twenty years ago in march this country in. this case it. was have been trying. to teach began a journey. where did it take. nato is cooperation with moscow we might be heading to a new level with a common missile defense system for europe dominating talks in russia as a city of sochi in just a few minutes now president of your different takes the floor at the summit and will read bring you his speech live. meanwhile germany agrees to supply the block's forces in libya with the war munitions destroyed or in criticism for deviating from its original position on intervention amid speculation it's been pressured by other nato members. plus the rest of luggage is removed from the un a war crimes court for just rocking the proceedings a former general is facing

a genocide charges but refused to enter a plea following earlier threats to boycott the hearing. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow i'm a real research. chief expressed hopes that russia and the alliance could reach an agreement on the missile defense by next may however the russian scientists warn that dialogue is moving too slow at the moment president medvedev is expected to begin his speech at the russia nato summit any minute now i will be covering that for you live here and see for the meantime. has more on the talks that have already been held. it has been a concern for a very long time now russia doesn't want and the arms race and if nato is. place

its anti-missile defense shield in europe and then for a missile defense shield that's going to be covering it big part of washington russia's territory and then of course an arms race exactly what's going to happen according to present visions we could see it starting by as soon as two thousand and twenty russia and the united states have signed strategic arms reduction treaty specially for the purpose of preventing an arms race and this amzi seems to be an apple of discord that exactly going to do the opposite and provoke it we never should and we would agree on mission different overnight even in a few months. this is true important for all of your good books the gianluca may sound defense is going as fast or not as easy as many hoped it would after the policeman summits however these dialogue is going on and today we are talking about how russia sees further work in these fields and the rumor is that president is going to make a harsh statement today on nato slowing down the process of negotiations on a joint anti-missile defense shield in europe russia's envoy to nato admitted i was

in speaking i had over the nato summit has been saying that it's now time for our nato members to make suggestions when it comes to a possibility of a joint anti-missile defense shield in europe together with russia as russia has already made steps forward in that direction but none of them seem to have been accepted of course the issue over and they just operation in libya will also be widely discussed neither of which it has been saying that he believes and on ground operation could be just around the corner in the corner in libya and that the operation will only prolong this conflict and really worsen the situation in the region in general and specifically just he's meeting with president jacob zuma who on behalf of the african union he's discussing the problem of libya with the russian president as russia's position on how to bring peace to libya is much closer to the position of african union members than to the position of the nato

countries. reporting right then our president dmitri medvedev just about to take the floor to speak will be crossing live there in just a moment but for now we carry our. as the russia nato council discusses the action in libya the alliance is running short on bombs germany which has agreed to make up the shortfall for the controversial airstrikes the move comes or despite berlin and never originally backing the operation some suggest peer pressure has caused a shift in position as i think are going to go to school reports berlin's attempt to have its cake and eat it too may not be proving successful. with 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 expected problem a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there is the lie and this is their only has agreed to provide the much needed around the nation variously berlin house

of from voting in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya and move that surprised some and good others but it may now be backing out of it this isn't the germans may not want to participate but are they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually supplying weapons in this case or assistance some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states france and the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first in. ministries towards 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

lured 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 clients but that is normal practice between current and. nato countries. out of the twenty eighth need to members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which nato recently admitted to a shortage of weapons and the everleigh the small market is still at the helm a collision 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 in libya in march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now lose friends in other places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find the guy trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing

no one in a gold court. well r.t. has spoken exclusively to colonel khadafi son who believes that nato just wants to feast on it live because richard's. these country is a piece of cake rich full of jazz. and we have more than one hundred million dollars that's abroad sold we have. got it. and we have to get this done because he's the only obstacle between. us and because. it's a symbol of the full version of this exclusive interview on our website of course that is art si dot com. now at seven minutes past the hour here in moscow the judge of the hague tribunal has entered a not guilty plea on behalf of record luggage that's after the court refused to postpone the hearing at the request of a former bosnian general knowledge 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 hadn't been able to choose his own a defense lawyer more than a month after his arrest was accused of ordering is the massacre of thousands of muslims and muslims in the town of srebrenica but as i say these are coming out of reports there are many serbs you feel the international criminal courts only out to get justice from one side in the conflict. and require a little town of slipping needs in bosnia and herzegovina look sigil it here 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 sixty years ago the entire region was torn apart by ethnic clashes during the yugoslav war instead they need to became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and the morial for the

knows why i survived. but even beyond the survive his loss just like that 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 the end me in about thirty other witnesses was simply cost a side they didn't cause i didn't ask what happened to our families and the tribunal 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 and blaming the serves the purpose of through. the create. for so-called humanitarian interventions which. occurred in considerable number. of syrup and so that

so-called precedent can be traced through the years into today's headlines was in iraq afghanistan and most recently libya told played a million hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones but it is very important. the creation of the. snorer you for make sure in the minds of most people. was a drone which was preventable but for whatever reasons. international community do anything about it. some might say the journey from sibling it's such a big ozzie via baghdad and kabul could now be traced as a kind of major road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there is only one possible destination. carriers are about r t barton herzegovina.

now i do bear in mind you can always find more on all the news we are covering on our website that starts he thought come now you can also follow many other stories including the silent clapping that's learning some belorussians i could just sit in jail for independence day in belo roofs were marked by anything but a holiday mood with more than one hundred detained during sunday's antigovernment protesters all now face trial witnesses say police used tear gas and beat up activists as they tried to round up the latest silent protest but you can watch the video of the brutal crackdown and see how the situation in the country is unfolding similar to come. in our twelve minutes past the hour here in the russian capital pro palestinian activists have evolved to defy

year taliban gunmen wearing suicide vests join a guest house used by u.n. staffers. last year another attack on hotels there's no word for your. examples are strewn through the near decade war kamil your aftermath we have any takedown 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 but there are declarations on the ground from afghan activists and military might that slipped a different mark the marquess never come by a democracy by militant gratian democracy by cluster bomb my wife thought was quite masacre by pumping our other 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 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 of afghanistan as soon as possible fifty six percent well thirty nine percent want troops there until the situation is stabilized you can see the trend is really flip flop. 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 some 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. a. little bit later here on r.t. will bring you the revelations of a military journalist who spent a year in iraq and interviewed hundreds of u.s. soldiers there that's in a special report coming up next hour here on artsy spending the year in iraq is in the true journalists. killed.
