those usually behind the camera before photographers were arrested on thursday on suspicion of spying but who was the supposed master at first georgian authorities didn't say who they thought the alleged spies were working for but a day later they did russia in turn moscow has accused georgia of power not a georgians are so quick to stick a spy label on to anyone i guess is just a little of democracy and that has been noticed not just by russia but various key international organizations like the un one of the photographers was released without charge the other three were charged with espionage and will remain in pretrial custody for two months one of them has gone on hunger strike and protest. however georgian president mikheil saakashvili is person to talk but has reportedly made a video confession admitting to spying the russian opposition figures are skeptical

he worked there and read it not only think about it right here and they haven't already enjoyed your prime time where everything that can go back and go i don't know real well we go out there and we never saw any kind of real human creation of the government so 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 ruthless political calculation you. are surely. you are always there is. no democracy human rights because those it. really isn't a russian who's never or used to worry slightly during.

the greasy must know deal with the most serious about occasions spying it has a neighbor with its relations are rock bottom and it has some men in jail but many are questioning whether this is real justice or. promised to. egypt's prime minister has ordered the suspension of police accused of brutality in revolution. on friday thousands of egyptians turned out for peace rally in months it will slow pace of prosecuting officials they also accuse the interim leadership of dragging its feet on promised reforms teasin sonali want to see if he's still alive. 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 like egypt but they try to get there because the people we've spoken to feel like

their revolution has been still there we go through of mobile so the mobile apps that it will ship are still alive and well the taste of freedom was short lived and military is in full power mass media is being choked in a passion still rampant and worse than i think they were and catching activists as much as they are doing now. take them to a prison i guess now they're being reviled they want to kill you wouldn't believe this children in the first place he's known simply as uncle question here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military thought it was all civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is you know one of the major commands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the following regime and the purging of corrupt officials they say their freedom

was short lived and they got rid of mubarak you know their high ranking officials but now egypt in the same way it was before january surprise that little if this is a little mubarak the media rights rather is what they're hiring them for my running the country people like myself have been arguing for taking you to the factories they can hire you to the universities to the work places meaning that in every single workplace we have an egypt that is amenable i know what it was never interested in politics until january she was shot with twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone. and she will. to new to fight to the end i want every every egyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every pro chance to has their own vision of the egypt they're fighting for some want

a constitution and then free elections others think the new laws should follow the vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is not the end . and he's in no way are cheap. and that's to the head for you this hour thrown out of court protesting john rocker luggage ject today from the hague tribunal it's a few runs against humanity. cases one sided. and the final edition of the british tabloid news of the world it's the streets wake up phone hacking allegations and arrests. this week rebels in libya made significant advances battling government forces they say progress on their way to tripoli has been slowed by lack of support from nato germany has agreed to supply munitions probably bounce is continuing its strikes. back the operation and

some suggest that coalition pressure has shifted position. germany joining the nato operation turn out. 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 in this case germany has agreed to provide much needed ammunition previously berlin hundreds from voting in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya a move that surprised some and hurt others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate. 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 france and the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first our. 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 maybe alert gave 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. nato countries. out of the twenty eight need to members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to its 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 and the other by agreeing to supply bombs in 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 even goes carty. for months on end they taze protracted intervention in that area has yet to yield its desired result of accusations of violating human mandates insisting it was off but a humanitarian mission was never hired the coalition's list goes in the region thirteen thousand meters away or missions over a country of six american million people including would need or want some for the knowledge of those five thousand combat missions it's not. you know this is not

simply a question of your preferred to move in civilians from government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term notorious action made oh it'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 enough you understand in libya i think you know we did this for you 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. russia has condemned the nato for its continuing military action in libya foreign minister sergey lavrov said the bombing the country to force kendrick up to step down is a cynical political game with too many civilian lives at stake. nature's 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 muslim opponents can use to much next hour our focus returns the tegan and sara region as r.t. speaks to a syrian politician for his opinions on the best way out of his country's crisis. french a ship that's part of a gaza aid flotilla has been permitted to leave greek waters several movies remain blocked in port and there with a prayer palestinian activist and humanitarian aid but the cable guys are stopped by a group of thought is that it is not activist and try to reach the palestinian territory there don't tell the group that israel blocked hundreds from even boarding planes in europe increased security in israeli airports was waiting for those who tried to break through and several were detained. it's the only extras can successor who will now have to deal with the difficulties of the past struck e.u. this week former french finance minister christine lagarde picked up the i.m.f.

baton and got straight to work approving another charge of money to help greece that is costing for starbucks and what god has inherited. from violence on the streets of the middle east. to protest in north africa to europe. for portugal's credit rating has been deemed junk. in greece. where unemployment hovers at about sixteen percent and the debt crisis has sparked anger uli all of this anger stemming from poverty and failed economic policies in the u.s. as well high unemployment sits atop a mountain of problems like housing prices and slow financial growth. this is the world christine legarde inherits as she begins at her new post as managing director of the international monetary fund in her first formal meeting with the press at

the i.m.f. headquarters in washington she seemed optimistic in her hopes the international monetary fund is here to serve and to provide services to its hundred and eighty seven members if not those that feel as if news stories i'd fill in on the world press conference for the new managing director of the i.m.f. did garner quite a bit of media attention most likely it had less to do with christine lagarde herself and more to do with the reason why she's here. campbell what lessons do you think could be drawn from your way the u.s. legal system and go this route find case we could be any reforms in the human relay and human resources policies here do you plan any changes in them in light of the controversy over this is 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 but back to the i.m.f.

were low guard will take over but yes you have a couple of issues what worries you the most well 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 or low income countries the issue of employment. is a critical one the one hundred eighty seven nation organization has already lent one hundred sixty billion dollars to cash strapped nations many of which have little hope for paying it back. so the real questions are manifested here on the streets of some of the nation suffering the most are accepting aid from the i.m.f. has been presented at times as the only option as austerity measures are now being

put into place the questions too are in the dollar and how its value may or may not change under her watch for managing the debt crisis around the world will fall at the top of her agenda as the rest of the world watches with hope first ability in an unstable world in washington christine frees out our team. and still ahead in our weekly review program younger but with high hopes well it's more of a russian summer camp discuss the future and then lessons from the past. russia has called on nato to cooperate more of a security in russia is meeting with the advance of the black sea resort of sochi also said dialogue on european defense wasn't going as fast as it had been hoped proposed and the missile sharing reigns of lots of issues as russia sees us grants the ploy its rockets in europe as a direct threat to its own security ever present mention of relative frame some

progress was being made the situation in afghanistan is also high on major joint efforts to battle drug trafficking in the country were said to be bearing fruit just a point there are still common view in the campaign libya as concerns remain that the security council's mandate is being overstepped its. britain's best selling newspaper the news of the world saying it's fun farewell to its readers after hundred sixty eight years it was axed by its medium where following the phone hacking scandal public outrage flared this week has claimed that journalists intercepted phone calls from murder victims and dead soldiers families. from recess where docs rest is now lost its longstanding community around britain's prince who leads. i think something changed this week you know for decades british prime ministers have been on their knees to the to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is his main daily newspaper here in britain when the sun

supported a british politician running for prime minister it you know they won it and then you find on the next day you find the prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well the sun got me elected i mean so you've got this good meaning of british democracy is this ng of democracy really which the murdoch press was at the bottom but i think there was a for silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be there they couldn't attack it because of that and i think a line was crossed. a very finely tuned business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called b. sky b. and that decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy i think he felt that as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the whole news international it's a tiny part of or about the political class they've been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to

stand back and say no i can't do it anymore it's going to bag. the former bosnian serb general around him that it is lucky to get a new legal counsel to represent him at the hague war crimes tribunal within days is hearing this week was disrupted by which was escorted out of the courtroom for shouting and interrupting the judge and refusing to enter a plea instead the judge was forced to enter a not guilty plea on his part but on the other is opposed to the little mass killing thousands of bosnian muslims in the balkans war but on the anniversary of the serbian it's a massacre the serbs feel their side of the story isn't being taken into account personal server reports. liquid little town of sydney meets in bosnia-herzegovina looks illich the 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 seventy became infamous when the united nations stated eight thousand muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces today a memorial for the deceased sits in the grounds of a former un military base the servants a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and taurus to get boston and the bosnian capital of. the tourists aren't shown by the thousands of serbian graves that line cemeteries all around us that are being it's a region. thousands of people were killed during the balkan wars of the one nine hundred ninety s. but cemeteries like these were going terra families of murdered serb civilians only get visited by the very few remaining survivors there only comes here all the time his entire family lives here he says a bosnian muslim general is responsible so you know i was only nine years old when

i said already stuck away everything i had and why 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 though gonna survive his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored. each was at the 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 in all sites and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided ingraining this serves the purpose of some. and create

a rationale for so-called humanitarian interventions which. occurred so the. number of circuits that circle 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 it is very important. the creation of. some mario for make sure in the minds of most people. drones which was preventable but for whatever reason so-called international community didn't do anything about it. some might say the journey from simply need such a big ozzie 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 are tea party and herzegovina. well there are more of our stories online at r.t. dot com that's what else is there right now there are widespread deaths and devastation from last center when i started the government claims it's nothing or almost my work instance. and found out why more than eleven million websites are blacklisted. by web search engine google. big business dreams are in the political ambitions are being made reality of russia's politically minded you think gather for a special summer camp that's he's is all over i went to meet some future russian movers and shakers. they're young they're enthusiastic and they want the best set in idyllic surroundings the twenty eleven seliger international youth forum

brings together representatives from seventeen nations to discuss innovation politics and the feature mass media what else they find here is all russian offers a plot for japanese to meet priscilla and talk to the french people right at the same time so for me this kind of concentration of people is ation process is happening throughout the world this is the second year for miss conditionals in florence and those who have come from abroad looking to make contacts with a future here with russia this is a great chance to make. some people also we can meet people from countries all over the world and also. have some ideas about the. mentally the history and. how they how they see the. internal or internet or. it's not all work on the organizes saying they want to

create the atmosphere of an elite some account so alongside discussions in the future the electoral system has more crime in sailing and other activities the site looks more like a music festival than the place you would expect to meet world leaders of tomorrow however those that have come here say that they hope that we contacts they've made while they are here or help them through reach the top of their field in the future alexander is part of the group that is designing a new computer operating system celica gives him the chance to show his productivity henschel investors he's here to drum up cash where started a list somewhere you have had meetings with many investors and establish contacts that were going to use after sam winter is over we expect to get one million euros with facts we're going to commercial firm which will operate across. the world us our services will include system installation consultations specialist training and certification and. it's not just living breathing innovators that draw the crowds.

they might be taped is the future of global business but they do love a robot and when it's a robot with such impeccable taste there's this one you can see why. he's not just here is a crowd pleaser though a university which developed a robot see practical uses for him in education. this robot can replace ill students at school or university to mabel their remote presence upper class and submit their homework tell stories and recite. this way students stay at home but they don't miss their classes as with any festival when it comes to camping there's always someone with a fancy a tent and yours except this one is a chance that some of those attending of ambitions of moving into the real white house one day. arty very cheap. well that's a briefly round out some of today's other international news now world leaders have
