europe's most wanted war criminal iraq homeland it is backing against trial at the hague tribunal its supporters in serbia say the former army chief will get a fair hearing in the. financial bombshell an investigation into spanish banks reveals that a large number of the cashing in on the shady business are illegal loans. american soldiers who've witnessed the harsh realities of question why they were deployed in the first place and just what the government is up to.

their good to have you with us today this is our t. and i for must always start with serbia where a former army chief charged with ordering the massacre about eight thousand muslims in one thousand nine hundred five awaits a decision of his extradition appeal come that it is expected in the hague before the end of the week but his supporters believe justice won't be on his side in athens in his country who's been in belgrade since the former generals arrest as much. bringing justice to thousands of victims that's one self-proclaimed success of the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia and it's ready to deliver some more serbia prepares to extradite former bosnian serb army chief that can live each. he's accused of crimes against humanity and order in the one nine

hundred ninety five massacre in the village of three but he needs. despite living on the run for sixteen years and having suffered two strokes the sixty nine year old general has been deemed fit enough to stand trial by the end of the law that will most likely leave this special court house in belgrade and be transported to the hague war crimes tribunal but not one person we have spoken to police he will get a fair trial there surely a lot of evidence to back up the serbs distrust of the i.c.t. why so what do the people here based their judgment on a lot of people here in serbia are skeptical about the some of the practices of the hague tribunal and some of its record for instance because slobodan milosevic died in prison without the conviction then for us war criminals that are generally our knowledge that as a war criminals here in serbia what i mean are from course all. muslim commanders

have actually been acquitted after the sudden death of witnesses or after the tribunal simply concluded that there was not enough evidence had originally is in place only means the only example take constable prime minister. has been accused by the council of europe of being in charge of an organ trafficking group and still remains in his post in general nothing or h. was known among the serb residents of the district it's tipping it's a vampire for allegedly cutting the throats of thousands of civilians he walked free cleared off. chargers and former military leaders separate where you live each accused of mass murders during the balkan war of the one nine hundred ninety s. and to politics having also avoided justice. this many suggest is a very clear indicator that the hague tribunal is being used as

a political tool not a legal one quite clear off the corner impose an era where is it justice or something else events that happened in the balkans were a question of law geopolitics or someone else's interests i believe that all the peoples of former yugoslavia of victims if we let ourselves be involved in a war in the twentieth century for the third time for the sake of foreign interests and no one emerged as a winner the balkan 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 tribunal is going to provide a cover for it. that bitch doesn't believe his father will get a fair trial but at the very least the hague will after him better treatment or. you don't need to be an expert to understand that my father is in a very poor condition he can't even read he has to go through thousands of pages to

be able to testify courts but he's simply unable to do that he has difficulties with speech too how will he consult with his lawyers it's impossible he's got problems with his memory he may remember things that happened long ago but the same time he can remember what happened yesterday or the day before yesterday how can a person with these health problems appear in court about. their i.c.t. why is meant to ask for more than just good medical care europe's trade justice is accused of turning a blind eye just release opinions and has been for some time i'm not at all surprised because when the law of conflict was at its height the western media including the british media was far from objective. will understand why the serbian people demonstrate against the rest of my luggage because i live across them to the fact that the western media always gave a bad name during the conflict and the o.c.

in for myself a war crime in bosnia at a place called a blog which was completely ignored by the media to lead off or to graph weak evidence of the massacre of. civilians in the town serbia's ministry of justice is called the ministry of truth if it reached the ship back a month each after trial that's likely to confirm what a lot of serbs believe that it stands for any other. cashiers are belgrade serbia. on the way keeping a lid on the government secrets. produced judges brushed aside a case to uncover the truth the hunt cia tearing the program we could lie that courts are hoping to keep the public in the dark. fresh explosions have been heard early tuesday needed a libyan capital tripoli came just hours after colonel gadhafi signaled he was

ready to accept a cease fire plan during talks with a south african president nato though is not holding back in its own source within its ministry of defense says instead or it can tap helicopters and that with uncle buster bombs warheads have already arrived early an air base where pallets and we do not get a journalist patrick pays for spiked online magazine told r.t. that other readies its bunker busters libya might still be a hard nut to crack. if you are actually getting worse for the west in libya i think when they first thought they could kill a sweepin two months ago and basically bomb the country into the into a democracy they thought this is going to be quite a quick process where they could basically keep their you know keep a bit of a distance hold warms into libya get rid of gadhafi and then everything will be all right now obviously that isn't the case and the introduction of these the bunker

busting bombs and the apache helicopters are inevitably going to make this worse they could bring about severe civilian casualties in libya and i think also reek of desperation maybe making a lot of noise and for a lot of very expensive bonds over the last couple of months but i see they've done very little well they've ripped the democratic initiative from the libyan people and taken it into the hands of a small elite of western leaders it soon as the no fly zone was implemented as soon as the decision was made by cameron by the by obama to intervene in what was effectively a civil war to basically just fro aside the whole idea of national sovereignty and say we're going to intervene on behalf of the libyan people the poor helpless libyan people you can't save their own matters into their own hands then really it was a very slippery slope from the offsets from the no no fly zone to. to potentially ground troops it's very hard to predict what's going to happen but by

no means should that be ruled out it could happen and it could happen very soon they're desperate to try and end this conflict but they don't really know how to do it so i think they're going to throw everything at it and see what sticks. as more nato bombs raining down on their view it's come to light that one nato member has been supplying arms and their leader several large banks are reported to have and are not seeing them as a consequence a weapon that since two thousand and eight. story. just one striking cluster bombs can spread thousands of smaller explosives a very expensive areas of tin failing to explode children mistake the controversial devices for something to play with these in a toys wired into populated areas as they were in misrata recently they almost guarantees civilian deaths and it's why more than one hundred countries have banned their production markings on the shelves found in the libyan city belong to spanish

company instead. there were arms when twenty's are prohibited that were purchased by the afi that were used against the residential area in these other and they were produced by a spanish company and financed thanks to just how did the forces come to acquire spanish made arms in two thousand and seven installers and make the most of the lifting of the arms thank sions against libya as a tripoli regime fell back into favor with the west the spanish company won a contract to supply gadhafi forces with a match one twenty weapon and did so until two thousand and eight when spain signed up to the international convention banning cluster munitions. but with libya now once again the enemy spain as part of nato finds itself fighting the regime itself helps to arm the trail goes back much further to spanish banks which provided the

financial power to instill larger to make their deadly weapons of war we want to bring this thing forward uses as one of the awaits you illustrates what the embarrassment. of the and conflicts because to me nations convention planning the production and use of cluster bombs has seen many countries including strained sign up but there's a loophole there is one article in the mission convention article one seed. it speaks about a prohibition to assist and a lot of countries countries have already integrated this article as also containing investments spain has not yet done so it means the wall spinster law as it can a longer produce and sell customer relations spanish banks can continue investing in their manufacture spanish n.g.a. said tens investigations have uncovered the screen alone had fourteen banks involved in financing and nineteen makers of cluster bombs b b v a is the spanish

bank this being most active financing produces controversial weapons and it's exactly this kind of large scale financing cain is now trying to rein in pushing for the development of already first policy to ensure the banks are held accountable but without legislation there remains a direct link not only between the weapons could jesus and the banks that finance them but between the banks and the customers breynton what's really transparent about what they are using the c. sievers money for so it's not that easy to find out many of the banks named in the investigation and now coming forward to say their policies on funding arms production are to change but until that happens in the murky world of arms production wall remains a profitable business. r.t. . germany has announced it will be phasing out the energy by twenty twenty

two the decision was influenced by the recent disaster in japan. more so because there was a lot of the consequences of this decision you. hear you were right to say that the country will raise out all of its seventeen reactors are already offline and that's going to happen within the next eleven years though because there's an was welcomed by environmentalists and expected to be very popular among voters skeptically around europe some critics say it's. economic growth for germany to import new great power from france even inflate the cost of energy across the continent though the country is planning to expand the use of bring you the resources natural gas is likely to be the main fuel that will fill the gap and here we can say is that it's likely to increase the role of russia in the e.u. energy market we'll have more analysis in business in about ten minutes. but so

that. the u.s. has been honoring its dead soldiers and the government is being accused of failing to help when troops are breaking back from war and live next marines are left to adjust and life after service all by themselves are struggling to make sense justify the deaths caused by one rock report and i met one former soldier whose account of her grueling in june sheds light on the harsh life returning soldier. yes thank you thank you very much into the infinite world of literature and here's this twenty eight year old ex marine an american who abandoned her weapon four written words to tell a story she says is kept censored from u.s. citizens even people may know that it affects us i don't think that they understand the way. the toll that it takes us and seeing it for.

the literal facts of the bodies that were made i couldn't figure out why are we ordinary doing it again why are we why are we doing this you know and it was this person's life or third just good tells memoir shade it black details a traumatic and human account of war in two thousand and four good old spent eight months in iraq collecting cataloging bagging and boxing the bodies of dead marines at the mortuary affairs unit and experience no u.s. president who's declared war has ever endured if it was a result of an explosion there could be several cases so sometimes that would require us to you know. under a truck or call in the trucks or. just as you mentioned. you know you want to. watch this that you can get back to the families who dealt pieced fallen soldiers back together after receiving body bags filled with limbs on one occasion

a bag she processed was carrying only the heads of her comrades we didn't know what we were seeing when we had opened up the bag we didn't know what was in the bag. when we had gotten that particular body bag so when we're done zip you know as soon as you call that the flap and you see this head suv mediately not look away i mean it's difficult to look at but you have to look at that because you have to you know put them in their respective body bags or send them to their. back to family nearly four thousand five hundred u.s. soldiers have returned from iraq in caskets more than fifteen hundred flown in from america's other war in afghanistan that was a marine and their for the millions who do make it home alive many could tell or twenty by memories post traumatic stress disorder depression and substance abuse i could leave my apartment you know i didn't have friends i'd walk to anybody. and

a lot of it you can't deal with. you know until it's you know i suffer from flashbacks and nightmares and i i couldn't process that i had a really hard to make sense of it more than six years later goodell says she's still searching for reasons to justify the damage and death caused by the u.s. war in iraq as a marine she did what she was told as a civilian she questions why u.s. leaders glorify soldiers as heroes but neglect to speak about the consequences of their service. that their government respects friends because if there is i think i don't think that they would send these places. to carry out what they're asking of us so i don't think that they're it's like this they're like . declaring war is the progress of politicians over the decades the u.s.

wars have resulted in a reported twenty three million american veterans and many left struggling to adjust to life following the battle a shift from fighting enemies to fighting demons were in a fortnight or r.t. new york. but it's not just body bags that the u.s. government is keeping hidden from the public the supreme court has rejected the goal seems against an ad like used of helping the cia transfer detainees to secret prisons where they were allegedly tortured court officials refer to rulings which they're planning to turn down as a clue expose government secrets political analyst for the bennetts told r.t. but a situation that's fundamental american values in the firing line 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 is a very dangerous and particularly in light of the decision by the congress to approve the very contentious parts of the patriot act that allow a wide expansive level of surveillance that wire taps etc by the government this very very difficult very challenging environment for the rights of people in this country our constitution guarantees us the right of free speech the right of free association but all of those things now are threatened by this kind of ruling. over judges have continued covering up washington's darkest secrets even after president obama promised on president of the openness. he started with sean casey he believes the u.s. courts are failing that you're going to uphold the system of checks and balances.

torture is illegal it's immoral it's not completely forbidden by every international convention including the geneva convention in the us is that close to the other party to this is illegal activity and by using be. seeing that state secrets would be. will be revealed it's just a wary about continuing to allow our continuing not to have accountability for news programs and it's deemed by the supreme court passing on even hearing it means that they are not living up to their constitutional responsibility to oversee were good zagat of his job. but if you want to that or the stories we're covering log on to our website our team got the top of this just a selection of what we call the bottom line here today one of the russia's richest media type things is to create
