nato's cooperation with moscow might be taken to a new level as discussions at a common missile the fan system in europe are dominating the blog summit with brush in sochi. meanwhile germany agrees to supply the block's forces in libya with more munitions drawing criticism for deviating from its original position on intervention amid speculation has been pressured by other nato members. lot of just removed from the u.n. war crimes court for disrupting proceedings the former general is facing genocide charges refused to enter a plea following earlier threats to boycott the hearing. and in business plugged back in russia has resumed electricity supplies to belarus off the country is fully paid its energy debt and business in about twenty minutes.

is one pm in the russian capital euro with. a chance for a breakthrough on a common missile defense system is up for grabs today for nato the alliance heads under sawgrass misson is in russia's city of sochi for talks and the missile shield is something that is guaranteed to be brought to the table are just as i know a go has more from the spot. 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 russia and russia's territory then of course an arms race is 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.

difference is going. as easy as maybe hope to spend summits. and. russia sees these feet russia's envoy to nato speaking had over 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 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 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 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. porting their president dmitri me to the idea of is also attending the summit hoping to give some impetus to the talks will be crossing live to sochi when he takes the floor to speak. as the 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 munitions for the controversial airstrikes the move comes despite berlin never originally backing the operation in some suggest peer pressure has caused a shift in position as he is reading those 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 in libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there is supply and 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 good 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 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 can't even be in 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 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 even goes. r.t. has explicitly spoken to colonel gadhafi son who believes nato just wants to feast on libya's richest. country is a piece of cake rich. or you may have more than one hundred billion dollars deposits abroad told we have to show you this could get it. and you have to get used to because it is the only job was to go to the. us. but there. is a sort of. check out the full version of this explosive interview on our website r t v dot com. over one hundred forty activists will face trial in bello reuss after they were detained during anti-government protest on sunday witnesses say police used tear gas and beat activists as they tried to

round up the latest silent demonstration marked only by well we have correspondent there who will bring us the latest and we will try to join him later in the program . before that the judge at the hague tribunal has endured a not guilty plea on behalf of the former bosnian serb general that's after the court refused to postpone the hearing at his request lot of she was then ordered out of the courtroom for interrupting the judge and speaking out of turn earlier he had threatened to boycott the hearing complaining he had been able to choose at a fan's laura more than a month after his arrest modish is accused of ordering the massacre of thousands of bosnian muslims and the town of seventy but as country has already poor it's there a man he serves who feel the international criminal courts only out to get justice

for one side of the conflict. liquid little town of sibling meets in bosnia and herzegovina who looks at dilip 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 instead of benita 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 sibling 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 aren't shown are the thousands of serbian graves that line cemeteries all around us that have been used to 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 next 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 though but on a survive his loss just like that of spouses 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 and about thirty other witnesses were simply cost to side they didn't cause he didn't ask what happened to our families

and the tribunals only gave him two years in prison costing. 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 in the occurred in considerable number. of structure 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 for 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 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. castros are about r t bosnia and herzegovina. so i had for you this hour here in r t brace to breach the blockade we'll look at what's in store for the gaza aid flotilla after greenspan's propellants seen activists from setting sail from its ports. and hard saving human lives russian doctors give new life to a young girl by implanting a unique or artificial valve made from it takes hard. well you know across the
