the tunnel for the people of gaza as egypt opens a border crossing ending a four year blockade of the palestinians every. three i'm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story russia should be part of a missile defense shield in europe according to u.s. president who was meeting in poland barack obama reiterated the u.s. is not giving up on his plans to site some of its rockets and planes in that country close to russia's borders are he's a group is kind of has more for more so. 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 plans to quit an air base here in poland on its land which would service hercules 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 leaders also discussed a future possible joint anti 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 of the sensitive one for moscow for years it was the biggest stumbling points in the lesions between russia and the united states so now it's really unclear of the purpose of this 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 world wants to work together with russia then it has to provide legal guarantees to moscow but 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 system 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 definitely positive tendencies when it comes to communication but the absence don't really fit in the picture us based radio host and author steven levy men tells our team russia's concerns on the u.s.

missile defense system may be well founded but here is so cold air missile defense system is not a defense it's not part of this which will need as i understand this is a lot of the system is an attack system and where it has money speciously in this close to russia's border is a big one worry deep interest russia's response before they even do we simply inflict as much damage as possible but again i scratch my head of ac is it possible that i'm very inconsistent saying if we want a war with russia basically conceivable there each and every year we have a bunch of lunatics you know places in this country i don't want anything. at the g eight summit world leaders have discussed the arab uprisings with a particular focus on the situation in libya it released a joint statement calling for colonel gadhafi to step down immediately saying he's

lost all legitimacy russia has a right to ratchet up pressure on the libyan leader by endorsing the communique but also says it's upping efforts to mediate a cease fire moscow hopes its ties with both sides in the conflict will put it in an ideal position to make progress r.t. spoke exclusively with a representative of the rebels to find out what they hope to do with the country. for the first of all i want to point out that i asked to lead it becomes democratic states will continue to observe agreements it's required by international law the transitional council will be working for a national of a year out of the country's liberates it's we have a roadmap plan that to see the creation of a national congress which will be elected by all libyan people will form a commission which will create a constitution it will be voted on in a national referendum we hope that this will take no more than a year. she will be showing the extended interview with rebel leader abdel jalil on sunday at eight am moscow time with her piece throughout the day stay with us for

the. nato jets have struck a number of targets in libya's capital tripoli including a compound our own by khadafi mark all men visiting professor international relations at university in turkey tells r t russia's mediation may help but believes the alliance wants to carry on with a campaign through to the. but the rebels feel they have the support of the nato countries some are some other arab states so they haven't really shown much interest in its natural beliefs or communion and i suspect unless countries decided they were lightly you next month also to achieve a military victory the nato countries may decide perhaps we'll have some kind of rise in russia will be able to act as a mediator but i suspect that the moment big treason a move nature leads said gadhafi has to go. where can he go into i'm afraid it's a victory or death for him maybe death is more likely but nonetheless we brought

a close to his options which makes an accusation very very difficult to imagine. stay with us here on our cheek coming your way in a few minutes a look at whether some recent catastrophes are making people think more about the planet's future. i think we're ok the world the last weekend there were four billion years the sun is out so that it will be ok because people are new york streets of their brothers by tuesday prediction. plus another ticking time bomb many think is threatening mankind global warming or he travels to antarctica to see if the continent with the world's coldest climate is getting hot under the collar. where we get to that former bosnian serb army general ratko mulatto she is waiting for a court to decide whether he'll be extradited to the hague in serbia few have been left indifferent to his arrest with reaction ranging from jubilance to outrage artie's karina's are of a visit of the serbian village are what it was finally tracked down. we did manage

to talk to a some of the people of course it was quite early in the morning when we made our trip and the village itself was incredibly small very. 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 actually arrested and you could feel that the people of that village were not very happy with the amount of journalists present they weren't very keen to talk to them but we did manage to speak to one woman who was one of our neighbor. to new knowledge was arrested no one had the slightest idea he was being that his brother lives in his house and had a very low standard to get any man abuse in the hands he was wearing a cap and you know from his moving good difficulty as though he'd had a stroke 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 their serbian people i'm joined live by mr alexander who is a political analyst thank you so much for talking to us now. what does it mean for the people happy about it are they not happy about it. because they. feel. like all. the promises made. to play with you realize. it's just. really. easy will be. a mission promises presume you're referring to the promises of membership that was given to the actual people membership really matter. it might have several years

ago the thing is it's become an old and tired story and the more people. listen about it and hear about the less they're actually enthused and to be actually believed 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 to try to you know and don't actually believe it can be objectively absolutely everything that's has been done so far shows that actually was a tribunal just set up claim exclusively one side bad guys were picked twenty years ago they were the serbs and the hague tribunal is there to justify western policy here that's actually the real culprits. in our facebook page you can find the latest updates on the stories and plenty of first hand accounts from our correspondents we're always interested in your opinion on the stories we're covering. today we're asking what the arrest of the ride home allotted from our

viewers every tree for justice or the betrayal of iraq log on to facebook dot com slash news and have your say. in the. thousands are taking to the streets of georgia's capital to protest the government's violent breakup of peaceful rallies two days ago they held a minute of silence commemorating the victims of the crackdown whose number of a claim is being played down by officials protesters also adopted a statement i call the discourse in which the dispersal was called an illegal operation of intimidation promised to gather again on sunday earlier my colleague

spoke with r.t. sorry for covering the events of these. people position have taken to the streets again this time that name thank is announced things like this they protesting against the violence that is he's a wednesday's crack as he said at the time the deployment of the place didn't come as a surprise to any of us here that when they leave the main common area we knew that there was a cell phones intervention it was the scale of the police operation that was really you talk 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 city the discrepancy in numbers was heat i mean there were protesters in the thousands and many of them were peaceful and also it was dubbed the silver revolution this isn't always a generation of them stayed. if he is fighting against penske i see the place and when the police operation turned up and they were in their thousands in a. very very quick everyone's question now was the operation was justified whether

it's just. that amount of force certainly many people on the ground we all felt that it was that it was very chaotic a lot of injuries were sustained it's a very hard to gauge an accurate figure on this on this is 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 only author last so when you talk about the chaos that ensued what did you see the police batons or was it based on 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 battle scene they lined the streets on both sides. of the main parliament building so they had the protesters literally surrounded 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 of the tunnel a friend of ideal position later about possible negotiations a couple of minutes later they were in the crowds and like i say can see those take us everywhere they were rubber bullets flying by center because i didn't you say

one of the early reports of one of our colleagues marty espanyol who was a victim of the u.s. or spanish correspondent at the time he got hit by rather bullets as he trying to get out of that scene and many of the journalists were in fact injured a lot of the georgian colleagues of the germans were getting injured because. 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 they could that was in front of them in the genocide be warned if you're in an area when when it kicks off you need to be out of there pretty sharpish because they're not going to be discriminate you know young old journalists processed they were just in and it was extremely chaotic it's hard to gauge accurate information is a lot of people used to trying to track down relatives of 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 do you. the figures that are coming out about the amount. it is very hard to get an accurate reading on that and so i think people do that witnessing it is the sixteen numbers that they're releasing and we know that that ninety rest is saying the numbers of people in hospital and. we still many more

injuries and mostly sadly enough for the people that we see as much. george's opposition says the government staging a witch hunt against anyone who took part in the protests speaking exclusively with r.t. opposition leader nino burjanadze says many of those speaking out against president saakashvili get attained or even disappear. but we know the looks of people who aren't interested and government isn't giving us any information about them. unfortunately we received an opportunity to do. two more. persons had to be on the phone and the three faith based people who have been there. until this and then. look at the number of people from all of us realize it's impossible to imagine that this course that we are in the tribune of pay rate and special forces and special department taken on them you know that people love to eat in any jail and the

police very brutally do this we are receiving this information you can see my security geophysics call we are just. it's in the. jail. because they tell it to show people in the. first details. we have before that police and by the way as someone who has a few people in police have been tight so these kind of stories are coming out of the police you know it's a terrible and what is very what since today we're receiving information at some of the people who clearly she's looking for and couldn't find. any of these police tented and terrorist if this system works it always follow events unfolding in georgia on our web site now online find out how critics say the prosecution the persecution of opposition members is going beyond all reason including after one protester threw

a chocolate bar president saakashvili and being sentenced to three months in jail there's an all out much more at r.t. dot com. egypt has ended before your blockade of the gaza strip creating an opening to the outside world for one and a half million palestinians imposed in two thousand and seven after hamas came to power the closure was ended in weakening the party crossing which will be free of visas. restrictions for everyone except men eighteen to forty one able to travel more freely a medical study a business but as are his policy reports israelis fear that will lead to an increase in terror attacks. 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 will a through which meant no more than three hundred people a day could water the mother was not one of them last year she died from cancer of the stomach she had trying to pretty for months to leave gaza for chemotherapy treatment abroad but was never able to get the permission she needed to leave. if i

were under 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 drawn up six years ago between the not opposed to just from president hosni mubarak the united states the israelis and the europeans be in place that agreement gave monitors access to the crossing and allowed to live it is supervised to monitor security cameras from a far. certain points and checkpoints so that it was the same interest that was going through. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live on 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 but our scale of any meaning when we hear the first receive falling down we have to run and take their place. with ipod all over the keyboard cell there are everyone in here the whole area there are. last month a sixteen year old boy was killed when it was some rockets hit the school bus he was traveling home in people who live here are afraid that what will happen next is that move with police will find their way into the hands of palestinian militants and ultimately be used against the jewish state sure that if the border will be all pretty freely any love for him. he can still drive in the hamas is now already you know visit munitions. they really have much smaller the implications of which are becoming clearer by the day i'm standing some eighty five kilometers away from gaza but it will be

a little bit later in the next hour here on our t.v. stay with us but first will the icy glaciers of our planet's coldest continent turn into lush green valleys there's another burning issue is currently being tackled by antarctic scientists and our report from artie's john thomas. each week blood of lou dobbs hikes to the valentine's and don't glacier on kings georgia island to measure twenty nine different markers. by doing so you can record exactly how the glacier changes each year and it seems that glaciers in antarctica are getting smaller. and finance or glaziers are changing in size points to change in climate sort of right now we know that since the middle of the end of the nineteenth century of the majority of the last years are receding it means there is a general warming that 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 land to the sea which forms

a freshwater layer on the surface of the sea water fresh water is lighter so there is some problems was mixing i was a world record which could possibly influences a structural. 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 coral 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 penguin species delhi penguins and chinstrap islands are declining in this region and simply due to that decline in coral even though the overall global trend is pointing to what is in fact global warning some scientists are saying that we're living between ice ages and this is

all part of a natural cycle in fact there is some evidence to suggest that what the beginning of the next cooling trend. on the part of the mean indicator on the glass here is an equilibrium laying out since you'd say it's the all to choose where the accumulates in the minds of snow equals the mail so the minds if they sow to choose gets higher it means that the climate is getting warmer and if the altitude case nor it means that the climate is going to have cleaner at 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 but also when we have to keep in mind we don't have a situation where climate changes in the scene weighed all over the planet somewhere it's getting warmer some where it's got some colder and some where there are new changes of. the same time which tendency occurs in which area is also changing so is the climate here and right now is constant in the future this can

also assure you 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 southernmost continent 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 r.t. . back to that story we tried to bring you earlier the drought is the latest natural disaster spurring greater numbers of doomsday theories some experts say it's a sign that people need to build their futures with greater responsibility online talk show host laurie harford also known as the resident ask people on the streets of new york if they think it's time for a change. tornadoes

children i do it 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 in the sun burns out so they will be ok you know back in the thirty's resettled projects that lasted for for one hundred years well they built it well to last the hoover dam is going to last a long time don't go projects like. this should last a thousand years because hopefully will be around in a thousand years right you put my body had to work or use in construction so there's a lot of that to it is a fight against the corporation on mine mainly. because you know i mean it's from a purely economic front of you taking. so those can know when 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
