international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. russia and nato have failed to reach a consensus on missile defense plans in europe with the alliance standing firm on its position and 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 is no telling over cuba 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 anti-missile defense shield in europe as long and not going as smoothly as it was expected while seeking a separate class from france secretary general of nato rasmussen has said that nato never promised that those stocks will simply happen overnight explains that the

reason why sectoral and so missile defense shield were 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 such role and say 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 risk remains the will strengthen strategic stability rather than undermine it we would like to have a guarantee that missile defense systems are not angels to russia we're not asking for your lover is going to use you and 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 said 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

a new treaty is what i think we need is practical cooperation and the best the best reassure parents are you sure wish that russia could get would be to cooperate activity we want to see two systems that would exchange information. so make the defense of nato territory and a russian territory effect big part of russia will be covered by that and trying to sell a defense shield and russian president dmitry medvedev believes that that could be a potential reason for another arms race on the sidelines the russian nato council and there was a meeting with the russian president meeting that if. the president of south africa jacob zuma going to present your ideas of how to resolve the conflict in libya you were deprived from the recent summit there with the 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 that's and so what russian foreign minister lavrov had to say we believe that the arms embargo that was introduced by the u.n. security council is straightforward and it is captured this way in the resolution to libya's in charge 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 of russia's and void to nato admitted our voice and said that he fears the unknown grounds operation is just around the corner and if that happens. the situation in the region will severely worsened meanwhile today secretary general rasmussen once again try to reassure everyone that surrounds operation is not in the details

plans. the hague war crimes tribunal has entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of former bosnian serb general community. for interrupting the judge and speaking turn former general lee to complain of having had trouble hearing previously the joint refused to postpone hearing at the request of one of it you threatened to boycott. proceedings were during the legal team given to him by because of the money to choose his own defense annoyance or not it was accused of ordering the mass killing of thousands of bosnian muslims during the balkans war the mortgage companies are of course many serbs feel the international criminal court is only taking on one machine or to conquer the. liquid little town of still be needs in bosnia and herzegovina. you houses are being built people go about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and church sit side by side the disappearance of unity is an illusion sixty years ago the entire region was twenty partly ethnic clashes during the

yugoslav war in seventy two became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and more of the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base the city but it's a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists to get boston in the bosnian capital of. what the tourists are shown are the thousands of serbian graves that ryan 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. comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible so you will you know i was only nine years

old when this their own each took away everything i had in life as we move 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 know that on a survive his loss just like that thousands of people here is being ignored. each 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 ago for. the bloke you are seeing is atrocities visited in all sides and perpetrated by all players the diversion most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in claiming the serves the purpose of. so states and create a rationale for so called humanitarian interventions in the

occurred so the. amount of structure in it so that simple precedent can be traced through the years and into place headlines i see iraq afghanistan and most recently libya of all played on will be hosting nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important and the creation of a scenario for make sure in the minds of most people supper and. which schools program but for whatever reason so-called international community wouldn't do anything about it. so might say the journey from simply such a big guy's e.v.f. baghdad and kabul could now be traced there's a kind of nato road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there is

only one possible destination carriers are the r.t.e. bosnia and herzegovina. and coming up later in the program the animal rescue of a very different kind look at how cattle and pigs by becoming the help of humans the cure for heart disease using a groundbreaking new russian procedure. still to come first barack obama's recently announced afghanistan drawdown plan has been slammed by republicans they say drawing thirty three thousand troops by the end of next summer is too much of a military risk but artie's lauren mr finds out that the talk of change may just be a symbolic gesture there's 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 your. examples are strewn through the nearby decade war until year after now we have any pay down here in the south only now americans heard this declaration before news of the plan 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 completion democracy never tried by military invasion democracies never by cluster bombs by white phosphorous by muscle car by thumping 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 cards of north africa and other organisations i've always believed pakistan is more central to what

happens in a change of 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 while 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 some 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 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. . as the u.s. and nato are trying to complete their campaign in afghanistan this seems to be no win for the new conflict in libya and signed a political blogger an anti nato campaign says. for peace mission. but what it suggests is nato obligations overripe national it's your and concerns national interests international law roger many for whatever reason some wisely certainly from its own or hit the earth to join the breath and nations or russia or china india and brazil in the security council on march seventeenth and abstaining

on you under a solution one thousand seven hundred three however the war is actually on it's a hundred a day right now if i don't all was to characterize thirty thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including with nato itself a knowledge of this five thousand contact missions if it's not a war. you know this is not simply a question of protecting libyan civilians from river the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action and sometimes of aggression the friendliness is on we're making our organization is nothing but you know the prisoner there is. a peacekeeping force because contagion where you know as you know united nations sort of authorization to participate in certain actions since it is described as the term nature of nato it's the world's only military war it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those 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 nature of them are going through the organization. former i.m.f. chief and potential french presidential candidate company strauss kahn is about to face a new sexual assault allegations a french writer who claims he attempted to rape her in two thousand and three has decided to press charges this follows the case of a new york hotel maid who also accused of sexual assault but a case was badly weakened after prosecutors admitted have credibility had been compromised strath khan's fellow socialists fear the new allegation could ruin his chances of running for presidency he might have become the target of a political gain provoked by his popularity both in france and abroad and that's the view of paul craig roberts he's the former assistant treasury secretary under the reagan administration and a former wall street journal editor of the french press has reported that strauss current said before you became known to the united states. he

expected star cozy took a son prince warman a million euros to brain sex charges against him and he said that was because he was leading a sarkozy in the polls to all the tricks presidency and that he stressed time ciro that would be serco zoos 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 bailout banks on the backs of just ordinary people and started questioning that and was meeting in the united states with the economist joseph stiglitz was a big critic of that where you're bailing out and i think he was sending signals that upset the financial community so it may have helped him with ordinary people but kind of made him

about twenty one minutes past the hour here now on the russian capital i'll be back with a recap of our main news stories in nine minutes from now meantime marty talks to a british antiwar activist about his personal attempts to break the blockade of gaza especially to be next to. the world. today i'm talking to dr david how penn who says he's dedicated his life to fighting

for justice in the treatment of others he's boman be opposed to the wars in iraq and afghanistan and in two thousand and three dr helping filled a boat with food and medical supplies and sailed it to gaza selling his own house to pay for it so to help in that voyage was a success and you've made subsequent trips to gaza since then has the situation improved at all. not at all you know that eighty percent of the people live below the poverty line defined as one point six dollars per head per day and fifty percent unemployed a big factor and there is no port so they cannot train goods and. they were building building reports the french was sorry not to understand in about one in two thousand that was one just as the air paul's bomb i think runs into just the start the second thought so you can see that the internment camp can't make

money very easily 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 journeys that are well the most dramatic incident attraction was on the thirtieth of december two thousand and eight when myself and fifteen others who are british master of the movie was trying we were trying to get to gaza on the third day of the bombardment and village so cooperation calls led or better described as operation drive off i complained and we were rendered high speed about sixty six miles off the coast of i fell in the dark five thirty in the morning. x. and insta seize and i'm quite certain that the intention was to drug us your trip to gaza have often been very difficult what is it that motivates you why i don't

like giving up. a dog it isn't the family life we never told lies of our family and to be quality is to tell a lie so that keeps you going it's little known because i can't go back there. in some other way try to exert some influence with words only perhaps. for the people there and for elsewhere. in the world where a mother cannot cradle her baby on her breast in peace and nurture the child until its becomes an adult all over our world we're producing chaos particularly the israeli u.s. and u.k. axis i call it that no question and the people who call the shots are in israel every throw israel is the whole ruddy lot including the rafa cage which is the stance be under the egyptian troll but this is really tell us your gyptian what to

do and it is still happening robust as the palestinians a few days ago told when to get out perhaps for medical treatment with zeros is i don't know what they control it they controlled a lot so we had of creativity going in my wife and i were treated we were treated better than the palestinians i can tell you but it was too very distressing indeed to make a fifteen hundred mile journey have looked valuable stolen a car a port 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 rougher and then to be told you can't go in and be killed after an after hours and coming out they would let us out laura it would they said the journey allows you to enter this thing remembers here in london and it doesn't allow you to go out this is all the nonsense you come across professor gabriela shalev is 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 really whatever happens whether they make a declaration of support of the majority of the agenda simply doesn't mean much anyway it's critical assholes all rules wrongly and i view that if they declare that they'll find some other words will mention them to be proud blunt 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 at 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 everyone in the naming of over two million blair straw or whom i'm campbell this is the cabinet as

example call themselves they should be at the hague now behind bars while serious and the evidence when to rely on a trial and the same happens not just seems to come in the house on the television monitor and he will be held responsible and what has happened is talking about upping the ante things like there needs killing more civilian job up to a not accurate and using massive weapons things like the. one son one son this is sixty plus years from the second world war and the nuremberg principles is unbelievable and you hear reviews you're talking about an even tones this is all very ordinary do you think that britain's reputation for press freedom is not at all the printed media i don't use to sport the morning star they have certain things that resign so not sure if it's like a high with. the television you can see is that something you. would so much you're

trying for i used to watch i think it's you know we are here with or six sucks for over loud and we're somewhere that couldn't win here and in the bottom actually. saves help and thank you very much. if. any please please please please. me please please. please.

touch or is that so much different in their speech because it is their final mark latham israel starts its military withdrawal from iraq what does faith hold for the kurds and if the kurds strive towards an independent state what is. fifty. fifty split fifty fifty fifty .
