jermyn street. keeps an eye on america's high stakes military ambitions in poland as president obama round soft european trip in warsaw. belgrade agrees to extradite former general rug of luggage to the hague of war crimes charges despite his health problems serbia is accused of arresting him only so it can join the e.u. . ga protesters appealed to the e.u. to probe excess harassment following the government's tender planets a crackdown that's left hundreds dead and detained.

broadcasting live from the russian capital you're watching our teeth thanks for joining us a missile defense plans and america's military presence in poland are in focus as the u.s. president wraps up his european tour with a visit to the country well it's something moscow is watching closely especially after obama's promise to try and agree on a system that suits both of their security interests and of is in warsaw forty. this is barak obama's first official visit to poland and the last away get off his european tour a lot of issues are on the table but probably the most important one is the plans for paul ince to helles a u.s. air base which would service hercules military transport planes and f. sixteen fighter jets and also by twenty eighteen possibly helo's short range

interceptor missiles are less interesting because the last time the two sides talked about this sort of cooperation was during the george bush administration which wanted to house the elements of its anti missile defense system in europe here in poland and also in the czech republic while this was usually criticized by moscow which said that with poland here in its neighborhood that would create a direct threat to russia's national security actually for some time this issue was the main stumbling point in the relations between moscow and washington but barack obama canceled of these where and so in fact for some time there was a lot of talk about boosting cooperation between moscow washington and brussels including a possible joint anti missile defense system at the g. eight summit in france the two presidents barack obama and. they also stressed that

such a system has to work for all sides in the interests of all sides but previously america and the romania agreed for their country to halle's elements of its a.m.d. shills on its territory without inviting russia to take part in this project now we've already heard from president meeting with various who said that if this time is he continues the world of me see another arms race start by twenty twenty also quite interesting is that many analysts here in poland including the country's former foreign and prime. mr v.c. there are two there is clearly no threat to paul and from its neighbors and they don't see a point in hell as being so much american military here on a syrian it will seem time if the previous administration here in paul's was saying that if only by close. ties a new g. cooperation with washington can paul and secure its c.v.

the current administration says no they're trying to hold an independent policy from washington and again judging by their action it doesn't really this policy doesn't really fit in the current picture well russia believes a promise is not enough and wants legal guarantees of the u.s. and its allies won't use their plaid missile shield against it but talk alina from the us based arms control association says divisions within the united states would encourage a solution to satisfy both sides. well they are talking about how to make this a joint system the question is what does joint mean and 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 is

them is no danger to you it's focused on dangers and threats from middle east not from russia there is the obama administration very much wants a 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 to miss things 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 what russia wants they both want cooperation on missile defense and they both want to move on to a new arms reduction agreement and given that i think there's enough common interest to move that forward and start to come this hour how opening frontiers is leading to an anxious israel egypt announces that after years of type of fall the egypt gaza crossing will become completely open that's not tel aviv worried and we explain why. now is serbian court has ruled that former bosnian

serb army general rock is there to stand trial in the hague where his family has said he isn't healthy enough to be extradited capturing him has been a key condition for a service e.u. entry and as he got that he now is out of all reports what it was a rest is seen as a sacrifice the country's very willing to make. success or sellout the arrest of former bosnian general on luggage has put serbia and the headlines once again for years no nato action un demands or even a five million dollar balance sheet put up by washington could help snare him but the prospect of billions of dollars worth of aid slipping out of reach was too much for belgrade a leaked un 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. if it

wanted to hand him over as the price of entering the european union had every interest 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 then 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 but the people of serbia doubt it let's. hope right. and your minds and your national supply western companies and organizations who will be able to get into the european union let's call them criminals and letter again is going to help you get into this so-called rich men's club but as we can see the rich ones it once was great difficulties itself serbia's are already complied with a lot of e.u. demands including arresting former president slobodan milosevic and political leaders of their own padgett's and each time the response from the e.u.

has been enough to keep the dream of membership alive and secure this year and this is very big this is a very courageous decision by the serbian president this is one additional step for the instagram of serbia into the european union one day the arrest. is a very important step towards full integration of the entire region in your atlantic community i know that people will also be thinking about serbia and its future in the european union. what i know is that we will approach that we three knew the energy because of today but some believe serbia's membership ambitions could simply devastated country and stead of boosting its economy especially during the ongoing financial crisis of several e.u. member states so the media trying to be controlled by the government to. be. a recruiting unit so good to be you is some kind of panacea that will resolve the

problem now if serbia does during the 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 many believe it will be an objective process still it seems for the serbian powers that be no price is too high if they are included in the expansion for another 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 in the hague. catherine as are about r t l great serbia. and all the way where in new york to ask if the doomsayers are right with turn a dose battering the us and the pacific rim on nuclear alert. i think we're ok the world in. four billion years the sun. but it will be ok we'll find out

if he's the only one seeing the bright side or whether mankind is building up a pile of trouble for the future well that's here in about ten minutes time. now opposition members in georgia are appealing to the e.u. to investigate the government's savage crackdown on protesters during the country's independence day they were demonstrating against what they say is massive top level corruption and accuse president saakashvili of suppressing political freedom the opposition says that hundreds of people are still being held. in jails many others including senior political figures are reported missing and those who continue to speak out against the government say they're being a by what we call rast by special forces opposition leader anywhere that's a spoke about what he sees as the dire state of democracy in today's georgia. georgia has become very similar to north korea where people have been taken to

hospital brought back to to beaten again and taken to emergency rooms were people are forbidden from visiting their loved ones where people are terrorized and where georgian security forces silenced criticism of the government under the threat of more violence this is the democracy we live in i can honestly say that i will have strong doubts where the democratic values even exist in this world if the international community doesn't acknowledge what is going on today in georgia. all drivers opposing voices say they're under some of the most intense pressure they've faced in years believing their governments in terms of biting them out well artists are first was in the square in tbilisi which was the flashpoint for this week's violence and she says dark cloud still hangs over the city. but what we're hearing is in the aftermath of that protest wednesday night is that the crackdown on if opposition is continuing so what we're hearing. is a day of independence military parades and certainly the atmosphere is very said

there was a heavy military and police presence remaining on the streets many of the streets we saw a lot of the people prayed itself were military personnel they went civilians turning out to watch that certainly very severe and what we've been hearing since and is that this crackdown has continued now artie's craig have actually received a text for him as someone who says he's. the leader of the opposition he led the rally and what he is takes three to r.t. is that it's really very serious situation according to him he is a number of people including opposition leaders who are missing and he's talking about people who are still being arrested century saying that the opposition are still being silenced by sacrificially and his government. police people have been beaten to death. there are dozens of opposition supporters can't reach.

just. a few supporters have been arrested one of the opposition leaders really is using the everybody who. has basically dictatorship in the days leading up to wednesday what we saw the numbers turning out the demonstrations were markedly less now they're actually divisions amongst the opposition and cells. in her party are going to come together some of the other opposition parties they call a day of rage that was at the last minute called off a lot of the demonstrators we're talking to they were very confused they didn't know what was happening the evening to on it was quite clear that something was going to happen the police turned the intervention the dispersal was going to go ahead one thing it into the other very very quickly it was extremely violent people for the police it turned out a lot of people saying also it was sort of just justifiable a lot of people thought it was excessive force one of our own correspondents he

works a spanish channel was hit by one of the rather ballots here and if you were outside the main areas parliament then you're fair game to them and that's certainly the force that they were using as we said a lot of questions being asked whether that was excessive force and whether it's justified well you can get the latest updates on what's happening in georgia direct from our correspondents by following our twitter stream and there are also video reports and opinion on the bloody crackdown against protesters what you can look through on our page at facebook dot com forward slash r.t.u. .

now after four years under total lockdown gaza's one and a half million residents finally have a gateway to the outside world egypt's brought the stringent security that israel insisted on for its border crossing with the blockaded region and israel's long struggle to keep gaza's borders water tight depriving people there of the hope of forcing hamas out of power human rights groups like the boss of humanitarian costs for food shortages the second being unable to leave person or treat it as policy or reports on why five propellor staying and is a real headache for tel aviv. this is egypt's border with gaza a place where for years the gates were shut more often than open and only the most extreme humanitarian cases were linked through which meant no more than three hundred people a day volga her mother was not one of them last year she died from cancer of the stomach she had trying desperately for months to leave gaza for chemotherapy treatment abroad but was never able to get the commission she needed to leave. and

i went to the hospital here and they gave me some women and the pain and the gooders are closed this is the reason was for. the new egyptian foreign minister says the decision to close the border was shameful on saturday his promise to open buffer permanently without the israelis is coming true no more will an agreement gone up six years ago between another poster gyptian president hosni mubarak the united states the israelis and the europeans be in place that. monitors access to the crossing and allow television supervise and monitor security cameras from a far. as welching. points and checkpoints so for the same interest of both countries. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live on she puts in a hole i was just eight hundred meters from the israeli gaza border ever since the kibbutz was established nearly sixty years ago it's been on the receiving end of

endless what could and snipers from gaza city the arab caravan i mean it's really here the first receive boarding down we have to run and take their place somewhere or sell them with their ipod poured out of the keyboard sell their everyone in here the whole hairs there are just last month a sixteen year old boy was killed when a can some rocket hit the school bus he was traveling home in people who live here are afraid that what will happen next is their move weapons will find their way into the hands of palestinian militants and ultimately be used against the jewish state sure. if the border already open freely a lot of. really cute. hamas is already loaded is in unison. there we have much more the implications of which are becoming clearer by the day i'm standing some eighty five kilometers away from gaza

but already a grad missile fired from there has hit the outskirts of the city the israeli army is warning that in the next major conflict tens of thousands of rockets what hit tel aviv weapons means is that dating life was raised within not far from gaza is fast becoming a part of his radio life across the country will see our team tell everyone that russia's plan to help bellerose with three billion dollars might be scuttled after the by the russian president claim that forward media inside his country could face severe restrictions a common official. says if that's put into practice it will hamper the a d o president because she accuses some news outlets of exaggerating the country's dire economic situation minsk has already asked russia and the international monetary fund for a bailout moscow was previously said it's ready to provide a billion dollar loan but that it's unlikely to come with conditions. and in a few minutes artie's intrepid sean thomas puts the heat of global warming on ice.

scientists all over the world are debating the global warming is it happening or is it not i'm john thompson answered to go drumming up on r.g.p. we explore with people down here are saying about the subject. a look at some world news in brief now greece's senior politicians have failed to agree on a very set of deep cuts and reforms which are necessary to stop that slide into the fold but the party leaders say that the measures will ruin the country's economy and destroy society and their conditions for the brass a bailout from the e.u. and i.m.f. with other eurozone countries eager to make nice take more of the string. the exiled former leader of one douras is due to return to the small central american country on saturday in the hope it might end the nation's political deadlock bungles a liar was overthrown by the army nearly two years ago but he remains popular among hundreds of the military has struggled for international recognition following the

crew and it's thought that the law its return will help which would advise it. the number killed by a tornado that swept through the u.s. midwest town of joplin has reached one hundred thirty two friday saw the first funeral after the country's deadliest with serious six decades it's now thirty save ninety people on the long list of the missing have been found alive online talk show host laurie harford missed has been asking people whether we need to reassess how we tackle survival during nature's lethal onslaughts. tornadoes ripping down buildings nuclear power plants nothing down are we building our society responsibly our with any forethought at all this week let's talk about that do you think society thinks of long term or they just always think of the short term i hear depends which country you're in. i think americans are very short term. is. why aren't planes made of the material the black boxes be out of.

the way that those are just not enough for thought put into it i maybe dad or maybe there's other things that we're not really seeing maybe it's you know i mean i'm sure a lot of i'm sure yeah some people that it is a it's a big covering conspiracy or i think that it from friends. companies but because. there is no private interests in the new couple of i hope that it's true so maybe if there are people worried about making money so much they make things their part i think we're done this is it i phones i've been there's no thinking past next five minutes do children i do it doesn't my concern you that it does but i think we're ok the world in and last weekend there were four billion years of the sun burns out and it will be ok you know back in the thirty's we said build projects that lasted for for one hundred years well they hope it will to last the hoover dam

is going to last a long time projects like that. they should last a thousand years because hopefully will be around in a thousand years right you put my buddy had to work there using attraction so there's a lot of that to it is a fight against the corporation mainly. because you know i mean it's from a purely economic front of you taking. cost a lot so there was going away and the planet or the corporation. whether or not you think we're building society responsibly the bottom line is with lives and our planet on the line we can always strive to do better. all to get a proper grip on global warming you have to spend some time in the planet's called us climates and artesian thomas reports from deep down under we're scientists are getting glaciers to give us clues as to which way our world is heading. each week

block of lou dobbs heights to the bones and don't glitter on kings george i went to measure twenty nine different markers. by doing so he can record exactly how the glacier changes each year and it seems that glaciers in antarctica are getting smaller yet. the facts are glaciers are changing in size points to a change in climate so right now we know that since the middle or the end of the nineteenth century the majority of the last years are receding it means there is a general warming over climate antarctica provides a unique opportunity where scientists can get a firsthand look at how this warming trend affects the local ecosystem. greater amount of fresh water is coming from the sea which forms of fresh water where on the surface of the sea water fresh water is lighter so there is some

problems with mixing of the water coral which could possibly influence as a structure of. zooplankton and creel are the main source of food for the majority of life in antarctica clearly over the last thirty years in this region the amount of ice which is critical for coral survival in the winter time has declined that means that the area may not support the amount of cruel in the future it has supported in the past penguin species by delhi penguins and chinstrap penguins are declining in this region principally due to that decline in coral even though the overall global trend is pointing to what is in fact global warning some scientists are saying that we're living between ice ages and this is all part of a natural cycle in fact there is some evidence to suggest that we're at the beginning of the next cooling trend. of the mean indicator on the glass here is the equilibrium lay in how to chewed it's the altitudes where the accumulates the minds

of snow equals the males so the mines if they sow to choose gets higher it means that the climate is getting warmer and if the altitude gets lower it means that the climate is getting colder since two thousand and sixty. keeps getting lower. and while scientists have been keeping track of how the glaciers have been reacting to changes in the environment they say it is just one part of a much larger system but we have to keep in mind we don't have a situation where climate change is in the same way all over the planet it's somewhere it is case in warmer summer it's getting colder and somewhere there are new changes are told at the same time which tendency that occurs in which is also changing so is the climate here is constant in the future this can also machine which though not all scientists agree on the levels of climate change most believe that it is becoming increasingly more important to monitor what is happening on our southernmost continent antarctica is

a truly spectacular place it is changing rapidly. more knowledge about what is changing and why can only help all of us understand all the areas of the planet that are going to change in the future so we might have a chance of being prepared for whatever comes down the line in antarctica sean thomas r t well you can see all of science antarctic expedition series online whenever you want to our team dot com all those reports are there and here's what else we can explore on our website the three hundred thousand dollars search for a siberian slogan how you could be in the money if you've got the winning words for a city's motto that's if you're russians up to scratch plus. artillery fire and destruction but this is no war zone this is expired that's gone up in smoke and put it entitled russian towers on alert we report at our t.v. dot com.
