children of each religion. let you know what you know so chilled beer so much so told you that he will do a pretty traditional terms. in serbia butties available in madrid and see. what our national hero or a war crime the fugitive serbian general rock of love which battles moved to hand him over to the european hague tribunal with backing from crowds on belgrade streets. despite the support of the serbs europe's most wanted man is most likely going to be sent to the hague all the details from belgrade in just a few months. bukhari sends apache helicopters to libya to increase pressure on colonel gadhafi but nato troops could read greater risk to. also terror attacks critics say presidential birds sent direct to mobile phones in the u.s.

approach to a climate of panic. while from moscow this is r.t. it's eight pm here now my name is kevin owen in our top story for you europe's most wanted war crimes fugitives lodge an appeal in a serbian court against attempts to have been extradited to the hague to stand trial for the bosnian serb general is charged with ordering the murder of around eight thousand muslim men and boys in one thousand nine hundred five car train as are of his outside the court in belgrade for us. not many people here in serbia believe that a lot of his appeal will actually be successful despite his deteriorating health condition and of the. all the efforts made by his lawyers and his family to prevent him being sent to the hague war crimes tribunals and after the court receives that appeal it then has three 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. or rock community interest you will 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's health condition they capture about kolob it was one of the 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 only three thousand riot police deployed to keep the peace but of course that didn't happen to us on the you started throwing stones and bottles lighting

firecrackers all things went flying out riot police literally saw bricks flying at riot police hitting them on their helmets on their shields riot police that made the decision to disperse the crowd and started hitting them everybody and anybody basically with their butts pawns trying to disperse the crowd separate them so forth they would be easier to control we know that nearly thirty people were injured as a result he 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 a hundred people were detained following those arrests and all. of them are under the age of eighty. those of his katrina czar of reporting from belgrade for us rocco knowledge is lawyer many times called for an independent medical examination of his client saying his health is so bad he won't live to see the start of his trial at the hague foreign policy analyst boylan british believes even if it makes it to the tribunal few and so we have got faith in the way it works. many process

is there have been first of all very long and we can talk about the efficiency of the tribunal the people have spent an enormous amount of time in the hague and a lot of people here in serbia are skeptical about some of the practices of the high tribunal in some of its record for instance. because slobodan milosevic the late president of yugoslavia and serbia actually died in prison without the conviction then for us war criminals there are generally knowledged as war criminals here in serbia like. i deny from course of all like some muslim commanders have actually been acquitted after. sudden death of witnesses or after the tribunal simply concluded that there was not enough evidence

so basically but many serbs do not consider the hague tribunal to be unbiased and fair and in the minds of those people. it is questionable whether whether this trial will be will be fair. there are foreign policy analyst point british talking about how he thinks his trial in the hague is likely to turn out. britain stepping up pressure on colonel gadhafi but applying apache attack helicopters and bunker busting bombs in libya comes as nato chief says the libyan leader's reign of terror is nearing an end result he reports next the u.k. is 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 involve fair amount of risk you can be shot down much more easily than a fast jet so the possibility of nato personnel 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 on 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 a civil war. helicopters apache helicopters there the intensive bombing of tripoli that's going on this is a war about regime training the helicopters markedly the latest escalation of this

conflict following the no fly zone nato sent in advisors to train the rebels introduce train patrols and by the first week of may that nearly six thousand strike sorties with tripoli subjected to the heaviest bombing. a recent you go paul 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 you've k. troops are in significantly more danger just white. people happened. don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blood yeah we've dropped tens of millions of profiles we haven't. but not one single one of the people who is going with. the game and the p.r. . people have marched against the libya war here in the u.k. but in small numbers compared to the million that marched ahead of the invasion of

iraq helicopters bring the fighting close it's a good ground with high risk it. grew up with this. the government might be able to defend that is known as the new strategy makes rapid progress but it doesn't many see the net that troops on the ground incomplete it quiets if you had read the lease it is. a light day to be in full steam libya your and its own sea. still heard busted moves artsy of medical center adam kokesh was told by police but don't think of thomas jefferson the more than d.c. account of what. the program. and the gloves are off the world's biggest emerging economies demand a break from the tradition of putting a european in the top position of the international monetary fund report. a farewell ceremony has been held for the president of karzai of his body was made in

state in the russian capital so he gave a gap start of lung cancer in a moscow hospital on sunday when the leading politicians including president preventive came to pay their last respects a gap from sixty two years old and had led of cars you for the last six years during the struggle to retain independence from georgia because your sovereignty was recognized by russia in two thousand and eight following the georgian military assault on another corporation republic of the city you forget his party will now be flown to a because he his funeral will be held on thursday. in america big brother has a mobile and he's learned how to text the u.s. government now has got a system which can send a merge and see alerts to everyone from blizzards to terror threats the warnings go straight to people's phones but many feel is creating needless panic is not is more important i found out. 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 piece of this is going to it's there for a good reason but we 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 the cell phone alert system will launch in new york city and washington d.c. by the end of this year expanding nationwide there our 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

and the event that the government decides that something's happening that we want to know about but 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 to create 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 to. you can see this in action people are meekly taking off their shoes making beginning 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 sixty's following the killing of osama bin ladin for him alms 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. evoke emotions you know enough people bill 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's partnership with washington has been accused of perpetrating a climate of panic and subsequent need for more surveillance you need to create an entity for people to rally behind wars and in fact we're spending over fifty

percent of our taxes on war and our national defense but there's really no threat directly to this country and they need to keep this following the assassination of enemy number one and american lawmaker called for an increase in rail safety funding and the creation of a no ride list as u.s. officials warn of more terror threats following bin laden's death many americans remain concerned others are left wondering about the dangers of for seeking too much liberty for security. artsy new york. next you don't expect the boys in blue to be viewed black and blue but it's exactly what i am to a group of people who floated a lot of dancing oversold in a flash mall but the thomas jefferson memorial in washington d.c. this weekend was manhandled and arrested and. out of cocoa she was among them he was flown to the ground and choked by an officer all of it caught on camera and it was. but you can see from the video footage that what we were doing was entirely

peaceful we were expressing ourselves through dance and actually there to express our objection to court ruling for monday that the dancing was prohibited because it was not in spirit with the memorial in the way that thomas and thomas jefferson and sell wanted to be remembered and i knew right away that that was another absurd piece of government crap and we had to stand up against that and say no that's not acceptable if you look at what i was doing a lot of people are saying there's no way you could get arrested for dancing because you can't dance we had a reporter there from a local n.b.c. affiliate we got kicked out of the memorial and didn't even report it i mean that's how sad the american corporate media is these guys were there they were filming they interviewed me before the event they got it all on camera they had their cameramen in there recording this thing and the cops kicked them out they failed to

report that fact or any of the incidents of police brutality that happened. well that was adam kokesh talking of earlier giving his account on what happened at the thomas jefferson memorial it was full video if you can call it already at our web site r.t. dot com instantly while you there the stories may interest you too from a russian side to the cold water kosky of serving time for stealing oil plans to request early parole but his lawyer says he's not going to admit guilt because warm up to developing story long running stories one on one tonight. the governor under scrutiny it's reported that all sorts nigga faces an inquiry into whether he can use state funds to cover up his extramarital affair. the race to run the international monetary fund is not so much about who but where kind of it comes from these days europe traditionally decides who gets the post and he was already pushing its preferred choice making it hard for others to get a look in but the five leading emerging economies say it's time that somebody else to go really good reports now on how the brics countries of brazil russia india

china and south africa are refusing to take no for an answer. it's a change they don't believe in with the former director dominic stores can 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 the 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 long standing 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 runner up is the french finance minister christine lagarde and while europeans heal her is one of the strongest economists in the euro zone some remain skeptical about her progress and christine legarde

complex. i think the short run bear. more of the same as long as they can sustain an obvious you know greece maybe at the edge of default. perhaps even leaving europe so they may not be able to meeting but the trend is for them to continue to try greece's debt is what height spain and portugal are too far ahead and soon to find something very similar situation. numbers are asking why must there be or even they admit and what happened to promises of fresh faces some at first seem to have very short memories i think that if christine legarde does get the job i think it would be a betrayal of the. promise if you remember dominic strauss kahn only a few months ago had said that that there should be

a change in the global order. 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. the word out of the economic slump that it has been in the last few years one of the world's most powerful organizations 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 a crucial role in bringing about the default of one 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 lead leashing of the russian economy appetite completely destroyed rational in several ways and i think that's what the i.m.f. has done several other economies bailing out greece and as you know bailout for portugal italy and spain are also on the cards sex scandals broken pledges deeply

in debt as europe 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 and on solving the many problems it now faces it involves r.t. . well r.t. spoke to one non european news gathering support for the top job at the head of ca's expands national bank says it's about time that europe's monopoly ended this is some of what he had to say. and developed countries in the european countries would like to maintain this the impulse which is not necessarily from here and i think it changes and you can. already do this but probably we do not go far enough. for developing countries throwing through our serve themselves and change this one for your system maybe it was for in one thousand feet is

much more about that for you shortly then but right now let's catch up with the monday evening business live from moscow with dmitri. thanks kevin russia central bank is raising the deposit rates in an effort to draw some of the cash out of the economy but at its regular policy needing it decided not to raise the q refinance rate the bank is struggling to keep inflation under control which is currently running at twice the european average now for more on this i'm joined by from mobile which a bank russia us live thank you so much for being with us and so do you think the government's doing enough to team inflation i think clearly the central bank is sending the signal that it can go an extra step to deal with inflationary pressures . i think however given the fact that inflation is significantly above the target level for the central bank which would be around seven percent for this year perhaps we'll see additional measures by the central bank to tackle inflation

leader of this year and so right now it's something like you're in year nine point seven percent as i've been reading up why is it that russia has always had this problem with inflation. well. it's partly inflationary expectations that continue to be so strong and persistent and it takes time and effort and the central bank perhaps will hold have to go the extra step in order to convince economic engines that inflation will come down. but partly it's other factors the systemic changes that russia is undergoing you moving the need to raise regulated tariffs and each year russia has to raise them. quite significantly so this is an additional impetus to inflation that russia faces essentially each year right the kind of face of the stronger ruble which we've been seeing the central bank always you know in a dilemma whether to have a stronger ruble the same inflation would have

a weaker ruble and get more revenues from oil for example what do you see in this respect well i think until the end of this year the balance is likely to be towards a stronger ruble i think the central bank will have to rely on the strong will in order to tame inflation simply because the ruble is such a potent tool in dealing with inflation pressures we've seen it before and i think will we'll see it again in the course of this year right do you see any prospects of price pressure easing actually by the end of the year i mean we're close to elections for example might we see as we did four years ago prices being frozen for products for example well i think that inflationary pressures will moderate somewhat in the course of this year and for the year as a whole we have a projection of eight point seven percent so a moderate reduction from current levels i think partly it will be basic facts that

are quite favorable starting from the second half of the year partly could be the good harvest that people are expecting in the food part of the inflation is certainly very important and we're also seeing some of. the packers including the moderation and money supply growth so i think this combination of factors is likely to lead to some lowering of them flee from pressures to live this year under another many times mentioned problem that we've had as capital outflows this year already where do you see that going right now because we've heard the president your way that you've got a coalition saying that it will be by the end of the year counterbalanced by in with inflation yes i think this is our this is certainly our expectation that in the second half of the year we are likely to see more capital inflows on the hope for us is that triggers like w t o accession like further improvements in investment climate will lead to greater capital inflows so while some of the outflow might continue it is likely to be increasingly compensated by this way to

capital inflow which we hope and the to be more or less balance the capital outflow that we had so far in the course of this year period i thought was somewhat of a chief economist at deutsche bank russia thank you so much. all right let's move on and that we have time to take a look at the stock markets right now is to move to europe if we can and there were only looking at the dax today because the footsie is closed for the public holiday today germany's dax is down just not right now we're seeing them a pressure coming from commerce bank shares they were about three percent but b.s.f. and they are up more than one percent move to russia was a pretty quiet day because as i mentioned is a public holiday in london also a public holiday in the u.s. so rather quiet trading day today put on around point four percent in this environment of lack of news coming from outside russia look at some of the biggest

movers on the my sex and these were mostly energy shares gazprom shares are up around one percent at the end of the session as news it's close to finalizing a takeover of the respect line operates a bell trans gas answer raul one of the outstanding performers of the day up five percent almost after posting a profit of two hundred ninety million euros for the last year that's after the last year before that and the world bucking the trend down one percent was. media reports in order to financial times that the bank is planning merger and acquisition activity and central europe oxytocin cough it also capital wraps up straight. to these very. indicative for the performance of the russian market because you know the u.s. isn't called the u.k. is those who call this significant chunk of russian market participants way. i

think that the people who are placed in the market for the and largely driven by. futures for american more could there was equal prize but overall sentiment with russia has been oversold this could quickly. morals they have to more of from doing in negative news has affirmed and should the through the worst and serving appear in the market sort of the way so i wouldn't say that the is an indication of the beginning of recovery. my business out there will be back next out around fifty five minutes time with an update the headlines are next with a couple of things that.

if. the lib only next to the big guns in egypt but also on the border of peace and war. they're responsible not only for themselves. but also for their loved one . they are ready to take any risk. to the book. i will jump in the streets.
