concludes that arctic expedition hope join us for

away from wrong material dependency analysts 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 in now they find themselves in a position of saying do we want to go invest billions of dollars to build these refineries because we want to be able to sell the crude bit of we want to be able to put the crude into those refineries and get the higher value product 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's 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 tape of the crude oil with their producing. ten k. b.p. is looking to buy into one of the largest oil refiners in poland it submitted a bid to acquire around fifty percent in lotus the stake is worth half
