demanding the resignation of president saakashvili. hello you're watching the weekly from r t our roundup of the top news stories from the past seven days i'm kevin and it's now one am here in moscow and first thousands of people in the center of the serbian capital tonight protesting at the arrest of the former bosnian serb army chief. place a clash with demonstrators is the relative side of parliament in belgrade a protest was organized by serbian far right groups who consider a hero and that his arrest was an act of treason a corresponding catarina of his their force. it looks pretty chaotic on the center of bill great 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 there are forming basically

a huge law and stopping people from moving around the city center we've also had a number of riot police vans 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 grenades the police started hitting back using their batons basically dispersing the crowd 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 streets around the parliament building and the square this main street is supported off completely by the riot police and the protesters mostly have been driven away there in the streets surrounding the parliament building basically trying to regroup throwing stones at the riot police throwing sound grenades basically shouting various of use of slogans out the riot

police of course doing everything they can to prevent any further escalation of this violence 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 well following them and of course we'll be keeping you updated with exactly what happens tonight carol ruffled a lot of these of course awaiting the court's decision on his extradition we know that he still has until monday to appeal that extradition not many people here in serbia believe that appeal will be granted and of course if he does suffer the same fate as within the last two to another one project he will be extradited to the hague and to face a war crimes tribunal on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity while the person. what he started celebrates that as a personal feat and a win for his country bring him one step closer to a potential even membership the people here in serbia as tonight's events also show

disagree. in 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 on call a former bosnian general and allegedly war criminal outcome lodge it was here that after sixteen years the manhunt for him came to an end the house of former bosnian general michael nottage 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 was it was a wanted man the arrest was only made last week and many have already questioned that timing olexiy 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 wreck of that european union announced her upcoming visit to belgrade and hinted once again at the financial benefits for

neighbors dean helpful in serbia really wants to be helpful all. repeating in unison. the e.u. is some kind of clues all the problems now if serbia does during the 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 large and commissioner feel like you said well this is just a day serbia is the start closer to the thing yesterday but they still need to do a major reforms etc the arrest of a. 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 with the serbian blood he's our name he's our general right. for the

jews who believe he's the biggest criminal these feelings have already caused protests to erupt across the country and judging from past experience namely the arrest of another war crimes suspect a spark of hope could certainly lead to large scale fires on arrest catherine is our of our team belgrade serbia. several people have been forcibly arrested in washington dancing at the thomas jefferson memorial among those. present. he says police in america for public safety but to control the population. you can see from the video footage that we were doing was entirely peaceful we were expressing ourselves through dance the police force in america designed exists 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 it exists to generate revenue for the

government and control the population and what we did in our demonstration yesterday was the true brutal nature of the police force and the kind of people who are kind of thugs 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 while we were doing was causing a disturbance of the morial and actually making it impossible for other people to enjoy the memorial and if you compare that to the disturbance caused by their arrests which led to them which i don't know moral itself down for thirty minutes they were clearly the greater disturbance we had out there from a local high n.b.c. affiliate kicked out of the memorial and didn't even recorded i mean that's how sad the american corporate media these guys were there they were filming the interview with the floor of the event they got it all on camera they had their camera man in there recording this thing and the cops keep them out they failed to report that

fact or any of the incidents of police brutality that happened just yet of a as well as highlighting what you're talking about just now is all principal of it to the dobson say the police violated their right to free expression it is called with the us constitution that guarantees of freedom of speech and meeting if you look at what i was doing a lot of people are saying there is no way you can get arrested for dancing because you can't dance and i said. that i don't think it meets the cultural definition of dancing what i was doing well on any legal definition of dancing but if there is some legal definition that says moving a body in a rhythmic way of some guy legally qualifies as dancing i gotta give it to the officer. clearly i deserve naaman. party of americas out of coke expect was that. duffy suffered a major blow this week's g eight summit in france as russia joined voices with nato allies calling for 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 by any u.n. action that artie's in this in our 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 where will sarkozy who saved tens of thousands of syrians in pain garcia well he is the man who runs to economic ruin never ending war in libya he must go g eight leaders agreed word for word in their declaration about gadaffi 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 benghazi 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

reduce only reasons for the escalation of violence which is still ongoing we discussed it at the g eight and declinations says that we could go after you regime has lost its legitimacy he 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 just to intervene in libya it does not suit is to intervene in bahrain those and those rational is economic is geopolitical it's not about human. did nations agreed up 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 for school or set up because the you're a zero everything that could threaten the future of the euro will threaten europe as a whole so all 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 my. we have reached consensus on it 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 wouldn'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 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 it's now a r t two feed france. nato jets intensifying their attacks against gadhafi investigative journalists told us that toppling the libyan leader is not the only thing the alliance is interested in the way it's going i think for nato is that.

begin to feel that they're preparing the ground for. ground troops already offices offices and so on inside of you and you just feel that they're beginning to appear the way i think with ground troops what was originally specifically defending civilian targets civilians and cities and so on and now has become much more offensive so the question is the targeting of gadhafi compound a couple weeks ago the killing of assad and his grandchildren and where exactly is the story i think is a question that has to be asked and i think you get a feeling that this is beyond gadhafi this is much more about strategically placing your forces inside a secure inside a region which is undergoing massive tone more and more comment about it from the libyan rebels leader to stuff a little who spoke to us about he says was colonel gadhafi is gone as he says it will be no obstacles to peace. mean requirement is that mom worked up and his son should leave libya among those who served in the previous government that are that

are many refutable people with whom we are really to have a dialogue and so that they can become members of the executive orders of the future of libya it's colonel gadhafi who's not support all of this in the first political events hours for freedom secure corridors for medicine and food suppliers and intervals and once he stops it lingers for all the prospects of a dialogue through an intermediary. and if you like sin or that interview i can tell you were showing it to fall on air again here on the arctic news channel next hour. the u.s. is playing out of plans to build up its military in eastern europe but it's telling russia not to worry in a new agreement will see fighter jets deployed in poland which wasco says is alarmingly close to russia's borders they'll form 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 shield for the g eight summit friday to meet were valid said he's not happy with america's position of an arms

race if no deal is reached. what sort of a border unless we reach a deal with all twenty twenty when the u.s. anti missile system is finalized it could trigger a new arms race we have to get guarantees that this system is not aimed at us no one gave us any such guarantees we're being told it's against empowered countries that pose a threat when we are asking you these countries are we keep silent then we are do these countries have dangerous missiles no they do not only has the missiles russia has the conclusion is easy it seems to us. looking ahead within the next fifteen minutes fruitless efforts we look at how present the farmers' mideast peace plan left both israelis and palestinians and how very bad story to come and also this to. science and research in antarctica is not only done in the laboratories in fact most of it's got out here in the field or in this case the ocean john thomas

in antarctica coming up we look at the lives of the scientists here. now though georges independence day was supposed to celebrate liberty but there was little freedom of speech for those wanting to hold their government to account for corruption indeed they were pelted instead with rubber bullets and tear gas as they tried to make their voices heard calling for president saakashvili is resignation the opposition claims some of their supporters might have been beaten to death party sarah for ports and a brutal crackdown on protesters in tbilisi. with thousands of vanity police closing in on all sides and angry protesters letting out war cries the main street in tbilisi became a battle. cannons rubber bullets and tear gas fired indiscriminately into the crowds many people were injured including a number of journalists are teasing spanish correspondent was among days caught in the chaos the policeman appears ok the very aggressive we did people start to feed

all the people they don't make any arms with nothing and then suddenly being told the pain in my stomach. relates the kidney with some kind of bullet this kind of bullet is bullet and the kidney and then they start to. this exclusive the riot police didn't come as a surprise to any of us then it was the scale of the operation that was such a shock so. when the police disperse the crowds they were following me my friends with the sole goal to kill as. journalists he'd cut it in a van bitty thousand and seven protests that had also resulted in violence present this time with even greater and just as severe the violence all the more shocking given the age of many of the demonstrators. there's been some people the silver revolution and all the generation that there may be in the crowd these people are

struggling. right there in the aftermath worried relatives and friends searched the hospitals for missing people. we told them we came to find fifty men 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 have proved extremely hard to gauge you know a lot of people who are who have been arrested and government giving advice and information about them unfortunately with us have been. to more guide persons have a view of the raid that is people are hiding here. there are now international calls for the government to investigate violations of protestors human rights talks of freedom of speech many protestors have paid

a high price for trying to have their say. by contrast to anyone anymore and never come to a protest rally again i just want to be safe and. yet protesters have once again taken to the streets despite wednesday's violence the people here are refusing to be silenced. r.t. tbilisi. present of the republicans died sick of a gap she was sixty two passed away early on sunday morning at a moscow hospital doctors say he failed to recover from complications after a recent lung surgery but gaps was the head of of cars because since two thousand and five he led the republic from its fight for independence from neighboring georgia something which achieved three years ago for the next three months to get his vice president will take over the country into the new leaders of. the stalled middle east peace talks are once again driven a wedge between israel and its main ally the united states israeli prime minister

benjamin netanyahu flatly rejected barack obama's call for a return the pre nine hundred sixty seven borders with palestinians refusing to withdraw from occupied land and if that is going to teach you can report now a resolution is unlikely to come anytime soon given america's seeming unwillingness to challenge its partner. in the us the president obama's calls for peace and a two state solution fell on deaf ears both with israelis for many from the mere mentioning of going back to preen nine hundred sixty seven border lines is unacceptable do. you think it's. because this is going to retrench and with the palestinians who believe there is nothing but words in what the u.s. president has said his narrative of. pressure on it in you know the prime minister of israel or of israel's government now it's like grass it's like a loose things like it's very whole way it's like we are here the right things because they have a kind of information to addressing the powerful pro israel lobby in washington

president obama sneak sure to reaffirm that no pressure would be put on israel to advance the process and his proposed solution was just the friend's advice nice cannot be imposed on the parties for the cancer. no vote at the united nations will ever create an independent palestinian state and the united states will stand up against our first to single israel out at the united nations or in any international forum israel's legitimacy is not a man afforded by analysts say the contradiction of words and deeds has been a constant source of global frustration about the u.s. foreign policy in the middle east one example the obama 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 u.s. veto the resolution the failure of the united states. effectively with the israel palestine issue. apply the president made

a very strong case but we should. follow their rulers but we do nothing when the israelis do all these things. cost. pretty high in terms of our credibility in percentage internationally and that's not important a survey suggests 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 world and say the u.s. supports men and women of the street as opposed to suppressive rulers but it seems he's words resulted in more confusion about u.s. policies particularly when it came to this really palestinian conflict. said what he said in the us each for. most of the palestinians feel

frustrated. i was even with the. media. also. so i don't know who's happy i don't know. president obama is facing pressure from both the international community that has long been suggesting the two state solution of the ninety six to settle more lies is part of that solution and if they're like israel which find that proposal unrealistic president obama's attempts to please both the international community and its will seem to have resulted in yet another nonstarter in the east peace process i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . people stories about cedar columns well this will go online few right now in fact belorussian president mcdonough look at shane killed his his recipe for settling the currency crisis and shut down russian or other foreign media outlets for my. colleague glitch in the u.s. president computer system releases a dangerous criminals on the streets of california but i just bought well so badly

into frigid antarctic waters certainly is not for the timid but this crew is making this dive 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 two little information just one section of you working out of the cars the wonders 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 an idea to 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 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 logging ships to russia what is then catalog then still sometimes new discoveries are made constantly cataloging many new types of muscles my colleagues are doing the same we're always finding new and absolutely unknown species proving that there is still much more work to be done and one of the world's coldest ecosystems arctica john thomas or
