never saw any kind of. human creation government thank you this isn't the first time this has happened last year thirteen people were arrested and accused of being on russia's payroll earlier this week nine of them received sentences of up to fourteen years in prison for the georgian government this is a matter of national security but others in georgia are very critical of what they see as particular groups political calculation you are entire are surely. you are always there and you are. if you want to go. there is no democracy human rights because those it really isn't a russian he's never decided or criticize the worry slightly you're going. to police he must know deal with the most serious about spying it has a neighbor with whom it's relations are at rock bottom and it has some men in jail

but many are questioning whether this is really about justice or about politics. but egypt's prime minister has ordered the suspension of all police accused of brutality during the revolution that toppled the president back on friday thousands of egyptians turned out the biggest rally in months and i'm today with a slow pace of prosecuting officials but also queues the internet leadership of dragging its feet on promised reforms parties and he's on our way went to see if he is still in the life. egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone thousands of people out here on top here they all see different visions of egypt but they join together because the people we've spoken to feel like their revolution has been stolen we go through the books of the mubarak's the ship is still alive and when the taste of freedom was short lived the

military is in full power mass media is being choked and oppression still rampant worse than i think they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now and take them to a prison i guess now they're being treated violent they want to kill with evolution they still that in the first place he's known simply as uncle hostel here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military throws of civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is you know one of the major demands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials they say their freedom was short lived then they got rid of mubarak you know their high ranking officials but now egypt will be the same way it was before january sort of got that little officials a little mubarak's i mean the lorax rather is what they're offering them for

running the country people like myself have been arguing for taking the high you to the factories they can hire you to the universities the king to have to the wood places meaning that in every single word police we have an egypt that is i mean you know what i was never interested in politics in till january she was shot with twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her leg the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone and she will keep. to new to fight to the end i want every every egyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every protester has their own vision of the egypt they're fighting for some want to constitution then free elections others think the new laws should follow their vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is not the end. and he said no way our teeth. to the head few this

are thrown out of court testing of the other two from the. use of crimes against humanity claims the case is one sided. and we find out whether the former i.m.f. chief dominique strauss kahn the presidential hopes are dashed he's facing another trog from. this week rebels in libya made significant advances battling government forces but they say progress on their way to tripoli has been slowed by a lack of support from nato germany has agreed to supply munitions for the arts is continuing its strikes did not originally back the operation some suggest that question has caused a shift in position. the sun has weathered germany joining the nato bombing operation turned out to be a good move. 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 and this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has abstained from voting in favor of the un security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and others but it may now be backing out of its decision the germans may not want to participate by. they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually sublime 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 that 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 other countries but that is normal practice between current the 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 ghost corti. for months on the nato is a protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield its desired result with accusations of violating un mandate persisting political blogger rick ross of the using humanitarian mission was never high on the coalition's list of those in the region. thirteen thousand made away or missions over a country of six and a half million people including what nato itself acknowledges is five thousand combat missions it's not a war. you know this is not simply a question of the are protecting libyan civilians from government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action nato it's the world's only military bloc 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 this feel with you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of the merkel and the treaty organization. russia has condemned in nato for its continuing military action in the foreign minister sergey lavrov said that bombing the country to force colonel gadhafi to step down is a cynical a political game with too many civilian lives at stake when the who would so nato is bombing libya longer that it was bombing yugoslavia several years ago and there is no end in sight it's obvious that politics is a cynical matter we hear from the western capitals that the bombing should go on until gadhafi backs off but the human cost of these political statements is very high in the political used to be there to the focus remains on the table and to our bridge and as r.t.

resources policies here do you plan any changes in them in light of the controversy over mr strauss kahn the controversy of course with dominique strauss kahn accused of raping a hotel maid in new york that case now starting to crumble after it turned out the maid had credibility problems back to the i.m.f. or lagarde will take over then yes you have a couple of issues what worries you the most guarded her best to stay on message we cannot be only driven by the hope to reduce fiscal deficits and organize fiscal consolidation in a big way whether you look at advanced economies or whether you look at emerging markets all income countries the issue of employment. is a critical one the one hundred eighty seven nation organization has already lent

a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists who get boston and the bosnian capital of. what the tourist arm shown are the thousands of serbian graves that lined 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 his best about you know i was only nine years old when the us had already struck away everything i had in light of the 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
