international news and comment live from moscow this is. russia or nato failed to reach a consensus on missile defense plans in europe with the unarmed standing firm on its position nato says it's against a joint anti missile shield and doesn't find it necessary to provide russia with legal guarantees that the shield won't be directed against it what does that tell you not about has more from russia city of sochi where the talks have now drawn to a close. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov described talks on a missile defense shield in europe as long and not going as smoothly as it was expected while speaking here separate press conference secretary general of nato rasmussen has never promised that those talks will simply happen overnight explains that the reason why our sectoral anti-missile defense shield for
1:02 pm
participation of russia is impossible is because nato cannot delegate the security of nato countries to a third party russian foreign minister sergei lavrov but if a sexual anti-missile defense shield is not a possible option and perhaps there are other ones. we would like to reach an agreement which would allow us to work together without any additional risks that will strengthen strategic stability rather than undermine it we would like to have a guarantee that missile defense systems are not aimed against russia we're not asking for unilateral guarantees we would like all the members of the russian legal council to agree that missile defense will not pose any threats to the security of any of the participants. three general rasmussen has certain that he sees no need of such a proof and once again try to ensure that i am d. in here not going to be a threat to russia personally i don't think we need new treaty is what i think we
1:03 pm
need is practical cooperation and the best the best reassure guarantee if you so wish that russia could get would be to cooperate actively we want to see two systems that would exchange information. to make that defense of nato territory and or russian territory effective they pried off of russia will be covered by that and famous our defense shield and russian president's initiative believes that that could be a potential reason for an arms race on the sidelines of the russian nato council and there was the meeting with the russian president's meeting with a very different and the president of south africa jacob zuma came to present new ideas on how to resolve the conflict in their ideas were deprived from the recent summit of the african union and he was here speaking on behalf of the union how
1:04 pm
their ideas were heard out but 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 and you just can't use this way in the resolution it applies to libya's entire territory therefore any arms supplies are violating this resolution as well as any attempts to send military instructors into libya to deliver military knowledge and know how all of these cases are covered by the arms embargo and this is our position and speaking of out of this meeting russia's and void to nato where there are voices that said that he fears that no one ground operation is just around the corner and if that happens. the situation in the region and will severely be worsened i mean while today secretary general rasmussen once again try to reassure everyone that's ground
1:05 pm
operation is not in ages plans. with civilian casualties mounting gadhafi still in power no end to the conflict inside nato has hit yet another problem a crippling shortage of munitions hundreds of people to germany which has previously resisted getting involved in the conflict to chip in. these are really going to go discover a very super league but all too happy 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 sales to drop where there is demand there is the why in this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition variously berlin house of pain from voting in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya and moved out surprised some and angered others but it may now be backing out of
1:06 pm
a decision the germans will not want to participate but are they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually some 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 delivering these arms to
1:07 pm
other countries but that is normal practice between going to be nato countries. out of the twenty eight nato members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to its needle recently admitted to a shortage of weapons in the everleigh a small market duffy's 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 it by trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing no one it isn't goes quality. for months on nato's protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield the desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its un mandate but
1:08 pm
a peace mission was never high on the coalition's priority list that's according to political blogger rick ross off. and what it suggests is that nato obligations override national security concerns national interests international law for our german a for whatever reason why it is only certain from its own forgive the earth enjoying the earth the nations russia or china india and brazil in the security council on march seventh came from abstaining on you under a solution in one thousand seven hundred three however the war is actually going it's a hundred a day very i don't know how as to characterize the thirty thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including with nato it sounds like knowledge it's five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know this is not simply a question of you are protecting libyan civilians from over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action it's amount of aggression the funding this is
1:09 pm
only we're making our organization it is nothing but you know the presented as. a peacekeeping force because location where you know as you are united nations for authorization to participate in certain actions is to disguise the true nature of nato it's the world's only military or if it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those in afghanistan in a movie or i think you know we can do this for you you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused of what the nature of the miracle are the three organization. nato has deployed commando units and they get to get rid of colonel gadhafi well that's the claim from one of the sons as comes off to another son saif gadhafi spoke exclusively to on t.v. saying he believes you know once once only to faced only because richard's. piece country is a piece of cake rich and of guys buoyant and we have more than one hundred billion
1:10 pm

1:13 pm
the tribunal only gave him two years in prison. the balkan war so he miss atrocities visited in all sites and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in blaming the serbs. and create a rationale for so called humanitarian interventions and occurred in. the mouth of serpents that so-called president can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have gold plated unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important. the creation of the. scenario for make sure the mindful people. was
