i know real well we go out there and we never saw any kind of real 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 group political calculation you are entire are surely. you are always very you are. if you want to go. there is no democracy human rights because all that really isn't a russian is never just or that this is a very slight way you're going to. tbilisi must know deal with the most serious about spying it has

a neighbor with whom its relations are at rock bottom and it has some men in jail but many are questioning whether this is really justice or. egypt's prime minister has ordered the suspension of all police accused of brutality to revolution that toppled president barack on friday thousands of egyptians turned out the biggest rally in months with a slow pace of prosecuting officials and also the interim leadership of dragging its feet on promised reforms and he went to see if the barracks 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 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 read in violence they want to kill with evolution they still that in the first place he's known simply as uncle hostile 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 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 and they got rid of mubarak you know their high ranking officials but now egypt in the same way it was before january sort of got that little official little mubarak so many new dark strother is what they're calling them for running

the country people like myself have been arguing for taking the high you to the factories taking the higher you to the universities taking the have to the wood places meaning that in every single wood place we have an egypt that is amenable now water 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. i will continue 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 the vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is

not the end. and he said no way are cheap. but are still ahead for you this hour in the program the mission to save the world's economy starts with greece countries paralyzed by a system is at the top of christine lagarde to do list she sets out her stall as the chief of the international monetary. fund thrown out of courts have protests in general rock of love it is the jacketed from the paid tribute to his accused of crimes against humanity. sixteen people have been killed in a file in an old people's home in ukraine two fabricates five hours to extinguish the flames in a small village in the country's northwest and managed to rescue eleven people who needed hospital treatment for severe smoke inhalation three of them are in intensive care the blaze completely destroyed the roof of the building and much of its wooden construction police say was not started deliberately. 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 while germany has agreed to supply munitions for the alliance is continuing airstrikes wellin did not originally back the operation and some suggest that coalition pressure has caused a shift in position to really decide whether germany joining the nato bombing operation will turn out to be a good move. for 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 sales to drop where there is demand there is supply in 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 good others but it may now be backing out of

a decision the germans may not want to participate but they have decided that 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 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 to other

countries but that is normal practice between current 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 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 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 it in it goes quite. well for months on end they tell us protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield this desired result in accusations

persisting the un mandate has been violated to franklin lamb an activist from the americans concerned for middle east peace group says nato airstrikes are only uniting people behind. the bombing needlessly puts the population on edge it increases anxiety and anger if they do is trying to weaken the regime it seems to me that as history teaches us would be a bomb a population it's 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 ruses if nato loses 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 cut off some of the circle of order 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 continuing military action in libya foreign minister sergei lavrov said bombing the country to force colonel gadhafi to step down is a cynical political game with too many civilian lives at stake. later 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. and in the next hour after returns to the turbulent arab regions r.t. speaks to a syrian 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 after hundred sixty eight years the paper was axed by its media mogul following the phone hacking scandal public outrage flared this week as claims emerged that journalists intercepted phone calls to murder victims and dead soldiers families. mr reese 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 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 ministership you know they won it and then

you find on 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 the missing of democracy really which the murdoch press was at the heart of but i think it was a for a silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because of that and i think a line was crossed rupert murdoch has 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 the 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 caste 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 going to bad. a fresh sex case against the former international monetary fund chief hasn't made it to court for a preliminary hearing a french writer claims dominique strauss kahn attempted to rape back in two thousand and three and she conducted an interview with him. on his constant battle of the sex charges of assaulting a. hotel maid ok she's forced him to resign his post has since been freed from house arrest and the probability that it was questioned. by the investigation and immigration officials before becoming modern scandal strauss cano singles and leading french socialist party contender set to run next year's presidential election former u.s. assistant treasury secretary paul craig roberts believes the case against nothing is settled. the french press has reported that strauss kahn said before he ever came to the united states. that he expected sarkozy

to pay some french woman million euros to brain sex charges against him and he said that was because he was leading the sarkozy in the polls for the french presidency and that he stressed crime said that would be sarkozy'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 he 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 kind of made him

a target for. the establishment. when a stone age strauss kahn successor who will now have to do the difficulties of the cash strapped e.u. and the world's economic problems at large this week former french finance minister christine the god picked up the army baton and got straight to work approving another tranche of money to help greece christine looks at what the god has inherited. from violence on the streets of the middle east. to protest in north africa to europe. portugal's credit rating has been deemed junk. and in greece. where 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 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 it's 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 less to do with christine lagarde herself and more to do with the reason why she's here. campbell what lessons do you think ought to be drawn from the way the u.s. legal system handled this case we don't be any reforms in the human rights and human 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 but 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 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 for south r.t. . and as the i.m.f. and the e.u. gather funds for crippled greece is portugal which could now need a second bailout its government bonds were this week classified as junk the top credit ratings agency comes as germany use biggest economy debates the very legality of the bailouts but writer and editor patrick young says rating agencies should have downgraded weak euro zone members much of the time it was too possible

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 ratings against the european union suddenly the finance ministers such as mr shaw are saying that oh these are discreet small 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 and the debt problems of the european union not their being almost right and suddenly the politicians want to shut them up no realistically i think the question the ratings agencies must ask themselves because they were faulty or was why they didn't give better ratings a couple of years ago when it was absolutely clear to a large number of us that the european union had really significant problems and they were caught up in the way of the euro 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. now there are more of our stories online at r.t. dot com and that's a look at what else is there right now. reports of widespread deaths and devastation from blasts in turkmenistan the government gets almost violent incident . and find out why are more than eleven million websites blacklisted by time have said. the former bosnian serb general ratko blood it is lucky to get a new legal counsel to represent him at the hague war crimes tribunals within days he's hearing this week was disrupted when that which was a squad of out of the courtroom for shouting into judge refusing to enter a plea instead the judge was forced to. be on his behalf. accused of ordering the

mass killing of thousands of new muslims jews in the balkans war on the verse of the srebrenica massacre many serbs feel this side of the story isn't being taken into account as well as our ports. liquid little town of sibling meets in bosnia and herzegovina who looks at daily 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 several needs 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 sort of thing it's a memorial ground as well maintained and frequently visited by locals journalists and tourists who get boston from the bosnian capital of. what the tourist aren't

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 so he you know i was only nine years old when this had already struck away everything i had and why have you 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 but on a survive his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored it 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 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 the purpose of that is to set the stage and create a rationale for sore called humanitarian interventions which in the occurred in considerable number and the math in it so that so-called 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 in the creation of the.

scenario to make sure that in the minds of most people. was drawn aside which was preventable but for whatever reasons the so-called international community didn't do anything about it. sin might say the journey from sibling needs it to benghazi 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. castros are about r t bosnia and herzegovina. but briefly round up some of today's other international news the australian government is to force the country's worst five hundred polluters to paid cash for the carbon dioxide they give off missions would be taxed at twenty five u.s. dollars per metric ton from next year the money race will be used to compensate households it with high energy bills the street is one of the world's worst

. germany has agreed to supply nato forces in libya with new missions for the continuing u.s. strikes inside a shift from its original position of the incident zone to pressure from on the announcement. well the next we'll take a look at how could it stone has read for twenty years without the union as a country remains largely dependent on agriculture there's rampant unemployment and political instability. kurdistan the central asian country and former soviet republic. in the space of just five years this state has gone through two revolutions the country is divided into two parts both by the mountains and by the unresolved conflict between the developed north and i call cultural south.

kurdistan overcome its political and ethnic standoff could there be a repetition of spontaneous riots involving a mass loss of life. and . tucked away in the mountains one hundred fifty kilometers from the capital bishkek is a village of actors at best only six hundred villagers are left here now. but when kurdistan was part of the soviet union people from all over the republic were eager to come here. with the word that these are mine don't use the or was taken from them in the open pit heavy duty bellows trucks are brought in from there as you can see the roads are still here in soviet terms they produce three hundred tons a day their time.
