of course our court acquits seven polish soldiers of killing six out counts for billions including a pregnant woman and a child citing lack of evidence to support the war crimes charges. bosnian serb wartime commander rocco moderates begins his weight at the u.n. present in the hague to be tried for genocide but the evidence is in question. and not enough jobs for americans even low paid work runs out in the u.s.

with economists warning a ticking time bomb of unemployment threatening the nation. and it's hitting the markets as well the latest job figures across the atlantic dragged down wall street and pull moscow down in its wake we're about the day's trading on business and around twenty minutes time. it's seven pm in moscow how many so now way and you're watching our chain our top story seven polish soldiers standing trial for the killing of afghan civilians in two thousand and seven have been acquitted a court in warsaw just missed the war crimes charges over a lack of evidence the soldiers were accused of opening mortar and gunfire on an afghan village that killed six people are european correspondent daniel bush has the details. on sixteenth of august two thousand and seven pows troops for twenty

six more to show and machine gun fire all in afghan village killed reportedly ready for his wedding as well as the pregnant women and children other troops claimed they were all due to do so. and the firing on civilians was an accident now the judges ruled that there was not enough evidence for the false accuser and prosecutors want to twelve years. in jail for the suspects this is the first time that polish troops have been caused of war crimes in the afghanistan war and if in fact this is added to the calls for the nato troops to leave afghanistan of course the war here is extremely unpopular throughout the european union already we just saw president. hamid karzai of afghanistan saying that america was on its last chance the nato troops having killed another fourteen civilians recently

really gave. have cans no choice but to declare war on the nato troops if they continue to kill civilians to kill innocent afghans he said really there was no excuse for the amount of this nato have apologized but the civilian casualties are considering continue to mount they have been hundreds of civilian deaths from nato bombing and military experts here really see no sign of the toll fully. artie's daniel bushell reporting there. former guard new third army chief rocco melodic just set for his first appearance for the hague war crimes tribunal on friday and sixty nine year old will be asked to enter a plea on charges of genocide is accused of ordering the killing of some eight thousand muslim men and boys at several in one thousand nine hundred five but it's capturing those are one has 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. in a matter of hours but i see why it is not as ready to prosecute more bitches accused of ordering the mass murder of muslim men and boys in the village of three needs or in one thousand nine hundred five the hague tribunal does have a lot of evidence regarding the massacre but is all of it valid but if you look at the forensic evidence and. it should be looked at very carefully it was not supported by anything close to the conclusion that the crowds of people were summarily. assert the sort of pollution. from. any criminal case of this nature the first thing you look at is

the forensic evidence and the forensic evidence is the flimsiest part of the kane's 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 even but. 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 plan things as they call or 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 to get arrested and then you get an indictment against so that's the way the hague

works so it won't be a surprise if they adjusted like me and like a few more times they did it with the welsh rich they did it with others they've done it chesham 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 you know lawsuits have to familiarize himself with over a new unifications of case files and time is precisely what outcome luggage doesn't . have the ordinary. 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 courts will be released simply unable to do that he has difficulties with speech to his printed how will he consult with his lawyers it's impossible to tell problems with his memory he may remember things or how long ago the same time he can remember what happened yesterday or the day before yesterday

about going to person with these health problems appearing cools. so there i see g y 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 its case and that is a worry for belgrade which wants to complete this particular episode to history official belgrade extradited from logic in a matter of hours hoping to close this chapter of their history as quickly and painlessly as possible but in europe guarantee 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. catherine as our r.t. from the serbian capital belgrade. still ahead for you in this hour of the british political marriage that's on the rocks and find out how deep the split in the u.k. is coalition is and how big the public's discontent after the government's controversial decisions and painful reforms also. shaping their future

thousands of russian kids diagnosed with cancer are given new hope for the new state of your hospital bill to help fight it's the. first nato is extending its operation in libya by another three months the alliance chief says the decision is meant to signal to colonel gadhafi because the coalition is determined to fill the u.n. mandate to protect the libyans well let's get more on this development from political when you walk north you know joins us live via broadband thanks for being with us nato says gadhafi his days are numbered do you think the ninety extra days will be enough to get rid of him. i don't think there's any doubt that eventually he will ultimately have to leave the scene the question is how long it's going to take and i think with nato expanding their presence publically by ninety days there seems to be little doubt in my mind to be expect this thing to go on for many months to come perhaps ninety days is actually

a stopgap measure maybe it's going to go on for much longer i really don't think that gadhafi is going to simply walk away and it seems very clear that in the absence of having him agree in advance to consider stepping down that the opposition is unlikely to take any peace talks seriously that tripoli says over seven hundred people have been killed by nato airstrikes how thier are the alliance claims that it aims only to protect civilians in this operation i don't doubt at all that it is entirely sincere but i also think that there's no way for them to know accurately exactly how many people have been impacted by the airstrikes how many civilians. i think gadhafi is doing what some other leaders in history have done and that is take soft targets are targets that are sensitive and fill them with civilians so that if a nato air strike is intending to hit a military target there's and it's entirely possible that it will because of the.

but rest of the u.n. resolution was to impose a no fly zone doesn't it and not tripoli you know that's exactly right well the no fly zone proved to be pretty ineffective pretty quickly and it didn't take long for nato and the allies to realize that that simply isn't going to have the desired effect let's not forget that this whole episode started too late too little too late in my estimation on the part of nato if they really wanted to have an impact and have a better chance of having their own objectives met they really should have started within two weeks of there's a conflict starting that a horse takes much more time to when she would. an organization like nato and i didn't know they were the realisation that. short of ground troops were short of taking some more dramatic action the role. dramatically impact the outcome of this conflict it's unlikely to change anytime soon but that said do you think that

there's any way for nato to claim success without the actual removal of it dappy no i really don't think so i think everyone's objective on that side of the coin is to have it up and be moved. really ultimately the question becomes really how to not defections on his side to actually have one of his own people kill him i think short of there i would not be surprised if your committee leaves first because i don't think he is simply going to say i'm no longer interested in being in power and i'm going to get a sincere dialogue with the opposition that just doesn't seem to be likely in syria the country's been ripped apart by anti-government protests president assad declared a general amnesty for all members of opposition political movements do you think he is another desperate dictator. the i think you've got a really good dictators dilemma and the dilemma is how do i stay in power and how do i get them to believe that i don't want to stay in power and it seems to me that he realizes the end game is not in power but he doesn't want to say so and he

doesn't simply want to walk away and go same slow mo that there are other if yours in the arab world will ultimately have how do you stand up against a nearly unanimous opposition among your people in the case of syria there are so many. eruptions going on throughout the entire country there are so many people who are allowed to lie against him it just seems to be overwhelming odds and short of gassing his own people i really don't see how he can stay in power let me just tell you when i say short of gassing his own people syria has the largest collection of chemical weapons in the middle east service is reputed to have so the question is will he do what saddam hussein ultimately did and gassed his own people right political consultant daniel wagner thank you very much for your analysis. fourteen million americans are unemployed and it's

a number rising relentlessly and with 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 report has more here the golden arches that stretched across the globe from london to brussels to moscow 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 i'd be looking for something better not to offend but all its employees i would look for other things. that's for sure i don't know but it's yeah. that's like to think hey it's just the words that's you would say about the delta i have a. meanwhile just across the atlantic the same or roma you come into but a much greater sense of appreciation for this great work and here i was able to go

a good thread. which is just don't exist at least speak to think it's a joke and she is a she is going to keep me from this. the embattled leader of the junior coalition party nick clegg says he's prepared to overrule and undermine the bill while 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 the bail let's rule for arms to those of such a useful light so serious now it's quite hard 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 a preprogram. on almost all of which there is no controversy clegg is understandably wary the british care passionately about their health service and

politicians meddle at their peril cash needs to be cars but clegg knows first hand 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 against the people and when the new dems buckled into past the cuts it brought the coalition to breaking point i think that the politicians of the type who determine start be with the westminster leadership see the most fit for the party will actually be highlights that i think that will decide it's crushed. 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 at times governing it's difficult and keeping it going for another four years looks even harder nor am it out see london. a look now at some international news in brief for you this hour at least forty one people killed in overnight clashes in the yemeni capital violence started after a cease fire broke down between security forces and groups belonging to rival tribes militants have taken over several government buildings in sanaa including the headquarters of the ruling party at least three hundred twenty people have been killed since protests against president so they began three months ago. spanish farmers are demanding compensation after it was proved they were not responsible for producing cucumbers contaminated with a lethal strain of e. coli terminally worst hit is still trying to find the source of the outbreak which continues to infect people sixteen have already died and almost five hundred are
