so instead of the trial in the heat. well as people on the ground here in belgrade say the all odds are practically nonexistent not many here believe that his appeal will be successful despite the fact that his lawyers and his family have frequently questioned the objective of the court here in serbia as well as like. the health of the doctors did rule him that safe and well enough for extradition but his family has since been saying that he is becoming weaker and weaker as the days go by email have not been well enough for extradition his lawyers of course saying that they need an independent doctor to come in to do a physical evaluation. rothko. if you will even live to see distorted his trauma one genocide charges and then asked for
5:03 am
a battery of independent doctors to examine the sixty nine year old condition. you . know his lawyers are doing everything they can to delay the ruling of the court we know that a lot of h.'s appeal deadline expires today but in case the lawyers decide to file that appeal by post which is acceptable according to serbian law of course that letter will take some time to reach the court house and is an acceptable delay then a three judge meeting will have three days to decide on whether that extradition will actually take place before a final verdict of some of the top officials here in belgrade but many say those decisions will be made as quickly as possible some even going as far to suggest as to say that the luggage will be extradited almost in the middle of the night with as little or no information about his. extradition given to the media in order to
5:04 am
avoid public unrest of course a like of the unrest belgrade saw a few years ago when former political rewritable encourage it was arrested then of course the city and the country all wrapped it in protest that war belgrade and various other cities and lots of andras the many are fearing that this situation could repeat itself but yes you mention the public but you believe in belgrade since the chance of the rest of the zero zero people reacting to the sounds of his extradition that you. carry to be perfectly honest with you i have yet to speak to a person that has told me that lot of his arrest is a good thing every single one we've talked to the people on the streets fellow journalists taxi drivers shop owners everybody says that the arrest of radical modish is a betrayal by what is tied to they feel that he's sold out his people and his country for something that might not even come true of course we do know that for

serbia capturing about kolob which was one of the key conditions under which their potential the membership could be considered serbia of course wanting the membership on the billions of dollars worth of grant aid that comes with the membership but the people of this country do feel that they've been sold out for something that they don't even believe they need not many people here in serbia actually want to be a part of the e.u. but they do feel very strongly about general modish saying that he's a national hero and that what is being done to him is appalling we also have also heard some information from my colleagues here in serbia that the media has been somewhat tightly controlled by the government and not every information every every bit of information about melodic and his ongoing uphill process is being released to the public but there are myriads of journalists here dozens from all over the world international editions there. we've been keeping watch outside this
5:06 am
courthouse ever since march was arrested last week so hopefully there will be a lot of information available to all of those following this story here in serbia there have been some concerns that information may be limited for them. ok but our correspondents covering this hour of reporting thank you. coming up in the program how the fear of terror attacks is keeping americans in check. it makes people malleable it makes them obedient of course wiretaps and no terror text us government surveillance to keep everyone alert some only third here. in a few minutes. with the motto of protect and serve rings hollow for some of america's boys and blue a group of activists in washington were manhandled on the rest of this weekend for dancing jefferson memorial forty percent of them caucus was among them he was
5:07 am
wrestled to the ground and choked down an officer caught on camera and this is account of what happens. and 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 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 was the true brutal nature of the police force and the kind of people who kind of dogs the mentality of those that make up that police force the people who think it is ok to have 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 essentially made 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 down the moral of the south down for about thirty
5:08 am
minutes they were clearly the greater disturbance we had a quarter there from a local of my n.b.c. affiliate we got a kick out of the memorial these guys were there they were filming the interview before the event they got it all on camera they had their camera men in there recording this thing and the cops keep them out. from the excessive use of force by police so that every coach was struck sins of the patriot act then. since the nine eleven president obama has agreed to extend more. powers and there's no reports you mongers will soon be able to text that's written to people cell phones. the country that created i phones. has more than three hundred million wireless users and in the name of national security the u.s. government will soon have a direct link to each and every handheld device it's like a police officer it's there for good reason but we hope that we never have to hold
5:09 am
for gathered at the scene of the september eleventh terrorist attacks federal in new york city officials join the c.e.o.'s of the four largest wireless carriers to announce the nation's new tech tools and alert system enabling the president and government agencies to blast every american with text messages warning of terror threats weather disasters and kidnappings the cell phone alert system will launch in new york city and washington d.c. by the end of this year expanding nationwide there after wireless users may have the option of not receiving certain alerts but americans will not be able to opt out of messages sent by the u.s. president opponents say politicians are promoting more fear while providing little protection now we have a system of mandatory and inescapable alerts through every cell phone in the land
5:10 am
in the event that the government decides that something is happening that we want to know about now just as the introduction of the patriot act came right after nine eleven so this new kind of technological invasion comes to us without any public discussion right after the assassination of osama bin laden and why you professor and author mark crispin miller says americans are living in an age of creeping authoritarianism and scare tactics the use of fear for any kind of government that created more control over people's lives and thoughts is that it makes people malleable it makes them obedient i mean you go to any airport today. you can see this in action people are weakly taking off their shoes and moving to getting groped under the auspices of airport safety babies senior citizens and everyone in between must now endure pat downs or pass through body scanners before

boarding in the case of muslim americans that may not be enough six days following the killing of osama bin ladin forty moms on two separate u.s. flights were illegally kicked off planes for looking suspicious and you have a few hate mongers who who can can can and you know you've obeyed motions you know that's what people do they play on people's emotions to play on people's ignorance about islam and muslims you see and also this war is creating a climate of fear you see if you see something suspicious in the parking lot or in the store say something immediately in december the department of homeland security began encouraging americans to report suspicious activity to the country's largest food retailer wal-mart partnership with washington has been accused of perpetrating a climate of panic and subsequent need for more surveillance you need to create an enemy for people to rally behind analysts wars and the fact that we're spending over fifty percent of our taxes on war and our national defense when there's really

5:13 am
a look in the four leading emerging economies it's time someone else got to get really good reports on how the brics countries of brazil russia india china and south africa won't take no for an answer. it's a change they don't believe in with the former i.m.f. director dominic store scan out of the financial picture there in addition is looking for a suitable replacement and while the current financial situation in europe may suggest a new approach is needed to solve the problems by looks of it the i.m.f. will go in the other direction the weight of tradition and also the fact that there has been a longstanding view between the united states and europe the u.s. will have the world bank and europe has the fun i'm sure the europeans would convince all leading thinkers on the matter that at this juncture you still need someone familiar with the problems of the euro the euro is the french finance minister christine legarde and while europeans hail her as one of the strongest
5:14 am
economists in the eurozone some remain skeptical about her progress and christine legarde complex and. more of the same as long as they can sustain it's not obvious you know. maybe a. default. perhaps even leaving europe so they may not be able to meet. the train is for them to continue to try places debt is one of the heights in portugal are too far ahead and seek to find themselves in a very similar situation. person asking was to be given the help and what happened to promises of friendship basis some at first seem to have short memories i think if christine does get the job i think it would be a betrayal of the i.m.f. . if you remember dominic strauss only
5:15 am
a few months ago had said that there should be a change in the global order specially since india and china over the last three or four years have been the world's largest economies and it's india and china that have. really the world out of the economic slump that it has been in the last few years is one of the world's most powerful organisations the international monetary fund has the power not only to receive countries but to plunge them into despair take russia for example some say they're going to play the crucial role in bringing about the default of one thousand nine hundred ninety eight which left thousands of people penniless and desperate i remember when the soviet union broke up and and the rest of the g seven prescribed economic advice to the new russia and it was completely disastrous this leaves leashing of the russian economy at the time completely destroyed russia in several ways and i think that's what the i.m.f. has done several other economies are bailing out greece and as you know bailout for
5:16 am
portugal italy and spain are also on the cards sex scandals broken pledges deeply in debt as you are attempts to untangle itself from its fiscal chaos it seems clear that a new approach is vital to stay afloat but the international monetary fund seems to focus more on keeping rising economies out of the picture than on solving the many problems it now faces it involves call r.t. . just over an hour's time marty hears from one non european he was going to support for the i.m.f. popped up ahead of cuz it stands a national bank says it's about time europe's not really and it is some of what he has to say. the developed countries and the european countries that would like to maintain the status quo which is not necessarily fair and i think the changes in name of for already started probably do not go far enough
5:17 am
through developing countries that are going through our serve themselves and trying to change this and for your system maybe it was free and making fifty thousand one hundred sixty s. but different for here anymore. as fuel prices rise to painful levels for most consumers i think access to cheap gas has become very tempting for world leaders america's into tap its own reserves of shale gas is now eyeing up poland's massive stocks as well that could be a boost for europe's energy self-sufficiency there is a big price to pay after the trip reports. it's cheap it's readily available and it's made in the united states washington has hailed shale gas as the next best thing and energy development over the past five years the u.s. has invested billions of dollars into the phils bringing cheap energy to consumers chilled posits like deep underground and unlike natural gas shale is widely
5:18 am
available in the u.s. which means the country doesn't have to depend on overseas import for the shale revolution stemmed from high gas prices the main question right now is how will the shale gas industry survive now the gas prices are one hundred two hundred fifty dollars a barrel which is four times less than they were five years ago when shell development began for. another potential class of shale of course is stopping countries dependent on russia which supplies most of europe with natural gas rights now it's more holds then facts and we have really to think realistically about this source of energy we don't want to think of it terms of cause in russia like america had thought some are already suggesting that if shale deposits are bound to europe russia will lose the bad if it of selling resources to other
5:19 am
countries but the inhabitants of gus braun tower don't seem to be losing any sleep over the likelihood of these new records prospects and of countries like france have already put in place a ban on shale gas extraction on their territories. we are working the situation and we think that locally to very viable but it will remain a local gas supply it's impossible to extra gas at a loss for long and if you look at the shale gas suppliers right now you'll see that most of them are losing money. chil gas may be easily available but its development does not come cheap but when you order to get shale gas you must rule horizontally incessantly and that means the profit margin of the process gets lost very fast. and it's environmentally and human friendly status is also in question with the chill gases extracted by hydro fracking that means special
5:20 am
chemicals around into the water to break up the rock formations components of these chemicals are kept secret by the companies in the united states and claim it's a commercial secret put dark water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water some shale gas development pose a serious threat to the environment and health. chill gas may be fast on its way to becoming a total game changer on the u.s. energy market but like any simming miracle cure shale gas may prove yet and not a false and dangerous economy if you look at each of our chief most scale. that we've got some other international news at this hour security forces in yemen have opened fire on protesters in the southern city killing at least twenty people scores of others were taken to hospital drugs shot wounds and injuries caused by tear gas police try to storm a central square where antigovernment demonstrations have been taking place for days the country's rights by protests for months presence.
