bring you today's top stories in the 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 or at home a lot of iraq outside the parliament in belgrade was organized by serbian far right groups who consider hero and his arrest treason our correspondent catarina has made . so all is quiet in a east european capital belgrade right now but of course earlier that was not the case a meeting of some ten thousand people in the very heart of belgrade just outside the parliament building turned violent at some point with the youths growing stones 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 batons being detained and we know that a number of people were injured when 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 out 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 and they did that previous past 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 the 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 broke the law 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 with the arrest of former political leader that i caught our attention. belgrade exploded in violent protest said it could be possible that a similar thing could happen which is why many have actually said that it is possible the 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 off the logic as

a great victory for this country 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. and the sleepy serbian village of laws that have almost nothing looks out of place people garden or simply visit their neighbors but want to 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 of former bosnian general an elected war criminal out. 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 while this was a wanted man the arrest was only made last week and many have already questioned the timing

a leak one report stating that serbia refused to cooperate in the search for europe's most wanted man would 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 being helpful in serbia really wants to be helpful. the e.u. is some kind of. problems now if serbia does during the think it will be before its time in history that it has. a sinking ship captured europe's most wanted man on the day a top representative is in town it's certainly an achievement but will it finally allow serbia to get one foot in the door to the union the enlargement commissioner feeling he said well this is just today serbia is a step closer it's a new thing yesterday but they still need to do

a major reforms that set or for the arrest of at home a lot it's the ambitions of serbian president boris tadic wouldn'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. robert says he's the biggest criminal in the studio these feelings have already cost protests to erupt across the country and judging from past experience namely the arrest of i don't care another war crimes suspect be a spark of hope but certainly to a large scale fires like kathleen as are our team belgrade serbia several people have been arrested in washington d.c. for dancing at the jefferson memorial among those held was already america presenter adam coke talk with my colleague kevin owen earlier he believes the police were there for public safety but instead 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 in 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 was frozen through the through brutal nature of the police force and the kind of people who kind of close the mentality of those that make up that police force the people who've been so great a body slam somebody and show somebody because they're doing something that you don't like and their excuse yesterday was that well we were doing was causing a disturbance at the memorial and. presidential make 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 them down for about thirty minutes they were clearly the greater disturbance we had a quarter there from a local of my n.b.c. affiliate kicked out of the memorial and didn't even rule sorted i mean that's how

sad the american corporate media these guys were there they were filming the interview before the event they got it all on camera they had their cameramen in there recording this thing and the cops kids come out they failed to report that fact or any of the incidents of police brutality that happen to the other woman as i was highlighting i go by what you're talking about just now is all principal of it to the dogs and say the police violated their right to free expression it was called the think those in 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's 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 let alone 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 dance you know i gotta give it to the officers because if you see that video clearly i deserve. eight world powers

have united to call for colonel gadhafi to step down at this week's g eight summit in the french resort city of go via russia has stepped up 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 any u.n. action there but he's a nice and now 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 will sarkozy be known as the save tens of thousands of civilians and garcia will be known as the man who runs to economic ruin never ending war 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 saw its new forces in benghazi and representatives are not free 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 articulations says that we 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 just to intervene in libya it does not show it is to intervene in bahrain those and those rational economic geopolitical it's not about humanitarian missions 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 this could all signal because the euro everything that could threaten to future 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. 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 one 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 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 the mask yes doesn't back down something russia is more than likely to oppose reporting from the g. eight and he says now a r t two feet france. with colonel gadhafi now increasingly

isolated and nato jets intensifying their attack some experts believe russia's role as a mediator is crucial for peace mark arman from bill kent university in our korea turkey says winning is more important for the alliance a negotiator. for the rebels feel they have the support of the nation how true is some of some other arab states actually have already shown much interest in. it although really our union and i suspect unless countries decided they were right next month also to achieve a military victory the nato countries may decide perhaps we'll have some kind of compromise and russia will be able to act as a mediator. moment trees the nation lead to. know who we're going to. be here is more likely. we've got a closed door as options to grew which makes a negotiation very very difficult to imagine. libyan rebels leader most dogs will

yield tells r.t. that one's could arche is that down there will be no more obstacles to peace. and the army requirement is that moammar gadhafi and his son should leave libya among those who served in the previous government about that are many refutable people with whom we are ready to have a dialogue so that they can become members of the executive goldie's of the future libya it's colonel gadhafi who is no absolute all of this in the first political future of incidents from creating secure corridors for medicine and food supplies to those in need once he stops playing this role the prospects of a dialogue will open up through an intermediary. and catch that full interview in the next hour here on our team with us pushing ahead with moves to strengthen its military presence in eastern europe with plans to deploy fighter jets and interceptor missiles and poland by twenty eighteen america has moved to allay russian concerns about the plan to site missiles on its borders in two thousand and eight the u.s.

a number of journalists our teasing spanish correspondent was among those caught in the chaos the policeman appears ok he was very aggressive with the people they started it all the people they don't make any arms were nothing and then suddenly being told it pain in my stomach and realized it needed some kind of bullet between a bullet rubber bullet and the kidney and then they started to. deploy 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 sole goal to kemas journalists covered in a venditti thousand and seven protests that also resulted in violence so the 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 dubbed by some people the

mentioning of going back to pretty nine hundred sixty seven border lines is unacceptable in a few nations so much. because you show your interest and with the palestinians who believe there is nothing but words in what the u.s. president has said is that of a fraction of pressure on it if you know the prime minister of israel or of israel's government how it's like a process it's like a lose lose thing like it's very whole way it's like we hear the right things that what you know kind of implementation addressing the powerful pro-choice or a lobby in washington president obama has made sure to reaffirm that no pressure would be put on israel to advance the process and he's proposed solution was just the friend's advice cannot be imposed on the parties to the constant. no vote of the united nations will ever create an independent palestinian state and the united states will stand against the first a single israel the united nations and any international for israel's legitimacy
