talking about this new stable and friendly level of relations between a russia and the united states and both him and president come out off he have said that it's very possible that russia will be part of a future joint anti missile defense system in europe but then on the other hand barack obama has just confirmed washington's plans to quit an air base here in poland on its land which would service. military transport planes and f. sixteen fighter jets and also more importantly for a polls to house short range interceptor missiles by twenty eighteen all this comes after another meeting between barack obama and the russia's president need to be good if at the g eight summit in france the two leaders also discussed a future possible joint and the missile defense system and seemed to agree that it should work in the interests of all sides in fact the a.m.d. issued surface of the sensitive one for moscow for years it was the biggest

stumbling points in the relations between russia and the united states so now it's really unclear of the purpose of the strong military presence by the united states here in portland especially to moscow since it's been saying that this country is under no direct threat from any of its neighbors so now many analysts are saying that if washington war wants to work together with the russia that it has to provide legal guarantees to moscow that it's under no threat 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 need to be reassured that the system is not aimed at it and again the nato and the united states need to make a joint statement to russia saying that this is to me is not aimed at this. system is no danger to you it's focused on dangers and threats from middle east not from

russia so it's quite a conflicting picture indeed because there's definitely positive tendencies when it comes to communication words the actions don't really fit in the picture. of according to all the missile defense system that was only one of the issues discussed at the recent g. eight summit in france the chances of a un resolution on syria and the operation in libya and much much more all outlined in president medvedev speech you can find in full on our website that's our team dot com. waiting for his fate to be announced on monday and so few have been left indifferent by his arrest with reaction ranging from. when i. visited.

was finally. we did manage to talk to some of the people of course it was saturday and quite early in the morning when we made our trip and the village itself was credibly small very sleepy lots of people gardening and basically the only thing that was odd it was the large amount of journalists. a number of policemen that were standing outside the house where a former bosnian general that's come out it was actually arrested and you could feel that the people of that village were not very happy with the amount of journalists present they were very keen to talk to them but we didn't manage to speak to one woman who was one of his neighbor. knowledge was arrested no one had the slightest being that his brother leaves in his hands and had a very low again when the man appeared in the hands he was wearing

a cap and military jet into his meeting with difficulty as though he's had a stroke we had no idea who the man was until the police arrived it's helping ins are of course. after the arrest. and to talk a little bit more about what his arrest means for the serbian people i'm joined live by mr alexander who is a political analyst here in belgrade thank you so much for talking to us now. what does it mean for the people of serbia are they happy about it are they not happy about it. because they don't first of all because. you're all somebody will protect and serve from another genocide like. the second thing is they don't think that any of those promises made to this. come into play with real life still there . it's just another sort of a national humiliation so anything tangible being gone. return they mention promises i am presuming you're referring to the promises of e.u.

membership that was given to serbia for the actual people to see membership really matter but it might have several years ago the thing is it's it's become an old and tired story and the more people. listen about it the less they're actually includes them they actually believe because all they're seeing is any money that comes in from the outside winds up in the pockets of a very few people mostly the politicians they try to you know of course i understand that many people here in serbia are very dissatisfied with that they tried to you know and john actually believe it can be objective absolutely everything that's has been done so far shows it actually was a tribunal just set up lame exclusively one side that the guys were picked twenty years ago they were the serbs and the hague tribunal is there to justify western policy here that says we hide the real culprits. a lot of our reporting right now

also use a facebook page you can find the latest updates on the stories and of first hand accounts from our correspondents and remember we're always interested in your stories we are covering today we're asking what the arrest of all. we do is it a victory for justice or the betrayal of a hero going to go on to write a book called. is. he with the line from moscow it's good to have you with us now thousands have taken

to the streets of the georgian capital to protest against the government's violent dispersal of peaceful crowds two days ago as follows the u.s. state department's call for an investigation into the crackdown and opposition those speaking out against president saakashvili are still being targeted earlier i spoke to. covering the events. the opposition have taken to the streets again this time their main focus is announce things like the silly protesting against the violence that was used when states cracked as he said at the time the deployment of the police didn't come as a surprise to any of us here when they leave the main part in an area we needed there was going to be some form of intervention it was that scale of the police operation it was really the police operation in one of your earlier reports you said that there was there were many more police than they were protesters absolutely the discrepancy in numbers was he i mean there were protesters in the thousands and many of them were peaceful and also it was dubbed the so revolution

this is an older generation of demonstrators in the fighting against the lake and rising food prices and when the police operation turned up and they were in their thousands in a. very very quick question now was the operation was justified whether it was just . that amount of force certainly many people on the ground we all felt that it was and it was very chaotic and a lot of injuries were sustained it's very hard to gauge an accurate figure on this and as he said the protesters taking to the streets again because they're deeply unhappy with the way the situation was handled and the ensuing events of the north so when you talk about the chaos that ensued what did you see when you were with police batons or was it based or spray or what were you saying oh they turned up and i said at the time it really felt like witnessing a moderate modern day a bustle seemed they lined the streets on both sides the street outside the main parliament building so they had the protesters and police around and there were thousands of them they had their own materials that they were beating on it was

very very aggressive and in the space of about a couple of minutes here in talks of the tannoy friend or rather the opposition leader about possible negotiations a couple of minutes later they were in the crowds and i like i said has and see those take us everywhere they were rather bullets and center because i didn't you say one of the early reports of one of our college marty espanol was a victim of the violent yes our spanish correspondent at the time he got. i rode the bullet as we were trying to get out of that scene and many of the journalists were in fact injured a lot as i judge and colleagues so the chances of getting injured and those who would use the methods of violence being used by the police what kind of injuries were people sustained it was just very aggressive they were walking into the crowds and just basically grabbing anyone that was in front of them in the genesis of the war and here in that area when when it kicks off you need to be out of there pretty sharpish because they're not going to discriminate you know a young journalist process so they were just in and it was extremely chaotic it's hard to gauge accurate information is a lot of people who are still trying to track down ballot is friends and family that they had they need turned out at the demonstration they're not able to find

where they are now the things that are coming out. it is very hard to get an accurate reading on. their witnessing and it seems extremely low the numbers that they're releasing and we know that they're. they're saying the numbers of people in hospital in their cities we saw many more injuries and that's exactly the number of people who would see as much. well coming your way in a few minutes here an artsy look at some recent catastrophes are making people think more about the planet's future and. it's there's a big even as the next five minutes we ask people on the streets of new york what they think of the raging tornadoes and near nuclear disasters. plus another ticking time bomb of many think is threatening mankind global warming party troubles to antartica the sea of the continent with the world's coldest climate is getting hot under the collar. gaza blockade has been eased after

four years of total lockdown egypt opened a border crossing for pedestrians giving a gateway to the outside world for one and a half million palestinians the crossings are accessible to anyone except men aged between eighteen and forty who do require visas the border was closed after hamas seized power in gaza with israel hoping the blockade would help to force the group out human rights groups cite the massive humanitarian cost from the food shortages to the sick being unable to leave for simple treatment but as artie's paula reports the new lifeline for palestinians is a real headache for tel aviv. this is egypt's border with gaza a place where for years the gates was shut off and then opened only the most extreme humanitarian cases were let through which meant no more than three hundred people a day the volga 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 permission she needed to leave. then i went to the hospital here and they gave me some women and now the pain in there and the borders are closed this is the reason why is some 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 israeli. is coming true no more with an agreement drawn up six years ago between the not opposed to gyptian president hosni mubarak the united states these raids on the europeans be in place that agreement gave e.u. monitors access to the crossing and allowed to live to supervise and monitor security cameras from a far and. a good. points and checkpoints saw that it was the same interest of both countries. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live on 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 so she was scared and i mean when we hear the first missile falling down we have to run and take their place somewhere i said though with the right of the keyboard. everyone in his whole area there are just last month a sixteen year old boy was killed when it was some rocket hit the school bus 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 sure. if that border will be open for really a lot of him. in the hamas is already. is in unison. they really have much more the implications of which are

becoming clearer about a 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 this means is that dating life was reagan's living not far from gaza is fast becoming part of his radio life across the country since the r t tel aviv. just past quarter after the hour now here in moscow you with art see the russian capital and washington have signed the first contract to use russian and made helicopters in afghanistan a deal for twenty one a cargo aircraft is estimated at more than three hundred million dollars it's also the first of its kind it comes as the u.s. secretary of state made a surprise visit to pakistan amid a breakdown in trust between washington and islamabad its key to u.s. operations in afghanistan asia times correspondent pepe escobar told r.t. that the u.s. is losing control over pakistan and. this is. a belt and dangers this is

a sense that we don't usually associate with people there in afghanistan the war in afghanistan will still to morrow if the u.s. does not have access to transportation routes in pakistan so we can see limply that the americans are hostage of the pakistanis if they need to solve the afghan war so it's only available ok we give we give you won't break tree one point five billion dollars a year in you cure the bad guys for us it doesn't work right that it's not a real it's not a relationship between. equals zero and c it's a sad truth but the relationship you know we sure do you want to do and the pakistanis stablished now say oh we're fed up with it i don't know such i got some other world news headlines for you this hour and nato has continued bombing the libyan capital tripoli on saturday a rare day a daytime airstrike has hit the compound of colonel gadhafi with nato saying it was

targeting the command center and not the leader personally the strikes come after g eight leaders put pressure on gadhafi to leave russia said it's upping efforts to mediate a cease fire. in spain and the austerity protests have turned violent as police clashed with demonstrators over one hundred people. countrywide rallies over sweeping cuts started about a fortnight ago after two years of recession the country is now faced with the highest unemployment rate in the year a major problem. in china over thirty five million people are estimated to have been affected by a devastating drought along the yangtze river it's the worst recorded drought in half a century and among the many problems the region now faces are a shortage of drinking water and severe losses for the agricultural sector no rainfall is forecast in the area until the beginning of june well the droughts the latest natural disaster that spring ever greater numbers of doomsday theories some

experts say there are signs that people need to build their futures with greater responsibility online talk show host laurie huff and it's to ask people on the streets of the big apple if this really is the time to change. tornadoes ripping down buildings nuclear power plants melting down are we building our society responsibly our with any forethought it 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 think it depends which country you're in. i think americans are very short term. why aren't planes made a literal black box me out of. like you know we that those are just not enough for thought put into it i may be net 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 and friends. companies public so. there is no private interests in the. i hope it's true so maybe if people weren't worried about making money so much they'd make things better i think we're done this is it and i phones i there's no they can pass next five minutes you had children i do doesn't my concern you know that it does but i think we're ok the world in and last weekend there were four billion years the sun burns out and it will be ok you go back in the thirty's we used to build projects that lasted for for one hundred years well they built the both of us the hoover dam is going to last a long time. they should last a thousand years because hopefully will be around in a thousand years right you put my body or work or use 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. saw it was going away and the planet or the corporation. who knows 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. now will we see the icy last years of our planet's coldest continent turned into lush green valleys this side of a burning issues are being tackled by antarctic scientists as aussies trying thomas reports. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is antarctica and people have to be aware that they're far away from civilization sean thomas

discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for many the wildlife in antarctica is. the friends of. expedition to the bottom of the earth. each week. hikes to the. glacier on kings george island 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 no we know that since the middle or the end of the nineteenth century the majority of the last years are receding it means there's 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 slam to the sea which forms a fresh water where. surface of the sea water freshwater is writer so there is some problems with mixing of the water coral which could possibly influence a structure of the plankton zooplankton 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 krill survival in the winter time has declined that means that the area may not support the amount of cruel in the future that it has supported in the past penguins species i believe playing wins and penguins are declining in this region principly do that because i am cruel 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. because i mean an indicator on the glass here is the equilibrium lay in how to choose if they are to choose where the accumulates the minds of snow equals the mail so the mind if they sell tickets gets higher it means that the climate is getting warmer and if the altitude gets lower and 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 somewhere it's getting warmer somewhere it's getting colder and somewhere there are new changes of told time which tendency occurs in which an area is also changing so is the climate here and right now it's constants in the future events can also change

much 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 southern most can't 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 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 our team now you can see all of sean's on talk of the expedition series online and when ever you want to see all of his reports are that way i mean here's what else you can just roll on our website right now altering five hundred mass destruction but this is no war zone and ammo dumps going up in flames putting an entire russian. also
