world and we go to you ladies and gentlemen dear colleagues. we look at you i suggest would go absolutely and we have discussed the privilege of the most relevant issues of the. you know we do apologize though we apologize for the technical difficulties there but that was a live transmission from the russia nato summit in the black sea resort of just a just a moment ago but some of the comments the russian president really is saying very little he said that the issue of missile defense that they made some agreements alone last november's lisbon summit but they didn't make any concrete motions from there the russian president saying very little we'll have more details on that in a few moments here in our team but let's let's not get to our main headlines here bear in mind if you missed anything on there you can always catch it in full detail on our website r.t.

dot com now in the meantime nato and moscow might be heading to a new level of cooperation with a combined a missile defense system for europe dominating talks in a rushers city of sochi. bombing campaign over libya hits fresh problems as the alliance runs out of missiles with germany turning on abstaining from the conflict so it can deliver a ball to its allies. in general run cold blooded choose objective from the war crimes court forcing the judge to enter a not guilty plea on his behalf. facing charges including the genocide carried out in the balkans war. cuse the hague over a one sided just. a

very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow i'm. chief has expressed hopes that russia and the airlines could reach an agreement on missile defense by next may however however the russian side has warned that donald is moving too slow in the meantime. has more on the talks that have already been held and it has been russia's concern for a very long time now russia doesn't want and the arms race and if nato is to place its enzyme 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 and then of course an arms race is exactly what's going to happen according to present the data if we could see it starting by as soon as two thousand and twenty and russia and the united states have signed strategic arms reduction treaty specially for the purpose of preventing an arms race and this seems to be an apple of discord at exactly going to do the opposite.

we never said. we would agree on missile defense or overnight or even in a few months. this is true important for all of us your book the journey local missile defense is going as far as to not as easy as many hoped it would after the lisbon summit however this dialogue is going on and today we are talking about how russia sees further work in these fields russia's envoy to nato 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 where the washer as is russia has already made steps forward in that direction but none of them seem to have been accepted. reporting right well with civilian casualties mounting still in power and nato are running out of bombs there's a growing question over what the future holds for libya a major theme of the russia nato conference russia has made it clear its opposition

to nato saying the alliance is going beyond the call of duty in a bid to force a regime change president you're there for so met with south africa's leader jacko but zuma to talk about mediating an end to the bloodshed something that both leaders agreed on must be done that's as a nato faces another problem in libya a crippling shortage of munitions and artie's reports now even germany has changed its stance on the conflict by bailing out its more active allies. 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 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 countries but that is normal practice between can't 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 in libya in march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now 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 go. now one of his sons claims that nato is deploying special forces in libya to just get rid of the country's leader also spoke to his brother saif al

islam gadhafi who believes the military alliance wants only to feast on the two years for which. these country is a piece of cake rich full of guys oil and we have more than one hundred million dollars deposits abroad so we have to share these people that's it. and you have to get with it because this is the only obstacle between. us and the cake it's as simple as that check out the full version of this exclusive interview on our website at. the hague it was crimes tribunal has entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former bosnian serb general ratko the accused was ordered out of the court for interrupting the judge and speaking out of turn the former general later complained of having had trouble hearing previously the judge refused to postpone the hearing at the request of light it to threaten to boycott

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 line cemeteries all around us that have been 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 know i was only nine years old when this had already struck away everything i had and why of the first he killed my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me for 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.

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 cast aside they didn't call us 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 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
