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

there and online twenty four hours a day with world news are not small this is r.t. well the top story now in serbia where a former army chief charged with ordering the massacre of up to eight thousand muslims and nine hundred ninety five awaits a decision on his extradition appeal that it is expected in the hague any day now but his supporters believe justice will be on his side in the netherlands. who has been in belgrade since the former generals arrest has not. 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 light each. he's accused of crimes against humanity and already in one thousand nine hundred

ninety five massacre in a village of three. 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 we will most likely leave the special court house in belgrade and be transported to the hague war crimes tribunal that 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 proclivities of the high paid tribute on some of its record for instance because slobodan milosevic died in prison without the conviction them for us war criminals that are generally knowledged as a war criminals here in serbia was one of the ny from course. muslim commanders

have actually been acquitted after. death of witnesses or after the tribunals simply concluded that there was more. evidence how did they isn't but only means the only example taker and 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 bosnian general nasser or h. was known among serb residents of the districts to be nice or as the vampire for allegedly cutting the throats of thousands of civilians he was. three cleared of all charges and from a military leader seven crowley 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. is it justice or something else events that happened in the balkans or the question of law geopolitics or someone else's interests i believe that all the peoples of the former yugoslavia of victims are going to be 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. in 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 can lead which doesn't believe his father will get a fair trial but at the very least the hague will are for him better treatment or. you don't need to be an expert to understand my father is in a very poor condition he can't even read and 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 where you are with them but there are a c.t.y. is meant to offer a more than just good medical care the europe's lady justice is accused of turning a blind eye to secure these opinions and has been for some time i'm not at all surprised because when the first law of conflict resulted in the western media including the british media was far from objectively. will understand why the serbian people demonstrated against the rest of the luggage because they live across them to the fact that the western media always gave a bad name during the conflict and inform myself

a war crime involved here at a place called blood which was completely ignored by the media police are photographs evidence of the massacre of. civilians in the town serbia's ministry of justice is called the ministry of truth if it reaches the ship from one each of the trial that's likely to confirm what a lot of serbs believe but it stands for neither. cashiers are belgrade serbia. on the way in the program keeping a lid on the government's secrets as u.s. judges brushed aside a case to uncover the truth behind the cia interrogation program we'll look at why the courts are hoping to keep a particular type of. fresh explosions have been heard early on tuesday near the libyan capital tripoli came just hours after colonel gadhafi was ready to

accept a cease fire to talk to the south african president then so there was not holding back in its own sort of minister of defense says it's to deploy a hatchet attack helicopters of bunker buster bombs the warheads have already arrived at an italian place where pilots will fly missions of the libyan targets but journalist patrick haynes from lights online magazine told r.t. the idea of the red is its bug. 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 pull it through pin two months ago and basically bomb the country into the thing for democracy they thought this was going to be quite a quick process where they could basically keep their. distance oh boy move 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 new bunker busting bombs from the apache helicopters are inevitably going to make this worse they could bring about

civilian casualties in libya and i think also reek of desperation maybe making a lot of noise and a lot of very expensive bombs over the last couple of months but i think they've 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 the no fly zone was implemented as soon as the decision was made by cameron by the by obama in for bein in. the world's effect would be a civil war to basically just throw aside the whole idea of national sovereignty and say we're going to intervene on behalf of the libyan people to poor helpless libyan people you can't save your own mouth and into their own hands then really it was a very slippery slope from the offset from the no no fly zone to bombing 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 feel what sticks. but as more and they tow bombs rained down on libya it's comes alive but one nato member has been supplying arms to libyan leader several large spanish banks are reported to have been finance in atlanta fractures of cluster bombs weapon that's bad since two thousand and eight surface more. just one striking cluster bombs can spread thousands of smaller explosives a very expensive areas after 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 that's why more than one hundred countries have banned their production the markings on the shelves found in the libyan city belonged to spanish company instead. there were arms that one twenty are

prohibited that were purchased by the afi that were used against a residential area in these rather and they were produced by a spanish company and financed. to just how did the forces come to acquire spanish made arms in two thousand and seven in stiller's and make the most of the lifting of the arms sanctions against libya as a tripoli regime fell back into favor with the west spanish company won a contract to supply gadhafi forces with one twenty weapon and did so until two thousand and eight when spain signed up to the international convention banning customs. but with libya now once again the enemy spain as part of nato finds itself fighting the regime itself helped 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 wanted to bring this thing forward uses as

kind of awaits you illustrates what link there is between. civilian deaths in conflicts because to me missions convention planning the production and use of cluster bombs has seen many countries including spain sign up but there's a loophole there is one article in the mission convention article one see that speaks about. two assists and a lot of countries countries have already integrated this article as also containing investments spain has not yet gone so it means the wall since the last a can no longer produce and sell cluster munitions spanish banks can continue investing in the manufacture spanish n.g.a. said tens investigations have uncovered this plane alone had fourteen banks involved in financing nineteen makers of cluster bombs the b.v.a. is the spanish bank this being most active financing producers of controversial

weapons it exactly this kind of large scale financing taking pain is now trying to rein in pushing for the development of more rape us policy to ensure the banks are held accountable but without legislation there remains a direct link not only between the weapons to jesus and the banks that finance them but between the banks and the customers banks and not really transparency about what they are using the c. sievers money for so it's not easy to find many of the banks named in the investigation and now coming forward to say their policies on funding and production out change but until that happens in the murky world of dance production wall remains a profitable business. r.t. . germany has announced it will be phasing out euclid energy by twenty twenty two decision was influenced by the recent disaster in japan cross live now to. this is

this and more on this really on the business front one of the likely consequences of this decision. broker of this is it was welcomed by environmentalists that expected to be around boaters god it was kept around europe and within german industry and. some are predicting it can harm economic growth in the country to import power from me. countries or even inflate the cost of energy across the continent well but the country saying that it's ready to expand the use of renewable resources still it's not clear how the country will make up for the loss of incapacity without relying more heavily on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas and that is likely to increase for all of russia the e.u. energy market will have more analysis in about ten minutes time and this is program . for your thoughts for that photo. well the u.s.

has been ordering it's that soldiers the government says being accused of friends or troops and make it back for more of the life that's marines are left with just a knife for. themselves and a struggling to make sense and justify that schools war in iraq it's nice to know that one almost soldier was a tells of her grueling and june's chad's lights on the harsh life returning sergeant. 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. that it takes us and seeing it for. the literal facts of the bodies were made while i couldn't figure out why why are we already doing again why are we where we did. you know and it was

this person's life or third jessica goodell's memoir she did black details a traumatic inhuman account of war in two thousand and four could spend 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 body cases sometimes that would require us to you know. under a truck or call in a truck or. just as you mentioned. you want to. watch this if you can get it back to the field like 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 gotten that particular body that someone made and said you know as soon as you call that the flat when you see those heads you've mediately you know with the way 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 bags or send them to the fact that 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 there for the millions who do make it home alive and many like adele are tormented by memories post-traumatic stress disorder depression and substance abuse i couldn't leave my apartment you know i didn't have friends and up 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 could tell 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. where you know what they're asking of us. i don't think that's their it's like if they're like. declaring war is the providence of politicians over the decades us morris have resulted in a reported twenty three million american veterans many left struggling to adjust to

without any judicial oversight is 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 of wire taps etc 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. if you want to learn more on the stories we're covering log on to our website at r.t. dot com it's just a selection of what we have online few there are a few of these one of russia's richest media tycoon says to create a new brand used project urging his recent test case then he's paid independent of the russian paper. and special villages created for children.
