take a v.p. is looking to buy into one of the largest oil refineries in poland the company has no assets in europe and i'll say it's the right time for a deal join me and twenty minutes from now for more stories. international news and comment live from our studios here in central moscow this is our t.v. twenty four hours a day russia has joined the international pressure against colonel gadhafi and told the libyan leader he has to step in speaking at the close of the g. eight summit being held in france present a meeting that have also confirmed it will be sending an envoy to meet rebels in benghazi moscow's agreed to become a peace mediator in libya and he said no he has more now from the ville. russia has never had any illusions about colonel gadhafi and the fact that it certainly was

not to play by the so called role quotable was picked for that many officials have problems today from all over the world including of course russia basically in this declaration it says we're worried that daffy let go. of russia under stand that treatment to diminish the final news conference here at the g. eight was hoping more he tells about how russia feels about the situation in libya and the most use we are in touch with both so it's the new schools in benghazi and representatives of gadhafi we haven't broken diplomatic ties but if i think it's useful in any case because we're trying to make closer approaches to reducing the reasons for the escalation of violence which is still doing this we discussed it at the g eight and decorations says that it could be a few regime has lost its legitimacy he must step down russia is pretty much it is really only the only g eight member that could in fact try to zero for any kind of negotiations are the only one that has diplomatic relations like you just heard

from the president and obviously the approach that has been led by the west is not working there's no illusions about that from the g. eight we understand there are some pretty harsh debates behind closed doors analysis of course the question of what will happen in syria the declaration. relatively strong words saying that there are told by the violence that's happening there president visited mentioned in his news conference that sanctions are maybe not the best way that they haven't proven to work very well in the past as well as of course the u.n. resolution to intervene in libya and we're hearing his side that european nations the west could be pushing for the same things happen in syria and some pretty strong words in fact from the deputy foreign minister today here at the g. eight saying that russia won't even be let alone find a resolution intervening in syria after the disaster in the. let me get this out the fence has always been a tough issue between the u.s. and russia and it's a complicated history because so many different treaties were signed last year we

have the latest kit arms reduction treaty known as the start treaty that the sign but it's not really a binding document russia has a very serious problem with that here's why. we have to get guarantees that this system is not just us no one gave us such guarantees we're being told it's to get some countries that pose a threat when we ask who these countries are they keep silent then we'll ask do these countries have any interest missiles you know they do not only has the missiles russia house and the conclusion is easy is saying to us this is certainly an issue that's going to be worked on by both sides for that because the president has unique imitative and dropped the bomb when they met on the fire lines they don't deny that it's a problem but they do agree that more intense work needs to be done to come to some kind of compromise that both sides find acceptable their national security. and

he's an hour away from there bill and off to the summit wrapped up president obama headed to poland where he'll be talking about missile defense well they thought he talked to tom colonnade he's from the washington based arms control association to discuss those plans i think a little later here on. present a bit of also spoke about the future head of the international monetary fund during the g eight summit and he stressed the importance of candidates from developing countries saying that they should be given the chance of taking the job the idea was echoed by prime minister putin he spoke highly of the kind of the c. of the french finance minister but also showed support for. the head of as it stands national bank in an exclusive interview with r.t. said that although christine legarde is likely to lead the world's top bankers job it's only a matter of time before the tradition of a european heading the i.m.f. is broken. is very nice a message that the developed countries in the european countries would like to

maintain the steeples one which is not necessarily for here and i think it changes you may move for fear of a lady. but probably do not go far enough. and there you can catch the full interview with the i.m.f. candidate critically marchenko in a few days from now here on t. so i'll be in court has ruled before but bosnian serb army general recommend that it is fit to stand trial in the hague his family had claimed he wasn't healthy enough to be extradited and the defense will appeal the decision to rest him about it on thursday was a key condition for serbia's e.u. entry and some are suggesting he was finally given up in exchange for membership covering those are of reports now from belgrade. 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 information law this was working at

a construction site a project sponsored by the european union it was visited by the serbian president boris tadic and 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 many of his coworkers a very shocked to find out that this was in fact the once famous general none of them recognizing him some of course commenting that he looked like the man but not as a force denying any such similarities here in serbia many people as a national hero and the whole ready protests in various cities across serbia including belgrade and the city where a lot this was arrested we know that a lot of people took to the streets hundreds protesting against the capture and the potential extradition i would actually love it. constantine calls the job he's the

head of the russian parliament sporran affairs committee and he says the hague tribunal exists to legitimize nato's interventions in the balkans. i believe that the last hears of the latest here is of the tribune all started to act here's a body. here's one option to justify the previous intervention by nato forces in this conflict and supporting other parts in this conflict but not this serious so now the basic idea may be to prove the serbs in serbia sort of serbs and was there has to go in and elsewhere are the main criminals of the nation being responsible for the prejudice of the former yugoslavia and they can not accept it as proof or a fear of. serbian canadian film director and producer talking

a little earlier that people in serbia are being forced to believe in an e.u. dream i think that the people of serbia largely don't even know what the european union is and i think the government is much more keen on convincing them that this is good for them and this is really interesting because something that is good for the people of serbia should be felt by the people of serbia automatically it shouldn't take such big efforts by the government to convince them that this is the right thing for serbia so i think the serbian people are definitely becoming less and less interested in e.u. membership in this this can be seen by most recent polls taken so i definitely could agree that the serbian government is much more keen on serbia being a member of the e.u. than in the serbian people do. by the way you can share your thoughts on that story or any other stories that we're covering here on screen on our website that's our team dot com discussions and opinions are always available for their online. georgian on the opposition there says it's ready to hold for the protests despite

your thoughts he's cracking down on peaceful crowds on thursday they claim because secretary his government is under playing just how many people were hurt in the violence dozens remain in hospital and many including some top opposition figures are missing sarah ferguson the capital tbilisi and sense of this report. with thousands of police closing in on. an angry crater is letting out. the main street in tbilisi became a battleground. but the main part of the building now a very different thing to the one that thought by class is the right thing on the street as police try to disperse the crowd. then gas filled the street as 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

but others would not say lucky including my colleague diego who was caught up in the confusion the policeman appears ok they was very aggressive we did people and they started it all the people they don't make any sense with nothing and then suddenly being told big bang in my stomach and realized they needed some kind of bullet this kind of bullet is probably going to give me on the first lp. scores with police vastly outnumber inquiry testers the operation was fast and severe. the dust settles the struggle continues many are left searching the hospitals for relatives and friends then meeting resistance. yet the fact that here is the least they don't always call us. we told them we came to find fifty men aged between twenty and forty we're looking for them and we don't know where the odds you come to the hospital the wound little syrian and they won't give us any

in plenty more place but dot com slash. u.s. president barack obama is now in poland which is one of the countries set to host part of the planned missile defense shield in eastern europe at the g. eight summit in france he promised the u.s. and russia would find a way to build a system that would suit the security concerns of both well tom coghlan there from the washington based control association joins me live to discuss this thanks very

much indeed for joining us here in our team at that g. eight summit obama promised to develop a missile defense system that would suit both moscow and washington but will it poland which as i've already mentioned will host part of the system. i think will probably want us to have some of the missile defense interceptors based in the country and the plan is the u.s. plan is that they will be they'll be deployed there in twenty eighteen so i think policy beginning when it wants so recently wrote in the new york times he said we do not want any missiles aimed at russia russia clearly still feeling threatened why is it that washington still hasn't convinced moscow that its missiles in eastern europe are not actually aimed at russia. well this is one of the areas where it seems that the cold war simply hasn't ended for russia and russia needs to see that this is to really isn't aimed at russia it's aimed at iran and the middle east but at the same time the united states and nato need to reassure russia that the system is not aimed at them and russia is very clear they want some kind of

written guarantee that says that this system will not be aimed at russia and the u.s. and russia i'm sorry the u.s. and nato should provide that there should be a nato statement saying that this system will not be russian surely that it's a compromise and this is all about cooperation and therefore simply a joint missile defense system is the answer which is what russia wants so why isn't that really being properly discussed with. well they are talking about how to make this a joint system the question is what does joint mean at this point they're talking about sharing early warning information and other radar information which would be a step forward but before they can get there before they can get to a shared system russia needs to be reassured that the system is not aimed at it and again nato and the united states need to make a joint statement to russia saying that this system is not aimed at you this system is no danger to you it's focused on dangers and threats from middle east not from

russia russia still not a tall happy with the way the u.s. has responded so far saying that if the missile defense issue isn't settled by twenty twenty which is quite some way off of course this could actually end in a new arms race that's quite strong talking from moscow is that really where we could be having. it's possible i think what's more possible is that russia will not agree to any additional reduction. in their offensive nuclear forces which is not good for global security it's possible that russia could withdraw from the new start treaty which just entered into force earlier this year so there are a number of negative consequences that could come from this which is which is a shame because really again i think if both nations sit down and talk about this reasonably russia will realize that the system is not a threat to it and the u.s. and nato will find a way to reassure russia so i think they just need to sit down find a meeting of the minds and resolve this issues we can get on to the real issues

which are reducing the nuclear threats that both nations face but it seems that russia is very keen to develop a system and to cooperate and in many ways many would say that that this trust is coming from the u.s. side after all we saw the the latest start treaty nearly derailed by the republicans it seems that there is less positive attitude toward some sort of settlement with the russians than from russia itself. well when you talk about united states i mean there is there is the obama administration which very much wants our cooperative relationship on missile defense with russia and very much wants another arms control reduction agreement with russia certain republicans in the u.s. senate do not want them to think so we have to make that clear distinction between what the ministration wants and what some members of the senate want so focusing on what the administration wants and what russia wants they both want cooperation on missile defense and they both want to move on to a new arms reduction agreement so given that i think there's enough common interest to move that forward and if

a deal is struck what are the implications not just between russia and america for the rest of the world if there is an agreement in the long term but if there isn't it right and it is if there's if the u.s. can reassure russia that this missile defense system is safe for russia then they can move on and reduce nuclear forces and increase efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons around the world and generally make the world a less dangerous place and that's that's in the benefit of everyone and they should do it as fast as they can of the thanks very much indeed for joining us and sharing us your thoughts on the washington based arms control association thank you you thank. well look now at some of the world headlines for you at this stage of the day in our world update the u.s. equities take hillary clinton says american pakistani relations are at a turning point she was speaking during an unannounced visit to pakistan ties between the two countries were strained got to be killing of osama bin laden almost a month ago operation carried out by the u.s.

a warm welcome that. within a mile of. one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is and charge it up and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization sean thomas discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for merely the wildlife in antarctica. and the frogs. expedition to the bottom of the earth are three. buildings transit station it is one of seven permanent russian research stations in antarctica but it's not just the location that makes a. the space special life here is anything but ordinary. people and you know antarctica you have to have a well developed instinct of self-preservation instincts of camera and you don't have that you won't be able to help each other because in critical situations here people are more open or kind and are 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 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. i think. 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 have to earn their own house or whether you're a scientist or researcher a mechanic or even a journalist you have to do chores and if they feel tired bases gathered together a cleanup would be. 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.

in this edition 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. have my hobby here that i can always get busy with i still have some unfinished work so i've set the goal 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 telling tales and 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 to go than it is a place to get crazy to get you know mad about being lonely. and i'm talking about because here we have lots of different and international he waited with all of our trainees q.m. and friends korea and friends all of them trying to keep one big family and many
