father of freedom. and georgia's independence day saw blood being washed out of the streets after police clamped down on protesters demanding the resignation of president saakashvili. you're watching the weekly from r.t.r. round up of the top news stories from the last seven days my name is kevin owen it's eleven pm here in moscow 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 his rule illegitimate and discussed ways to broker peace but there are still differences on syria meantime with russia saying it won't back any u.n. action he said listen no reports. new world new ideas host france put that concept on the g eight 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 be known as the man who saved tens of thousands of civilians and by garcia will he be known as the man who brought 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 and accepted and will send an envoy if we are in touch with its new forces in being ghazi and representatives. 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 we could go after you 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's. not should is to intervene in bahrain those and those rational economic relationship because it's not about human didn't. do it 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 while on the euro there were statements like this that's going towards it up because the euro a zero 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 g. eight leaders and. every to consensus on catastrophe but can the west now afford to push pick and choose politics even further russia's deputy foreign minister claims

a resolution on syria one to even be read let alone signed by russia after the disaster in the bia 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 damascus doesn't back down something russia is more than likely to oppose reporting from the g. eight and he said no way r.t. dovid france with nato jets intensifying their attacks against gadhafi middle east analyst told r.t. the lack of political will from those involved in the libyan conflict the real cause of the stalemate. has to be political solution because grocers. look. of the car. was. destroyed i think was the

at least the who. knew it was that which should or. the. lawyers are going to. community. in. the libyan rebels leader was tough pill to lille spoke to us who told us that once colonel gadhafi is gone the big no obstacles to peace. mere acquirement is one word about fairness and should leave libya among those who served in the previous government of that are merely refutable people with whom we are ready to have a dialogue and become members of the executive orders of the future libya it's colonel

gadhafi who is an obstacle to all of this in the first political year prevents us from creating secure corridors for medicine and food supplies and intervals in need but once he started doing this for all the prospect of a dialogue open up through an intermediary. just that you know you see the full interview coming up next hour here on r.t. in a better hour and fifteen minutes time. the u.s. is playing ahead with plans to build up its military to eastern europe but it's telling russia not to worry and you agreement that will see fighter jets deployed in poland which moscow says is alarmingly close to russia's borders the front part of a u.s. missile defense shield will be in place by twenty eight russia's repeatedly called for a joint system but washington wants to separate missile shields at the g eight summit on friday to me to develop said he is not happy with america's position and warned of an arms race if no deal is reached. but the water unless we reach a deal before twenty twenty when the u.s.

and he miss our system is finalized it could trigger a new arms race we have to get down to see that this system is not aimed at us no one gave us any such guarantees we're being told it's against them and countries that pose a threat when we ask who these countries are they keep silent when we ask do these countries have been just missiles no they do not and who has the missiles russia has said look inclusion is easy and saying to us. arms exports and telling our t. that america's reluctance to provide legally binding guarantees about this our defenses end of stalling talks on a joint system tom clean a plane with divisions within washington. 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 system is no danger to you it's focused on dangers and threats from middle east not from russia there is the obama administration which is 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. thousands of demonstrators are in the center of the serbian capitol tonight to protest to the arrest of the former bosnian serb army chief. police using rubber baton to disperse the rally outside the parliament in

belgrade is the latest pictures we got through it was organized by serbian far right groups who considered knowledge a hero and his arrest an act of treason activists were bussed in to belgrade from all around the country riot police are on high alert fearing a repeat of the violence that broke out when the former serbian president out of college was arrested knowledge for his part has denied ordering the killing of almost eight thousand bosnian muslims of srebrenica is now awaiting extradition to the hague to face a war crimes tribunal across live to our correspondent in belgrade catarina a little bit later this hour but meantime these are the latest pictures coming through bit shaky the camera as they were doing just got the feedback actually it's the cameras running around there it's about to cut through our correspondent will come back here in a second time a minute or two has time get the latest from katrina. several people being forcibly arrested in washington meantime why well for dancing at the thomas jefferson

memorial among those held see america present adam koch as you i talked to a bit earlier he told me police in america are there for public safety but to control the population. you can see from the video footage that what we were doing was entirely peaceful we were expressing ourselves through dance and actually there to express our objection to the court ruling for monday that the dancing was prohibited because it was not in spirit with the morial in the way that thomas and thomas jefferson and stalin wanted to be remembered and i knew right away that that was another absurd piece of government crap and we have to stand up against that and say no that's not acceptable first of all you want to legal definition of what dancing is to begin with and i think thomas jefferson would want to be remembered by a place of freedom rather than a place where expression is suppressed so you know that we're just looking at the pictures there of the shoulder when she saw you being full to be thrown out of the ground of the police reaction was pretty brutal wasn't just put silent dancing in

the police force of america does not exist for public safety it does not exist to provide for the needs of the people it does not exist to solve crimes or hunt down criminals exists to generate revenue for the government and control the population and what we did in our demonstration yesterday was frozen through the true brutal nature of the police force and the kind of people the kind of dogs the mentality of those who make up that police force the people who think it's ok to vavi slam somebody and show somebody because they're doing something that you don't like and their excuse yesterday was that what we were going was causing a disturbance at the memorial and essentially making it impossible for other people to enjoy the memorial and if you compare that to the disturbance caused by their arrest which led to them shutting the memorial itself down for thirty minutes they were clearly the greater disturbance yet of i mean as i was highlighting like what you're talking about just now principal of it the dodson say the police violated their right to free expression it does cover the u.s.

constitution that guarantees of freedom of speech and meetings if you look at what i was doing a lot of people are saying there's no way you could get arrested for dancing because you can't dance and i said i said. i don't think it meets the cultural definition of damn see what i was doing well on any legal definition of dancing but if there is some legal definition that says moving the body in a rhythmic way of some guy legally qualifies as dance you know i gotta give it to the officers because if you see that video clearly i deserve. to use a merican present more trouble now but it's one of our top stories of the demonstrators oh consent of the serbian capitol tonight protest the rest of the former bosnian serb army chief the rally outside the parliament has been organized by serbian far right groups who consider about a true hero and his arrest reason the country deserves the sorest we caught a glimpse of really wrong to do with the police using a robot and to disperse protesters what is happening there for this and if you

would. well right now it looks pretty chaotic on the center of belgrade just outside parliament square we've got loads of you throwing grenades and stones at the riot police there on the streets over there if you can see them in full riot gear they're forming basically puja lines stopping people from moving around the city center we've also had a number of riot police vans that drive off into the street it was pretty quiet for for the beginning for most part of the protest it was peaceful but then some you started throwing stones at the police the police started hitting back using their batons basically just bursting the crowd right now i think what they're trying to do is segregate the protesters into smaller groups so they're easier to control and they're doing this by blocking off different here it's around the parliament building and the square where we're standing right now. at the moment this main

street escorted off completely by the riot police and the protesters mostly have been driven away there in the streets surrounding the parliament building and basically trying to regroup throwing stones at the riot police throwing sound grenades basically shouting very sad views of slogans out riot police of course doing everything they can to prevent any further escalation of this violence but it does now look for the moment that everything is more or less quiet here in the center where the rally actually took place but we do know that most of the people here actually left and they are regrouping around the parliament building most of the riot police drove off following them and of course we'll be keeping you updated with exactly what happens tonight in belgrade the first reason why it all the. truth here against the rest of love it what's in store for him no.

well he's of course awaiting the court's decision on his extradition we know that he still hasn't on day one feel about extradition not many people here and sort of you believe that appeal will be granted and of course if he does the same fate as slobodan milosevic out of the car which he will be extradited to the hague to face a war crimes tribunal on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity along with the president what is taught it celebrates that as a personal feat and a win for his country bring him one step closer to a potential membership the people here in serbia as tonight's events also show disagree. and the sleepy serbian village of laws that have almost nothing looks out of place people garden or simply visit their neighbors but one house has had far too many visitors in the last few days and a permanent police guard. initials on the doorstep for the one law uncle

a former bosnian general and allegedly war criminal. it was here but after sixteen years the manhunt for him came to an end the house where former bosnian general 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 while 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 rep of the european union announced her upcoming visit to belgrade and hinted once again at the financial benefits for neighbors again helpful serbia really wants to be helpful all. the e.u. is some kind of promise resolve the problem now if serbia does during the. i think

it will be the first time in history that a wretch has. a sinking ship capturing europe's most wanted man on the day a top representative is in town is certainly an achievement really finally allow serbia to get one foot in the door to the union. commissioner felix he said well this is just today serbia is a step closer to being yesterday but they still need to do major reforms etc rearrest 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 serial with the serbian blood he's our name he's our general right breast which. is. the biggest clue all these feelings have already cost protests to erupt across the country and judging from past experience namely the arrest of adam cogito

another war crimes suspect be a spark of hope. to a large scale filer's public congress catchiness r r t belgrade serbia georgia is a dependent state was supposed to celebrate liberty but there was little freedom of speech for those wanting to hold their government to account for corruption they were pelted with rubber bullets and tear gas instead as they tried to make their voices heard calling for president but his resignation the opposition claims some of his supporters might even be beaten to death. the first reports of a brutal crackdown on protesters. with thousands of founded police closing in on all sides and angry protesters letting out war cries the main street in tbilisi became a battleground water cannons rubber bullets and tear gas fired indiscriminately into the crowd many people were injured including a number of journalists artes in spanish correspondent was among those caught in the chaos the policemen appears ok they was very aggressive with the people they

started it all the people they don't make any arms with nothing and then suddenly being told big bang in my stomach. hit me with some kind of bullet it kind of bullet is probably only give me a name and so. there's a clue into the riot police didn't come as a surprise to any of us then it was a scale of the operation that was such a shock so. the police dispersed the crowd as they were following me my friends with the sound goal to kemas journalists covered in a van bitty thousand and seven protests that had also resulted in violence said police presence this time was even greater and just as. the violence all the more shocking given the age of many of the demonstrators. this being tops some people the silver revolution and all the generation they cannot that they may be in

the crowd thirty's people are struggling with labor pensions and high food prices in the aftermath worried relatives and friends searched the hospitals the missing people might think you. know we came to find fifty million aged between twenty and forty people there and we don't know where they are country hospital but they won't let us in and they won't give us any information telling us to ask the police the numbers of people injured or arrested has proved extremely hard to care. we know a lot of people who are who have been arrested in government giving us any information about them unfortunately this is. two more. persons how long it is people are in here. until there is there are now international calls for the government to investigate violations of protesters

human rights put in its talks of freedom of speech many protesters have paid a high price here 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. yet protesters have once again taken to the streets despite when states by its people here refusing to be silenced . the tbilisi. when you stories today know the president of the colors the republicans died so here we go from sixty two passed away early on sunday morning in a moscow hospital doctors say he'd failed to recover from complications after a recent lung surgery but gap's was the head of cars here since two thousand and five he led the corp republic through its fight for independence from neighboring georgia which three years ago the next three months perhaps the vice president will take over the country until a new leader is of. from one of our stories of greenwald to r.t.

a unique opportunity where scientists can get a firsthand look at how this warming trend affects the local ecosystem. greater amount of fresh water is coming from the land of the sea which forms of fresh water where. surface of the sea water fresh water is lighter so there is some problem that was mixing i was a water coral which could possibly influence a structural or going to play engine 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 it has supported in the past penguin species i believe penguins and chinstrap penguins are declining in this region principally do 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 we're at the beginning of the next cooling trend. i mean indicator on the glass here is the equilibrium lay in how to choose and it's the aisle to choose where the accumulates the minds of snow equals the males of the mind if they sow to choose to get 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 well 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 some where it's getting colder and some where there are new changes

a toll at the same time which tendency occurs in which area is also changing so is the climate here and right most is constant in the future this can also change 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 cantona antarctica a truly spectacular place it is changing rapidly and more knowledge about what is changing and why can only help all of us understand. the planet 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 archie. great series of reports from shawn hope you're enjoying them you know and i'll take the next few minutes the a state of the art russian helicopters soaring to the top of the market in the latest edition of a technology update this month on a short leash before but all updates of the week's main stories on our tease review
