on art see nato strikes could have killed seven civilians in a botched call me in tripoli raising questions over the last plans to pound colonel gadhafi into submission. in the weeks other top stories greece's new man on the money rolls up his sleeves to steer the stricken country's reforms after a furious public rage against even deeper cuts in athens. america's accuse of twisting thailand's arm as a new york judge cast doubt on the galaxy of extraditing in the russian arms smuggler to boot to the states. and the medvedev mystery keeps moving or whether the president will run for a second term as he runs off the international economic forum and simply to.

welcome you watching r.t. from moscow and a round up of the week's top stories with me kevin enter night it's eleven pm here and first nato admits that it may be responsible for an airstrike that killed seven civilians including two babies in tripoli early on sunday morning. nato is looking into reports of civilian casualties following nato air strikes me early hours this morning well instance by widespread public outrage and is being seized on by gadhafi loyalists who've long painted nato was a ruthless force themselves destroyed libya even so the western military alliance launch will strike some a capitalist hours later as the intervention enters its fourth month with little to show except third log parties raif an ocean reports now from the capital tripoli

you may find some of the images coming up in a report upsetting. the residents of cigs hema districts here in tripoli have been woken up by a strike in the middle of the night and more for several more muslims here this story as you can see behind me some rural three story buildings quite a densely populated area with buildings standing very close to each other time to many people found them very poor as we were told at least four families have been living in the damaged houses which is from twelve to fourteen people. under the rubble who were able to show children and to adults and undermine the rule of law without knowing some of the people are still missing as you can see behind me the rescue operation is not undergoing but people here on the ground are saying that there is little hope 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 spends person up in the cyber him has come since shortly after this happened and he has this civilian area had been beat by may take trying you want to duck by rockets on the sky people were killed children with my own hands with my own eyes i still i mean help take out the girls who were killed and get the boys the father and the mother to her own families that is the time to start. you cannot justify does that ducking. this incident consummates continuing intense environment all believe it by nature morons are actually being trolled day and night me all the time here in the sounds of having explosions russia which has always been against mistry means to stifle the protests and live in conflict has recently found peace mediator to leave it

right despite the warring sides to start talking often seen the rebels in benghazi and through productive people being secretly making money out has found that he believes there is no peaceful solution of this crisis with both sides saying they are ready for negotiations with the knees are now ready to provide inappropriately cation for toast but people actually few extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure. one of the roof an ocean of air with libya was already causing divisions in washington with lawmakers demanding obama explain his charge into libya and account for the expense and lack of progress but political radio's common russell such as told us he doesn't believe congress will really pull the plug. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's or for into the former yugoslavia dennis kucinich

and the group of other congressman 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 end of the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing but the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are star going to support the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on hunger is not going to. come and say that we shouldn't be doing this and try to define it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be worth. 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. to come through this hour including the tragedy of teams suicides russia struggles to maintain an epidemic even though there's no obvious remedy and. coming up in a few minutes also russia and china agree on pumping gas though the price proves to

be a problem but neither leave the summit empty handed after securing billions of dollars in business again the latest story. three days into his job and greece's new finance ministers admitted he faces a real war in carrying out a raft of painful reforms to convince his or you kind of to give greece new loans is much bigger task will be to get angry greeks on side more cuts to job services and pay the point that was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the. being shown on the streets of athens sara firth was in the capital this week when the latest protests broke out. but they. still didn't get. this thing. done. people have one thing that he was going to go to the name of the place trying to prop up violence still breaking out

not to be not so i love the people of the c.b.c. nice people testify but the cast was told they really don't want to hold film that it's been said that the people who. actually provide. people still beating back on the central slavery can have a trick at the top by the place they turned out to protest to get a place to start their i guess about the economic situation that's been happening in that country and they were not going to be able to. take up the committee see the tensions between the people cranking. the police out there getting ready to retaliate stuff. that. was a situation that the terrorists say the toughest the fighting the police are trying . their managing by the looks of things that despite the police actually off the

centuries there itself is a lot of the protesters who are throwing things wearing gas masks in the states or some of the main organized unity unions to organize protests today and they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june and so any of these measures will cause see the police to letting up take a sense of the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe in the space not to pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really around saying we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that are provoking the police are actually part of the name process as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now up until it's day when that provocation happened when the play starts it's time to catch them but. pretty sure. the high officials greece and other struggling countries to stay in the euro zone prove that. project works. i have been trying with president with president

barroso with all the people that lead the what is plan b. isn't it. the greece portugal are not suited to the euro zone isn't it better that we that they come out they get their own currencies back they have a devaluation out there of course some of the banks have to take a hit but they won't hear of it here because as far as they're concerned in brussels the euro the economic and military is a political project they see it as a stepping stone to united states of europe i do not prepared to admit they got it horribly wrong and pull back frankly they couldn't care less if tens of millions of people across europe lose their jobs that doesn't matter to the european commission provided they can maintain the euro and keep propping up the banks the greeks may be angry at their government for the crisis their own but the germans are no less furious about them to pay for it all next hour r.t. speaks to german m.p.

plus peter velshi explains why he thinks a huge country should look after themselves. in the treaties. that was regulated that there must be a bailout because otherwise you will ruin the clear finances of those countries who are contributing to it as long as each country is responsible for its budget has to take full responsibility the only right answer to that is you'll be about. the czech republic this week announced it's backing out of the u.s. missile defense program planned for europe because it was frustrated by the diminished role it's been offered now the original plan to place an advanced radar in the country was changed for it to host a less important facility the missile shield supposed to counter the. central threat and so rogue states like iran and north korea the plans are facing massive

opposition from russia which is concerned that its safety might be compromised have also been protests in the czech republic itself one of the i've spoken critics of the project is activist young talent she says such a system of them through global tension. check people don't want such a being here in this country we are actually undermine the security of the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to play such a social system here in europe this system without incorporating russia with talking to also other world superpowers way china. india or the following or the pirates that will be the biggest world economies in the in years is really going to make a lot of tensions on the global scale and so it should be wise and just start thinking about building a security mechanisms and structures it will include all the big super powers not just some. but modernized economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities

in president made that is to do list of which he outlined russia's direction in some petersburg this week the international economic forum a stage to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and indeed attracted some of the world's biggest business and political heavyweights but isn't this now a sums up the showcase highlights for us. modernisation based on stifling corruption de centralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president mediated at this year's international economic forum here is st petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most active a colonies 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 over 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 what. 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 shouldn't hans the 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 o for 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 at the forum and this is what medvedev had to say yes. when consider i. 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 that you will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue otherwise they'll be no interest in living. so let's keep the intrigue and a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform it made of what is wrong and if you does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and yes i'm now a party in more top stories for most of the week here as judge called the case

against the alleged russian government over to and convincing and court the prosecutor's evidence. lawyers claim the united states doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him and want charges dismissed that is more important in new york explains. he is the russian citizen and their call for relentlessly to adopt victor boot was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges if you use convicted. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release of a 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 mr boot needs 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 mounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine us 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 give what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the extradite him or i should say kidnapping 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 fark rebels i'm talking it's a tide 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. the case was not finalized and it was moved to the u.s. and europe to use various means political and others outside the boundaries of due legal process to get victor boot that means that the jury is not getting a fair deal to this day tire fishel is have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boots extradition. meantime victor boot remains 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. them it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of lard to politics i think or rather i would love to think that the american court is unbiased but i have strong doubts about it because i think such pressure could be put on anyone including the jury. in. the country accusing victor who are dealing now finds itself in a political party kristie come october an american jury will decide if you want to be a political pressure at your side by the u.s. army evidently the arena fortnight artsy new york this is a long running case but hold twists and turns to it if you want to find out more but grow you want more analysis online from us tonight at r t v dot com we are on the data there and a timeline of. what show the whole story unfolding. in

. elections in egypt might be postponed as the country's current prime minister says a new constitution must be drafted first the country continues to be under military rule the time during which the road seventy thousand people been arrested since friday's revolution david keys told us the uprising to instill the mocker city and install democracy has so far changed very little. some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on charges of court unquote insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of tensions detentions of civilians not tensions the people who have you know tried to undermine the regime of people simply criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and waters who were imprisoned in military

prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe waterboarding they describe for regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until the last minute so while there have been gains and we hope that egypt has a brighter future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it's so much to overcome if you ship is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact is a very important role to play the u.s. is stepping up its unmanned drone attacks on yemen claiming to target al qaeda militants been reports of a secret cia base big built in the persian gulf for the sole purpose of taking down anti american terrorists if they managed to win through and yemen's power struggle and it's thought over one hundred people have been killed in the past two weeks the witnesses on the ground say they include a lot more civilians that was being admitted in the u.k. meantime attack helicopters and commanders squads are being prepared for possible deployment of the country british m.p. jeremy call been told is he believes the west is doing the right all the sit of

what yemen needs for stability. if the west goes in with and starts bombing on behalf of unclear who then i think then that will make the situation markedly worse yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region it's median age the population is less than eight and it has the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help develop any government open little unity to merge is asked to bring together all of the factions and all of the interests across the yemen i cannot believe that drones are likely to bring this abroad and in their haste to be involved the us look to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanistan in one nine hundred seventy you know i'm only rushed in as part of the cold war armed anyone that turned up to frighten me off and thus was born the taliban. here with one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia

has been jolted into the 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 of noticed there's artie's exeunt a boy to report compassion is a cure but sadly that's the remedy that's all too hard to come. just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students are gearing up for the lives that lay ahead of them if you choose point you to pollyanna their brightest student who it seemed had her future figured out a stage i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would open doors to the world from a yet but instead of risk pooling celebration blinis classmates gathered to hear funeral something she may not be the best she added everything and hamp herself but they didn't bring getting ready for the example weeks and believing i was the one who worked the hardest of all she thought and her load of math problems and she was

very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a great student you are many countries this trast 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 but when i was informing the president about it he found it hard to believe the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives the girls are apt to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is to boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves. eager is different his try to take his life three times the latest a time just six months ago. i just had enough i was tired of fighting with my mom

my girlfriend left me was that it was starting i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted everything to end and i wanted peace what's driving the problem in russia is what x. parents call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma. suicide to return to 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 and to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist added to the continuing social and economic shifts making it harder for parents to provide for their children and leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that it catered to children all and victim to adult biases 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 seems polished broadening almost commonplace yet it represents what x.-press say is the main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of sides that is in difference seeing no evil hearing now cries. two stories making headlines tonight a suicide bomber struck a german boy in afghanistan vehicles carrying german soldiers at the time the vehicle was destroyed of the attack but nato says there are. however at least two civilians didn't die in the explosion the taliban says it carried out of one. argentinian coastguards have seized more than four hundred kilos of cocaine on board a luxury u.s. registered yacht. the boat fled the day before the police raid authorities say well these were also found on board including machine gun which was primed for use

capable of transatlantic sailing. to their the operator of the devastated fukushima nuclear plant will open the doors of one of its reactor buildings to vent radioactive gases it's to try to prevent another explosion tepco also admits it underestimated just how much radiation it would have to filter of water this latest comes as the u.n. nuclear agency criticize tepco for its slow response and concealing the true magnitude of radioactive leaks gedge called journalist and he says the risk to people's health remains very real. i mean leaks of any kind 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 planet 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 currently 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 that any level of radiation exposure increases the risk of cancer and however negligible that risk will be with any particular person on any particular day at any pretty. sparge when it's averaged out over a large population like it's living in the for pushing their region unfortunately means there will be over time increase in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many it's going to twenty eight minutes past eleven pm here in moscow just a few minutes away from finding out why thrill seekers deliberately throw themselves into the path of make choose danger coming up short you know before that kevin i'll sum up this hour's top stories this sunday night the nineteenth of june here in moscow.

seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand damage of beach front field several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. you see we are surrounded by gravity everywhere but also there are.
