all i'll see tonight certainly is sent rocco garbage to the international criminal tribunal on charges of genocide during the bosnian war of projective music's traditional thinking. not serbs believe logic long get a fair trial in the hague which they accuse of being biased against their country all the details from belgrade in just a few months. also in the program the main suspect in the murder of russian journalist anna politkovskaya is a rest in chechnya. is on the run i'm just now being questioned in moscow. and the european court of human rights rejects accusations that russia's

prosecutions of jailed ex oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky was driven by politics. hello this is a scene from moscow it's not choose date night i'm kevin owen i'm first breaking news news within the last hour former bosnian serb general radko nottage has boarded a plane for the hague where he'll face a war crimes tribunal that's a first serbian court rejected his appeal against extradition knowledge is charged with ordering the massacre of muslims in one thousand nine hundred five trina's out of his in belgrade she joins us now along the latest country a very good evening. to arrive in the hague as i mentioned what can we expect when he gets there and what's next. all right a lot of cheers as you say on his way to the hague right now that was confirmed by

the justice minister of serbia she said that he was taken from the court house where we are right now we did indeed see a large police car. and the highway that leads to the airport was completely blocked off by police that convoy headed there we also know that the entire airport belgrade international airport was also along and sold out of luggage would be delivered to the plane on board the plane that is of course bound for the hague where he will face the i.c.c. why are the international criminal tribunals if more work crimes in former yugoslavia according to his lawyer and his family he won't actually live long enough to see the actual trial because of his deteriorating health condition we spoke to his son yesterday who said that his father is having very difficult very difficult time concentrating even on his favorite books most of which of course he remembers from his childhood and knows by heart so how he's supposed to concentrate

on thousands of pages worth of documents that he'll be presented with in the hague is completely on feasible and impossible to understand for his family or for his lawyer but despite their concerns the medical panel here in the courts a good judge of mr lott each bit should be extradited to the hague and of course he will be there until the hague tribunal puts their caseload together and actually begins the trial process because of many and so because you don't believe that he will get a good problem is that right. indeed many people here in serbia both those who believe in law which is a hero or even those who believe he was a criminal all those people still share a very firm belief that extradite him to the hague is a wrong thing to do he will not get a fair trial there because of course the people here say that out of what came out of the balkan wars of course in the one nine hundred ninety s.

is that the hague tribunal was the i.c.t. why was established but so far only serves have been tried and found guilty. many osmium costs of ours all of those either as we get justice completely or being acquitted by that same tribunals so they do feel that the international crimes tribunal for former yugoslavia is biased against them but of course there's also another aspect to this story they feel many people here feel that their president or the president but he's probably actually sold out a member of their own country for a chance akki you membership which is ironic because of course previously you members say that capturing article modish was a key condition for serbia's accession potential accession into the european union but already the french foreign affairs ministry has named yet another serbian no wartime general that needs to be captured before serbia can finally be granted

access to the un as a result of billions of dollars worth of grant money so this may well continue ask for a lot if you will of course remain in the hague we don't know how long he will stay there because of course he's got his deteriorating health condition but he will be there for as long as he can or as long as the trial goes on ok country news of reporting from belgrade smuggling can bring you so you know there will so more of this i'm afraid the road with stephen could go a bit she's from the store joining us along from belgrade as well very good of you thanks for being on the program with the same question jew that i did. not address on his way to what does awaits him there as you see. the students are going to be. just checking to see if you can hear me where the waits is another one series of protests.

this is going to marry on the law and growth it was a delay on the line so let you carry on and just really want to ask you again what you think i wait so now when he gets to the. would awaits him is another one in the series of travesties that have marked the work of the hague tribunal only this time he will be in the center of the play another death and subunits are in one hundred ninety five other main charges brought against not it was that a gov of evidence to try him on that. not in my opinion a police style have not seen the forensic evidence certainly does not support

struggle trotters or for the thousand victims and much of the evidence of political combat that's because kurds during that period is studiously ignored by the hague tribunal and by the press because i have to do it if the bolster of the number of casualties to come somewhat closer to the target figure of eight thousand or i'd say even i'm afraid we've got a problem on the line there's a monumental delay in the sand so we can't continue this interview but thank you for your great theories on the program we'll try and get some more common for you later in the program team who again average there for the trouble it's a historical project. the man believed to have fired the shots that killed russian journalist anna politkovskaya has been arrested in chechnya suspect arrested not would of has been on the run for four years now of course as a correspondent in

a question of us got the story. the main suspect in the killing off on the political scam was detained along tuesday early morning at his praise house in of the chechen republic so far we have very little information 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 just like it was the. most brutal the rest was carried out with the help of belgian police who he had been hiding for several years we've been in constant contact with them and it was this cooperation that helped his capture the suspect belgian police triggered the man who was forced to leave the country investigators are currently questioning him in connection with the murder of on a political time meanwhile his lawyer who also defended mahmoud of his brothers who were believed to be involved in the killing of the journalists asked that he hopes to prove his innocence of the crime meanwhile and the brothers of true starmer have

been charged with conspiring to kill the drawing a list in generally two thousand in the line of the main suspects were found not guilty the russians supreme court revoked the rulings on the police investigated human rights violations in chechnya 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 guys ever and her murder at that time sparked a very strong international reaction and after years of the investigation process it is still not yet known who exactly. meanwhile after the latest news brother sad that it is too early to celebrate a major breakthrough in the investigation he says he believes that through stumm doesn't really know who exactly or ordered the killing. there's been similar

murders like those of human rights activists on a sort of more detail of journalism is to see above board of oaths or successful prosecutions and journalist knew no organic believes the rest of arista more good over is another positive sign for places like this this is definitely a landmark victory in the fight against impunity in russian journalist murders not just journalists but also human rights defenders lawyers. and we see that as a very significant step forward having said. from my conversation with. and. the way that i call the cell phone that's the c.e.o. and. have been able to. do their own work there is evidence that. there may be other accomplices in this in this crime so we continue to hold

on in the investigative committee and other prosecutor north korea is in the process to to complete the investigation and to have all the perpetrators in the dock. it was journalist you know again over giving her take on the latest developments in the case about a part of. the ripping court of human rights has ruled has nothing to prove russia's prosecution of the war almost made mikhail khodorkovsky was politically motivated the judges in strasbourg video of his rights were violated during his arrest in two thousand and three the extent of your joy and you costs that once russia's richest man is currently in jail for embezzlement and money laundering that's recently brings us the latest in the case. in the decision of the european court of human rights a day in rejecting the appeal of course he and his lawyers claiming that the prosecution had politically motivated the court cited the lack of it in contestable group which means that the a lawyers have got of course he had failed to provide sufficient solid evidence to

back up these places so it has to be said though that in two thousand and three when he was arrested the kind of holes he had been financing opposition political parties now according to particles he and his supporters it was because of his political side that he was arrested in the first place and of course the a prosecution had denied these allegations from the very start now aside from having head of one of the biggest oil companies the acclaims of this political maneuvering has really made this story quite captivating but as of today being here the import of human rights had dismissed these claims and had to put the matter to rest on another issue kind of course he had also gone through the courts claiming his rights had been violated this is the regard to being detained without justification fire to investigation and trial as well as the conditions in which he was held claiming that they were crammed as well as unsanitary will on these towns the court had agreed with of course the and they had ordered the moscow court to pay a fine of a twenty four thousand euros it's acquittal to thirty five thousand dollars in

damages to hot or cold ski the moscow court had reacted to that and said that they would appeal this ruling should they find grounds to do so on monday had a cause he did a file for parole an appeal for parole and a court house today acknowledged that they had received it and that they will be reviewing it just to give the background when he was arrested in two thousand and three since then he has been convicted twice and of putting the a such as this is together he was scheduled he is scheduled to be released in twenty sixteen and according to his lawyers he has every right to appeal for parole to a request for this now the moscow court has said that they will try to come up with a decision as swiftly as possible and we are expecting that in about two weeks' time. artie's be getting reaction from the business community about the latest ruling on the court a costly case belarus's illiterate chief of business new europe magazine he told us today decision by the european court marks a pivotal turning point. in the sense i mean not completely but it was a definite line under a stage in the holocaust saga and that. the european court has not ruled that he's

a political prisoner then the situation becomes a bit clearer you have to consider there is only recently been convicted under a second churches and he's due to spend more time in prison so in that sense it's a bit of a strange time to get asking for parole. you know both sides are playing a bit of a show here that the second charge is that kept him in jail for longer by the same time he keeps his name in the news as does what he does in this case is asking for parole that will most certainly be refused and then there will be a story as well and consequently the saga will continue for the foreseeable future . russia's chief prosecutor has been ordered to pay closer attention to the investigation into the death of so again a lawyer for a u.k. based hedge fund who died in prison the order comes from president vetted but this kid died in november two thousand and nine in moscow while awaiting trial on charges of tax fraud his family and colleagues claim he was abused in prison and

deliberately denied medical help state prosecutors recently cleared a police officer of causing ministries death in custody they also found no proof that a prison doctor was to blame. well georgia stores course also online if want to catch up with them again and it's got more to exceed all kong you'll find everything there including these stories americans are together to merge and see alerts from blizzards to terror threats and straight to the mobile phones father why some say it's a case of big brother spreading panic among the public. and special foster villages for often children being created across russia to help bring happiness to those deprived of parental love can read more about that story if it touches france without a seat or can. not to hamper attempts to organize talks between the libyan government of the opposition russia is taking a mediating role in the conflict foreign minister sergei lavrov said no one especially those have overstepped the original un resolution should stand in the

way of any possible compromise now meanwhile nato is not holding back in its onslaught bunker buster bombs from the u.k. a variety of nataly an air place where pilots will fly missions over libyan targets british ministry of defense says it will also to deploy apache attack helicopters journalist patrick hayes from spike's online magazine told me that even with the alliance readying its own capacities 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 sweep in two months ago and basically gone the country into the into a 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 hold bombs into libya get rid of the old 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 there in libya and

i think also reka desperation maybe making a lot of noise and for a lot of very expensive bombs over the last couple of months but i see 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 who can't save their own matters into their own hands then really it was a very slippery slope from the offsets for 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. they've group have been greeted like true heroes with patriotic some photos cheers one shared hope of a new beginning before thousands of u.s. troops coming home from war from station to civilian lives of pain for one traumatic memories what is more of what one former soldier who shared his 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 weight. and the toll that it takes on us and seeing the effects of war. the literal effects on the dead bodies that were me i couldn't figure out why why are we already are we doing again why are we why are we doing this you know and it

was this person's life or things just cyclical 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 or an explosion there could be several body cases sometimes that would require us to help crawl under a truck or crawl in a truck 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 there. when we have got that particular body back so when we're done to you know as soon as you call back and laugh when you see those heads you really cannot 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 bag or something to the effect that 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 in there for the millions who do make it home alive many like to tell our term and to my memories post-traumatic stress disorder depression and substance abuse i couldn't leave my apartment you know i didn't have friends and talk to anybody. and a lot of it you can't deal with. you don't deal with the 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 to 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 there is but 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 from the get go. declaring war is the prerogative of politicians over the decades us words 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 in a fortnight or artsy new york. 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 take any concrete steps into a new agreement will see u.s. fighter jets deployed in poland as part of american's plan defense shield moscow though says that's alarmingly close to russia's borders and its repeatedly called for a joint system but washington wants to separate missile shields the head of the state dinners foreign affairs committee considering cause and chart explain what the two sides need to do to avoid a new arms race. number one is not to take any practical steps immediately in order to create a future global missile system number two is. to make a legally binding agreements on the purposes of the future system and to be

sure that the american or the nato system will not be a. russian and to create these legally binding document is not a difficult task in case we really do not intend to threaten each other in numbers three of who are used to start critical call duration exchange of information on launchers on other potential threats and to introduce certain elements joint command on the future integrated system nobody believes the we will ever have a joint bottom to be pushed similar ten years live by the to participate as a part to have certain elements how we could coordinate our actions in an emergency situation and this is what we can start practicing immediately from now. watching r.t. from moscow in just over fifteen minutes away from latest sports updates now with

you know he's got news of. seventeen years for sure then but next let's get across the day's latest business news from moscow this cheese nailing with the. thanks kevin hello and welcome to the program now it's described in the german press as the energy equivalent of the fall of the bird in war over the next decade germany plans to phase out all of its nuclear power over public concern about its safety to discuss what this will mean for german and european energy policy i'm joined by which is love from august media global energy pricing agency thank you very much mr for being with us today so what do you think this will mean basically overall for the energy industry in germany so the message to square controversial because when you. announced why it's controversial targets and goals actual in its energy policy first of all this announcement about shutting down just all nuclear or coal reactors by twenty twenty one the second thing is the joy when you start

getting down to reduce global emissions carbon emissions by twenty by the strategy european energy strategy going to twenty in twenty percent and secondly join when you would like the european union you know interests are policymaker to diversify as its energy supply and that means that they are thinking now diversifying their. suppliers actually which russia dominates now and was shutting down the reactors with announcing this. as a matter of fact so it means that german you find them itself in very very hard situation actually even in de paul actually because the. they will try to find the solution but i don't think all those goals i. and the only thing is to rely on the gas supply so that i understand you correctly that basically they will be replacing

nuclear energy with gas maybe you have that's a question with what they're going to replace then you. actually with which it is it fossil fools. or is are just are like alternative renewable resources so by the way this is the mission of experts community. shutting down the nuclear reactors means the general menu to achieve all those targets should increases the. the sheer renewable sources of energy by twenty twenty by forty percent from now so but it's very very costly and because renewable energy is very expensive even for european or european countries as much simpler to go ahead with just the world gas and coal the simplest way actually be economical canonically him. to stay with where the guests and the thermal generation is most canonical from

all others is that's where russia fits and this picture basically you can secure more deliveries to germany yeah that's new opportunity for russian especially for state run gazprom which delivers gas and sells gas to the european markets especially in germany because this is the largest gas comes natural gas consumer and national a largest energy partner of the us from and guess probably ready in place there so we so russia has about twenty seven percent of the market in terms of supply and i would building the new north rim and others so russia is already just expanding its business at least logistically it's very simple now to call there and to get to the market edition of will you yes do you think this could mean more risks for gastro yes and the main reason is the price imports and all the experts and especially we talked to travel to europe and emitting from time to time european energy companies

the main threat is. unflexible pricing policy of gas from i can say. it's just almost too much but simple because it's already dumped into deep adjusting to the situation of the european market which is heavily dependent on spot prices well guess what and it's false but still keep oil imports pricing which gives a very high frost price from purple to the europeans but. this is not michigan thank you so much love i'm afraid that's all the time we have right now and for this for this conversation this last mission from august media thank you so much for your time and for your answers. and i'm afraid that's all we have time for we will be back next hour in the round fifty minutes with an update stay with us and for the headlines.

would be so much brighter if you live by the sun from funds to the question.
