8:16 pm
likes you. and remain you who advocated for very obvious strategic reasons and didn't meet any particular conditions at all in so doing the real reason that serbia is outside the e.u. club as it were is that the serbian secession is problems of course or has not been resolved that's a situation that still needs to be resolved and the e.u. prefers serbia to negotiate regarding that situation whilst on its knees which is a position that is the public is very familiar with those original figures eight thousand claim of the kind of out from these are bigger which islam is side they were prepared in advance. thousands of people were hidden soldiers and redrafted backings of the. islamist forces without their families even being informed so there is certainly a great deal of exaggeration in the figure the tribunal is justifying his existence it was set up by madeleine albright's to point an accusing finger at the serbs and so hide the existence of a joint criminal conspiracy to destroy the state the serbs and form the state of

yugoslavia over half of the heart of the adult population of serbia died to form the male population so he died to former yugoslavia which was destroyed by the west of ours and the hague tribunal is there to create an entirely different picture it's the one son of most of europe where people are held for years without trial waiting for trial when they're when the overt is known in advance in fact is even worse than the guantanamo bay of europe because at least there in the guantanamo bay the judges know what the rules are at the hague tribunal this kind group called the rules are worked out as they go along and always at the expense of the serbs. and. deputy head of sales the online magazine spiked so it's going on in behaving now it's a show trial with the outcome already set and standing but i don't think there's anything. fair about this trial it's all about the whole process. or what's what's happening it is that the kind of the outcome is kind of been. set already it's
8:18 pm
a bit of a show trial i think. as a result i think it's very much about bolstering the west's position and making the west look like it's a free defender of justice and the largest has already been certified as the bad guy in this i'm not for a moment thinking that she's our wonderful human being but the crimes on all sides are not war and to pick out one side has been worse than the other is a bit peculiar of the situation was much murkier there were opportunists nationalists politicians on all sides and some fairly brutal people behind them as well. and you can always find more in all the stories we're covering on our website r.t. dot coms and let's take a look at the last line up for you that writes. the pledge for know the edges of russia is the import of fresh vegetables from all e.u. member states find out how to market tomatoes and cucumbers has made it on to the

a bad situation where we have to do is start borrowing all this money you mentioned earlier that one of the problems is that we have to raise the debt ceiling that's one of the only good things out there that debt ceiling is still there unfortunately they're going to raise it we're going to go deeper into debt which means bigger problems and this is not good the economists are describing this is the stock this is not it's quicksand and the economy is the soft palate these are the same people who wanted two thousand and seven so the u.s. economy had never been in better shape they didn't see this crisis coming right never understood the problem of the u.s. economy and they still don't understand and they think that government stimulus made the problems better it did it would allow the problems to get worse. so the number of americans finding new workers at its lowest level in eight months and our resident reporter in new york has hit the streets to find out why it's worth paying for education where there are no jobs a dead end of the line. with
