across the sea punished polar soldiers a clear head over the killing of innocent women and children enough to understand four years ago it's a lack of evidence. the un accuses libyan political forces on both sides of the fence of committing war crimes committed it's his decision to prolong its military action for another three months. rising prices and an energy deficit cost a shadow over the european union as germany takes its first steps to get rid of nuclear power.

play this is r.t. world news and much more twenty four hours a day. seven polish soldiers have escaped punishment over an attack on an afghan village four years ago that killed a group of civilians including women and children of course in also ruled there was not enough proof to support charges of war crimes while the nato soldiers blamed faulty arms critics say errors costing people's lives on forgivable. civilians killed and nato soldiers go free the same old story in afghanistan on the streets and for a moment to be different polish soldiers were put on trial for deaths including a pregnant woman and a child. on the sixteenth of august two thousand and seven mortar shells that were fired by polish troops in the afghan villages. as a result six people were killed and three were severely wounded but the soldiers

were cleared of all charges one of the accused told r.t. it's all been a big mistake we didn't see people. first also caution gun. shooting. to be some solution. but. when. we were accidents. it was. something that. was also a problem we. agreed on a malfunction and missed its taliban target by five hundred metres claims a shit ski but prosecutors alleged it was revenge for a roadside bomb which killed another polish soldier earlier in the day experts say

it's unlikely anything could go so catastrophic leigh wrong this is not logical. or could not make such a serious error with such a large distance the question is did they decide to open fire themselves or did they receive this command from above but there is no doubt they were shooting at the village not the nearby hills to defend the commanders who ordered the attack and they should be the one standing trial one tick is clear for me not those people should be accused maybe maybe. i don't know what activists warm water conflict continues civilian deaths from nato bombing or inevitable will only rise and the longer the war goes on the war situation is the answer is i think quite simple to withdraw troops from afghanistan a beginning of any process of the opposition of that country because the troops

western troops doesn't bring stability to afghanistan just the opposite as the death toll goes up on both sides support for nato mission plummets a majority in europe say opinion polls now think the conflicts going in the wrong direction. this was already unpopular in the e.u. there's the hundred billion euro of course while services are being called. the sides of our boys coming back in coffins is even worse leaving the death of civilians on punished the week of the case to stay in afghanistan even the afghan president's turning against nato after the latest fourteen civilians were killed how many because i delivered his strongest words yet giving a final warning and threatening war if it happens again then you push your party. the u.n. panel has accused both libyan leader moammar gadhafi regime and government forces of war crimes and crimes against humanity investigators however noted violations by

the opposition not as numerous councils then it is based on meetings with three hundred fifty people across the country. and displaced along with thousands of pieces of supporting documentation it comes as nato extended its libyan mission launched in march for another three months in britain aren't all throughout military units and says by intervening on the side of rebel forces nato has made a negotiated settlement one of the difficult to achieve in a country. as long as nato is acting and nobody is acting on the other side and the . there is a need on their side they have no interest in trying to find a compromise that must carry by is very new means a law in latin america is on the line to communities and that india is on that line china is probably on that line even more silently so i mean most of the world with this for a negotiated settlement because they don't want libya to this and to clear they just don't want that and they with this know he's on to look forward to that and there's no guarantee that the west or the nato is going to study those libya after

the killing of the departure of gaddafi i don't think i mean i don't think nato can be defeated to the point of having leaving him in power but you see with your argument against that i just don't understand why people are so confident that they're going to solve the problem of libya when they're filled with all those other countries where they have deep topple the regime. russia says it's not going to mediate that office exit i mean the natives escalating pressure on the libyan leader but more activists chris says the military campaign which has become an obsessive quest i don't think it's in fact giving him a boost. what they're. killing civilians. in towns and cities and you go it's interesting because you from the start with the popular movement in the east of the country was a was a movement that was sponsored by the west and he used that to bolster his position

the war has been lying. and it's. strong it's not a stronger position now than he was when. it was nato continues to tighten the screws on colonel gadhafi it turns out he's fighting back with illegal weapons sold by some members of the alliance several large spanish banks reportedly finance the manufacturers of constable's which was bending two thousand and eight actually government troops in the. surf earth as a story. just one strike it cost the bomb can spread thousands of smaller explosives it's a wide area is finding the populated areas if they were in misrata recently they always guarantee civilian deaths we're looking for many reasons more than one hundred countries and their production markings on the shells found in the libyan city belong to the spanish company instead. there were. twenty that are

prohibited that were purchased by gadhafi that were used against a residential area in misrata and they were produced by a spanish company and financed by spanish banks it is. the force is trying to acquire spanish made arms in two thousand and seven that made the most of the lifting of sanctions against libya as the tripoli machine broke back into favor with the west spanish company when a contract to supply get out these forces. until two thousand and eight when spain signed up to the. international convention banning the use. with libya now once again the enemy plane is part of nato and it's still fighting a regime that it itself helped to arm and the trail goes back much further to spanish banks which provided the financial firepower to instill laws and to make their deadly weapons of war we wanted to bring this thing forward use this as kind

of a way to illustrates what think there is between a bank and civilian deaths in conflicts because to me missions may now be banned in many countries the banks continue to invest in companies which make other controversial weapons without legislation there remains a direct connection between civilian deaths the weapon produces and the bands that finance then and therefore to the banks customers bernsen not really transparent about what they are using the saviors money for so it's not very easy to find the recent report by spanish and yes a ten revealed that as many as fourteen banks in spain own folded funding weapons produces the p.v.a. is the spanish bank this being most active in financing producers of controversial weapons and it's exactly this kind of large scale financing they complain is now trying to rein in pushing for the development of more rape us policy in chilled the

banks are held accountable many of the banks named in the investigation and now coming forward to say their policies on funding arms production are to change with or without sleep distillation that's until that happens in the murky world of arms production all means of profitable business sarah firth artsy literate. for the way they think the program and next in line for a bailout deepening crisis holds out taking bull last the left to help rescue its possible economy. billion dollar loan. the shock waves from japan's fukushima nuclear plant disaster rated loudly in germany so much so that the spotlight the fact that atomic energy provides nearly a quarter of the nation's stick and stood ready to pull the plug. were ever found out what price both germany and other countries marked up to play such

a bold move. germany raises a lone voice in the e.u. to usher in a new era of known nuclear power generation as chancellor angela merkel vows to close all its reactors by two thousand and twenty two but it's already created a shortfall in elektra city of germany which in turn is pushing up prices germany's now importing power from france and the czech republic and its crisis hit poorest who will pay higher electricity because. quite understand. project prices and of course always buy the industrial goods you know already paying more for it will be the. no doubt about it around thirty percent of the news electricity comes from nuclear generation so ironically the electricity germany ends up buying will be generated at nuclear power plants the majority of

european countries aren't giving up their nuclear programs switzerland is phasing it out but france which has a long and successful history of nuclear power generation sees it as a solution for the future britain sweden spain and belgium are just some of the over a you countries that have nuclear capacity and on planning to get rid of it so closing down its own reactors will stop germany's suffering from nuclear fallout in the event of an accident elsewhere in europe but the german green party is aiming high we're planning to hold europe's going to be nuclear free at the moment thirteen of twenty seven nations in the european union are going to have any nuclear plan so it's a lot and we want to make them get of the time maybe two or three thousand thirty of them everything's free but all of a a minute the room cold the e.u. wants to generate twenty percent of it electricity using when you buy twenty twenty

and also to reduce. carbon emissions nuclear power was a good way of bringing emissions down but germany will be to go back to its coal fired power stations to make up the shortfall in terms of climate change germany has. because it's trying to introduce you to levels and if you switch off nuclear energy as an option and you have to call. which is a lot more polluting and. in that respect experts say the biggest price to pay in switching off power is the uncertainty of what will replace it in the short and long terms how with effect the gas price what if biofuels grow in popularity prompting poor communities to grow fuel crops rather than food these are unknown although one expert said it could cost three trillion euros for the whole of europe to start using green technologies pair in the hearts of the e.u.

there's consternation that such a big decision should be taken unilaterally by germany seemingly as a panicked reaction to the fukushima disaster but the fact is europeans are all in this together if there is a nuclear accident for example in france germans won't be amusing just because they're not involved in nuclear power anymore and german shortfall in supply will mean higher electricity bills for all european families not just germans your evidence or to brussels. prime minister is now under increasing pressure to resign over his handling of the fukushima plant crisis you can find them all that story on the web site. for some of the get more details on the devastation. from the reactor and in depth analysis. for more videos from. you chief.

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of kandahar. operation. has been in shops and better roofs off the government's went with both the international monetary fund is hoping to raise up to eight billion dollars to boost its cripple the economy and revive people's faith in the government because some of these attacks the are shifting reports for having me as effect. despite some improvements in the economic situation in belarus that we've seen in the past seven days we can still feel here in minsk the country this post of a country is being gripped by the hard financial storm oil now there are still
