all the details from belgrade just a few months also in our business bill isn't lawsuits like the secured natural gas liveries the germany as the country turns away from nuclear energy find out more in twenty minutes time. every woman can see this is our see life from moscow our top story about a man believed to have fired the shots that killed a russian journalist anna politkovskaya house been arrested in chechnya suspect. has been on the wrong foot for years well let's get the details now from our core business correspondent medina of course one of our people want to know about the details of this arrest. on the political staff was detained along tuesday early morning at his praise house

of the czech republic so far we have very little information as official sources haven't yet commented on the news but it is already known that he has arrived in moscow for further questioning. he was hiding in belgium since two thousand and eight and many have already lost hope of finding him meanwhile the news of his the transition comes from his lawyer who also defines it's mahmood of his brothers who were believed to be involved in the killing of the journalist the last hours that he hopes to perth know what those innocent of the crime mean violently rather self rule stumm have been charged with conspiring to kill at the drop in the list and generally two thousand and nine of the main suspects were found guilty as the rest of the supreme court of the revoke the rulings. of what else still needs to be done to result of this case what's been the family's reaction to it all as well.

well it is indeed believed to be a complex case on the political scale investigated human rights violations and she was killed to answer the door of her apartment in downtown moscow on october the seventh two thousand and six she worked for a moscow nova and her murder at the time sparked a very strong international reaction and after years of the investigation process and the still not yet known who exactly order of the month meanwhile after the latest news probably cost as brothers that it is too early to celebrate death and major breakthrough in the investigation he says he believes that it. doesn't really know who exactly ordered the killing i came to jena many thanks for the update how cool is this course on the deed of course of. the european court of

human rights has ruled russia the prosecution of formal oil must make mikhail hold of course he was not politically motivated the judge's instructions but did however find out his rights were violated during his arrest in two thousand and three will be exiled of oil giant you colson once russia's richest man is currently in jail for embezzlement and money laundering let's get the latest now from our correspondent test all syria test what exactly did the european court to say today . will be a european court of human rights and to it's a checklist of how to post yet his lawyers that his prosecution was politically motivated sites and a lot of it just to be true basically saying that his lawyers have built by sufficient solid proof to back up your claims that he was making it has to be so that in two thousand and three when he was arrested a political speech how big a financing opposition political groups now if you ask particles beyond the supporters they believe that it was because of his political standing that he had

been aggressive in the first place for. if you should of course had to buy these allegations from the onset now aside from having head of one of the biggest oil companies claim some of these pollute political maneuvering certainly has made this story one that has been very captivating but as of today the european court of human rights had dismissed these claims and had this issue to rest however on another matter the particles he has brought to the court are his claims of the abuse of his rights basically in reference to his being detained without justification prior to his trial and investigation as well as having been detained in cramped unsanitary conditions so on these counts the court did agree with other close vs civil liberties in his claims and therefore had asked the a small school court to pay twenty four thousand euros or thirty five thousand dollars in damages to. the school board had reacted to this of course and they said that they will appeal this ruling should they find any grounds to do so so these are two of the major points that have come out has been said by the good people of

the human rights today it's on the monday just yesterday quick of course also you follow fool parole in the most courthouse that a room gets. that's right on monday we have had of course we did file for today the court had acknowledged that they had received this request that they will be reviewing this request just to give you a bit of a background since as aggressive two thousand and three we have been convicted twice and if you want to get the sense that says he's scheduled for release in twenty sixty five according to his lawyers he has every right to file for a role because he has served more than half of the substance already now while they're still waiting for answers to this at the most the court has said that they will try to give one a swiftly as possible and we can expect a response from them in about two weeks time pages and many times all he says hellcity their reporting from the so. so they have on the program best friends of the. american soldiers witnessed years of bloodshed and cruelty tells

all t. the stories that was sent. that's from us this is. a serbian cooled has rejected the extradition appeal of europe's most wanted war crimes suspect. general knowledge is challenged with a wood ring the massacre of muslims in nine hundred ninety five prosecutors say they'll now push for him to be shipped off to the hague as soon as possible. is an . awful lot of his appeal has been refused by the special criminal court where he's being held right now and the only procedural step after it manes is for the justice minister to sign the extradition letters and as soon as that happens he will be on the first plane out of balance wards the hague war crimes tribunals or the i.c.t. why no appeal can be lodged on his behalf and despite the fact his lawyer did ask for an independent medical checkup for the law they say that because the court's medics cleared him does not actually mean he is fit to stand trial and both his

lawyers and his family say that if he's extradited he won't live to see the trial for serbia catching article modish was one of the top conditions for a potential entrance into the european union and as a result of course access to billions of dollars worth of grant money the people of this country have already voiced their protests and it's not just in this country as well as having a massive protest rally here in belgrade on sunday there was also meeting protests in today's bows and herzegovina in a town called banja luka and that was a thousand strong rally there the biggest one to be held in support of a hospital on the outside serbia of course rallies like these are expected to be continued and that is why perhaps the officials do want to extradite him as quickly as possible while the people we managed to speak to do say that despite the fact the hague war crimes tribunal or the i.c. g.y.

as it's known has been established as a. legal tools for dealing with crimes committed throughout the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. now many people here in serbia believe that in their specific cases the hague tribunal is an objective tool they see it more is a political one not a legal one because for them it seems that the courts are biased against serbia 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's unlike each. he's accused of crimes against humanity and already in one thousand nine hundred five massacre in the 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 and 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.c. 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 high hague tribunal and some of its record for instance because slobodan milosevic died in prison without the conviction them for us war criminals that are generally acknowledged as a war criminals here in serbia like the united from cos the wall like some muslim commanders have actually been acquitted after. 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 kosovo 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 nasser or h. was known among the serb residents of the district that simply needs a vampire for allegedly cutting the throats of thousands of civilians he walked free cleared of all charges and former military leaders severed crowley live each accused of mass murders during the balkan war of the one nine hundred ninety s. entered politics i think also of wanted justice. this many suggest is a very clear indicator that the hague tribunal is being used as a political tool not a legal one protocol it was a corrupt local member of the military is it justice or something else is the events that happened in the balkans or the question of law geopolitics or someone else's interests i believe that all the peoples of former yugoslavia of victims very groups we let ourselves be involved in a war in the twentieth century for the time for the sake of foreign interests and

no one emerged as a winner of 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 europe's lady justice is accused of turning a blind eye distributes opinions and has been for some time i'm not at all surprised because when the law of conflict was out it how it the western media including the british media was far from objective. well 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 the name during the conflict and the o.c. in for myself a war crime in bosnia at a place called blood which was completely ignored by the media. photographic

evidence of the massacre. those civilians in the town serbia's ministry of justice is called the ministry of truth shipping after modish off the trial will have to little to change what a lot of serbs believe it stands for need. catherine as our r.t. belgrade serbia. well i greeted like true heroes of paint she also found furs cheers hunch aches in the hope of a new beginning but for thousands of u.s. troops coming home for war transition to civilian life is a painful one wanted a traumatic memories or not i met one a former soldier who shared her struggle. thank you thank you very much into the infinite world of literature and here's this twenty eight year old pax 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 on us and seeing the effects of war. the literal facts and the dead bodies that were made i couldn't figure out why why are we ordinary doing again why are we why are we doing this 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 the result of an explosion there could be several weeks of this so sometimes it would require us to you know crawl under

a truck or crawl into trucks or. just as you mentioned. you know you want to. watch this if you can get it back to the family could tell 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 back so when we're done zip to you know soon as you call back up laughing you see that's how it's you've made eally 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 expected 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 there for the millions who do make it home alive many like to tell our

tour mentored by memories post-traumatic stress disorder depression and substance abuse i can't leave my apartment you know i don't have friends and fox anybody. and a lot of it you can't deal with. you know until it that 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 our 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 the fact that i don't think that they would send us to these places. to

carry out what they're asking of us. i don't think that's their respect that's their. from the get go. the clearing war is the prerogative of politicians over the decades us wars have resulted in a reported twenty three million american veterans many left struggling to adjust to life following the battle a shift from fighting enemies to fighting demons or enough or r.t. new york. but if you want to see more of any of the stories that we're covering here on r.t. just switch on your computer and log on to r.t. dot com they are find everything you anytime you like including america he's passing out emergency alerts from blizzards to terror threats straight to their homes find out why sun says the case of big brother spreading panic among the public. our special ops the villages the orphans children of being created

a cross russia spring minister those deprived of parental love read more on r.c.u. dot com. russia is pushing hard for a joint european missile defense system with nato spearheaded by the u.s. but the alliance has been slow to say any concrete steps meanwhile a new agreement with the u.s. fighter jets deployed in poland it was part of america's plan to fend shilled moscow says balance alarmingly clings to russia's borders and has repeatedly called for a joint system but washington wants to separate missile seal's the head of the state duma's foreign affairs committee because of because the champ explained what the two sides need to teens who did new arms race. number one is not in a practical spirit immediately in order to create a future global currency missile system number two is. legally binding agreement strong purpose is called the future system and to be sure

that the american or of the nato says the real not the. russian and to create these legal advice in the document is not a difficult task in case we really do not intend to threaten each other in numbers through force used to store a critical corporation on exchange or for information on launchers or on other potential three of you. could use. them in school for a joint commander on the future integrated system nobody believes we will ever have a joint bottom could be pushed to. the top supposed to have certain elements coordinate their actions in an emergency situation and this is what we can start practicing immediately from. now there are reports of fresh

bombing near the libyan capital tripoli they come just hours after colonel gadhafi signaled he is ready to accept a cease fire but it remains defiant that he will not step down nato is not holding back in its onslaught bunker buster bombs from the u.k. have arrived at an italian air base where pilots will fly missions a village being targets britain's ministry of defense says it will also deploy apache attack helicopters but journalist patrick hays from the spite online magazine told r.t. that even a with the alliance readying 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 pull a swoop in two months ago and basically bomb the country into democracy they thought this was going to be quite a quick process where they could basically keep their hands you know keep a bit of a distance hogan's 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 forms in 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 but we're making a lot of noise and for a lot of very expensive bombs over the last couple of months without actually 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 it soon as the no fly zone was implemented as soon as 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 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 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 see what sticks. there from spikes online magazine. the world headlines. yet maybe you read them their rights office says that fifty people have been killed in demonstrations in the city of taiz said sunday reports say hundreds more will happen meanwhile intense has risen. to the capital sanaa between tribal groups and forces loyal to president saleh ending a cease fire agreement the president refuses to step down despite three months of violent clashes against his long. president hamid karzai says he will

no longer allow nato airstrikes on afghan homes because of the number of civilian casualties it becomes a three days after a nato attack killed fourteen women and children cause i said nato was on its final warning but didn't give any details about what would happen if nato didn't change tactics the alliance says the air strikes are a crucial weapon in the war against the taliban. elite u.s. government report claims haitian or forty significantly exaggerated the death toll from last year's earthquake the document alleges the quoted figures of three hundred thousand were six times higher than they should have been haiti has received two billion dollars in aid from international organizations and governments but it says it means that all the eleven billion for reconstruction. last year a record brought on precedented wildfires to russia destroying woodland villages and killing dozens of people find out what's being done to stop that happening this
