the. russia should have a stake in the missile shield in europe the rocket bomber spells out his idea was visiting poland but also reaffirms america's plans to station some of its rockets some planes there. in serbia there's a split over recommend that it is looming extradition on new crimes charges on people from the village where he was arrested say they had no idea the former general was living next door. they were arrested not as suggested by. the children opposition says the government's now targeting the families of dissidents thousands of whom are still missing after a volley crackdown on protests two days ago. and easing isolation

egypt opens up all the crossing with gaza partially ending the four year blockade of the palestinian term from. international music comment live from our studios here in central moscow this is where the twenty four hours a day good to have you with the south russia should be part of the missile defense shield in europe so says the u.s. president who 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 even to spin off is in. 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 joints anti missile defense system in europe but then on the other hand barack obama has just confirmed washington's plans to equip 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 helles short range interceptor missiles by twenty eighteen now 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 n.z. missile defense system and seems to agree that it should work in the interests of all sides in fact the a.m.d. issue itself is a v sensitive one for moscow for years it was the biggest stumbling point in the lesions between russia and the united states so now it's really unclear of the

purpose of the strong military presence by the united states cure in pool and 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 one 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 the nato and the united states need to make a joint statement to russia saying that this is tim is not aimed at you 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 picture indeed because there's definite positive tendencies when

it comes to communication but the absence don't really fit in the greater radio host and author from chicago stephen lemmon told me earlier that russia's concerns on the american missile defense system are well founded america's so-called ag missile defense system is no acid experience it's the profits that which will lose understand this is a lot of the sister isn't a tax system and where it has money speciously in this close to russia's borders system state colin ingrid two hundred miles from russia proper big one a way to intercept russia's response before they can. inflict as much damage as possible but again i scratch my get an ac is it possible that it where indeed is a solid state in war with russia i simply can't conceive of their position ever know we have a bunch of lunatics and evacuations at this country's i don't want anything else.

along with missile defense g eight leaders also discussed the situation in libya and they put pressure on gadhafi to leave while russia said it's upping efforts to mediate a ceasefire also says its ties with both sides in the conflict puts it in an ideal position to make progress r.t. spoke exclusively to a representative of the level rebels to find out what they want to do with the country and the future. of the first of all i want to point out that i asked to lead it becomes a democratic state will continue to observe all the agreements it's required by international law the transitional council will be working for a national of a year out of the countries liberated we have a road map planned for see the creation of a national congress which would be elected by all libyan people will form a 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. nato has continued bombing the libyan capital tripoli on saturday. and the

visiting professor in international relations at bill kent university in turkey told me earlier that russian mediation might help but so far it seems the alliance wants to carry on until the bitter end but the rebels feel they have the support of greater countries some are only some other arab states have already shown much interest in. communion and i suspect unless countries decided they were likely to next month also to achieve a military victory the major countries may decide. but i suspect at the moment it treason. where can we go to. get is more likely but more or less we brought a close to his options which makes negotiation very very difficult to imagine.

former bosnian serb army general read gomen that it is waiting for his fate to be an answer which may happen as early as monday in serbia a few have been left in different by his arrest with reaction ranging from jubilance to outrage and artie's a katrina czar of a has visited the serbian village wittman that it was finally called. well we didn't talk to some of the people of course it was saturday quite early in the morning when we made our trip to the village itself was credibly small very small. 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 former bosnian general 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 not speak to one woman who was one of our neighbor. was

arrested no one had the slightest idea he was being that his brother lives in his hands and to be very whoa do you think it was humanity is in the kind of. campaigns and it's moving the difficulty and. we had no idea who the man was until the police arrived. after the arrest. and to talk a little bit more about what his arrest means for the people i'm joined live by mr . 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 happy about it are they not happy about it. because first of all. your old. and your promises made to this. come into play. so it's just.

so easy it will be. a mission promises presume you're referring to the promises of membership. for the actual people membership really matter. it might have several years ago the thing is it's just become an old entire story and the more people. listen about it here about the less they're actually includes that they actually believe because all they are seeing is any money that comes in from the outside winds up in the pockets of very few people mostly the politicians to try to force i understand that many people here in serbia are very dissatisfied with the tribe you know and don't actually believe it can be objective absolutely everything that's has been done so far shows that she was a tribunal just set up lame exclusively one side bad guys are pigs twenty years ago

they were the serbs and the hague tribunal is there to justify western policy here thanks us we hide the real culprits. on the northeast 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 record means for you a victory for justice all the trial all of you around and on to facebook dot com slash forty news and have yourself in for. it's going to be. in the.

thousands of take you to the streets of the georgian capital to protest against the government's ban on breakup of peaceful rallies two days ago how the minutes of sun to commemorate the victims of the crackdown his number they claim is being played down the protests is of also adopted a statement in which the dispersal was called an illegal operation of intimidation and comes together again on sunday well earlier my colleague talk to sarah ferguson has been covering the events in tbilisi from r.t. . the opposition have taken to the streets again this time that namesake is an all out staying successfully protesting against the violence that was used a wednesday's crack as we said at the time that the killing of the place didn't come as a surprise to any of us here that i would leave the main column an area we knew that there was going to be some form of intervention it was the scale of the police operation is really about the scale of the police operation in one of your earlier reports you said that there was there were many more police than there were

protesters out so you need to describe this in numbers as he i mean there were processes in the thousands and many of them were peaceful and also it was tough because the revolution. there's an older generation of demonstrators here fighting against pensions the rise of the place and when the police operation turned up and there they were in the thousands later. everyone's question now was the operation was justified whether it's just. that amount of force certainly many people in the ground we all felt that it was it was very chaotic a lot of injuries were sustained it's very hard to gauge an accurate figure on this and this is he said the crisis is taking to the streets again because they're deeply unhappy with the way the situation was handled and the ensuing events lastly often or so when you talk about the chaos that ensued what did you see the police batons or was it based or spray or what were you saying well they turned up and i said at the time it really felt like witnessing a modern day battle scene they lined the streets on both sides of the street

outside the main parliament building so they had the protesters who really surrounded it and there were thousands of them they had their own it shields they were beating on it was very very aggressive and in the space of a couple of minutes hearing talk say that the right idea position later about possible negotiations a couple of minutes later they were in the clouds and i like i said has been see those take us everywhere they were rather bullets like i said center because i didn't produce a want to earlier reports that one of our colleagues marty espanol was a victim of violence yes our spanish correspondent his if me at the time he got hit by a bullet as he were trying to get out and i seen a many of the journalists were in fact injured a lot of our georgian colleagues so the drivers were getting injured. but the methods of violence being used by the police were 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 young old journalists processed they were just in there and it was extremely chaotic it's hard to gauge

accurate information is a lot of people still trying to track down relatives and friends and family that they hide who they need turned out of the demonstration and. they're not able to find where they are now the figures that are coming out the amount and. it is very hard to get an accurate reading on that also people witnessing it is the sixteen numbers that they're releasing and we know that there's been ninety arrests they're saying the numbers of people in hospital and. we saw many more injuries and now sadly enough for the people that we see it's much higher. sort of a farewell george's opposition says the government is staging a witch hunt against everyone who took part in those protests speaking exclusively to our tea opposition leader and you know what you're not seeing so many of those speaking out against president saakashvili taint or disappear. we know a lot of people who are still hoping arrested and government giving us any information about them. unfortunately with us again i'm interested. to know more.

persons who own i'm afraid that this people have been arrested beach and i'm told this and then corpses are good well people from all of us who i see it's impossible to imagine that this course where the tribune of parade and special forces and special department because you know that people are baited in jail and being called these very brutal it is we are receiving this information you can see my security officers who were just. between. the jail. where i was it's an electrician call ins the. hospitals or. before the police and there were some rumors that a few people in police had been indicted so base kind of stories are coming out of police you know it's terrible and what is very important today we're receiving

information that some of the people homeless police is looking for and couldn't find. their families police entered and they were arrested mazas says and lifes. and you can always follow the events in georgia unfold on our website now online you can find out how critics say the persecution of opposition members is going beyond all reason as author one protester who threw a chocolate bar of president saakashvili was sentenced to three months in jail there's so much more for you at r.t. dot com. because this growth has been the after four years of total lockdown egypt open the border crossing for pedestrians giving a gateway to the outside world for one and a half million palestinians the crossing is accessible to anyone except men aged between eighteen and forty who require visas or border was closed after hamas seized power in gaza with israel hoping the blockade would help the party elders

even rights groups like the massive in military cost from food shortages to the sick being honorable to leave for simple treatment that is paula slim reports the new lifeline for palestinians is a real headache but. this is egypt's border with gaza 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 but wilder 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 were under the hospital here and they gave me some linen and put the pains in there and the borders are closed this is the reason why a cell 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 willing agreement gone up six years ago between the

now deposed egyptian 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 to live it to supervise and monitor security cameras from afar but his room was watching. points. so that it was the same interest of course going through. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live on she puts not 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 interest and snipers from gaza city the out of care of any meaning when we hear the first. one we have to one and take their place. with pride over the keyboard so every run in his whole area there are just last month

a sixteen year old boy was killed when it was summer could hit the school bus he was traveling home in people who live here are afraid what will happen next is that move with these will find their way into the hands of palestinian militants and ultimately be used against the jewish state sure. if the border will be open really a lot of. the hamas is already . visiting your nation. there we have much smaller 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 were hit television means is that baby life was reagan's living not far from gaza is fast becoming part of his radio life across the country to see our team tel aviv.

get more insight from gaza itself and to political analyst. thanks very much indeed for joining us to see you all of that in the garden as i say what's the reaction from the people there so far what sort of numbers are we seeing at the border point so soon after the opening. so the syrian people to see if the egyptian decision regarding the opening of a gate. very positively but it's here and will come in he said position we can see the. position as a result of a lot of the egyptian revolution and. a new atmosphere created by this massive bulis movement conducted the slogans of democracy and if you're not it's pick up a seat because we can say that it's a very it was a defense of all the egyptian government decided to play on the search or for the senior cause by achieving reconsideration between fatah and the second to step of

the taking peace get its position by all being. after forty years of a look at it and many years of suffering for them to see their people make a deal because it has said that that is what you think about a month in two thousand and five the clean and in front of the international public opinion withdrawal from gaza and they are clear i think this in gets monthly to see what the gaza strip but at the same time it transformed gaza as any he would gain so the i didn't even think people called last. time to end at the same time for they come with their peers and their goods. putting all of the population one and a half million and a big. imposing collective punishment i want to give something. to call it the choice of. sending rockets under stuff like that it's just how it is an easy problem is simply that

a scene affections decided to implement that was every think it's going to peacefully on the gaza and it is an easy target what will cause them to the scene and this is sort of me just interrupt you about that on this point of course some israel not only feeling undermined about this move by egypt opening up now border crossing but also of course grave concerns that this crossing could be used to smuggle arms in to cause that's a justified argument a fair concern from israel isn't it. i think that coming through all of that is that. the matter is connected by collective punishment by the israeli occupation and the government that this or this. nation so that they claim that they withdraw from gaza but they are controlling gaza by the by that it is so that soldiers and other people that's included with the syllable shows the.

against but it's people it's. ok we have got a lot of time but let's just talk about you to touch on your own about egypt its new role in the region there pushing for the unity a factor on how massive now of course behind the opening of the border to gaza and tell us just how much of an influence now could this new power in egypt after the fall of mubarak how an influence in the future in the middle east now it seems to be having quite an impact already but what the future impact could it have. we are satisfied about the a civilization conducted by the egyptian government these two positions given in place and gyptian in your government under your leadership one to think that there is little to seeing and people. of this leadership one. national now to look at all in this third of all which was going back to the last. week i said that america is that it was

a sea. area. as well as the loss of a senior and people so we feel that we are living in a new atmosphere in the new other bisping and. clinic ties will be strength in between but it's you know people on their side and then to other people to the other search just briefly and finally you seem to be quite optimistic here do you really think there could be a recognition of a statehood in september for the palestinians which is going to be discussed at the u.n. . i believe so but we expect. the american vehicle and that's it could have counsel. but we have of hazardous you know people. to carry on going on board of these. because. horse speech in the back and. he.

did that all in front of the peace process he didn't didn't want political guys six to seven as a part of the disunion nationalist hit. and he had been the local good night. for the senior people and you can see that there are still in unity and that is that it is so that it is he allowed to continue with his policy for building the wall which we have seen and it's about as little as seven months in which this person this this our duty. as a violation of the international law and if you're not i suppose i could just finally lets loose look at the practicalities of what's just happened today has this opening of the border is it going to be enough to bring an end to the humanitarian crisis there in gaza just briefly. we considered. it clear. when you

saw. that listing and. that's if you're about their lives. and it's only five percent from that about force so we consider. it clear the negative consequences for their humanity again it shows but we hazarded the senior doesn't consider that the. main issue for us it's only did we consider that political and which it's. get get there from. the scene as to achieve that it's. ok let's leave it there thank you very much indeed research and political analyst joining me live there in gaza ramadan thank you. for the new government's opening on the border with gaza isn't the only egyptian decision that's made headlines
