listening to the latest in science and technology live from the realms of rush limbaugh the future covered. this week's top stories on our sleeve forward on the journal drug called largish denies charges of genocide and mass murder in front of the hague tribunal while serbia ways to see and to get over it will do i think puts you monday show hosts. the ages of your mandela type helicopters in the lead here three month extension to the mission spots russian concerns that the military campaign could be moving in a step closer to the drug operation. also the program strays already troubled economy takes another blow after the state of the german accusations that spanish french tables pulls the deadly eighty eight call i'll break after the country's

exports into a nosedive. and believe none suspected of shooting a prominent russian journalist on a political stage of thousand and six has been charged with murder investigations claim to have enough evidence to prove the trip showed fugitive pulled the trigger . and welcome to the program this is all she's weekly review. thanks for joining us this week has made his first court appearance at the hague war crimes tribunal after sixteen years on the run but the former bosnian serb general refused to enter a plea to eleven accounts of genocide and mass murder during the bosnian war in the one nine hundred ninety s. it claimed a long list of genocide charges against him were monstrous and of noxious meanwhile

prosecutors in serbia want a commission from the tribunal to question lightish as a potential witness in their own investigation into crimes committed against the his extradition to the hague was key to belgrade's hopes for joining the union but as country now. data reports this tree doesn't appear any less. still waiting for the green light services arrest an extradition of former bosnian serb army chief luggage 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 a no step at all and they go citron this is a fairy tale and use 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 go there

so that is your goal but other steps remain to be taken your right to say you know the rest of the political chief of croatian serbs had d.h. still in hiding literally legislation with engagement in regional cooperation with neighbors for serbian president boris tadic there is no task too challenging to take on and the quest for new membership. rests mr hard. in the next few weeks. for us this is a crystal clear the service of fulfilling all the natural the geishas but while officials prepared to jump through yet another euro who most wonder if the list of conditions ever some officials are also talking about the fact that. serbia has to recognize the fact the recognize its own province of course will be forth and really get into the e.u. as long as the trees and power and his party the list of demands will be endless

still serbia hopes its corporation will be rewarded and continues to be the path to the door the officers of the e.u. delegation to serbia proudly display to flags. all of their member states and serbia really wants to join the group but the worst of conditions for possible accession seems to be neverending and for official belgrade membership this is always visible and always out of reach catherine as our r.t. belgrade serbia. and russia cannot judge says he needs more than the official thursdays to study the charges against him but his son says no matter how much time his get it is simply not able to take hostile trial. you can even read in our studio three thousands of pages to be able to testify cool to the families simply unable to do that he has difficulties with speech too how will you consult with his lawyers it's impossible. and you can watch the full interview with darko mother

which they found a former bosnian serb general ratko about it and i'll bet size zero zero zero. this week nato intensified its pulling companion libya and agreed to prolong the mission for another three months until september also on wednesday the un issued a report claiming the rebels as well as colonel gadhafi have been guilty of committing war crimes and while british and french attack helicopters have carried out their first strike so the leader giving a nato campaign moammar gadhafi the move has prompted concerns over an imminent land based offensive russia's foreign minister warns that pushing the boundaries of the year ninety eight and leave where they lead to future resolutions losing their credibility when we expressed our opinion over this escalation of the military operation we've seen what's happening uses shifts towards a ground operation this would be very regretful because the violations of the

security council resolution already taken place are more than enough to think you're bound to choose towards humans decisions. so later hope for a quick results and that never happens and antiwar journalists patrick hayes says that means plan b. is likely but i mean that regime submission the situation getting worse for the west in libya i think when they first thought they could kill a sweep in two months ago and basically bomb the country into the into the market they thought this was going to be quite a quick process where they could basically keep their you know keep a bit of a distance hold on into libya get rid of gadhafi and then everything will be all right no obviously that isn't the case and the introduction of these bunker busting forms in the apache helicopters are inevitably going to move this is jim worse they could bring about severe civilian casualties in libya and i think also reek of desperation but we're making a lot of noise and for

a lot of very expensive bonds over the last couple of months but those who have done very little well they've ripped the democratic initiative from the libyan people and taken it into the hands of a small elite of western leaders. and during nature's intervention. his loyalists have been using cluster bombs these are banned weapons that dispersed many mines over a wide area with civilian casualties almost inevitable and as artists our first report it come bursting from the trade because the money trail behind the weapons leads right back to spain. just one strike it cost a bomb can spread thousands of smaller explosives over wide areas by dint of populated areas as they were in misrata recently he always guarantees civilian deaths one of the many reasons more than one hundred countries bans their production the markings on the shells found in the libyan city belong to

a spanish company insta loves and there were arms that one twenty's that are prohibited that were purchased by the r.c. that were used against the residential area in these other and they were produced by the spanish company and financed by standish banks so just how did this get out the forces come to acquire spanish made armies in two thousand and seven and still loves and made the most of belittling of the arms sanctions against libya because the tripoli regime fell back into favor with the west spanish company what a contract to supply get out these forces with their custody. until two thousand and eight in spain signed up to the international convention banning the use. with libya now once again the enemy that is part of nato finds itself fighting a regime that it itself helped to arm and the trail goes back much further the spanish banks which provided the financial firepower to instill laws and to make

their deadly weapons if. you want to bring this thing forward uses as kind of a way to illustrate what there is between a bank. civilian. conflicts without legislation means a direct connection between civilian deaths the weapon cases and the banks that finance their food to the banks customers bernsen not really transparent about what they are using the savers money for so it's not that easy to find a recent report by spanish and ten we've built as many as fourteen banks since they folded funding weapons produces the v.a. is the spanish bank that's been 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 all right first policies to ensure

the banks are held accountable many of the banks named in the investigation and now coming forward say their policies on funding arms production are changed with or without legislation it's instill that happens in the murky world of alms production wall things of profitable business sarah r.t. if you're it. at least twenty people are reported dead and more than three hundred injured after israeli security forces opened fire on protesters on the syrian border thousands of demonstrators were in their age among the forty fourth anniversary of the arab israeli war is politically or has the details from. hundreds of palestinians have gathered on the syrian side of the israeli of syrian border and every long day today a group of about one hundred and fifty of them made their way to the border face we've been told that they were actually trying to cut that border frames when israeli soldiers fired warning shots in the air now those one shots seem only to

have inflamed the crowds because israeli soldiers very soon followed up with actually taking aim at some of the protesters certainly this is a day that there has been preparing for several days now the country is in the state of iowa and has been ever since the call went out for palestinians from lebanon syria the west bank and gaza to make their way to the borders of israel and for today to try and cross those borders today is the forty fourth anniversary of the one nine hundred sixty seven six day war now that was a war that israel won but it is a war that palestinians the third see as the arab downfall but of course human rights activists are criticizing israeli army we've been very quick to fire at demonstrators and peace activists and attorney a solo told r.t. that israel's actions risk provoking a new war. it sounded like there was no justification for using live ammunition there were just civilians on armed civilians who were just marching towards the

border i think that the major question is what would be israeli army do this coming september after the u.n. group recognize the palestinian state tens of thousands of palestinians will be marching towards the fences in the west bank and the big question is whether the israeli army would decide to shoot as it did today and then we'll see dozens of people been killed and that would be the start of another war another intifada. right and later we'll look at the lingering effect says serving at the frontline in a minute. he needs american veterans have returned from conflicts around the world to hear how they're handling the post-war style blighting their lives. also not any gains against a well sort of look at the challenges faced by the participants of the longest ever space flight simulation of the red planet. so greece may

receive the next installment of its one hundred and ten billion euro loan interline athens has promised to implement stricter was terracing measures to stabilize its economy and call it failed to reach so far public anger is mounting over the constanza thousands of greeks out protesting outside the parliament and professor of political science clark can learn things bailing out countries is a dead end europe and the i.m.f. want greece to tighten its belt more and more so there's no no way greece by itself can get out of the crisis is if you tighten your belt more and more you create a recession and if you create a recession this situation get worse and worse and it's harder and harder for you to be back your debts i don't see how this money can restart the economy if people spend less and less i think suggested now there's a real danger greece will have to back out of the euro in order to be able to do

that huge currency to have more tourists to sell more products and start originally when you the euro was created the left in europe was there much against it because you had a strong economy used a strong currency the dean mark germany forming a monetary union with weaker economies and that is a recipe for trouble. and spain may be a step closer to any e.u. bailout of a different kind to germany of gong li blamed q. converts from the country as the cause of the of europe's deadly e. coli outbreak there is asians have destroyed spain's fried and vegetable exports meanwhile the plane is now being pointed at german bean sprouts as a possible source of the contamination which has claimed twenty lives and eight chair next but all felt globalization and finance at this cat could spark another round of international air when something goes wrong and it is only human nature to try and put the blame on somebody else

a german very powerful you are accusing poor innocent spanish to congress of being the cause of the coli outbreak now nevertheless i think that there's probably more subtle agenda behind the all of this that is closely related to the fact that there are increasing centrifugal forces within the european union that already made a lot of people's talk about partial fractures partial break ups we just heard in the previous notice that if greece doesn't find its way around it's cool its financial crisis in might pull out of the european monetary mechanism the euro very often one can even imagine that german leaders are really germans and our we will endure we are probably wondering why the haven't got themselves into europe to begin with so i think it's not it's it's rugby league to just jump to the first obvious conclusion of a piece of news that we real peace we must try and find all the layers of truth and reason that might like it but media do respond to specific powers will be the

shareholders have their cases or the people who actually control the media there is a tendency to push specific story is only one month ago the entire planet was just watching a royal wedding then two days later the alleged killing of osama bin laden and now everybody seems to be going well hysterical all very concerned about the e. coli outbreak. give us your thoughts on the stories we're covering by heading to call the news and analysis updated every minute and here are some of these stories lined up for you there at the moment and devastating blow for several villages in the central russian republic is and i mean disaster like the night sky the details and video are right altie dot com. and see how hundreds exercised their first amendment rights at the jefferson memorial in washington by design saying it's not just five people were arrested last week for a similar flash mob including an r.c. america presenter with

a police action is described as aggressive and typical situational. this week sort of breakthrough in the investigation of anna politkovskaya assassination five years ago the main suspect a church and fugitive has been officially charged with the murder all the prominent russian journalist police say they have enough evidence to provide the thirty seven year old was the one who pulled the trigger and she's piece of all of the reports now on this latest development. this is the man investigators say fired the shots which killed an impala called skier. mood of had been the subject of a wide ranging manhunt after spending years on the run in belgium he was arrested by police in his home village in chechnya on tuesday and later charged with a murder. as a rest was carried out with the help of belgian police who had been hiding for several years we've been in constant contact with them and it was this cooperation that helped us capture the suspect belgian police triggered the manhunt of

a market of was forced to leave the country investigators are currently questioning him in connection with the murder of anna politkovskaya mahmud of two brothers along with a former police officer who were acquitted of the murder in two thousand and ninety eight a lack of evidence but the russian supreme court and no bad verdict and ordered the investigation reopened. son told me the family hopes this arrest will bring them closer to finding out who killed his mother of course it's a very important step but we have to wait and see if a kilt will be proved but even that is not enough we have no clue who the mastermind of the murder is nor the organizers it's a significant part of the journey but it's certainly not the end and internationally renowned journalist anna politkovskaya was shot dead in october two thousand and six as she returned home to spain a small investigative work particularly reports into human rights abuses former colleagues believe that due to the close family ties of those accused of the murder

there will always be some unknowns surrounding the crime as long as well as the point of it's hard to tell how many people are involved we have a three movement of brothers and their own he's a criminal and could easily be. could relatives especially chechens are unlikely to testify against one of. the pilot called sky a murder isn't the only high profile case to see a recent breakthrough journalists need or be on of the things that. this arrest along with the conviction of the killers of freelance journalist on a sea of the border and human rights lawyer stanislav michael surely these type of murders to get solved in today's russia this is definitely a landmark victory in the fight against impunity in russian journalist murders not just journalists but also a few rights defender lawyers. and we see that as a very significant step for those the mahmud of currently in moscow where his

lawyers are preparing his defense while for the family and friends of ana portico the long wait for justice continues this roller odyssey go. out and greeted like you're here is with punch erotic fun fat chance on the hope of a new beginning but for thousands of years troops coming home from war the transition to civilian life is painfully haunted by traumatic memories. a former soldier share a struggle. to take you to the very much into the infinite world of literature and here's this twenty eight year old ex marine an american who abandoned her weapon for written words to tell a story she says is kept censored from u.s. citizens he will people may know that it affects us i don't think that they understand the weight. of the call that it takes us and seeing the back up or. the literal paths of the dead bodies that were made. just

a goodly dels memoir shaded black details a traumatic and human account of war in two thousand and four could spend eight months in iraq collecting cataloging bagging and boxing the bodies of dead marines at the mortuary affairs unit and experience no u.s. president who's declared war has ever endured if it was a result of or an explosion there could be. several cases so sometimes that would require us to you know crawl under a truck or crawl into trucks or. just as you mentioned. you know you want to. watch this that you can get back to the family could pieced fallen soldiers back together after receiving body bags filled with limbs it's difficult to look at what you have to look about because you have to you know put them in their respective body bag or something to the effect that family nearly four thousand five hundred

u.s. soldiers have returned from iraq in caskets more than fifteen hundred flown in from america's other war in afghanistan that was a marine and i think that there for the millions who do make it home alive and many like adults are determined to try memories post traumatic stress disorder depression and substance abuse i couldn't leave my apartment you know i didn't have friends and talk to anybody and i suffer from flashbacks and nightmares and i i couldn't process that i had a really hard to kind of make sense of it more than six years later could tell says she's still searching for reasons to justify the damage and death caused by the u.s. war in iraq as a marine she did what she was told as a civilian she questions why u.s. leaders glorify soldiers as heroes but neglect to speak about the consequences of their service i don't know that the government respects the trends because if there

is like that i don't think that they would send us to these places. to carry out what they're asking of us so i don't think that their respect is there if they get. the clearing war is the prerogative of politicians over the decades us wars have resulted in a reported twenty three million american veterans and many left struggling to adjust to life following the battle a shift from fighting an innings to fighting demons arena for nine or r.t. new york. has paid its last respects to its late president sure died in moscow last weekend after a major surgery and a farewell ceremony in the capital so who was attended by thousands of mourners before he was laid to rest in his home village prime minister vladimir putin was among those paying tribute sixty two year old have led

a capsule with russian and european scientists studying the psychological effects of long term isolation career is now on the return leg after a successful simulated landing dr patrick fflick told us what challenges lie ahead . 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 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 would be like to reestablish human contact they've really had to imagine themselves into the situation they've really had to convince themselves that they're doing this for real but there's a huge amount that they're learning during this that of course the data that they collect will support scientific studies for many months at least if not years to

come obviously the primary aim is to understand the impact on future long term space travel but clearly there are other implications for people in long term isolation away from contact. and more space stories coming your way next hour as the next team prepares for blastoff to the international space station bring you the latest from the don't try out of the bike in a cosmo trial or find out how the crew members feel that for heading into beds. you're up to date now i'll be back in a few moments with a recap of our headlines stay where you are.
