6:05 am
a lot it will most likely leave this special court house in belgrade and be transported to the hague war crimes tribunal but that one person we have spoken to police he will get a fair trial there are surely a lot of evidence to back up the serbs just trust 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 paid tribunal and some of its record for instance because slobodan milosevic died in prison without the conviction then for us war criminals are generally knowledged as a war criminals here in serbia like around with what i deny from cos of all. 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 did they isn't by only means the only example take current cost of

a 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 mosque in general nothing or h. was known among the serb residents of the district it's tipping after the vampire for allegedly kind of throats of thousands of civilians he was. three cleared of all charges and former military leaders of each accused of mass murders during the balkan war of the one nine hundred ninety s. enter politics i think also of justice. this many suggest is a very clear indicator that the hague tribunal is being used as a political tool not a legal one. as it justice or something else events that happened in the balkans with a question of law geopolitics or someone else's interests and i believe that's all
6:07 am
the problems with former yugoslavia of victims and going to be if we let ourselves be involved in in the twentieth century when the proper time for the sake of foreign interests and no one emerged as a winner you. can crises was created much earlier with his long been unfolding before our eyes and it has nothing to do with law or justice for the law this tribunals 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 offer him better treatment so. you don't need to be an expert as wonders of my father is in a very poor condition i can't even read so he has to go through thousands of pages to be able to testify in court that he's simply unable to do that he has difficulties with speech to make you know how well he consulted with his lawyers it's impossible with barneys got problems with his memory he may remember things that happened long ago the coppers or the same time he can remember what happened yesterday or the day before yesterday how can
6:08 am
a person who have been health problems appear in court or probably are used. to i.c.t. why is meant to offer more than just good medical care and your state justice is accused of turning a blind eye i just read these opinions and has been for some time i'm not at all surprised because when the conflict resulted. the western media including the british media was far from object to. well understand why people demonstrate against the rest of you. because of the accustomed to the for the western media always be named during the conflict mostly in from. a war crime involved at a place called blood which was completely ignored by the media over the legal photographic evidence of the massacre of. civilians
6:09 am
in the. service ministry of justice is called the ministry of truth it restricts the march off the trial that's likely to confirm what a lot of streets believe it stands for new. cashiers are now great serbia. our fresh explosions have been heard early on tuesday near the libyan capital tripoli it came just hours after colonel get back and signaled he was ready to accept a cease fire plan during talks with the south african president who they say though is not holding back in its onslaught britain's ministry of defense says it's to the point she attack helicopters and bunker buster bombs warheads have already arrived at an italian air base from where pilots will fly missions over libyans harkat speech analyst patrick hayes from the spiked online magazine told r.t. that while the alliance readies its a bunker busters libya might still be
6:10 am
a hard not to crack. this is us is getting worse for the west in libya i think when they first thought they could pull 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 hound you know keep a bit of a distance hold 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 bunker busting bombs and the apache helicopters are inevitably going to make decision worse they could bring about severe civilian casualties in libya and i think also reek of desperation of making a lot of noise and for a lot of very expensive bombs over the last couple of months but actually 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 soon as the no fly zone was implemented as soon as
6:11 am
the decision was made by cameron by celko the by obama to intervene in what was effectively 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 the poor helpless libyan people you can't save your own matters into their own hands then really it was a very slippery slope from the offsets for a 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. but as more nato bombs rained down on libya it's a constant like one eight a red that has been supplying bombs to the libyan leader several large spanish banks are reported to have been financing the manufacture of cluster bombs that have been around since two thousand and eight ball was here furthest the story.
6:12 am
just one strike in 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. toys fighting to populated areas as they were in misrata recently they almost guarantees civilian deaths it's why more than one hundred countries have banned their production markings on the shelves found in the libyan city blown to spanish company instead. there were arms that once went. that were purchased by gadhafi that were used against a residential area in these about that and they were produced by a spanish company and financed by spanish banks to just how did the forces come to acquire spanish made arms in two thousand and seven installers and made the most of the lifting of the arms sanctions against libya as the tripoli regime fell back
6:13 am
into favor with the west the spanish company won a contract to supply these forces with one twenty weapon and did so until two thousand and eight when spain signed up to the international convention banning custody missions. 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 wanted to bring this thing forward uses as kind of awaits you illustrates what think there is between a bank. civilian deaths in conflicts because to me missions 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 written convention article one seed. it speaks
6:14 am
about a prohibition to assist and a lot of countries countries have already into this article as also containing investment stream has not yet done so it means the last insta loss it can no longer produce and sell close to me nations 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 the b.v.a. is the spanish bank that's been most active financing producers of controversial weapons and it's exactly this kind of large scale financing they contain is now trying to rein in pushing for the development of more robust policy to ensure that banks are held accountable without legislation there remains a direct link not only between the weapons could cheeses and the banks that finance them but between the banks and the customers banks and not really transparent about
6:15 am
what they are using the savings savers 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 arms production are to change but until that happens in the murky world events production wall remains a profitable business. r.t. . well if you want to learn more about the stories that we're covering here on the us here you can always add more parts more websites boston dot com and here's just a small selection of what we have a long queue outside the movement one of russia's richest media types since it creates a new grandiose our project by merging his recent asset the u.k.'s daily newspaper the independent with a russian newspaper. special villages created for the children of being a stylist across russia to bring happiness to those surprise parental affection.
