and last year thirteen people 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 into iraq surely. you are already. you are. you are. no. words because. a russian who's never or who's put this is the worst life. to police he must know deal with the most serious about a geisha 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 about justice or about politics tom

bottom ninety. age of prime minister has ordered a suspension of all police accused of brutality during the revolution that toppled president mubarak on friday thousands of egyptians turned out for the biggest rally in months i'm going to with a slow pace of prosecuting officials and they also accuse the interim leadership of dragging its feet on promised reforms and he said now i went to see if mubarak's 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 things into egypt but they join together because the people we've spoken to feel like their revolution has been still there we go through the. dictatorship of a lifetime 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 before i thought . they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now and take them to

prison and i guess now they're being greedy violence they want to kill that evolution this still that in the first place he's known simply as uncle horst i'm here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military throws off 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 got rid of mubarak you know their high ranking officials but now egypt will be the same way it was before january so a lot of that little officials a little mubarak so many new marks rather than what they're telling them are running the country people like myself have been arguing for taking the high you to the factories taking the high you to the universities taking the have to the world 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 like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone and she will continue to fight till 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 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 it and he said no way r t cairo. still ahead for you this hour the mission to save the world's economy starts with greece bigotries paralyzed finance system is at the top of crew. gars to do list as she

sets out her stall as the new chief of the international monetary fund. thrown out of court protesting general vatican love issues a directive from the hague tribunal where he's accused of crimes against humanity. sixteen people have been killed in a fire in an old people's home in ukraine it took five brigades five hours to extinguish the flames in that small village in the country's north west they 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 it 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 a lack of support from nato meanwhile germany has agreed to supply munitions for their life is continuing as trikes billion did not originally back their operation

and some suggest that coalition pressure has caused a shift in position parties reno is going to decide who is whether germany joining nato bombing operation will turn out to be a good. deal 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 shells 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 are they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually subserve lying 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. you know ministries toward the foreign 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 lured by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for delivering these. two other counts but that is normal practice between current nato countries. out of the twenty eight need to 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 mark of duffy's 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 is a go score to. put mom and so on and nato is protracted intervention in libya has yet to yield its desired result with accusations persisting the un mandate has been violated than dr franklin lamb and actually it's from the americans concerned for middle east peace group says nato is as trikes only uniting people behind cannell khadafi. the bombing needlessly puts the population on edge it increases anxiety and anger if nato is trying to weaken the regime it seems to me that as

history teaches us would be a bomb a 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 it was a mistake obama who served the last election maybe 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 gotta kill the bad guy so it looks to us like it's now a game of targeting the leadership otherwise nato ruses 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 or didn't and 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 one nine hundred seventy three. the syrian government is holding talks on reforms but the opposition is play courting the national dialogue until it says the regime stops cracking down on protesters and the next hour focus returns to the turbulent arab region as r.t. speaks to see when a politician but he's on the best way out of his country's crisis. britain's best selling newspaper the news of the world is saying its final farewell to its readers after one hundred sixty eight years the paper was axed by its media mogul owner following the phone hacking scandal public outrage flat this week as claims emerged that journalists intercepted phone calls to matter victims and dead soldiers families and media analyst phil rees says rupert murdoch has now lost his long standing immunity among britain's political elite i think something changed this week for decades british prime ministers have been on the needs 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 the prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well the sun got me elected i mean you've got this meaning of democracy is that democracy really which the murdoch press was at the heart of but i think it was a for 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. 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. 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 all that the political class had 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. i think the national munchie fund has given the green light to a second rescue package from crees aimed at preventing the country from defaulting on its stead and as the i.m.s. new chief kristen like god will have to keep the problems of the cash strapped close to heart after picking out the bottom from hip criticize the dominique strauss kahn christine for looks at what france's former finance minister has inherited. from violence on the streets of the middle east. to protests in north africa to europe. for 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 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 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 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. and what lessons do you

think ought to be drawn from the way the u.s. legal system handled this current 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 la garde did 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 led 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 for south r.t. . still ahead in our weekly program young but with high hopes will lead in the more immediate and the russian summer camp to discuss the future and learn lessons from the pov. of the former bosnian serb general ratko law that is likely to get

a new legal counsel to represent him behave tribe you know within days his hearing this week was disrupted one largish was escorted out of the courtroom for shouting and interrupting the judge and refusing to plea instead the judge was forced to enter a not guilty plea on his behalf of logic and logic is accused of ordering the mass killing of thousands of both and muslims during the balkans war but on the anniversary of the shah burney some massacre many said feel their side of the story isn't being taken into account catarina thought of a now report. liquid little town of sibling meets in bosnia and herzegovina looks at dilip 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 sixteen years ago the entire region was torn apart by ethnic clashes during the yugoslav war instead of a need to became infamous when the united nations stated. thousand muslim men and boys

were massacred by bosnian serb forces today and the morial for 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 who get boston from the bosnian capital of. what the tourists aren't shown are the thousands of serbian graves that line cemeteries all around the state of 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 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 you know i was only nine years old when this had already struck away everything i had in life 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 i'm a survive his loss just like that of thousands of people here is being ignored. boteach 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 so-called humanitarian interventions which in the occurred in considerable number. of serpent 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. some might say the journey from seventy 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. then of course there are more stories online at r.t.
