it's not it's an obscene nato says it says strikes could have killed seven civilians in a botched bombing in tripoli raising questions over the blogs plans to pound colonel gadhafi into submission. in top stories that made the headlines of the week for most greece's new ban on the money rolls up his sleeves to steer the debt stricken country's reforms after furious public rage against even deeper cuts in athens. america's accuse of twisting thailand's arms as unusual judge cast doubt on the legality of extraditing emerged russia nonsmoker victor boot to the states.

and the advent of mystery kids moving over whether the president will run for a second term as he runs off the international economic forum in some places but. welcome you watching r.t. from moscow and our roundup of the week's top stories with me kevin no it's no ten pm here in moscow first nato admits that it may be responsible for an airstrike that killed seven civilians including two babies in tripoli early on sunday morning the instant sparked widespread public outrage and is being seized on by gadhafi loyalists who have long painted nato as a ruthless force and sadly destroy libya even so the western alliance launched more strikes on the capital just hours later as the intervention enters its fourth month with little does show it said they had a lot of history of financial reports from a capital tripoli now you may find some of the images coming up in her report upset

. the residents of sydney's yuma district here in tripoli have been working not biased strike in the middle of the night and several mom's london hear this story as you can see behind me some room three story buildings quite a densely populated area where buildings stands in very close to each other time to many people found them very poor as we were told at least forty families have been living in the damaged houses which is from proud to fourteen people. under the rubble who were able to shine children into adults a man under one of will of about zero some of the people are still missing as you can see behind me the rescue operation is now undergoing the people here on the ground are saying the first little higher that someone could be alive the buildings

on the opposite side of this street have also been partially damaged but we were told that no one from there has been hurt the government's first person look at him a cyber him has come since shortly after this happened and he has this civilian area had been beat by may take pride they want to do that by look at some of the sky people were killed children with my own hands with my own eyes i still don't help pick out you can guarantee we killed and getting the boys the father of the mother the two whole families banished under this attack you cannot justify this attack with your name in. this incident consummates continuing intense bombardment all the way by nato bombs are turning trough day and night we are all the time hearing sounds of having explosions russia which has always been against mistry means to stifle the progressive movement conflict has recently signed peace we see a chance to leave it to try to displace the warring sides to start talking often.

the rebels in benghazi and through productive people the people who are making money out of it he believes there is for peaceful solution all these crises with both sides saying they are ready for negotiation we think these are now ready to provide an appropriate location for talks but people actually few extremely exhausted after the months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure. with an ocean or a correspondent there with a libyan was already causing divisions in washington with lawmakers demanding a more explain his charge into libya and account for the expense and lack of progress for political radio host common russel's the chance he told is he doesn't believe congress will readily pull the plug. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's our four into the former yugoslavia dennis

kucinich a group of other congressmen even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and it went to a district court for the district court said in the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is still a majority of congress are going to support the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to. come and say we shouldn't be doing this and try to define it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department defense discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be if it works you know to their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power. but more coming up for this program including the tragedy of teen suicides. russia struggles to rein in their for their make even though experts say there's an all too obvious remedy at hand. also russia and china

are agree on pumping gas though the price to be a problem but either leave the summit empty handed after securing billions of dollars in business. three days into his job or greece's new finance ministers admitted he faces a quote real war incurring a raft of painful reforms convinces e.u. counterparts to give greece new lows is much bigger task will be to get angry greeks on side. of the job so this is in play and the appointment was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seated fear of being shown on the streets of athens in the we got in syria first was in the capital with the latest protests broke out. but the clashes between. the. people have one thing that people stay out of the name of the police trying to find

the pilot breaking out my c.v. not i love the people on the street fifty nine people attack the guy with the calf muscle they really don't want to hold still that it seems that the people here have a high cheaper breaking that. people still beating back on the central state even though you can have a stick i think that's off by the plate they turned out to take time to get it propels asperity i said there i go about the economic situation has been happening and i could tell they wouldn't. have. got the committee thing that catches between the people cranking the crowd the police are they getting ready to retire early i still. see ten. look at the situation kerry say the toughest back in the police is.

the managing by the looks of things the case by the police actually of the century square itself there's a lot of the protesters to throwing things so i guess. he spoke to some of the nato guys from the t.v. and places today and they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june until any of these measures the past see the police killing of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to grieve them a face not too pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the finances really are saying we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks are provoking the police actually part of the main crisis as he said the people we take he said they want it to be peaceful and it has been up until now of ancillary it's day when the provocation happened when the police started to charge pitched in the surface. of the way for a great journalist only on a school system it is also being a general strike protest see blades international bankers. for luring greece into a debt from which it can't escape we cannot pay all the money they hear it's very

interesting all the money we take is in order to pay the high interest rates this is this is robbery this is theft this is swindle i can't describe it anymore and the problem for them now is that people know that they realize that they see their income go going down they see cox's taxes taxes and nothing else unemployment you think unemployment is this is what they clearly you know realign employment where it's twenty five percent and this is a chaotic situation and the only responsible for this situation is international monetary fund the minister of finance this government has failed. this is british banks are getting jittery over greece apparently pulling billions out of funding the euro zone's they don't get stuck any more from a belgian parliament deputy speaker told me just earlier on tonight the cash designed to cure europe's struggling economies is being pocketed by the wealthy instead crises. are considered big opportunities by big financial

institution which it mostly in the past and it is so much de where's the money gone well i think you don't have to look for the money has gone to financial institution to wealthy elites who are actually benefiting from this questions which kind of be a large true for what purpose and that is the question we had was look we give you all these taxpayer money without any conditions so you can keep on going doing what you did and that is not the kind of deal that i see what. but what we have said is no bit later this hour we've got an interview with german m.p. klaus peterbilt he shares his views about bailing out greece and why he thinks a u. country should look after themselves coming surely. now the czech republic this week announced is backing out of the u.s. missile defense program planned for europe because it was frustrated by the diminished role it was offered the original plan to place an advanced grade of the country's changed for it to. host a less important facility a missile shield supposed to counter potential threats from so-called rogue states

like iran and north korea but the plan's been facing massive opposition russia which is concerned that it's safe to compromise what's been protests in the czech republic itself one of the outspoken critics of the project is activist yan thomas she says only such a system would only fuel global tension. check people don't want such a being here in this country we are actually undermining the security of the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think it's completely contradictory. such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world superpowers where china. india or the following are super powers that will be the biggest world economy and soon in the in years is really going to make a lot of tensions there on the global scale and so it should be wise and just start thinking about building security mechanisms and structures that will include all

the big superpowers not just. the modernized economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president bill bennett was to do list in which he outlined russia's directions in pittsburgh this week the international economic forum staged to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights that is necessary sums up the showcase highlights. yron is a scent based on stifling corruption dees actualizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president majid of at this year's international economic forum here in st petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most active of commies was laid out. we shouldn't hesitate to say goodbye to many bad habits we should focus on the following improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions the creation of a modern police service and other security forces improving the effectiveness of the justice system and finally the modernization of government of course the main

bad habit as the president calls it is corruption which he says is choking russia's economy this was his message to the country's officials that don't do business according to the law. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened and the whole of russia or agrees with this without any exception if the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way and for that purpose we should in harm's way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's hampering russia's economic development is it not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that expression to the w.t. over russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances. we have long been ready to join the w t o more than many other countries small or large still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions this kind of approach is unacceptable russia

will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the one question on all of the minds of the business executives the top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was the official last question of the form and this is what medvedev had to say yes. when i consider it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it this forum is not the best place for that one thing you can be sure of is that i won't be able to avoid making a statement you will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue or the boys will be no interest in living. so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform it made of what is wrong and if it does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg anything now

a party. the far east also came to russia's north this week as china's leader joined the gathering in some petersburg calling for common efforts to get the global economy back on track describe the recovery is slow and fragile and said more form is needed it followed his trip to moscow talk failed to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly into china however the country's leaders did pledge to quadruple mutual trade with the live there k l a journalist julian lead told r.t. that a closer alliance between moscow and beijing will bring economic benefits for both . china also be hugely important trade partner for russia. in general trade these are two countries that for many decades shared a political ideology to some extent to share the longest land border in the world they ought to be much much greater partners than they are now if we look ahead russia is extremely keen to develop its oil and gas resources in the east of the

country exporting those anywhere other than asia just doesn't make logistical or economic sense so really this is about russia spreading its wings. everybody who can explore anything is looking at the asian market because that's where the growth. us judge says the case against an alleged russian gun runner is and convincing and he's called for the prosecutor's evidence to be thin lawyers claim the united states doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him and what the charges dismissed it is more important new york knicks played. he is the russian citizen america thought relentlessly to adopt it or boot was secretly and swiftly extradited to the us seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges if he is convicted

. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release in the federal system really the only way in the federal system to get a reduction in your symptoms. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the united states government some have argued. to be on captain america's team however captain america is being accused of playing dirty and illegally to remove the air cargo business man from thailand according to documents released by wiki leaks all levels of washington top to bottom now did political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine u.s. president barack obama was urged to call thailand's prime minister directly about boot the u.s. attorney general and state department were encouraged to call the thai ambassador highlighting the massive drug enforcement administration commitment to thailand and

the us ambassador in bangkok urged the thai government to issue a public statement of disappointment at the judge's ruling not to extradite boot the way things stand right now they're willing to flaunt every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of their to extradite him or kidnap him who was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight during a u.s. sting operation he was charged with conspiring to sell weapons to colombian fork rebels i'm talking that high court rejected america's extradition request when an entourage of armed u.s. agents removed him from thailand following a decision of the thai government his extradition was still not legally approved the covert operation was kept secret from russia but it's family and his attorney roy the case was not finalized and was moved to the u.s. and europe to use various means political another's outside the boundaries of jus legal process. that means that your boot is not getting

a fair deal to this day high officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind extradition. meantime means in the u.s. prison held in solitary confinement his wife doubts her husband will receive a fair trial from the country she says violated international and bilateral laws to get water and it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of launch to politics i think or rather i would love to think that the american court is unbiased and i'm strong doubts about it because i think such pressure could be put on anyone including the jury. the country accusing victor who are dealing now finds itself a political party first come october an american jury will decide the picture of the future want to be a political pressure at surfside by the u.s.

army evidently the marine a fortnight artsy new york. well for war a background analysis had to go there were outlining all the data in the time but in a victim case you could watch or the whole story unfolded on. iran has promised to be constructive and transparent through the u.n. nuclear watchdog the united nations considered new sanctions on iran's atomic plants demanding proof the program was peaceful we spoke to run several into the eye and said his country no longer had anything to prove. many allegations was raised by united states and i approved of their investigation taking samples and analytical process that all these allegations were basis in fact before coming to

vienna i was in charge of escorting all the spectre's and i was with them in this politicize it which would prove that this allegation had no basis is every unfortunately after eight years they are repeating these boring stories one thing is clear we do not have any program for nuclear weapons we are fully cooperating with the as they said country see the most robust inspection in the history of why for five thousand man these patients have found no evidence of diversion of nuclear material to prohibited purposes and the statement claimed by lady ashton with due respect i categorically reject. as one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia has now been jolted into action to try to reverse the worrying trend but experts say it's not that simple because there are several causes that can lead to tragedy if left i've noticed as i think there's unavoidable reports no compassion is a cure but sadly it's

a remedy that so too hard to come by. just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for the adult lives that lay ahead of them the teachers pointed to bullying or their brightest student who it seemed had her future figured out by stages i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would open doors to the world for me. but instead of a school living celebration pullin his classmates gathered for his funeral something she may not be the best she and really everything and hank herself. would have been getting ready for the example weeks and clean i was the one who worked the hardest of all she saw her load of math problems and she was very much as she wanted to graduate as an a grade student in many countries this trask's of exams in late december and early june sees peaks in the number of children taking their own lives but in russia it's a year round problem roughly one and

a half thousand children and teenagers kill themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. the problem is so out of hand that when i was informing the president about it i found it hard to believe the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives. and girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is two boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves. eagar is different he's trying to change his life three times the latest the time just six months ago. i just had enough i was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was that it was starting a constant seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted and i want peace what's driving the problem in russia is what x. critics call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped and

not easily available. there is the stigma. suicide to return to do a committed in a state of emotional distress which builds over time there are warning signs even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist added to that continuing social and economic shifts making it harder for parents to provide for their children leaving little time for talking and listening this morning mentors that we cater to children all and victim to adult. alcoholism drug abuse prosecution and i want to go with can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this overall the wicket takers sounds one that since policy prodding almost commonplace yet it represents what x.-press say is the main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of

kids suicide and that is indifference seeing no evil hearing cries. also making headlines tonight a suicide bomber struck a german convoy in northern afghanistan the vehicle was carrying german soldiers and was destroyed in the attack but nato says there are no true casualties however at least two civilians did the explosion the taliban says it carried out the bombing. argentinean coastguards of sees more than four hundred kilos of cocaine on board a luxury u.s. registered yacht two spaniards who fled the day before the police raid authorities say weapons were also found on board including machine for use vessel capable of transatlantic sailing is about to head to europe. the operator of japan's devastated fukushima nuclear plant will open the doors of one of its reactor buildings now to try to vent radioactive gases it's to prevent another explosion tepco also admits it they're estimating just how much radiation will be filtered

from the water the latest setback comes after the u.n. nuclear agency criticized tepco for its slow response and concealing the true magnitude of radioactive leaks james corbett is not online journalists and he told us the risk the people's health remains very real. any new leaks of any kind of are going to be an incredible burden on the efforts that are already underway to try to clean up the water decontaminated because they are now running out of space to actually store the contaminated water in the fukushima in the immediate vicinity of the plant and i believe within two weeks they're actually going to run out of space so they're trying to get a system on line for treating the water but apparently the test for that is going to be pushed back another few days it's already been pushed back from last friday so there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation exposure and that any level of radiation exposure increases the risk of cancer and however negligible that basically be with any

particular person and any particular date any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population like is living in the fukushima region unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. we turn from manmade disasters to natural ones in the next hour of the program looking ahead to explores the unpredictable risk of avalanches no drives adrenaline junkies into the light thank you. stream cascading from mountain slopes the view is midsomer much. of this beauty brings death and a speed of more than two hundred kilometers. to step to the dharma launch. from or up should be ok surely too should everything from tennis to taser tackling a footballer on the pitch artie's weekend sport on the air fifteen minutes from now

my name is kevin i would say thanks for choosing r t international from moscow about with the headlines favorite short of the sunday night. to a substantial degree and one farm or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of europe and the shadow is an approaching

the bridge. in the early twenty first century military bases the network of military bases all around the world forms believe and that the united states is trying to get its astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around us. we don't have power bases america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in bases of i don't noises long and often doesn't bother us at all because they're our bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for speed. since the end of world war two the space is so big.
