president saakashvili. to him in moscow i matras are bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news here on our t.v. thousands of demonstrators are in the center of the serbian capital protesting the arrest of former bosnian serb army chief. a rally outside the parliament in belgrade was organized by serbian far right groups who consider a lot of a hero and his arrest treason our correspondent is live there with more. police have been clashing with the protesters has the violence subsided. it has all the riots in the serbian capital belgrade right now but of course earlier that was not the case and meeting up some ten thousand people and a very hard. belgrade just outside the parliament building turned violent at some

point with youths growing scones bottles and firecrackers at the riot police riot police started throwing out things back and at that point a decision to disperse the crowds was made they were a very efficient but also quite brutal in their dispersal we saw some people getting beaten with police but taunts asan being detained we know that a number of people were injured i actually saw some people whose faces were covered in blood most likely from being hit by one of the rocks that were flying overhead a large amount of bricks literally bricks huge rocks just flying through the crowds at the riot police heading that riot police doing everything they could to separate the crowd of course for containing them easier they put that pretty fast it wasn't up to long before the riot was actually over and once again we marveled at the

efficiency of the local authorities they cleaned up the streets in a matter of minutes all of the overcurrent rubbish bins all the broken glass everything that was on the streets was gone in a matter of minutes and order restored but some riot police forces still remain in the heart of the serbian capital monitoring the situation just in case of a repeat of today's events as possible and what's next for rod global lot of himself. the outcome of that is of course expecting to hear what the court will decide concerning his appeal against his potential extradition to the hague the court's decision is due today of course on that matter and we do know that a repeat of last night's violence is possible of course keeping in mind events of a few years ago when the. arrestor former political leader out there on belgrade

exploded in violent protests and it could be possible that a similar thing could happen which is why many have actually said that it is possible serbian officials will extradite him as quietly as possible so in order to avoid protests but of course while serbia official belgrade celebrated the capture of former bosnian general it off on a lot of each. be a necessary step for serbia to come to terms with its past and hopefully open the door into any future for most of the people of this country the arrest is nothing but a betrayal. in the sleepy serbian village of laws that have almost nothing looks out of place people garden or simply visit their neighbors but going to house has had far too many visitors in the last few days and a permanent police guard. initials on the doorstep or do a lot on call a former bosnian general an electric war criminal. it was here but after sixteen

years the manhunt for him came to an end the house of former bosnian general radical knowledge 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 this was a wanted man the arrest was only made last week and many have already questioned the timing a leaked u.n. 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 i now see 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 of the media repeating in unison that 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 gone on a sinking ship captured europe's most wanted man on the day our top presented it was in town is certainly an achievement but really finally allow serbia to get one foot in the door to the union and larger 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 for the arrest. at home a lot h.t.m. visions of serbian president boris thought it 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 his serbian blood he's a name he's a general right. robert says he's the biggest criminal in the soviet these feelings have already cost protests to erupt across the country and judging from past experience namely the rest of iraq yet another war crime suspect serbia a spark of hope that certainly lead to large scale fires like this catching us out

of our team belgrade serbia. several people have been arrested in washington for dancing at the jefferson memorial among those held was r t america host out and coke i should talk with my colleague kevin know what earlier he says police were 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 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 it 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 who kind of oh it is the mentality of those that make up that police force the people who think it's ok to body 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 at the memorial and presidential 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 then one shot in the memorial itself down for about thirty minutes they were clearly the greater disturbance we had a reporter there from a local move i don't b.c. affiliate kicked out of the memorial and didn't even rule horded i mean that's how sad the american corporate media is these. guys were there they were filming the interview floor of the event they got it all on camera they had their cameramen in there recording this thing and the cops. they failed to report that fact or any of the incidents of police brutality that happened get you out of i mean this was was highlights a lot of what you're talking about just now is all principle of it to the dogs and say the police violated their right to free expression it is called with a cousin of the us constitution that guarantees of freedom of speech and need to if you look at what i was doing a lot of people are saying there's no way you can get arrested for dancing because

you can't dance and. 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 the body in a rhythmic way of some kind legally qualifies as dance you know i got to give it that the officers see that video clearly i deserve to have. a world powers have united to call for colonel gadhafi to step down at this week's g. eight summit in the french resort of deauville russia has increased pressure on the embattled colonel with president medvedev saying moscow would help broker a peace deal in libya but there were divisions over syria with russia saying it won't back down or won't back rather a new u.n. action or he's and he said now a reports. 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 one will sarkozy be known as the man who saved tens of thousands of civilians and garcia with. the economic ruin never ending war 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 in new forces in benghazi and representatives of the 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 we discussed it at the g eight and declaration says that it could not be 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 it's just do intervene in libya it does not should as intervene in bahrain those and those rational economic political it's not about humanitarian missions 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 while on the euro there were statements like this is a lot of it is the euro everything that could threaten the future of the euro will for us in 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 in. i have reached consensus on could daffy but can the west now afford to push pick and choose politics even further precious 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 eastern hour r t v france. as bombing raids continued. to have allies that are made by darwin tells r.t. his appear on how to bring the deadlock to when it. has to be political solution to this crisis. who grew. up the car. industry. was the police the who. it was the who should have the

one gave us any such guarantees we're being told some countries that pose a threat when we ask you these countries are we keep silent then we do these countries have just missiles no they do not only has the missiles russia has inclusion is easy and saying to us. stay with us here on r t still ahead a controversial curb on illegal drugs russian vigilantes wage their own unconventional war on narcotics dealers saying the authorities are doing enough plus. scientists all over the world are debating global warming is it happening or is it not i'm john thomas in antarctica and coming up on r.g.p. we explore what people down here are saying about the subject. but first georgia's independence they were supposed to celebrate liberty but there was little freedom of speech to those hoping to hold their government accountable for corruption they were pelted by rubber bullets and tear gas as they tried to make

their voices heard calling for president saakashvili his resignation the opposition claims some of their supporters may have even been to death or he's sorry for reports of a brutal crackdown on protesters in tbilisi. with thousands of vanity police closing in on all sides and angry protesters letting out war cries and main street and civil e.c. became a battleground. water cannons rubber bullets and tear gas or fight 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 policemen their peers ok he was very aggressive with good people and they started it all the people they don't make any arms were nothing and then suddenly being sold it pain in my stomach and the kidney with some pain a bullet expendability the bullet and they gave me and then they started to. physically

go into 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. when the police dispersed the crowd as they were following me my friends with the sound goal to chemists journalists covered in a thousand and seven protests also resulted in violence said police presence this time was even greater and just as. the violence the more shocking given the age of many of the demonstrators. there's been tops by some people the silver revolution that older generation that will be in the crowd these people are struggling with life concerns 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 we come to hospital 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 of prefix stream li hard to care. we know a little people who are little have been arrested and government is giving us any information about them unfortunately or something. to more. persons. and that made this people think is the key to this there are now international coups for the government to investigate violations of pretenses human rights couldn't. read in the speech many pre-tested paid a high price to try and have their say. i can't trust anyone anymore i'll never come to prove their strength again i just want to be safe into mine yet pretenses have once again taken to the streets in spite wayne states

hundred fifty people die every day from drugs in russia or rome with laws and public awareness campaigns apparently losing the battle to save lives with their own methods some russian vigilantes are on the warpath against drug dealers but it's artie's marie if an ocean or a courts 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 that kill two point five million people every year across the globe and almost two hundred fifty men women and youngsters every day in russia alone some are fighting their own controversial battle against the threat gazers customers they arranged to meet alleged drug dealers and the one thing is that is fine is suspect is a drug pusher they serve them a black mark and leave them red faced. people have to know their enemies what they

were quite as people will be free to go out because next time police will 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've used handcuffs to force them to kick their habit it also marks drug dealers houses to shame them in the community but it is our operating against the drug dealers do you think it's 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 the mob just as occurs when people become disillusioned by official efforts that the public taking the law into its own hands is an unwelcome trend work for 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 fast amounts of money has been blown on reducing drug demand and treating addicts as a sadistic so just getting more and more gloomy. this is how the moscow acted. trying to stop the madness threatening the country with well it's approved by the mob do as they say will have to hide from the public for at least three weeks some are skeptical about their methods agas even accuse them of hooliganism put the antidrug be driven to their full move just days more if it if it helps save at least one life. turn out of some other stories making headlines across the globe afghan president hamid karzai has issued a last warning to u.s. and nato forces after more civilians were killed in a suspected coalition air strike two women twelve children died in afghanistan's

doing so he can record exactly how the glacier changes each year and it seems that glaciers in antarctica are getting smaller. if i put our glaciers are changing in size point search engine claimants and i know we know that since the middle or the end of the nineteenth century the majority of last year's are receiving it means there is a general warming over. 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 of fresh water where. the surface of the sea water pressure water is lighter so there is some problem with mixing of the water coral which could possibly influences the structure of. 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 are declining in this region principally due to 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. because i mean indicator on the glass here is an equilibrium lane altitudes it's the altitudes where the accumulates in the minds of snow equals the males of the minds 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. altitudes 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 we have to keep in mind we don't have a situation where climate change is in the same way all over the planet it's somewhere it's getting warmer summer is getting calls are and some where there are new changes at all at the same time which tendency occurs and which area is also changing so is the climate here and right now is constants in the future events can also much emerge 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 southern most part in 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 and if you minutes we speak with the libyan rebel officials to find out how the opposition sees its future right now but first stop the headlines stay with us.
