germany agrees to supply nato forces in libya with war munitions drawing criticism for deviating from its original position on intervention and speculation it's been pressured by other alliance members. meanwhile the last cooperation with moscow might be taking to a new level as discussions on a common missile the fan system in europe are expected to dominate the russian nato summit in sochi. plus a former general rocking knowledge plans to boycott the u.n. war crimes court hearing where he faces charges of genocide serbs lost their families during the bosnian war say justice is totally one sided. and in business

russia resumes electricity supplies to the result of the comfort food it paid its energy gets more than twenty minutes. now i am in the russian capital you're watching r.t.m. arena josh welcome to the program germany has agreed to supply munitions for the nato air strikes in libya the move comes despite a girl and never originally backing the operation and some suggest peer pressure has caused a shift in position as artie's read english to reports berlin's attempt to have its cake and eat it may not be proving successful. more bombs wanted just over one hundred days of airstrikes and with just over two thousand bombs dropped by nato allies on libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem

a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there is the why in this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition variously berlin has a from voting in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but are they have decided that position does not preclude them actually some supplying weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states friends in the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first hand. you know ministries toward the foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now

the backlash from washington is so tough obviously we are under pressure to do something to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be alerted by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for delivering these arms to other countries but that is normal practice between ground here between nato countries. out of the twenty eight need to members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to it's needed recently admitted to a shortage of weapons in the ever relentless more market duffy still at the helm because lucian may be facing just beginning of its problems in fact what we see here is that deliberately the country is be. destroyed which is by far by fox transgressing the decision by the security council and that's a very bad story right now is in a tough spot on the one hand it has disappointed nato by refusing to support the

mission in libya and march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may no lose friends in other high places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find that by trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing no one if you know goes corti brussels r.t. has explicitly spoken to colonel gadhafi son who believes nato just wants to feast on levy is richness. these country is a piece of cake rich. boy and we have more than one hundred million dollars for those abroad so we have to share the stage. and we have to get used to it every day and cause he's the only obstacle between. us and because. it's as simple as

a. check out the full version of this exclusive interview on our website r.t. dot com. a chance for a breakthrough on a common missile the fan system is up for grabs today for nato the alliance hand anders fogh rasmussen is in russia's city of sochi for talks and the missile shield is something that's guaranteed to be brought to the table because it has more from the spot. it has been russia's concern for a very long time now russia doesn't ones and the arms race and if nato is to place its and missile defense shield in europe and then for a missile defense shield that's going to be covering a big part of washington russia's territory then of course an arms race exactly what's going to happen according to present the great if we could see it starting by as soon as two thousand and twenty russia and the united states have signed strategic arms reduction treaty especially for the purpose of preventing an arms race and this a.m.d. seems to be an apple of discord at exactly going to do the opposite. and russia's

envoy to nato would be speaking had over russian nature summit has been saying that it's now time for nato members to make suggestions when it comes to a possibility of a joint and for a missile defense shield in europe together bridgewater as russia has already made steps forward in that direction but none of them seem to have been accepted of course the issue of operation in libya will also be widely discussed if you think about it has been saying that he believes and then ground operation could be just around the corner in the corner in libya and about the operation will only prolong this conflict and was severely worsen the situation in the region in general but of course russia and they do have some common goals such as fighting terrorism and drug trafficking and they are also on the agenda that they will be just. reporting there still have to use our here in r.t. grace to reach that walk we look at what's in store for gaza aid flotilla after

greenspan's profiles to activists from setting sail promised ports. and camel hearts saving human lives russian doctors give you life to young girls by finding a unique artificial valve made from its heart. former bosnian serb general rock a lot of just planning to boycott his second plea hearing the hague tribunal he claims he doesn't yet have his own defense. well after more than a month after he was arrested lodge was accused of ordering the massacre of thousands of bosnian muslims in the town of srebrenica as a country does our reports there are many serbs who feel the international criminal court's holding out to get justice for one side of the conflicts. the quiet little town of state meets in bosnia-herzegovina looks a tillich the houses are being built people go about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and a church sit side by side. but this apparent unity is an illusion sixteen years ago

the entire region was torn apart by ethnic clashes during the yugoslav war and seventy two became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and immoral for the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base the celebrants a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and taurus to get boston in the bosnian capital of. the tourist aren't shown by the thousands of serbian graves that lined cemeteries all around the set up and it's a region. where. thousands of people were killed during the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. but cemeteries like these with entire families of murdered serb civilians only get visited by the very few remaining survivors but only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible for this because you know that i was only

nine years old when all reached the kuwait area to go ahead and like the first he killed my mother then my father and brother i was taken captive they held me six days and only god knows why i survived. but even the bit on the survived his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored or each was at the hague tribunal and i was supposed to be a witness in his trial but in india and me in about three other witnesses were simply close to side they do cause i didn't ask what happened. and the tribunals only gave him two years in prison during the balkan war so he miss atrocities visited an all sides and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in blaming the serbs.

to so the create a rationale for so-called human occur for instance which. occurred in considerable number. of circuits so that so-called precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have both played unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important and the creation of the. scenario for makes sure in the minds of most people. was drawn aside which was preventable but for whatever reasons. and for an awful community didn't do anything about it. some might say the journey from sebring need such a benghazi via baghdad and kabul could now be traced as

a kind of nato road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there is only one possible destination carriers are the r.t.e. bosnia and herzegovina. pro palestinian activists say they're determined to deliver humanitarian aid to gaza despite a greek government banning their ships from leaving port. they have staged their hunger strike at a protest rally against the ruling give also reportedly rejected the suggestion by the greek government to send aid to gaza under un supervision israel has been warning against any authorised attempt by the activists to break the gaza blockade a similar mission a year ago and it was nine people being killed in an attack by israeli commandos british activist david help and his organized humanitarian relief efforts in gaza on several occasions told r.t. how his own vessel was once attacked by israeli forces. we were trying to get to

gaza of the third day of the. invasion so called operation. and we were high speed about sixty six miles off. in the drought five thirty in the morning. and i'm quite certain intention was to drugs i believe in speaking the truth about this war because we're dealing with people being tormented for sixty three years. and you can watch this interview about an hour's time here in our team brock obama's recently announced of gad a stand drawdown plan has been slammed by republicans they claim it's risky to pull out thirty three thousand troops by the end of the next summer but as artie's lauren lyster reports this talk of change intensifies over america's military plan

in the country many still believe nothing in fact will change at all. the aftermath of a taliban attack in kabul. this week a luxury hotel frequented by foreigners earlier this year taliban gunmen wearing suicide vests store a guesthouse used by u.n. staffers. last year another attack on hotels this is where the error of your. examples are strewn through the near decade war and will your aftermath really have any paid down here in the south only now americans heard this declaration before news of the blast we're starting this drawdown from position of strength about u.s. plans to begin pulling troops out of afghanistan next month but there are declarations on the ground from afghan activists of military might that's left a different mark democracy never come by a democracy not a pro by military invasion there was never

a time by class that thought by white phosphorus by muscle car by pumping our wedding parties and in washington talk of winding down war in one country does not wind down talk of tackling the global terrorist threat as the focus seems to shift to neighbors should be refocusing resources on pakistan yemen somalia parts of north africa and other locations i've always believed pakistan is more special than what happens in afghanistan a change in the guard at the department of defense with robert gates retiring and former cia chief leon panetta getting sworn in signals this change of course to critics i see no difference between between him and robert gates and for afghanistan we now hear a presidential pledge to pull thirty three thousand troops out by september two thousand and twelve fully recovering the surge i have now at west point the it's certainly sounds like what the american people would like to hear for the first time ever a majority want u.s. troops out about ghana stand as soon as possible fifty six percent well thirty nine

percent want troops there until the situation is stable. as you can see the trend is really flip flopped but what is the reality of obama's plans for troop withdrawal all that thirty three thousand he's calling for is a minority of the one hundred thousand american troops that are there that's not including another forty two thousand troops and ninety thousand department of defense contractors meanwhile the u.s. has reiterated a long term commitment to the country there certainly has been an agreement that following two thousand and fourteen there will be some kind of continuing presence . of presence and financial burden some see as permanent observers believe u.s. bases are in the forever future or in mr archie washington d.c. . you have gone chief leon panetta is capable of reaching a breakthrough in the ten year campaign in afghanistan all he needs to do is to change the u.s. policy completely so says he's military contributor in his latest video blog here's

a look. now when they open ever be are reviewed to have cheap so he's former associates at central intelligence agency and has assume the mantle of the pentagon chief can as a unique opportunity to reach a synergy effect from his previous position as a u.s. intelligence czar and he's current top job as the military boss and your own party at it as a new secretary of defense should resist any pressure from the white house from the congress to do more or less of the same regarding the u.s. policy in afghanistan and pakistan now he has accumulated the good will from the highly successful joint operation between u.s. intel and special ops professionals at about about nitrate he should regain any shitty of the white house decision makers and promote unconventional brand new

u.s. approach towards this counters and to shift their focus from afghanistan to pakistan only apply matter right now has such a unique capabilities to shave the u.s. policy from the unilateral troublemaking in afghanistan and pakistan to comprehensive regional policy we have shanghai cooperation organization as being the true and reliable partner for the united states instead of nater that who provided the brand new opportunities both for united states pakistan and its neighbors to jumpstart totally new regional security policies that will benefit to all parties concerned. and later we'll bring you the revelations of a military journalist hispanic year in iraq and interviewed thousands of u.s. soldiers that's in a special report coming out about fifteen minutes time here on r.t. . in the spending the year in iraq is knowledge or journalist i saw some of the

ways to go and u.s. contractors there is kind of wasting their time trying not to get killed three and . a and. i thought all was willing to do stuff to see about five hundred miles. it would take me about twenty seven days in newton to publicising from people and by the markets i think the whole lead speech was people started the face of a dialogue in sleep just. changing the slogan or when the sun seems that it's the. arrow. and i'll stake a look at some other stories from around the world efforts are underway in thailand
