a light at the end of the tunnel for people of gaza as egypt opens up border crossing and you know for your blockade of the territory. seven am in moscow i'm not treasurer good to have you with us here on r t our top story russia should be part of a missile defense shield in europe so says the u.s. president speaking in poland barack obama reiterated the u.s. isn't giving up on plans to site some of its rockets and planes in the country close to russia's borders are here were as more from warsaw. 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 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 and poland on its land which would service. military transport planes and f. sixteen fighter jets and also more importantly for poles to have was short range interceptor missiles by twenty eighteen no all this comes after another meeting between barack obama and the russia's president dmitry digits at the g eight summit in france the two leaders also discuss 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 relations between russia and the united states so now it's really unclear of the purpose of this is a strong military presence by the united states cheering 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 war wants to work together with the russia that it has to provide a legal guarantees to moscow that is 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 you 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 dangers and threats from middle east not from russia so it's quite a conflict in picture indeed because there's definite positive tendencies when it comes to communication but it's the absence. in the picture where your host and

author stephen the lead men tells our team he thinks russia's concerns on the u.s. missile defense system are well founded america's missile defense system is not the defense is for profits the u.s. which is understand this is the law of the system is an attack system it would in america has a lawyer institutionally in this post the russians would it is they want a way to intercept russia's response before they can do he so they inflict as much damage as possible but again i scratch my head of ac is it possible that american leaders dissolute saying if they want a war with russia that's a big conceivable they're pushing the envelope we have a bunch of lunatics you know places in this country so i don't want anything. the g eight summit world leaders have discussed the arab uprisings with a particular focus on libya they released a joint statement calling for colonel gadhafi to step down immediately saying he's

lost his legitimacy russia has stepped 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 of 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 their plans for the country. and if of the first of all and to point to leave it becomes a democratic state and will continue to observe all the agreements it's required by international the traditional council will be working for a maximum of a year to the country's liberates it's we have a roadmap planned for sees the creation of a national congress which would be elected by all levy and people will form a commission which will create a constitution and it will be voted on in a national referendum we hope that this will take no more than a year or two you will be showing you the extended interview with rebel leader mustafa del jolly old sunday four am g.m.t.

repeating throughout the day nato jets have hit a number of targets in libya's capital tripoli including a compound owned by khadafi professor mark allman tells our t.v. russia's mediation might help but believes the alliance wants to carry through with its military campaign to me yet. the rebels feel they have the support of the nato countries some are believe some of the arab states actually have a british and much interest in. communion and i suspect unless countries decided that they were lightly next from toso to achieve a military victory the nato countries may decide perhaps we'll have some kind of compromise in russia will be able to act as a mediator but i suspect that the moment victories the nation leads they've said gadhafi must go where can you do to get through but it is more likely that no less we've brought a close door because options which makes and if you see

a very very different russian coming your way in a few minutes or a look at whether some recent catastrophes are making people think more about the planet's future. i think we're ok the world in the last weekend there were four billion years the sun burns out but it will be ok we asked people are new york streets a fair bothered by tuesday predictions of lots. of other ticking time bomb a think it's threatening mankind global warming arche travels through a dark sea if the continent with the world's coldest climate is getting any hot under the collar. but first former bosnian serb army general robert cone is waiting for a court to decide whether he'll be extradited to the hague in serbia few have been left indifferent by his arrest with reaction ranging from jubilance to outrage or he's caring as are of a visited the village when what it was final. well we did manage to talk to some of

the people of course it was saturday and out quite early in the morning when we made our trip to 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. a number of policemen that were standing outside the house where a former bosnian general rakhal not 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 weren't very keen to talk to them but we did manage to speak to one woman who was one of his neighbor. cannot each was arrested no one had the slightest safety he was being that his brother lives in this house and to be very well two days ago when the man appeared in the hands he was wearing a cap and a military jet kitchen 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 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 who could serve. through the second thing is they don't think that any of those promises made to this trial. come into play. still it's just another sort of a national do. 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 just even membership really matter. it might have several

years ago thing is it's has become an old and tired story the more people. listen about it the less there actually includes them to leave 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 say hey you know of course i understand that many people here in serbia are very dissatisfied with their tribe you know and don't actually believe it can be objective absolutely everything that's supposed to be done so far shows that she was a tribunal just set up lame exclusively one side bad guys were pretty spunky years ago they were the serbs and the hate tribune was there to justify western policy here thanks us we are the real culprits iraqis facebook page unified latest updates in stories and 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 the ride home right it means for our viewers

a victory for justice or the betrayal of a hero log on to facebook dot com slash our team news and i have your say. he. says. thousands have taken to the streets of georgia's capital protesting the government's violent break up of peaceful rallies two days ago they held a minute of silence to commemorate the victims of the crackdown whose number they claim is being downplayed by officials protesters also adopted a statement in which the dispersal was called an illegal operation of intimidation a promise to gather again on sunday. my colleague rory sushi spoke with r.t.

sara for who is covering the event into police. the opposition have taken to the streets again this time their main focus is things like officially protesting against the violence that he is a when states crack as he said at the time the deployment of the place didn't come as a surprise to any of us here when they need to maintain an area we needed there was going to be some form of intervention it was the scale of the police operation is really the police operation in one of your earlier reports you said that there was there were many more police than there were protesters the discrepancy in numbers was he i mean there were protesters in the thousands and many of them were peaceful and also of the so revolution this is an older generation of demonstrators here fighting against and she was in the place and when the police operations and up and they were in the found. very very quick everyone's question now whether the operation was justified whether it was just. that amount of force so i think many

people on 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 protesters taking to the streets again because he and happy with the way the situation was handled and the ensuing events of the only arsenal of so when you talk about the chaos that ensued what did you see when we were with the police batons or was it mates or spray or what were you saying well they turned up and i said at the time it really felt like witnessing a lot of modern day bustle saying they lined the streets on both sides of the street outside the main parliament building so they had the protesters around and there were thousands of them they had their own it shields they were beating on is very very aggressive and it's about a couple of minutes here in talks of autonomy for the right idea of decision later about possible negotiations a couple of minutes later they were in the crowds and i'd like i said has been see those take us everywhere they were rather but it's like this presence and because i didn't produce a want to report. so one of our colleagues marty espanol was

a victim of our spanish correspondent at the time he got hit by a bullet as he was trying to get out of this in a many of them were in fact injured like shooting colleagues so the chances of getting injured in this but. that the methods of violence being used by the police what kind of injuries were people sustaining it was just very aggressive they walked into the crowds and just basically grabbing anyone 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 get out of there pretty sharpish because they're not going to discriminate you know young journalists 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 well it is friends and family keeping you turned out of the demonstration not able to find where they are now the things that are coming out. it's very hard to get an accurate reading on that and. witnessing it it seems extremely releasing and we know that there's been ninety arrests saying numbers of people in hospital in these we saw many more injuries and

most. of the people who see as much. treasures opposition says the government is staging a witch hunt against anyone who took part in the protests speaking exclusively with opposition leader nieto burjanadze says many of those speaking out against president saakashvili get detained or even disappear. we know a little of people who are who have been arrested and government giving guys any information about them. unfortunately we receive an alternative. to them or. persons have fun and i'm afraid that is people in the article caught between. this and then a car. full of. people from all of them otherwise it's impossible to imagine that this course that. tribune of rape and special forces and special department because i own them and know that people love bt pain in the police very brutally this is we

are receiving this information you can see my security officers who were just. between. the jail where i was it's an electric sheep orleans. hospitals. we have been for an awful east such as where someone who has a few people who are in police things out so basically end of stories are coming out trying to police it's a terrible annuities very importance today we're receiving information fed to get some of the people who are middle east peace looking for and couldn't find. their families police entered and they arrested my sis and relatives. can always follow our bounds and george are unfolding on our website online find out our critics say persecution of opposition members is going beyond reason after one protester threw a chocolate bar president saakashvili and was handed

i went to the hospital here and they gave me some women but 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 mall in agreement drawn up six years ago between another poster 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. was watching. on certain points and checkpoints. at the same interest to both countries. the permanent opening of rougher terrifies israeli citizens especially those who live funky put in a hole i was just eight hundred meters from the israeli gaza border ever since they keep what was established nearly sixty years ago it's been on the receiving end of

ripping down bell things nuclear power plants nothing down are we building our society was our family are with any forethought at all this week let's talk about that do you think society thinks that long time or they just always do think of a short time i do the things which country are and. i think americans are very short term. is long why aren't planes made of the material black box me out of. you know the way that those are just not enough for put into it i just maybe dad 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 something covering conspiracy or i think that it and friends the companies predicts. that there is no private interests in the new couple prints that i hope that it's true so maybe if

there are people worried about making money so much they make things their part i think we're done with the. i phones i pads there's no thinking past next five minutes do children i do doesn't my concern you than it does but i think we're ok the world in and last weekend there were four billion years in the sun burns out so they will be ok well you know back in the thirty's we said build projects that lasted for one hundred years well they hope it will to last a hoover dam 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 body had a work visa 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 care cost a lot so there was going away and the planet or the corporation. 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 than. we see i see glaciers of our planet's cold wisconsin and turn into green valleys and other burning issues currently being tackled by antarctic scientists as artie's schon thomas reports. each week pull up movement of hikes to the billings homes and glacier on kings georgia 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 yet. if i put our glaciers are changing in size point search engine climates right now we know that since the middle or the end of the nineteenth century the majority of glass years are receding it means there is 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 freshwater layer. the surface of the sea water fresh water is lighter so there is some problem with those mixing of the water coral which could possibly influence the 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 wintertime 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 penguins are declining in this region principly due to that

decline in crude 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. on the back of the mean indicator on the glass here is the equilibrium lie in altitudes it's the altitude where the accumulates the minds of snow equals the males of their minds if they sow to chew to get tired 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 that 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 atoll

had 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 southern most 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 our team. back with a recap of our top stories in a few minutes stay with us.
