internationalising comment live from moscow this is r.t. russia and nato are failed to reach a consensus on missile defense plans in europe with the alliance 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 a legal guarantees that the shield won't be directed against it. in africa has more now from russia city of sochi where the talks have now drawn to a close. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov described talks on the missile defense shield in europe as long and not going as smoothly as it was expected while speaking at a separate class conference secretary general of nato rasmussen has said that nato never promised that those talks will simply happen overnight explains that the

reason why a sectoral and so missile defense shield her participation of russia is impossible is because nato cannot delegate the security of nato countries to a third party russian foreign minister said that if a such role and say missile defense shield is not 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 result offensive things are not aimed against russia we're not asking for unilateral we would like all the members of the russian legal council to agree that missile defense will not pose any threat to the security of any of the participants. in general rasmussen has found he sees no need of such a proof and once again we try to ensure that i am de in here not going to be

a threat to russia personally i don't think we need a new treaty is what i think we need is practical cooperation and the best the best reassurance guarantee if you so wish that russia could get would be to cooperate actively we want to see talks systems that would exchange information to make the defense of nato territory and our russian territory more effect. i think part of russia will be covered by that country missile defense shield and russian president's meeting with creative believes that that could be a potential reason for another arms race on the sidelines of the nato council and there was no need to defend the russian president's need to me to be different the president of south africa jacob zuma going to prison and your ideas of how to resolve the conflict in libya you were deprived from the recent summit of the

african union and he was here speaking on behalf of the union that their ideas were her doubts but it seems that russia and nato 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 it is captured this way in the resolution it applies to libya's in charge 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 these cases are covered by the arms embargo and this is our position and speaking of hair of this meeting of russia's and boy to nato be the right words and said that he fears the unknown ground operation is just around the corner and if that happens the situation in the region will severely be worse and meanwhile today secretary general rasmussen once again

try to reassure everyone that surrounds operation is not in the interest plans. with civilian casualties mounting gadhafi still in power no went to the conflict inside nato has yet another problem a crippling shortage of munitions has appealed to germany which has previously resisted getting involved in the conflict to chip in he's really going to school discovered that all those who believe all happy to get on board know 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 in libya the mission has run into an expected problem a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there is supply and 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 heard 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 subsequent weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states presence in the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first hand 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 simple financial gain its of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany it will get paid for delivering these to other

countries but that is normal practice between countries even in nato countries. out of the twenty eight nato members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which neither recently admitted to a shortage of weapons in the everleigh a small market duffy still at the helm a correlation maybe facing just the beginning of its problems. is in a tough spot on the one hand it has. disappointed nato by refusing to support the mission only the 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 if you go score eighty. four months on nato as protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield the desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its un mandate but

a peace mission was never high on the coalition's priority list that's according to political blogger rick ross off. but what it suggests nato obligations override national security and servants national interests international law for germany for whatever reason some law is always certainly from its own for a good deal of joining the bric nations or russia or china or india or brazil in the security council on march seventeenth and abstaining on the one resolution one thousand seven hundred three however the war is actually on it's a hundred a day right now in iraq was to characterize the thirty thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including what nato itself or the knowledge of those five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know he did it this is not simply a question of the are protecting libyan civilians from the over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action of some kind to do are simply means and they

were making off their organization is nothing but that you know the president was. a peacekeeping force sort of interest book asian leaders united nations search for the authorization to participate in sort of national service from inception described as the true nature of millet's the world's only military or 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 minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the true nature of them are but i think through the organization. nato has deployed commando units in libya to get rid of kind of a half a that's the claim from one of the sons this comes off to another son saif gadhafi spoke exclusively to on t.v. saying he's you know anita faced only because rich in. these countries he's a piece of cake rich. poyan and he had about one hundred million

dollars because that's a road toll we have to show and that's why. i do have to get. because this is the only ground between. us and the state it's as simple as that. check out the full version of this exclusive interview on our website at all to see. the hague war crimes tribunal has entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former bosnian serb general recommend outage and hughes was ordered out of the court for interrupting the charge 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 not a true threat to boycott proceedings the church has a legal team given to the morning to choose its own defense and it is accused of being the mass killing of felons opposed to muslims which during. his country has our report when he feels an international community is that he taking sides in the

decided to press charges it's part of the case of a new york hotel maid who also accused transcon of sexual assault the case was badly weakened after prosecutors admitted her credibility of being compromised comes from that socialist fear the new allegation could ruin his chances of running for presidency not to become the target of a political gain provoked by his popularity both in france and the broader that's a view of paul craig roberts the former assistant treasury secretary under the reagan administration and a former all street journal at. the french press has recorded that strauss current said before he ever came to the united states. he expected star cosey it took a some french woman a million euros to grey sex charges against him and he said that was because he was leading a sort cosy and the colts to all the tricks present him that he stress

crime series that would be a circus whose response and french press has taken a serious i think he got in trouble because he began questioning the arabs use of its power to force the cost of the bail out banks on the backs of just ordinary people and story questioning that i was reading in the united states with the economist joseph stiglitz who's a big critic of that where you are bailing out and i think he was sending signals that upset. financial community so it may have helped it with ordinary people i've. made it clear i would do it for. the record bombers recently announced afghanistan drawdown plan is being slammed by republicans they say withdrawing thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer is too much of a minute for a risk but artie's lawrence that finds out that the talk of change may just be a symbolic gesture as there is no end in sight to the u.s.

washington talk of winding down war in one country does not line 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 central to 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 about ghana stand 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 now that thirty three thousand he is 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 nine hundred 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 burdens some see as permanent observers believe u.s. bases are in the forever future lauren mr r.t. washington d.c. insufficient medical help cause the birth of. two thousand and nine and was detained by authorities at the time that's according to russia's investigative committee which having no finished analyzing the additional medical evidence claimed the prison staff involved will face trial. the

that's not a quick look at some other international news in the world of think tonans first female prime minister elect in look at what has already announced plans to form a new five party coalition government this comes off the deep fried party women and slide in sunday's general election taking a clear poll of entry majority a forty four year old is the sister of the country's else to pm paxson shinawatra toppled in an early coupe five years ago. opposition activists in syria say security forces are raiding houses and detaining people in the central city of hama which was the scene of a massive protest over the weekend at least twenty have been injured in monday's pipe down with tanks that poured on the outskirts of the front office and this just days after three hundred thousand protesters in hama held the largest demonstration against syrian leadership since the uprising in iraq the demand for people who was late sacked for reportedly failing to suppress the constraint. let brings up state for the moment i'll be back with a summary of our many stories about eight minutes from now in the meantime we talk

to a british antiwar activist about his personal attempts to break the blockade of gaza that's our exclusive interview next. today i'm talking to dr david how pain who says he's dedicated his life to fighting for justice in the treatment of others he's very mentally opposed to the wars in iraq and afghanistan and in two thousand and three talked to help in filled with

food and medical supplies and sailed it girls are selling his own house to pay for it to help in that voyage was a success and you've made subsequent trips to gaza since then has the situation improved at all. little you know that eight percent of the people live below the poverty line to find as one point six dollars per head per day and fifty percent are unemployed but the infection there is no pause so they cannot change goods and. they were burning building of course the french with saudi money on the stand in about and in two thousand that was bombed just as the airport was bombed i think runs into just stop a second thought or so you can see that the in thurmont camp can't make money very easily or live very ingenious and they are very industrious you've tried to help the people of gaza in a variety of different ways and particularly more recently have been met with

official stonewalling and in some cases violence tell me about your journey. well the most dramatic incident attraction was on the thirtieth of december two thousand and eight when myself and fifteen others with a british master of the motor yacht was trying we were trying to get to gaza on the third day of the a bomb barge and invasion so-called operation cast lead or better described as operation drive off i can explain and we were rendered high speed about sixty six miles off the coast of ifa in the dark five thirty in the morning. and in still seas and i'm quite certain that the intention was to drown us your testicles i have often been very difficult what is it that motivates you i don't like giving up really doggedness in the family of we never told lies of family and

quality is to tell a lie so that keeps you going it's little because i can't get back there at all in some other way try to exert some influence with words only perhaps. for the people and for elsewhere. in the world where a mother cannot cradle her baby on her breast in peace and nurture the child until it's becomes an adult all over our world we're producing chaos particularly the israeli u.s. and u.k. axis i call it that there's no question and the people who call the shots are in israel every syndrome as real as the whole ruddy lot including the rough of the cage which is the stance but under the age of should control it it's israelis who tell us live gyptian what from the and it's still happening robustly as the palestinians three days ago i'm told when they get out pass

a medical treatment and see relatives i don't know what they control that they control a lot so we had of great is really going in my wife and i were treated we were treated better than the palestinian but tell you that it was still very distressing indeed to make a fifteen hundred mar journey have. valuable so than a car airport i'm fairly certain that was commissioned it wasn't just a chance theft if you know what i mean and then a five hour car journey at speed to russia and then tribute told you can't go in and be killed if it were not ours and coming out they would let us out laura it would only allows you to enter this thing from embassy in london and it doesn't allow you to go out this is utter nonsense and come across professor gabriela shalev his the former israeli ambassador to the u.n. says that palestinians have nothing to gain from a un resolution that recognizes a palestinian state what's your reaction to that well i think there's a lot of words that really whatever happens whether they make

a declaration with the support of the majority of the general assembly which doesn't need much anyway security council holds all rules probably in my view but if they declare that they'll find some other word will mention them to be quite damp about it i believe in speaking the truth about this war because we're dealing with people being tormented for sixty three years. we now know with certainty that nato is killing civilians in libya including children as a consequence of its operations british forces are involved who's accountable and he's responsible the people who are accountable first and foremost are the leaders and this is why for the destruction of iraq and over one million people the meaning of over two million blair and straw or and who can gamble this is a cabinet has a double call themselves they should be at the hague now behind bars whilst assemble the evidence into a very long actually and the same happens now i do see mr cameron in the house on

the television monitor here and he will be held and sponsors and what has happened is talking about upping the ante things like that he needs killing more civilian job of not accurate and using massive weapons things like the. one ton one ton this is sixty plus shoes from the second world war and then you go principles is unbelievable and you hear the b.b.c. talking about i don't even tones this is all very ordinary but do you think that britain has reputation for press freedom it's not until the printing media i don't really thought i'd use to support morningstar but they have a certain amount of the presiding stuff not direct answer but that the home i with the pension the television b.b.c. is absolute. i would so much a channel for other trades to watch it i think it's we are in there with those or
