of bank of moscow facing criminal charges our fates huge bailout regulators discovered a third up a bank sasser at some point about the longest journey for more on that in our business bulletin in twenty minutes. it's just after seven pm here in moscow this is artsy welcome to the program russia and nato have failed to reach a consensus on a missile defense plans in europe with the alliance standing firm on its position and i says it's against the joint and the missile shield and doesn't find it necessary to provide russia with legal guarantees that the shield would be directed against it parties and tell another couple has more from russia city of sochi where the talks have now joined to a close. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov described socks. missile defense

shield in europe has long and not going as smoothly as it was expected while speaking at a separate press conference secretary general of nato rasmussen has never promised for those talks will simply happen overnight he also explains the reason why sectoral anti-missile defense shield reports station of russia is impossible is because nature cannot delegate the security of nato countries to a third party was part of that support herself but it would want to have a judicial proof of that and time missile defense shield is not aimed against russia there are three general rasmussen has so far he sees no need of such a proof and once again we try to ensure that i am g. in here not going to be a threat to russia big part of russia will be covered by that and fight missile defense shield and russian president dmitry medvedev believes that that could be a potential reason for another arms race on the sidelines of the russian nato

council and there was a meeting between the russian president and if you need to be to france the president of south africa jacob zuma came to preside and new ideas of how to resolve the conflict in libya the ideas were deprived from the recent summit of the african union and he was here speaking on behalf of the union of their ideas were heard outsports it seems that russia and nature are still not on the same page when it comes to resolving the conflict let's listen to what russian foreign minister lavrov had to say. we believe that the arms embargo that was introduced by the un security council is straightforward but it is captured this way the resolution is a closed loop is in charge your injury therefore any arms supplies are violating this resolution as well as any chance to send military instructors into libya to deliver military knowledge and know how avi's cases are covered by the arms abroad . and this is our position and speaking of had over this meeting of russia's and

boy to nato we did our voice and said that he fears that unknown ground operation is just around the corner and if that happens. this iteration in the region will severely be worse and meanwhile today secretary general rasmussen once again try to reassure everyone that's a ground operation is not in the plans. and i don't know because we're reporting right there with civilian casualties mounting still in power no end to the conflict in sight and nato has had yet another problem putting shortage of munitions you know answers appealed to germany which had previously resisted getting involved in the conflict to chip in and it's not easy when it was going to go there are those who believe it's also hard to get on board now there's a profit to be made. 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 the price and risk is there only has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin house of pain 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 will not want to participate but are they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually supplying weapons in this case or systems 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. you know ministries toward the foreign 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 alerted by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for the live in. 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 they call ition may be facing just the beginning of its problems. berlin is in a tough spot on the one hand in how. 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. i don't want to discuss the significance of a john needs latest move for now joined by political blogger rosoff. i thank you for joining us today germany's now joined the conflict is now a funneling weapons into libya certainly every possible from its original stand so are we seeing a more united nato front and would it help and bring and get to the conflict. the united nato front would not bring an end to the conflict where you know nato defense ministers recently confirmed or are there confirmed an extension of the work and some of you know for another ninety days to be under the september the war is actually you know it's one hundred a day right now amounts to march the nineteenth germany for whatever reason some wisely and certainly from its own point of view joining the birth of the nation

will serve us or china india and brazil in the security council on march seventeenth and abstaining on you under a solution ones in seventy three however. nato being what it is germany and so you are in some measure certainly an additional a raft aircraft where its aircraft there fairness around there for your military resources from those nato partners states that were referred to there were these when you talk about native partnership i forgive me for interrupting here if i can germany have a responsibility to support his military and i thought why what's the point of being in nato in a place. i mean that's a good question what it suggests is a nato obligations override national security concerns national interests international law even though you know one wants to go into it or decide stipulations sort of or u.n. resolution one thousand seventy three which have been exceeded. you know. their

mandate fashioned by your you know the word of which again you know this was well into its fourth month when you can you keep calling it a war but you mentioned u.n. resolution one i seventy three it's a humanitarian mission isn't it was a great and war a humanitarian mission because the united. mandate a words of war well i'm not a military analyst nor myself at all so i you can call me iraq was to characterize thirteen thousand nato way or missions over a country of six and a half million people including what nato itself acknowledges as friday thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know this is not simply a question of you know if you're targeting libyan civilians from going over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action it's a matter of aggression it's a war and i know it you're quoting it well but if it wasn't for nato who else would mobilize so quickly to fight against the kind of abuses of civilians we've seen and if you have one of the options. you know first of all this is a very softer approach if i could turn your question right around and say but if

nato exists why hasn't it intervened in bahrain and you know many number of other places around the world nato when it's of its major members in the first place and bring about the nato united states france england ordinarily germany and italy pursue their own geopolitical interests there and then is a war of choice so war of opportunity and you know they preserve a back to the question of germany you know germany indeed has not participated in those american nato air bases and other facilities in germany of course are connected with the with the ongoing hostile of hostilities if you prefer the term in libya. germany has also read renewed its participation in operation active endeavor which is a nearly ten year or a nato maritime patrol and surveillance operation throughout the series it seems that germany is getting more involved and it's a partnership with with nato here but in a recent article in your prolonged he wrote that nato is mobilizing for even more

conflict now given the western economic crisis and i know war fatigue public where what you got off saying. i mean i'm judging them by their track record i mean the major major nato nations they've waged for. again whatever you choose to call them . military acts of aggression against foreign sovereign nations and for oh here is some fighting force of our viewers who are the afghanistan are often not libya they're also involved in militarily in the horn of africa off the horn of africa on the go for nato is fair looking for indian and god and troops into somalia for a one to sides are fighting if there should be going to each other i think the word if not acceptable term but you know of the armed conflict going to be preferred somalia and so forth i mean this is a war making our organization it is nothing but you know to present it as a peacekeeping force because occasionally it is your united nations.

authorization to participate in certain directions as it is to disguise the true nature of medo it's the world's only military or it's one that's increased from sixteen members to twenty eight members in the dark age it's one that is partnerships around the world it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now there was in afghanistan and libya i think you know we can dispute you know migrants of convention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of the north of the arctic thirty organization now right ereka rosoff they have to look and see stop and a time many thanks to you. all nato has deployed now commando units in libya to get rid of colonel gadhafi that's the claim from one of his sons this comes after another son saif gadhafi spoke exclusively to us he did say that he believes the alliance once only to feast on libya's righteous these country is a piece of cake rich and of guys. and we have more than one hundred billion

dollars deposits abroad so we have to share this cake that i. had to have to get with i.v. because he's the only hope was to cut between. i think it's as simple as that you can share the full version of this exclusive interview on our website alex you've got can. you with r.t. now the hague war crimes tribunal has entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former bosnian serb general. the accused was ordered out of the court for interrupting the judge and speaking out of turn the former general later complain of having had trouble hearing what was going on previously the judge refused to postpone the hearing of the request of about it she threatened to boycott the proceedings he has rejected the legal team given to him by the court demanding to choose his own defense lawyers luggage is accused of

ordering the mass killing of thousands of bosnian muslims during the balkans war czar to. support many serbs for you all the international criminal court is only taking one side in the conflict. little town of slipping needs in bosnia and herzegovina. your houses are being built people go about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and 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 and simply needs to became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and the morial it is seized sits in the grounds of a former un military base so again it's a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and taurus to get bussed in from the bosnian capital of. the tourist arm shown by

the thousands of serbian graves that ryan cemeteries all around the region. thousands of people were killed during the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. but cemeteries like these were going to our 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 bosnian muslim general is responsible. because you know i was only nine years old when i said already stick away everything i had in life first to kill my mother then my father and brother i was wounded and taken captive they held me for fifty six days and only god knows how or why i survived. but even the went on to survive his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored. was a 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 on 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 russian role for so called humanitarian interventions which. occurred in considerable number. of circuit 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 but it is very important. the creation of

a scenario for make sure that in the minds of most people. was on the side which was preventable but for whatever reasons. for national community didn't do anything about it. some might say the journey from simply 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. carriers are about r t button and herzegovina. now we're seventeen minutes past the hour here in moscow i know coming up in just a few minutes a drawn out drop down besides quite barack obama's plan for a massive pullout from afghanistan next year experts claim america is stuck there for years to come and paying for the conflict with blood and money. organizers of a pro palestinian flotilla have vowed to defy

a greek sailor about to push ahead with their humanitarian mission to gaza at all costs about and came after a number of ships were found to be damaged but activists condemning what they said was sabotaged by israeli security forces the greek government had offered to deliver the supplies through israel but that proposal was rejected tell of even return has sworn to prevent the civilian freed from reaching garza similar mission just over a year ago ended with nine people dead after israeli commandos stormed the flotilla british campaigner david helping who's been involved in transporting relief supplies to gaza told r.t. how his own vessel was once a type in the same way the full interview is coming your way next hour but for now is a preview. we were trying to get to garza on the third day of the poem by albums and invasion so called operation requires fluid and we were at high speed of about sixty six miles off the coast of haifa in the dark five thirty in the morning.

and still seems and i'm quite certain that the intention was to drown us i believe in speaking the truth about the small because we're dealing with people being tormented for sixty three years. and at that interview is next hour here on artsy now the death of lawyer magnitsky in two thousand and nine he was being detained by authorities at the time was down to insufficient medical help and that's according to russia's investigative committee which having now finished analyzing the medical evidence claimed chris to . and staff involved will face trial from all of our lives to what is course one of the latest on. so peter are we are we seeing a breakthrough do you think in the magnitsky case this announcement. well the investigation really is still going both what we've heard today from the investigative committee is that the additional forensic medical examination into

the death of surrogate magnitsky is now being completed a spokesperson for the the investigative committee said that's medical examination revealed that magnitsky had a preexisting heart condition which had contributed to his death now he also went on to say criminal a criminal case has been opened and charges of failure to provide adequate medical care and negligence are to be brought against stuff at the detention facility where sergei magnitsky was awaiting trial being held waiting trial on charges of tax evasion now in this case the death of the magnitsky in custody while he was awaiting that trial drew huge interest all around the world with many many human rights groups calling for a full investigation to determine exactly what happened that led to his death. all right. thank you. recently announced

afghanistan drawdown plan has been slammed by republicans they say withdrawing thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer is too much of a military risk. to find sounds ok to talk of change may just be a symbolic gesture as there is no end in sight to the u.s. presence in the country. 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 worth a year of examples are strewn through their decade war familiar aftermath he had any doubt here in the south only now americans heard this declaration before news of the blast we're starting this drawdown from 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's left a different mark democracy never come by a clean ship the moccasin overthrow by military invasion democracy never comes by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by muscle car by bumping our wedding 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 occasions i've always believed pakistan is for show actually what have you noticed 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 as you know the 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 had 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 or thirty nine percent want troops there until the situation is stabilized you can see the trend is really flip flopped but what is the reality of obama's plans for troop withdrawal well 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 following twenty fourteen there will be some kind of continuing presence. presence and financial burden some see as permanent observers believe u.s. bases are in the forever future lorin mr r. t. washington d.c.

. with a u.s. troop withdrawal also underway in iraq the burning question is how much of a military presence is needed. while he's cool about this issue with his guests and cross talk with after the business update with kelly. hello and welcome to a business here and i say thanks for joining me russia is having to face up to its own banking scandal before the heads of russia's third largest lender bank of nascar facing criminal charges after its huge bailout regulators discovered a third of the bank's assets were in bad loans or in a costly as these calls. everything sorted one d.t.b. took over bank of moscow and discovered bad loans worth knowing a billion dollars which is about one third of the bank's assets but this isn't the first time the bank is involved in the scandal the all the one in both the building that you see right next to me which is at the mayor's office and that was because

the former head of the bank of moscow i'm able to do was accused of shady loans to construction companies are run by the warmer mayors right now he has since fled the country and a warrant has been issued for his arrest the bank of still going out getting fourteen billion dollars which is the biggest bailout in russian history it will be given over a ten year period i don't interest rates for the site you know this amount is three times bigger than the capitalization of the bank and it's more than the amount that was given to all of the banks here during the financial crisis process finance minister has since called for a criminal investigation into the bad loans to figure out who was responsible and what happens. and i sent him are also from a just b.c. says the bailout shows the state is expanding not reducing its dominance in the banking sector in accordance with the president's program. state owned and skin you experience from integration bank and so i think one of more and more but give me

a sense notes and there are significant the pension through due diligence before very dubious going to give us hope in this case so sure it's. right for state i mean if you could do for him because so far this would go for help from . now let's take a look at the markets oil has slightly retreated from earlier against the market digests contrasting data from the world's two biggest or consumers on fuel demand prices are being encouraged by european policymakers approving an emergency bailout for greece but soft manufacturing from china and ongoing concerns over europe's debt crisis are keeping traders cautious light sweet is trading at ninety five dollars a barrel brant is a one hundred and eleven dollars a barrel european stock markets edged tire you case footsie is a point six percent an upturn trade and the dax is up over a quarter of a percent this hour drug giant scryer is the top performer on the dax gaining
