high in some of its record for instance because slobodan milosevic died in prison without the conviction then for us war criminals that are generally knowledged as a war criminals here in serbia like what i've been i from courts of all like some muslim commanders have actually been acquitted after the sudden death of whitney sees or after the tribunal simply concluded that there was not enough evidence how do you know he isn't the only means the only example take constable prime minister question. 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 to bring it's a after the vampire for allegedly kind of throats of thousands of civilians he
1:04 am
walks free cleared of all charges. and former military leaders said that while you are rich accused of mass murders during the balkan war of the one nine hundred ninety s. enter 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. of the article or is it justice or something else events that happened in the balkans were they 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 doesn't believe his father will get
1:05 am
a fair trial but at the very least the hague for him better treatment. or spend it with. you don't need to be an expert to understand 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 in court 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't remember what happened yesterday or the day before yesterday how can a person with these health problems appear in court or. i.c.t. why is meant to ask for more than just good medical care europe's lady justice is accused of turning a blind eye just read these opinions and has been for some time i'm not at all surprised because when the yugoslav conflict was up it's hard the western media
1:06 am
including the british media was far from objective. understand why the serbian people demonstrated against the rest of. because they were questioned of the fact that the western media always. name during the conflict. for myself a war crime in bosnia of a place called blood which was completely ignored by the media. and we got photographic 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 on the beach after a trial that's likely to confirm what a lot of serbs believe but it stands for any. cashiers or about belgrade serbia. on the way keeping a lid on the government secrets. let's start a case to
1:07 am
a couple of truth behind the cia interrogation program we look at why the courts are hoping to keep the public in the dark. the. first explosions had been heard early on tuesday near the libyan capital tripoli came just hours after the printer dolphin signaled he was ready to accept a cease fire and talk to the south african president nato though is not holding back on its onslaught britain's ministry of defense says it's to deploy attack helicopters and bunker buster bombs but warheads have already arrived at an italian air base from their pilots would fly missions that may be in targets but journalist patrick hayes from the spiked online magazine thought either body alliance or raise its market bust and libya might still be a hard nut to crack. the situation getting worse for the west in libya i think when they first thought they could kind of swoop in two months ago and basically borman
1:08 am
the country into the thing for democracy and i thought this was going to be quite a quick process where they could basically keep you know keep a bit of a distance bombs into libya get rid of gadhafi and then everything will be all right now obviously that isn't the case and the introduction of the you bunker busting bomb from the apache helicopters are inevitably going to make this if you could bring about civilian casualties in libya and i think also a reek of desperation maybe making a lot and it's and for a lot of very expensive bombs over the last couple of months but that's done very well they've ripped the democratic initiative from the libyan people and taken it into the hands of a small elite of western leaders through this no fly zone was implemented as soon as the decision was made by cameron by celko the. to intervene in what was effectively a civil war basically just throw aside the whole idea of national sovereignty and
1:09 am
free we're going to intervene on behalf of the libyan people the poor helpless libyan people you can't get into their own hands then really it was a very slippery slope from the offsets from the no fly zone to bombing to potentially ground troops it's very hard to predict what's going to happen but we should 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. but as more nato bombs raining down on that it's come to light that's one nato member has been supplying bombs to libyan leader several large spanish banks or ports it's been financing and as a consequence weapon that's gone since two thousand and eight. story. just one striking cluster bomb. can spread thousands of small explosives they very expensive areas often failing to explode children mistake the controversial devices
1:10 am
for something to play with these in toys wired into populated areas as they were in misrata recently they almost guarantees civilian deaths that's why more than one hundred countries have banned their production the 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 gadhafi that were used against the residential area in these rather they were produced by company and finance pastrana just how did the forces come to acquire spanish made arms and t. thousand and seven insolence and make the most of the lifting of the arms sanctions against libya as the tripoli regime fell back into favor with the west the spanish company won a contract to supply it back east forces with the mats one twenty weapon and did so until two thousand and eight when spain signed up to the international convention
1:11 am
planning 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 insta loss or to make deadly weapons of war we want to bring this thing forward users as awaits you illustrates what the interest between a bank. civilian deaths in conflicts because any nations convention banning the production and use of cluster bombs has seen many countries including spain sign up but there's a loophole there is one article and across the nation convention article one see that speaks about approval to assist. a lot of countries countries have already integrated this article as also containing investment stream has not yet done so it
1:12 am
means that well since the larger 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 spain alone had fourteen banks involved in financing nineteen makers of cluster bombs b b v a is the spanish bank this being most active if i don't think produces a controversial weapons it's exactly this kind of large scale finance thing that can cain is now trying to rein in pushing for the development of more robust policy to ensure that banks are held accountable because that legislation there remains a direct link not only between the weapons produces and the banks that finance them but between the banks and the customers buying some locks are really transparent about what they are using the sea sievers money for so it's not easy to find new doubts many of the banks named in the investigation and now coming forward to say

their policies on funding and production of change but until that happens in the murky world of dance production wall remains a profitable business. r.t. . while the us has been dead soldiers the government is being accused of failing to help troops who make it back from war alive its marines are left just about life after service while themselves are struggling to make sense and justify the deaths caused by the war in iraq but. that's one former soldier whose account of her groom jurors should slide on the harsh life of returning soldier. yes the 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
1:14 am
the way. the toll that it takes us and seeing the effects of war. the literal effects on the body of the remains i couldn't figure out why why are we already doing it again why are we why are we doing you know and it was this person's life or things jessica could dels 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 sometimes that would require us to you know crawl under a truck or crawl in a trucks or. just as you mentioned. you know what it.
1:15 am
was that you can get back to the family i dealt pieced fallen soldiers back together after receiving body bags filled with limbs on one occasion a bag she process 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 got that particular body that someone made and that you know soon as you call that the flag when you see that it's had to 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. the 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 right there for the millions who do make it home alive many like could tell are tormented by memories post-traumatic stress disorder depression and
1:16 am
substance abuse i couldn't leave my apartment you know i didn't have friends and 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 kind of 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 i don't know that the government respects the trends because if there is i think i don't think that they would send us to these places. to carry out what they're asking of us so i don't think that their respect is there like.

1:18 am
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 a very dangerous and particularly in light of the decision by the congress to approve a very contentious part of the patriot act that allow a wide expansive level through valence that wire taps and cetera by the government this is a 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. american judges have continued covering up washington's darkest secrets even after
