so the. we've got to. the biggest issues get the human voice ceased to face with the news makers. former bosnian serb general grant commodities in the hague to stand trial for war crimes with the first hearing scheduled for friday but is the france crash shows the with is the of the evidence while there are fears he won't live long enough to see the birds and. the prime suspect in the case of murdered russian journalists on the the course of flown to moscow for questioning after being captured in chechnya. and driven round the back and millions of unemployed americans their fury out of system keeping them out of work but not keeping the country out of wars.

russia calling investment forum it is underway in london the gathering is a very good opportunity for top russian companies to make the support investors this is r.t. is bring you the highlights of our ten minutes time. it's three pm in moscow this is our g coming to you live on the news to now way our top story this hour rocket mullard its nickname the butcher of bosnia will face a plea hearing this friday the sixty nine year old army commander is awaiting prosecution in the hague for war crimes when you go question both legitimacy of the evidence the tribunals using to base its case on r. g.'s catherine as our explains. 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 more that is accused of ordering the mass murder of muslim men and boys in the village of three bringing in one thousand nine hundred five the hague tribunal does have a lot of evidence regarding the massacre but is all of it valid the forensic evidence certainly does not support the extra bag and charges 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 they have to deal with the fear bolster the number of. priests who come somewhat closer figure afraid. there are questions about the way the evidence has been interpreted

for instance with the autopsy reports the i.c.c. 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 other evidence it will still be many months before the trial can begin he always says kind of plan things as they mean it's it's been an improvisation they've changed indictments on people they've written indictments on people who've actually been already exported to the hague meaning first to get arrested and then you get an indictment. so best way to hate words so it won't be a surprise if they just did like invite a few more times they did it with the world sure rich they did it with others

they've done it sure sure so it's just standard procedure for a trip 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 face trials and time is precisely what outcome luggage doesn't have. for stand of. you don't need to be an expert to understand what my father is in a very poor condition he can't even read so he has to go through thousands of pages to be able to testify in court so but that he simply unable to do that he has difficulties with speech too how will he consult with his lawyers it's impossible with barneys no problems with his memory he may remember things that happened long ago for purposes 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 or progress or use 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 for math is a worry for belgrade which wants to complete this particular episode to history but there's a belgrade extradited that a lot 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 trial in the hague will take at least a few years means that for serbia this chapter or remain open for just as long catherine r t the serbian capital belgrade. well balkans the story and the boy's knowledge told r.t. that them a lot of trial was not an effort to bring justice but to justify nato intervention in the bosnian war in one thousand nine hundred five. the widest part of the character sets of political and police and military leaders that the city why this program trying to demonstrate that everything that happened in was in one thousand

nine hundred was a grand conspiracy you know really putting watching trouble putting all the fears and all should be untrue all efforts to paint serbia's the aggressor any perpetrator for crimes you want to justify intervention that. you can get in one thousand nine hundred two when you'd recognize the breakaway republics of parisian sunnis and states the problem is when you when nato intervened in ninety five and in but again it's often called civil war bosnia and when it counted all the kosovo all of those things build up as justification sikkim what we do is food and went in just because these are evil people in order to paint them as evil people you have to put them on trial run if you agree or. and it's a very black and white philosophy calling back to what has black hats in new york western see you have to have it there are going to be do can go yourself. buchan's and story and their voice some

a lot of sharing his thoughts on the upcoming trial roskam a lot it's we're continue to cover that story and bring you analyse their output week. the man suspected of killing a russian journalist and up and it cost them brandt to mask out for interrogation. was detained in chechnya on tuesday after almost five years on the run started peter oliver has been finding out is still unclear whether they are rats were real the masterminds of the murder. prosecutors or convience that they're close to solving the murder of anna politkovskaya one of the most high profile slayings in recent russian memory. 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. all. the rest was carried out with the help of belgian police or 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

of a market of was forced to leave the country investigators are currently questioning him in connection with the murder of anna politkovskaya mahmud of two brothers along with a former police officer who were acquitted of the murder in two thousand and nine cuti lack of evidence the russian supreme court and no verdict and ordered the investigation reopened but of course her 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. it 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 and she returned home choose famous for her investigative work particularly reports into human rights abuses former colleagues believe they did

due to the close family ties of those accused of the murder there will always be some unknowns surrounding the crime. it's hard to tell how many people are involved . we have three brothers and he's a criminal. easily. soups especially church and likely to testify against one of the. appellate court isn't the only high profile case to see a recent breakthrough journalists need or gone of the things that this arrest along with the conviction of the killers of freelance journalist and a star see above board of a and human rights lawyer stanislav michael children these type of murders do get solved in today's russia this is definitely a landmark victory in the fight against impunity and journalist murders not just roy but also a human rights defender lawyers. and we'll see that as a very significant step forward. mood of currently in moscow where his lawyers are

preparing his the phones while for the family and friends of. the long wait for justice continues this role of a r.t. moscow. nato has declared as exciting as operation in libya by another three months the alliance chief says this decision is meant to prove to moammar gadhafi that the alliance is determined to fill the u.n. mandate let's cross live now to james corbett the editor of an independent news website thanks for joining us this hour under a fog rouse and says that it's necessary to carry on the campaign to protect the people of libya but just today we heard accusations from tripoli that seven hundred have died in nato air strikes how sincere do you think the alliance is and its claims that they're just protecting civilians. well i think the idea of protecting civilians by bombing civilian populations is is on its face ridiculous and in itself exposes that this is not about humanitarian intervention and that lie has

been known it has been fairly exposed i think by the fact that the initial north fly zone turned pretty much overnight into a bombing. campaign which turned into a campaign which we were promised was not to overthrow the regime and get gadhafi out of there but then was revealed in a new york times op ed by obama and sarkozy and cameron that that was indeed the the exact aim of this and then there was the promise that there would be no ground troops involved and now the footage is just emerged in the last couple of days showing foreign presumably british special forces on the ground and rising the libyan so-called democratic rebels so so i think it's just a lie after lie and i think that pretty adequately exposes the fact that this is not ultimately about humanitarian intervention. what do you think has to happen in order for the alliance to consider its mission fulfilled in libya. i think that the . cowardice will not stop until gadhafi has been. unseated from from power

whether that spy force or whether he actually goes acquiesce in the end i'm not sure that that particularly matters i think it. and evitable end here is regime change and i don't think anything's going to stop until that happens do you think that's why the ninety extra days have been have been put out there i mean it has got why do they need a well i think that's clearly the intent of these extra days i think it's surprising on one end that gadhafi has held out this long especially given the the extent of the onslaught against him and the the attempts to assassinate him and he has been killing of his son and grandchildren and all sorts of things that have been tried against him it's rather surprising that he's managed to help this along and i think that was perhaps not foreseen in the original action that was. happening has said that he's ready for negotiations but the opposition along with nato has said that they don't see

a peace deal possible with him in power do you think there is no way for him to remain in libya i think that's that's the ultimate conclusion that we have to draw and it's one that's exactly parallel to the situation going on in syria right now where i think we've seen the absolute desperate and the. trying to grant amnesty to protesters that have been arrested there and even that is being rejected by the international coalition that once again traces back demonstrably to washington and we have the spokesman of the syrian democracy campaign. i need. in two thousand and six according to leaked the documents from the bush administration was the their point man in a scheme to destabilize the two thousand and seven syrian legislative elections by posing as election monitors but in fact finding and fomenting a so-called democratic uprising in that country which we see the fruition of. these days and now i'm more abdul hamid is the front man for the syrian opposition so we

see the exact same thing happening in country after country because i think it's quite obvious at this point that there is a sort of formula for regime change that has been found and if it must be remarkably effective given the state of the complete lack of antiwar opposition in the nato countries. now south african president zuma came out of a meeting with the reiterating that he would not step down at the same time the coalition is claiming they're gaining more support as they move towards the capital how much power do you think the libyan leader really has right now. one has to imagine that that he in the writing is on the wall if only because of this. recent extension points out that this campaign can be continued basically until he decides to step down so so i don't see the end to this until until that resolution is reached and really i don't know what the what recourse he ultimately has here all right james corbett editor of the news website the corbett report thank you very much for your i know thank you. now if you want to find out more on the stories

a small town of kalugin in central russia was sent to moscow for treatment and opportunity that cancer patients in russia don't often get. there now hasn't locked this more to put six months for fear of contracting in infection get a little girl show symptoms of a rare form or for a keen ear but so far it hasn't responded well to treatment or has already suffered a number of infections despite being those with antibiotics and her primary diagnosis is still unclear it was recently dr savoy so many theories of what's wrong with others but nobody can come up with a diagnosis my only hope is going to moscow they have better of oratory their doctors are more experienced what battles doctors here in college you go way to an hour to routine diagnoses from moscow doctors. this is where you learn our hopes her daughter will be sent to
