former bosnian serb general radko melodic she's in the hague to stand trial for war crimes but his defense questions the validity of the evidence other fish he won't live long enough to see the verdict. prime suspect in the case of murdered russian journalist anna politkovskaya was flown to moscow for questioning after being captured in chechnya. and hunger on the home front of millions of americans struggle to put food on the table three costly military campaigns overseas and something in this budget.

watching r.t. grow costing lives from the heart of the russian capital welcome to the program. that it nicknamed the butcher of bosnia has joined his former boss rather than corral in the hague the sixty nine year old army commander now waits prosecution for genocide but it's expected to be months before his trial begins and he that question and it's in a sea of the evidence the tribunals using to base its case up he's covering respects. sixteen years on the run six days in serbian court and the rest of his life in the hague official belgrade was more than ready to extradite former bosnian serb army chief. in a matter of hours but the i c t y is not as ready to prosecute.

what it is accused of ordering the mass murder of muslim men and boys in the village of seventy eight so in one thousand nine hundred five the hague tribunal does have a lot of evidence regarding the massacre but is all of it valid forensic evidence certainly those nor support their extravagant. over eight thousand victims and much of the evidence of legitimate combat that's occurred during that period is studiously ignored by the hague tribunal and by the press because i have to do it if they have the balls the number of. police to come somewhat closer to the target figure afraid and there are questions about the way the evidence has been interpreted for instance the art of sea reports the i.c.t. why presents three thousand five hundred sixty eight reports as corresponding to

three thousand five hundred sixty eight bodies but many researchers who went through the files say most of them are body parts which means a lot less people. but even if the hague tribunal moves forward without gathering for evidence it will still be many months before the trial can begin the hague always has. kind of done things as they call i mean it's it's been an improvisation they've changed indictments on people they've written indictments on people who've actually banned them already exported to the hague meaning first you get arrested and then you get an indictment against so that's the way the hague works so you won't be a surprise if they just you'd like to invite a few more times they did it with the law sure which they did it with others they've done it. so it's just standard procedure for a tribunal in the case of former president slobodan milosevic it took over

a year for proceedings to start because no loss of a child to familiarize himself with over a million of pages of case files and time is precisely what that can lead which doesn't have or. you don't need to be an expert to understand my father is in a very poor condition he can't even read he 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 the same time he can remember what happened yesterday or the day before yesterday how can a person with these health problems appear in court. so the i.c.t. wind may well find itself in a tight spot again more and more people are criticizing their lack of objectivity and they've yet to complete a high profile case and that is a worry for belgrade which wants to complete this particular episode to history

official belgrade extradited after logic and a matter of hours hoping to close this chapter of their history as quickly and painlessly as possible but the near guarantee that his. file in the hole will take at least a few years except for serbia this chapter will remain open for just as long. as our t.v. on the serbian capital belgrade. balkans historian a boy shallots told r.t. but another trial is not an effort to bring justice but to justify that his intervention in the post-war iraq ninety five we wanted just part of the entire set of political and police need to really get the case if you live is wrong trying to demonstrate that everything that happened in the balkans unity ninety's was a grand conspiracy to you know really police want to change crowd putting all serious and all should be untrue if you still call to peace or be is the aggressor

in any country or crimes you are justified neutral vention that newly formed e.u. community in one thousand and two when you great guys the breakaway republics of creation see news and concedes the problem is when the media intervened in ninety five and we're going to something for civil war boston and we don't want the bullshit or all of these things build up as justification sic you will you can use food and great can just because these are evil people and well we're going to paint them as evil people you have to put them on trial run. through the motions and it's a very black and white philosophy that actually want to have its black hats in new york western see you have to have a band you know even trying to get yourself to call consist or in a question of it's that sharing his thoughts and upcoming trial or rock of that which. well still to come this hour the british political marriage that's on the

rocks. there is a potential used to be like some train service now to talk. about how bad decisions are disgruntled public sending the u.k.'s coalition government into disarray. the man suspected of killing russian journalist anna politkovskaya has. been. detained in chechnya after almost five years all the while. other thing else it's still unclear whether the arrest will reveal the masterminds of. prosecutors or convinced that they're close to solving the murder of an employee called one of the most high profile slayings in recent russian memory bluestar mahmood of is accused of having fired the shots that killed her and after years on the run in belgium he was arrested in his home village in chechnya. the rest was carried out with the

help of belgian police where he 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 manhunt and mark would of was forced to leave the country the investigators are currently questioning him in connection with the murder of anna politkovskaya mahmood of the two brothers along with a former police officer who were acquitted of the murder in two thousand and nine q to lack of evidence but the russian supreme court and no verdict and ordered the investigation reopened what it called skier's son told me the family hopes this arrest will bring them closer to finding out who killed his mother of course it's a very important step but we have to wait and see if guilt will be proved but even that is not enough we have no clue who the mastermind of the murder is nor about the organizers it's a significant part of the journey but it's certainly not the end and internationally renowned journalist anna politkovskaya was shot dead in october two thousand and six when she returned home to spain as for investigative work

particularly reports indicate human rights abuses former colleagues believe the duty close family ties of those accused of the murder there will always be some unknowns surrounding the crime was done as well as the one of its. i want to tell how many people are involved we have the three brothers and their own call he's a criminal and could easily be the mastermind of the murder but relatives especially chechens are unlikely to testify against one of. the political sky and murder isn't the only high profile case to see recent breakthrough journalists need or gone of the things that this arrest along with the conviction of the killers of freelance journalist understand seeable border and human rights lawyer stanislav mark a lot of children these type of murders do get solved in today's russia this is definitely a landmark victory in the fives against impunity and journalist murders not destroyed but also human rights defenders lawyers. and it will

see that as a barrister ignitor can step forward. mood of currently in moscow where his lawyers are preparing as the birds while for the family and friends of. their long wait for justice continues his role of r.t. . that terrorists are using blackmail to recruit people and set them against the government that's what the head of russia's republic of english in the spec you told r.t. this interview is coming up around twenty minutes time but here's a quick preview. for young people in a certain field of atrocities attributed to the secret services but because this is how they are presented to the public and terrorism must remind people in a lot of the details it's like you know many get scared and think is the end of everything i think they will be tortured there neil stuart hands and legs twisted and broken they were disturbed by organizations and websites to promote their activities advanced meters and militant groups they look at these images and truly

believe that the government may be so atrocious and ruthless as to kill its own people and annihilate religion. when the coalition government was formed in the u.k. the public and the media were sweet taught him to thank you. was a match made in heaven after a string of painful reforms and biting budget cuts because mission seems to be splitting apart recent polls suggest more than half the population of disappointed in the government results in his reports for the british capital very few believe it will last its full term. what difference what a difference a year makes back then it was spring smiles and a bruise the reception as britain emerged from a power vacuum within a range political marriage but the honeymoon is over and parliamentary insiders reveal you can cut the atmosphere with a knife in the courage was a power last year the unhappy couple agreed on health reform three key principles

freedom fairness and responsibility but doctors and nurses find that it's too bitter pill to swallow consider as a frontline knows what cameron's doing loosely states and this is not a good thing to take it personally to privatize the n.h.s. becoming a market is it doesn't sync with good health care for the country it's a good read days in case which is just image of the evening at least something to think the kids and she was a she is going. to be fine this is the embattled leader of the junior coalition party nick clegg says he's prepared to overrule and undermine the bill well there's a lot of tension it's recovering our place because clegg feels he's the last straw was exposed our back to its heart so the jury the baby to dissipate all the lights were full and so there is little to actually use the lights and tweet says now it's

quite a leading liberal democrats insist it's business as usual and although clearly cracks are showing they're adamant they'll keep the coalition soldiering on for another four years oh i have no doubt it will survive for four years because we haven't updated programs. on almost all of which there is no controversial clegg is understandably wary of british care passionately about their health service and politicians meddle at their peril cash needs to be cut. clegg news first hand the feeling of the knowledge being out for you like when students marched on mass blaming him personally for increasing college when he promised not to the speed of slashing spending pitted the government against the people and when the lib dems buckled into past the cuts it brought the coalition to breaking point i think that the politicians will try to determine start to feel that the westminster leadership

speaker most of. the party will actually be highways then i think that will crush. the recent referendum and local elections have put the liberal democrats on the back foot their response to that has been to come out by saying the health service reforms are now undergoing what's being called a listening exercise and then they'll be put back in the ring but with cameron and clegg barely on speaking terms it times governing the it's difficult and keeping it going for another four years looks even harder. it ot long to. understate with the u.k. where russia is hosting a foreign investment for cashing in its links but. cross lifestyle business just for you a broker is there you know what exactly is this for about. a good morning carry this conference is a very good if you see for the top management leading russian companies to meet with investors and promote their businesses but the main industries of russian

economy represented at the forum such as oregon gas industrials metals and mining banking and many others while the firm is on its second day is into its second day experts agree that russian busted climate had general strengthened in recent years has been so but russia office many promising opportunities for the potential. crows and sales and profits however many issues worrying investors have also been touched upon investors' voiced concern about a string of recent stock markets listing const consolations and for example. you may remember the domodedovo airport trucked its planned i.p.o. in london on monday and telecommunications giant euro sat also put off its float well how does europe for russian state owned bank be to be. the i.p.o. withdrawals not unique to russia it happens everywhere around the world thought this is r t is live at the forum bringing you the latest developments so more on

child's dying wish to present to build a new hospital for kids to ease the pain youngsters are going to go through sadly a cancer sufferer there live to see his dream become a reality but with the walls of the center now officially open his memory will be privately living on these sort of water reports. he was supposed to be a happy ending six years ago the markets. successfully recovering from leukemia he was already strong enough to give them president vladimir putin a tour around these overcrowded cancer wards and insightful enough to ask when the country would build a new more spacious hospital how much would it be it's very expensive out of five thousand russian kids who are diagnosed with cancer every year less than half managed to get specialized medical how do you know who was born in a small town of kalugin in central russia was sent to moscow for treatment and opportunity there for cancer patients in russia don't often get. there

hasn't laughed this more to put six months for fear of contracting in infection pretty little girl shows symptoms of a rare form of leukemia but so far it hasn't responded well to treatment but it has already suffered a number of infections despite being bills to the antibiotics her primary diagnosis is still unclear. doctors have voiced many theories of what's wrong with us but nobody can come up with the day mrs my only hope is going to more school they have better a laboratory is there their doctors are more experienced what baffles doctors here and call over reach are not a routine diagnosis for moscow doctors. this is where you learn our hopes her daughter will be sent to a top notch child cancer hospital that wanted full capacity will be able to accommodate five hundred children at a time the facility has its own air purifier system that will maintain hygiene
