all. atrocity unpolished soldiers are killing of innocent civilians including children in afghanistan four years ago due to lack of evidence. the un accuses libyan the political forces on both sides of the facts of committing war crimes and it may turn a decision to prolong its military action for another three months. rising prices and an energy deficit cast a shadow over the european union as germany takes his first steps to get rid of nuclear power.

it's twelve noon here in the russian capital you're watching our table straight to our top story now seven polish soldiers have escaped punishment over an attack on an afghan village four years ago which killed a group of civilians including children caught in warsaw there was not enough proof to support the charges of war crimes nato soldiers blamed faulty arms critics say errors costing people's lives. civilians killed and nato soldiers go free the same old story in afghanistan that threatened 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 village of niagara 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 god. decides again was because of the. it was. something. and it was also a problem we both agree made malfunctioned and missed the taliban target by five hundred metres claims a shit scheme 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 the operator of the could not make such a serious error such a large distance the question is did they decide to open fire themselves or did they receive this command from a book but there is no doubt they were shooting at the village not the nearby hills

the defendant commanders ordered the attack and these should be the one standing trial. for me not those people should be. maybe maybe. but activists warm while the conflict continues civilian deaths from nato bombing or inevitable will only rise you know the longer the war goes on and their war situation is so the answer is i think quite simple to withdraw troops from afghanistan beginning of any process of studies ation of this country because their troops western troops doesn't bring stability to afghanistan just the opposite as the tall goes up on both sides support from nato its 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 cut

a hole the size of our boys coming back in coffins is even worse leaving the civilians on the weekends the case sustain afghanistan even the afghan president's turning against nato after the latest for. civilians were killed how many because a lawyer delivered his strongest words yet giving a foil warning and threatening war if you tappan zee again can you be sure. the u.n. panel has accused both the bin the gulf is regime and anti-government forces of war crimes and crimes against humanity because to gator's however noted violations by the opposition not as numerous counsels of verdict is based on meetings of detainees those displaced with thousands of supporting documentation that comes as nato extended its libyan mission which to watch for another three months in britain runs through the military units and says by intervening on the side of rebel forces

nato has made a negotiated settlement far more difficult to achieve. as long as nato is acting there nobody is acting on the other side and the hubble's of nato on their side they have no interest in trying to find a compromise that nascar is very new means alone latin america is on that line your forgiveness and india is on that line china is probably on that line even more friendly so i mean most of the world is for a negotiated settlement because they don't want libya to descend into chaos they just don't want that and they with this know he isn't to look forward to that. either the west or the nato is going to start the killing of the departure of the other three 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 what you are going to get is 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 of those other counties where they are did they did topple the regime. i mean while russia says it's not going to

mediate the terms of colonel gadhafi the exit regulators escalating pressure on the libyan leader the antiwar activist chris neither since the campaign which has become an obsessive quest to ask don't think it's imperative giving him a boost what they're saying. keep killing civilians. living in towns and cities until you go it's interesting because he from the start was saying that the popular movement at least in the country was was a movement that was sponsored by the works and he used that to bolster his position the war has been lying. and it's actually gadhafi is in a strong if not stronger position now than he was when the west first got involved . on the way later the program or next in line for a bailout deepening crisis relevance holds out the banking and asked the i.m.f. to help rescue its crippled economy eight billion dollars. the

shock waves from japan's fukushima. the plant disaster reverberated out in germany so much so that despite the fact that atomic energy provides nearly a quarter of the nation's electricity it stood ready to pull the plug tees or end it around there at what price both germany and other e.u. countries might have to pay for 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 electricity in 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. you know project

prices and of course always. industrial goods you know all will be paying more for the electricity will be the quantum will be the people there is no doubt about it around thirty percent of the e.u.'s 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 eighty you countries that have nuclear capacity and 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 are planning to hold europe strong of the nuclear free at the moment

thirteen of twenty seven nations and european union don't have any nuclear plants so that's a lot and we want to make them get up to the time maybe two or three thousand thirty of them everything's free but are they aiming at the wrong goal the e.u. wants to generate twenty percent of its electricity using wood new balls by twenty twenty and also to reduce carbon in. sions nuclear power was a good way of bringing emissions down but germany will need to go back to its coal fired power stations to make up the shortfall in terms of climate portions germany has. because it's trying to reduce you to levels if you switch of 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 we're to affect the gas price what if biofuels grow in popularity prompting poor communities to grow fuel crops rather than food these are although one expert said it could cost three trillion euros for the whole of europe to start using green technologies here in the heart of the e.u. there is consternation that such a big decision should be taken unilaterally by germany seemingly as a panicked reaction to this of course the images are 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 all european families not just germans lower at it or to brussels. but meanwhile the plans prime minister says he's prepared to step down

but only once the nuclear crisis in that country is contained despite having no confidence vote on it you can find more of that story in the website or. get into the station at the proper pictures from. that's on our website and yes we've got some oh you chief. today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada. giant corporations are. so honest farmers are threatening to sue a german regional authorities for damages after the plane spanish cucumbers for
