one pm in the russian capital you're watching r.t. thanks for joining us our top story 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 that was something moscow is watching closely especially after obama's promise to try and agree on a system that suits both of their security interests igor biskit of is in warsaw for r.t. . this is barak obama's first official visit to poland and the last a leg of his european tour a lot of issues are on the table but probably the most important one is the plans for poland's 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 hell's short range interceptor missiles are less interesting because the last time the two sides

talked it out of this sort of cooperation it was during the george bush administration which wanted two thousand peace 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 ends 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 to that such a system has to work for both 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.'s shield on its territory without inviting russia to take part in this project now we've already heard from president neatly division who said that if this tendency continues the rule that means 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 crimea. mr b. c the answer 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 its syrian at the same time if the previous administration here in paul's was saying zanti only by close very close ties and new to cooperation with washington can paul's secure its seat

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. while russia believes a promise is not enough and wants legal guarantees that the u.s. and its allies won't use their missile shield against it but tom cleena from the u.s. based on skin troll association says divisions within the united states want to encourage a solution satisfy both sides. 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 istomin 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 like those 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 and 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. moscow and washington have signed their first contract to use multi-purpose russian made helicopters in afghanistan well the deal for twenty one aircraft is estimated at more than a three hundred million dollars it is the first of its kind b.m.i. seventeen cargo helicopters can carry up to thirty six passengers and will be in

afghanistan until roughly the end of october the u.s. previously bad russia's arms export a corporation seeing it violated the nuclear nonproliferation agreements but even so america bought weapons for use in afghanistan and iraq through intermediaries to avoid direct contact with a russian company. and still to come this hour how open in france years is leading to an actual israel egypt announces that after years of tight control egypt gaza crossing will become completely open and that's got tel aviv worried and we explain why. a serbian court has ruled that former boston serb army general rothko blood it is fit 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 serbia's e.u. entry and as a couple of reports a lot of his arrest is seen as a sacrifice of the country's very willing to make. success or sellout the

arrest of former bosnian general outcome luggage has put serbia and the headlines once again for years no nato action un demands or even a five million dollars bounty 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 a 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 it 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 that 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 the people of serbia down it collects. all price.

and your mind. small western companies and organizations who will be able to get into the european union let's talk all the criminals and that way again that is going to help you get into this so-called rich men's club but as we can see rich once club which once was great difficulties itself serbia has already complied with a lot of e.u. demands including arresting former president slobodan milosevic and political leaders. and each time their response from the e.u. has been enough to keep the dream of membership alive and secure this year this is very big news this is a very courageous decision by dissident presidents this is one additional step for the answer gratian of serbia into the european union one day the arrest. is a very important step. for 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 new journey because of today but some believe serbia's membership understands could simply devastate the country instead of boosting its economy especially during the ongoing financial crisis of several e.u. member states so be media more privately controlled by the government with very. good military repeating in unison. the e.u. is some kind of panacea good will resolve the problems now if serbia does during the think it will be the first time in history that a wretch 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 know that 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 made. catherine as r.t. belgrade serbia. now after four years under total lockdown cause us one and a half million residents finally have a gateway to be outside world well egypt's drop the stringent security that israel insisted on for its border crossing with the blockaded region israel's last trouble to keep gaza's borders water tight depriving people there and the hope of forcing hamas out of power or he writes groups like the massive humanitarian cost for food shortages for the sick of being unable to leave for a simple treatment because policy reports a lifeline for palestinians is a real headache for television. this is egypt's border with gaza

a place where for years the gates was shut more often then opened only the most extreme humanitarian cases were late through which meant no more than three hundred people a day but while the. her mother was not one of them last year she died from cancer of the stomach she had tried desperately for months to leave gaza for chemotherapy treatment abroad but was never able to get the permission she needed to leave her in a world of the hospital here and they give me some women and the pain there and the borders 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 post egypt and president hosni mubarak the united states the israelis and the europeans be in place that agreement gave e.u. monitors access to the crossing and allowed television to supervise and monitor security through cameras from

a far was working. boards and checkpoints that for the same interest of both countries. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live on people and the whole 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 rockets and snipers from gaza city to our caravan in meaning when we hear the first receive falling down we have to take their place somewhere i sell them with their i pod port on or off of the keyboard so they'll everyone in here the whole area there are just last month a sixteen year old boy was killed when a kid some rocket hit us he was traveling home in people who live here are afraid that what will happen next is that more weapons will find their way into the hands of palestinian militants and ultimately be used against the jewish state.

if they go there will be open for really a lot of. really cute. hamas is already the old. given your nation. will 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 israeli army is warning that in the next major conflict tens of thousands of rockets will hit television episode means is that dating life was reagan's living not far from gaza is fast becoming part of his way to life across the country to see our team on television. and in a few minutes sorties intrepid to shunt hamas puts the heat of global warming on us . scientists all over the world are the building the global warming is it happening or is it not i'm john thomas in antarctica and coming up on r.t.e. we explore what people down here are saying about the subject. our 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 well they were demonstrating against what they say is mass 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 are those who continue to speak out against the government say they're being a violently harassed by special forces opposition leader and you know butcher that's a spoke about what she sees as the dire state of democracy in today's georgia. georgia has become very similar to north korea where people are beaten taken to hospital brought back to jail beaten again into consumer agency rooms where people are forbidden from visiting their loved ones where people are terrorized and where georgian security forces silence 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 whether democratic values even exist in this world if the international community doesn't acknowledge what is going on today in georgia. georgists opposing voices say they are under some of the most intense pressure they faced in years believing their governments intent on wiping them out all artists are for 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 the person of that protest wednesday nights is that the crackdown on the opposition is continuing so what we were hearing he says they said it was a day of independence military parade and certainly this 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 at the parade itself were military personnel they were civilians

turning out to watch that certainly very subdued and what we've been hearing since is that this crackdown has continued now parties created have actually received a text for someone who says he's needed to. lead. opposition he led the rally i want his takes three to r.t. is that it's really a very serious situation according to him he has a number of people including opposition leaders who are missing and he's talking about people who are still being arrested essentially saying that the opposition are still being silenced by cyclists really and his government. people. some of them for. the reasons of opposition supporters can't reach france have simply disappeared. i'm just going to go out and support. one of the opposition leaders which is really. the everybody

who. has basically. there is leading up to wednesday what we saw the numbers turning out the demonstrations were markedly less there actually divisions among the opposition themselves. in her party against some of the other opposition parties they called a day of rage that was at the last minute called off a lot of them in space we're talking to you they were very confused they didn't know quite what was happening in the evenings you on it was quite clear that something was going to happen the police turned and we knew that the intervention the dispersal was going to go ahead as one thing leads into the crowd that happened very very quickly it was extremely violent the number of people with the amount of police that turned a lot of people say off it was sort of just justifiable a lot of people thought it was excessive force one of our own correspondents he works the spanish channel was hit by one of the rubber bullets and if you're outside that main area of parliament then you're fair game to them and that's certainly the force that they were using as he said

a lot of questions being asked whether that was excessive force and whether it's justified that was r t correspondent sara firth and you can get the latest updates of what's happening in georgia direct from our correspondents by following our twitter stream and there are also video reports of opinion on the crackdown against protesters which you can look through on our page at facebook dot com forward slash r t new. well let's have a look at some world news in brief now greece's senior politicians have failed to

agree on the new set of deep cuts and with the ones which are necessary to stop it sliding into default but the party leaders say that the measures will ruin the country's economy and destroy greek society there are conditions for the massive bailout from the e.u. and i.m.f. with other eurozone countries eager to make greece take more of the strain. the exiled former leader of the address is due to return to the smaller central american country on saturday in the hope it might and the nation's political deadlock manuel zelaya was overthrown by the army nearly two years ago but he remains popular a whole hondurans of the military has struggled for international recognition following the coup and it's thought that zelaya has returned will help legitimize it. the number of 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 twister in six decades hit of already saved

ninety people and a long list of the missing have been found alive all my talk show host laurie harper this 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 melting down are we building our society responsibly are with any forethought at all this week let's talk about that do you think society thinks the long term or are they just always doomed to think of a short term idea depends which country you're in. i think americans are very short term. i think europe is. why aren't planes made of the material the black boxes me out of. you know those are just not enough for thought put into it i just 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 are going to say it's some big government

conspiracy or i think that the friends. companies because. there is no private interests in the nuclear weapons that i hope that it's sure so maybe if there are people worried about making money so much they'd make things better but i think this is it i phones i pads there's no they can pass next five minutes you'd children i do does my concern you that it does but i think we're ok the world in and last weekend there were four billion years in the sun burns out and it will be ok you know back in the thirty's we used to build projects that lasted for for one hundred years well they're built to last a hoover dam 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 body or workers in construction 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 that 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 with the planets called us climates artesia thomas reports from deep down under where scientists are getting glaciers to give us clues as to which way our planet's heading. each week all of noodles hikes to the buildings homes and glitter on kings george island to measure twenty nine different markers. by doing so he can record exactly how the glacial changes each year but it seems that glaciers in antarctica are getting

smaller. if i put our glaciers are changing in size points to a change in climate and i know we know that since the middle or the end of the nineteenth century the majority of last year's are receiving it means there is a general warming over. antarctica provides a unique opportunity where scientists can get a firsthand look at how this warming trend affects the local ecosystem some greater amount of fresh water is coming from the sea which form into a freshwater where the surface of the sea water pressure water is lighter so there is some problems with mixing i was a water coral which could possibly influence the structure of the opening to zoom plane can and krill 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 wintertime has declined that means that the area may not support the amount of cruel in the future that it has supported in the past penguin species adelie penguins and chinstrap penguins are declining in this region principally due to that decline in crude 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. on the back of the mean indicator on the glass here is an equilibrium lay in altitudes it's the aisle to choose where the accumulates the minds of snow equals the males of the minds if they sow to choose to get higher it means that the climate is getting warmer and if the altitude gets lor and means that the climate is getting colder since two thousand and six this altitude 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 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's getting warmer some where it's getting colder and somewhere there are no changes at all had the same time which tendency occurs in which area is also changing so if the climate here and right now is constant in the future events can also change although 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 southern most hartnett antarctica is a truly spectacular place it is changing rapidly and more knowledge about what is changing and why can only help all of us understand there are other 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
