totty don't come. to the. phone or to see the savings surgery or sense rather cold blooded state of the international criminal tribunal to stand trial on charges of genocide during the bosnian war after the project is extradition of the. most serbs believe logic won't 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 being interrogated in moscow following his arrest in chechnya. the european court of human rights rejects accusations that russia's prosecution of jailed ex oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky was driven by politics.
1:01 pm
not business because of russia is likely to a long term gas deliveries to germany as the country turns away from nuclear energy more on that in twenty minutes time. relieving from moscow it's nine pm here now you're watching the artsy international news channel with me kevin owen and first former bosnian serb general run cold blooded she's on a plane heading for the hague where he'll face a war crimes tribunal for a serbian court rejected his appeal against extradition that it is charged with aldrin the massacre of muslims in one thousand nine hundred five artie's country is out of it is in belgrade for. the decision to extradite former bosnian serb general outcome what it was confirmed by the serbian justice minister. she said that
1:02 pm
american law that is already on the way to the hague and we saw a police convoy leaving the special courthouse where martin has been ever since his arrest last week we also know that the entire highway to the airport was blocked off so that he and the police convoy escorting him could get to the airport and a minimum amount of time he will face the i.c.c. wire the international criminal tribunal for war crimes and former yugoslavia according to his lawyer and his family will be live long enough to see the actual trial because of his deteriorating health condition but despite their concerns the medical panel here in the court did judge mr mudge fit to 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 most people in this country didn't want to seem legit extradited in belgrade we had a large rally on sunday some ten thousand people gathering in belgrade of course
1:03 pm
those protests turned violent briefly when you started throwing stones firecrackers and bottles at riot police riot police of course forced to use their but pawns and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds we also know about a rally outside serbia took place in the bosnian narrative indian city of money a loop thousands of people also gathered for a peaceful rally against the extradition over awful lot a lot although those rallies have led to nowhere and the outcome of that is now on his way to the hague but come on that will now have to wait for the crimes tribunal to put together all of their evidence before the trial can actually begin but even with that delay no one here in serbia believes that he will be able to get a fair trial because for them the hague war crimes tribunal is a political tool not a legal one bringing justice to thousands of victims that's one self-proclaimed success of the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia. and it's
1:04 pm
ready to deliver some more as serbia prepares to extradite former bosnian serb army chief but out on luggage. he's accused of crimes against humanity and order in the one nine hundred ninety five massacre in the village of city but he needs. despite living on a 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 certainly a lot of evidence to back up the serbs just rest 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 tribute on some of its record for instance because slobodan milosevic died in prison without the conviction then for us war criminals that are generally our knowledge as a war criminals here in serbia. the night from cos the wall like some muslim
1:05 pm
commanders have actually been acquitted after. birth or 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 question. 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 serb residents of the district slipping it's a vampire for allegedly cutting the throats of thousands of civilians he walked free cleared off charges and from a military leaders separate how you live each accused of mass murders during the balkan war of the one nine hundred ninety s. entered politics i think also of what a justice. this many suggest is a very clear indicator that the hague tribunal is being used as
1:06 pm
a political tool not a legal one protocol it was a throw off the corner and present time is it justice or something else events that happened in the balkans with the question of law. geopolitics or someone else's interests i believe that all the peoples of only you the slavia of victims probably because 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 the 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 tribunals is going to provide a cover for it 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 was up it's hard the western media including the british media was far from object to. well understand why the serbian
1:07 pm
people demonstrated against the rest of them allowed. because they live across them to the fact that the western media always gave a bad name during the conflict and the o.c. in for myself a war crime in bosnia at a place called was broad 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 shipping out of the markets after the trial will have to little to change what a lot of serbs believe that it stands firmly with. catherine as our r.t. belgrade serbia. or for what i always write code knowledge has talked in a voice well it shows the journalist the balkans the story thanks for being on our team tonight despite the efforts of his lawyer family then it seems that it is now
1:08 pm
on his way to the hague do you think he'll get a fair trial where no. country and of course she's not actually a charity or sit down if you want to. previously demanded that we had no idea what a new once we see intervening on the flight to a church eleven counts of war crimes but it principle method that they're using against him is a membership in this alleged to intrude on your christ to the will to cooperate or serbia and it is a modest part of the entire set of political and police and military leaders that the i.c.t. why his put on trial in order to demonstrate that everything that happened in one on c.n.n. tonight is. conspiracy and none of the other people who were indicted by the court from croatia from bosnia from kosovo they've all been charged with very specific things and individual crimes rear jesus's. immediate bit of command responsibility
1:09 pm
and then they will be acquitted. only the onus should be the political leadership and military leadership and police leadership would be in charge of membership in this camp experience and so you're not really putting watching trouble putting all and all syria on trial because we know the serbian government wants become part of the e.u. with a big backdrop a abut the use of. been accused of viewing belgrade as the sole aggressor in the war what does it appear that only so big. and well again all efforts to peace serbia's the rest or any perpetrator for crimes you know to justify the intervention that the newly formed e.u. committed in one thousand and two when it recognize the breakaway group of sufficiency news and states that germans are urging there was one of the first acts of the european union in four months or fixation
1:10 pm
a fact was. said to have been one of the conditions for germany to return maastricht. the problem is when we intervened in ninety five and will get a civil war in bosnia and when it counted all the kosovo. later four years later. it all of those things build up as justifications so today we're seeing part two and editorial saying you know what happened to my d.h. reminds us that we should be steadfast in intervention in libya concede darcy and it justifies you rocking it just as far as it can to stand and it should just be simply big circle justification insults just because you became what we do school and going to just because these are evil people the world over to paint them as evil people you have to put them on trial run. and it's a very black and white philosophy to win it back to what hats black hats in being the restrooms you have to be there anyway we're going to be the good guy yourself
1:11 pm
the most of the serbian president is saying his arrest is a positive thing he says of regular people the former yugoslavia closer to reconciliation as he put it but is gonna support though isn't a month somebody. i didn't see that it has much support in serbia is as much a static as you are or here a little would we've seen in the past few days it wasn't so much. people who cured by logic as such by marriage is a symbol of all of the war in syria resistance this is a man whose father was killed by crucial nazis used to shoot in world war two the who fought as you dislike the army officer and even the section criticsm execution grecian bosnia initially. this is this is amazing to see it is a very powerful symbol it's your resistance that defeat if it is yours to this creation by asking it the itself wouldn't do to you peter meanwhile to be true seen
1:12 pm
as it is a symbol of betrayal and. to brussels in washington and she's new to seen as a symbol which they are well worth following closely what's really happening in the hague over the coming days and weeks but the french being on the program and a voice from other journalists in the balkans a story thank you. the man believed to fire the shot that killed russian journalist anna politkovskaya has been arrested in chechnya suspect restruck with authors but on the run for four years as correspondent in a questionable as the details it was down much more the main suspect in the killing of an operative course was detained along to the early morning at his parents' house in of the tenth republic so far we have very little information but it is already now that he has arrived in moscow for further questioning. he was hiding n. belgium sense two thousand and eight and many have already lost hope of finding him
1:13 pm
just like it was thought was possible to stomach boodles arrest was carried out with the help of belgian police who had been hiding for several years we've been in constant contact with them and it was this cooperation that helped us 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 scholarship meanwhile his lawyer who also defines it's must one of his brothers who were believed to be involved in the killing all the journalist sounds that he hopes to prove innocence of the crime meanwhile the brothers of true star might have been charged with conspiring to kill of the dry analyst and generally two thousand in the line of the main suspects were found not guilty as a rush to supreme court revoke the rulings on the police investigated human rights violations in chechnya and she was killed the two of her apartment in downtown moscow on october the seventh two thousand and six she worked for
1:14 pm
a moscow nova guys yeah 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 ordered. meanwhile after the latest news politkovskaya as brothers but 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 ordered to the killing. of a symbol of his like those of human rights or to restore his love what kilo for the journalist it is to see a beautiful source successful prosecutions you know beyond over from the committee to protect journalists believes the arrest of arrest of mood over and of a positive sign for cases like this. this is definitely a landmark victory into fights against impunity in russian journalist murders not just journalists but also human rights defenders lawyers. and we
1:15 pm
see that as a very significant step forward having said that. from my conversation with. and. the way that the cole the excel from this to see i. have been able to. do their work there is evidence that. there may be other accomplices in this in this crime so we continue to hold on the investigative committee and other prosecutor north korea here in russia to to complete the investigation and to have all the perpetrators in the dark. journalists to you know again of giving us her take on the latest developments in the case and on a public course. the european court of human rights has ruled there's nothing to
1:16 pm
prove russia's prosecution of former all magnifico khodorkovsky was politically motivated the judges in strasbourg did have a find that his rights were violated during his arrest in two thousand and three the xo of all join you course and once russia's richest man is currently in jail for embezzlement and money laundering. brings us the latest in this long running case. in the decision of the european court of human rights they in rejecting the appeal of course he and his lawyers claiming that the prosecution had politically motivated the court cited the lack of incontestable proof which means that the old boy is a goner cause he had failed to provide sufficient solid evidence to back up these players who has to be said though that in two thousand and three when he was arrested the kind of calls 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
1:17 pm
having had one of the biggest oil companies the acclaims of this political maneuvering has really made this story quite captivating but as of today the here here in court of human rights had dismissed these claims and had to put the matter to rest now on another issue kind of course he had also gone to the courts claiming his rights had been violated this is with regard to being detained without a justification for there to investigation a 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 he and they had ordered the moscow court to pay a fine of twenty four thousand euros it's equal to thirty five thousand dollars in damages to had a cold state 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 gave did a file for a parole and appeal for parole and the court asked today acknowledged that they had received it and that they will be reviewing it but just to give a 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
1:18 pm
is scheduled to be released it was 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 to the asked possible and we are expecting that in about two weeks time. protests recently that a lot more about the court because the case on one of the. website r.t. dot com while you're there are plenty more stories as well we don't have time to show you here but this plan online like this one a message to americans getting emergency alert story broke yesterday from blizzards to terror threats straight to their phones find out why they are so they say it's a case of big brother spreading panic among the public. and one of the two about these special foster villages for often children being traded across russia bring but happiness to those deprived of parental mark. on. moscow's urging nato not to her attempts to organize links between the libyan
1:19 pm
government of the opposition russia is taking mediating role in the conflict foreign minister sergei lavrov said no one especially those who overstepped the original un resolution should stand in the way of any possible compromise nato is not holding back on its onslaught bunker buster bombs from the u.k. ever arrived at an italian air base now where pilots will fly missions over libyan targets british ministry the fed says it will also deploy apache attack helicopters journalists patrick hades spoke to me is from the spiked online magazine said that even with the alliance readying its bunker busters libya might still be a crack. the situation is getting worse for the west in libya i think when they first thought they could kill a sweepin two months ago and basically bomb the country into them into democracy but i 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 ogre gadhafi and then everything
1:20 pm
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 maybe making a lot of noise and for a lot of very expensive homes over the last couple of months without actually they've done very little else they've ripped a good 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 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 on the no fly zone to bombing to
1:21 pm
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 as 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 again speaking to me 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 in time a new agreement will see u.s. fighter jets deployed in poland as part of america's plan the french she'll says though that's alarmingly close to russia's borders and its repeatedly called for a joint system that washington wants to separate missile shield where the stadium is foreign affairs committee constantly cause a choice of explains 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 of global in the social system number two is to. make
1:22 pm
a legally binding agreements on the purposes of the future system and to be assured that the american or of the need to system will not be aimed at russia and good to create these legally binding document is not a difficult task in case we really do not intent to threaten each other and number three of course is to start practical cooperation on exchange of information on launchers on other potential threats and to introduce certain elements all for joint command on the future integrated into missile system nobody believes that we will ever have a joint bottom to be pushed similar pinner slid by the two rick is supposed to have certain elements we could coordinate our actions in an emergency situation and this
1:23 pm
is what we can start practicing immediately from now. elsewhere around the world tonight under pressure syrian president bashar al assad granted a general amnesty state television says it covers all members of opposition movements including the muslim brotherhood it's thought to include criminal activity alleged to have been committed before tuesday night the fall of months of protests and a vicious crackdown that i.q. says led to one thousand deaths. europe wide alert after sixteen people have died from eating kink of those containing e-coli one of them have been in germany the outbreak has been linked to organic spanish vegetables madrid says it's still unclear when and where the vegetables were contaminated the world health organization that wage rose describes the break is a very large and very severe one. if you haven't the u.n. human rights office says over fifty people have been killed in demonstrations in the city of ties since sunday reports say hundreds more but injured meanwhile

the next decade germany plans to phase out all of its nuclear power over public concern about its safety but as other things daniel bushell explains the move is as much symbolic as of his economic. even before the fukushima accident germans were among the most resistant to nuclear power in the european union resort people chaining themselves to railway tracks to stop nuclear fuel getting through in a country which means that only four of seventy nuclear facilities are actually working at the moment these remaining ones planned to be shut down in a decade one analyst told me they could actually shut down the theoretically nuclear facilities to morrow the trouble is there's nothing to replace it germany has one of the biggest renewable power facilities in the in the european union in fact in the world with the government offering financial incentives for people to go green but even green experts will admit that they don't have the capacity to fuel germany's needs which means that many people are saying really the only
1:26 pm
realistic alternative is to turn to russia and russian gas probably supplies a third of germany's needs ignored stream pipeline which is being built from last germany will increase those supplies it should also give a boost to russia's south stream project last week as the salty reported how the european union and its energy commission of course doubts on the south stream project the presentation by gas problems for me but with. roy's in from germany as a result of this announcement we do expect more possibilities for the sellstrom project in the coming years. so going to the markets now start with oil prices they're on the rise as europe is moving closer to a solution to its sovereign debt woes helped to prop up the euro against the dollar therefore we're seeing light sweet above one hundred two dollars per barrel brant
