the russians would be so much bryson if you move the song from feinstein. for instance on t.v. dot com. russia should have a stake in the missile shield in europe spells out his ideal world visiting poland but also referring to america's plans to station some of its rockets and planes there. and days again even if he is in the hands he was very he can't there is a military jet at trinity and with difficulty as they are he's had a stroke we had no idea who the man was until the police arrived. the survey is divided over right coming out it is a rest and extradition of war crimes charges will be a firsthand account from the village where the former general was captured. the

u.s. state department calls on georgian authorities to investigate the crackdown on protests that led to several deaths and the opposition there claims its supporters a still being targeted. and using isolation egypt opens a border crossing with gaza partially ending the four year blockade of the palestinian territory. internationally using comment live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. with the twenty four hours a day good to have you with us this hour so russia should be part of a missile defense shield in europe so says the u.s. president he was speaking in poland but despite the comments barack obama reiterated the u.s. is not giving up on plans to host some of its rockets and planes in the country close to russia's borders he got of his going off is in warsaw for.

it has become quite a conflicting picture here in warsaw because on one hand you have barack obama talking about this new stable and friendly level of relations between a russia and the united states and both him and president komorowski 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 the 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 poles to hal's short range interceptor missiles by twenty eighteen now all this comes after another meeting between barack obama and the russia's president at the g. eight summit in france the two beaters also discussed a future possible joint anti missile defense system and seemed to agree that it should work in the interests of all sides in fact the a.m.d.

issue itself was 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 poland 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 it wants to work together with russia then 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 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 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 conflict thing pits are indeed because there's definite positive tendencies when it comes to communication but it's the absence don't really threats in the picture . and radio host and author from chicago stephen lemon told me a little earlier that russia's concerns on the american missile defense system are well founded under is. a fair system isn't worth a defense of the earth which what we understand this is a test the system is an attack system and what america has not any statement is close to russia's border is a system said colin ingrid two hundred miles from russia proper big one a way to intercept russia's response before they even do we. can inflict as much damage as possible but again i scratch my head of ac is it possible we're in

leaders are so let's say if we're going to war with russia i simply can't conceive of their position ever know we have a bunch of lunatics and hopelessness in this country so i don't want anything else . stephen i'm talking to a little earlier on our table along with missile defense g eight leaders also discuss the situation in libya they put pressure on gadhafi to leave while russia said it's upping efforts to mediate a ceasefire was he says its ties with both sides in the conflict puts it in an ideal position to make progress not exclusively spoke to a representative of the rebels to find out what they want to do with the country. first of all i want to point out that our salute here becomes a democratic state and we'll continue to observe all the agreements it's required by international law that transitional council will be working for an axiom of a year after the country's liberated we have a roadmap plan that for sees the creation of a national congress which would be elected by all leaders and people will form an

institutional commission which will create a constitution that will be voted on in a national referendum we hope this will take no more than a year. well later as continued bombing the libyan capital tripoli on saturday and to discuss the situation there i'm now joined live from turkey by mark owen and he's a visiting professor in international relations at will count university thanks very much indeed professor i'm going to so a lot of the g eight summit russia is going to use its contacts with both sides of the conflict there in libya to try and mediate a ceasefire what's the prospect of working with a limited prospects because the rebels feel they have the support of the nato countries not only some of the arab states have already shown much interest in. early on. and union and i suspect unless countries decided they were likely next month also to achieve a military victory there. i'm

so happy though want to talk to russia any more than anybody else because clearly hasn't wanted to wanted to talk to anybody in the past. well he's had some in the last few weeks awkwardness people don't know. the probable causes of it after his conditions are unacceptable to the rebels and the rebels conditions because he has to be talks around here so we're still in a situation where neither side is willing to move troops or to make negotiation so maybe you can't negotiations when i decide to quit presence we have a problem with the rebels they will win because they're going to get more and more support critically british and french technical. has very little reason to make concessions because after all he was threatened with being sent to the hague pretty nice libya. so that's what i thought and so this is

a story to drop and also just to say the love that background noise like i understand is a thunderstorm occurring or an anchor at the moment so we can just about hear one thing i do want to ask you there are mixed messages are they coming over this whole attitude the way that this situation live is being dealt with on one hand we say russia yes they want to start negotiations at the same time today we're seeing nato carrying on with its aggressive bombardment of the country it gives a mixed message doesn't it yeah i think it was really good twelve years ago in the war over kosovo i mean surely nature decided it didn't require enormous ground and russia. to get along and see me right around it and. maybe if this war drags out as that war did for seventy eight days the nato countries may decide perhaps we'll have some kind of compromise and russia will be able to act as a mediator but i suspect at the moment picked trees near him will lead to save said gadhafi has to go. into

a victory or death maybe there is more likely that normal less we've got a closed door is options to go which makes negotiation very very difficult to imagine but if gadhafi does go. he does die does that necessarily mean the end to the ongoing conflict there because after all he's got his supporters there won't they continue to fight against the opposition you know i think unfortunately the first i'm going to be rather naive in thinking that nobody supported our. east and libyan rebels unfortunately libya was a tribal leader i did there are powerful groups who don't want it after all they're also obviously thousands who do and we see in pakistan or to silence this is similar thing in yemen and i think the idea that was simply the people against the tyrant in little bit naive we could hardly have no support it would fall like a house of cards as has happened in other occasions where an occasional atrocious may not in any manner even russian aggression lightly once they couldn't get

a car or people in the case would are sadly there are a lot of. justice or some who weren't right and just finally in what despite the fact that russia has offered its role as a mediator it has been very critical of the nato campaign so far now we've just heard that some russian officials have said they wouldn't even entertain the idea of a u.n. resolution on intervention in syria so where does this actually put the alliance on its humanitarian mission ethos for perhaps future operations well i suppose if we were cynical we might say some of the people in nato would be really mean that they don't have to feel pressure to intervene in an all oil rich country like syria and they combine their activities to or. we should become cynical. as a global agenda which in the future will have to be exercised without a u.n. resolution giving it any kind of resolution after all that's happened in kosovo

trobe years ago so it was not who was worried about getting u.n. authorization is good if you can get it but also we've seen and willing to ask about and i'm a professor mark on them thanks very much indeed for competing against that thunderstorm in the background there in. the got a problem we heard pretty much everything thanks very much indeed for sharing a necklace with us live in r.t. thanks professor not harmed by a bubble. to serbia now and the former bosnian serb army general or that community is waiting for his fate to be announced on monday in serbia a few have been left in difference by his arrest with reaction raging from jubilance to outrage when ati's a cutter in his era has visited the serbian village where a lot it was finally called. well 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. of

a number of policemen that were standing outside the house where a former bosnian general backlot 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 did manage to speak to one woman who was one of a lot of his neighbors. could not it was arrested no one had the slightest idea he was being that his brother lives in this house and did very well two days ago a new man appeared in the hands he was wearing a cap and a military jacket she was moving with difficulty as though he had a stroke we had no idea who the man was until the police arrived pinions are of course divided after the arrest. and to talk a little bit more about what his arrest means for their 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. they're all. that serve. or to the second thing is they don't think that any of those promises made to this problem really come into play should realize. it's just another sort of a national humiliation. you think it will be. a mission promises or presume you're referring to the promises of membership that was given to serbia for the actual people to see a membership really matter will. it might have several years ago the thing is it has become an old and tired story and the more people. listen about it here about the west are actually includes them to 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 get off course i understand that many people here in serbia are very dissatisfied with their tribe you know and john actually believes it can be objective absolutely everything that's supposed to run so far shoals actually was a tribute to set up lame exclusively one side bad guys were picked strunk years ago they were the serbs and the hague tribunal is there to justify western policy here thanks us we are the real culprits. and a facebook page you can find the latest updates on the stories and first hand accounts from our correspondents and remember we're always interested in your opinion on the stories we're covering here on screen and today we're asking what the arrest of recommended twenty screen news a victory for justice or a betrayal of a hero you can go over to facebook dot com slash quality news and how do you say it the economy.

is the. least. thousands of taking to the streets of the georgian capital to protest against the government's violent peaceful crowds two days ago this follows the u.s. state department joining russia's call for an investigation into the crackdown that left several people well earlier my colleague recently showing talked to a reporter who's been covering the events in tbilisi for. the opposition have taken to the streets again this time their main focus isn't on ousting successfully they're protesting against the violence that he's. 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 common area we knew that there was going to be some form of intervention it was scale of the police operation it was really about the scale of the police oppression in one of your earlier reports you said that there was there were many more police and they were protesters the discrepancy in numbers was he mean there were protesters in the thousands and many of them were peaceful and also it was dubbed the silver revolution this is an older generation of faces in the fighting against countries like the place and when the police operation and they were in the thousands in a. very very quick everyone's question now whether 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 and accurate federalism as he said the creators is taking to the streets again because they're deeply unhappy with the way the situation was handled and the ensuing events after the arsenal of

so when you talk about the chaos that ensued what did you see the police wielding batons or was it mace or spray or what were you saying well they turned up and i said at the time it really felt like witnessing a moderate modern day a battle scene they lined the streets on both sides of that street outside the main parliament building so they had the protesters who police surrounded and there were thousands of them they had their own which they were beating on it was very very aggressive. in the space of a couple of minutes here in talks of the tannoy for the rights of the opposition leader about possible negotiations a couple of minutes later they were in the clouds and i like i said has and see those take us everywhere they were rubber bullets. because i didn't you say one of you're a force of one of our colleagues marty espanol was a victim of the violent yes let's punish correspondent at the time he got hit by rather bullets as he were trying to get out of that scene and many of the tennis were in fact injured colleagues so the chances of getting injured in this but when you saw that the methods of violence being used by the police what kind of injuries

were people sustaining 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 the area when when it kicks off you need to get out of there pretty sharpish because they're not going to discriminate you know a young journalist protestor they were just in there and it was extremely chaotic it's hard to get accurate information as a lot of people are still trying to track down relatives friends and family who they knew turned out of the demonstration they're not able to find where they are the figures that are coming out. it's very hard to get an accurate reading on who they're witnessing it 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 now she says the number for the people who are there what you see is much more. georgia's opposition says the government is staging a witch hunt against everyone who took part in those protests and speaking exclusively to r.t. opposition leader you know would you not see it said many of those speaking out

against president saakashvili get detained or disappear. well you know a lot of people who are small have been arrested in government giving us any information about them. unfortunately we received an updated. to more. persons hope. i am afraid that this people a little happier to be ten years until there is and then a car. full of people for all of them otherwise it's impossible to imagine that the forest the lawyer and the tribune of their raid and special forces and special department because they know that people are going to. increase their very brutally do this we are receiving this information you can see my security officers just to get immunity in the jail. because it's a hell of a she probably. has details. that we have that for example

lease so. there were some rumors here people in police indicate so basically end of story so coming up police know it's a terrible and what is very important today we're receiving information that some of the people who are middle east peace who king four and couldn't find. their family fully assented and they arrested him as his sisters and wife's. father where you can always follow how the events in georgia unfold on our web site now online you can find out how critics say the persecution of opposition members is going beyond all reason and that's after one protester who threw a chocolate bar of presidents is really was sentenced to three months in jail this and much more for your nazi. causes blockade has been for four years of total lockdown egypt over the border crossing for pedestrians giving a great way to the outside world for one of the whole million and stimulates the

crossings accessible to anyone except men aged. eighteen forty visas the border was closed off to harass seized power in gaza with israel hoping the blockade would help force the group our human rights groups like the massive humanitarian cost from food shortages to the sick being unable to leave the simple treatment but as policy reports a 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 lit through which meant no more than three hundred people a day but water hamada 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. and i went to the hospital here and they gave me some women and put it in 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 rough or permanently without the israelis is coming true no more willing agreement gone up six years ago between the not opposed to gyptian 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 cameras from a far was watching. you tube. points and checkpoints and for the same interest that was going through. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live on she puts not whole hours 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 cuts and snipers from gaza city but out of fear of any meaning when we hear their first receive calling the hour we have thought and take their place

somewhere i said there with that i pulled pork on the keyboard so there are everyone in here the whole area there are just last month a sixteen year old boy was killed when a car some rocket if a 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. used against the jewish state sure. if the board will be all paid for really. really cute. how much is already the old it is in your nation paying they really 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 tel

a bit of reckless means is that dating life was raney's living not far from gaza it's possible becoming part of his way to life across the country to see our team. the new government's opening of the border with gaza isn't the only egyptian decision that's made headlines around the world the court there has fined the country's leader hosni mubarak and to be ministers ninety billion dollars for cutting off telecommunications internet and mobile connections were disrupted for days when the popular uprising began in january actually it is currently in custody pending trial on corruption charges and his involvement in the deadly crackdown on protesters. the other world news in brief nato has continued the libyan capital a rare day time. with nato saying it was targeting the. leader personally strikes come off to jail leaders put pressure on him to move will russia said it's being efforts to mediate a cease fire. in china over thirty five million people are estimated to have been

affected by a devastating drought along the river it's the worst recorded in half a century on the many problems the regional faces are shortage of drinking water and severe losses of the agricultural industry. in the area until the beginning of january. and droughts the latest natural disaster that's spurring ever greater numbers of doomsday theories and some experts say they're a sign that people need to build their futures with greater responsibility well long lived talk show host laurie half and it's been asking 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 at all this week let's talk about

that do you think society thinks of long time or are they just always doom 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 box me out of. all this like you know we that those are just not enough for thought put into it i just maybe that 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's a some big of a conspiracy or i think that it from friends the companies but because. there is no private interests in the nuclear power plants that i hope that it's true so maybe if there are people weren't worried about making money so much they'd make things better for i think we're down this is it and i phones i pads there's no they can pass next five minutes you had children i do doesn't my concern you than it does but i think we're ok the world in and last weekend they were four billion years the

sun burns out so they will be ok you know back in the thirty's we used to build projects that lasted for for one hundred years well they built it will tell us that hoover dam is going to last a long time. just like that. they should last a thousand years because hopefully will be around in a thousand years right you put my buddy had a worker he's in construction so there's a lot of that too it is a fight against the corporation mainly. because you know i mean it's from a purely economic front of you taking. so so who's going to win the planet or the corporation. you know it's whether or not you think we're building society responsibly the bottom line is with lives and our planet on the line you can always strive to do better.
