hello you're watching the weekly from r t a roundup of the top stories from the last seven days my name is kevin owen it's nine pm here in moscow now and first colonel gadhafi suffered a major blow at this week's g. eight summit in france as russia joined voices with nato allies calling on him to quit they declared as a legitimate and discussed ways to broker peace but there are still differences on syria however with russia saying it won't back any u.n. action or he's innocent now reports. new world new ideas host france put that concept on the g a table at a time when it looks like the 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 will sarkozy. say tens of thousands of civilians and garcia

will be known as the man who runs to economic ruin in a 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 and we are in touch with both sides the new forces in gaza and representatives of gadhafi we haven't broken diplomatic ties but i think it's useful in any case because we're trying to make closer approaches to reducing the reasons for the escalation of violence which is still ongoing as we discussed it at the g eight not their creation says that we get a few regime has lost its legitimacy he must step down rice'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 and sutures to

intervene in libya it does not suit is to intervene in bahrain those and those rational economic and geopolitical. g eight 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 but on the euro there were statements like this. because the euro everything that could threaten the future of the euro will threaten europe as a whole so our huge spending cuts continue in an attempt to prevent euro extinction so will the mission in libya and the spending of billions g. eight leaders may. we have reached consensus on khadafi but can the west now afford to push pick and choose politics even further russia's deputy foreign minister claims a resolution on syria won't 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

revolts 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 damascus doesn't back down something russia is more than likely to oppose reporting from the g. eight and it's now a r t v to france with colonel gadhafi now increasingly isolated and nato jets intensifying their return some experts believe russia's role as a mediator is crucial for peace but mark goldman from bill cohen university in turkey says that winning is more important for the alliance only go see it the rebels feel they have the support of the nature of the trees some of some other arab states so they haven't really shown much interest in. communion and i suspect a less. than they were likely next month or so to actually really the major countries may decide on how russia will be able to act as

a mediator but i suspect at the moment trees are lead to. where can you go to. really here is more likely but nonetheless we've brought a close look as options to. very very difficult to imagine. the libyan rebels leader most stuff about illegals told r.t. that one cold af is gone they'll be no obstacles to peace. in the army requirement is one work up and the son should leave libya among those who served in the previous government that are merely refutable people with whom we are ready to have a dialogue so that the commute come members of the executive bodies of the future libya it's colonel gadhafi who is nobbs to get all of this in the first political you prevents us from create and secure corridors for medicine and food supplies and intervals in need once he starts doing this for all the prospect of a dialogue will open up through an intermediary.

and you can see the full interview next hour here on. the u.s. is planning ahead with plans to build up its military eastern europe but it's telling russia not to worry a new agreement will see fighter jets deployed in poland which moscow says is alarmingly close to russia's borders the missiles are part of the u.s. defense shield that will be in place by twenty eighteen russia's repeatedly called for a joint system with washington wants to separate missile shields at the g eight summit on friday to me to rebel if he's not happy with america's position and warned of an arms race if no deal is reached. the lots of the border unless we reach a deal before twenty twenty and the u.s. anti-missile system is finalized you could trigger a new arms race we have to get guarantees that this is tim is not aimed at us no one gave us any such guarantees we're being told is to get some countries that pose a threat when we ask you these countries are we keep silent then we are asked do

these countries have dangerous missiles no they do not and who has the missiles russia has to the conclusion is easy it seemed to us not to go into your. words and telling our t. that america's reluctance to provide legally binding guarantees about missile defense as a stalling talks on a joint system tom cleaner blames divisions within washington. 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 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 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 and 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. next several people who forcibly arrested in washington for dancing at the thomas jefferson memorial among those held were are three american prisons the other in caucasians as it sounds on the ground by officers question was almost insulting that will tell the protest against a recent poll in the dancing at the monument the band came in during two thousand and eight when activists simply for the rest of their full public down signaling what still full footage of other police treating them with outings where you can

were hoping to speak throughout the next hour about this. right come now that she's denied ordering the killing of almost eight thousand pozner muslims at srebrenica serbian police on high alert tonight as supporters of the former bosnian serb army chief planned to protest in the capital and rallies are already being held in bosnia where he was arrested on thursday catarina for artie's in serbia's capital belgrade. following the arrest of a former bosnian general of article bloody force official belgrade issued

a ban on public gatherings fearing a repeat of the events of a few years ago what another leader of that object was also rusted then of course the massive public protests broke out belgrade was a scene of many violent gatherings and of course official belgrade wanted nothing to bark its presentation all over the logic to the hague tribunal to bigger opinion which of course it does hope to get a membership into but there are already several protests going on across the country there is another mass rally scheduled for tonight and i personally myself just on the way to the courthouse where we are right now i saw a lot of small clusters of riot police in full riot gear standing off the main roads in the side streets but in such a way that it's evident that should necessary they could form and try and massive groups almost immediately it does suggest to some that violence could be unfortunately on tonight's agenda for belgrade not

a single person we have spoken to here in belgrade have said that they believe arresting the 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 the current president what is studied for selling out his people. in the sleepy serbian village of laws that have almost nothing looks out of place people garden or simply visit their neighbors but you want to house has had far too many visitors in the last few days and a permanent police guard. the initials on the door stanford you are on call a former bosnian general an allegedly war criminal about accommodation it was here but after sixteen years the manhunt for him came to an end the house where former bosnian general rocco modish was arrested belongs to his uncle which is no secret to anyone in this village or indeed the police despite. regular visits to this house in all the years that not this was

a wanted man the arrest was only made last week and many have already questioned the timing q one report stating that serbia refused to cooperate in the search for europe's most wanted man but most to assume membership negotiations would be cancelled a few days later the foreign affairs reprobate european union announced her upcoming visit to belgrade and hinted once again at the financial benefits for neighbors being helpful in serbia really wants to be helpful all repeating in uni so that the e.u. is some kind of panacea of the problems now if serbia. i think it will be the first time in history that a wretch has jumped onto a sinking ship capturing europe's most wanted man on the day a top representative is in town is certainly an achievement but really finally allow serbia to get one foot in the door to the union commissioner feeling he said well this is just today serbia is the closest thing yesterday but they still need

to do major reforms etc the arrest about the ambitions of serbian president boris tadic couldn't have been spelled out any clearer but his european farsightedness has caused him to overlook what's happening in his own country he's a serbian we deserve human blood he's our name he's our general right. he's the biggest criminal. these feelings have already cost protests to erupt across the country and judging from past experience namely the arrest of i don't care i get another war crimes suspect serbia spark of hope but certainly to a large scale fires like congress catching us are about our team belgrade serbia. looking ahead within the next fifteen minutes. we're going to have a president for the middle east peace. both israelis and palestinians.

plus. when the research and exploration is done the guys here have to have something to do i'm john thomas in antarctica and coming up on r t we explore the daily life around billings thousand station. we do indeed next though georgia's independence day was supposed to celebrate liberty but there was little freedom of speech for those wanting to hold the government to account for corruption they were pelted with rubber bullets and tear gas as they try to make their voices heard calling for president sarkozy for his resignation the opposition claims some of their supporters may have been beaten to death 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 street in tbilisi became a battleground water cannons rubber bullets and tear gas to fight indiscriminately into the crowds many people were injured including a number of journalists artes in spanish correspondent was among those caught in

the chaos the policemen appears ok he was very aggressive we did people start to keep all the people they don't make any arms with nothing and been suddenly being told big pain in my stomach and realized it me with some pain a bullet between a bullet is a bullet and they give me and then i started. to deploy into the riot police didn't come as a surprise to any of us that it was a stale of the operation that was such a shock. when the police dispersed the crowd as they were following me my friends with the goal to kill as. journalists covered in a van that he thousand and seven protests that had also resulted in violence said police presence this time was even greater and just as severe. as violence the most shocking even aged many of the demonstrators. this being tough people

the silver revolution an older generation that only be in the crowd these people are struggling with low pensions and high food prices in the aftermath worried relatives and friends searched the hospitals for missing people. to whom we came to find fifty men aged between twenty and forty. and we don't know where they are in the country they won't let us in. any information telling us. the numbers of people injured or arrest this has proved extremely high. age e-mail alerts of people who are interested in government giving garson information about them unfortunately receiving it here to morrow and i personally have something on trial here and many of its people are here between us and children there is there are now international calls for the government to investigate violations the greatest is

human rights but in mixed 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 to live yet traitors this is once again taking to the streets despite wednesday's violence people here refusing to be silenced there that i see the police the. president of the of cars in republicans die so gave a gasp she was sixty two passed away earlier on sunday morning in a moscow hospital he let his cook asian republic through its fight for sovereignty from georgia in two thousand and eight after reports. came to a moscow hospital last week following surgery it was reported that the he had difficulties recovering from that 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. was our country's hate when it did so so what now for the future of our cars yeah 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. ati's tom watson reporting there for us. stalled middle east peace talks of once again driven a wedge between israel and its main ally the united states israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu said flatly rejected barack obama's call to return to the pretty one hundred sixty seven borders with the palestinians refusing to withdraw from occupied land i was gonna do if you can reports next to resolutions unlikely to come soon either given america's sitting on willingness to challenge its partner.

in president obama's calls for peace and a two state solution fell on deaf ears both with israelis many of whom the mere mentioning of going back to pretty nine hundred sixty seven border lines is unacceptable. he says. because he wants a relationship with the palestinians who believe there is nothing but words in what the u.s. president has said is that a fraction of pressure on it if you know the prime minister of israel or of israel's now or so it's a process like a lose lose thing like it's very whole way it's like we hear the right things that what kind of implementation addressing the powerful pro israel lobby in washington president obama it's me truer to reaffirm that no pressure would be put on israel to advance the process and he's proposed solution was because the friend the device used cannot be imposed on the parties to cancel. no vote at the united nations will

ever create an independent palestinian state and the united states will stand up against efforts to single israel out at the united nations or in any international forum israel's legitimacy is not in order but analysts say the contradiction of words and deeds has been a constant source of global frustration about the us foreign policy in the middle east one example feel bomb administration is called these really settlement expansion illegitimate but when he came to actually voting at the un security council to condemn the settlement expansion is illegal the us veto the resolution failure of the united states. effectively. the president very strong but we should not tolerate. their rulers but we do nothing when the really israelis do all these things and the

cost of all the pretty high in terms of our credibility and personally internationally and that's not important surveys suggest president obama's ratings in the muslim world are as low as ever experts say the inconsistency with which the u.s. reacted to different episodes of the arab uprising is to blame president obama's speech on thursday was seen as a way to reach out to the arab or then say the u.s. supports men and women of the street as opposed to suppressive looks but it seems he's words resulted in more confusion about u.s. policies particularly when it came to these really palestinian conflict. said what he said in the last world. war two the palestinians feel frustrated that this is all i was reading in the israeli media. as well as much so i don't know what. president obama is facing pressure from both

the international community that has long been suggesting the two state solution in the ninety six to seven moralize is part of that solution and if the light is well we tried that proposal unrealistic president obama's attempts to please the international community and this will seem to have resulted in yet another nonstarter in the middle east peace process i'm going to check our reporting from washington. and perspective about the israeli palestinian stalemate to log on to our web site if you get a minute here is that what's online for you about that very subject at the moment israel fearing an escalation of all the violence right now is egypt relaxing restrictions on its crossing with garza's supporters say it's going to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the strip say got more about that on line it r t the coin also one of the story to a glitch in a u.s. prison computer system made the unthinkable happen it released over a thousand dangerous criminals into the streets of california how did that out and
