but actually mail it through the post many here of course believing that that is a delay tactic employed so that i cannot it is extradition could be delayed and once that appeal is received by the court then a panel of three judges will have three days to determine whether to grant him that appeal or whether to approve his extradition not many here in serbia of course believing that that appeal will be granted those including his very own son who we managed to speak to a little earlier he told us that he believes the hague tribe you know where his father may well be extradited by the end of this week is nothing but a political tool or a problem for the throw off the kormoran proverbial truth there's no need for comments here the state of the system is clear god is it justice or something else events that happened in the balkans were the question of law geopolitics or someone else's interests i believe that all the peoples of whom we use one of your of victims we let ourselves be involved in

a war in the twentieth century for the sign for the sake of foreign interests and no one emerged as a winner you reap the golden crisis was created much earlier has long been unfolding before our eyes and it has nothing to do with law or justice and the law of this drug you know it is going to provide a cover for its political market has been on the run for sixteen years and has suffered two strokes the sixty nine year old former general is in very poor health physically and mentally according to his lawyers and his family serbia is looking to gain access to billions of dollars worth of grant aid should of course be granted e.u. membership and capturing article modish was one of. he conditions for that the people on the streets saying they believe that from love this is a national hero that is exactly why they took to the streets of the serbian capital belgrade on sunday getting together some ten thousand people rallied just outside

the serbian parliament that rallies seen through and filing when the youths this started throwing firecrackers rocks literally bricks huge rocks throwing them at riot police riot police then of course decided to disperse the crowds doing that rather efficiently by separating people into smaller groups preventing them from regrouping in the center and we saw a lot of people injured according to officials information i am nearly thirty people were injured in the protest. catarina zora reported in belgrade foreign policy i was born on but a pitch believes that even if my dish makes it to the tribunal if you were in serbia how faith and how the system 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 the some of the practices of the

hague tribunal in some of its records for instance. because slobodan milosevic the president of yugoslavia and serbia actually died in prison without the conviction. who are criminals that are generally knowledged as war criminals here in serbia. but i do know from course. commanders have actually been acquitted after the sudden death. or after the tribunal simply concluded that there was not enough evidence. basically but many serbs do nor can see either 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 that was foreign policy analyst giving his opinion on

the water trial in the hague. britain's ministry of defense says it will deploy apache helicopters and bunker buster bombs in libya the warheads each weighing about it of reach an italian air base from which pilots were flying missions over libyan targets in the says it's following a u.n. mandate into protecting civilians or any reports say the alliance may be pursuing a different agenda. and inexorable trends towards escalation that's what analysts a 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 fast jets cannot hit from the air they also involve a fair amount of risk we can be shopped around much more easily than a fast jet so the possibility of military 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 stalls 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 un resolution at the same time as they call for. regime change it's a kind of like a guarantee. frankly they're involved in a civil war in libya helicopters apache helicopters there the intensive bombing of tripoli this is a war about regime change the helicopters markedly the latest escalation of this conflict following the no fly zone nato centered values is to train the rebels introduce train patrols and by the first week of may nearly six thousand strike sorties tripoli subjected to the heaviest solving. a recent you gov poll for the

sun tabloid newspaper showed less than half the presidents now support the intervention in libya but that number is likely to plummets once steve k. troops are in significantly more danger just wake. them god forbid 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 pals with. but not one single one of the people is this guy runs the game and. people have marched against the libya war here in the u.k. but in snowy numbers can. it's the million man march to the invasive that rock helicopters bring the fighting closer to the. high risk of. growing up with. the government might be able to bend that is known as the new strategy makes it but it doesn't many see that as troops on the ground if. you had read the sit it

out. to be enforced in libya your enemies see. where the alliance preparing to deploy a journalist patrick case from spy magazine tells r.t. libya might still be a hard nut to crack. if u.s. and getting worse for the west in libya i think when they first thought they could going to swoop in two months ago and basically bomb the country into the into democracy they thought this is going to be quite a quick process where they could basically keep their you know keep a distance so bombs into libya get rid of gadhafi and then everything will be all right no obviously that isn't the case and the introduction of these new bunker busting forms in the apache helicopters are inevitably going to make this is even worse they could bring about severe civilian casualties in libya and i think also reek of desperation if you're making a lot of noise and for

a lot of very expensive homes over the last couple of months but i see you have done very from el ritz the democratic initiative from the libyan people and taking it into the hands of a small elite of western leaders. stay with us here on r t still to come a cia links travel agent or trip report on why the case of an airline accused of making money from flying terror suspects around the world has been dismissed. and the gloves come off the world's biggest emerging economies demand a break from the tradition of putting a european in the top slot of the international monetary fund. but first the u.s. government now has a system that can send emergency alerts to everyone with a cell phone from blizzards to terror threats the warnings will go straight to people's phones but many fields creating needless panic as artie's marine important . 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 new and it's there for a good reason but we hope that we never have to build for it 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 an 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 to 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 crawl over people's lives and thoughts is that it makes people malleable it makes them obedient i mean you go to any airport. and you can see this in action people are meekly taking off their shoes moving to getting groped under the auspices of airport safety babies senior citizens and everyone in

entity for people to rally behind the endless wars and the fact that 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 in 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 while others are left wondering about the dangers of forsaking too much liberty for security or an artsy new york. for seeking liberty for security is at the heart of our next report this month the u.s. supreme court dismissed the case of an airline accused of providing planes for the controversial extraordinary rendition program as a practice of terrorist suspects. allegedly being transferred to secret cia prisons or broad for interrogation and some claim torture director of the institute for

policy studies for was bene's tells you why she thinks the latest decisions by the government and or pose a threat to the u.s. justice system this is a very serious and very damaging decision that the supreme court has just issued by refusing to hear this case they leave in place a ruling that essentially says the federal government whenever they choose can stop a lawsuit on the grounds of what is called state privilege or state security without any judicial oversight it's very dangerous private corporations private contractors are playing a far greater role in the wars in afghanistan and iraq and elsewhere as well as at home in issues that once belonged solely to the government and this is a huge problem because it means that not only do we have legal decisions such as this new decision by the city by the supreme court the new decision by congress but we also have a situation where when the carrying out of these decisions is done by private

corporations like the boeing corporation there is even less accountability there are even greater barriers between getting information about who is responsible holding them accountable bringing them to justice this is a serious attack on the justice system of this country. for more on the stories we're covering you can always check out our t. dot com here's what's a click away right now there. are russian tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky serving time for stealing the oil has requested early parole his lawyer says he's not going to admit guilt. one of america's founding fathers witnesses and displaying to lack of liberty as r t us presenter adam coke is throttled by police for dancing at the jefferson memorial for a first hand account click on r.t. dot com. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe in turkey thousands have marched marking the first anniversary of the deadly israeli

husing to take no for an answer. it's a change they don't believe in with the former i.m.f. director dominic straws can out of the financial picture they're going to looking for a suitable replacement and while the current financial situation in europe mesa just 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 deal between the united states and europe the u.s. will have the world bank and europe has the fund 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 so the runner up is the french finance minister christine legarde and while europeans heal her as one of the strongest economists in the euro zone some remain skeptical about her progress and christine lagarde becomes the next. i think the short run i want to inspire. more

of the same as long as they can sustain it's not obvious you know greece may be a. default and perhaps even leaving europe so they may not be able to maintain these policies but the trend is for them to continue to try greece's debt is one of the heights in portugal are too far ahead and soon to find themselves in a very similar situation. numbers are asking why must there be you know they met and what happened to promises of fresh faces some of them at first seem to have very short memories i think but if christina does get the job i think it would be a betrayal of the i.m.f. . if you remember dominic strauss kahn only 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. 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 their condition played a 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 the i.m.f. and the rest of the g seven prescribed economic advisors to the new russia and it was completely disastrous this complete. 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 to 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

deepening debt as europe attempts join tyndall 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. . zero pushes it's preferred. other countries argue that a non european should have the job one man catching russia's eyes the head of kazakhstan's national bank grigori march has been talking with r.t. about his plans for forming a powerful financial body. then

outlines of his candidacy for the on math top job came just as big of a surprise to him asked to the rest of the financial community but a big warning margin could quickly garner the support of a number of its european countries including russia is now ready to take on the role of not only a surprise candidate but also a surprise winner and the morning market of the current chief of kazakstan central bank joins us now on r t thank you very much for your time sir you told reporters previously. you learned about these announcements through the s.m.s. message how did it come about. was and asked for more during the annual meeting or we've got a deal on a system devoid of financial service for all of kazakhstan and i go for several

messages from our prime minister and from what i understand there was a decision to come after consultations during the meeting with for prime ministers of serious countries in the us and i wasn't card all those discussions after the session i was immediately sort of by a very poor person. differently it came as a surprise but very different repetition in support for russia or ukraine member of the serious country speaking about your own account of this what do you think. bring to the table personally and as representative of all the c.i.s. countries first of all i had my practical. three week training program and department of monetary exchange offers in one thousand nine hundred four this is very different from a lot of european politicians who do not really know. how the functions

and also another big difference is that because of some of those on the receiving end of a program or going with maintain my interest and actually when i receive when i became the government for the first time in one thousand nine hundred ninety in the mail your thoughts on the eleven years ago we were the first sort of serious country to fully people. and to exit the program but that's a lot of difference from developed countries who are always more on the giving and and the situation changes only recently and as you know all countries are portugal greece and ireland all what very substantial packages for money now one of your strongest rivals is the french finance minister who is neither a banker and nor an economist she is actually a lawyer trained in the united states what sort of masses do you think her candidacy. the rest of the financial community especially to the bric countries i think she's

a very good candidate so i do not know her personally but everybody speaks very highly of her and the film commission is a very impressive for the first sort of business lady and minister and she was voted by several newspapers and magazines as the best sort of finance minister in europe and she deserves a lot of credit for becoming the first female finance minister. in europe but at the same time you have for instance former finance minister of indonesia. and becoming the first frame female finance minister. in the muslim country he is i would say even a bigger achievement than become a near. female finance minister and a leader of friends but the stage her candidacy is very much a message that the developed countries and the european countries would like to maintain the status quo which is not necessarily fair and i think that changes in

i am therefore have already started but probably they do not go far enough do you think the emerging economy isn't very countries in particular should rally around one single candidate does it make sense. yes but not necessarily i mean. i don't put my candidacy if there is someone again it's not the beauty or interest of the bold someone being but it's not for or more diplomatic or having a better program it's more about who is electable and if somebody else is electable or more electable than myself that's fine it's not about to me it's about developing countries trying to are serve themselves and trying to change the sound fair system maybe it was for in one thousand fifty's and sixty's but different for here anymore if you are elected. what sort of policies would be on top of your

agenda redistribution of what most of the courses has already started european debt crisis. because this is a really big issue. or the situation in the us economy and also what i would be very much like could be for. the park months and i am i think was they've been producing some excellent papers in the last fifteen years but unfortunately they're not getting as much providing to as much credit because they deserve i think that i.m.f. and all these sixty five years. i'm asked to remember small impulse knowledge of how this knowledge is not always polluted distribute war on allies by police and makers in different countries and i think that would be a. very important objective he's the managing director of miami thank you very much for your time sir and good luck there kind of my pleasure.
