light. anguish and it tears replaced shock in georgia families and bury the victims of a savage police crackdown that left hundreds of other protesters in hospital sparking outrage from human rights organizations demanding an investigation. with r.t. live from moscow on the research welcome to the program now go about it charles is gone before the hague tribunal for the first time and a claim that he's gravely ill the former of course an army general also stated that he won't enter a plea to what he called the of not just charges against him like that she said he needs more time to understand the charges that he's facing and you hearing has now been set for the fourth of july he's indicted on eleven cal. of war crimes

including the genocide of around eight thousand muslims it being on the run for sixteen years and his arrest and extradition was touted by the e.u. as a key objective for serbia to gain a membership to the exclusive club for sniping and show still waiting for the green light serbia's arrest an extradition of former bosnian serb army chief. was one of the key conditions for a chance to get one foot in the european union's door a potential membership could mean billions of dollars worth of grant aid and for struggling serbia it's a lifeline but what two official belgrade is a step closer to the e.u. is actually no step at all and go secure this should play this is very big news this is a very courageous decision by the serbian president this is one additional step for the integration of serbia into the european union one day is really i know there so

that is your big other steps remain to be taken your right to say that the rest of the political chief of croatian serbs gurn had search is still in hiding true legislation with all engagement in regional cooperation with neighbors believe elements will be taken into account when deciding to lose the discussion procedure with serbia because chris heben president boris tadic there is no task too challenging to take on in the quest for a new membership. and next few weeks. this is crystal clear the service before printing all the metro stations while officials prepare to jump through yet another euro who most wonder if the list of conditions ever so now we have gotten harder it was one of the serb leaders from the surprise and i am so warm for a show and then all of course some here. officials are also talking about the fact

that. serbia has to recognize the fact the recognize its own province of course will. as well before it can really get into the e.u. so you know on them or somebody else is talking about the fact that serbia is very corrupt and until it stops being so corrupt and so bad you can't get into the e.u. so really as long as the trees and power and his party the list of demands will be endless so is the union stoning and opening its doors to serbia or are its conditions simply a way of angling for more control in the region i think there are very few illusions people in serbia the thing that there will not be a great deal many important conditions and probably won't be as important as the establishment's of relations with the cost of a will of course it will lead to another another long story where whole

point about making new conditions probably won't stop recently still serbia hopes its corporation will be rewarded and continues to be a path to the e.u. during the offices of the e.u. delegation to serbia proudly display the flags of all of their member states and serbia really wants to join the group but the list of conditions for possible accession seems to be neverending and for official belgrade membership is always visible and always out of reach catarina our team belgrade serbia. meantime supporters and i have the serbian government for handing him over but foreign affairs author and expert sort of believes that the former army general may have gone voluntarily to the. the rumor has it in belgrade and they actually got it well look reliable source on the day of my big bank and belgrade a lot better today. because of more and it is very serious health problems

he had actually made a deal with the serbian a colleague who secured the financial circumstances will. pay an undisclosed sum of money to the family and could continue paying. retirement and in return he is readiness to be kept this is intact. but a possible explanation for the crack that he was captured in the film will close relatives with the same last name rubbish who presumably would have been under constant supervision in the period since we went underground to cause him to. you all with our party and more to come for you during this hard hour. and a rupture accuses the global commission on drug policy of promoting narcotics profit issues a report calling for the legalization of certain substances make sure you find out why. and after a year in

a simulated space it's the final home stretch for the men returning from iraq starting in spite of all of the spells out the details of the trip. a major fire has broken out and i mean a storage depot in a central russia triggering a massive explosions and injuring at least fifty five elderly people have died from heart attack said to have been brought on by the incident military personnel at the site and local residents have all been evacuated to safety that's around thirty thousand people evacuated parties alison but has more details on this. comics spread across the central russian republic all good mostly last night when a fire broke out at a moment's hillary depot right around eleven the fifty pm most a simon says they are not full of intricate a number of exclusions that could see which house is among itself the no rocket shells intended for russia's grad multiple rocket launching systems but emergency

services have been battling the blazes throughout the night which is expected to rage for at least another day such is the scale of thousands of people have already been evacuated from the nearby area on the number of injured tells i continue to rise at the pools all the fire is still not see yet known initial reports that yes that is the correct was to blame but now officials say that that could norse's been the sole trigger for a blaze healthy scale however they do say this human error is the most likely cause of the coolest a full investigation rubino with just once this place has been full sound control the longest week in the neighboring central republic five broke out of similar remissions. before seen nearby houses were destroyed you can see families and people had to be evacuated from the area and such as the explosion that high caliber rounds landed as far as we could know mrs away from the out chill sites all

of the fly before exploding a small huge of forest fire is runs up to twelve people were injured in that particular fire and then if we look back to see you years ago when the ember of two thousand and nine in the. central a city over the. another five broke out a mission. at least to a naval personnel were killed as a result of that explosion and eight servicemen so you know this explosion is not with us it's kind out of munitions depot in russia. he's honest. reporting right now russia's drug chief has slammed a report into narcotics by former world leaders and politicians as drugs propaganda victory even off the findings were designed to derail the global fight against drugs and are supported by cartels artes to sausalito has more on this. here in russia the issue on the war on drugs is a really

a big deal it has been at the forefront of domestic policy for some time now and about thirty thousand russians are documented to die each year here so it is a subject that is close to heart so this un backed report did not sit well with the russia's anti drug because even north and he see believe that this is just propaganda as he said he thinks it's a ploy to simply divert attention of the international community from what really has to be done. to be discussing the report of the so-called global commission we should realize that we're dealing with a global campaign on drugs promotion this campaign is directly or indirectly linked with the joint revenues amounting to about eight hundred billion dollars as far as russia's efforts are concerned even north himself had reiterated early this year that russia is committed to expanding the anti drug effort in afghanistan which is the source of ninety percent of drugs coming into russia now it just in two thousand and ten russia had spent seven million dollars alone so he says that this

fight will continue and here ideas are being thrown out such as perhaps a drug testing in school or replacing here with with methadone the alternative means of curbing this problem are also being seen now if we look at the actual report they're basically suggesting that we have they have to legalize drugs in order to undermine organized crime by basically making the drugs readily available so that the prices will go down and therefore heard the revenues of this drug cartels and another point is to keep the citizens healthy intact to protect the citizens now on these grounds their suggestion is to simply legalize drugs if we're not also did raise the fact that a part of the paddle panel of who came up with this report includes the former u.n. secretary general kofi annan as well as the former presidents of brazil mexico and colombia and he said that if we look at the drug policy during the. coffee announce a leadership of the un it has been a failure so he doesn't think that this report i'm should be taken seriously he

didn't dismiss it now with regard to the suggestion of the report to looking into alternatives sure russia is certainly doing that and has been doing that but it is unlikely that the country is going to go as far as legalizing the actual drugs. there's always more on our website that's our talk but here's what's one of you online right now. i have not seen while the have all the snarled crush has become the fifth in the world in terms of super rich families all of it gloomy poverty statistics. and the silence of the lambs or in this case dogs cats and any other pets ukrainian city has officially banned them from making noise might find out what the locals think of your thought piece of barking. it's an article.

he is coming to live from moscow spain may launch a legal action against germany which prematurely pointed to its cucumbers as the cause of the fatal. hysteria over spanish produce has crippled the country's farm exports costing millions of euros in just one week and the other source of the infection is still unknown critics believe the pharmaceutical industry may be the one to benefit from the vegetable public. some q. cumber scale that much is clear and it's also become apparent that although germany playing spain is the source of the it's not that's costing innocence punish fruit and vegetable export is around two hundred million euros a week and it will spinster but all those overstatements sure an absolute magnet for sponsibility what is happening today is a check made to the spanish vegetable and fruit industry. calling the european

health watchdog discredited russia says it had no choice but to ban all friesen vegetable imports from the entire european union a reaction in brussels called disproportionate russia says it was clear from the beginning the spanish were to blame here of. the accusations brought against the spanish cucumbers were unfounded this was always from the outset why because the screen was the source of the disease why is no one will there as it was of spin could have a disease this is a mild flu you keep secret german health officials still kind of see it will cause the. transfer factor of the disease and most importantly the situation is still more under control it's a very delicate time for the spanish economy which is teetering on the edge of needing an e.u. bailout this is decidedly not a good moment for one hundred fifty thousand tons of produce to go unsold.

simply because. you cannot all. cynics say all this is just the media whipping up its latest health hysteria in two thousand and five the united nations warned the world that bird flu could kill up to one hundred fifty million people in reality the seven years until the end of two thousand and ten saw three hundred three people die more recently swine flu was the. encouraged by pharmaceutical companies european countries spend billions of dollars on unnecessary vaccines probably will see very soon. from the orange pharmaceutical industry were created with the swine flu they have something to protect people against. across europe

all these health scares and adversely affected economies this looks no different and germany's baseless accusations may be what finally pushes spain into bailout territory spain will now seek reparations from the relevant authorities in europe after its prime minister criticised the european commission for not supporting that country enough particularly after the infection was proven not to have come from spanish cucumbers spain has a tightened task ahead of its repairing its reputation as a reliable exports or a free sam vegetables all over the you position essential to its economy. r.t. brussels. now today marks a year since six volunteers set off on a mission to mars are going to be tough. as more of the challenges they faced along the way. one year in to the mars five hundred project right now of a look at what daily life is like inside the module here in central moscow they

they are simulating the way they journey to to mars and a return journey though at the moment one year in they're currently simulating that journey back from the red planet back home to earth now mars five hundred certainly unique due to the the length of time spending in isolation but it's not the first time that these experiments have taken place as i found out. nine hundred sixty seven the space race is in full swing three men enter a secret simulation in moscow to determine the effects of long duration spaceflight on humans get a man might not serve was one of those who took part leaking under the jurisdiction of it the monotony it's hard i mean the regimen little things get to you in the beginning we had a steady temperature all the time later the temperature was fluctuating making you think credibly uncomfortable go to man and his two crew mates spent one year in

a metal box twelve meters square with no private space and miles five hundred module with its seventy two me to square living quarters as well as separate areas for conducting experiments looks like a five star hotel by comparison it's wrong to say that the current crew have an easy ride astronauts who have spent time in space the real full of admiration for the things they're making do with out my missions for a lot of this. and i had the opportunity from the space station and i see a call to the families through a. telephone system of a radio and pads must be the hardest to do that the end is in sight for the mars five hundred mission but what goes through your mind when you're on that final furlong of the version it's a very nervous period and it can easily burn you out during the last two weeks i

was looking at my watch every five minutes to figure how much time was left we all got rather tense for. one year into their voyage the mars five hundred team a currently simulating never ten journey to earth however it will be another five months before this door can be opened and they can step back into normality. well locked away from the outside world for one year already and must be very very stressful on those people who are inside to find out a little bit more about the mars five hundred project and so it is really a landmark day in their journey i'm now joined by dr patrick flick from the capital science connections innovation agency thank you very much for talking to us good morning from london thank you well i've spent a year in there already got five months left to go how intense was the psychological pressure beyond the well i think as we just heard in this

rundown from home the psychological pressure is really quite intense these guys have been locked away for for a year and they've still got five months to go and it's important to remember that they haven't actually had voice contact with the control center for eleven months now and they've still got another four months before they're back in voice contact with them so the only human real human contact they've had is with each other during the last year in the last year and that's really quite intense so it must be very very difficult indeed i think they really must be at this point counting down the days and wondering what it will be like to reestablish human contact again certainly going to be a bonding exercise at least but of course this is a simulation it's a very realistic simulation but how close is it to the actual mission that they could one day take part in a manned mission to mars. yeah well cause i think the crucial thing is that we've got gravity here on the surface of the earth so that's part of it but the

psychological aspects of it i think are. really hard to imagine themselves into the situation they've really had to convince themselves that they're doing this for real i've never done anything like this but i can't imagine that you could lock yourself away under these circumstances without in some way convincing yourself that it was real but dr for that i could talk to you forever about this very interesting thank you very much but i have to leave it there as dr patrick fuller from me could be found a big part of the capital side's connections innovation agency so one year in they still have five months left to go i'm not sure i could do that. they've been. a year in isolation travelling a million miles a day. the men from mars are heading to.

mars five hundred closer to the edge of possibility on our team. our twenty two minutes past the hour here in moscow you with r.t. and just a few moments you'll use here with the business news service in our shock has given way to sorrow in georgia as families spirit the victims of a brutal police crackdown on protesters that happened on the on the eve of the country's independence day the incident come to the world wide outcry with human rights organizations demanding a thorough investigation but as artie's sara furthur pours there's little hope those responsible will be held to account. last week he turned out to demonstrate this week his friends and family of burying him devastated and confused with no real idea what happened. the condemnation for these scenes came from around the world and there are now growing calls for an investigation into police actions investigation. sources. and i can say

this is kong. because we had a situation a very close to three thousand so been. excessive force was used against. the restitution was never started it was just. the years georgia has tried to move westwards promising reforms and signing treaties that despite being came to align itself with the west this time it seems sexualise government didn't feel that they had to play by the rules. for the. territory and. only after the polish start personal but had to witness the scenes we saw police surrounding the protesters all the exits and blocks they had nowhere to go spread and the rather bullet hits. this was during

playing granite staters not the main streets and we saw them chasing down some of the protesters had taken shelter here in the cinema building the time or the blast was smashed we saw many of the people that were being lead being kicked and hit with the police punch and as they exited the building they were led away and cursed and bleeding you can see many of the people are old and even more shockingly it would be a long time for many of the any kind of medical legal. one was running from one side to another all their eggs that were caused by i was standing along and the rubber boot my one o'clock until seven in the morning i was . before dark. on to the hospital. the opposition teams have come under criticism for their part to play in the imagining of the a thales negotiate despite being offered another venue heathfield that's just the cation guidance that it's

according to. the this is a crime this is the torture or mystery treatment crying and investigation should start but there is no follow up here it's the situation after the georgian president claims the greatest is didn't want freedom of speech but instead of victims that was certainly what they got there for the police the. target our time for the business with. the law and a very warm welcome to the business update the economy of better rules is in chaos the state has resorted to freezing food prices after a freefall of the national currency sparked panic buying but also needs an emergency bailout russia is ready to provide a three billion dollar loan but demand state assets and exchange now doris is

asking the international monetary fund for an eight billion dollar loan from one joined by alex i may see it from b. to b. capital so let's see how long do you can become three has got before economy completely implodes well true that burns so you're bigger than mine you're from the europe from the center of the union. and the food. we betray from us but if we were even able to do the girl you're going to extend the thing be existing student probably be a q three months isn't going to buy much time well like i said maybe couple of months really when you can order them or over ten billion dollars a year on the scheme of things changing fifty five getting worse a baby but going to stephanie needs to reform is centralized economy is that possible under the current government and do you think the location can government . will survive the crisis well the government has definitely been made was the poor the two or three steps backwards. because a lot of things like the boss who was killed this is not do you regularly do so

also for the club really from very little. ability to kind of pressure from the quantum because done with performance in the past once the issue of color but not here there and the pressure that he was losing your freedom the doing all things should be if you look because i haven't concerns there for the country possible financial meltdown could spread to its neighbors which countries are in danger and well really it's hard to imagine a country going to be different because we are all since real to us a list of financial markets only twenty five percent of the emerging market source for so really it's world trade relations. with russia and ukraine but haven't gotten the northbridge if you all think personally you know it's they would say from a capital thank you very much for your analysis. we still have time to have a quick look at the markets european stocks seem to be steady after a sharp sell off in the previous two sessions when mixed charring overnight to rule three thousand asia. and here in moscow they are two years in the white six are
