nato's cooperation with moscow might be taken to a new level as discussions on a common missile defense system in europe are dominating the bloc summit was russia insulting. meanwhile germany agrees to supply the blocks forces in libya with more munitions drawing criticism for deviating from its original position on intervention and that speculation has been pressured by other nato members. plus his former general iraq a lot of plans to boycott the u.n. war crimes court hearing where he faces charges of genocide and serbs who lost their families during the bosnian war say justice is totally one sided. this is r.t. coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie a chance for

a breakthrough on a common missile defense system is up for grabs today for nato the alliance had anders fogh rasmussen is russia's city of sochi for talks and the missile shield is something that's guaranteed to be brought to the table the time 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 a 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 your. defense is going. as easy as maybe hope to. summit.

and. russia sees. russia and to nato speaking had over russia 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 anti-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 ground operation could be just around the corner in the corner in libya and that's operation will only prolong this conflict and severely worsen the situation in the region in general but of course to 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. and so i know we can reporting on president richard van of his also attending the summit hoping to give some impetus to the talks will be crossing live

to see what you want he takes a floor to speak. as a russian nato council discusses the action in libya the alliance is running short on bomb shells and it's germany which has agreed to make up the shortfall in the munitions for the controversial airstrikes the move comes despite berlin never regionally backing the operation and some suggest peer pressure has caused a shift in position as a real english tory ports 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 shells 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 un 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 position does not preclude them actually sublime 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 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 countries even between 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. 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 all 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 ima go. party has exclusively spoken to colonel

cost to side they didn't cause you 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 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 the purpose of that is to set the stage and create a rationale for so-called humanitarian interventions which indeed occurred in considerable number of the mouth of serpent so that circle 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 in the creation of the. scenario
