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 blocs cooperation with moscow might be taking to a new level as discussions on a common missile defense system in europe are expected to dominate the russia nato summit in sochi. plus former general rotten lot of plans to boycott the u.n. war crimes court hearing where he faces charges of genocide serbs who lost their families during the bosnian war say justice is totally one sided. and in business russia resume to electricity supplies to belarus all to the comfort food it paid its energy debts more than twenty minutes.

nine am in the russian capital you're watching r.t.m. marina josh welcome to the program germany has agreed to supply munitions for the nato air strikes in libya the move comes despite a berlin never originally backing the operation and some suggest peer pressure has caused a shift in position as artie's a reading the 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 cells to drop where there is demand there is supply in this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has abstained from voting in favor of the u.n.

security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and angered others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually subserve lying 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 our 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 that 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 to other countries but that is normal practice between current he would mean nato countries . out of the twenty eight nato members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which nato recently admitted to a shortage of weapons and the ever relentless more market duffy still at the helm the coalition may be facing just the beginning of its problems in fact what we see here is that deliberately the country is be. destroyed which is by far by five transgressing the decision by the security council and that's a very bad story right now berlin is in a tough spot on the one hand it has disappointed nato by refusing to support the mission only being 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 it is a ghost core to brussels r.t. has explicitly spoken to colonel qadhafi son who believes nato just wants to feast on levy his riches. these country is a piece of cake rich. boy and we have more than one hundred million dollars deposits abroad so we have to share this cake. and we have to get used to because it is the only job was to go between. us and the cake it's as simple as that. check out the full version of this exclusive interview on our website r t v dot com. a chance for a breakthrough on a common missile the fan system is up for grabs today for nato the alliance had an

arse 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 are doesn't tell you all the cohen has more from the spot. and it has been russia's concern for a very long time now russia doesn't want an arms race and if nato is to place its anti-missile defense shield in europe and then trying to sell defense shield that's going to be covering it big part of russian 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 seems to be an apple of discord at exactly going to do the opposite. and russia's envoy to nato. speaking had over russia the nato summit has been saying that it's now time for nato members to make suggestions when it comes to a possibility of a joint missile defense shield in europe together with washer as russia has already

made steps forward in that direction but none of them seem to have been accepted of course the issue of nature's operation in libya will also be widely discussed to be their voice and has been saying that he believes and the ground operation could be just around the corner in the corner in libya and that's operation will only prolong this conflict 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 today will be discussed. reporting there still have for you this hour here in r.t. brace to breach the blockade we'll look at what's in store for gaza aid flotilla after greenspan's pro palestinian activist from setting sail from its ports. and ammo hard saving human lives russian doctors give new life to young girls by planning a unique artificial valve made from it and it's hard. former bosnian serb

general rock a lot of his planning to boycott his second please hearing the hague tribunal he claims he doesn't yet have his own defense. where and more than a month after he was arrested lot of was accused of ordering the massacre of thousands of bosnian muslims in the town of srebrenica but as a country does our reports there are many serbs who feel the international criminal court's only out to get justice for one side in the conflicts. liquid little town of sibling meets in bosnia and herzegovina who looks at dylan you 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 separate needs to became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today

a memorial for the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base the city but it's a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists who get boston from the bosnian capital of what the tourist arm shown are the thousands of serbian graves that lined cemeteries all around the state of being it's a region. 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 i only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible for his best because you know that i was only nine years old when last year or each took away everything i had in life the first he killed my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me for six days and only god knows how or why i survived.

but even then but on a survive his loss just like that of spasms 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 the end me in about thirty other witnesses was simply cost a side they didn't cause he didn't ask what happened to our families and the tribunals only gave him two years in prison. the balkan war so heinous atrocities visited on all sides and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in blaming the serbs the purpose of that is to set the stage and create a rationale for so called humanitarian interventions which in the occurred in considerable number in the mouth of stock in it so that so-called

precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have all played unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important and the creation of the. scenario to make sure that in the minds of most people. was drawn aside which was preventable but for whatever reasons the so-called international community didn't do anything about it. simmered say the journey from sitting meets up to 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. castree knows are about r t bosnia and herzegovina

from palestinian activists say they are determined to deliver humanitarian aid to gaza despite the greek government banning their ships from leaving port. they've staged their hunger strike at a protest rally against their will you 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 activists david help and has 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 on the third day of the. invasion so-called operation. and we were high speed of about sixty six miles off the coast of haifa in the

drought five thirty in the morning. and i'm quite certain the intention was to drown this i believe in speaking the truth about this more 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 brock obama's recently announced of gotta 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 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 storm a guest house used by u.n. staffers. last year another attack on hotels this is where your. examples are strewn through the near decade war familiar aftermath we have anybody paid down here in the south only now americans heard this declaration before news of the blast we're starting this drawdown from a 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 selected different mark democracy never come by a question democracy never come by military invasion democracy never comes by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by muscle car by bumping our wedding parties and didn't 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 central to 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 we're covering the surge i announced at west point well it 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 while 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 nato 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 lauren mr r.t. washington d.c. me a paragon 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 our military contributor in his latest video blog here's a look. now when they don't buy an adam bede are reviewed deaf to his former associates at central intelligence agency and has assume the mantle

of the pentagon chief has a unique opportunity to reach a synergy effect from his previous position as the u.s. intelligence czar and he is current top job as the military boss in their own finances 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 the us intel and special ops professionals at. trade he should regain and initiative from the white house decision makers and promote unconventional brand new u.s. approach towards this contraries and to shift the focus from afghanistan to pakistan only by mather right now has such a unique capabilities to the u.s. policy from the unilateral troublemaking in afghanistan and pakistan to

a comprehensive regional policy re at the shanghai cooperation organization as being the true and reliable partner for the united states instead of nato that who provided the brand new opportunities both for united states pakistan and its neighbors to jumpstart totally new regional security policies that would 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 and about fifteen minutes time here on our. in the spending the year in iraq is now the trade journalist i saw some of the ways to go and the newest 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 a day would take me about twenty seven days in new going to publicize and people invited the more i think the hope believes these people started the bait have a dialogue and sleep just. chanting the slogan or waiting in silence means that it's the. air or. and also take a look at some other stories from around the world the efforts are underway in thailand to form a new coalition government which will bring the converse first have a female prime minister to power that's after the opposition party won a landslide victory in sunday's general election obtaining a clear majority of seats in the parliament its leader

a forty four year old. is the sister of the country's exiled leader toppled an army who five years ago it's hoped the election will and the country's long running political crisis. the ailing venezuelan president hugo chavez will not be able to work for up to half a year he's likely to stay in cuba for continued cancer treatment this is opponents have accused the government of not providing enough information about the president's condition only years illness has also raised questions about whether he will be fit to run for reelection next year. it's a groundbreaking and hard fixing new procedure of russian surgeons have thrown a lifeline to a young girl who suffered from a rare heart defect they provided her with a unique transplant with a valve from a pig's heart and the first operation of its kind. has more. only chance for survival a renowned surgeon is implementing

a groundbreaking official made from a pig's into the chest of twenty four year old who has a rare a life threatening defect. invented by russian surgeons has never been used before the for the operation is complete. in itself is a success we need some time to see how the patient recovers but in any case how long before it was unbearable. with ali is employed came from just outside of moscow earlier surgeons had to sort through hundreds of pigs and cows to find one that can be used as. it was over. impossible to find the right tone of the new model so far it's tailor made solution even before they're born each one of these cows was matched up with their to a patient who's waiting on a less than moscow now since then the way that they've been fed every single part of their lifestyle has been carefully monitored so when the time comes they become

the perfect donor the owner of the farm alexander kind of was a multimillionaire entrepreneur but two years ago he sold all of his businesses and retired to the countryside to graze the most ecologically clean farm possible he gives away his animals hearts for nothing this was a way that we were just so proud we were helping save lives i never thought we'd be doing this he knew that once the heart is removed from the animal it's taken to this hospital lab here at the sterilized and all the parts of the valve are sewn together biological valves are often superior to traditional mechanical models and don't require the patient to take drugs for their lifetime the lab director is hoping more successful implants will encourage health authorities to invest more funds in them in the store. only to use reproduce of biological volves in the whole of russia and it's not enough great know people here died before they can get to the treatment two weeks have passed and that is no damage and she wore. it's just

i feel wonderful i feel like i have a wife and plan to change my job and i want to have children which. doctors say that natalia should be completely healthy in six months and hope she'll be deferred thousands to receive the lifesaving transplant. r.t. moscow. well we back to recap our top stories in just a few minutes and next hour we'll take a look at what's happening in the world of business was you leon. hello that's right time to delve into the world of business of our warm welcome russia has resumed leftists just supplies to better routes off to the country fully paid its energy debts russian power generator interop pull the plug on crisis hit better was last wednesday with the country owing fifty four million dollars the company promised source or supplies as soon as it got the money however it took

interim over a day to resume energy deliver is due to technical problems russia provides twelve percent of the better russian and which is to demand. while the world is seeing a major shift towards gas as the predominant fossil fuel and gas from is eyeing a rise in gas prices as a result. of not capital says the company would do well to use the spike to its advantage. i don't expect the gas price will be you know duplicating the hike in the crude price but it will probably reach as much as sixty or seventy percent of this price change so give the for example gas bromates a certain goodwill discount to west european customers not the discount but i'm saying not trying to keep up with the hike in the world natural gas would be a little bit one step behind this hike it would be a good point for western parts to feel like more more friendly i'm completely
