the russian nationalist icon has been shot dead in moscow and investigators haven't ruled out it be it being an attempt to ignite after making tensions as a former army army colonel had served a prison sentence for kidnapping and killing a chechen girl. nato reportedly acknowledges targeting the libyan leader of all france and britain continue to push forward a resolution against the president of syria are two books of the fate of civilians on the ground called off in the west so-called democratic. and russia will resume imports of events through both as soon as safety guarantees are provided this is

one of the outcomes of high level talks for nato as missile defense plans on moscow's a possible w t o members were also discussed. but from our studios in central moscow you're watching are two with me and he said now wait it's four pm here in the russian capital our top story graced former russian military officer and nationalist movement icon has been shot dead here in moscow yuri begun of have spread eight years in prison for kidnapping and killing a chechen teenage girl officials on the scene of his murder however don't believe it was an act of revenge but an attempt to ignite ethnic tensions artie's peter although for joining us live now from the crime scene peter this happened just a short while ago take us through exactly what happened. well yuri put down of a hugely controversial figure here in russia being

a highly decorated military officer the commander of a time great german jew in the second chechen war he was stripped of all of those those owners following his two thousand and three conviction for the abduction and killing of an eighteen year old chechen woman he remained imprisoned in till late two thousand and nine when he was released on parole around twelve o'clock the day here in central moscow as busy busy streets in the center of the russian capital he was gunned down just behind me there through an archway there in the courtyard of a apartment block police are saying he could be shot he was shot four times in the head by those people who have killed him the investigation of course in its early stages but they've already said that they have found a car believed to have been used by the by the killers they've not called they found a a gun with a silencer fitted to a vehicle was partially burnt out now they are saying from the footage they have

from pictures they have that the driver of that car was of of slavic ethnicity and they will be giving us more information on that as soon as they get it no none of us know yet he said this is no way in his opinion this was a revenge killing for the for the crime he committed in chechnya he believes that this is as do investigators that this is a crime has been committed to incite hatred in the country. and taking into account don all this personality and his history the investigation is not ruling out that his murder may have been a provocation there is also no evidence that one or another ethnic group was behind the killing of britons so officials saying that they think this was an act like you said as well to ignite at tensions and that case what kind of repercussions are we expecting from this. well done of was viewed in some circles in russia in some

in some nationalist groups and call right groups as a hero an iconic figure for what he did during the chechen war no we have to wait and see if there will be any response from those organizations or to be any protests but yes it does appear that this has what we're hearing from investigators and from beatles lawyers that this had been done to provoke a reaction from those groups and to incite ethnic tensions in the country. clear all of our lives from the crime scene where yuri was shot dead just sort really here in moscow thanks for that update. i mean the barber terms of political analyst for the ria novosti news agency says despite the fact that you're a big fan of had strong support among ultra nationalists it's unlikely his murder will trigger a by that response. the story is very complicated first there was this story with the church and go presumably why would one of their lawyer who would defend the who

have recited the interests of the family or the girl was killed in mosque or very much in the way dunn was killed not so it would be. nice when mists it could be people from extremist anti-nationalist organizations with which but all with the mother too and the killer was least. there can be a lot of versions what i'm sure about is that there will be no nationalist backlash because there are very few people who identify with them but there was the trial and people who supported him i would see it in particular why it's humus a person it was rather a protest against syria which was a reigning in the liberal must media at the moment the broom us media blitz on of duty before the trial so there were some people who sympathized with him and i don't think we're going to see a huge very question all because he tried to not identify with

a bulldog. you're watching our t.v. live from moscow still to come on the program top level and secret some of the world's most influential figures sit together at a meeting of the secretive builder group giving people plenty of speculate on just what they're talking about. and a new voice on america's airwaves for its of russia radio wants his offices in new york and washington but the goal to present listeners with perspectives blocked out by mainstream media. now goes deliberately targeting the libyan leader colonel gadhafi that's according to media reports quoting the alliance a senior military official he says the u.n. resolution justifies the action because it's head of the military because after he is an essential part of the command structure this comes as fresh air strikes and plumes of smoke over the libyan leader's compound and nearby military barracks libyan rebels will get at least one billion dollars in assistance money promised by

donors including did you ask britain france as well as some arab states those are just rueful notional reports the only thing some libyans have received are injuries inflicted by native. son my husband who has breath or. the doctors have performed any a miracle and the young girl is back home with her family she took her mother's pills to kill herself. if someone wants to kill me and myself. but who wants to kill the teenager summer's major city tripoli has been under constant bombardment by nato forces for three months they have been fooling around the city with a population of around a million no one can ever say when or where the next one would land. this week in the most intensive era yet there have been sixteen nato airstrikes in just ten hours attacks against civilians must start daffy must go and the libyan

people deserve to determine their own future nato has frequently quain success and the military operation is supposed to protect civilians but the libyan government has repeatedly protested that innocent civilians have been among the dead the claims have not been independently very hard but one thing as clear since march nineteenth the life wouldn't really be ins has changed forever son was mother will never forget the day when her daughter prefer death to this new life my girl told me before that she saw death as a good thing when i entered her room that day she was lying on the floor there was smoke everywhere could hardly see what happened but i realized immediately risks something terrible this is not fair they told us they want a no fly zone he never said they were going to go almost he promised to protect us but instead they scare us talking about who they are have a block of saddam's father is more precise in the world no longer needs nato the

second world war ended long ago and we try to live our lives will need storage wars and always intervenes in other countries problems we're tired of war our patience is running out let us just live our life has just prolonged its operation and leave it till september people here face months more terror from the skies one of nature's supposed to target gadhafi his military arsenal actually landed here in this district it didn't destroy the colonel's compound but it's almost damaged the life of one family as you can see the building has quickly been repaired now the question is whether the people will ever recover. tripoli. more updates on the violence in the middle east on our web site is available r.t. dot com you can also watch our interview with nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen and have your say as we're asking how the deadlock in libya should be resolved so far the vast majority nearly two thirds think nato said it made its

failure and withdraw significantly last people fifteen percent say things continue the way they are until the conflict eventually and some others suggest the u.n. suits and peacekeepers and split maybe a two and a minority ten percent supports a ground troop operation. syria's military has reported launched an operation aimed at restoring security in the rebel northern border town of geezer. authorities say at least one hundred twenty officers and government troops were killed there by armed groups earlier in the week according to witnesses dozens of tanks have been to the area and are due to enter the town human rights groups say more than thirteen hundred people have been killed in the eleven week uprising the u.n. meanwhile was still considering a new resolution against syria something russia is strongly opposing later today are these debates cross-talk focuses on whether syria's neighbors in the region

will be happy to see democratic changes in the country. democracy would clearly be best for the region and for the syrian people first and foremost and then for israel but your thoughts of the budget is a reference to will it actually happen. really reminded me what i told my doctor and my wife that i was booked smoking going through the exercise for you don't you know. i think. it's true that what is the truth of what is means that this is the devil you know we will go too far over the voting has given us the ability to give because a few people who support their. there are two folds of play perfect for your. buck you know that's that i think is that is there is a queue of. russia's

ready to resume imports of european vegetables if they you guarantee supplies are not in fact to try the deadly e. coli virus the move of one of the outcomes of the today russia e.u. summit are just because i mean a great show of an outright lie from the city of new grads and company not it looks like the best symbols were literally on the table tell us more. but doubles were literally on the table at the press conference a european leaders some host russian president dmitry medvedev were asked whether they had vegetables for a launch the answer was yes they had e.s.p. enjoyed them and moreover a certain breakthrough was reached on the issue of a russian ban on fruits and vegetables imports from the european union recently russia imposed a full import ago in the wake of the deadly e. coli strain outbreak in order to prevent the infection from coming into the country

these measure of was halted disproportionately by european union officials and they said that it was going against the policies of the world trade organization in its turn criticized brussels for failing to provide sufficient information on the source and containment of the infections and today president made very big country could leave to leave the european union provides certain legal guarantees about the source of the infection and is more transparent on the. computer we are ready to live on european vegetables after we are provided with sufficient guarantees. in russian and the european health officials and finalize innocence if it proves the safety of the supply products this is a good result. but you considering that it wasn't all about the vegetables obviously was about what is the broader agenda have the two sides been able to see eye to eye on all the sticking issues. well the hottest year on the international

agenda where the two sides so i. russia strongly condemns nato military intervention in libya and again calls for a peaceful resolution of the conflict and the war which has already resulted in thousands of casualties as also seriously change challenge to the e.u.'s foreign policy is to talk more on those challenges today in an exclusive interview with our achievable joint quite high representative for foreign affairs and security policy in the european union catherine ashton and of course the first question was only. certain the discussions about the possibility. could go but it's a large if one of the big challenges and questions is how to make sure that for the people of libya the way in which it goes on the assuredness of that departure is a fundamental part of moving forward that's for them to decide in conjunction as i

serve with the role of the u.n. special envoy. in france there has been a lot of optimism surrounding these twenty seventh watch the e.u. summit and these all to music is built largely around president mubarak's quest for radical reforms in russia for modernization and it also resulted in breakthrough agreements between brussels and mosco over the past months like along the way to russia's accession into the world trade organization for seventeen years that is way longer than any other between country russia has been in membership talks with w t o and now finally we expect that by the end of the year russia will join the club today presently very is european colleagues to sort out all the poor maladies within the next month and to speed up the process of russia's joining the group. katherina grandchildren live from it thank you very much for that update. well stay

with us to see the latest in our close up series this time from a land where people man their broken dreams we take you to the north caucuses to see what the desire of peace and stability can do in ways of restoring normal life to a conflict torn apart. and invite only meeting of the world's political elite and financial magnets as the builder group is underway in switzerland the annual event has long been shrouded in secrecy something of their own rise to a strong protest movement. reports on just what might be the main agenda behind closed doors this point because i tell that you can see on the hill behind me is the hotel in summer it's in switzerland and it's there that for the next couple of days around about one hundred fifty of the world's most powerful people will be meeting behind closed doors to discuss whatever they like it's the builder group again of course it's the invitation only gathering of the world's most influential people attendees in the past to be included kings and presidents captains of

industry and heads of the world's most powerful corporations media coverage of the building told nothing not even a list of people who be in attendance there's no publicized agenda no press releases are released during the course of the event or at the end despite some fairly high level media moguls going to build every single year but they're all dedicated both about watches and one of them is a man called jim tucker he says that the arab spring will be a main topic of a discussion here he says that the builder because they're looking to create and engineer and masterminds of war in the middle east in order to protect the interests of israel they'll be looking to prolong that but they will be worried he says because there's increasing opposition to the war in libya in the u.s. congress so that will be worrying that another thing that they'll be talking about he says is dominic stuff hard according to jim tucker and many other build robots as it is to build a boat. who will decide who the future head of the i.m.f.

will be so we'll be looking in the coming weeks and months or any source of information about that in the news agenda. for more than eight decades it's brought the world's largest country to listeners around the globe but now the voice of russia has its sights set on new horizons for the first time the radio station has started broadcasting directly from washington d.c. and new york and is going to can tune in to find out what's. welcome to voice of russia in washington i'm just going jordan time now five o'clock in d.c. and one in moscow they launched with the motto there are more voices the better the voice of russia team in washington reports on international and u.s. news just like any other news radio station they say what makes them different is their efforts to bring up what's being left out by the us mainstream media when you consider american foreign policy has threats around the world i would say we are not hearing enough of from people around the world the need for more voices in the

media was up for discussion at this panel in washington titled gateway to understanding the great deal. going on in this country right now can we in are we open the voices from outside i think absolutely yes many analysts say there is stigma i guess the russian media something that voice of russia will have to fight through to become a credible source of information for the american audience and you have to work with perceptions which are still existing and i think more it is important that you raise your voice and try to get people to think differently about russia and so far i think this is extremely important to do it for years during the soviet union a voice of america funded by washington there'd been a source of alternative information for millions of russians now in modern russia it sees its mission as being little different to what it was during the cold war the lack of a truly alternative voice of the media has a serious consequences for the for didn't look at his asian of the russian society

in my opinion and it is here the voice of america concert to plea feeling an important vacuum voice of russia seems to be seeking to fill a similar information vacuum that many see in the u.s. media war with its truth or alliance it's our perspectives and i strongly believe that american audiences will only when from the array of perspectives the radio audience in america is growing. and with the demand for more voices and more perspectives and it seems a certainty that in the wake of the boys of russia other foreign stations will be larger than the ones who really benefit from the writing in the media are always the viewers and the listeners i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . it's twenty minutes past the hour let's take a look at some world news in brief in afghanistan for police officers were killed in a suicide bomb attack outside a mosque in the northern city of can do began with blew himself up at a remembrance ceremony in honor of a well known regional police commander it was killed in another suicide attack two

conflicts georgian by origin he was helping in certain people and ask who was killed by his own kind along with two small children she received a one off compensation payment from the government but no official recognition as a refugee and the benefits that would come with it. it is very difficult to get refugee status that would quote only three. and the only thing they know is to give us land so we could build roads and leave in normal conditions. just ten kilometers away lives a different outcome a group that's also experienced the reality is of life as refugees the ethnic conflict between english amazon and people that happen almost at the same time for over thirty two. sounds in english people to leave their lands and spread out in the region of the north caucasus with claims to special government programs the vast majority are back home four hundred anguish tremulous lived before the

conflict and almost half of them have now returned as the most family is among those who came back he says that despite the horrors that happened here it still feels it is his native land as a martyr lost two brothers and the fighting and his family was forced to move from place to place for several years but that's in the past and now it's all about looking into the future. this is my land i have so many plans in mind i really want to create as many conditions for the youth to work as possible and they will do something useful i will not have time to think of any stupid things and yes me and my family we are all happy that we came back here. people here see the same needs to happen for those that feel abandoned in their believes so the horrors of recent times are wiped from the things of the village even if they're still kept in their minds why isn't the question or russia calls up the republic of
