allegations under arrests. surprise new turn germany is now willing to provide missions for nato forces in libya in direct contrast to its original position only to mention that speculation is being pressured by other announcement this. broadcasting around the world and around the clock and says r.t. and our weekly news if you welcome. its latest quicken data case georgia has accused three photojournalists of working for the russian secret services a group that includes president saakashvili a person photographer was netted on thursday and charged with spying for a foreign state two days later to basic pointed the finger at moscow but it's dumbarton reports many see it as a witch hunt. georgia is on

a spy role and not for the first time this time the spotlight's been shined on those usually behind the camera for photographers were arrested on thursday on suspicion of spying but who was the supposed muster but first georgian authorities didn't say who they thought the lead spies were working for but it a later they did russia in moscow has accused georgia of paranoia the georgians are so quick to stick a spy label on to anyone i guess is just a level of democracy and it has been noticed not just by russia but various key international organizations like the un was 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 in protest. however georgian president mikheil saakashvili is person to talk with but has reportedly made

a video question admitting to spying for russia opposition figures are skeptical he worked there and recognize there are looking now actually quite a few and they haven't read it check out enjoy your prime time we're receiving and go. i don't know we'll go out and we never saw any kind of real human patients 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 taking. political calculation if you are or are certainly. you are. you are. you are. no.

words because all that really isn't a russian who's never. likely. to greasy must no deal with the most serious allegations of spying it has a neighbor with its relations are at rock bottom and it has some men in jail but many are questioning whether this is real justice or. somebody. needs it prime minister has ordered the suspension of all police accused of brutality to the revolution that toppled president barack friday thousands of egyptians turned out the biggest rally in months the slow pace of prosecuting officials also accuse the interim leadership of dragging its feet on promised reforms he's went to see if that works legacy is 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 say different visions of egypt big joined together because the people we've spoken to feel like their revolution has been stolen we go through the books of a box that it was shipped as the time when the taste of freedom was short lived in military use and 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. to a prison i guess now they're being read by the want to kill with this bullet in the first place he's known simply as hostile here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military troyer civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is you know one of the major demands were 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 and they got rid of mubarak you know other high ranking officials but now egypt is the same way it was before january sort of got that little official little mubarak so many remarks out there is what you're hearing them are running the country people like myself have been arguing for thinking of the fact that they can or you can be universally speaking to the world he says meaning that in every single word police we have an egypt that is amenable now it 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 like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone. and she will be. ten you just 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 then free elections others think the new law should follow their 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 kyra. still ahead for you this hour on the program the mission to save the world's economy starts with greece countries paralyzed by a system is on top of christine lagarde to do list she said south a strong international monetary fund. and thrown out of courts have protests in general recommend that it is the jacketed from the paid tribute to his accused of crimes against humanity. sixteen people have been killed in a foreign old people's home in ukraine it's on fire against five hours to extinguish the flames in a small village in the country's north west and managed to rescue levon people who

needed hospital treatment and severe smoke inhalation three of them are in intensive care the place completely destroyed the roof of the building and much of its wooden construction police say was not started deliberately. well this week rebels in libya made significant advances battling government forces but they say progress on their way to tripoli has been slowed by the lack of support from nato. germany has agreed to supply munitions for the alliance is continuing yes well indeed not eventually the operation some suggest that coalition pressure has caused a shift in position towards the south as with germany joining the nato bombing operation turn out. more bombs wanted just over one hundred days of air strikes 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 that why and this is the only has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has of from going in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya and move that surprised and angered others but it may now be backing out of it this isn't the germans may not want to participate but are they have decided the position does not preclude them actually supplying 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 hand. 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're under pressure to do

something to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be lured by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid. for the living in these two other countries with that is normal practice between. 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 call ition 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 only being 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 are goes corti. well for months on a nato as protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield its desired result but accusations persisting the un mandate has been violated so franklin lamb an activist from the americans concern for middle east peace group says it isn't strikes only uniting people behind gadhafi. the bombing needlessly puts the population on edge it increases anxiety and anger if they that was trying to weaken the regime it seems to me that as history teaches us when you have bombed the population it is often the unite behind the government of the day and rather than breaking the connection between the people and the leadership it seems to increase it was a mistake obama election may be on the line cannot afford a defeat and the victory comes like it's supposed to be as it is saddam and osama

you've got to kill the bad guy so it looks to us like it's now a game of targeting the leadership otherwise nato loses if nato ruses the consequences are enormous there's enormous trillion dollar financial consequences for those members of the nato countries who are seen as aggressors and invaders here so the feeling is that they've got to do something the only thing they can do possibly to achieve a victory is either assassinate khadafi and some of his circle ordered to end to do that they might have to come on the ground nato has joined the side of promoting the rebels against the government again a clear violation of nine hundred seventy three. russia has condemned nato for its continued military action in libya foreign minister sergei lavrov said bombing mukherjee force colonel gadhafi to step down as a cynical political game with too many civilian lives at stake.

nature is bombing libya longer that it was gone in 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. to me and our focus returns to the turbulent arab region as r.t. speaks to a syrian a politician for his views on the best way out of his country's crisis. now britain's best selling newspaper the news of the world is saying its final farewell to its readers of one hundred sixty years the paper was axed by its media mogul area when the phone hacking scandal public outrage there this week as claims about journalists intercepted phone calls to move the victims dead soldiers analyst. mr aris says rupert murdoch has now lost his long standing immunity among britain's political elite. i think something changed this week you know for decades

british prime ministers have been only needs to get 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 you know they won it and then you find in the next day you find that prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well the sun got me elected i mean so you've got this the meaning of british democracy is that missing of democracy really which the murdoch press was a backdoor to but i think there was a for silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because the back and i think a line was crossed rupert murdoch has a very finely cue business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called the sky b. 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 already a political cast who'd 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 gone too bad. a fresh sex case against the former international monetary fund chief has made it's a cause for a preliminary hearing a french writer claims dominique strauss kahn attempted to rape her back in two thousand and three she conducted an interview with him and strauss kahn is currently battling other sex charges of assaulting. tell me patients are lost and to resign his post has since been freed from house arrest and using his question and she lied to investigators and he gratian officials for becoming mired in scandal star carlos singh's a leading socialist party contender to run in next year's presidential election

former you. yes assistant treasury secretary well craig roberts but he's the case against us in the sense of. the french press has reported and it's strauss current said before you became to the united states. that he expected star cozy took a some french woman a million euros to bring sex charges against. him and he said that was because he was leading a sarkozy in the polls for the cringe presidency and that he'd stress crimes here that would be serco zoo's response and the french press has taken a serious i think he got in trouble because he began questioning the i am mouse use of its power to force the cost of the bailout of the banks onto the backs of just ordinary people and started questioning that he was meeting in the united states

with the economist joseph stiglitz who was a big critic of that way of bailing out the banks and i think he was sending signals that upset the financial community so it may have helped him with ordinary people but it can have made him a target for. the establishment. concepts that he will now have to deal with difficulties in the castro. and the world's economic problems large this week former french finance minister christine that god picked up the line a baton got straight to work approving another charge of money to help greece. can sting for what god has inherited. i from violence on the streets of the middle east both. here to protest in north africa to europe. portugal's credit rating has been deemed junk. and in greece the

over unemployment hovers at about sixteen percent and the debt crisis has sparked anger nearly all of this anger stemming from poverty and failed economic policies in the us as well high unemployment sits atop a mountain of problems like a housing crisis and slow financial growth. this is the world christine legarde inherits as she begins her new post as managing director at the international monetary fund and 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 the sexiest of news stories but still the inaugural press conference for the new managing director of the i.m.f. did garner quite a bit of media attention most likely it had left to deal with christine lagarde

herself and more to do with the reason why she's here. campbell what lessons do you think are to be drawn from the way the u.s. legal system can go this time case will be any reforms in the human rights and human resources policies here you play in any changes and 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. or look art will take over let me ask you about 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 all 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 her 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 freeze out r.c. . but as the i.m.f. for the e.u. got a funds for crippled greece it's portugal which could now need

a second bailout and government bonds are this week classified as junk total credit ratings agency comes as germany biggest economy abates the very legality of bailouts but writer and editor patrick young says the rating agencies should have downgraded weak euro zone members much earlier a time when it was impossible to find a solution. the european union to three years ago said the problem with credit ratings were that their their ratings couldn't be trusted then all of a sudden when they actually come up with plausible reason to use against the european union suddenly the finance ministers such as mr shaw of law are saying that all these are discreet companies because actually they're trying to get at the truth but actually one of the biggest things that they got wrong was the fact that they weren't being pragmatic enough when it came to the debt under debt problems of the european union not their being on the streets and suddenly the politicians want to shut them up realistically i think the question the ratings agencies must ask themselves because they were at fault here it was widely it didn't get better

a couple of years ago when it was absolutely clear to a large number of us that the european union how did really significant problem how they were caught up in the wave of your real euphoria that was going on at that stage and actually the e.u. itself has been dragging its feet for months over problems in portugal and greece and the difficulty therefore is that the e.u. hasn't acted fast enough and hasn't tried to cure the situation. rather more of our stories online of our time dot com let's look at what else is there right now. reports of widespread deaths and devastation from the blasts and to administer the government to its promise finally kids. and find out why more than eleven million websites have backlist that have said google. the former bosnian serb general rock of that it is likely to get a new legal counsel to represent him at the hague war crimes tribunals in days he's

hearing this week was disrupted when he was ordered out of the courtroom shouting into a single charge and using to enter a plea instead charges. are back and added she is accused of ordering the mass killing of thousands of thousands them as you know more. than it's a massacre many serbs feel this side of the story isn't being taken into account at your service ports. the quiet little town of hebron meets in bosnia and herzegovina looks at village you houses are being built people go about their business and in the center of the town a mosque and a 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 on the grounds of a former un military base as the banks a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists get boston and the bosnian capital of. the tourist arm shown are the thousands of serbian graves that lined cemeteries all around the stepping 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. but you know i was only nine years old when. everything i had in life the first to kill my mother and 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 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 in prison. the balkan war so he missed atrocities visited an all sides and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in blaming the serbs. so the create a russian role for so called humanitarian interventions which. occurred in considerable number. of circumstances that so called precedent can be

traced through the years into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently did libya have all played only host to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important for. the creation of the. scenario from a tour in the minds of most people. was on the side which was preventable but for whatever reasons. international community didn't do anything about it. some might say the journey from sibling made such a big azealia baghdad and kabul could now be traced as a kind of nato road map but as with any road paved with good intentions there's only one possible destination carriers are the r.t.e. bosnia and herzegovina. that's a briefly round up some of today's other international news the australian
