wealthy british style. sometimes let's go. to the. market long enough to. find out what's really happening to the global economy cars reports on. bosnian serb one time commander brought home a lot of begins his weight at the u.n. prison in the hague to be tried for genocide but the evidence is in question. the main suspect in the killing of russian journalist i'm not clear is being interrogated in moscow amid hopes he may said why and who masterminded the murder. and not enough new jobs for americans even though they'd work runs out in the u.s. with a communist warning a ticking time bomb of unemployment is threatening the nation. and is it the end of the economic world as we know it we talk to one of the leading lights of the

financial apocalypse here on business and around twenty minutes. it's five pm in moscow this is archie coming to you live with me and he said no way but first seven polish soldiers standing trial for the killing of afghan civilians in two thousand and seven have been acquitted the court was shot warsaw rather dismissed the war crimes charges for lack of evidence the soldiers were accused of opening mortar and gunfire on a village in afghanistan six people were killed and three others severely injured one of the victims was a pregnant woman but the troops claim their commander ordered the attack after being targeted by taliban militants prosecutors were demanding all the years in jail it's not yet clear whether there will be an appeal some sixteen hundred polish troops are currently deployed in afghanistan as part of

a nato mission in for reach him. in other news former bosnian serb army chief called a lot it's just sad for his first appearance before the hague war crimes tribunal on friday the sixty nine year old will be asked to enter a plea on charges of genocide he's accused of ordering the killing of some eight thousand muslim men and boys at srebrenica one thousand nine hundred ninety five to three knows are violence found out many are questioning the legitimacy of the evidence 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 that article in a matter of hours but the ice and why is not as ready to prosecute what it is accused of ordering the mass murder of muslim men and boys in the village of sort of a need say 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 charges over eight thousand victims and. much of the evidence of legitimate combat that's occurred during that period is studiously ignored by the hate crime you know and by the press because they have to do it if they have to bolster the number of. casualties to come somewhat closer to the pardon figure afraid and there are questions about the way the evidence has been interpreted for instance with the autopsy 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 other evidence it will still be many months before the trial can begin the hague always has. kind of done things as they call them i mean it's it's been an improvisation they've trades indictments on people they've written and some people who've actually been done already exported to the hague meaning first you get arrested and then you get an indictment against so best way the hague works so it won't be a surprise if they are just you don't really think that if you more times they did it with milosevic they did it with others they've done it. so it's just standard procedure for the hague 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 text files. and time is precisely what i can live each

doesn't have. or spend. you don't need to be an expert to understand or my father is in a very poor condition you can't even read he has to go through thousands of pages to be able to testify in court that he's simply unable to do that he has difficulties with speech to you know how will he consult with his lawyers it's impossible with barneys got problems with his memory that he may remember things that happened long ago same time he can remember what happened yesterday or the day before yesterday how can a person with these health problems appear in court with them about where you are so their 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 place and that is a worry for belgrade which wants to complete this particular episode to history official belgrade extradited out of the lodge in a matter of hours hoping to close this chapter of their history as quickly and painlessly as possible but then you're guaranteed that his trial in the hague will

take at least a few years means that for serbia this chapter will remain open for just as long. as our party in the serbian capital belgrade. and u.n. official who met as he arrived in the hague said he was extremely cooperative when taken into custody back into the story and you know for sure knowledge says the trial awaiting the former commander is just a means to justify nato's intervention into the former yugoslavia what it is in tears that was. policing me triggers the base if you like this one trying to demonstrate that everything that happened in war. was a grand conspiracy so you're not really putting want to change drug putting all sure and all sure you and the additional efforts to peace sure of years give us. and if you treat your friends you justify contravention of that. form you

can get it in one thousand and two when it's really guys who breakaway republics of fruition seniors and students the trouble is when we need to intervene in ninety five and in war against iraq importance if we were asking and we go to all the bullshit or all of these things as justification secu of what we do school and going to just because these are evil people with an overt peters and your people you have to put them on trial run a queue or cools and emotions and it's a very black and white it's not if you come back to white house black hats in the real restrooms you have to. go yourself that was balkans a story in your voice his thoughts on how the upcoming trial of iraq with a lot of or panned out but continue our coverage and analysis of that story throughout the week. now you know is extending its operation in libya by another three months the alliance chief says the decision is meant to signal to colonel

gadhafi a call this has determined to pull fill the u.n. mandate to protect libyans but independent journalist james corbett says nato is not telling the truth about the campaign. maybe surprising one on one end that gadhafi has held out this long especially given the extent of the onslaught against him and the attempts to assassinate him and the killing of his son and grandchildren and i think that was perhaps not foreseen in the original action that was that approved by nato the idea of protecting civilians by bombing civilian populations is on its face ridiculous and in itself exposes that this is not about humanitarian intervention and that light has been has been thoroughly 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 to get gadhafi out of there so i think it's just been a lie after lie and i think that pretty adequately exposes the fact that this is

not alternately about humanitarian intervention and cowardice will not stop until gadhafi has been. unseated from the inevitable end here is regime change and i don't think anything's going to stop until the. independent journalist james corbett there. well still ahead for you here in our british political marriage that's on the rocks to find out how deep the split in the u.k. is coalition is that how big the public discontent after the government's controversial decisions and painful reforms also. shaping the future of thousands of russian kids diagnosed with cancer are given new hope with a new state of the art hospital bill to help fight the disease. the man suspected of gunning down prominent russian journalist and luckily of course being interrogated in moscow. snapped up by security forces at his parents' house in

chechnya on tuesday after a four year manhunt the main question now is whether the arrest will set light on who ordered the murder peter all over reports. prosecutors are convents that they're close to solving the murder of anna politkovskaya one of the most high profile slayings in recent russian memory. model 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. of 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 investigators are currently questioning him in connection with the murder of anna politkovskaya mahmood of two brothers along with a former police officer who were acquitted of the murder in two thousand and nine due to lack of evidence but the russian supreme court and no doubt verdict and

ordered the investigation reopened scares 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 my 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 she was famous for her investigative work particularly reports into human rights abuses former colleagues believe the duty close family ties of those accused of a murder there will always be some unknown surrounding the crime. it's hard to tell how many people are involved we have three movement of brothers and their own call he's a criminal boss and could easily be the mastermind of the murder could relatives especially chechens are unlikely to testify against one of. the pilot called sky

a murder isn't the only high profile case to see recent breakthrough journalists need or beyond of the things that this arrest along. the conviction of the killers of freelance journalist i understand see a billboard of a and human rights lawyer stanislav mark a lot of shows these type of murders do get solved in today's russia this is definitely a landmark victory in the fight against impunity russian journalist murders not just journalists but also human rights defenders lawyers. and we see that as the barest significant step for those currently in moscow where his lawyers are preparing his defense while for the family and friends on a. long wait for justice continues his role of. fourteen million americans are unemployed and its number rising relentlessly it was

so many people on the breadline economists say forget the war on terror the lack of jobs is the biggest threat facing the world's wealthiest nation when a poor night has more here the golden arches that stretch across the globe from london to brussels to moscow and millions flock to mcdonald's in search of french fries in big macs but what about those in search of a career if i was in dire straits i might go to mcdonald's but the entire time i was there would be looking for something better not to offend the employee i would look for other things first that's for sure i don't know but it's yeah. that makes you think it's just the worst up at your would say about the job ever. meanwhile just across the atlantic the same a row mark you're going to go but a much greater sense of appreciation for this great work and you know i was able to go from a real person to restaurant manager. the benefits ongoing benefits

work that's a concern asteroid waiting to happen that's by far the biggest threat in the wake of osama bin laden's assassination u.s. leaders say terrorism continues to be the biggest threat against americans there is no doubt that al qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us against a country where some forty four million americans don't have health insurance a reported one in seven children are homeless america's double war bill tops one point two trillion and the richest four hundred americans hold more wealth than the bottom fifty percent combined to one hundred wars and tax cuts for the super rich. lost their focus they no longer have their eye on the prize which is you have to put the american people back to work back to work in what's been dubbed a make jobs u.s. recovery were a nationwide recruitment drive by a low wage employer still sends ninety four percent of applicants back to the

golden arches q. r t new york. now there's always more news and i catch videos for you at our guard can't just switch on your computer and here's what you'll find online right now u.s. congressman faces sweeping criticism after calling for every arab looking person to be served before boarding a flight he says political correctness is what lead so-called real terrorists go unchecked. and mass was waging a battle to save the city's good blocks with a ban on the huge billboards which cover many buildings around the metropolis for more on bigger salt on arabs go to r.t. dot com. the u.k. is not used to coalition governments but when the current one was formed all involved insisted it would be a match made in heaven but after a string of painful reforms fighting budget cuts and political snipping the cracks

are showing and many now doubt the government will last its full term as artie's war and it reports what difference what a difference a year makes back then it was spring smiles a no bruising 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 corridor 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 i could see it as a frontline nurse cameron still in linsley still. it's not a good thing that there is going to lead to people the n.h.s. becoming a market is it doesn't sync with good health care for the country ok it's a good read days in which you just don't exist at least speak to take the kids and

she think that there's a she's going to get you from this is. she's 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 tensions with her. plan because clegg feels he's come out strong this exposed by choice what sort of jury be aisy to do today all the lights were full arm so there is not actually used to be light so this is now quite the leading liberal democrats insist it's business as usual and although clear 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 appeared programme. on almost all of which there is no controversy clegg is understandably wary of british care passionately about their health service and politicians meddle

at their peril cash needs to be cars but clegg knows firsthand the feeling of the knowledge being out for you like when students marched on mass blaming him personally for increasing college fees when he promised not to the speed of slashing spending pitted the government it paints the people and when the new dems buckled into past the cuts it brought the coalition to breaking point i think that the politicians are the type who determine start be with the westminster leadership see the most of. the party will actually be much less than i think that will be for our precious. recent referendum and local elections of purple 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 at times governing it's difficult and keeping it

going for another four years looks even harder or emmett's ot london. hundreds of children suffering from rare forms of cancer and given new hope with the opening of a new hospital here in moscow the center of recently opened by prime minister woods in her routine is said to be the biggest and most well equipped of its kind in europe of on state of jew first was chosen because it was its recognized worldwide as international children's day parties are fun a boy girl looks at a little boy whose dreams of a hospital true but he never got to see her. it was supposed to be a happy ending six years ago the moraga child was successfully recovering from leukemia she 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 are managed to get specialized medical how do you know who was born in a small town of kaluga in central russia was sent to moscow for treatment and opportunity that cancer patients in russia don't often get. eleven hasn't locked this morning for six months for fear of contracting an infraction brittle girl show symptoms. kenya but so far it hasn't responded well to treatment order has already suffered a number of infections despite being those with antibiotics her primary diagnosis is still unclear who was recently dr suppost many theories of what's wrong with us but nobody can come up with a diagnosis my only hope is going to moscow they have but some of. their doctors

are more experienced what battles doctors here in ca luger may turn out to retain diagnoses from moscow doctors. this is where you learn i hopes her daughter will be sent to a top notch child cancer hospital that wants a full capacity will be able to accommodate five hundred children at a time the facility has its own airplane or vacation system it will maintain hygiene without committing parents to monson and hospital confinement and without subjecting children to loads of antiviral drugs it looks like something from the future but it's ready to accept patients right now. we will be able to cure everybody about thirty percent of children who are going to those with cancer can't be cured because we don't yet fully understand the cancer mechanisms or the drugs have not yet been invented yet will still be able to help thousands of children who until recently had only two options search for treatment abroad.

two years after asking the president for the new century died of a lung hemorrhage he didn't live to see the new hospital that now bears his name of brain something many kids for his diagnosis don't have hope that is now tangible as the only hospital of its kind of russia and possibly all of europe because every little thing here is designed with cancer in mind that has the best equipment and employs some of the bride as doctors. over its uniqueness was parents would do everything in their power for their kids to never go near this hospital but others would give up everything they have for their children to end up here. artsy moscow. that's always the news folks from our t.v. this hour in a few minutes because of a street on the southern edge of gaza where smuggling tunnels out of the besieged

region have taken root that's after a business update katrina. of . color welcome to the business program here on r.t. the united states risks a full day on its debt in ten weeks if it can't raise more money the country's already reached its debt limit of around fourteen trillion dollars and yet still needs to borrow more but the house of representatives resists representatives rather has voted down a bill to raise the debt ceiling to discuss what this means for the economic health of the world i'm joined by a young of the gathering storm a book about the prospect of a global financial meltdown thanks very much for joining us here on r.t. firstly do you think the u.s. is going to run out of money. well i mean we're in a very very dangerous game of chance on three i mean it's quite incredible of the americans are so oblivious to the real politic of their economic situation that they're even willing to breach their debt ceiling and go towards the fact that they

could run out of money pragmatically we really must talk but they don't do so but at the same time well i'm not very confident because quite honestly the democratic party don't seem to have the slightest understanding of the real world or indeed the real america that look as if this is why american politicians agreeing to a solid plan to cut spending and start repaying stret well you see the problem is that i think the american politicians are really managed to end up being quite well removed from the general real politic of the day to day business of americans i mean they're reading the new york times they're reading the liberal press and they really believe that huge and very very stodgy government entitle and slaughter of other spending can really go forward and at the same time the whole american debt at the moment is being underpinned by a multiplicity of wars that america is involved in and regardless of the rights or wrongs of those wars which i don't want to get into the simple fact is the fighting

people costs money and fighting people in a high tech way cost a lot of money and for some reason the. can still do not want at least the political classes to realistically look at just how much money they spend even though it's right there in front of their faces but look it's right there in front of their faces i mean in fact if we look at it they're going to reach one hundred percent of their g.d.p. in other words it would take all of the economic all of the united states of america the greatest strongest economy the world has ever seen we'd have to work for one year and pay nothing else just to try and paid on their debt but at that time to pessimists out there was the best place in the world to build or not to survive this flood well i mean i'm speaking to you today from poland i have a large number of operations in eastern europe and i really firmly believe that you must look east in order to avoid the crisis of the west and therefore to that degree i think there are great opportunities whether you're looking at russia whether you're looking at any of the other aspects of the new europe indeed you can

of course go further afield a little i'm a little bit worried that places like india and china may be in the room bubbles but i believe firmly for those who want to have a good time to european lifestyle there are incredible opportunities that take place between basically east of the older river of the border with germany and poland and all the way across russia there is great opportunity to invest in in all manners of property in real estate in stocks in bonds these are places where often you don't find remotely the same structural difficulties in the economy that you're getting in the united states of america or indeed many of the other western european countries we have seen here fredricka if the u.s. does go abroad what sort of world are we living in. well the good news is that at least for those of us who are some way away from america we won't have to head to the hills and manage to knit our own sweaters and trade means in order to eat or something but it's certainly going to be a very difficult situation i mean the odds are that america will come up with a a fudge at the eleventh far and it will go forward the problem is it won't be

a solution it will be a charge and that just means they're kicking the can down the road. if they go boston then there is obviously going to be a very very significant crisis on the bum point in time we really have an issue with the business of money itself people would be advised to hold assets rather than pure affiliate barcott fantastical thank you so much for your insight there that's patrick young editor of the gathering storm and that's only have time for here on the business i'll see you again in just under an hour's time.

you live not only next to the border of the gulf of egypt but also on the border of peace and war. they are responsible not only for themselves. but also for their loved ones. they are ready to take any risk. one or. the close up team has been to build a brand reach thank you all the turning point i'm bringing more to. this time party goes to the region where half.
