climate the timing. of the business news russia says it's ready to resume the export of grain after maintaining about the labels to find out more business salty and plenty of it is. very welcome to you this is all a team from moscow europe's most wanted war crimes if you ship the sets to appeal in the serbian course against his extradition to stand trial in the hague for more goals in the server general run game luggage is a challenge with watering the mud all the around eight thousand muslim men and boys in one thousand nine hundred five covered in a lot of it is outside the court in belgrade and not many people here in serbia believe that a lot of his appeal will actually be successful despite his deteriorating health conditions. and of the. all the efforts made by his lawyers and his family to

prevent him being sent to the hague war crimes tribunal now we know that today is the last day that an appeal counsel made on behalf of our commodities by his lawyer he came out of the courthouse a little earlier saying that that appeal will be posted today and after the court receives that appeal it then has to read days to decide on whether to extradite the man or not his lawyer however saying that he might not make it to see the trial. you won't even live to see distorted his trial and genocide charges and ask for a battery of independent doctors to examine the sixty nine year old health condition they capture about kolob which was one of the key conditions for serbia for a potential entrance into the european union and of course access to the billions of dollars worth of ground a that could come with it but for the people here it's nothing but

a betrayal and that's exactly why they took to the streets of the capital yesterday holding some ten thousand people rally in the very heart of the serbian capital belgrade nearly three thousand riot police deployed to keep the peace but of course that didn't happen to somebody you started throwing stones and bottles lighting firecrackers all things went flying out riot police literally saw bricks flying at riot police shooting them on their helmets on their shields riot police then made the decision to disperse the crowd and started hitting them everybody and anybody basically with their butt taunts trying to disperse the crowd separate them so of course they would be easier to control and we know that nearly thirty people were injured as a result you personally saw lots of people walking around with their faces covered in blood presumably from being hit by one of those rocks that were flying overhead we also know that over one hundred. people were detained following those arrests

most of them are under the age of eighteen. was artie's competent as of in belgrade following developments of the possible extradition of rod came out it's well for more on this that's not a lot of blood wearing the former chairman of the all party british parliament group he joins me live now from london this is where many thanks for being with us here and do you think that militants will get a fair trial if he's extradited to the hague. because certainly the crime in srebrenica was so great that justice must be done the book must be seen to be done because the and of course there's been so much in the news about. the world at the time the really really difficult to be completely objective now what many people are asking is why is the hague seemingly so keen to prosecute alleged war crimes committed by

serbs fog appears to leave the other sides in the conflict alone why for example isn't isn't the tribunals interested in war crimes allegations against the former bosnian general. kossovo i mean this has been touchy. well i. i'm not at all surprised because when the law of conflict was out it's how it the western media including the british media was far from objectivity and i will understand why the serbian people demonstrated against the rest of my love each because of course across them to the fact that the western media always gave a bad name during the conflicts and i oafs i've seen for myself a war cry in past years at a place called blog which was completely ignored by the media and about to go

photographic evidence of the massacre of. civilians in the town. now the serbian government by some in the country has been accused of actually using that it's the sort of call getting chipped to get its must decide e.u. membership do you think that his arrest will actually land belgrade entry into the . well and all that serbia even when i was going there so often during the one nine hundred ninety s. was very keen in the long run to become part of the european union. a lot think of a mixed blessing so that as we've seen from public opinion in our own country and the crisis of the euro fifteen countries like greece. from the e.u.'s perspective doesn't actually need. that but what can it actually brings to the union. world it probably doesn't absolutely need to be as

a member but serbia is in a very important part of your job it's certainly a link between hong and greece to existing members of the your you and i think that will be there will be an advantage for the transporters. within the european union. going back to the rest of night it's now the serbian president boris tadic said he believes that knowledge is a rest will help to bring the region a step closer to reconciliation do you think that really is the case. i think it probably will be because of course the serbian government has been told by the european union for some time that. if we collaborate. go to war criminals or alleged war criminals. will make it easier for it if your new

european community. so i think probably yes i hate cold wearing former chairman of the all party british yugoslav poetry group many thanks speaking to us. britain is stepping up pressure on that colonel gadhafi by deploying apache attack helicopters in libya armed with bunker busting bombs well it comes as nato is chief says the libyan leader's reign of terror is nearing an end but as artists or emmet reports the case decision seems to be moving far beyond mere humanitarian objectives. an inexorable trend towards escalation that's what analysts are calling british involvement in the libya conflict as the u.k. prepares to send in apache attack helicopters. they can fly low they can fly slow so they can hit targets that force jets cannot hit from the air they also evolve the term out of risk they can be shot down much more easily than

a fast jet so the possibility of greater personal be captured on the ground has just gone up the apaches which will be joined by a contingent of french helicopters can maneuver in built up areas and attack fairly small targets they'll make it easier to take out arms stores and target places where colonel gadhafi may be hiding it's part of prime minister david cameron strategy to turn up the heat in libya they seem to think that if they quote the u.n. resolution at the same time as they call for regime change it's a kind of guarantee. frankly they're involved in the civil war in. helicopters apache helicopters there the intensive bombing of tripoli going on this is a war about regime training helicopters markedly the latest escalation of this conflict following the no fly zone in advisors to train the rebels introduce train patrols and by the first week of may have

a nearly six thousand strike sorties with tripoli subjected to the heaviest bombing . a recent you go pull for the sun tabloid newspaper showed less than half of britons now support the intervention in libya but that number is likely to plummets once u.k. troops are in significantly more danger just like we've rarely crops or god forbid we lose ten people happened we. don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blood yeah we've dropped tens of millions of pounds which we haven't got but not one single one of the people who was going up and the game of the p.r. . people have marched against the libya war here in the u.k. but in small numbers compared to the million man march the had to be invasive that rock helicopters bring the fighting closer to the ground with a high risk of death and grew up with this now the government might be able to

defend that as long as the new strategy makes big progress but it doesn't many see the next step as troops on the ground in clear defiance of the u.n. resolution that is out the original mayflies day to be enforced in libya you're ever see. and it's going to live in minutes past five here in moscow here's what else is ahead if we at this hour busters it moves american sends out a call and she was struck by police adult thing out to thomas jefferson memorial in d.c. firsthand account coming. down the gloves are off the world's biggest emerging economies demanded a break from the tradition of putting the european in the top position at the international monetary fund. well so many has been held for the late president. to his body was laid in state in the russian capital so she died of lung

a direct link to each and every handheld device it's like a piece of this is going to it's there for a good reason to hope that we never have to pull the trigger gathered at the scene of the september eleventh terrorist attacks federal in new york city officials joined 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 to 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 in the event that the government decides that something's happening that we ought to know about that 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 they use fear for any kind of government that craves 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 meekly taking off their shoes and moving to getting groped under the auspices of airport safety babies senior citizens and
