europe's most wanted war criminal drug that it is battling against try that decade tribunals and supporters in serbia said the former army chief won't get a fair hearing in. the bombshell an investigation into spanish banks reveals that and large number have been cashing in on the shady business of illegal arms. american soldiers who've witnessed the harsh realities of war questioning why they would go in the first place and just what the government is up to.

around the world and around the clock this is r t welcome program where we start with serbia where a former army chief charged with ordering the massacre of up to eight thousand muslims in one thousand nine hundred five awaits a decision on his extradition appeal that it is expected in the hague any day now but its supporters believe justice won't be on his side in accordance. who's been in go great since the former generals arrest. 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 on live each week he's accused of crimes against humanity and origin in 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 week that's what it will most likely leave the 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 y 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 high 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 knowledge that as a war criminals here in serbia like what i deny from course of all like some muslim

commanders have actually been acquitted after the sudden death of witnesses or after the tribunals simply concluded that there was not enough evidence how do you know it isn't by only means the only example take current kosovo prime minister question that she 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 serb residents of the district of stripping it so as the vampire for allegedly cutting the throats of thousands of civilians he walked free cleared up. charges and former military leaders separate how little of each accused of mass murders during the balkan war of the one nine hundred ninety s. and 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. is it justice or something else events that happened in the balkans with a question of law geopolitics or someone else's interests i believe that all the peoples of the former yugoslavia of victims and probably if we let ourselves be involved in a war in the twentieth century can hear from her time for the sake of her foreign interests and no one emerged as a winner you. can crises 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 a fair trial but at the very least the hague will after him better treatment so. you don't need to be an expert is one that stands out for my father is in a very poor condition you can't even read so he has to go through thousands of pages to be able to testify in court or police simply unable to do that he has

difficulties with speech to make and how will he consult with his lawyers it's impossible with barneys got problems with his memory he may remember things that happened long ago to couples the same time he can remember what happened yesterday or the day before yesterday how can a person with these health problems if he recalls are probably best for you because . i c t y is meant to offer more than just good medical care and europe's trade 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 law of conflict resulted in the western media including the british media was far from objective. understand why the serbian people demonstrated against the rest of the law. because of their custom to the fact that the western media always gave a bad name during the conflict and the osun for myself

a war crime in bosnia at 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 or the markets off the trial that's likely to confirm what a lot of serious believe it stands for new. cashiers or about r t belgrade serbia. on the way keeping a lid on government secrets. as u.s. judges ruffle side a case to uncover the truth behind the cia interrogation program you know why the courts are open to people like in the dark. fresh explosions have been heard early on tuesday the capital tripoli came just hours after the signals it was ready to accept

a cease fire plan some talks with the president and say there was more holding back and so it's not just for the fences it's to deploy attack helicopters from combustibles. base where pilots will fly missions and it's turned mr hayes from spite of the inmates told r.t. that violence represents bunker busters 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 swoop in two months ago and basically bomb the country into the into democracy they thought this was going to be quite a quick process where they could basically keep their. 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 these the bunker busting bombs actually helicopters are inevitably going to make this worse they could bring about

a civilian casualties in libya and i think also reek of desperation maybe making all of the new ways and for a lot of very expensive bomb over the last couple of months but i think they're 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 through the no fly zone was implemented as soon as the decision was made by cameron by the by obama intervene in what was a thankfully a civil war to basically just throw aside the whole lot. of national sovereignty and say we're going to intervene on behalf of the libyan people the poor helpless libyan people you can't take their own method into their own and then really it was a very slippery slope from the offset from the no no fly zone to mean 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. but as more nato bombs rained down on libya it's come to light that one nato member has been supplying arms to the den leader several large spanish banks are reported to have been financing about of the actions of cluster bombs weapon that since two thousand and eight the story. one striking cluster bombs can spread thousands of smaller explosives a very expensive areas often 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 that's why more than one hundred countries have banned their production and markings on the shelves found in the libyan city belong to spanish company instead. there were arms that one twenty are prohibited

that were purchased by the laffy that were used against the residential area. and they were produced by a spanish company and financed by standers plans to just how did the forces come to acquire spanish made arms in two thousand and seven installations and make the most of the lifting of the arms sanctions against libya as a tripoli regime fell back into favor with the west the spanish company won a contract to supply kit that these forces with the mats one twenty weapon did so until two thousand and eight when spain signed up to the international convention banning custom emissions. but with libya now once again the enemy spain as part of nato finds itself fighting the regime itself helps to arm and the trail goes back much further to spanish banks which provided the financial power to instill larger

to make their deadly weapons of war minus a bring this thing forward uses as kind of a weights to illustrates what link there is between a bank. civilians of conflicts because to me 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 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 loss it can a longer produce and sell cluster munitions spanish banks can continue investing in their manufacture spanish and ten's investigations have uncovered spain alone had fourteen banks involved in financing nineteen makers of cluster bombs the b.v.a. is the spanish bank this in may facts if i don't think repeats is of course

a virtual weapons it exactly this kind of large scale financing they can cain is now trying to rein in pushing for the development of more robust policy to ensure the banks are held accountable but without legislation there remains a direct link not only between the weapons produces and the banks that finance them but between banks and the customers banks i'm not really transparent about what they are using the c c money for so it's not that easy to find it out many of the banks named in the investigation and now coming forward to say their policies on funding of production are change but until that happens in the murky world of van's production wall remains a profitable business. r.t. . germany has announced it will be phasing out n.-g. by twenty twenty two and he was influenced by disaster let's.
