8:02 pm
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 barak 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 poles to have those short range interceptor missiles by twenty eighteen now all this comes after another meeting between barack obama and the russia's president dmitry medvedev 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. issued surface 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
8:03 pm
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 me analysts are saying that if washington what it wants to work together with russia then it has to provide the 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 is to me is not aimed at this. system is no danger to you it's focused on 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 movie theater in the pits or u.s.
8:04 pm
space radio host and author steven lennon tells our team russia's concerns about the u.s. missile defense system may be well founded fear is a missile defense system is the disappearance of the u.s. which chile is understand this is a middle of the system isn't it texas knew it would and where it has learned the station is close the russians would be able to lead to intercept russia's response before they even do we. inflict as much damage as possible but again i threaten to get an ac is it possible that american leaders dissolute saying if we want to woo russia i simply conceivable that we should be able you know we have a bunch of lunatics in high places in this country so i don't what do you think. at the g eight summit world leaders have discussed the arab uprisings with a particular focus on the situation in libya he released
8:05 pm
a joint statement calling for colonel gadhafi to step down immediately saying he's lost legitimacy russia has increased pressure on the libyan leader by endorsing him a 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 or he spoke exclusively with a representative of the rebels to find out what they hope to do with a country. first of all it's a point sound that i asked to leave it becomes democratic states will continue to observe all the agreements it's required by international law the transitional council will be working for a not similar over a year after the country's liberates its we have a road map planned for season a creation of a national congress which will be elected by all libyan people will form a commission which will create a constitution and it will be voted on in a national referendum we hope this will take no more than a year or he will be showing that extended interview with the rebel leader abdul julio on sunday four am g.m.t.
8:06 pm
with repeats throughout the day. nato jets have had a number of targets in the libyan capital tripoli including a compound owned by gadhafi visiting professor of international relations at bill kate university in turkey tails are to russia's mediation may help but believe the alliance wants to carry on with a bit of terry campaign through today yet the rebels feel they have the support of the nato countries among some other arab states so they have really shown much interest in. communion and i suspect unless. they were mightly next month also to ensure military victory at the nato countries may decide to have some kind of rise in russia. as a mediator but i suspect that the moment trees near. where can you say. maybe there is more likely that moment less we've brought

a close or is option makes a new situation very very difficult to imagine. coming your way in a few minutes a look at whether the recent catastrophes are making people think more about earth's future. i think we're ok the world an endless weekend they were four billion years the sun burns out so they will be able to ask people on the streets of the big apple what they are bothered by if you missed a prediction. some other ticking time bomb maybe think it's threatening mankind global warming or he travels to antartica to see the continent with the world's coldest prime it may be getting hot under the collar. first though former bosnian serb army general ratko murat it she's waiting for a court to decide whether he'll be extradited to the hague in serbia few have been left in different by his arrest with reaction ranging from jubilance to outrage or he's catarina as are of a visited the servility was finally. well we did manage to talk to some of the
8:08 pm
people of course it was saturday and quite early in the morning when we made our trip into the village itself was a credibly small very sleepy lots of people gardening and basically the only thing that was odd it was the large amount of journalists and a number of policemen that were standing outside the house where a former bosnian general accommodates was 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 didn't manage to speak to one woman who was one of a lot of his neighbor. cannot it was arrested no one had the slightest idea he was being his brother losing his hands and did know him very well oh ten days ago a new man appeared in the hands he was wearing a cap and a military jackets moving with difficulty as though he had a stroke we had no idea who the man was until the police arrived pinions are of
8:09 pm
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 is his arrest 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 who protect and serve. or to the second thing. they don't think that any of those promises made to discover. come into play. still it's just another sort of national do. you think it will be in. which they mention promises presume you're referring to the promises of membership that was given to serbia for the actual people just even membership really matter. it might have several years ago thing is it's has become an old and tired story and
8:10 pm
the more people. listen about it here about the less directly includes them the picture we believe because all they are seeing is any money that comes in from the outside winds up in the pockets of a very few people most of the politicians say try to you know of course 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 been done so far shows it actually was a tribunal just set up lame exclusively one side bad guys will pick twenty years ago they were the serbs and the cake tribunal is there to justify western policy here thanks us we tell you the real culprits. and archie's facebook page you can find the latest updates on stories and first hand accounts from our correspondents were as interested in your opinion on the stories we're covering today we're asking what the arrest of ride home watch means for our viewers is it

a victory for justice or a betrayal of a hero log on to our g dot com or facebook dot com our team news and have your say . thousands are taking to the streets of georgia's capital protesting the government's a violent break up of peaceful rallies two days ago they held a minute of silence to commemorate the victims of the crackdown whose number of a claim is being played down by officials protesters also adopt the state in which the dispersal was called an illegal operation of intimidation promised to gather again sunday earlier my colleague rory sushi's spoke with r.t.
8:12 pm
sara furthur was covering events in tbilisi. the opposition have taken to the streets again this time the main focus is announce things like this really protesting against the violence that is he's a wednesday's crackdown as he said at the time of the killing of the place didn't come as a surprise to any of us here that when they leave the main common area we need it and it's going to be some form of intervention it was scaled of the police operation is really just about the scale of the police operation in one of your earlier of course you said that there was there were many more police than there were protesters absolutely the discrepancy in numbers as he ages i mean the process is in the thousands and many of them were peaceful and also it was dubbed so revolution this is an older generation of demonstrations here fighting against the lake and lies and the prices and when the police operation turned up and there they were in the fountains in a salon in place inside likely everyone's question now whether the operation was justified whether it's just. that amount of force so i think many people on the
8:13 pm
ground we all felt that it was that it was very chaotic on a lot of injuries. sustained it's very hard to gauge an accurate figure on these numbers as 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 of the arsenal so when you talk about the chaos that ensued what did you see the police batons or was a spray of what were you saying well they turned up and i said at the time it really felt like witnessing a modern day they lined the streets on both sides street outside the main parliament building so they had the protesters three surrounded and there were thousands of them they had their own and shields they were beating and it was very very aggressive and in space of a couple of minutes here into. the right of the opposition leader about possible negotiations a couple of minutes later they were in the crowds and like i said can see those take us everywhere they were rubber bullets. because i didn't you say one of the early reports of one of our colleagues marty espanol was a victim of
8:14 pm
a lot of us our spanish correspondent at the time he got hit by a road as he trying to get out of the scene and many of the journalists were in fact injured in colleagues so the drivers were getting injured in this but when you see 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. 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 process they were just in 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. they need turned out of the station and they're not able to find where they are now the figures that are coming out. it is very hard to get an accurate reading on. witnessing it it seems extremely releasing and we know that. the saying that people
8:15 pm

8:16 pm
. ready to leave this we're receiving this information you can see my security geophysics coolly i just. picked a new unit in the jail i think it was that said i would too she probably. because it's. a little good we have the choice that police. had with someone who has a few people in cooley's something to eat some of these kinds of stories are coming from i don't trust the police to know it's a terrible annuities the reason for it since today we are receiving information that some of the people who are mislead she's looking for and couldn't find. him in the police center and the rest it musses system life. can always follow how events in georgia are unfolding on our website now we find out how critics say the persecution of opposition members is going beyond reason after one protester who threw a chocolate bar at president saakashvili was sentenced to three months behind bars
8:17 pm
this and much more at r.t. dot com. egypt has ended a four year blockade of the gaza strip creating an opening to be outside world for one and a half million palestinians imposed in two thousand and seven after hamas came to power the closure was aimed at weakening the party the crossing which will be free of users for these restrictions for. everyone except men in the forty years old will enable palestinians to move more freely for medicals business purposes but as art is parsley reports israelis fear that will lead to an inference of 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 were lit through which meant no more than three hundred people a day but while the hamada was not one of them last year she died from cancer of the stomach she had trying to is pretty for months to leave gaza for chemotherapy treatment abroad but was never able to get the permission she needed to leave. and
8:18 pm
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 for. the new egyptian foreign minister says the decision to close the border was shameful on saturday his promise to open a buffer permanently but after his release is coming true no more will an agreement drawn 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 monitors access to the crossing and allow television to supervise and monitor security cameras from a far and was watching. you tube. points and chickens. of the same interest of both countries. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live on kibbutz was just eight hundred meters from the israeli gaza border ever since the kibbutz was established
8:19 pm
nearly sixty years ago it's been on the receiving end of endless rockets and snipers from gaza city to our care of any meaning when we hear the first missile falling down we have to take their place somewhere i said there with that i thought what the owner of the keyboard cell there of everyone in here the whole area there . just last month a sixteen year old boy was killed when it was somebody hit the school bus he was traveling home mean people who live here are afraid that what will happen next is that move weapons will find their way into the hands of palestinian militants and ultimately be used against the jewish state can be sure that if they go there will be open freely. he still guys are in hamas is that the lady you know there is a munitions saying they really have much smaller the implications of which are becoming clear about it today i'm sending some eighty five kilometers away from

society responsibly the bottom line is with lives and our planet on the line we can always strive to do better. well will we see the icy glacier as our planet's coldest car to turn into green valleys there are some other issues currently being tackled by scientists as our thomas reports. each week pull out of loot of hikes to the bone scans and. george islands 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. if i put our glaciers are changing in size point search engine climates i know we know that since the middle or the end of the nineteenth century the majority of last year's are receiving it means there is
8:25 pm
a general warming over climate antarctica provides a unique opportunity where scientists can get a firsthand look at how this warming trend affects the local ecosystem some greater amount of fresh water is coming from the sea which forms a fresh water where. the surface of the sea water fresh water is lighter so there is some problems with mixing of the water coral which could possibly influence a structure of. 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 penguins species delhi penguins and chinstrap
8:26 pm
penguins are declining in this region principly do that because in coral even though the overall global trend is going to what is in fact global warming 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. i mean indicator on the glass here is the equilibrium lie in altitude it's the altitude where the accumulates in the minds of snow equals the males of their minds if they sell to choose gets higher it means that the climate is getting warmer and if the altitude gets lor it means that the climate is getting colder since two thousand and six this altitude keeps getting lower. and while scientists have been keeping track of how the glaciers have been reacting to changes in the environment they say it is just one part of a much larger system we have to keep in mind we don't have a situation where climate changes in the same way all over the planet somewhere is getting warmer summer is getting colder and somewhere there are new changes of toll
8:27 pm
at the same time which tendency occurs in which area is also changing so if the climate here and right now is constant in the future this can also change although not all scientists agree on the levels of climate change most believe that it is becoming increasingly more important to monitor what is happening on our 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 there are other areas of the planet that are going to change in the future so we might have a chance of being prepared for whatever comes down the line in antarctica sean thomas r.t. . we're back with a recap of our top stories in a few minutes stay with us here on our.
