this week so top stories the core is the g eight leaders speak in unison to demand panel get down to the guns with rush for agreeing to step in and mediate a cease fire in libya. u.s. which is forward with it sounds him as our friend shielding hero moscow warns the project may put the world's security at rest. r.t. states and look at why the arrest of general grant came landed from the manor a long suggs who accuse the government of treating its people when europe spain.

day of rage in georgia led to plant challenge to the police brutally cried down on thousands of protesters demanding the resignation of president franklin street. a very warm welcome to you this is our line from moscow colonel gadhafi suffered a major blow at this week's g. eight summit in france as russia join voices with nato allies calling on him to quit where they declared his rule in a just a minute and discuss ways to broker peace but there are still differences on syria with russia saying and won't back any u.n. action and he's now a report. new world new ideas host france put that concept on the g eight table at a time when it looks like old ways aren't working a war in libya on the front line with the euro crisis in the background leads to

questions like this and will sarkozy be known as the man who saved tens of thousands of civilians and garcia will he be known as the man who brought france to economic ruin never ending war in libya he must go g eight leaders agreed word for word in their declaration about gadhafi saying he has lost all legitimacy though it's understood behind closed doors there was harsh debate on the sidelines russia was asked to step in and broker a cease fire it accepted and will send an envoy but we are in touch with both sides the new forces in gonzi and representatives but we haven't broken diplomatic ties i think it's useful in any case because we're trying to make closer approaches and reducing the reasons for the escalation of violence which is still ongoing we discussed it at the g eight and articulations says that it could not be regime has lost its legitimacy gadhafi must step down russia's approach to interfering in the

internal affairs of sovereign nations differs dramatically from the west which appears eager to back some countries but not others it has to intervene in libya it does not show it is intervening in bahrain those and those rational economic and geopolitical it's not about human. to nations agreed a twenty billion dollars support package to arab nations that have toppled autocratic regimes and are struggling to build so-called new democracies on the euro there were statements like this which could all sit up because the euro everything that could threaten the future of the euro will threaten europe as a whole so while huge spending cuts continue in an attempt to prevent euro extinction so will the mission in libya and the spending of billions create leaders my. we have reached consensus on could daffy but can the west now afford to push pick and choose politics even further russia's deputy foreign minister claims a resolution on syria want to even be read let alone signed by russia after the

disaster in libya the question now what will happen to the rest of the arab world facing revolt for now only syria is a possible target with some g. eight leaders going as far to hint a u.n. resolution similar to libya could be an option if tomasky us doesn't back down something russia is more than likely to oppose reporting from the g. eight and he says no way r.t. to feed france. they say is intensifying their attacks against the investigative journalist simon and says says toppling the leave the leader is not being the alliance is interested in the way it's going i think for nato is that you begin to feel that preparing the ground for ground troops right to go already offices offices and so on inside of you just feel that they're beginning to prepare the way i think ground troops what was originally pacifically defending civilian targets

civilians and since in this order now has become much more offensive so the question is the targeting of gadhafi is compound for weeks ago the killing of assad and his grandchildren iraq where exactly is the story i think there's a question that has to be asked and i think you get the feeling that this is beyond gadhafi this is much more about strategically placing your forces inside of a region which is on the going nuts of turmoil. well the libyan rebels leader. has told me that once colonel gadhafi is gone but we know obstacles to peace. the army requirement is that one worker duffy and his son should leave libya among those who served in the previous government that are many of the cuticle people with whom we are ready to have a dialogue so that they can become members of the executive bodies of the future of libya it's colonel gadhafi who is nobbs to go to all of this in the first place it was us from creating secure corridors for medicine and food supplies to those in

need once he starts playing this role the prospect of a dialogue will open up through an intermediary. you can see the full interview in twenty minutes here on the t.v. . now the u.s. is up plowing ahead with plans to build up its military in eastern europe that is telling russia not to worry a new u.s. poland agreement will see thought it gets deployed in the country which moscow says is the lovingly close to the waters where the message the part of the u.s. to. face i think a russia has repeatedly called the joy system but washington wants to separate from the fall shield of the g eight summit on friday to the bottom of it is said is not particularly happy with america's position and want of an arms race and no deal is reached. but sort of a border unless we reach a deal before twenty twenty in the u.s. and see miss our system is finalized it could trigger

a new arms race we have to get going see that this system is not aimed at us no one gave us any such guarantees we're being told to get some countries that pose a threat when we are asking these countries are we keep silent when we are asked do these countries have dangerous missiles no they do not only has the missiles russia has so the conclusion is easy it seemed to us. alarms that have been telling are see that america is reluctant to provide legally binding guarantees along with some of the fence is a good tool for enjoying its own local and blamed divisions within washington and well they are talking about how to make this a joint system the question is what does joint mean 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 you this is tim is no danger to you it's focused on dangers and threats from middle east not from russia there is the obama administration which very much wants a cooperative relationship on missile defense with russia and very much wants another arms control reduction agreement with russia certain republicans in the u.s. senate do not want those things so we have to make that clear distinction between what the ministration wants and what some members of the senate want so focusing on what the administration wants and what russia wants they both want cooperation on missile defense and they both want to move on to a new arms reduction agreement and given that i think there's enough common interest to move that forward. well several people have been forcibly arrested in washington for don't sing out the thomas jefferson memorial well among those held

while the american center album called cash he says he was slung to the ground forces the functional it was all going to live through social networks is a protest against elusive decision that people don't think of a monument the band came in during two thousand and eight when that so this is food police for resting her in the comic songs and where you can watch the four years from three hundred mean streets of the. channel. four news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations throughout the day. so being the police are on high alert was supporters of roundtable are there set to

hold rallies in protest at his arrest a former bosnian serb army chief was captured on thursday after sixteen years on the bomb and is awaiting extradition to the hague to face will crimes charges was indicted in the killing of almost eight thousand girls name and islam and boys it struck me that a country that is out of a reports his arrest has left serbs divided. official belgrade is called the capture of former bosnian general and on monday it's a great thing for their country that sentiment has been echoed by many european officials but with serbia sights set so firmly on the chance of a potential e.u. membership and the billions of dollars worth of grant money that could come with it it seems that they are overlooking the wishes and feelings of the serbian people not a single person we have spoken to here in belgrade have said that they believe arresting a former general is a good thing or necessary for serbia to come to terms with its past many going as

far as to say that the real criminal in this situation is current president but is that they are selling out his people. for the jews he's the biggest clue in the studio he's a serbian we deserve human blood he's our man he's our general right we could study each visit parachuting he would be a team a team. if they are people too high in. the ear of the you can give him the right to money you know what i mean so far belgrade has reacted quietly to the news of the munches arrest and potential extradition to the hague war crimes tribunal but a large rally is scheduled for later on tonight we are expecting thousands of people to gather outside the parliament building in the very heart of the serbian capital belgrade and of course looking back remembering previous rallies when a former leader of one project was arrested and extradited to the hague thousands

of people took to the streets of the capital they are forced by a little dispersed by riot police and many are fearing that this situation could repeat itself if the if is in fact extradited to the hague thoughts as some experts believe the absolute health of this people and the disappointment that they have for their government. actually keep them off the streets the thing is people have been so all disappointed about the outcomes of all these different demonstrations and unfortunately serbia that there's lots of reasons to demonstrate over the years to be a museum is dropping a little bit so i think millions of people are actually help but feel really trust anyone who actually calls them out to the street to demonstrate that they're also worried that the government should provoke them arrest in order to make it easier

to. leave russia or that it already is so for that reason it's hard to say enthusiasm is there but there's a lot of missing a lot of mistrust even for opposition. originally official belgrade forbade any public gatherings following the news of the monitors arrest fearing of course a repeat of the events of a few years ago when that out of the cottage was arrested and extradited to the hague war crimes tribunal but it does seem that every action undertaken by official belgrade is aimed not at the people of this country but at those within the european union who do have the ability to open its doors for serbia but even with the arrest of the home law and his potential extradition not everyone believes that serbia will finally get its dream e.u. membership on not just the defense team assets to appeal his extradition on monday saying his health is too poor to stand up to extradition foreign affairs rice is

said to have called it says even if he gets to the hague not it will face the politicizes the chiefs and used to delivering a one sided judgments. kevin been to the hague both as an expert witness and as a material witness i'm well aware of the folk but it is a highly politicized institution that has been used over the years to provide retroactive. dishful verification of the political position of the western powers that the serbs are indeed the main culprits for all that has come to pass in the former yugoslavia and mark my words over the next few days instead of applauding serbia for finally catching large you will see in the western media yet another orgy of server phobia reminding everybody of thread

and the alleged eight thousand dead that his knowledge is the greatest alleged crime the serbian media are not tightly controlled by the government today than they had ever been under milosevic and all of the media are repeating in unison on their turf the e.u. is some kind of panacea that will resolve the problem now if serbia does join the i think it will be the first time in history that a rat has jumped onto a sinking ship. well here is a quick taste of what's still ahead for you on r.t. a controversial put on illegal drugs in the original saves wage their own unconventional war and of course sixteen thing your forces in north doing in the. last find out what are the usual discoveries that being made in the what is the world i see as continents. george's independence day was supposed to

celebrate liberty but there was little freedom of speech for those wanting to hold government to account for corruption they were pelted with rubber bullets and tear gas and they tried to make their voices heard calling for president resignation sara first reports of a brutal crackdown on protesters in tbilisi. with thousands of own the police closing in on all sides and angry protesters letting out war cries and main streets in tbilisi became a battleground. for cannons rubber bullets and tear gas fired indiscriminately into the crowd many people were injured including a number of journalists are teasing spanish correspondent was among those caught in the chaos the policeman appears ok he was very aggressive with it people start to keep all the people they don't make any arms with nothing and then suddenly being. pain in my stomach and realized it needed some kind of dependability

probably will only give me a good start to. this exclusive the riot police didn't come as a surprise to any of us that it was the scale of the operation that was such a shock so. the police dispersed the crown's they were following me my friends with the song goal to kill as. jealousy covered in a thousand and seven protests that had also resulted in violence said police presence this time with even greater and just. violence all the more shocking given the age of many of the penn state has. this been tough on people the still the revolution an older generation that family be in the crowd said these people are struggling with low pensions and high peak right there in the aftermath worried relatives and friends searched the hospitals for missing people. we came to find

fifty men aged between twenty and forty we're looking for them and we don't know where they are on. the scene and they won't give us any information telling us. the numbers of people injured or arrested of prefix strongly heart ok. h b you know a lot of people who are who have been arrested in government giving advice and information about that there are now international calls for the government to investigate violations of create test is human rights that elites talks of freedom of speech many protesters have paid a high price for trying to have their say. i can't trust anyone anymore i'll never come to a protest rally again i just want to be safe and live yet pray to have once again taken to the streets despite wednesday's violence people here refusing to be silenced. r.t.

to police. now turning to today's news and the president of the republic how. hostile way early on sunday morning. he let his complaints in republic through its own like the sovereignty from daughter. in two thousand and eight. surrogate gap's came to a moscow hospital last week for lung surgery it was reported that the he had difficulties recovering from surgery earlier today it was announced that he had died. was elected to the presidency of our cars here in two thousand and five he left the country throughout these years up to now and through his defining moments in two thousand and eight when the country for the war of independence against neighboring georgia it won independence and. was the country's head when it did so so what now for the future of abkhazian well for the next three months his vice

president will take over the country until elections are held and the country chooses its next president. now emerging economies the challenging the tradition of appointing a european the head of the international monetary fund brazil russia india and china have joined with south africa to say the kind that it should be chosen on merit or both of them in their distress the developing countries should get a fair chance the idea was echoed by prime minister bertie the portion he spoke highly of the french finance minister christine lagarde candidacy is that it's all the e.u. members putin also gave his support to the head a cabinet stance national bank requiring much impact in an exclusive interview with r.t. trying to said it's only a matter of time before europe's monopoly of the job comes to an end. is very much a message that the developed countries in the european countries would like to

maintain the status quo which is not necessarily for. changes in mood for fear of already started but probably do not go far enough now with millions of people dying from drugs something glaus and public awareness campaigns are not enough in the battle against the ball armed with their own methods russian vigilantes are on the warpath against drug dealers but as artists and off their reports they're not always welcome. it said all is fair in love and war and perhaps even more say in the war on drugs drugs but kill two point five million people every year cross the globe and almost two hundred fifty maimed women and youngsters every day in russia alone some are fighting their own controversial battle against the threat payson as customers they arrange to meet

alleged drug dealers and one thing is satisfied this suspect is a drug pusher they serve them a black mark and leave them red faced. people have to know their enemies would look like this people will be free to go out because the next time police may be there. these guys are not alone in rushing there and conventional methods of fighting against drugs their colleagues from the drug free city movement have been accused of torturing addicts after they'd used handcuffs to force them to kick their habit they've also marks drug dealers houses to shame them in the community. it is our uprising against the drug dealers do you think of better to sit at home and watch how the drug dealers will be killing you we managed to unite our forces and declare war to the drug dealers. sociologists a mob just as occurs when people become disillusioned by official afterwards that the public taking the law into its own hands is an unwelcome trend working off of

the border there are a lot of enthusiastic who are striving to eradicate this horrible evil by any means possible but when their actions don't comply with the law the law is against them for sure we can eradicate this evil but only by legal methods there are over five million drug users in morden russia past amounts of money has been blown on reducing drug demand and treating addicts but sadistic so just getting more and more gloomy. this is how some lost activists are trying to stop the madness threatening the country with waterproof dye they must do as they say will have to heighten the public protest three weeks some are skeptical about their methods are others even accuse them of getting but the antidrug vigilantes argue their form of justice is warthe it if it helps save at least one life. if not in our.

a regular experience all in the name of science. the main purpose of our trip to antarctica is to establish a foundation for monitoring different species living on the bottom of the ocean we are studying the distribution of animals that live there and we are studying their nature each day during the short summer season this crew makes multiple trips out to sea where they get a firsthand look at what's below the surface. in this case one in the same biological community stretches from a depth of five to almost fifty meters there are certain variations but mostly the picture is the same it's impossible to say anything now it's too early to draw any conclusions we've got too little information just one sectional view working out of because the waters of antarctica will not only help scientists identify the types of animals living here but by coming back over time they can study subtle changes in the environment and how the animals are affected by those changes in three to five years we will repeat id it's a collection and we can establish whether there have been any changes some animals

might have gone and others me have replaced them we can establish why maybe there are some climatic changes that lead to changes among the populations so it will indicate whether it's got colder or warmer here what they come up with can at times seem a bit questionable if not simply messy while other times they're catch is quite clear but in all cases important to their research so what is log and ships to russia what is then catalogued and still sometimes new discoveries are made constantly i'm cataloguing many new types of muscles my colleagues are doing the same we're always finding new and that salute unknown species proving that there is still much more work to be done in one of the world's coldest ecosystems arctica chant promise or a team of thought here rebel leader in libya explain what he thinks needs to be done to bring appeals to libya about. the week's top stories in.
