twenty years ago country. is. what. did it take.

with. the. city of sochi in just a few minutes now president takes the floor. of his speech. to supply the forces in libya with. criticism for deviating from its original position on intervention amid speculation it's been pressured by other. removed from the un a war crimes court for disrupting the proceedings the former general is facing charges refused to enter a plea. chief

expressed hopes that russia could reach an agreement on missile defense by next may however the russian side warned moving too slow at the moment president medvedev is expected to begin his speech at the nato summit any minute now i will be covering that for you live here for the meantime. more on the talks that have already been. 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 washington russia's territory and then of course an arms race exactly what's going to happen according to present visit 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 specially 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 we never should. we would agree on a mission the french over my age or even in a few months. this is too important for all of which. the gianluca missile defense is going as fast or not as easy as many hoped it would after the lisbon summit however this is going on and today we are talking about how russia sees further work in these fields and the rumor is that president bush is going to make a harsh statement today on nato slowing down the process of negotiations on a joint defense shield in europe russia and boyd to nato. speaking i had over russia a 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 and three 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 on ground operation could be just around the corner in the corner in libya and that operation will only prolong this conflict and severely worsen the situation in the region in general and space invaders he's meeting with president jacob zuma who on behalf of the african union is 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 it's the position of the nato countries. or who's telling the whole reporting right now a president. just about to take the floor to speak will be crossing live there in just a moment but for now we carry on. as the russia nato council discusses the action

in libya the alliance is running short on bombs and is germany which was agreed to make up the shortfall for the controversial airstrikes the move comes despite berlin and never originally backing the operation and some suggest peer pressure has caused a shift in position as artie's are going to go to school reports berlin's attempt to have its cake and eat it too 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 supply in this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has a from voting in favor of the un security council resolution on libya and 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 are they have decided that

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. 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 lured 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 currently 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 in libya in march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now 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 even goes. well after he has spoken exclusively to colonel qadhafi his son who believes the nato just wants to feast on libya's richards. this country is

a piece of cake rich full of guys. and we have more than one hundred billion dollars because it's abroad so we have to share this cake that it. and we have to get used to because it is the only obvious to go between. us and because. it's as simple as the full version of this exclusive interview on our website of course that is c dot com. now it's seven minutes past the hour here in moscow the judge at 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 the former bosnian general lightish was then ordered out of the courtroom for interrupting the judge and speaking out of turn 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. the massacre of thousands of

bosnian muslims in the town of strep and it's a but it's also use of katrina reports there are many subjects feel the international criminal courts only out to get justice from one side in 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 us love war and seventy to became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and the moral for the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base the sort of thing 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 only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible for you because you know that i was only nine years old when last year all reached a way eric a year ahead in life the first he killed my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me put fifty six days and only god knows why i survived. but even though but on a survive 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 the end me and about thirty other witnesses were simply custer side they didn't call us 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 serves the purpose is to. create a rationale for sore called humanitarian interventions in the occurred in considerable number of the math 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. the creation of the. scenario for make sure that in the minds of most people. was a drone which was preventable but for whatever reasons the so-called international community didn't do anything about it. some might say the journey from sitting needs it 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. castros are about r t bosnia and herzegovina. now if you bear in mind you can always find more on all the news we are covering on our website dot com you can also follow many other stories including the silent clapping that's learning some belorussian activists in jail independence day in

people being tormented for sixty three years. barack obama's recently announced afghanistan a drawdown. has been slammed by republicans they claim it's risky to pull out thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer but as artie's laurent lister reports as talk of change intensifies over america's military plan in that country many still believe in nothing will change at all. the aftermath of a taliban attack in kabul. 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 every year. examples are strewn through the near decade war familiar aftermath we have any pay

critics i see no difference between and 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. 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
