international news and comment live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day so russia has joined the international pressure against colonel gadhafi and told the libyan leader he has to step down speaking at the close of the g. eight summit being held in france president dmitry medvedev also confirmed it will be sending an envoy to meet rebels in benghazi was going to agree to become a peace mediator in the area but all season he said now he has more now from the town of the new. do yet have wrapped up here in france thank you thanks this was reached on libya leaders agreeing colonel gadhafi must go and that russia brokered the deal new world new ideas host france put that concept on the g eight table at a time when it looks like the old ways aren't working

a war in libya on the front line with the euro crisis in the background leads to questions like this. say tens of thousands of civilians in benghazi oh well he is the man who promised to economic ruin in a never ending war in libya he must go g eight leaders agreed word for word in their declaration about gadhafi saying he has lost all legitimacy now it's understood behind closed doors there was harsh debate on the sidelines russia was asked to step in and broker a cease fire it accepted and will send an envoy and we are in touch with mosul it's the new forces in gaza and representatives of gadhafi we haven't broken a diplomatic ties but he is i think it's useful in any case because we're trying to make closer approaches to sunni reasons for the escalation of violence which is still ongoing we discussed it at the g. eight is not a creation says that we could have a regime has lost its legitimacy the must step down russia's approach to

interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign nations defers dramatically from the west which appears eager to back some countries but not others it's a chance to intervene in libya it does not suit is to intervene in bahrain those and those rational economic geopolitical and should not about. g eight nations agreed a twenty billion dollars support package to arab nations that have toppled autocratic regimes and are struggling to build so-called new democracies on the euro there were statements like this this could also go up because the euro everything that gets raised in the future the euro will threaten europe as a whole. all the while huge spending cuts continue in an attempt to prevent euro extinction so will the mission in libya and spending billions g. eight leaders might have reached consensus on khadafi but can the west now afford to push pick and choose politics even further russia's deputy foreign minister claims

a resolution on syria won't even be read let alone signed by russia after the disaster in the bia the question now about what happened to the rest of the arab world facing revolt for now only syria is a possible target with some g. eight leaders going as far to head a similar u.n. resolution could be thought if damascus doesn't back down but something russia is most likely to use its security council veto to oppose in terms of other issues that came up when it comes to the u.s. and russia its missile defense a longstanding sticking point for the two countries russia still has reservations about american plans here is why. what's. the less we reach a deal before twenty twenty when the u.s. and the missile system is finalized it could trigger a new arms race we have to get guarantees that this is tim is not going to task no one gave us such guarantees but we're being told it's against some countries or pose a threat but we ask those countries are they keep silent. do those countries have

going just missiles they say no so he has the missiles russia has the conclusion is easy is going to talk. about presidents meeting with it and its counterpart rock obama said they were willing to intensify work on the missile defense issue but for now it looks like they're both just laying the groundwork for future politicians. and he said from the bill and after the summit wrapped up president obama headed to poland for talks about missile defense. there should be a nato statement saying that this system will not be aimed at russia we talked to an arms expert who says a joint missile system will be worth making a few guarantees over. the prism of it also spoke about the future head of the international monetary fund during the g eight summit 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 and he spoke highly of the candidacy of the french finance minister but also showed support for change because he's the head of kazakstan as national bank in an exclusive interview with r.t. said that although christine legarde is likely to land the world's top banker job it's only a matter of time before the addition of a european at the i.m.f. is. the speech that her campaign says very nice a message that the developed countries and the european countries would like to maintain the status quo which is not necessarily fair and i think that change is. already started probably do not go far enough. and by the way you can catch the full interview with the i.m.f. candidate. in just a few days from now here on alt. now georgia's opposition

claims that we can also has read his government is under playing how many people were hurt in a violent crackdown on protests on thursday thousands remain in hospital and many including some top opposition figures are missing want to give us first hand details of what's been happening in the c.r.t. sort of joins me now in the studio know it she's been covering events in the georgian capital so you were just back from tbilisi you've just come from the airport to the studio now and you of course were caught up in the violence or story reports during those protests just firstly there are reports that opposition supporters are still being targeted what do you know about that at this stage. of the. main protest and doing or when things with. the police dispersing the crowds we saw at the time the arrests happening and the biggest in the coming out initially. much less than what everyone. thought was the real figure

at the beginning and then since then we've had the ninety administrative arrests and then the sick and injured as well that seems like the civil people who were on the scene as we witness there were certainly heating and injuries there were thousands of protesters a lot of people we still being led into the. pleading. that out and then what we've seen from a lot of the people it is very hard to get an accurate gauge of the information the opposition is saying one thing and the government figures that they're releasing it saying another as we said the government figures from the interior ministry spokesman as they coming out at the scene very slow for what we saw you know it did seem that there were a lot more people here in what about those missing concerns about people going missing. we spoke in front of the people there some relatives or friends of course he knew that people they know were taking part in that demonstration they've been checking the hospitals trying to get information the hospital has been sending to the police the police have been sending them elsewhere if they're not getting this information these people in this. anyway they are talking some of the mothers of

these people who were really hysterical trying to get information as rightly so they seen the pictures of just how violent that was and they don't know where their friends or relatives and sons and daughters are now so incredibly distressing for them and you of course were caught up in the midst of this violence but just violence was fear like before broken into mayhem was there any provocation any reason for why that happened what we saw at the beginning of the protests. breaks the violence happening but at the beginning of the week so i think that everyone who is part of the demonstration in the journalists reporting on it we saw and understood minish quite significantly there were divisions among the still position themselves when they say they have been called for as if they have rage that ended up being called on so even on the wednesday morning when we were reporting the numbers were noticeably less amongst the demonstrators in stoke and then later in the day we marched along towards the parliament building and what happened was it wasn't actually the protesters sanctioned outside the main then the station side to

the t.v. station in georgia into beliefs that was sanctioned so once they started meeting down the streets they break in the sanction ready and we all knew that and we saw the numbers really pick up then as well a lot of people joining in that there's lots of disruption on the streets you know stopping the traffic they got to the main parliament area they were holding the talks out today and again and on this building that it was evening we had back to ready to rain i mean the thunderstorms started really didn't listen to the tools they were still there listening to the talk from the opposition leader of the rally nina picture nancy says she was speaking to the crowds and then it happened very very quickly midnight. there sanctions on the old site run out and it was a very quick and you know it is a very loud speaker saying perhaps we're going to have negotiations that place in the space of about five minutes the police had entered into the crowd and tales. so you can any deviations that the amount of time between then the police sort of reviving. scene and i cannot tell you the sheer numbers i mean that's what really

surprised certainly a lot of the correspondents here he covered then they found it a thousand and seven craters the sheer scale of the police operation was just it was just vast then you know when the number of demonstrators to really justify that huge number and again full throttle asked is the questions being asked today whether that amount of force is justifiable being part of the media i understand that some of the media was targeted in fact one of your colleagues from the spanish r.t. channel was hit by rubber bullets do you think the media were being deliberately targeted did you feel unsafe at that stage if it was when it when it started what you realize is it was just the chaos of the situation is very very quick and the police were not discriminating distinguishing between the old media if you were in the central area outside the main parliament. you were basically fair game to to the people who were given a sort of couple of minutes warning that the police are definitely going to be entering into the crowd like you and me to you wanted to get out there as quick as

possible but yeah i mean we actually had when we look back if that is one of the police officers targeting us with his gun realizing at the last moment that of it's the media as he said my colleague from the spanish i know right behind me as we're running three the gas and you could hear that the police came everywhere and he got hit and he sort of we came across the police officers that i was sort of saying with president the guys that seriously pumped up everyone was very aggressive a lot of people we said they were targeting very old school the toughest over evolution you know it's all people that was quite significant in your report of the time you saw and this wasn't just young protesters that people of all ages all backgrounds and as you say older generation people too now you've just left tbilisi very very recently in the last few hours or so. that violent crackdown all over at the moment would you say that the city is as you left it a fairly quiet state what was the atmosphere when you left various the very first day they had military parades for independent. so deep that there was

a seriously heavy military and police presence again. if you really thought you could feel the control systems in place there is still a very tense situation and what we've had since is that. three have actually received a text message someone who faced. opposition rally. and we're actually checking that hasn't been verified that he actually is what he says in that text message with a lot of his friends and they're saying a lot of the opposition are still being picked up still being targeted they know they go to contact and speak. this is all still going on i think we've actually caught some of the information from these text messages way he's been telling us about the fact that some of his friends he claims have been beaten to death so. we've got some of that text information which you can see on the screen well the

content of those takes is that right which you just did you receive those attacks it was earlier on this. just after we left. we left and we had probably our secret on the ground that they've received this text message i want to see those text messages that we're talking about that to understand that we already know to see them on the screen and. policemen see many people have been beaten to death some of my friends have been arrested there are dozens of opposition supporters that we can't reach and my friends have simply disappeared. right so that's one interesting message. from the messages you've received but this is as he said from and. now with we are still trying to verify whether that is her son he we saw in the process happening need to fit in nicely and her son she was trying to stop him from being picked up because he was put in a police car he was arrested at the time and then released and then you know but you know he actually managed to escape i have say there was some criticism in the

months and then status of the leader of the opposition rally leaving the crowd behind because he had said in her talks and she's going to fight till the end spatial fight to the end and then obviously. she managed to. apparently sending this text and he's saying that the situation is still very very tense and i think you can see a bit more of what he said in that message where he was talking about you know some of his friends being beaten to death by the people that are still missing but the lack of information that's coming out saying so here it is that some of the about text messages. not just bodyguards and most of his supporters have been arrested one of the opposition leaders really. everybody who. saakashvili has basically dictatorship. also thanks very much indeed for your firsthand account of what occurred in tbilisi no doubt

we'll keep an eye on those developments and they will see you back there in the georgian capital in the very near future thanks very much in the meantime sort of course one of their children. well you can find more analysis of the situation there in georgia on our web site and you can also check out our face book account to see the video on the brutal dispersing the protests and the service has been describing film boy crew who caught up in the mayhem that are much more the facebook dot com slash. is. the.

court has ruled pull a bosnian serb army general and 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 that decision the rest of it was a key condition for. and some are suggesting he was finally given up in exchange for membership. of a reports now from belgrade. success or sellout the arrest of former bosnian general outcome luggage has put serbian headlines once again for years no nato action un demands or even a five million dollar balancing put up by washington could help. put the prospect of billions of dollars worth of aid slipping out of reach too much for belgrade a leaked u.n. report stating that serbia refused to cooperate in the search for europe's most wanted man led most to assume membership negotiations would be cancelled and just a week later serbia achieved what he couldn't for the previous sixteen years so if

it wanted to hand him over as the price of entering the european union that every interested in doing it as quickly as possible and the targets government which came into power in two thousand and eight should have done it then and they would have done it but i'm sure if they'd known where he was officials in belgrade very much hope that they can finally get a piece of the euro pie that the people of serbia who lets. low prices. and your mines and your national mood supply western companies and organizations who will be able to get into the european union let's call the war criminals unless again it is going to help you get into this so-called rich man's club but as we can see the rich man's club it once was is having great difficulties itself serbia's it already complied with a lot of east demands including arresting former presidents about milosevic and political leaders that on each each time the response from you has been enough to

keep the dream of membership alive secure decisions you'll play this is very big news this is a very courageous decision by the serbian president this is one additional step for the integration of serbia into the european union one day the arrest of. is a very important step towards for integration of the entire region in our your atlantic community i build that people will also be thinking about serbia and its future in the european union. well i know it's that we will approach that we three new journey because of today but some believe serbia's membership ambitions could simply devastate the country and stead of boosting its economy especially during the ongoing financial crisis of several member states so being media more tightly controlled by the government. has never been under the law to repeat in unison that the e.u. is some kind of panacea that will resolve the problems now if serbia does during

the i think it will be the first time in history that a rat has jumped onto a sinking ship a long and drawn out trial is almost a guarantee and not legally it will be an objective process still it seems for the serbian powers that be no place to hide if they actually did meet. or know a sixty year old general awaits his fate in jail but considering the fact his arrest was one of the major conditions for serbia's potential acceptance into the european union it seems to be a question of when and not if he will face the war crimes tribunal and hague catherine as our r.t. belgrade serbia. and then you can share your thoughts on that story or many other stories see on screen on our website is ulty dot com discussions and opinions are always available for you online twenty four hours a day. u.s. president barack obama is now in poland which is one of the countries set to host
